As the sun sets, the sunset on the horizon is gorgeous and colorful.

Upstairs in Zuixiang, Ye Guiyue was drinking with Yuan Hao and Chu Pei.

Talking about the invitation to the hibiscus banquet, Yuan Hao raised his glass and smiled at Ye Guiyue and said, "I heard that the king of Zhennan has set a deadline for you, and at the hibiscus banquet, if you don't fancy any girl, he will designate the princess of the county for you?" ”

Ye Guiyue poured himself wine and drank it all, Yuan Hao said enviously, "No matter who you have a crush on, as long as you say something, the king of Zhennan will find someone to hire, basically no one will refuse you, are you still unhappy?" ”

Chu Pei smiled, "There are too many choices, he is picky." ”

Yuan Hao thought so, he was pouring bitter water, he was also forced to pick a wife, I don't know what to do, there was a knock on the door outside, and Leng Xun, dressed in black, stepped in, walked to Ye Guiyue's side, and handed over a note, "Master, this is Miss Qin specially sent someone to the small courtyard for her subordinates to hand it over to you." ”

"Specially?" Ye Guiyue put down the wine glass and took the envelope, "I asked you to look at those two children, but she made you arouse?" ”

Leng Xun was also speechless, Miss Qin was the most invisible girl she had ever seen, obviously they were in charge of surveillance, but she could call them confidently, but they didn't dare not do it, who knew what she was doing?

Ye Guiyue glanced at the letter twice, his brows furrowed, Chu Pei saw that his face was very strange, so he took it and looked at it, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "Is she really the daughter of the boudoir?" I've even heard of such a thing as fine iron. ”

Yuan Hao also leaned over to take a look, and said, "The imperial court produces only 100,000 catties of fine iron every year, all of which are used to make weapons. ”

Chu Pei nodded, he still wanted a sword made of fine iron, sharpening iron like clay. "But she doesn't want much, just ten needles."

Yuan Hao pulled the corners of his mouth, "It's because it's a needle, so it's extraordinarily serious." If this is to let the group of stubborn people in the court know that her needles are made of fine iron, I don't think the Marquis of Dingyuan will have to go back to Beijing, and those stubborns will definitely go out of Beijing to scold him for teaching his daughter. ”

Chu Pei looked at Ye Guiyue, "Something is wrong, when did the prince of the county become so familiar with her, and even asked you for help with such a thing as Jingtie?" ”

Ye Guiyue picked up the jade fan on the table, turned around and went out.

After eating dinner in the evening, he walked around the yard, and Poria came back panting. Tell Zhiwan that the letter has been delivered, Zhiwan asked her to go to dinner, and he went back to the inner room, back and forth, what if he didn't help?

It was windy in the evening. There was a creak from the blowing window, and it barely sounded, and Zhiwan would glance at it, and every time it was disappointed.

I was tired of walking back and forth, so I turned around to sit down, but I saw Leng Feng standing there, and the prince of a certain county was sitting there. After drinking tea for a long time, she was startled, "When did you come?" ”

Ye Guiyue enjoyed the feeling of being looked forward to later, but he knew that this woman was like this because she had something to ask for, and when she was fine, she would directly bombard. "Are you short of silver needles or embroidery needles?"

"I don't lack both," Zhiwan walked over, sat opposite Ye Guiyue and said, "I want a special needle for fine iron, and I also ask the prince of the county to help." ”

said. Handing him the drawings, Ye Guiyue glanced at it, frowning slightly, "What do you want this needle for?" ”

If you have a request for help, you won't hide it from him when you know the night, "I even charge other people's consultation fees for treatment, and I can't do it if I don't treat it, can you help me with this little favor?" ”

Leng Feng coughed, and then said, "Miss Qin, you are not a small favor, the emperor dreams of taking back the death-free gold medal in his hand, waiting to catch the master's mistake, if the master finds you a fine iron needle, you will definitely be deducted a death-free gold medal." ”

Zhiwan raised her forehead, did she find the wrong person, "I only need such a little bit of fine iron?" As long as the little thumb is big! ”

Leng Feng shook his head, even if it is the size of a soybean, it is also a crime, as long as the master violates the law, it is a gold medal for avoiding death, the most important thing, fine iron is too rare.

Zhiwan knew that fine iron was rare, otherwise how could Lord Huan not have it, but when he heard Leng Feng say that it was only 20,000 catties, Zhiwan's stunned eyes, his mouth was open and he could almost stuff a duck egg, thinking that he had heard it wrong, "Are you sure you are right, only 100,000 catties?" ”

Leng Feng nodded cautiously, and brushed away the black line on his forehead at night, and there was a very weak feeling, isn't fine iron just high-quality iron? Iron is more brittle and harder, refined iron, that is, steel, is tougher, iron can be seen everywhere, is there less refined iron like this?

"Is fine iron valuable?"

“…… A sword made of fine iron, sharpened like clay, is at least a few dozen taels of silver, and it is forbidden to sell it. ”

On Zhiwan's head, several crows quacked, and Zhiwan swallowed his saliva, "If, I mean if, if I can make fine iron, can I sell it to the imperial court?" Selling fine iron to make money is much faster than I can do to treat people's diseases. ”

Cold wind, "....... ”

Ye Guiyue looked at Zhiwan's eyes, it was a pair of clear eyes like good glass, quiet and clear, people couldn't help but be intoxicated, they were staring at him tightly at the moment, eager to get his answer, Ye Guiyue was worried that he would not be able to do without these eyes, and reached out to push Zhiwan's head away, and the bewitching phoenix eyes were light, "Don't talk about dreams, how do you make fine iron?" ”

Zhiwan rubbed his head and said with bared teeth, "Don't look down on people, you just think I will, will the court accept it?" ”

Ye Guiyue's eyes froze, because Zhiwan's eyes were full of money, this woman loves money, it's not the first time he knows that he can't even live for money, "You really know how to make fine iron?" ”

Zhiwan patted his heart and said, "Theoretically, I know completely, even if I don't succeed the first time, I can try two more times, and I can guarantee this with my life." ”

Ye Guiyue looked at Zhiwan's smart eyes, raised his eyebrows slightly, and then said, "Do you know how important Jingtie is to the imperial court and the soldiers at the border gates, this joke is just a joke in front of me, in case it is known by the imperial court, if you really know, the imperial court will reuse you, but you will definitely not be able to stay in the Hou Mansion." ”

Zhiwan was stunned, almost forgot, the husband is not guilty, if she really will, the court is worried that she will leak secrets, and will detain or even cut her, Zhiwan pulled the corners of her mouth, but when she thought that it was only 100,000 catties of refined iron a year, this output was really pitiful. If she could increase her production tenfold, if she were a man, she would be able to be a marquis, right?

"I don't have to lie to you, or wait for my dad to come back. Let my father dedicate the secret recipe to the imperial court, it shouldn't be a problem to mix up with the prince, right? ”

Ye Guiyue, "......." ”

Leng Feng hurriedly asked, "Marquis Dingyuan knows the secret recipe, why didn't he give it earlier?" ”

“…… When I give my dad the secret recipe, he'll know. ”

The cold wind is messy, speaking of which, it is better for her to be alone, seeing that the two of them don't believe it at all, she rolled her eyes and said. "Don't look down on people, since Jingtie is so important to the imperial court, you should rather believe it than believe it, what if I really can?"

Ye Guiyue nodded, he really should choose to believe her in this matter. "How do you verify that what you say is true?"

Zhiwan smiled, "It's not difficult to verify, I'll write you the secret recipe, but I have one condition." ”

Ye Guiyue shook the corners of his eyes, this woman can really climb along the pole, "What conditions?" ”

Zhiwan sat down and said, "Don't worry." You will definitely not lose money in this transaction, 20,000 taels of silver, I will sell you the secret recipe, and the additional condition is that if my father needs your help in the future, you can't refuse. ”

Leng Feng stood behind Ye Guiyue. I felt that my legs were weak for a while, a secret recipe that I didn't know if it was true or false, she opened her mouth for 20,000 taels, and this mouth was too big, was she short of money? Heal people. The sky-high consultation fee of 10,000 taels per person, is she not short of money?

Ye Guiyue stretched out his hand and pinched Zhiwan's nose, smiling and doting, "I'm not a loss, the position of a prince of the country has only been exchanged for 20,000 taels of silver, aren't you afraid that Dingyuan Hou will be angry with you?" ”

Zhiwan pulled down his hand, rubbed his nose and said, "Who knows if the secret recipe is a blessing or a curse, I don't want to put my father on the throne for the position of a prince, besides, with your protection, I can rest assured that my father is fine, as for the position of the prince of the country or the king, I don't care, if you think the position of the prince is worth more, you can pay me more silver." ”

Ye Guiyue shook his head secretly, he really had the leisure to play with her, since he agreed, let her be happy, where did Zhiwan know that he was teasing her, she took it seriously!

walked to the desk, dipped the pen in ink, and wrote several pieces of paper in a row, Ye Guiyue walked to the desk and looked at it, and when he saw the things on the paper, his brows were even more furrowed, what was written, he couldn't understand it!

Ye Guiyue picked up one and asked Zhiwan, "What are you writing here?" ”

Zhiwan glanced at him, then looked at the paper, and patted his head at the moment, those chemical equations, it would be strange if he recognized them, his face was full of embarrassment, and he explained, "Iron smelting is to refine the refined iron in iron ore, my method is refining, the way it is written is a little strange, it is normal for you not to understand, I will explain it to you in detail in a while, and you will understand." ”

Ye Guiyue didn't speak, waiting for Zhiwan to explain, Zhiwan had to get up and give him the position, and then explained one by one, starting with iron ore, and even said the difference between refined iron and iron, Leng Feng stood aside, and when he heard the difference between iron and refined iron, it turned out to be the black charcoal, and couldn't help but pout, if you want to say gold, I still believe that it turned out to be charcoal?

However, Ye Guiyue believed it, Zhiwan wrote these things in one go, even if it was a lie, she didn't have time to think about it, and besides, she didn't have the courage to lie to him, if it wasn't true, he wouldn't pay her.

Zhiwan's mouth was dry, and Ye Guiyue finally understood that he could understand what foundation he could understand, and Zhiwan admired him from the bottom of his heart.

Ye Guiyue took the stack of papers, turned around to leave, and said busily, "Don't forget my needle, can you help me get it as soon as possible?" ”

Ye Guiyue pinched Zhiwan's cheek and smiled demonically, "Your method is not difficult, I will know if it is really feasible in two days, and I will use the refined iron refined by your secret recipe to help you make needles." ”

"There are still 20,000 taels of silver tickets, don't forget it!" Zhiwan admonished.

Ye Guiyue nodded, jumped forward, and went out of the window, and with the blink of his eyes, he saw them jumping out of the wall.

Jumping out of the wall, Leng Feng couldn't help but say, "Master, do you really believe that these pieces of paper can refine refined iron?" ”

"It's better to believe it than not, go to my father to get a token, and go to the ironworks at night."

“…… The prince will definitely not give it to you. ”

"In half an hour, I'm going to see the token."

After speaking, Ye Guiyue turned over and got on his horse, and the dust went away, leaving the cold wind to stand there, looking up to the sky and crying, stealing the prince's token, and if he was caught, he would die!

The cold wind grabbed the reins and got on the back of the horse. Run in the other direction.

After the two left, another black shadow came out of the wall, looked in the direction of Ye Guiyue, and then looked at the direction of the cold wind. Raising his eyebrows slightly, he ran in the direction of the palace.

In the imperial study, Zhang Jiu, the leader of the Iron Guard, told Emperor Wenyuan what he heard, and Emperor Wenyuan frowned, "You said that the four girls of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion sent a letter, so let the king of Yuejun lose his chopsticks and run to her?" ”

Zhang Jiu nodded, "My subordinates saw it with their own eyes." ”

"I've never seen him run so fast when my holy decree summons!" Emperor Wen Yuan was furious.

Gonggong Xu stepped forward with a teacup and said with a smile, "It seems that the ten girls in the Marquis of Dingyuan's Mansion are the ten that King Yuejun likes." It's just that King Yuejun withdrew her kiss in front of him, and he didn't have the face to mention it again. ”

Emperor Wenyuan held the tea cup and gently played with it, originally thinking that it was the person in the painting, but he didn't expect it to be not. If it is the fourth girl of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, he can't force it, lest it backfire, give him a good reason to rob his family, let it be, and when the time comes, if he really wants to marry her, Emperor Wenyuan snorted. The daughter of the Marquis of Dingyuan, he quit his relatives if he wanted to, and he married if he wanted to?

It's a coffin again, and it's a prison, if there is no holy decree to marry, will Dingyuan Marquis marry his daughter to him?

Emperor Wen Yuan suddenly felt that he was in a very good mood. I can't wait to call back Dingyuanhou, who went out on an errand, and specially advise him.

Zhang Jiu saw that the emperor was in a good mood, and said, "Your Majesty, the four girls of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion asked the prince of the county to help her make needles with fine iron. also said that she could make fine iron, and sold the secret recipe for making fine iron to the prince of the county, and at this time, the prince of the county should be in the ironmaking workshop. ”

"She knows how to make fine iron?" Emperor Wen Yuan shook his head and smiled secretly, she was obviously a beautiful girl, she had to pretend to be ugly and scare people, she made her infamous and almost couldn't get married, she must have teased Yue'er, this kid was so easy to be fooled in front of women.

Zhang Jiu stood there, and Emperor Wen Yuan waved his hand and said, "Look at him, don't burn down the ironworks." ”

A good night's sleep.

The next morning, after having breakfast, Zhiwan took Poria to the rosin courtyard, and when he entered the door, he was glared at, "Grinding, why are you here now!" ”

Zhiwan respectfully asked Qian to say goodbye, and gave Qin Zhiwan a half-salute, for Qin Zhiwan's questioning, Zhiwan didn't hear it, outside the door, a jingle bell came to the ear, Zhiwan turned around, and saw Qin Zhiwan walking in gracefully, Ying Yingfu saluted, Qian's face was with a perfunctory smile, Qin Zhiyu was very faceless, "Second sister, yesterday's mother sent someone to ask, saying that she could bring more people, the old lady had to let you go, if you don't let in, I won't accompany you back." ”

Qin Zhiwen's face was slightly stiff, if it weren't for her mother having to let her have more contact with the county lord of Jining, she wouldn't want to go, and she would be so ridiculed by her.

Zhiwan realized that because she came late, she let Xiao Zhao take advantage of the loophole in front of the Zhao family, and asked Qin Zhiwen to go to the Jining County Lord's Mansion with them, Qin Zhiwan was unwilling, but she didn't dare to disobey the Zhao family, so she could only spill her anger on her head.

Zhiwan was also speechless, the second room of the Dingyuan Hou Mansion and the Qin Mansion had already been separated, and the Xiao Zhao family was still so invisible, completely when the Hou Mansion was their second room, coaxing the Zhao family to turn their hearts towards her, but it was the Qian family and them who were angry.

Qian gave a few words of advice, and then let a few of them go out.

Outside the gate of the Hou Mansion, three carriages were parked, Qin Zhiyu got into the first carriage, with tassels and bells tied on it, it was very beautiful, Qin Zhiwen also wanted to go up, but Qin Zhiyu looked back at her, "Second sister, my fourth sister and I are sisters, we can only be regarded as cousins, how can there be a reason not to sit in a carriage with your own sisters and sit with you?" ”

Qin Zhiwen's face stiffened again, this time she couldn't bear it, and said with a smile, "Also, the county lord of Jining invited the fourth sister, and the two of us are just accompanied, so it is indeed inappropriate for her to sit in the carriage behind." ”

After speaking, Qin Zhiwen looked at Zhiwan and helped her into the carriageway, "I can go to Princess Liuhua's mansion, thanks to the fourth sister who knows the county lord of Jining, I heard yesterday that the Hou Mansion can receive the invitation from the princess's mansion is all because the main fourth sister of the county of Jining is you going, it is not good to invite you alone, so I sent a post to the Hou Mansion, the county lord of Jining was afraid that you would not have your share in the three places, so I sent you a separate one, and we all have to thank you well." ”

Qin Zhiwen said, glanced at Qin Zhiyu with a blue face, turned around and walked to a carriage behind, her face was no longer a smile, but a sneer, she was able to go to Princess Liuhua's Mansion not because of her, she relied on others, why did she sneer at her, the dignified concubine couldn't even compare to a concubine, she still had the face to sarcastically mock her?

Qin Zhi grabbed the car door tightly and blocked the door, knowing that he couldn't get in at night, and looking at the sky at night, he really wanted to say, forget the two of you, she went back to sleep.

Qin Zhiyu glared at Zhiwan before turning around and sitting down in the carriage, and said angrily, "I've never seen such a faceless person, I want to go with the hibiscus banquet, and I have to go with me when I go to play, I have never seen someone who loves to make tails for people so much!" ”

Zhiwan leaned there and closed her eyes, no matter what Qin Zhiyu said, she didn't respond, and the angry Qin Zhiwan pushed her with her hand, "What about you wood, talk to you!" ”

Zhiwan opened his eyes slightly, "I'm listening, you continue." ”

The fist hit the cotton, but there was no reaction at all, Qin Zhiyu glanced at Zhiwan, and didn't talk to Zhiwan anymore, Zhiwanle was pure.

Zhiwan leaned there, really sleepy and dazed, but the carriage occasionally bumped, Zhiwan wanted to sleep and couldn't sleep steadily, so he lifted the curtain of the car and looked out.

Soon, Zhiwan found that this street was a little familiar, sure enough, after a while, Zhiwan saw Chunfeng Building, at this time the Spring Breeze downstairs was not surrounded by people, and there was no bustard crying there to grab the ground, but there was a big red paper, which read: Chunfeng Building belongs to the first village girl, and has nothing to do with the king of Yuejun, and now it is sold for 20,000 taels of silver.
