Chapter 27: Piercing and Chiseling

"The prince's words are also fallacious, don't you hear Xun Ziyun's 'its ceremonial rhythm is also, the mausoleum is carefully observed, and it is the glory of the country'. This old man of Rongguo is an old man in the world of Shengping. ”

A celebrity next to him smiled. is both a celebrity and a man, and he is crazy, almost openly accusing Prince Zhongshun of talking nonsense. However, celebrities quoted Xun Qing's words, and there are words to praise the merits of today's waist, but Prince Zhongshun can't do it.

"If so, what is the meaning of the things contained in this book?"

Prince Zhongshun frowned slightly, he was just joking, he was blamed, and his face was a little unbearable, but fortunately, the prince's dignity and self-cultivation are still there.

The celebrity smiled: "Everything in the world is old, ancient and modern." With the virtue of the king, why bother to be far-fetched because of coincidental assumptions, and incur the suspicion of false slander. ”

Everyone persuaded: "The king's words are too much. ”

The scholar said: "If there are good things and ignorant people, there are many novels in the world, why doesn't the prince take others, but only say that the Rongguo Mansion is pardoning, and everyone is also cloudy, spreading rumors, innocent people, who are involved in this, whose fault is it?" ”

Prince Zhongshun was speechless for a while, speechless.

Just as the play ordered on the stage was about to end, Qi Guan was wearing a red shirt and came up to ask for a play, and Prince Fang of Zhongshun hugged Qi Guan and laughed straight.

Speaking of the words of Prince Zhongshun, although some celebrities dismissed it as ridiculous, it was a stone that stirred up a thousand waves.

But anyone who has never heard of the name also knows that there is such a book, and it is said that the prince of Zhongshun read it and laughed, and this is a family affair of a certain powerful house.

After reading the book, because the prosperity has been similar since ancient times, the layman who has good things will inevitably feel that the Prince Zhongshun has seen it, and he does not dare to agree, so he adheres to the mentality that the Prince Zhongshun will get it, and I will also get it.

For a while, there were clouds, and the books were written as the high-ranking families of the former dynasty, and there were also clouds for other princely mansions in Beijing, and there were also according to the dialects in the book, and there were clouds written in the book as local wealthies.

Some people even said that this book is about the old story of Prince Yizhong, because it involves the secret history of the internal court, and Prince Zhongshun's words are deliberately covered.

There are a bunch of attachments, and as for who the author is, it is even more said, some say that it is an exiled eunuch, some say that it is a high-ranking official in Beijing, some say that it is the founding magnate, some say that it is an old monk in the mountain temple, some say it is a poor old Confucian, some say it is a talented man in Shudi, and even say that it is a eunuch in the palace.

Seething, discrepancies, and so on.

When Jia Cong knew, he covered his face with his hands, was silent for a while, looked at the sky with a wry smile, and was full of emotion, and finally had only two sentences.

One is, "Thinking too much!"

The other is, "Just be happy!"

Jia Cong didn't care too much about this disturbance of public opinion, because Prince Zhongshun was originally a reckless person, and he once heard people laugh that a certain drama was compiled by a talented man in Beijing, so he robbed the talented man to enter the house to make a play, but the talented man bluntly told him that the poems and essays were used to writing, and the drama was not really good at it.

Although Prince Zhongshun knew that he had robbed the wrong person, he used the outrageous reason that the poetry and writing were brilliant, and the drama must not be bad, and he forcibly detained the talented man.

There is also Prince Zhongshun who entertained the envoys of a certain country for Jinshang, but on the grounds that he was tall and did not look similar, he denounced him as a countryman and impersonated him, which made the world fall for it, and he laughed and talked about it to this day.

But now he didn't care, but said that Prince Zhongshun was innocent, and what he said and did was not malicious, and he also rewarded Prince Zhongshun with a lot of treasures to appease.

This matter, no one in the capital is not surprised, saying that the loss of Prince Zhongshun and Jinshang are not compatriots, if it is Jinshang's younger brother, I don't know how much I want to treat Prince Zhongshun well.

On the contrary, it was the Emperor Taishang, on the grounds that the major events of the court were child's play, and scolded Jinshang and Prince Zhongshun, but after only two sentences, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager broke the siege.

Rao is the respect of the emperor, and in the face of the tearful siege of the old lady, wife and concubine, he can only die down, either for nothing, or for nothing.

Therefore, in Jia Cong's opinion, such an absurd person's remarks will not be taken seriously by anyone with brains.

But no matter how many ridiculous things Prince Zhongshun has done, no matter how many ridiculous remarks he has said, he is also a serious prince, and when he sees the word prince, there are always people who would rather believe it.

As a result, because of the words of Prince Zhongshun, the book was unknown to everyone for a while, and the suspicion and concealment in it were also widely circulated.

Even in the barbarian land on the edge, I have heard of it, of course, the more it spreads, the more outrageous it becomes, in the barbarian land, this book has been rumored to be done by the emperor and the prince, and the story in the book is also considered to be a real thing in the court.

But the strange thing is that Rong Guofu has never heard of such a complicated public opinion, Mrs. Jia Muxing and the girls rarely go out to socialize, and the women in the house have never heard of it.

However, Prince Zhongshun named and named Jia Yu and Rongguofu, and no relatives and friends came to the door to complain.

Jia Yu is an otaku who only knows how to lie high, and the ancient version of squatting at home can't hear this, but Jia Zheng always wants to go to court, and he has a bunch of Qingke by his side, and he can't hear a trace of wind.

Maybe Jia Zheng is a square person, and the Qing guests are afraid that after Jia Zheng learns about it, they will be unhappy and dare not talk nonsense.

Jia Zhen of the Kening Mansion is not a square person, and he often interacts with the light and thin children in Beijing, it is impossible for others not to talk about this kind of joke, but Jia Zhen didn't know about it.

Jia Cong thought about it, but he couldn't help but think about it, Rongning Erfu was not because of the relationship between the gods and the tribulations, so it had some kind of enchantment.

But Jia Cong thought about it again, the matter of Yuanchun's concubine, obviously the eunuch's smiling decree, because the matter of sealing the concubine had been decided, but the people in Jiafu didn't know what the sign was, and they were panicked in their hearts.

There are also Leng Zixing's words, and the two mansions of Rongning are also sparse, but the shelves have not fallen, not compared to the previous time, it can be seen that the decline of the two mansions of Rongning has become early, so whether it is hindered or unhindered, they have alienated the second mansion of Rongning, and it is inevitable that the news will lag behind.

Moreover, the masters of the Rongning Second Mansion were all anxious about Qin Keqing's illness, and they didn't care about the idle affairs outside, so it was not surprising that they didn't know about it for a while.

It is almost the wax moon, the sky is cold, the leaves are all off, and everything is depressed.

The wind whined, Sun Dashi rubbed his hands, sighed at his hands, picked up the hammer, and smashed the hammer on the wall, and the dust and moss fluttered down.

"Brother Dashi, haven't you eaten?"

The person next to him laughed loudly.

"Get out. Sun Dashi scolded, took a step back, picked up the hammer and smashed it again, and several broken bricks fell. was about to be smashed again, but he heard humanely, "Steward Zhao is here." ”

Looking up, I saw Zhao Guoji leading someone to push a small cart over.

"Don't be busy yet, drink a hot soup and rest for a while. ”

Zhao Guoji exuded a bamboo cup very kindly.

The hot milky white soup poured out of the kettle, and a strong aroma spread.

"It's mutton soup. ”

Someone exclaimed, and the people around couldn't help but suck their saliva.

"It's mutton crucian carp soup. Our lord specially asked someone to prepare, everyone worked hard, our lord looked at it, and he couldn't treat you badly. ”

"The master is benevolent. ”

Sun Dashi took the bamboo cup, and his cousin Sun Sinian lifted the kettle and poured him a cup of soup.

Sun Dashi held the warm soup and took a sip, which was extremely delicious and satisfying.

Looking at his cousin's clothes, Sun Dashi finally couldn't hold back and asked, "Why are you still wearing a jacket?"

Sun Sinian looked at his clothes and replied with a smirk: "Single clothes are colder." ”

Sun Dashi was stunned for a moment, sighed, was silent for a while, and said, "You will go back and put on my cotton robe later." ”

Sun Sinian's face flushed, and he hurriedly excused himself: "I'm not cold, the house is burning charcoal, but it's warm." ”

Saying that, Sun Sinian explained: "When I went home, I ran all the way back, and it wasn't cold at all. ”

Sun Dashi was about to say a word, when he suddenly heard Zhao Guoji call him: "Sun Dashi, come here." ”

Sun Dashi hurriedly walked over with a soup cup and asked with a smile, "Steward Zhao, are you looking for me?"

Zhao Guoji nodded, pointed to the wall that Sun Dashi had demolished just now, and said: "The house here has been bought, and when the wall is demolished and the house is finished, I have to find a few people......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Chen Yu hurriedly come over and said, "Steward Zhao, someone is looking for you outside, saying that the master of the Zhang family sent him." ”

Lonely deep house, there are no flowers in the cold winter, so they have to be dyed by three friends in the cold year.

In the dark, warm and fragrant, a little girl opened the curtain, brought in a bottle of plum, and said with a smile: "This year, this plum blossom is really early." ”

As he spoke, he could not hear anyone respond.

When I turned my head, I saw that her master was half-lying on the couch, covered with a fox fur, holding a book in his hand, and was looking at it intently.

The little girl couldn't help coughing, held Lamei to her master, and said with a smile: "Auntie, look at this flower, it blooms so fragrant." ”

My aunt didn't raise her eyelids, she was still immersed in the plot, she just hummed and said casually: "Let it go." ”

The little girl was helpless, put the vase on the incense table, and said in a chattering voice: "It would be nice if the white soap also had the fragrance of plum." Miss Yan in the house loves the fragrance of plum the most, I heard the person who sent the things to say that the Liby soap sent by her aunt and grandmother in Chongyang did not have the fragrance of plum fragrance, and Miss Chang was not happy. ”

It's a pity that there is still no response to this, the little girl was discouraged, and muttered: "I've read that book five or six times, and I've read it so fascinated, even the Buddhist scriptures should be tired of reading." ”

Muttering, the little girl walked to the mirror, opened the dresser, took out the rouge box inside, looked at the silk rouge inside, opened the powder box and looked at it, and complained: "The rouge is almost gone, the powder is almost gone, this silk rouge, the seller also boasted that it was made according to the secret recipe in the palace, and it is not easy to make it at all." ”

Suddenly, I heard someone knocking on the door, the little girl hurriedly went out to open the door, and after a while, she came in with a pout: "Auntie, Mrs. Zhu is here." ”

The aunt took her eyes off the book and said nonchalantly, "Didn't you say that the rouge and powder are gone?" The little girl flattened her mouth: "But this silk rouge is what she sells, and it is expensive and difficult to use!"

"Then don't buy rouge, just buy powder. "Grandma didn't care.

The little girl snorted, turned around and went out again, and after a while, led Zhu Maipo into the house.

Mrs. Zhu came over and saluted her aunt, and smiled with a low eyebrow: "Grandma is fine." ”

Grandma raised her eyes and smiled, and said, "Is there purple jasmine powder?"

Mrs. Zhu nodded hurriedly, covered her sleeve with her sleeve and said, "Yes, yes, yes, not only jasmine powder, but also the silk rouge and olay oil written in this book in my aunt's hand." ”

"Just jasmine powder. The little girl raised her voice and said.

Mrs. Zhu scolded her little hooves secretly, and said with a smile: "This silk rouge and olay oil are both palace secret recipes, but they are very good." ”

The little girl snorted and said dissatisfiedly: "Last time you came, you said the same thing, but you can sell that rouge, it's hard to use to death! Fortunately, my aunt didn't buy that kind of oil at the beginning." Now that you've opened a shop, the things you sell are getting worse and worse. ”

Mrs. Zhu smiled shyly: "Oh, don't hide it from my aunt and grandmother, I was also fooled at the beginning, how do I know that there are fake names and impersonations of the things sold in this industry." The olay oil that was brought to show my aunt and grandmother that time was actually fake, but my aunt read a lot of books, and I recognized it at a glance. ”

When the little girl heard this, her eyes instantly widened: "What! It's fake." ”

Zhu Maipo smiled: "Isn't it fake?" I also saw the real thing, and I realized that what kind of oil it was, it turned out to be not oil, but paste. ”

My aunt and grandmother said with a smile: "Come to think of it, it must be that the person who made the fake looked at Wen Shengyi, and when he saw an oil word, he made oil to pretend to be." ”

Hearing her aunt's tone, Mrs. Zhu hurriedly took out a carton from the basket, handed it to her aunt, and replied with a smile: "It's not as my aunt said." Auntie and grandmother take a look at this, if I had seen this earlier, how could I have been wronged and suffered this loss. It's also because I'm not greedy enough, and when I listen to the name, I believe it to be true, but I don't even think about the things on this secret recipe, how can I say that there is something to have. The last time that was the white soap, it was not rare, and there was still a period of time when I couldn't grab it. ”

My aunt took the cardboard box, opened it and took a look, and saw a gold-painted white porcelain jar inside, the porcelain jar was as thin as paper, and there was only a line of twisted gold characters like tadpoles, and the meaning could not be recognized.

Gently twisting the lid of the can, my aunt smiled: "White as snow, fragrant like a flower." It looks a little similar. ”

Mrs. Zhu cautiously came up and said, "Auntie has good eyesight. I heard that there was a noble man in the palace of the former dynasty, and after being buried for more than 20 years, someone robbed the tomb of the noble man at night, and found that this nobleman's face was as when he was alive, and his skin was soft, smooth like a girl, and he held a red gold box in his arms, and the box only had a bottle of olay and a secret recipe. Grandma want to try it?"

Grandma smiled and said, "This is just a fictional story in the book. Not to be believed. ”

Having said that, my aunt couldn't help but pick a little snow-white paste with her fingertips and rub it on the back of her hand, which was a little rough due to the cold winter wind, gradually moisturizing and delicate, and seeing a delicate color looming in it, her eyes couldn't help but light up.

Seeing that the business was successful, the corners of her mouth curled, and she stepped forward and said, "What does Grandma think?"

My aunt suddenly asked, "In addition to the olay mentioned in this book, there is also a kind of fairy water, why don't you bring it to me to take a look?"

Mrs. Zhu was speechless for a while, and forced a smile and prevaricated: "That thing is so expensive, how can it be sold at will." My aunt wants this, and let me inquire about it. ”

Out of the courtyard, Zhu Maipo carried the basket around, leaned against the wall to rest, touched the silver in the bag, and couldn't hide her joy. Zhu sold her mother-in-law and said in her heart, she finally earned two taels of silver, and she didn't waste so many lips and tongues in vain.

But when I thought of the silk rouge, I couldn't help but worry, I did a lifetime of trading, and now I have fallen into a big deal, this silk rouge is so difficult to use, I can't return it, and it's not easy to sell, so it's smashed in my hands.

Thinking of this, the joy of earning two taels of silver just now is gone.

Zhu Maipo sighed, carried the basket and turned around towards the most prosperous boundary in Jinling City.

Prosperous doors and alleys, painted Zhu Door, the sunset obliquely shines, and the cold long shadow.

Mrs. Zhu walked to the side door, and the little maid at the door was full of displeasure, and waved and said, "Go to the side, where are you from?"

Zhu Maipo nodded and flattered: "This little brother, there is a girl named Yufeng in the house, she paid a fixed fee in my shop and asked me to send things to the house." ”

"Don't you look at it, which house is this, and I have to buy something from your mother-in-law. When the little guy heard this, he laughed very exaggeratedly and presumptuously, but then said: "Forget it, I'm in a good mood today, go in and help you ask." ”

Mrs. Zhu was full of thanks.

The little maid went in for a long time before he saw a girl who was covered in silk and really beautiful and hurriedly walked out.

"Where's the stuff?"

Without waiting for Zhu Maipo to come forward to salute, Yufeng hurriedly asked, suddenly thought of something, and said, "Forget it, you come in with me." ”

The curtain of Yuehuajin was hooked by the curtain hook of gold and jade, and Xue Baoyun was draped in clothes, leaning on the desk, drawing intricate patterns with a pen.

Seeing Yufeng come in, Xue Baoyun put down his pen, picked up the tea and took a sip: "Are people here?"

Yufeng said with a smile: "I took something to the girl, and called two mothers-in-law to accompany the woman to eat tea." ”

Xue Baoyun nodded, casually held the pearl hairpin on his head, and said with a smile: "Show me the things." ”

Yu Fengfang took out a pink bottle from his arms and handed it to Xue Baoyun. The bottle was crystal light, but it was like a mist, and the material was glass

Xue Baoyun took the glass bottle, turned the bottle, the pink liquid swayed slightly, and she softly read out a line of ink-colored poems on the bottle: "Affection is the most cold water, and the ice looks like last year." ”。
