Xu Wanying was almost going moldy in Qingxi Pavilion. Fortunately, the system had an entertainment function that could play some movies and TV series in her mind.

At the moment, she was watching a highly rated comedy and was immediately amused.

"Hahahaha——" She closed her eyes, leaning on the recliner and rocking slowly, just letting out a few strange chuckles from time to time, looking a little scary.

The two maids standing by looked at her with worry on their faces.

"Madam, what happened? Did you fall asleep?"

"What are you talking about? Maybe you are having a sweet dream. Anyway, we are here to watch over you, so nothing serious will happen."

She didn't calm down until she finished watching a drama.

When she sat up, she found that her lower abdomen was a little sore. It was obvious that she had laughed too much and had been exerting force on her abdomen, causing some soreness.

[System, system, I just watched a comedy. Am I in a particularly good mood? ]

[Yes, when the host watched that comedy, his mood leaped twenty times and he laughed out loud five times.]

[Then do you have enough energy? I will do this in the future. You show me comedy, I will give you energy, and then we can eat melons happily! ] Xu Wanying felt happy immediately.

She is truly a genius. She actually came up with this great method of self-production and self-sales, which is comparable to a perpetual motion machine.

The system was silent for a long time, obviously speechless because of her.

[Host, only the joy generated by the host's external stimulation can be transformed into energy. The stimulation provided by the system itself does not count. Please do not cheat, there is no shortcut to charging energy.] The system warned righteously.

Xu Wanying suddenly felt bored and couldn't help but curl her lips and said, "Tsk, boring!"

Her road to success is long and difficult!

"Madam, the prince's wife is here." The maid outside announced.

"Please ask her to come in." Xu Wanying happened to be tired of watching movies and TV shows, and was ready to change her mind. She wanted to see what this sister-in-law came here for.

"Third sister-in-law, how are you today?"

Before people entered the yard, they could already hear Li Chunlan's loud voice.

Before Xu Wanying could answer, she saw a large group of people following Li Chunlan. They were all strong and sturdy old women. Every two of them were carrying a large box, a total of six boxes.

"You have a broken head and have been recovering at home. Although I sent you an apology last time, it was mostly medicinal herbs and supplements. You were lying in bed at the time, and I thought you didn't have the energy to spend on food, clothing and dressing. I saw that you were feeling better a few days ago, so I packed a few more boxes and brought them over."

Li Chunlan waved her hand, and immediately a maid opened all six boxes.

The first box was silk fabrics. Li Chunlan said casually, "I heard that my third sister-in-law likes Sichuan brocade. I have plenty of it here, so I picked out a few brightly colored ones that are suitable for a young girl like you. Of course, my sister-in-law has poor taste. If you don't like it, when you feel better, let's go to my private store to pick one."

"I picked out these pieces of gauze to make a tent for you. The tent on your bed was splattered with blood before, but I never thought about it until I was choosing a gift today. I asked the maids to cut it and hang it up to let it breathe and look good! I was lying on the bed with nothing to do, so I stared at the top of the tent. It was very interesting."

When Li Chunlan talked about these Shu brocades and silks, her eyes were shining, completely different from her previous vulgarity, revealing a kind of confidence and a sense of comfort that came easily to her.

Apparently, this is her comfort zone where she excels.

Before Xu Wanying could even open her mouth, the system was already surprised: [Oh my god, your sister-in-law is indeed the daughter of an imperial merchant, she is so rich! The pieces of gauze she is holding are tributes, called Yuejin gauze. The nobles in the palace must be favored concubines to wear these, and they are cut down and used as outer gauze to show off in the streets and tell the whole harem that she is favored. ]

[Or it could be cut into a close-fitting nightgown, worn to seduce the emperor when serving him in bed. This kind of moon brocade gauze would faintly shine in the light, as bright as the moon, hence the name. The noble concubine who first made the nightgown to seduce the emperor is now one of the four concubines, and was named the Moon Concubine by the emperor, all thanks to this moon brocade gauze.]

[Your sister-in-law is so arrogant that she actually used this yarn to make mosquito nets and gave you several pieces. Tsk tsk, no wonder merchants are ranked at the bottom of the social ladder. They live a more luxurious life than the nobles in the palace. If they have more power, what will happen?]

When Xu Wanying saw these cloths, she didn't take them seriously at first.

After all, she also came from the modern era and thought she had seen many strange things, but after listening to the system's introduction, she suddenly felt completely different.

Tribute, oh, she never thought that one day she would be able to live a life where she would spend half of the tribute and tear it in half.

Not to mention Xu Wanying, even the person involved, Li Chunlan, could not help but stand there in a daze after hearing the system's popular science.

She had always known that the Yangzhou salt merchants were extremely wealthy, especially since her father was one of the four major salt merchants, which made him even richer. It was not surprising that his family had tributes.

But she didn't expect that the tributes those nobles had were not as much as those from their own family.

"Sister-in-law, this is too expensive, you'd better take it..." Xu Wanying started to be polite.

"Why are you in such a hurry, third sister-in-law? I haven't finished the introduction yet!" Li Chunlan interrupted her directly.

She brought these gifts purely to please Xu Wanying, and she never thought of taking them back.

You have to make people happy!
