The scribe sent by Mu Mansion mentioned his name. Was it an edict or a professor? It happened that Zhu Gaoxu was in a state of confusion before he came, and he forgot about it. The scribe had just said that not long ago, Zhu Gaoxu was embarrassed to ask again.
The scribe said, "Rare objects are not only collected by the Mu Mansion. In Yunnan, the Shen Xu family that has them in the Mu Mansion have them, and the Shen Xu family that does not have them in the Mu Mansion may also have them."
"There is such a person? Who is Shen Xu?" Zhu Gaoxu said a little surprised.
For some reason, when this person was mentioned, all the officials became excited and started talking among themselves. Another voice said, "His Royal Highness the King of Han does not know about the Shen Xu family?"
Zhu Gaoxu thought to himself: I've just arrived a few days ago, and I don't know anyone in Yunnan. Isn't it normal?
The scribe bowed and said, "In response to your highness,
When Shen Xu came out of the door, Zhu Gaoxu was very surprised. When he saw her with his own eyes, he realized that it was different from what he imagined.She was indeed fair-skinned and beautiful. She wore a dark blue skirt and dark clothes that made her skin look even more white, but she looked somewhat solemn. This is probably because formal wear in ancient and modern times mostly uses dark colors.Shen Xu's figure is tall and slender, but she looks round and smooth everywhere. The round and smooth forehead, the big round eyes under the long eyelashes of single eyelids; and the well-cut skirt, the silk material is very soft and clings to the body, making the shoulders round and small, and the chest line round and full.After hearing Hou Hai's report, Zhu Gaoxu originally thought that Mrs. Shen Xu was a glamorous woman with heavy makeup and jewels, but he didn't expect her to look like this.At first glance, her whole body was almost only blue and
The carved wooden box was brought up. Zhu Gaoxu looked for the mechanism to open the box. The middle-aged woman leaned forward and pressed it gently, and the wooden box opened. What catches the eye is an old human-shaped ginseng. It is said that many ginseng plants grow together in one old ginseng, and this female ginseng plant should be one of them.Zhu Gaoxu couldn't tell the truth from the false, but since he was a prince and the other party was the head of the Shen family, there shouldn't be anything fake. He looked at the ginseng for a while, then raised his head and glanced at Shen Xu.Mrs. Shen Xu met his gaze and smiled, but did not say anything to disturb Zhu Gaoxu. She smiled without showing her teeth, her eyes were shaped like half moons, and she was full of smiles.Zhu Gaoxu closed the wooden box and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Shen, for your generous gift."Shen Xu said, "Your Highness, you're welcome."Zhu Gaoxu called Wang Gui, who was
In the study room of Prince Han's Mansion, Zhu Gaoxu picked up a piece of paper with writing on it and read it three times attentively. Then he blew the wet ink on it a few times. He soon became impatient, so he used a jade paperweight to hold down the rice paper."Is this Panax notoginseng?" Zhu Gaoxu pointed to the mud-colored thing in the box that was bigger than Jerusalem artichoke.Wang Gui said hurriedly, "Your Highness, this is Panax notoginseng, a three-year-old top-quality product, known locally as Leopard Head. I asked Divine Doctor Chen, and he said this Panax notoginseng has the effect of nourishing qi and blood, and can also cure headaches. This product is only available in Yunnan, and Panax notoginseng of this quality is large and rare, and it is extremely difficult to buy outside of Yunnan."He paused and continued, "But the palace has tributes from all over the world, so there should be 370,000 yuan.""It doesn't matter whether there is
When several eunuchs were dragged to the gate tower, a puddle of water was left on the ground. They were so frightened that they just begged for mercy.Just then, a voice said, "Wait!"When Zhu Gaochi looked back, he saw that the person who spoke was the Crown Princess Zhang. In this mansion, after he gave the order, the only person who could stop him was Zhang. Zhu Gaochi frowned, but did not speak in a hurry.The eunuchs who were about to be beaten to death broke free, crawled to Zhang and knelt down, "Thank you, Crown Princess, you are so kind-hearted, thank you..."Zhang said coldly, "Don't thank me! Whether you can survive or not is up to the prince." She knelt down and said, "No one wants to see such a tragedy, but it has already happened. Now that things have come to this, prince, please calm down and deal with them later, okay? Let's go in and sit for a while."Zhu Gaochi glanced at her and walked into the house without saying a word.
After sending Wang Gui and others away from Yunnan Mansion, Mu Sheng still did not come to the Han Prince's Mansion to meet them. Mu Sheng is just a marquis; Zhu Gaoxu is a prince. It is impossible to go to see Mu Sheng first. He can only wait and see what is going on.Zhu Gaoxu feels that people still need to meet and communicate. Even if those etiquettes are a bit false, the basic attitudes such as goodwill, malice, or wariness can still be judged; otherwise, they can only be imagined and suspicious of each other.To understand the situation in Yunnan Mansion, in addition to looking for Mu Mansion, which has been running Yunnan for many years, Zhu Gaoxu felt that Shen Xu might also know a lot.At this time, he thought of the pear garden south of Caihaizi. Mrs. Shen Xu had said that there would be a VIP seat reserved for him....The prince's trip was a big one, but today Zhu Gaoxu wore his old light purple robe and went out with only Wei Da and
The girl dressed as a man looked at the receipt and said, "Please redeem this receipt for him."Little brother? Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said, "Forget it. That little brother just broke things just now because he wanted to punish evil and promote good. I just sat there and didn't do anything. So I'll just clean up the mess."The young lady was not persistent. "Brother Hong is generous and kind, and I admire you very much." She paused and said, "See you later. Goodbye."Zhu Gaoxu also said goodbye to her and turned around and shouted, "Check out!"He took a look and saw the two girls going into the theater.When counting the money, Zhu Gaoxu wanted to use the Ming Dynasty Treasure Notes, after all, they were printed by his family. But he found that the Ming Dynasty Treasure Notes had depreciated in Yunnan Province, and the ratio of notes to money was 50 to 1! It seemed that the Ming Dynasty court could no longer play with this advanced paper currency.
"When a man is born, his nature is good. Natures are similar, but habits make them different..." The sound of a man reading a book came from the Wenlou of the Han Palace. When Zhu Gaoxu walked to the door and saw a large group of young men reciting the primer, he thought the scene was a bit weird.However, this strange thing was created by him. The people who came to study were soldiers from the "Royal Palace Guarding Hundred Households" and the Royal Palace Guard. Zhu Gaoxu found that more than half of these men were illiterate. How could they be used if they were illiterate?The bright and clean lobby of Wenlou, originally a place where elegant Confucian scholars discussed classics, was now filled with two or three hundred dark-skinned men sitting upright. Hou Hai, who was teaching, paced among the crowd while reading.Hou Hai was the first to see Zhu Gaoxu. He quickly put down the book in his hand, bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."Wang Bin
Although the Mu Mansion is a marquis's mansion, it is larger than the average prince's mansion.Geng Hao was led by a maid for a long time before he reached the gatehouse of the inner house. At this moment, a pleasant voice asked, "When did cousin come?"The girl who caught up with him from behind, with big eyes and a small chin, was Geng Hao's cousin, Mu Zhen, the eldest daughter of Mu Sheng. She was no longer a little girl, but had grown into a pretty girl, with beautiful eyes that were smiling without smiling, and quite charming.She panted but smiled, "I just passed by here and suddenly saw my cousin. I almost didn't recognize him."Geng Hao glanced behind her and thought that she might have known that he was talking to the old lady just now, but she was pretending to have seen it. Geng Hao bowed and said, "Cousin, long time no see."Mu Zhen smiled lightly and said to the maid beside Geng Hao, "You go back and serve your grandmother. My cousi
