If he buys vegetables, when he encounters such a seller who takes the initiative to reduce the price, Zhang Shou will happily pick up the bargain and go back, however, now that he is choosing a future home, he meets a seller like the emperor who is too generous, and his mood is really a little complicated. After all, when he slaughtered the eldest prince, he was not very polite.

Therefore, seeing that Zhu Ying ran over happily like a light colorful butterfly that is unique in winter, and Zhan Jin Liuyin followed closely behind, he asked with a smile: "Yingying, what do you three think of this house?" ”

"This peony garden is very good!" Zhu Ying praised the peony garden first, and then added, "Don't look at the bare everywhere in winter, let alone the flowers, you can't even see the leaves, but when it comes to spring, when the flowers bloom, they are absolutely beautiful!" ”

She paused for a moment, and then continued: "Juan Mountain has never liked the childishness of small families, and it is not blindly piling up rockeries, small bridges and flowing water, but paying attention to spaciousness and liking a kind of desolate beauty. With a little bit of change, we can move in, and it's really much easier than building a house. Ah Shou, just buy it here! If you don't have enough money, I'll lend it to you! ”

Zhang Shou didn't expect Zhu Ying to be so direct and active, and then smiled after being stunned for a moment: "Yingying, didn't you just say that you wanted to buy this place before, but your grandmother and your father didn't give you money?" How can you get rich now? ”

"In the past, I just thought, if I really want to buy such a big courtyard, will I use it as a dowry in the future? Who knows if it will be cheaper for the white-eyed wolf! Zhu Ying blurted out habitually, and then realized that she had made a serious slip of the tongue, and immediately sneered, "How do I know that my father has already set a marriage for me, Ah Shou, you are so perfect...... So now even if I sell jewelry, I have to buy it! ”

When Zhang Shou heard the three words white-eyed wolf, he was suddenly a little surprised. Such a lady of heaven who was held in the palm of her hand like Zhu Ying, he thought that she must always be optimistic about the future, but he didn't expect that she would have such a pessimistic understanding.

Perhaps, it is because her father Zhao Guogong Zhu Jing and her mother Jiuniang have turned against each other for many years, which makes her a little more worried about the future?

But when she said that she would buy the house with him when she sold her jewelry, Zhang Shou laughed, and then repeated what Ah Liu said just now. At this moment, Zhu Ying, who was frowning slightly, was overjoyed all of a sudden, and almost shouted Long live the emperor.

However, Zhang Shou poured a basin of cold water on her head: "Having said that, but the emperor is so generous, I can't take it for granted." Therefore, I want Ah Liu to give me a word, even if the emperor of this palace sells it to me cheaply, the price of 5,000 guan is about the same, and 50 guan is too outrageous. However, I intend to take 250 acres of cotton fields and 2,500 acres. ”

"After all, it's true that I earned 10,000 yuan, but a small half of it was Zhang Wu, Zhang Lu and Lu Sanlang who existed with me. I can't take their money to make a fuss. ”

Zhu Ying was about to object, but seeing Zhang Shou's made up her mind, she was slightly stunned, and then nodded and said: "It's okay, if you only give fifty guan, it will become the emperor rewarding you with this courtyard in disguise...... But your loom is almost finished, and the emperor will probably have a headache at that time! ”

When I just found out that the first half of Miss's words were actually talking about a white-eyed wolf, which was really too explicit, Zhan Jin and Liuyin were all sweating, for fear that the aunt who was as elegant and talented as a fairy in the sky would be angry, but when they heard the second half of Miss's words that seemed to show their hearts and said that they wanted to sell jewelry, the two of them were relieved at the same time. But as it turned out, they weren't scared enough.

At this time, when he heard the word loom, Liuyin subconsciously asked, "Miss, what loom?" Wasn't Shou Gongzi a drawing of a textile machine before? Spinning machines and looms don't seem to be the same thing! ”

Zhu Ying suddenly smiled with crooked eyebrows, and her face was unusually proud: "Who is Ah Shou?" After making a spinning machine, it is natural to improve the loom! I've just seen it with him, and it should be a good idea soon. At that time, pick another wronged boss to slaughter, that is called joy! ”

Zhang Shou was immediately amused: "Yingying, do you think that the eldest prince can be hidden from being slaughtered?" This kind of thing can only be done once, and the second time will not be useful. ”

"Then aren't you at a loss?" Zhu Ying suddenly frowned, "If that's the case, we will buy this house for fifty times, otherwise the benefits will be earned by the emperor!" ”

"The emperor is not only using new spinning machines in the weaving and dyeing bureau in those royal places, but intends to promote it in the world, so the emperor not only did not make money, but lost a lot, after all, this annex is obviously even liked by the emperor himself." Zhang Shou smiled slightly as he spoke, and then said calmly, "Besides, even if I don't kill the big head, I can't make a lot of money on the loom." ”

Zhu Ying suddenly became curious, and hurriedly asked at this time, when Zhang Shou had an unfathomable expression on the mountain's own clever plan, she couldn't help but feel itchy, and then suddenly thought of another question: "Oh, since the loom is almost finished, Ah Liu took us out to see the house today, Zhu Hong and they are in the house again, isn't there no one guarding over there?" ”

Zhan Jin also suddenly came to his senses: "Yes, what if there is a bad guy like the eldest prince and the second prince who has a bad idea?" Shou Gongzi, you are too careless! ”

Zhang Shou smiled, and then looked sideways at Ah Liu. And Zhu Ying and Zhan Jin Liuyin's master and servant also immediately followed his gaze, all staring at Ah Liu. Faced with such a gaze, the young man seemed calm and relaxed.

"There are crazy people!"

Hearing these simple four words, Zhu Ying suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "It turns out that Uncle Hua is watching there, no wonder Ah Liu, you are so determined to accompany us out, then I can rest assured!" Uncle Hua is more fierce than ghosts, if anyone has an idea, then he really thinks wrong! ”

"But when did Seventh Master Hua speak so well?" Liuyin was very strange, and then muttered in a low voice, "Hua Qiye is usually lazy and doesn't care about anything, but this time he will actually go out, and the sun really came out in the west." Also, the textile machine made by Shou Gongzi is so valuable, and the loom must be very valuable this time, maybe it was Mrs. Tai who personally ordered it to take the seventh master to watch. ”

The corners of Ah Liu's mouth curled, and his hidden expression changed, Zhang Shou saw it in his eyes, but he knew that this kid was laughing at Liuyin would be wrong. Ever since Ah Liu told him that Hua Qi was personally watching near the mansion, which was both a blacksmith and a carpenter's shop, he realized that it must be the emperor's intention. And he didn't plan to make a fortune quietly, so he was naturally happy to see it.

Therefore, he didn't worry at all that Hua Qi would see through the transformation that didn't have much technical content, and then the emperor would build things first. Because, after several encounters, he has already concluded that the emperor is not the kind of greedy character, and in addition to being maverick, there is also a rare open-mindedness.

With such a monarch, if nothing else, he at least feels that his life as an official is not sad.

At that moment, he smiled and said, "Okay, this peony garden has been seen, let's go to the rest of this courtyard." Everyone pondered and pondered what the use of the houses everywhere could be regarded as brainstorming. ”

Now that it has been decided to buy the former Luwangfu Annex, after the group of five people left the peony garden, they had to take a good stroll. But there is a winding stream behind the peony garden, and the south of the stream is an octagonal pavilion, and there are several miscellaneous trees next to the pavilion, and a cluster of begonias is planted. At the end of the stream flows into a stone wall, next to which is a grass pavilion, and next to the grass pavilion stands two large stones.

The material of these two large stones is quite peculiar, one of them is on the book of the inner house, and the other is on the book of the town, Zhang Shou originally thought that this was because the original owner was the emperor of the dynasty, but when he identified the seal of the inscription, he found that the four words on it were "Mingren Palace Treasure". If it was something else, he might not recognize it, but he remembered that the Akihito Palace Treasure was one of the small seals of Emperor Yuan Shun.

And Zhu Ying's eyes widened even more: "This seems to be the town stone at the gate of the inner library, right?" At the beginning, I heard that King Lu went to visit the inner library, but he fell in love with this thing, and begged the queen mother to move back to his own courtyard. The emperor also turned a blind eye. ”

King Lu is really willful and arrogant to the extreme, no wonder there is such an end.

Zhang Shou thought so in his heart, so he had to look at it twice, and then smiled: "This is what Emperor Yuan Shun did, and King Lu has a good eye." Since it is a thing in the palace, let's return it as it is. Anyway, I don't have any preference and research for this kind of strange stone for decoration, I only see that the seal on the stone should be Emperor Yuan Shun's, of course, Yingying, if you like it......"

Zhu Ying was still a little interested, but as soon as Zhang Shou said Emperor Yuan Shun, she immediately stretched her face: "If it is something from the Tang and Song dynasties, it is almost the same, Emperor Yuan Shun...... Hehe, who is rare for the king of the dead country! ”

She sneered, and then said with great interest: "King Lu may have been killed by this kind of thing that destroyed the country." If this house is returned to us, I will return this stone myself...... Hey, there seem to be flowers over there! ”

Seeing that Miss Zhu left these two strange stones, a gust of wind rushed over to a cluster of faintly revealing colorful flowers over there, Zhan Jin and Liuyin hurriedly caught up, Zhang Shou couldn't help but feel a little strange.

You know, this is the capital, if it weren't for the warm up today, there was sunshine before, he wouldn't have invited Zhu Ying to come out to see the house, but he didn't expect to go shopping for a day, and the sky began to be cloudy in the afternoon, as if it was going to snow...... However, no matter what, how can there be flowers blooming in this cold winter wax moon? Moreover, a cluster of colorful flowers, this must be a rare variety!

Zhang Shou thought as he hurried over. When he got closer, he found that it was not a flower, but a colorful strip of paper tied on the flower branch.

Zhu Ying angrily took off one of the yellow notes, looked down and found that there was handwriting on it, and she was immediately surprised. After taking a closer look, she couldn't help but burst out laughing: "I thought this was a sacrifice to the god of flowers, but I thought that the god of flowers should not be the time to plant mangs?" Unexpectedly, this is a note left by the emperor to Ah Shou! ”

It was actually a note left by the emperor?

Zhang Shou was also stunned by the emperor's whimsy, and then laughed dumbly. And Zhan Jin and Liuyin looked at each other, and Liuyin muttered to himself: "This is too child's play, isn't it?" What if the eldest lady and Shou Gongzi didn't see it? ”

"The emperor knew my temper, so he did this. On this cold day, there are more than a dozen colorful notes tied to the head of a cluster of flowers, and I will definitely be curious to come forward to see what is going on! Zhu Ying said as she untied all the notes with a smile, and then stuffed them all to Zhang Shou, "Ah Shou, come and see, what did the emperor say?" ”

Although it was an accident, Zhang Shou was indeed very curious about what the emperor was doing. When he looked down at the first note in his hand, his face suddenly became extremely strange.

"The word pays Zhang Qing, because of me, no one dares to buy the palace of Lu Wang for more than ten years, and in the long run, the inner library is repaired countless times every year. Now I know that Zhang Qing is about to marry, and Yingying is about to be married, so I will use this house as a gift to celebrate. This is not a gift from the Son of Heaven, but a gift from the elderly. Fifty times with Ah Liu's words, but it's just a joke. ”

Zhang Shou didn't know if this was a coincidence, or if every note of the emperor was written like this, so he hurriedly went to look at the next second one, but saw that it was the untitled hall that entered the door before the introduction. And the two untitled words are not written by King Lu himself, but the royal pen of today's son. At this time, he tasted the note in his hand and the handwriting on the plaque, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The two words of the main hall of the Luwang Courtyard are called untitled, and the emperor's willfulness does not lose a few points to the King of Lu, so I don't know if the King of Lu and the King of Ye were mixed together, whether there was also a factor of anger at the emperor's untitled hall.

While he was so slanderous, he continued to read other notes, and saw that they were all introducing the buildings in this courtyard, such as what material the pavilion was, which consumed manual geometry; What kind of trees are they, when they were planted, or where they were transplanted? When are the bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest the most delicious; What is the origin of the ponds and pavilions next to this flower......

Zhang Shou initially looked at this note with some banter, but after reading all seven or eight of them, his carelessness dissipated cleanly, and was replaced by a little melancholy.

Whether the emperor began to pay close attention to this place at the beginning of the garden, or after the death of King Lu, after the nationalization of this courtyard, he often came and went, and inquired about the details of the design and construction of the past, it can be said that it was not only out of unwillingness and malice that he was taken away by his younger brother in the first place. Perhaps, the emperor has always been difficult to forget the only younger brother of King Lu.

"A-Shou!"

Hearing this sudden voice, Zhang Shou suddenly looked up, but saw Zhu Ying looking at him with sparkling eyes - and the shiny thing was clearly water. Zhu Ying, who knew that she knew more about the old things in the palace than herself, might also have experienced that inside story, so he smiled at her.

"Go home. If you find a good house, you naturally have to tell Mrs. Tai and Aunt Jiu, as well as your second brother, first! ”
