Chapter 500
readx;?, but said that Shi Xiangyun held a banquet in Jiyue Garden and invited female relatives in Beijing to taste the seafood "cocoa tea" from abroad. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info because she also led a relative from the south, Liu Yunxi, the cousin of the second grandmother of Rongguo Mansion, many people thought that it was this one who was important today. When the banquet was in earnest, the maids rushed in and came up with cocoa tea. This tea is fragrant, sweet and delicious, and there is no female dependent who does not fall in love immediately, and they have tasted it carefully and explored where it is sold.
Shi Xiangyun said with a smile: "It's good to eat some, don't ask a lot." There is no place to buy money. β
At the banquet, there was her aunt, Mrs. Baolinghou, and said angrily: "Yun girl, there are so many wives and grandmothers, don't beat around the corner." β
Shi Xiangyun said: "At the moment, the Beijing Central Committee has not sold it yet." said that Jingzhong is not sold even in Lingnan. Nai glanced at Liu Yunxi. Everyone looked towards Liu Yunxi; Liu Yunxi smiled slightly, generously tight. Shi Xiangyun continued, "Let's see if there are any goods in Beijing at the end of the year." β
Mrs. Baolinghou hurriedly asked, "What is the origin of this tea?" β
Shi Xiangyun said: "It's really interesting to say. This thing is native to Central and South America, and was brought to Java by Western ships for cultivation a hundred years ago. Until a few years ago, some maritime merchants brought some to the Qiongzhou area of Lingnan. There is a woman named Zhou Xiaolan in Qiongzhou, who is about the same age as me, and she is strong in martial arts. Occasionally, I tasted this tea, and I suddenly fell in love with it, and I couldn't live a day without it. It's just that Java is far overseas, and most of the cocoa tea produced is sold to the West, not to our dynasty. β
A lady at the bottom asked, "Why don't you sell me?" Don't we give them money? β
Shi Xiangyun said: "Because Westerners also love this very much, Java can't supply it." After all, people bought it first. β
Another grandmother said, "It's such a good tea, why not give more money?" β
Shi Xiangyun said: "Are Westerners poor? Offering a high price is not a symptom but not a cure. "I said that Zhou Xiaolan captured Java as the empress, and there was a gasp below." It's only been a few years of fighting, and no one takes care of the cocoa tree. It also takes a lot of effort to wait for the newly knotted cocoa beans to grow and then cook them into cocoa tea. Fortunately, ......," Shi Xiangyun smiled, "In the future, this goods will be given priority to my maritime merchants." β
Mrs. Baolinghou exclaimed: "This woman has defeated the country of output for the sake of ideas? Shi Xiangyun nodded with a smile. The wives and grandmothers looked at each other and marveled.
Shi Xiangyun continued: "This tea not only tastes sweet, but also refreshes the mind. Only so much is produced every year, so why bother to cheapen Westerners? β
The county lord of King Yan's mansion couldn't help but praise it: "Although it is for eating sketches, it shows the style of my big country." The girl was so energetic that week. Everyone listened and praised Miss Zhou as a heroine. The county lord took another sip of cocoa tea and asked, "I've heard about Zhou Xiaolan's occupation of Java, but I never thought that she was doing it for this reason." So, when will Jingzhong be listed? β
Shi Xiangyun said: "This is just shipped, give everyone a try; I heard that the first batch of goods could be more, but it was not enough to sell, so I ordered them all by Lord Wang Ziteng. Wait, the county lord waits, this thing will be indispensable in the New Year's gift sent by Lingnan. Bulk goods will be on sale around the beginning of next year. The county lord bowed slightly.
All the wives and grandmothers secretly took a breath. Even if it can be listed early next year, this thing is rare, and I am afraid that there are not many goods; There's nothing here that you don't want to buy. The price of good tea is not low. Listening to Shi Xiangyun's meaning, most of this seafood business will fall into the hands of Wang Ziteng. couldn't help but peek at Liu Yunxi again - she was the daughter of Wang Ziteng's brother-in-law, and their family was no less close to the Wang family than Rongguo Mansion.
Aunt Niu secretly looked at everyone's expressions. At first, she was reluctant to inquire about this woman for her brother, but she was faintly glad in her heart: her brother has a good eye! Fortunately, others only casually talked to this Miss Liu; Aunt Niu originally came for her, and she was already familiar with her. Nai lowered his head and thought for a moment: it is better to strike first.
The seat was dispersed for a while, and while Liu Yunxi let people talk around him, Aunt Niu quietly looked for Shi Xiangyun and said: "I have a tight relationship with that girl in Yunxi." I wonder if she can promise someone? β
Shi Xiangyunqi said: "Isn't your son still young? β
Aunt Niu said in a low voice: "My brother's daughter-in-law is just gone." Nai sighed, "It's fate to encounter such a thing, and you have to live a good life, right?" Yunxi guarded the widow, and the two of them were a good match. β
Shi Xiangyun hesitated for a moment and said, "Didn't you say that you haven't found the body yet?" What if Grandma Niu didn't die and was rescued by the people in the mountains? β
Aunt Niu smiled bitterly: "The piece where she had an accident is extremely steep and high, even if she is a man in the prime of life, she can't live, not to mention that there were wolves that day." β
Shi Xiangyun pursed his lips and said, "I can't be the master of this matter, I have to discuss it with our brother Cong." It turned out that he was entrusted by his uncle to lead Miss Liu to Beijing. Aunt Niu nodded knowingly. After a while, Shi Xiangyun said again, "Brother Cong is verbose, I'm afraid I want to ask Second Master Niu something." Grandma Niu nodded with a smile.
Two days later, Niu Jicheng, the second master of Zhenguo Mansion, handed over the film to Rongguo Mansion to see Jia Cong. Jia Cong sat in Lixiangyuan and waited for a long time, when he heard that Menzi was coming, he straightened his clothes and asked, "What else do you want to know?" β
Mu Shi naturally did not die, and sat beside him in the clothes of a small servant. After a while, he said, "There is nothing more." Chen Ruijin stood up and pulled her away.
When he arrived behind the big screen, he was silent for a moment, and then he sighed in a low voice: "That Miss Liu really looks like me." β
Jia Cong said outside: "It's not necessarily because of that. Although you are married to her, you hide someone else in your heart, and subconsciously refuse to seduce him; Miss Liu had the intention of hooking up with him. Tell me the truth, don't mind you two ladies - in the past, when we gossip, we always say that a woman's heart should be exchanged for a heart, but in fact, a man's heart must also be exchanged for a sincere heart. β
Mu smiled apologetically: "In this section, I really don't live with him. β
Chen Ruijin said: "He wants a second grandmother; You have done everything that Grandma Niu should do, and there is nothing wrong with him. β
Jia Cong said again: "I can't help but say something for Niu Jicheng again." The education that the man received in this year was like that, and the Zhenguo Mansion had been in decline for a while for nearly two years before he got up, and he had no mind or effort to remember the inner courtyard. The requirements can't be too high, and it's not so easy to stand out under King Yan. β
Chen Ruijin said: "Liu Yunxi is virtuous, well-behaved, beautiful and has a good family background, he has the intention of hooking up with him, and he doesn't need to exchange his sincerity," or the fastest learned spy under his rival. "It's more suitable to be the second grandmother than the county lord. Seek benevolence and get benevolence, and everyone rejoices. Jia Cong, stop talking, people are coming soon. β
Jia Cong muttered, "Our house is so big, even if he is a Scud, he can't walk so fast." "But he was silent.
Not long after, Niu Jicheng came and sat with Jia Cong. Jia Cong said: "Brother Niu, my Jia San is a straight temper. Although Miss Liu has nothing to do with our family, after all, Uncle Wang entrusted me, and I have to be responsible. Brother Niu, you are young and talented, promising and promising, and your appearance and temperament are all bad. It's just that Grandma Niu has only been dead for more than half a month, isn't it too ruthless for you to start looking for a home so quickly. As the saying goes, a husband and wife are 100 days a day, and I heard my sister-in-law say that this second grandmother is quite good. β
Niu Jicheng's eyes were red
He said, "Death cannot be resurrected." At this point, I will keep her filial piety for a year. β
Jia Cong said: "Brother Niu, you didn't answer what you asked. I mean, you found the next home too quickly, and the bones of Grandma Niu are not cold. β
Niu Jicheng didn't know why: "I just said, keep filial piety for the Mu family for a year, why is it fast?" β
Jia Cong covered his face: "It was my mistake!" Chickens and ducks speak. Nai put down his hand, "Okay, don't blame me, I did my best." This section is over. In the past two days, my envoy has inquired, and I guessed wrong last time, Lord Lingtang did not favor your sister-in-law, but favored your daughter-in-law more. Brother Niu obviously doesn't plan to break up? β
Niu Jicheng said categorically: "The combined force is strong, and the division force is weak." It's so rare in our house, how can we split up? β
Jia Cong said: "It's just that right now you are much better than your brother, and your mother favors your daughter-in-law, isn't it good." In the end, Brother Ling Niu Jizong is the heir of Liguo Mansion. β
Niu Jicheng said with a smile: "Mr. Jia, rest assured, the last general will never have the heart to compete with his brother for the title." Next year, the prince will send me to fight in foreign countries, so that I can earn fame and come back. β
Jia Cong frowned and said, "You have to keep filial piety for a year, and you will go to war next year." Could it be that Miss Liu is holding a rooster and worshipping the church? β
Niu Jicheng was stunned: "After the battle, I'm afraid that I will stay abroad for a long time, so I naturally take my family over." β
Jia Cong's eyes lit up: "Did you really bring your family over?" Niu Jicheng nodded. Jia Cong high-fived, "Then it's no problem!" Your life in this room is **, even if something happens in the inner courtyard of the Zhenguo Mansion, it will not affect Miss Liu. Niu Jicheng closed his eyes.
Later, the two of them said hello, I am good, everyone is good for a long time, and Jia Cong suddenly said: "That's right." Isn't there a cow in your house? Who is older of the two of you? β
Niu Jicheng said: "Brother Ye is six years older than me. β
"Will he also go to attack North America next year?"
Niu Jicheng said: "The prince has this intention. β
Jia Cong touched the back of his head: "Brother Wei is also going." You two are brothers, you won't bully him when you go to North America. β
Niu Jicheng laughed: "Mr. Jia rest assured! The three of us are all comrades under the command of the prince, and we must put big things first. β
Jia Cong was a little embarrassed, and laughed dryly: "I'm a literati, but I don't have to worry about salty radishes." β
The two of them began to talk about North America. After discussing for a long time, Niu Jicheng said goodbye when he saw that the time was not early, and Jia Cong personally sent him to the gate of the hospital.
Turning back inside, Chen Ruijin and Mu both came out from behind the screen. Jia Cong said: "I understand something. What did Niu Ji become, and what endured Niu Jizong's daughter-in-law, Jiang. β
Chen Ruijin said: "Isn't it because his mother has a heart to calm people?" β
Jia Cong smiled and said, "You are hiding behind, and you can't see your demeanor after all." Niu Jicheng and I talked like this, and he was not in a hurry. Only when it comes to 'separation' is the answer is very fast. Later, when I mentioned Niu Jiye, he wrote all over his face, 'I am the boss, he is a horse boy', and he has no respect for his brother. β
Chen Ruijin said: "Outside, the Niu brothers are really in charge of him. β
Jia Cong said: "It is impossible for those who can lead the troops to be unassertive. Niu Jiye will listen to him, it's nothing more than the long room in the town and country mansion pressing the three rooms. Dividing the family will be beneficial to Niu Jiye, and it will be bad for Niu Jicheng. β
Chen Ruijin asked, "What does this have to do with the Jiang family?" β
Jia Cong said: "Where there are people, there must be rivers and lakes, and it is impossible for the family to have no fighting." If Niu Jicheng cares about Jiang's family, does Niu Jiye care about him? Generosity and forbearance are necessary to maintain family harmony. Niu Jicheng is both a beneficiary and a victim of the big family system, but the benefits outweigh the harms. After all, the outside is much more important than the inner courtβthe little thing outside is more important than the big thing in the inner court. He unconsciously stood on the position of maintaining the big family system. He glanced at Muhammad, "I wonder if the county lord can understand?" β
Mu said, "I can guess some." β
Chen Ruijin said: "Jia Cong's speech is not clear. The county lord also thought that if Niu Jicheng liquidated the matter with the Jiang family, he would have to distinguish between right and wrong. After all, the Jiang family is the eldest granddaughter-in-law of the Zhenguo Mansion, and you are dealing with her to be subordinate and superior, and you can't bear to let it go or suffer losses. If Niu Jiye of the third room hears about it, and he will also distinguish right from wrong with him in the future, the gain with him will outweigh the loss. Outside, he is the one who takes advantage, if he ...... in military merits" Chen Ruijin looked at her deeply.
Mu Shi suddenly said: "I see! I never thought about that. β
Jia Cong said: "Besides, although you have lost your son, Second Master Niu is not afraid of not having a son." There is no difference between what you give birth to and what you give birth to a concubine. β
Chen Ruijin hurriedly said: "It's different. The mother of the sister-in-law is good at upbringing, what does the concubine know about the room? β
Mu Shi smiled bitterly: "The concubine was originally raised in front of me. β
Jia Cong clapped his hands and said, "It turns out that you are still responsible for being their tutor, I don't know if the monthly money will rise." β
Mu shook his head and sighed, "That's it." I also understood that I didn't think about it anymore. β
Jia Cong clapped his hands again and said, "It's okay!" With that in mind, we can take the next step. β
Chen Ruijin said: "Do you want to go to the south?" β
"Heli!"
Chen Ruijin and Mu Shi glanced at each other, and Chen Ruijin said, "Isn't it already cheated to death?" β
Jia Cong said innocently: "Who said that he cheated to death?" Are there any corpses? Is there any evidence? How can a big living person die at the end of the day? Can't you be saved by the mountain people? Obviously, there is such a good identity as the lord of the palace, why not? β
The two women looked at each other again, and Mu said, "He'...... How to reconcile and divorce the wife and filial piety who have to keep it for a year? My father and king thought very highly of him. After he came out, he showed off his vision every day. β
Jia Cong snorted: "That's because you are too sensible and refuse to tell your family that your mother-in-law's family is not." Someone killed the fetus is such an important matter, do you know about it? What's more, the Jiang family even lost their titles, who would they retaliate against if they didn't retaliate against her? It is good to marry two surnames, and Niu Jicheng's concubine is not the grandson of the prince of Dongping. The lord of the three counties, it's not that there are no strange parents, and there will be fewer after all; Ordinary fathers and mothers love their daughters. I don't know about you, but I have seen your uncle and grandfather Mu Xu's old man in the past few days, and I really love you. β
Muhammad's eyes turned red: "Uncle and grandfather...... It really hurts me. It was in vain that he made his old man sad. Jia Cong and Chen Ruijin looked at each other: You can tell the old man.
They didn't expect that Mu Xu was as stable as Mount Tai on weekdays, looking like he was hidden in the city, and he would take his temper seriously. Three days later, Shi Li Pegasus rushed to Rongguo Mansion to report the news, and the corners of his mouth grinned: "Old Man Mu demolished the gate of Zhenguo Mansion!" β
