Within a few days, Qiao Lan received news that the price of dried lilies around the capital had skyrocketed, more than dozens of times, and even continued to rise.
Lily is a good medicine, used for cough caused by yin deficiency and dryness, as well as deficiency, restlessness, and palpitations.
All the lilies in the pharmacy were sold out and were expensive, so the doctor could only settle for the next best thing and prescribe other medicines.
Qiao Lan planted two acres of lilies last year and harvested more than a thousand kilograms.
Now is a good opportunity to resell it all at once.
Qiao Lan asked the people below to sell the lilies and continue to worry about this year's spring plowing and visit the farms around the capital. The students in the village continued to study hard.
The people in the Queen’s house are also busy!
Because Duan Mingchen is getting married!
After a winter of recuperation, most of the injuries on Yin Erniang's face were healed. After the beginning of spring, Qiao Lan went to deliver medicine once and also took a few glances.
Maybe it’s because this little girl has a good metabolism at a young age and has a body that’s not prone to scars. Once the scab on her face fell off, the injury was almost healed, leaving only a slight white mark. It wouldn’t look good unless she got it close to her face.
Can't see it.
Even so, Qiao Lan still left some medicine to wipe her future daughter-in-law's face.
Now that Yin Erniang's face has healed, the wedding will naturally have to go ahead.

As the saying goes, a eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. Duan Mingchen has three sisters-in-law, and each of them takes care of some things for him, so he can solve everything properly.
The horoscopes of both parties had already been combined last year, and the betrothal gifts and other things had been prepared long ago. They were all placed in the warehouse and can be used as soon as they are taken out. What is still busy now is the embroidery room, busy embroidering Duan Mingchen's wedding day.
Happy.
Wang and others were in charge of preparing various drinks, dishes, gifts, etc. for the guests at the banquet.
There are many dignitaries in the capital, and Queen Qiao Lan is quite famous. When she heard that Duan Mingchen was getting married, many people sent her gifts, most of them from high-ranking officials.
People sent gifts and posts, saying clearly that they wanted to drink a glass of wedding wine at Duan Mingchen's banquet. This is not like attending a banquet on ordinary days. You can find excuses to refuse. In addition, the nobles have different grades, and the seats and utensils at this banquet are
The arrangements need to be more careful.
Wang and others were so busy that they became bald.

Duan Mingjing feels that as an older brother and the second biological brother, he cannot ignore his younger brother's marriage. How many wives can a person marry in his life?
He must prepare a unique gift for his brother!
So, Duan Mingjing found Duan Mingqing and asked what kind of gift he had given him.
Duan Mingqing: "My third brother likes the articles written by the former Song Dynasty scholar! I prepared a book for my third brother that was personally commented by the Song Dynasty scholar, and I also prepared two mutton-fat white jade pendants for my younger siblings."
"These jade pendants are a pair. I wish them a happy marriage for a hundred years."
Duan Mingqing said and asked the boy beside him to take out the gift.
The gifts have been properly placed in the box and kept safe, waiting to be given to Duan Mingchen in a while.
Duan Mingjing took a look, nodded, and patted Duan Mingqing on the shoulder: "Third brother, your gift is not bad!"
Since Duan Mingqing gave it away, he couldn't give it away!
Duan Mingqing may have sensed his second brother's danger and said, "Second brother can't think of anything to give to fourth brother?"
"Can I help second brother with some advice?"
Duan Mingjing decisively rejected his brother's kindness, "No, I just came over to see what you gave me, and it's fine if I don't give you the same thing!"
Isn't it just a gift? He can think of it.
Duan Mingqing saw this and didn't force it.
Duan Mingjing left Duan Mingqing's yard and walked around in his backyard, thinking about what to give his brother as a wedding gift.
This scholar is not good at calligraphy and painting. Duan Mingqing has already given away books. Doesn't he feel inferior in giving away paintings?
Besides, my younger brother is not a person who likes painting, so it is useless to send him this gift.
As for gold, silver, jade and the like, they are too vulgar to be placed on emotions.
Speaking of other things...
By the way, the fourth brother is so old and doesn’t have a child yet, why not give him some gifts and wish him a baby soon!
Duan Mingjing thought of this, raised his legs and planned to go to the street to look for any suitable gifts.
After turning around the corridor, I saw several female dolls at home. Duan Siyu led Si Qi Si Hua and walked along the corridor holding a bunch of dolls. They were talking and laughing on their faces.
Duan Siyu is over eight years old this year. When she saw Duan Mingjing, she sweetly shouted: "Dad!"
"Second uncle!" the twin girls also shouted.
Duan Mingjing nodded slightly, then saw that they were holding colorful clay dolls and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Dad, this is a gift prepared by our fourth uncle!" Duan Siyu said.
"Second uncle, we went to the street and bought the most beautiful clay dolls, and we are going to find a box to give to our fourth uncle and our future fourth aunt!" Duan Siqi said.
Duan Siqi has grown very tall, already reaching the chest of an adult.
When Duan Mingjing heard that this was a gift to Duan Mingchen, Duan Mingjing didn't pay attention to the following words!
The juniors have already given dolls as gifts, what else can he give?
Even though Duan Mingjing went back and thought about it all day and night, he still couldn't figure out this problem!
In desperation, I took to the street!
I walked around the shops one by one to see what they were selling.
Finally, when Duan Mingjing walked to the bookstore, he paused and an idea flashed in his mind!
The shopkeeper who found the bookstore whispered for a while and asked the shopkeeper to take out a few books from the inside.
After receiving the book, Duan Mingjing opened it and took a few glances. Feeling satisfied, he asked the shopkeeper to pack the book and find a box to put it in. He was not a calligrapher!
When I turned the corner, I saw the foreigner selling horses.
Duan Mingjing felt that the gift in his hand was too light, so he spent a lot of money to bring a horse back.
Duan Mingjing is now in charge of the chicken and duck business around the capital. Even though the farm has only a few years of experience, he still makes a lot of money.
Duan Mingjing has long stopped going out and having fun like he did before. In addition to giving money to his family, he has more money for himself. It is not a problem to spend a little, let alone spend money for his brother.
The horse was brought into the mansion and handed over to the servants of the mansion to serve it.
Duan Mingjing asked the servant to pay attention to the time when Mingchen arrived home, and to report it immediately when he came back.
After learning the news that Duan Mingchen had returned home, Duan Mingjing went over holding the box.
Duan Mingjing got to the point without hesitation and thrust the box into his younger brother's hand, "Fourth brother, this is the wedding gift that second brother prepared for you! Second brother also bought you a horse! It's in the backyard!"
"That horse is said to be a BMW sent from the Western Regions! Second brother, I don't know much about goods, so just use it as you see fit! You have to keep this gift!" After saying this, Duan Mingjing didn't give Duan Mingchen any reaction.
Time just ran away.
Duan Mingchen was left standing there, somewhat puzzled.
How come a gift can go so fast?
Duan Mingchen was puzzled, so he opened the wooden box and saw the book inside.
The outer shell of the book was wrapped in a blue cover, so Duan Mingchen opened it and flipped through two pages.
Then the hand that twisted the pages of the book immediately retracted it.
He asked why the second brother ran so fast!
It turned out that I was giving him a plan to avoid fire!
However, he received all the concern from the second brother.
Duan Mingjing ran to the corner of the garden in one breath, holding on to the wall and breathing lightly.
