Chapter 451: Red Envelope 850 Plus Update
As soon as she got out of the general's mansion, Li Meirou "slipped away" into the carriage and fell angrily: "Why!! What kind of lowly girl from the countryside can wear the clothes made by Jiang and everyone? Does she deserve it!! β
When Mrs. Li saw her daughter's little face, she was so angry that she was about to deform, and hurriedly comforted: "That girl, who runs to the Zhuangzi all day long, has to serve the fields, and has to clean up the vegetables, even if she puts on gorgeous feathers, the pheasant can't turn into a phoenix!" My son is beautiful and dignified, and her figure is slender, so Jiang everyone doesn't design clothes for us, which is a big loss for her! β
If Yu Xiaocao hears this passage, he will definitely ask: Mrs. Li, did you come from the Republic of China? I'm quite familiar with Ah Q! Give full play to the spirit of Ah Q, it is really true!
"Mother, what do you think of Jiang? If it is really as the cheap girl said, it provides her with design inspiration, and gives her two clothes. Why promise to keep two sets of clothes all year round, one season? Li Meirou said that she was very aggrieved, she couldn't get a single dress, and that vulgar girl who went to the countryside had four sets of clothes in rotation a year!!
Mrs. Li hurriedly comforted her daughter and said, "Rou'er, think about the background of the Jiang family, but it is just a businessman. Shinong industry and commerce are even lower than peasants. Although he was held up like a flower, walking in the circle of noblewomen with the highest status in the capital, he must have low self-esteem in his heart. Now, suddenly there is a girl from a similar background to her, and the two naturally cherish each other! β
Li Meirou's face was clouded and foggy. Suddenly, as if she thought of something, she lifted the curtain to look left and right, and then said, "Mother, you can't say this outside!" Jiang's design has always been sought after by everyone. If it reaches her ears, our family will be regarded as a refusal to come and go by the Linglong Embroidery Workshop again! Be careful! β
"Or my daughter is thoughtful! Okay, don't say it!! In the future, it will only be in the inner courtyard, and we should whisper! Mrs. Li suddenly remembered the purpose of today's trip, did this achieve or not?
"Rou'er, it seems that this Yu Xiaocao's future achievements are no worse than that Jiang Siniang. Now the vegetables and fruits of this winter alone are enough to be remembered by the powerful family. I heard that the little tomatoes in Yangjun Wang Zhuangzi almost caught up with Jiang Siniang's own design, and became the capital for the magnates to show off when they were entertaining. β
Mrs. Li thought that Mrs. Fang was four or five years older than herself, but she looked only in her early thirties, and her skin was as tender as a little girl. If it is really the effect of peach blossom tea, once Yu Xiaocao makes time to make more peach blossom tea, whether it is given away or sold, it is definitely more popular than the clothes made by Jiang Siniang herself.
The clothes are worse than Jiang Siniang's, and the ones made can also decorate the faΓ§ade. But the skin is different, no matter how gorgeous and glamorous the costume is, lined with an old bark-like face, it can't wear one-twelfth of the effect of the costume. The skin is better, it looks younger, and even homely clothes can be worn with a different taste. Isn't today's Mrs. Fang an example?
Although Li Meirou was not convinced, she had to admit that this was the truth. Small tomatoes, ten taels of silver in a small box, containing less than a pound of fruit, Shilang's Mansion is not unaffordable. But the family is a limited sale, and each store only sells 20 boxes a day.
There are so many powerful people in Beijing, and there are some wealthy merchants, not to mention 100 boxes a day, even if it is ten times more, it can be digested! In the past two months, Shilang's Mansion has only grabbed a box. The masters of the Shilang Mansion add up, there are also ten juniors, and there are also concubines favored by their fathers, and it is already very good for one person to get one or two. Rao is favored by her parents in front of her, but she only has one more than her brother and younger brothers.
The tomatoes are small and delicate, and the fruit is bright and lovely. When you eat one, it is sweet and sour, and the juice fills your mouth, making you fall in love with this taste at once. I heard that tomatoes are not only delicious, but also good for health!
I heard that the little princess in the palace had an unbalanced spleen and stomach a few days ago, and refused to take medicine. Yu Xiaocao donated a basket of small tomatoes, and the little princess's body was so good without taking medicine! Now not only does he have a better appetite and a good complexion, but he is also a lot more lively. Concubine Li, along with her mother's family, has changed a lot towards that cheap girl.
It's just a farmer, and he can make so many nobles treat him differently. This cheap girl is too lucky! Although Li Meirou despised Yu Xiaocao very much in her heart, thinking of the stakes, she felt that she needed to have a good relationship with this person, which would be extremely helpful to her and her family's future.
There was no need for her mother to persuade her again, she had already figured it out herself, but she pretended to be aggrieved and said: "Mother, don't worry! The daughter will not be reckless in the future. If she wanted to, her daughter would socialize with her like a friend. β
"This is my mother's good daughter! You have been wronged, didn't you have a long time in love with the gold wire inlaid treasure cloud bracelet in your mother's place? Turning around, let the girl find out and send it to you! Mrs. Li was very pleased with her daughter's cooperation.
Li Meirou was overjoyed, but said hesitantly: "That bracelet, doesn't it say that the daughter-in-law is not the daughter-in-law?" My sister-in-law seems to be very interested in it! β
"Humph! To her? Why don't you go to her mother's house? Rou'er, in the future, you must not be like your sister-in-law, always thinking about subsidizing your mother's family. Although our family is not prosperous, it will not let the daughter help to live, and the daughter will be looked down upon by her husband's family! For this daughter-in-law, Mrs. Li looks down on her in every way. It's all to blame on the master, what is it bad to do when you are drunk, you have to promise to become a family member of your children with others. It's okay now, there is one more poor relative in plain white, and he always wants to pull things from the squire's mansion.
"Mother, what are you talking about!" mentioned her family affairs, Li Meirou was so ashamed that her face turned red. As long as she stays in Beijing, it shouldn't be difficult to gain a good marriage as the eldest lady of her three-grade official family. So, what is the temporary grievance? However, she also knows that recently is not the time to mention family affairs. It's all to blame for Yu Xiaocao's cheap girl, which has affected her reputation!
Mrs. Li rolled her eyes and said, "I don't know where this Yu girl's recipe for making peach blossom tea came from." If we have such a formula, it will definitely be a daily profit! β
Li Meirou thought about it, the smile on the corner of her mouth deepened a little, and said softly: "Mother, if the recipe that can make a woman younger, if it is spread, it will definitely make people rush to it!" There are more powerful people in Beijing than General Fang! You say, if this matter is publicized, will that six-rank official from a peasant girl be able to keep her prescription? β
"What do you mean?" Mrs. Li looked at her little girl in a daze, her cruel gaze and hideous demeanor made her feel strange.
"It's easy! I can't get it, and I won't let that lowly girl get it!! This recipe, no matter who it is, is stronger than in the hands of that cheap girl! Li Meirou gritted her teeth and said.
Soon, the newly appointed Lord Yu had a recipe to make women young and beautiful, and the news spread in the capital. All of a sudden, the clouds were surging. Mrs. Fang became busy, and there was an endless stream of people who came to inquire about the news.
After King Yangjun got the news, he smelled the smell of conspiracy. He recently received an envoy, and he really couldn't tell the difference, so he sent two strong guards to Yu Xiaocao, telling the little girl to take the two of them with him when she came to and from the imperial village. Still not at ease, I sent two more girls who know kung fu to protect me. In the end, even Manager Liu was sent to Xiaocao's side, saying that when he was away, he assisted in managing the vegetables and fruits in the greenhouse in Zhuangzi. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is protection in disguise.
Yu Xiaocao is not hypocritical, and the person who gives it will receive all the orders. The more it is spread in Beijing, the more evil it becomes, saying that Yu Xiaocao can reverse the agricultural time and grow vegetables and fruits that are out of season, which has the ability to be anti-natural, and make people rejuvenate! To say that it can make people younger and more beautiful, but it can incite the hearts of some beautiful ladies. But rejuvenation will make more people tempted. Immortality is something that kings of all ages have pursued but have not been able to. How much more about the officials and the common people?
All of a sudden, Yu Xiaocao became the fattest fragrant meat, and people were eyeing him everywhere he went. Fortunately, there were two masters dressed in the first-class guard costumes of King Jing's Mansion, as well as the unfathomable manager Liu beside King Yangjun, who made most of them think carefully.
This wind also blew into the palace. Some favored concubines blew their pillows to the emperor, and even the queen took this matter a little seriously.
"Your Majesty, do you think there is really a prescription in this world that can rejuvenate and rejuvenate?" The queen mother looked at the face in the mirror that was no longer as bright as it was a few years ago, and asked softly.
Zhu Junfan smiled and said, "You, you are still the mother of a country!" How can you believe the rumors of those who are ignorant? Rejuvenation, if there is really such a prescription, can the emperors of the past dynasties let it go? Have you heard of any dynasty or generation where there have been immortal people? Besides, Fei'er, how can you use the medicine for rejuvenation? Look at this face, it looks like eighteen. If I am a child again, I will have one more girl! β
The queen mother was overjoyed by his sweet words, but she tried her best to control the corners of her upturned mouth, and said, "What do you say! Let people hear the joke! β
Speaking of freshness, she is almost thirty years old, and she is definitely not as smart as those seventeen or eighteen-year-old little nobles and concubines who have just entered the palace. However, the emperor is not so greedy for freshness, he has been on the throne for seven or eight years, and there are only four or five new people added to the palace. Compared to the three thousand beauties in the harem, what is this?
She grew up with the emperor as a childhood sweetheart, and no matter how favored other concubines are, they can't go beyond her. Even though her skin is not as shiny as when she first married the emperor, and her voice is not as crisp as it was then, the emperor's friendship with her has not diminished a point. She should be satisfied! Even if you tell yourself countless times that you are the queen, why do you need to compare with those concubines who serve in Israel?
