Then he glanced Yang Congyi up and down several times, and then pulled Yun Niang's hand and said with a smile: "Yun Niang, let's go in and talk." ”

With that, the two walked hand in hand towards the house.

Yang Congyi slowly followed the two into the gate of the Gong Mansion.

After passing through the two doors and entering the living room, Sister Meng Yunniang sat down next to each other to catch up.

Yang Congyi sat alone and couldn't interject, this time it was somewhat embarrassing for him, so he could only hold a teacup and take a sip from time to time.

"Yun Niang, when did you get married? Why haven't I heard even a little bit? Mrs. Gong is still haunted by this.

"Sister, don't ask, don't you know now!" At that time, the marriage was too hasty, and Meng Yunniang really didn't know what to say, and she couldn't open this mouth.

"I'm your eldest sister, I hugged you for two years when you only knew how to cry, and I didn't tell me about such a big thing as getting married out of the cabinet, and I got married quietly, what do you think of me, I think I'm big in Lin'an, and my sister's cabinet can be ignored!" Mrs. Gong looked like an elder, and began to teach as she spoke.

Meng Yunniang's expression changed slightly, and she lowered her eyes and was silent.

"On the day you left the pavilion, did your second sister go back?"

After a moment of silence, Mrs. Gong turned her head and asked in a cold voice.

"No, there was no banquet for guests that day, no one was invited, so a family banquet was held." Meng Yunniang replied in a low voice.

"Family dinner? Out of the cabinet for such a big thing, a family banquet was held? Is Dad Fu confused at home? When Mrs. Gong heard this, she was so angry that she jumped up.

"Sister, this is my idea!" Meng Yunniang's voice raised, and the volume was a few points higher than before.

"You ......" Mrs. Gong was speechless for a while, looking at the other party and glaring.

"Forget it, you're so old and married, and I'm still talking about what you do." Mrs. Gong exhaled the sullen in her heart in disappointment.

Meng Yunniang lowered her eyes and was silent, like a child who made a mistake and didn't admit it.

"Where did you come from this time to come to see me?" Mrs. Gong's tone was much calmer.

"My husband and I came from Quanzhou, and I also have some things to do in Lin'an, I remember that my sister is in Lin'an, so I stopped by to have a look." The pressure in Meng Yunniang's heart was slightly lighter.

"You still remember that your sister was in Lin'an, and it's not in vain that your sister loved you so much when you were a child." Mrs. Gong said, and then asked, "What does my sister-in-law do?" came all the way from Quanzhou, and brought my sister with me, this road was bumpy and suffered a lot, right? ”

Meng Yunniang hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, we came by boat, and the boat was very stable, not bumpy at all." After speaking, he turned his head and said, "Husband, you tell my sister what you do, I can't tell me." ”

Finally it was Yang Congyi's turn to speak, I saw him quickly put down the teacup in his hand, and said to Mrs. Gong with a slight smile: "Sister Hui, Cong Yi works for the imperial court, and is now leading the fleet to go to sea, go to the South Seas and the West to do Huiyi, make money for the imperial court, and serve in Huiyi." ”

Mrs. Gong frowned slightly, as if she didn't like it.

"Shinong Gongshang, so my sister-in-law is in business?"

"Yes, it's in business. In recent years, the treasury has been empty, and the imperial court has no choice but to return to the treasury through business and exchange for some rare treasures from overseas. This time he returned to Lin'an, and he also returned to the imperial court. ”

Yang Congyi could see from the other party's expression and tone that Meng Yunniang's eldest sister looked down on businessmen, and she wanted to reveal her identity to show that he was not a simple businessman, but an official of the imperial court.

Who knew that Mrs. Gong said: "I advise my sister-in-law not to do a return to Yi, it really can't work, find some connections and transfer jobs, it is better to do business anywhere." ”

"Sister, it's actually quite fun to go to sea and return to Yi, I've been to many overseas countries in the past two years, and it's too different from the Great Song Dynasty outside. I also brought good things for my sister to make sure she liked it. ”

As soon as Meng Yunniang saw that her sister was going to teach her husband a lesson as an elder, she immediately interrupted, took out a small bottle, and opened it in front of her.

In an instant, a special fragrance appeared in the living room, attracting Mrs. Gong's attention.

"What is this?" Mrs. Gong involuntarily twitched slightly.

"This is a perfume brought back from the country of Fatila, tens of thousands of miles away, extracted from fresh flower petals, and it smells very good." Meng Yunniang said and handed over the vial in her hand.

Mrs. Gong took the letter carefully, put it under her nose, and inhaled it gently, and suddenly felt relaxed and comfortable.

"No wonder I just noticed that you have a very strange smell, it turns out to be the fragrance of flowers."

"I like the light scent, the kind that is absent, it's so strong that I can't stand it. Sister, if you look at this again, it tastes very good. Meng Yunniang said and handed over another vial.

"Well, it smells so good! It's a good thing, I don't think I've ever seen it in Lin'an. Mrs. Gong opened the bottle, and another fragrance instantly wafted out.

"We have only returned to Lin'an not long ago, and it is estimated that among the daughters in Lin'an City, my sister is the first to get this perfume!" Speaking of perfume, Meng Yunniang finally had a smile on her face.

"Really? That sister is really lucky. Mrs. Gong sniffed it a few more times, then asked, "How do you use this perfume?" ”

"You can apply it to your body, or on your clothes, and you can put a few drops in water when you take a bath." As soon as the words came out, he suddenly realized that Yang Congyi was also in the hall, and his face immediately turned red.

Mrs. Gong also immediately noticed that something was wrong, so she had to cough dryly, raised her eyes and found that Yang Congyi was just drinking tea, and there was nothing unusual, so she said: "Yun Niang, this bottle is so small, and there is not much perfume in it, it won't take long, right?" ”

"What my sister said is that such a small bottle really can't hold much, and if you use it every day, it will be gone in a month. However, it is not good to use the same flavor every day, and you can use it for a long time if you use a few different scents. Look, sister, there's still one here! I specially selected them for my sister. ”

As Meng Yunniang spoke, she put a few vials on the table.

Mrs. Gong saw the three new vials on the table, her eyes lit up, and she immediately smiled: "Yun Niang is really attentive, and it is not in vain that my sister loved you so much when she was a child, and she kept anything delicious for you." ”

After speaking, he reached out and took a few bottles one by one, and smelled their tastes.

"These taste good, if my sister likes it, I'll send a box to my sister when I go back." As Meng Yunniang spoke, she turned her head and glanced at Yang Congyi, and the smile on her face was not hidden.

Yang Congyi smiled slightly, nodded slightly, and didn't say much.

It's just a case of perfume, it's nothing, and you can afford to send it back to the place.

"I like it, Yun Niang gave it to me, I like it all! But these perfumes aren't cheap, are they? Mrs. Gong couldn't put down the perfume she received, and her face was as happy as a peach blossom.

"As long as my sister likes it, no matter how precious it is, it's nothing." Meng Yunniang was also very happy, and a few bottles of perfume moved her eldest sister who liked to count her, which made her feel very surprised and happy.

"Yun Niang, how long do you want to stay in Lin'an? It's not suitable to live outside, just live here with my sister, I ordered, let someone clean up your room. Madame Gong suddenly realized that they were not carrying luggage parcels, and they were not carrying anything other than gifts.

"No, I live with my husband in Huiyi, there is a place to live there, and it is not far from my sister, so I will have more time to find my sister in the future. As for how long I will stay in Lin'an, I don't know, anyway, wherever my husband goes, I will follow him. ”

Meng Yunniang said, turning her head and glancing at Yang Congyi.

Yang Congyi immediately replied: "If the imperial court has no other sends, it is estimated that they will stay in Lin'an for a while, and they will not leave Lin'an until this errand is completed." ”

"I just heard my sister-in-law say, didn't you come back to Lin'an to recover your life, you shouldn't stay long, I haven't seen Yun Niang for many years, let her stay with me for a while, and come to pick her up when you want to leave, how about it?"

Mrs. Gong looked at Yang Congyi and Meng Yunniang, and she could see from her eyes that she really wanted Yun Niang to stay.

"Sister, in addition to returning to Lin'an, there are a lot of things to do, this time I brought back a lot of perfume and spices from overseas, I have to find a way to dispose of it, this time I came to see my sister, I want to ask my sister for a favor, my sister has been in Lin'an City for so many years, I must know a lot of daughters, I want to ask my sister to recommend the perfume and spices we brought back, and when this thing is done, Yun Niang will have more time to accompany my sister. Before that, I had to accompany my husband, after all, these are all women's things, and they can't handle them themselves. ”

Meng Yunniang seized the opportunity to lead the conversation over and hurriedly explained the real intention.

"Recommend this perfume to them? It's easy to do, I'll ask them over another day, and as long as they smell it once, I'm sure they'll like it. Mrs. Gong stroked the small bottle full of perfume in her hand with a relaxed and casual expression.

But then he remembered something, and immediately asked, "I want to ask, how much do you sell this small bottle of perfume?" ”

Meng Yunniang turned her head and glanced at her husband, only to hear Yang Congyi reply: "These perfumes are brought back from a foreign land tens of thousands of miles away, the distance is far away, and they are all extracted from fresh petals, it is not easy to make, plus there are some perfume raw materials are very few, so the price will be more expensive, the average price of each bottle of perfume is about 100 yuan, some flavors, frankincense are more rare, and the price is more expensive." ”

"One hundred! It's also too expensive! Mrs. Gong looked at the small bottle in her hand, couldn't believe her ears, and raised her eyes to ask Yun Niang for confirmation.

"Sister, this perfume is not cheap, it is a very rare thing in Fatila, and not everyone can afford it, it is not easy to bring it back from such a distance, and the price is no matter how low it is." Meng Yunniang chuckled and persuaded.

"You, with your sister-in-law, are about to become profiteers." Mrs. Gong sighed.

But no matter how expensive the perfume is, it has nothing to do with her, anyway, these perfumes in her hand, Yun Niang can't ask her for money!
