"It's the candy sent by Xiaoyue, why is it black, it's really strange to look at, but it smells quite good-" Princess Haoyu took the small dish and smelled it, then pinched a chocolate bean and tasted it, narrowing her eyes with satisfaction, "It tastes good, Tianhe, do you want to taste it?" ”

Wen Tianhe looked at the plate of black chocolate beans, and the jealousy in his heart grew wildly, how many rare things he brought to Princess Haoyu, but Princess Haoyu just glanced at it and hastily asked people to put it away. And Du Qiyue just gave a plate of fruit candy, and he was praised by Princess Xunyu, it was really unfair, is blood so important, even if he is the one who has been taken care of for sixteen years.

"It's the first time I've seen candy like this, and I'd love to try it."

Suppressing the unwilling feelings in his heart, Wen Tianhe reached out and grabbed a candy and stuffed it into his mouth without looking at it. Unfortunately, the chocolate that Wen Tianhe caught was the kind of dark chocolate jelly bean that Du Qiyue made the least, and Du Qiyue basically didn't add sugar to it, and the so-called taste was very bitter. The chocolate jelly beans quickly melted in Wen Tianhe's mouth, and a bitter taste immediately overflowed, just like Wen Tianhe's mood at the moment, the bitterness was uncomfortable, and this bitter taste was also brought to him by Du Qiyue.

Seeing that Tianhe didn't say anything, Princess Haoyu looked at him and asked, "How does it taste?" ”

Wen Tianhe carefully tasted the bitter taste in his mouth, evoked a smile and said, "It's really a very special taste, it's impressive." ”

"yes, it's really delicious." Hearing Wen Tianhe's praise, Princess Yunyu nodded happily, quickly finished eating the chocolate beans in her mouth, and immediately picked up one and stuffed it into her mouth, and then put the box away.

Wen Tianhe looked at the proud expression on Princess Yu's face, and lowered his head quietly, in order to hide the sarcasm and unwillingness in his eyes that could no longer be concealed.

The engagement date of the third prince Ju Wenwei and Zhangfu was quickly determined, Ju Wenwei sent over with dozens of dowry gifts, Ju Yanyang and Empress Dowager Zhang Hui also rewarded dozens of dowries to Zhangfu respectively, and people in the world carried a hundred and ten dowry gifts to follow you Ju Wenwei to Zhangfu, and there was a huge array of abnormal sensations.

Du Qiyue happened to be drinking tea with Zhao Yiyun in a restaurant that day, and happened to be sitting at the window, Du Qiyue looked at the team that could be called ten miles of red makeup, and sighed with a sigh, "It's really spectacular, just there are so many dowry gifts for marriage, isn't it more when you really get married." The line has been walking for so long, there are really a hundred lifts, it turns out that the prince is so rich! ”

Brother Yu was able to marry, and a small stone in Zhao Yiyun's heart was finally removed, so he said to Du Qiyue in a good mood: "I don't know about the other princes, but the third prince will definitely not have many assets, as an adult prince, his annual monthly money is fixed, only 30,000 taels of silver, his foreign family is not very strong, and it is impossible to provide him with much money, so at least half of the dowry here should be rewarded by the emperor and the queen mother." ”

Thirty thousand taels a year is not enough to be rich, Du Qiyue smacked his tongue when he heard it. "But is it all such a big pomp when the royal family is married?" If it's really all this kind of pomp, he can't bear it, he gave Zhao Yiyun about 10,000 taels of silver several times in a row, and he felt that it was too much, but 10,000 taels of silver couldn't make up a few dowries even if he bought furniture, and if he bought jewelry and other things, he couldn't even fit a small box.

Zhao Yiyun looked at the gift-giving team downstairs that had not yet finished and said: "This pomp is not the best, when the eldest princess was married, there were two hundred dowry gifts." This time, it should not be much of the emperor's reward, and the Empress Dowager Zhang Hui is not good at surpassing the emperor's reward too much, so there are only these. ”

"Two hundred dowry ......" Du Qiyue twitched the corners of her mouth, and suddenly felt that the burden on her shoulders was as heavy as Mount Tai.

"Then how much dowry will the princess's mansion give?"

Zhao Yiyun didn't expect Du Qiyue to ask so directly, and he paused with the teacup before saying, "Dozens of lifts, but there is no rule on this, just do what you can." ”

"If you do what you can, you'll lose your face." Du Qiyue lowered his head and said with a depressed face.

Du Qiyue's frustrated expression made Zhao Yiyun feel a little soft-hearted, and immediately comforted and said, "I don't care about those false courtesies, so you don't have to care too much." ”

"That's how is it a false courtesy, marriage is the most important thing in a lifetime, and it is only once in a lifetime, so you must be cautious. I'm a gentleman, if I can't even have a decent wedding, then what kind of man is it! Du Qiyue said with puffed cheeks.

"Don't worry, your wedding will definitely not be undignified, and the emperor and princess will definitely reward you with a lot of things." Zhao Yiyun said, even if it is just for the sake of his face, the emperor should reward a lot of things, not to mention Du Qiyue's share, Princess Yunyu is estimated to give all the good things she left in the princess's mansion to Du Qiyue's son.

"Their reward is their business, and the wedding still depends on their own." Du Qiyue said, he is not the real Du Qiyue, he usually relies on Princess Yunyu and them, can he even rely on others to get married, that will make him feel very twisted. "Sure enough, I should make more money!"

"You." Zhao Yiyun looked at Du Qiyue and shook his head, sometimes he really didn't understand what Du Qiyue was thinking, but as long as Du Qiyue felt happy, it was fine.

"By the way, do you like the chocolate chips you made before?" Du Qiyue changed the topic and asked.

"Well, it tastes very good, I've eaten food made of cocoa powder before, but I always feel that the taste is a little strange, I didn't expect to be able to make such delicious candy, although it has a bit of bitterness, but after the bitterness subsides, the sweetness of the candy is more likeable." Zhao Yiyun said that the candy made of cocoa powder tastes the same as tea, and the feeling of bitterness first and then sweetness is very worth savoring.

"Cocoa powder can also make a lot of delicious things, do you think if I make it, they will collect it if I sell it to those people in Yaki Country?" Du Qiyue asked, he had this idea since he saw those cocoa powders, but he was really not good enough at doing business, so he didn't dare to decide on his own.

"These cocoa powders are a specialty of the Yaqi country, and what they are best at making is food made from cocoa powder, I believe that the dim sum you make is delicious, but if you sell it to them, will you really accept it?" Zhao Yiyun was a little worried, after all, for Yeqi Kingdom, the food made of cocoa powder is ordinary, and the food made of cocoa powder is not too interested.

"I went to the shop before and asked carefully, they don't make cocoa powder into sweets, but like to mix chili powder, medicinal powder and other things to make all kinds of weird food, not just for the sake of enjoyment, but because cocoa powder can make people feel excited and happy, and has a healing effect on many diseases. I don't sell finished products, I only sell recipes that make food made from cocoa powder delicious. Du Qiyue said, although he has not yet decided whether to do it or not, but he has been fully prepared before.

"Have you asked carefully?" Zhao Yiyun's eyes narrowed, looked at Du Qiyue and asked, "So you have been busy with this matter for the past few days?" ”

"Well, I've been to that shop a few times, and I've found a lot of good things. There was glass there, and it was muddy, but it was really glass! Du Qiyue nodded vigorously, he really couldn't stand the paper-paste windows, the light transmittance was too poor, even in broad daylight, as long as the windows were not opened, the room would be dim, and it would be great if there was glass. Although the glass brought by those merchants is very expensive, Du Qiyue happens to be able to make zuò glass, as long as there are raw materials, he can make very good glass, because their family used to open a glass kiln, but because they use traditional methods, the cost is completely incomparable with that of modern factories, so Du Qiyue closed it when he was a teenager, but he has long been proficient in those techniques. He had looked for materials to make zuò glass before, but he never found them, and he didn't expect that there was such a material in Yaqi Country.

"Glass?" Zhao Yiyun looked at Du Qiyue, his face did not show any emotion, but his tone became more and more strict.

Du Qiyue didn't feel the change in Zhao Yiyun's tone at all, and said happily: "Well, it's Xuanlin, I want to buy some materials for making zuò Lin with the merchants of Yeqi Country, and when the time comes, I will be able to sell it for a lot of money if I make glass with good light transmittance, and now the glass has so poor light transmittance and it is so expensive, if I make transparent glass, there will definitely be many people who buy it." Du Qiyue said.

"So, you're still thinking about making glass?" Zhao Yiyun's tone became gloomy, and his eyes were a little unkind when he looked at Du Qiyue

"yes... Xiaoyun, what's wrong with you? Du Qiyue finally sensed that something was wrong, and Zhao Yiyun didn't seem to be very happy.

"Du Qiyue! There is still more than a month to go before the temple exam, and you don't study hard and think about something all day long. Is it really that important to make money? Zhao Yiyun slapped the table and glared at Du Qiyue and asked.

Du Qiyue was startled, leaned back, looked at Zhao Yiyun's dark face, and said with a little weakness: "I read every day, and these are just thoughts in my spare time." ”

"From tomorrow onwards, you are not allowed to go out casually, I will let Qiu'er supervise you, and you will stay in the study for me to read well!" Zhao Yiyun decided bluntly. In fact, Du Qiyue will definitely be admitted to the palace exam this time, because the emperor will issue an order to recognize Du Qiyue as the adopted son of Princess Haoyu after Du Qiyue's results are announced, but it is precisely in this way that Du Qiyue needs to get some results, Zhao Yiyun does not want others to think that Du Qiyue is the champion who was admitted by relying on Princess Xunyu
