Although Princess Taiping has a mansion in Chang'an City, she has lived in the palace for a long time, after all, her relatives are in the palace, and no one has the right to object. Although the princess's mansion is free, it is somewhat lacking in taste, and it can only be regarded as an industry, a place to rest, and a house to relax when you are unhappy.

But in the past week, I can only stay in the princess's mansion, after all, there will be guests soon.

For Cui Xuan, whether it is Empress Wu or Princess Taiping, there is no intention of letting him out directly, so it is also good to get to know the family, Princess Taiping can always have some good proposals for political affairs.

It's an opportunity to get to know a son who is a big family member.

It is said that since the fourth prince is going to visit, it is definitely not okay to be empty-handed, so he has to choose a decent gift. As long as you don't become a colt, befriending Princess Taiping is harmless. Regardless of whether they are selected or not, they will inevitably show their goodwill.

Wang Bin has a headache for this matter, he is the person who must attend, what should he send? One person has a headache as two people, and there is a ready-made military advisor who can use it, and it is not necessary to use it in vain.

"Brother Shen, what gift should I prepare? Princess Taiping doesn't have any special hobbies, and few people in the palace talk about the princess's preferences, so how to prepare this meeting gift? ”

Shen Sanwen glanced at him contemptuously, "I think for myself." Then he continued to lean against the pillar of the gazebo and closed his eyes.

At the turn of summer and autumn, the sun had already risen, got up early in the morning, after breakfast, Shen Sanwen, who came to the pavilion, didn't want to waste this beautiful time, it was a good time to enjoy the cool breeze and think about life, but he couldn't be disturbed.

The pavilion is in the front yard of the palace, located in the middle of a small lake, the four corners of the pavilion are planted with different aquatic plants, there are lotus leaves, there are pothos, there are green leaves that cannot be named, and there is a willow tree at the edge, such a courtyard does not know how much manpower and material resources to build, sitting on the pavilion chair by the water in the pavilion, it is indescribably comfortable.

"It is said that when people are in a bad mood, when they are blown by a breeze on the lake, the water vapor will come into contact with people, so that people can relax their spirits, forget their troubles, laugh unconsciously, and be in a good mood, Brother Wang, why are you so impetuous?"

Wang Bin looked at Shen Sanwen's appearance that it didn't matter to him, and not only became curious, but also wanted to know Shen Sanwen's attitude towards Princess Taiping, "Brother Shen, what gift do you plan to give?" Why don't you compose a poem and talk about your heart? If one of your poems touches the hearts of beautiful women, I can also reduce a lot of distress. The princess who sent calligraphy and painting does not necessarily like it, the princess of brocade is not lacking, and the jade ceramics may be, but there is no suitable thing in the hand. It's okay if it's just a normal visit, but if you lose your etiquette during this special period, I'm afraid it will be written down because of negligence. Brother Shen, don't you have an idea with me? ”

Shen Sanwen slowly opened his eyes, "I've only met the princess once, how can I give you this idea?" ”

Wang Bin lay on the table and said weakly, "Brother Shen, although I met the princess for the first time, I think Brother Shen knows Princess Taiping very well. In other words, Brother Shen has seen many things, understands women, and analyzes many things after seeing the princess. ”

Shen Sanwen was very helpful when he heard this, and he got up happily directly, "Of course." However, Princess Taiping is not short of money, your gift is too ordinary to gain favor, you must give a gift that is valuable enough for the princess to love but not be tempted. The Cui family will definitely not allow Cui Xuan to marry the princess, so this time the concubine must be chosen from you and Xue Shao. What kind of jade porcelain princess has never seen, give a jade as a gift, do you despise the princess, or provoke her to despise, it is better not to give it. ”

"Then I can't go empty-handed", this is the reason, Wang Bin was even more powerless, and sighed silently.

"You see that rockery over there, the rocks next to the rockery are not small." Shen San asked, pointing, and said in a chattering voice.

"This stone is not only a small origin, the stone is like a boy riding an elephant, meaning auspicious, the ancients cloud, Taiping has an elephant, take its auspicious wishes, out of the meaning of the phase. The word "Ya" on it was engraved by the ancestor of the Wang family, Han Situ Wang Yun, and many generations of the Wang family grew up by this stone. I don't have the right to dispose of this stone, and if I give it to the princess, she won't like it. ”

Shen Sanwen shook his head, in history, Princess Taiping was a person who liked pomp and circumstance, and was keen on arranging real estate, and this stone might have an appetite for her. But this stupid boy is unwilling to send it, and if he doesn't send it now, he won't be able to send it if he has the opportunity in the future.

Shen Sanwen said in a strange tone, as if reprimanding a junior, and said unhurriedly, "Brother Wang! If this stone is not of such great significance to the Wang family, then it is useless to give it away. It is because of the beautiful appearance and great significance of this stone that you can highlight your respect for the princess and the respect of the royal family for the princess. The princess has lived in the palace for a long time, and there must not be many strange stones like the princess's mansion. At present, the saint advocates frugality, and it is impossible to ask for it everywhere, and it is difficult to find this kind of stone, which is very suitable for the princess's mansion to decorate the façade. The princess is not short of anything, so it is especially important to satisfy her face. Although it seems that giving this gift has no effect, but befriending the princess is the simplest, promising investment, how the princess of Taiping is now favored does not need me to say much, with the queen's wrist and current status, the person who will be the emperor in the future can only be the princess's brothers, the emperor has a lot of harsh criticism of the prince, but the princess has to respond, if the princess is not stupid, if the prince does not have a bad relationship with the princess, there must be more help for his three royal brothers, although the princess is favored today, but only in the inner court, he will be the new monarch on the throne, The princess's power is probably no less than that of today's martial queen, and I am afraid that ten such stones will not be able to enter her eyes at that time. ”

Wang Bin suddenly realized, "Brother Shen is really tall!" "And to send this stone, the intention of friendship is clearly expressed, but there is no pursuit of men and women, only blessings, and the princess will not have too much affection for me." ”

After saying that, he stepped out of the gazebo and began to arrange the stone affairs. After Zhengyang, the entertainment increased, and he had to go to meet the princess and invite him to travel, and there was not much time left for him. And sending this stone can only be cut first and then played, and the old men of the Wang family may not agree.

This stone is not light, I am afraid that it will take the strength of eight to ten people to carry it out, and it can't alarm the clan elders, I really want to give them a bunch of sweat medicine, and I will directly put them down.

After spending two months of monthly silver, Wang Bin found ten strong, hard-working, hard-working laborers, bought a stretcher suitable for transporting stones, buffers around the stones, and arranged carriages for transportation.

The road around the strange stone is narrow, and under the pretext of changing the bed for fear of scratching the stone, the Yashi is covered tightly, and then the people around are surrounded tightly, and they are in a hurry to steal the beams and change the pillars. Moved all the way out of the house and loaded into a carriage. In order to prevent anyone from finding out, people were specially arranged to stay next to the stones.

The carriage struggled along the road, slowly approaching its destination. Wang Bin didn't take the car, and followed the carriage to take care of this heavy gift.

At this time, Shen Sanwen also began to prepare his own gifts.
