Chang Yan understands what her mother said, otherwise she wouldn't have tolerated Chang Ning for so many years. But as long as she thought that Wang Xi had the opportunity to marry into the Xiangyang Marquis Mansion, her chest seemed to be blocked by something, and she couldn't breathe.

The second wife knew that her daughter hadn't figured it out yet, knew that she needed time to digest what she said, and she knew that her adopted daughter was not the one who had no idea, nor was it the one who couldn't listen to persuasion, so it was best to wait until she figured it out.

She simply changed the topic and talked about the marriage of her eldest son Chang Sanye: "The Han family will come to measure the size of the house in a few days and arrange the furniture for the wedding, I will definitely have to accompany it then, you have been staring at Dian A Ning hard these days, don't let her make any jokes when the Han family comes to the door." Wang Xi's side, you still have to move around when you should be moving, and you can use it when you are free, and you have the intention to settle down the unintentional. In case Wang Xi really married the Marquis of Xiangyang, it would be a little late to move around again. ”

Chang Yan bit her lip and said unwillingly: "Mother, are you so sure that Wang Xi can marry the fourth son of Xie?" ”

"Even if you marry in the future," the second lady said indifferently, "Is it a bad thing to have a sister like Wang Xi who has a rich family?" ”

Chang Yan didn't squeak.

The second wife sighed and hugged her daughter, and said in a low voice: "The world is impermanent. Maybe you don't have a relationship with him. Don't ruin the relationship between sisters for the sake of a man. You have always been smart, and my mother will not harm you. ”

Chang Yan nodded, went back to the house and tossed and turned for a long time without falling asleep, and early the next morning, she discussed with her personal maid Guixiang what to send to Wang Xi, and it was considered that it was good to start walking around from this time.

Guixiang is a transparent maid, and she knows Chang Yan's mind when she hears the words. She didn't ask more, but wholeheartedly gave Chang Yan an idea: "It's better to send some seasonal fruits, naturally, without traces." You can also send some to Miss Pan and Miss Four. ”

As for the second young lady Chang Ning, it must be sent.

But the most expensive fruit at this time is cherries, Chang Yan hesitated for a moment, and finally made a painful decision: "Then buy some cherries and come back, give some to each room, Mrs. Tai, aunt, don't leave behind." Miss Wang and Miss Pan, I personally sent them. ”

Guixiang smiled and personally arranged for someone to buy cherries.

Wang Xi went to the pharmacy again.

This time, Dr. Feng did not go out, but sniffed and fiddled with the potpourri piled on the bookcase in the western room of the study next to his bedroom, and when he saw her come in, he waved to her with a smile, motioned for her to sit on the Taishi chair beside him, and asked her if she had breakfast, and took a box of potpourri to Wang Xi, and said, "You smell it, what is the difference between these incense?" ”

Wang Xi only smelled a few boxes, and was so stung by the fragrance that he had no sense of smell.

Doctor Feng laughed, and Feng Gao brought a charcoal bag over.

Wang Xi and Dr. Feng went out of the study and sat down on the mahogany circle chair under the eaves, and Feng Gao brought tea again.

"What are you doing here?" Wang Xi took a sip of water and asked curiously, "Is there anything wrong with these incense?" ”

"Nothing." Doctor Feng still didn't want to tell her much, and said, "I also made a box of lily incense in my memory and mixed it in, and I want you to help see what the difference is." Your senior brother didn't smell it for a long time, but I didn't expect you to smell it either. ”

"That's because I'm smarter than my brother's nose!" Wang Xi said unashamedly, "Look at Senior Brother, I didn't smell it after smelling so much, I just smelled a few boxes and I couldn't stand it." ”

Dr. Feng smiled and lovingly handed her a big red plum.

Wang Xi took it and took a bite, it was sweet and sour, especially crispy. She couldn't help nodding and said, "This plum is delicious." Unlike our plums in Pengcheng, the plums in Yongtai in Fuzhou are not so crisp, and Shimen, Hubei Province is prolific with green plums, and now it has also begun to produce red plums? ”

"It's not." When the two people who like to eat meet together, what they like to talk about the most is to eat, and Dr. Feng said quite proudly, "It's the plums of Dali in Shaanxi." After I came to the capital, I happened to hear someone talk about it, and I was specially paid attention to and brought me a basket to the capital. Originally, I was going to send some to your grandfather to taste, but the distance was far away, and I was afraid that it would not be fresh when it was delivered. After marinating, it lost its crispness, so I simply didn't send it. ”

Wang Xi nodded again and again, ate half a red plum in one go, and felt a little astringent in his mouth, so he stopped and said, "It's okay to eat at first, but it's like that if you eat too much." After pickling, it loses its character, and it can only be tasted. ”

The two talked for a long time about whether the red plums were delicious or the green plums were delicious, and then the topic turned back to the fragrance.

Wang Xi said: "Do you want us to help smell the incense of Chaoyun is exactly the same as yours?" I think it's a bit hard. It's better to find a way to give your incense another name, and then find a way to sell it at the gate of Dajue Temple. If the fragrance is the same, everyone will definitely think that we copied Chaoyun's incense recipe. You might even be able to see the morning clouds. ”

What do you think of this way......

Doctor Feng couldn't help but laugh and said, "Your little head is exactly the same as your grandfather." Everyone else will want to call us by the same name, and if someone smells different, they will definitely come to us. You're thinking of another name. I don't know how you came up with it? ”

Wang Xi has always felt that if everyone thinks the same, they can't be different, and if they don't have distinctive characteristics, how can they be a top business, and if it's not a top business, what's the point?

She grinned and said, "There are a few people who can actually smell what it's like." If the taste is the same, the name is the same, and others still think that we got the goods from, they will not think that we made them, and they don't know when they will be discovered. But if the incense is the same, the name is different, but it is much cheaper than them, this is a big problem, even if it can't attract Chaoyun, it will attract people from Dajue Temple. ”

Feng Gao smiled: "I think this method is good for junior sister." Just think about what if you attract the people of Dajue Temple? ”

After all, it is a royal temple, and the host knows a lot of powerful people, so I am afraid that it will not be easy to pass.

Wang Xi glanced at Feng Gao and said, "Grandpa Feng's incense blending inheritance is orderly, even if the people from Dajue Temple find out, what can it do?" It's a big deal that we won't be perfumerizing in the future. We don't make a living from perfumery, so what does it matter if we don't? Unless Grandpa Feng wants to snatch the title of the number one in Chaoyun Jingcheng. ”

Having said this, she also smiled slyly at Feng Gao.

She wanted to provoke his master, right?

Feng Gao didn't say a word on the side, just listened.

Doctor Feng was not fooled, but was in a trance for a while, and said with a smile: "I also think it's strange, where do you want to compete with someone outside the square for the false name of the first person in incense?" I think this matter is settled, and I will talk about it after the Dragon Boat Festival. In the past few days, there are a lot of people who come to the shop to ask for Huo Xiang Zhengqi Water and Ren Dan, and everyone uses dim sum to make more pills to cool off, and strive to have another three-dog sticker to earn back the expenses in the shop this year. ”

Although Wang Xi didn't take care of things, she knew how much silver the rent of their family's best shop in Wenzhou was a year, and she could roughly calculate the cost of the pharmacy. She was taken aback and said, "Is the pharmacy's business so good?" ”

Dr. Feng modestly said "It's okay" and revealed the matter.

On the way to Dongfeng Mansion for dinner with Wang Xi, Doctor Feng and Feng Gao, she found an opportunity to ask Feng Gao: "Then do you want to find out why Grandpa Feng is looking for Chaoyun?" ”

"Keep looking." Feng Gao frowned and said worriedly, "I always feel unsteady in my heart, as if there is something important that I just can't remember." ”

Feng Gao followed Dr. Feng when he was a baby, maybe he heard something when he was a child.

Wang Xi didn't urge Feng Gao, and the three of them happily went to eat fried bells and Yipin duck together.

She thought that duck skin dipped in white sugar was the most delicious, and she made a special trip to bring one back to Chang Ke.

Chang Ke was naturally overjoyed, left Wang Xi for supper, and said: "The first-grade duck in Dongfeng Building is not delicious overnight, and if you want to eat it, you have to eat it on the same day." ”

Wang Xi had already eaten to his heart's content, but Chang Ke was afraid that he would not be restrained because it was night, so he didn't dare to eat too much. When Wang Xi returned to Qingxue Garden, he also brought half a duck back and gave it to the people around him as a supper.

Bai Zhu, who was on duty at home, told her that Chang Yan had come, and gave a small basket of cherries, and said: "I asked her what she wanted, but she didn't say anything, so I had to accept it first, what do you think we can do as a gift in return?" ”

lowering the standard of tipping is to teach Chang Ning a lesson. But during this time, Chang Ning still went his own way, and there was no change in the slightest, Wang Xi felt that Chang Ning could no longer be treated with common sense. But Chang Yan changed her past and tried to associate with her, and she would not refuse - if she had a good time with Chang Yan, with Chang Ning's character, she would definitely not be able to stand it.

Thinking that Chang Ning would not be able to stand it, Wang Xi found it interesting.

"Then send some loquats." She said: "These two days are just boiling water to drink. ”

Baizhu smiled and promised, and went down to prepare.

The next day, Wang Xi went to greet Mrs. Tai, and Mrs. Tai brought loquat rock sugar water to entertain them.

There was a serving maid who smiled and flattered Mrs. Tai: "The third lady and Miss Biao are so filial to you." The third lady sent cherries over early yesterday morning, and in the evening, Miss Biao sent loquats. ”

Mrs. Tai raised her eyebrows and said, "They are all very good!" ”

Chang Ke has always known how to observe words and emotions than Chang Ning, and immediately smiled beside him: "I don't have as much money as my third sister and cousin, so I can only make some gadgets and give them to my grandmother and sisters." ”

Wang Xi didn't want Chang Ke to become a target, so he definitely wanted to help her get out, and said with a smile after hearing this: "I also knew that my third cousin gave me cherries, so I realized that I was not filial, so I asked people to go to the street to buy some loquats, and the real filial piety is the third cousin, and I can borrow flowers to offer Buddha at most." ”

With Chang Ke and Wang Xi, two clever people, attached, not only did everyone not fight as Chang Ning hoped, but you accommodated me, and I accommodated you, achieving each other's good reputations.

Mrs. Tai was very happy, and rewarded Chang Yan with a pearl to wipe her forehead, and rewarded Wang Xi with a Hunan concubine bamboo silk yarn double-sided Hangzhou embroidered kitten with butterflies, although it is not as valuable as Chang Yan's pearl wipe, but it is very practical and beautiful, Wang Xi likes it very much.

But Chang Ning, as if everyone owed her eight hundred taels of silver, had a straight face, very ugly.

I didn't leave with Chang Yan when I left.
