515 fruit bowl

I don't know who it was, but let out a long, slight sigh. "Words * love * first * hair" "words * love * first * hair."

All the ladies in the warm hall came back to their senses, and when they saw a white and pleasing boy with a silver plate coming over from the troupe, they smiled reads(); The transformation of the Valkyrie in the last days.

"No wonder my sister-in-law, a person who never likes excitement and trouble, would hold this church meeting." Lord Mingjia was the first to open his mouth and praise: "The play is good, and the singing is good." It's been a long time since I've listened to a play so completely. ”

"Thank you, ma'am, for liking."

The boy happily walked up to the county lord of Mingjia and knelt down to thank him, and the county lord of Mingjia threw a silver ingot into the silver plate he was carrying, and estimated that it was about ten taels. The boy thanked him again with joy.

The lord of Mingjia County took the lead, and Mrs. Weiwuhou followed, and also rewarded a silver ingot. Several young women all appreciated the same thoughts, and finally arrived at Shen Rouning, today's master, she motioned to Hongying to pour a lot of round silver beans on the tray held by the boy, she couldn't see how many, and said with a smile: "Singing very well." ”

The boy took the plate, which was already much heavier, and thanked it with joy.

The maids carried a white porcelain plate, in which were placed beautiful pieces, cut into small pieces just enough to eat, colorful, at a glance you knew that there were several kinds, bright and mouth-watering.

"Huh?" Lord Mingjia suddenly became curious: "When did my sister-in-law hide good things, I don't even know?" There are even fruits I don't know! Sister-in-law, it's fruit, right? ”

She is the lord of the dynasty, and her status is more noble, even more than the two princesses. In the whole Daqing, there are fruits she doesn't know, how can she not be surprised!

"Of course it's all fruit." Shen Rouning smiled and said, "There are a few that were only shipped from the south, and because they are not easy to preserve, they are not sold outside yet." She pointed to a pale yellow pebble chunk of fruit. "This is pineapple dense, it tastes very good; This mango is very fragrant; This is dragon fruit, very sweet and delicious...... "The rest are all known by the women here, but they are difficult to see in the depths of winter at this time, such as sheep peach." Honeydew. Melon......

A bowl of cherries.

The girls tasted them one by one with great interest and were full of praise.

"Just for these fruits, it's worth my trip today." Chen Yujie wiped her lips. Said: "Sister-in-law, I like this dragon fruit the most, I want to take some back when I leave...... You can't do without it, right? ”

"Let people run into it, how dare you be missing." Shen Rouning saw Chen Houyun come out of this fruit bowl last night. I was also very surprised, facing a few baskets that had just been delivered. It's a long way to learn. I will take it out for everyone today, and I will definitely give some to them when I leave.

"Did the Nanyang Trading Company bring it back?" Grandma Qin San asked, "We haven't seen these kinds in the house yet." ”

Shen Rouning shook her head and said, "I heard that it took a small merchant a lot of effort to get a boat back, and the distance is far away. The wind and waves were bumpy, and half of the ship had been broken down when it arrived in Beijing...... Don't look beautiful when cut out now, but in fact, these fruits are a little ugly and hideous in appearance. And the little businessman came to Beijing from other places. There is no good way, and the cost will be high after counting the freight discount. When it was sold in the south market, the price was so high that it didn't sell much for a long time. Later, he was touched by his husband, and when he saw the strangeness, he bought it all. ”

The little merchant wasn't very clever either.

Most of the people in Nanshi are ordinary people, who can buy three or five taels of silver a pound of fruit. Moreover, this fruit grows very strangely. In the eyes of ordinary people, they may still suspect that they are poisonous and cannot be eaten......

"It seems that my brother-in-law is about to faint because of the joy of the fourth sister, right?" Concubine Qing seemed to have a sisterly joke with Shen Rouning because of her close relationship, and asked: "That little merchant is so reluctant to sell, I think the fourth brother-in-law will have to spend a lot of money reads(); Professor, you look at my ....... ”

Shen Rou smiled and shook her head, not explaining anything on this point.

I don't know how many rich families there are in the whole capital. It is these people here, except for Grandma Chen San, who does not have much privacy, I am afraid that the silver that everyone can dispose of in their pockets is much more than the silver in the princess's mansion.

People who are not bad for money, for a bite of precious and rare delicacy, spend a lot of money, what can be counted!

It's not that I can't afford to eat!

Shen Rouning made a gesture, and the maids brought over baskets of various fruits. When the girls looked at it, they really looked very bad and weird. Hongying took a knife and walked away from them and began to demonstrate how to peel the skin, and Shen Rouning occasionally explained a few words.

At this time, Shen Duanrong came to the outside of the hall and asked people to come in to report.

Shen Rouning beckoned him in.

Everyone present, regardless of their relationship, is a married woman, so there is no need to be too evasive. Moreover, Shen Duanrong just said hello and left, and did not stay long.

Being watched by so many women, Shen Duanrong's face turned a little red, and after Shen Rouning guided the next person to see everyone one by one, he hurriedly left again after meeting the request of Grandma Qi and Concubine Qing to let him have time to come to the door.

"Fourth sister, did the sixth brother come back this time with the intention of seeing each other in the capital?" Concubine Qing asked casually.

Shen Rouning shook her head: "He's still young, he can't achieve anything, and it's still very early to start a family." I came back this time because my father felt that he had had enough fun over the years, and it was time to go back to Beijing to study quietly. ”

"Why, the sixth brother hasn't studied much since he followed the fourth uncle?" Concubine Qing was a little surprised.

Shen Rouning nodded: "It is said that the daily schoolwork is very relaxed, and my father has not had high requirements for him over the years." And studying for the imperial examination is obviously impossible without hard work. I went to the academy in the spring, and I don't know if I can endure the hardships. ”

Concubine Qing's eyes were a little disapproving, and she asked again: "Fourth Uncle is still thinking about leveling up, isn't he ready to be promoted?" I've grown so big, and I've seen him so much if I don't want to be promoted......"

Shen Rouning replied: "Everyone has their own needs. We are juniors, and we just want them to be happy. ”

After a piano sound, the cymbal sounded again, and everyone's eyes looked over to the stage.

Concubine Qing and Concubine Lan excused themselves and walked out.

"It's just that if you're pregnant, it's a congregation and a fruit." Concubine Qing's face was a little ugly, and she said, "It's as if she has money to spend!" ”

"Sister, fourth sister, she really can't spend enough money, and she will only be happy in five years, this kind of big joy, it's not too much to celebrate." Concubine Lan persuaded in a low voice.

Concubine Qing wanted to open her mouth to say something, but in the end she closed her mouth, and her eyes showed a trace of jealousy and unwillingness.

No one knew that the small merchant who sold fruits had met her before Chen Houyun. She suddenly wanted to go out for a walk that day, and because of her status, she was in an inconspicuous carriage without signs, and because of the little merchant's early country accent, she was attracted to see the fruit he sold...... But when people asked, it was three taels of silver a catty, and she thought that the person was blackmailing, so she didn't buy it!

Speaking of which, it's not because she doesn't have enough money for her to squander that she is reluctant to spend it for various reasons! (To be continued.) )
