Fragrance Returned

The patronage card is very beautiful, made of thin bamboo sheets, green, with a solid color on one side and golden auspicious clouds painted around it on the other side, with two large seal characters in the middle, patronage.

People here at "Members" don't understand. And patronage means preferential treatment, favor, and respect. People here understand it as soon as they hear it.

Moreover, some people may not like it when you give them this kind of card, and they may think that you look down on them because they have no money.

Xunxiang had her own purpose in sending Gao Shanzhu the patronage card, and Shen Ying was just taking advantage of it.

The patronage card offers a 20% discount. You can only make purchases by yourself or with others. You cannot lend or let others buy on your behalf.

Xun Xiang also gave Ding Lichun, Ding Liren, Xun Yibo, Dong Ping, Mi Hongmian, Tao Jing, Xue Tian, ​​Ding Zhen, and the Xun brothers each a member card.

She also made it clear that Grandpa Ding Zhuang, Ding Zhao and his wife, Dong Yihe and his wife, Xun Consort and Dongyang did not have to spend money, and the account would be kept on her head.

Except for Mi Hongmian and the three little girls, little cousin Xun Yiqiang, brother Xiao Qian, and Shen Yan, no one else was too embarrassed to pick up. And stated that they have money and do not need to discount.

Xun Xiang still said hello to Tang Jun, and those people came to get a 20% discount.

I heard that Xunxiang opened the shop with great fanfare, and even gave them patronage cards and said, "Welcome to visit." Li Fei and others were very surprised, but Li Fei managed her expression slightly better.

Gao Shanzhu said, "Just open a shop and let the servants do it. How can cousin Xiangxiang do it herself? She will lose her status..."

Do you think she has no money when you give her a patronage card?

Li Fei interrupted her gently, "Mingshan. Princess Xiangxiang gave you the patronage card out of kindness."

Gao Shanzhu shut up unhappily.

Xunxiang smiled carelessly.

"The imperial grandfather also knew that I was opening a study and was very interested in it. It's a pity that I can't go in person. You might as well come and take a look. There must be something that interests you.

"I know you are not short of money. I gave you the patronage card because I was afraid that you would spend too much there. I am embarrassed. Also, it makes our relationship unique."

Xunxiang's last words made the two little girls happy.

Shen Ying didn't believe it. It didn't matter where she bought the books. How could she keep buying them in her study? She was worried that they would spend too much.

But he didn't show it on his face and said with a smile, "Will it really cost us so much money? I must go and see what kind of books they are."

Xunxiang also wants to give Gao Mingzhu a card, but she is not familiar with her, so she will find an opportunity to give it to her in the future.

Before dinner, the emperor came to Kunning Palace again.

Now the emperor has a habit of coming to Kunning Palace for dinner every three days.

It was my previous practice to come to Kunning Palace once a month to see the Queen, or if I felt really depressed, I would come here for some quiet time and talk to the Queen about what happened when I was young.

Now that Xiangxiang is here, he comes to Kunning Palace at least three to four times a month.

His little granddaughter's words always spoke to his heart, making him happy and sometimes giving him unexpected surprises.

Xunxiang gave another patronage card to the emperor and the queen, "Xiangxiang knew that the emperor's grandfather and the emperor's grandmother would not need it, so she kept it for fun."

Also talked about the role of Gu Huika.

The emperor and queen were very interested in hearing about these market and business affairs.

The emperor smiled and said, "If any minister pleases me, can I reward him with Gu Huika?"

Xunxiang was very happy, and said generously, "I will give you as much incense as you want, even if the emperor's grandfather rewards me."

The queen doesn't want to reward people. I keep my granddaughter's things in my hands for thought.

Xunxiang also promised them that there would be a surprise on the eighteenth day.

The Queen smiled and asked, "Surprise, are you giving us books?"

Xunxiang pulled her sleeve and said coquettishly, "I told you it was a surprise, so I'll keep it a secret for now."

Not long after returning to the princess mansion the next day, Ding Zhen came to visit unexpectedly.

Ding Zhen came uninvited, and Xunxiang intuitively felt that something was wrong with her.

Ding Zhen was dressed very festively, with rose red brocade sprinkled with flowers, and a hanging bun with lotus and jade hairpins. She also put on light makeup, and Xiao Nizi looked more dewy.

Xun Xiang welcomed her out of Xikuoyuan and took her to the main hall to kowtow to Princess Dongyang.

It was the first time for Ding Zhen to see the princess, and she was excited and scared at the same time.

Xunxiang whispered, "Don't be afraid, she is very kind."

Dongyang is still very good at saving face.

Dongyang's attitude was indeed very good. He smiled and praised, "What a lovely little lady. I heard from Xiangxiang that you and she have been playing together since childhood, and you are her best friend..."

He asked a few questions about Xun Xiang and her childhood, and then rewarded her with six palace flowers and four Xiang fans. "Go and play. Let's have dinner here at noon."

Ding Zhen went out, patted her chest and said, "The princess is so kind and beautiful, Xiangxiang is blessed."

The two entered the West Cross Courtyard, and Ding Zhen's face fell only after the servants stepped back.

He whispered, "I don't know how the third uncle knew that Brother Pan was in the capital and had 'made a fortune'. He came to He County three days ago. He went to Baotie first. The second uncle was not here. People there heard He was said to be a relative of Beiquan Village, so he was sent to my home..."

Xun Xiang was surprised, "Ding Youshou is here? Grandpa ran away before Qiqi?"

Ding Zhuang, Ding Shan, Ding Erfu, and Ding Sifu would never tell anyone about Ding Pandi. Several servants who followed him also told them. How could Ding Youshou know?

Ding Zhen's face turned red with anger, "That's right. He said he couldn't afford to eat anymore and wanted to live with his daughter-in-law. It didn't matter if he didn't want to let him live there. He had to give him five hundred taels of silver.

"My father was so angry that he cursed and said that he ran away during the period of mourning and was worse than a pig or a dog. He also said that he had not cared about his younger brother and sister since he was a child, so why should he let her support him... When he wanted to drive the third uncle out, he would sit in the yard and yell Crying and asking where my brother and sister Pan live..."

More and more people were watching the excitement. Ding Qin didn't want Ding Youshou to cause trouble at home, so he had to take him to an inn.

Ding Qin said that Ding Pandi hated all the Ding family members. The Ding family members did not know where she lived and did not interact with her. All I know is that she helped Fengenhou Mansion handle something, and Fengen Mansion bought her a yard and sent someone to protect her...

Ding Youshou didn't believe it and said he wouldn't leave until he saw Ding Pandi. He would wait until Ding Erfu and Ding Sifu came back to question them.

Ding Qin was in poor health, and both Xie and Zhao were women. After he settled Ding Youshou, he quickly sent people to the capital to find Ding Zhao.

Ding Zhao thought about it, after all, they were father and daughter, and he couldn't make decisions on some things, so he went to Kaixian in person to ask Ding Pandi what he wanted.

Ding Pandi didn't know what was going on, so he invited Ding Zhao into the house.

When she heard about this, her face darkened, and her heart that had just softened hardened again.

She said coldly, "I have no parents. I jumped out of the cracks of rocks. I was soaked in bitter water and my heart has turned into stone. I don't recognize anyone in that family except for two people."

"My current surname is Hao, and I have nothing to do with Ding Youshou. Let him get away as far as he wants. I don't even want to hear this name. Also, except for Sifu and Xiangxiang, no one else from the Ding family will come."
