Cheng Qingwen looked at the people in front of her with clear eyes and said sincerely: "That's really embarrassing, but you guys have such good acting skills, you can't blame me for admitting my mistake."
The pavilion chief's wife turned pale, and quickly stopped Mrs. Wang and ordered the maid to take him down.
Cheng Qingwen did not follow the maid, but walked to the window nearby and looked at the landscaping of the garden outside.
The head of the pavilion was also an official, and the decorations and landscaping in the palace were very particular.
She was looking at the orchids in bloom in the yard, and there was a person standing next to her.
Cheng Qinghan turned around and saw that it was Su Yunwei.
She was wearing a pink dress, a begonia on her head, her eyebrows were lightly swept, and her lips were lightly lipsticked. One look at her showed that she had been carefully dressed.
"Why don't you go in and sit down?" Su Yunwei blinked and asked with a smile.
"Listening to some plays once is enough, but listening to them too much is boring." Cheng Qingwen lowered his eyes and glanced at her: "I was still thinking this morning, why do you have to ask me to make cakes? Just now I stood in front of the window. I want to understand.
Well, if I don’t come, how will this play that you two sisters have carefully arranged continue to sing?”
Su Yunwei didn't dare to look her in the eyes, lowered her eyes and said, "I don't understand what you are saying. There is no theater troupe at home today."
Cheng Qingwen gave her a funny look: "Although I am from a farmer's background, I am not stupid. The methods you and your sister use are not very clever. I have seen even better ones."
Who hasn't seen the palace fighting drama? Any one of them would be better than these two.
Su Yunwei opened her mouth and wanted to defend, but she didn't know where to start, so she could only continue to pretend to be stupid.
"I don't understand what you are saying anymore. You are from a farmer's family. Did someone bully you?"
"Yes, it's right there. Do you want to help me bully them back?" Cheng Qingwen pointed at the group of wealthy businessmen's wives and said.
Su Yunwei didn't know how to answer the question. No matter whether she said yes or no, it was wrong.
Cheng Qinghan looked at the face full of emotions in front of her and smiled.
She didn't want to stay here any longer, so she got up and walked out.
After only a few steps, the pavilion chief's wife caught up with him and said loudly.
"Miss Cheng, the reception at the banquet was not done well, which made you unhappy?"
Cheng Qinghan looked at the glances around her and frowned, wondering which song she was singing.
"Miss Cheng, this is the first time for me and you to have a full moon banquet. If there is anything wrong, please bear with me."
Cheng Qinghan looked at the woman in front of her and lowered her head slightly, showing her full humility.
"Madam, you misunderstood. I'm just feeling unwell and need to go back and rest for a while."
When the pavilion chief's wife saw Yuan Qi coming out of the male guests' table, she turned to him and said, "Master Yuan, I don't know what made Miss Cheng angry at the banquet. Can you please ask?"
Cheng Qingwen smiled contemptuously in her heart. This woman really knew how to act. It was clearly her arrangement, yet she still asked in such a serious manner.
"Madam, don't worry, Huanwan is here to see me." Yuanqi said to the two of them with a faint smile on his face: "Please return to your seats, we have something to say."
Of course the pavilion chief's wife still wanted to stay. After all, she was so loud just now because she wanted to confirm Cheng Qinghan's dissatisfaction with her family.
But looking at the person in front of her, she had no choice but to sit back with the person behind her.
Moan Qi watched them leave, then he leaned into the ear of the person next to him and asked softly: "Are you leaving?"
Cheng Qingwen nodded: "This banquet is really boring. One drama after another is coming at me. I might as well make pastries in the shop."
"Didn't you say that you want to recommend pastries to the ladies?"
"Recommend? Those wealthy businesswomen almost didn't show their disdain on their faces." Cheng Qingwen rubbed her swollen and painful forehead: "I didn't know what the pavilion chief's wife was going to do, so I hurriedly chased her out."
"Did you not eat anything?"
"Yes, how do you know?"
Motoqi looked at her and smiled: "Because if you leave the banquet without eating, it means that the host did not entertain you well and makes you dissatisfied with the host."
"ha?"
"Everywhere at today's banquet was very reasonable. Even the mean people couldn't fault you. I think they chased you out just now to let everyone know that you don't understand the rules."
Cheng Qingwen was speechless and didn't know what to say for a moment. After a while, she said: "You mean, I can't leave now and I have to look at their faces here?"
Yuan Qi shook his head and said with a smile: "If you want to leave, we will leave immediately without looking at anyone's face."
Cheng Qingwen blinked and made a decision immediately: "Then let's go."
"Okay." Yuanqi nodded with a smile, took her hand, and walked out.
Everyone had been paying attention here. As soon as they saw the two people walking out, the pavilion chief and his wife quickly followed them.
"Master Yuan, Master Yuan, is there someone who is not well-received in the house? Why don't you try to eat before you leave?" the pavilion chief said anxiously as he followed behind.
The pavilion chief's wife also said quickly: "Yes, although there are no delicacies in the house, I would like to ask you to have a taste."
This anxious flattery was just because I was afraid that he would leave.
In the minds of these two couples, Cheng Qingwan could leave without eating, but Yuanqi would definitely have to eat before leaving. The meaning of his departure was completely different.
Outsiders will spread the news that Mr. Yuan has a problem with the pavilion chief. If the news reaches the ears of County Magistrate Wei, he may be dismissed from office at any time.
"You two stay, Huanwan is not feeling well, I need to send her back to rest." Yuanqi stood in front of the carriage and helped her onto the carriageway.
The pavilion chief's wife rolled her eyes and hurriedly walked to the carriage: "Miss Cheng, you didn't eat anything just now, why don't you come down and have some pastries."
Cheng Qingwen opened the curtain, looked down at the people in front of him, and said with a smile: "No, today's banquet is very exciting. I can't arrange the few dramas for you."
When Motoqi saw this, he didn't say much and just got on the carriage.
The director of the pavilion watched the carriage go further and further, and said angrily to the people next to him: "What have you arranged for today?"
"What can I arrange? It's just that those wealthy businessmen's wives couldn't stand her shabby appearance and said a few words." When the pavilion chief's wife heard this, her face suddenly changed: "This girl is really awesome.
Hold grudges and keep a few jokes in mind."
"It's just relying on Yuan Qi's love. When Yuan Qi returns to the capital, I think she will still be so arrogant." The pavilion chief snorted coldly, turned around and walked in.
Cheng Qinghan had nothing to do when she returned to the store, so she got out of the car and walked on the street with Yuan Qi.
The two of them passed by a stall and happened to hear the stall owner arguing with the customers.
"Cabbage is easy to grow, and it only costs one penny per catty. Peanut seeds are rare and difficult to grow, so they are naturally more expensive. I only sell them for fifty pence. Look at other stores. They only sell for seventy or eighty cents, right?"
"Forget it, let's weigh half a catty. My son insists on eating it. In the past few days, the price of peaches has increased to 20 cents. How can poor people afford it? Just eat some cabbage every day and just go around.
.”
Cheng Qingwen listened to this conversation and immediately grasped the key.
Peanuts cost fifty cents per catty, and peaches cost twenty cents per catty. If you plant some peanuts in the vegetable patch in the backyard of your store, you will harvest at least three to four hundred catties of food.
She further processed it and made it into cakes, so this new product is here!
In this dynasty, many seeds were hard to come by, and the things grown were expensive to sell.
Isn't this a coincidence? Isn't she a big seed owner?
With this thought in mind, Cheng Qinghan and Yuan Qi walked around the street for a long time and took a look at all the food they probably had.
When I returned to the shop, I immediately exchanged peanut seeds with the system. I spent ten points and still had 2201 points left.
For two days in a row, Cheng Qinghan made cakes during the day and cultivated the vegetable patch in the backyard at night.
After finally planting all the seeds, she collapsed on the ground, not even having the strength to get up.
Fortunately, Song Qiaoqiao and Lian Zhi were able to help and made the cakes much faster, otherwise she would have been exhausted.
This body is incomparable to myself in the 21st century. Wherever I am now, I won't be able to do it.
Hearing the woman outside calling for dinner, Cheng Qingwan stood up and staggered out.
After walking a few steps, her vision went dark, and the next second, she fell to the ground.
Everyone heard the noise and ran over quickly. Seeing her fainting on the ground, they all panicked. Song Qiaoqiao quickly drove a carriage to ask for the doctor, while the others hurriedly carried her to the room upstairs.
Doctor Wu from St. Ant's Church felt his pulse, walked outside and said, "He is suffering from excessive fatigue and fainting."
"Then...doctor, can she, can she..." Cheng Hua'er was so frightened that she couldn't even speak clearly.
"It's not a big deal. Just grab a few doses of medicine and rest." Doctor Wu wrote the prescription and said, "As a grandmother, you need to give me some advice, but you can't just let it go just because you are young.
She is so squandering her body."
Cheng Hua'er responded while crying: "When will Huan Huan wake up?"
"I'm afraid I won't wake up until night."
After Doctor Wu wrote the prescription, he said to everyone: "Which one of you will come with me to get the medicine?"
Song Qiaoqiao quickly responded and said, "I'll go with you."
With that said, he invited people into the carriage.
Cheng Hua'er felt uncomfortable, walked into the room, looked at her unconscious daughter, and couldn't help crying again.
Aunt Liu stood aside and comforted him for a while, and then persuaded him to come down.
When Cheng Qingwen woke up, it was already late at night.
As soon as she moved, the woman lying next to her noticed it immediately and stood up quickly.
"Huanhan, are you awake?"
Cheng Qingwen nodded and asked in a hoarse voice: "Mom, what time is it?"
"It's almost Yin time." Cheng Hua'er looked at it worriedly and said, "Are you hungry? Did grandma make something for you?"
Cheng Qingwen's stomach growled in response, and she nodded with a smile: "I am indeed hungry."
"Okay, grandma will do it right away." Cheng Hua'er said as he walked out.
Cheng Qingwen was just about to close her eyes and sleep for a while when she heard someone come in.
At first glance, it was Song Qiaoqiao who looked apologetic.
"It's so late, why haven't you slept yet?"
Song Qiaoqiao rubbed the hem of her clothes and said softly: "I can't sleep, Huanhua, it's all my fault."
"Ah?" Cheng Qingwen was confused by this sentence: "Sit down and say, I can't hear you clearly."
"If I hadn't been able to make pastries, you wouldn't have fallen sick from exhaustion."
