Chapter 275: Fifty Taels Less? (3rd Watch)
After Yuan Ling walked away for a while, Hu Man was so tired that he sat down with his waist up, and Ye Zhi came in to see her appearance, and stretched out his hand to knead it for her: "The third prince's face is very bad." ”
"yes, I know." Hu Man felt that in the winter, he was faintly sweating: "They haven't finished eating yet?" ”
"No, people in officialdom are not eating at all, they are all talking about things and pulling relationships, I'm afraid it will take a long time."
"Then I won't wait, I'll go back to sleep for a while." Hu Man got up: "No matter who comes, I'm gone!" Don't call me! ”
A Wu Yuan, a third prince, has made her dry mouth and physically and mentally exhausted, and the ambiguous attitude of the third prince makes her unable to understand whether he has given up or ...... Angrier?
Entered the house and took off her shoes and lay on the bed, and soon fell asleep, Yezhi was guarding outside, she originally felt that Miss was much luckier and happier than herself in terms of feelings, the two of them liked each other, and there was no door to view, there was no constraint, and they could be together without scruples.
But now it seems that her troubles are much bigger than herself, at least she is not forced by someone she doesn't love, although the coercion can't separate the two, but it will always cause a lot of trouble...... For example, the last time the Wei family was framed.
Not long after, the table upstairs was gone, and Wu Zhan sent everyone back, and saw Yezhi alone in the courtyard: "Vines in the house? ”
Ye Zhi nodded: "Miss is asleep." ”
"Hmm." Wu Zhan pushed the door in, Hu Man slept soundly, he added a few pieces of charcoal to the stove, then took off his coat and hung it up, and sat on the edge of the bed looking at her.
After coming back from Biansai, the changes are not small, before he was just an unknown minor official, and later although he was promoted to three levels, there were many people who were not convinced, thinking that it was good luck to catch up.
But after this battle, he won the most battles, had the highest record, and reached the second grade in a short period of time, so that many people saw the potential of this person, and the emperor was very satisfied with him, so he naturally became the object of many people's wooing.
It's just that Wu Zhan is much calmer, he won't be carried away by these, and he won't go to stand in any team when the emperor is still healthy, he was bent on dealing with Yuan Ling before, but now he wants to gain a firm foothold, and then find out the truth first!
"You're done?" Hu Man rolled over, opened his eyes in a daze, and took his hand.
"Hmm." Wu Zhan came back to his senses and kissed her palm: "Enough sleep?" ”
"It's fine." Hu Man yawned, and just lay down and looked at him: "The third prince came just now." ”
"When?" Wu Zhan twisted his eyebrows: "He didn't embarrass you, did he?" ”
"If there is, I'll call you." Hu Man said softly: "I tested him and told him about Aunt Wang, but he didn't react at all!" ”
"So you don't think it's anything to do with him?"
"Of course, I can't be sure, after all, there will be no less blood on his hands, and it is impossible to feel guilty because of anyone's heart, but I don't think he is the kind of person who I just kill, but he doesn't care about this matter at all! It's like it has nothing to do with him. ”
"General Yuan will be gone in two days."
"Huh?" Hu Man was surprised: "Where to go?" ”
"Go to Liaocheng." Wu Zhan kneaded her fingers: "After all, he is now a general, Wei Ling has been demoted again, it is his duty to garrison the frontier, and the old general did not return to Beijing once in a few years, and he was transferred back when he was old." ”
"What about Mr. Su? What about the army here? ”
"The 20,000 garrisons stationed outside the city should have been temporarily taken over by Lijiu, but he refused and recommended me to the emperor, so during General Yuan's absence, it was handed over to me."
"Really?" Hu Man was overjoyed: "That's good!" "This is really a real power, and the weight of words will be increased in the future!
"Then why did Su Gongzi refuse?"
"He doesn't like to be constrained, and he doesn't want to take care of so many things, so when he doesn't fight, he just hangs on his post."
Hu Man woke up and sat up: "Let's go out and take a walk!" ”
"What for?" Wu Zhan saw her wearing shoes.
"Just go around and buy something." Hu Man took a sip of water, and then began to put on his coat: "Tomorrow is the day when Zhao Yuan gets married, I gave an invitation, let's go on a trip, buy something for gifts!" ”
"Who are you taking with you?"
Hu Man rolled his eyes: "Of course it's with you!" How? Do you think it's appropriate for Ye Zhi to go? How lacking I am! ”
Wu Zhan raised his eyebrows: "What should I do if I'm not available?" ”
Hu Man stopped: "Then I'll go by myself?" ”
Wu Zhan walked up and grabbed her waist and walked out of the door: "Don't be, I'll let go of other things to accompany you!" I'm not at ease alone. ”
Hu Man curled the corners of his mouth at this time: "This is about the same." ”
With Wu Zhan by her side, Ye Zhi naturally didn't follow, Hu Man didn't want to take the carriage, she was about to vomit during this time, anyway, there was nothing to do, so she just watched while walking.
"Speaking of which, I haven't seen you get married here yet, Wu Qing was too simple at that time, what do you usually give?"
"The gift is just a good look, as long as it is auspicious, anything can do, the important thing is the gift money."
"How much is the gift?"
"It depends on the distance of the relationship and the identity of the other party." Wu Zhan thought for a while: "Although the Zhao family is only a merchant, but in this way, the status is not low, and they have friends with many officials, and they can speak, and if they are too little, they will naturally not be able to do it." ”
"That'...... Is 1,000 taels enough? Hu Man was still a little reluctant: "After all, I'm not so familiar with Zhao Yuan!" If he marries Yezhi, I will give it more! ”
"Enough!" Wu Zhan pinched the tip of her nose: "You are short!" ”
The two went to a few shops and stopped at an antique shop, Hu Man didn't have much research on antiques, but this was originally ancient, even if it was fake, it should be considered an antique, right?
"What are you looking at?" The guy was wiping a vase when he saw someone come to greet him.
"Just take a look." Hu Man looked around, and there were all kinds of things, but she really didn't know what was good.
Looking at it, he suddenly saw a painting, Hu Man took it down and looked at it, it was a landscape painting, and it was accompanied by a poem, Hu Man looked at it and thought it was very good, but the words were a little old.
The guy came over and introduced: "The girl has good eyesight, this is the handwriting of Li Qiao's great painter!" Authentic! ”
"Who is Li Qiao?" Hu Man really hadn't heard of this person.
"A well-known painter from the previous dynasty! The emperors of the previous dynasties have personally praised it! Absolutely genuine! Collecting is valuable, and gift-giving is face-saving! ”
Hu Man suddenly realized that since this dynasty did not exist in the history of her time, then the people here naturally did not know.
"How much?"
The guy stretched out five fingers, and Hu Man felt that if he was so famous, he would be able to say: "Can't it be cheaper?" Fifty taels less? ”
The guy was stunned for a moment, and agreed very happily: "Okay! That's got you covered! ”
Hu Man watched him take the calligraphy and painting to package, and looked back at Wu Zhan blankly: "So good to bargain?" Should I cut more? ”
Wu Zhan smiled: "I've already said it, can I still regret it?" ”
"It's just too easy, isn't it?" Hu Man shook his head: "It can't be fake, right?" ”
The kung fu guy who spoke had already wrapped it up and put it on the counter, Hu Man took out a few silver tickets of one hundred taels from his purse, a total of four hundred and fifty taels, and put it down and took the things away.
Xiao Er hurriedly stopped: "Guest officer! That's not enough! ”
"What's not enough?" Hu Man looked at it: "Didn't you promise to be fifty taels less?" Isn't that right? ”
Only then did the guest officer understand that she had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "This is not five hundred taels!" This calligraphy and painting is 5,000 taels! ”
"Huh?" Hu Man's eyes widened: "So expensive? ”
"It's an antique! Posthumous work, this one-of-a-kind! Xiao Er explained: "Don't coax you, if this is collected, put it for several generations, and pass it on to children and grandchildren, it will be a priceless treasure!" ”
Hu Man grinned secretly, if it was five hundred taels, she would still think about it, the five thousand taels...... She is really reluctant to give gifts! Looking back at Wu Zhan, he seemed to ask him what to do?
Wu Zhan shrugged: "You can buy it if you want, don't give gifts, you can collect it yourself." ”
Hu Man suddenly: "Yes! She really likes it, and it's all wrapped up, so it's really not good to go back: "I didn't bring that much money, please help me send it to Manxiangju later!" ”
The guy smiled: "Okay! Is there anything else the guest officer needs? ”
"
