Chapter 48 Selling mosquito fragrance at a high price

In the early morning, a heavy rain washed away the courtyard, the branches fell from place to place, and the flower pots were swept down, making the ground messy.

When I woke up early, the weather was clear, and the air was filled with the smell of earth after the rain, which made me feel refreshed.

In the yard, the maids and maids were sweeping the floor.

When they saw Xue Mei, they saluted respectfully: "Miss."

These maids and mothers are all from the Yongning Marquis' Mansion. Unlike Mama Dai and others, they are the confidants left by Xue Mei's mother to Xue Mei.

In the past, they did not respect this young lady very much.

However, the eldest lady got rich and gave them money, gave them their monthly money, and also added extra meals every day, and gave them every meal.

Everyone is rich and eats enough, and respects the eldest lady like a Bodhisattva.

Especially the two rude little maids, their monthly money was enough to get to the third-class maids in the mansion, and they were arrogant everywhere they went.

"You guys are busy." Xue Mei smiled, then shouted Hongluan, "Go to the kitchen to get our breakfast, as well as the beef and fresh milk that Ah Chou stewed."

Hongluan Tao is.

After the heavy rain, the sun was still hot. Hongluan took a paper umbrella and barely blocked some sunlight. When she was about to go out, she saw a servant walking towards Huiningyuan quickly.

The servant laughed before he could speak: "Sister Hongluan."

Hongluan recognized him, he was Yuzhong, the servant beside the eldest young master.

Yuzhong has a baby face and smiles whenever he meets everyone. He is clever and generous, and has a good reputation in the house.

Hongluan: "So early, were you going to our yard or passing by?"

Yuzhong: "I'm going to the Miss's Courtyard."

"What's the matter?"

"The eldest young master invites the eldest lady, I have a few words to tell the eldest lady." Yu Zhong said.

The second order of the Xue family's children is that their son and daughter are separated.

If you have to queue up with the boys at home, the eldest lady Xue Mei should be the fourth lady. Her eldest brother and two cousins ​​are older than her.

"Miss hasn't had breakfast yet, please wait and come again." Hongluan said.

Hongluan doesn’t like Yuzhong very much because she doesn’t like the eldest young master very much.

When the eldest lady was in the worst, the eldest young master never helped. Even his biological brother was extremely cold and not as good as the second young master's cousin.

Hongluan holds revenge.

No matter how difficult the eldest master is, he still has a wife, which is better than the eldest lady.

I didn't help when I was in a downturn, but now I've seen the eldest lady, but I ran over.

Bah, not rare.

"Sister Hongluan, please report it." Yuzhong smiled.

His name is Hongluan Sister. It’s not that he is younger than Hongluan, but that he is a servant or maid. In order to show respect for other maids, he called him “sister”.

Yuzhong should be two or three years older than Hongluan.

"You haven't had a meal yet, don't you understand what people say?" Hongluan's voice rose. "What do you want to tell the eldest lady? Why didn't you tell me a few years ago, and now you can't wait?"

Yuzhong smiled bitterly.

This is a strange thing that the young master did not help their ladies in the past.

"Sister Hongluan..."

Yuzhong also wanted to beg for mercy and try not to cause trouble as much as possible. The gate of Huiningyuan's courtyard opened from inside.

Another maid with green green robes came out: "Miss asked you what you were quarreling at the door, early in the morning."

Yu Zhong also knew the maid and said, "Sister Xiuzhu, the eldest master sent a villain here, please invite the eldest lady."

Xiuzhu glanced at him: "Come in."

Hongluan: "Oh, no..."

Xiuzhu glared at her.

When the servant went in, Xiuzhu slapped Hongluan hard on the back: "Is it bad luck here early in the morning?"

"The eldest son..."

"The eldest young master is the young lady's brother. Even if he did something wrong in the past, someone must bow his head first. What are the benefits for the young lady to make a lifelong grudge?" Xiuzhu said, "Go to the kitchen to get breakfast. The young lady is fine, A Chou is hungry."

Hongluan yelled, thinking that if Ah Chou was extremely hungry, their eldest lady looked annoyed, so she quickly ran to the kitchen.

Over there, Yu Zhong bowed to Xue Mei and planned to kneel down. Xue Mei asked him to avoid the gift and replied while standing.

"...Is it urgent?" Xue Mei asked.

Yuzhong: "Miss, it is actually Prince Ancheng who is here."

Xue Mei knew it in her heart.

Prince Ancheng came here early in the morning, afraid that something urgent was happening.

He didn't want to disturb the rest of the Xue family, so he went directly to Xue Chi's yard and asked Xue Chi to invite Xue Mei again.

He is also a smart person.

Compared with his biological brother Xue Chi, Prince Ancheng knew Xue Mei's situation in Yongning Marquis' Mansion clearly.

Xue Mei stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."

The maid wants to keep up.

Xue Mei asked them to stay: "I got the breakfast back, you can share it and feed A Chou. I'll go to my elder brother's side to eat, you don't need to serve you."

The maids said yes.

But Ah Chou jumped off the table and threw himself into Xue Mei's arms.

Xue Mei gently touched its head: "Is it okay to stay at home for dinner?"

The cat grabbed her arm tightly.

Xue Mei had no choice but to take it there.

When I arrived at my elder brother's yard, I saw Prince Ancheng standing at the door and greeted him from afar.

"Miss Xue..."

"The prince came so early, was it because of the mosquito coil?" Xue Mei smiled.

Last night, Prince Ancheng personally tested the mosquito coil.

It is ignited without any odor, not like burning mugwort, the room is full of smoke and smelly; the effect of killing mosquitoes is amazing, and the heavy mosquito area like Qinglian Pavilion can kill no armor.

As his concubine said, when the window was opened at night, there was only a thin layer of gauze window, and the mosquito coils were lit, so the mosquitoes were afraid to enter, and they were breathable and cool, so they could have a good sleep.

This is a treasure.

Early in the morning, Xiao Mingyu came in a hurry and didn't even have time to eat.

Every time he comes, he always looks for Xue Chi.

There is a corner gate in the West Garden where Xue Chi lives, which can enter and exit freely without disturbing the rest of the Yongning Marquis' Mansion. This corner gate is guarded by Shi Yong, and ordinary people cannot enter.

"It's for the mosquito coil." Xiao Mingyu's eyes were as gentle as water.

He was so gentle and affectionate when he said harshly that Xue Mei could not sell it for a good price.

"Your Majesty, it's been seven days since you came to the door. Could it be that the mosquito coil is not easy to use?" Xue Mei raised her eyebrows.

Xue Chi was a little impatient, not knowing what Xiao Mingyu and Xue Mei were saying, he wanted to drive people away.

"Miss Xue is joking."

"I'm not joking." Xue Mei looked down, "I gave it to the prince, but the prince doesn't care. Since that's the case, I'll look for another buyer."

After saying that, she got up and was about to leave.

Xiao Mingyu quickly stopped her and bowed to her: "Ms. Xue, Xiao Wang is wrong, Miss Xue is a lot."

Xue Chi's heart, which was like an ancient well, suddenly moved, and was a little surprised.

How could Prince Ancheng be so humble?

Xue Mei also changed a lot. The flattering little girl turned her back after saying a few words. Her eyebrows were cold and imposing, and she didn't look like her at all.

"What mosquito coil?" Xue Chi interrupted.

Xue Mei: "The deworming thing is very useful."

Xue Chi: "How useful can it be?"

"The prince knows how useful it is, otherwise he wouldn't have come to the door early in the morning." Xue Mei said with a smile.

Xue Chi: "..."
