Chapter 32: Re-entering Shangjing

After only half an hour of haze, Xu Jiao was resurrected with full blood. Perhaps, this is a good thing, without Zhao Yin getting in the way, no one in his courtyard will come to find him at all, so it means that he can continue to be Shushu and do what he wants to do!

Thinking so, Xu Jiao instructed Dong'er to hurry up to the concierge to inform him, and asked the concierge to send a message to Zhao Ping, saying that he and Shushu were going to go to the street to buy things for the princess in the main courtyard, and asked Zhao Ping to wait a little.

Xu Jiao didn't forget Huang Rong, who stayed in the guest room, and hurriedly ran into Huang Rong's room, patted Huang Rong's face and shouted, "Hurry up, let's go shopping." ”

Huang Rong looked like a meat worm, wrapped in the quilt and hugged her head and muttered: "I drank too much wine yesterday and had a headache, let me sleep more." ”

Xu Jiao hated the iron and slapped her on the buttocks: "Are you going or not?" ”

Huang Rong barely showed her head from the quilt: "Don't go." It's not fun on the streets, I'm tired of shopping, you can leave me alone and go by yourself. ”

Xu Jiao glared at her fiercely again, then turned around and left, and deliberately closed the door when she went out.

Back in the main courtyard, Xu Jiao changed into a maid's outfit, rolled all the patterns in the box into a roll and stuffed them into a bamboo tube, took the bamboo tube and pulled up Dong'er and left.

After these days of getting along, Dong'er also understood her temperament a little, and walked generously with her to the gate.

From afar, Zhao Ping waved at the two: "Sister Shu, this way." ”

Xu Jiao hurriedly ran two steps forward and thanked politely: "Brother Labor, the big brother in charge has been waiting for us for a long time." ”

Zhao Ping said: "Sister Shu, you're welcome, get in the car, let's go." ”

As soon as Xu Jiao and Dong'er got in the car, Zhao Ping asked again: "The prince just came back and left, is the princess sad?" ”

Xu Jiao rolled her eyes in her heart and said secretly: A big man is still so gossipy. But he said: "Maybe my mother has been lonely since she was a child, but I haven't seen her sad." ”

Zhao Ping nodded again and again: "That's the case, but I heard that the prince is going to suppress the bandits this time, and the bandits in Wuyuan are the number one problem for Dayan, and it is estimated that this time the prince will not be able to come back for two or three years." I think it's strange, needless to say, why didn't the prince even take his mother away? ”

Two or three years? Xu Jiao clearly remembered what Zhao Yin said last night, "The return date is uncertain". Could it be that it really takes so long to suppress a bandit? It's not a war.

Thinking so, Xu Jiao asked: "It's only been three or five years since the war, and the prince is going to suppress bandits, why does it take so long?" ”

Zhao Ping said: "What do you women know? It is said that the bandits gathered on a mountain that stretches for dozens of miles, the mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the bandit leader is a very smart master, it is rumored that the person is the descendant of Jiang Shuai, in order to avenge the Jiang family, this is hibernation on the mountain waiting to find royal trouble. ”

When Xu Jiao heard him say this, she became interested and asked, "Why?" ”

Zhao Ping said proudly: "Let's just say that your women's family has no knowledge, I have heard that although Wuyuan ten years ago was troubled, it was not too tricky, and the imperial court sent troops to suppress it after a few times." And then I didn't care much. ”

Zhao Ping said this, changed his posture and leaned on the wheel and continued: "Later, the invincible Jiang Shuai was accused of treason with the enemy, the first emperor ordered to kill the Jiang family, and then the Jiang family was executed, but there was a big life, that is, Jiang Shuai's youngest son Jiang Yunfei, who was sent by Jiang Shuai to the mountains to learn art from a hermit master, and after the incident, he was escorted by Jiang Shuai's heartfelt subordinates and fled for his life. It was from that time that the imperial court began to compete with the bandits there. ”

"It's strange to say, since Jiang Shuai's subordinates flew up the bandit mountain with Jiang Yun, the bandits on the mountain have begun to become rampant, and the imperial court has suffered a big loss by sending people to kill them several times, and even the soldiers sent by the emperor two years ago have all been wiped out!" Zhao Ping said as he frowned, as if this matter had much to do with him.

Xu Jiao listened to it with relish, the loyal generals who were wronged in history don't know how much, and I don't know if this Jiang Shuai really collaborated with the enemy and treasoned or became a victim in the political whirlpool?

It's no wonder that Wuyuan's bandits are inexhaustible, and Jiang Shuai's subordinate is a great young general, after all, Jiang Shuai is an "invincible" master.

Just talking all the way, everyone has arrived at the tea shop where they came last time.

Zhao Ping still parked the cart next to the tea shop, and then ordered everyone to act separately and gather here in the afternoon.

Xu Jiao pulled Dong'er to greet Zhao Ping, and walked in the direction where she went last time. With a goal in mind this time, the two found Zhenqiao Pavilion without much difficulty.

Xu Jiao ignored the several soft sedan chairs outside the door, raised her feet and walked straight into the door, and found that there was Suo Chun sitting behind the counter, and before she had time to step forward to say hello, a person who had already hurriedly come up to the side was Suo Xia: "Miss Shu is here, these days, my brother has come every day and left after the unitary hour, just to wait for the girl to come to the door." ”

Xu Jiao looked at the person behind the counter again, and saw that the other party's handsome face, which was still calm like water, was like a spring breeze for a moment, and the corners of her lips quickly curled: "Miss Shushu is here, I have been speaking for several days, but I didn't expect you to come until today." ”

Xu Jiao said: "I'm lazy, I don't pay much attention to things outside, and I only want to take a look when I get my mother's order to buy things today." ”

Suo Chun's eyes gestured out of the door and said, "Can you see it?" Those ladies and ladies outside are all coming for the name of the scholar, and in just a few days, the scholar is already more popular than Yueniang. ”

Xu Jiao put the bamboo tube in her hand on the counter: "That's also because the lock boss packaged Shushu well." ”

Suo Chun said: "If you don't have diamonds, you don't do porcelain work, it's still Miss Shu's own ability." ”

Xu Jiao patted the bamboo tube on the counter: "Look, these should be more popular than last time." ”

Suo Chun hurriedly poured out the pattern from the bamboo tube and looked at it, the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became, and finally carefully put it in a wooden clip and handed it to Suo Xia, let him keep it well, and let Master Chen make a sample as soon as possible.

Xu Jiao sat on the high stool with her short legs on her legs, and asked Suo Chun without dodging: "How much did you earn from those drawings you drew a few days ago?" ”

Suo Chun couldn't help laughing, took out a wooden box from under the counter and handed it to her: "I'm really a little money fan, your share is here these days." ”

Xu Jiao took the wooden box and opened it, good guy, there are twenty or so ingots of silver neatly and neatly, not to mention two hundred taels.

"That, how much is the principal of the hairpin? How much does it cost? Xu Jiao asked.

"Made of pure gold, the principal is 14 taels of silver, sold for 30 taels, this time only thirty for the time being, and then I plan to produce another fifteen for each style, as for the pattern you sent today, I will determine the quantity and price as appropriate, and let the little guy deliver the letter to you when the time comes." Suo Chun answered her words while dialing the abacus beads.
