Chapter 456: Forced Purchase
Chen Nuo's refusal to sell did not dissuade Qiu Niang from the idea.
On the eighth floor of Jiangxue Tower, in addition to singing "Peach Blossom Fan", "Peony Pavilion" is also sung.
Orioles chirp at dawn in the jade trees of Jinling, flowers bloom early in the Qinhuai waterside pavilions. Who knew the ice would melt so easily? I watched him build his red mansion, I watched him entertain guests, and I watched his mansion collapse. Here, amidst the mossy, blue tiles, I once slept in a dreamlike state; I've witnessed fifty years of rise and fall. No one in Wuyi Lane is surnamed Wang, ghosts cry at Mochou Lake, and owls roost on Phoenix Terrace. Dreams of the ruined mountains are the most real, the old land hard to lose. I don't believe this map is changing manuscripts. I'll compose a lament for Jiangnan, and sing it until I grow old.
This is "Peach Blossom Fan".
It turns out that all the vibrant flowers are now abandoned to the broken wells and dilapidated walls. What can be done about the beautiful scenery? Who can enjoy the joyful moments? Morning flies and evening rolls away, clouds and mists adorning the emerald pavilion; raindrops and wind, misty waves and painted boats - the people of the brocade screen look down upon this beautiful time.
This is "The Peony Pavilion".
"Your Highness, how about I do the opposite?" Qiu Niang thought for a moment.
"Qiu Niang, you are planning to use both soft and hard tactics." Zhu Huaizhen joked.
Afterwards, Zhu Huaizhen held the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and smashed it, squinting his big grape eyes with happiness.
Sugar-heart abalone, pineapple sea cucumber, white shark lips, young deer tendons, claw meat, golden shark fin, ivory clam meat, spider fish glue, quail eggs, ham, pork ribs, clean winter bamboo shoots, king oyster mushrooms, chrysanthemum mushrooms, wild pine mushrooms, morels, snow bamboo fungus, Shaoxing wine, eighteen ingredients, eighteen delicious flavors. The moment you lift the lotus leaf covering the jar, the rich meaty aroma is so fragrant that even a Buddha would jump over the wall.
The winter in Shangjing, the capital of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, was really long.
Fortunately, there is Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
"Your Highness, I'll try again. If it doesn't work, you can take action." Qiu Niang sighed lightly.
On the first day, Qiu Niang delivered pastries.
For example, honey-floating crispy pear flower, spring water, ice and snow cold yuanzi, Bijian bean cake, Qiongye cake, butter abalone, Danai cake, Jiandao sugar lychee, lotus crispy, rice moon cake, etc. The food is exquisite and sweet but not greasy.
Especially the Danai cake, which is the most disliked cake by Empress Roujia of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Murong Yueluo.
To make this Danai cake, plums are picked, peeled, and pitted. They're then blanched briefly in water boiled with white plums and licorice to remove the sourness, then air-dried and left to cool thoroughly. Then, nuts are mixed in with crushed nuts—Zhu Huaizhen likes pine nuts, Tu Mi likes walnuts, and Lou Li likes cashews—and mixed with honey, then rolled into small balls. Finally, the nut and honey filling is stuffed into the plums, steamed until cooked through, and then cooled.
Sure enough, Shen Nuo's face turned cold. He no longer gave Princess Ronghua free food and drinks, but wanted to collect money from Princess Ronghua.
The next day, Qiu Niang sent the kingfisher feathers.
For example, there are silver-plated and gold-inlaid kingfisher feather inlaid stone squirrel and grape double happiness head flowers, copper-plated and gold-inlaid kingfisher feather inlaid stone descendants head flowers, kingfisher feather stone gourd screens, silver-plated and kingfisher feather apricot leaf pots, silver-plated and gold-inlaid kingfisher feather inlaid phoenix hairpins with flowers, silver-plated and gold-inlaid kingfisher feather beaded earrings, silver-plated and gold-inlaid kingfisher feather inlaid pearl and gem basin fancy hairpins, kingfisher feather flower picture hanging screens, kingfisher feather pool full of Yinshan and so on, which are full of jewels and sparkling.
Shen Nuo thought about it for a long time, but ultimately did not take any action.
On the third day, Qiu Niang sent a jade ornament.
For example, there are emerald egret and lotus hat top, emerald squirrel and grape pendant, emerald gold and gemstone bowl, emerald Ganoderma lucidum-shaped washbasin, emerald duck holding grain ears, emerald cup with double dragon ears and circular pattern, emerald flat-lid bottle with ring ears and chrysanthemum pattern, pure gold auspicious jade pendant earrings, emerald lid button, eight-protruding halberd and pheasant pattern hoof-foot copper censer, emerald hollow bat, Buddha's hand and pomegranate pattern ear pick hairpin... it is very luxurious.
"Qiu Niang, let me say one more thing. I'm going to force you to buy it." Zhu Huaizhen smiled like a flower, his eyes moving.
