Chapter 75: Xin''an, who is considerate and elegant
What had not happened yet, Xin An chose to remain silent and listen to them quietly. He said all about jewelry, clothing, and powder. Or what the young lady in the family was pregnant, and which wife had to give gifts for her child.
As a curious baby, Qiu Wenyuan was curious about Tang Mo. Many people knew about Tang Gang''s impeachment of the Northern Yajun, and there were also some gossip. Either he was biased towards the eldest son, or he thought the Hou Mansion could overestimate Liao Zhi and was arrogant.
"Is your second son good at being in the Northern Yajun?"
"good."
Xin An put down his chopsticks, "I''m excited."
Her purpose today is not to integrate into this circle, nor to complain about asking for help, but to be familiar with each other and to say hello after meeting at a banquet in the future, so as to take this opportunity to meet more people.
Some things cannot be forced, but if you use too much force, it will be counterproductive.
"It is said that the people from the Beiya Army are easy to get along with, and they are always giving him some food, and they are in the mood."
She has no psychological burden to discredit Tang Rong and Tao Yiran, but she will never say that the Beiyajun is not right.
The few people obviously didn''t believe that the people from the Beiya Army had become great charitable people. They guessed that Tang Mo would report good news but not bad news, so Xin An would not worry.
In this way, Tang Mo is really a good man.
After the meal, several people sat and had tea. Xin''an gave the three people a gift she brought from Huaijiang. "Our Huaijiang''s silver flower tea is not as famous as other teas, but it is very good in both the aroma and taste. Let the three sisters try it."
"My sister Xin is too humble. I heard from my prince that Huaijiang Yinhua tea is a local talent, and it tastes very long and long. The fragrance of tea when you drink it in one sip. The key is that it is to be resistant to brewing, and the taste is different every time you brew it."
This tea was delivered to Li Yuyan''s heart. His father once received Huaijiang Yinhua tea from someone below, and praised it many times.
Her father-in-law, Prince Cheng, also loved this tea. He once received a can of it from the emperor. "I heard that this tea is picked from the mountains and clouds, and it is very rare to stir-fry it on the spot to keep its fragrance."
Xin''an heard that the tea in his hometown was so praised, and Xin''an was also a little proud. "What the princess said is true. This tea grows in the mountains, and the clouds and mists are still dispersed all day long. There are honeysuckles in the mountains, and the fragrance of flowers is strong invading the tea leaves, which makes it more delicious than other teas."
"My father loves this tea the most, so he bought a mountain for this and asked someone to take good care of the tea trees."
The Xin family on the hill surprised Qiu Wenyuan, "Was this a lot of tea production?"
“Not much.”
Xin An said, "Tea trees are rare. Tea trees in the previous year are extremely expensive and are slowly cultivated."
"Apart from choosing the best part every year to enter the palace, the rest should be barely forced."
Li Yuyan suddenly realized, "It turns out that the Huaijiang Yinhua tea that is tributed to the palace every year is given by the Xin family?"
“Yes, not.”
Xin Kuan is the vice president of the Huaijiang Chamber of Commerce. The president is the Yao family, the richest businessman in Huaijiang. "The Yao family is an imperial merchant. Because they are all in the same chamber of commerce, my family also chooses the best tea to deliver to the Yao family every year, and sends it to the palace in the name of the Yao family."
As he said that, he also expressed his apology, "The best ones are already in the palace. These are a little bit slower than those who enter the palace, but the taste is the same, that is, the posture of the leaves when brewing is not as beautiful as being sent to the palace."
"You can''t see it without looking closely."
Neither Yan Wenhui nor Qiu Wenyuan had eaten this kind of tea, and became interested for a moment. Yan Wenhui smiled and gave the tea pot to her maid and asked her to brew a pot. "I really can''t wait to go home, so I''ll try it now." Li Yuyan didn''t have much affection for Xin''an at first, and being able to joke together was just to see Yan Wenhui''s face. At this time, she saw the benefits in Xin''an. She hoped to get more sinensis tea, one could respect her father, and the other was able to please her father-in-law, so she became better with her attitude towards Xin''an.
You should know that no matter how noble your identity is, there are people you need to please.
And she felt that maybe she could get something from Xin''an in the future. She didn''t see the power of the Hou''s Mansion, but the financial resources of the Xin family were still a mystery.
Huaijiang produces a lot of salt and there are many salt merchants, but if you can become the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce, your financial resources should not be underestimated.
The new tea was delivered in quickly, and the tea fragrance was everywhere. Yan Wenhui blew it for a moment and then pecked it lightly, savoring it carefully, "It''s really different."
"It tastes so good, um, sweet in the mouth."
Qiu Wenyuan drank in small sips, thinking that she would give her husband a taste when she went back. It was really delicious.
In the afternoon, people were about to go home and bid farewell to the door one by one. They made an appointment to go to listen to opera and taste tea together when they were free.
After getting on the bus, Xin An restrained his smile, let out a long breath, closed his eyes and began to recall everything today, to see if there was anything wrong, and to think about the situation of several people.
Yan Wenhui and Li Yuyan took a car back. After a while, Yan Wenhui asked, "What does Sister Yan think of the Xin family?"
Li Yuyan smiled, "It''s much better than I thought. I originally thought she was from a businessman and her conversation and behavior were worse than the rules. After a day of reading, I realized that she was no different from the noble girl in the capital. It can be seen that the Xin family specially asked someone to teach her carefully."
"You still have good eyes when looking at people."
Yan Wenhui laughed, "My younger brother is intimate with Brother Tang. I came to my house to ask me to take care of her more. I was not very willing at first, but I was willing after seeing her. I am quite likable. I can quickly accept reality and get a lot of benefits from it after changing the bride. I am not a fool."
Under what circumstances can we get benefits?
Of course, she suffered a great grievance. In order to block her mouth and make her honest, Tang Rong and Tao Yiran were probably hooked up early.
"I saw that she had light in her eyes when she talked about Tang Mo today, which shows that she really likes Tang Mo. It''s really a good marriage, but it''s hard to say."
Li Yuyan didn''t say that she was interested in the financial resources of the Xin family. It was not convenient for her to say some things that were the closest people. "Call her to her if you have anything in the future."
Yan Wenhui breathed a sigh of relief. The person she introduced naturally hoped to be successful for her, and Xin An did not disappoint her.
Less than half an hour after returning to the mansion, Manager Zhang from the Marquis'' Mansion took Aunt Wang to the gate of the Liu family. "My second young lady saw that Mrs. Liu liked this Huaijiang silver flower tea, so she specially sent me to send some to Mrs. Liu. There were also a few Huaijiang local customs. My second young lady thanked Mrs. Liu for her care."
In addition to Huaijiang silver flower tea, there are also carved ivory fans and porcelain-burning ornaments of the flying ladies. One of the books "Lin Shui Fang" written by the Great Religious Yuan of Huaijiang made Yan Wenhui''s eyes lit up. The handwriting of Mr. Daru Yuan of Daru Yuan is extremely rare and is Liu Mingyuan''s favorite treasure.
"Sister Xin is so polite."
No, Xin''an''s courtesy is very thoughtful, which makes people feel good, "Thank you to Sister Xin for me."
Aunt Wang respectfully took his leave and left the Liu family with Manager Zhang. Manager Zhang on the way wanted to speak out several times but stopped. Today, every thing the second young lady gave out was hard to find. The tea leaves and the handwritten letters of the great scholar were also loved by the Marquis.
"Last time, the Marquis ate a cup of tea at his wife, and said it was particularly different. It turned out to be Huaijiang Yinhua tea. I heard that this is a tribute, which is rare."
The Xin family has never given it to the Marquis. If the Marquis finds out, how angry will he be?
