Chapter 156: Birthday Gift
With the help of Mama Rong, Xiao'er's family saluted the ladies present according to the rules and ranks. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
He also accepted the salute of some ladies and ladies who were of lower rank than himself.
Everyone present is not curious about the family members of the Shengping Marquis Mansion, it is fake, and everyone is staring at what kind of congratulatory gifts the Shengping Marquis Mansion has come up with.
I heard that some time ago, the old lady and the second lady of the Shengping Hou Mansion went to Buzhuang and Yinlou to buy a few thousand taels of things, and asked people to send them to the Hou Pinghou Mansion to settle the bill, and the Shengping Hou could only mortgage the Imperial Mansion to pay the bill. Even the Imperial Mansion dared to take out the mortgage, who didn't offer the imperial gift as a treasure, it was really no knowledge at all, and it was a shame to lose face.
However, those relatives of the Shengping Hou family are also faceless, and when they are guests in other people's houses, they actually have to count the purchases on other people's heads. The mud leg is the mud leg background, and there is no etiquette and shame at all!
Now no family in the imperial capital can even take out 10,000 taels or thousands. So everyone here knows that the Shengping Marquis Mansion is very poor. In such a poor mansion, what kind of birthday gift can be offered, cabbage, eggs, or a little better, maybe a sheep.
Someone couldn't help but chuckle out loud at the thought of this.
Liu took the brocade box in Jasmine's hand and handed it over in person, "This is a small gift prepared by our family, I hope the old lady will accept it, and bless the old lady with happiness like the East China Sea, and longevity than Nanshan." ”
The box has a good appearance, but I don't know what it contains, whether it is a false appearance, everyone thought.
The old lady knows the origin of her grandson and the Shengping Marquis Mansion, and she also knows a little about their family, and the congratulatory gift that her grandson gave her last year was bought from them, so she will not despise this gift, she also knows that even if it is a cabbage, it must be unusual, and it may not be possible to buy it with silver.
She has eaten the high-quality food from Shengping Hou's family, which is simply unstoppable, and she found that she has eaten a lot of their high-quality things, and the old physical problems have not occurred for a long time, so if she really sends cabbage, she is also happy.
The old lady smiled and took the gift box and opened it.
A thousand-year-old ginseng lies quietly on a red flannel.
Suddenly, several inhalations sounded in the silent room.
The old lady was also stunned when she looked at the thick human-shaped wild ginseng.
"How old is this ginseng, it can't be thousands of years, right?" said the Duchess uncertainly.
"It's a thousand-year-old ginseng! I've seen one similar to this one from the queen!" the prime minister's wife said affirmatively, and then glanced enviously at the old lady of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion.
The old lady came back to her senses and glanced at the Liu family, how many thousand-year-old ginseng did she have?
I heard from my grandson that the thousand-year-old ginseng that the six princes gave to the queen was also bought from their family.
"It's too precious. ”
Is it really a thousand-year-old ginseng? This kind of precious medicinal material that has no price in the market, who doesn't collect it as a treasure of the town! Who is willing to give away this kind of life-saving medicinal material! After all, when it is time to use it, there is nowhere to find it if you want to buy it!
The lady here, I have seen a lot of ginseng in a hundred years, but not many people have seen it in a thousand years. If it weren't for the fact that what you are asking for is related to your family's life, no one would be willing to give away precious medicinal materials such as thousand-year-old ginseng and thousand-year-old reishi as birthday gifts.
Are the people of the Shengping Hou Mansion stupid, or do they really have no money to buy a decent gift? No, if you sell this ginseng, there are not 10,000 but 8,000 taels, how can you buy a congratulatory gift without silver!
"It's good that Madame doesn't dislike it, it's all dug in the mountains, and it's just a little effort, it can't be considered valuable, and there is still one at home. Liu said with a smile.
Liu deliberately said that there are thousands of years of ginseng at home, which is also taught by Xiao'er, she has so many medicinal materials in her space, and there are also a lot of medicinal materials planted at home, she is planning to open a wholesale shop for medicinal materials, and these people will definitely inquire after hearing it.
When the noble lady in the house heard this, her eyes widened! There was still one at home? If she had promised to dig one, she would dig one?
There is still one at home? None of the people here thought about it, and the other one is surprising enough! I don't know if Shengping Hou sells it or not? Some people's hearts are full of life.
No, we have to find out and send some masters to dig ginseng in the mountains there, not a thousand-year-old ginseng, and it's good to dig out a hundred-year-old ginseng, some people thought to themselves.
"Old lady, last time I promised Brother Di to dig a ginseng for him next time, I thought about giving it to Brother Di, and Brother Di must also be used to honor the old lady, so it should be Brother Di to honor the old lady. You must take it, or I will be a dishonest person." Xiao'er saw that the old lady was a little embarrassed to accept it, so she opened her mouth to persuade.
"You kid is too good at talking, you have a clever mouth, and when you say this, I don't accept it, but I trap you in injustice. The old lady pretended to be disgusted.
The old lady covered the box, put it on the table next to it, and said with a smile, "The hometown of Shengping Hou must be the place where Zhong Lingyu is beautiful." ”
It is only in the place where the aura between heaven and earth is condensed that so many thousand years of ginseng can be grown and such excellent people can be bred. Otherwise, her father-in-law would not have gone there every year to live for a while just to plant flowers and grass, saying that the climate in the imperial capital is not good, and many flowers are difficult to grow, and the climate there is very suitable. She thought he was not skilled.
She has heard a lot of things about their family from her grandson and grandson, has seen people, and has a lot of skills, and she will not underestimate them at all. However, how can a person who can teach a daughter who is a mother of the world, how can he look down on others because of their background.
"Look at Madame Shengpinghou, I heard that she is already the mother of five children, and you look at her skin, her waist, which is even better than when I was a girl! If she hadn't combed a woman's bun, I would have thought she was a girl! This must have come from a drunken place. Di Zhaowei's mother, Lu, and now the general's wife, saw that Xiao'er's family valued their son's words so much, and also praised them.
"But no, it's not a place with beautiful mountains and rivers and a compelling aura that can grow thousand-year-old ginseng and such a beautiful person! Mrs. Shengpinghou, do the people in your family often dig up ginseng? Do you still sell your ginseng?" Mrs. Shangshu also agreed.
"Mrs. General, don't say that I haven't noticed it, Mrs. Shengpinghou, your skin is really delicate, and there are no blemishes at all? It can't be that you have eaten too much ginseng for thousands of years, right? Do you sell that ginseng at home? I bought it for eight thousand taels!"
"I'm 10,000 taels!"
Xiao'er didn't want to turn someone's birthday banquet into a pharmacy scene, so she hurriedly said: "Don't worry, ladies, my family is going to open a medicinal herb shop, and if there is ginseng at that time, it will definitely be sold." ”
Everyone also reacted that the occasion was wrong, and they were busy changing the topic and began to talk about skin care and maintenance.
After a while, the news came that the queen had arrived.
Fade out said
I had a fever two days ago, and the whole person burned to the point that there was no pain in the whole body! Today I still have a low-grade fever, but my head doesn't hurt anymore, and my body doesn't hurt anymore, so I started to update. It's been two more days, I'm really sorry!
