Since ancient times, buying horse bones has paid attention to and highlighted the importance of talented people, and Cheng Yuan certainly can't be so fond of ordinary craftsmen, this is a means for him.

By the way, let the people of the capital see how much he, the prince of the town, is eager to seek talents for the academy.

"Do me this favor, your Zhu Yong...... I reluctantly took it. Cheng Yuan threw an olive branch.

"Really?" Zhu Neng was worn out at the beginning, and Cheng Yuan didn't let his son go, but now he proposes this, which is indeed very tempting.

Which old father doesn't want his son Jackie Chan to become a talent, and don't be a worm if he doesn't become a dragon, Zhu Neng is like this, but Cheng Yuan just doesn't give face, and he chooses students.

Therefore, when Cheng Yuan put forward the conditions, Zhu Neng agreed without hesitation, he was willing to take the corpse around the capital and let the people know about the purchase of the bones by the daughter of the prince of Zhenguo.

Helpless, for the sake of his son, he became the prince of the country, Zhu Neng, and he also gave up face.

Although Cheng Yuan was for marketing, he did not lack virtue enough to put the bones indiscriminately, but asked people to find a good coffin.

You must know that the family of this deceased craftsman was not wealthy, so he rolled the reed mat after death.

The ancients had a big gap between the rich and the poor, and some people were extravagant to buy a pair of longevity materials after death, and those who were not filial would tear down the door panel, carry the corpse, dig a pit, and bury it.

The weather is hot, the Qinhuai River is cool, the capital is lively, and there are many people, so Cheng Yuan can guarantee that he can achieve the effect he wants.

However, forget about transporting the corpse, let's leave it to Zhu Neng, Cheng Yuan doesn't want to come forward, just look at the excitement in the crowd.

The family of the craftsman may have lost any grief after more than half a month of grief, and the deceased will rest in peace, and the living will live well.

Although he pays attention to entering the earth for safety, because he was a person who was related to the Dabao'en Temple in the first place, he has been parked in the cellar near the criminal department, but the smell of the corpse still makes people want to vomit.

Especially one thousand taels, it is a windfall for ordinary people.

In the middle of summer, the people are sweating, but compared to the fool spending a lot of money to buy a corpse, this is worth the excitement.

The vendors who sell things are also not in business, and they look at the center of the crowd with their own burdens.

The black golden coffin of the word Shou, next to it there are copper coins, treasure money, a box of silver taels, if you often deal with money, you will know that these are about a thousand taels.

As for why there are silver taels, copper coins and treasure money are mixed, this is a phenomenon in the early Ming Dynasty, the people like silver and copper money, and are reluctant to ask for treasure money.

The people were talking.

"Buy a corpse, a thousand taels, this town must be hysterical, fool."

"Novelty, really novelty, and a person who will spend two dozen silver."

"What's the use of buying a lowly craftsman, stupid."

Cheng Yuan stood in the attic on the side of the street, leaning against the window and holding his chin, looking helpless.

Zhu Neng, who was standing below, had a hot face like a red-faced Guan Gong, and at this time he looked at Cheng Yuan opposite him with blazing eyes, and said to the crowd: "A thousand taels for corpses, because this person is a craftsman, Zhenguo Gong...... Talent, this is therefore willing to ......"

Zhu Neng said that he really couldn't blow it down.

He was silent, attracting the urging gaze of Cheng Yuan upstairs.

The people talked a lot, and bought the bones for 1,000 taels, it seems that this Zhenguo Gong really appreciates talented craftsmen.

"We are not scholars, we have been craftsmen for generations, and we were originally people who were not in the stream, but now there are people who are willing to exchange a thousand taels for our stinky skins, which is really surprising."

"Before, the academy recruited craftsmen, and I didn't believe that the monthly money was high, but now it seems that there is indeed such a thing."

………………

Zhu Zhanji sat in the corner, leaning on a chair, looking at his second uncle Zhu Gaoxu, who came to his house to show off his might, with a helpless look, but he didn't squeak, as if he was used to it.

Zhu Gaochu looked at Zhu Gaochi with blazing eyes at this time and said, "Big brother, let me ask you one last time, can you persuade the old man to transfer Qiu Fu back from Beiping." ”

Zhu Gaochi opened his mouth and didn't say anything for a long time.

It was Zhang's eyes, whose originally indifferent eyes slowly became teary-eyed, and looked at Zhu Gaoxu and Princess Wei of Han and said, "You are not in Beijing, your eldest brother is busy all day." Daddy, without being summoned. He didn't dare to bother, and we tried to persuade him, but we couldn't find a chance to say it. ”

Seeing that Zhu Gaoxu was silent.

Zhang looked at Princess Yongping and Princess Yong'an again, and said, "My sisters also know. ”

Xianning and Kangning sat in the corner, holding their chins in a daze.

Zhang wiped his tears, didn't go over, and stopped talking to Zhu Gaoxu.

Li Rang and Yuan Rong laughed with Zhu Gaoxu.

Princess An Cheng didn't want to participate, walked up to Zhu Zhanji, touched his head and said, "Zhanji, there is delicious food in the mansion tomorrow, you remember to come."

Also, you are already a big child, you must be sensible in the future, don't make your mother angry, you can't run around with Zhengqing and them, your father was scolded by your imperial grandfather for you. ”

Zhu Zhanji raised his head, looked at Zhu Zhizhen, nodded, and continued to stare at Zhu Gaoxu.

……

In the early summer, the capital was already blazing, and when several chamberlains were fighting for the shade of the trees at the door, Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, had already stepped in from the door.

"Big brother, second brother!" When Zhu Gaosui came in, he picked up the herbal tea sent by the palace maid, drank it all in one go, wiped his mouth and said, "Big brother, the third brother-in-law and Chengguo Gong are stupid to buy corpses." ”

After speaking, he looked at Zhu Zhizhen: "You have a lot of money in the Guogong Mansion, you have to buy the corpse of a craftsman." Zhu Gaosui was a little annoyed, but he was also like watching a play.

"Fool, hysteria!" Zhu Gaosui repeated.

Xianning was dissatisfied when she heard that Zhu Gaosui belittled Cheng Yuan so much, she was not afraid of unruly things, pinched her waist with both hands, and stomped on Zhu Gaosui's boots fiercely: "You are a fool, you have hysteria!" ”

"Zhu Zhiming, you!" Zhu Gaosui stared at Princess Xianning with small eyes.

Zhu Zhanji raised his head, looked at Zhu Gaosui helplessly and said, "Another fool." ”

Zhu Gaosui couldn't do anything with Zhu Zhanji, and he was bored again, and said: "Look at it yourself!" ”

Zhu Gaochi stood up, took the tea and slowly put it down, and said, "Third brother, you have to fix your mouth." ”

Yuan Rong glanced at Princess An Cheng and Zhu Gaochi, and sighed for a long time: "Alas, Zhizhen, don't you care if he is so nonsense." ”

Princess An Cheng looked at everyone's expressions, and couldn't help but say softly: "What he does is for Daming, not nonsense."

Although he is sometimes out of tune, but big things are always not messed up, and it is a bit ridiculous to buy corpses and bones for a thousand taels, but his heart is good.

Haven't my brothers and sisters heard the allusion of buying horse bones for a thousand miles and exchanging sheepskins for a hundred miles? He must have done it because of this. ”

King Yan Zhao asked a man named Guo Kui for advice on how to get a virtuous person.

Guo Kui told a story to King Yan Zhao that once upon a time there was a monarch who was willing to buy a thousand-mile horse with his daughter. But three years have passed, and Maxima has not been bought.

There was an unknown man under the king's command who volunteered to buy a horse, and found out that there was a good horse somewhere.

But when he arrived, the horse was dead, and he bought the horse's bones for five hundred gold and offered them to the king. The king was very upset when he saw the horse bones that had been bought at a very high price.

But the person who bought the horse bones said, "I am doing this to let everyone in the world know that you are sincerely trying to buy a horse at a high price, and you are not deceiving others."

Even a dead horse has to be bought for five hundred gold, not to mention a live horse, the world will help the king find a horse, and sure enough, someone sent three thousand miles of horses later.

Zhu Gaoxu and the others naturally knew this allusion, although he complained that Cheng Yuan did not help him, but he also remembered the love of brother and sister and knew how to do things, and persuaded Zhu Gaosui a few words.

Yuan Rong deliberately shook his head and said, "Alas, it's a pity, it's a pity, it's a thousand taels of silver!"

"It's still the second brother who is righteous and drives away the Tatars, the second brother is mighty this time." Yuan Rong patted his ass.

Zhu Zhanji on the side said: "No, sister-in-law, you didn't say that last month, you said that the second uncle was rude and naughty......"

"Junki!" Zhu Gaochi scolded.

Zhu Zhanji immediately stuck out his tongue, sat there and continued to mutter: "Mr. Yang said that lying is not a gentleman's doing, why did my father stop me." ”

Yuan Rong's face turned red, turning the color of pig liver, and he explained to Zhu Gaoxu: "I...... No? ”

Zhu Yuying hurriedly came over and said to Zhu Gaoxu: "Don't listen to Zhan Ji's nonsense. ”

"yes, he's talking nonsense." Yuan Rong hurriedly said.

Everyone gathered to visit Empress Xu, who had a heavy cough, and Zhu Gaoxu had just returned from the north, so everyone discussed a banquet.

When Zhu Zhizhen walked to the corridor, Xianning immediately followed and said, "Sister, did that dog man really go to buy a corpse, stupid." ”

Zhu Zhizhen glanced at Zhu Zhiming with disgust, and then said slowly:

"If he's not doing anything right, if he's not doing things properly, you and I can talk about him in private.

But I can only say it in private, because in front of other people, you and I have to defend him and help him cherish his feathers. ”

Under Zhu Zhizhen's explanation, Princess Xianning also nodded in agreement.

Zhu Gaochi next to him smiled and said: "Xianning, this truth needs to be remembered, there are some small things that An Cheng does not remind, you must also understand."

The palace is not as good as the people, there are many rules, Cheng Yuan is different from you, and some things will be used by people with a heart to make a big fuss. With the understanding of the eldest brother, his heart, his intelligence and work, I guessed it. ”

"Yes, big brother, I see."

Zhang also smiled: "Okay, otherwise it will be late for a while, and my father will be unhappy." ”

Everyone nodded and followed Zhu Gaoxu in the distance.
