Fragrance Returned

Xunxiang glanced at her little brother with relief. This child has a future.

She said, "It's not that we don't interact with each other at all. This will easily attract their attention. It's okay to discuss knowledge occasionally, but don't bring people from the Xun family, Dong family, and Ding family into it. Especially my mother, I have to keep an eye on her." , don’t be taken advantage of...

"There is also Prince Duan. It is not certain whether he behaves as he does in front of others. No matter which prince he is, we will keep our distance and there is no need to occupy a team, unless the emperor gives a hint..."

Prince Consort Xun didn't pay attention to court affairs, but through his daughter's experience, he realized the crux of the problem. King Qi has a special status. If he really has that idea, what kind of bloody storm will he cause. If you are dragged into this by him, you are seeking death...

His face became serious, "I know, Xiangxiang is more perceptive than her father at such a young age. Yibo, you are the one who wants to enter the officialdom. You must learn from your sister, take one step at a time and see the next..."

It's hard to tell Dongyang clearly about this, keep her under guard and don't allow her to have any more contact with any prince.

The daughter of the Xun family has reached the age of golden hair, and there is an endless stream of people coming to ask for her hand in marriage.

Anyone who is of the same age, has the same background, and is a good enough person will almost always hire someone to help them find a match. Those who felt they had face even went to the emperor and queen to ask for help.

The second grandson of Grand Master Zhao, the eldest grandson of Duke Yang, the second son of Lord Guo, the third grandson of Lord Xie, etc.

What does it mean to have a girl in a family? Just look at the current Dongyang Princess Mansion.

This not only made Dongyang overjoyed, but also made the emperor and queen more proud.

Many clan girls are criticized for having bad tempers, and some need marriage to find a suitable husband. As for this granddaughter, she has just reached her golden age and has so many people asking for her hand in marriage...

The emperor refused them all, and asked his chamberlain to give oral instructions to Dongyang and Prince Consort Xun, and he would decide on Xiangxiang's marriage.

Dongyang was disappointed. Prince Consort Xun was so happy that he would not offend anyone by choosing a son-in-law. Although he is not afraid of offending people, it is never good to make too many enemies.

When Xunxiang entered the palace, half jokingly and half seriously, she told the emperor and queen that she had the final say on her husband-in-law, and they could only get married if she agreed.

The emperor actually agreed and even said with a smile, "You are thick-skinned."

The queen doesn't need Xunxiang's instructions, she will listen to her opinion first.

In early August, the autumn breeze brings coolness.

Yuhualang wine is finally on the market.

First, it will be displayed in the most conspicuous place of Sipin Study.

"Is this wine? No way."

"The wine bottle is so delicate and beautiful, it would be a pity to knock the top off when drinking."

"Is there a special bottle opener?"

…

Shopkeeper Tang opened a bottle of wine in front of everyone and said with a smile, "I would like to invite everyone to have a small cup. Today the study is not only filled with the aroma of books and ink, but also the aroma of wine."

When the wine bottle was opened, a mellow aroma of wine immediately filled the air, and the men present drank a glass of wine.

Sounds of praise rang out one after another.

Wash the empty wine bottles, fill them with water, add a few flowers, and place them on the bookshelf for decoration.

Later, the Mid-Autumn Festival gifts given to relatives and friends by Dongyang Princess Mansion, Fengenhou Mansion and Chengyibo Mansion all included two bottles of Yuhualang wine.

This kind of wine not only has a beautiful packaging, is easy to carry and store, and can be used as a vase or ornament after drinking, it also has a mellow and long-lasting aroma, which is comparable to tribute wines such as Qinghua Niang and Liu Tan Chun...

The name is also strange and nice. Yuhualang, there is actually a wine with such a name, which makes people unable to help but have endless reveries.

After further inquiry, I found out that this kind of wine comes from Wangwang Trading Company. A bottle of two kilograms costs eighty taels of silver, and a bottle of one kilogram costs fifty taels of silver.

Even though Yuhualang is much more expensive than tribute wine, people who buy it flock to it.

At the same time, Zhao Jialing of Princess Dongyang's Mansion led Ding Chi, who brought ten bottles of Yuhualang wine, to Prince Qing's Mansion to ask for an audience with Prince Qing.

The wine is good and unique. It was introduced by Dongyang Princess Palace. Ding Chi is Xunxiang's Ding family uncle, and he also gave 10% of his own stock. Prince Qing agreed to facilitate this matter.

Three days later, the Ministry of Internal Affairs approved it and Yuhualang became a tribute wine. Every year, the Ministry of Internal Affairs purchased 100 bottles each of two kilograms and one kilogram.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs didn't buy much of it, but because it became a tribute wine, it became even more popular in the market, and demand exceeded supply. For a long time after that, whenever someone treated someone to Yuhualang, Beier would be honored.

Ding Chi finally became the emperor's merchant and was so excited that he cried.

Ding Zhuang was also excited. This second son, who had been so worried about him, finally made some achievements.

When I went back to see An An at the end of this year, I told her: The eldest son has become a doctor, the second son has become an imperial merchant, and the granddaughter's paintings are worth a thousand dollars...

In mid-to-late August, Ding Lichun and Wang Lei were admitted to Wu Xiucai.

Ding Lichun was already the heir apparent to Bo Zhenyi. He no longer continued the scientific examination and was transferred to the Firearms Battalion as Chief Qian.

Wang Lei took fifth place. He ranked first in the foot shooting and martial arts examinations, and second in the riding and shooting exams. It was only because of his poor performance in strategy and martial arts that he dropped his ranking.

Wang Lei still did not enter the military camp and waited for the martial arts examination the next year.

Dingshan's family was overjoyed. They had known that their future son-in-law was capable, but now they knew that he was more capable than they imagined.

Dingshan felt that his granddaughter was not good enough for him, so he not only increased the dowry by 30%, but also proposed to buy two beautiful girls, and marry his granddaughter to the Wang family to help Gu Chong.

He told Ding Zhen about this first. Ding Zhen's eyes were red, but she still nodded in agreement.

Ding Shan and Ding Zhuang talked about this again while drinking.

Now Ding Zhuang goes to "Baotie" every once in a while and stays at Ding's house in He County for a day or two. When he was in He County, he would be invited to Dingshan's house for lunch and dinner.

After hearing this, Ding Zhuang frowned and said angrily, "If the boy from the Wang family is that kind of person, he should call off the engagement as soon as possible. Grandma is a bitch. She wants to marry her before she even marries her. If she marries him, she will be troubled. Why don't she find someone else? Someone with a lower family background will be kind to girl Zhen for the rest of her life."

Ding Shan was not willing to give up this noble family, and said with a smile, "Second brother misunderstood. It's not that Wang Lei wants to marry him, it's that I was afraid that Girl Zhen would wrong him, so I offered to marry him."

Ding Zhuang's eyes bulged, "You can't do it either. I don't agree. Our Ding family girl can't bear this injustice. I think the Wang family is very good. General Wang and his wife are both generous and righteous people and will not bully Zhen. .

"Don't be afraid if you dare to bully us. The Ding family has grown up now. Zhaozi is the uncle and Xiangxiang is the princess. Girl Zhen has a strong support. There is also Girl Zhen's dowry. You don't need to prepare so much. The Wang family is not short of money. …”

Ding Shan did not dare to disobey Ding Zhuang and agreed hurriedly, "Okay, okay, listen to the elder brother, and the elder brother will drink."

Xunxiang found out about this in early September.

Wang Lei is too outstanding, but Ding Zhenzhen is too humble. I wonder if their married life will be happy in the future.

On the fourth day of September, Mi Hongmian gave birth to a big fat boy.

Adding a new child is a great joy for every family.

But it is of even greater significance to the Dong family. The Dong family, or rather the Han family, finally had a bloodline inheritance.

Xunxiang went to Dong's house on the fifth day of the lunar month. He also agreed to stay there for one day and then return home after finishing the "Three Wedding Banquets" the next day. (End of chapter)
