In early summer, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. coincided with the approaching date of Concubine Wu Hui's birthday, and the city of Chang'an became more and more lively.

You may ask, what does it have to do with her birthday?

You don't know this, in ancient times, some people's birthdays were celebrated with the strength of the whole country.

In addition, Concubine Wu Hui is deeply favored by the emperor, and her power and prestige are rising day by day, if she can take the opportunity to please Concubine Wu Hui, will she not be promoted in the future and soar?

To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than some people who are hungry for profit chasing fame and fortune, taking the opportunity to bribe the emperor's relatives and relatives.

After all, Concubine Wu Hui is a celebrity around the emperor, and her happiness means that the emperor is happy, and the emperor's happiness means that everyone will be happy.

Of course, people can't say "good things" so "ugly", but call them "filial piety".

Even if their biological parents celebrate their birthdays, I haven't seen them so concerned, and I'm afraid that many people don't remember when their parents' birthdays were, right?

This is really "the dearest person has never kissed, and the unloved person has kissed." What is nepotism? Answer more about wealth. ”

And such a good opportunity to make a career is naturally indispensable to Qiu Pengyun, and he is waiting for this day.

However, when the matter was approaching, he became worried.

You must know what kind of person Concubine Wu Hui is, and there must be countless treasures and celebrity calligraphy and paintings around her. If you send it with ordinary things, it is not said that it will attract attention and be taken seriously, but I am afraid that it will be as silent as a mud cow entering the sea.

In this way, it is better not to send it in vain. Therefore, if you want to take the opportunity to develop, the gift you give must be made around the word "novelty", rather than like those simple-minded people - "offering treasures every year, and every year is not good".

However, there is a saying that is easier said than done. With Qiu Pengyun's brain, if he was asked to think of an idea of a trick, it would be difficult for him. But when it comes to figuring out a woman's mind, he's far behind.

In desperation, Qiu Pengyun had to turn to Song Wanting for help.

Seeing this, Song Wanting thought for a moment, and then told him that if she wanted a novel and loved gift, it would be better to give her a box of good rouge.

When Qiu Pengyun first heard this, he felt very ridiculous. How can you send rouge to a concubine? It's all commonplace, and you can see it everywhere. There are all such items in the palace, where is his turn to send them?

But after thinking about it, he smiled again, as if he suddenly realized something.

Without further ado, Qiu Pengyun, who had a flash of inspiration, immediately pulled Song Wanting and rushed to the East and West Cities.

After a lap, the two were exhausted. However, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and they still found a satisfactory rouge shop, but they did not enter it for some reasons.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper of the rouge shop rushed out without saying a word.

The shopkeeper here is a woman in her thirties, not tall and average-looking, but she wears heavy makeup and paints her eyebrows and eyes, making her very gorgeous, for fear that others will not know that she is a rouge shop.

Don't look at her very good-looking, her eloquence is first-class. Not only can he speak well, but he is also good at observing words and feelings, and he brought the two into the store in a few words.

After entering the store, Qiu Pengyun did not drag the mud and water, but chose to go straight to the theme, and asked for the best and most expensive when he came up.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper couldn't help but smile in his heart: "You are not bad for money, even so, I can't blame me, don't pit you anyone!" ”

"Yo, this guest officer, I see that you are a cheerful person! Let's put it this way, I have a good product, but I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it. The shopkeeper said to Qiu Pengyun in a south-to-north tone.

When Qiu Pengyun heard this, he was suddenly unhappy in his heart. The heart said, Is there anything I can't afford? What a joke!

The shopkeeper saw that the time had come, and even took out her so-called "treasure of the town".

It is said that this rouge is made with a unique secret recipe, and its beauty effects are by no means comparable to other mundane things.

The shopkeeper also boasted about Haikou, saying that as long as you use this thing, you will be 20 years younger within 20 days, otherwise, you will come and smash my shop!

When Qiu Pengyun heard this, he just sneered a few times and did not speak.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper thought that he didn't believe it, so he wanted to praise it, but he was immediately interrupted by Qiu Pengyun.

Qiu Pengyun didn't have time to listen to her talk here, and he wanted to know now how much this rouge could be sold.

The shopkeeper saw that he was so anxious, and did not look like a poor person, and after several temptations, she actually opened her mouth.

The shopkeeper first threatened that this item was expensive and not easy to make, and then threatened that the entire Chang'an City could no longer find a second one, so that he opened his mouth and asked for ten taels of silver a box, and refused to bargain.

Seeing this, Qiu Pengyun didn't bother to argue with her, so he took out a hundred taels of silver to buy ten boxes, and then left in a hurry.

After the two left, the shopkeeper couldn't help laughing. The heart said, I didn't think that there was such a big fool in this world, and I would have known it earlier.

Now that the rouge is ready, the next thing to do is to find a suitable object to hold it.

After all, it is impossible for Qiu Pengyun to only send a few boxes of rouge as a congratulatory gift, otherwise he will really not be far from death.

A few days later, Qiu Pengyun indirectly learned the good news from the mouth of a Konoe.

It is said that a butcher surnamed Zhang secretly reported to him that in the west of Chang'an City, an ordinary family surnamed Qin had an ancestral treasure chest.

It is rumored that this thing is handed down from the ancestors of the Qin family, not only the shape is simple and elegant, the production is exquisite, and it is the royal thing of the Han Dynasty court, which can be described as priceless.

When Qiu Pengyun heard this, he was overjoyed.

I thought to myself, "How can there be such a clever thing in the world?" If you find it, wouldn't it be just right to use it as a jewelry box for rouge? Then put all kinds of gold and silver jewelry and some small objects inside, so that it will be able to please the mother. At that time, I will be able to soar to the top of the clouds, so why worry about not being able to achieve great things? ”

Without further ado, after Qiu Pengyun learned of this, he immediately sent someone to find out, and intended to secretly spend a lot of money to buy this thing secretly.

Unexpectedly, the Qin family flatly denied this and insisted that there was no such thing. To say that all this is just rumors from outsiders should not be believed.

Afterwards, Qiu Pengyun was greatly annoyed, and immediately found Zhang Butcher and wanted to punish him. But when Zhang Butcher saw this, he was not afraid, but always insisted that the Qin family must have this treasure, and if not, he would be willing to die.

So, why did Butcher Zhang do everything possible to put the Qin family in danger? Don't worry, and listen to me slowly.

If you want to say that the Qin family in the west of the city is a family of three, all of them are ordinary people who are honest and duty-bound. Although his family is poor and often hungry, he also lives a comfortable life, which is the so-called contentment and happiness.

The second elder of the Qin family has a daughter, in her early twenties, named Qin Menglan.

Although this person is not a country and a city, he is also born very standard, with a pure and simple beauty, which is intoxicating.

And Qin Menglan has reached the age of talking about marriage, so many people took the initiative to come to the door to propose marriage, but they were all politely declined.

Among these people who pursued Qin Menglan, the most fanatical was Zhang Butcher. But the Qin family would never agree to marry their daughter to him, why is that?

It turned out that the Qin family and the Zhang butcher's family were neighbors, and the two families were only separated by a wall.

That butcher kills pigs and sells meat as a business on weekdays, and his family is well-off. This man is wide, fat, tall and strong, about 30 years old, and has not yet started a family.

If he could keep to himself and be diligent and thrifty, it would be okay to marry Qin Menglan to him, but the real situation was just the opposite.

Zhang Butcher is a high-flying, domineering, and violent person, relying on his own few stinky money and strong body, so some people have no one in their eyes.

In addition, his temper is short-tempered and perverse, so that he often quarrels with the people around him, and few neighbors are waiting to see him.

What is even more unacceptable to the Qin family is that Zhang Butcher is also extremely lustful and good at drinking, and often goes in and out of Qinglou Liquor Shop and other places, and does not return all night.

No matter how poor the life of the Qin family's parents is, they will definitely not push their biological daughter into the fire pit. That's just a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, and it will definitely not end well.

However, the more the Qin family disagreed with this marriage, the more Zhang Butcher pressed him step by step, so that he was rejected several times when he came to propose marriage. What's more, he went again a few days ago, and this time he was directly beaten.

All this caused Zhang Butcher to lose face, his self-esteem was seriously frustrated, and he gradually held a grudge.

At that time, he was very angry, and he wanted to break down the door immediately, and a bully would bow hard.

But after thinking about it, he felt that this matter was inappropriate, so he could only force the anger in his heart to return home.

Don't look at Zhang Butcher as a rough person, but I also know the truth that if you break the law, you will go to prison. Even if you have resentment in your heart, you must find an appropriate time to take revenge, and you must not put yourself in a desperate situation.

Coincidentally, it happened that the dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital were looking for treasures everywhere, and the Qin family was fully aware of the treasure, so why not say when at this time?

In this way, even if he can't cause the Qin Menglan family to be ruined, presumably with the current situation of the Qin family, he will definitely turn to himself for help, then he can take advantage of the danger of others, which can really be described as extremely vicious.

On the other hand, Qiu Pengyun racked his brains in order to get the treasure chest as soon as possible.

Finally, in a flash of inspiration, he had an idea.

It turned out that in order to reduce the burden on the family, Qin Menglan took the initiative to learn the craft of embroidery, so that she could earn some silver in her free time to supplement the family.

And Qin Menglan did break out of the world with her exquisite embroidery skills and dexterous hands, and she was already well-known in the local area, so that there was no shortage of her embroidery products in the homes of many famous families and nobles.

The sinister and cunning Qiu Pengyun took advantage of this, and then skillfully fabricated a trumped-up charge against Qin Menglan and framed him in prison.

It is only said that the embroidery embroidered by Qin Menglan was found in the home of a certain important minister of the imperial court, and that important minister is a person who collaborates with the enemy and treason and intends to rebel. He used Qin Menglan's embroidery as a contact code, and then conspired with a group of thieves to rebel.

There is no excuse for the sin that is really desired, and a good piece of exquisite embroidery can also become a code word used by others to communicate and transmit messages.

Not to mention that there will be no rebellion at all in such a peaceful and prosperous world, even if there is, how can they look at ordinary people like Qin Menglan? It was clear that Qiu Pengyun was eager to seek treasure, so he did not hesitate to take risks and use despicable means in order to achieve his sinister goal as soon as possible.

Without further ado, in order to prevent an accident from happening on the way, Qiu Pengyun immediately ordered someone to go to Qin Menglan's house, blatantly handcuffed her parents and took them away from prison.

At this moment, it was early in the morning, Qin Menglan was washing clothes in the courtyard, but before she could hang all the clothes on the rope, there was a rapid knock on the door outside.

Seeing this, Qin Menglan was about to go out to check the situation, but unexpectedly, someone outside the house suddenly broke into the door, which caught her off guard.

Before she could come to her senses, one of the leading officials couldn't help but handcuff the second elder of the Qin family and prepare to take it away.

Seeing this, Qin Menglan almost wanted to step forward to stop her, but she was stopped by her.

Not only that, one of the fierce and vicious officials also grabbed Qin Menglan's arm and warned her viciously that Lord Fu Yin strictly ordered her to hand over the treasure chest within three days, otherwise he would wait to collect their corpses!

Seeing this, Qin Menglan lost her mind a little, and then fought with it desperately.

Qin Menglan is a female streamer, how can she be the opponent of these reckless men? Seeing this, the man pushed Qin Menglan to the ground.

Because the water that Qin Menglan had been washing her clothes had not dried up yet, she happened to sit impartially on the muddy ground after being pushed down, making her body dirty.

Then, those people swaggered away from here, leaving only the frightened Qin Menglan to sit on the ground and hide her face and cry.

When he was young, Zhang Butcher, who had been secretly watching from a distance, saw this, so he tiptoed over and walked over with bad intentions.

While walking, he recited the words, and at a glance, he knew that he was a gloating villain after the treacherous plan succeeded.

When Qin Menglan saw that it was Zhang Butcher, she immediately stood up, and then Zhang Butcher walked over and pretended to comfort her.

Although Qin Menglan didn't say it, she knew very well in her heart that this person must have leaked the news. So Qin Menglan gave him a blank look, and then slammed the courtyard door shut.

Seeing this, Zhang Butcher said to himself: "What are the gods, you will be my person sooner or later!" ”

With that, Zhang Butcher left happily humming a little song.

There were only dripping plain clothes, frightened hens, piles of firewood, and a miserable man who didn't know where to go and sighed.
