Chapter 390: Something to Ask For
"Mrs. Wen Xiu thinks that this tea, if she goes to choose the imperial merchant, will she have a chance?" Cui'er saw that Mrs. Wen Xiu and Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Qu loved this flower tea very much, although she was still a little apprehensive in her heart, she still asked softly.
The scene fell silent all of a sudden.
The breeze blew through the pavilion by the lake, with the faint fragrance of lotus leaves in the coolness, but Cui'er's face was a little hot, which only made people feel cramped. Cui'er's hand holding the teacup was a little cold, and she was trembling slightly, the voice she spoke just now was still echoing in her ears, but Cui'er felt that the voice seemed to be far away from her.
Although there were three ladies sitting next to her, this short silence made Cui'er's heart suffocated, and her face was hot and uncomfortable. Cui'er suddenly thought of the feeling at this time, as if when she had just gone to work, she was scolded by the master sitting next door for half an hour.
Thinking of the tragic experience, Cui'er's heart suddenly let go, her hands didn't tremble, her heart didn't tremble, she raised her head to look at the girls who were laughing and talking in the distance, and she was glad that she didn't arrange them to come closer.
Because the pavilion by the lake is small, Cui'er was afraid that the girls would be restrained, so she placed them a little far away from the pavilion, where there were large clusters of blooming flowers on one side and the sparkling lake on the other.
When Cui'er trembled from her heart to relaxed and looked into the distance, the three people sitting in the pavilion also lowered their heads a little tangled. None of them are too good.
"This tea ......" Mrs. Wen Xiu looked at the jasmine tea in her cup and couldn't help but groan.
Mrs. Wen Xiu is the daughter of a powerful family, and she has to think about everything she says three times on weekdays. Now I hear Cui'er ask this. Where can't I hear that Cui'er wants to use these words, not only to ask herself if this tea is feasible, but also to ask if the Dingguo Mansion can guarantee the Ye family!
To tell the truth, Cui'er's tea, Mrs. Wenxiu herself is very fond of it, especially this jasmine tea, the soup is bright and fragrant. The snow-white petals of the flowers slowly fluttered because of the hot water, as if they were slowly opening because of the moisture of the water.
Although he has a close relationship with Cui'er. She is also the godmother of Yuehua and Chenguang, but for the sake of the Ye family, Mrs. Wenxiu can't directly agree to it. After all, this is not only about the back house, but also about the shopping mall. It will be more faintly involved in the partisan struggle in the court.
Now that the second brother is in the northwest, this Cui'er's husband and general are also in the northwest, and if he accidentally causes trouble, I'm afraid he will be out of reach!
And Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Qu, on the one hand, are the superiors of their husbands, who need to be well knotted, and on the other hand, they are their husbands' comrades, who have a lifelong friendship and a good friendship with themselves. If this matter is forced to Mrs. Wen Xiu to agree. I'm afraid of offending Shangfeng, if I help Mrs. Wen Xiu to play haha and miss this stubble, I'm afraid that Cui'er will be sad.
Rao is one of the few people who are exquisitely dressed on weekdays. Because of the importance of each other, it is not easy to make a rash decision, and this meeting was a little frozen for a while.
Cui'er naturally knew that Mrs. Wen Xiu would be embarrassed in this matter, but looking at the solemn look on Mrs. Wen Xiu's face, and the way Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Qu looked at them and didn't know what to say, it seemed to be more embarrassed than Cui'er expected. Cui'er suddenly found out when she saw this. They seem to be thinking more than what they are asking for.
"Sister Xuan, I asked this abruptly." Cui'er said with a wry smile. Seeing that Mrs. Wen Xiu's face changed, as if she wanted to divert the topic, she hurriedly continued, "Although this matter has something to do with inviting Grandpa Guo to raise my family's teahouse to participate in the imperial business, it is not asking for this. ”
As soon as Cui'er said this, Mrs. Wen Xiu's breathing was obviously much smoother, "Sister Cui'er, it's not that I, as a sister, won't help you, it's really that the men's affairs are too complicated, and I, a woman, don't dare to agree directly." ”
"My sister's embarrassment, I understand it, this is a major matter related to the royal family, so naturally I don't dare to rashly ask my sister for her head and make my sister embarrassed. Originally, I just wanted to invite you to taste this tea, if you think this tea is still in your mouth, and there is one thing to ask for, now ......" Cui'er looked at Mrs. Wen Xiu, hesitated but did not say the so-called one thing.
"As long as it's not such a major matter involving the court, if there is anything I can help with, Sister Cui'er, you just have to say it!" Mrs. Wen Xiu is sincere in her relationship with Cui'er, and naturally knows that Cui'er is not the one who does not distinguish between the important and the important. Since it has been said that it is a major matter, as long as it is not a major matter involving the court, even if it is a little difficult, Mrs. Wenxiu decided to reach out to help.
What's more, Wen Xiu was already guilty because of his suspicion of Cui'er just now, but now looking at Cui'er's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, he felt that he had misunderstood her, and hurriedly promised, "Sister Cui'er, you can say it, my sister will definitely help if she can help!" ”
"Sister......" Cui'er looked at Mrs. Wen Xiu like this, and stood up busily, "This was originally a little selfishness of the sister, and the sister is so righteous that the sister feels too ashamed." ”
"It's all sisters, Sister Cui'er, if you have something to say, if we can help, we will definitely help you!" Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Qu also said the same, with a slight flush on their faces, I don't know if they were panicked because they wanted to protect themselves just now.
In fact, after Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Qu tasted Cui'er's flower tea, they felt that Cui'er was not only a kind-hearted person, but also had some background. Coupled with the lifelong friendship between his father-in-law and Lian Qingshan, if it was something they could do, the two of them really wanted to help Cui'er.
"Speaking of which, it is also related to the selection of imperial merchants." Cui'er saw that they were really helping her, so she no longer hesitated, and after renewing another round of tea for everyone, she slowly said, "A few sisters know that my family is the Ye family in Huxi, and my ancestors are tea makers and tea sellers, but they have been operating in Huxi, but they are not famous in the capital. ”
"The selection of this imperial businessman not only depends on whether the tea is good or not, but also depends on how famous it is and whether it is popular or not. The Ye family suffered a loss in this matter. ”
"It just so happened that I researched this flower tea, thinking that the ladies of the inner house would like it, so I thought that if I could use this flower tea as publicity, so that the big families in the capital would know about the tea of the Xia Ye family and the tea house of the Ye family, and I might be able to eat less if I suffered a loss in this reputation."
"Actually, in my selfish heart, I want to bring some flower tea back for my sisters, and ask my sisters to make a lamp for their daughters when they have a banquet at home, and add a pack of ...... when they give back gifts."
When Cui'er said this, whether it was Mrs. Wen Xiu or Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Qu, they all felt that their faces were a little hot, this was really a matter of spending the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Originally, I thought that Cui'er wanted to take advantage of their momentum and reputation, but I didn't expect that she would just send them some tea and let them help with publicity.
"What's so difficult about this, these little things are worth talking about!" Mrs. Wen Xiu looked at Cui'er's appearance, and couldn't help but look up to this woman who was not very old, but very close to her eyes.
Not to mention Lian Qingshan's kindness in saving Yuehua Chenguang, not to mention that she Ye Cui'er raised Yuehua Chenguang, and it was their stepmother's love for many years, just saying that Merlin saved Yueshu's innocence and marriage grace that time, this matter is worthy of Mrs. Wenxiu's help.
"Don't say anything, I'll definitely help you with this!" Mrs. Wen Xiu took Cui'er's hand and said, "It's not easy for you to study tea and make tea, anyway, I have to buy tea in my house, so it's better to buy it from you in the future." ”
"Sister, this can't be helped!" Cui'er waved her hand again and again and said, "This is obviously me asking my sisters for help, where can I still accept your money, isn't it embarrassing to me!" ”
"It's okay, if you don't collect the money for the banquet, you won't accept it, but in the future, if I feel good about drinking tea, I will go to the tea in Biye Piaoxiang Building, and you can't help but collect money!" Mrs. Wen Xiu looked at Cui'er and was genuinely frightened, and said with a smile.
Because of the suspicion of Cui'er just now, Mrs. Wen Xiu felt quite sorry for Cui'er, so she even agreed, "Speaking of which, there is really a banquet in our house recently, which is my mother-in-law's fifty-year-old birthday, just over a month later. ”
"Mother-in-law's birthday is my single-handed, I will take it back, I should go down to Sister Cui'er, you will do this, when I go to the house later, Sister Cui'er, you bring me some flower tea, I promise to take down the tea on this birthday banquet for you!" Because she was full of confidence in her heart, Mrs. Wenxiu's voice became louder when she spoke.
"Then thank you Sister Xuan!" Cui'er stood up with a smile and thanked Mrs. Wen Xiu, picked up the teapot and helped them make another cup of tea, and the four of them ate and drank and chatted, I don't know if it was because of the work together, the atmosphere was actually more harmonious than just now.
Drinking tea and eating dim sum is not the main event, and when it is almost noon, the dishes full of wild fun in the mountains are served. There are all kinds of fresh wild vegetables, freshly roasted meats, and freshly caught and cooked fish from the small lake, and some eat and play on the lakeside feast, which makes these ladies and ladies who have been bored in the boudoir for a long time happy.
When they were full of food and drink, and everyone was ready to leave, Cui'er asked someone to bring the flower tea that had been packaged.
I saw that in the one-foot-square colored cardboard box, six palm-sized porcelain vases were tied with velvet cushions, each porcelain vase was painted with a kind of flower, and a flower note was placed on it. The flower note and the flowers on the porcelain vase are in harmony, and the tea leaves in the bottle are also a set, which makes people love it.
"Sister, how did you come up with this, this tea is already very lovely, if you add this bottle and box, I can't let go, I want to take a few more sets back!" Mrs. Wenxiu smiled at Cui'er, making the ladies laugh. (To be continued)
