Chapter 140
After the stewardess went out, Butler Tang reported to the eldest lady that Mrs. Li went home today and brought back seven jars of honey for the Tang family.
"Oh, are they all five pounds per earthen jar?" The eldest lady realized the benefits of honey, and it seemed that it made her look more radiant than eating bird's nests.
For a woman who loves to take care of herself, this is the best supplement and the best beauty product.
She sat in the position of Mrs. Tang's wife. Her husband also had some concubines. Of course, she did not want to grow old and gave her husband to others. For the happiness of her son and grandson, as well as her own happiness, self-care was the most important thing.
"The earthen jar that was delivered is smaller than the previous one. It seems to be a new earthen jar. It can hold two kilograms of honey. But after listening to Li's explanation, we are using it to give gifts. Of course, one earthen jar can hold one catty.
, saying that this kind of honey is very rare, so what was delivered this time was only six kilograms and two kilograms of honey nests in an earthen jar."
"Are you talking about the kind of honey nest that you eat with your hands?" When the eldest lady heard that there was a honey nest, she looked surprised. A woman who had eaten bird's nests with delicacies from all over the world actually liked honey nests.
"Yes, madam."
"Quickly, quickly, bring that tile of honey-filled nest to my yard. I want to use it to entertain the master and the young master, and to eat it as snacks in my free time."
"Okay, let Jinhua go to the warehouse to get it. Just say that it was the eldest lady and the housekeeper who told me. No one else can know about the honey."
After listening to the housekeeper's words, the eldest lady waved to the people around her to find Jinhua. Jinhua was sent to look after the grandson in his yard today. He has not come back yet. She knew that she must have made a handover with Mrs. Li.
The housekeeper left the eldest lady's yard and went to the master's study to report. Today's progress needs to be reported to the master and the eldest young master.

Meng Zhaojun has not been to the Tang family for several days. Since that day, mother and daughter were "kicked out" by Mrs. Tang after they had dinner.
Mrs. Meng was very angry. After all, she was also an official's wife. Her husband was a parent official in the county and was the object of flattery. She was treated like this by Mrs. Tang. She took her daughter back to the house angrily.
She was still sulking when she returned to the house. Even if Mrs. Tang sent someone to bring cakes the next day, she could not calm down.
Meng Zhaojun was quite angry at first, but she was unwilling to let her cultivation plan fail. If she gave up, wouldn't her previous efforts be in vain?
Her pride does not allow her to give up, and her pride does not allow her to fail in her cultivation.
She persuaded her mother many times, but not only was her mother not allowed to go to the Tang family, but she was also not allowed to have anyone help her write greeting cards and send things to the Tang family.
Mrs. Meng knew that her daughter was smart and capable, but she forbade Meng Zhaojun from writing greeting cards or sending anything to the Tang family.
Meng Zhaojun could not persuade her mother, nor could she go to the Tang family, nor could she send anything to the Tang family, which made her a little frustrated.
She couldn't just become strangers to the Tang family. She also wanted to meet the young lady Tang Shunyan.
Bored and helpless, when Mr. He was learning to embroider purses, he thought of embroidering purses. Her craftsmanship was not good enough, but she could embroider an ordinary purse, but not an exquisite one.
Meng Zhaojun embroidered the purse string by stitch. She could not do other difficult embroidery, so she could only embroider a bamboo tree on the purse.
Ask the maid to put spices on the embroidered purse and prepare to give it to Tang Shunyan on his birthday.
Tang Shunyan's birthday is two days later, a few days earlier than hers.
Meng Zhaojun has already embroidered the purse and asked the maids around him to find out the news. Will Tang Shunyan's birthday party be a big one?
If it is a big event, will invitations be sent to their homes?
The mother would throw away the invitations sent or take them to the banquet with her.
While she was thinking about it, the maid next to her came in and reported:
"Miss, the madam wants you to go to her yard."
"Oh...okay!"
Meng Zhaojun walked out of the room and entered the door. There was a maid beside his mother standing at the door.
"Miss, Madam invites you."
"Well, mother asked me to go to her yard. Is there something wrong?"
Meng Zhaojun may have been talking to his mother about going to the Tang family these days. Mrs. Meng was also angry with her and asked her to stay in the yard every time and not to wander around casually. She was not allowed to come to the yard to bother her unless summoned.
.
"Miss, my wife wants to make you new clothes."
"Oh, that's very good..." Meng Zhaojun seemed to understand that it was possible that her mother wanted to attend the banquet and make clothes for her. After all, the winter clothes have been made, and the spring clothes should be made after the Chinese New Year.
Bar!
When Meng Zhaojun entered his mother's yard, he did not go to her room, but to the living room where guests were entertained. If someone came to help make clothes, then they must be entertaining in the living room.
As soon as she entered the living room door, she saw the owner of a tailor shop sitting on a chair drinking tea.
Their family is not like the Tang family, which has many shops and many embroiderers here.
Their main business is in the capital. After more than a year here, Mrs. Meng only bought two shops in the county, one making snacks and one selling cosmetics.
"Mother……"
Meng Zhaojun entered the living room, saluted his mother, and nodded to the shop owner sitting beside him.
When the shop owner saw the official lady nodding to her, she stood up and returned the salute, then smiled at Mrs. Meng and said:
"Mrs. Meng, Miss Meng is becoming more and more beautiful. She looked like a little beauty when she was a child. She will definitely be a beautiful and talented woman when she grows up." Mrs. Ding, the owner of the tailor shop, has a sweet mouth and is worthy of being a businesswoman.
.
"Ms. Ding, please measure her and make a new set of clothes for both of us."
"Mrs. Meng, do you want to wear clothes for home or for banquets?"
"Come to the party! Be unique and don't match others' clothes."
"Okay, I'm going to give you my measurements. When will your clothes be used?" Ms. Ding, the owner of the tailor shop, was afraid that she didn't have enough time.
"It must be used in two days."
"Well, even if we only have two days today, we will work overtime to get it done. Madam Meng, please don't worry. Even if we put down all the business, we will help you make the clothes first."
"good……"
Lady Ding, the owner of the tailor shop, helped Meng Zhaojun measure the size, and then helped Mrs. Meng measure the size.
In fact, their clothes have been custom-made in this shop, but the owner of the shop, out of caution, would tailor them every time he made clothes for them.
It is difficult to change the clothes when they are made too small, and they have to be changed when they are too big. Mrs. Meng may not change much for a while, but Miss Meng is different. The children will all grow taller.
Mrs. Ding took the measurements and asked them what color fabric they wanted. She also brought a sample of the fabric.
Mrs. Meng chose fabrics for making clothes for her daughter and herself. In order to make the clothes quickly, Mrs. Ding took her belongings and exited the living room.
"Mom, what kind of banquet are we attending?" Meng Zhaojun had already made a guess, but still asked more questions.
"You are a ghost and you ask questions knowingly." Mrs. Meng snorted.
