"What did you say?" Bai Yusheng asked strangely.

Wan Feizhi repeated: "I'm asking you, do you want to know the recipe of Zhegui Zhen Mask and Autumn Water Cream?" ”

"Lady, what do you mean by that?" Bai Yusheng still felt that Wan Feizhi's words were strange.

Wan Feizhi tilted his face, looked at him with a sly look in his eyes, and asked again, "You only said that you want to know if you want to know, right?" ”

Bai Yusheng stared at her eyes and said cautiously, "Lady, what do you mean?" ”

Wan Feizhi hooked the corners of his mouth and asked with a smile: "If Xianggong wants to know, then I can tell you the recipe of these two things directly?" ”

Bai Yusheng didn't think about it, and said resolutely: "No, I don't want people to tell me the ready-made recipe. ”

Listening to Bai Yusheng's words, Wan Feizhi didn't speak, but nodded vigorously, "Xianggong is really frank, since you said so, then I don't have to think about that matter anymore." ”

Bai Yusheng frowned, and leaned forward to Wan Feizhi again, "Lady, what are you thinking?" ”

Wan Feizhi confessed: "Actually, on the day I got married, the third sister-in-law gave me the formula of Zhegui Zhen Mask and Autumn Water Cream, and she asked me to give you the formula." ”

"What?" Bai Yusheng was stunned.

"But I'm a little selfish, I always feel that it's my third sister-in-law's hard work, and it's too cheap to give it to you like this. That's why I haven't given you this recipe all along......"

Wan Feizhi was always observing Bai Yusheng's expression as he spoke, wanting to see how he would react when he knew his thoughts.

Bai Yusheng was indeed stunned when he first heard Wan Feizhi say the formula, but when he understood Wan Feizhi's thoughts, he didn't want to blame Wan Feizhi.

Bai Yusheng still smiled gently, "Lady, you did the right thing." If I were you, I wouldn't hand over the recipe so easily. ”

Wan Feizhi saw Bai Yusheng's expression as usual, and his heart was much more relaxed, but he still had to convey Fu Xiaojiu's meaning clearly.

"Xianggong, the third sister-in-law said that as long as it is fair competition, she is not afraid to give you the formula."

"No, the moment the third sister-in-law gave me the formula, the competition between me and her was not fair. Although I have always been curious about the formulas of these two things and tried to develop them, the formula was painstakingly developed by my third sister-in-law, and it was unfair to me to get it easily. Lady, don't worry, I won't worry about the third sister-in-law's formula, you can burn the formula when you get home. ”

Bai Yusheng's voice was gentle, but his handsome face was full of stubbornness.

"You made me burn the recipe?" Wan Feizhi didn't expect Bai Yusheng to say such a thing, and asked incredulously: "Xianggong, do you have to develop the formula of Zhegui Zhen Film and Autumn Water Cream by yourself?" ”

Bai Yusheng took Wan Feizhi's hand, first smiled softly at her, and then continued: "I really don't want to get something for nothing. I was so obsessed with developing something as easy to use as the Guizhen film and autumn water cream, but I was holding back an unwilling energy. But now that we are a family, I don't have the idea of competing with my third sister-in-law anymore. There are so many good medicines in Hangjitang, why don't I focus on them to benefit more patients? ”

Wan Feizhi listened to his words, tilted his head but did not say a word.

Bai Yusheng suddenly reacted to something, and quickly explained: "I mean, the third sister-in-law is an expert in the things you women use, so I won't go to join in the fun." I don't mean to despise the third sister-in-law! ”

"Poof!" Wan Feizhi couldn't help laughing, "Xianggong, you are so cute." ”

Bai Yusheng pointed at himself, the corners of his mouth twitched, "I...... Lovely? ”

"Yes, you're cute!" Wan Feizhi hugged his shoulders and said with great certainty.

Wan Feizhi didn't burn the recipe when she got home, but she didn't plan to bring it up again.

Bai Yusheng's words actually moved her very much, because Bai Yusheng sincerely regarded the Wan family as her own family.

Fu Xiaojiu and Wan Lin arrived home one after another, Wan Lin read the letter from the Xu couple, looked at the silver tickets again, and said sincerely: "Lady, we must not live up to Xu Yuanwai and Mrs. Xu's trust in us, we must find them a good house with good quality and low price." As for what you said about cooperating with them, I'm in favor of it, just let it go. ”

"My mother has already seen a few houses today, and I will go to see them tomorrow. I can't guarantee that I can choose a house for the Xu family, because there is no house with three courtyards that is less than 1,000 taels. ”

"Tsk......" Wan Lin couldn't help but be stunned when he heard it.

Wan Pozi said at this time: "Third child, you don't have to feel sorry for the Xu family, their silver tickets add up to more than three thousand taels, and everything you want is enough." Tomorrow, I will take a good look at the house with Xiao Jiu, and I will definitely be able to choose a house that is good in all aspects for the Xu family, and it will definitely be worthy of so much money. ”

Wan Lin still sighed a little, "I just didn't expect them to trust us so much and give us such an important thing to do." Even if they are brothers and sisters, I'm afraid it's difficult to trust each other like this, right? ”

As soon as she said this, Wan Pozi's heart swelled with anger, "The third child is right! I see that my own brothers sometimes can't catch up with their friends! Your two unsuccessful brothers haven't heard from them until now, you write now, I say you write, I have to scold them severely! ”

Wan Lin hurriedly persuaded and said, "Mother, don't be angry. Even if they reply to the letter or enter Beijing, they can't be so fast, my eldest brother and second brother are not unfilial people, you and your father should wait. ”

Wan Pozi rolled her eyelids, "Alas, don't say it, don't say it!" Let's eat! ”

Fu Xiaojiu and Wan Lin had dinner, Wan Lin first took the test for the knowledge of the counselor, and then played with Fu Xiaojiu with him, and then discussed with Fu Xiaojiu about the Xu family's coming to Beijing.

Fu Xiaojiu came to the table and said while grinding, "I'll go to see the shop and the land tomorrow, although I want to partner with the Xu family to open a workshop, but their family still has been in business for many years, maybe they want to open some other shops when they go to the capital." Paddy fields and dry fields are also indispensable, and even if I don't help them buy these things first, I have to go and see them, so that I can know what to expect, and when they arrive, I don't have to worry too much about these things. I'll write back to them right now and tell me what I'm going to do. ”

Wan Lin thought for a while and said, "The lady has already thought about it very thoroughly, and I don't have anything to say." Come to think of it, we are lucky to have friends like Mr. and Mrs. Xu. ”

Fu Xiaojiu was just about to put down his pen, then looked up at Wan Lin again, and asked: "By the way, Wan Zhang and Nianzhen have rarely written since they left, they have been gone for several months, and only two letters have come in total." Xianggong, have you heard that Wan Zhang's official is doing well? Did the court ever talk about him? ”

Speaking of friends, Wan Lin's gaze became a little farther, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"I forgot to tell you if you didn't say it. A few days ago, the sage received an excerpt from Brother Zhang, who said that the local people lived in hardship and were a little chilled by the imperial court, and that some of the decrees he implemented after his arrival were not easy to implement because the people did not believe in him. Recently, however, the situation has improved, and the people have seen his sincerity, and some of the decrees he has implemented for the sake of the people have been implemented smoothly. ”

Fu Xiaojiu said wistfully: "I guess he will encounter such difficulties when he first arrives, but I also believe in his ability, he will definitely become a parent official who is supported by the people." I hope that their husband and wife can write more letters to us if they are fine, and I don't know if Nianzhen and Enpei have adapted to the environment there now? ”

Wan Lin came to Fu Xiaojiu's side and put on a thin blanket for her, "We don't have to worry too much about them, I can see that Nianzhen is an idea and tenacious character, and their lives will definitely be enjoyable." By the way, King Zhenbei has good news today, and he will be able to return to Beijing before the end of this month. ”

Fu Xiaojiu stood up excitedly, "Great! I've been worried about their family, always hoping that they will come back soon, and I am finally looking forward to their return! ”

Wan Lin also said with a relaxed look: "Everyone is very happy to learn that the King of Zhenbei is about to triumph. I heard that the saint was smiling all day today, and he didn't even frown when a little eunuch accidentally knocked over the tea bowl. ”

Speaking of this, Wan Lin's expression suddenly became a little serious, "By the way, someone has recently said that after the king of Zhenbei returns, the saint will be a prince." The big picture is finally going to be decided. ”

Fu Xiaojiu immediately asked, "Will the prince be between King Jie and King Zhao?"

Wan Lin slowly shook his head, "The emperor's heart is unpredictable, I can't guess for sure." But in my opinion, I don't think the prince should be among them. ”

Fu Xiaojiu asked with questioning: "Who else would it be?" Could it be that the saint wants to make the queen's adopted son the prince? How old is that kid? ”

Wan Lin smiled indifferently, "Let's not guess, we'll know when the time comes." ”

Fu Xiaojiu nodded, "Yes, everything is possible in this world, let's just sit back and wait for the result!" ”

Fu Xiaojiu and Wan Pozi went to Yahang early in the morning the next day, looked at all the houses and shops that Wan Pozi thought were reliable, and went to the suburbs to see some fields, and when they returned to Yaxing, it was noon.

The shopkeeper of the Yaxing personally took them to run all morning, and when they arrived at the Yaxing, he politely asked: "Mrs. Wan, Fulangzhong, how did you look this morning?" Is it possible to settle on a house? ”

Fu Xiaojiu didn't answer immediately, but whispered to Wan Pozi for a moment before saying to the shopkeeper: "The house in the east of the West Market looks good, although it is a big house with three entrances and three exits, it is not empty, and the layout is also bright. It's just that the price is too expensive, shopkeeper, you know how many farms we want to buy this time, and we have cooperated several times, so you can give the most realistic price. ”

The shopkeeper naturally knew that he had ushered in the God of Wealth, and he didn't dare to slack off, and his smiling face was about to turn into a flower.

"Hehehe, this is natural, Xiao Lao'er will definitely not report falsehood to the two. But the two of you have also seen the house, the location, the layout, and those homes are all of the best quality! The minimum is 1,300 taels of silver, and if it is lower, the seller will not agree. ”

Fu Xiaojiu frowned, "This price is not good, I think it's expensive." I won't bargain with you more, but I'll buy it for 1,200 taels of silver. ”

The shopkeeper smiled bitterly and said embarrassedly: "This ...... I'm afraid this really won't work! ”
