Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress-Chapter 59 - Good Tea_1

“Wow, is this a silver bill?

That’s a lot of money!” Cai Fei was surprised and delighted, her eyes wide.

She slowly stroked the three large characters “One Hundred Taels” on the silver bill while trembling with excitement.

However, Cai Wei didn’t have the mind to focus on the numbers written on the silver bill.

She grabbed her mother’s hand and said urgently, “Mother, we can’t sell it!”

“Why can’t we sell it?”

Without hesitation, Lady Du pulled away her hand and took out a small bag filled with flower tea from beneath the kang table.

Cai Wei was at a loss for words.

She couldn’t possibly admit that this flower tea was a unique and invaluable rarity across the entire world.

If she did, wouldn’t she expose the secret of her space?

Thinking hard, she blurted out a feeble rationale, “Father always advised us to be fair and honest.

We bought this stuff for three copper coins.

How can we sell it for a hundred taels?

Isn’t that equivalent to swindling?

It’s better not to sell it!”

Lady Du, laughing, poked Cai Wei’s forehead and said, “How innocent of you!

Do you really believe that I am the type of person who gets blinded by greed?

I have already told that young master the original price of the flower tea, it was he who insisted on paying a hundred taels.

I had to accept, reluctantly, so as not to be impolite.”

Saying this, she folded the silver bill, put it back into her bosom, picked up the flower tea, and stepped outside.

“Um, mum…”

Cai Wei attempted to stop her, but it was futile.

Her mother, carrying the small bag of flower tea, left swiftly like a gust of wind.

“Older sister…”

Wu’er gently shook Cai Wei’s arm, and softly said, “Older sister, I’m hungry!”

“Little glutton!” Cai Wei chided.

In her mind, she thought, perhaps, that evildoer wouldn’t recognize these flowers.

After all, flowers were more of a pastime for women while they had nothing to do in the private quarters.

That evildoer, being a man with worldly ambitions, might not pay attention to such flowers and plants.

Even if he recognised them, there might not be any consequences.

If he ever grew suspicious, all she had to do was claim she bought them from street vendors.

There was nothing he could do to her.

With these thoughts, she calmed her nerves, stepped into the kitchen, and started cooking meticulously for the child.

However, Fei’er was still savoring the joy of their unexpected fortune.

She caught hold of Wen’er and asked, “Who exactly was it that can casually afford to spend a hundred taels?”

Wen’er took a moment to think and then, using her limited vocabulary, described, “He was a very handsome young master, even better looking than the Erlang god statue in the temple.

And, he was wearing a big white, fluffy cloak.

He was so imposing!”

White and fluffy!

In the kitchen, Mu Caiwei almost burst out laughing when she heard this description.

If that flirtatious evildoer knew his grand cloak would be given such a comical review, she wondered if he would still wear it in public!

At this moment, in the western part of Mu Family Village

The courtyard of Zhou Laowu’s house was packed to the brim with villagers who came to see the spectacle.

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.

They were all talking and pointing…

At the entrance, two high and expressionless guards were stationed, preventing any bystanders from getting close.

In fact, the guards were overly cautious.

The villagers weren’t particularly interested in the master inside the house, what sparked their fascination were the wild boars strewn haphazardly about the courtyard.

These wild boars had died horrific deaths: some were choked to death by severed windpipes; some had half of their heads blatantly bitten off; others bled to death without a fatal injury on them…

According to Jiujin, a gigantic white-eyed tiger the size of a donkey had appeared on the rear mountain.

The tiger was not only massive but extremely vicious, and it was this creature that had killed the wild boars.

Jiujin stumbled upon the scene and, after running into some friends on the mountain, they had helped him carry the boars back…

“My goodness, the Zhou family really has good luck.

Look at these wild boars, they could sell for at least seventy to eighty taels of silver!”

“What good fortune?

Didn’t you hear?

A tiger has appeared on the rear mountain.

From now on, they won’t be able to go hunting on the mountain.

Their livelihood has been cut off.

Where’s the good fortune in that?”

“What does it matter if it’s been cut off?

Now that they have the capital from these seven or eight pigs, they can change their job.

Who knows, they might even become prosperous…”

“All said and done, it’s their good luck.

Not only did they run into a tiger without getting hurt, but they also scored such a huge profit for free, and even received help from a wealthy person.

It truly is envy-inducing…”

The crowd was discussing excitedly, all with looks of envy on their faces.

Inside the room

Nangong Yi had already taken off his white fox fur cloak.

Dressed in a green sword-sleeve re-entrant pattern brocade cotton robe, he was sitting inside Zhou’s simple hall, smiling faintly as he gazed at the blooming flower in his teacup.

Green Manzi, a unique flower presented as a tribute from the Qu Luo Kingdom, had a magical whitening and beautifying effect.

Although not as rare as the Blue Snow Lotus, only the Empress Dowager, Imperial Mother, and Jin Guifei, the three women highest ranking in the palace, each received a pot.

Yang, who loved beauty, begged her mother for a Green Manzi but didn’t manage to obtain it.

In the end, he stepped in to ask his mother for it on her behalf.

Hence, he recognized this flower!

He had seen the woman who served this flower tea, she looked quite similar to the girl, about eighty to ninety percent.

According to what the woman said, her daughter bought the flower tea for three copper coins in the town.

It seemed that the cunning girl had kept her mother in the dark…

Hehe, how interesting!

On one side, Zhou Laowu was anxiously accompanying him, a humble smile forced onto his dark face.

He was muttering, unsure of what to talk about with this intimidating and noble young master.

This young master was gentle, polite, and approachable, but somehow, once he met the young master’s lazy and casual smiling eyes, he felt inexplicably scared, being totally unable to breathe like being weighed down by a boulder, which made him tongue-tied with nerves.

“Yo…

Young master…

please…

drink…

tea…”

Zhou Laowu stammered in a stumble, trying to converse with the man, imitating the rich men he had seen in the restaurants in the town.

Nangong Yi lifted his eyes and glanced at Zhou Laowu, who was so nervous that he was stuttering, and smiled warmly: “The taste of this flower tea is superb, it truly is rare to find such a good tea!”

“Yes, yes, Sister Wei has always been careful and that’s how she managed to buy such good tea…” Zhou Laowu clumsily replied.

Nangong Yi, hearing that, smiled with his eyes lowered!

So, the girl was called Sister Wei!
