How could Wang Xi ask Chang Ke to help her move flowers and grass?

She took the cold powder newly made by the cook to entertain Chang Ke.

The crystal clear cold powder, poured with caramel-colored maple frosting, dotted with red honey beans, green melons, yellow mangoes, and white fragrant pears, has been in the well, packed in a glass bowl, and in one bite, it is sweet to the heart, cool to the heart, and the heat has dissipated a little.

"Delicious!" After Chang Ke finished speaking, he couldn't help but eat another big spoonful.

Wang Xi pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "It's our snack there, made of the seeds of the lychee fruit, but you can't eat too much, and it's with lime powder." Every time I eat it, I feel like I'm taking poison, but I still love it, and I can't help but eat it several times a summer. ”

It is also sold in the capital. However, Chang Ke didn't know that there was lime powder in it, and it was not okay to eat it with that half bowl of cold powder, nor did she eat it, and finally thought about it, it was the same as Wang Xi, since everyone has eaten like this for so many years, it must be okay for her to eat less, right?

She happily ate the remaining half bowl of cold noodles.

The two talked about the housewarming banquet again.

As usual, Ke said, just invited Miss Wu Er, Lu Ling, and Miss Pan, and most of the sixth ladies in Bo Mansion said kind words, and they might not come over, just say hello, she can come if she wants, and she is not reluctant or reluctant.

According to Wang Xi's temper, she would not invite Miss Bo Jialiu, but she promised Chen Luo to help him inquire about Chen Ying's marriage, so it was necessary for these young ladies to get to know each other. Don't talk about the sixth miss of the Bo family, like a few young ladies from the Xiangyang Hou Mansion, they have to make the next post.

The two of them ate the mung bean cake newly made by Chef Wang Xi, and discussed who to invite.

Wang Xi felt a little irritable.

Doctor Feng's things have not yet settled, and the big shopkeeper promised to help Chen Luo invite a staff member is not a matter of a while, and it is impossible to inquire about Chen Ying's marriage overnight, but Shi Zhu will have a banquet for Princess Fuyang tomorrow, Shi Zhu released his words a few days ago, this is a good opportunity to meet the nobles in Beijing, the ladies of the Yongcheng Hou Mansion should dress up beautifully to hold a scene, whether it is good for their own marriage or their connections after leaving the cabinet, she thought of finding an excuse to squat in her small courtyard to escape the heat.

Thinking of this, she remembered what Chang Ke said to her just now, and couldn't help but say curiously: "When was the second miss's marriage decided?" Why is there no publicity? Has it just been decided or is it already decided? ”

I just said that there is a repetition of the time, but it is reasonable to be silent. If the date has been set, it is impossible to change the marriage, not to mention that no one went to see the excitement when the decision was made, and the faces of the two families were not good, which was a little unusual.

Chang Ke originally came to tell Wang Xi about it, but he was disturbed by Wang Xi's bowl of cold noodles on the left and a plate of mung bean cake on the right, so he forgot about it.

She hurriedly lowered her voice, leaned into Wang Xi's ear and whispered, "It's the eldest sister's mother-in-law who helped make this matchmaker." The family's surname is Huang, and although his father-in-law is only a six-rank military attaché, he is also from a martial arts background, and his family has a lot of money. It is the second son of their family who is engaged to the second sister, and it is said that he is already a Wuju person at a young age. The eldest aunt was very satisfied. Neither the uncle nor the grandmother said anything. But the second sister made trouble several times. It's just that the eldest aunt is determined to let the second sister marry, and it is estimated that she will not make a big deal about it before she makes an official decision. ”

Wang Xi has never seen the eldest lady of the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion, and he doesn't know what kind of person she is, so he naturally can't say anything about this family business.

Compared with the Yongcheng Hou Mansion, the Huang family's family is indeed lower.

But the Marquis of Yongcheng and Mrs. Tai didn't say anything, which couldn't help but make people think more.

Wang Xi asked how the second son of the Huang family looked, how old he was, and what kind of people were in the family.

Chang Ke can answer some and some can't, but she said one thing: "The Huang family is said to have started in the rice and grain business, and it is said that their family still had business dealings with the Qingyun Marquis Mansion in the early years, so they made a lot of money. ”

Wang Xi's heart moved.

Chang Ke grew up in the Hou Mansion, so he naturally didn't know about business.

But she was in the air.

All the salt is introduced to this thing, because from the south to the north, through the Cao transport to the nine sides of the grain loss is too great, so the grain is released to the merchants, those merchants bear the loss of transporting grain, and then take the grain to the nine sides to exchange the voucher for selling salt, to the salt transport envoy there to exchange official salt, sell to the people.

In the meantime, I don't know how many articles can be done.

If the Huang family was in the Qingyun Marquis Mansion back then, it would not be unusual to make a lot of money.

Just thinking about it like this, I'm afraid that the Qingyun Marquis Mansion will earn more.

Wang Xi thought of an uncle in this dynasty who made a lot of money by selling the military jacket of the military department with shoddy goods.

Compared with this uncle of the country, the means of the Qingyun Marquis Mansion obviously don't know how much higher.

Wang Xi picked up the fragrant leaves that jumped past her, stroked the cat's chin, and made the fragrant leaves paralyzed and screamed at her, and then she said: "That Qingyun Marquis Mansion has been the uncle of the country for two terms, even if he is not the richest one in Beijing, I am afraid that he is one of the best." ”

"That's right." Chang Ke was a little surprised that Wang Xi would say this, she nodded and said, "Their family will fight, and my grandfather said that only fighting is the most profitable." You can see clearly that there are so many people in Pinghou Mansion, but every girl in their family has a dowry of 5,000 taels of silver when she goes out of the pavilion, and her son is 3,000 when she gets married. There are more than 1,000 acres of sacrificial fields in the capital alone. So the people in their family have suffered a lot of damage, but there are also a lot of people who speak cool words. ”

Wang Xi was stunned and said, "The people of the Qingyun Marquis Mansion can fight?" ”

So what did their money come from for business? Or did you come from the war?

Chang Ke smiled: "Shouldn't you wonder why the girl of their family is married for 5,000 taels of silver, and the son is only 3,000 when he gets married?" ”

Wang Xi disagreed, and said: "The girl's family is originally more bitter, and the marriage of our girl out of the cabinet is also higher than that of the son's marriage, what's so strange about this?" ”

Chang Ke was embarrassed and said: "I thought that only the Qingping Marquis Mansion was like this, but I didn't expect your family to be like this." But when I grew up so big, I only met the two of you, other people's families, not to mention other people's families, let's just say that in our family, the girl only paid 500 taels of silver out of the cabinet, but the son got married but 1,500 taels. ”

Wang Xi smiled and said, "How old are you, and how many things will you see in the future?" It's not uncommon to take a long time. ”

Chang Ke nodded.

didn't know that although she had a long rest of her life, she only met these two.

Of course, later her own family and Wang Xi were not counted among them, and she always felt that she and Wang Xi were both at the expense of the Wang family.

She talked about the Qingyun Marquis Mansion: "Miss Bo Liu is originally from Gansu, and Miss Bo Liu's great-grandfather once served as a guerrilla general under the command of the Wu family of the Qingping Marquis Mansion. Miss Bo's great-grandfather was a martial artist who became a master of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, so he led the family to settle in the capital. During the time of Emperor Xiaozong, the aunt and grandmother of the sixth lady of the Bo family were eligible to be elected to the palace, first as a beauty, then as a concubine, and finally as the queen.

The Bo family became a dignitary of the dynasty.

"But the Bo family is famous, but it doesn't rely on the identity of the country's uncle.

"Miss Bo Liu's grandfather was also born in Wuju, and that year the Qingping Marquis Mansion fought with the soldiers in Jinchuan, and lost seven generals in a row and lost ten cities. The emperor was furious and sent Miss Bo Liu's grandfather to hold her accountable. Who knew that after Miss Bo Liu's grandfather went, he was besieged by soldiers with the Marquis of Qingping.

Miss Bo Liu's grandfather was so angry that he took the handsome seal of the Marquis of Qingping, temporarily changed the general, not only broke through the city, but also captured six cities in a row when the imperial court did not send a single soldier, and directly drove the people to Tufan City, and was named the general of the expedition to the west by the first emperor.

"The fact that the Tufan people have not invaded the Central Plains for so many years is the credit of Miss Bo Liu's grandfather.

"It's just that at that time, the reputation of the Qingping Marquis Mansion was high, and the Empress Dowager Bo was named the queen again, and the Bo family did not publicize it in order to avoid suspicion, and many people did not know that the first battle of Jinchuan was actually the general soldier made by the old Qingyun Marquis.

"Old Qingyunhou was also seriously injured because of this battle and was sick for several years, but he still went.

"Miss Bo Liu's father also gained a firm foothold in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies because of this.

"Therefore, the Qingping Marquis Mansion always has a somewhat unpleasant appearance when it encounters the Qingyun Marquis Mansion."

When Chang Ke said this, he laughed a few times, and then continued: "When my grandfather was alive, he often nagged the Bo family, saying that 'the order of the foreign monarch will not be granted', the old Qingyun Marquis is cunning and treacherous, who knows whether he will hit the Tufan City or bloody Tufan Palace, otherwise why is the Bo family so rich?"

"But I think my grandfather must be jealous of the old Qingyun Marquis, who can seal his wife and get silver.

"Miss Bo Liu's two uncles have a hereditary four-rank command envoy position, and one of his uncles has also been a martial artist!"

No wonder the emperor didn't dare to make trouble at will.

Wang Xi followed Xiangye's meaning, helped Xiangye scratch her belly, and squinted her eyes to fall asleep, so she handed the cat to the little maid who took care of it, and said to Chang Ke: "If that's the case, the second lady's marriage is not bad!" That family is the second son, she doesn't have to take care of the house, and she just votes for her temper. ”

Chang Ning's temper is indeed not suitable for being the eldest daughter-in-law.

Chang Ke said: "I just don't know if the Huang family is still in contact with the Qingyun Marquis Mansion now?" But my eldest sister is a stable one, and her mother-in-law is a matchmaker for the second sister, she should know. Now that she knows, she will definitely not let Chang Ning suffer. I don't know what Chang Ning is making a fuss about.

"If I were an aunt, I would have to keep her in the house and not let her out.

"If she said something inappropriate in front of Princess Fuyang, it would be even more embarrassing."

Wang Xi also thinks so.

The two muttered and talked, and Mama Shi, who was beside Mrs. Tai, smiled and brought a food box with seven or eight kinds of snacks, saying that Mrs. Tai asked her to go over for dinner, and seeing that Chang Ke was also here, Shun Shui's favor, she also invited Chang Ke, but what she said was a little insincere.
