Chapter 059: Birthday Gift
I remember that Li Wenxuan, who sent an invitation that said that he could take his female dependents, thought that there was no limit to how many people he could bring, so he made a decision in his heart. Enjoying Zhao Tianer and Su Meiniang's massage for himself, he understood that they all wanted to open their eyes, see the world, and want to see what the county lord's family was like to celebrate their birthday, so the result of only taking one person will make the other person unhappy, and even complain about their partiality.
Su Meiniang, who was squatting on the ground and knocking his legs, said with a smile: "Wenxuan, have you decided whether to take me or Tian'er?" ”
Li Wenxuan, who had already made up his mind to take the two of them with him, said a small question in his heart and said, "It's not difficult to take you or Tian'er." The difficulty is that when you get there, you have to have an identity! I can't say that Tian'er is my family's former maid, and you are a widow in my house. ”
Su Meiniang, who felt that what he said was reasonable, firmly believed that the man who could attend the banquet at the county lord's house would either bring his wife or his daughter. If Li Wenxuan really wanted to accompany him to attend the meeting as two people, it would be a real slap in the face to Liu Wenjing, after all, the strict hierarchy restricts people both visibly and invisibly.
Zhao Tian'er, who didn't want Li Wenxuan to be embarrassed by this, was very well-behaved and sensible: "Otherwise, Sister Su and I won't go." ”
Although Su Meiniang was very disappointed in her heart, she knew that there was no way to do it. If she really wants to go her own way, it will hurt both Li Wenxuan and herself, after all, it will be troublesome for the county lord to feel that they despise her. Regarding Zhao Tianer's proposal, Su Meiniang did not raise any objections, but expressed her agreement.
Li Wenxuan, who opened his eyes, smiled and said, "Since you want to go so much, then I must take you there." As for identity, I think that's it. Mei Niang is my child daughter-in-law, and Tian'er is my wife who has not officially passed the door. ”
Zhao Tian'er and Su Meiniang, who heard him say this, made extremely happy voices. In this way, they can not only appear at Liu Wenjing's mother's birthday banquet in a dignified manner, but also realize that this is Li Wenxuan's recognition of the identity of the two. Zhao Tianer and Su Meiniang had a very good mentality, and they did not completely use their imagination in the good direction in his words, but settled on reality. Even if their future official status is not as good as this, it is very satisfying and excellent to retreat to the next best.
Su Meiniang, who had a bright and happy smile on her face, massaged him more energetically and said: "The county master's mother is celebrating her fiftieth birthday, so we have to prepare some gifts that we can get our hands on." This gift can neither be shabby nor lack of heart, but so that the other party will not underestimate our family at the same time, receive a good value for money, very good positive effect. Otherwise, this thing that cost a lot of money to give away can't be regarded as a play. ”
Li Wenxuan, who laughed, praised thoughtfully: "Mei Niang is not a woman who has worked in an inn and been a proprietor." This gift-giving knowledge is the first and the best, and it is not bad at all. ”
Her hands suddenly stopped, and Zhao Tian'er, who was in trouble, naturally knew the money and expenses at home, and her eyebrows tightened into her eyebrows: "In these days, Brother Wenxuan has always had a lot of expenses and a small income. There is not much money in the house. If the gift is too heavy, I'm afraid our family can't afford it. ”
"Sister, don't worry about this. I have enough money to deal with. "Su Meiniang is very generous, and she is willing to take out the money she brought to make up for this expense.
Li Wenxuan, who heard her say this, was surprised: "That's not right! If I'm not mistaken, isn't your inn all burned down, and you haven't brought anything of value out with you? If you say that you have nowhere to go and no money on you, but you said it to me and Tian'er in person. ”
"You remembered correctly, and the slave family didn't lie." Su Meiniang, whose face did not change and her heart did not beat, calmly made up a kind nonsense: "It was on a full moon night a few days ago, when the slave family got up at night, and suddenly saw a large pile of silver in the center of the house shining with gold there......"
When Li Wenxuan heard her say that God was really pitiful to her, so he sent a fortune boy to come down to help her, he was really admired by her ability to arrange magical stories. I estimate that the various versions of myths and stories that have been handed down since ancient times have been produced in this way by the imagination of the broad masses of people.
Li Wenxuan deeply felt that if he couldn't settle things at all, he would have to use Su Meiniang's private money, and he would not be too incompetent. I had an idea and a plan in my head: "You don't have to think so much. Even if you sell something for a lot of money, it's a mundane thing. Since it was our local parents' mother's birthday, I would congratulate her on giving her five pills. Another day, when you have time, just go to the shop on the street and buy a beautiful brocade box. ”
"Brother Wen Xuan, are you planning to give away five cold incense pills on this? Or is it a painkiller? "Zhao Tian'er is suddenly the fastest.
"Neither." Li Wenxuan denied her speculation.
Thinking of Li Wenxuan, whose old mother is already a fifty-year-old woman, it is expected that she must have entered menopause. I can clearly know that once a woman of this age enters menopause, she will have insomnia, dreams, night sweats, hot flashes, especially irritability, decreased energy and physical strength, memory loss, osteoporosis and other menopausal symptoms.
Li Wenxuan felt that this gift of gold, silver, field, land, precious tonics, etc., was not as good as giving the old lady of the Liu family the pills used to relieve menopausal symptoms. The dark green pill in his gourd was originally a heart-clearing pill that he had refined and was going to use to calm his mind in the middle of summer. He is extremely confident in Qingxin Pill, and believes that if the other party eats his pill, he will definitely be able to effectively alleviate the symptoms of menopause. Li Wenxuan won the favor of the old lady of the Liu family, that is, he won the favor of Liu Wenjing, who is the parent official of the county, after all, he is a dutiful son.
Out of curiosity, Zhao Tian'er really couldn't think of anything else valuable at home and said, "What is that?" ”
Li Wenxuan, who didn't hide it, didn't mind saying publicly: "It's the dark green pill you poured out of the gourd that day." If we send this past to Liu Wenjing's mother to congratulate her on her birthday, we will definitely please her old man. ”
For his words, not only Zhao Tian'er will not doubt it, but even Su Meiniang will not doubt it. They had all seen Li Wenxuan with their own eyes, and they had personally swallowed the red pill they had refined, and the immediate effect was achieved. In addition, he was originally a Taoist priest with a reputation in the local area, so it was extremely suitable to send the elixir he had refined.
"Isn't it too valuable? I think it's better to send five. Just give her three, no, just two. Zhao Tian'er, whose expression showed distress, thought that every pill was poured into Li Wenxuan's cultivation, and proposed.
Li Wenxuan, who knew that his Qingxin Pill was not like the Cold Incense Pill, which used many precious Chinese medicinal materials, smiled lightly and said, "Others are also celebrating their fiftieth birthdays. I counted one for her in ten years, and five was just right. ”
Zhao Tian'er pursed her lips and responded, "It's too cheap for her." She took advantage of our family. ”
"Wen Xuan, if you just listen to the words of Sister Tian'er, you will send two pieces. After all, five is a bit more. Su Meiniang also didn't recommend that he send so many pills to celebrate his birthday.
The reason why I have such a strong reaction is that I think of the cold incense pill that Zhao Tianer gave to herself in order to express her sisterhood with herself. Su Meiniang really didn't take it too seriously at first. I really don't think that thing is so precious and miraculous, even if the other party told her the true story of the blood collapse, it didn't make her convinced.
It was on that day that Lin Ruoxi came to the house to make trouble and injured Li Wenxuan, making Su Meiniang see the wonderful effect of the elixir he refined for the first time. Since then, she has changed her original opinion drastically. The cold incense pill in her hand was placed in a delicate brocade box and kept safely, after all, it was not a sugar pill that could be bought casually.
Thinking about it, Li Wenxuan suddenly felt that the method of hunger marketing and scarcity strategy he adopted was extremely correct. Even their own Zhao Tian'er and Su Meiniang have become detached for this, so it is conceivable that some people outside will treat his elixir as a god, a good thing that can be encountered but not sought.
Li Wenxuan, who began to do their ideological work, said slowly: "You have to believe that there is a truth that you can't let the child trap the wolf, but the daughter-in-law can't catch the pervert. Although our family and the Liu family have no friendship, you should not forget that Liu Wenjing is an upright local magistrate of the Seventh Rank Palm Seal. Being friendly with him will not hurt us, it will only be good. In case our family encounters any more trouble, it will be more convenient to talk with this friendship, right? If you go to the temple to burn incense and worship the Bodhisattva, then the Bodhisattva will not be blessed. ”
Su Meiniang and Zhao Tianer, who no longer insisted, have always believed that what he said is reasonable, after all, the effect of preparing in advance is much more obvious than temporary cramming.
Li Wenxuan, who had done the ideological work of the two of them with a few words, was so interested that he didn't forget to praise them again: "I know that Lu Dao Tian'er and Mei Niang are good women who know how to reason." It's a great pleasure to have both of you by my side. ”
