Chapter 542 Loving Couple Best Comrades
When spring comes, the willow branches will grow and the viburnum will bloom.
The days just rushed into May of the second year of Zhihe.
Fu Jiuqu, the new official, has three things to do when he takes office. He shocks Yangzhou with his ruling style of disowning relatives. He removes corrupt officials, helps wise men to ascend to power, exempts people from rent and tax arrears, and repairs various people's livelihood projects. His appearance is like a ray of spring breeze, which will blow through the city.
The city's outline took on a new look. He never used his status as the Prince of Guangling to overwhelm others, but he won the reputation of being "irreless and selfless".
When the news reached Bianjing, there were praises and criticisms in the court, but a few of the admonishers rarely went to court to criticize. Zhao Zhen's letter also taught earnestly and patiently, but the eldest princess was worried about her son and sent a letter to warn her.
His "big tree attracts wind, and his high reputation attracts slander." Don't offend others too much.
Fu Jiuqu is still the same as before, doing his own thing.
He goes out early and comes back late every day, fulfills his duties, and is diligent in political affairs. Xin Yi looks at the changes in him, and sometimes he doesn't dare to recognize them...
If it weren't for the fact that he was still purchasing more biological equipment in his laboratory from time to time, she would have suspected that this man fell in love with the life of an official and forgot his original intention...
In short, he gradually adapted to the role of the Guangling County Prince. Whether he was playing it intentionally or deliberately, he became more and more like the Guangling County Prince himself, so similar that Xin Yi often had the illusion that it was Brother Jiu who had returned.
Fortunately, there was that piece of paper deed.
His attitude towards Xin Yi remained on a "scale".
Caring, considerate, no more, no less, just right.
They are a loving couple in the eyes of outsiders and the best comrades in each other's eyes.
In order to respect the spirit of the contract, Xin Yi never interfered in his life during these days, except occasionally asking about the progress of the case, and nothing else.
Of course, Xin Yi is also very busy.
Everyone has his own life, and he also has his role.
Ninety-One Pharmacy requires a lot of energy, and as her children get older and older, she can't spare much time to pay attention to things that have nothing to do with her...
As if in the blink of an eye, it was already the Dragon Boat Festival in the second year of Zhihe.
As in previous years, the Xinyi Pharmacy in Bianjing has prepared "ancient French soup dumplings" early and will go on sale on the fourth day of May, with limited purchases.
After several years of accumulation, the cosmeceuticals and orchid soup dumplings have become the signatures of Bianjing. Every year, people reserve half of them in advance...
But it was the first year that Jiuyi Pharmacy sold orchid soup dumplings, so they encountered a little trouble.
Xinyi cooked it in the same way and put it in the hands of good people. It used the same formula and ingredients and the same marketing methods. It was originally intended to have a good start. Unexpectedly, the notice was posted for several days, and everything that should be publicized was publicized. By the fourth day of May, not only was it not as good as Bianjing
With such a grand scene of queuing up to buy, after most of the day, only less than 200 packs were sold here and there...
My beloved is a little flustered.
"What should I do? Don't people in Yangzhou use orchid soup dumplings?"
It is a custom to make Mulan Soup during the Dragon Boat Festival, but people often buy herbal medicines for bathing at home, and not everyone spends high prices to buy similar medicinal materials from pharmacies...
My beloved was afraid that he wouldn't be able to sell it, so he would throw it away tomorrow, but Xin Yi comforted him with kind words.
"Don't worry, if we can't sell it, we will donate it."
Dear man: “To whom?”
Xin Yi smiled and said, "Yamen of the state government, camp in Yangzhou."
The beloved man raised his head and glanced at her, "Sister and the prince are really loving. They always think about each other, which makes us envious."
Xin Yi lowered his eyebrows and turned over and over the bills on the case, as if he hadn't heard anything, until his beloved sighed quietly.
"I don't know when it will be until we can go back to Bianjing..."
Xin Yi paused with his fingers, "Want to go back?"
My beloved turned around and denied continuously, "No, no, I will be wherever my sister is... Although I miss my parents a little, I will be forced to get married when I go back, so I am still at ease in Yangzhou."
Xin Yi looked at her profile and remained silent.
"Do you blame me for asking you to come to Yangzhou in the first place?"
My beloved was startled and looked at her nervously, "Sister, did I say something wrong? Don't get me wrong. It's because Deng Lang and I have no fate. I'm not blaming my sister..."
Xin Yi looked at her calmly, until her husband's eyes turned red, then she slowly grabbed his hand and held it in her palm.
"You are very good, but he is not blessed, do you understand?"
The beloved man lowered his head, "I understand, I understand everything."
Just a few days ago, Zhang Dalang's wife came to Yangzhou from Bianjing with her two children for a family reunion, and she also brought some news.
The Deng family came to break off the engagement. The divorce letter was written by Deng Xiucai himself. He politely excused himself and said that he was not a good match and was not worthy of the daughter of the Zhang family. He presented the divorce letter and said that they would marry each other in the future. He also wished his beloved well.
.
However, in the correspondence between him and his lover, not a single word mentioned his intention to break off the engagement.
My beloved was the last one to be notified.
On the night when the sister-in-law arrived, she scolded the whole family named Deng, saying that Deng Sheng must be evil and fell in love with a girl from another family. Everyone also scolded Deng Sheng to comfort their beloved.
The good man blames himself...
"It's because I have no talent or appearance and am not worthy of Deng Lang."
This was the only thing she said afterwards.
Xin Yi really wanted to scold her and wake her up, but when people are broken up in love, their brains are muddled. Xin Yi only asked Xiang Ling to come over and accompany her, and by the way, he sent someone to Bianjing City to inquire about it.
The elder sister-in-law was right. Deng Xiucai was in love with the sister of a classmate of the academy. She was an official daughter, well-educated and well-educated. The Deng family's parents were happy to see it happen, but they were taboo with the Zhang family, so they didn't make any big announcement about it.
Xin Yi guessed that when her husband said that Deng Xiucai's letters were becoming more and more sparse, it was a sign of bad faith, but this silly girl wanted to blame the man's troubles on her own shortcomings.
"Look forward. There are not many other things in this world, but there are many men who can read..."
Seeing her husband's silence, Xin Yi put the account book in the drawer and held her arm.
"Bring me the curtain hat and go out with me to see..."
Whenever she came to the drug store, she would cover her face with a curtain. Therefore, no one knew that the owner of the Ninety-One Drug Store was Mrs. Zhizhou.
This is probably the reason why the orchid soup dumplings from Jiuyi Pharmacy are not as popular as Xinyi Pharmacy...
At that time, with the support of the Prince of Guangling, she was high-profile enough in Bianjing City, well-known, and full of scandals. Who wouldn't want to come and see the beauty of the Prince of Guangling's wife?
Xin Yi smiled bitterly.
Looking back on it again, it feels like a world has changed.
And the Ninth Brother in my heart has also formed scars.
She put on her curtain hat and walked out slowly, but He Wulang came in in a hurry.
This honest man's face has become much brighter since he was not involved in a murder case. When he saw Xin Yi, he quickly stepped back and bowed deeply.
"Madam, a military commander came to purchase orchid soup dumplings, and he asked for five hundred and eighty. I calculated our inventory and finally breathed a sigh of relief..."
Xin Yi and his beloved looked at each other and quickened their pace.
The military man who bought the orchid soup dumplings and his two followers were welcomed into the lobby by Madam Fang and were sitting on one side drinking tea.
Xin Yi recognized it at a glance. It was Shen Guangdong, the military director of the Yangzhou camp.
Shen Guangdong looked up at her, grinned, didn't say much, and didn't say hello, as if he didn't know her at all.
Xin Yi bowed quietly in return, silently walked past him, and told her husband to prepare all the orchid soup bags and send someone to send a car to the camp, and at the same time, he got a 20% discount on the price...
When he returned home in the evening, Xin Yi smelled the smell of mugwort in the air and silently went to the kitchen.
Xiang Ling was making condiments while the two cooks were making rice dumplings. When they suddenly saw her appear, everyone was startled.
"The princess of the county..."
Xin Yi smiled and motioned to Xiang Ling to prepare a soft chair for him.
"I'm here to make rice dumplings."
The people in the kitchen were frightened.
The princess actually ran to the kitchen to make rice dumplings while still pregnant. Wasn't this a disgrace to them?
Is it possible that they are to blame for their incompetence?
Several people looked at her with their own thoughts.
Xin Yi said nothing, smiled, carefully wrapped the corners of the rice dumplings with five-color silk thread, sat quietly for half an hour, and collected the rice dumplings he had made in a rosewood food box. Leave satisfied.
Xiang Ling caught up and said, "Sister, are these prepared for the prince?"
Xin Yi did not deny it, smiled and asked, "How is it with you and Cheng Cang?"
Xiang Ling hiccuped and looked at her angrily, "I won't tell you anymore. I'll go and make something delicious for you."
Xiang Ling and Cheng Cang are very good friends. Xin Yi lets her take care of the house and doesn't have to do heavy work. However, she still likes to do Xin Yi's meals herself and doesn't trust others to do it.
And Xinyi...
I didn't make rice dumplings on a whim, but wanted to thank Fu Jiuqu.
These days, Fu Jiuqu silently takes care of her a lot. It is not uncommon for Shen Guangdong to come to buy orchid soup dumplings like today.
Just because he did it but didn't say it doesn't mean that Xin Yi didn't know about it.
Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, and we are both lonely in a foreign land. She is melancholy because she is waiting for someone who has never returned. How can he not be miserable because of the long journey?
