Chapter 115: Requested
Chang Yan breathed heavily.
This Wang Xi, who comes and goes with these means, will only smash people with silver!
She sneered in her heart, but she had to admit that Wang Xi's method was really effective, and to her surprise, she didn't expect Wang Xi to do the same to the people around her.
It can be seen that the Wang family is really rich.
She looked forward to visiting Wang Xi a little more.
"Cousin of the Wang family!" Chang Yan greeted Wang Xi with a smile, and the expression on her face was a little more enthusiastic than usual.
Wang Xi seemed to see those Wang family ladies who asked for her, and suddenly erected a line of defense in her heart, asking Bai Guo to take a few Baizhu down to share the pearls, and leaving Bai Zhi to serve tea to Chang Yan.
Chang Yan had to compliment Wang Xi with a few words such as "treat people kindly" and "be generous and refreshing".
Wang Xi listened with a smile, and was even more sure that Chang Yan had asked for it, but she just didn't ask Chang Yan why she cameβbegging her to speak first, how could there be such a rule.
Chang Yan talked about it for a long time, and saw that Wang Xi just couldn't stop touching the muzzle of the gun, and asked Bai Zhi, who had changed Bai Zhi to serve their refreshments, if the rice noodles sent to Yunju Temple were ready, and explained to Chang Yan that since the last time she followed Mrs. Tai to Yunju Temple to worship Buddha, she felt that Yunju Temple was full of green trees and a very good fasting feast, thinking that the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and whether she wanted to go to Yunju Temple to live for a few days: "Let Mama Wang prepare some rice noodles, and donate them to Yunju Temple in the next two days, and borrow them for a few days when the time comes." β
The weather is indeed getting hotter and hotter, because the population of Yongcheng Houfu is increasing, the place where you live is getting smaller and smaller, and you have cut down trees several times to build a house, and there are not as many ancient trees as others, and naturally there is no shade in other people's homes. The Chang family is patriarchal, although Chang Yan is the only daughter in the second room, she is quite favored by her parents, but the place where she lives is really nothing commendable.
Wang Xi will definitely find a way to take Chang Ke with him.
Inexplicably, Chang Yan thought so firmly, and felt uncomfortable again, but Wang Xi stood up after saying these words, and said, "Third sister, do you want to go with me to have a look, I am still thinking about whether to send vegetarian buns to the table." There is less ice this year, and there must be more people who borrow Yunju Temple. If we just send some rice noodles, I'm afraid that there is nothing rare, and Yunju Temple may not agree to let us borrow it. Vegetarian buns are different, they are the skills of the chef in my house, and on such a hot day, you can't put it down, and no one will do it. β
You know no one does it, and you still do it?!
Chang Yan couldn't help but slander in her heart, but she had to admit that if Wang Xi really made vegetarian stuffed buns and sent them over, it would be impossible to figure out that Yunju Temple would really sort out a courtyard for Wang Xi to borrow for a few days.
But Wang Xi's act of standing up and speaking was a tactful send-off in the etiquette norms, which made Chang Yan's face a little unpleasant, but she had to pretend not to understand, and pulled Wang Xi to continue talking: "Mama Wang is so capable, where do you want your cousin to see it in person, you just give me an order." β
Wang Xi sneered in his heart, but he didn't plan to get used to her begging for someone and not a big deal.
She smiled coquettishly, "I know! But I want to go to the kitchen and eat a few while they are making vegetarian stuffed buns, and I kind of want to eat steamed buns with cold noodles every day these days. β
Wang Xi was a little bitter in summer, and in the summer, she wanted to eat heavy food, and she got angry after eating too much, and Mama Wang personally boiled herbal tea to watch her pour it before she stopped, which made her bitter, and she wondered if she should go to Dr. Feng to prescribe her a few tonics.
It was useless for Chang Yan to stop her at this time, so she had to explain her intentions: "I came to find my sister because I had something to ask for." β
Wang Xi deliberately looked surprised, then sat down and said, "The Yongcheng Marquis Mansion is powerful, and several elders are all capable people, what can make the third sister ask me to come here?" She said, pretending to be scared and moving her body to the side, and continued, "I'm afraid that I'm weak and weak, and I can't help the third sister, so don't blame me for the third sister when the time comes." β
Before she could say this, she stopped her back, and Chang Yan could only smile bitterly in her heart, who let herself ask her?
If it was usual, Chang Yan would definitely walk away, but this time, what she wanted to hide was secret, and she could only bite the bullet and say: "It is precisely because it is not good to ask for elders, so I asked for my cousin." She was afraid that Wang Xi would be a demon, so she hurriedly told Wang Xi what she wanted: "I heard that my cousin's family has some connections with Jimintang, can you help me ask for a hundred years of ginseng." β
Hundred-year-old ginseng is quite rare, but people like Wang Xi, who also do their own medicinal material business, encounter good things, especially such life-saving things, of course, they keep them for their own use. What others can't ask for, it's very common for her.
But Wang Xi didn't want to help.
Everyone in the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion is fine, Chang Yan definitely didn't come to ask her for the people of the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion, so Chang Yan either took it to do favors, or asked for others. If it is the former, why should she give Chang Yan face? If it's the latter, since you can come to Chang Yan, why can't you come to her?
What's more, Chang Yan and Shi Zhu were very close during this time, if Chang Yan came to beg her for Shi Zhu, and finally the thing arrived in Shi Zhu's hands, she was so angry that she vomited blood.
Wang Xi said with a smile: "The medicinal materials produced in Shu, even if they have no relationship with Jimintang, it is impossible for such life-saving medicinal materials to be prepared at home." It's just that what you are asking for is a hundred years of ginseng, such a panacea is in the hands of the elders, and the third sister wants it, and she has to give me a reason to speak in front of the elders! β
She guessed that Chang Yan would definitely not be able to say it explicitly.
Chang Yan really looked embarrassed.
Wang Xi seemed to give her the stairs, but in fact he was blocking her and said: "I don't know who wants it?" What is it used for? Dr. Feng from Jimintang grew up watching me, and his medical skills are very good, why don't I lead you to a line and lead people to Dr. Feng to have a look? Or you can use ordinary ginseng to top one, I still have two 20-year-old ginseng here, it's really urgent, you take it and use it first. β
Ginseng is 20 years old, and although it is valuable, it is not rare. If Chang Yan dared to give it to Shi Zhu, she would be able to shout that the whole capital knew that Shi Zhu couldn't even get twenty-year-old ginseng, so that her bottom and face would be gone.
Chang Yan's expression is a little unpleasant. She hesitated for a long time, and she didn't say what she wanted the 100-year-old ginseng to do, but when she left, she left a living sentence: "I don't know if the 20-year-old ginseng is useful, if it is useful, I have to come to my cousin, or go to Jimin Hall to have a look." β
Wang Xi nodded and asked Bai Guo to send Chang Yan away.
Chang Ke hurried over, wiped the sweat on his forehead and asked Wang Xi: "Has the third sister been here?" β
It seems that there is a reason for this!
Wang Xi personally poured a cup of sour plum soup and invited Chang Ke to sit down and talk.
Chang Ke took a sip of sour plum soup, calmed down, and then said: "The third sister asked me to beg you, but I felt that something was wrong, not only politely refused, but also persuaded her for a long time, she promised me not to care about this matter, but I didn't expect her to come to beg you." I rushed early and late, but I still didn't catch up. β
Only then did Wang Xi know that it was the second wife of the Xiangyang Hou Mansion, that is, the mother of Xie Feng, the fourth son of the Xiangyang Hou Mansion, who was sick and needed ginseng for a hundred years.
This obviously has nothing to do with Chang Yan!
Is this the power of love so great? can make a reserved girl who is raised in the boudoir mess up.
No wonder Chang Yan couldn't speak.
Chang Ke was more thoughtful than Wang Xi, she reminded Wang Xi: "A few days ago, the emperor and the queen were sick one after another, and now there are such good medicinal materials in the capital, and they are dedicated to the palace, I guess that even if anyone has such a good thing, it is also kept for their own life-saving use, and it will never be easily taken out as a favor, not to mention that the second wife of the Xiangyang Hou Mansion is only more decent than others in the Xiangyang Hou Mansion because her daughter married to the Qingyun Hou Mansion as the princess, and it is not that the second master is sick, even if the Xiangyang Hou Mansion asks for the Qingyun Hou Mansion, it may not be as desired." You have one more mind. β
Everyone knows that Wang Xi is rich, and his family is still in the medicinal herb business, so I am afraid that Mrs. Tai will be moved by someone and come to ask for medicine.
Wang Xi looked at the sunlight outside that was so bright that people couldn't open their eyes, sighed, called Mama Wang in, and said, "Let's go live in Yunju Temple for a few days, right?" There is no time in this house to live in peace. β
Mama Wang couldn't wait.
Wang Xi has lost weight in the past few days, his big eyes seem to be more and more round, and his small face is so thin that he can only see his eyes.
"I'll arrange it." When Mama Wang spoke, she was already thinking about the trip in her heart, "At most, in two days, the eldest lady can go out." β
Wang Xi nodded again and again, and as Chang Yan thought, invited Chang Ke to go with him.
Chang Ke really wanted to leave the Yongcheng Hou Mansion to live for a few days, but her mother needed to be appeased, so she had to discuss with her mother first.
Wang Xi urged her to go quickly, and went to the kitchen to watch the cook make vegetarian stuffed buns.
Vegetable filling, bean paste filling, tofu filling, mushroom filling...... The chef made more than a dozen different flavors of steamed buns in one go.
Wang Xi suddenly remembered something, she said to the cook: "I remember eating a kind of steamed bun at my aunt's house, which is exactly the same as this shiitake mushroom, and it is breaded with bean paste, can you make it?" β
The people in the kitchen looked at each other.
Wang Xi carefully said what kind of mushroom buns he had eaten.
Xiaoyaozi and Haitao of Zhenwu Temple received the title deed of Sigu Mountain, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I didn't expect the Wang family to be so righteous, such a big mountain, just give it to it, this person is not good to pay back!" β
Haitao and Xiaoyaozi have different opinions, he said: "The reason why we can't find the title deed of Sigu Mountain is because it has always been regarded as a woman's dowry to different families, and I am afraid that this title deed is a dowry prepared by the royal family for their daughter." This pecking and drinking is all cause and effect. We have to compensate others more or less. β
Xiaoyaozi asked Haitao: "What do you mean?" β
Haitao thought for a while and said, "Aren't their families looking for incense?" It just so happens that I have a collection of incense recipes left by an elder immortal in the temple after his death, which is very wonderful, I think it is better to borrow flowers to offer Buddha and give it to the eldest lady of the Wang family as a thank you gift, what do you think? β
Although it is not enough to repay the favor of Sigu Mountain, but Nanhua Temple has Sigu Mountain, it will definitely set up a monument to engrave the donor for future generations to pay respect, a secret incense recipe, more or less a thank you gift.
Xiaoyaozi thinks this is very good.
