Chapter 153 Door-to-Door Delivery(1/2)
The news about Xue Chengdong and Xu Zhi and Li spread, and the news that Xu Zhi was going to hold a flower viewing banquet at the Xu family also spread.
"She is crazy? If someone asks her husband's family to leave, he just wants to hide."
"The Xue family can't stand her for these years."
"Isn't the concubine of Prince Xuan pregnant recently? But the Xue family dared to live with each other at such a time, and even disregarded the face of Prince Xuan. It can be seen that she can't bear with her at all."
"I have met Mr. Xue several times. He is a gentle person. Which official does not like to go to Pingkangli nowadays? He does not like to go. He is also a rare person."
From officials to scholars, visiting prostitutes became popular. The so-called "Pingkangli" is the place where Huajie and Liuxiang are located.
"Yes, after all, it's just that the concubine was vicious and full of snakes and scorpions back then. Wasn't she beaten to death later? Mr. Xue had never felt any soft-hearted."
"Who would climb to the door of a businessman to go to her Xu Zhi's flower-welcome feast?"
"Unless Prince Xuan's concubine comes out in person..."
"But with such a shameful face, just to make a strong voice for the abandoned mother, wouldn't it be a shame that Prince Xuan's Mansion instead?"
The female family in Beijing scored very enthusiastically in private discussions.
The atmosphere in Beijing has been tense recently, which is a rare and relaxing topic.
As many people talk about it, they can't hide it from the Xu family.
Aunt Gui started to get angry first.
The biggest problem is...
"Where are there flowers to enjoy in our family?" Gui Shi had a bitter face, but she didn't dare to complain, so she could only stammer: "I don't know...I don't know what Qingyin thought?"
"Yes, there is no flower." Xu Zhi was also puzzled.
But she quickly said firmly: "Since Qingyin has done this, there is naturally her reason."
When Mrs. Gui heard the sound, she could only cry silently in her heart.
Well, at worst, we can only embarrass ourselves with us.
Maybe Qingyin will compensate them later... Qingyin has always been kind, and even the servants in the village have rewarded silver!
Gui took a breath and turned his head to instruct the stupid servants: "Come on a pot of tea..."
I have to think about where to buy flowers temporarily.
No matter whether the flowers are ugly or beautiful, I have to get a few plants anyway.
The servant went to cook tea with a voice.
What I cooked was the tea I got back from the farm.
Gui said, "What kind of Lanfei tea is cooked for my aunt to drink. I will drink the original one."
Seeing this, Xu Zhi couldn't help asking: "Sister-in-law is not used to drinking?"
Gui smiled embarrassedly and said, "How come you can't get used to it? The Lanfei tea is really delicious. It has never been read many books, so it can't be described. In short, it is excellent. But it is because it is good that it looks rare!"
Gui seemed to be afraid that Xu Zhi would not be happy, so he looked at her face and then continued, "Now... now your brother is just using his niece's Lanfei tea to swell people's appetite. Those arrogant princes and nobles have to treat rare things as gifts to make them look up to them. Such gold-like things can save some."
Xu Zhi was so amused and laughed.
After hearing this, she didn't suspect that Gui was asking for more on excuses. After all, Gui's brain was not that easy to use...
Xu Zhi said generously: "On the other day, you will tell Qingyin to ask her to give you more and not take it outside. Can we still lack that sip if we drink it alone?"
She now understands a truth that even relatives have to share their sweetness. Instead, she cannot use this to prove whether their family affection comes from sincerity.
Having said that, a servant came to report.
"Madam, aunt, outside..."
"Is Qingyin here?" Gui's eyes lit up.
"No, no."
Gui's expression suddenly faded.
The servant was angry and said, "I came here, a Ruke who claimed to be the surname Lin, said... she was here to deliver flowers."
When Gui was stunned, his face was filled with joy: "Hurry, hurry, please come in!"
Xu Zhi couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "When will you learn to breathe evenly before talking?"
"No, this day by day, it's so clean that people's heart is swaying." Gui also cursed, but the smile on the corner of his mouth could no longer be removed.
Not long after, the Ruke surnamed Lin was introduced into the door.
He stood under the stone steps outside the flower hall, and did not enter the door, but instead bowed politely: "I heard that the lady was going to hold a flower viewing banquet, so I came to send flowers with shamelessness."
Xu Zhi stepped out of the door and smiled in surprise: "It turns out it's Mr. Lin."
Mr. Lin raised his face and smiled, "Yes, it's me."
"No wonder Qingyin is confident and doesn't say anything else. I still remember that the flowers, plants, mountains and rivers in Mr. Lin's mansion are all the best!" Xu Zhi said in surprise.
Mr. Lin laughed loudly, and was not polite at this moment. He stroked his beard and said, "That's right, my wife doesn't know anything. I'm the best at serving orchids!"
Even Gui, who was a man with little knowledge, couldn't help but sigh: "Orchids are good! Orchids are good! Who has never loved orchids since ancient times?"
"There are orchids that have more fragrance and are still fragrant, and the lyrics that have less fragrance in one dry and five or seven dry but less fragrance. Mr. Huang praised it in "Youfangting". The sage even claimed that it has the 'the fragrance of a king'." Mr. Lin said slowly.
Gui couldn't understand the front, but he understood the back.
Anyway, it's just that it's very powerful.
She was so excited that she climbed down: "What a good thing..."
Mr. Lin nodded: "Yes, the petal orchid I sent this time is a famous product among the famous products. In addition, there are also the cold orchids that are highly praised by scholars, and the plum petal orchids that are the best plum in central Yunnan... There are two pots of these, which I took from my friend."
He has a wide range of friends, which is at this time he plays a role.
This is Gui's voice that he almost fainted.
The excitement on his face could not be concealed.
You should know that this orchid is just like the word Liu Xiuyuan, and it is hard to find a worth of money.
The more fragile orchids are, the more precious they are, the more difficult it is to cultivate and survive.
It has been a long time since those noble ladies can have a pot of petals of lotus orchids!
Otherwise, how could Mr. Lin ask someone to give me a good idea to appreciate it?
It can be seen that this thing is precious and elegant, and it is quite easy to take!
In contrast, all the appreciative jewelry is inferior and looks tacky.
"I wonder if the head of the Xu family is here? I'm afraid I'll have to stay for two more days. It's just because the orchid is so cute that I have to take care of it from the side."
Gui waved his hand and said, "We're just going to make the decision. It's really awesome to have someone like Mr. Lin staying in the mansion!"
Gui's speech was exaggerated.
This is determined by the business style.
But Mr. Lin felt that he was also straightforward, and the atmosphere was harmonious for a while.
Xu Zhi did not shy away from it and invited him to the flower hall for tea.
He also said, "By the way, Mr. Lin doesn't know? I have divorced my husband. There is no need to call him "Madam" again from now on."
Mr. Lin actually heard about it, but he couldn't figure out what was going on here. In order to avoid saying the wrong thing, he pretended not to know.
"Then let's call him "Auntie" with the master of the mansion." He said seriously.
Xu Zhi was embarrassed to say this.
People look at her as a powerful person, but they call her "auntie". This is so humble that they put themselves in the position of slavery.
But Xu Zhi couldn't think of any better title for a moment.
Just as I was worried, the servant came again.
This time he spoke a lot and said to Xu Zhi: "Auntie, the guest last time was waiting for you at the back door."
back door?
Then who else can be there?
Xu Zhi looked embarrassed. Although she knew that Gui and others knew nothing about it, she still felt a little awkward.
It seems, as if as soon as we part, we can't wait to have an affair with others...
Xu Zhi had no choice but to pretend to be calm and said, "I think I'm sending something..."
After saying that, he went to the back door.
Ning Que really gave something.
As soon as the door opened, he bowed and said, "I heard that the lady is going to hold a flower-welfare."
Xu Zhinun said, why would she call her "Madam"?
He wouldn't be as informed as Mr. Lin, right?
