The self-disciplined princess wins

Chapter 36 Mahogany Comb
"So that's the case, but the reputation of my third daughter is damaged, and I hope that the third prince will keep his mouth shut in the future. I thank you here." Bei Pinghou knelt down again, and kowtowed heavily to him.

The third prince thought to himself, it turned out that Hou Beiping was worried about his daughter Qing Yu, and said, "I won't talk too much."

Only then was Beiping Hou relieved, and handed the housekeeper a generous gift to the Third Prince.

"This is a thank you gift prepared by the minister to the third prince, and I hope the third prince will accept it!"

The third prince didn't want to accept any gifts, lest someone who cared about him find out and attack him, he said: "No need, what happened yesterday didn't happen, why should I thank you?"

Beiping Hou was stunned, he did not expect the third prince's answer to be so good, no wonder the eldest daughter said that the third prince is the best.

"It's a waste of time..." Hou Beiping laughed dryly and said, "Third Prince, it's a pity that you are so talented."

The third prince heard the meaning of Hou Beiping's words. It seemed that Hou Beiping didn't think highly of the prince at all, but treated him differently.

Very intriguing.

"It's a pity, it's all for the people."

"The third prince has this heart, and it is the blessing of the common people." Remembering the previous plan, Bei Pinghou said tentatively: "Unfortunately, there are constant disputes in the court, and only the third prince values ​​the common people. If we work together, we will surely usher in a prosperous age." .”

The third prince's eyes were stern, and he couldn't see any joy or anger. Hou Beiping sighed secretly in his heart.

"Yuqiu Yuansage, and Liao Li are of one mind with him, so as to reach the world."

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

Hou Beiping smiled knowingly, the third prince is indeed a man to be made, much better than that prince.

Beiping asked the housekeeper to leave, and then there are some private things to say.

Aunt Bai went to the study in the Hou's mansion, but Beiping Hou was not there, so she had to wait here.

A long time passed, and Hou Beiping came back from the Third Prince.

"Why are you here?" Hou Beiping didn't give Aunt Bai any good looks. He still remembered what happened back then.

"Master Hou, this concubine has something important to report." Aunt Bai lowered her eyebrows and was pleasing to the eye. Over the years, she also knew that Beiping was waiting to see him.

Hou Beiping looked her up and down, the current Aunt Bai was respectful, and she looked much better than the pretentious one before.

"Come in." Hou Beiping entered the study on his own and said.

"Master Hou, please screen everyone away." Aunt Bai said, her daughter's reputation was at stake, and she dared not let others know.

Bei Pinghou looked at the butler, nodded his head lightly, and told him to back down.

"What's the matter, tell me quickly."

"Master Hou, do you know about the incident of Miss San falling into the water yesterday?"

"I know, so what? Didn't the doctor already invite you? Do you want me to wait on you?" Beiping Hou took a sip of tea, and he didn't like such beating around the bush the most. He was exhausted at the Third Prince's place just now.

"Master Hou!" Aunt Bai knelt down and said aggrievedly: "I don't mean that, but... but the third lady was rescued by a man! This... what should I do?"

"What else is this Marquis doing? It's already been arranged, so go back and take care of yourself." Beiping Hou snorted, a woman, what she can think of, I can't think of.

Aunt Bai was stunned, realizing that what Beiping Hou said was already arranged, the depression in her heart dissipated, and with a smile, she saluted Beiping Hou.

"The concubine retire."

As Aunt Bai walked on the road, she became even more convinced that the leader of yesterday's matter must be the Marquis of Beiping, so she doesn't have to worry about everything, as it will be handled properly.

As for Hou Beiping's attitude, she has given up hope for such a long time ago.

Zhang Anchu took good care of himself in the room these few days, Madam Hou didn't let her go to pay her respects, so it was really lazy for a few days.

Even so, Zhang Anchu thought that being idle was idle, so he continued to make clothes, embroidered with little tigers on them.

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

By the way, I also gave the small clothes made for my niece to my sister-in-law, and got my sister-in-law's lucky money of twelve taels.

Mrs. Hou gave 16 taels of New Year's money, and it had to be counted, and the private house money was put into the treasury for 26 taels!
Don't underestimate 26 taels. In ordinary people's homes, it has already cost two years.

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

As soon as he entered Aunt Bai's yard, Zhang Hongye dragged him into his room 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, did he want to give her the New Year's money?
Zhang Hongze hissed, put the New Year's money in her arms, and dragged her to the table.

There was a mess on the table, and there were many sawdust, and there was a box on it.

Zhang Hongze picked up the box, handed it to her, raised his head, eyes full of anticipation.

Zhang Anchu wondered what good things were in the box, opened the box, and saw that it was a mahogany comb with orchids engraved on it, and a layer of dried orchids on the bottom, and the comb was still stained with the fragrance of orchids.

"How long have you been making this comb?" Zhang Anchu couldn't believe it. Such a beautiful comb is even more beautiful than the ones sold in shops!
It is very delicate, and orchids are also what Zhang Hongze is best at, and they are also used on this comb.

Zhang Hongze opened the big wooden box at his feet, and it was full of expensive mahogany combs, some with broken teeth, some with wrong carvings, and some with less beautiful lines than this one. The box was full...

This……

How long will this take?
Zhang Anchu couldn't figure it out, and his nose was sore, but he still held back his tears.

Her younger brother, who was silent on weekdays, thought of her so much.

"This is the best gift I've ever received!" Zhang Anchu closed the box like a treasure, and carefully hugged the comb in his arms.

He also returned the lucky money that Zhang Hongze gave her just now, and said, "My sister is satisfied with this comb. This lucky money has the meaning of warding off evil spirits and protecting safety. You should keep it with you."

Zhang Hongze nodded, and carefully put away the lucky money.

"Chuchu, Hongze, come out and watch the fireworks!" Aunt Bai shouted outside the door, and the sound of setting off fireworks resounded through the sky.

"Let's go, let's go out to watch the fireworks!" Zhang Anchu was delighted, this is very rare, the fireworks will disappear after a while, so we can't miss it, so he took Zhang Hongze's hand and went out.

The fireworks in the sky bloom like flowers, and like meteor showers, beautiful for a moment, brilliance for a moment.

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

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

However, there has been no bad news recently, so it should be fine.

If someone dies, it must be a funeral.
