Chapter 7: A Bloody Case Caused by a Bottle of Toilet Water
Wang Chonggu came and left, and the party was still going on.
During the banquet, Xu Shixing suddenly took out a vial and handed it to Shen Wuyan, and said with a wry smile: "Since my father's mosquito bite, the situation was known to Qingshan before, and he gave me this thing, saying that you did it without words." ”
Shen Wuyan recognized this small porcelain bottle at a glance, it was the flower water he made, it was originally because Yue'er suffered from mosquito bites, and then it spread that even Gu Qingshan came to ask for some.
It's just that for some reason, this thing was also passed to the prefect Xu Shangzhen, and the thing Xu Shixing took out here was flower water.
"I might be a little busy in the near future, and I'll be doing some when I'm free, but fortunately, it's still winter and there won't be mosquito bites."
Xu Shixing couldn't help but shake his head and said: "If you use this thing to prevent mosquitoes, it's really a bit excessive, if you know the black three...... Shen Weijing sold a bottle of this thing for one hundred taels to those rich ladies, so he would not be so violent. ”
"One hundred taels and one bottle?" Shen Wuyan exclaimed, "You said that Shen Weijing sold this flower water for a high price of one hundred taels and one bottles? ”
Xu Shixing chuckled: "Do you think a hundred taels of silver is very high? Just after you left Suzhou, this thing has been auctioned for a bottle of 1,000 taels of silver. ”
It was an unexpected thing, but now that he was concerned with another matter, Shen Wuyan could only put this matter aside.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that the things that were originally just for the little girl to do for leisure had spread to somewhere in the capital, and even some dignitaries and even royal nobles.
In the middle of the Horse House.
Princess Ning'an is chatting with Ma Li He, as the third princess of the Ming Dynasty, Princess Ning'an naturally has her pride, and when it comes to court politics, she is also quite insightful.
"Now that Yan Xiang is in power, his father is alchemy in Xiyuan all day long, this court is more and more like his Yan family, it is said that King Yu even sent silver to Yan Shifan in order to ask for money."
As the concubine Li He, the first son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty, he still has ambitions after all, and at this time, he heard Princess Ning'an, his wife was so unhappy, and just sighed lightly: "In fact, Your Majesty does not care about the government, and the ministers who have not been in the court for more than 20 years are still in his hands." ”
Although Princess Ning'an knew about this husband's insight, she was still angry: "The ministers are afraid that they want to get rid of Yan Shoufu and Xu Cifu, and now my father is kept in the dark, thinking that he can control the ministers, but in fact, he has been used by these two. ”
As soon as the words came out, Princess Ning'an regretted it, if these words were confirmed by the traitor, then there would be no return.
Seeing Princess Ning'an's slightly changed expression, Li He hurriedly changed his words: "That's right, I went to Suzhou a few days ago and saw a strange spice, which is said to repel mosquitoes in summer, and is good for the body, and can also keep the body fragrant." ”
"There is such a thing...... "After all, it is still the daughter's family, and when Princess Ning'an heard this, she immediately became interested.
Li He smiled slightly, took out a small porcelain vase from his sleeve and threw it to Princess Ning An and said, "One thousand taels of silver, it is indeed a little expensive...... If you like to bring you some next time. ”
"One thousand taels of silver." Princess Ning An hesitated slightly, and sighed bitterly: "Although you and I are members of the royal family, this monthly salary is not enough for this thing. ”
While opening the lid of the porcelain bottle and pouring out some juice, he slowly put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, and suddenly showed a smile: "It's a good thing, and there are a lot of talents in Suzhou." ”
"Do you know where this is?" Li He looked at Princess Ning'an with a mysterious expression.
Princess Ning An suddenly said curiously: "There are so many fat powder shops in Suzhou, how could I guess." ”
Li He then took out a few books from the general and handed them to Princess Ning'an: "There were also a few copies of "The Story of Stones" printed in the capital before, and later, after the first genius Song Yanzhi was killed by Mr. Shen's Mulan speech, this group of literati in the capital boycotted this book, and I saw that you saw half of it...... So this time I went to Suzhou to buy a fine repair for you. ”
After receiving these refined stone books, Princess Ning'an became more and more pleased, hugged the small porcelain vase and the book tightly, for fear that someone would take it away, and exclaimed: "On weekdays, I only think that Li and you are a stunned young man, but I didn't expect to be so intimate." ”
Both of them are children, although they make some jokes on weekdays, they are also very strict in their speech, and they can be said to respect each other as guests, and it is too rare for Ning and Princess Ning to say such things.
Li He is also very useful, after all, the two are husband and wife, and it is not too good to be too polite.
"Those so-called talents in the capital are really inferior to Mr. Shen in the slightest, not to mention the unfinished "Liao Zhai", a "Stone Record" will surpass the level of most literati."
Princess Ning'an accidentally got a fragment of "The Stone Record" before, and after reading it, she happily accepted it, and then she couldn't put it down, and even shared it with many sisters in the palace to read, but unexpectedly, the book was broken later.
originally thought that the person who wrote the book had no time because of livelihood problems, and she also sent people to look for it, but later found out that it was because the literati in the capital did not let the "Stone Record" be printed in the capital.
At this time, when I got the whole book, I was overjoyed: "The later Mulan Ci is also unique, even if the talented Wang Shizhen is afraid, he can only stand side by side with it." ”
Referring to Wang Shizhen, the concubine Li He couldn't help but sigh lightly: "I still feel ashamed of Wang Shizhen's affairs back then, but I just cried a few times for Yang Jisheng's corpse, as for accumulating relatives?" ”
"It's these things again." Princess Ning'an smeared the juice in the small porcelain bottle, and suddenly found the small words on the small porcelain bottle, and suddenly asked, "Is this ...... What is the Awakening Eight...... I haven't heard of the name of this shop in Suzhou. ”
"Wake up the eight guests?" Li He's expression changed slightly, and he murmured softly: "It is said that this is a teahouse...... By the way, the milk tea brought back before was the one that woke up the eight guests. ”
"There's such a thing." Princess Ning'an smiled and said, "If you want me to say that there are really many talents in Suzhou...... There is not only Mr. Shen who can write articles, but also the awakening eight customers milk tea, right...... Yulu is also from Suzhou, and I really want to go to Suzhou to walk. ”
Li He also smiled lightly: "The situation is not very good now, it is not appropriate to go out, I will definitely take you over to see it when I have time in the future." ”
……
The party lasted until nightfall, and after sending Wang Xijue and Xu Shixing back to the inn, Shen Wuyan and Wang Shizhen returned to the small courtyard.
After a brief wash, and a few cups of hot tea, the two of them sat in the antechamber and did not seem to be sleepy. After being silent for a long time, Shen Wuyan sighed lightly: "Actually, what I told before was not a joke. ”
Wang Shizhen took a sip of tea, and after a while, he shook his head lightly and said: "In the afternoon, the person's name is Yan Maoqing, who was the left waiter of the Criminal Department at the time, and has been attached to Yan Xiang for some years, and Yang Jisheng was calculated and killed by him back then. ”
"No wonder ......" Shen Wuyan paused for a moment and continued: "I met that rich kid in the afternoon, who was not tall, but very fat...... And blind in one eye. ”
"Yan Shifan." Wang Shizhen stood up abruptly and exclaimed, "It's not a good thing that Wuyan actually offended him...... ”
Shen Wuyan chuckled and said: "I am a Guozijian Jiupin classic, it is worth him to be the elder of the court, and he has to worry about ten thousand people under one person?" Shizhen still don't think about it. ”
Wang Shizhen, who was still frightened, heard Shen Wuyan say this, and his heart was also the same reason, and suddenly thought of another thing: "Actually, I have always been curious, Brother Shen has lived a comfortable life in Suzhou, why did he become a Jiupin sesame official from a businessman?" ”
Although he has a good relationship with Wang Shizhen here, he knows very well that there are many things that cannot be said, and it is also because of the relationship, so he can't affect the other party, sighed slightly, and said with a smile: "Thousands of miles of officials are only for money, and the status of businessmen is not high after all...... ”
Of course, Wang Shizhen naturally knew that Shen Wuyan was just a pretext, but since the other party didn't want to say it, he didn't delve into it.
The days went on so simply, the forty years of Jiajing ended one day in the depths of winter, and the new year of Jiajing forty-one years also came at the same time.
Heavy snow covered the entire capital, whether it was the dilapidated thatched houses outside the city or the noble imperial residence of the capital, the Forbidden City, which was generally white.
And a bloody incident also happened on this New Year's afternoon.
This afternoon, Yan Maoqing, the left attendant of the Criminal Department, was walking on the street with a large sedan chair, and recently got a new object to give to Yan Song, and he was smiling at the small porcelain vase in the sedan chair.
"It cost Lao Tzu three thousand taels of silver, but if this thing is given to Yan Xiang, he will definitely be very happy...... When the time comes, it will be more than three thousand taels of silver...... Wang Chonggu, what if Tan Lun is behind him? ”
At this time, on the same road, Wang Chonggu was sitting on the side of the road talking to people, and the person opposite was quite imposing, but had a bit of Confucian demeanor.
"I said that you just came to the capital and beat a left waiter, and you didn't even learn this kind of forbearance on Qi Jiguang's side? A soldier should have some bearing, Yan Maoqing, you don't know this person, he is a domineering person, why do you provoke him? ”
Wang Chonggu was not angry, but just smiled and said: "Anyway, it was only a fine for three months, and his nose bled when I punched him, which is really happy, Lord Tan, you don't know ......." ”
"Wang Chonggu, you are a literati." On the other side, Lord Tan really didn't want to listen to the other party, so he turned his head and continued to drink tea, and suddenly saw a colorful sedan chair coming from the street.
"Whose sedan chair is so luxurious that it is carried by twelve women?" Wang Chonggu looked at it and was immediately amazed.
Tan Lun was also stunned, this is the capital, how rampant it must be to be so luxurious, even the cabinet scholars dare not have such a posture when they go out.
"Yo, this is not Lord Shangshu Tan Lun Tan."
Before Tan Lun and Wang Chonggu could see who the car belonged to, they heard this familiar voice: "Yan Maoqing? ”
Looking at it, Yan Maoqing had already walked out of the car, and immediately a maid held up an umbrella for him, and then slowly walked to the dilapidated tea stall, looked at the two great masters of the current dynasty, and said disdainfully: "Why are you so down...... Oh, forgot, was fined for March ....... ”
Tan Lun's official position is higher than Yan Maoqing, but due to the other party's background, he had to look gloomy and not speak. And Wang Chonggu was just reprimanded, and he didn't want to cause trouble, but just snorted lightly.
Yan Maoqing didn't seem to plan to leave, and sneered: "If the two adults can't afford to pay for the tea, you can ask my subordinates to invite you." ”
Saying this, Wang Chonggu, who had long been unable to suppress it, suddenly kicked out, and because of the slippery ground, Yan Maoqing also reacted, and actually slid to the ground.
This one doesn't matter, Yan Maoqing suddenly found that the small porcelain bottle he was holding in his hand had also fallen to the ground, and the contents had already spilled all over the ground.
