Chapter 208: Dedication
For three days, Chen Kan never stepped out of the door.
Then he gained a reputation as an iron man in the market.
On the morning of the third day, Zhu Yuelan, who was in high spirits, was preparing the gifts she needed to return to the door.
Chen Kan was lying on the recliner in the warehouse, not wanting to move at all.
Back pain!
The warehouse has been rummaged over by Zhu Yuelan, but she is still not satisfied.
Because there is nothing else in the treasury of the Chen Mansion, it is all money!
Seeing her flipping there for a long time, Chen Kan turned over a little bored: "It's almost enough, Your Majesty is rich all over the world, can you look at these things you picked?" β
Zhu Yuelan didn't reply and said: "It's about to pass Yuanzheng, we also have to show filial piety." β
"Yuan Zheng?"
Chen Kan rolled over and sat up, with a thoughtful expression in his eyes.
"Have I been in Daming for half a year?"
muttering to himself, Chen Kan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Time flies really fast." β
"I'll pick it."
Chen Kan jumped out of the rocking chair, took a red coral from Zhu Yuelan's hand and put it back on the shelf.
Since it is Yuan Zheng, he has to pat Zhu Di's ass well.
Sending money, it's too cheesy, sending jewelry, Zhu Di is not short of those things.
Chen Kan thought for a moment and looked at a golden-winged Dapeng bird made of pure gold at the top of the shelf.
The pure gold golden-winged Dapeng bird is just a foil, and the real highlight is the night pearl supported by the two wings of the Peng bird.
The night pearl the size of a fist, held up by a bird made of gold, exudes an intoxicating light.
Peng bird is a native product that Chen Kan brought back from Taiyuan, Peng bird spreads its wings, has the meaning of taking off.
But now, since you want to shoot Zhu Di's ass, it is definitely impossible not to bleed much.
Chen Kan took Peng Niao off the shelf, and immediately provoked Zhu Yuelan to exclaim: "You don't want to take this thing to my father, right?" β
"No, no, absolutely not, it's too expensive."
Chen Kan took down the fist-sized night pearl very indifferently, handed it to Zhu Yuelan and said, "Take it and dig a pit and bury it." β
"Buried?"
Zhu Yuelan's eyes widened.
Such a big night pearl, just buried like this?
"That's right!"
Chen Kan nodded and said, "The farther away from our Chen Mansion is buried, the better." β
In Chen Kan's view, something like the Night Pearl is a natural radioactive source.
There is nothing wrong with observing it once in a while, and playing with it all year round is tantamount to chronic suicide.
If this kind of thing is given to Zhu Di, it is killing people in disguise.
Chen Kan took a fancy to the bottom support of this golden-winged Dapeng bird, and it would be perfect to replace the night pearl held on the golden-winged Dapeng bird with a globe.
Giving it to Zhu Di, without looking clichΓ©, and broadening Zhu Di's horizons, is simply a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.
Seeing that Chen Kan was holding a golden-winged Dapeng bird made of gold, Zhu Yuelan finally understood the true meaning of the idiom of buying and returning pearls.
How much is it worth such a big night pearl?
Losers aren't such a loser, right?
She secretly stuffed the night pearl into her arms, preparing to hide in a place that no one knew, and hide and watch it slowly.
Chen Kan saw her little Jiujiu at a glance, and explained seriously: "The light emitted by this thing is actually a kind of radioactive substance that is harmful to the human body, and people who hold it all year round will lose their lives, so throw it away, you like shiny things, and I will get you one that is not harmful to your body in the future." β
"Will you do it?"
"Yes!"
Zhu Yuelan's small face was full of entanglement, the night pearl has been synonymous with luxury goods since ancient times, especially the lethality of women, which is by no means ordinary.
Putting the golden-winged Dapeng bird in his hand, Chen Kan turned his head to look at Zhu Yuelan with a tangled face, reached out and took out the Night Pearl from her arms, and said lightly: "Let's go, I have already thought about what gift to give to Your Majesty." β
The Night Pearl was taken away by Chen Kan, and Zhu Yuelan suddenly had a painful look on her face.
"You said, you want to make me one that is not harmful to my body."
"Of course, I'm going to lie to you?"
"Have you lied to me less?"
β¦β¦
Handing over the Night Pearl to Yun Cheng to deal with, Chen Kan found a round wooden ball that had been polished to an unusually smooth finish.
He took a chisel, a small carving knife, and paint and went into the study.
Then he stayed in the study until noon.
"Hurry up, let's go, it's too late later......"
Zhu Yuelan stood outside the study angrily, urging constantly.
Chen Kan had been in the study for more than an hour, and he didn't know what he was doing in the study.
"Wait, it'll be right away."
Chen Kan's voice came from the study, and Zhu Yuelan said dissatisfiedly: "How long will you have to wait?" β
"Soon!"
Chen Kan was very fast, just half an hour passed.
When Chen Kan opened the door, he saw Zhu Yuelan puffing out his cheeks, staring at him like a little koala.
Chen Kan touched his nose and said with some embarrassment: "Let's go." β
"You're going to wear this?"
Zhu Yuelan's eyes were full of two big words.
Chen Kan looked down at the body he was wearing, raised his head and said blankly, "Is there any problem?" β
As soon as Chen Kan said this, Zhu Yuelan was so angry that he rolled his eyes again: "Okay, okay, no problem, let's go quickly!" β
"Wait!"
Chen Kan suddenly seemed to think of something, turned around and ran towards the warehouse again.
Prepare a beautiful gift, how can you not have a good-looking gift box?
Taking out a suitably sized and beautifully carved sandalwood box from the storeroom, and putting the golden-winged Dapeng bird holding the globe into it, Chen Kan nodded with satisfaction.
Bribing Zhu Di, this is a technical job.
As the ruler of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di has never seen any exquisite gifts.
If you want to give a gift, you have to do what you like, and you have to give it in a unique way.
Chen Kan walked outside the door with the gift box, and Zhu Yuelan had already gotten into the carriage.
Chen Kan got into the carriage, looked at her puffed up appearance, and suddenly said with a flattering smile on her face: "Madame, don't worry, the gift prepared for your husband for Your Majesty this time will definitely shock Your Majesty's jaw." β
"Hmph, who's your lady?"
Obviously, Zhu Yuelan was still dissatisfied with what Chen Kan had made him wait for an hour and a half.
However, the gift that Chen Kan could shake His Majesty's jaw off still aroused her curiosity.
Seeing that she looked angry and curious, Chen Kan smiled secretly in his heart.
But his face was serious, and he asked, "Isn't Madame curious about what gifts she has prepared for her husband for His Majesty?" β
Zhu Yuelan said coldly: "I'm not curious! β
"Really not curious?"
"Hey, I was going to give you a sneak peek of Madame......"
"Since Madame doesn't want to see it, then forget it."
Chen Kan's expression was a little weird, and his tone was also yin and yang.
But Zhu Yuelan ate this set, looked at the gift box that Chen Kan was holding in his arms, and his two little hands poked out like lightning.
Chen Kan's body was crooked, Zhu Yuelan did not succeed, and his big eyes were instantly filled with grievances.
She stretched out her palm: "Show me!" β
Chen Kan covered the box with a robe and said with a strange smile: "Aren't you curious?" β
"Show me."
Zhu Yuelan was not angry, and he was about to snatch it when he flew away.
But she was a little girl, where would Chen Kan's opponent be, and she was soon held in Chen Kan's arms and panting.
"You're necrotic......"
"Aha......"
Chen Kan just laughed weirdly, he was too experienced in dealing with this kind of little girl.
Coax?
Inexistent!
Chen Kan hugged her waist tightly and asked, "Is your anger gone?" β
Zhu Yuelan didn't say anything, but just twisted her head to the side very arrogantly.
"Humph!"
Seeing this, Chen Kan took out the gift box from his robe and opened it, and said regretfully: "There is only one gift in the world, and you can't see it when you enter the palace to give it to Your Majesty?" β
Zhu Yuelan glanced at it with her spare eyes, and suddenly said in disgust: "Isn't it just a wooden ball, what's so strange?" β
"This is not an ordinary wooden ball, this is the wooden ball in Wang Weishi!"
Chen Kan handed the wooden ball to her eyes and said with a smile: "Look at what is carved on the ball?" β
"What's that?"
Under Chen Kan's persuasion, Zhu Yuelan frowned and looked at the little wooden ball carefully.
Seeing that her eyes were attracted, Chen Kan explained: "This is called the globe, and it is the real appearance of the land we live in. β
Zhu Yuelan was a little suspicious: "You mean, we live on the same ball?" β
Chen Kan showed eight teeth and said with a smile: "Yes! β
"Is that all we have in the Ming Dynasty?"
Zhu Yuelan's exclamation suddenly sounded in the carriage.
β¦β¦
The carriage staggered to the gate of Hongwu Gate.
Chen Kan was the first to jump out of the carriage and stretched out his hand to help Zhu Yuelan down.
At this time, the puffing expression on Zhu Yuelan's face had disappeared, but the difference was that there was a trace of surprise and disbelief in the depths of his eyes.
Ignoring the surprised eyes of the palace people, the two walked into Hongwu Gate hand in hand.
Zhu Yuelan asked with some solemnity: "Husband, are what you just said true?" If not, it is the crime of deception. β
Chen Kan smiled faintly and said: "It's more real than real, don't worry, how can I deceive Your Majesty?" β
It wasn't until they reached the side hall of Fengtian Hall that the two let go of their hands.
The little eunuch who learned the news early was guarding the door of the main hall, and when he saw Chen Kan and Princess Changning coming together, he hurriedly greeted him and said: "Your Royal Highness the Princess, Master Horse, Long Live Lord has an explanation, you can just go in directly when you come, there is no need to report." β
"It's hard work!"
Chen Kan arched his hand towards the servant, and the little eunuch was instantly frightened.
Hell yes!
How could this horse master be so polite today?
The sun is coming out in the west?
Chen Kan didn't know how much psychological shadow he had brought to the little eunuch by reining in his arrogant nature.
He just felt that since he was married, his temperament should be stable.
After all, there is a family, isn't it?
Holding Zhu Yuelan's hand, the two walked into the side hall.
Zhu Di has been handling official business for thousands of years.
The eunuch who was waiting beside him was also changed from the little eunuch Chen Kan was familiar with to Ma He.
Seeing her daughter and son-in-law walking in hand in hand, her aunt's smile suddenly appeared on her face.
For this newcomer, he is optimistic from the bottom of his heart.
Especially when she heard the queen say that Chen Kan only planned to be a couple with Zhu Yuelan for the rest of his life, he was extremely satisfied with the son-in-law he personally selected.
This son-in-law is talented and handsome, although there are black spots in his family background, but the fact that his teacher is the leader of Confucianism alone can make up for the lack of his family background.
The key is that he has a deep love for his daughter, and he doesn't have to worry about his daughter being wronged at all.
The two bent down towards Zhu Di and saluted: "The child has seen his father." β
"My son-in-law meets my father-in-law."
Today, Chen Kan entered the palace as Zhu Di's son-in-law, so naturally he didn't have to care about the monarch and ministers.
Zhu Di rarely stretched out his hand to help the two of them up, and said with a smile: "No need to be polite." β
Seeing the two of them get up, Zhu Di smiled at Zhu Yuelan and said, "Your queen mother is waiting for you in the palace, go ahead." β
Hearing this, Zhu Yuelan bowed to Zhu Di Yingying again and said, "My daughter went." β
"Go ahead!"
After Zhu Yuelan walked towards the harem under the guidance of the palace people, Zhu Di said lightly to Chen Kan: "Sit down." β
"Father-in-law Xie."
Chen Kan sat down on the seat next to him with a wooden box in his arms, and noticed that Zhu Di had already looked at the thing in his arms.
Chen Kan immediately got up and came to Zhu Di's side and put the wooden box in his arms on the table.
This move immediately attracted the attention of Ma He, who was standing on the side.
"What do you mean, Lord Chen?"
He squinted his eyes, and his whole person was like a tiger ready to attack, and he couldn't see a trace of the feminine aura that belonged to the eunuch at all.
Chen Kan has long known the particularity of Zheng He in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di is called a dog slave when he calls other eunuchs, and when he calls Ma He, he is called a general.
Zheng He, who has not yet become famous, already has a trace of fierceness on his body that makes Chen Kan difficult to resist.
He hurriedly explained: "It's approaching Yuanzheng, this is just a little bit of heart that the younger generation dedicates to the elders. β
Hearing this, the look of vigilance on Ma He's face was slightly cloudy, and he turned his head to look at Zhu Di and asked, "Long live, how about the slave maid open it for you?" β
Zhu Di was very satisfied with Ma He's nervousness, touched his beard and smiled: "It's okay, this kid can't hurt me, and he doesn't have the guts." β
Of course, Chen Kan knew what Ma He was worried about, and immediately smiled: "If the general can't trust the lower officials, it is better for the lower officials to open it." β
After speaking, without waiting for the two to speak, Chen Kan opened the sandalwood box and married the golden-winged Dapeng bird in the box.
Zhu Di teased: "You kid just use this thing to fool me, do I lack your little gold, what about the night pearl above?" β
Zhu Di is knowledgeable, and he can see the true usefulness of the golden-winged Dapeng bird at a glance.
He didn't really want the night pearl that had disappeared, but he was just embarrassed by Chen Kan.
Chen Kan said with a smile: "The night pearl is worthless, it was thrown away by the son-in-law, and the son-in-law offered His Majesty is a real priceless treasure, Your Majesty might as well watch it carefully." β
"Oh?"
Zhu Di stretched out his hand, took off the round wooden ball on the golden-winged Dapeng bird, and took it in his hand to look at it carefully.
After a while, Zhu Di discovered the clues, and his face suddenly became solemn.
He said in a deep voice, "Where did you get this thing?" β
The globe is not a rare thing in the Ming Dynasty, and during the Apocalypse, the Ming Dynasty has already produced the world's first globe marked with Chinese characters.
But...... It's the year of Yongle.
