Chapter 31: Tomatoes

The banquet soon began.

Mrs. Shen sent a maid to inform Miss Shen and the other ladies.

Under the leadership of Miss Shen, Lu Qingrong and the others came to the front hall.

Lord Shen, the head of the household department, is over forty years old this year and looks full of energy.

When I came to the front hall, the little girls who had not left the pavilion went to find their families.

Lu Qingrong and Nie Jingshuang also stood behind Mrs. Zhao.

Mrs. Zhao first gestured with her eyes and asked the two if there was anything wrong?

Of course, Lu Qingrong and Nie Jingshuang would not say anything, and they shook their heads one after another.

Mrs. Zhao knows her daughter's character the best, the thief in her eyes, and she smiled, there must be something.

However, she looked at Lu Qingrong's expression again, thinking that even if something happened, it would not be a big deal, so she put her mind at ease.

The most important thing now is to delay Nie Jingyang and let him get the list as soon as possible.

"Welcome to this house, to participate in this wolf peach viewing conference, contemptible unfortunate, a few days ago I got a few pots of wolf peaches from Mingzhou Port, it is said to be a rare price, so I specially invite you to come and watch, and have fun."

Before Lord Shen could finish speaking, someone began to urge.

"After talking for a long time, where is this wolf peach? Let's see, the big guys are all here to see the wolf peach. ”

Lord Shen first laughed heartily, "Don't worry, don't worry, this thing is precious and abnormal, and it has already been carried by people." ”

Time to speak.

A few small servants walked in carrying a few things covered with red cloth.

Lu Qingrong couldn't help but look at it, and heard Nie Jingshuang say that this wolf peach was paid tribute by Mingzhou Port, it was extremely poisonous, and it had a beautiful appearance, which was a very rare thing.

Under the urging of everyone, Lord Shen, the head of the household department, picked up the red silk with an iron rod.

Lu Qingrong's brows furrowed and then let go, she thought it was a wolf peach, it turned out to be a tomato.

People who want to come here don't know what tomatoes are, so they take the name wolf peach.

Lu Qingrong laughed softly, attracting Mrs. Zhao and Nie Jingshuang to look over.

"Sister-in-law, what are you laughing at? Do you know this wolf peach? ”

Lu Qingrong nodded, "This wolf peach also has a name tomato, which is a very delicious thing. ”

Something delicious?

Nie Jingshuang glanced at his mother and asked very curiously, "Sister-in-law, are you sure that thing can be eaten?" People say that wolf peaches are poisonous, and they are extremely poisonous. ”

Lu Qingrong thought that it was probably because no one had tried it that things like tomatoes would be rumored to be miraculous.

"This thing is non-toxic, and it tastes delicious, it can be eaten as a fruit, or it can be eaten as a dish, and it tastes sour."

Nie Jingshuang showed a greedy look, "Sister-in-law, are you telling the truth?" This thing is really edible. ”

Lu Qingrong nodded with a smile, speaking of which, she hadn't eaten tomatoes for a long time, and she missed it very much.

Just looking at the appearance of the Hubu Shangshu, this wolf peach should be very precious, and it is not easy to eat it.

Lu Qingrong didn't notice it, just when he was talking just now, a vicious gaze stared at her.

"The slave heard the lady of the prince say that the wolf peach was edible, and said that it could be made into a dish to eat." The little maid whispered in the ear of the county lord of Chixia.

Wolf peaches can also be made into something to eat.

The county lord of Chixia first glanced at Lu Qingrong with contempt, but then laughed again.

That wolf peach is a very poisonous thing.

If you eat it, you may die of poison.

Vicious thoughts arise in the mind.

Many of the guests who came in front of them were revolving around the wolf peach, and they were all amazed, saying that the wolf peach was a magical thing.

However, at this moment, a screeching voice came.

"Mrs. Shizi, what did you just say? Said that this wolf peach is edible. ”

The county lord of Chixia suddenly walked in front of Lu Qingrong and asked in a low voice, but the voice traveled far away.

Mrs. Zhao and Nie Jingshuang's faces darkened suddenly, both of them believed that the wolf peach that Lu Qingrong said was non-toxic, but it was different for this matter to be said by the county lord of Chixia in front of so many people.

In addition, the two of them didn't like the Chixia County Lord in the first place, so they saw the Chixia County Lord's eyes with a little disgust.

The county lord of Chixia didn't see Mrs. Zhao and Nie Jingshuang's dislike of him.

Brother Jingyang is still alive, she may look at these two people more for Brother Jingyang's sake.

Now that Jingyang's brother is dead, the two families have nothing to do with each other, and she can't please them.

The Chixia County Lord's gaze fell on Lu Qingrong again, and he raised his eyebrows.

The words have already been said about this, see what Lu Qingrong says.

Lu Qingrong found that many people's eyes had moved over.

I probably guessed what this Chixia County Lord wanted to do?

Over there, Shen Bixia said what had happened before in Mrs. Shen's ear, and Mrs. Shen was also very displeased with this Chixia County Lord.

In the same way, they don't have much to say here that they are county lords.

first glanced at his master.

Today is this banquet held by Lord Shen, the head of the household, and of course he should be the protagonist.

Now that the county lord of Chixia said this, all his eyes were around the past, and he, the master, was ignored, and of course he was unhappy in his heart.

But naturally he won't be so stingy as to worry about women.

But so many people have passed, and it is not quite right for him not to speak.

"What did you just say, Lord Chixia?"

A girl who has a good relationship with the county lord of Chixia asked.

The county lord of Chixia moved his feet and stopped at Lu Qingrong's feet, "I just heard Mrs. Shizi say that this wolf peach is non-toxic, and it can be eaten raw and can be eaten as a vegetable, so I couldn't help but ask curiously." ”

The voice of the county lord of Chixia was very loud, and the purpose was obvious, that is, he wanted to see Lu Qingrong make a fool of himself.

"Lord Shen, this is the wife of the prince of the Xuanguo Mansion, she is a well-informed person, she said that it is not poisonous, maybe this wolf peach is non-poisonous."

The county lord of Chixia still remembered that Lu Qingrong said that she had seen a short matter before.

If you find an opportunity for revenge, you won't let it go.

As soon as the people around heard that Lu Qingrong was the wife of the prince of the Xuanguo Mansion, their eyes also changed.

The Xuanguo Mansion couple had only one son, and they died on the battlefield, in order to pass on the lineage, they thought of leaving incense for their son, but who would marry a girl from a good family and live as a widow.

Thinking about it, this Lu Qingrong is not a favored person, after all, they have not heard of this person before.

Mrs. Zhao saw that the people around her were constantly looking at her daughter-in-law, and she was angry in her heart, stepped forward to protect Lu Qingrong, and swept her fierce gaze towards everyone.
