The Queen Mother's Kitchen Knife

Chapter 26
Tang Jingyue thought it was good, but Xia Lian was stunned.

"3000 taels?! That's it? Miss, why don't you change it? This one is very expensive. Wouldn't it be nice to save the money and buy you some ginseng and deer antler for your health?"

But Tang Jingyue couldn't take her eyes away: "That's it." How could it be for Ah Hao.

"Miss!" Xia Lian really felt that Miss was wasting money recklessly, and stamped her feet anxiously, "We have no money..."

Being thwarted, Tang Jingyue gave Xia Lian an unhappy look.Seeing Miss's cold stare, Xia Lian immediately shut up.But she still felt uncomfortable, she wanted to see who the lady gave such expensive jade to!
The little servant was so happy that he went crazy: "Okay, I will wrap it up for the young lady!" Tsk, if you don't have money to take medicine and buy jade, ordinary people really can't understand the life of a rich family.

"You don't need a bag, I'll just carry it." When she saw Ah Hao, she tied it on him.Thinking of this, Tang Jingyue's brows and eyes were crooked with a smile.

After leaving the Lingqiong Pavilion, Zhang Tian and Zhang Di, who were guarding the door, saw a waist pendant in the lady's hand, and couldn't help asking: "Miss, did you see it? It looks pretty."

Xia Lian was unhappy: "Can't you look good, San..."

Tang Jingyue hastily pinched her waist and gave her a warning look.This money was stolen from Wan'an Temple, can you talk nonsense?
Xia Lian quickly stopped talking, but she was still unhappy.She felt that the young lady was too prodigal.

Looking at Xia Lian with an unhappy face, Tang Jingyue had no choice but to coax her: "I heard that the peonies in the Prince Regent's Mansion are in bloom very beautifully. Let's go and have a look?"

"The Prince Regent's Mansion?" Xia Lian didn't like the Prince Regent's Mansion, but she was more interested in the beautiful peonies she heard from the lady. forget.

In fact, Tang Jingyue was afraid that there were no peonies hanging in front of the door of the Prince Regent's Mansion, so she wondered if she could get a peony from the Prince Regent's Mansion from the servants of the Prince Regent's Mansion.Even if there were no peonies hanging in front of the gate of the mansion, she could still have the cheek to meet Ah Hao with one.

Thinking of this, Tang Jingyue pursed her lips, and her joyful eyes were stained with worry and sadness.I'm really worried, what if Ah Hao didn't hang peonies in front of the mansion?Would Ah Hao not want to see her again?

"Let's go to the back door of the Prince Regent's Mansion and see if someone can pick a flower." Tang Jingyue said.In fact, she knew that no servant would dare to be so bold as to destroy the master's garden, but even those who thanked the ground would be fine!
Give her some courage.

……

Tang Jingyue took her servants and walked an extra street before arriving at the back door of the Prince Regent's Mansion.Don't look at the back door, the back door of the Wangfu also competes with the front door of the merchant's house.

Just as he was about to knock on the door, the back door was opened from the inside with a "gala".

Aunt Wang from the kitchen of the Prince Regent's Mansion came out with a basket of peonies that were a bit languid.Suddenly seeing a few people standing at the door, he shouted in fright: "Who dares to break into the Regent's Palace!"

Xia Lian hurriedly defended: "Auntie, don't talk nonsense, my young lady is a decent official girl, and I can't tolerate auntie's slander!"

Hearing a little girl yelling, Aunt Wang fixed her eyes and saw that the girl in front of her was really gracious, and seeing the two guards behind her, her attitude immediately changed for the better.

"Oh, so which family's daughter is it? You see, I don't have the eyesight to see you!" Aunt Wang laughed twice, "Dare to ask Miss what's the matter at the back door of the Prince Regent's Mansion, if you have business, you can find it at the front door The housekeeper said, it’s useless to find servants like us.”

Tang Jingyue looked at the flower basket on the woman's arm in a daze.Why are you almost wilting?Is it to take out the bad flowers and deal with them?

Xia Lian glanced at the young lady, saw that the young lady was staring eagerly at the mother-in-law's flower basket, and said, "That's right, auntie. My young lady heard that the peonies in the Prince Regent's mansion are beautiful, but she couldn't get in, so she came to inquire about it. Can’t pick one out! Auntie, the ones in your basket aren’t fresh ones, are they?”

After hearing Xia Lian's explanation, Aunt Wang finally understood, looked at the basket she was carrying, and saw that the young lady's eyes were glued to the flowers, she couldn't help laughing a few times.

This lady is also a peony lover.

"I'm not fresh here. Give me a hundred guts and I wouldn't dare to pick my master's flowers! But Miss, you came here by coincidence. Take a look, my flowers are not bad. Although they are not new, they are It’s no different, and I can wear it on my head for a few days! Anyway, I’m going to sell it, and I happened to meet you, and it’s cheap, so you can pick a few!”

Aunt Wang is happy to buy and sell long legs.Carrying the basket, he sent the flowers to Tang Jingyue.

The jade-green peony is crystal-clear; the golden-yellow peony is magnificent; the silver-red and golden-stamen peony is beautiful and fragrant.The peonies in this woman's basket are all high-quality products, they must be well taken care of, and they can bloom until the end of summer, so the waiters must be painstaking!How could Peony like this be defeated, how could she be defeated? !
"This peony..." Tang Jingyue was suffocated by a sudden pain, and she whispered in fear, "It's blooming just right, how could it be picked off and sold for money?"

When speaking, his eyes were fixed on Aunt Wang, full of hopes and prayers.

Aunt Wang was afraid that Tang Jingyue would suspect that the flower came from a wrong place, so she hurriedly explained: "Oh, Miss, I didn't steal this flower! Three days ago, my prince suddenly ordered to destroy all the peonies in the mansion. Don’t keep a single plant! I can’t bear to be my wife, so I picked up some of the broken ones and planted them in the water basin. Otherwise, how could I survive to this day! Hehe, in my opinion, this flower must know that there is a lady coming here today Look at it, I took the initiative to pick it up. Miss, please pick a few more flowers! Look, these flowers are all suitable for you..."

Three days ago?
Tang Jingyue couldn't hear what the woman said behind her, she looked at Hua with empty eyes, and there were only three words in her mind: It's all ruined.

Ah Hao...

"Miss!" Xia Lian yelled, and supported the young lady who was limp and almost fell to the ground, "Miss, what's the matter!"

"Ba da." Tang Jingyue opened her eyes wide and looked at the black and white sky. The jade that she had been holding tightly in her hand shattered into several pieces on the ground with a crisp sound.

Totally ruined, too.
