Jiang Shuncheng said: "Your Majesty, someone has bought off the fortune teller in the whole imperial city, if it weren't for Yan Shizi who is unwilling to admit defeat, this matter would have really been blinded in the past." Weichen asked Qin Tianjian to help him close the eight characters, saying that it was a good fate for Lu, and he had agreed with the king of the left shoulder, and he was engaged to the two children recently. It's rare that they are in love, but it has also fulfilled this good relationship. ”

The emperor knew that someone was making trouble behind his back, a girl who wanted to marry the Jiang family, marrying Jiang Suyan was not because of her fame, but because of the Jiang family's power in Northern Qi; One wants to marry the niece of Princess Jing's mother's Xue family into the left shoulder palace, and the purpose is also to strengthen his own strength.

The emperor secretly guessed: Could this really be done by the people of Jingwangfu? In the past few years, King Jing has consolidated his strength, and he knows all of them. After silently paying attention to what the prince had done behind his back for several years, his heart was like a mirror. Now that his health is getting worse day by day, the emperor has to worry, in case he dies one day, will the next new monarch be able to control these ambitious princes?

The two of them talked for a while, talking about several major events that had happened in the DPRK and China recently, and Jiang Shuncheng's parting feelings about leaving the imperial city and returning to his homeland. At this moment, it was as if they were not kings and ministers but friends who had known each other for a long time.

For the emperor, no one in the whole world is worthy of being his friend.

The emperor has always been a loner, but the peaceful picture in front of him seems to be a pair of friends talking to themselves. This was the most relaxed conversation between Jiang Shuncheng and the emperor in decades.

The general pipe: "Your Majesty, Concubine Xian Niangniang sent loquat dew." ”

The emperor said with a smile: "Anxi's medical skills are good, yesterday I asked Concubine Xian to make rock sugar pear cream, and most of the cough was cured, and I slept very sweetly." Pass her in! ”

Jiang Shuncheng clenched his fists: "Your Majesty, Weichen retires!" ”

Just out of the temple of nourishment. I saw Concubine Xian leading a few palace ladies to move over.

Jiang Shuncheng gave a salute.

Concubine Xian whispered: "Wen Zhong waits for a good go!" As soon as the words fell, I saw a palace lady sneakily out of the cultivation hall, and reprimanded: "What is this doing, can't you even forget the rules in the palace?" ”

Gong E knelt down in shock, and said, "Slave maid...... The slave maid is the palace maid in the palace of the Nine Princesses. I heard that the emperor was going to marry the ninth princess, so I came to see what happened. ”

When the time comes, the emperor will naturally say. How can you go around, hurry back to the palace! ”

Concubine Xian has always been the best concubine to talk in the deep palace.

Gong E got up and ran towards the palace of the ninth princess like a wild fly.

The ninth princess was playing with several palace ladies in the pitching pot, throwing arrow feathers into the bottle more than a dozen steps apart, playing too many times, throwing ten. Seven or eight fell into the bottle. Every time she hits one, Gong'e on one side applauds.

"Princess! The princess ...... "Gong E entered the inner hall in a hurry.

The Ninth Princess smiled. Asked in a cold voice: "Say!" ”

Gong E said: "Princess, inquire clearly. The emperor wants to point out the princess to Jiang Youxiang's grandson. ”

"The grandson of the Jiang family......"

The right prime minister's Jiang family, the ninth princess has long heard of it. The second son, Jiang Shukun, was the emperor's Pingxi Hou, and Jiang Shuncheng also got the title of Wen Zhonghou, which can be described as an honor. The daughter of Jiang Shukun was named the county lord and gave a county to Mu Shiyi. The daughter of Jiang Shuncheng was named the county lord, and she also had Mu Shiyi. was asked to resign by Su Yan.

When the nurse and mother heard it, this was a very good match. "What a pony this time!"

Good? The ninth princess doesn't think it's so good? Twisting his eyebrows slightly, the official ladies of the imperial city all broke their heads and wanted to marry into the Jiang family. Now even she wants to marry into the Jiang family.

Whether it's good or not, she has to be satisfied.

The nurse continued: "The Jiang family does not accept concubines, and once they get married, they will not have a room. The princess is also relieved! ”

Who is willing to fight with wives and concubines, although there are many Jiang families, but the wives and grandmothers who marry into the door are not as noble as princesses, if they enter the Jiang family, it is not up to the princess to have the final say.

First, the children and grandchildren of the Jiang family are different from other powerful people, all of them are not gentle, the Jiang family spoils their daughters, but they are strict with their sons. Men are not allowed to have a room before fifteen, and they will be sent to the room two months before they get married, and once they get married, they only have one wife and no concubines, which is also the reason why the wives of the entire imperial city officials are willing to marry their daughters into the Jiang family.

Second, the Jiang family's house is peaceful. Legend has it that several concubines get along like sisters.

"Jiang Shuncheng has many grandchildren, which one is it?"

Gong E hurriedly replied: "It's Jiang Shuhong's son." ”

The nursing mother said: "Dafang Jiang Shuhong has three sons. There are two who are not married, and the second son was engaged in the spring of last year. was supposed to get married in the autumn, but the old lady of the Cao family passed away in May, and the grandchildren kept filial piety for a year, so this family affair was delayed. ”

The ninth princess was no longer interested in throwing pots, and when she thought of her future husband, she felt uneasy. But seeing Gong'e and the nursing mother all happy, it must be good. "Come on, take men's clothes!" How it is, she'll see.

Gong E said: "The princess wants to leave the palace? ”

"Let's go and see what it's like, if it's not good, I asked my father to point me to a good one."

The Jiang family has many children and grandchildren, she must choose a good one for herself, no, she chooses one that she looks at and likes.

The nurse said: "The Jiang family's sons have reached the age of marriage, and the young sons of Jiang Shuhong and the second son of Jiang Shukun in the second room are heard to be sixteen or seventeen years old. ”

The ninth princess was gloomy, "I am so old and not engaged, I am eight or nine years old in ordinary people, and I am not more than fifteen years later." ”

The nurse said: "The princess doesn't know that the Jiang family chooses a daughter-in-law, but it is very strict, and it is carefully selected every time." It is said that the Jiang family's sons and daughters have only one wife, and they can't wronged their own children and grandchildren, so they have to choose the best one. ”

The Jiang family's rigor in selecting daughters-in-law is also famous in the imperial city. Even some powerful Houfu celebrities also learned from the Jiang family, and after some careful selection, they first decided on three, and then selected the most satisfactory one from the most suitable three. The three companies that entered the final selection are one in a hundred in terms of family background and character. The women who can be selected are good in appearance, talent, and character.

Gong E said with a smile: "The princess is also very good, and Jiang Youxiang promised to be so happy." ”

No matter what, she has to go out of the palace today to see what is going on.

The Nine Princesses and the personal maids are dressed as young men, although the personal maids are women, they have been practicing martial arts since childhood, and they were selected from the Royal Forest Army to serve the Nine Princesses.

The ninth princess wears a scholarly blue hat on her head. Dressed in a blue brocade and wearing a pair of brocade boots at his feet. With zero length, slender shoulders and weak back, clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, he looks like a weak scholar who has no power to restrain chickens.

Look at Gong E's chess again, dressed as a small servant. He was wearing a gray shirt, a gray scarf wrapped around his head, and a pair of gray shoes under his feet. looks delicate, but she is stronger than the ninth princess, and this dress really makes her feel like a male and female.

The master and servant went out of the palace gate. The waiter inquired and said in a low voice, "Childe." Heard they're in the auction house? ”

"Auction house......" The ninth princess was curious.

But in the tea shop on the street, there were a few scholars chatting.

"Yesterday, the exclusive auction house opened the market, and Bai Feng's calligraphy was sold for a high price of 600,000 taels of silver."

It is really an unheard-of sensation, and today it has spread in the streets and alleys, and it has become an interesting thing to talk about in the streets and alleys.

"Who is so generous? The shot is 600,000 taels. ”

"Who else can be the princess of the dynasty. And that's not all. also filmed "Peach Source Map" together. I heard that this painting sold for 310,000 taels. ”

This is an unprecedentedly high price, a painting is enough for the people to eat for several lifetimes, and the people are amazed.

A man in a brocade robe entered the tea shop. Lang said: "I have seen the "Taoyuan Map" at the birthday banquet of the right prime minister, which is the result of gathering everyone in the world. Such a good picture was compared to the words of Bai Feng's "Zi Xuan Fu". ”

The waiter learned the man's tone and asked the man in the brocade robe: "The Taoyuan Map is not a calligraphy and painting brought back by the county lord of Anxi, why did it appear in the auction house?" ”

Everyone looked at the master and servant boy who came in, such a big thing, but they didn't know what to do.

Someone said with great interest: "You two are outsiders, right?" I didn't know that the Lu Dao Auction House was opened by the Jiang family and could auction everything in the world. Houses, title deeds, calligraphy and paintings, jewelry, ...... However, if it can be looked at by several owners and shopkeepers of the auction house, it can enter the large, medium and small markets after the appraisal. ”

A half-year-old boy ran in like a wind, panting, "Aunt Ma's old house on the street...... The pawnshop only gave eighteen taels of silver, but in the auction house he bought fifty-two taels. ”

Immediately, there was a discussion.

"Fifty-two taels of silver, it's worth it, the price is quite kind."

"This auction house is a place with a fair price."

For the people, it is inevitable that they will be short of money, and sometimes in order to make a living, they will sell a few things left by their ancestors, and change their money to continue to live.

The half-grown boy said, "Many people have gone to see it today. When something enters the auction house, it can be sold at a good price, and the buyer is not deceived, and the seller is not deceived. The auction house takes 20% of the profits. ”

Fifty-two taels of silver, that is ten taels or four of the money.

Someone said: "If you are looking for a tooth shop, Aunt Ma's old house can be sold for a maximum of twenty-seven or eighty taels of silver, which is also appropriate." ”

"Sister-in-law Ma's mother and son are very happy. said that with this money, you can live a good life for a few years. ”

The ninth princess was interested, and said to the half-grown boy with a smile: "Take us over to see the strangeness, okay?" ”

When I ran to the intersection of several streets, I saw a large group of people gathered at the intersection, all looking inside through the gate.

The waiter led the ninth princess to squeeze in desperately, until the onlookers next to him scolded again and again.

In the house, there are rich merchants, people from wealthy families, and ordinary people in the market.

A young man stood on the stage and said loudly, "The next item, an ancestral jade." Ask the three major dental shops to help with the valuation! ”

There were three old men sitting in front of the table on the left, dressed as businessmen, and the three of them were holding jade and muttering for a while, and the people below began to discuss.

"After identification, this is a high-quality jade, and it is even more rare that the Buddha statue carved on it is lifelike. The price starts at fifty taels of silver, and each time you call the price rises by one tael of silver. Begin! ”

All the people sitting in the room, holding a sign in their hands, kept shaking, everyone, you voice, I shouted the price, and the jade soon rose to seventy taels of silver.
