"If you give so much dowry to your sister, won't Du Mansion be in deficit?" Du Jianbo spread his hands, "Send my sister to be the crown princess, but the prince is a sick cat, in case there is no succession to the throne, aren't we a bamboo basket to draw water?" ”

"Jianbo, you have been following Lin Junsheng for so long, and you still can't hold your breath, whether the crown prince can inherit the throne in the end is not something we worry about, what we have to do is just to confuse the princelings. As for the dowry, if it is not given decently, what if the prince will be suspicious? Besides, if I don't give her a rich dowry, how will she listen to us? As the saying goes, a daughter who marries out spills water. ”

Du Jianbo smiled, "It turns out that my father thinks so far, I might as well too." ”

Three days later, the prince was hired, and the Du family was happy, but Du Lingling was worried.

"I don't know if this is right, but maybe this is the closest way to Lin Zhongchao." Du Lingling said to herself, "My father and brother only think about themselves, if I become the crown princess, I will never have anything to do with Du Mansion anymore!" ”

Qingxiangzhuang.

On the street, there are still spring bamboo shoots with mud all over the place, because there are many things, they can't be sold at any price, but new tea, because there are few, they are very expensive. But there are still a lot of people who buy it.

Zhou Zhengzheng and Zhang Bihua sat in the private room.

"Zheng, I have something to tell you. Because these days have been haunted in my heart, but I can't solve it. Perhaps, you can help me find the answer. Zhang Bihua leaned close to Zhou Zhengzheng's ear and said, "Do you know? I found out that our family and the deceased Empress Zhang turned out to be relatives. ”

Zhou Zhengzheng said: "What kind of relatives? ”

"Uncle-related relatives were still close relatives a few generations ago." Zhang Bihua said, "Empress Zhang died mysteriously, and the Zhang family in Huainan is gone, I am afraid, this is a conspiracy, in case someone finds out that our Zhang family and Empress Zhang are relatives, they will poison us." ”

Zhou Zhengzheng said: "It has been a long time since the Huainan Zhang family died, if that person wanted to poison you, he would have done it earlier, how could he wait until today?" It can be seen that the person did not know. ”

Zhang Bihua whispered: "I didn't know in the past, but it doesn't mean I won't know in the future." ”

"And what do you want?" Zhou Zhengzheng patted Zhang Bihua on the shoulder, "You can't scare yourself." ”

Zhang Bihua shook off Zhou Zhengzheng's hand and said, "Hmph! It's just that I told you as a confidant. ”

"Okay, okay, then I'll check it out for you, okay?" Zhou Zhengzheng smiled.

"That's pretty much it." Zhang Bihua also smiled.

Zhou Zheng was talking inside, and suddenly saw the door of Qingxiangzhuang, and listened to Qin waving to her.

Zhou Zheng immediately said goodbye and let Tingqin get into the carriage.

"Big girl, it's not good, the third master and the third lady are fighting!" Listen to Jean say, "Something that never happened!" The third master actually swollen the face of the third lady! ”

Zhou Zhengzheng said: "They are all from big families, how can they still learn from the market to fight?" So he hurried back.

When I arrived at the Mansion of Wu Guogong, I saw Feng Sanniang lying on the bed with a blue nose and swollen face, and the third master Zhou Yuan had long since disappeared.

Lin Yu stayed by the bedside and invited the imperial doctor to treat Feng Sanniang.

"You are also a big-hearted person, you know that he dotes on his aunt, but you still want to be angry with him, look at it, you are a woman, how can you be his opponent?" Lin Yu said while rubbing the medicine on Feng Sanniang.

Feng Sanniang cried: "I thought I met a good one, but who knew that it was not a person, but it hurt my child Zhou Yuan." There is such a father on the stall, he has never been pampered since he was born! ”

Lin Yu said: "Everyone has seen this, it's just that you raise Ah Yuan well, and when Ah Yuan is older, you will have hope." Why fight for a short time. ”

Zhou Zhengzheng listened to it and said, "So where will the third master go?" ”

"Where else can I go, I must go to Dongfeng Shili to listen to the play." Feng Sanniang said, "I'm obsessed with listening to the opera, where is it like a young master from a big family!" Still associated with the play, alas! How has it changed so much! It's like a different person! ”

Zhou Zheng then went to the east wind ten miles.

Qingxiangzhuang.

In the incense room, there are all kinds of spices, rich fragrances, filling the whole room, all kinds of incense, in order to be placed in a regular manner, and in the center of the room, there is a large table, on it, all kinds of bottles and cans, people are dazzled.

Mo Xiang lowered her head and was putting a bunch of black things into a purple jar, but Mo Xiang didn't know what kind of new spice this recipe would produce.

"Moxiang, it's almost noon, let's eat first." Zhang Bihua came over specially and greeted.

This is no longer Zhang urging Moxiang to eat, it can be said that Moxiang didn't wash a meal, almost all of them had to be urged, as if Moxiang's stomach was never hungry.

But Zhang Bihua felt distressed, since Mo Xiang came to Qingxiangzhuang to help, her body has been getting thinner and thinner day by day.

Although Moxiang is also getting more and more seats, Zhang Bihua knows better that the future of Qingxiangzhuang needs a healthy Moxiang.

"It'll be fine right away, I'll be out in a moment." Mo Xiang didn't look up, but leaned her nose closer to the jar and sniffed it, but in the end, Mo Xiang still shook her head, this fragrance did not satisfy her.

At this time, Zhang Bihua also walked into the incense room. The purpose is to pull the ink fragrance out of it.

In order to maintain the pure breath of the incense room, in this incense room, except for Zhang Bihua and Mo Xiang, no third person can come in.

"Mo Xiang, if you don't eat, your sense of smell will be dulled." Zhang Bihua leaned close to Moxiang's ear and said, "You eat something and drink some tea first." ”

Mo Xiang raised her head and smiled bitterly at Zhang Bihua, "Okay." ”

Finally, Zhang Bihua pulled the ink incense out of the incense room.

Zhang Bihua hurried and asked people to bring the hot meal to Mo Xiang.

"Eat more, I treat you like a sister."

"Sister Bihua, what do you say is wrong with me, why can't I always adjust well." Mo Xiang still seems to have no appetite, although the person has come out of the incense room, but the heart is still inside.

"Because you didn't let the incense pot rest, the jar is tired." The corners of Zhang Bihua's mouth were slightly opened, and she said with a faint smile.

"Okay." Mo Xiang finally gave in completely, reached out and began to eat.

Because Moxiang has been in contact with spices for a long time, her nose needs special care, so Zhang Bihua specially prepared medicinal food for Moxiang.

There are Houttuynia cordata, dandelions, etc. as the base, which is already a good decoction, in addition, the spice is warm, and Zhang Bihua also prepared a pear lily soup for Moxiang to moisten the lungs.
