The lady may not be human

Chapter 359
Winter warm and generous pretending, after Mrs. Cao's persuasion failed, she accepted it calmly.

That's right, family, don't worry about it so much.

What's more, my family can eat too much, and what's more, if they don't eat, they can help Dongnuan to promote it.

Not to mention anything else, just the fact that one tree produces more than one stone of peaches, if it is said, those rich and powerful men will be scared to death.

At that time, those people still have to ask to come to buy peaches?

Although it is said that there are rewards from His Majesty and various salaries from the county lord, Mrs. Cao still feels sorry for Dongnuan. It is not easy for a little girl, and she may be short of money.

Therefore, if the things in Zhuangzi can be sold, she must help.

Mrs. Cao quickly took the peaches back, because there were too many, Dong Nuan sent an extra carriage to take her back.

Mrs. Cao returned to the house, and the first thing she had to do was to report the matter to the old lady.

When I listened, I didn't feel anything, just sighed.

The old lady was startled when she saw that the peaches were so big that they were almost a catty each.

"This..." Mrs. Cao pointed at the peach and said nothing for a long time. After a long time, she said in a hoarse voice: "Our Cao family picked it up."

As far as Dong Nuan's skill is concerned, even without the help of the Cao family, he will be able to succeed sooner or later. No matter how bad it is, he still has a fiancé who can read.

Looking at it now, Dong Nuan's ability is more than a little bit.

Or their Cao family is lucky!

Mrs. Cao couldn't help sighing: "Our family is lucky."

Mrs. Cao naturally responded: "Liu Yatou said, she will help deliver the peaches at the academy, so we don't need to worry about them. Let us keep these peaches for eating. I thought, we can't eat them by ourselves. Sending some back and forth is also helping the sixth girl to spread the word."

After hearing Mrs. Cao's words, Mrs. Cao nodded: "You are right."

After finishing speaking, she seemed to think of something again, turned her head and asked, "It's getting hotter and hotter today, have you arranged for someone to measure the size of Liu girl, it's time to cut the new summer clothes."

Hearing the old lady's question, Mrs. Cao hurriedly replied with a smile: "Don't worry, mother, everything has been arranged. When I go to pick the apricots two days later, I will measure them together."

Dong Nuan, as a girl of the Cao Mansion, even if she is a foster daughter, is like other girls in the Cao Mansion. She has monthly silver, which is simply pocket money given by her parents.

The amount is not much, three taels of silver.

Every season, clothes will be tailored depending on the situation. The Cao Mansion is still considered rich, so it usually starts with four sets.

Dongnuan came over at the end of last year, and cut the winter clothes for the New Year together with her, and then cut the spring clothes.

Since she came to the capital, she has never prepared clothes by herself.

It wasn't arranged by the Cao Mansion, but it was rewarded by His Majesty, and the people from the Shangyi Bureau came here to measure her and then cut the clothes.

The old lady was also afraid that Mrs. Cao would be too busy here, and it would be a loss for Dong Nuan.

When she heard that the apricots would be picked in two days, the old lady quickly waved her hands: "You can't pick more, there are enough peaches."

"I know." Mrs. Cao is not ignorant, if she didn't have other considerations today, and Dong Nuan insisted on pretending, she would not dare to charge so much.

However, everything has been collected, and the next step is how to arrange it.

Although the old lady was born as a princess, there are almost no one in her natal family, and the palace has long been in decline.

Originally there were two nephews, but when the first emperor was around, after a lot of trouble, the two nephews disappeared.

It is also because there is no successor in the palace, His Majesty has a little more preference for Cao's mansion, not only because of Concubine Rong, but also because the old lady has closed the whole house, and she is the only one left, which is really pitiful.

The old lady does have a cousin, but she has already married far away. The other family is a scholar, and she is arrogant in her bones, and will not come here to cling to the rich and powerful, so there will be some letters and gifts during the holidays.

"The peaches are fresh and tender. It's a long journey, so forget it." The old lady thought of this cousin, sighed, and rejected Mrs. Cao's proposal to send some there.

If the distance is close, it is not a problem to send more.

But the distance is long, and if the peaches get there, the peaches will be rotten and the pits will be left, right?
Dong Nuan is also thinking about this issue.

She was thinking about giving some to Cao Xinyao. Dong Nuan received a letter from the other party last month. The little girl is not very old, but she can hold things down.

Furthermore, with the glass and soap provided by Dong Nuan, Cao Xinyao stunned the people there as soon as he went to Dingzhou.

Now she is in the circle of noble ladies, she can be said to be like a fish in water, and her status is precious.

However, Dingzhou is too far away.

Nowadays, there is no express delivery like next-day delivery, and there is no good fresh-keeping technology.

Therefore, it is impossible to send fresh peaches.

After Dong Nuan thought about it, he decided to make preserved peaches, no matter what, it was his own wish.

But for the newly picked peaches today, Dong Nuan has other plans.

The Guozijian had to give some to the elders of the Cao family, as well as Gou Qingyun's elder brother.

The main thing is that Gou Qingyun's elder brother had given Dong Nuan a lot of books before, and Dong Nuan reciprocated, so I had to feel good about it.

However, everyone is unmarried men and women, so it is not appropriate to send them directly.

Therefore, Dongnuan decided to ask several elder brothers in Cao's mansion to help deliver it.

Send some dozens of catties of peaches to the Imperial College, and the rest of Dong Nuan is going to be given to the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and a few good friends.

When Dongnuan was tossing around in the Ministry of Industry before, he defended himself a lot. Although it was said that it was because of His Majesty's will, the other party's mind was indeed not bad.

It's just a little fruit, eat it to your heart's content.

Dong Nuan slowly arranges them, and puts cute but not very practical little baskets on them.

As for gift giving, just look good, don't look like your own family, just pretend to be real.

Dong Nuan went to the adults of the Ministry of Industry first.

Shangshu, servants and the like.

Because several adults are on duty now, when the winter is warm, they are all received by their family members.

Dong Nuan was also embarrassed to go in, after all, he was really not familiar with them.

Dong Nuan is too busy and doesn't have much time to socialize.

So, when the things were delivered, with a few words of politeness, Dong Nuan left.

The other party was probably also afraid of something, so he was embarrassed and forcefully pulled Dong Nuan into the mansion to talk and get closer.

By the time the delivery was over, the sky had already darkened.

Dongnuan looked at the remaining peaches, they were not as fresh as freshly picked peaches after being left overnight.

Therefore, Dong Nuan decided to use them and make preserved peaches.

Dongnuan doesn't need to do it, there are naturally people in Zhuangzi who can do it, she just needs some technical guidance.

Another day, Dong Nuan went to pick peaches in a carriage again.

On a new tree, the ripe ones with particularly good appearance were picked off, and then drove the carriage to the Imperial College.

Dong Nuan deliberately chose to go past noon, and the students have a lunch break, so if they want to see someone, it is more convenient to call them out.

Dong Nuan called Cao Feng.

Compared with Cao Kun, the fourth brother of the uncle's family, Dong Nuan is still more familiar with Cao Feng.
