Sweet and warm little peasant woman

Chapter 286 Mysterious Master
She sat at the backmost seat and watched the wives and ladies of various officials come in one after another to say hello.

Madam An Guohou turned her head to look at Tong Xiaowu, her face was solemn, she had heard about everything she did, and she could be considered a person with some means.

It's a pity that he came from a bad background!However, if she doesn't care about her status, staying with King Xuan and assisting him is also available.

Seeing that no one was coming now, Mrs. An Guohou turned her head to look at the empress dowager.

"Empress Dowager, I heard that the emperor is looking for a candidate for Princess Xuan? Now the surrounding countries have handed over the list of princesses? I don't know whose princess the emperor or queen likes?"

The queen mother laughed and looked around, all outsiders were there. Mrs. An Guohou asked this matter in front of so many people, obviously she wanted to embarrass Tong Xiaowu!
"The Ai family is not very clear about this matter! The Ai family will find out after asking the emperor!" The queen mother did not answer Mrs. An Guohou, but looked at Tong Xiaowu and waved her hand, "Mrs. Tong, come here..."

Tong Xiaowu is now just an embarrassing existence in Prince Xuan's mansion. She is said to be a princess, but the emperor did not give her a title, and she is not a regular wife. She was married by a Ming media when King Xuan was in the countryside. Now the queen mother calls her madam, which is considered flattering .

Tong Xiaowu stood up and saluted, and came to her side, she grabbed her fingers, glanced up and down at her outfit and said:
"I heard from Madam Zhang that you couldn't bear to make new clothes because of the flood? To earn money for Xuanyuan, you worked hard day and night, you're tired!"

Tong Xiaowu was slightly stunned, when was she not willing to make new clothes?But thinking about it, maybe Nanny Zhang said this on purpose, in order to increase her favorability?
"This is what a concubine should do." She replied slowly.

"Yeah!" The queen mother was very satisfied, she didn't say anything, and let her sit aside.

How could the old lady An Guohou not understand what the Queen Mother meant, but unfortunately, although Tong Xiaowu had a good mind, her status was low, which was not good for King Xuan's future development.

Suddenly, a nanny came in to announce, "Empress Dowager, King Xuan gave the Queen a treasure. The people in the backyard opened it when they were taking notes. It was really the work of gods. Mounting flowers, mounting flowers..."

"Mounting flowers?" The empress dowager stood up when she heard this, "But the kind of bean paste mounting flowers that appeared at the beginning of the year?"

"Yes, that mysterious master has released a new product." The nun recommended with an excited face.

The queen mother stood up, a little unbelievable, "After half a year, I can finally see a new product. Now, what price is the old bean paste decoration on the market?"

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, some time ago, the son-in-law in General Qi's mansion broke one of them for fun, and now there are only five collections in the whole Xuanyuan, two of which are here for the Empress Dowager, one for the Empress, and two for the folks. Now the price has been fried. It's tens of thousands of taels of silver!"

When Tong Xiaowu heard this, she stood up, what?Her bean paste mounting flowers are fried to tens of thousands of taels?Then the gift she prepared for the queen today did not flatter the queen. I thought I could get her one without spending any money, but I didn't expect it to be cheap for her.

"Then this one probably costs more than tens of thousands of taels!"

"Yes, empress dowager, the empress asked the old servant to ask the empress dowager to go over and have a look, and she has already sent someone to invite King Xuan!" The old mother stepped forward to support the empress dowager's arm.

The empress dowager looked happy, and greeted the people in the hall and said, "Let's go, let's all go and have a look..."

All the ladies present stood up, and some people whispered: "I heard that the great god travels all over the world, and he can't produce a work in a year. I didn't expect that he was acquired by King Xuan."

"King Xuan is really generous. Everyone says that the Queen is good to King Xuan. Look at this, King Xuan is also good to the Queen!"

"It's not..."

In fact, everyone is well aware of the relationship between the two, but it's just that at this time, they have to say these scenes.

A group of people cheered and came to the main hall. Above the main hall, on a square table in the middle, it was placed on a wooden frame covered with a red cloth. On it was the bean paste decoration gift box that Xuanyuan Yuchen gave to the empress. , which is filled with bean paste decoration.

"Mom is coming, come and have a look, that great master has released a new work, it's very beautiful!" The queen walked up to her with a smile on her face.

If this thing was not given by Xuanyuan Yuchen, the queen would be happier. Although she is very happy now, thinking about who gave this thing, she always feels like a thorn in her heart.

The Empress Dowager walked over, lowered her head and looked at it carefully. After admiring it for a while, she said:
"What kind of flower is this? Oh, this time the work is even more advanced. I have seen peonies before, but this time they are all kinds of flowers? This is a camellia, and this is a rhododendron. The flower bone is so lifelike. With this leaf, you don’t even know how to do it?”

"Yes, mother, I didn't expect King Xuan to know such an expert!" The queen said sourly.

Among so many presents this year, the one given by King Xuan is the most special one. I think everyone in the government and the public knows it by now, right?
The emperor is also rushing here now, wanting to feast his eyes on another treasure of this so-called expert.

"Look at the signature. I wonder if it's the master's handwriting?" The old lady turned around and came to the back of the gift box. She didn't dare to touch it, so she could only lower her body and carefully look at the gift box supported by the wooden frame. The writing on the back.

Tong Xiaowu was surprised. Indeed, all the tips she wrote about food safety were handwritten by herself, but she never thought that when the label she wrote could be used as a symbol of herself.

"Yes, it was written by that master, and the production date was the day before yesterday, that is to say... that master completed this work the day before yesterday. I just don't know if this person is still in the capital?"

The production the day before yesterday couldn't have been shipped from another state city, and the time didn't match. Only in the capital could it be justified.

When everyone heard this, they all looked surprised. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. Some people even said excitedly:
"Wait for King Xuan to come, just ask. Maybe we can get a glimpse of this great master at the empress's banquet?"

"I heard that this master is an old man who likes to travel around!"

"Yes, the merchant Xiao's family met by chance when they went to Nanzhou years ago. Because they helped the master, they gave ten boxes of bean paste mounted flowers, and they were taken back to the capital and sent out as gifts. As a result, I didn't expect many people to like this thing, and now there are very few in the world, and I heard that it has been fired to 1 taels of silver per box..."

"I've seen that framed flower. It's only one-third the size of today's one. This one is much more valuable than that one..."

　Really answered Bai Qian's words: Those gods don't like mortals!Why!Xiao Wu, keep working hard, when you stand above the crowd, they are only worthy of carrying your shoes!Continue to ask for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets...
