"I see, but the good reputation of my third daughter has been damaged. I hope that the third prince will keep his mouth shut in the future. I would like to express my gratitude." The Marquis of Peiping knelt down again and kowtowed to him heavily.

The third prince thought to himself that it turned out that the Marquis of Peking was worried about his daughter's reputation and said: "I won't talk too much."

The Marquis of Peiping was relieved and handed the generous gift from the butler to the third prince.

"This is the thank you gift I prepared for the third prince. I hope the third prince will accept it!"

The third prince didn't want to accept any gifts, lest someone know about it and attack him, so he said: "No need, what happened yesterday didn't happen, why do I need to thank you for the gift?"

The Peking Marquis was stunned. He didn't expect the third prince's answer to be so high-level. No wonder the eldest daughter said that the third prince was the best.

"I have done something redundant..." The Marquis of Peiping laughed dryly and said, "Third Prince, it is a pity that you are so talented."

The third prince understood the meaning of the words of the Beiping Marquis. It seemed that the Beiping Marquis did not think highly of the prince at all, but treated him differently.

Very intriguing.

"It's a pity. We are all doing things for the people."

"It is a blessing for the people that the third prince has this intention." The Marquis of Peking recalled his previous plan and said tentatively: "Unfortunately, there are constant disputes in the court, and only the third prince values ​​the people. If we work together, we will definitely usher in a prosperous age.

.”

The third prince's eyes were cold and stern, showing no emotion or anger. The Marquis of Peiping sighed inwardly.

"I pray for Yuan Sheng and work with Liao Li to help the world."

The third prince lowered his eyelids and seemed to be talking to himself.

Hou Peiping smiled knowingly, the third prince was indeed a man of talent, much better than the prince.

Peiping Hou asked the housekeeper to exit. Next, he still had some private things to say.

Aunt Bai went to the study room of the Marquis Mansion, but the Marquis of Peiping was not there, so she had to wait here.

A long time passed before the Marquis of Peiping came back from the Third Prince.

"Why are you here?" Peking Hou didn't give Aunt Bai a good look. He still remembered what happened back then.

"Master Marquis, I have something important to report." Aunt Bai lowered her eyebrows. Over the years, she also knew that the Marquis of Peiping did not want to see him.

The Peiping Hou looked her up and down. Aunt Bai now looked respectful and looked much better than her pretentious look before.

"Come in." The Marquis of Peiping entered the study on his own and said.

"Master Marquis, please withdraw everyone." Aunt Bai said, it was about her daughter's reputation, and she didn't dare to let others know.

Peiping Hou looked at the housekeeper, nodded lightly, and asked him to step aside.

"If you have anything to do, please tell me."

"Master Hou, do you know what happened yesterday when the third lady fell into the water?"

"I know, so what? Hasn't the doctor already been invited? Do you want me to be at your side?" The Peking Marquis took a sip of tea. He didn't like beating around the bush like this. He was very tired from the Third Prince's place just now.

"Master Hou!" Aunt Bai knelt down with a bang and said aggrievedly: "That's not what I meant, but...it was that the third lady was rescued by a man! This...what should I do?"

"What else do I care about? It has already been arranged. Go back and stay well." The Marquis of Peiping snorted. For a woman, what she can think of can't be thought of by herself?

Aunt Bai was stunned. She realized that what the Peking Marquis had said was already arranged. The depression in her heart dissipated, and she bowed to the Peking Marquis with a full smile.

"I retire."

As Aunt Bai walked on the road, she became even more convinced that the leader of yesterday's matter must be Peiping Hou. She didn't have to worry about everything, it would definitely be done properly.

As for the attitude of the Peking Marquis, at such a young age, she has given up hope for a long time.

Zhang Anchu had been taking good care of herself in her room these past few days, and Mrs. Hou didn't let her go to pay her respects. She really spent a few lazy days.

Even so, Zhang Anchu thought that idleness was nothing but idleness, so he continued to make clothes and embroidered little tigers on them.

On New Year's Eve, Zhang Anchu didn't want to miss the New Year's Eve dinner, and also wanted to be lively and lively, not to mention, there was lucky money!

By the way, I also gave the small clothes I made for my niece to my sister-in-law, and received ten taels of new year's money from her.

Mrs. Hou gave sixteen taels of new year's money, so she had to calculate it and put twenty-six taels of private money into the treasury!

Don't underestimate twenty-six taels. In ordinary people's homes, it is already two years of expenses.

During the New Year, Zhang Anchu didn't want to spend it alone, but wanted to be with Aunt Bai and his brother.

As soon as he entered Aunt Bai's yard, he was pulled into his room by Zhang Hongye and closed the door so that no one could see him.

He took out the lucky money he got today, which was as much as Zhang Anchu, wrapped it in red paper, and handed it to her.

"Brother, what do you mean?" Zhang Anchu didn't understand. Do you want to give her the new year's money?

Zhang Hongze hissed, put the new year's money in her arms, and pulled her to the table.

The table was in a mess, with many sawdust and a box on it.

Zhang Hongze picked up the box and handed it to her, raising his head with expectation.

Zhang Anchu wondered what good things were in the box. He opened the box and saw that it was a peach wood comb with orchids carved on it and a layer of dried orchids underneath. The comb was also stained with the fragrance of orchids.

"How long have you been making this comb?" Zhang Anchu found it unbelievable that such a beautiful comb was even more beautiful than the ones sold in the shop!

It's very delicate, and orchids are Zhang Hongze's favorite, and they are also used on this comb.

Zhang Hongze opened the large wooden box at his feet. It was full of made peachwood combs. Some had broken teeth, some had wrong carvings, and some had less beautiful patterns than this one. It was a full box...

this……

How long will this take?

Zhang Anchu couldn't figure it out, and his nose felt sore, but he still held back the tears.

Her brother, who was usually silent, thought of her so much.

"This is the best gift I have ever received!" Zhang Anchu closed the box and carefully held the comb in his arms as if it were a treasure.

Then she returned the New Year's money that Zhang Hongze had just given her and said, "Sister, I am satisfied with this comb. This New Year's money has the meaning of exorcising evil spirits and bringing peace to you. You should keep it with you."

Zhang Hongze nodded and carefully put away the new year's money.

"Chuchu, Hongze, come out and watch, let's set off the fireworks!" Aunt Bai shouted outside the door, and the sound of the fireworks filled the sky.

"Come on, let's go out and watch the fireworks!" Zhang Anchu was delighted. This is a rare event. The fireworks will disappear soon and he couldn't miss it. He took Zhang Hongze's hand and went out.

The fireworks in the sky bloom like flowers and like meteor showers, with a moment of beauty and a moment of brilliance.

The prince and the third prince could not return to the capital this New Year's Eve, so they had to spend it at the Houfu in Peking.

At the New Year's Eve banquet just now, the male guests and female guests were separated, and the prince did not see the beauty he longed for.

However, there hasn't been any bad news recently, so it should be fine.

If someone dies, there will definitely be a funeral.
