Zhen Ying was so angry that her eyes were dizzy, her brain was dizzy, she turned her head and gasped hard, and said in her heart: "She doesn't believe my words, so she's not interested." I had to deliberately leak a little bit to lure her into the bait, and then let her crack the secret letter. He turned around and said: "The prince said to the emperor that he wants to send troops to fight and pacify the world, please ask the emperor for permission." However, when he mentioned it behind his back, the words and phrases were extremely disrespectful, and he began to show signs in the hall, first deliberately calling the grandfather the emperor, which was clearly past the emperor and did not recognize him as the king. When he confessed his mistake, his expression was insincere, and he said that before the war, he would go to the 'Tokyo Mausoleum' to burn incense and worship and ask for the blessing of the ancestors. Everything is unusual, I dare to say that the prince's departure from Beijing this time will definitely be very detrimental to the emperor and the court. Her face was full of seriousness when she analyzed, and she also put away the sarcasm that often hung on her face.

Shen Shiyun smiled and waited for her to finish, and sighed: "What do you want this palace to say? Praise you for 'not seeing you for a few days, becoming a lot smarter'? A sentence of unintentional slip of the tongue can show that the prince has bad intentions? Have you never made a mistake in your mouth? Whether you are sincere or not, the important thing is the 'heart', and you are staring at your expression in vain. In addition, it is normal to worship the ancestral tomb, and the common people can also set up ancestral halls to worship, one is to fulfill filial piety, and the other is to calm the mind before the war, encourage their own beliefs, and pray for God and worship Buddha The meaning is similar. ”

Zhen Ying said: "Okay, these can be explained by you, he worships the ancestral tomb of the Qing Dynasty, why did he bring an outside......r by his side?"

Shen Shiyun said: "How do you know that it must be an outsider? Or the Fujin of Xinna, or the royal family, it is not necessarily that people marry wives and have children, and they have to report to you one by one? ”

Zhen Ying said angrily: "You recognize the example of a commoner couple today, and you are more energetic than me? Whether it is the royal family or the commoners, who wants to bring this thing to the ancestors? It's not paper money that was burned!" After speaking, he slapped a piece of paper on the table with a "snap". Shen Shiyun glanced at it indifferently, and his heart blossomed.

As early as Zhen Ying mentioned Duoduo's whereabouts, Shen Shiyun racked her brains to trick her into telling her, but she also knew that the more anxious she was, the more Zhen Ying refused to say, and she was bound to satisfy her appetite, and then put forward all kinds of tricky conditions to force her to agree. Whenever there is a good thing to inadvertently learn about the difficult things of others, they will do everything possible to listen on their behalf, and go to ask for merit, if the other party does not care at the time, then all their efforts will be in vain, and they will be lost beyond the burden at this moment, and then do not mention the conditions, just say it to him. Shen Shiyun is using this kind of psychological misunderstanding, and good eloquence, it seems that Zhen Ying's criticism is dismissed, but in fact, it is to guide her to say the whole thing like a bamboo tube like a bean, the dialogue does not delete a word, the details are accurate everywhere, and the words are emotionally aroused. At the end, he asked, "What do you think?"

Shen Shiyun was still immersed in his thoughts, and said in his heart: "When they set off, they must have solved the mystery of the drawings and received implicit instructions. Could it be that those marks were some kind of ancient Manchu mantra? At the moment, it was imperative to send a few henchmen to the Tokyo Mausoleum. I don't know where Hu Wei died, and how the task was done......" casually responded to Zhenying: "Are you confused?

Rao is Shen Shiyun is clever plan, but he didn't expect that Hu Wei was now following Duoduo and Chu Menglin on the way. Early that morning, Shen Shiyun went to the imperial garden with Zhenying, and the subordinates followed her previous instructions, several eunuchs accompanied the guards of Yinxue Palace to the palace to ambush, and Luo Jin went to persuade the emperor, Hu Wei took Yinliang to find Deshou and pay him a reward for helping.

Hu Wei was an old friend of Deshou in the palace who often played fists and drank, and he was thinking of making a joke with him. When Deshou saw Hu Wei, it was as if he saw the silver of white flowers falling from the sky, and he also stepped forward with a face full of joy, holding his hand and praising him uncontrollably.

Hu Weile listened to a few words and said with a smile: "Deshou, you seem to be particularly refreshed today?" Deshou smiled: "Of course, it is said that 'people are in good spirits when they are happy', every time I see you, my ears are also deaf, my eyes are clear, and my luck is also strong." Haha, Brother Hu, you can always bring me good luck, it's just my lucky star!" Hu Wei smiled: "Do you know why I came today?"

Deshou smiled: "You can always guess eight or nine." Yes, the two little puppets I carved for Niangniang a few days ago, are you still satisfied?" Hu Wei said: "That is very satisfied, you are loyal to Niangniang, that is, loyal to the emperor, that is, loyal to the court." A loyal servant like you must give you some reward, don't you?"

Deshou said with a smile: "Niangniang sent me to do things, she can afford me, it is best to have a reward, if you don't have it, it is also a matter of course, and you don't dare to ask for extravagance." Just say that my craftsmanship is not bad, right?" Hu Wei said: "Not bad, not bad. Your skills are good, cooperate with us to do the play, and perform even better, this is the reward you deserve. As he spoke, he shoved a silver ticket into his hand.

Deshou said: "Ah, how embarrassing is that?" but his hands firmly grasped the silver ticket. When others receive gifts, they always have to pretend to say a few words, pretending to be false, until people think that "I definitely didn't mean to take it, you must give it, I was originally an honest and honest person, and I couldn't force you to accept it, so I reluctantly accepted it". Deshou also learned to be polite, but he was afraid that others would take politeness as a blessing, so he took it honestly and unceremoniously. He is quite accomplished in micro-carving, and his fingers are also very flexible, and he quickly twisted his second finger, and his face wilted like a frosted eggplant, and he looked up at Hu Wei.

Hu Wei saw that he looked aggrieved and wanted to ask for an explanation, and said with a smile: "Don't think that more is good, less is not good." Seventy-two silver bills of one tael are not worth eleven silver bills of one hundred taels, do you say?" he deliberately made up the number to make his statement sound more plausible.

Deshou thought it was good, the number of silver tickets was small, and it must be a huge share, and Concubine Yun would never treat herself badly. His face was full of smiles again, and even his eyebrows were bent up, and he raised the silver ticket to take a look, and the smiling face disappeared in an instant, and his eyebrows became two tightly knit straight lines. His emotions fluctuated, his eyebrows rose and fell significantly, and the expression on his face was as vivid as a play.

Hu Wei couldn't help but laugh out loud, then straightened his face, and said seriously: "Concubine Yun sent you to do things, she can afford you, it is best to have a reward, if you don't, it is also a matter of course, and you should not ask for luxury." This is a repetition of what he said earlier.

Deshou was dumbfounded for a long time, and suddenly grabbed him by the collar, his beard and hair were all open, and shouted: "Don't talk to me officially, we clearly negotiated the price at the beginning." Ah, I know, Concubine Yun's words are like a mountain, it must be you, this kid, who has seen the fortune and swallowed it up! Hu Wei smiled bitterly and said: "If you have something to say, why be angry? Do you think that a silver ticket is less? If you are too little, just say it directly, we can discuss everything, and we can add more." ”

Deshou withdrew his hand and slammed him to the ground. Hu Wei took out a large stack of silver tickets from his sleeve, took out one and stuffed it to Deshou, Deshou's thumb rose and fell, and the two silver tickets were clamped together, and his face eased slightly. Hu Wei handed out the silver tickets one by one, and every time Deshou took one another, he added a smile, until a large stack was transferred to him, Hu Wei snorted coldly: "It's all here." You click a little, and it's not enough to see enough. ”

Deshou no longer has a silver ticket to collect, and has no good face, he turned to the side alone to count, he loves money like life, just took it in his heart secretly counted, but there is no room for a difference, still have to be repeatedly checked. He clicked again, clicked again, and when he was about to order the third time, Hu Wei was so annoyed that he shouted: "Hey, every inch of time and every inch of gold, if you continue to order it endlessly, the waste of gold will exceed the capital." ”

Deshou confirmed that it was correct, rolled his eyes, and said to himself: "Some people are born cheap bones, if you don't scold him, you will never hand over the money obediently, but it seems that it is good to be able to swallow a penny." Although he was talking to himself, his voice was so loud that it was clearly for Hu Wei.

Hu Wei crossed his hands on his hips, rolled his eyes, shook his head twice, snorted twice in his nose, and said, "Cheng, Cheng." Now I will say a few words to you, and promise that after you listen to it, not only will you not scold me, but you will also apologize to me and do your best to convince me. It's hard to say that I didn't lose my breath when I arrived, so I turned around and left. So I advise you to pay first, it's better to keep the bottom up. Deshou said: "Turn around and leave? Wow, I can't ask for it! It's better that you never come, otherwise I'll see you once and beat you once." ”

Hu Wei raised his hand and pressed it in the air, and said, "I'll ask a few questions, and you can think about whether it's right or wrong for yourself." Your miniature carving is a craft, and there are people who rely on it to support their families, and he sells miniature carvings, and the money he earns is the income of labor, which is justified, right?" Deshou said: "This is not nonsense?"

Hu Wei continued: "The price of folk miniature carvings will not be very high, you carve two puppets, it is your 'labor', we pay when we buy it, it is your 'income', and it is also natural, right?" Deshou said: "Nonsense is less ......" His expression froze, and his eyes were full of brilliance, as if he had figured out the joints.

Hu Wei spoke faster and said: "The first silver ticket is the money you sell after carving the puppet, called 'the reward you deserve', and the rest is the reward you give to you for your efforts, which is called one yard to one yard." Ahem, you think slowly, if you can't figure it out in one day, you can think about it for ten days, if you can't figure it out in ten days, you can think about it for a year, and you can't figure it out for a lifetime, and there are sons, grandchildren, children and grandchildren, endlessly, and there will be a day when you figure it out. Farewell. ”

Before he was about to leave, Deshou hurriedly grabbed and grabbed him, and said with a smile: "Brother Hu, I'm playing with you, how can you be really angry? This kind of joke can't be made again, the older people can't stand the joke, and almost scared me out of half of my old life." If you have such a good task in the future, please introduce it to me. ”

Hu Wei said: "In the future, forget it, I don't dare to come to see you again, you see me once, beat me once, I have nothing to do when I am full, and I come to beg for that kind of boring?

Deshou pulled his sleeve with one hand, freed up the other hand, opened the bow left and right, slapped himself two loud times, and said with a smile: "Brother Hu, I don't choose what to say, I say some bastard words, the old brother will compensate you for it, don't take it to heart." Our brothers also have to settle accounts, don't we?" Hu Wei said: "Bah, who is your own brother?" Deshou said: "Yes, yes, this is called 'not a brother, better than a brother'." ”

Hu Wei couldn't wait to laugh when he saw his wrinkled face, he couldn't help but laugh, his hands were crossed on his waist again, his head was held high, his eyes turned around the beams, he pretended to clear his throat, and said leisurely: "Who just now saw the wealth and opened his eyes, recognized the money but not the people, grabbed me by the collar, and strangled Lao Tzu almost to lose his breath, and almost went to the underworld and the king of Yama to pull the family?"

Deshou said: "Yes, my brother is not a person, I will pat you on the back." Saying that, he smoothed out the wrinkles of Hu Wei's neckline very respectfully, patted it all the way down his sleeves, dusted off the cuffs, and said: "Brother Hu's anger is gone, right? ”

Hu Wei passed the addiction of being served, his heart blossomed, his face was still holding a shelf, he glanced at him, and said: "What together? The wealth is given to you alone, and the reward given by our mother, I will hand over a lot of money to you, and I didn't leave a single star and a half without permission, and you pointed at your nose and scolded you for seeing the wealth, do you say that you are wronged? Am I that kind of person? Where is the reason?"
