Although she was dissatisfied with Yin's in her heart, Cui'er saw that Mrs. Lu looked respectful to Yin's, so she naturally didn't dare to be a little lazy, and immediately leaned over to roll up the bamboo mat and take it out to change.

Yin Shi walked to the desk and took a look, and saw a box of sandalwood and a box of agarwood on it, so he asked Mrs. Lu: "Is there only these two kinds of incense at home?" ”

Mrs. Lu knew that she wanted to talk about incense again, so she deliberately pretended not to hear it.

Yin Shi deliberately raised his voice and asked again, and Mrs. Lu replied with a smile: "There is still a little Su Hexiang and dipterocarp, but the sum should not be enough for one night." ”

"As a scholarly family, how can incense be missing?" Yin said with a frown.

"I've placed an order for someone to buy it, and I'll be able to buy it back tomorrow." Mrs. Lu said.

"I don't like these four kinds of incense, he likes dragon incense." Yin said to Mrs. Lu.

Mrs. Lu's mouth suddenly opened wide when she heard this.

Dragon birthday incense, that's nearly three hundred taels of silver to buy a box!

Yin Shi smiled and said: "The old man is more angry, and it is not suitable to use agarwood." Although sandalwood is not harmful to his body, he has never liked to smell it, so he can't use it. And Suhexiang and dipterocarp have a slightly pungent taste, which is not suitable for evening ordering. ”

Mrs. Lu sighed in her heart.

Seeing that Yin Shi was staring at herself, she knew that she wanted to express her position, so she forced a smile and said: "Then I will send someone to the market tomorrow to ask, Long Yanxiang is a tight hand, and I don't know if I can buy it." ”

Yin smiled and said, "Well, then we'll use sandalwood tonight." ”

Mrs. Lu's face was already very ugly. So I didn't want to stay with her longer, so I hurriedly found a reason to walk out.

Seeing that Mrs. Lu was gone, Na Cui'er also hurriedly bent her knees at the Yin clan and followed Mrs. Lu away.

After passing through the open space in front of the door of the back cover room, Mrs. Lu whispered to Cui'er, "You tell Uncle Zhang to come to the master's study to see me." ”

"Yes." Cui'er hurriedly trotted away.

After a while, Uncle Zhang, who was in charge of procurement, knocked on the door and came in.

"Madame, are you looking for me?" Uncle Zhang asked respectfully.

"Tomorrow, when you go shopping, go to the shops that sell incense on Hongxiang Street, and if you see someone selling Long Yanxiang, buy me a box and come back." Mrs. Lu said.

"Madam, those small shops that sell incense often go, I have never seen anyone selling Long Yanxiang, do you want to go elsewhere to see the small ones?"

Mrs. Lu pondered for a moment and said, "No. You just go to those places and see them. When you come back, find a time when both me and Inshi are present to report back to me. ”

"Yes." Uncle Zhang hurriedly responded.

"What is the approximate price of Long Yanxiang on the market today?" Mrs. Lu asked again.

"Mrs. Hui, at least eighty or ninety taels of silver will cost one tael." Uncle Zhang replied.

"Generally, a box is five taels, so I'll advance four hundred and fifty taels of silver to you first." Mrs. Lu said.

With that, Mrs. Lu went into the inner room to get the silver.

When she handed over a bag of silver to Uncle Zhang, her heart was very distressed. But she still tried her best to show the demeanor of a hostess.

Uncle Zhang also knows that Long Yanxiang is a rare and valuable commodity. Therefore, I don't dare to be sloppy. Lian Lian assured Mrs. Lu: "If the little ones are met in the incense shop on Hongxiang Street, they will definitely ask them for a discount." ”

"Uh-huh. Go ahead. Mrs. Lu waved her hand at him.

That night, after lying down, Mrs. Lu couldn't help but complain to Yan Yunpei about this matter.

"To put it mildly, I think it's a bit embarrassing for her to ask." Mrs. Lu said.

Although Yan Yunpei also felt that Yin's request was too much. But when he thought that it was his brother and sister-in-law, he didn't want to think too much about it, so he smiled and said, "You have prejudices about this, maybe they really like this kind of incense." ”

"Okay, then follow your inference, it is said that one or two ambergris incense on the market are now sold for eighty or ninety taels of silver, except for the emperor and a few people who have a unique habit of incense, who is willing to spend such money? If they have a soft spot for this incense, it will certainly cost a lot of money. But this kind of money is not something we can afford. Mrs. Lu continued.

"It's really expensive, so we'll only buy one box at most." Yan Yunpei said.

"A box is only four or five taels, how many days can it last? It will take at least half a year for their new house to be renovated and occupied, right? Mrs. Lu reminded.

"Anyway, we're only going to give them this box, and then they'll have to pay for it themselves."

"And how did I get this opening?" Mrs. Lu's eyes were red with distress.

"If it gets to that point, let me speak." Yan Yunpei said.

"It's even harder for you to open this mouth." Mrs. Lu said.

"I'm going to do the same for you and this family." Yan Yunpei patted the back of her hand and said.

Mrs. Lu felt a little better at this time.

The next day, Mrs. Lu got up early to arrange the family's breakfast.

Because of the long exertion, Yin slept until the sun was high.

Mrs. Lu hurriedly asked someone to heat up the meal.

Yin Shi looked at the table and saw that it was jujube cake, steamed buns, steamed sweet potatoes, corn soup and egg cakes, so he asked, "Don't you eat some meat for breakfast?" ”

"Everyone in my family likes to eat pastries, so I don't make any meat. If you like it, I'll make some meat tomorrow. Mrs. Lu said busily.

Yin snorted, and then said, "It doesn't matter what I eat, but the old man likes to eat spicy shredded pork noodles and beef ramen for breakfast, and he should be happy if I can make him one of them in the morning." ”

Mrs. Lu couldn't help but snort coldly in her heart.

"Your chef here probably also makes spicy shredded pork noodles and beef ramen, right? The preparation of these two foods is very simple. Yin Shi looked at Mrs. Lu with a reluctant face and said.

"I guess, I don't know, I'll let them try it tomorrow." Mrs. Lu forced out a smile and said.

"Mmmm, I've had lower back pain these days. So I may not be able to get up early, but after a few days I feel better, I'll get up and do it. Yin said.

That's best, Mrs. Lu said in her heart, so she smiled and nodded at her.

While the two were talking, Uncle Zhang trotted in and said to Mrs. Lu: "Mrs. Hui, the little one walked all over the shops selling incense on Hongxiang Street and didn't find anyone selling Long Yanxiang. ”

Mrs. Lu's heart was relieved, but she still asked silently on her face: "Didn't you go somewhere else to ask?" Mrs. Lu asked as she glanced at Uncle Zhang.

Uncle Zhang understood and hurriedly said: "Later, the little one ran several streets to ask, but he didn't find it." With that, he returned the silver taels to Mrs. Lu.

"This dragon incense is not easy to buy, I'm afraid I have to wronged you to continue to use sandalwood." Mrs. Lu said to Yin.

Yin Shi put the last spoonful of corn custard in his mouth and said, "It's really strange that this capital is so hard to buy." In our Sichuan side, you can buy it in any big city. ”

"Why don't you write to Jinchun and Jinqiu to send you some mail?" Mrs. Lu took advantage of the situation and said.

Inshi immediately understood what she meant. He nodded uncomfortably.

That night, Mrs. Lu said to Yan Yunpei: "Long Yanxiang didn't buy it. ”

"Oh, it's not surprising that you can't buy it." Yan Yunpei said with a smile.

After all, most people are reluctant to buy that thing, so sellers naturally won't buy it easily.

Mrs. Lu then said, "Your sister-in-law said that your eldest brother likes to eat spicy shredded pork noodles and beef ramen for breakfast. So I'll have the kitchen do some tomorrow morning. Would you like a bowl too? ”

"Don't. I don't like to eat meat early in the morning. Yan Yunpei said.

"Oh."

After a while, Mrs. Lu couldn't help but say, "Your sister-in-law said that Longjing tea is not delicious, let me call someone to buy some black tea and green tea tomorrow." ”

"Then buy some and come back."

"It's so demanding to be a guest at someone else's house." Mrs. Lu muttered.

"She's your sister-in-law. Don't worry about her. ”

Mrs. Lu sighed and nodded.

"It is said that she grew up under the pampering of her father and six older brothers, so her personality will inevitably be more perverse." Yan Yunpei added.

"Oh." Mrs. Lu replied.

After a while, Mrs. Lu spoke again: "Master, should we invite Xu Qingqing to come when the second child gets married?" ”

It's something she thinks about during the day.

They have never told Yan Dingpei's family about the matter between the third child and Xu Qingqing, so Yan Dingpei doesn't know that the third child has a posthumous son.

Now Yan Dingpei is about to settle in the capital, but Mrs. Lu doesn't really want him to know about it.

After all, it's not a glorious thing.

But in her heart, she regarded Xu Qingqing as her daughter-in-law, so she felt a little reluctant not to invite her. But what is the reason for inviting her?

"I'm glad you reminded me, otherwise I wouldn't have thought of it." Yan Yunpei said, and thought about it seriously.

After a while, Yan Yunpei said: "Don't invite it, just send her some wedding cakes and candy at that time." ”

After all, the Yan family is a big family, and if this kind of thing spreads, it won't be good.

"Okay." Although she was a little reluctant to go, Mrs. Lu still agreed with her husband's decision.

"Then why don't we invite them over for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner this year?" Mrs. Lu proposed.

During the Chinese New Year, every family has their own way, and others don't pay much attention to it, but it is a good opportunity to get together.

"Well, that's a good idea, I'll tell her when the year is approaching. But then my eldest brother and sister-in-law may see something. ”

Yan Dingpei must still be living here at that time.

"If you see it, you can see it, this kind of thing can be hidden from outsiders, but it can't be hidden from your family." Mrs. Lu said.

"Yes. Okay, let's do it, it's not too early, go to bed. Yan Yunpei said, blowing out the candle.

Yan Yunpei soon fell asleep, but Mrs. Lu kept thinking about Xu Mianzhi.

I don't know how much taller this child has grown now.

She hadn't seen him for more than half a year.

The next day, Mrs. Lu wrapped a copy of the purple sweet potato cake, baked cake, jujube cake, and osmanthus cake and packed it in a large food box.

"You have someone hand it over to Xu Qingqing." Mrs. Lu whispered in Yan Yunpei's ear.

Yan Yunpei glanced at her with emotion, nodded and said, "Hmm." (To be continued......)
