Famous peasant girl has a little field

Chapter 388 Lying is not good
Miss Song turned her head and ignored Shen Xiaoyu, but had a low-key conversation with Miss Shuyao on the other side.

Shen Xiaoyu raised her eyebrows indifferently, she was not very interested in the dishes on the table, so she put down her chopsticks and just drank the light wine in the glass.

Compared with the wine in the space, the wine in the Du Mansion can only be regarded as a light wine, but judging by the praise of the ladies for this wine, I don't know whether it is deliberately flattering or the wine is really a good wine.But this wine is not even comparable to the wine Han Mei made recently, these ladies who have never seen the real good things are really pitiful.

Seeing that Shen Xiaoyu was just drinking, Du Yuwen, who was a little far away, asked: "Miss Shen, this wine is from Wangchen from Zuixianfang. It costs five catties and ten taels of silver per jar. I wonder how it compares to the wine made by Mrs. Shen?"

"Danqin, didn't you say that Mrs. Shen is a butcher of pigs? Why is she still brewing wine?" Shuyao turned to look at Huadanqin with a puzzled expression on her face.

Hua Danqin was taken aback when she heard the words, and looked at Du Yuwen, seeing that Du Yuwen didn't look like she was joking, and realized that the sisters were being teased by Shen Xiaoyu that day. Yes, if it proves not to be true, where will their faces be put?
The two sisters looked at Shen Xiaoyu with resentment in their eyes, but Shen Xiaoyu looked at Hua Danqin suspiciously, and said innocently: "Miss Hua, although I don't think there is anything wrong with butchering pigs, why do you want to tell others about my mother?" Is it a pig killer? Obviously my mother has been making wine to support our brothers and sisters all these years. Besides, my mother is so weak that a gust of wind can blow her away. Does she look like she can kill a pig with a butcher knife? Are you lying like this? good!"

Under the eyes of everyone condemning, Hua Danqin smiled bravely and said: "This is a misunderstanding, I also heard it from others, but I didn't think about it, but it was a rumor, I punished myself with three cups, which is regarded as a gift to the sister of the Shen family. "

While talking, Hua Danqin drank three glasses of wine in a row. After the three glasses of wine, the ladies looked at Shen Xiaoyu no longer as repulsive as before. Obviously, in their hearts, making wine is easier to accept than killing pigs.

Especially the two Miss Hong who entered the Du Mansion with Shen Xiaoyu before, after learning that Shen Xiaoyu was Shen Hongxuan's daughter, they showed some enthusiasm, and at this time they even became intimate with Shen Xiaoyu. Hong Linglong still raised her glass to Shen Xiaoyu, "Ms. Shen seems to like these wines very much. I wonder how this wine compares with the wine made by Mrs. Shen?"

Shen Xiaoyu thought for a while and said: "The wine made by my mother is sold to the restaurant for a hundred taels a jar."

Wangchen sells ten taels of silver for a jar, Shen’s wine is sold to restaurants for a hundred taels, and the restaurant sells it for takeaway at least 200 taels a jar. You can tell which is better at a glance. Everyone is silent, only Huadan Feng said unwillingly: "One hundred taels of altar? Is it a big altar of one hundred catties?"

Seeing that everyone looked at her like an idiot, Hua Danfeng didn't know what she said wrong.

Shen Xiaoyu said with a smile: "My mother's brewed wine has always been limited, and only ten jars are sold every month, and the one hundred catty jar has never been sold. Besides, Miss Hua thinks that I will use the one hundred catty jar for the same price as the five catty jar. Is it the small altar?"

Hua Danfeng blushed and stopped talking, the atmosphere at the banquet was a little awkward for a while.

In the past, everyone thought that Shen Xiaoyu's brother and sister were brought up by their mother in the countryside, and their lives must have been extremely hard. They thought she was a bumpkin who had never seen the world, and when Shen Xiaoyu talked to Miss Song, she treated her even more It's ridiculous to slap a swollen face and pretend to be fat while talking without knowledge.

But they don't want Shen Xiaoyu's mother and son to live in the country, but they are not short of money. It's not that they haven't heard of a jar of wine for a hundred taels, and they don't find it too unusual, and they have even seen more expensive ones.

But a jar of five catties of wine can be sold for a hundred taels, and ten jars are sold every month, which is 1000 taels of silver. Will Shen Xiaoyu's family be short of money?It's just that the shops in the homes of the young ladies present here dare not say that they can earn so much.

And whose family doesn't have some aunts or concubines to raise?In comparison, Shen Xiaoyu's family only has her and Shen Wen's two children, and her financial situation may be even looser than theirs.

Thinking of Shen Hongxuan's current status in the court, and knowing Shen Xiaoyu's difference in front of the sixth prince, those ladies who felt that they had no hope of entering the palace began to calculate that it would be a good choice if they could marry into the Shen family. Father, with the support of the Sixth Prince, even if Shen Wen fails the exam, his future is boundless.

The most important thing is that the Shen family has a simple population and money. Mrs. Shen, a woman from the countryside, is no more difficult to deal with than a wife from Fancheng in terms of scheming or means.

The ladies looked at Shen Xiaoyu more closely, making Shen Xiaoyu feel like a piece of fat that fell into a pack of wolves, and they might snatch them into their stomachs at any time.

Du Yuwen saw it, and said with a smile: "I would like to taste the wine made by my aunt if I have the chance, but I don't know if the wine made by my aunt is sold in Fancheng?"

Shen Xiaoyu shook her head, "No."

Hua Danfeng seemed to think that she was grasping the clues in Shen Xiaoyu's words, and sneered: "If you don't have to sell it, you can say whatever you want, let alone 100 taels a jar, if you brag about 1000 taels a jar, who would know?"

Shen Xiaoyu took a sip of the wine in the glass, looking at Hua Danfeng as if she was looking at a fool, Hong Linglong hurriedly smoothed things over and said: "Miss Hua's sour cucumber dish is delicious, try it."

The maid behind Hong Linglong quickly picked up a piece of sour cucumber for Hua Danfeng.Hua Danfeng wanted to shake her face, but Hua Danqin quietly pushed her under the table, and then reluctantly took a sip.

Du Yuwen laughed and said: "Although this pickled cucumber recipe is a bit simple, it is the most refreshing and refreshing. A few days ago, I sent a lot of cucumbers from Zhuangzi. I was afraid that it would not be easy to store, so I made a few jars of pickled cucumbers. If you like it , you might as well take a small altar with you when you go back."

All the ladies thanked Du Yuwen one after another, and some chatted with Shen Xiaoyu.

Originally sitting next to Shen Xiaoyu was Ms. Song, but after learning that Shen Xiaoyu's mother and daughter did not kill pigs for a living in the countryside, and that their family was not only not poor, but rich, sitting next to Shen Xiaoyu felt blush, excused Taking the opportunity of persuading him to drink, he went to another table. At this time, Hong Linglong was sitting next to Shen Xiaoyu, and Shuyao who was sitting on the other side was staring at Shen Xiaoyu without even wanting to blink.

Hong Linglong said to Shen Xiaoyu: "Miss Shen, our sisters are all newcomers to Fancheng, and have never visited many places. What good places can Miss Shen go?"

Shen Xiaoyu said: "I also came to Fancheng not long ago, I have never been to many places, and I am not familiar with Fancheng."

Hong Linglong clapped her palms and said with a smile: "It couldn't be better, Miss Shen hasn't visited many places, why don't you call our sisters when you go shopping, so that everyone can have a company."
