Madam Huang really liked Manbao's smile. Since the white peony was of great quality and not expensive, and since she had already bought the yaohuang peonies for 1,250 taels, she naturally didn't mind buying two pots of white peonies. So she nodded with a smile, "Sure, then I'll take two pots."
Madam Wei had just outbid Second Madam Ji to get the moutan peony and was very happy, indicating that she would also buy two pots.
Although Madam Ming didn't manage to buy any flowers, she wasn't too upset. After all, Madam Huang was her husband's superior's wife; had she actually won, it would have led to some tensions afterwards. Now, even though she missed out on the flowers, she was spared from an annoying worry.
She thus had the spare time to look at those white peonies and, upon seeing their excellent quality, she laughed, "Then I'll take two pots as well. Second Madam Ji, would you like to buy some?"
