Chapter 116 Two Golden Beans

"Sister Xie, Yuanyuan is also spoiled by her family, she has no malicious intentions, and I hope that sister Xie will not argue with her."

Xie Rongzhao went back to the basket after thinking about it, and said with a smile: "No, thank you big sister for speaking out just now."

Xie Rongzhao also used the word 'speaking outright' on purpose, after all, she had the impression that Miss Cheng was not a troublesome person, so she just spoke, was it entrusted by others, or did she really dislike Cheng Yuanyuan? practice?
Cheng Qin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Sister Xie is really cute, but I heard that you don't go out very often, are you learning from the second aunt?"

Xie Rongzhao shook his head: "No. I'm very busy. I still need to practice calligraphy. My father and brother Jingzhou will both check."

Cheng Qin raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised by the answer.

The daughters of ordinary families are mainly schoolgirls, such as their family background, the Cheng family, the girls can only know a few words at most, how can they really regard reading and writing as a daily necessity?

"Uncle Xie really loves you."

Cheng Qin couldn't find a reason, he could only think that Xie Xiuwen loved his only daughter very much.

Since Cheng Yuanyuan wanted to teach Xie Rongzhao a lesson, of course it was impossible to really just prepare a move.

After all the dishes were served, Cheng Yuanyuan began to introduce these dishes to everyone.

Among them was a bamboo shoot soup, which was praised by everyone.

Cheng Yuanyuan mainly focused on a few guests. They were all the daughters of her mother's friends, and some of them were her cousins. Naturally, Cheng Yuanyuan was very concerned.

"My aunt specially sent someone to Fucheng to learn this bamboo shoot soup. The essence of this soup, apart from using an old hen to make the broth, is the fresh bamboo shoots. The fresher the soup , the more delicious the soup tastes."

When Cheng Yuanyuan said this, she changed the subject: "By the way, sister Xie, you used to go to the mountains to dig bamboo shoots, right? That should be experienced. Have you eaten these newly dug bamboo shoots? The taste is quite sweet. of?"

There are pitfalls in these words, if Xie Rongzhao is not paying attention, he will be laughed at.

But if it is said that Cheng Yuanyuan has bad intentions, there is obviously insufficient evidence.

"I have eaten freshly dug bamboo shoots, and they are indeed sweeter in taste, but I am young, so I haven't dug bamboo shoots much. The last time we went up the mountain together, Brother Jingzhou dug it himself. He said he would bring it back to me. Auntie added food."

Everyone is not stupid, the Aunt Xie Rongzhao said naturally refers to the Second Mrs. Cheng.

And she mentioned that Cheng Jingzhou had dug it with his own hands, so she couldn't say what Cheng Yuanyuan and her cousins ​​had prepared to belittle her.

How can it be a joke?
After all, it was Cheng Jingzhou who did it, and he was recognized by the Cheng family as the most promising one. Who would dare say that he acted vulgarly?

Cheng Qin glanced at Xie Rongzhao curiously, making sure that what he saw was a childish face, and then slowly tasted the soup in his bowl.

It is indeed very delicious.

Cheng Yuanyuan failed, so she made another move.

"This stewed pork dish is also good. I bought it from the Xiangxiang Braised Vegetable Restaurant. Because we bought a lot of it, the store not only delivered it to our door, but also sent some plain stewed meat. My mother thinks today is a good day. Her birthday, how can she be honored by other people for nothing? So she was rewarded with two taels of silver, so that no one would say that our Cheng family took advantage of a small trader."

As soon as Cheng Yuanyuan finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room immediately became cold.

Most people know that this Fragrant Braised Vegetable Restaurant is the dowry shop of Xie Xiuwen's wife, Mrs. Liu, and it is still run by the Liu family and the Xie family.

Now that Cheng Yuanyuan said this about Braised Vegetables Restaurant, and it was obviously belittled, and it was really inappropriate in front of Xie Rongzhao.

Xie Rongzhao seemed not to understand what she said, he was still eating on his own.

Cheng Yuanyuan saw that she didn't respond, and the others looked like they were afraid of getting into trouble, so she hurriedly said: "Look at me, it's because I can't speak anymore, sister Xie, don't be angry, I don't mean to underestimate Xie's family."

Xie Rongzhao blinked, swallowed the food in his mouth, and then said crisply: "Why did Sister Yuanyuan say that? Of course I know that you don't mean to underestimate our Xie family!"

How do people accept this?
Cheng Yuanyuan was a little depressed, why didn't she play cards according to common sense?

"Hehe, yes, I really don't mean that."

What he said is not convincing. If he really didn't mean to be condescending, then he didn't use that tone and that kind of words to describe the braised vegetable restaurant just now.

"My cousin is right. She was just telling the truth, and naturally she didn't mean to belittle anyone. Besides, if the reward is not given, who knows if someone outside will use the Cheng family's name to talk nonsense? Cousin is also thinking about the Cheng family's reputation, what's wrong?"

Cousin Cheng Yuanyuan's words immediately resonated with several people.

Cheng Yuanyuan herself was also relieved, it was finally not her singing a one-man show by herself.

I just don't know if Xie Rongzhao will run out crying in anger.

Cheng Qin frowned, intending to help Xie Rongzhao, but just now they kept saying that Cheng Yuanyuan was thinking about Cheng's family's reputation, so it was hard for her to speak up.

Xie Rongzhao had already taken two sips of sherbet at this time: "The sisters are wrong."

Everyone's attention was immediately attracted to her.

"Xiangxiang Stewed Vegetables Restaurant is very famous in Gaoyang County now, not to mention the Cheng family, even the county magistrate often sends people to buy it. And the things in the stewed vegetables restaurant are not worrying about selling at all, why bother Still begging someone to buy it?

Besides, braised vegetable restaurants also rely on craftsmanship to eat, and they don't steal or grab or shame.On the contrary, Sister Yuanyuan just said that she rewarded Xiaoererer taels of silver, which is indeed not a small number.But it's nothing unusual. Earlier when my little girl sent stewed vegetables to the Song family, Uncle Song even rewarded him with two golden beans. "

A golden bean is a golden bean, but it is empty inside, and its size is about the same size as a soybean, so it is not as affordable as two taels of silver.

Of course, other people don't know this kind of inside information, so Xie Rongzhao naturally didn't need to tell them too carefully.

When normal people hear that they have rewarded two golden beans, their first reaction is that the specified price is much more than two taels of silver.

Therefore, such a comparison makes Cheng Yuanyuan seem stingy.

Xie Rongzhao successfully diverted the big guy's attention to the two golden beans.

Cheng Yuanyuan's face turned red and pale with anger, wishing she could just come over and beat her up.

Others have caught a different point.

"Sister Xie, who is Uncle Song you mentioned just now?"

The chubby sister of the Cheng family said, "Do you even need to ask? The one who can reward someone with two golden beans must be the Song family! When Xie Xie held a birthday banquet earlier, Young Master Song went over to give the gift in person. .”
