She slept until noon. When Su Nuannuan opened her eyes, she felt the room was full of silence. She stretched, but didn't want to get up. She stayed in bed for another quarter of an hour before getting up, muttering to herself, "You are only in your twenties, how can you be so lazy? If you want to talk about being tired, the life in this rich mansion is much easier than the five-to-nine-to-five life in modern times. At that time, I could even work overtime for a few nights, but now... Hmm! Could it be that the physical fitness of ancient people was poor? That's not the case. Doesn't Duan Tingxuan look thin, but he has meat on his bones? After all, I have squatted horse stance and learned kung fu. I can't be so bad, right?"
Yin stood up while mumbling. Cong'er happened to lift the door curtain and came in. Seeing her, she smiled and said, "I was afraid of disturbing grandma's sweet dream, so I stayed outside. I vaguely heard voices in the room, so I came in to see. Sure enough, grandma woke up." After that, she hurriedly helped her wash and comb her hair. Then she heard Aunt Jing's voice outside, "Is your grandma still awake?"
Su Nuannuan shouted from inside the house, "Wake up, wake up, come in." After that, she saw Honglian and Aunt Jing come in together. Honglian smiled and said, "Aunt, what's the matter? Why are you so anxious? You've come here twice in just half a day. It's strange. It's almost Mid-Autumn Festival. Aren't you busy?"
Aunt Jing smiled and said, "I finally managed to steal a half day of leisure, but you, a bitch, wiped out my contribution with just one sentence." Yin held Su Nuannuan's hand and said, "Sister, today is the best weather, the sun is not too strong, and there are gusts of cool breeze. It is the time when fruits and vegetables are abundant over at Meiyue Tower. Why don't we go over and pick some to eat, mainly for the fun of it. Bring the pepper seeds you mentioned, and we will go and plant them, even though the solar term is not right. But don't we have a greenhouse? Just plant half of it. I think this thing is really beautiful. When there are more fruits, in addition to eating them, we can also dry some and hang them in the house during the New Year. It will be beautiful and auspicious. What do you think?"
"You can come up with such an idea. You have a really flexible brain." Su Nuannuan aroused Aunt Jing's interest. She stood up and asked Xiangyun to take out all the pepper seeds she had collected. Then the two of them went to Meiyue Tower together.
The dilapidated house back then has now become a large flat vegetable garden, divided into two parts by a corridor. One part is used to grow natural vegetables according to the four seasons, and the other part is all greenhouses. A large part of the greenhouse is used to grow vegetables, and a small part is used to grow flowers. This is Aunt Jing's hobby.
When the women working in the fields saw the two of them coming, they all came forward to greet them. They heard Su Nuannuan asking about the situation in the vegetable garden, saying that she wanted to find a place to grow peppers. So a maid in charge of the Meiyue Tower smiled and said, "To answer your question, Grandma, there are only cabbages and radishes left in the vegetable garden, and some sweet potatoes and peanuts. The sweet potatoes and peanuts can be harvested around the Mid-Autumn Festival, but we have to wait for the cabbages and radishes. In the greenhouse over there, the spinach occupies two greenhouses. We can't eat all of it in our house, so we have to cut some every day to share with the servants. Since Grandma wants to grow peppers, pour out the ones that have just been harvested in the greenhouse. The spinach in one greenhouse is enough for our house to eat."
Su Nuannuan nodded and said, "Okay, then pour out a greenhouse."
Before he finished speaking, the working women hurried to the greenhouse where the spinach had just been harvested. Just kidding, who would miss such an opportunity to show off in front of the master? Once the grandmother is happy, will there be less reward? I heard that the business in the mansion is now making a fortune. Yesterday, when the second master and the second grandmother went to Chunfeng Garden, they said they took a large sandalwood box inlaid with gold and jade. Everyone said that there were probably hundreds of thousands of silver notes in it? The private treasury has so much money to share, not to mention the public. The monthly salary for each festival this year is so generous. Even the servants in the ordinary royal palace may not be able to enjoy such treatment.
Therefore, everyone rushed forward bravely. The remaining spinach in the greenhouse was uprooted in a blink of an eye. At this time, Su Nuannuan and Aunt Jing didn't need to do anything. They handed over the pepper seeds, and naturally the housekeeper assigned people to plant them. Then the two of them walked around the greenhouse and felt refreshed after coming out. Su Nuannuan smiled and said, "These flowers are blooming beautifully, especially the roses. Let's see when to have someone pick some so that we can make some flower cakes. But let's forget about it for the next two days. Maybe it's because I've been running around too much. I haven't been at peace since yesterday."
"Sister, you are truly capable and should do more work. You should also ask the daughter-in-law of the Xue family to cook some nourishing food for you. You have been away for several months. How can you be as comfortable as you are at home? The food is naturally not as good. Now that you are back, you should take good care of yourself."
As they were talking, Yang suddenly came running over with disheveled hair. When she saw Su Nuannuan, she gasped and cried, "Grandma, Grandma, go and see, Grandma Yun... Grandma Yun wants to beat our aunt to death."
"What?"
Su Nuannuan and Aunt Jing were both shocked when they heard this. Aunt Jing asked sternly, "Tell me clearly, why would Grandma Yun want to beat Aunt Jiang to death? What happened?"
Yang cried and said, "My master came over yesterday and said that he had told Madam Yun that our aunt and Chuan'er should move to Chunfeng Garden as soon as possible. My aunt immediately packed her things last night and spent most of the night packing. But when she went to say goodbye to Madam Yun, she didn't know why they started arguing. Then our aunt ran out, and Madam Yun chased after her with a pair of scissors. The maids in the yard stopped her. I was so scared that my soul flew out of my body that I ran out quickly. When I heard that Madam was here, I hurried to ask you for help."
Su Nuannuan didn't wait to hear the end, she had already raised her foot and walked away. When Yang finished speaking, she was already far away from Meiyue Tower. Aunt Jing also hurriedly followed, frowning and pondering. After a long while, she seemed to have figured something out. When she was about to turn around and talk to Su Nuannuan, she saw that she had a murderous look on her face and her chest was heaving violently with anger. So she hurriedly said, "Grandma, calm down. Grandma Yun has been a little moody since the New Year. Aunt Jiang is her family after all. No matter what happens, we have to plan before we act."
"Aunt Jiang is now a member of my courtyard."
Su Nuannuan said this bluntly. She was really angry to the extreme. She didn't expect that Xu Ranyun would jump out and make trouble again just after she came back.
He asked Aunt Jiang to move out because he felt guilty about monopolizing Duan Tingxuan. He wanted to separate the two of them to prevent them from becoming enemies or even killing each other in the future. However, he did not expect the other party to be so arrogant that even Duan Tingxuan's words were of no use.
