Sheng Zhi almost laughed out loud at this sentence. He originally wanted to reply, "Your son is such an important official, why do his parents still come to his wife's house to catch the autumn breeze?" But seeing the embarrassment on the faces of Zhou Gaohuai and Sheng Li, he still endured it. , and said with a half-smile, "Then there's nothing we can do."
After finishing speaking, Sheng Zhi changed the subject, gave Brody Bai a quail egg, and said, "Brother, eat more, this is gold-wrapped jade. Because you are coming back, my mother specially asked the village to pick out fresh ones in advance. As soon as it was delivered to the house, it was cooked immediately."
It was Zhou's mother's eldest sister's idea to let Sheng Yue and Zhou Gaohuai live in the Sheng family. Seeing that Zhou's mother had hit such a snag, she was a little embarrassed. After hearing Sheng Zhi's words, she muttered in a low voice: "What gold is wrapped in jade?" , isn’t it just an egg!”
Nie Ying wanted to change the topic so as not to make the atmosphere so awkward, so she introduced with a slight smile: "Because these are not ordinary quail eggs. The quails that lay eggs are fed and raised with precious medicinal materials such as ginseng and red dates. After they are born, The eggshell is golden, and the egg white inside is like white jade. It tastes unique and strengthens the body, so it is called 'gold-wrapped jade'."
She hadn't mentioned that all the quail eggs here had just been taken out this morning and quickly delivered to the Zhenguo Palace from Zhuangzi. They were very precious, and one egg was worth two taels of silver. Brody Bai had been in poor health since childhood. Lu Mo's original intention was to prepare a banquet to welcome her youngest son. It happened to be the same day as the Zhou family's arrival, otherwise she was too lazy to entertain this relative.
