Poor Lady

"The tea has arrived?" Qi Surong took the box in Ping'er's hand, opened it, smelled it, and said happily, "It really is clear mist tea."

The tea leaves are bright green in color, mellow in aroma and delicate in appearance. It is indeed the Qingwu tea produced by Tianhu Mountain where her master lived in the previous life.

Ping'er said: "Master Gu said that the output of this tea is limited, and he only picked six catties, and here are three catties of it."

Qi Surong nodded, she naturally knew the preciousness and rarity of Qingwu tea. Even if this kind of tea was transplanted, it would not grow its original taste. If she hadn't been fortunate enough to meet a master in the last life, she would not have known that there were such superb tea leaves in the world.

After deeply smelling the fragrance of the tea, Qi Surong said to Ping'er, "Ping'er, please help me divide the tea into five parts, I want to give it to someone."

The first thing to send is Ge Lao Gu Yin. It is not convenient for her to visit now, so she can only send some delicious and fun things from time to time. Although the value is not high, she focuses on her heart.

The second is their "new neighbor", the former prime minister Wang Qinghe. Qi's father was not good at dealing with interpersonal relationships, and Wang Lao moved in for several months, but he never came to visit. Identity is one thing, and arrogance is another. Father's attitude towards unfamiliar people is often alienated. In order not to come to the door to make trouble and leave a bad impression on Wang Lao. Qi Surong felt that he should keep a little distance temporarily, but let Wang Lao know about Qi's family. It is too deliberate and too tacky to send gold and silver treasures, antiques and treasures, but it is just right to send tea.

Although it is only five or six taels, this kind of high-grade clear mist is equivalent to one tael of tea leaves and one tael of gold, so it shouldn't be too rude. In addition, Qi Surong also distributed a few cans of Yunwu Ice Spring. Gu Jinyun packs a lot of this kind of ice spring, and it is also very good for making other teas.

Finally, Xu Chen. This teacher, who has helped her a lot, never asks the cause and effect, and communicates frankly. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid I can only stay in the boudoir, empty of ideas but unable to implement. Even with Jinyun's help, some things can't be left to others and must be handled by her.

The remaining two, one for the father, the other spare.

In the palace, Wang Qinghe was chatting with several friends when a servant walked in and told him, "Master, the Qi family sent someone to send a gift."

"Gift?" Wang Qinghe asked strangely, "Why do you give gifts for no reason?"

The servant respectfully said: "The Qi family said that on the day the master moved in, he didn't meet him.

Wang Qinghe Fuxu smiled and said, "This move is not like what General Qi did."

An old man in blue next to him said, "Indeed, when did Qi Shuo know the etiquette so well?"

"Haha." Another gray-clothed old man laughed, "Actually, this old man really appreciates Qi Shuo. Although he acts impulsive, he is better than being open and honest."

Finally, the middle-aged man in his forties said, "The Qi family is different now, what else can they give away?"

Wang Qinghe then said to the servant, "Bring the gift."

The servant gently placed the gift on the table.

In front of him is a beautiful gift box and a white bottle.

"Is there wine in the bottle?" the middle-aged man asked.

Wang Qinghe opened the bottle cap, but could not smell the slightest aroma of wine, but what was inside was obviously just a bottle of water.

A few people present, except Wang Qinghe, all frowned without a trace.

Wang Qinghe opened the gift box again, and a faint scent of tea rushed to his face, filling the entire room.

"It smells good." The old man in gray snorted.

"Good tea." The easy old man picked up a tea leaf and praised.

"I didn't expect it to be tea?" Wang Qinghe said with a smile, "You are all tea lovers, do you know what kind of tea this is?"

Several people checked carefully and all shook their heads.

The old man in gray said, "It's hard to tell just by looking at it, why don't you just soak it in a pot?"

Several others agreed.

Wang Qinghe's eyes fell on the bottle and said: "So, the water in this bottle should be used to make tea. Come on, go and fetch the old man's tea set and let Lian Niang cook it for us. Tea."

The same scene also happened in Yingshu Pavilion and Censor House.

The so-called "You make tea songs like writing history, not only taste tea but also taste scholars." The true taste of tea is like tasting life. Pine wind bamboo stove, holding pots and calling each other. Good tea and good water complement each other.

Whether it is a past life or this life, Qingwu tea is unknown. This kind of tea can not produce 30 catties a year. People who don't understand tea only regard it as something to quench their thirst; people who understand tea regard it as a treasure. The most beautiful tea in the world is created by heaven and earth, and can be planted by extraordinary people.

Gu Jinyun's letter to Qi Surong expressed the intention of planting this kind of tea. The quality may not be as good as the original Qingwu tea, but as long as the environment is suitable and the planting is reasonable, at least it can be a medium-quality tea. If such a mellow tea cannot be passed on to the world, it would be a waste of time.

Qi Surong naturally expressed her support, but asked him to protect the wild tea trees and try not to build tea gardens nearby. She didn't want to destroy the quiet place where the master lived temporarily in his previous life.

In addition to tea, Qi Surong occasionally sent gifts to Miss Zhang, Zhuang Qiao'e and some other relatives and friends. After a long time, people with a heart will be surprised to find that most of the people Qi Surong is close to have escaped the battle for the succession of several princes, and will gradually rise in the future to become a party of power.

Holding the tray, Qi Surong slowly walked towards his father's study. During the time she was at home, she often worked with the cook to develop medicated meals, and according to Dr. Jiang's advice, she would recuperate her family's body.

Because of the turmoil in prison, Yunrong Xiuzhuang's business was sluggish, and she only made a living by selling small items. Although she earns less, she has a lot of free time. Her original intention of opening the store was to get through the most difficult initial stage. Now, with Gu Jinyun's share of several businesses, his life is quite rich. The only thing left to care about is the health of the family.

Walking to the door of the study, Qi Surong was about to knock on the door, but faintly heard her parents' conversation inside.

"Master, do you think this is done? Wouldn't you be too wronged Rong'er?" Qi's mother hesitated.

Father Qi was silent for a moment, then said: "It's a bit shabby, then sell my jade pendant and add a pair of gold bracelets and a pair of gold hairpins to my daughter."

"That jade pendant is an auspicious jade left by your father-in-law. How can you sell it easily?" Qi's mother refused, "Is it better to find another way?"

"My Qi Shuo's daughter, marrying a businessman has already wronged her. If she doesn't even have a few decent dowries, how will she handle herself in her husband's family in the future?" Qi's father said solemnly, "This jade pendant is very valuable. For the happiness of my daughter, I believe my father will not blame me."

Outside the door, Qi Surong's arms trembled slightly, but she didn't expect her parents to prepare a dowry for her. Hearing that her father sold her personal jade pendant in order to buy an extra pair of gold bracelets for her, I couldn't help but feel sad.

In the last life, my father never sold his jade pendant, even if he was so poor that he could not eat three meals a day. For him, that jade pendant was not only a gift from his elders, but also his last remaining dignity.

Indeed, although the Qi family has more than enough to live now, compared to the past, it is a world of difference. It takes a lot of money to buy a dowry, and in her parents' eyes, it is absolutely impossible for her to come up with inferior goods. But if all the top grades are used, the quantity will appear shabby.

Qi Surong took a deep breath and gently knocked on the door: "Father, mother, can my daughter come in?"

There was silence for a while, and then the door opened, and Mother Qi let her in.

Qi Surong put the tray on the table and said with a smile, "Dad and mother, come and drink ginseng soup?"

While speaking, her eyes fell on the boxes of gold and silver jewelry.

"You came just in time, look at these jewelry, do you like it?" Mother Qi pulled Qi Surong to the side and asked.

On the couch, there are neatly placed silver-edged tins with double happiness, a hairpin with blessings, agarwood beads in a plate, two wish-fulfilling crowns, four-point red gold and silk inlaid beads and stone belts, a pair of long jade hairpins, and a pair of white jade. Long hairpins, a pair of golden phoenix with wings and beaded hairpins, a pair of silver gilded phoenix hairpins, a pair of red gold chisel bracelets, two pairs of jade rings, two pairs of white jade rings, etc. There are more than 50 pieces. It is estimated that the price of these objects is no less than four thousand taels.

According to the original specifications of Qi Mansion, the dowry must be made up to 888 pieces. In comparison, these are indeed shabby. It is no wonder that the parents did not tell her in advance.

Qi Surong stretched out her hand and stroked these jewelry one by one. She was rich and noble in the past, but she never thought they were so precious. Each one showed the care of her parents for her.

Her eyes were a little sour, Qi Surong held her mother's hand tightly and said with a smile, "Mother, thank you, I like it very much."

"You don't need to comfort your mother, how can you look at these jewelry? You can't marry you in a beautiful way. It's useless for your mother." Qi Mu's expression was dim.

"Mother, you have done enough for your daughter." Qi Surong said warmly, "In the past, your daughter was ignorant, which made you worry a lot. In the future, you and your father don't have to work too hard. Let your daughter handle the dowry by herself. ?"

"Are you talking nonsense again?" Mother Qi comforted her heart and scolded with a smile, "How can a woman prepare a dowry for herself?"

Qi Surong smiled, leaned on her mother's shoulder, and said, "Okay, I will give my mother all the money for my private house, and she will help me."

"Your private money?" Mother Qi shook her head and said, "You should keep it for future use."

Qi Shuo and his wife didn't believe how much private money Qi Surong could have.

"Don't underestimate your daughter." Qi Surong raised her chin and said, "My daughter can spend tens of thousands of taels if you say less."

The couple looked at her in amazement at the same time. Father Qi frowned and asked, "Where did you get so much money?"

"Father and mother, do you know why I am willing to marry Gu Jinyun?"

"It's not because of him..." Mother Qi lowered her face.

Qi Surong said quickly: "No. My daughter once got a few brewing recipes by accident, and asked Gu Jinyun to brew it on her behalf. The money earned is divided into 27%."

"You actually trust him so credulously?" Father Qi said solemnly, "Aren't you afraid that he won't accept the account?" He didn't even doubt where she got the formula. Things are not difficult.

Qi Surong smiled and said, "It's not a loss to see a person's character with a few recipes."

"Because he keeps his word, that's why you decided to marry him?" Mother Qi said.

"This is one of the reasons." Qi Surong said calmly, "Father, mother, when the Qi family was in trouble, did Jin Yun's kindness to the Qi family ever waver? Who was it when her daughter was plotted against? Running around for his daughter? When he was beaten by his father as a shameless man, did he ever justify his actions? Did he ever say a word of complaint? Father, mother, what kind of person is he? Chu. No matter what his status is, his daughter is willing to marry him."
