In the Wang family hall, the elegant birds are silent.
No one dared to speak loudly in front of this second young lady.
The two elders could only sigh.
After a moment of silence, the second young lady ordered: "Send someone to keep an eye on me. We must not let the people named Xiao spread their branches in Yangzhou. In short, I will not let them have an easy time if I am here again."
The second young lady of the Wang family, whose surname is Wang and given name is Xiao Ning, has been dominated by her elder sister since she was a child. She was an invisible person in the Wang family during her childhood.
The eldest lady was favored by the whole family, which made the second lady feel resentful. It was not until her sister got married that her status in the Wang family gradually became more prominent. She was also extremely arrogant and always loved to compare with her sister.
I want to snatch away the favor my sister received before, and do it better than my sister.
Sixteen years later, this resentment has not diminished, but has intensified and become more and more distorted.
I just heard that my sister is the master of the Xiao family, and I want to be the master of the family.
In recent years, thanks to the help of his brothers who have become high-ranking officials in the capital, the Wang family has enjoyed a smooth life, otherwise they would have been wiped out long ago.
It was rare to hear the news of the destruction of the Xiao family. Wang Xiaoning was in a happy mood. He had been secretly asking for news about his sister, but for some reason he suddenly appeared at home.
This was because Wang Xiaoning was not careful. The appearance of his sister seemed to take everything away from him.
So what she is thinking about now is how to drive her sister out of Yangzhou City.
In front of his parents, Wang Xiaoning still had concerns. After giving the instructions, he called aside the servant who was inquiring about the information.
Then ask for details.
"What kind of wine are they selling? How are the customers? Are there many?"
"I heard it's called Peach Blossom Drunk, and there are not too many customers, but today is the first day it's sold, and it seems to be quite popular."
"Peach Blossom Drunk? Isn't the Xiao family a cloth seller? When did they start selling wine?"
"This villain doesn't know yet."
"How does the wine taste?"
"The villain has not tasted it."
"Why don't you buy a bite and try it?"
The servant looked embarrassed: "It's too expensive, a villain can't afford it."
"How expensive?"
"Ten taels of silver for a small pot, probably only twenty taels of wine."
"What?" Wang Xiaoning's eyes almost popped out of his head when he heard this, "Why didn't she go and rob her? Her wine is worth more than her silver!"
"No, but some people still buy it."
"Tomorrow morning, I want to go and take a look for myself. I want to see how many brainless idiots there are in this world who are clearly trying to trick people out of their money. Can no one see it?"
Wang Xiaoning didn't quite believe it, crossed his arms over his chest, and walked away thoughtfully.
Youdao is like fireworks in Yangzhou in March.
Although it was just the end of March, the misty rain in Yangzhou still gave Lin Wanjie a little shock.
Early in the morning, Lin Wanjie sat on the second floor of the attic and watched the beautiful scenery of the West Lake.
Slender West Lake is smaller than West Lake, but in the hazy morning mist, it looks like a beauty out of the bath, which makes people mesmerized. The weeping willows beside the lake are green and green, and the lake is dotted with green lotuses. The flower boats are swaying, stopping and walking, and occasionally the sound of the piano comes from the flower boats.
Lin Wanjie's thoughts could not always be thinking about Yu Jiao'er. Occasionally, he would be distracted by the lake scenery. When he was in Hangzhou, he rarely had time to appreciate the ancient city scenery. When he came to Yangzhou, he found that it was a kind of enjoy.
There were footsteps on the stairs.
Xiao Cui brought up a plate of pink and white peach blossom cakes.
"Brother Lin, try it quickly."
Lin Wanjie looked back and found that the peach blossom cake was very delicate and small, but he had no appetite, so he shook his head.
Xiao Cui put the plate down directly, and then added: "The eldest lady personally made this for Brother Lin."
"Mrs. Madam made it herself?"
"No! This is the first time the eldest lady has made these. I don't know if they are good or not, so I dare not send them to you personally. Do you dare not eat what the eldest lady has made?"
"Uh." Lin Wanjie hesitated for a moment, but finally picked up a piece and stuffed it into his mouth.
The peach blossom cake tastes very good, with a hint of sweetness in the crispiness. The taste is not obtrusive and has the fragrance of peach blossoms, but the skin is a little thicker.
Just as Lin Wanjie was about to comment, there was another clicking sound at the top of the stairs. The eldest lady ran over in a panic and said, "Oh, this time it's not good. Don't eat it yet."
As he said that, he was about to take the plate away.
Lin Wanjie was puzzled: "It's good, why don't you eat it?"
"The mille-feuille has been made into one layer of puff pastry, which is a shame."
The eldest lady's face turned red and she was so embarrassed that she was sweating.
It turns out to be Thousand Layer Peach Blossom Cake.
Lin Wanjie had heard that the pastry used to make mille-feuille is very troublesome and takes a long time.
I guess the eldest lady got up very early and got busy.
Where did Mrs. Key do this in the Xiao family?
All for yourself?
Thinking about Lin Wanjie, my heart felt warm.
He firmly grabbed the eldest lady's hand and said, "It's okay, as long as it tastes good. There's not much difference between one layer and a thousand layers."
"That won't work. Let me practice and make you some decent pastries."
Lin Wanjie smiled: "Madam, actually you don't have to be like this. I am a grown man. I can take care of myself, but...it just takes some time."
No matter how much the eldest lady hides her thoughts, she can't hide her thoughts from Lin Wanjie.
If she really didn't want to put the semi-finished product in front of Lin Wanjie, why did she ask Xiaocui to send it?
The eldest lady wanted to show off in front of Lin Wanjie and let Lin Wanjie know that she was working hard for him.
Lin Wanjie knew the inside story and didn't complain at all, but felt a little distressed.
The eldest lady is a high-ranking person, but now she is so careful to please herself.
I really don’t deserve it.
The eldest lady blushed, knowing that she was superfluous.
At this time, a new day of brewing has begun, and the yard is filled with the aroma of wine.
Xiao Yuchan is very energetic. In the past, her mother was busy working for the Xiao family. Now she is a new family and she has grown up. She must follow her mother's example and take over the burden of the family.
The eldest lady looked at her daughter in the courtyard and smiled: "Look, Yuchan has grown up and can do everything by herself. You don't need me to worry about it in the future. She will be free soon. I want to learn from it in the future." Learn cooking skills and cook something delicious for Yu Chan, or learn from Jian Niang and live a good life raising flowers and grass."
The eldest lady really yearned for this kind of life, and she couldn't help but smile as she spoke.
Suddenly, someone shouted outside the hospital: "Is this the place selling alcohol?"
"yes!"
Xiao Yuchan responded quickly and ran to open the door.
There was a servant standing at the door. I don't know whose house it belonged to.
I asked him face to face: "How much peach blossom drunk do you still have?"
"Today's brew is not ready yet, only five kilograms."
"Twenty taels of gold, right? Here you go, give me the wine."
As if he knew the market very well, the other party took out a piece of gold and gave it to Xiao Yuchan.
Xiao Yuchan held the gold and was a little confused.
It's only the second day, how come you have such a big customer?
"Lin Da, come down here and help. If they want to buy all our wine, they have already paid gold."
