Xiao's mother's sudden action scared everyone so much that they all surrounded her and asked her what was wrong with her.
Who knew that Xiao's mother had made a big mistake? She was fine:
"I'm fine. I was just surprised and happy. I was wondering, how much money would it cost? Where did you get so much money?"
Everyone was alarmed by Xiao's mother's heavy breathing.
So Jiang Sui told Xiao's mother again the wording that Xiao Hechuan had said to her.
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked.
A scented incense can be sold for two thousand taels of silver? Is it that powerful?
The Xiao family, who had been staying in Xianhe Village all those years ago, had just arrived in Jeju for less than a year and had never seen the world. So in their view, the fact that a piece of incense could be sold for two thousand taels really shattered their worldview and made them feel that this world was so upside down.
"Well, it's getting late. Don't stand at the gate anymore. Let's go in and take a look. Sui Sui has been carefully preparing for several days. Let's see the results of her hard work!"
Xiao Hechuan stepped forward and put his arm around Jiang Sui's shoulders, pinching her nose lovingly in front of the whole family. He was also very curious about how his wife had decorated the house.
This is actually a very happy thing. As long as the source of the money is clean, what is there to worry about?
So, everyone followed Jiang Sui's footsteps and stepped into the gate of the Xiao Mansion. After entering, they saw the spacious front yard. The long corridors on both sides were hung with small lanterns, making it as bright as daylight. On both sides of a cobblestone path in the middle of the yard were two rows of potted flowers and plants. There were two lotus flowers in a porcelain pot, two of which were in full bloom, and one was still a bud. Under the huge lotus leaves, several koi were swimming happily.
The back garden is the most beautiful. As soon as you come in, you can hear the sound of flowing water in the rockery, but the sound is not very loud, but very crisp. Many flower trees have been transplanted in the garden. Hibiscus and osmanthus will soon be in full bloom, and the whole yard will be filled with fragrance.
Because it was a new house, Jiang Sui spent some money to introduce some potted flowers and plants, mostly peonies, because they all represent wealth, as the saying goes, "when flowers bloom, wealth comes."
I also planted a few pots of yellow chrysanthemums. It doesn’t matter as long as they are not white chrysanthemums. What I want is the feeling of a cluster of flowers.
Xiao Lanlan saw the pot of chrysanthemums that had not yet bloomed and asked:
"Sister-in-law, is this a chrysanthemum?"
She learned a lot about flowers and plants at the girls' school, so now she can recognize most of them and know their language and meaning.
Jiang Sui nodded and said yes.
At this time, Zhou held her stomach and was a little confused:
"But isn't it said that chrysanthemums are unlucky?"
She didn't know much, so she had this doubt, because chrysanthemums are generally used to mourn the deceased.
"No, sister-in-law, yellow chrysanthemums are fine, as long as they are not white. Chrysanthemums symbolize purity and noble qualities, and represent living in harmony with the world. They are suitable for giving to elders, and also symbolize longevity and good luck!"
Lanlan was the first to answer, and Jiang Sui nodded in agreement.
"Yes, that's what I meant. Besides, the flowers I chose are about to enter their blooming season. Only the peony is the true national beauty. When it blooms, the capital city is moved. When autumn comes on September 8, my flower blooms and all other flowers die. One night, a light thunder falls and thousands of silk threads fall. The clear sky shines on the tiles with different shades of green. These respectively describe the peony, chrysanthemum and peony.
We can choose an auspicious day and hold a housewarming party, invite the neighbors over, and have a great time enjoying the flowers at their most beautiful. It will be very impressive!"
Jiang Sui was very happy at the moment and she recited poems unconsciously, but she overlooked one point: the poems she recited did not exist in the history of Daqing.
Moreover, the writer of these poems was of extremely high attainments. The moment Xiao Hechuan heard them, he was immediately amazed, especially the two lines praising peony and chrysanthemum, which were so magnificent.
He was stunning, but at the same time, it also solidified his inner suspicion that his Sui Sui had another excellent and powerful soul.
Every time, Sui Sui always managed to surprise him inadvertently, but what followed was the lingering feeling in his heart called the fear of losing, which always made him uneasy for a long time. Only when he hugged her could he feel a little at ease.
Everyone else was immersed in the joy of moving into a new home and didn't pay much attention to what poem Jiang Sui recited. They thought it was taught by Xiao Hechuan. Their interest was now on the house and choosing which room they would live in in the future.
The two cooks had prepared a table of delicacies in the living room as instructed by Jiang Sui. They had nearly twenty years of experience in the kitchen, and the dishes they made were exquisite and delicious. There were twelve dishes in total, each one was different. Desserts and fruits were also prepared after the meal.
Jiang Sui took Xiao's father and mother to Beiyuan which was prepared for them separately, and told them that they would live there from now on.
Xiao's mother didn't expect that she had her own small courtyard, which was kept so elegantly with flowers and plants. The room was also spacious, with a separate bathroom and study. It was so exquisite.
"Sui Sui, your father and I can just live in one room. We should not live in this yard anymore. You and Hechuan can live here."
She didn't even know there was a Nanyuan.
Jiang Sui smiled and said:
"There are two main courtyards. Hechuan and I will live in the South Courtyard in the future. This North Courtyard is specially prepared for you and Dad. You two are the most respected elders in our family, so naturally you should live in the main courtyard. Hechuan and I are thick-skinned, so we took the initiative to ask for a separate courtyard. However, our conditions are limited now, so we can only afford a house of this size. When our business grows bigger and bigger, we will move to a bigger one. At that time, each of us will have a small courtyard."
Jiang Sui knew how to make promises, and after hearing what she said, Xiao's mother's worries were dispelled. After all, there were only two courtyards like this, and the best way to divide it would be to give one to the old couple and one to the young couple. After all, the house was bought by them, so it was natural for them to live in the main courtyard. And they were the elders of the family, so only they could live there.
Think about it, you have three sons, and it wouldn't be fair to any of them. What about the other two? Shouldn't you treat them all equally?
Although the other three brothers of the Xiao family may not care much about this matter and will not say anything, it does not mean that their future wives do not care, right?
"You are the most talkative girl, but it is also true that you are the lucky koi of our family. With you here, I believe that day will not be too far away."
Every time Jiang Sui was praised as a lucky star or given lucky koi, she felt embarrassed and always smiled awkwardly:
"Mom, we can hire someone to take over the business in the store. We don't have to work so hard. You also have important things to take care of. After the housewarming party, you have to put the matter of getting the eldest and second brothers married on the agenda."
