"What? Your request to enter the palace to see Feng Xi has hit a wall again?"
In the Duke's Mansion, Xie Bin, who had just returned home, took a sip of tea and looked at Xie Wanyin with a pair of eyes that looked calm in front of him.
In the past two days, his daughter had sent news to the palace whenever she had nothing to do. He even asked the eldest princess who was recuperating in the palace to come forward, hoping that Feng Xi would agree to see her.
After all, if they want to obtain the fragrant dew formula in the name of help, they have to talk to Feng Xi in person.
Similarly, if her daughter cannot enter the palace, how can she meet that boy Qi Xiao?
"Dad, please stop laughing at Wanyin!"
A pair of beautiful eyes looked at Xie Bin with resentment. Xie Wanyin was angry that she didn't get the prescription, and even more angry that she couldn't go and see Feng Xi's helpless state in person, being detained in the Yangxin Palace.
That's right, Feng Xi was grounded again.
Unlike before, when she was nominally detained in the Yangxin Hall but could still walk between the halls, this time she really annoyed the emperor to the point that she couldn't even leave the side hall.
In this case, let alone the post she handed in, even Feng Yunxuan went to Yangxin Palace to plead for mercy, and was reprimanded several times by the emperor.
It can be said that if she wants to see Feng Xi again, it will be impossible for her in less than ten days and a half.
Xie Bin obviously saw what was on his daughter's mind, and immediately said with a smile:
"Dad, why are you laughing at you? I am just happy for you. Think about it, Feng Xi first made a fuss about going to Mingzhou with the prince, and last night she had a big quarrel with the emperor because Fang Concubine was rewarded and will be lifted from the ground soon. One fight. The Emperor is not just banning her, he is giving up on her completely..."
As the Minister of Punishment, Xie Bin had to go to court every day to discuss affairs.
There are many connections in the officialdom, and even if you don't know it, you can get wind of it from many colleagues.
Just yesterday afternoon, Zhao Xigang, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, brought a bunch of rare treasures to the Chuxiu Palace. The smile on his face seemed to be a signal that the emperor wanted to repair the relationship with Fang Concubine, the prince and the third princess.
If the chess piece Feng Xi had not been used anymore, their emperor would never have acted like this.
After all, this emperor looks like a warm spring breeze, but in fact he is just like Qi Shuai Qi Yuanming, who is full of hard bones.
"What Dad means is that we just need to wait until she falls and then pay the minimum price..."
Xie Wanyin's eyes lit up, and a smile immediately bloomed on his lips.
She originally thought that Feng Xi could still dance around for a while, but the other party's brain was really not clear, and she couldn't see the situation clearly until now.
However, Xie Bin picked up the tea cup again and said with a sophisticated expression:
"Let's not worry about Feng Xi's matter for now, but the fragrant dew recipe..."
Xie Wanyin looked at Xie Bin with some confusion, but Xie Bin didn't mean to show off:
"There are some rumors in the palace, saying that the fragrant dew in Feng Xi's hand came from somewhere else instead of thinking about it herself."
"Is this news true?"
Xie Wanyin was stunned for a moment, a little surprised.
"It's almost the same, because Aunt Gui accidentally let it slip when she was chatting with the palace people. Of course, the palace is full of people, so she wanted to tell everyone who inquired about it. If you sell your power well, you might be able to escape after Feng Xi falls."
"Then did she reveal the origin of this recipe?"
Hearing that Fang Zi might not belong to Feng Xi at all, Xie Wanyin felt happy again.
She said, how could Feng Xi's brain come up with such a recipe!
really……
However, Xie Wanyin's joy did not last long, because Xie Bin quickly shook his head and said:
"I don't know. Aunt Gui has not been with Feng Xi for a long time. I only know that the fragrant dew was bought by Feng Xi's men as a gift to her. I don't know who bought it or where it came from."
"It doesn't matter, since Xianglu can only control a few states in the south, dad, please send the Chen family to investigate carefully. If it succeeds, won't they also benefit?"
Xie Wanyin smiled beautifully.
Both her father and brother were officials and could not do business, but she, Xie Wanyin, could.
Xie Bin laughed out loud at this, raised his hand and patted his daughter's delicate shoulder and said:
"Wanyin is indeed my father's little cotton-padded jacket. I really thought of the same thing as him. In fact, my father had long suspected the origin of this fragrant dew. It happened that Master Sun of the Chen family had his birthday two days ago, so he sent a letter when he sent someone to deliver the gift. Let them pay attention.”
Xie Wanyin nodded. As a new branch of the Xie family, the Chen family has always been the most sensible and know-how.
No, in the past year or so, the Chen family has given her a lot of perfume, rouge, lipstick... She still likes them very much.
Moreover, Miss Sun of the Chen family has made an agreement with her brother to become a concubine in their Xie family's big house. We will all be considered a family from now on, right?
At the same time, at the Qingzhou noodle stall, the secret guard who came to report disguised as a boy said to Wu Guang:
"It was my incompetence in doing things that made the old lady see the clue immediately and said that we were not the real master. I wanted to ask the young master and the young lady to go there in person..."
Although these people's job is to be secret guards, they also learn to deal with people in daily life. Some of them even have one or two good skills. If they don't work as secret guards, they can make a living casually.
But Mrs. Su obviously knows how to judge people, but after a few words she said that they were not sincere, and she couldn't bear it.
What does this make them do?
"Forget it, you are not serious businessmen at all. Really smart people can spot the clues."
He took out the copper plate from his pocket and threw it on the table. Qi Xiao took Feng Xi's hand and left the noodle stall.
It stands to reason that doing business may not be something that cannot be done by your subordinates. Even if this is just a temptation by them, the businessmen on the opposite side will usually accept it.
After all, money is not easy to make, and the God of Wealth is not easy to serve.
Maybe you have satisfied the people who came to test you, and the real God of Wealth will come soon.
But the old lady of the Su family obviously had no intention of entertaining the tempter in order to please the person behind him...
"Mom, why did you drive people out like this? I looked at the demeanor of those people, they don't look like those who would take advantage of us..."
At Su's house in Pinglan Lane, Su Xue was looking at Mrs. Su with red eyes, with unspeakable complaints in her tone.
It's not that she really has any objections to her mother, but the fact is that the Su family, under the pressure of the Chen family, can hardly support even the last shop on the street.
She has tried her best to deal with it these days, but not to mention the local shops and wealthy households in Qingzhou, even the merchants who come and go are unwilling to buy goods from their shops.
Not only was all the fragrant dew in her hands, her craftsmen had also disappeared, leaving only two old masters with her father.
It was just difficult in the shop, but her brother, who had suffered a stroke, had also been in poor condition recently, so she had to go all over the city to find a doctor who was willing to treat him.
But it is said that no one cares about the poor in the downtown area, and the rich in the mountains have distant relatives. Everyone knows that the Su family and the Chen family are not dealing with each other. Now the Chen family's sesame seeds are blooming steadily, but the Su family...
For a time, not to mention the famous doctors in Qingzhou City, even the ordinary ones were trying to avoid it, for fear that they would offend someone they shouldn't offend.
Jing'er and the others had gone out to ask for help early in the morning, wondering if they could bring back someone reliable to her uncle...
The more Su Xue thought about it, the more her heart ached, and the tears in her eyes were like a bursting river that couldn't stop.
Mrs. Su, on the other hand, was wearing a snow-green summer dress, and on her head was the only decent set of emerald hair and face she had in the cabinet now. She looked at the main entrance outside the hall with piercing eyes.
Although he didn't say a word, his straight back was stronger than a man's.
At this moment, Ning Gu, the old servant who had been following her, ran in from outside.
"Old madam, Miss Xue, here we come, here we come, those people really came with their master's family!"
