As long as it is sunny in Yunnan, the sky is blue sky and white clouds.

Zhu Gaoxu packed up early in the morning and walked to the carrier door in a corset. As usual, he had to run with the weights with the soldiers.

Princess Guo Yan and a group of women walked to the gatehouse of the carrier, and they bent their knees together to send Zhu Gaoxu.

"Excuse me." Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand. His gaze lingered on Yao Ji's face for a moment, and he couldn't help but say to himself: If you talk about beauty, except for Miaojin, there is really no one who can compare with Yao Ji.

Under the morning sun on a sunny day, her face was faintly shining with the streamer of youth, which was very gorgeous and dazzling. She also seemed to notice Zhu Gaoxu's gaze, and raised her head quietly, facing his eyes.

Zhu Gaoxu quickly dodged Yao Ji's bright eyes, and only said one sentence to Guo Wei: "You all go back, and the princess will go slowly when she returns to the palace." ”

Guo Wei thanked her. When Zhu Gaoxu turned around, he heard them say, "Congratulations to the prince." ”

In this palace where wives and concubines are in the same house, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't find any other way, so he had to abide by some rules at this time, respecting the inferior and the young in an orderly manner; Otherwise, it will definitely be very troublesome at home.

At this time, he thought of his father Zhu Di and the arrangements for his sons, probably because of the rules and regulations. Zhu Di's favorite son should be Gao Sui, but Gao Sui is not the crown prince.

So Zhu Gaoxu couldn't just care about his preferences in the palace harem, and he thought very clearly in his heart.

First of all, we must maintain the authority and status of Princess Guo Wei. After all, she is Zhu Gaoxu's wife, and she married at the age of fourteen, and she and Zhu Gaoxu share weal and woe.

followed by Yao Ji and Du Qianrui. No matter what their identities are, Zhu Gaoxu always remembers the warmth in those tribulations.

At this time, he thought of Miaojin, but his heart was in a mess......

Zhu Gaoxu and his soldiers ran on the wide brick floor in the front hall of the Han Palace, for nearly half an hour. He went to the small courtyard corridor behind the study in the front hall, washed off his sweat and changed his clothes, drank tea and ate snacks, and then went to the study to do business.

Except for the ten-day holiday, he is like this almost every day, and the generals and guards of the three guards can get along with him day and night.

If it weren't for that, he estimated that he would have been blessed a long time ago, and the eldest brother prince had been inactive for a long time because of his inconvenient legs and feet, and he ate well, so he grew into that appearance.

When running with weights, Zhao Ping, as a pro-guard general, was also in the team. When Zhu Gaoxu bathed and changed clothes and came to the study, Zhao Ping also changed into a suit of armor, he put the saber outside the door, and walked in with a "ding-ding-clang".

Zhao Ping hugged his fists and said: "According to the meaning of the prince, the military households of the Yunnan Guard Station are more familiar with the mountains, and the last general has selected one hundred people from the guard, and fifty guards from the palace, and they are ready, and today they will escort the merchants and miners to Mengyang to comfort the envoy!" ”

"Very good." Zhu Gaoxu also advised, "Dusi signed an alliance with Sijia, and we have the right to monopolize the jade pits in the Mengyang area. Now only jadeite has been found in the land of Mengyang, and when Zhao Baihu arrives in the local area, he must send someone to keep an eye on it, and no one else is allowed to open the mine. ”

Zhao Ping saluted: "Order!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu nodded.

Zhao Ping bowed and said, "The last general has left." ”

"I hope Zhao Baihu and other brothers will have a smooth trip." Zhu Gaoxu said kindly.

Only when the ridge is broken will there be profiteering. Besides, now the jadeite is not famous, and it is not much recognized by the world, if it has just been mined, there are several competing prices, so what is there to make money?

In addition, because jadeite has just been discovered, many high-quality ores are available, and it is easier for everyone to find rare and good minerals at first.

Therefore, Zhu Gaoxu specifically told Zhao Ping that the pit he discovered was not allowed to be touched by other people.

After Zhao Ping left, Zhu Gaoxu picked up his pen and wrote a letter to Shen Xu's to discuss the operation of jadeite.

……

As Zhu Gaoxu expected, the jadeite pit that has never been mined is the easiest to find rare treasures.

The first batch of jade mines were dug out from the pit discovered by Meng Yang's Xuanwei Envoy, and after arriving at Yongchang Mansion in the warehouse of Tengchong Qianhu, the Shen family selected two pieces of ore that could not be found in it.

One of the finest pieces of material was made into a round jade pendant and a jade bracelet.

The two things are crystal clear and sparkling, but the color is very vivid emerald green...... Very rare! Generally, the jadeite of the ice species is transparent, so it is not easy to produce jade; The glutinous seed is easy to emerge green, but it appears slightly cloudy. And these two pieces of jadeite, Zhu Gaoxu has never even seen them.

He could only speculate that they were the legendary glass species?

Shen Xu's opened in one of the largest jade buildings in Kunming, and this set of jade objects was sold directly above it under the name "Match Made in Heaven" for 30,000 yuan or gold and silver.

On the first day of the opening of the Jade Tower, the treasure was bought. The news spread quickly, and for a while, the dignitaries and dignitaries in the city were asking who bought the jade.

…… Soon after Zhu Gaoxu became a vassal in Yunnan at the beginning of last year, his seventeenth uncle Zhu Quan was also sealed to Nanchang.

At the beginning of the "Battle of Jingyan", Zhu Di's promise was to share the world equally with Zhu Quan; At the beginning of Yongle, Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, did not mention that matter very interestingly, and only asked to be sealed in Suzhou or Hangzhou. But no matter what, in the end, King Ning still went to Nanchang.

Uncle Seventeen is not a few years older than Zhu Gaoxu, likes to read, is proficient in music and opera, and is said to have raised thousands of operas at home.

Last year, Zhu Gaoxu wrote a letter describing the story of "The Peony Pavilion" and some lyrics, and asked King Ning to arrange this play. During this period, several letters were exchanged, and recently King Ning finally sent Changshi to send the script of the play.

The person who bought the "match made in heaven" was none other than King Ning's long history.

So Zhu Gaoxu summoned King Ning Changshi in the Han Palace, wanting to buy this thing for 50,000 yuan. The palace of the Han Dynasty invited officials, celebrities, and wealthy businessmen in Kunming to watch the ceremony with their daughters, and Zhu Gaoxu accepted the treasure of King Ning's long history in public in the front hall.

In front of everyone's eyes, Zhu Gaoxu ordered someone to carry out two boxes of silver and put them on the main hall. King Ning Changshi is also a wonderful person, and he took his entourage to count the silver in the main hall. A silver ingot of white flowers dangled in front of everyone's eyes, dazzling to see, and even more vulgar.

After a long time, the silver was finally counted. King Ning Changshi presented the "match made in heaven" in the carved rosewood to the public seat.

The open wooden box was placed on the public table, and the guests and ladies in the main hall were many people who stretched their necks to take a look, but they were too far away for anyone to see clearly.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Come on, call someone in, put it on and take a look." ”

The eunuch Wang Gui hugged the dust and said, "The slave obeys." ”

After a while, Yao Ji, a stunning beauty who had already been prepared, walked into the main hall lightly. There was a sigh of embarrassment from the main hall, if it weren't for the fact that everyone in the Han Palace's mansion didn't dare to make a noise, I'm afraid the uproar would be more than that.

Everyone's eyes were suddenly attracted by Yao Ji again. They can't see jade clearly, but they can see people clearly.

I saw Yao Ji wearing a goose-yellow skirt, light yellow silk, graceful and luxurious, with a bit of elegance; There is no jewelry embellishment, which is originally reserved for the consideration of jadeite jewelry, but it makes her more reserved.

Everyone held their breath, people may have never seen such a bright and moving little lady in Yunnan.

"The concubine came to see the prince." Yao Ji's face was red, and she showed a little embarrassed shyness when she was noticed.

Zhu Gaoxu pointed to the wooden box in front of him and said, "You put on this match made in heaven and let this king take a look." ”

Yao Ji slowly bent her knees and said, "Yes." ”

When she stretched out her jade-white hand, she raised her head again and said softly, "Can you really wear a concubine?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment, because when he was preparing to act, he didn't have this line.

After all, it is a rare treasure, and Yao Ji should want to wear it; She still asked softly, which seemed superfluous, but again showed a very submissive gesture. Yao Ji's character is not really submissive, but she shows her subtle grace and understatement vividly.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and looked at her expectantly. She carefully and gently picked up the jade and put it on her belt, and slid the jade bracelet into her wrist.

The colors on Yao Ji's body are even brighter. There were wide windows on both sides of the hall, and the east sun shone right on her, and her black hair was shiny, and she looked forward to her shining black eyes, jade white skin, scarlet lips, and goose-yellow clothes...... and bright green jade pendants and bracelets, the color is shiny and gorgeous, which is amazing.

Many of the ladies in the main hall had their eyes straight. Like the beauty from the heavenly palace without a single flaw, how many women dream of having it.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at it for a while, patted the armrest, looked back at the guests and said with a smile: "Although this king spent 50,000 yuan, it seems that this 'match made in heaven' is worth the price." Humanity is gold, jade is priceless, it is hard to find, and it is worthy of its name. ”

There was a burst of compliments in the main hall, and many people saluted to congratulate the King of Han on obtaining a rare treasure.

Zhu Gaoxu waved her hand and told Yao Ji to stand down wearing jade, her face was a little shy and excited, and she walked through the entire hall next to the public seat and went out through the main entrance of the hall. It seems that she has just left the carrying hall, and has actually shown it once in front of all the guests and ladies.

Everyone almost watched Yao Ji's figure leave the temple gate.

At this time, the sound of drums played, and the banquet of the royal palace began, in order to celebrate the joy of the Han king's treasure.

…… When Zhu Gaoxu returned to the front palace, he couldn't help but say to Guo Wei: "Today, I show all the guests the 'match made in heaven', Wei'er is a princess, and it is not suitable for that kind of occasion. I did this just to hype up the value of jadeite. ”

Unexpectedly, Guo Wei smiled and said: "Don't worry, prince, the concubine should not show her head easily." ”

Zhu Gaoxu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This set of 'match made in heaven', whether it is the Han Wangfu or the Ning Wangfu, cannot be owned. I'll ask Du Qianrui to come over in a while, and it's okay for you to wear it and play with it. ”

Guo Wei smiled and nodded.

Zhu Gaoxu said kindly: "Meng Yangxuan's envoy is still mining the mine, and he will definitely be able to find rare treasures in the future." ”

Guo Wei asked in a low voice: "That Ning Wang Changshi bought a match made in heaven, is it also the intention of the prince?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile: "Of course, the value of a thing needs to be confirmed by constantly changing hands and raising the price. Whether it's me or King Ning, if you really want a certain treasure, there is a way, why spend so much money to buy it? ”

……

……

(Xifeng returned to Beijing in the middle of the night last night, and returned to Chengdu today, and resumed normal updates after a little rest when he got home.)

A while ago, the annual meeting was held, and it was often interrupted, which was really a last resort; It's not that Zephyr has a bad attitude and doesn't say hello to everyone...... At that time, there were two situations, one was that some book friends didn't see it, because they didn't update it, they could only say it in the book review area or group; One is to make up your mind and tell yourself that you must code a chapter before you sleep, but you are too tired with the group and sometimes you accidentally fall asleep.

It's like last night I swore that I wanted to update, but I had a terrible headache when I took a plane, and the quality of a chapter was too poor, and I really didn't dare to send it. This chapter was later recoded. Without further ado, I'm going to catch a plane and go back to Chengdu today.

Anyway, I'm sorry everyone. The west wind was also very anxious, and I knew very well in my heart what was most important, except for the reader and the book itself, everything else was floating clouds. I respectfully ask the book lovers, you must forgive the west wind and continue to like my books. I'm not going to slack off. ）
