Chapter 264: This Lady Xiao's eyebrows and features are exactly the same as his aunt's
He couldn't have come all the way from Shangjing just to visit her. Although they were cooperating in two businesses, she didn't think it was so important to the Ning family.
Ning Yuanchen smiled and said, "My fourth brother, Ning Yuanze, is the county magistrate of Yun'an County. I came here mainly to visit him. I just happened to learn that Mrs. Xiao also lives in Yun'an County, so I came to visit her."
"When we collaborated on the spicy sesame oil, I had heard of Mrs. Xiao's name and was curious about who could make such a delicious seasoning."
"Later, we collaborated on soap and perfumed soap, and I became even more surprised and curious. Not long ago, I heard that Mrs. Xiao presented a high-yield crop called potatoes, and I was even more impressed."
"A few days ago, after arriving in Yun'an County, I heard Fourth Brother talking about cement. It turned out to be the work of Lady Xiao. It's truly dazzling."
"So this time, I had the opportunity and decided to get to know him no matter what."
As he said this, he looked at Xiao Ying inconspicuously. Is this really just a country woman?
Xiao Ying thought to herself, is he really coming for her? Otherwise, she wouldn't understand it so clearly.
"I see. But what Master Ning said is just my good luck. I am just an ordinary village woman."
"Madam Xiao is so modest." Ning Yuanchen smiled and shook his head: "Even if you only take out one of these things, it is enough to attract attention, not to mention that they are all made by Madam."
He was really curious about how Xiao Ying did it. He had heard that she was just an ordinary village woman, and her personality changed drastically a few years ago because of her husband's death, and she even sold her children. How could she suddenly become so powerful?
But Xiao Ying didn't intend to explain, she just smiled and invited him to have tea.
Ning Yuanchen originally just took a sip out of courtesy, but he didn't expect that the tea would leave a lingering fragrance on his lips and teeth, and the aftertaste was long after drinking it. Even the tribute given by the emperor was no more than this.
What surprised him even more was that the fatigue from the car ride was swept away, making him feel full of energy.
What kind of tea is this? Why is it so delicious?
He couldn't help but drink two more sips, and the cup was almost dry. Yulan immediately replaced it for him, and Ning Yuanchen was not embarrassed at all.
"Madam, this tea is so delicious, so I..."
He raised his eyes to look at Xiao Ying, and was about to say something else, but suddenly froze.
Xiao Ying was also sipping tea, the teacup covering most of her face, leaving only her forehead and lowered eyes visible.
At that moment, Ning Yuanchen was struck by lightning, and a figure deep in his memory was completely awakened. He finally understood why the person in front of him looked so familiar.
The upper half of Mrs. Xiao's face was exactly the same as that of his younger aunt Ning Leshu!
Especially when we were young, they were exactly the same!
He stood there in a daze, forgetting even what he was going to say. Then he thought of something and looked at Chen Xinghai again.
With this comparison, he finally understood why Chen Xinghai looked familiar?
Chen Xinghai doesn't look like his aunt, but he is somewhat similar to his aunt's second son, his cousin Han Xi.
This discovery shocked him even more.
If Xiao Ying just looked like his aunt, it could be said to be a coincidence. After all, there are indeed people in this world who look alike.
But how do you explain that Chen Xinghai looks like his cousin?
His first reaction was that there must be something wrong!
His look was indeed a bit rude, and naturally attracted the attention of Xiao Ying and Chen Xinghai. Xiao Ying frowned slightly and put down the teacup.
A hint of anger flashed across Chen Xinghai's face, and he stared at Ning Yuanchen with extreme dissatisfaction.
He had noticed that there was something wrong with this guy before. Was he attracted to his mother?
Damn Mr. Ning, he is clearly a pervert!
Ning Yuanchen's entourage and coachman also felt a little uncomfortable. Although the young master had been with many women before, he had never been impolite. What happened this time?
The attendant immediately sent a secret message to remind him, and Ning Yuanchen finally came to his senses and felt a little embarrassed.
“Ahem…”
He coughed lightly to hide his surprise, but his heart seemed to be burning with fire, and a huge mystery was swirling in his mind.
"It's all because the tea is so delicious. It's the best I've ever seen in my life. I was a little rude. I hope Madam Xiao won't blame me."
The smile on Xiao Ying's face faded a lot, and he wasn't as polite as before.
"If Mr. Ning likes it, I'll have someone pack you two taels."
Ning Yuanchen quickly declined: "How can I do that? I just thought that if I could sell it, it would be worth a fortune."
Xiao Ying said, "There's no way I can sell it. I only have enough tea for myself."
This is naturally not ordinary tea, but it was found in the Xianfu Shan Gong Hall. The more you drink, the less you have.
She originally thought that Ning Yuanchen was a distinguished guest, so she specially brought him here to entertain him, but the person in front of her seemed to be a little hypocritical, which disappointed her.
"For such a good tea, it's normal that the yield is low."
Ning Yuanchen was trying to make small talk. He wanted to ask Xiao Ying indirectly about her background, but he was worried about arousing her vigilance.
Moreover, according to Ruyi Restaurant and Ning Yuanze, Xiao Ying was from Hongye Town, Yun'an County, but she lived in another village before she got married. It is impossible for her to have any connection with Shangjing.
"I actually came here for another thing."
Temporarily suppressing the mystery in his heart, he returned to his usual elegant and graceful self.
"Mr. Ning, please feel free to tell me if you have anything to say."
Xiao Ying had been observing him, and apart from being a little rude just now, there was nothing wrong with him.
Ning Yuanchen smiled and said, "Soaps are selling very well in Shangjing, especially the custom-made ones. I've received quite a few orders recently, so I brought some here this time."
The attendant immediately presented a list. Xiao Ying flipped through it and found that there were actually seventy or eighty items, but he was not particularly surprised.
After all, Shangjing is the capital of Yue Kingdom, so it is normal that there are more rich people there.
"Mr. Ning, you are so thoughtful. My Xingyun is in charge of the soap business. When she comes back, I will give her the order. She will arrange it and try to complete it in the shortest time possible."
Chen Xingyun took Qiuli and Qingyu to the county town early this morning. The business in Yun'an County has stabilized, and she wants to open a shop in a nearby county town. She is busy with this today.
"Mrs. Xiao is so amazing, I didn't expect your daughter to be no less capable. I admire her."
Ning Yuanchen showed a bit of surprise. Xiao Ying's daughter was only fourteen years old? I didn't expect that she could take over the soap business. It was really impressive.
"Mr. Ning, you are too kind. We are just running a small business and cannot compare with you."
Ning Yuanchen waved his hand and said modestly: "I just manage a few restaurants. They are all assets left by the previous generation."
"By the way, Madam Xiao, if you have any business in the future, you must remember me. The Ning family and I will never treat you unfairly."
His intuition told him that Xiao Ying would definitely not stop there.
"If I have such luck again in the future, I will never forget Master Ning."
Xiao Ying responded casually. In fact, starting from cement, he didn't intend to get too involved with Ruyi Restaurant.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
Ning Yuanchen was finally satisfied. After the two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, he said goodbye and left.
He really couldn't suppress the doubts in his heart and wanted to find out what was going on immediately. Was Xiao Ying related to his aunt?
