The Prince's Humen's Wife

Chapter 88
Director Tang said angrily, "It's time to call me Master!"

Dongyue's eyelids trembled, she glanced at the silent fifth girl, and abruptly changed her words, "Yes, Master Tang is right, but I haven't formally performed the ceremony of apprenticeship, so I can't be your teacher. Apprentice, after I have finished serving the girl, I will go to the capital to find Master Tang to pay homage to the patriarch, and then I will change my words openly, and then please don't dislike Master Tang!"

"Hey, let me just say that all the maids in this house are smart, which is very enviable."

Li Chaochao smiled lightly: "Boss Tang praised them too much. If I didn't have their contracts of sale, I would send the people in this house to serve you. That would be their blessing."

"I'm already pleased to receive an apprentice like Dongyue, but I don't dare to rob the girl of the house." Director Tang said to Dongyue: "Your apprentice, I recognize it."

"Thank you... Thank you Master Tang for your love! Please also take Dongyue to convey your gratitude to the son." Dongyue stammered, surprised that Director Tang really wanted to accept herself as an apprentice, and continued with the previous words: "However, it's a coincidence that the carriage of the eldest lady and I left the Lan's house one after the other, and I was the only one who met the robbers. Fortunately, the girl and the eldest lady Wan An, if the eldest son happened to pass by, or the little maid Life is gone!"

At the end, she clasped her hands together and added "Amitabha".

Li Chaochao laughed, "Usually I don't see you believe this, but now that you know how to recite the mantra, you need to give more incense to the elder son, and the grace of saving the elder son's life is not in vain."

Dongyue said yes with trepidation.

At this point, Director Tang just wanted to ask what happened last night on behalf of the son, but the master and servant got mixed up with the jokes, and the words were a bit outrageous no matter what they said. People are uncomfortable, it seems that there is something in the words!
Director Tang took a few sips of tea in embarrassment, and finally interrupted, "Dongyue came to worship under me, so I, as a master, will naturally give her something."

She unwrapped a sachet from her body and handed it to Dongyue, "You put this away, and you can find me when you go to the capital and bring it to Prince Jing's mansion."

Dongyue hesitated and looked at Li Chaochao. The sachet was not expensive, but Tang Zongsi could hang it on his body, so it must not be an ordinary item.

"Since it was given by Director Tang, take it. You just need to remember to respect your master well."

Dongyue went up to the ground with her hands in her hands, Tang Zongsi pressed it on purpose, and said with a smile: "Don't underestimate this sachet, my master used this to test me and asked me to tell what spices are in it. I said four of them, and the master saw that I had spiritual roots, so he accepted me."

"Then Dongyue doesn't dare to break the rules of the master's school. Can you let Dongyue try? If I can't tell, otherwise, even if I worship under the master's school, I will be criticized by others, and Dongyue is not willing to humiliate me. Master's reputation, if I resign from me, others will not be able to say anything."

Director Tang clapped his hands, "Okay, you are ambitious, come and hear."

Dongyue obeyed, holding the sachet under the tip of her nose with both hands, sniffing lightly, and replied: "There are rue, nutmeg... and jujube kernels..."

"And then?" Director Tang was very excited when he saw Dongyue say three things in one breath.

Dongyue scratched the back of her head, "I can't smell the rest."

She glanced cautiously at Director Tang, "Master Tang, Dongyue is incompetent and not qualified to be your apprentice. Please forgive me."

Li Chaochao lowered his eyes halfway, watched Dongyue's reaction carefully, and laughed silently, this girl is naughty again!
Director Tang smiled, "It's already very good, you don't have any foundation at all, it's already very good to be able to smell these things."

Li Chaochao saw that the corners of Dongyue's mouth were drooping, as if her trickery had failed, she wanted to laugh.

"I recognize this apprentice!"

Director Tang turned around and saw the smile on Li Chaochao's face. He thought she was happy for Dongyue. Seeing that the timing was just right, she immediately brought the topic to the most important purpose of today's visit, "Does Fifth Miss know Zhenjiang?" The incense powder empress in the city."

"Slightly heard."

Director Tang picked up the teacup and put it in his hand, slowly rubbing the edge, "This old slave has always wanted to get to know this Xiangfen lady, but has been suffering from no chance, she is too mysterious."

Li Chaochao smiled and said, "That's right, everyone in the full name wants to know who this mysterious Xiangfen Empress is."

Director Tang kept looking at Li Chaochao's expression, but saw that there was nothing wrong with her expression, and said: "Actually, our son's incense way is one of the best in the capital, so we have special respect for the people who concoct the incense powder, so we have a good reputation in Jingzhou." The royal family set up a fragrance powder bureau, and invited me from the palace to be the chief secretary. This time I came to Zhenjiang with him. I wanted to get to know her. Even if I couldn't invite her to the mansion, I could sign a cooperation agreement. Supply large quantities to the government."

Li Chaochao smiled lightly, as if this matter had nothing to do with him, "Whoever is reused by Prince Jing's mansion is a great blessing."

Director Tang tried a few words openly and secretly, but Li Chaochao didn't reveal anything, and she really couldn't see any flaws. She came in and smelled the low-quality incense in the room before, no matter how she thought about it, she felt that she It should have nothing to do with the Xiangfen empress, the son must have guessed wrong.

Before noon, Li Chaochao stayed with Director Tang to come down for dinner, so he called Xia He to the big kitchen to tell her. She apologized, "My cook here was sick a while ago, so I have to ask Director Tang to wait."

Director Tang declined for a while, only saying that there was still work to be done, so he left.

Li Chaochao personally sent her to the gate of the courtyard, and asked Qiushuang to lead her to the second gate. When Dongyue closed the door, Mother He asked first, "Girl, what is Director Tang doing here?"

"He came to test me for their master." Li Chaochao just wanted to laugh, but quickly suppressed his smile, sighed and patted his forehead, "Oh no, my little tricks can fool Director Tang, but I overdid it Now, it may not be able to scare her master."

Mother He muttered, "What kind of person must that person be? He must have cultivated himself into a master!"

Li Chaochao was silent for a while, and didn't take it too seriously. She is quite concerned about Tang Zongsi's words. It would be great if she could cooperate with Prince Jing's Mansion, but she didn't know if this was a trick the other party deliberately set for her. Woolen cloth?

Sure enough, the so-called deliberation is just adding troubles to yourself. The more you think, the more complicated it becomes. It's better to simplify this matter. At least she got Dongyue's contract of selling herself. This is the beginning. Everyone in this room sells their bodies. Deed, she will hold it firmly in her hand.

When Mama He went out to arrange lunch, Li Chaochao remembered something again and asked Dongyue, "You really only smell three of the spices?"
