Chapter 192: Xuancang returns
Luda, who was riding a horse next to him, saw the commander suddenly appear, and his eyes widened in surprise, "Commander, you have not been in the Eldest Princess's Mansion for several days, and Your Highness has specifically asked about your whereabouts, can the affairs of the family be dealt with?" β
Xuan Cang nodded lightly.
Ruda breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, later, you better go and confess to His Highness." β
Xuan Cang glanced at the blue-curtained carriage next to him, "Got it." β
Inside the carriage, Ruihe was equally surprised when he heard the conversation between Luda and Xuan Cang outside.
"Your Highness, Commander Xuancang is back."
Qin Shuhuang paused with the hand holding the book, but he didn't expect Brother Remnant Wang's health to accompany her out as soon as his health improved.
Qin Shuhuang nodded, her eyes didn't seem surprised, she asked Rui Miao to take out a small plate of snacks from the food box she was carrying, and then threw a black pill into her tea cup, let the pill melt in the tea cup, and finally poured the tea into an empty water bladder.
After doing this, Qin Shuhuang instructed Ruihe, "When I got to the place in a while, after getting off the carriage in the palace, I gave Xuan Cang the snacks and water bladders, told him that this was his lunch, and let him eat them all." β
His Royal Highness is proficient in medicine and poison, thinking of the black pill, Ruihe felt that Xuan Cang was going to be unlucky, and the black pill was afraid of what kind of poison.
His Royal Highness was angry that the Xuancang Commander left suddenly, and suddenly came back, and it was also appropriate to give some small punishments.
I hope that after Xuan Cang suffers this time, he will not do this kind of thing again in the future to make His Highness unhappy.
Ruihe nodded hurriedly.
Catching a glimpse of Ruihe's expression, Qin Shuhuang knew what she was thinking.
Xie Xuanye pretended to be Xuan Cang and went out to stay by her side, so naturally she couldn't drink the decoction.
What she just put into the teacup was a pill with a similar composition, which had the same effect as the decoction Xie Xuanye drank, and he had injured his body origin this time, so he couldn't stop the medicine so quickly.
The effect of pills is not as good as that of decoctions, and it can only be used temporarily for emergency purposes.
The carriage traveled very fast, and since the flood, there had only been one light rain in the suburbs of Beijing, and the road was smooth, and it was only midnight when it reached a market on the outskirts of Beijing.
Because the surrounding construction sites start work at the hour and work at the end of the unitary hour, the most lively day of the market is before the hour, after the unitary hour, plus half an hour at noon.
It is not in the capital, there is no curfew, so the market is open very widely, and many hawkers who can endure hardships only end their work at the end of the day.
In this bazaar, a small wave of night markets was spontaneously formed, which is unique in the capital.
At this time, although the market is past its most lively, there are still many people.
It was mostly women, half-grown children, and old people.
Qin Shuhuang got out of the carriage, and Rui Miao accompanied him, walking in the direction of the market with Lord Liu.
Ruihe stopped Xuancang, who was about to follow, and handed him the snack box and water bladder, "Commander Xuancang, this is what His Highness gave you, the tea in the water bladder was brewed by His Highness himself, you must drink it." In the food box is a snack, your lunch. β
After speaking, he blessed Xuan Cang slightly, and caught up with Qin Shuhuang.
Xuan Cang hung the food box on the side of the horse, glanced at Qin Shuhuang's back, and then unscrewed the water bladder and poured it into his mouth.
The water bladder is indeed filled with tea, but the taste is different from ordinary tea, weird, and with a bitter taste.
Thinking of the meals that Qin Shuhuang had personally made before, it was not surprising that His Highness could make such tea......
Although the tea was hard to drink, Xuan Cang still poured a few sips violently, but not a drop flowed out.
After drinking half of it, Xuan Cang hung the water bladder around his waist, and before he went back today, he would drink all the tea in the water bladder.
Seeing with his own eyes, the scale of the bazaar was still beyond Qin Shuhuang's expectations.
Coming in from the market entrance with Liu Renci, the long market was unexpectedly endless!
Liu Renci's wrinkled face and eyes also lit up, although he planned these places, he had always ordered his subordinates to do things, and he hadn't come to see them in person until now.
That's why he was so surprised.
"Madame, please inside."
During this period, from time to time, old shops in Beijing would send men to set up stalls in the market, and the number of wealthy merchants who came in and out became more and more, and the people here were used to it.
Now Qin Shuhuang and his entourage are wearing the clothes of ordinary rich people, and the people still think that it is a rich family who has come to inspect the bazaar, and they don't think it's unusual.
Although the people here are poor, they can have food and clothing, build houses together and have food and meager wages, they don't have to worry about their stomachs, and their lives are rushing, and the security here is actually better than that near the capital.
Coming in from the market, there are small vendors doing all kinds of business.
Selling needles and threads, pots and pans, pickled vegetables, salted fish and salted meat, all kinds of snacks, coarse tea and snacks, etc.
Walking further in, Qin Shuhuang actually saw some big shops and small stalls in Beijing.
The Hu cake buns of the six mothers-in-law, the small silver jewelry of Deji, the coarse cloth of the silver embroidery room, and the rice wine of the Peach Blossom Garden......
The guys who were assigned to set up the stalls were all full of energy.
Apparently business is not bad.
Liu Renci also didn't expect that the bazaar, which had just been open for less than a month, could have these merchants settle in, with joy and surprise on his face.
"Uncle Liu, let's go over and take a look?"
Liu Renci brushed his beard and shook his head.
Qin Shuhuang walked to the booth and saw that the stalls were all delicate and small silver jewelry.
Many hairpins and distractions are still matching, not only these, but also silver bracelets, silver locks, silver earrings, etc.
It is very different from the goods sold in Tokuki in Kyonaka.
Qin Shuhuang of Deji on the East Market also went to visit, the faΓ§ade is very large, with three floors.
There are various textures of jewelry in the lobby, most of which are gold, silver and jade ornaments, and on the second floor, there are still various gems and pearl jewelry accessories. The third floor sells all kinds of precious decorations, and a coral ornament costs 2,000 taels!
But the style of this Deji stall in the bazaar is completely different from that of Beijing.
Qin Shuhuang frowned slightly, and he was a little suspicious that this stall was a fake Deji.
She took a silver lock and looked at it closely.
The texture of the silver lock is no problem, and the patterns on it are also auspicious, except that the workmanship is not as fine as the Deji in Beijing, and the others are not bad.
Seeing Qin Shuhuang watching with a silver lock, the enthusiastic guy smiled and said, "Madame, do you like this silver lock?" This silver lock is small and delicate, and it is perfect for children. Before the silver lock is taken out, the small one is specially placed in front of the Buddha for three days, which can bless the child with a long life and a hundred years old, healthy and strong, you are right to buy this silver lock. β
Qin Shuhuang raised his eyebrows when he saw that the guy could speak, "How did you sell this silver lock?" β
The guy saw that she had a heart, and he was even more enthusiastic, "If you buy it alone, it will be 100 yuan, if you pick another piece, the small one will give you a 20% discount, the lady is young and beautiful, and any of these jewelry next to you are worthy of you." β
"What if I want to buy three?"
The man's eyes brightened even more when he heard this, "Three small ones will give you a seven-percent discount!" β
Qin Shuhuang chose the silver lock, a silver bracelet, and a silver hairpin, a total of three taels of silver after the discount.
Lord Liu next to him has a clean breeze on his sleeves, a typical Qing official, on weekdays, the silver is handed over to the old wife, and the old servant who goes out and follows him will not bring more than one or two pieces of silver, obviously he can't pay Qin Shuhuang.
And Ruihe Ruimiao didn't expect His Highness to buy things from the stall when he went out, and he only brought fifty taels of silver tickets with him, obviously he couldn't find it.
Just as Ruihe was in a hurry to exchange for a silver ticket, Xuan Cang, who was following behind Qin Shuhuang, handed a small ingot of silver to the buddy.
