Chapter 59 Good Tea

Caiwei's heart skipped a beat, and she felt a little uneasy. Those flowers were carefully selected by Master Ci Hai from all over the world and planted in the yard. Each flower was a rare treasure. The monster was a rich man and must have seen many rare things in the world. If he recognized one or two of them, wouldn't he be trying to cause trouble?

  Just as she was thinking, there was a burst of hurried footsteps in the yard. The sound gradually came, and her mother, Mrs. Du, opened the door and hurriedly walked in, followed by Wen'er and Wu'er. As

  soon as she entered the door, Mrs. Du said happily: "Wei'er, you have made a great contribution to the family again. The flower tea you bought was given to the distinguished guest of Jiujin's family by mother. The young man thought it was delicious and paid 100 taels of silver to buy our flower tea!"

  After that, she took out a silver note with a big red seal from her arms and carefully placed it on the kang table between the sisters.

  "Oh, is this the banknote? There is so much silver!" Caifei's eyes widened in surprise, and she slowly stroked the three big words "one hundred taels" on the banknote, and she was so excited!

  Caiwei didn't care about the numbers on the banknote, she grabbed her mother's hand and said urgently: "Mom, you can't sell it!"

  "Why can't you sell it?"

  Mrs. Du pushed her hand away without hesitation and took out the small bag of flower tea from under the kang table.

  Caiwei was speechless for a moment. She couldn't say that these flower teas were rare treasures in the world, which were priceless. Wouldn't her space be exposed? After thinking for a while, she came up with a lame excuse: "Dad always told us to be kind. How can we sell something we bought for three cents to others for one hundred taels? What's the difference between this and cheating? It's better not to sell it!"

  Mrs. Du poked Caiwei's forehead and said with a smile: "You are the only good one! Don't you think about whether your mother is the kind of person who forgets righteousness when she sees profit? The original price of the flower tea has been told to that young master. It was that young master who insisted on giving one hundred taels. I couldn't refuse it, so I had to refuse it disrespectfully."

  After saying that, she folded up the banknote and put it in her arms. Then she took the flower tea and walked out.

  "Hey, mother..."

  Caiwei wanted to stop her, but she couldn't stop her. She saw her mother carrying the small bag of flower tea and left like a gust of wind!

  "Eldest sister--"

  Wu'er shook Caiwei's arm and called softly.

  Caiwei looked down and saw the little Wu'er looking up at her pitifully with his little face: "Eldest sister, I'm hungry!"

  "Little foodie!" Caiwei said angrily.

  Thinking in her heart, perhaps, the evildoer didn't recognize those flowers and plants at all. Flowers and plants are just things that women use to kill time when they have nothing to do in the inner house. The evildoer will know at a glance that he is a person with the world in his heart, and he may not pay attention to these flowers and plants, so he probably won't recognize them. Even if he recognizes them, he may not care. If he really suspects her, she will just say that she bought them from a mobile vendor, and he can't do anything to her!

  Thinking of this, she was relieved, went into the kitchen, and concentrated on cooking for the little kid.

  Fei'er, however, has not been able to get rid of the joy of the windfall. She caught Wen'er and asked, "What kind of person is it that can spend a hundred taels at once!"

  Wen'er thought about it, and used the few words he knew to describe it, saying, "He is a very handsome young man, more handsome than the statue of Erlang Shen in the temple, wearing a big white fur cloak, very majestic!"

  White fur!

  Mu Caiwei in the kitchen almost burst out laughing when she heard this description. If that flirtatious demon knew that his cloak would be given such a funny comment, I wonder if he would still wear it out to show off!

  At this time, the courtyard of Zhou Laowu's house at the west end of Mujia Village

  was crowded with villagers who came to watch the fun. Everyone was talking and pointing...

  At the door, two tall guards with expressionless faces were standing there, not letting any strangers get close.

  Actually, the guards were oversuspicious. The villagers were not very interested in their master in the house. What they were interested in was a pile of wild boars lying in a mess in the yard. The death of these wild boars was hideous and horrible. Some of them died with their throats bitten off; some even had half of their heads bitten off; and some were not fatally injured, but bled to death...

  Jiujin said that a donkey-sized white-haired giant tiger with hanging eyes appeared in the back mountain. This tiger was not only huge but also extremely ferocious. The wild boar was bitten to death by the giant tiger. Jiujin bumped into it, and later met a friend in the mountain, who helped Jiujin carry the wild boar back...

  "Tsk tsk, the Zhou family is really lucky. Look at these wild boars. They can be sold for at least seventy or eighty taels of silver!" "

  What good luck? Didn't you hear that a tiger appeared in the back mountain? From now on, neither they, father and son, can go to the mountain to hunt. Their livelihood has been cut off. How can it be called good luck?"

  "What's there to be afraid of if it's gone? Now that I have these seven or eight pigs as capital, I can change my livelihood and maybe even get rich..."

  "After all, it's just that he's lucky. Not only did he get away with the tiger, but he also got such a big bargain for free, and he also got help from a nobleman. It's really enviable..."

  Everyone was talking about it, all with envious looks.

  In the room

  , Nangong Yi had taken off his white fox fur coat and was wearing a pomegranate green sword-sleeved brocade cotton robe. He sat in the Zhou family's simple main room, looking at the flowers blooming in the teacup and smiling.

  Qingmanzi, a rare flower tributed by the Quluo Kingdom, has the magical effect of whitening and nourishing the skin. Although it is not as rare as the blue snow lotus, in the entire palace, only the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, and the Imperial Concubine Jin, who are of high status, each got a pot. Chaoyang, that girl, loves beauty, and asked the Queen Mother for Qingmanzi many times but failed. In the end, he stepped forward and asked the Queen Mother for it for her, so he recognized this flower!

  He saw the woman who came in to drink the scented tea. She looked about 80% similar to the girl. According to the woman, her daughter bought the scented tea for three cents in the town. It seemed that the girl was cunning and had kept it a secret from her mother. Haha, it was really interesting!

  On the side, Zhou Laowu sat there restlessly, with a humble smile on his dark face. He stammered, not knowing what to talk about with this noble young man.

  The young man was gentle and elegant, with a sweet smile, and seemed to be easy to get along with. But for some reason, when he met the young man's lazy and casual smiling eyes, he felt inexplicably scared, as if he was being pressed down by a huge rock and couldn't breathe. He was so nervous that he couldn't speak.

  "Sir... please have some... tea..."

  Zhou Laowu imitated the behavior of those rich uncles he saw in the town's restaurants, and stammered to the man.

  Nangong Yi raised his eyes, glanced at Zhou Laowu who was so nervous that he stuttered, and smiled gently: "This flower tea tastes great, it's really a rare good tea!"

  "Yes, yes, Sister Wei has always been careful, so she bought such good tea..." Zhou Laowu responded awkwardly.

  Hearing this, Nangong Yi lowered his eyes and smiled!

  It turned out that the girl was called Sister Wei!
