Chapter 193 The Strange Guest
The Third Prince, barely suppressing his anger, said, "Quickly, hurry to the capital."
"Yes, Your Highness!" the attendant replied loudly, then turned and went out to fetch the carriage to continue their journey.
The Third Prince's trip to the capital lasted another month.
In Cheng'an County, Du Wanchun finally brought the child to the incense shop.
After being cooped up at home for over a month, business at the shop improved significantly as soon as I came out.
Du Wanchun sat in the shop holding Xiao Mianmian, and every customer who came to buy spices would come over to play with Xiao Mianmian.
Little Mianmian has chubby, pink cheeks that everyone who has seen her can't help but want to pinch.
When Madam Xu, the owner of the teahouse next door, heard that Du Wanchun had arrived with her child, she immediately closed her shop to come and see the baby, even stopping her business to do so.
"This little baby is so cute." Madam Xu strode over and looked at the child in Du Wanchun's arms.
Du Wanchun pulled back the swaddling cloth covering the baby, revealing the infant's face, and laughed, "She looks just like her father."
Madam Xu carefully took the item from her hands, held it in her arms, and smiled from ear to ear. "I think she looks just like you. Look at those dimples, they're exactly like yours."
As he spoke, he looked up at the dimples on Xiao Mianmian's lips.
Du Wanchun slowly walked to the table and poured her a cup of tea. "Except for her dimples, she looks just like her father."
Madam Xu looked at it more carefully, and after a long while, she smiled and said, "It's still too small, we can't tell yet. Let's take a look when it's a little bigger."
Du Wanchun nodded.
Holding her child, Madam Xu looked around and asked, "Wanchun, didn't you also give birth to two boys? Where are the other two boys?"
Du Wanchun looked towards Changliu Village. "My mother was afraid that it would be too tiring for me to take care of them alone, so she and Granny Zhuang stayed at home to take care of them."
While coaxing the child in her arms, Madam Xu smiled and said, "I'll go to your house to see those two boys in a couple of days."
Du Wanchun nodded, "If you don't find them annoying, I'll bring them over next time."
Madam Xu smiled broadly and said, "Of course I don't find them annoying. The more children, the better."
No sooner had she finished speaking than a guest arrived at the door.
Zhang Qiuhe welcomed her through the door.
Du Wanchun looked closely and saw a woman dressed in gorgeous clothes. She was pretty with deep-set eyes and looked somewhat different from the women in Cheng'an County.
Du Wanchun asked her, "Young lady, what would you like to buy?"
The woman looked around, a pure smile on her face. "I smelled something nice here, but I didn't know what it was, so I came in to take a look."
Du Wanchun took a fragrant pill, lit it in the incense burner, and slowly handed it to her. "Is this the scent?"
The woman was delighted and pointed to the incense burner, saying, "That's right, this is it, it smells so good!"
Du Wanchun smiled and said, "These are jasmine-scented pills from our shop. You can buy some if you like."
The woman examined the incense burner in her hand closely and asked in confusion, "What is this thing?"
Du Wanchun was slightly puzzled. In Xuan Yue Kingdom, there should be no one who didn't recognize the incense burner, unless she wasn't a native of the country.
She placed the incense burner on the table and patiently explained to her, "This is called an incense burner. You put incense balls or incense towers inside and light them, and the fragrance will fill the air."
The woman found it very strange, picked up the incense burner and smelled it. "Shopkeeper, how much is this incense ball and incense burner together?"
Du Wanchun pondered for a moment and replied, "We don't sell these incense burners, but I can give them to you if you want them."
The woman was overjoyed, "Really?"
Du Wanchun nodded. "Really."
The woman quickly replied, "Alright, I'll just buy a box of incense balls, and you can give me this incense burner."
Du Wanchun took out her abacus and counted the amounts, saying, "It's ten taels of silver in total."
Du Wanchun took the silver and handed her the incense burner and incense balls.
The woman held the incense burner and incense balls in her hands, admiring them and smelling them again and again.
Just then, a young maidservant rushed over, "Miss, Miss! What are you doing here?"
