Allure of a Country Maiden

With the help of Aunt Rong, Xiaoer's family bowed to the ladies present according to the rules and rank.

He also accepted the courtesy of some ladies and ladies whose rank was lower than his own.

Everyone here is not curious about the family members of Shengpinghou Mansion. That is a lie. Everyone is staring wide-eyed to see what kind of gifts Shengpinghou Mansion brings out.

I heard that the old lady and the second lady of Shengpinghou Mansion went to Buzhuang and Yinlou to buy several thousand taels of things a while ago, and they were sent back to Shengpinghou Mansion to settle the bill. Shengpinghou could only mortgage Yuci Mansion to pay the bill. They even dared to mortgage the imperial gift residence. Anyone who didn't offer the imperial gift as if it were a treasure had no sense at all. It was simply embarrassing.

However, those relatives of Shengpinghou's family were also shameless. When they were guests in other people's houses, they actually had to pay for their purchases. A mud-legged person is a mud-legged person, and he has no etiquette, justice or shame at all!

Now, no family in the imperial capital can even afford ten thousand taels. So everyone here knows that Shengpinghou Mansion is very poor. What decent birthday gift, cabbage, can such a poor mansion provide? egg? Or maybe it would be better to give him a sheep.

Some people couldn't help but chuckle when they thought of this.

Mrs. Liu took the brocade box from Jasmine's hand and handed it over personally, "This is a small gift that our family has prepared. I hope the old lady will accept it. I wish the old lady to be as blessed as the East China Sea and live as long as the Southern Mountains."

The box looks pretty, but I don't know what's inside. Is it just fake, everyone thought.

The old lady knew about the relationship between her grandson and the Shengping Hou Mansion, and she also knew a little about their family. The gift her grandson gave her last year was bought from them, so she would not underestimate this gift. She knew it. Even if it is a cabbage, it must be unusual, and you may not be able to buy it if you have money.

She had eaten the high-quality food from Shengpinghou's family, and it was so addictive. Moreover, she found that after eating so much of their high-quality food, her old health problems had not recurred for a long time, so if she really gave him cabbage, She is also happy.

The old lady took the gift box and opened it with a smile.

A thousand-year-old ginseng lies quietly on the red velvet.

Suddenly there were several gasps in the silent room.

The old lady was also stunned when she looked at the thick human-shaped wild ginseng.

"How old is this ginseng? It can't be thousands of years old, right?" Madam Guogong asked uncertainly.

"It's a thousand-year-old ginseng! I saw one similar to this one at the Queen's place!" the Prime Minister's wife affirmed, and then glanced at the old lady of the Zhongyong Hou Mansion with envy.

The old lady came back to her senses and glanced at Mrs. Liu. How many thousand-year-old ginseng did her family have?

I heard from my grandson that the thousand-year-old ginseng the sixth prince gave to the queen was also bought from their family.

"This is too expensive."

Is it really a thousand-year-old ginseng? Who wouldn’t collect this kind of precious medicinal material that is priceless but a treasure? Who would be willing to give away this life-saving medicine? After all, when it comes time to use it, you won’t be able to find it anywhere!

Madams here have seen many century-old ginseng, but not many people have seen thousand-year-old ginseng. If what you are asking for is not related to your wealth and life, no one would be willing to give away precious medicinal materials such as thousand-year-old ginseng and thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum as birthday gifts.

Are the people in Shengpinghou Mansion stupid, or do they really have no money to buy decent gifts? No, if you sell this ginseng, you only get eight thousand taels instead of ten thousand. How can you not have money to buy gifts!

"It's okay, madam, if you don't mind it, it's all dug out of the mountains. It's just a little bit of effort. It can't be considered valuable, and we still have it at home." Ms. Liu said with a smile.

Mrs. Liu deliberately revealed that there was a thousand-year-old ginseng in her home, which was also taught by Xiaoer in advance. There were so many medicinal materials in her space, and she also grew a lot of medicinal materials at home. She planned to open a medicinal medicinal materials wholesale shop. These people listened. I'll definitely inquire about it.

When the lady in the room heard this, her eyes widened! Are there any more at home? Did you promise to dig one? sky! Is this a radish grown at home? Just dig it when you say it?

Do you have another one at home? No one here thought that there were many more, it was surprising enough that there was one more! I wonder if Shengpinghou is for sale? Some people are alive in their hearts.

Where is the hometown of Marquis Shengping? No, you have to do some research and send some experts to dig up ginseng in the mountains there. It’s not a thousand-year-old ginseng, it’s good to dig out one hundred-year-old ginseng, some people thought.

"Old Madam, last time I promised Brother Di to dig a ginseng root for him next time. I thought of giving it to Brother Di. Brother Di must also use it to honor the old Madam, so just treat it like Brother Di honors the Old Madam. Yes. You must accept it, otherwise I will become a dishonest person." Seeing that the old lady was a little embarrassed to accept it, Xiaoer persuaded.

"You are a child who is very good at talking. You have a clever mouth. If you say that, I will be doing you injustice if I don't accept it." The old lady pretended to be angry.

The old lady covered the box, placed it on the table aside and said with a smile, "The hometown of Marquis Shengping must be a place of great beauty."

Only a place that condenses the spiritual energy between heaven and earth can grow so many thousand-year-old ginseng and give birth to such outstanding people. Otherwise, her husband-in-law would not have been living there every year for a while just to plant flowers and grass. The climate in the imperial capital was not good and it was difficult to grow many flowers, so the climate there was very suitable. She originally thought that his skills were not up to par.

She has heard a lot about their family from her grandson and grandson. She has seen many people and has many abilities, so she will not underestimate them at all. But how can a person who can teach a daughter who has a loving mother look down on others because of their background?

"Look at Mrs. Shengpinghou. I heard she is the mother of five children. Look at her skin and her waist. They are even better than when I was a girl! If she hadn't been wearing a woman's bun, I would still be wearing it. I thought she was a girl! She must have come from a place where she was very drunk." Di Zhaowei's mother, Mrs. Lu, who is now the general's wife, also praised Xiaoer's family when they saw how much they valued their son's words.

"No, it's not a place with beautiful mountains and rivers and powerful spiritual energy that can grow thousand-year-old ginseng and people with such clear water! Madam Shengpinghou, do people in your family often dig ginseng? And do you sell your ginseng? ?" Mrs. Shangshu also agreed.

"I haven't noticed it even if you don't tell me, Madam General. Madam Shengpinghou, your skin is really delicate, with no blemishes at all? Could it be that you have eaten too much ginseng for thousands of years? Do you sell that ginseng at your house? I'll pay eight I bought it for a thousand taels!”

"I have ten thousand taels!"

Xiaoer didn't want to turn someone else's birthday banquet into a medicine shop, so she quickly said: "Madams, don't worry, my family is planning to open a medicine shop. If there are ginseng, it will definitely be sold."

Everyone also realized that the occasion was not right, so they all changed the topic and started talking about skin care.

Not long after, news came that the queen had arrived.

I had a fever two days ago, which made my whole body hurt. I still have a low fever today, but my head and body no longer hurt, so I started updating. I haven’t updated for another two days. I’m so sorry!
