Chapter 29

"Sister Fairy, do you need hibiscus cream? It's white and beautiful!" Zhang Fang asked without hesitation.

I thought that the madam who was coaxed to be happy would immediately take out money to patronize, but who knew that she didn't.

"Yo, although I'm indeed a fairy, I won't buy your street stalls." Madam touched her headgear, glanced around mockingly, and then laughed triumphantly.

"With such a little trick, you still want to cheat my money?" Madam sneered, with a look of contempt on her brows.

It was originally a lively scene, but at this moment the air suddenly became quiet, which was a bit eerie.

Embarrassed, Zhang stopped arranging the goods suddenly, but after a while, he adjusted and continued to deal with the goods on the stall.

Seeing this, Zeng Xiaoxiao deliberately ignored the provocation from the lady just now, and quickly walked to Xu Fengning's side with lotus ointment.

"Madam, seeing your elegant temperament, beautiful and generous, you must also be a person who knows things."

"Our hibiscus ointment, moisturised in the hand, looks natural, and when applied on the face, it also has a faint fragrance of hibiscus." Zeng Xiaoxiao said while applying it on his hands, trying it out.

Seeing Zeng Xiaoxiao's actions made Zhang Fang very distressed. Such a small box costs 20 taels, and it was gone after a few taps.

"That's right, there really is a faint scent of hibiscus." Xu Fengning flirted with Zeng Xiaoxiao, then took a deep breath and said with satisfaction.It seems that it was deliberately done to show the lady just now.

"Mrs. Ma, why don't you try it before commenting?" Xu Fengning said with a smile.

Hearing Xu Fengning speak, Madam Ma's haughty expression eased a little.After all, Xu Fengning is a first-rank imperial order, so she should give some face no matter what.

"For Madam Xu's sake, I'll take the risk and try it." Madam Ma daubed some on the back of her hand with a look of reluctance.

"The texture is just so-so." Mrs. Ma said casually.

She thought she had covered it up well, the joy in her eyes should not be noticed by others, but Zeng Xiaoxiao had a panoramic view of all this.

"I think it's good." Xu Fengning ignored the lady's words, and signaled the maid beside her to buy two boxes and take them home.

"See, Mrs. Xu said yes, that thing must be good. What does Mrs. Ma know?"

"The Palace of Zhongyi has always been an expert in using money wisely. Mrs. Xu has already said it, so it must be true."

"The smell of wine is in the deep alley, that's right."

"It seems that there are many good things, but we haven't found them yet."

"Look, if I apply it on my face, does the skin become more tender?"

Ladies and gentlemen of various prefectures discussed each other with each other, and also communicated with each other, fighting and fighting, and their voices became louder and louder, as if deliberately provoking Mrs. Ma.

Although each box is 20 taels, the hibiscus paste on Zhang Fang's booth was quickly wiped out.

Seeing that the hibiscus ointment on the stall was about to be sold out, Mrs. Ma, who had been pressing for a long time, finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Then, then I'll buy a few boxes too, and send them to my poor relatives. I don't need the things on the street stall." Mrs. Ma, who was causing trouble just now, said angrily.

"How much do you need?" Zhang Fang still greeted him with a smile, as if he no longer remembered what happened just now.

"Twenty boxes." Madam Ma said weakly, as if she didn't want anyone to hear her voice.

"Okay, this lady has twenty boxes." Zhang Fang's voice was very loud, as if on purpose.

At this time, Zeng Xiaoxiao was secretly laughing, and the corners of his mouth couldn't stop rising.In order not to let everyone find out, she could only pack her bags silently with her head down.

"Just now I said that the things are bad, but now I buy the most." A lady seemed to be watching the excitement, whispering to the lady next to her, the voice just happened to be heard by everyone.

"Keep your voice down, who doesn't know that Madam Ma will take credit for something good when she sees it. I bought so much and don't give more than half of it to Liu Ruxuan." The lady next to him agreed.

"That's for sure. If she doesn't flatter General Chu, how can she stabilize her husband's position in the court?"

"Fortunately, this woman's family is rich, otherwise she wouldn't be able to withstand her torment."

The two whispered for a while, and everyone heard everything.

Mrs. Ma naturally also heard the conversation between the two of them, and her face turned red and white with anger.Even so, she held back and did not lose her temper.

If you have money, you don't care what other people say.What's more, in Madam Ma's eyes, these two are just small characters, not big figures.

Had a big fight with them, and when he went back, his husband might say that he caused trouble.

"Little brother, I'll give you two taels of silver more. You can send ten boxes of these things to General Chu's mansion." Mrs. Ma pulled Zeng Xiaoxiao aside and said quietly, looking at other people who were picking and choosing from time to time. Ladies, I'm afraid they are thinking wildly.

"Okay, it must be delivered on time." Zeng Xiaoxiao secretly delighted, no, the opportunity has come.I can just take the opportunity to investigate and see what Chu Jianguo's family is up to.

"That's fine, I'll visit you often in the future when things are done." Mrs. Ma said happily, not forgetting to smile smugly and look provocatively at the woman who was whispering just now.

Zeng Xiaoxiao nodded and gestured to Madam Ma to rest assured.

Xu Fengning looked at Zeng Xiaoxiao, wondering what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd, so she could only watch quietly from the sidelines.

Zeng Xiaoxiao explained to Zhang Fang who was next to him for a while, then he took his things and headed towards General Chu's mansion.

At the corner of the street, a man wearing a bamboo hat followed.

Inside General Chu's mansion.

"Madam Ma asked me to send this to Madam Liu." Zeng Xiaoxiao hugged the box and waited respectfully in the courtyard.

Today Liu Ruxuan took Chu Jiaojiao into the palace, and she hasn't come back for a while.

"Just wait. Our wife hasn't come back yet." A servant looked at Zeng Xiaoxiao, seeing that she was dressed similarly to him, and her clothes were also exactly the same, so his attitude was not very polite.

"Okay, if it's inconvenient, I'll just wait here." Zeng Xiaoxiao lowered his eyebrows and spoke calmly, without any emotion.

"Our master is discussing matters in the study, you just wait here, Madam will be back soon, don't run around." After the young man finished speaking, he was busy with his own affairs.

After a while, Zeng Xiaoxiao craned her neck to wait and see, and found that the boy had gone far away, so she hurriedly searched for Chu Jianguo's study.

If she is lucky today, she might make some major discoveries.

Zeng Xiaoxiao was wearing a servant's uniform, which she specially customized according to the uniform of the servant in Chu Jianguo's mansion, so even in General Chu's mansion, people thought she was a new face at most, and they would not doubt her at all.

Finally, after winding around in the long corridor for a long time, Zeng Xiaoxiao finally heard Chu Jianguo's voice.

"This must be the study." Zeng Xiaoxiao thought to himself.

So she tiptoed to listen outside the study door.
