Chapter 274 The Lady is Unhappy
"Boil the Polo bottle in cold water first." Xiao Jiuyue suddenly remembered something. He didn't know whether the Polo bottle was strong or not, so he boiled one first to try.
"Okay." Mother Geng said, and took a Polo bottle, put it in the pot with cold water, and boiled it for a while. When the water boiled, the Polo bottle did not seem to be broken, so she started to boil all the Polo bottles.
After cooking, let it cool and dry, then pack it into cans.
"Miss, you know what, this canned food in a Polo bottle looks really good!" Mother Geng looked at the yellow canned oranges in the transparent Polo bottle. Not to mention eating them, it would look good just by displaying them there!
The tangerine flesh with the shredded orange inside can be seen clearly.
"Well, let's put a unique label on it. From now on, when people see a Polo bottle of this size, they'll know it's from us." Xiao Jiuyue said, "Everyone bought canned food, and this Polo bottle can be washed and used to store pickles and chili sauce. The money was not wasted at all."
Xiao Jiuyue suddenly thought of moldy tofu. Although it is called moldy tofu, it tastes particularly good and is a perfect match with this transparent Polo bottle!
"Miss, if it were me, I would also buy canned food just for this bottle." Mother Geng put the canned food into the pot to steam.
"It seems that there will be many people who have the same idea as Mother Geng in the future." Xiao Jiuyue was very satisfied with these Polo bottles. It seemed that she had to talk to Aisan in the future and asked him to buy all the bottles of this size for canning, no matter how many there were!
Send some to Lingnan. When the Lingnan longans and lychees are ripe, these Polo bottles can seal and preserve them for a longer time. There is no need to use a big jar like before, for fear that the whole jar of canned food will go bad if you are not careful!
One of the jars went bad before, what a shame!
Aishan was very efficient. He said it would take three to five days, and on the third day, he transported the Polo bottles to Lancang County. Aishan guaranteed that the remaining Polo bottles would all be delivered before the New Year.
"Aishan, from now on, I want all the Polo bottles of this size." Xiao Jiuyue said directly, "This time, there are 10,000 Polo bottles. If you have more left, I will buy tens of thousands more."
"More, tens of thousands more?" Aisan seemed to see an endless stream of silver waving towards him, and he was completely stunned.
"Why, no?" Xiao Jiuyue raised his eyebrows.
Aishan came back to his senses and said excitedly: "Yes, yes, I will go to Xijiang and find my cousin and that Polo merchant. Let alone tens of thousands, even a hundred thousand will be enough for him!"
After Xiao Jiuyue had settled the matter of the Polo Bottle, she went home in a happy mood. She deliberately passed by the school and listened to the sound of reading aloud in the school. The cold winter day didn't seem cold at all.
"Miss, there's a letter from Shengjing." Donggui took the letter and quickly handed it to Xiao Jiuyue.
Did Manager Jin find out?
Xiao Jiuyue saw the strange yet familiar handwriting on the letter. This graceful and majestic handwriting seemed to be... Jun Lie's?
After opening the letter, Xiao Jiuyue discovered that it was indeed from Jun Lie.
——Jiuyue, reading your letter is like meeting you in person, and your face is filled with joy when you read it.
When Xiao Jiuyue saw the opening words of the letter, she paused and continued reading. When she saw Jun Lie say that the oranges had been delivered to the emperor and had been awarded the Fu'an tribute oranges, and that an imperial edict would be issued soon, the corners of her lips couldn't help but rise.
Continuing to read, Xiao Jiuyue's brows furrowed involuntarily: "Juzi, can you still help him? Can you still help him cancel the arranged marriage?"
"Hey, you're fooling me like a three-year-old." Xiao Jiuyue was afraid that she didn't understand, so she went back and read it word by word. She recognized every word, but when they were put together, she couldn't recognize it.
Queen Mother, did you help the Third Prince cancel the arranged marriage just because you ate the oranges?
This seems like playing house, no, it's even worse than playing house. It's so sloppy that people can't believe it's real.
Xiao Jiuyue continued to read the letter. When she heard that Manager Jin was injured, she couldn't help but stand up. The hand holding the letter almost crushed the thin paper. She took a deep breath and continued to read. When she was sure that his life was not in danger and he needed to stay in Shengjing for a while to recuperate, she breathed a sigh of relief.
If anything happened to Manager Jin, she really didn't know how to explain it to the brothers Jin Wen and Jin Wu.
Xiao Jiuyue put down the letter, took a deep breath, and continued to open the letter from Manager Jin. The two letters were put together. Manager Jin only reported good news and not bad news, saying only that he had suffered a minor injury. The matter about Mr. Bai was also clearly written in the letter.
"Pa." Xiao Jiuyue's hand fell on the table, startling Lianxin who was bringing in the bird's nest. She raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Jiuyue's pretty face. It was still as beautiful as before, but there was a coldness in her eyes.
The lady was unhappy and even angry.
Lianxin didn't say anything, just stood aside silently, brewed a cup of strong tea, and placed it next to Xiao Jiuyue's hand.
Xiao Jiuyue read the letter from Manager Jin twice before coming to a conclusion: Mr. Bai went to Xiangcheng secretly, and returned secretly after his father got into trouble!
A year later, Bai Miaoyun accidentally fell into the water and became the prince's concubine.
If all this is a coincidence, Xiao Jiuyue feels that if she believes it, she must be stupid!
Although there is no substantial evidence, the theft of disaster relief funds is definitely related to the Bai family.
Xiao Jiuyue put the letter on the table and took a sip of the strong tea as usual. She slowly calmed down. She frowned and wondered, was this the Bai family's intention, or did her second aunt Xiao Xia also know about it?
If Xiao Xia also knew...
There was a chill in Xiao Jiuyue's eyes. Her grandmother valued friendship the most. Although she didn't say it on weekdays, she had been thinking about Xiao Xia ever since Xiao Ying came from afar to deliver food.
"Lianxin, do you have any family?" Xiao Jiuyue took a sip of strong tea. The slightly bitter taste of the tea made her mind clearer.
"No." Lian Xin shook her head and said, "My parents sold me to a human trafficker for my brother's betrothal gift. When I settled down in the mansion, I found out that my parents had already passed away."
Lianxin has very few memories of her parents.
"What about your brother?" Xiao Jiuyue asked.
"When the Xiao family was prosperous, he would ask me for money to support his nephew. Now..." Lian Xin lowered her eyes and shrugged, "Anyway, I just pretend I don't have this brother."
She used to bring money back every year to buy clothes and food for her nephew. At that time, her brother would tell everyone that this was his sister.
But after the Xiao family got into trouble, her brother even avoided seeing her, as if she were a plague.
"A person's true character is revealed when he is in trouble." Xiao Jiuyue patted Lianxin. The little girl was sold since she was a child and enjoyed the kindness of her brother with money. Unfortunately, he turned against her immediately after she got into trouble.
But, that’s my biological mother and my biological brother!
"Let's go to the main courtyard and tell grandma the good news." Xiao Jiuyue stood up and ordered people to gather everyone in the main courtyard.
Lianxin looked up in disbelief: The lady is obviously unhappy, how can it be good news?
