Chapter 78: Active Endorsement
Zhu Bajie led people to carry two large boxes in, and opened them in public, and everyone only felt that there was a burst of colors in front of them, so bewitching.
There are not many people who know this bra, and Princess Taiping couldn't help but blush when she saw it, "Xue Lang, you are ......"
Do you want me to wear a new one every day?
Xue Shao smiled and said, "Your Highness, the minister said, these are used to give favors to His Highness." ”
"What do you mean?" Princess Taiping was puzzled.
Xue Shao said: "Your Highness may wish to reward these bras to these female officials and palace maids around you, and give them to the women in and outside the palace." ”
The women are all women with "ranks", and they are divided into inside and outside. The inner concubine refers to the emperor's concubine and the female official of the Sixth Bureau. Outside wives refer to the wives and mothers-in-law of those ministers and officials.
Princess Taiping blinked, and her mouth flickered, "No! ”
"For what?" Xue Shao asked curiously.
"Because ......" Princess Taiping paused, her face seemed to feel a little hot, "Because only the noble Queen and Princess of the Tang Dynasty can wear bras!" ”
Xue Shaoha smiled, "Your Highness, as the saying goes, it is better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone. Since it's a beautiful and practical thing, why don't princesses let it benefit people? In this way, women all over the world will be grateful for the kindness of the princess, and the women of future generations will also remember the good name of the princess, isn't this a good thing? ”
It seems to make some sense...... Princess Taiping pursed her lips and smiled treacherously, "Xue Lang, do you want to make a lot of money?" ”
"Huh?" Xue Shao was unexpectedly stunned.
Princess Taiping grinned, "There shouldn't be anyone in this world who is afraid of having a lot of money, right?" Even my father, the emperor, once thought about taking the horse dung of the imperial garden eunuch outside the palace to sell it for money, but was dissuaded by the minister, saying that the Son of Heaven could not sell dung? You say it's not funny! ”
Xue Shao couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth twice, could it be that Princess Taiping also wanted to fight with me for a piece of the pie?
"It has always been an upward and downward effect, but all the things used by the royal family, the Shi clan and the people will inevitably follow and follow, and it will soon become a trend." Princess Taiping smiled proudly and said, "If this palace really rewards these two boxes of bras, it won't be long before it will be popular all over the world!" - Xue Lang, do I have a point? ”
"Makes perfect sense." Xue Shao nodded with a smile, "But, isn't Your Highness also short of money to spend?" "It's always been lacking, and it will be even more in the future." Princess Taiping smiled mysteriously, "Although the world belongs to my Li family, the second sage can't use the treasury casually if he wants to spend money, and can only withdraw it from his own private money, and thousands of people in the harem are privately raised by the second sage, and I am no exception." Since it is my own money that is spent on the private affairs of my father and mother, I will always be a little timid. Every expense of the harem is carefully registered and strictly controlled, even if I am a princess, if I want money, I must go through my mother's approval and then be allocated by the palace bureau of the province in the palace; Where the money is spent, a pen must also be recorded and reported in detail. If I don't spend it properly, the queen will blame me - you say, am I short of money to spend? ”
"I see...... Xue Shao blinked his eyes with sudden realization, the economic system in the harem turned out to be like this. Well, it turns out that Princess Taiping, the rich second generation of the No. 1 Tianzi, will also have financial constraints and troubles!
"In the future, I will move to live outside the palace, although the queen of heaven will give me some rewards to make me worry about food and clothing, but I will have to make a living by myself from now on, do you say that I will be even more short of money at that time?" Princess Taiping smiled and said, "I don't want to sit and eat the sky, so ...... I've been secretly making money and saving money! ”
"Wouldn't it be too easy for Her Royal Highness the Princess to make money?" Xue Shao asked curiously.
"On the contrary, it's hard!" Princess Taiping pursed her lips and said, "Because I have a father and a queen mother, an unmarried princess can no longer save private wealth except for food, land and rewards, otherwise it is unfilial; Those ministers will also keep an eye on me, and if they know that I have collected money in private, they will spread it around, and even give the two saints advice to vigorously dissuade and criticize. You don't know how much they can make a fuss about - once I asked someone to secretly take some pearl flowers I didn't like to sell them in the West Market, and I was broken by an imperial history, and he actually counted down for half an hour above the court. The second saint could only swallow his anger, and after suffering the most, he praised him in public. When I returned to the harem, the queen mother scolded me! ”
Xue Shaoha laughed, it seems that the people of the royal family are not omnipotent. They sit on the throne and are supervised by the people of the world, bound by higher moral terms. In particular, the Li family has the glorious tradition of "taking responsibility for oneself and obeying advice" handed down by Li Shimin, and the royal behavior is subject to more supervision and constraints.
Xue Shao seemed to remember at this time, there seemed to be a record in the history books that Princess Taiping's big boat selling silk had blocked the river, and the "Princess Taiping of Zhenguo" in the later part of her career was even richer than the country. She can have such a strong "economic consciousness" should have been influenced by her mother since she was a child.
Nowadays, there are many princes and ministers who secretly engage in business in private. The business environment in the Tang Dynasty has been much more relaxed than in previous dynasties, and people's consciousness and perception of "merchants" have also changed somewhat. Of course, this is inseparable from the fact that Empress Wu was born in a merchant family.
"Don't laugh!" Seeing Xue Shao laughing so jokingly, Princess Taiping seemed to be a little angry.
"Since there are so many inconveniences, why does Your Highness still want to make money by committing crimes against the wind?" Xue Shao said with a smile.
"What does it mean to commit a crime against the wind, it is so ugly!" Princess Taiping was angry and funny, "Do you think I am willing?" …… But if you want to spend money, you have to reach out to your parents to ask for it, but if it is you, are you willing? This money has to be your own money to spend it safely and comfortably! ”
"This is the truth." Xue Shaoha laughed.
Princess Taiping's eyebrows fluttered, "Xue Lang, why don't we take advantage of this bra to make a lot of money!" ”
Xue Shao thought to himself, maybe Li Xianyuan, the "traitor", had already reported my private business to the queen of heaven, and it was not surprising that Princess Taiping could know some inside information. I don't mind sharing the interests with her, if she takes the initiative to endorse this "business promoter", of course, it will get twice the result with half the effort!
"Xue Lang?"
"Good!" Xue Shao agreed, and said with a smile, "The minister will go to Zhang Luo for Her Royal Highness the Princess." If you make money, you will definitely give it to Your Highness! ”
"No, you don't." The corners of Princess Taiping's mouth rose slightly, revealing a warm and shy smile, "It's all yours." ”
Xue Shao blinked unexpectedly, "This is not appropriate." ”
"It must be right."
"For what?"
Princess Taiping smiled mysteriously, "I also sell Guanzi!" ”
Xue Shao smiled, the little princess learns things very quickly, and she used my tricks so quickly...... Looking at this situation, Princess Taiping probably knows about my private business, and the queen of Zhilu Dao has no objection to this. Otherwise, she wouldn't have volunteered.
All the money I earn is mine? …… Hehe, does the implication mean that they will become relatives in the future, that is, a family will not distinguish each other?
"Someone." Princess Taiping suddenly called.
"Your Highness, please."
Princess Taiping said: "The palace wants to feast on foreign women of more than three grades in Chang'an in this Yixin Palace." Tomorrow's luncheon, hurry up and prepare! ”
"Yes......"
Xue Shao laughed, the Taiping Gong was really resolute in taking care of things, quite her mother's style. The two saints set up a banquet in the Qide Hall to celebrate their achievements, and they also invited the noble officials above the five grades in Beijing; Princess Taiping set up a banquet but only invited more than three foreign women, "Fan'er" is really not small!
"Xue Lang, will you accompany me to Qujiang?" Princess Taiping smiled sweetly, obviously in a beautiful mood.
Xue Shao looked outside, "It's raining!" ”
"Wouldn't that be more poetic?" Princess Taiping's voice was very soft, and her face was red and simple.
Xue Shao was a little embarrassed, I also asked Pei Xingjian to fish together in the afternoon!
"Xue Lang is in trouble?" Princess Taiping's mind can be described as delicate, and she found it at once.
"To tell you the truth, I made an appointment with someone to do something in the afternoon." Xue Shao said bluntly, "Therefore, I'm afraid it's not convenient to accompany His Highness for too long today." ”
Princess Taiping frowned slightly, "Is it a very important thing?" ”
"It's more important."
"Can I know the way?"
Xue Shao couldn't help but smile, compared to when they first met, Princess Taiping had obviously changed, and she knew that Lu Dao used "question sentences" instead of directly dictating to me.
After thinking about it, Xue Shao said: "Actually, I made an appointment with Pei Xingjian. ”
"Pei Xingjian?" Princess Taiping seemed a little surprised and displeased, and frowned slightly, "Would you rather see a little old man than accompany me?" ”
"Your Highness, if you had informed me earlier, I would not have made an appointment with Pei Xingjian in advance." Xue Shao said, "A gentleman's words are difficult to chase, just as I promised His Highness that things will inevitably be done, I can't break Pei Xingjian's appointment!" ”
Princess Taiping bit her lip and nodded reluctantly, "Okay then......"
The little princess is indeed different from the past, not so arrogant and domineering! …… Xue Shaoting nodded with satisfaction and smiled, "Thank you Your Highness for your understanding!" ”
"But there's still a lot of time until the afternoon!" Princess Taiping smiled gracefully, "Can you play backgammon with me?" Then we've had lunch together before you go! ”
"Okay."
"Call Wan'er to keep a record!"
Backgammon originated in Persia (present-day Iran) and became popular when it was introduced to the Central Plains, becoming one of the "hundred plays" of the imperial palace. This kind of chess is quite complicated to play, and someone needs to calculate the score from the side, which is called "chip".
On the chessboard, Princess Taiping and Xue Shao sat on each other like two commanders commanding soldiers and horses, Shangguan Wan'er was ordered to sit on one side to plan for money, and there were palace maids on the other side to make tea and serve.
The tea utensils used in the palace are really high-end and luxurious, and the gold pots, silver chopsticks, jade bowls, and porcelain are all high-grade treasures.
Princess Taiping was in a happy mood and was quite interested, and her eyes lit up a little when she had fun. Xue Shao patiently accompanied Princess Taiping to play chess, and inadvertently glanced at Shangguan Wan'er on the side. She wore a luxurious and gorgeous court dress today, with full breasts and a graceful jade body, extremely charming and enchanting!
Princess Taiping was happy and attentive, and Shangguan Wan'er was also very restrained and peaceful, only occasionally giving Xue Shao a slight smile without showing a trace.
Xue Shao couldn't help but laugh in his heart, why do I seem to have a little bit of a feeling of "cheating"? .
