Sheng Zi'an knows a lot about medicinal materials, but he doesn't know much about spices, there were still many people in the house that day, and the smell of various incense was entangled, Sheng Zi'an only felt chaotic.

  The Queen Mother's illness was sudden, Sheng Zi'an was driven to the shelves, and she didn't have time to think, but when she got home, Sheng Zi'an only felt that she smelled some strange smells today.

  The taste was not the same as ordinary spices, with a slightly bitter taste, and the taste of medicinal herbs was also different, Sheng Zi'an carefully distinguished, thinking that someone should have mixed spices and medicinal herbs together.

  Using the smell of spices to cover up the taste of medicinal herbs, people who can do this must have some unsightly intentions, thinking of the illness of the Queen Mother, Sheng Zi has a direction in it.

  And Guide's initiative to demote to the county lord this time made Sheng Zi'an more sure of his guess.

  "The method of mixing medicinal herbs with spices must have been thought of by the master's family, and the clothes of the ladies of each family also have incense on them, but the smell will not be too strong and long-lasting, and these girls can't get too close to the Queen Mother."

  "Only when the herbs are burned, the taste will last so long, and the smell of that day is still there until the courtiers leave." Sheng Zi'an was very sure.

  "Do you know, madam, what kind of herbs are mixed together?" Xiao Jue asked.

  Sheng Zi'an shook her head, no matter how good her medical skills were, when the various flavors were entangled, she couldn't tell them for sure.

  "Although I can't completely distinguish it, the smell of the spices and medicinal materials that day is thick, and the smell of burning makes ordinary people feel a little depressed, not to mention the Empress Dowager, there are people with asthma in Ben (shēn)."

  "The courtiers have tried a few times in the past few days, and a few of the flavors can be clearly distinguished, and the others are not known, so the courtiers will write them down to the prince (diàn), and the rest of the things (qíng) will be handed over to the prince (diàn)...."

  Sheng Zi'an is indeed powerless, and now the matter (qíng) on his own (shēn) is not finished, where is the spirit to care about the matter of the county lord of Guide drugging the queen mother (qíng).

  Shizi (diàn) has been close to the Queen Mother since he was a child, and it is only fitting that this matter (qíng) is left to him.

  Xiao Jue took the name of the medicinal herb that Sheng Zi'an wrote to him, his face was solemn, Guide County was mainly a fool of everything, but he didn't know how to do it, and he actually hit the idea on the Empress Dowager's (shēn)...

  The Queen Mother really felt sorry for her for so many years!

  After the prince (diàn) left, Aunt Bai entered Sheng Zi'an's courtyard.

  After Mrs. Sheng was footed in her yard, Aunt Bai was not an ordinary scenery, and now she has the final say, but she can be regarded as raising her head.

  Sheng Zi'an was reluctant to deal with her, the last time she did the main repair thing (qíng) without authorization, after being rejected by Sheng Zi'an without leaving (qíng), Aunt Bai stopped for a while, and now she actually came to the door again.

  "Madam, do you want the slave to drive her away?" Aoyagi asked.

  Sheng Zi'an shook his head: "Let her come in and see what she wants to do." ”

  Aunt Bai came this time, she was really something, she was wearing a moon-white dress, and when she walked in, she also brought three or four maids after (shēn), which was very magnificent.

  "I don't know what happened when my aunt came over today?"

  Sheng Zi'an asked people to sit down, and Aunt Bai smiled gently:

  "I'm here today, I want to accompany Zi'an, last time it was my aunt who made her own opinion, my aunt really can't see Zi'an you suffer, so I mentioned it to the master, Zi'an won't blame me..."

  "Actually, it's long overdue...... But the old man (rì) has to sort out the booklets of those tenants, so he has time to spare today. ”

  She talked to herself and talked to Sheng Zi'an for a few words, but Sheng Zi'an responded quietly.

  After the greetings were over, Aunt Bai said today's important matter: "I checked the account books in the house a few days ago, and I remembered something. ”

  She smiled very gently at Sheng Zi'an: "Especially here in Zi'an, Zi'an is now the county lord, and he interacts with some young ladies from big families every day, how can there be no silver in this hand?" ”

  "What if you are looked down upon? It's not that the old man is unwilling to give money to the girls, but you are still young, and you have taken the money, and there is no use. ”

  "After hearing what I said, the master promised to raise Zi'an's monthly price from five taels of silver to twenty taels of silver."

  After she finished speaking, when she looked at Sheng Zi'an, she was a lot more confident.

  Sheng Zi'an also nodded as she thought, and her voice was a little sincere: "Zi'an, thank you aunt." ”

  "Hey, it's all a family, thank you, the old man also remembers Zi'an in his heart, but I'm embarrassed to say it directly, Zi'an is doing well, and my aunt is down-to-earth in her heart."

  Sheng Zi'an's smile was maintained until she sent Aunt Bai out.

  After she went out, Aoyagi's face was a little puzzled: "Madam, what is this Aunt Bai here for?" ”

  "What else can be done? Naturally, I came to show my merits, how can I not let people see the good things I do? ”

  "Just for twenty taels of silver?" Aoyagi is even more strange.

  "Well, just for twenty taels of silver."

  Twenty taels of silver is not a small amount, and the families of the common people in the capital may use about five taels of silver a month, but it is different in these powerful families.

  A piece of clothing for a female dependent in the family may cost a few hundred taels of silver, but Sheng Zi'an's monthly case has always been five taels of silver, which shows how harsh Sheng Shangshu is to the girls in the house.

  "Madam, if you want to use silver, there will be more silver under the prince (diàn)!" Aoyagi didn't know how much silver they had under the diàn, but she knew how valuable the hairpin she gave to his wife was under the diàn.

  That hairpin was worth more than fifty taels of silver.

  Sheng Zi'an was amused by her: "The silver under the prince (diàn) is under the prince (diàn), my silver is mine, Aunt Bai came to the door to bring me the silver, I naturally want to give a good face." ”

  "Is there anyone who hates how hot silver is?" Sheng Zi'an took the twenty taels of silver that had just arrived and weighed it.

  Aoyagi felt that what his wife said was so reasonable, and while thinking that the next time he reported to Shizi (diàn), he would tell Shizi (diàn) that his wife was happy when she looked at twenty taels of silver now.

  Sheng Zi'an, who got the silver, very generously bought all the newly made dim sum in the dim sum shop and gave it to Wen Dona.

  Wen Dona and Xirong's envoys live in the post station in the capital, and the lord of Guide has rarely played outside recently because of the demotion (qíng), so Wen Dona and Sheng Zi'an spend more time together.

  The little princess took the snacks and sat on Sheng Zi'an's soft couch, watching Sheng Zi'an hold a small piece of fabric in her hand, carefully sewing something.

  "Zi'an, what are you doing here?" She leaned over curiously and saw clearly that it was a pale cyan fabric, on which Sheng Zi'an was embroidering stitches and threads.

  "What a money bag you made...," Sheng Zi'an replied, without raising his head.

  "What are you doing here?" The little princess was puzzled.

  "Give it to the prince (diàn)." Sheng Zi'an said dryly, with a somewhat shy smile on his face.

  "Huh? Why? "The little princess is still too young to know much about things between men and women (qíng).

  Sheng Zi'an patiently preached to her: "Didn't you ask me last time, how did our girls from the Central Plains express their liking?" ”

  The county lord of Guide was not there, Sheng Zi'an spoke a little more casually, and when she mentioned these things (qíng), the little princess really became interested: "Zi'an, tell me about it quickly!" ”

  "You women in Xirong will sing (qíng) songs with your own (qíng) lang, but the women of the Central Plains will not, the women of the Central Plains think that being reserved is beautiful, but most of the women in the Central Plains will be popular. It is embroidery and sewing. ”

  Sheng Zi'an let the little princess look at the things in her hand, and then pointed to the hairpin on her head: "This was given to me by the prince (diàn)." ”

  "Men and women in the Central Plains will give each other gifts to express their joy (ài)..."Sheng Zi'an finished speaking, reached out and touched his nose, feeling that his cheeks were a little hot.

  It's not that Sheng Zi'an deliberately wants to talk about this, but he is afraid that the lord of Guide will make some stupid moves behind his back, and there is a little princess maneuvering in the middle, and there is room for relaxation.

  After all, according to the straightforward (xìng) son of the little princess, she will definitely not be willing to break up the marriage between two people who have (qíng).

  Sure enough, after listening to Sheng Zi'an's words, Wen Dona thought thoughtfully: "It turns out that you and the prince (diàn) like each other... I thought you Central Plains people didn't have (qíng) lang! ”

  Sheng Zi'an breathed a sigh of relief, put down the things in his hand, and said to the little princess with a smile: "I'll teach you a Central Plains dialect today, if two people like each other, then this is called, two (qíng) are happy." ”

  The little princess muttered a few words and nodded: "It's so good, you guys talk so well." ”

  She picked up Sheng Zi'an's half-finished money bag: "Zi'an, what is this you embroidered?" ”

  "It's bamboo, a gentleman is like bamboo, and it has its own bones." Sheng Zi'an replied to her.

  The little princess's face showed a little confusion: "I've seen bamboo... But how is it different from your embroidery? ”

  Sheng Zi'an's smile stiffened on his face, he was embroidered casually to fool you, why do you have to be more serious?

  Sheng Zi'an, who is not a female celebrity, sighed: Don't let the prince (diàn) know....

  However, it backfired, and Shizi (diàn) not only knew, but also came to keep an eye on the progress from time to time, and finally Sheng Zi'an handed him the money bag that he insisted on finishing.

  I saw a meaningful, fox-like smile on the handsome face of the prince (diàn), and there was a kind of light in the eyes, which was good-looking and tight....
