Chapter 32
It's been a few days since the last time she was outside the hall, and Jiang You has almost forgotten about it, but she hasn't seen Xue Yuan often recently, which makes her a little puzzled.
Today is the day of the Gongyuan exam, according to the rules, Jiang You has to go to the Gongyuan to inspect the examination room, of course it is a good thing to be able to leave the palace, she hurriedly changed into men's civilian clothes after the inspection, and took a few attendants out of the gate of the Gongyuan.
She didn't go out of the palace much, every time she came out, she was like a monkey who was unhandcuffed, she felt fresh when she saw everything, and she almost didn't make a fuss, she was thinking about Xue Yuan this time, she was afraid that he was still angry, but she didn't go around, and turned her head and asked Ma Chengdao behind her: "Do you know where Xue Zhangyin's house is?" ”
Xue Yuan's residence is not a secret, he is the person promoted by Xue Yuan from Dongchang for Jiang You to send, of course he knows where the overseer's house is, so he hurriedly said: "The slave knows, what's the matter with you?" ”
Jiang You looked left and right: "Where is there a place to buy things around here, I will buy something and go and see the palm print." ”
Ma Cheng was stunned for a moment, and muttered in his heart how could the things of an ordinary market get into the eyes of the Overseer, but after thinking about it, he still didn't dare to say this, nodded and said: "There is a market not far ahead, but there are too many people there, so I don't have to bump into you, why don't we choose a few elegant shops to shop around?" ”
When Jiang You heard that there were many people, he became excited, and urged again and again: "What's the point of going to the store, what do you want in the palace?" It's the kind of place where there are a lot of people that you can find interesting things. ”
Ma Cheng had nothing to say, so he could only take her to the market, and as soon as he got there, he saw a string of stalls to buy snacks, Jiang You ran over excitedly, and ate one by himself and brought one by the way, Ma Cheng carried a big bag and a small bag with a bitter face, and whispered: "Your Majesty, if you like to eat, let the imperial dining room invite a cook to make it for you, why bother to bring it back so much?" ”
Jiang You thought he was talking too much, so he took an oil-paper umbrella from the stall where he bought the umbrella and poked him to shut up, and then said: "I didn't buy it for myself, I bought it for the palm print, and I don't know which one he likes to eat, so I bought some of everything." ”
As soon as she looked down and saw that the lotus leaves on the umbrella were quite exquisite, she happily held them in her hand and walked forward with the umbrella.
She looked over and found that the calligraphy and paintings that the store took out to buy were a little familiar, and she was stunned for a moment before she reacted, isn't this her words?
The shopkeeper was very good at doing business, and when he saw her staring at a painting without taking his eyes off, he hurriedly stepped forward and introduced: "This little brother has a vision, and he fell in love with the treasure in our store at a glance." ”
Jiang You was interested: "This is the baby in your store?" She had already seen that it was an imitation, and although the characters were similar, the paper and ink were made of ordinary rice paper and cigarette ink, and it would definitely not be her.
The shopkeeper nodded again and again, pretending to lower his voice mysteriously, "Do you know who wrote this word?" It is the imperial pen of the current emperor of the crown prince, and there are many people who want it. He boasted again: "It's not that I'm boasting, the words written by the prince of our dynasty are really not picky, and even several princes in the dynasty are full of praise, you look at this strength, and then look at this style, hey, it's really a royal style." ”
This dynasty is open, except for some secrets, these royal elegance things don't mind the accident, otherwise the store wouldn't dare to put out such a big horn to buy.
Jiang You smiled when he heard this, touched his chin and pondered for a while, then suddenly shook his head again and said, "No, since it is the prince's ink treasure, where did you get it?" ”
The shopkeeper laughed a few times: "I won't tell you, my uncle's son's neighbor's godfather is the father-in-law of the palace errand, so hehe." He lowered his voice and said, "I'll give you this number if you want." He gestured with a hand: "Five taels of silver." ”
Jiang You glared at him angrily: "What do you mean, aren't you bullying me for being young?" ”
The shopkeeper thought that a fat sheep had come, but he didn't expect it to be a knowledgeable person, so he had to admit that he was unlucky and said: "Don't worry, the price is negotiable, how about three taels, three taels of silver?" ”
Jiang You bluffed and said, "You blew it so well before, it is both in the palace and royal, and it is your turn to make such a little silver?" ”
Wang Xizhi's genuine handiwork costs thousands of taels of silver, although she doesn't dare to be a sage of the book, but it doesn't make sense to be a thousand times lower, even if it's a fake, isn't it a slap in the face if the price is lower?
The shopkeeper figured out something meaningful, and tentatively stretched out his hand and said, "Then why not fifty taels?" ”
Jiang You still shook his head, the shopkeeper was happy all of a sudden, he hadn't seen anyone take the initiative to send silver to the door, he turned his hand over: "You are a cheerful person, then I won't fight, a fixed price, two hundred taels!" ”
The price is okay, Jiang You said with a spring breeze on his face: "If someone comes to buy it in the future, you will sell it at this price." As he spoke, he wanted to throw his sleeves and leave, but was stopped by the shopkeeper all of a sudden, and he said with a calm face: "What do you mean by this?" Don't you make fun of me? He straightened up and said, "You have delayed most of the day's work, you have to buy this word, and you have to buy it if you don't buy it." ”
Jiang You pouted, since this character is almost the same as what she wrote, it means that someone must have seen her character and counterfeited it, this matter can be big or small, in case it is used to do bad things, it will be troublesome. Just because she doesn't care about the store doesn't mean she doesn't care about the people who pass on her words.
She shook her head and said, "I didn't say I wanted to buy you from beginning to end, even if I was wrong, you can't force me to buy it." ”
The shopkeeper was speechless, and simply looked sideways at a few guys in the store to say hello, and immediately hula came up in a circle
Xue Yuan leaned on the car rim and arrived at the tea by himself, when suddenly the sedan chair stopped, he frowned, lifted the curtain and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Cheng Beili replied outside the sedan chair: "There is a market in front, it seems that someone is making trouble." ”
Xue Yuan sighed lightly, and suddenly a voice came out of the crowd, straight to his ears, he held the teacup of the hand paused, and said to Cheng Bei in a faint voice: "You go and see what happened, see if the emperor is inside." ”
Cheng Bei responded, and half a pillar of incense returned, and said to him; "You are like a god, the emperor is really inside."
Xue Yuan took a sip of tea: "What is the emperor doing?" ”
Speaking of this, Cheng Bei couldn't help but smile and said: "The emperor wants to buy other people's things, and he forced them to raise the price a hundred times, and then he didn't buy it, and the store was not happy and forced her to buy it." ”
Xue Yuan's hand paused, and said in a rambling voice: "You go and bring the emperor over, this matter is dismissed at will, don't make a noise." "She has done so many strange things, and he doesn't feel weird anymore.
Cheng Bei didn't know what method he used, and after a while, the noise stopped, and as soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Jiang You enter the sedan chair with a large bag, put everything on the small table in front of him, and said with a smile: "Palm print, this is all bought for you." ”
Xue Yuan lowered his head and found that it was all bits and pieces of food, what kind of crab roe buns, rhombic flour cakes, chestnut cakes, he sneered: "The emperor is also stingy, just give these things as gifts?" ”
Jiang You took apart a piece of chestnut crisp and ate it slowly: "The courtesy is light and affectionate, so don't pick and choose the palm print." ”
He raised his eyes and looked at her with a smile, his heart fluttered slightly, and then sank again. He has always been steady, thinking of that gaffe, he felt that he shouldn't be, could it be that he had been laughing for a long time, and he really had something to think about the little emperor?
Originally, he was just standing on the dry shore, and if he thought it was funny, he had nothing to do to amuse her, but he was afraid that this time he would plant himself in it, and that would be a big joke, so he simply stayed away from her these days, so as to precipitate his thoughts
The people who had been thinking about it for several days were laughing in front of him, and it was difficult to calm down for a while, he sorted out his thoughts, and glanced at Jiang You, who kept talking: "Didn't the emperor go to inspect the examination room, why did he come out so early?" ”
Jiang You coughed twice, picked up an empty teacup and poured tea for himself, and took two sips: "Anyway, there are more than a dozen examiners in an examination room, and if I go, I will go through the scene, how can there be anything to patrol?" On the contrary, it also delays other people's exams. She thought about it, told her about the words she encountered today, and said worriedly: "I don't know when my words came out, if I just use them to make money, it's okay to say, if I do some side things, it will be troublesome." ”
Xue Yuan groaned: "Those palace maids can't get out of the palace lightly, I'm afraid they are all made by the palace attendants, since they are internal servants, then they have nothing to do with my Dongchang, and this matter will be handed over to the ministers." ”
Jiang You nodded and said, "Then it's bothering the palm print." She looked out: "Palm print, is this going home?" ”
Xue Yuan's thin white fingers knocked a few times, and he laughed: "The annual vacation is coming soon, and the minister also plans to go home to rest for a few days." ”
Jiang You had a headache when he mentioned this: "The Queen Mother, the Empress Dowager, is probably coming back at the end of the year, what should I do with Concubine Shu?" ”
Last time, Xue Yuan ordered someone to drag these two people away, Jiang You never saw these two people again, and he said in a businesslike tone: "Although Concubine Shu is the niece of the Queen Mother, but the ministers act according to the law, even the Queen Mother can't blame anything." "Anyway, those two people were almost tossed.
Jiang You listened to his tone lightly, as if he was a little alienated, and pinched his chin with his hand and pondered, "What's wrong with the palm print?" Aren't you still angry? ”
Xue Yuan said in a rambling voice: "The emperor is too careful, the minister has nothing, or" He raised his lips and smiled, took the tea cup she had just used, moved his lips to the place where she had just drunk the tea, and drank it slowly: "The emperor likes the minister to talk to you intimately?" He took another sip of his tea, as if savoring the sweet aroma that seemed to be absent.
Jiang You was so frightened that he shut up, and at this time, he heard a report from someone outside the sedan chair, saying that Mrs. Zhang was going to enter the palace tomorrow to pay a visit.
Jiang You sat in the sedan chair and thought for a while: "What happened to King Ning last time was thanks to my uncle's timely response, otherwise I would be in big trouble, and my cousin is still injured, so I should visit them." After she finished speaking, she looked at Xue Yuan with a blank eye.
Xue Yuan secretly sighed, 'grinding people', raised his hand to open the curtain, and said lightly: "It's not too early, the minister will send the emperor over." ”
Jiang You smiled brightly.
