Chapter 16 Education has a long way to go

Prince Su and Princess Chu Wan sat leisurely in the "Man Tingfang", and the maid of the Splendid Pavilion presented a set of tea sets, and Chu Wan didn't even look at it.

After the maid bent her knees to greet Chu Wan, she put down a three-legged colorful glass stand with a transparent glass teapot from the tray, and the water in the pot was already boiling.

Chu Wan's eyes were sharp, and she saw that a flower-shaped candle was actually used to heat the tea in the glass shelf.

The maid took a square grain from a delicate octagonal glass jar and put it into the teapot with a silver clip, and gently stirred the silver spoon, and a fragrant chrysanthemum smell came to her nose.

A few flowers are clearly visible in the transparent glass pot slowly blooming, and the maid pours out a cup of flower tea for Chu Wan to taste, mainly chrysanthemum flavor, supplemented by several other flavors, only to feel full of fragrance and fragrance.

The maid bowed her head and said respectfully: "If the lady thinks the taste is too light, you can add an extra tile, stir it until it melts, and then you can drink, and the golden lady will arrive later." Then he took his leave.

As soon as the maid left, Chu Wan's original form was revealed, and she and the two personal maids squatted on the edge of the teapot without any image, and then twisted up the flower brick to look left and right. Twitter and tsk, rushing to study, this splendid pavilion's tea is also unique and rare!

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and the three masters and servants immediately returned to their noble and cold state.

Jin Xuan personally came in with a delicate carved wooden box about three feet long in both hands, first bent down and respectfully greeted Chu Wan, then placed the carved wooden box on the table, and carefully took out a few objects for Chu Wan to choose.

said that it was a selection, but in fact, Jin Xuan Yushu and the two of them had already screened out according to Jintong's own list: the list of noble ladies who need to be focused on and not offended, and the things are properly prepared for the noble ladies.

Although there are only two kinds on Chu Wan's side, they are all high-quality products.

Chu Wan tasted the tea with a light face, and her tone was slightly disgusted: "Jin Niang, this is a perfunctory palace, right?!" That's all? ”

"Niangniang, even if you borrow a water tank from the slave family as a gut, the slave family will never dare!" Jin Xuan said as she first lifted the top layer of the six-layer carved red sandalwood jewelry dressing box: "Niangniang, please look, there is only one glass mirror so big and clear in the entire Splendid Pavilion." ”

What woman doesn't love beauty? What's more, Chu Wan is so young and beautiful, she looks left and right in the mirror, her face is full of smiles.

Jin Xuan waited quietly on the side, and only when Chu Wan could see that she was almost able to see it did she open another flat wooden box and take out a complete set of glass tea sets inside.

Chu Wan was amazed again!

Just now, when the maid of the Splendid Pavilion sent the set of glass pots for making flower tea, the three of them were sighing that the Splendid Pavilion was really wealthy, such a precious crystal clear glass pot, no matter how many people outside grabbed it, they couldn't buy it, and the Splendid Pavilion actually took it out to entertain guests, and they were not afraid of accidentally breaking it. At this time, seeing this set of more ingenious glass tea sets, Chu Wan, who has always been picky, was also amazed.

Jin Xuan took out the lotus-shaped saucer first, pointed to the empty place in the middle and explained to Chu Wan: "Niangniang, look, this is for candles." Then he presented the teapot, lotus-shaped teapot, and eight lotus-shaped teacups with tea mats to Chu Wan to see, all of which were crystal clear and perfect without any flaws. Niangniang, this lotus glazed tea set is only one set. ”

"There's no other shape for Hongu to choose?"

"Niangniang is already extremely lucky, it just so happens that the craftsman in the pavilion has sent two sets of flawless fine tea sets today, and one has been sold. If the slave family takes a step slower, they won't be able to grab this set of lotus tea sets! In fact, another set of plum blossom tea sets, Jin Xuan was left to Mrs. Jiang in accordance with Jintong's order, of course she would not say it.

Jin Xuan deliberately lowered her voice and whispered to Chu Wan: "Niangniang doesn't know, the set of pink glazed lotus tea set of Xiao Qinghuan, the concubine of the criminal department before, is only one pot or two cups, but it is just small. That is, it is okay to usually pour it for its own use, if you say that you take it out to entertain guests, how can you have this set of atmosphere! ”

Chu Wan's self-esteem was greatly satisfied, she was a frequent visitor to the "Splendid Pavilion", and knew that the rules of the Splendid Pavilion were not to disclose any guest information, so she did not ask who bought the first set. The circle of noblewomen in Beijing is so big, anyway, sooner or later they will know it, so they will no longer embarrass Jin Xuan, and buy two things with 8,200 taels of silver tickets domineeringly.

Jin Xuan personally wrapped the two things in a soft cloth, and took out two paper bags with different flowers drawn: "Niangniang, one bag is chrysanthemum tea, the other is peony flower tea, give it to Niangniang to drink fresh, and I hope Niangniang will not dislike it." ”

This flower tea Chu Wan has never seen before, where will she dislike it, she is very rare. So, she said to Jin Xuan with a rare and pleasant face: "The golden lady has a heart!" ”

Chu Wan's good mood came out of the Splendid Pavilion, and it lasted less than a hundred meters before it was destroyed!

The three masters and servants, plus the coachman, looked helplessly at the "wounded" who was half-lying on the ground. The injured man kept saying that he was hit by his car and his bones were broken and couldn't get up, and asked Chu Wan to compensate him with one hundred taels of silver to recuperate from his injuries.

Chu Wan was in the carriage, so angry that she almost bit a mouthful of silver teeth!

Just now, she happened to open the curtain and look out, and saw that Diao Min obviously ran out of the alley by himself, and then rolled to the ground, rolling straight under the wheels of the carriage.

Besides, the coachman whispered to her: that Diao Min is full of martial arts, and he rolled very horizontally, hit their wheels with his shoulder, and then rolled twice and lay on the ground, which seemed to be very serious, but in fact, there was no injury at all.

This is to blackmail her for a hundred taels of silver! Chu Wan adhered to the principle that more things are better than less, and took a hundred taels of silver tickets for the coachman to give him. But the Diao people actually insisted on asking for silver, saying that they were afraid that the silver ticket was fake.

There were more and more people around, and Chu Wan was about to die.

She came out with the car of Prince Su's Mansion, with the logo of the palace on it, and the purpose of Prince Su's Mansion is: to spend a lot of money on the outside world and make a greedy life, but no one must rely on the reputation of Prince Su's Mansion to oppress the people. But if they continue to be entangled like this, they will definitely spread the reputation of their royal palace as a bully. The prince has always been low-key, she can't hold him back.

Chu Wan sweated in a hurry, where to get 100 taels of silver now? She wanted the personal maid to take the silver ticket to the nearest money village to redeem it, but a maid carried 100 taels of silver, the picture should not be too beautiful, I am afraid that it will attract more people to watch.

From time to time, Chu Wan opened the curtain slightly and looked out, hoping to meet an acquaintance to come and help her, but she really saw an acquaintance.

Jintong was dressed as a scholar, opened the way with a paper fan, and pulled two maids dressed as scholars to the front to watch the excitement with great interest. Jintong has the soul of a modern person in her bones, and modern women like to go shopping the most, so she takes turns to take a few personal maids out from time to time to hang out.

Hey, I met an acquaintance today!

Prince Su is the youngest brother of the Holy Lord, and he is still a posthumous son, and his biological mother has a low position and is not favored, so Prince Su has been a low-key person since he was a child, and he has a character that does not fight or grab. Even now that he has been crowned king, he is also very humble and respectful.

Mr. Gongsun has analyzed that Prince Su's Mansion can be befriended. Now that Chu Wan is in trouble, Jintong is ready to throw an olive branch and help her to show her favor.

Su Bai was careful, and after observing for a while, he quietly said to Jintong: "Madam, that man must be pretending!" ”

Jintong looked surprised, there are also porcelain touches this year?

"Madame, it's a hot day, and people can sweat when they stand, unless they are weak. But look at that man, his body is strong, he has been in a stalemate for so long, the coachman is almost soaked, he hasn't sweated a drop, he is probably a practitioner. ”

Jintong looked at the man who was half-lying on the ground, the coachman wanted to pull him several times, but he seemed to be clumsy and turned around to dodge, the coachman didn't even touch the corner of his clothes, he was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick and sweaty. Although the man is dusty and messy, he is extremely dry, and it seems that he is not only a practitioner, but also a hidden master.

Jin Tong rolled his eyes, bit his white ear and said a few words, and then pulled Danzhu to the carriage.

Although Jintong is dressed as a scholar, she has a bright appearance, her skin is so white and tender that she can be blown and broken, and wearing a tattered linen cloth can't hide the fact that she is a stunning beauty, of course Chu Wan recognized her at a glance.

Chu Wan saw Jintong stand in the middle with a big grin, and smiled at the man: "This brother, wait a while, I have already asked the scholar to go and invite the doctor of the Rejuvenation Hall to come over." If there is an injury, we will treat the injury first, how to compensate you rest assured, a copper plate will be a lot for you! ”

The man who was half-lying on the ground couldn't react a little, the doctor came, didn't he show his stuff?

He regretted it a little, he had already taken the silver ticket if he knew it! But he is a flat-headed commoner, and he is afraid that he will take the silver ticket to the money bank to redeem the money, and he will be troubled by them. Besides, there are only a few money houses in Shangjing, if this noble person wants to retaliate against him, he will definitely catch one of them, so he insists on asking for silver.

It's also that he didn't think about it thoughtfully, a hundred taels of silver, where could these nobles bring so much cash. If you knew earlier, don't be too greedy, you can earn ten or twenty taels slowly, it's much more appropriate, but where is the time to regret it now? Or, while the doctor hasn't come yet, he quickly slips away.

The man was hesitating, when he saw the onlookers get out of the way, and a doctor with a medicine box and a small servant hurriedly walked over. The man got up decisively and ran away, and the coachman stretched out his hand to catch him, but the man was very slippery and had kung fu, and he ran away without a trace in a few breaths.

The crowd was not lively to see, so they naturally dispersed.

Chu Wan hurriedly got out of the car and thanked Jintong, the two said a few polite words, and made an appointment to have tea together before saying goodbye to each other and leaving.

Jin Tong noticed just now that the man who touched porcelain was actually not good at expression. When you come and go, you will only shout those two sentences: Your palace is careless of people's lives, and you have killed people! My bones are broken, and I want a hundred taels of silver, which is silver, and I am not a professional porcelain toucher.

After saying goodbye to Chu Wan, she planned to satisfy her curiosity and see what was going on with that novice porcelain toucher. But in the vast sea of people, the man ran fast, but where to find it?

Jin Tong wandered around for a while before returning to the Hou Mansion with Su Bai Danzhu.

The porcelain man is called Lu Liu, and the six brothers and their old mother have been in Beijing for more than half a year. Their brothers all have martial arts and have a lot of strength, and it is more than enough to earn enough to eat. But it was a hot day, and the place where they lived was crowded and cramped, and the old mother was too old to suffer from the heat.

I invited a doctor, and the doctor said that the old man's body was too empty, and now he can only eat ginseng and take a good breath to recuperate.

But not to mention ginseng, even a tael of ginseng costs several taels of silver, where can they afford it?

In desperation, he thought about blackmailing a rich and noble family and defrauding him of a hundred taels of silver. In this way, they can buy a few taels of ginseng to supplement their mother, and then they can spend dozens of taels of silver to live in a larger place, which is conducive to their mother's recovery. Who knows inexperience and goes home empty-handed.

He didn't dare to tell his brothers about it, and only after he had cleaned the dust from his torn clothes did he dare to go home.

The so-called home is actually a broken shed made of old thatched wood, which is sewn into three large pieces of cloth from scraps of scraps, and divides the shed into four small compartments. The old mother lives alone, the eldest brother and sister-in-law live in one square, the second brother and the second sister-in-law live in one square, and the rest is the four brothers squeezing together.

It is not easy to live in the capital, just a little bit of broken ground, and it costs one or two silver a month.

Since the start of the war in southern Xinjiang, the work at the wharf has decreased a lot, and the mother's illness has almost sold out the dozen taels of silver that their brothers had saved.

Lu Liuda took a big bite and nibbled on the two coarse grits cakes left for him by his sister-in-law, and almost hated Jintong to the core! If it weren't for that stinky woman meddling in her affairs, and his one hundred taels of silver in hand, why would the family be so poor!
