Chapter 146, Is This Your Thing?

For example, bean sprouts hold up Buddha statues and the like.

Of course, this idea is just rhetoric for now.

Because it takes time for the bean sprouts to lift up the stone slab or Buddha statue.

It's not something that can be done in a moment, so it's better to save it for later.

Shen Mu didn't know how many days Zhu Houzhao, the bear child, would stay in Nanjing City.

But presumably, Wei Guogong, as well as the eunuchs and Ye Qianhu in Nanjing, they don't want His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to continue to stay in Nanjing City for longer.

After all, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in Nanjing City for a day, they will be afraid for a day, even if it is in the Wei State Mansion, there is no complete guarantee that it will be safe.

Now the news of the prince's departure from the palace is still in the stage of secrecy, and few people know about it.

They naturally hoped that before the news spread, when it did not attract the attention of the Chinese military officials, they secretly and safely sent the prince back to the palace.

At that time, as long as the prince goes back, presumably those courtiers will not be able to make any waves.

They can sleep soundly, too.

But the problem is that before that, they must find a way to do the work of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can return to the palace willingly.

Instead of being forced back to the palace by them.

Therefore, the three bigwigs actually discussed it to the end last night, and they didn't discuss a proper method.

You can only write a secret letter to Emperor Hongzhi first and listen to Emperor Hongzhi's will.

On the second day, after Shen Mu got up, before he had time to freshen up, he went to a toilet and saw a familiar person in Wei Guogong's small courtyard.

This person is none other than Liang Baihu himself.

But the difference between Liang Baihu at this moment and Liang Baihu in his impression is too great.

After simple makeup, Liang Baihu, who was originally imposing, turned into a gardener in the Wei State Mansion.

Although he is quite tall, he walks with a bent waist.

Moreover, the gardener was also taking great pains to tidy up the small flower bed in the side yard.

If it weren't for Shen Mu's familiarity with Liang Baihu, he really wouldn't have recognized the other party.

Last night, Ye Qianhu said that he would send a few people into the Wei State Mansion, and he also knew that the Jinyi Guard who had entered the mansion might contact him.

But he definitely didn't expect that this person would be Liang Baihu.

It can be seen how concerned Ye Qianhu is about the safety of Zhu Houzhao, the bear child.

Obviously, he didn't want more people to know the news that the prince was in Nanjing.

Even Han Lin, Meng Yun, Xiao Qi, and other people that Shen Mu is still familiar with, are probably hiding it.

"My lord, why are you here?"

When he saw his boss, he couldn't help but go up and say hello.

Hearing this, Liang Baihu straightened up, glared at him and said, "What, can't I come?" ”

"I didn't ...... The kid was just a little surprised. ”

"Don't be surprised, I'll be in your small courtyard all day today, you can come to me at any time if you have anything."

"Yes, sir."

Shen Mu looked at the room where Liu Sandao's master and apprentice lived next door, but saw that the doors and windows were closed, he looked up at the sky, it's not early, isn't it early yet, hasn't the master and apprentice gotten up yet?

After all, this person followed him into the Wei State Mansion, so he walked past the other party's door and knocked on the door.

At this time, the housekeeper of the Wei Mansion walked in from the courtyard and saw Shen Mu and said, "Shen Gongzi is looking for that Liu Sandao master and apprentice?" ”

"yes, why haven't they gotten up yet?"

"So that Shen Gongzi learned that Liu Sandao's master and apprentice suffered from a cold and fever last night, in order not to give the little boy and my little grandfather a bad time. Grandpa Guo ordered the master and apprentice to be temporarily separated, and the two of them rested in another courtyard. ”

"Oh, thank you Steward Xu for telling me."

Shen Mu knew that under normal circumstances, Liu Sandao's master and apprentice would not really get a wind chill so coincidentally, someone must have done it.

This hands-on person is either Jinyiwei or Wei Guogong's orders.

Maybe it was tacit approval from both sides.

Obviously, they felt that the appearance of the master and apprentice in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was a bit too much of an eyesore.

In fact, Shen Mu also felt that the existence of this Liu Sandao master and apprentice was a bit cumbersome now.

At least it hindered him from revealing his identity as a Jinyiwei in front of Zhu Houzhao, a bear child.

Now, if you suffer from the wind cold, you will suffer from the wind cold.

Sometimes it wasn't necessarily a good thing for the two of them to know more things.

It's also a good thing to isolate them, presumably it's just a temporary house arrest, and there will be no fear of their lives.

"Shen Gongzi, since Liu Sandao's master and apprentice suffered from the cold, the subsequent performance for the little boy depends on you alone, but what needs to be prepared by the villain, but please command."

"Steward Xu is polite, if there is a request, he will say it clearly."

Shen Mu knew that if he hadn't been in the eyes of Zhu Houzhao, a bear child, how could a housekeeper like the Duke of Wei take a small brocade cloth in his eyes, let alone speak so politely to him.

……

"Huh! Are you Shen Mu? When Zhu Houzhao and Xu Pengju arrived in front of the stage together, they saw Shen Mu standing in front of the platform.

During yesterday's performance, Shen Mu painted some oil paint on his face, which has the same principle as modern camouflage, and can see the contours of his face, but it is not easy to see his face clearly.

Not to mention, he also deliberately put a mustache on his chin, just so that people would not see his real age.

But when I went to see Wei Guogong and them last night, I removed the disguise on my face.

Today, thinking that he wanted to show the identity of Jinyiwei in front of Zhu Houzhao, the bear child, he didn't have too much disguise on his face, and decided to treat the other party with his true face.

Therefore, at this moment, Zhu Houzhao, the bear child, was a little surprised when he saw him.

Who made him look like a grown man in his thirties.

But now the face presented in front of the other party is so young and immature?

Not to mention, before coming, in order to further shorten the age gap with Zhu Houzhao, he deliberately dressed himself up a little smaller.

No wonder Zhu Houzhao, the bear child, was a little surprised.

However, the other party could still recognize him at a glance, which made him a little surprised in his heart.

Because, he is still quite proud of this disguise technique.

Later, he once asked the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty, how could he recognize himself in the first place?

The other party finally told him triumphantly, because his eyes did not change.

When a person is disguised, if he does not deliberately change his eyes, the risk of being seen through will greatly increase.

Not to mention, Shen Mu didn't think about covering it up at all.

Of course, Zhu Houzhao, the bear child, would not tell Shen Mu: As His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, how special his identity was, how could Wei Guogong allow a stranger to approach him at will?

Haha, it is said that Shen Mu is one of the smartest people in the Ming Dynasty, and he, who is the emperor, is actually very smart.

"It's Shen Mu. I've seen the little boy, I've seen the little grandfather. Shen Mu stepped forward to salute.

"Who dressed you up yesterday, and actually dressed you up as an uncle, if I go out in the future and dress up like this, when I am in the small theater, will I not be recognized by Xiao Xu?" Zhu Houzhao, the bear child, deliberately circled around him and said.

Then Shen Mu felt that he was being glared at fiercely, and as soon as he raised his eyes, he saw that Liu Jin's eunuch was glaring at him.

Obviously, he felt that Shen Mu had just provided a new way for the prince to escape home.

Since he knew that this Liu Jin would not be a good bird in the future, and it was not the time to offend the other party at this moment, he could only pretend to turn a blind eye and continued: "Back to the little prince, Yi Rong disguised such things can only be hidden from strangers, but not from the people close to the son, the relationship between the little grandfather and His Royal Highness is so close, it is not easy to hide it from him." ”

Xu Pengju heard what Shen Mu said, he had already learned Shen Mu's true identity from his grandfather's mouth, and at this moment he felt that this kid was not a few years older than himself, and he could be regarded as understanding the world.

Besides, he didn't want His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to continue to have any thoughts of escaping from the Prince's house, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince escaped from the Wei Mansion again, it would be a big mess, and he changed the topic at the moment: "I heard that the other two are ill, today, you plan to give us something to perform, but don't be the same old as yesterday." ”

"Back to the little grandfather, because of this, Shen Mu alone could not perform some complicated tricks, and could only perform some simple and interesting tricks for the little boy and the little grandfather. For example, if you cover a cup full of water with paper, and then turn the cup over with water, only to find that the water in the cup does not flow. ”

"Oh, what's so new about that?"

"Whether it's interesting or not, I won't know until the little boy and the little grandfather see it."

"Alright, let's see if you can conjure flowers. Come on, prepare a few clean cups and a wad of paper. ”

"Yes." When the subordinates of the Wei Mansion heard this, they immediately went to prepare.

After a while, the things that Shen Mu needed were ready.

In fact, as long as you have received a simple middle school physics education in your previous life, you know that this performance is not actually a real magic show, but just a simple physics experiment.

But it is simple and easy to do, and Shen Mu can also explain the principle clearly.

In order to improve his success, Shen Mu demonstrated twice in the house where he lived.

The cups and paper prepared for him by the Duke of Wei are all good things, and it is a very simple operation process.

Pour water into the cup, then cover it with paper and turn the cup upside down so that the water does not come out.

The reason why he chose this show was that Shen Mu wanted Zhu Houzhao, the bear child, and the little grandfather of the Wei Mansion to also get involved.

Because he knew that even if Zhu Houzhao, the bear child, proposed to take him to the capital last night, it was just a whim of the other party, and he didn't actually have much intimate personal feelings with him.

These are far from enough, he not only wants to show his identity in front of the other party today, but also wants to gradually enhance the feelings between each other.

He knows a little bit of psychology that in order to get closer to the relationship between people, it is often necessary to do something together.

Otherwise, how could there be that sentence of carrying a gun together, going through the window together, and prostituting together...... What about theories?

Common things need to be cultivated in some way. The reason why I chose some simple and easy-to-use magic tricks today is to establish a playmate-like relationship.

Shen Mu's composure and chic still attracted the attention of Zhu Houzhao, the bear child, and at that moment he also followed Shen Mu's movements, and also tried twice, and sure enough, he also succeeded.

"Why is that?"

Shen Mu briefly described some physics knowledge to the two of them, and then quickly moved on to the next magic session.

He took out two clean copper coins from his arms and said: "Little boy, little grandfather, the second simple trick has begun, now I have a copper coin in my hand, when I hold the two fists, may I ask the two, is this copper coin in my right hand or in my left hand?" ”

"I guess left." Zhu Houzhao put down the water glass and stared at Shen Mu's fist.

"Then I guess right." Xu Pengju also said.

"Then let's take a look at my left hand first and see if the little boy guessed correctly." He slammed two fists into the air.

Open your left hand.

"I'm sorry, little boy, you guessed wrong, the copper coin is not in my left hand. Now it's right-handed turn. ”

As soon as the words fell, he clenched his fists again, smashed his two fists in mid-air, spread his right hand and said, "I'm sorry, little grandfather, my right hand also has no copper coins."

So where did the copper money go? Let's see again. ”

He lowered his hands again, then clenched his fists again and smashed them in the air, then spread out his two hands at the same time, and in each hand lay a copper coin.

"Hey, how can there be an extra copper coin?

Where did it come from?

Do you want to give it a try? ”

For most of the next half of the day, Shen Mu threw out a lot of simple and fun little magic tricks that didn't require many props to operate.

It is said that things like magic are pretending to be sharp weapons.

Especially pretending to be forced in front of the girl's house.

But Shen Mu can only pretend to be forced on these two Ming super second generations now.

In the end, Zhu Houzhao and Xu Pengju really began to be fascinated.

Because they suddenly think it's fun to play tricks on people in this way.

Let Shen Mu give them the tricks one by one.

When performing one of the magic tricks, several people need to cooperate with each other to complete it, especially if there are relatively large movements.

Just as Shen Mu finished his movements and was about to stand up straight, there was a thud and something fell out of his arms.

The thing fell on the bluestone slab with a crisp sound, attracting the attention of Zhu Houzhao and Xu Pengju, who were participating in the magic trick.

Not to mention that this thing happened to fall at Zhu Houzhao's feet.

It's nothing else, it's the Jinyiwei nameplate that shows Shen Mu's identity.

Since last night, Shen Mu has been thinking about how to quietly reveal his identity to Zhu Houzhao.

Directly using words to provoke it seems too blunt and deliberate.

In the end, he felt that it was most appropriate to let the other party find out inadvertently.

As His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Dynasty, he believed that Zhu Houzhao must have seen the identity nameplate of Jinyiwei and also knew the meaning of this identity nameplate.

Therefore, when he was performing just now, he pretended that the identity plate fell out of his arms unintentionally.

Sure enough, after hearing the sound, Zhu Houzhao's eyes also fell on the identity plate on the ground.

He naturally reached out and picked up the identity nameplate, and glanced at it and said, "Shen Mu, is this your thing?" ”
