Rebirth of the leisurely life in ancient times

Chapter 282 How could it be for free?

Jing He hurried to the greenhouse and found Xia Hui, who was weeding the spinach that he had planted before the New Year. She said, "Uncle Hui, there are guests coming to our house who want to buy vegetables. The girl asked you to pick the spinach and lettuce."

Xia Hui, who was weeding, said quickly, "Okay, go back and tell the girl that the vegetables will be sent back soon."

Jing He nodded and said, "Hey, thank you for your hard work, Uncle Hui."

Xia Hui waved his hand and smiled: "What's so hard about this? Go back!"

After Jinghe left, Xia Hui called the people who were busy in other sheds and picked two baskets of spinach and lettuce.

"Brother Hui, these dishes are enough!"

Xia Hui heard this and said, "That should be enough. All right, carry it back and give it to the girl first!"

"Okay."

When Xia Hui and his companions arrived at the house, they saw Xia Cheng giving instructions to the servants. He said, "Brother Cheng, we have picked all the vegetables the young lady wanted. Go and tell her."

Hearing this, Xia Cheng turned around and saw that it was Xia Hui. He nodded and said, "Okay, carry the food and follow me!"

A few people came to the outside of the front hall, and Xia Cheng went in and said to Xia Zixuan: "Miss, the vegetables have been picked and are now in the yard outside the main hall."

Xia Zixuan smiled and said, "Okay, I understand Uncle Cheng."

Then he said to Madam Liu and the others, "Madams, the vegetables have been picked. Do you want to go and take a look?"

Madam Liu smiled and stood up and said, "Okay, let's go and take a look! We should go back too."

Xia Zixuan urged them to stay, "Madams and young ladies, please stay for lunch!"

Mrs. Huang declined politely, "No thanks, Miss Xia. We have guests coming to our house and we have to go back to entertain them. We will bother you another day."

Madam Liu also said, "Yes, Miss Xia can come to our house as a guest if she has nothing else to do."

Xia Zixuan smiled and nodded, "Okay, then I won't keep you, Madam."

The lively Huang Wenxiu said, "Miss Xia, can we come and play with you some other day?"

Although Liu Jiayi didn't say anything, her sparkling eyes also showed her thoughts. Xia Zixuan pursed her lips and smiled, "Sure! I'm alone every day, and I won't be bored with you guys around."

Huang Wenxiu smiled and said, "Okay, then we'll come back to see Miss Xia another day."

Xia Zixuan smiled and nodded. When they arrived in the yard, they saw Xia Hui and others carrying four baskets of vegetables.

Madam Liu pointed to one of the baskets and asked, "Miss Xia, what kind of vegetable is this?"

Xia Zixuan said, "This is lettuce, which is delicious stir-fried or served cold. And this is spinach, which can be stir-fried with eggs, made into spinach and egg soup, etc. There are many ways to eat it."

Madam Liu was surprised and said, "I didn't expect that there are so many ways to eat this little vegetable. Thank you Miss Xia for telling me."

Madam Huang asked the maid beside her to take out the silver. She smiled and said, "Miss Xia, I don't know how much silver these vegetables will cost. Here are fifty taels of silver. I hope Miss Xia won't think it's too little."

Just as Xia Zixuan was about to refuse, Madam Liu smiled and handed over the silver. She agreed, "Yes, Miss Xia, please accept it!"

Xia Zixuan quickly refused and said, "Madam, you can take back the money. I am giving you this dish."

Madam Liu said, "That won't do. You worked so hard to grow the crops, how can we take them for free?"

Xia Zixuan smiled and said, "Madam, didn't you send me so many gifts? How can it be for nothing?"

Madam Huang interrupted and said, "That's to thank you, it's different from this, Miss Xia, don't refuse, accept it!"

Xia Zixuan shook her head and said, "Then consider it as a gift from me to my two friends Jiajia and Wenxiu. Don't refuse it."

When Madam Liu and Madam Huang heard her say this, they looked at each other and said with a smile, "Okay then! Thank you, Miss Xia."

"You two are not allowed to bully Miss Xia in the future." Mrs. Huang warned.

She paid special attention to what her daughter said because she knew her daughter's personality.

When Liu Jiayi and Huang Wenxiu heard Xia Zixuan say that they were friends, they said happily, "Got it. We won't do that."

Madam Liu looked at her daughter, who was rarely smiling so happily, and said with a smile, "Okay, let's go back today, and you can make an appointment with Miss Xia to play some other day!"

Liu Jiayi nodded and said, "Okay, I understand, Mom."

Madam Liu said to Xia Zixuan again, "Miss Xia, we are sorry for disturbing you today. We will go back first."

Xia Zixuan smiled and said, "Madam, what are you talking about? I'm not disturbing you. You guys are here so I can have another person to talk to!"
