At the same time, in the residence of the Minister of Revenue.

After hearing Chen Wei catch the troublemaker in just a few words, the ladies present were stunned.

Several people looked at each other, obviously not expecting such an outcome.

"This, this shouldn't be the case. Miss Shen wasn't so sharp-tongued before, was she? How did she resolve such a big thing? Did those people really let it go? Did they really not make a fuss?"

"What did you say?!"

"Miss Lu actually went to buy the longevity cake herself? Are you sure it was the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion? When did she become close to Miss Shen?"

"From my sister's perspective... Miss Lu isn't close to Chen Wei. Perhaps the longevity cake is truly novel? Miss Lu has always been spoiled and favored at home, so she made an exception and bought some to try."

No matter what the young ladies in your family thought in their hearts, or how much they looked down on Miss Lu's behavior, they dared not say it out loud.

After all, she is the most favored daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and her status is several levels higher than theirs. How dare they gossip about Miss Lu behind her back?

If this gets out, wouldn't it make Miss Lu hate me?

"Sister... Miss Lu has already gone. She, as the daughter of the Prime Minister, is like this. Then we? Shouldn't we avoid suspicion?"

"I heard from the maid who brought the message that the cakes in the Changshou Shop are very novel. They are made of animals, and some are even species that swim in the sea. I have never seen the sea, let alone the creatures in the sea. I really want to see them."

"And even for such a small piece, the starting price is one or two taels of silver. I'm really curious what flavor sells for more than gold."

“........”

The young ladies were talking at once, and the more they talked, the more moved they became.

They are all unmarried young ladies, and they are naturally curious about new and beautiful things.

Not to mention... I tasted the longevity cake at the birthday party yesterday. It was indeed very delicious. I have been thinking about it since I returned home.

The last one!

The price of the curtain starts from one or two.

This is a sky-high price!

They became more and more curious about what kind of new product could be sold at such a sky-high price.

"Yes, sisters, Miss Lu has gone. If there is any disturbance in the capital, she will bear the brunt of it. We should not be affected, right?"

"How about we buy some and try them?"

Buy it and try it?

Once this thought arises, it cannot be suppressed.

Originally, they were embarrassed to save face and put on airs, resisting anything related to Chen Wei, fearing that their reputation would be ruined if they were associated with the name Chen Wei.

But now Miss Lu went to buy it in person, and she went there in the carriage or sedan chair of the Prime Minister's Mansion. All the people around saw it with their own eyes.

With such a big commotion, all the noble families in the capital would know about it within a day.

Then they send a servant to buy it, and no one should know, right?

The young ladies looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts.

"Well, what my sister said just now is not without reason. We are not friends with Miss Shen, and we haven't even shown up. How can we let our reputation be affected?"

"How about we buy one and try it?" someone suggested. "Just one. I'm just curious... not greedy."

The others remained silent, but upon closer inspection their eyes lit up.

soon!

The daughters of the assistant ministers of the Ministry of Revenue sent their maids out to buy longevity cakes.

Not long after, the maid came back with a small and exquisite longevity cake.

When they saw this novel thing, the young ladies stood up one after another, and then sat together with restraint and dignity, staring at the longevity cake which was not much bigger than a palm.

Each of the young ladies only got a small piece, which was not as big as what they got yesterday. After all, yesterday's longevity cake had several layers, while today's longevity cake was exquisite and delicate.

Before I could even satisfy my craving, it was gone in two bites.

Several young ladies pursed their lips and looked at each other, with surprise and unsatisfied feelings in their eyes, but they were too embarrassed to buy more.

Finally, someone couldn't sit still anymore and said, "You know what... this taste is really new and unique."

"Well, sisters, I have something else to do, so I'll go back to my room first."

"Sister, I'm leaving."

"I have something to do, so I'll go back to my room."

Just a quarter of an hour.

The young ladies who gathered together all found excuses to leave.

However--

Not long after the show ended.

A slender figure wearing a veil appeared from the back door. After stuffing a handful of silver melon seeds into the servant's pocket, the person slipped out of the mansion smoothly.
