Chapter 108: The Imperial Expedition

After graduating from school with His Royal Highness Hongde and returning to the palace, the little emperor was completely with a look of "increasing the amount with his hands", and even his eyebrows were beating faintly: "Hey, it's really the wish of God!" The old man's fall is good! I'm afraid it will take three or five months to be able to turn around? ”

The words "old man" came out of the mouth of the little emperor for the first time, and the tone of schadenfreude was unprecedented.

The little emperor felt slightly strange, and glanced at Xiao Lizi, seeing that he looked stunned, his eyes wandered, like a frightened rabbit, and even a little trembling.

"Have you lost your soul?"

Xiao Lizi was stunned, came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "Long live the Lord forgive your sins, slave...... Distracted. ”

After a pause, he lowered his voice and said, "The slave is thinking, that medicine ...... Uh, no, the weight of that thing, is it going to be, uh, a little bit more? The fall of the Wazhongtang is so scary, in case it ......"

"Where are there so many 'what ifs'?" The little emperor said impatiently, "The little eunuch who beat Buku, who vomited blood with broken arms and legs, is commonplace, didn't you see that one really fell to death?" Your guts are as big as the rabbit master! ”

Xiao Lizi stopped talking.

"That medicine from Xu Baotian," the little emperor said with great interest, "it really works!" I sent the old man home in one go! Tell him to work hard to send a messenger, and the benefits will be great in the future. ”

“…… Be. ”

"By the way, isn't that thing also made? Show me! ”

Xiao Lizi subconsciously looked around. And then. Untie your own shirt. Reaching into his arms, he fumbled for a long time, took out a palm-sized wooden card, and handed it to the little emperor with both hands.

This is a rectangular oak card, a total of four lines of words, the middle two lines are raised Yang, one line is "Tai Chi Palace" three words, one line is "Tongzhi five years of manufacturing" six words; The leftmost row. It reads, "The third-class deacon is thirteen years old," and the line to the far right reads, "The eyes are large, the face is white, and the cheeks are high."

"Yo!" The tone of the little emperor was quite pleasantly surprised, "It's like that!" ”

After looking at it over and over for a while, I suddenly remembered: "Hey, I'll take your waist card!" ”

Two waist cards, one in one hand, and together.

"I really can't see anything different!" The little emperor nodded again and again, "This surname is Xu." The craftsmanship is not bad! ”

"The slave thanked Xu Baotian for the praise of the long live master."

"Well, your messenger. It's not bad! ”

"Long live you."

"Big eyes, white face, high cheeks, no need to ...... Hehe, this looks like mine! ”

After playing for a while, he looked at Xiao Lizi, then looked at the waist card, and suddenly laughed: "The two signs both write 'no need' - this is not nonsense, eunuch, of course there is no beard!" ”

Belch......

"Hey, don't you still have a set of clothes? Take it out, I'll wear it through and look at it, and it's a 'drill'! ”

This set of clothes is the clothes that Xiao Lizi prepared for the little emperor and went out of the palace to make a "noble son's dress".

The clothes were fetched, a rose-purple gray squirrel skin robe, a baturu vest of pale green tribute satin, a row of coral buttons on the flat shoulders, a black satin hat, the knot of the hat was also coral, and in the middle of the brim, there was a piece of glass jade, the whole body was green, so thick that it seemed to be dripping down.

This set of clothes, just the piece of jade on the brim of the hat, is not a thousand gold, the little emperor is very satisfied, but he did not ask Xiao Lizi, where did this come from?

Of course, even if he asked, Xiao Lizi would say, "Xu Baotian will repay." ”

Tie the lake-colored silk belt, and then hang several pieces of the bright yellow purse, embroidered watch bag, jade jue, jade ring, etc. that you use on weekdays, and stop dressing up.

Xiao Lizi praised on the side: "Long live the Lord this dress up, tsk, it's really called 'Pianpian Turbidity Shijia Gongzi'!" According to the minion, even Cheng Belle can't compare! ”

More handsome than Zaicheng, this is the little emperor's favorite words, his face is flying gold, and Xiao Lizi continues to tout: "To those 'interesting' places, those ...... Hehe, Red Girl, seeing a talent like Banzai Ye, isn't it all ...... Rushed up together? Tut-tut! ”

As a result, the little emperor had a smiling face, shining with golden light, and he was almost a little unable to control himself.

"But...... Hey hey ......"

"But what?"

"Long live the lord, this pair of purses can't be used."

The little emperor was stunned for a moment, looked down, and understood.

Xiao Lizi untied the bright yellow purse for the little emperor, and replaced it with a pair of Shi Qingping gold purses, and the little emperor took a photo before and after, and there were no flaws.

"Good!" The little emperor in the dressing mirror, his eyes were burning, "Everything is ready, I will 'drive the expedition' tomorrow!" ”

Bada Hutong, Hanjiatan, Hongyun Inn.

"Eight Hutongs" refers to Xiaoli Shamao Hutong, Zhumao Hutong, Wang Guangfu Xiejie, Rouge Hutong, Stone Hutong, Shaanxi Lane, Hanjiatan, Baishun Hutong and other eight alleys in a narrow sense, and in a broad sense, it refers to the fireworks and dust in the area of Qianmen Dashilar.

is the same place of sound and color, and the grade is different. The first class is called the "Qingyin Small Class", in which the girls are not only good at color and art, but also can write and paint; The second class is called the "tea room", and the level of the girls is slightly inferior to that of the "Qingyin small class", but they can always occupy a head in color or art; The third class, commonly known as "kiln", is called this name, and it is not good to be too picky when you come here for recreation.

In addition to the "Qingyin Small Class", "Tea Room", and "Kiln", there is also a first-class place, called "Xiaxia", which is the residence of the "Jiao'er" of each skin yellow team, and most of these "Jiao'er" have another identity, that is, "Xianggong". "Below" is where people who like male style sell money.

Fish looking for fish, shrimp looking for shrimp, rich and poor get together, the first-class "Qingyin small class" is mostly in Hanjiatan and Baishun Hutong, the second-class "tea room" is mostly in the stone alley and Zhumao alley, and the third-class "kiln" is mostly in the Xiaoli Shamao alley, Wang Guangfu Xiejie and Shaanxi lane.

As for the "lower place", it is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, scattered in the eight major alleys. The first-class ones are not inferior to the first-class Qingyin small class, and the last ones are no better than the kilns.

Straight to the point.

"Red Cloud Inn" is a three-in-two-way house, in Hanjiatan's "Qingyin Small Class", the benefactor is recognized, the ranking can enter the top three, the door is busy every day, and the door is constantly singing every night.

The "top brand" girl of the Red Cloud Inn, the name is even interesting, called "Jiang Xian'er", today, the room of "Jiang Xian'er", as always, is lively, one of the largest timber merchants in Beijing City, "Khan Sanye", in her "called Tiaozi", a room of benefactors, girls, wine and flowers, string songs are noisy, and it is very lively.

The real name of "Han Sanye" is Wang Jiahan, Xingsan, medium stature, not very obese, and he doesn't like to sweat much, but "Han Sanye" screamed and shouted, and behind his back, he became "Khan Sanye". This nickname seems to be a little indecent, but the "Third Master of Khan" has a good temper and has always believed in "harmony and wealth", and he doesn't think about this nickname at all, and sometimes, he will make fun of himself.

In the middle of the room, a large mahogany round table was placed, and six guests were seated, and a girl sat next to each guest. Today's "Third Master Khan" is the master, accompanied by the next master, and the first in the middle is the guest he invited to today's banquet, Lang Qiyou, a member of the Construction Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The Construction Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is in charge of the construction and repair of the palace, and is the No. 1 patron of the timber merchants in the capital, this Qi You is the real power of the Construction Division, "Khan Sanye" stammered up, spared no effort, and the two of them got along very well, "Khan Sanye" to Qi You, a mouthful of "Uncle Qi" called, Qi You called him "Han Sange", very polite, but also very affectionate.

Originally, the "Third Master of Khan" only invited Qi You alone, but the matter of eating flowers and wine is interesting when it is lively, and the temper of Qi You's uncle, as soon as he enters the house and sits down, he has to call friends. Today's flower wine, "Khan Sanye" is only to contact feelings, and there is no important matter to ask Qi You to do, so he readily agreed.

The two of them each flew notes, Qi You called a bookkeeper nicknamed "Mao Jian'er" in the household department, and "Khan Sanye" called the shopkeeper of a silver number named "Wan Tongheng" - coincidentally, also surnamed Wan. Mao Jian'er and Wan shopkeeper arrived, and felt that people were still a little less, so Mao and Wan wrote their own notes, Mao Jian'er called a clerk surnamed Yang in the Ministry of Officials, and Wan shopkeeper called a Sun shopkeeper who did porcelain business - this Sun shopkeeper also did the business of "putting Beijing accounts", which is half of the peers of Wan shopkeeper.

This group of people are all familiar with each other, and they are all frequent visitors to Bada Hutong, so this meal of flower wine is really lively.
