Chapter 116

When Jiang Chen and Li Yan were discussing the plan for the Xiyao Xiang Army, within the Jiang Mansion!

Liu Yueniang was entertaining Zhang Shangying's wife Xiang Da Niang, as well as Wang Wenhan's wife Zhang Yue'e, Zhang Hongwen's wife Sun Cuiyun and others who were full of resentment.



In the morning, Wang Wenhan and Zhang Yuee had a fight over the "strawberry red collar" incident. Sun Cuiyun and Zhang Hongwen were alarmed and ran to break up the fight.

So the two red strawberry collars met unexpectedly!

This made both of them feel guilty and panicked. The one who cursed and swore put all the blame on Jiang Chen, saying that Jiang Chen got someone drunk and set up a scheme.

Zhang Yue'e and Sun Cuiyun actually believed it, and the four of them immediately divided into two groups!

The man ran to the Jiaofang Department to settle the score with Jiang Chen;

The woman went to Mrs. Xiang to expose Jiang Chen's evil deeds and persuaded Mrs. Xiang never to accept such a rotten person as a relative.

Madam Xiang looked dumbfounded when she heard this, but she didn't take it seriously at all.

After the door-to-door representative Zhang Shangying 'confirmed' the engagement between Liu Yueniang and Jiang Chen as a sign of goodwill, she first recognized Liu Yueniang as a relative, and then praised Jiang Chen without hesitation:

"Yue Niang, if you marry such a wishful man, you will be rewarded with all your hardships and good fortune! Now those little ladies outside say that you married a disciple of an immortal, and they are so envious of you that their eyes are red with envy!"

Immortal disciple?

Just him?

When Liu Yueniang heard this, she couldn't help but have a "disgusting" face with a bad smile in her heart, and she couldn't help but shake her head in amusement.

Zhang Yue'e was even more upset when she heard that the boss was unhappy, and couldn't help but get angry: "Humph! What's there to envy! He's just a lucky minister!"

As she said that, she looked at the decoration and tea sets in the hall, and said with a look of disgust: "Why is it that it is an official's house, but it doesn't even have a decent set of calligraphy, painting, and tea sets? It's so vulgar, how can it look like a disciple of an immortal?"

"

"That's right! What kind of tea is this? It tastes really bad!"

As Zhang Yuexin, the fifth sister of the Zhang family, spoke, she slammed her tea cup down on the table.

Then, like Zhang Yue'e and Sun Cuiyun, they placed the gifts brought by the Zhang family on the table in a very showy manner.

She looked at Liu Yueniang with disdain and said, "This is Dongting Mountain Tea. One pound costs hundreds of strings. Yueniang, you must have never drank it, right?"

"This set is Yangzhou's famous celadon carved tea set. A set costs five hundred guan! This is what our family uses to entertain guests. We are afraid that you will embarrass the Zhang family, so we also sent you a set.

.

You must have never seen Yueniang, right?"

"..."

Liu Yueniang was speechless!

But that’s not all yet!

"Yue Niang, please quickly change the tea set and brew the good tea we brought! Otherwise, if word spreads about your hospitality to guests like this, others will say that we Zhang family girls do not know etiquette!"

"Why don't you go in person? These tea sets are very valuable. If you break one, the whole set will be destroyed. Then your family will not be able to produce anything decent to entertain guests in the future!"

"That's right! There is also this picture of Li Daizhao's spring outing. My fourth uncle bought it for 800 yuan. Now it's a bargain for you. Hurry up and hang it up! Your house looks too crude and vulgar. It's almost embarrassing.

No one can sit down!"

"..."

Zhang Yue'e, Zhang Yuexin and Sun Cuiyun chattered endlessly, while scorning and mocking Liu Yueniang, while showing off their sense of superiority as the legitimate daughters of a wealthy family.

Madam Xiang felt a headache when she heard this, but she didn't stop her. First, she wanted to observe Liu Yueniang's temperament and character;

The second is to prepare to wait until the critical moment when Liu Yueniang is exhausted before taking action, in order to gain Liu Yueniang's full gratitude.

Liu Yueniang was so worried that she was going to make tea herself with a smile on her face, her signature smile to deal with Jiang Chen.

This made Xiang'er and Cui Niannu who were waiting on the side feel uncomfortable.

Just as she was secretly feeling aggrieved, Fourth Aunt Liu led Sister-in-law Pan, Third Sister-in-law Pan and Zhu Que, several wealthy businessmen's wives, in, and said with a smile:

"Madam, Madam Pan and Madam Pan are here. Since they greeted them in advance, I brought them directly!"

As Aunt Liu spoke, she smiled sincerely and apologetically at the eldest lady and the other ladies.

"It doesn't matter, my aunt treats me as one of her own and won't mind!"

Liu Yueniang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and greeted Mrs. Pan and Mrs. Pan as if she had seen a savior.

Recently, these two sisters-in-law came to visit each other when they had nothing to do, and they were already close friends with each other.

Therefore, Mrs. Pan did not treat Liu Yueniang politely, and directly introduced the family members of Zhu Que, Cheng Chengjin and Zhou Pingchao to Liu Yueniang, and then said with a smile:

"Yue Niang, your husband-in-law not only obtained the status of a gentry from a classmate of my family, but also recommended my third brother to be the inspector of Zuodu. He also gave Mrs. Zhu and her nephews a decent background. Today we are

I came to say thank you!"

Having said that, Mrs. Pan directly presented the gift list and asked people to carry the gifts up:

Mrs. Wu, the cook, had stayed in Zhao Tingzhi's Prime Minister's Mansion before and was well-informed. She only took a look at the gift list and realized that it was infinitely more expensive than the gifts sent by the Zhang family.

Then an idea struck him and he stepped forward to sing a salute (additional words) and said:

"Five kilograms of top-quality Yangxian tea! It is said that the annual output of this tea is less than a hundred kilograms, the price is as good as gold, and it is at least a hundred times better than Dongting Mountain tea!

Madam, our family will still use this to entertain distinguished guests from now on? You can just drink the Dongting Mountain Tea yourself if you have nothing to do. It’s a bit hard to entertain distinguished guests!”

While talking, she glanced at Zhang Yuee happily.

Uh--

Zhang Yue'e's pretty face turned red and she immediately lowered her head in shame.

Liu Yueniang felt a little relieved after seeing this, and nodded to Mrs. Wu with satisfaction: "Okay! I will listen to Mrs. Wu on this matter!"

"Thank you, madam!"

Mrs. Wu is happy!

She knew that the flattery was on target this time, so she continued singing: "The Yizhou Palace Kiln purple clay teapot comes with two sets of sixteen purple clay tea sets!

This tea set used to be in Mr. Zhao's house. It is a rare treasure. It is more valuable than the green glaze tea set of 500 Guan, and is more than ten times more decent!

Since the guests dislike our tea sets, why not replace them immediately?"

While speaking, Mrs. Wu looked at Zhang Yuexin with a half-smile.

Well--

I want to go home!

Zhang Yuexin feels inferior!

Liu Yueniang smiled and nodded again: "Okay! Xiang'er, go and make tea for the guests again!"

"yes!"

Xiang'er jumped over in front of Zhang Yue'e and Zhang Yuexin with a look on her face.

Zhang Yue'e and Zhang Yuexin were so angry that they turned black.

At this time, Mrs. Wu glanced at Sun Cuiyun who was restless, and sang again: "A pair of "Tune the Qin and Sip Tea" by Zhou Fang of the Tang Dynasty! Oh, this is incredible, it is not an exaggeration to say it is priceless! Hang it in the living room

It must be much more decent than hundreds or thousands of calligraphy and painting!

Madam, I think the painting just now should be hung in the side hall?"
