[1] After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure

341-342

Chapter 341: How bad could it be?

Old Master Liang was heartbroken.

He said with a fake smile, "Our family's rubber will arrive a few days later. It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. My grandson doesn't have rubber, so he can't give it to me. Otherwise, if he has anything good, he will send it to my courtyard immediately."

Old Master Xi smiled and said, "Then in the next few days, you will be able to wear rubber-soled leather shoes. It's just that it might not rain anymore in the next few days."

In any case, he was the only one enjoying the limelight.

Thereafter, Old Master Liang wouldn't be able to show off anymore.

Old Master Liang thought to himself, this old man was shameless.

He cursed inwardly at those people who were handling this matter.

Why did their family lag a few days behind the Xi family?

Look at how smug this old man was.

Old Master Xi's good friends couldn't help but come forward to ask him for the rubber-soled shoes.

"Old Xi, you're not being kind."

"Since your family already has some rubber, do you want to give us a pair of rubber-soled shoes as well?"

"That's right. It's not easy for us during rainy days. It's uncomfortable to wear wet shoes."

"Old Xi, are we still friends? If we are, then give us a pair of rubber-soled shoes."

Old Master Xi waved his hand with a smile. "I'll give it to you. Later, ask your servants to bring your shoe size to my residence. I'll have someone make them for you."

He looked as high-spirited as he could be.

Old Master Liang and Old Master Qi were heartbroken.

Their families also had rubber shoes, but they hadn't arrived yet.

Old Master Fei was more reserved. Although he wanted a pair, he didn't reveal it.

Moreover, after some time, their family should be able to transport their rubber shoes to the capital.

At that time, he would get someone to make a few pairs of rubber-soled shoes for him to wear.

After a while, the emperor came for the morning court.

Then, everyone was observant to notice that he was also wearing a pair of rubber-soled leather shoes.

He looked even more exquisite than Old Master Xi.

Even the emperor was wearing rubber-soled leather shoes. How bad could it be?

Therefore, after the court was adjourned, the high-ranking and old officials surrounded Old Master Xi.

They wanted him to give them a pair of rubber-soled leather shoes. If he didn't want to give them, he could sell them.

Those who were on good terms with Xi Xinheng also surrounded him to ask for a pair of rubber-soled leather shoes.

Seeing this, Old Master Liang and Old Master Qi felt sour in their hearts.

Their family also had rubber.

This time, the Xi family had stolen the limelight.

However, the amount of rubber that the Xi family had brought over was limited.

When the time came, these guys would definitely come to them to ask for a pair of rubber-soled leather shoes.

Thinking of this, they felt comfortable again.
