What kind of fruit wine or expensive tea does the Chen family not have, so why would they like these crude flower teas?
Unexpectedly, she, Xiao Ming, looked at a steady and self-possessed little girl and would do such a thing in order to please the Chen family and Brother Ze.
He secretly glanced at Mrs. Chen, she couldn't stand her eagerness to curry favor.
Mrs. Liu was too lazy to take a look, and replied with a smile to Mrs. Chen and Chen Yuanze: "Brother Ze, these wines are specially given to you by Doctor Xiao. I will send them to your yard, and put the rest in the warehouse."
How could something she didn't like come into her mouth and be stored in the treasury to be rewarded to her servants?
"Okay! Move them all into my yard." Chen Yuanze didn't think much about it. In his heart, the things his sister gave him were treasures.
No matter what Mrs. Liu said, she was reasonable, but Mrs. Xu was not happy in her heart. The frivolity in Mrs. Liu's words was obvious. This was not because she looked down upon her Brother Ze.
She didn't like the things Xiao Ming sent, so why did she give them to her son like this? Mrs. Xu felt unhappy and turned to look at the crude things brought in, but just one glance made her eyes light up.
Mrs. Xu laughed and said, "Look, mother, we Brother Ze are so blessed."
Everyone was confused when she said this, including Madam Liu. Looking at Madam Xu, she wondered what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd.
Seeing everyone looking at her in confusion, Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "Look at the logo on the wine jar."
Everyone didn't know why, but they saw the one from the 'Xiao' family above, written like a flower, which seemed a bit familiar.
"Sister-in-law, isn't this just the word Xiao?" the fifth lady asked strangely.
But Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Liu saw that the flower-like character "Xiao" was the new fruit wine released this year.
Could it be that the fruit wine Xiao Ming sent was the fruit wine sold outside? A small jar costs more than ten taels of silver, and canned food is even more expensive. It is contained in a glass bottle, and a small bottle costs ten taels of silver.
Suddenly, Mrs. Liu regretted how much money such a big jar would cost. She said a few words, hoping to make Chen Yuanze happy and sell it well in front of the old lady, but now Chen Yuanze was cheaper with so many fruit wines and cans.
"Ouch! Sister-in-law, don't you think this is the new fruit wine this year?" The third lady reacted and laughed.
"I didn't expect Dr. Xiao's family to have such fruit wine and cans that are not available in the market." The fruit wine of the Lin Family Fruit Shop in Hechun City has long been sold out. Whose family has fruit wine at their banquet now? , that is a very honorable thing.
"No, it looks like it to me." Mrs. Xu smiled and said, she didn't care anymore, she took out a pack of chrysanthemum tea with the same symbol of "Xiao" and said: "This chrysanthemum tea is also a good thing. In the capital, it is only 10 liang." It’s a bag of silver. Our master likes this taste. It makes you feel refreshed after drinking it.”
"Twelve?" Everyone was shocked. Mrs. Liu seriously suspected that Mrs. Xu had exaggerated.
Such an ordinary chrysanthemum can be sold for ten taels of silver. Prices in the capital are too high.
"That's right! Don't believe it. You can't buy it even if you have money. I still got two packs to drink thanks to my mother's family." Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, Mrs. Xu continued, "There is a family in the capital." The teahouse specializes in this tea, but unfortunately they don’t take it out at all.
Her natal family is the Xu family of Duke Xu, and she is married to the Lin family. This tea was sent by the Lin family. Now the Lin family has made a lot of money in the capital with fruit wine and canned food, and has also made many noble friends.
Mrs. Xu continued to look through the contents of the basket. The basket was only a little bigger. In addition to a few bags of chrysanthemum tea, there were also three to five bags of honeysuckle and wolfberry. She found an exquisite small box on the bottom floor.
Out of curiosity, she took out the box, and when she opened it, she was greeted by the scent of medicine. When she saw clearly what was inside, Mrs. Xu immediately exclaimed: "This is good stuff."
"Sister-in-law, what is this?" Mrs. Liu was in a bad mood, and she was a little dissatisfied when she saw Mrs. Xu's behavior.
"Brothers and sisters, this is a good thing." Mrs. Xu smiled and looked at Mrs. Liu who didn't look so good.
"Sister-in-law, please tell me what good thing this is." The third lady looked at the rows of small pills in the box.
"These are ginseng pills, used to replenish the body." Mrs. Xu explained, looking at the old lady, "My mother also knows that my mother has been in poor health, and my sister-in-law collected these ginseng pills from nowhere to help her nurse. My health is much better now."
"Is this true? Is my family in good health?" Mrs. Chen asked. Xu's mother was the old lady of Duke Xu's mansion. The old woman was thin and small, and her body was worse than hers. She had been taking medicine all the year round, and half of her body was about to be buried. .
"It's much better now, and I can still walk on the ground." Xu said.
"These ginseng balls are a good thing. Each one is worth ten taels of silver." Mrs. Xu was secretly shocked. These things have signs dedicated to fruit wine. Are they all the property of Dr. Xiao's family?
Ms. Liu was so shocked that she couldn't speak. Things that she didn't like were treasures in her sister-in-law's eyes.
"You go and bite some, don't let the people below ruin the things. Send the ginseng balls and scented tea to the old lady's yard, and send the fruit wine and cans to Master Ze's yard." Mrs. Liu said , ordered Mama Wang and Zi Lian to go to the front yard and watch. Even now she doesn't blame Xiao Ming for dirtying her precious carriage.
She had already announced that she was going to move to Chen Yuanze's yard. Even if she was reluctant to let go, she couldn't do anything to regret it.
Mrs. Liu sent Mrs. Wang and Zi Lian down to watch, and then said to Mrs. Li and Mrs. Wang who were kneeling on the ground: "You will be rewarded for escorting Dr. Xiao, go down and receive the reward."
"Yes, it's a reward from Madam Xie." Mrs. Li wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads and breathed a sigh of relief. It was really a false alarm.
"Grandma, I'll go take a look." Chen Yuanze followed out impatiently.
"Look at this child." Mrs. Xu was helpless.
Chen Ningyan and others were extremely jealous. She and the others also liked the taste of fruit wine, but the house only had one or two jars per month, which was not enough for them to drink. They did not expect that Chen Yuanze would get so much at once, especially Chen Ningyan. She was so aggrieved that she almost cried. She liked to eat canned food, and she could only eat some canned snacks in her mother's room every day. Her mother didn't give her more, but Chen Yuanze's grandmother was not enough, and Xiao Ming gave her so much. Come.
Finally, someone stood up, resigned and walked out, followed by several others who resigned and left Jing'an Hall.
"These children." Mrs. Chen said with a smile. She knew without thinking that she was asking Brother Ze for fruit wine. She thought she would not let him go until he brought some out.
"My mother is getting better now, and my daughter-in-law is thinking that the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, so our house will be lively and lively." Ms. Liu asked, it is the end of summer now, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is not far away, so naturally we have to prepare in advance. .
"Well, let's take care of things as in previous years." Old Mrs. Chen said. The Chen Mansion had banquets every day during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so they had to be arranged in advance.
"yes."
