Lord Fourth, Madam Has Tricked You Again

Chapter 505: Influenced by Fourth Master

It's easy to say, I'm sorry, but her face has been lost, okay?

Immediately afterwards, Niu Gulu and the others gave Ruoyin some small gifts.

Nothing more than some small supplements, bird's nest, snow clams.

Or small handkerchiefs embroidered by hand and so on.

Anyway, their status was lower than Ruoyin's, so they came here just to show off.

Showing a scene of respect for the main room, it is not good to give it expensive.

As for their gifts, Ruoyin made everyone accept them.

Finally, Ruoyin said lightly, "Okay, let's stop here today. I have spring tea for this year's spring. Let your servants take some to their residences."

"Yes." Everyone got up, and after saluting with blessings, they left.

After everyone left, Qiaofeng stepped forward and squeezed Ruoyin's shoulders, and said, "Fu Jin, Li Ce Fujin is too petty, isn't it normal to receive gifts on birthdays, and it's too much to show off."

Thinking of my Fujin family, the fourth master sent so many good things to the main courtyard all year round, except for the holidays.

"That is, if everyone shows off like her, our master can't finish showing off for a day and a night." Qiaolan echoed.

Ruoyin was amused by Qiaolan's words.

But soon, she withdrew her smile.

Seeing that Ruoyin's expression was wrong, Nanny Liu cleared her throat and reprimanded, "Have you both finished your work yet?"

Really, didn't you see that fourth master didn't come to the main courtyard recently?

It has been a long time since anyone sent rewards to the main courtyard.

In previous years, on Fujin's birthday, as long as Fourth Master was at the residence, he would have someone prepare a gift early in the morning.

Even if you are not prepared, you can reward various things in the morning, and make up for it later in the next court.

But this year...it's almost noon, and there's no movement in the front yard.

When Qiaofeng heard it, she seemed to understand the meaning of Liu Nanny's words, so she took Qiaolan out to work.

At noon, Ruoyin was completely full after eating a big bowl of longevity noodles.

Before going to bed in the afternoon, Hongyi took Hongxiu by the hand, greeted her and celebrated her birthday, and then went back to the front yard.

Ruoyin was also enjoying himself and took a nap.

When she woke up, she saw that the faces of the servants who had been gloomy had changed, and there was unconcealable joy on their faces.

"Why, I just took a nap, and you are so happy?"

"Going back to Fujin, fourth master just ordered Su Peisheng to send a lot of things." Nanny Liu was cheerful as she waited on Ruoyin to change her clothes.

"I'm Fujin. No matter how angry Fourth Master is, he still needs to save face." Ruoyin covered her mouth with her right hand and yawned casually.

Grandma Liu shook her head and said in relief: "Look at this old slave, it's not just a matter of saving face. The gifts range from silks and satins to jewelry, to clothes and ornaments, especially the lychees. I heard that people still send them from the south non-stop. here."

"That's right, don't talk about lychee, the servants have never seen the styles of several clothes." Qiaofeng said, hesitant to speak but stopped, it was hard to say...

Ruoyin is not interested in clothes, but she is more interested in food.

"There are lychees, please wait for me to wash and clean my hands, I want to eat lychees."

"My dear Fujin, don't worry, fourth master spent a lot of money to have someone bring a box from the south. I heard it's very precious. The people in the backyard didn't share any of them. They are all in our main courtyard. "Grandma Liu said.

After a while, Ruoyin washed up and went to the hall.

I saw an exquisite box on the table of the Eight Immortals.

The box was neither big nor small, just as big as a jewelry box, and it was just right for her taste.

Too much of this thing can't be eaten, and it will break if left alone.

After Qiaofeng opened it, Ruoyin took a closer look, and saw that the box was full of bright red lychees.

Those lychees still have green branches and leaves, which look very fresh.

There was still a cold fog around it, so you didn't need to look to know that there must be a layer of ice underneath.

Qiaolan cut a lychee with scissors, put it in a plate, and planned to help Ruoyin peel it.

Seeing this, Ruoyin waved his hands and said, "I'll do it myself."

This kind of thing is nothing if you peel it off yourself.

The lychee meat is already tender, if the servant peels the shell and puts it in her mouth, the taste will change.

When Qiaolan handed the plate in front of her, she pinched a lychee and peeled it carefully with her fingernails.

She didn't pay attention just now, but now when she peeled the shells, she realized that these lychees were not ordinary lychees.

Compared with those bright red shells, these lychee shells are four parts slightly green and six parts red, and each has a circle of green lines.

This is the osmanthus green of the West Garden, which is the Zengcheng Gualv in the 21st century!

This kind of good thing is a rare and hard-to-find variety, and it has always been a tribute to the royal family.

It is also known as the "King of Lychees" in the litchi world, and its price is more than ten times that of other litchis.

However, if it is placed in modern times, it may be more than ten times.

The cheapest one costs 50,000 a piece, and even the newly planted subtrees are expensive.

It is rumored that because Zengcheng people have to pay tribute every year, they cut off more than a hundred hanging greens in a fit of anger, leaving only one mother tree.

It has become the Zengcheng Gualu of the 21st century, where a lychee was auctioned at a sky-high price of 55.5 RMB.

It seems...the world of the rich is really not as beautiful as ordinary people like me imagined.

We can't imagine the world of rich people...

However, Ruoyin is now in fourth master's favor.

Those who have not enjoyed it in the previous life will be able to enjoy it this time.

She peeled off the scaly and protruding peel, and bit down on the translucent, creamy, white and crystal-clear flesh.

Immediately, the mouth is full of sweetness, fragrance, and crispness.

The key is that it has a lot of meat, small core, thick fat but not overflowing pulp, and after eating it, the mouth and mouth will be fragrant.

In addition, there are ice cubes on the bottom, which has a cool taste.

"How about it, master, isn't it broken?" Mammy Liu asked cautiously.

"It's not bad, and it's very fresh. You should try it too." Ruoyin greeted generously.

But Nanny Liu and the others dared not eat it, they all shook their heads like rattles.

"I heard a poet once said that this thing is difficult to preserve. What is it called? I forgot..." Qiaofeng scratched his head.

Ruoyin smiled and said: "It's Bai Juyi. He once said that if you leave the branch, the color will change in one day, and the taste will change in three days. It's because this kind of fruit can't leave the branches and leaves, so it was called "Lizhi" at first, but now it's called Litchi homophonic."

"Yes, yes, it seems to be this."

Because the lychees were fresh, Ruoyin was greedy and couldn't stop eating.

In this dynasty, the transportation and storage conditions were very backward.

Litchi were transported from the south to the capital in the north, and they were already rotten.

The only way to make the lychees as fresh as possible is to speed up and keep adding fresh ice cubes.

In this capital city, only the powerful and powerful can eat a bite of not-so-fresh lychees.

But the lychees that Fourth Master asked people to bring over were extremely fresh and tender. It seems that he had asked people to do enough work early on.

So there has been no movement in the front yard, just wait for the litchi at this time.

"By the way, Qiaofeng, you said before... there are several styles of clothes, you haven't seen them before, so let me have a look." Just now Qiaofeng lifted the clothes with a look of embarrassment. Open mouth look.

She wants to see what weird clothes fourth master gave her!
