Chapter 259: You Grab the Silver! (1st Update)
When it was time to go to the banquet, Han Qinglian was carefully dressed up and radiant, and Xi Zizi followed Han Youning into the same carriage.
She took Han Youning's hand affectionately, "Eldest sister, are there many county lords and county lords who go?" Are there many princes and nobles?"
Han Youning smiled, "Don't forget, our mansion is a first-class duke, you don't have to think too highly of them, just be indifferent."
Han Qinglian retracted for a moment and sat upright, "I've never participated in this kind of banquet...... Eldest sister, will they look down on me?"
Han Youning said, "Most people like to praise the high and step on the low, if you don't care, they won't hurt you. You just need to be dignified and polite, don't grovel, don't stammer, don't force yourself, and you'll win today."
Han Qinglian's face was puzzled, "Then why am I here today?"
Han Youning smiled, "You don't get any benefits from groveling, but you have lowered your value, which is despicable. There is no shortage of beautiful people who go today, talented and learned, noble people, rich people who rival the country, no matter what you deliberately show, it is all an axe to make others disgusted and laughed."
There is another thing that Han Youning didn't say, when you are not strong enough, the talent, beauty, wealth, status, and even the admiration of men will become your sin, and you will be attacked by many people.
Han Qinglian thought for a moment, "So, I just need to be myself and keep to myself?"
Han Youning applauded, "People who can figure this out are enough to be impressive."
Han Qinglian looked out the window, thoughtful.
There was a distance of half an hour to the Zhenguo Mansion, and Han Sixing was accompanied by guards.
There is a lot of traffic in front of the Zhenguo Mansion, and there are not only gorgeously dressed ladies who go to the mansion for the banquet, but also noble ladies and noble sons.
Usually this kind of banquet is like this, the daughter travels, accompanied by the mother and brother, one is to protect each other, and the other is to choose a daughter-in-law and husband for the children.
It's hard to get into the house by car. Most of the alleys are within the scope of the Zhenguo Mansion, and martial law is imposed on all sides, and the ladies no longer talk about the rules and get off at the Hanging Flower Gate.
As soon as Han Youning and Han Qinglian got off the carriage, a yellow-clothed maid warmly greeted them and greeted them with blessings.
"The county lord of Zhaoping, Miss Han San, the county lord is entertaining guests in the garden, so let the slave wait for you two here."
Han Youning smiled and asked, "How did you recognize us?"
The yellow-clothed maid replied with a smile, "There is a sign on the carriage of the Dingguo Mansion. The slave maid also heard that the county lord was delicate and calm, and the third lady could tell the difference by her hair bun before she reached the junior."
"You might as well tell by looking at her fat!"
There was a giggling sound behind him, and Han Youning didn't have to look back to know that it was Hu Mingzhu, the county lord of Nanzhang, who was here.
She is the only one who can speak so unscrupulously.
Hu Mingzhu was brightly dressed, walked up to Han Youning with his head held high, and squinted at her, "Your Dingguo Mansion has been very lively recently, are you proud of the spring breeze?"
Han Youning's expression was faint, "In the same way, the Buddha sees cause and effect, some people see anger, and some people see fame and fortune. The county lord is smart, why do you say?"
Hu Mingzhu was stunned for a moment.
Several noble sons passing by stopped and chuckled. Look at the clothing regulations, which county king is it.
Hu Mingzhu was immediately annoyed, and said angrily, "Han Youning! Are you laughing at me?"
Han Youning chuckled, "How dare you, I think today's county lord is fresh and pleasant, and I especially want to get close to it."
The arrogance on Hu Mingzhu's face immediately weakened, and he glared at the few sons next to him, "Look at what!"
The nobles left with a smile.
Someone laughed, "It turns out that this is the fat girl of Dingguo Mansion, although she has a plump body, her appearance is also delicate and moving, and she is a little delicate in addition to her brightness, which adds to the charm."
"Now that fat is popular in the capital, Brother Wang naturally thinks he is good-looking."
"It's not just this king who thinks it's good-looking, but the Seventh Emperor Uncle and the crown prince also think it's good-looking."
"I heard from His Royal Highness the Fourth Highness that on the birthday of the Seventh Emperor Uncle, only one person was invited to the county lord of Zhaoping, and the wine he brewed by himself,
Only the fat girl is allowed to drink alone. It won't be long before we have a little princess."
"Your voice should be quieter, and it will reach the ears of the Seven Emperor Uncles, and see if you have good fruit to eat."
"I'm not afraid to spread it to the ears of the emperor's uncle, I'm afraid to reach the ears of the prince, hahaha......
Hu Mingzhu leaned closer to Han Youning, remained arrogant, and asked in a low voice, "Do you feel that there has been a change?" I have not used the perfume to-day, and the incense on my garments is light."
Han Youning smiled, "I'm afraid everyone can sense the change. If it's spring, the county lord won't be able to attract butterflies."
Hu Mingzhu's face showed a look of joy.
This period is her most lively days, the smell on her body is disappearing, replaced by a fresh and pleasant fragrance, she is no longer afraid of the approach of men, and she no longer needs to be arrogant and domineering to hide her inferiority.
She kept Han Qinglian and the servant woman far away, and took Han Youning's arm and walked to the house.
"There's not much left of the bottle of Jade Fragrance Pill you gave me, do you still need to take it after eating?"
Han Youning said, "The Jade Fragrance Pill is a pure fragrance, just like we need to brush our teeth every day, and we can't fundamentally change our physique once and for all. Filth, every day is born, if it stops, the county lord will slowly return to the original state."
Hu Mingzhu was a little disappointed, but she quickly adjusted, as long as Hengzhu could keep eating this jade fragrance pill, she could always maintain her body fragrance.
She put down her nobility, got a little closer to Han Youning, took her arm and said, "Then I'll buy you a few more bottles, one at a time enough for a year!"
Han Youning's face was embarrassed, "The raw materials used in this jade incense pill are really precious and rare, I spent a lot of effort to get the raw materials, and I only made three bottles. Now I only have one bottle left in my hand."
Hu Mingzhu was anxious, "How is one bottle enough, you hurry up and continue to make it, how much silver can be made!" If I stop using it after a month...... Won't you go back with everything?"
She enjoyed the feeling of freshness and lightness, how could she possibly endure the filth and stench of the previous one again!
Han Youning was embarrassed, "Forget it, if I say it, I'm afraid the county lord will blame me for stealing the silver."
Hu Mingzhu said urgently, "You say yes! My mother made up ten miles of red makeup back then, and all the dowry was left to me, and I didn't spend it to keep it!"
Han Youning said with difficulty, "Ten thousand taels of silver for a bottle."
"Ten thousand taels! You might as well grab it!" Hu Mingzhu blew up all of a sudden.
Han Youning sighed lightly, "What did I say? I felt like I was grabbing money myself, so I just did it."
Hu Mingzhu glared at her angrily, "You can't see that I can't do without this jade incense pill, and deliberately sit on the ground and raise the price, right?" new
Han Youning smiled, yes, that's what happened.
She smiled soothingly, "Don't worry, County Lord, I have recently developed a new product to replace it, there is a precious material in it that has been replaced by something else, and the utility has been slightly reduced, but the price is also much lower, only a thousand taels of silver per bottle. Why don't you change this cheap one?"
