43, a dead end set by 100,000 taels of gold (two watches)

'Flower' returned to the house for the ninth time, and went to the old lady's Muxiyuan to return to the Xiangxiang Xiaohui, and after hearing that Aunt Wu had found her later, her eyes were 'colored', and she hurriedly returned to her yard.

As soon as she stepped into the 'door', 'Hua' Jiu saw Aunt Wu sitting in the 'Hua' hall, stunned without blinking, and after ten days, she lost weight rapidly, her originally round face, her cheeks were sunken, her cheekbones were protruding, and the gentle temperament that was full of her body before was replaced by resentment and sadness.

'Hua' Jiu sighed secretly, when the Yang family splashed all the sewage on the five girls' 'Hua' Dogro that day, even she didn't expect that the world would develop to that point, she was powerless, it was already good to be able to turn over and protect herself, how could she take care of others.

"I heard, Aunt Wu is looking for me?" 'Hua' Jiu sat down opposite Aunt Wu and sent Xia Chu to make tea, and she opened the 'door' directly and asked.

Aunt Wu's eyes rolled, and when she heard the voice of 'Hua' Jiu, her lifeless face regained a little vitality, "Big girl, the concubine can't save the ......."

As she spoke, Aunt Wu's voice was choked, but her sunken eye sockets couldn't leave any tears.

'Hua' Jiushen 'groaned' for a while, she was not unsympathetic, but in this 'Hua' Mansion where she eats people and doesn't spit out bones, she can only keep herself.

"Aunt Wu, you should take care of your life, Ah Jiu asked a disrespectful word, in the past ten days, has my father gone to my aunt's house?" 'Flower' closed his eyes in half, and his plain hand, which was as white as porcelain, pinched the teacup lid and turned it around, and then gently closed it.

"He ruined my 'daughter', why should I smile and beg for pleasure with that kind of ruthless and unrighteous man!" Hearing 'Hua' Jiu's question, Aunt Wu's black eyes suddenly burst out with strong resentment, and that kind of darkness couldn't even 'shoot' into the daylight.

"Ah Jiu may not like to listen to what he says, but Aunt Wu, you must know that no matter who is in charge of the feed in this 'flower' family, the person who is in charge of the feed is still surnamed 'Hua', the reason why the Yang family doesn't miss the old relationship between you and her is that she thinks that your father is too partial to you, and she, now in her thirties, still can't give birth to a son, do you think she will make you feel better?"

'Hua' Jiu sneered, slowly blew down the tea soup, and then took a sip, and then stopped talking quietly.

Some words, if they are too straightforward, then they are not interesting, and the specific ones are still to think about it yourself, and a gentleman never stands under a dangerous wall, so this is naturally what he says.

Moreover, she is also happy to watch Aunt Wu and the Yang family fight, so that she will have a better time in the few days in the 'Hua' Mansion.

This is the trend of instigation and borrowing of knives.

Sure enough, Aunt Wu only thought about it for a quarter of an hour, and her eyes burst out with incomparable brilliance, the brightness was comparable to the summer daylight, and the resentment between the eyebrows dissipated little by little, and finally returned to the previous gentle and virtuous temperament, as long as she raised it for a few more days, and grew some 'meat' on her face, Aunt Wu would be the concubine who made the 'flower' industry pampered.

As soon as the corners of the nine 'lips' of the 'flower' were hooked, he smiled slightly, and the very light pupils were as deep as the inky blue lake, and the blue was like the sweetest 'seductive' honey poison.

"The concubine body thank the eldest girl for mentioning it, and the concubine body will be reciprocated one day." Aunt Wu got up and bowed to the 'flower' Jiuyingying.

'Hua' Jiu avoided it neatly, "Aunt Wu is serious, Ah Jiu just comforted a few words, and didn't say anything." ”

Aunt Wu understood the meaning of these words, she pursed her lips softly and smiled, flicked her handkerchief to cover the corners of her mouth, and her posture was more charming than before.

Since that day, 'Hua' Jiu has resumed his regular life of practicing calligraphy in the morning, taking a lunch break at noon, and blending incense in the afternoon, only asking Xia Chu to stare at the movements in the courtyard of Yang and 'Hua' Zhiyuan.

Sure enough, a few days later, at the beginning of the summer, the report came to the report, 'Hua' Zhi was in the Yang family's house, and the mother and 'daughter' talked all night, no one knew what she said, but on the second day, Wu Mazi hurriedly went to Yang's mother's house, Yang's house.

I also occasionally heard Xia Chu mention Aunt Wu, all of them were 'flowers', because they stayed in the concubine's room day and night, and snubbed Yang's words, including how many tea cups and 'flowers' were dropped behind Yang's back.

"Flower" nine do not take the opportunity to ridicule, nor fall into the well, one day, "flower" nine is practicing words, at the beginning of the summer into the study, some time ago there were rumors that the rare fragrance of the city treasure incense will be auctioned, after the success of the "flower" family, "flower" nine put the pen, looked at the big incense on the rice paper, eyebrows raised, slightly upturned "lips" pointed over, and smiled brightly.

Let Xia Chu change his clothes and hair, and after cleaning up, 'Hua' Jiu went to the old lady's Muxiyuan, and did not ask for peace for a few days, so she should also go to the old lady to show her filial piety.

The so-called "spirit" of people on happy occasions is refreshing, probably the "flower" old lady at this moment, "flower" Jiuyi entered the house, and at a glance saw that today's old lady was in an unusually good mood.

"Nine girls, it's really time for you to come, I'm about to send someone to find you." The old lady of 'Flower' beckoned 'Flower' Nine to approach.

'Hua' Jiu first greeted the three ladies in the third room before going to the old lady's bed, and meekly pinched the 'legs' and feet for the old lady.

"Today is a great thing, there is a strange fragrance in the market, but it was obtained by your father, so I was still telling the third daughter-in-law 'wife' just now, this year's wooden festival, just strike while the iron is hot, and it will be opened in five days." The old lady smiled, and the wrinkles on her face were piled together, like a chrysanthemum 'flower' in full bloom.

"If it's five days, won't the time be too tight?" 'Hua' Jiu's fine eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and his little face 'revealed' a rather worried look.

The third lady on the side chuckled, "Where will it matter, there are many people in our house, and the old lady 'operates' this grand event, many things are ready-made, just take them out of the warehouse and clean them." ”

"What your third aunt said is that my old bones can be used for a few years, and the nine girls will put their hearts back in their stomachs." The old lady leaned back, leaning on the smoky purple 'colored' moire cushion, and even the tips of her eyebrows were pleasantly happy.

"Then I'll rub my grandmother's blessing," Speaking of this, 'Hua' Jiu paused for a moment, and then asked with a slightly ignorant expression after a long while, "Since there is a strange fragrance, there must be a formula, why don't we buy this formula as well, wouldn't it be better?" ”

As soon as these words fell, the smile on the old lady's face was reduced, and even the third lady's face was no longer as relaxed as just now.

"It's not that I don't want to, your father still talks to this incense seller, it's best to have a recipe to buy it, even if you can't ......" Speaking of this, the old lady didn't continue, there were some things that she didn't want to say more in front of the juniors.

Even if you can't......

Then you have to get the recipe by any means! 'Flower' smiled lightly and softly on his face, but in his heart, he made up for the unfinished words of the old lady of 'Hua'.

She understands the nature of the 'flower' family too well, as a century-old incense merchant, that is, to try her best to strangle any new sprouts that rise out of control, and even more eager to take all the 'flower' fragrance recipes in her own hands to rest assured, even the children and 'daughters' can also be abandoned, such as her, such as 'flower' Zhi.

The five-day period passed in a flash.

The "flower" house ushered in the annual Muxi event, and the old lady of the "flower" today is wearing a royal blue "color" gourd double happiness pattern all over the gold gown, wearing a forehead ornament with a pattern of five blessings in the gold mud, in which the pearls the size of a pigeon egg are embellished, lining the "flower" old lady "spirit" and full of red light.

Regardless of her age, the old lady insisted on welcoming guests at the entrance of the big 'gate', and she only wanted to cover up the scene of the previous incident in which the man with unknown intentions slandered the 'flower' family and 'daughter'.

Today, Yang's is also the head of the 'insert' golden hairpin, the big red 'color' ten kinds of brocade makeup 'flower' silk clothes, which looks rich and 'forced' people and elegant atmosphere, even the 'flower' Zhi is also dressed up like a 'flower' butterfly, and the delicate red fluttering cheeks are comparable to the 'flower' Jiao, in contrast, the 'flower' nine pennies are much more pure, only a bean green 'color' high-waisted long skirt, tied with a white 'color' wide belt, and even the bun is only hairpin with a red coral bead tassel 'flower' Tian.

The guests came very early, very early, in an endless stream, almost most of the powerful people in the capital were invited, the 'female' guests were introduced into the inner courtyard by the maid 'female', and the male guests were brought into the outer courtyard by the small servant.

Until the end of the day, 'Hua' Jiu accompanied the old lady to greet the guests at the 'gate', and she carefully looked at the parked carriages, which seemed to be more numerous than in previous years.

"Grandmother, why do I think there are more guests this year?" 'Hua' Jiu tilted his head, and the red coral beads the size of rice grains swayed, making the palm-sized little face more and more petite.

"Naturally, yes, most of them come for the rare fragrance." After all, the old lady was old, and she couldn't stand it for a while, so she leaned towards the 'flower' Jiuyi, and leaned most of her weight on the 'flower' Jiu.

After persuading the stubborn old lady to go back to the inner courtyard for a short rest, she came to report at the beginning of the summer that Princess Yonghe's drive had arrived, and the old lady was surprised, and then rejoiced, the princess was not among her invitations, but she also came, which shows what it is self-evident.

"The nine girls and the princess are familiar with each other, you just have to serve the princess today, and the other things will be 'handed over' to others." 'Flower' The old lady immediately opened her mouth generously.

'Flower' Jiu responded, blessed with a gift, and received Princess Yonghe, and she was happy and relaxed in her 'private' heart.

Bringing the princess to her own secluded courtyard, 'Hua' Jiuping retreated left and right, and looked at Princess Yonghe just smiled and didn't speak.

"Hey, you girl, I'm afraid that this palace will pollute your share." Princess Yonghe scolded with a smile, and after the spider cannibalism incident, she verified the fragrance recipe in the hands of the 'flower' Jiu with her own eyes, and the uncertain worry in Princess Yonghe's heart disappeared completely.

"The people's 'daughter' doesn't mean that, the princess is a real nobleman, how can she covet that little bit of yellow and white vulgar things." 'Hua' Jiu covered his mouth with his sleeves and chuckled, and looked at Princess Yonghe with burning eyes.

The princess pursed her lips very unladylikely, and then took out a stack of silver tickets from her sleeve, "This is a bottle of Allure incense obtained from the final auction at the Baoxiang Club, a total of 100,000 taels of gold, all here." ”

'Hua' Jiu took it and didn't count it, but the extremely light pupils sprouted a bright streamer for the first time, like the brightest morning star, and like a cat that saw the fishy smell with a very simple mouth.

When Princess Yonghe saw her like that, she actually laughed out loud for the first time, and that little appearance was really like a real 'fan' of small wealth.

Hearing the princess's ridicule, 'Hua' Jiu was not embarrassed, she rubbed the silver ticket, estimated 'touching' and 'drawing' out two percent, and returned it to Princess Yonghe, this is indeed a 'trade' agreement between her and the princess, all the incense products she concocted, the silver money obtained after selling, the princess has two percent.

Princess Yonghe didn't refuse to do it, she directly put it into her sleeves, and then there was a plausible smile on her 'fine' face, "You really did it, and you made money from your family, and it was so natural." ”

After putting away the remaining silver tickets, 'Hua' Jiucai said, "How can you feel at ease?" To tell the princess the truth, as early as the time of my mother's death, I no longer regarded myself as a member of the 'flower' family. ”

Speaking of the 'Jade' clan, Princess Yonghe became interested, "How many formulas did your mother leave behind?" ”

'Hua' Jiu's heart was cold, his face was not 'exposed' at all, and the sharp light of his upturned 'lips' jumped, still smiling so smartly, "Could it be that the princess is still afraid that the people's 'daughter' will lose you?" You must know that in this fragrance world, those who have the same status as the princess want to step into it in every possible way, but the people's 'women' still feel that I prefer to 'deal' with 'women' like the princess. ”

Hearing this, Princess Yonghe didn't ask any more deeply, what 'Hua' Jiu said was right, after all, she didn't have the courage to lose her.

"The other bottle of Allure has been dealt with as you said, but this palace still feels a pity, 100,000 taels of gold set up the death of today's event, and this palace can only understand today, 'Hua' Ah Jiu, you are a vicious 'woman'." Princess Yonghe was blunt, as she spoke, she narrowed her eyes, her naturally smiling 'lip' line rose a little, and the appreciation of 'Hua' Jiu flashed in the depths of her eyes.

'Hua' Jiu got up and lifted the hem of her skirt and gave a blessing, her almond eyes narrowed, bent like a crescent moon, "The people's 'daughter' Princess Xie praised falsely." ”

It is a frank 'swing' and 'swing' who take the vicious words as praise.

When the words fell, the two of them looked at each other and smiled self-evidently.

At this time, Xia Chu's voice sounded outside the 'door', "Girl, the old lady is invited." ”

'Hua' Jiu pursed his 'lips', and his heart moved, knowing that this game was finally going to be staged.
