After the first assistant's wife is reborn

Chapter 327
The remaining wives came here purely to flatter. Those wives who wanted to marry the Xie family had already taken their children to recite poems with the Xie family's concubine children after lunch. , or throwing pots for entertainment.

Xia Sichan doesn't know anything about tea art, but she can still tell when she drinks it.

I took the Ru porcelain teacup from the maidservant, looked at its color, the soup was clear and green, smelled rich and fragrant, and its foam, pastry, and flowers looked pretty good.

Several other ladies also picked it up and tasted it, only to find that the taste is sweet and full of fragrance.

So, several ladies praised without hesitation: "Miss Xie deserves to be blessed by Zelan's heart, she is ingenious."

"Mrs. Xie teaches daughters well"

"Congratulations, Mrs. Xia, you will have good luck in the future!"

When the ladies spoke of compliments, they not only praised Xie Lanzhi, but also Mrs. Xie, and congratulated Mrs. Ding by the way.

Mrs. Xie was overjoyed, and said humbly, "It's not as good as you say."

Ding also laughed and said: "Yes, there is good food!"

After drinking tea, everyone moved to the back garden to enjoy the scenery.

Enter the hanging flower door.It is a majestic and huge rockery, and two bluestone roads have been carved out.But it is the best place, with splendid flowers, lost mountains and rocks, lotus pond carved pavilions gathered the painstaking efforts of thousands of craftsmen, hibiscus flowers are brilliant, colorful butterflies are flying, looking under the green leaves among the flowers, it is sparkling again. The water is still.

It's spring, when it's warm and cold.

All kinds of flowers are also in full bloom, peach blossoms, winter jasmine, roses, poppies, magnolias in flower pots and roses climbing the wall.
Today's visit to Xie's family was the most relaxing and pleasant banquet. During the period, no matter the wife of the aristocratic family or the lady of the boudoir, everyone looked at Ding's mother and daughter with kind and flattering smiles.

And everywhere they put their mother and daughter first.

Power is such a good thing!
All of these were given by the grandfather Wei Ziqian, and also deserved by the mature Xia Sichan himself.

This time at the banquet, there was no such thing as the harmful design in the notebook written by Xia Sichan.

Everyone was talking and laughing at Yanyan's flowers and scenery, and had a pleasant day.

By Shen Shi, the sky gradually became cloudy.

Ding looked up at the sky, worried about the rain, the road in front of Xie's house was not good, and it was full of potholes on sunny days, so it must be more difficult to walk when it rains.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Ding said to Mrs. Xie Mrs. Xu who was by her side: "It's getting late, let's meet again next time we have a chance."

Mrs. Xu also looked up at the sky, the sky was overcast and there was no sunlight to be seen.So he nodded and said: "Since this is the case, the concubine will not leave her in-laws and the Duke's wife."

How could she not know the road conditions in front of her mansion?
After the rain, the road is muddy.The carriage passed by, splashing mud and water.

The other ladies and ladies also bid farewell to Mrs. Xu.

In other words, when the protagonist is about to leave the stage, the supporting actors who came to support them must also leave the stage.

Mrs. Xu kept sending people to the gate of the mansion, and reluctantly said: "My mother, Mrs. Guogong, I am sorry for the lack of hospitality today. I hope I will come to visit more often in the future."

Ding said with a cheerful smile: "My family, don't be so polite."

"Where, where, thank you Madam for your hospitality, I will definitely visit when I have time." Xia Sichan smiled slightly.

Afterwards, those wives and ladies who were about to leave also came over to bid farewell to the Ding mother and daughter one by one: "Mrs. Xia, go slowly," "Mrs. Guo Gong, go slowly."

After Xia Sichan and her mother-in-law Ding separated on the side road, she opened the curtains and saw passers-by hurrying on the road. When the carriage passed a familiar shop, she suddenly remembered that it was her dowry shop 'Huiyuan Bookstore'.

The business of the bookstore is not bad year after year, mainly because of the light of this year's spring.

Examiners who came to Beijing for the exam needed to buy the latest current affairs and political opinions published in the capital, as well as rare copies.

All of these are not the information they can get away from the capital.

Furthermore, those from poor families also want to use the name of picking books to take the opportunity to read the contents of the book, which is better than nothing.

Most of the books they usually read are manuscripts that have been hand-written many times. The content in them has long been different from the original version. How can there be a book in a bookstore right in the middle?

Once the spring is over, the business of the bookstore, which is taken for granted, plummets.

These days, the business of the bookstore is quite sluggish, so I still asked Shopkeeper Liu to hurry up and write the book.

Thinking of this, let's call Kang Cheng over when we get back.

Since Cheng Jun left, the only two shops in Xia Sichan's hands have been handed over to Kang Cheng.

Anyway, capable people don't care about the management of two more shops.

Xia Sichan was thinking about the bookstore in her heart, when it began to rain lightly outside the window.The raindrops hit the roof of the carriage densely, and there was a swishing sound.

The carriage passed Xiangyuzhai, the most famous pastry shop in the capital, and hurriedly asked Ma Guichun, the driver of the carriage, to stop.

Ma Guichun, wearing a bamboo hat and coir raincoat, stopped the carriage, wiped the rainwater off his face with his sleeve, and pulled the carriage to the side of the road.

Lu Tao hurriedly opened an umbrella and accompanied Xia Sichan into Xiangyuzhai.

The little guy in the store rushed forward politely: "Madam, please!"

Xia Sichan knew that at this time there must be no basket with exquisitely carved patterns for pastries, so she could only go to the store to pick some pastries that Xiao Shenrong liked to eat.

After Xia Sichan entered the door, she was dazzled by the dazzling array of pastries. Here are: Hua Tang Cake, Lingfen Cake, Sugar Steamed Crispy Cheese, Chestnut Cake, Crisp Honey Food, Honey Fried Carved Flowers, Lion Cake and Fine Flower Cake , each layer of Qianhua cake noodles is sandwiched with preserved apricots and black dates, as well as green fruits, small dates, walnut kernels, dried apricots, etc. The combination is just right, and it tastes sweet and not greasy.

Without the beautifully packaged cage for morning rise, the price is not so expensive as a matter of course.

But in comparison, it is still more expensive than other pastry shops.

It was rare for Xia Sichan to go out to buy pastries in person, so she bought a few yuan for each item, and shared it among the people in Hui Yuan and Nanny Wang.

The store clerk quickly wrapped it in thin yellow paper.

The shopkeeper of the pastry shop grinned happily.

Originally it was raining outside, so I thought that if the cakes could not be sold today, they would sell them on credit tomorrow at a discount.

Unexpectedly, a big customer came and bought almost half of the pastries in the shop.

The shopkeeper, who was happy, saw Xia Sichan's extraordinary appearance and exquisite clothing, and guessed that her identity was either rich or noble.

Busily took out a basket carved with exquisite patterns that was only available tomorrow morning and gave it to Xia Sichan: "Madam, this is a gift from the shop. I don't mind it. Accept it."

When Xia Sichan saw it, it was just what he wanted.

She didn't expect to bring a suitcase back to Xiao Chen Rong, but she didn't expect that the shopkeeper would really know how to do business, so he gave her one.

"Thank you shopkeeper." Xia Sichan thanked her, and picked out a few pastries that little Shen Rong liked to put in the food box.

　Xia Sichan: The spring is over, and the bookstore is out of business, so let's publish the book to gain popularity.
