Today is the day of shaking osmanthus in Shangguan Mansion, the four big, ancient osmanthus trees in the back garden of Shangguan Mansion are elegant, the branches are luxuriant, evergreen all year round, and the fragrance is pleasant. Please use this site. These four osmanthus trees are distributed in the east, south, west and north corners of the back garden of the house, each of which is more than 20 meters high, and the canopy covers almost the entire corner of the garden, becoming a natural summer shade umbrella.

Don't underestimate these four osmanthus trees, you have to collect dozens of catties of dried osmanthus every year! Some of these dried osmanthus flowers are made into sugar osmanthus and stored for cakes during the New Year, and some of them are placed in tea cans and mixed with tea leaves to make osmanthus tea. Some of them are made into osmanthus cakes after the osmanthus festival in Shangguan Mansion, which are paid tribute to nearby temples and distributed to the villagers in Furong Town, so that they can also be contaminated with a little blessing from Shangguan Mansion.

Xiaocui went outside to inquire about the news, and Ouyang Xinyu was able to go to the back garden to enjoy the "osmanthus rain" with Mrs. Shangguan calmly.

Under the instructions of Gui's sister-in-law, the maids began to spread a clean white cloth under the osmanthus tree, and next to the white cloth were placed a large disc made of bamboo strips for holding osmanthus flowers. Under the order of Gui's sister-in-law, the maids began to use all their strength to shake the osmanthus tree desperately.

The tiny osmanthus flowers suddenly fell like rain, falling on the heads, bodies and white cloth of the maids, and after just half an hour, the white cloth was already covered with a thick layer. At this time, the girls who were waiting next to the big disc began to carefully put the fresh osmanthus flowers that had been shaken down into the big disc with brooms and dustpans.

After the large disc was full, two strong men carried the large disc and the fresh osmanthus flowers inside to the open space in the front yard to dry. If the sun is good, after three or five days, send someone to pick up the branches and leaves, put it into a large vat if it is made into sugar osmanthus, and put it into a ceramic jar if it is made into osmanthus tea. The rest is there ready to be made into pastries.

Under the guidance of Gui's sister-in-law, the workers transported the fresh osmanthus flowers in a very orderly manner. This year's Osmanthus Festival shook osmanthus flowers, and Master Shangguan made an exception and did not participate, and Ouyang Xinyu didn't know where he went. Mrs. Shangguan sat in the gazebo in the back garden, drinking the freshly brewed aged osmanthus tea while watching the workers shake the osmanthus flowers. Ouyang Xinyu was amazed, this subordinate of the Shangguan Mansion is usually really well-trained, and his work is orderly, and he is not ambiguous at all.

This year, Shangguan Mansion shook osmanthus without Shangguan Wan'er's blind mixing, and it seems that it is going particularly smoothly, and the progress is faster than in previous years. Soon, when it was time for lunch, the osmanthus on the two osmanthus trees was shaken, and the remaining two continued to shake in the afternoon. The shelves in the front yard of Shangguanfu are already full of four or five large plates of fresh osmanthus flowers, and it seems that this year's harvest is better than in previous years.

When it was almost time for lunch, Xiao Cui hurriedly rushed to the house, and as soon as she came back, she first ran to Ouyang Xinyu and whispered into her ear. I can't tell from Ouyang Xinyu's expression, what happened? Xiao Cui whispered a few words to her and then left in a hurry, she sat in the main hall very calmly and had lunch with Lord Shangguan and his wife. Xiaocui should have gone to the place where the people were eating to eat.

After lunch, Ouyang Xinyu said that she was not feeling well, so she asked Mrs. Shangguan for leave and went back to her room to rest. Xiaocui was going to help shake the osmanthus in the afternoon, she casually took a few mouthfuls of rice into her mouth, and returned to Shangguan Wan'er's room while everyone was still eating.

"Miss Xinyu, something big is going to happen in the Shangguan Mansion!" Xiao Cui hurriedly entered the door and quickly covered the door, and said such a terrifying sentence to Ouyang Xinyu as soon as she opened her mouth.

Just now in the main hall, Xiaocui asked Ouyang Xinyu to hurry up and eat, and hurry back to the room after eating, she has something important to discuss with her. Therefore, Ouyang Xinyu lied that she was not feeling well, and ate a little casually, and hurried back to her room. Ouyang Xinyu returned to the room from the main hall with her front foot, and Xiao Cuiya arrived with her back foot.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Cui's words suddenly stirred up a thousand waves in Ouyang Xinyu's heart, and she asked Xiao Cui in surprise.

"The old man who pinched the candy man didn't leave Furong Town, he was outside the Shangguan Mansion to make the candy man! The housekeeper chased him several times, but he didn't drive him away, and he seemed to be waiting for a reply from the young lady! Xiao Cui repeated to Ouyang Xinyu.

"Xiao Cui, what the hell happened? You sit down and tell me slowly, make it clear! Hearing Xiao Cui say that the old man who pinched the candy man did not leave, Ouyang Xinyu pulled Xiao Cui to the stool and asked her to sit down and speak slowly.

"That old man who pinched the candy is not a person from your dynasty at all. He is a Han Chinese from the original from Zhong, and he does not write the characters of your dynasty, he writes simple Chinese characters. However, he is indeed from Qingfeng Village, which is on the top of the cliff where our young lady fell. According to Ouyang Xinyu's instructions, after Xiao Cui sat down, she said to Ouyang Xinyu eloquently.

"He's not the one we have crossed over to modernly? Then why did he come to Shangguan's Mansion? And pass me the note! Hearing this, Ouyang Xinyu was a little surprised, and she asked Xiao Cui.

"Miss Xinyu, the bad is here! That old man is not a candy kneader at all, he is really like you said, he is here to attract your attention to learn this art of selling now. Facing Ouyang Xinyu's doubts, Xiao Cui continued to speak to her.

"You said he didn't come from our dynasty, and I didn't know him before, so why did he attract my attention?" The more Ouyang Xin listened, the more confused she became, and she asked Xiao Cui puzzled.

"Miss Xinyu, if I say it, you must hold on! Grandpa, I also came to Shangguan Mansion to propose marriage to our master! Xiao Cui first gave Ouyang Xinyu a wake-up call, and then told a shocking secret.

"What? What did you say? This secret suddenly surprised Ouyang Xinyu. After she listened, she almost fell and ate, and she asked Xiaocui in a trembling voice.

"The old man is the manager of Qingfeng Village, and he said that their big boss once met with our Miss Wan'er, and the two of them also engaged each other for life in private." Xiao Cui said another sentence next, this sentence was like giving Ouyang Xinyu a slap in the face, which immediately made her stunned, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.

"How is this possible? Xiao Cui, tell me quickly, you're kidding me! Faced with what Xiao Cui said, Ouyang Xinyu felt very powerless. She hoped that this qiē was not real, and she hoped that Xiao Cui was really joking with her.

"Miss Xinyu, actually, I didn't believe it at first! The old man found a secluded place and talked to me in detail for a long time. Moreover, he said that our young lady has a token of their great boss in her hands. As long as we find the token he said, we can be sure that what he said is true! "Actually, the little cui girl doesn't want this to be true. However, it just happened, and the old man said it was so conclusive that he even mentioned the token. Now, it can't be true or fake, and it can't be fake.

"Tokens? What kind of token is he talking about? Ouyang Xinyu asked Xiao Cui.

"The old man said that it was half a jade pendant, and it was a jade jade pendant with a phoenix pattern. The other half is a dragon-shaped pattern, and in the hands of the master of Qingfeng Village, the two halves are combined to form a whole piece. Xiao Cui said in great detail, but she hadn't seen it before, so she didn't know where the jade pendant that the old man said was? Moreover, Miss Wan'er never mentioned it to her. So, she doesn't know if this thing is real or fake?

As soon as I found the token that the old man said, I had to make a decision.
