"Oh my God, this girl won't really give me a knife, will she?"
The eldest lady asked with wide eyes.
Qinghuai's mother also felt short of breath.
She also felt that it was really possible for Qing Mulan to do such a thing.
"Uh...there is indeed a sword, but it was given to me by my husband."
Tie Zhui scratched his head and said, "The gifts Miss Mu Lan gave to the two ladies are other things."
"That's good."
The two Mrs. Qing breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Just as he was talking, the housekeeper came over to announce that Han Feng had arrived with a gift.
"Quick, let someone carry it in and let me take a look."
The two ladies urged at the same time.
But I didn't have any expectations in my heart.
Deep down in their hearts, they were thinking about the same thing as the concierge. Jinchuan was just a remote mountainous place. What good things could Jin Feng and Qing Mulan give?
It's just some gold and silver.
Qing Guogong had received Qing Mulan's letter a long time ago. Looking at the solemn expressions of Tie Zhui and Luo Lan, he had some guesses, but he did not make any breakthrough.
Soon, Han Feng walked into the study with several boxes tied with red cloth.
"What does it smell like? Why does it smell so good?"
The eldest lady sniffed and asked curiously.
"To my wife, this is the smell of soap."
Luo Lan smiled and opened one of the small wooden boxes.
The fragrance that could only be faintly smelled just now came to my face as the wooden box was opened.
For a moment, the two ladies thought they had entered a spice shop, as the house was filled with a rich aroma.
"Soap? Why does this name sound familiar? I seem to have heard it somewhere."
The eldest lady looked thoughtful.
After all, she was a woman. She usually lived in seclusion in a large courtyard, and the only people she came into contact with were women, so all kinds of information were very lagging behind.
Qinghuai's mother had been paying attention to Jinchuan and was a little better informed. When she saw this, she reminded her in a low voice: "Sister, have you forgotten that the Zhou family got a batch of soap some time ago?"
"Yes, I remembered that Mrs. Zhou had a scent all the time. I asked her what sachet she used, and she told me that she used soap."
The eldest lady finally remembered: "Later I asked the maid to buy it, but I searched all over the capital and couldn't find it. Where did Lan Lan get it?"
"The soap was developed by my husband and is currently only sold in Guangyuan County and surrounding areas."
Luo Lan smiled and replied: "The Zhou family's soap should also be bought from Guangyuan."
"The soap was actually developed by Mr. Jin?"
The eldest lady's eyes widened in shock, and then she showed a look of joy: "So I will have soap to use in the future?"
Women's love for fragrance is innate, otherwise the eldest lady would not have asked her maid to travel all over the capital to find soap.
Later, when I couldn't find it, I vaguely expressed my desire to Mrs. Zhou, but Mrs. Zhou said that she only got a few boxes.
For this reason, the eldest lady felt regretful for several days.
Who knew the soap was actually made by Jin Feng.
"Huair and Mr. Jin are close friends. My sister will naturally not be short of soap in the future."
Qinghuai's mother smiled and said: "If you want to use it, just tell your sister. My sister will write to Mr. Jin to ask for it. I think Mr. Jin will give me some respect."
With the relationship between Qinghuai and Jin Feng, she is indeed qualified to say this.
After being suppressed by the eldest lady for so many years, she now feels quite proud.
I also have a better impression of Jin Feng, whom I have yet to meet.
"The second lady is serious. Before Luo Lan set off, the husband specifically told her that the wife is the mother of the Marquis. To put it bluntly, the husband has always regarded the wife as his elder."
Luo Lan said with a smile: "If Madam wants soap in the future, just send the maid to tell Luo Lan."
Regardless of whether Jin Feng had said this before, Luo Lan's words made Qinghuai's mother extremely happy.
"Mr. Jin is also a lord, and his future is limitless. Where does the idea of reaching high places come from? In fact, Huair's letter also said that although he and Mr. Jin are not brothers, they have experienced life and death together, and they have long been like brothers."
The eldest lady standing aside had an unnatural look on her face.
Although her two sons were the legitimate sons of the duke, in terms of merit and ability, they were completely outshone by Qing Huai, the bastard.
Even Qinghuai's friends now are countless times better than those of her two sons' bad friends.
Normally, her two sons would bring their friends to the mansion and it would be impossible for them to meet Duke Qing.
However, after receiving a greeting from Jin Feng today, Qingguo Gong immediately asked the housekeeper to push forward the previous appointment and meet Iron Hammer and others as soon as possible.
Not only did they choose the study room, but they also sent someone to call her and the second lady. It was obvious that Jin Feng was not treated as an outsider.
The second lady also saw this and dared to say that Qinghuai regarded Jin Feng as his biological brother.
Luo Lan was chosen by Tang Xiaobei, so naturally she was not a vegetarian.
It was necessary to please Qinghuai's mother, but she did not dare to neglect the eldest lady.
Seeing that the eldest lady's expression was wrong, she quickly smiled and said: "Sir, we have developed a total of twelve scented soaps, so twelve boxes are a set."
After speaking, he took out a tray from the wooden box and held it in front of the eldest madam: "This is a set. If madam doesn't dislike it, you can try it out first. If there is a taste you particularly like, you can tell Luo Lan and Luo Lan will look back.
Let people prepare more."
"Mr. Jin is interested."
The eldest lady's expression returned to normal, and she smiled and asked the maid to take the tray.
Then Luo Lan gave another set to the second lady.
Both ladies were very curious about the soap, but they couldn't open it on the spot in front of the hammer, so they had to take a glance at it from time to time.
After being married for many years, Duke Qing Guo had become very familiar with them and said, "You two should go back first. I still have some business to talk to Mr. Jin's people."
"Then we won't disturb the master."
As if they had been granted amnesty, the two ladies quickly had the soap brought to them and left.
Qing Mulan had written to Duke Qing Guo before, saying that he planned to give the soap to Concubine Qing, but Duke Qing thought this was a bit unreliable and didn't take it too seriously.
After all, the royal treasury is all-encompassing, so how can a mere piece of spice be discerned by the emperor and his concubines?
But now seeing the performance of the two ladies, Duke Qing was a little shaken.
"Is soap really so magical? Mu Lan praised it in his letter as if it were like a flower."
"Sir, in fact, the reason why Mr. and Miss Mu Lan are so confident is that apart from the soap's attraction to women, there is another reason."
Luo Lan smiled and opened another box, took out a box of soap, then opened the lid and held it in front of Duke Qing.
Duke Qing stared at it for a while, then suddenly walked to the big box and took out another box of soap from the middle.
I opened it and looked at it for a few times, then asked the butler to open all the soap sets in the box.
"No wonder Mu Lan said so much. As expected of Mr. Jin, I think Your Majesty and Concubine Qing will definitely like this gift!"
Duke Qing sighed, and then said to the housekeeper: "Make arrangements to send the things to the palace as quickly as possible to Concubine Qing!"
