Chapter 319
Chapter 319
I was busy working in the fields, and a few more days had passed when I went back into the mountains.
This time, many people went to Dongshan Village together and picked all the cliff fruit leaves that could be picked.
Jiang Yan was still concerned about the fruits of the tamarisk that would grow later. Even though the elders laughed and said they knew what was going on, she still repeatedly emphasized that the fruits of the tamarisk would be more useful than the leaves.
When making tea, Jiang Yan followed Jiang Fa closely, learning the techniques of controlling the heat. This made Sun Yun, who came to look for Li Hao to wash, couldn't help but nag: "Look how greedy she is, old man, you should make her some wheat tea later."
Jiang Yan, who was once again deemed to be of poor health, was restricted by the elders of Dongshan Village in the amount and frequency of his drinking of cliff fruit leaf tea. He could only get together with his younger friends to drink wheat tea that warms the spleen and stomach to satisfy his cravings, or drink plain water.
However, the share given to Jiang Yan finally returned to her a few days later.
At this time, Jiang Ying, Jiang Ai and Jiang An, who had saved enough money, had returned to the village to rest together, and were curiously surrounding the two new items.
Jiang Wang handed over several cans of taro leaf tea that he had brought from Jiang Fa and had already packaged them to Jiang Ying and the other three, including Jiang Yan, and instructed them:
"Give these to your uncle and aunt, as well as Jiang Yuan and Jiang Nian. The rest you can discuss and give to the stewards in the mansion. Although these things from the mountain are not valuable, they are at least a token of our gratitude for their care during this period."
Jiang Yan was familiar with Hao's steward, so he went to escort them there. Jiang Ying and the others were under Xian's supervision, while the three of them were in charge of the Fu residence.
After the discussion, everyone dispersed. Jiang Ying quietly pulled Jiang Yan aside and asked, "Do you want to give some to Miss Fu? She's getting married in a few days."
"Miss Fu, getting married?" Jiang Yan was surprised. "She's so young, why is she getting married?"
Jiang Ying thought for a moment and said, "I heard he's nineteen now, which isn't too young. If it hadn't been for the years of instability, Aunt Wan would have wanted to bring Youqi back when Sister Zhizhi was sixteen."
Jiang Yan had been Fu Nulang's maid, so she naturally knew her age and understood the differences between the times...
However, Jiang Yan asked quietly, "Where are you going to marry, Miss Fu? Life out there isn't really that safe..."
"Changning Mansion, Governor Zheng's family." The news that Miss Fu was going to get married had been circulating in the mansion for several days, and Jiang Ying could hear all the news without having to ask specifically.
She said, "I heard that the mother of the man Miss Fu is marrying is General Song's niece. Yanyan, if Miss Fu and her husband ever get into a fight, or even a physical fight, and Master Fu comes to vent his anger on his niece, will he still be able to hold his chest high like he does now?"
Before Dongshan Village was left with only the old, weak and young supporting each other, it was not as harmonious as it is now, and couples would often quarrel.
In particular, there was a family in the east of the village where the couple would fight every few days. They would refuse to listen to advice to break up, and when the fight got serious, the sister-in-law would call her family to come and beat them up, and then the uncles and aunts in the village who were closer to her would get involved.
Jiang Yan leaned on Jiang Ying's arm, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "You are working under someone else now, think of him well."
"So, do you want to give me something?" Jiang Ying asked curiously. She couldn't tell Jiang Yan's attitude towards Fu Nulang, but she felt it was a bit complicated.
Jiang Yan fell silent for a moment before saying, "It's not a good thing. Just give some to the maidservant beside Miss Fu to taste. Don't tell her that it's my intention to give it to her."
