This kind of dessert is cheap, and it only costs less than 10% of the genuine dessert, but the taste is the same delicious. Ji Meiniang looks down on a large group of mud legs in the countryside and will definitely not entertain guests with real desserts.
At this time, Ji Meiniang was choked after hearing what Wang said to belittle her daughter. The person who was originally ulterior motives didn't know what to say to deal with it.
She knew that Wang didn't like her daughter, but she didn't expect that Wang was so mean to her daughter.
Although he is in a country family, whose daughter will do the work of cleaning pig manure in pigpens? It’s thanks to Wang’s willingness to do it.
Not to mention that in the case of so many people, he belittled his daughter so much.
Immediately, Ji Meiniang coughed and said, "Sister, it's not me who said you, how could anyone belittle her daughter so much? He Xi is a child who is always well-behaved and sensible, so he should feel sorry for him. Sister, go and call He Xi here.
Let’s have tea and have fun together. The girl’s family has a short flowering period, so some people in her family have felt distressed in the past few years. I missed this time when I was having tea together. I don’t know when everyone can have tea together!”
After a pause, he saw that Wang still disagreed, and was also angry. He could only call Liu Sangen's eldest son Liu Sangniu and call Jiang Hexi to come for tea.
Wang disagreed and said, "Oh, Mei Niang, don't waste your tea and snacks. That girl is born to be a rough girl. She can't beat her with a stick. She looks like she has no future for the rest of her life.
”
Ji Meiniang was too lazy to pay attention to this confused man Wang, so she only greeted a few girls beside her for tea and snacks.
In the countryside, there was really no food. A few girls looked at the coarse tea and desserts beside them curiously.
In this border town, tea is a valuable item. The Liao people and the Jurchens are willing to pay high prices to buy tea. Poor families like the villagers have no food for even coarse tea.
Ji Meiniang took out a plain tea cup and poured rough tea for each girl, saying, "The wife and lady in the city are popular to drink tea. Everyone, how does this tea taste like? This is the Liao people, you can get a liang of silver.
Only then can I buy such a small piece of tea, and even higher tea, I’m afraid I can’t buy such a small piece of tea for dozens of taels of silver!”
I heard that tea is so expensive, and the little girl and the mother who came to Liu's house to play were curious and picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The coarse tea didn't taste very good, but no one dared to say it. After all, this is a noble person.
The tea that I drank, "good things" I didn't know how good I was when I drank it, was a joke.
At this time, Ji Meiniang took out the silk flowers and said, "I like young girls the most. Everyone is in a happy mood when they look at it. This is the head flower I brought back from the city. You little girls are all the same.
Choose one!”
When she walked out with a beautiful gift box, the girls looked up and looked around. After hearing Ji Meiniang's words, they became more and more moved.
Ji Meiniang opened the gift box, and there were about a dozen brightly colored and dazzling flowers, including red, pink, yellow, purple, etc.
Looking at such a lifelike silk flower, the girls beside them couldn't take their eyes away.
Seeing this, Ji Meiniang became more and more proud and said casually, "In the city, everyone wears gold and silver, and such silk flowers can be seen everywhere. The big girls and little wives are all dressed up very beautifully. Ouch,
The big girl and little wife in our village are much better-looking than the people in the city, but they just don’t dress up well, which is a pity.”
As he spoke, he handed the silk flower beside him to Liu Hongxing and said, "Hongxing, take it over and let the little sisters choose one."
"It's so bad!" Liu Hongxing agreed happily. She had already seen a rose-red red apricot flower, which was exactly what she had named. She immediately took the silk flower and directly picked the red apricot flower away.
Next, several girls in the village picked a silk flower, borrowed a mirror, and put it on their heads.
Ji Meiniang took out a makeup box next to her, took out the foundation blush, waved to Liu Hongxing, and said, "Hongxing looks so beautiful, but her skin is a little darker. Come on, Aunt Fourth will give you some makeup!"
After hearing this, Liu Hongxing's eyes were very happy and said happily, "Thank you, Aunt Fourth!" He immediately sat in front of Ji Meiniang and asked Ji Meiniang to put makeup on her.
Ji Meiniang took inferior fat powder to apply on Liu Hongxing's face. Soon, she applied the dark skin to a white layer. She then used the fat to apply on Liu Hongxing, then combed Liu Hongxing with a beautiful hair, turned her head, Liu Hongxing
It's like a different person.
"Oh, Hongxing looks different, just like a different person."
"Hong Xing looks as fair as a city lady."
"The silk flowers on the Hongxing head are so beautiful! They look better."
...
A burst of praise sounded in my ears, and Liu Hongxing was so happy that she seemed to fly up again.
Next, Ji Meiniang applied rouge and water powder to several other girls, and painted eyebrows, which made the girls beside her very happy.
Looking at all the girls' happy look, Ji Meiniang said with regret, "What a pity, if you wear silk and satin, how beautiful you should be! It's a hundred times better than the little girls in the city!"
As soon as this sentence was said, Fu Lanniang, Zhao Yinchun and others on the side looked at the patched clothes on their bodies and felt very uncomfortable.
Why did they have such a beautiful appearance in the countryside? How beautiful would they be if they entered the city and wore beautiful silk and satin?
Jiang Wanying looked at the silk clothes on Ji Meiniang's body and couldn't help but say, "Auntie, can you... lend me a try on the clothes on your body?"
Ji Meiniang looked at Jiang Wanying's white little face and smiled, "Yes, what's wrong with this?"
As he spoke, he invited Jiang Wanying to follow her into the room.
A moment later, Jiang Wanying walked out wearing Ji Meiniang's satin clothes. The satin clothes were 90% new, with beautiful flowers embroidered on them, and the workmanship was very exquisite. When Jiang Wanying touched them, her heart beat faster. She looked in the mirror and then,
In the end, she could only go to the inner room and change into her own clothes.
When Wang saw the girl he didn't see, he took advantage of Ji Meiniang, so he felt so distressed.
In the end, although she also asked Ji Meiniang for a silk flower, she did not take advantage of the rouge and water powder again.
At this time, Wang vaguely regretted not bringing Jiang Hexi to have tea.
Ji Meiniang later ordered Liu Snail but did not call Jiang Hexi to the Liu family. At the tea party that day, Ji Meiniang did not see Jiang Hexi.
At the tea party, Ji Meiniang also found a few girls to tell her purpose privately.
"I know the shopkeeper of a shop in the city. The shopkeeper's wife just happened to find two personal maids. She is not a buyer. She can sign a contract for three years. The shopkeeper's family is a big businessman. She is generous in giving money for one month.
You can make three hangs of money!”
"When I work for three years, I can save about 100 taels of silver. After three years, I will return to the village and buy a shop in a nearby town to do business. I will live a good life in the future. It is not easy to wear silk clothes.
?When you have money at that time, it will be very easy to wear and have good food."
After a pause, Ji Meiniang said again, "I think the girl is my own person, so I have put this huge advantage on you. Aunt, I'm still playing in the village for three or five days and I'm going back to the city.
God, go home and think about whether to follow your aunt into the city.”
The Wang family naturally received a separate "holiday" from Ji Meiniang, and left the above "good job" to Wang family.
After hearing this, Wang really wanted to be several years younger, so that he would have the opportunity to follow Ji Meiniang into the city to make a fortune.
After returning home, Wang scolded Jiang Hexi very much and said, "I really can't go to the table. Your fourth aunt asked you to go over for tea later, so you can follow me quickly. I really don't know what's going on."
Jiang Hexi glanced at her, and was still chopping firewood in the firewood next to her, and ignored Wang.
Wang sighed and said, "This work of chopping firewood was made by a man in the family. What can you do if you chop firewood for a lifetime? I'm afraid that you can't save a single money in a year."
Jiang Hexi still didn't look at her, and Wang was also angry and said, "Your fourth aunt introduced a huge business to you, saying that she knew the shopkeeper, and her wife needed two girls to serve her, and she would take a month to do so.
You can pay three hangs for wages. Go back and follow your fourth aunt into the city. They are not buying people, they just sign a three-year contract. After working for three years, you can earn more than 100 taels of silver.
It won't delay your marriage."
Jiang Hexi paused the axe in his hand, looked at Wang coldly, and the gloom in his eyes flashed, and said, "I won't go!"
The guilt in Wang's eyes flashed, and then he was a little angry and said, "Can you still harm you? This is a great life. Only a fool like you don't know how rare you are. Just be obedient.
Follow your fourth aunt into the city.”
After a pause, he said, "Food and spicy food, wear gold and silver, don't make mud legs."
"I like to be mud legs!" She threw down her axe and turned her head and left, "I won't go anyway, don't answer her!"
As he spoke, he threw the axe aside and turned around and ran out.
During this tea party, Ji Meiniang successfully aroused the vanity of several girls.
In the next few days, several girls secretly carried their family members to Ji Meiniang's house to borrow clothes and jewelry. Ji Meiniang agreed to any request, and she agreed to anyone who came to borrow clothes.
Fu Lanniang also wanted to borrow clothes and jewelry to wear. She looked at Jiang Hexi, a good sister, and wanted to take Jiang Hexi to take advantage of her. Jiang Hexi hurriedly pulled her and said, "Silly girl, there is no free lunch in the world, and they have good clothes."
Why do you use it for free with rouge?”
Fu Lanniang was stunned by these questions.
"Girl Xi, what do you mean? They are all from the same village. Do they want us?"
Jiang Hexi lowered his eyes and said, "There is the best person in a village to cheat, right? Did they brag about how wealthy the city is? They also said that the wife around the master lacked a maid?"
