During dinner, Fu Jiuqu did not go downstairs.

Xin Yi placed the food by the window, put a pickled radish in front of him, fish-flavored eggplant, vinegar fish, hot loin slices, and a crystal dumpling green vegetable soup in the middle. The two sat opposite each other, blowing the sound of Wuzhang River.

In the wind, listening to the hustle and bustle of Jinzhuang Wazi next door, I ate to my heart's content.

Fu Jiuqu left late at night, through the side door of the side courtyard.

Xin Yi sent him to the door. Hearing the sound of his horse's hooves disappearing, he went back to the house to rest.

Early the next morning, Xin Yi took the initiative to go to Deng's Rouge Shop.

Aunt Li was talking to someone outside the door. Judging from the angry and bitter look on her face, she probably didn't mean anything nice.

Xin Yi called her, and Aunt Li turned her head when she heard the words.

"Hey, why do you have time to come here, little lady?"

She waved her hand to the chattering little sisters and signaled them to go about their business. Then she changed her expression, twisted her slightly fat waist, and came to greet them with a smile on her face.

"Sit in the room, little lady, please sit in the room..."

Seeing her look like this, Xin Yi almost thought that Fu Jiuqu had remembered it wrong...

"Auntie." Xin Yi frowned, "Did something happen to our batch of ointment? Did someone feel uncomfortable after using it?"

Aunt Li was stunned and smiled awkwardly: "Where did you hear about this?"

That being said, this is indeed true.

Xin Yi pursed her lips, "Is it serious? Why didn't you tell me?"

"Hey, what's that? It's not serious, it's not serious." Aunt Li shook the silk in her hand, smiled disapprovingly, and invited Xin Yi into the room. She passed around the tea and fruit treats, dismissed the waiter, approached her, and started

Start scolding.

"To tell you the truth, I was frightened to death yesterday. People from Kaifeng Mansion came to my house angrily and took my old man away, saying that the ointment was used to ruin him..."

Xin Yi asked: "What then?"

Aunt Li snorted, "We are doing an innocent business, what are we afraid of? The Kaifeng Mansion asked questions, took away a few boxes of ointment samples, and then released the person."

Xin Yi felt that Aunt Li was a bit conceited.

"Aren't you worried?"

"Don't worry." Aunt Li said, "Don't we have the support of Guangling County Prince?"

"..."

Aunt Li said it matter-of-factly. As soon as she finished her voice, she saw Xin Yi's face darkened and she immediately put on a smile, "You know, you know, our business has nothing to do with the prince. Don't be offended, little lady, she is a rough person..."

Xin Yi said solemnly: "I made it very clear to my aunt when we first cooperated, not to involve irrelevant people."

Officials in the imperial court were very afraid of getting involved with merchants. Even if Bianjing's commerce developed and the status of merchants improved, merchants were allowed to join officials, and officials could also do business, some concepts were engraved in their bones, and merchants would still be inferior.

, let the real nobles look down upon them.

Aunt Li knew what Xin Yi meant, nodded repeatedly, and then said:

"Actually, I don't need Kaifeng Mansion to solve the case. I already know the ins and outs of the matter."

"Oh?" Xin Yi was slightly surprised.

Aunt Li snorted and raised her nostrils to the sky, making her angry.

"Do you still remember the grudge between your pharmacy and the Tan family's consultation?"

Xin Yi nodded.

Aunt Li tilted her mouth and said, "Isn't it enough to make people jealous? Our newly applied ointment is expensive, but if it sells well, it will attract the jealousy of many people... Then the Chen family,

The Jiang family, if they have nothing to do, they will fabricate bad things about me behind my back. That day, the Jiang family even sent a little girl from the family to buy our ointment, thinking that I wouldn’t recognize it... Bah!"

Aunt Li said it with a nose and an eye, and at the end she spoke back to others about their ancestors.

"They must be doing little things secretly to ruin our good deeds. Huh, it's useless to give birth to a son. I curse their ancestors for eighteen generations without being able to show their respect!"

So cruel.

Xin Yi was amused by Aunt Li's exaggerated appearance.

She said: "Did you sell it to her? How much did you sell it for?"

Aunt Li rolled her eyes: "Sell it. Why don't I sell it? I even sold them at a high price. It must be the one who is trying to suppress the grandson. I have told the official. I will see if I find them out and I don't spit on him for ten days."

Xingzi..."

~

Xin Yi thought this was strange, and wanted to suspend the production of ointment, but Aunt Li refused, saying that her family had been making a living in Kaifeng for generations, and it would be a big joke if this would cut off people's money.

and,

If they don't sell, people will find fault and say they are at a loss.

Xin Yi thought it made sense, but to be on the safe side, she specifically asked the people who used her ointment——

Xiang Ling, Liang Ren, Madam An, Madam Xiao Cao, and the two girls from Jinzhuang Wazi next door, they all said that after using it, their skin tone became brighter, spots faded, and it felt much smoother and softer.

What's the problem...

In this way, Xin Yi felt relieved.

As long as there are no problems with your own products, there is no way to stop others from looking for trouble.

When soldiers come, it will be blocked, and when water comes, it will be covered by earth.

Xin Yi did not expect that the first thing that came to his attention was not Zhi Gao, but the matter of the female heir apparent in Dali.

This Duan Yun was also of a straightforward nature. On the second day after returning from Xinyi Medicine Shop, he went to Zhazi and presented it to the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, asking to be married to Zhang Xun.

By name, without even a hint of euphemism, I decided to marry Zhang Xun.

She also wrote in her notes that she had obtained the consent of Zhang Xun's wife and begged the officials to come forward to arrange a marriage for her.

Xin Yi didn't know what Zhao Zhen thought when he saw this Zha Zi, but when Duan Yun came to her aggressively, she was frightened.

"Where's the husband-releasing letter? Bring it."

Xin Yi was stunned for a moment, "What does the prince do with this?"

Duan Yun raised his chin and said, "Go find Zhang Lang and give him a surprise."

Is it really a surprise? Xin Yi found it incredible when she told her the cause and effect——

"The officials agreed? Really agreed?"

Duan Yun smiled slightly, with a little pride on his face, "That's natural. I personally asked for the request, how could the officials refuse? But..."

Xin Yi asked nervously: "But what?"

Duan Yun said: "The officials have said that a man cannot be forced to marry a woman. He has to see the wife's husband's letter and Zhang Lang's wife's letter before he is willing to marry me..."

This is a reasonable thing and is not considered difficult.

An emperor cannot break up a marriage abruptly.

Unless the person agrees.

Xin Yi pursed his lips, "Does Zhang Sanlang agree?"

Duan Yun's eyebrows arched up, with a serious look on his face, and he smiled heartily, "I will go find him as soon as I get your release letter. Zhang Lang and I are in love. We have been waiting for this day for a long time, and I am afraid I will be very happy."

Alright?"

Xin Yi looked at this little girl with beaming eyes, full of fantasy and longing for this marriage, and somehow agreed with her.

Although she couldn't believe that things would go so smoothly, she still went back to her room as she was told, found Zhou Daozi, and asked him to write a "letter of letting go" to her according to the format, and then signed her name to be the husband...

Zhou Daozi was originally unwilling to agree to such a thing that would break up a marriage, but because Xin Yi promised him ten beggar's chickens, he reluctantly agreed.

Duan Yun took Xin Yi's "Book of Release" and left happily to find Zhang Xun.

On the other side, in the palace city, Zhao Zhen's Funing Palace was not peaceful.

In the inner hall, Zhao Zhen kept a straight face and said nothing.

The person sitting below him is the eldest princess, his biological sister Zhao Yuqing.

Today, Zhao Yuqing came to the palace with only one purpose: to ask the officials to grant the request of the Crown Prince of Dali and let her marry Zhang Du Yuhou. She also used many high-sounding rhetoric to win people's hearts and surrender to the country, which would definitely win the praise of the officials.

Jia Yingming waits...

Zhao Zhen snorted coldly after hearing this.

If Zhang Xun didn't come back, Zhao Zhen would probably turn a blind eye to how Fu Jiuqu and Mrs. Zhang would get along. As long as he was not his wife, he would be left alone...

But now that Zhang Youyou is here, Zhao Zhen will never allow this kind of thing to happen to Fu Jiuqu.

However, he did not expect that the eldest princess would come to plead for mercy in person.

Zhao Zhen didn't think much about it, let alone agreed to Zhao Yuqing, but asked the chamberlain to call Fu Jiuqu...

"Did you force your mother to become a lobbyist?"
