Xin Yi took the black lacquer wooden box in surprise and opened it to take a look.

Inside were several palace porcelains, including bowls and plates. The bottoms were stamped with the factory seal of the official kiln. They were not the ones she had seen at Concubine Zhang's that day, but they were more exquisite and gorgeous than those. Brand new,

There are no traces of use, and it is wrapped in gorgeous brocade, making it look extremely precious.

She was a little excited holding it in her hands.

This thing will be worth hundreds of millions in future generations.

"Thank you so much for the reward from the county king."

Xin Yi happily saluted, and seeing Fu Jiuqu's expressionless face, he asked curiously.

"I just saw the prince at Du's Incense Shop. Is he buying something or handling a case?"

Due to the publicity of Du Zhongqing, a talented incense maker, Du's Fragrance and Medicine Shop moved to Macing Street not long ago, and the business became extremely prosperous. Many princes, princes, and noble daughters came to buy spices.

But Fu Jiuqu is obviously not.

"Handling the case."

"oh."

Xin Yi nodded and did not ask him any further questions.

Unexpectedly, Fu Jiuqu took the initiative to explain.

"Do you remember the shipwreck?"

How could you forget?

Xin Yi glanced at him lightly.

"Is the case about to be closed? When will the county king give Bai Duyi and Qi Nanxiang to me? A gentleman..."

"That's what you're worried about!" Fu Jiuqu interrupted her dissatisfiedly, snorted softly, and looked at the little face in front of him that loved money as much as life, and felt inexplicably irritated.

He didn't know what he disliked about her, he just couldn't stand it, and even his tone couldn't help but become stiff.

"The Imperial City Department found out that a batch of spices from the shipwreck of the Zhenla Kingdom flowed into Du's Fragrant Medicine Shop. Today, the King of Japan came to Maxing Street to investigate the matter, and I will bring you the bowl by the way."

Xin Yi couldn't stand Fu Jiuqu's cold eyes, his scalp was numb, and he nodded happily.

"Then I will wait for the county king to close the case and give me the promised spices..."

Fu Jiuqu sneered, "Go ahead!"

Xin Yi raised his eyebrows, looked at him nonchalantly, and smiled at each other.

"The life of a poor family is very difficult. The prince can't understand it, so don't ridicule me, okay?"

Fu Jiuqu raised his eyelids and did not answer, but his eyes slanted towards the back room.

"Why did Cao Yi suddenly come to you?"

"I asked him for help." Xin Yi briefly explained the matter of Wen Zi's disappearance, and then said with hope: "I would like to ask the prince to help me keep an eye on it. If there is any news about the girl, send someone to tell him."

I."

Oh!

Fu Jiuqu calmly raised his eyes.

"Are you giving orders to me?"

"Request." Xin Yi saluted, "I am the one requesting the prince, okay?"

"Okay." Fu Jiuqu lowered his head and caressed his jade fingers, the corners of his lips raised slightly, but there was no words.

It was inexplicably awkward for the two of them to stand like this.

What's more, Cao Yi is still waiting for her inside.

Xin Yi cleared his throat, "Then let's do it. On the day when the medicine store opens, I'll invite the prince to have a glass of water and wine..."

Drive him away?

Fu Jiuqu looked cold and arrogant.

"I can't come. I have something to do."

~~

After walking out of Xinyi Drug Store, Sun Huai looked up at the horizontal plaque and sighed inexplicably.

"Master, you made a special trip to ask for the reward for the young lady and sent it here. Why don't you explain it clearly to her? It is a royal gift from the official family. It is such a precious thing. She must not take it seriously..."

Fu Jiuqu lazily got on the carriage, "She has eyes."

If you have eyes, you will see.

Sun Huai sighed and waited for the carriage to start slowly. Then he walked outside the curtain and whispered: "If you have eyes, you may not have a heart."

Fu Jiuqu made no sound and was quiet.

The carriage rumbles forward.

Sun Huai looked back and laughed.

"Ms. Zhang is a unique woman. There have been many rumors since the drug store opened, but she didn't care at all and kept in close contact with Lord Cao as usual...The same goes for Lord Cao. They all say that there are many disputes at the widow's door, but he doesn't

He knows how to avoid suspicion, he is a dignified former deputy capital commander, and he is also the superior officer of Zhangdu Yuhou, and he just goes to the house of his subordinate's widow, which is really unusual."

He spoke cryptically, but Fu Jiuqu heard it clearly.

"What does it have to do with you?"

Sun Huai was startled and chuckled.

"Young one is just talking nonsense, just saying this casually... Of course, I also see that the prince cares about Mrs. Zhang and the three younger ones, so I worry about my master..."

"Huh!" Fu Jiuqu said lukewarmly: "Xingyuan left a message. If he doesn't come back from his trip to Beijing, Xiao Zhang can do whatever she wants. Whether she remarries or does anything, it's up to her.

"

"That's true. Even Zhang Du and Yu Hou are unwilling to take care of it, let alone others..."

Sun Huai glanced at the gently swaying curtain, thought of something, and suddenly sighed quietly.

"My marriage to the Cao family has also been decided. I will come here less frequently in the future, so as not to cause gossip."

"Gossip?" Fu Jiuqu's voice became a little colder.

Sun Huai could even hear his faint anger.

"You bitch! Whoever dares to gossip about me will have his tongue pulled out."

"Yes, yes, yes." Sun Huai didn't dare to offend this living king of hell. He felt that his master's tone was a little too excited, so he laughed in a low voice.

"What does our father want to do? Who dares to stop him? The younger one is just chatting his teeth..."

"Younger, do you think that Commander Cao and Madam Zhang are too close? This Commander Cao is not like Mr. Cai Xiaohou, who can attract bees and butterflies no matter what happens... Commander Cao keeps a clean mind and never goes to the house to have wine and listen to music.

, How could a pure and honest man fall in love with the little widow?"

"Tsk, tsk, things in this world are really like carrots and cabbage, everyone has their own preferences..."

Sun Huai sighed with emotion.

"If that little lady Zhang can really be taken over by Commander Cao, then her life will be considered good. Commander Cao doesn't say anything else, his character needs to be compared in Bianjing City. How many young ladies want to follow him, but they still

I don’t have that blessing…”

Sun Huaizheng was talking vigorously when he suddenly felt his ears go cold and something flew up from his head.

When he looked up again, he realized that it was his hat that was flying.

My head feels cold.

In the oblique light from the corner of the curtain, Fu Jiuqu's cold and cool face could be seen.

"If you talk too much, your head will fly."

Sun Huai was so frightened that his legs went weak and he almost knelt down on the spot.

He is usually this kind of person, I just give him a few words of scolding from time to time, but have he ever been so angry? He even wanted to tear off his head?

"You know your mistake."

"Get away, don't be an eyesore!"

"yes!"

…

The characters drawn by Cao Yi are lifelike.

When Wen Zi's pretty appearance appeared on the end of the pen, Xiang Ling burst into tears and kept sobbing asking where she was.

Xin Yi looked at the vivid portraits and felt deeply.

Mr. Cao, a general who is proficient in music, good at calligraphy and painting, and good at riding and shooting... is really something special.

Xin Yi had never been very fond of ancient portraits, thinking they were abstract and not like real people, but the gentle postures painted by Cao Yi were very vivid, as if real people came to life before his eyes.
