"The so-called "big red and purple", "red and purple", all kinds of colors, only purple is above red. Or is it Madame's ingenuity!" Yu Ze was glad that this trip to Echeng was done well, otherwise with his wife's temperament, he would not have to punish himself severely.

"That's nature." Chen Huan was in a particularly good mood today, and suddenly glanced at the snow-white Qi Qi that had been flattened out to be dyed on the side, frowned, and said, "By the way, what about the goose-yellow colored silk that was dyed before?"

The weaving supervisor replied, "Mrs. Hui, she is still in the storeroom."

Chen Huan paused, turned around and instructed Yu Ze: "Send someone to send that yellow silk to Ji Guo, and say that it is the palace to add makeup to Miss Ji Jiang."

"Madame, why is that?" Fei Ze was very puzzled, she was also a concubine, this Mrs. Hou had been competing with her sister-in-law, and wanted to overpower the prospective queen everywhere, but how could she look at a Ji Guo escort who couldn't beat the eight poles so differently?

"You don't have to ask why, just do it."

Hearing that Chen Huan's words were already a little impatient, where did Yan Ze dare to ask again, so he had to bow down and answer: "No!"

"What? Are you going to send the girl north and take a detour to Hojing? Are you crazy?" At first glance, when he heard his wife's suggestion, Chen Hou was taken aback, and he really couldn't understand his wife's thoughts: "Shen Jiang and his party are already waiting in Luoyi, how do you want to send your daughter north?" Who will escort you? Aren't you afraid that your daughter will be snatched away by Rong Di?"

"I've figured it out." Chen Huan said unhurriedly: "Since the battle against the border army, the Lynx has moved to the northwest, and there are only a few remnants north of the big river, so there is no need to worry. What's more, I heard that Wei Houhe is about to return to China with an army to deal with government affairs, and at that time, with the friendship between Chen Wei and the two countries, let him take his daughter to the north together, what is the risk? At that time, Ji Guo will also send the women to the court song, and the two women will go the same way, and the guards will escort them into Hojing, killing two birds with one stone."

Chen Hou calmed down at this time, he had heard that because Ji Guo's Ji Jiang was not yet old, King Zhou authorized Ji Guo to postpone his wife, and there was no need to rush this big wedding. But her daughter is twenty years old, and if she doesn't marry back, she will become an old girl.

"But ......" Chen Hou still felt unsteady in his heart: "Why do you want to be like this? If you don't leave Luoyi, you have to send the woman to Hojing in advance, and drag the woman of Ji Guo with you?"

"For what? Naturally, it's to get a head start!" Chen Huan's slender finger poked her husband, leaving a crescent-white mark on Chen Hou's slightly chubby face.

"What's the opportunity?"

"You're stupid! First there is the country of Fan, and then there is the country of Hubei, scrambling to send a woman to serve between the weddings of the Son of Heaven, for what? Isn't it just to seize an opportunity when there is no queen in the palace? Now Shen Jiang is still waiting in Luoyi for autumn, waiting for the king to send a letter to the valley to greet him, let's take this opportunity to send the girl to Hojing first. If the daughter can seize this opportunity to be favored in one fell swoop and conceive a boy first, she will have a solid foothold, understand?"

"I'm afraid it's not that easy, right?" Chen Hou still frowned: "Then why do you have to pull Ji Guo's woman? Isn't that one more competitor?"

"You!" Chen Huan stretched out the orchid finger again, but Chen Hou was obedient this time, his body was biased, and he deftly avoided his wife's "one-finger Zen". Chen Huan's thin fingers stretched out in the air, and she smiled: "That Ji Jiang is too young, like an astringent fruit, and has not yet grown, and the king is twenty-five, how can he look at such an incomprehensible yellow-haired girl?" Naturally, my female charm is mature, and she is the king's favor!"

"Alas—" Chen Hou sighed helplessly, "In your life, you always like to say goodbye to your sister-in-law, I can't control you!"

"You never worry about being a father, can I do it if I don't worry about it?" Chen Huan replied angrily.

When Wu Kui's cart arrived in Fancheng, she was surprised by what was happening outside.

On the vast green field, the tent was floating with cooking smoke, as if the Kuirong grassland had moved to the north bank of Huaishui. On the paths between the tent camps, cars and people continued to appear, converging on the official road of Fancheng, and the ocean squirmed and rushed to the majestic city in the distance. This wide boulevard, which has always been unobstructed, has suddenly become a river of people, cattle and horses, and everyone is struggling to move forward, so they can only go with the flow.

The caravans, chariots and horses could not go to the road at all, so they had to look for opportunities in the fields below the road

inserted, or looking for a camp, or snatching the opportunity to enter the city, so the smoke and dust filled the sky with the noise of people, and the red haze covered the sky and the earth under the scorching sun.

Although Wu Kui clearly knew that these convoys of horses and horses were all here to buy orchid madder, once he saw it with his own eyes, he still couldn't help but feel his heart pounding. As soon as the color curtain car of the prospective queen Shen Jiang came out, the name of orchid madder was famous all over the world, and the nobles and wealthy businessmen were all proud of getting one. With both male and female plants, it can be planted by children and grandchildren, and it is an inexhaustible cash cow for a lifetime. The common people also vied with each other to learn the art of planting and gardening, in order to join the wealthy family with this art, fight for a career, and get rid of the fate of generations of untouchables.

"It's noisy, and it's dusty!"

Wu Kui, who was standing on a hill outside the city and looking at it from afar, remembered this old saying.

"The world is bustling, and it is all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit. The words of the ancients are true!" Lin Bo behind him also sighed.

Wu Kui's car waited outside the city for most of the day before he was allowed to enter the city in the middle of the night. To her surprise, the profit-hungry Prime Minister Huaiqing dared to coerce and loot the wealthy businessmen and princes and ministers in the world who she had summoned to participate in the auction of orchid madli.

Wu Kui's chariot entered the city and was implied to forcibly collect a gold. On the grounds of "defense room", the state of Hubei carried out official inquiries and property searches for all those who invited them into the city, which was collectively referred to as the investigation of the defense room. In the first step, those who are invited to enter the city and accept the survey must pay a gold for each person or car as "please". The words of the future generations are the application money. The second step is to determine whether you can enter the city to participate in the orchid madder auction based on the amount of wealth. Those with a total value of more than 1,000 gold can be licensed to enter the city to participate in the auction, and those with less than 1,000 gold can also enter the city, but they are not eligible to participate in the meeting, and the application fee will not be refunded.

After entering the city, Wu Kui saw the "Anti-Interstitial Order" specially issued by Exiang Huaiqing, and couldn't help but feel funny, and he was very disgusted for a while. Huaiqing's Lingyun: "Fancheng has always been the recreational capital of the world, and orchid madder is even more rare treasure. If it is not rich, it is not expensive; If you are not a diligent man, you will not be able to live in our city. Therefore whoever goes into the city to seek grass shall be balanced by the quantity of his goods."

The general secretary of the Fandi branch reported that Huaiqing spared no effort to make money by borrowing orchid and madder, which had caused chaos in Hubei and Pang.
