/p> The scribe sent by Mu Fu said his name, was he a priest or a professor? But before Zhu Gaoxu came, his heart was very confused, and he forgot about it. Not long after the scribe said it, Zhu Gaoxu was embarrassed to ask again.

The scribe said: "Rare things are not only collected by Mu Mansion, in Yunnan, Shen Xu Clan has some in Mu Mansion, and Shen Xu Clan may also have Shen Xu Clan that Mu Mansion does not have." ”

"And such people? Who is Shen Xu? Zhu Gaoxu was a little surprised.

For some reason, when this person was mentioned, all the officials were in high spirits, and they were talking about it below. There was also a voice that said: "His Royal Highness the King of Han doesn't know about the Shen Xu clan? ”

Zhu Gaoxu said in his heart: I have only been here for a few days, and it is not normal that I don't know people in Yunnan?

The scribe bowed and said: "Back to His Royal Highness, Shen Xu's family is Shen Wansan's granddaughter-in-law and Xu Fu's ninth granddaughter. ”

mentioned that it was Shen Wansan, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly realized that the legendary capital of the Ming Dynasty, Nanjing, and half of the city were built by Shen Wansan, I thought it was just a story, but I didn't expect that there was such a person.

"Oh." Zhu Gaoxu made a sound.

At this time, Shunchang Bo Wang Zuo looked at the scribe and said: "I heard that Xiping Hou and Shen Xu have something, you go back and ask Xiping Hou and Shen Xu to talk, isn't her family the Mu family?" ”

The scribe hurriedly said, "General Wang doesn't dare to say that!" That Shen Xu is a woman from another family, and she can't defile people's innocence......"

Suddenly, the "hahaha......" in the front hall burst into laughter, and some military attachés didn't care about etiquette, and even burst into tears.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't know where the laughter was, only he was stunned and had no smile on his face.

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly suppressed their laughter, and after a while, the laughter was finally stifled by the people. Someone said: "The prince forgives the sin, just because this official said his innocence to the Shen Xu family, and the last general couldn't help it and was rude." ”

"It's okay, this king doesn't have a rule that prohibits others from laughing." Zhu Gaoxu said.

At this time, this scene made Zhu Gaoxu a little curious, but suddenly no one continued to mention the matter...... Or because that matter is not serious enough, everyone came to visit the King of Han on the first day, and they all felt that such a topic was not elegant?

Zhu Gaoxu didn't want to ask more, he just needed to know that there was such a person's name and that there were many rare treasures in her family, and he didn't care much about other things.

After meeting with local officials, Zhu Gaoxu quickly left the front hall. Other things are handled by the officials of the royal palace chief Shi Si.

…… In the afternoon, Wang Gui, Hou Hai and others returned to the palace, and Zhu Gaoxu summoned Wang Gui and others in the study in the front hall.

Wang Gui stepped forward and said: "Lord Wang, the slave and maid led people to investigate separately, and learned from a medicinal herb merchant that there are indeed thousand-year-old Korean ginseng in Yunnan, and it is a pair!" It was bought by Shen Xu a few years ago. ”

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he thought to himself that the scribes of the Mufu faction did not deceive him, and the Shen Xu clan's financial resources were really strong. He immediately asked, "Can you ask clearly, where is the Shen Xu Clan's mansion and who is in charge of the family?" ”

Wang Gui nodded and said, "The slaves and maids have inquired around clearly, and the Shen Mansion is to the west of Caihaizi (Cuihu). It is said that the Shen family is withered, leaving only the great-granddaughter of Shen Xu and Shen Wansan, and Shen Xiaoniang is not yet an adult, so it may be that Shen Xu is the master......"

"Then her mother must have the final say." Zhu Gaoxu replied casually.

Wang Gui hurriedly said: "The prince forgives the sin, in a hurry, the slave maid failed to find out who is the head of the family, not necessarily Shen Xu's family!" The slave maid heard that Shen Xu's family was Shen Hui's wife, and Shen Xiaoniang was not her biological child. ”

"I see." Zhu Gaoxu nodded.

Speaking of these things, Hou Hai finally couldn't help it, and without waiting for Zhu Gaoxu to ask, he couldn't wait to say:

"Lord Wang, the richest man from the end of the Yuan Dynasty to the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty was Shen Wansan, and the Shen family was rich at that time! His son Shen Mao came to Yunnan and gave birth to a boy and a girl, and his son was Shen Hui; Shen Hui gave birth to his only daughter, Shen Baoyan, who is now the little mother of the Shen family.

Later, Shen Hui's original wife died of illness, and soon Shen Hui continued to be the granddaughter of Xu Fujiu, a native of Xiangyang, who was the Shen Xu family mentioned by Wang Gonggong. She also has a famous child, who is very famous in Yunnan Province, called Xu Manshu. ”

The focus of what Wang Gui said just now was Korean ginseng, but Hou Hai was very interested in gossip, so Hou Hai made the relationship between the Shen family clear after a few words.

Hou Haidao: "Shen Hui has been in poor health since he was a child, and he died of illness after only giving birth to a daughter. Shen Xu is now a widow...... And she's a who can do her best! ”

Hou Hai inquired about other people's family affairs, and he has always been very methodical, and said: "The men in the whole city, from the old man to the teenager, everyone knows the Shen Xu family. Some people say that she slept all over the men of Yunnan Province, so she became famous! ”

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned when he heard this.

Hou Hai continued: "Some people say that she is the reincarnation of a fox spirit, bewitching and bewitching, only harming boys and men, replenishing qi with the sun, and her face is like twenty-eight years old. Some people say that she prefers lowly men who do heavy work, and that grooms, gardeners, housekeepers, and beggars who come to her door to ask for food have all worked with her, and one or two men can easily not satisfy her......

Some people scolded her for being a, the Shen family is not short of money, but the people are withering, and the Shen Xu family only sells powerful people, so no one dares to bully them. ”

Hou Hai lowered his voice at this time and whispered, "One of Hou Musheng's concubines in Xiping has the Shen Xu family!" Shen Xu hooked up with Shangmu Mansion, who would dare to touch her in Yunnan Mansion? The lower officials thought that any vixen was a fallacy, but this woman was very dissolute and beautiful, and there was nothing wrong with it; Otherwise, even if a widow has some right and wrong, she will not become a household name. ”

"Makes sense." Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said, "The most important problem now is that she has thousand-year-old Korean ginseng in her hand, and it is very likely that only she has it." Regardless of whether Divine Doctor Chen is reliable or not, I can only try it right now. How much is a millennial Korean ginseng worth? ”

Wang Gui groaned: "It depends on the weight, four or five hundred taels of real gold and hard goods are always necessary?" Such rare things are hard to come by, and sellers are either reluctant to sell them, or they are willing to sit on the ground and raise prices...... Fortunately, the prince has a big face and reports your name, so Shen Xu's family should not dare to disobey. ”

Hou Haibai said: "The lower officials and others came to the door with the name of the prince to ask?" ”

"Wait!" Zhu Gaoxu raised his hand and said.

Zhu Gaoxu has also led soldiers to fight for several years, and he knows more or less the art of war. He thought about more things than the two people in front of him, and this matter not only had to deal with the Shen Xu clan, but also might involve the Mu Mansion......

After all, it is rumored that Shen Xu and Mu Sheng have hooked up, whether it is true or not, and now Zhu Gaoxu does not understand the situation. It's not a bad thing to be a little more stable for the time being.

Moreover, this Shen Xu clan is indeed very likely to have a lot to do with the Mu Mansion...... Zhu Gaoxu didn't know much about Yunnan Mansion, but he did his homework on Mu Sheng's situation. Mu Sheng has a villa in Caihaizi, and a "willow camp" that raises war horses, since the Shen Mansion is on Caihaizi's side, they are also close to each other.

"If you are only sent there, it will seem too contemptuous, and Shen Xu's family will be unable to distinguish the true from the false for a while, and it will delay the work." Zhu Gaoxu opened his mouth and said, "If I go with the honor guard, it will be a bit of a bully, and I won't give Mu Sheng's concubine face." ”

Zhu Gaoxu simply slapped his palm on the arm of the chair, "Light car Jane, I'll change my clothes and go in person, and bring back the thousand-year-old Korean ginseng for medicine earlier." Wang Gui, go and prepare treasures worth five hundred taels of gold in boxes, gold, silver, copper, jade, pearls, don't take Daming treasure banknotes, to show sincerity. ”

"Slaves obey!" Wang Gui bowed.

Zhu Gaoxu got up and went to change his clothes.

He only cares about the thousand-year-old Korean ginseng, and although Shen Xu is famous, Zhu Gaoxu is not interested in her. A woman who tastes a little vermilion, no matter how beautiful she is, is it so unusual?

After getting ready, Zhu Gaoxu took a carriage out of the palace, with only a dozen people around him. In addition to Wang Gui and Hou Hai, there are more than a dozen men in Chen Dazhui and Zhao Ping's personal guards, all wearing green cloth clothes, combing their hair in a bun and not wearing hats, and they are dressed as domestic servants.

Wang Gui personally drove the car, and Zhu Gaoxu, who was sitting in the carriage, was wearing a lilac satin round-necked robe and a light gray scarf on his head. is not a bluffing dragon robe uniform, but also looks richer, after all, it has to show the strength to spend a lot of money to buy things.

After Zhu Gaoxu left the mansion, he picked up the curtain and looked back at his palace...... Accustomed to seeing the vast mansion of the Beijing Division, he looked at this Han Wangfu again It was really ordinary, but it was indeed much larger than the Beiping County Palace.

The Han Palace, located in the south of Yunnan Province, was basically built according to the system of the Prince's Palace, and there were not many signs of magnificence. The father's promise to "build you a big and good prince's mansion" should be just talking.

…… The group walked north and came to the south of Caihaizi, which is also in the capital of Yunnan; However, this place seems to be relatively remote, and I saw that there are many crops and vegetables planted on the land on the shore and in the middle of the lake, just like in the suburbs.

Fortunately, after walking west for a while, the streets of houses gradually increased.

"Lord Wang, we're here." Hou Hai's voice said.

When the carriage stopped, Zhu Gaoxu got out of the car and looked around. In front of him was a very ordinary gatehouse, with high walls on both sides, and only some overhanging roofs could be seen inside the walls.

There is a plaque on the gatehouse: Shen Mansion.

Just looking at the scale, this mansion is indeed very large, but the appearance is very ordinary, the stone steps at the entrance are covered with moss, and weeds are emerging from the cracks in the stones, and it even feels a little barren.

Zhu Gaoxu watched for a while, and was about to ask Wang Gui to go up and knock on the door, when the door suddenly opened slowly!

Then he saw a group of servants and women coming to the door in two groups, and standing on either side.

He couldn't help but be a little surprised, opening the door was the host's gift to welcome the guests; Before he dared to come to visit, Shen Xu's family already knew that King Han was coming and prepared in advance?

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly felt that in Yunnan Fucheng, this Shen Xu clan might have a little way.

Several slaves carried a long blanket and spread it along the gate to the carriage. When Zhu Gaoxu saw this battle, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned: Damn, I wore a dress to the prince's mansion that day, and I didn't pay so much attention to it!
