Reborn and married to uncle, husband and wife teamed up to abuse scum.
Chapter 75: The Courteous Xin An
Xin An chose to remain silent about things that had not yet happened, and just listened to them talk quietly. They were all talking about jewelry, clothes, cosmetics, or trivial matters like which young lady was pregnant or which lady had given birth and needed gifts.
As a curious baby, Qiu Wenyuan was curious about Tang Mo again. Many people knew that Tang Gang impeached the Beiya Army, and there were also a lot of gossips, saying that he was partial to the eldest son or that he thought the Marquis' Mansion was capable of suppressing Liao Zhi and was arrogant.
"How is your second son doing in the Beiya Army?"
"it is good."
Xin An put down his chopsticks and said, "I'm excited."
Her purpose of coming here today was not to integrate into this circle, nor to complain or seek help, but just to get familiar with the faces so that she could say hello when they met at the banquet and take this opportunity to get to know more people.
Some things cannot be forced; trying too hard may backfire.
"He said that the people in the Beiya Army were easy to get along with, gave him advice on everything, and the food was good, so he was in high spirits."
She has no psychological burden in discrediting Tang Rong and Tao Yiran, but she will never say a bad word about Bei Ya Army.
Several people obviously didn't believe that all the Beiya soldiers had become good people. They guessed that Tang Mo only reported good news and not bad news so as not to let Xin An worry.
In this case, Tang Mo is really a good man.
After dinner, several people sat down to drink tea. Xin An gave the three people a gift she brought from Huaijiang. "Our Huaijiang Yinhua tea is not as famous as other teas, but both the aroma and taste are very good. Let the three sisters have a taste."
"Sister Xin is too modest. I heard from my prince that Huaijiang Silver Flower Tea is a local specialty. It has a strong aftertaste and a long-lasting taste. The fragrance of tea can be smelled in your breath after you take a sip. The key is that it can be brewed for a long time, and the taste is different every time you brew it."
This tea touched Li Yuyan's heart. His father had once received Huaijiang Silver Flower Tea from his subordinates and had praised it many times.
Her father-in-law, Prince Cheng, also loves this tea and was once rewarded with a jar by the emperor. "I heard that this tea is picked from the clouds in the mountains and must be roasted on the spot to retain its fragrance. It is very rare."
Hearing that the tea from his hometown was praised so highly, Xin An also felt a little proud. "What the Crown Princess said is true. This tea grows in the mountains, where there is fog all day long. There are also honeysuckle flowers growing in the mountains. The rich fragrance of the flowers infects the tea leaves, giving it a different flavor than other teas."
"My father loves this tea the most. He even bought a hilltop and hired someone to take good care of the tea trees."
Qiu Wenyuan was surprised that the Xin family had a mountain. "So, does that mean the tea production is very high?"
"Not much."
Xin An shook his head and said, "Tea trees are hard to come by. Tea trees from previous years are extremely expensive and take a long time to cultivate."
"Except for selecting the best ones to enter the palace every year, the rest can only be just enough."
Li Yuyan suddenly realized, "So the Huaijiang Silver Flower Tea that the palace pays tribute to every year was sent by the Xin family?"
"Yes and no."
Xin Kuan is the vice president of the Huaijiang Chamber of Commerce, and the president is the Yao family, the richest merchant in Huaijiang. "The Yao family is the imperial merchant. Since they are all in the same chamber of commerce, my family also selects the best tea every year and sends it to the Yao family, and sends it to the palace in the name of the Yao family."
As he spoke, he expressed his apology, "The best ones are already in the palace. These are slightly inferior to those sent to the palace, but the taste is the same. It's just that the shape of the leaves when brewing is not as beautiful as those sent to the palace."
"You can't tell unless you look closely."
Yan Wenhui and Qiu Wenyuan had never tasted this kind of tea, and they became interested at once. Yan Wenhui smiled and handed the teapot to her maid, asking her to make a pot. "I really can't wait until I get home, so I'll try it now."
Li Yuyan originally did not have much affection for Xin An, and the only reason she could joke and chat with him was for Yan Wenhui's sake. Now she saw benefits in Xin An, and she hoped to get more silver flower tea, so that she could honor her father and please her father-in-law. Therefore, her attitude towards Xin An improved.
You have to know that no matter how noble your status is, there will always be people you need to please.
Moreover, she felt that perhaps she could get something from Xin An in the future. She certainly did not care about the power of the Marquis' Mansion, but the financial resources of the Xin family were still a mystery.
The Huaijiang River produces a lot of salt and has many salt merchants, but to be able to become the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce, his financial resources should not be underestimated.
New tea was quickly brought in, and the fragrance of the tea filled the air. Yan Wenhui blew on it for a while, then took a sip and savored it carefully. "It's really different."
"It tastes really good. Mm, it feels sweet in my mouth."
Qiu Wenyuan drank it in small sips, thinking that she would let her husband try it when she got home. It was really delicious.
In the afternoon, they were ready to go back home. They said goodbye to each other at the door and agreed to go to the theater and drink tea together when they had free time.
After getting in the car, Xin An restrained his smile, let out a long breath, closed his eyes and began to recall everything that happened today, to see if there was anything wrong. He also had to think about the situation of several people.
Yan Wenhui and Li Yuyan took the same car back. Not long after getting in the car, Yan Wenhui asked, "Sister Yan, what do you think of the Xin family's sister?"
Li Yuyan smiled and said, "She is much better than I thought. I originally thought that she was from a merchant family and her manners and etiquette would be poor. After observing her for a day, I realized that she is no different from a noble lady in the capital. It is obvious that the Xin family has specially hired someone to teach her carefully."
"You still have a good eye for people."
Yan Wenhui followed suit and laughed, "My brother is good friends with the second brother Tang, and he came to my house in person to ask me to take care of her. I was reluctant at first, but after meeting him, I agreed. He has a likable personality, and he was able to quickly accept the reality after the marriage exchange and gain a lot of benefits from it. He is not a stupid person."
Under what circumstances can you benefit?
Naturally, she had suffered a great deal of injustice, and the Marquis' Mansion wanted to shut her up and make her behave, so Tang Rong and Tao Yiran were probably hooking up with each other a long time ago.
"I saw her eyes light up when she talked about Tang Mo today. It's obvious that she still really likes Tang Mo. It's hard to say whether this is a good match."
Li Yuyan didn't say that she was attracted by the Xin family's wealth. Some things are not easy to say even to the closest people. "If you have anything in the future, call her along."
Yan Wenhui breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. The person she introduced naturally hoped to bring honor to her, and Xin An did not let her down.
Less than half an hour after returning to the mansion, Zhang, the steward of the Marquis's mansion, brought Aunt Wang to the gate of the Liu family. "My second sister-in-law saw that Madam Liu liked this Huaijiang Silver Flower Tea, so she specially sent a servant to bring some more to Madam Liu, as well as some Huaijiang local rituals. My second sister-in-law thanks Madam Liu for her care."
In addition to Huaijiang silver flower tea, there are also carved ivory fans and porcelain flying ladies ornaments. One of them is "Linshui Fang" written by the Huaijiang Confucian scholar Yuan Zhi, which caught Yan Wenhui's eyes. The handwriting of the great Confucian scholar Mr. Yuan is extremely rare and is Liu Mingyuan's favorite treasure.
"Sister Xin is so polite."
It must be said that Xin An's manners are very thoughtful, which makes people feel good about her. "Thank Sister Xin for me."
After Aunt Wang respectfully took her leave, she left the Liu residence with Steward Zhang. Steward Zhang wanted to say something several times on the way, but stopped himself. The things that the Second Young Master's wife sent out today were all hard to find. The Marquis also loved the tea and the great scholar's handwriting very much.
"Last time, the Marquis drank a cup of tea at his wife's place and said it was very different. It turned out to be Huaijiang Silver Flower Tea. I heard that it was a tribute and very rare."
The Xin family has never sent anything to the Marquis. If the Marquis knew about this, how angry would he be?
