Chapter Seventy-Seven: Chixi, Thank You for Helping Me
After Chi Xi exchanged a few words with Mrs. Chen, he stood up and made tea for their mother and daughter.
The tea leaves are taken out of the spiritual spring space, brewed with boiling spiritual spring water, and the fragrance of tea instantly diffuses.
Smelling the fragrance of tea, Mrs. Chen's eyes lit up instantly, and when Chixi handed the tea to her, she couldn't wait to look down at it, and couldn't help but ask: "Mrs. Xi, why does your tea smell like a floral fragrance?" The color of the tea is still so clear and green, I don't know where to find the treasures? β
This kind of tea, as the daughter of the richest employee in Xiangjiang County, and the wife of the county commander, have never seen it.
I don't know what kind of way a peasant woman in Chixi can come up with such good tea.
Chi Xi smiled, "This is jasmine tea, which is made from tea leaves and fresh jasmine flowers. β
Mrs. Chen had heard of flower tea, but the production process of flower tea was relatively complex, and it was even more difficult to make a high-quality flower tea.
She took a sip from her teacup.
The elegant and sweet aroma of tea instantly permeates the entire mouth.
She praised again and again: "Mrs. Xi, this tea tastes elegant and sweet, and the taste is long, which is really a good product." I wonder if Mrs. Xi still has leftovers, can you sell me some? β
This kind of good tea, not to mention that she has never drunk it, is afraid that even those women from rich and noble families rarely see it.
Her mind came alive in an instant.
Chi Xi's face was embarrassed: "Mrs. Chen, if I have a surplus in my hand, let alone sell it to you, what does it matter if I give it all to you?" But these precious things, my father-in-law only occasionally got half a tael, and we were reluctant to drink it on weekdays, so it was only today that Mrs. Chen and Miss Chen came to take it out for the first time. β
Half a tael of tea leaves, and not much.
Save soaking, and you can soak it for twenty or thirty times at most.
The excitement in Mrs. Chen's eyes instantly dissipated, and she regretted it: "Then forget it, this kind of tea is not easy to come by, and there is not much to think about." β
Chi Xi smiled: "Although there is not much tea, but Mrs. Chen likes it, so I will bring the rest back to Mrs. Chen." β
Mrs. Chen's eyes lit up instantly: "How can this be made?" You haven't drunk the tea you got so hard! If I were to bring it back, wouldn't you even be able to taste it? β
"Good tea for nobles, a little heart, and please Mrs. Chen don't refuse."
Seeing that it was already past the time for lunch, he drove the carriage from the county seat, and if the speed was not fast, it would take at least an hour, so Chixi went to cook the rice.
Mrs. Chen and Chen Wanqing are also people who have eaten good food and good food, but after tasting the food cooked by Chixi, they are full of praise.
Originally, Mrs. Chen was very hesitant to come to this trip, but at this time she felt that this trip was not in vain.
A meal that can be enjoyed by both the host and the guest.
Mrs. Chen did not shy away from asking: "Mrs. Xi, some time ago, my brother was arrogant and accidentally offended Mrs. Xi, do you remember?" β
Mrs. Chen's younger brother was molested in Chixi, and was later taught a lesson by Xi Dazhuang, and was personally ordered by Chen County to be punished with a cane for 30 years and sentenced to three years in prison.
It's been more than two months since that incident.
Chi Xi thought about it carefully, and after a while, it suddenly dawned on him: "I don't know, but it's Young Master Fang?" β
When Mrs. Chen saw Chi Xi remember, she grabbed Chi Xi's little hand and said with a smile: "Mrs. Xi, I know that this kind of request is really difficult for you, but although the younger brother is arrogant, his nature is not bad. β
As long as Chixi loosened her mouth, she would have a reason to persuade her family to release her.
Chi Xi sighed lightly and said, "Since Young Master Fang has already known his mistake, I naturally shouldn't hold on to it. β
Mrs. Chen's eyes showed a smile, and she said happily: "Mrs. Xi is generous, I really didn't see the wrong person." β
Pond Creek is not generous.
It's that Mrs. Chen's opportunity to bring up this matter is too delicate.
Chi Xi didn't want to offend her for the time being.
Mrs. Chen did not stay long, and after Chixi gave her and Chen Wanqing a jar of noble lady ointment and beauty ointment, the mother and daughter laughed and prepared to get into the carriage and go home.
Chen Wanqing pulled Chi Xi aside, blushed and said to her, "Mrs. Xi, thank you for your beauty cream, which makes my skin much fairer and smoother." I have already made a wedding appointment some time ago, and the wedding date is scheduled for March next year, and I will invite Mrs. Xi to come and have a glass of wedding wine. β
Although Chen Wanqing is the daughter of the county magistrate.
But it is not common to have pits on the face because of frequent acne on the face.
Her fiancΓ©, who had decided to marry her when she was young, quit her after clinging to the eldest lady in Kyoto Castle, which caused her to feel inferior and unwilling to see people.
But now, her whole body is like a freshly ripe cherry, crystal clear, white and red.
I don't know how many times better it looks than before.
Some time ago, a young master from a state family came to propose marriage, and he did not dislike that she had a marriage contract, and her father and mother were very satisfied, so the marriage was decided.
She came today to thank Chixi in person.
"Congratulations."
Chi Xi said with a smile: "Miss Chen is kind-hearted, gentle and graceful, and she will definitely be able to reconcile with Xianggong Qin Se after marriage, and grow old together." β
Chen Wanqing's cheeks turned even redder, she smiled and took out a small wooden box from her cuffs, handed it to Chi Xi, her eyes flashed with crystal light, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Xi, this is a little heart, please accept it." β
Seeing Chen Wanqing's sincere expression, Chi Xi accepted it with a smile.
Mrs. Chen had already gotten into the carriage and opened the curtain to urge: "Qing'er, why don't you get on the carriage soon?" We're going to get back to the government before it gets dark. β
"Okay, here we go."
Chen Wanqing answered, turned around to leave, and stopped as if she suddenly thought of something, turned her head and asked Chixi, "Do you have a sister?" β
Chi Xi looked puzzled: "Yes, I don't know how Miss Chen knows?" β
Chen Wanqing frowned and reminded: "Your sister has a bad heart, she has looked for me in the county, you should be more careful." β
Chixi didn't expect this stubble, and immediately said gratefully: "Thank you for the reminder, I will pay more attention." β
Chen Wanqing opened her mouth, but she stopped talking, and Chi Xi just wanted to ask what was going on, so she sighed lightly and turned away.
Send Mrs. Chen's mother and daughter away.
Seeing that it was still early, Chi Xi was about to call Xi Dazhuang to go up the mountain to keep an eye on Wang Dahu's group to build a tile kiln, and saw Zhang Xiongtian, who had not been seen for a long time, walking towards their house with Chi Tao'er.
"What are you looking at there? It's windy at the door, why don't you hurry into the house? β
Xi Dazhuang had just finished chopping the firewood at home, and was about to carry the chopped firewood into the kitchen, when he looked up and saw that Chixi was still standing at the door after sending people away, so he raised his voice and said: "My husband just added firewood to the brazier, you hurry back to the house to warm up." β
It's almost winter, and it's not too cold when you're busy.
But when I stood at the door and blew for a while, I felt a biting chill.
Chi Xi shrunk his neck, rubbed his hands and walked to Xi Dazhuang's side, and sighed lightly: "Zhang Xiongtian is here with Chi Tao'er, and he will go to the door immediately." β
"After coming back for so many days, I finally can't stand it anymore."
Xi Dazhuang shook his head, put down the firewood in his hand, reached out and grabbed Chixi's cold little hand, rubbed her hand to warm her, and pulled her to the house: "Your hands are so cold, don't go up the mountain with your husband for a while, just bake the fire at home." β
In the past few days, he took Wang Dahu and others to the mountains to farm and build tile kilns, and he did not emphasize that he did not want Zhang Xiongtian, but Zhang Xiongtian never appeared.
He didn't ask much.
Unexpectedly, he came to the door with Chi Tao'er.
