After the hexagram of the Haiwanju Taoist Hong Xinghe, His Royal Highness Wu lost the interest of shopping before, and walked two streets with a heavy heart, since he couldn't figure it out, he simply stopped thinking about it, and had the opportunity to go to Qingyun to ask the old Taoist Lan Daoxing It was naturally clear.

After the fifth highness figured it out, he was in a much more cheerful mood, and finally went out of the palace, naturally he wanted to buy something to go back, at this time he just passed through the royal mud workshop, so the fifth master walked in very naturally, and entered the royal mud workshop, most of them were women, it seemed that some ladies and ladies were choosing rouge gouache with maids, and a few guys boasted to them that the rouge gouache of the royal mud workshop was so high-end and how different.

Zhu Youzhen turned around, but didn't find anything special, the palace is always the best, he naturally doesn't look down on these ordinary goods, the Fifth Highness turned around and wanted to leave, but saw a fat young man outside the door with two entourages blocking the door, and before he entered the door, he heard the big voice of this benevolent brother, "Shopkeeper, what good goods do you have in your store recently?" ”

"No wonder I heard the magpie chirping in the morning, it turned out that you were always coming, little grandfather." The shopkeeper saw the visitor and hurriedly trotted out from behind the counter to greet him. "Come to Xi, go and take my treasured Longjing for the little grandfather to soak, come to Fu, go to Zhengming Zhai to buy some of the little grandfather's favorite egg yolk crisp."

The guy who called Laixi made good tea, and the shopkeeper personally served it, "Little grandfather, this is Wu Yutai's top Longjing this year, only a few catties a year, and you can't even drink it in the palace, you can always taste it." ”

"I said Wu Fatty, tea master drink slowly, hurry up and take out the good goods in your store to the master, to be unique, the two boxes of rouge that the master bought from you last time turned out to be the same as the rouge used by Liu Ping in the Green Willow Courtyard, the harmful master gave Feng Laiyi Furong was ridiculed by Fang Shihong's bastards, what the master wants to send is the top card of the eight major alleys, you dare to fool the master with the things used by those girls who are too angry, be careful that the master smashes your signboard."

The shopkeeper of the Royal Mudfang is surnamed Wu, and his body is a little fat, and people who are familiar with him call him Wu Fatty, but the title of this Wu Fat Man is called out of the mouth of this little grandfather, but Zhu Youzhen, who listened to it, wanted to laugh, compared to the size of this little grandfather, it is worth two of Wu's shopkeepers.

Shopkeeper Wu listened to the words of the little grandfather and hurriedly defended, "My lord, you have died unjustly, the rouge you bought last time is the top, there are only three boxes in total, Fang Gongzi bought one box, and the remaining two boxes were bought by you, presumably Liu Ping used it was given by Fang Gongzi, that kind of rouge is not a rotten street thing." ”

The Fifth Highness watched the excitement next to him, and asked Li Jinzhong, "Which little grandfather is this?" ”

"Back to the fifth master, this is Zhu Ying'an, the little grandfather of Zhu Chunchen's family, the Duke of Chengguo."

At this time, the guy came to hold a lacquered gold wooden box and handed it to the shopkeeper Wu, and the shopkeeper Wu took off the key on his body to open the golden lock of the wooden box.

Seeing that Shopkeeper Wu was so cautious, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but come up, he wanted to see what kind of treasure should be so precious.

When the wooden box was opened, I saw that there were two compartments inside, one of which contained an azure porcelain box with the three words "Yu Nifang" on it, and the other compartment was much larger, and there were four glass bottles inside, and the glass bottles contained pale yellow or pink liquid.

Shopkeeper Wu first took out the porcelain box and introduced, "Little grandfather, this is the latest seaweed mud developed by our royal mud workshop, and there are not a few boxes in a year, and a total of five boxes have been produced this year, four of which were bought by the comprador of Zheng Guifei in the palace, and it will not flow out, this is the last box, you see that even this porcelain box is the stuff of the official kiln, and a box of seaweed mud costs six hundred taels of silver." ”

After the shopkeeper Wu finished speaking, he handed the seaweed mud to the little grandfather, and then took out another glass bottle and continued to introduce, "These bottles of glass incense are not made by my royal mud workshop, but are imported from France, you always look at this exquisite glass bottle, and then smell this fragrance, fresh and elegant, I heard that in France, only nobles are worthy of this glass incense, a bottle of eighty taels of silver, a bottle of jasmine fragrance, a bottle of rose fragrance, a total of three hundred and twenty taels, if the little grandfather wants to give you three hundred taels." ”

The little grandfather Zhu Ying'an looked at the seaweed mud in his hand over and over again, but he didn't pick up the glass incense in the hand of the shopkeeper Wu, "Fat Wu, you have been smashing this glass incense in your hands for half a year, why are you trying to fool the master with something that can't be sold?" ”

Zhu Youzhen saw that Zhu Ying'an had no intention of buying, so he casually took the glass incense in the hand of the shopkeeper Wu and said, "Shopkeeper, I want these four bottles of perfume, find me a few exquisite boxes to pack them separately, this is three hundred and fifty taels, which is the price of the box." ”

The little grandfather didn't know the goods, but Zhu Youzhen recognized it, what kind of glass bottle is this, it is clearly glass, but in the Ming Dynasty, glass is rarer than glass bottles, and even the palace uses copper mirrors, so it is conceivable where the Ming Dynasty will use glass, and what is in this bottle is not a glass incense, but a perfume.

The shopkeeper Wu saw that someone had bought the perfume, and his face was full of joy, "Childe called this glass incense as a perfume is really vivid, and the small shop will call it glass incense as a perfume in the future, thank you for the name." ”

The glass incense was brought by a few Francophone missionaries, saying that it was the aristocratic gouache of France, and a bottle of buying was one hundred taels, but half a year has passed, but no one has cared about it, almost even if it is smashed in the hand, I wanted to discount the price this time to let the little grandfather dispose of it, but I didn't expect the little grandfather to buy it by someone else.

Although the little grandfather Zhu Ying'an didn't want to be wronged and bought these bottles of perfume, he saw that someone dared to take what he saw, which made him lose face greatly, and he still didn't look at it for hundreds of taels of silver.

"I want these bottles of perfume, Wu Fatzi, together with the seaweed mud for me to wrap together, and the master never likes to wipe the change when he buys things, and the perfume is added to the master to four hundred taels, otherwise don't want to do the master's business in the future." The little grandfather, Zhu Ying'an, handed the seaweed mud back to the shopkeeper Wu.

"Little grandfather, this ......" Shopkeeper Wu was a little embarrassed, he didn't take the seaweed mud or not, and it was equivalent to him agreeing with the little grandfather's statement, but the perfume had been sold to others, and then selling it to the little grandfather was afraid that it would smash the reputation of his century-old store, but if he didn't take it, he was afraid of offending the powerful little grandfather, so the shopkeeper Wu was embarrassed and turned his head to look at Zhu Youzhen.

Zhu Youzhen didn't have a good way to look at the arrogant Zhu Ying'an, he had Li Jinzhong as an entourage, if there were a few more guards, Zhu Ying'an could be beaten up and run away, after all, he paid first, who could go to the palace to find him trouble, and he was beaten in vain, but now he is not manpowered, and the other party has two strong and strong entourage. Pressing him with his identity? He had secretly run out of the palace, and it was even more impossible for him to expose his identity.

Li Jinzhong also had a headache, how could he just happen to meet here, and he had the heart to contribute to his master, but Chengguo Gong was the commander of the Jingying soldiers and horses, and he was powerful and powerful, and even the eunuch who held the seal of the master of ceremonies did not dare to offend easily, let alone that he could afford to offend a eunuch of the Shanggong Bureau, not to mention that his identity could not be exposed.

"Isn't this brother Tai, who looks like a graceful and suave jade tree, the little grandfather of the legendary Chengguo family? When the younger brother first came to the capital, he often heard his brother mention the deeds of the little grandfather, and this perfume didn't the little grandfather also like it? The little brother will give up to the little grandfather, but the little grandfather must not take perfume to send the top cards in the Bada Hutong, the missionaries in Wudaokou have a lot of these things in their hands, and if they have nothing to do, they will take perfume and send a few powders, for fear that the little grandfather will damage your prestige. "The Fifth Highness came up and was stunned by the little grandfather who slapped him on the back.

"Oh? What is the brother's house? What deeds have you heard of? "Zhu Ying'an is a person who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, and when he heard that someone admired him so much, and heard a lot of his deeds, he suddenly came to his senses.

"My cousin Zhang Zhiji has long heard about the little grandfather's poetry meeting in the Green Willow Academy, Feng Laiyi's entry into the hibiscus couch and other deeds, and the little brother admires it very much." Zhu Youzhen This is the first time he has seen Zhu Ying'an, except that he is the son of Chengguo Gong, he has really never heard of it at all, and now it is purely nonsense based on his previous conversation, of course, even his own identity is made up, the identity of the five emperors and grandsons does not dare to be exposed, it is okay to borrow other people's names and use them, is it possible to compare the authenticity of a cousin, Li Jinzhong Naoshu, who watched the performance, gave a thumbs up.

"It turned out to be the cousin of the British public family, did your cousin really say that about me?" The little grandfather Zhu Ying'an was a little puzzled, the Green Willow Courtyard and Fang Congzhe were jealous, what kind of poetry competition, he didn't know how the poems were made at all, let him sing two sentences ten 8 touch it was easy, he was not familiar with poetry, but he would be obscene and wet. As for Feng Laiyi, the little grandfather really hasn't been able to take down Furong at the moment, let alone any guests who have entered the curtain, isn't this just the one who came to buy rouge to curry favor with Furong.

The second generation of the three Gonghuai, Zhu Ying'an and Zhang Zhiji are about the same age but the intersection is limited, the little grandfather of Chengguo likes to visit the eight alleys, and the little grandfather of the British Duke likes to hunt and archery, although he occasionally goes to drink flower wine, but I haven't heard that Zhang Zhiji has found a fan, Zhu Yingan wants to hear that the British public education is very strict, is it because Zhang Zhiji envy my ability to prostitute fans?

"Cousin naturally said so, did I hear it? Cousin isn't talking about the deeds of the little grandfather? Zhu Youzhen pretended to look both adoring and dazed.

"Brother listened well, what your cousin said is exactly what he said, and I will take my brother to Bada Hutong to see and understand when I have the opportunity in the future." Zhu Ying'an held his head high, patted Zhu Youzhen's shoulder very squeezingly, and then instructed the shopkeeper Wu, "Wrap the perfume for this brother and return the silver ticket, isn't the silver paid by the master enough?" ”

Li Jinzhong touched his face with his hand, thinking to himself, this straw bag of Chengguo's family, this time he provoked this young master, there is a chance to be cheated in the future, this is not the first time to lose four hundred taels.

After listening to the words of the little grandfather, Shopkeeper Wu also breathed a sigh of relief, and finally resolved the problem. So he hurriedly returned the silver ticket to Zhu Youzhen, and handed over the wrapped four bottles of perfume by the way.

His Royal Highness took the silver ticket and perfume and turned around and left, without even thanking the little grandfather. After all, Zhu Ying'an, who made His Royal Highness admit it, was still the first, although he was pitted, Zhu Youzhen wrote it down this time, and he would find an opportunity to make this dead fat man suffer some hardships in the future.

Zhu Ying'an looked at the figure that had disappeared outside the door, and always felt that something was wrong but couldn't find a clue.

After leaving the Royal Mudhouse, Zhu Youzhen and Li Jinzhong went shopping for a few more streets and bought a lot of pastries in Zhengmingzhai.

When the two passed by a small store, they saw a blonde and blue-eyed Franco chick at the door of the store, greeting the guests like a Ming person, "Guest officer, please come in and take a look and rest." How did Zhu Youzhen feel awkward when he heard it, a good shop was forced to be shouted out of the feeling of a foreign Qinglou by this Francophone chick.

Zhu Youzhen still walked in, the business of this store is not generally bad, except for Zhu Youzhen, there are no other customers, one is because the location of this store is indeed very partial, and perhaps because this is a watch shop, it is no wonder that there is no business, the Ming Dynasty and European timekeeping methods are different, clocks and watches are completely unworkable in the Ming Dynasty at present, not only few people can understand, even if they understand the right time, it is troublesome, it is not as convenient as watching the sun.

Zhu Youzhen bought two of the best pocket watches, as a person in the 21st century, it is really inconvenient to see the time without a clock, Zhu Youzhen plans to give one to himself and the other to the imperial brother. Perhaps because of the bad business, two gold watches only cost ten taels of silver, that is, five taels of silver a piece, and it is estimated that in addition to the cost of materials and labor, there may be some freight.

The freshness of Zhu Youzhen and Li Jinzhong's shopping has already passed, the sun is a little westerly, and some vendors who are not suitable for setting up stalls at night are also preparing to close their stalls, and the two of them walked towards the archway of Liuli Lane, and it was almost time to prepare to return to the palace.

The Fifth Highness and Li Jinzhong saw from a distance that the five little eunuchs were already waiting under the archway, and after meeting the two, the group went towards the palace, and not far from the palace, Zhu Youzhen and Li Jinzhong changed back into eunuch clothes and hung up the waist card.

When approaching Xihua Gate, Li Jinzhong walked in front, and Zhu Youzhen walked in the end, pushing a waterwheel with his head buried in his head. When he saw the guards guarding the door, Li Jinzhong chuckled in his heart, maybe he was discovered, because the guards were no longer the guards who had been spotted in the morning.

If it's just a replacement, maybe it's possible to get mixed up, because Li Jinzhong, as the chief eunuch of the Shanggong Bureau, knows each other, not to mention that the waist brand clothes are all real, who will verify the authenticity of a little eunuch under the leadership of Li Jinzhong, but it is not normal to change people on duty, not to mention that this is still Zheng Guifei's person.

When Li Jinzhong and the few little eunuchs in front of him passed by, the two guards guarding the door didn't even look at it and let them in, until it was Zhu Youzhen's turn and they were stopped by one of the guards. At this time, His Royal Highness also understood that his trick of sneaking out of the palace for the first time had been exposed.

Since he was seen through, and the guards came straight to him, Zhu You no longer disguised himself, and reprimanded, "Bold, do you know who the master is?" ”

"Your Highness forgives your sins, and at the behest of Your Majesty and Niangniang, you will pass on Your Highness's questioning before the Holy Majesty." The guard who blocked the way replied respectfully, although the Fifth Highness went out of the palace without permission, and it was the order of Niangniang, but the identity of this imperial grandson was there, and this guard still didn't dare to be too rude.

"Lead the way." The Fifth Highness has a kind of enthusiasm for generosity to go to the country at this time.

The guards have the responsibility of guarding the door, so naturally they will not lead the way, and the eunuchs arranged by Concubine Zheng Guifei have already led Zhu Youzhen to the Qianqing Palace, Li Jinzhong is afraid of death, no matter what, he can't escape the involvement, so he simply arranged five little eunuchs and followed the Qianqing Palace to wait for the fate.
