Ji Xun was worried that he would not be able to buy fresh fruit, so he took the initiative to recommend a few common gifts, such as candied dried fruits and so on. He wrote them down one by one. It seemed that he had not entertained the idea of buying fresh fruits. In addition to frozen pears, there were probably Nothing else.
After discussing the gifts, the question of which relatives and friends to give gifts to came up again.
Shen Yuyu crossed his fingers and said, "There are two parts of the palace, Prince Rui's Palace, General Wei Liang's Palace, brothers Zhao Han and Zhao Ke, and Marquis Jianning's Palace."
"Jianning Houfu? Are you sure?" Ji Xun asked strangely.
Since they plan to give gifts, the Emperor and the East Palace must do so. No matter how bad their relationship is in private, they still have to be polite on the surface, otherwise it will be disrespectful.
"Jianning Marquis has no contact with Ye Wangfu." Ji Xun was a little hesitant. Accepting the gift from Ye Wangfu means getting closer to Yewangfu. Not everyone is willing to accept this gift.
"Jian Ninghou will definitely accept this gift." Shen Yuyu said with a smile, "Although he is not a qualified father, but he is willing to let Mr. Zhang follow King Xuan for so many years, and he must have a common ground with his husband. Close to the heart."
Ji Xun nodded Shen Yuyu's nose: "My wife is very sharp in seeing things."
The prince was afraid of the Night King. There were really not many princes and houses in the entire capital who were willing to be on good terms with the Night King's Mansion. If Marquis Jianning wanted to draw a clear line with the Night King's Mansion, he would have kidnapped Zhang Neng back long ago.
"Hey, thank you for your compliment." Shen Yuxi raised her bright face, paused and spoke.
"Prince Xuan and Princess Leyang are celebrating the New Year at our house, so we won't have any plans for them. Ah Xun should think carefully about who else is close to the Ye Palace? Or is there anyone who is not hostile to Ah Xun?'
"Axun was the deputy general of the Zhenbei Marquis when he was young. The Zhenbei Marquis sent one copy, and there seems to be nothing else." "Okay, then six copies." Shen Yuyu smiled and nodded, "If there is anything new, I will buy more fruits and keep them for the house to eat."
"Well, let's try our luck tomorrow~~ Yu Yu went to bed and said, it's warm under the quilt." After saying that, he easily picked up his wife and went to bed.
The snow stopped the next morning and the sun shone lazily in the sky. This was a very rare good weather.
As soon as they heard that Shen Yuyu and Ji Xun were going to the pier to buy fresh fruits, everyone rushed to follow them, so they took three carriages, and brought another carriage to haul the goods, and headed out of the city.
In the ice and snow, the carriage moved very slowly, but fortunately the dock was not far away.
When they arrived at the place, Shen Yuehu and Ji Xun got off the car and went to the pier to inquire. Everyone else was waiting in the car, and no one had the idea of buying fresh fruit.
Shen Yuyu glanced around. She was very familiar with the errand boy in the space. She could recognize him at a glance. After a few glances, she saw an uncle standing next to a pile of boxes. He was the errand boy in the space. Uncle.
"Uncle, do you know where I can buy fresh fruit?" Shen Yuyu ran over with a smile and asked deliberately.
The uncle chuckled and said, "What a coincidence, girl, I shipped some kumquats from the south. We just got off the ship. If you buy them all, I will sell them to you cheaper.'
"Open it and take a look?" Ji Xun didn't quite believe it. Oranges were a very precious thing in the north, and they couldn't be found in the palace in such a winter.
The errand boy opened a foam box, which was filled with golden oranges. Ji Xun picked up one and pinched it. It felt warm as if it had just been picked from the tree.
Take a bite, you will find it is full of juice and sweet, it is so refreshing.
"I want them all." Ji Xun said hurriedly, as if he was afraid that others would come to snatch them from him, he picked up two and stuffed them into Yu Yu's hand, "Yu Yu, try them, they are absolutely delicious."
Shen Yuyu stuffed the kumquat into his mouth, took a bite and made an exaggerated hissing sound.
"Hmm, it's indeed delicious, Ah Xun, we must be very lucky." As he spoke, he smiled cheerfully. If Ah Xun could enter her personal space, he would probably treat her as a god.
Twenty boxes of kumquats, all packed in insulated foam boxes.
Ji Xun touched the foam box with a surprised expression on his face: "The material of this box is really strange. It is not only light but also insulating. It seems that Daqi is more advanced than Zhou in many aspects.
Shen Yuyu responded with a smile: "Isn't it? When we entered Beijing, weren't we left far behind by Charlotte's wedding fleet? Even the ships couldn't compare." Secretly, she carried the space with her and even automatically harvested it. There are all kinds of machines, and foam boxes are really the lowest-end stuff.
Ji Xun agreed without any doubts, and ordered his servants to carry the kumquats onto the carriage.
"I remind them from time to time, "Be careful and don't damage these boxes. Keep them for future use."
Shen Yuyu snickered on the sidelines. In modern times, aunts love to use this kind of foam box to grow vegetables. But here they are treated as treasures by their husbands, hoo~~
Seeing the servants carrying the boxes, everyone got out of the carriage curiously.
"Sister-in-law, what fruit did you buy?" Ji Feng danced with joy. The things my sister-in-law bought must be good things. The little guy was wearing gloves, an ear protection hat, and a scarf. At first glance, he looked no different from modern children.
"Kumquats, let's all have a try." Ji Xun asked people to put down a box, opened it and invited everyone to eat.
"Manager Jiang, come here and have a try." Shen Yue smiled and greeted the servants working.
The servants waved their hands hurriedly, "Thank you, Princess, no, no, no."
Shen Yuyu took a bagful of it and distributed three or four to each person. The servants quickly accepted it flattered.
"Thank you, Princess Ye." Everyone thanked them with touching faces. They had never eaten such precious things in their lives, and almost no one was willing to eat them. They put them all in their pockets, intending to take them home for their parents and children to try.
Shen Yuyu didn't say anything when he saw it. He thought about bringing out a few boxes during the Chinese New Year, and giving half a basket to each servant in the house to make them happy.
"Brother and sister-in-law, this fruit is too fresh, isn't it?" Princess Leyang picked up a kumquat and took a bite, then she shouted with stars in her eyes.
Even Bai Yixue had a delicious look on her face, "I have never eaten such sweet kumquats in Daqi, and they are seedless."
After Ji Feng ate one, his face was full of wonder, "Why does the taste of this kumquat sound so familiar? It seems to be a fruit I often eat. Where have I eaten it before?" He scratched his forehead as he spoke. .
"Brother and sister-in-law are so awesome, hee hee." Wei Jinyan looked up at Shen Yuyu and Ji Xun with her pretty face like porcelain and praised.
Prince Xuan rolled his eyes, and his voice was no longer lazy, full of urgency: "Brother and sister-in-law, I heard that the economy in the mansion is quite tight. How about I sell Prince Xuan's mansion and move it to Prince Ye's mansion? Partner?"
Zhang Neng ate with all his strength, stuffing it into his arms while eating.
Shen Yuyu noticed his little move and laughed loudly to expose him.
"Master Zhang secretly hid it and wanted to send it to Jianning Mansion, right? Hahaha, there's no need to hide it. This year's gift is indispensable for Jianning Marquis Mansion."
