Chapter 150: Persuasion

Having trouble?

What trouble can Mrs. Zhang encounter?

Duan Sui shook his head, "What does the Ninth Master mean?" The subordinates don't understand. ”

Fu Jiuqu glanced at him, "One or two hundred thousand dollars, that's the treasure." The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty. She auctioned with great fanfare to keep herself safe. ”

"What's safe?" Duan Sui was amused by his master's words, "How else can I say that this little lady is going to cause trouble again?" This spice, she placed at the door of Xinyi Fang, attracting bees and butterflies. The auction price is rising, but the people who came to bid were not only the major incense medicine shops in Bianjing, but also some children of the family who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic. None of these people accept anyone, and in order to grab incense, they almost fight...... If it goes on like this, it's not certain whether she can receive the money or not. ”

Fu Jiuqu closed his eyes lightly.

"If you don't make a big fuss, then what's the fuss?"

"Ninth Master, why can't your subordinates understand?"

"If you don't understand, you're right."

"......" Duan Sui looked at Sun Huai and scratched his head, "When my subordinates came back, they saw Zhang Lu, and they also went to Mahang Street." ”

"Zhang Lu?" Fu Jiuqu pondered for a moment, and suddenly smiled coldly.

"Sun Huai, change clothes."

Sun Huaifang just heard Duan Sui talk about Xinyi, and he didn't say anything, and when he heard the words, he frowned and moved slightly, and began to be unfair to his master again.

"Is the master going to Mahang Street?"

"Enter the palace." Fu Jiuqu's expression was faint, as if he didn't care about what Xin Yi did, and he didn't want to get involved in the incense auction turmoil.

"On the tape on the table."

Sun Huai breathed a sigh of relief and responded, but saw Fu Jiuqu silently stuffing the small sealed tin box containing incense medicine into his arms.

He glared back at Duan Sui.

Duan Sui was inexplicable and made a face at him.

~~

One or two spices cost 500,000 yuan, such a price, even in Bianjing, which is famous for its luxury and prosperity, is shocking.

On the street, everyone is talking.

"Once you smell it, you will be clear, and then you will get rid of all diseases."

"The smell is tangy and lasts for a long time."

"This is the only one, there is no semicolon."

"The only one in the world, there is nothing after filming."

The more the saying about the incense is spreading, the more mysterious it becomes. If it is changed to the later generations, this is a marketing method and hype technique, although the Song people do not have such a concept, but the character of joining in the fun is the same.

The incense was born.

The spice market was attracted by this new and clear aroma, and asked around about the origin of the ingredients and recipes, but found nothing.

The source is still here with Zhang Xiaoniang.

The law that the more you can't get something, the more you want it applies everywhere.

For a time, the incense became a strange commodity.

Zhang Xiaoniang's Xinyi Fang is even more famous in Bianjing.

At first, those who heard that a little lady who opened a medicine shop was going to auction off Qixiang, and ridiculed and ridiculed, immediately joined the chaos and became one of the invisible forces blocking the entrance of Xinyifang.

The auction caused a lot of uproar.

Cao Yi returned home from duty, changed out of his official uniform and went to Mahang Street.

He didn't worry about Xin Yi.

This is like this, how can a little lady deal with it?

Zheng Liu saw that he was about to leave with his tie on, so he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

"My lord, the eldest lady asked you to go to Ruian Hall to see her."

Cao Yi hesitated, "I'll come back and ask for peace." ”

Zheng Liu didn't stop it anymore, but he was very dissatisfied with Zhang Xiaoniang's behavior, "Zhang Xiaoniang really doesn't want to think about the adult, this eldest lady is angry about the adult and her affairs, she is good, just come out and show up, what kind of auction is there now, what kind of incense is sold like a flower and butterfly, and how many people are recruited from Beijing......"

"Shut up!"

Cao Yi has always been cautious and low-key, never causing trouble, Zhang Xiaoniang's behavior is contrary to his life.

But that's what makes her special.

"If it is a last resort, which little lady is willing to come out and show her face?" He glanced at Zheng Liu, picked up the incense on the table, opened the lid of the tin box, and the quiet fragrance came to his nose, penetrating his heart, like her smile.

Cao Yi sighed.

"It's my fault. It was I who couldn't give her a steady. She is a little lady, and it is really difficult for her to support a huge pharmacy and support three children and a group of guys on her own...... I should have given her a little bit of practical support earlier. If she has money, why should she do that? ”

Zheng Liu frowned and muttered dissatisfiedly.

"Adults blame themselves for everything, it's obvious that she doesn't worry...... The little lady is going to get married, it's enough to know how to teach her husband and children, she's good, she wants to be a show, no one can compare to this ability to cause trouble, if the eldest lady knows, she won't agree to your family affairs......"

Cao Yi glanced at him lightly, sighed, but didn't blame, changed a pair of boots and strode out.

He was afraid that he would be seen and told to his mother, so he bypassed the cloister and wanted to go out through the side door, but he did not admit it, and as soon as he passed the courtyard, he was stopped by the old lady.

"Where are you going to go when you just leave the house?"

Zheng Liu was frightened and stammered: "Big, big lady ......"

Cao Yi stopped, stood on one side, bowed his head and saluted.

"Mother."

The eldest lady Feng came over from the arched door of the courtyard, with a few girls and mothers-in-law, full of majesty.

"I think you've been blinded by the vixen's evil spell, and you've almost forgotten your surname."

"Mother." Cao Yi said in a low voice: "It's none of her business." ”

"Whoever she has? I don't think she's at ease. Feng Shi looked at his son's stubborn face, snorted heavily, turned his head and walked in front.

"Follow me."

There is an ancestral hall in the west courtyard, which enshrines the ancestors of Caofu.

Cao Yi's father, grandfather, and great-grandfather's tablets are all placed in turn.

As soon as the door opened, it smelled of incense.

"Let's go inside." The eldest lady stood outside the ancestral hall, clasped her hands in front of her, did not look at her son, and knelt down on the futon outside the door.

"The ancestors are on top, and the sect wife Feng is not strict with her godson, which humiliates the ancestors, and she is really ashamed to enter the ......"

Cao Yi's father died early, and the official was a member of the Yu department, and after his daughter became the queen, he was posthumously named King Wu. Among the sons of grandfather Cao Bin, the eldest and second, especially the fourth Cao Wei, are all well-known figures in the Great Song Dynasty.

Cao Yi's father was relatively mediocre.

In the family, the relationship between brothers and concubines is complicated. After Cao Yi's father passed away, their house was able to stand, and there was also a virtuous queen praised by everyone, and her mother Feng made great contributions.

Therefore, Cao Yi has been sensible and obedient since he was a child, reading and learning words, riding and archery rhythms, and never disobeying his mother's orders.

Seeing Feng kneeling in tears, Cao Yi stepped into the threshold without saying a word and knelt straight on the futon.

Feng cried for a while, and the waiting mother-in-law handed her a handkerchief and helped her up.

Seeing Cao Yi kneeling in the ancestral hall, motionless, Feng wiped his tears, and his face returned to coldness and calm.

"Your marriage match, your sister and I have already picked it for you. The youngest daughter of Lu Gong's family, fifteen years old, has a soft and gentle temperament, is good at poetry, understands music and rhythm, and is a good match for you. ”

Cao Yi didn't look back.

For a long time, he let out a helpless chuckle.

"Mother chose her, not because she has a soft temperament, is good at poetry, and understands music, but because she was born in the Donglai Lu clan and is the granddaughter of Lu Yijian."

Feng did not speak.

His gaze froze, and he cooled down for a moment, and said stiffly: "I have already shown the old lady, and your sister has also agreed, and I will find Mrs. Lu to talk to the lady of the Lu family in the next two days to find out the wind." ”

Cao Yi: "So, you have no choice?" ”

Feng Shi looked at his son's back.

"Hengqi, you have to be sensible. The powerful people of the Manchu Dynasty, the military generals of the Wenchen Dynasty, there must be better people than the lady of the Lu family, but the lady of the Lu family is the most suitable person for you. ”

Lu Yijian is a famous minister, although he has passed away for many years, Yu Wei is still there, and he also has a status in the hearts of the officials. His son Lu Gongshu is now not a big official, but he is quite famous, and his father once praised him for having the ability to be a "prince and auxiliary minister".

Cao Yigui is the uncle of the country, and he is in an important position in the front of the palace, if he finds a powerful person to marry, it will inevitably attract the suspicion of the official family and the attack of the villain, but it is the daughter of the Lu family, which seems to be outdated but has a profound background, is the most suitable.

"Your sister has seen the little lady of the Lu family, a daughter with outstanding character, and she can't mistake you."

Cao Yi slowly turned his head and looked at the cold face of his mother at the door, "I know that my mother is thinking about her son's future, but I don't want to do this marriage." In this life, if you don't marry a little lady, you won't marry. ”

Feng Shi saw that he was obsessed, and suddenly became angry.

"Ridiculous! Just for the sake of a widow, you disobeyed your mother's orders and disregarded the decency of the Cao family? You don't care about your mother, don't you care about your sister, don't you care about yourself? Don't look at the brilliance of our family right now, if you act recklessly, and your sister has no children, the family will only fall sooner or later......"

Feng Shi reprimanded his son, wiped his tears, and softened his voice, "If your eldest brother hadn't gone early, would your mother have been willing to force you?" Now Mother has no one to rely on but you, my son. ”

Cao Yi didn't say a word, looking at the ancestral tablet.

Feng Shi lowered his eyes and stared at Cao Yi's straight back: "If you enjoy the shadow of the ancestral industry, you have to put the ancestral industry first." Your sister was more reluctant than you when she entered the palace. Then if, as the son of the Cao family, you have to take care of the Cao family. ”

Cao Yi didn't look back, and the corners of his eyes gradually moistened.

"Mother, I really want to marry Mrs. Zhang."

"My mother knows, my mother knows."

Feng Shi heard his son's choking, and also shed tears, "I have wronged my son." When you get married, your mother will call the shots and accept her as a concubine of Caofu. For the sake of my son, my mother will give her enough dignity, but the lady of the Lu family, you must marry my mother back. ”

------Off topic------

Fu Jiuqu: Do you understand what it means to have a common heart? I know him, I know her.

Cao Yi: So what? I'm going to marry her.

Fu Jiuqu: Can you marry you?
