Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 850 Thanks
Looking at Ma Shan's back as she ran away in panic, Zhou Banxia couldn't help but laugh. It seemed to be the same when she gave someone a gift for the first time.

You are so thin-skinned.

I'm really embarrassed.

Mai Xiang didn't know what was in the two bundles placed on the chair. Out of caution, she didn't want her daughter to open the bundles.

Just then, Ma Shan went out and Mai Qing came in right after. Mai Qing took over to support Zhou Banxia, ​​and Mai Xiang asked the maid who opened the curtain to call someone to come in and clean the table.

She returned to the two bundles placed in front of the two chairs, reached out and bent down to untie one of the dark blue bundles.

The four corners of the bundle were tied very tightly together. It took a lot of effort to untie it. The four corners came apart and there was another layer of wrapping inside. It had to be untied again.

What is this thing that needs to be wrapped in two layers?
It is a black jar.

Get closer and smell the wheat fragrance.

The smell is somewhat familiar.

Afraid that her judgment was wrong, Mai Qing was supporting their daughter and standing ten steps away. Mai Xiang quickly opened the bottle, made a crack and took a smell.

It's tiger bone glue.

The Ma family's secret tiger bone glue.

No wonder it is wrapped layer after layer. This jar weighs almost two kilograms, which is much more than the previous half a kilogram.

Zhou Banxia guessed it was tiger bone glue.

The Ma family gave her half a pound of it at the end of last year. After her father and father-in-law drank it, they both said that the Ma family's tiger bone glue was better than the tiger bone glue sold in the big pharmacy in Zhending Prefecture.

Originally, she wanted to find Uncle Ma to exchange it for a few kilograms since the effect was better than what she bought outside, so as to honor her uncle. Unfortunately, the Ma family did not have much stock left.

It is said that the last time they made tiger bone glue using their ancestral craft was before Ma Dahu was born. After that, they could not get fresh tiger bones, nor could they get all the medicinal materials, so they were never able to make it again. Only the bottom of the jar was left, which was only about ten pounds at most.

It is not known whether this is true or not, but there is no doubt that the Ma family themselves do not have much left. Ma Shan does not need to make excuses, so it would be difficult to speak up.

But Ma Shan definitely told her parents that she really wanted the Ma family's tiger bone glue and health wine, so Aunt Ma generously sent two kilograms of them this time.

"What about that one?"

Zhou Banxia saw that Mai Xiang still didn't want her to get close, for fear that the medicinal ingredients in Ma's tiger bone glue might conflict with her and the child, but she didn't necessarily have to smell it herself.

But there was still a bundle that hadn’t been unpacked. Just as she was about to open her mouth to remind him, her “mouth replacement” Mai Qing spoke again, “Untie it and take a look.”

The answer was quickly revealed.

It is a health-preserving wine.

"You go with Aunt Chang to the East Road Courtyard to see Aunt Ma and tell her that I really like these two things and thank her. As for the gifts, we can talk about them tomorrow."

Mai Qing knew that the gifts Zhou Banxia was talking about were those that Gu Erlang had sent Huiming to deliver before, some of which should have been kept in the public palace.

The gifts were still in the back room, and Gu Dachang's family was still waiting in the back room for her reply to Zhou Banxia on how to arrange them, so she quickly bowed and went back to do her business.

Ma was very happy. No matter who she gave a thank-you gift to, it was more troublesome than giving a thank-you gift to Liu Lang and his wife. They had everything they needed and were particular about food and drink.

Just from what her own Hu Niu knew, San Ya had several hundred-year-old ginsengs on hand, not to mention Ganoderma lucidum and Tremella fuciformis. There were too many people giving them away as gifts.

The thank-you gift cannot be too small or too large. If it is too small, it will show insincerity; if it is too large, there will definitely be a return gift, and it will be like confiscating the thank-you gift, and it will be difficult to ask for help in the future.

Fortunately, Huazi's (Gu Wenhua) mother was smart. This time, she asked her sister from her mother's family to give Sanya and her husband some stored wine, which finally helped her remember what to give them.

Just like it.

"Be good to San Ya, there's nothing good in that. She won't abandon you." Seeing that Gu Dachang's family and Mai Qing had been away for some time, Aunt Ma began to teach her daughter.

Ma Shan's ears were callused from hearing this. "I know. I'm getting along well with San Ya, not to take advantage of her. She's my sister-in-law, so how can I not get along with her well?"

Dissatisfied with her nagging, Aunt Ma patted her old girl in annoyance and said, "Tell me who you are, I won't tell you who you are. I won't say any more. I'm leaving now."

"Why don't you sit for a while? Okay, go back early and rest early. Your uncle will take my father back. I won't go out with you--"

Ma laughed angrily, "Stop it! I haven't even stood up yet, and you've already chased your mother away. You're such a filial daughter of mine. Do you think I want to stay here with you?"

Why are you angry again?

Didn't you say you wanted to go back?

Ma Shan thought she had said nothing wrong, but how dare she say that? She quickly hugged her mother's arms with both hands, "You know your daughter can't speak.

I'm worried that it's too late and cold outside. I'm not far from home, just a few steps away. I can see you right away if I miss you. Why don't I let you rest early? "

"Yes, what you said makes sense." But why don't you learn from San Ya? Look at how San Ya treats her mother. Can her mother compare to me, a mother like her?
Aunt Ma thought of how Zhou Banxia not only did not dislike Li at all, but was also very affectionate to her and insisted on accompanying Li out even though she was pregnant. She also felt very sad when she thought that Li had left and only returned to her room reluctantly. Her own Hu Niu was not so close to her.

If it were San Ya, she wouldn't be afraid of the cold outside at this late hour. Her mother-in-law wasn't at home, so she could just stay overnight. The two of them could sleep on the same kang and chat nicely.

Alas, she shouldn't have been raised as a child by her father. A good girl was raised like a son. Now that she has a wife, the child no longer loves her mother.

"Your little brother doesn't want to split up. Your father and I want to live with your little brother. If you can't get along with your second and third sisters-in-law in the future, at least you still have your eldest and youngest sisters-in-law to protect you."

"What did the second and third sisters-in-law say today?"

"What else can they say? Your eldest brother is the eldest son, so he should go to the government office to work. It's just that your second sister-in-law went back to her parents' home today and said she would stay for two days before coming back."

"Then stay here. Why are you bothering with her? If my second brother dares to get angry with her, let my father punish him. We haven't even separated yet. Who are you showing your displeasure to?

If you ask me, it's still the same. It's okay to divide the family, but you can't give too many things at once. Even for my eldest brother, you and my father have to take the lion's share.

Mom, not every family is like my husband's family. My parents-in-law separated their two sons early on, and San Ya and I had more dowries than theirs.

If we don't separate and get back together, my parents-in-law are afraid that if San Ya and I get too close, we will inevitably become alienated over time, and our two sons will also become enemies.

It would be great if we could separate early. I would use the rent of the dowry shop to pay your uncle, and you would not blame me. Even when your uncle wanted to buy a farm, you were willing to lend it to him—"

Aunt Ma was so frightened that she quickly covered her daughter's mouth, tightly covering it, and retracted her gaze that had just subconsciously looked towards the door, "Why did you say anything!"
