Spirit Seeds heard that Yueshang came out, and who brought him to Manhang. In his year, if I cultivated the history of flowers, it would be listed as the number one incense in the world.

The first incense should be the first person.

Wan Shoufu's concubine Wang Shi sat in front of Wan Niangniang and said earnestly: "...Everyone outside calls this fragrant dew the first incense, and the concubine thinks that there is no one in the world who should use the first incense more than Niangniang. What about incense? Empress is supreme and noble, and she has the grace of the emperor as wide as the sky and as deep as the sea, and all the good things in the world should be honored to the empress."

Wan Huang's noble concubine is already forty people, although the emperor respects and loves her as before, but when it comes to the favor of the inner circle, it is not as good as Shao Xian, Yang Fei, the young concubines with children. Over the years, she only likes to dress up with dignity and dignity, which is in line with her status as the first concubine, and doesn't like fashionable new things.

She took the fragrance dew lazily, glanced at the beauty picture on the box, and said with a smile: "The box is not bad. A few days ago, the emperor presented a beauty picture to the emperor, and I looked at the picture on the picture. The method is somewhat similar, but I don’t know if the flower dew inside will match this box.”

Wang also tried the flower lotion herself, and quickly took it out for Wan Niangniang to wipe it, and said with a smile: "The things he sells are all exquisite, Niangniang saw that there is a piece of paper in this box, which says how to wipe and how to take it. There is also an eyeliner in his family, and the concubine wanted to bring a few boxes to present to the empress. Later, I heard that Eunuch Liang had already given it to her, so it would be difficult to imitate her."

Wan Niangniang glanced at the instruction manual, smelled the faint fragrance on her body, like the dark fragrance sent from a distance through the window, smiled slightly, and said generously: "You don't have to look at him. His thoughts are his, yours is yours, Ben Gong I like it the same. You are my relatives, you don’t need to try to please me, as long as I have my heart in my heart, I will be happy.”

Wan Shoufu is thinking about the empress in his heart, so who doesn't care about it

Eunuch Gao heard about this, and when he turned around, he gave his heartless nephew a hard lesson.

Last time he used the eyeliner first, and this time the perfume was also his first. Why did he take so much first, but he didn't give it to the goddess, and he also took the first place to be praised by the goddess

If it wasn't for the blood of their Gao family, they would have been beaten to death with a big stick today!

Gao Su told him to beat his head and run around, shouting as he ran: "My son is also a filial piety! Our family is different from Wanshoufu's family - they are serious relatives, and even if they belong to the sect, it is not taboo to give anything. Our family sent a fragrance to the empress with a picture of a living beauty printed on it, doesn't the empress find it irritating?"

What's that... that seems to make some sense. These beauties are all liked by men. Which woman likes a beautiful young woman who is younger than herself

Eunuch Gao pondered the thoughts of the harem's concubine and resentment, and the stick that was about to be drawn on Gao Su's buttocks also paused: "Liang Fang's servant arrives at Gujue, there is no picture on the eyeliner ointment presented, but on the attached paper. The eyes in the paintings are not very good-looking, and it is not something that makes people jealous."

Gao Su saw that he had escaped the catastrophe, and smiled: "Dad wants to understand? Then the son will leave first."

Walk

Eunuch Gao flicked his wrist and knocked him hard again: "The incense dew was for you in the first place, so you wouldn't have changed the box and presented it to me directly? Xian, that is also your father and my filial piety is ahead!"

Gao Su muttered: "Xianglu is not something that is rare. Without this beauty, without the name of the first fragrance, how can the empress be rare."

He only speaks sarcastic words, splashes cold water, doesn't know how to save face for his father, what's the use of asking this son!

After all, Eunuch Gao was a temple man. He couldn't beat his son by standing there. He leaned on a stick and said fiercely, "Get out of here! When our family's Liang Fang and Wei Xing are pushed out, you can still take it. What's going on outside!"

Of course Gao Su couldn't leave at this time, not only that he couldn't leave, he had to come back with a stick to coax his father: "This little flower dew, what is eyeliner ointment, isn't Cui Gongzi relative to our family? His family Don't you give all the good things to your son first? They can grab it once or twice, and we will have countless times in the future to honor the emperor and the empress. Besides, no matter how good the things outside this palace are, if you donate them casually, you won't know. How many pairs of eyes are staring at the wrong one, and if the nobles don't like it, we have to complain."

Seeing that his adoptive father didn't like listening to it, he changed his voice and said, "Dad, you are not like husband Liang, after all, you raised a group of godsons to search for good things in the south, and donated them once or twice in a limited way. In the end, you can't compare to others."

Eunuch Gao snorted lightly from his nose.

What's the use of Liang Fang's son, after all, he is an outsider. He is a nephew. Although he can't handle affairs, he can give him his old age and death, and pass on his blood.

Seeing that his anger had eased, Gao Su hurriedly rubbed his shoulders and squeezed his back, and said flatteringly: "We don't have to plan to offer things to those villains, just relying on your son's ability, there is a way to win the emperor. Happy Father!"

If nothing else, he has put a lot of effort into arranging the stage these days. How could there be so many nobles vying to invite him. How can this craftsman not be brilliant if the teaching father uses it in the singing and dancing operas that the emperor appreciates

Even if there is something unexpected, can't you still find Cui Jiansheng? There's nothing he can't do!

Cui Xie is such a meek person who doesn't take credit, and doesn't like to interact with other eunuchs and Jin Yiwei. No one will steal the limelight from the Gao family. Go back and say hello to him, and ask him to give more ideas and help - it's not for nothing to help him. Which minister doesn't want to help the minister? In the future, after he enters the court, is he still afraid that his adoptive father will not support him

Gao Su's hype, coaxing his father to turn his anger into joy, and thinking about how to undertake such a mission, so that his adopted son has a chance to stand out.

Gao Su couldn't stay idle either, so he simply went to Ju'anzhai himself, and greeted the shopkeeper Ji, who was usually in contact with him, and told Cui Xie to make a bottom of his mind and help him at that time.

But he didn't expect that Ju Anzhai didn't see him. There were only a few big guys working hard to promote the newly arrived Nanjing Ink Collection. All buyers were given five graphite pens and a white writing board. In the store, a thin and thin old scholar in his 40s stood with a graphite pen and showed them how to use the graphite pen.

There is also a large piece of drawing paper pasted outside the store, with the surging waves below it, and a knife-handling Guan Gong standing on the water, next to it is written in large two-inch characters: "The Six Talents Criticism Edition Romance of the Three Kingdoms" Volume 15 It is about to be listed, please see the official waiting for "Liu Xuande enters the king of Hanzhong, Guan Yunchang floods the seven armies".

The shop is open very happily, what about the shopkeeper

Seeing how rich he was dressed, and knowing their shopkeeper, the guy said happily, "The shopkeeper has a happy event today, a relative from his hometown came from the west, and someone from his family told him to go back to entertain guests. "

Hey, it's just when he's on business!

Gao Su raised his eyebrows: "What kind of relative came from the west? I heard that he has an accent of Yongping Prefecture, so he must be a native of Northern Zhili."

The guy smiled and said: "This master is really familiar with our shopkeeper. His relatives also lived in Yongping Mansion, and later went to the northwest with the master's family. He has not come back for more than ten years. When he first came to Beijing, he had to make out For a while. If you have anything to do, just tell us, if you can't say anything, don't worry, it's time for the shopkeeper to come back to work after a day or two."

Eunuch Gao's emissary for the rehearsal didn't really follow up, and Gao Su was not in a hurry to rush to the Cui family to ask for advice, so he had to leave first.

The shopkeeper Ji returned to receive not some relatives, but the eldest wife of the old Liu family, Mrs. Qin, and Liu Yunshou, the only son of the third master Liu Xu. They came all the way from Shaanxi Province, but they caught up with Cui Xie in Guozijian, and couldn't ask for leave during the day.

Last month, Liu Zhuang traveled all the way to Yulin. He inquired about the fact that the old thousand households had gone up a notch and took root in the local area, so he brought gifts to the door.

Because Liu Yan was in a high position, and the family was heavily guarded, the sergeant who guarded the door stopped him from entering the door, and told him to pass his name and stab him in first. Liu Zhuangtou took Cui Xie's name thorn and handed it over, and told them that he was sent by Uncle Cui's family, but he didn't want to just say "Cui", and called the old family who came out to see it.

Thanks to his good eyes, he recognized that the old family member was the former housekeeper of the Liu family, and shouted, "Uncle, I am Liu San'er, I am our girl's dowry, and the girl's young master asked me to come to give gifts! Cui! The uncle has been sent to Yunnan, and the family is in charge of our young master!"

The crutches hanging over his head narrowly brushed past his shoulders, and Liu Zhuangtou had to enter the house and meet the old master. He said that Cui Xie was now a superintendent, and his father was out of Yunnan. He was in charge of the house and wanted to It's about getting back together with my grandparents' home.

When the Liu family heard the news, they couldn't believe it. Liu Zhuangtou was busy presenting his letters and paintings, and said excitedly: "Little Young Master is born in our Liu family. He has never seen a girl since he was born, and on that day, with a few words from my mother-in-law, he drew such a life. Like a painting, isn't it that the girl's soul is not far away, and she has been protecting her son, making him remember himself in his heart?"

He said it in a dazzling way, and the old lady looked at her daughter's long-lost appearance on the paper, her eyes turned red, she shook her head and sighed, "If our family hadn't been transferred to Yulin with me, there would be no maiden's family around, and my daughter would also be there. It won't happen..."

Later, the two had a fight, and although they argued, they eventually hurt their feelings. Cui Ju later remarried the daughter of the official family, and refused to let their family in.

Yulin is so far away from Beijing that it is inconvenient for women to travel back and forth, men cannot leave their posts without permission, and servants can't even enter the high gate of Jingguan Qingliu's house. People say that Cui Xie has enough food and clothing at home, and he can study, but he can't say anything else.

Two years ago, his third son was impeached for delaying the fighter plane. Although he wrote a letter to defend himself and redeemed his life, he was demoted to the Sichuan garrison, and he could only wait for his merits before returning. The family was in chaos for a while, and they neglected their grandsons a bit, but they didn't want Cui Xie to grow up, so he came to them.

He thought that Cui Xie grew up in the hands of his stepmother, and he probably didn't know that there was still their Liu family, but he didn't think that he not only didn't forget his family, but also painted a portrait of his mother. .

The Liu family hadn't seen this grandson for more than ten years, and suddenly received his books and gifts, and saw his appearance from the painting, but wanted to see the real person even more.

The Liu family has always been neat in their work, knowing that Cui Xie was thinking of them, they would call someone to see him. Because the three sons of the family and the older grandsons all have military positions, only the youngest son's family has a young grandson who is not a child studying in martial arts, so he asked the eldest daughter-in-law of his parents' family in Yongping to bring him back to his hometown—

One is to see the exogenous students, and the other is to go back to pay homage to the Liu family's ancestral tomb.

Cui Xie sent cotton, leather, and special products from Beijing all the way to eat, and his own paintings, clothes, and makeup products were all carefully prepared. The Liu family could see his intentions, so they naturally prepared excellent gifts in return: wool carpets, leather of various colors, medicinal herbs piled up in hills, and antique jade wares sent by others.

Although the Liu family lived in the border town of Yulin, they were richer than Cui Jing, who lived in the capital. If Cui Xie hadn't been a man and had nowhere to wear them, they would have given away some more jewelry.

Mrs. Qin was familiar with Beizhili herself, and Cuifu in the capital had also called once. She simply kept Liu Zhuang's head to talk to Lao Zhenfu and several masters, and took her nephew to the capital by car.

They didn't ask anyone to notify in advance, and they directly pulled a few carts of goods to the door of Cui's house. , come to see my nephew, don't open the middle door quickly, welcome your relatives to enter!"

The family members of the Cui family don't have the prestige they had when Master Cui was there. Although Cui Liangdong didn't recognize them, he knew that Cui Xie sent someone to give gifts to the foreign family, so he went out to greet them and asked if Liu Zhuangtou was there.

Mrs. Qin said steadily in the car: "Ask someone in your family who is old. When your wife Yuanpei died, I came to your house to salute. There are always people in your family who recognize me!"

If the Cui family does not recognize it, the Liu family definitely recognizes it.

Although the Liu family members were all in Zhuangzi, there was a shopkeeper in the capital. Cui Liangdong asked someone to report to the old lady, and at the same time asked someone to ask for the shopkeeper, and respectfully welcomed Mrs. Qin's family into the house.

Mrs. Song hadn't seen her in-laws for many years, and she had long forgotten the unhappiness of the fight. She only thought about the goodness of the two families when they were in the county in the early years, and the benefits of having a daughter-in-law at home. She hurriedly changed her clothes and entertained guests. Call out to meet someone.

Cui Liangdong deeply remembered the 5,000-word lesson, and did not dare to release the second young master easily. In the face of the old man's orders, he had no choice but to use the means of fighting in his life: "Second son is from the Xu family. Wasn't it all for the Xu family that our family had bad relations with the Liu family? And the eldest son was beaten that day, There is also the second brother who pretended to be sick and incited the master to be angry, if Liu's family knew about this, wouldn't they be even more angry with us?"

The blue veins on the old lady's forehead jumped, holding her forehead and asking, "Did the second brother pretend to be sick?"

Cui Liangdong said with a bitter face: "Although the people who served the second brother and the Xu family personally have all gone to Xu's house, but there are also people who are outside, and those with sharp ears can also hear the second brother? Xu said that the second brother was in a coma and couldn't When he got out of bed, although he didn't go out of the room, he could still hear the sound of his movements in the room."

The old lady was silent, and deep wrinkles appeared at the corners of her mouth. Cui Liangdong said in a low voice, "Young master remembered that the second brother was still young at the time, and they were all named Xu Shi's name. After all, he was his younger brother, so it's hard to investigate this matter..."

Madam Song patted the table abruptly: "Tell him to come out."

Cui Liangdong said in surprise: "Then Mrs. Qin's temper, in case the second brother has a seizure..."

The old lady said: "Then I have to call. When Brother Xie comes back, ask him to meet the guests, and also call Brother Heng to come - kneel down to accompany his elder brother in person! They are all my grandsons, do I protect this ignorant, Wronged and sensible for nothing? Since he has done it, he has to sincerely admit his mistake to his eldest brother, and he will not let anyone know about this matter!"
