The third prince grabbed Zhou Feng's hand, stared closely at the three moles on his hand, and asked with a look of surprise: "Have you used this mole since you were a child?"
Zhou Feng quickly took his hand back, turned around and said, "Sir, you are wrong. This is not a mole, it is just the black sesame seeds that I accidentally dropped in my hand when I had breakfast this morning."
As he spoke, he rubbed his hands together.
The third prince strode forward, "No way, I just looked at it and it was clearly a mole."
Zhou Feng was afraid of being recognized, so he immediately said with a straight face: "You are really wrong."
At this time, the waiter on the side also came over. He thought this man was here to cause trouble, "Sir, do you want to buy incense? If you don't want to buy it, please go out."
The third prince stared at Zhou Feng for a long time and suddenly calmed down.
He took two steps back, "Sorry, I must have seen it wrong just now." ?.?????.???
As he spoke, he looked up at the incense cabinet in front of him and pointed at the three rows of fragrant dew. "I bought all the fragrant dew here."
"Bought them all?" The clerk was very surprised.
The third prince nodded lightly and pointed to the fragrant pills at hand, "I want these more."
The clerk quickly calculated with his abacus, "Sir, here is a total of four hundred taels of silver."
Without thinking, the third prince took out a banknote from his arms, which happened to be four hundred taels.
The boy took it in his hand, his body trembling slightly with excitement.
I made four hundred taels of silver at once, which is not a small sum.
Zhou Feng deliberately stayed far away from the third prince, turned to the waiter and ordered: "Pack up the incense for this guest."
"Okay, shopkeeper!" The waiter responded quickly and got up to install the incense.
The third prince stood at the door and looked at Zhou Feng for a long time before leaving the incense shop.
After leaving the incense shop, he hurried back to his house and immediately sent his confidants to inquire about the Zhou family incense shop.
Within three days, the people sent out had news.
"Your Majesty, the shopkeeper of Zhoujia Incense Shop is named Zhou, and his family lives in Cheng'an County, Qingzhou Prefecture."
The Third Prince quickly asked: "Besides these, is there anything else? For example, who is in his family?"
After thinking for a moment, the confidant said slowly: "This week's family was born in a farm family. The whole family lives in the small Changliu Village, so there is not much information that can be inquired about. However, he is very close to Mr. Fang. Do you want to go there in person?" Go to Cheng'an County and look for Mr. Fang."
Mr. Fang and the Third Prince were old acquaintances. Although they were more than twenty years apart in age, they were close friends.
It’s just that Mr. Fang left the capital very early.
The confidant said again: "Your Majesty, this matter cannot be made public. If we send people to Changliu Village to investigate, it will definitely attract the attention of Concubine Wu and the Wu family."
The third prince nodded, "Yes, then I will go to the palace tomorrow and tell the emperor that I will go to Cheng'an County to visit the frail Master Fang and bring him some precious medicinal materials."
Mr. Fang has gotten older recently and is indeed in poor health. He mentioned this in a letter to him a few days ago.
The confidant hurriedly saluted, "Okay, sir."
Early the next morning, the third prince immediately asked the emperor to resign, and with his confidants, they rode in a carriage and rushed towards Cheng'an County.
The third prince was originally impatient and wanted to ride a fast horse, but he was afraid of arousing the suspicion of the emperor and Concubine Wu, so he chose a rather luxurious carriage and filled it with gifts. He really looked like he was going to visit relatives. appearance.
Fortunately, the emperor was still in a state of absent-mindedness because he missed the queen, and did not notice anything wrong with the third prince at all.
In Changliu Village.
In the Zhou family's incense room, new incense is steaming in full swing.
Du Wanchun was busy grinding the fragrant powder.
Zhou Ruiyuan was busy lighting the fire. Now the weather was getting hotter and hotter. Before long, his forehead was covered with sweat.
Du Wanchun put the ground incense powder aside, came to him, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, "Mr. sir, why don't you go and rest first, I'll watch the fire here."
Zhou Ruiyuan threw the firewood in his hand into the fire, "It's okay. It's hard to control the heat. I'll do it."
After saying that, he didn't forget to tell her, "It's hot here, don't stay here for too long."
Du Wanchun took back the handkerchief, smelled the steaming fragrance inside, and said with a smile: "The steaming fragrance should be good, I will go out later."
Aunt Zhou came in with a basin of washed fruits and flower petals, "Wan Chun, come and try this."
After saying that, he gave the red fruit in his hand to Du Wanchun.
Du Wanchun took it in his hand and looked at it, "Mom, what is this?"
