Chapter 38: The Princess of Changsha
Liu Che stood on the high platform of Weiyang Palace, looked at the rising sun in the sky, and took a deep breath. After the attack, he was already a little impatient to stand on the front stage, and swallowing his anger was not his surname. This incident made him feel a sense of powerlessness, Zhou Yafu and Dou Ying, at least one of them wanted his life, although he couldn't know exactly who was the real murderer, or both. Emperor Jing was forced by the need for political stability and did not act immediately, but Liu Che still hoped that everything was under his control, and if the timing was right, he would not mind a bloody bath in the court of the Han Dynasty.
Also out of guilt, Emperor Jing, after careful consideration, agreed to Liu Che's suggestion and used the opportunity of this birthday banquet to recall all the nine princes of the country to the capital. Since Liu Che has decided to join the game in advance, he will not care about changing the course of history, and now he only hopes that his arrangement can make the nine imperial brothers willingly give up their fiefdoms and stay in the capital. Of course, it is also possible that they have aroused their desire for the throne. That's not bad, and there will be plenty of reasons to kill them in the future.
His eldest brother, the abolished prince Liu Rong, is definitely going to die, and I hope that the other brothers and King Liang can understand the current affairs. Otherwise, when Liu Che ascends the throne, there will be only one way to destroy the princes and kings of the Thirty-Seven Roads. In order to completely eliminate the feudal system of the princes and establish a unified feudal dynasty, Liu Che did not mind using the blood of his brothers to pave the way for the Han Empire to become strong.
Liu Che's Great Han Empire must have only one voice!
Since its opening, the Gucci Lady's Workshop has been in surplus, and the door is still full of traffic, and all kinds of carriages come and go. Silver mirrors worth tens of thousands of dollars and perfumes worth 100,000 yuan have become the most sought-after goods, and they will be sold out almost as soon as they are put on the shelves. Of course, those who are eligible to enter the store must have a VIP card from the Heavenly Pavilion or the Tangram Pavilion.
"Yan'er, why didn't you book early? If you have good things, you won't help your cousin buy them first! ”
Chen Jie, the princess of Changsha, pouted, and complained to the girl beside her depressedly, obviously buying the items she wanted.
Yan'er blinked her big watery eyes and smiled helplessly: "How do I know that the reservations are scheduled for three months?" Besides, my mother has to go to heaven every day, and the VIP card will definitely not be used for me. My VIP card was still pestering my father for a long time, and he spent the free coupon of the Seven Tricks Linglong Pavilion to register it in my name. So much so that now my father wants to go to the Seven Tricks Linglong Pavilion and has to follow his subordinates, and he often chatters endlessly. ”
"Eh, I have long heard the merchants from the capital to Changsha talk about the Seven Exquisite Pavilion. finally waited for the prince to enter Beijing to congratulate his father on his birthday, but he still couldn't see it. Chen Jie said sullenly, obviously the appointments for the Seven Tricks Exquisite Pavilion were all full.
"Princess, Miss!" A little maid in green came running over from afar and said, "The prince sent the palace attendant to send four cards, saying that it was a gift from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to his sister-in-law, and the slave maid hurriedly sent it." ”
"Ahh Yan'er hurriedly snatched the silk scarf from the little maid's hand, opened it and looked at it, and couldn't help screaming.
Chen Jie asked strangely, "What's wrong?" ”
"Golden ...... Jin's ......" Yan'er's face was full of dementia, and the little maid next to her also opened her mouth wide, she was in a hurry just now, and she didn't open it to see it, otherwise she wouldn't be so indifferent to walk on the streets of Chang'an with four golden VIP cards.
"What's wrong with Kim?" Chen Jie, who couldn't figure out the situation, touched Yan'er's little head, "Isn't it made of gold?" Go back and give your cousin a golden unicorn. ”
Yan'er, who came back to her senses, looked at Chen Jie speechlessly, and pretended to be old: "You don't understand." ”
She pulled Chen Jie aside, looked carefully at the card in her hand, and saw that there were exactly two cards that read "Heavenly Room" and two that read "Seven Tricks Exquisite Pavilion", and her face bloomed with joy.
Yan'er put the first two Heavenly Seven Trick Exquisite Pavilion on the cuff, thinking about it and feeling uneasy, she took it out and put it in the hidden pocket in her arms, and patted it carefully, so she was relieved.
Chen Jie looked at her nervous cousin, her face full of worry, but she hadn't seen her for a year, why did she still have something wrong with her head?
When Yan'er saw Chen Jie's appearance, she didn't explain, waved the two golden VIP cards in her hand, and said proudly: "Go!" Go in and buy perfume! ”
Yan'er instructed the maids and guards behind her to stay outside the Seven Tricks Exquisite Pavilion, so she pulled Chen Jie in, put the gold card in her hand on the counter, and said coquettishly: "Miss Ben wants to buy perfume!" ”
"Miss, I'm sorry to ......" The maid at the counter was about to refuse, but when she saw the card in Yan'er's hand, she hurriedly said, "Please wait." ”
I saw the maid take out a silk book, take the gold card on the table and compare it for a while, and then said to Yan'er: "These two gold cards have not been registered/registered, please register them and you can use them normally." But after you sign up, it's only a card for the two of you. ”
Yan'er took the silk book, without discussing it with Chen Jie at all, as if the gold card originally belonged to her, and quickly completed the registration of the two cards.
"Yu'er, take the two upstairs." The maid at the counter returned the gold card to the maid and instructed a little maid next to her.
Under the guidance of the little maid, Chen Jie and the girl came to the third floor and walked into a large and gorgeous hall. At this time, they didn't know how much trouble they would bring to themselves and even their own family in the future if they went up to the third floor so blatantly. Like the Celestial Room, the third floor of the Gucci Ladies House is only accessible to Gold card holders. And now the gold card is a total of the twenty-three that were originally issued in the sky, not even the daughter of Princess Guantao, the future crown princess Chen Ajiao.
Chen Jie didn't know how much the gold card was cherished, and Yan'er didn't have the heart to think about it at all, because she was stunned by everything in front of her.
The floor of the hall is paved with white tiles, and on the black ceiling, a small chandelier in the shape of a moon hangs. The chandelier is surrounded by countless blue gems (actually gallium, worthless things). As the candlelight on the chandelier flickered on and off, the gemstones reflected a flickering light. With the dim light from the wall lamps, Yan'er felt as if she was in a quiet night.
However, under each wall lamp, there is a small table covered with black flannel and a transparent glass cover upside down. The various exquisite objects in the glass cover made Chen Jie and Yan'er's eyes glow with crazy light.
However, Yan'er quickly came back to her senses, as if she had thought of something, and asked the little maid next to her with a slightly red face: "Are the objects here much more expensive than those below?" ”
"Except for some limited-edition rarities with special prices, the prices of other goods are uniform, and the gold card can also be discounted by 20%. The little maid bowed and replied.
Yan'er was overjoyed when she heard the eight-fold discount, and now the word discount has become a popular word in the capital. As long as the consumption points in the VIP card reach a certain amount, you can enjoy specific discounts, and everyone in Beijing knows it!
Eight-fold! Mamma Mia! The girl was lying on the glass cover, with a winned expression on her face.
Even a rich woman is crazy in the face of discounted goods, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, Liu Che once said to Tian Sheng.
In short, Yan'er and Chen Jie swept away more than 10% of the general goods on the third floor at a 20% discount, and even bought ten bottles of superb perfumes worth 500,000 yuan each. When the two girls instructed the guards to hand over the thousands of gold (equivalent to tens of millions of dollars) they brought to the maids of the Gucci Lady's Workshop, they couldn't suppress the joy of making a big bargain on their faces.
A discount of 20% can be exchanged for more than four times the profit from a woman, Liu Che once said to Tian Sheng.
Yan'er instructed her subordinates to transport the good goods they bought home first, and decided to take Chen Jie to the heavens to see it.
Sitting in the carriage, looking at her cousin who was chattering non-stop, Chen Jie suddenly felt that she was really a hillbilly. has only been following the prince to leave the capital for more than a year, as if he no longer belongs to this city that has given birth to him for fifteen years.
"Yan'er, my uncle often goes to the Seven Tricks Pavilion with you for banquets?" Chen Jie asked.
"No, my father is busy going to the court every day, only Mu Yue (the Han Dynasty has a five-day holiday, goes home to wash his hair, and the company has a lot more surnames than the company we have to work overtime on Saturday) will come to eat once in a while, I go by myself, and my name is registered on the card." Yan'er took out the silver VIP card and shook it.
"Won't my aunt accompany you?"
"My mother goes to heaven every day, and I often accompany her, as long as I go home earlier than my father."
"My aunt goes out every day, and my uncle is not angry?"
"Angry? No, my father also said that my mother's temper has changed for the better and her people have become more beautiful since she often went to heaven. ”
Chen Jie opened her mouth to ask something, but the carriage slowly stopped.
"Miss, the heavens have arrived."
As soon as the little maid's clear voice sounded, Yan'er impatiently pulled Chen Jie out of the car.
As she ran towards the courtyard, she called out, "Xiang'er, wait here, someone will bring you pastries and juice later." ”
When the little maid heard this, she jumped for joy. She likes to come to heaven with the young lady the most, and for more than half a year, she has eaten and drunk a lot of pastries and juices.
Entering the heavenly room, Yan'er also packed a pastry and juice for Xiang'er at a 20% discount price, and asked people to send it to her. However, Yan'er didn't let the maid take them to the third floor, and at this time she finally remembered to keep a low profile, lest the news of her gold card get out. Of course, her realization came a little late, and the news about their third floor of the Ancient Strange Ladies Workshop had already spread in a small area, and it spread like a virus in the upper class of the ladies circle of Chang'an City.
Yan'er's surname is definitely not suitable for listening to music in the hall on the first floor, so she pulled Chen Jie to the second floor, looked around, and finally found her old lady Chen in one of the boxes.
"East wind! Touch! ”
"Don't touch! I'm confused! Hahaha! Give money for money! ”
"Yo, Yan'er, why are you here? And brought Jie'er here? Where do you get the VIP card? ”
In the gap between the shuffles, Chen finally found his daughter and niece beside him, and asked hurriedly.
"The prince got it." Yan'er blinked her eyes and replied lightly.
Chen nodded and didn't ask any more questions. Liu Fa, the king of Changsha, is the sixth son of the emperor, although he has always been unfavored because of his mother Tang Ji's humble background, it is not difficult to get a VIP card.
Chen wanted to say something, but the lady at the card table urged, "Hurry up, hurry up, you are the dealer!" ”
Chen grabbed a heavy money bag containing gold on the coffee table next to him and stuffed it into Yan'er's arms, "Go play, if it's not enough, it will be recorded in my account." ”
After speaking, I didn't pay attention to the two anymore, rolled the dice, and stacked cards, and was happy.
"Mother, it's rare for my cousin to come back. Grandma will talk to her, and my daughter will come to play for you. Yan'er shook Chen's arm and said coquettishly.
"Don't! I don't know you yet, but when you get to the table, ten cows can't pull you down. Chen was unmoved, obviously suffering Yan'er's losses not once or twice, and said indifferently: "I want to play my own people to open the stage." ”
Yan'er grinded for a while, and saw that there was really no play, so she took Chen Jie to walk around on the second floor. Chen Jie was behind Yan'er, but she was a little depressed. Everything she saw in the capital today made her new and envious, and made her linger. Looking at Yan'er in front of me, I always feel that she is much happier than herself. What about the prince? What would he think?
