Zou Yuanqin did not expect that Chu Lian was not afraid of how to scrape together the thousand taels of silver at this time, but began to question the value of Shoutao. Immediately her face turned red with anger.
Zou Yuanqin is just a 12-year-old girl, she is also the beloved daughter-in-law of the family, and she is also the companion of Princess Le Yao. In this way, she is like a small cannon barrel being set on fire.
"Chu Lian, how dare you doubt me! Don't judge others with your petty air here, and tell you, I don't care about the thousand taels!" Zou Yuanqin blushed because of anger.
Mrs. Dingyuan Houfu Shizi didn't expect her daughter to be so impatient, she was provoked by Chu Lian's words, she frowned immediately, and secretly gave Zou Yuanqin a wink, but the angry Zou Yuanqin couldn't see it.
Mrs. Dingyuan Hou Shizi suddenly regretted that she should not hastily agree to her daughter's request and embarrass Chu Lian with a plate of birthday peaches. However, when her daughter answered the call, it was difficult for her to intervene. If she intervenes, it will appear that she is bullying the younger generation. After all, Chu Lian is just a young girl who has just reached Ji.
Out of anger, Zou Yuanqin called Chu Lian by his name directly. In such a public place, it is very impolite to call someone else's name, and it is the name of a married woman.
Zou Yuanqin's sudden temper frowned at the same time among the noble ladies who watched the excitement. She is now twelve years old and will be engaged in two years. When they are all there, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to find a good relative in the future.
Chu Lian smiled in her heart, this brat was a little too tender for trying to trick her.
"Miss Zou Wu, one thousand taels is not a small amount for me. Of course I have to ask clearly. Please forgive me."
Chu Lian generously admits her shortcomings. She is poor. Although her natal family has a title, it has already begun to decline. This is a well-known fact, and there is no need to hide it. At this time, if she acts generously and bravely and insists on showing off, she will be disgusting, okay
She had long understood that this damn plate of longevity peaches was definitely worth one thousand taels of silver, and how could Mrs. Dingyuan Hou Shizi tell lies if she wanted to cheat her! She just took out the thousand taels on purpose to anger Zou Yuanqin.
Chu Lian's generous acknowledgment of his situation has actually attracted the praise and admiration of many wives and ladies. After all, not everyone has the courage to expose their shortcomings in front of everyone.
People, for the most part, are vanity animals.
When Chu Lian said this, Zou Yuanqin became even more arrogant and bullying.
Her slender fingers began to tremble when she was pointed at Chu Lian angrily, but Chu Lian still stood upright and looked at her with sincere eyes, as if all this was her fault and she was making trouble for no reason.
Princess Le Yao suddenly became unhappy, and gave Zou Yuanqin a hard look.
Zou Yuanqin caught a glimpse of Princess Le Yao's dissatisfied eyes, and her heart trembled, even if she didn't want to continue at this moment.
She bit the bullet and said: "Chu Lian, no matter what, you must give my mother an explanation! The birthday peaches are going to be served in the front yard in half an hour. I missed the auspicious time and made my grandfather's birthday unreliable. I I want you to go to the front hall to apologize to grandfather on the spot!"
After Zou Yuanqin released this passage, Princess Le Yao finally dissipated the dissatisfaction on her face, and looked at Chu Lian in the crowd with great interest.
This time, it will depend on how smooth-talking and pretending she is!
Chu Lian's ears were sharp, and he heard the discussion of a lady next to him.
"Today is also the third grandma of the Jing'anbo mansion who is unlucky. It is not good to bump into someone, but she bumped into the birthday peach made by Mr. Wang of De'anlou. This gentleman has a big temper. He only makes birthday peaches for everyone once in a lifetime. Well! Presumably at this time, the front yard has already spread the word that Mr. Wang's birthday peach is going to be served today, and the third grandma of the Jing'an Mansion may not be able to explain it this time."
Chu Lian was taken aback, but wanted to laugh. If there is a chance in another day, he must meet this Mr. Wang from De'an Building. Shoutao is not very good, but there are many rules!
But things are rare and expensive, Mr. Wang from De'an Building fried his birthday peaches in this way, and the people who bought them would be willing to pay no matter how much money they had.
Chu Lian remembers that there is a brand of wedding rings in modern times. Every man can only buy one wedding ring of that brand in a lifetime, the only one in his life. This Mr. Wang has such a good business, are you sure he is not a time traveler
Chu Lian tilted her head, her eyes were clear and beautiful, and such an unfaltering expression was very good-looking. If it looked like this, no one would believe that she accidentally knocked over the plate of birthday peaches.
"Miss Zou Wu, I don't have a thousand taels of silver." Chu Lian frowned slightly and said honestly.
She really didn't have the thousand taels, even if she put on the ruby headdress she was wearing today, it would not be half of the thousand taels.
When Zou Yuanqin heard her reply, he glanced at her contemptuously, and raised the corner of his mouth: "Then wait and go to the front hall to apologize to my grandfather!"
There was a sudden gasp in the surroundings. If the third grandma of the Jing'an Mansion really went to the front hall to apologize to the old Marquis Dingyuan in front of all the distinguished male guests, I am afraid that even the entire Jing'an Mansion would be in Shengjing City. Can't hold my head up.
Before the wives and ladies could feel sorry for Chu Lian, she heard her clear voice loudly: "However, I am willing to pay for Mrs. Shizi's birthday peach."
Chu Lian's eyes are bright, her back is straight, without a trace of timidity or cowardice, people can't help but focus on her.
"Oh? How do you pay for it? This is the longevity peach made by Mr. Wang De'anlou. Can you make the same one?" The speaker was the county magistrate Anmin, who raised her chin slightly, obviously showing a little concern for someone of Chu Lian's status. Strong disdain.
Chu Lian smiled slightly. Her appearance was pure and lovely, and the corners of her eyes were still charming. When she smiled, it made people feel like a spring breeze.
"I dare not say that I can make the same thing, but I will definitely be able to make something better than this."
"You're talking nonsense, Mr. De'anlou Wang's birthday peaches are the best in Shengjing City, how could you make better birthday peaches than him!" Zou Yuanqin never thought that Chu Lian would say that, and immediately retorted.
"Miss Zou Wu, how do you know if you don't see it with your own eyes? I was wrong for knocking down Mrs. Shizi's longevity peach today. Mrs. Shizi is magnanimous. Please give me a chance to make amends." Chu Lian said the previous sentence to Zou Yuanqin. When he said the last sentence, he turned to Mrs. Dingyuan Hou Shizi.
Her previous performance had already won the favor of some people, and now she sincerely asked Mrs. Dingyuan Hou Shizi in such a way, her advances and retreats were moderate, and she was affirmed by more people. Besides, the sudden situation at that time did not necessarily mean that Chu Lian bumped into the maid who was carrying the birthday peach.
At this point, many wives have already started to lean towards Chu Lian.
Zou Yuanqin's neck started to turn red from anger, and she said without hesitation: "Even if you know how to make birthday peaches, so what, can it be compared to Mr. Wang? Mr. Wang only cooks birthday peaches for everyone once in a lifetime!"
Chu Lian's small face suddenly became serious, "Miss Zou Wu, food is about the heart, the taste, and the secret recipe. As long as the birthday peaches I make are better than Mr. Wang from De'anlou, can it really be better than Mr. Wang?" Those vain gimmicks?"
Yes, it's a gimmick!
Immediately, all the ladies and ladies were awakened by Chu Lian's clear and serious words.
No matter how expensive it is, it's just a plate of birthday peaches. De'an Lou is here to make money. They don't believe that if the saint comes up and wants to eat two plates of birthday peaches, this Mr. Wang will still be stubborn and resist the order
What's more, the identity of the young mistress from the Jing'an House is no worse than that of a cook in De'an House.
Chu Lian's words were simply a slap in the face of Chi Guoguo.
Miss Zou Wu blushed with anger, but she couldn't say anything to refute.
Mrs. Dingyuan Hou Shizi gave her daughter a dark look. In this situation, she could only agree to Chu Lian's request.
If she was not given this opportunity, it would be the mother and daughter of Mrs. Dingyuan Hou Shizi who seemed rude now.
"Okay, Third Mistress of Jing'an Bo Mansion, I will give you this chance today. However, if you can't make birthday peaches better than Mr. Wang, even if Mrs. He is here, I won't give you face."
Mrs. Dingyuan Hou Shizi is the wife of the family. She has been in a high position all year round and has a certain aura. If it is a young lady of an ordinary family, it is really possible to be shocked by her threatening words.
But why is Chu Lian the main character now!
The situation in modern shopping malls is much more deceitful than this. What kind of boss has never met before, and would be afraid of Mrs. Dingyuan Hou Shizi
"Naturally, I would like to obey Madam's words." Chu Lian bowed respectfully to Madam Dingyuan Hou Shizi.
She has no shortage of virtue and etiquette, which is even more satisfying.
Although Mrs. Dingyuan Hou Shizi was very angry in her heart, she still had that dignified look on her face.
She looked at Chu Lian with sharp eyes and snorted coldly in her heart.
Don't think that birthday peaches are so simple! Since Mr. Wang's birthday peaches in De'anlou are popular, they naturally have his advantages. At least so far, as long as they are rich and noble in Shengjing, no one who has eaten Mr. Wang's birthday peaches will praise him.
Children, be careful, bragging too much will not end well!
Sometimes it’s just watching other people eat tofu and feel that their teeth are fast, but when you really use the sword and gun, you will find that it’s not that simple!
With a cook who doesn't know where to get it in Jing'an Bo Mansion, the dim sum can become popular in the rich and powerful families in Shengjing. One can imagine the preciousness of the secret recipe. And if the British government, which is gradually declining, has a secret recipe for longevity peaches that is better than Mr. Wang, the British government will jump up and down early, and it will still be unknown
Thinking about it this way, Mrs. Dingyuan Hou Shizi is even more sure that Chu Lian is just too confident. If she can really make better birthday peaches than Mr. Wang, she doesn't believe it at all.
Sister-in-law Rong, who was standing at the periphery of the crowd, almost fainted from fright when she heard that Chu Lian was going to make "shou peaches" on the spot. She was also lucky enough to eat Mr. Wang's birthday peaches in De'anlou, which was comparable to the dim sum in Jing'anbo Mansion. It's even better. Before Chu Lian got married, she didn't even enter the kitchen of the British government, so how could she make birthday peaches!
