Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 248 The County Magistrate's Concubine

"Well, this floral water feels cool when applied."

She raised her hand and sniffed it, then said leisurely, "The smell is fresh and elegant, very good."

After hearing what Madam Shen said, Gu Qinglian smiled gently and said, "Yes, Madam Shen is really a person who knows what's good."

An Yue, who was standing by, was secretly delighted in her heart: [This simple floral water is actually favored by these high-ranking officials and their wives. Can we consider making two more high-end products? ]

Mrs. Shen motioned to An Yue to put it away.

An Yue walked forward, picked up the lid gently, and covered the toilet water.

Madam Shen kept smelling the floral water on the back of her hand, and smiled at An Yue and said, "This little girl is very clever and clever, and she is also very cute."

An Yue lowered her eyes and responded modestly, "Madam, you are too kind."

"Not bad, not bad. Please leave two bottles of this floral water for me first!"

Gu Qinglian, who was sitting next to her, agreed with a smile: "It is a blessing for this girl to be favored by Madam Shen!"

Madam Gu Qinglian, the chief clerk, said softly to An Yue, "Miss, did you bring any honey today?"

An Yue quickly replied: "Of course I brought it."

When Mrs. Shen heard about honey, her eyes lit up immediately. She asked in surprise, "There's honey?"

An Yue quickly took out a small honey jar from her backpack, unscrewed the lid and handed it to Mrs. Shen, saying, "This is wild honey."

Mrs. Shen was surprised when she saw the honey in front of her.

She quickly took the small honey pot from An Yue's hand, sniffed it carefully, and said, "Hmm, very good, very good. Just by sniffing it, the fragrance of flowers is overflowing, and it is extremely sweet."

"Mrs. Zhao, I want two bottles of this floral water and two bottles of honey."

Gu Qinglian smiled happily and said, "Okay, okay, it's rare that Madam Shen likes it. I'll arrange for the servants to pack it and send it to your house in a while."

After Gu Qinglian finished speaking, she turned to An Yue and said, "Young lady, you have to prepare more of this honey and floral water in the future! Madam Shen is very popular, and if you can get her approval, it won't be long before a new trend is set off in the whole Yongchuan County!"

An Yue smiled and said, "Floral water is no problem, but this wild honey... is limited in quantity, and I'm afraid the supply may not meet the demand."

Mrs. Shen, who was sitting next to them, couldn't help but smile proudly when she heard Gu Qinglian praising her like that.

However, after hearing An Yue say that the amount of wild honey was limited, he quickly said, "What? Miss, do you mean that this honey will be sold out soon?"

An Yue bowed and said, "Yes, ma'am."

"Girl, if you want to buy this again in the future, where can you find it?"

An Yue explained to Madam Shen: "It is extremely difficult to find."

"The life span of each of these bees is less than a month."

When the two ladies heard this, they looked surprised.

At this point, all that’s missing is a handful of melon seeds per person.

"In its short life, a bee can only collect three or two drops of honey at most."

An Yue picked up a small honey pot in front of her and continued, "It takes hundreds of bees a lifetime to collect such a small pot of honey!"

"Let's put aside the fact that it's not easy for bees to collect honey. Their nests are usually built in deep mountains and forests, or on cliffs. They are extremely hidden and difficult to be noticed."

"Even if you find a beehive, collecting honey is a very difficult task. You can't be impatient or too fast, and you have to understand the habits of the bees."

"If you don't use the right method to collect honey, you will inevitably be chased and stung by bees."

Madam Shen and Gu Qinglian listened to An Yue talking, and they were listening with great interest.

Mrs. Shen raised her eyebrows and asked, "After hearing what the young lady said, it's no wonder that honey is so rare!"

An Yue put the small honey pot in her hand back into the backpack.

Mrs. Shen said quickly, "Miss, honey is so rare and precious. It would be a pity to miss it. Please save ten jars for me."

Gu Qinglian smiled and asked, "How much is the small honey pot that the young lady sent today?"

An Yue lifted the cover of the backpack and said, "There are twenty cans of toilet water and only ten small honey jars."

Gu Qinglian and Madam Shen both looked into An Yue's backpack.

Gu Qinglian said to An Yue: "Miss, this amount is really too little. I left ten small honey pots for Madam Shen. There is not a single one left in the shop!"

Madam Shen couldn't suppress the little pride on her face, and said with a smile: "It's only Madam Zhao who has to give it up."

Gu Qinglian pretended to be helpless and said, "It's rare that Madam Shen likes it, so I have to do this."

An Yue secretly said in her heart: [The two ladies are really very thoughtful when they are together. ]

After the two of them came and went, it was almost noon.

Madam Shen turned her head and looked at the window, then said to Madam Gu Qinglian, the wife of the chief clerk, "Madam Zhao, it is almost noon, so I will take my leave now."

"That's fine. Then we won't keep Madam Shen here for long. I'll arrange for the servants to pack the food for her and then send the honey and floral water to your house."

Madam Shen and Gu Qinglian stood up one by one, and the maid standing outside the door hurriedly followed Madam Shen.

At this time, Gu Qinglian turned around and motioned to An Yue to wait here, and she accompanied Madam Shen out of the reception hall until Madam Shen left.

An Yue sat in the recliner, rubbed her temples a few times, and thought to herself: [The drought in the village is severe now, and we must find a way to make money as soon as possible to store water and grain. ]

After seeing Mrs. Shen off, Mrs. Gu Qinglian, the chief clerk's wife, quickly returned to the reception hall.

When An Yue saw Gu Qinglian coming in, she quickly stood up.

Gu Qinglian quickly asked An Yue to sit down. She slowly sat aside and gestured to the maid waiting outside the door to pour tea for An Yue.

She turned to An Yueci and smiled, "Young lady is a smart person. We worked very well together today."

An Yue smiled sweetly, with two dimples on the corners of her mouth, and said modestly, "It's my aunt's praise."

Soon the maid came in with a tea tray and poured tea for An Yue.

Gu Qinglian, who was sitting next to her, picked up the teacup, scraped off the foam with the tea lid, covered her face with her hands and took a sip.

Putting down the teacup, he looked at An Yue and said leisurely, "This 'Mrs. Shen' just now is actually the favorite concubine of County Magistrate Shen. When you see her in the future, you must be more careful in what you say and do!"

An Yue quickly stood up, knelt down and saluted, saying, "Thank you for your reminder, Auntie."

"Okay, okay, sit down quickly!"

An Yue scratched her head and said, "Mrs. Shen was here just now. She looked calm and kind!"

Gu Qinglian stood up, walked to the potted plant by the window, moved the soil, picked up a pair of scissors and trimmed the branches and leaves.

She said with a hum, "She is always kind-hearted, but actually she is vicious and cruel."

After hearing this, An Yue couldn't help but shudder.

"But don't be afraid, young lady. I'm on good terms with her on the surface."
