After the palace maid's counterattack, the tyrant was fascinated

After Chu Yanzhou came out of Shen's Shopping Mall, he first went back to his home, and then went into the palace with a bunch of things.

At this time, Xuanyuan Yin was reading the memorial in the Imperial Study Room. Hearing the announcement from Eunuch Xu that Chu Yanzhou was asking for an audience, he thought it was because of some important event that he entered the palace at this time, so he immediately had someone call him in.

What Xuanyuan Yin didn't expect was that Chu Yanzhou came in with a bunch of things.

Xuanyuan Yin looked at the things Chu Yanzhou placed on the table and asked with some confusion: "Prime Minister Chu, what are these? Why did you bring so many things into the palace?"

After Chu Yanzhou put down his things, he said excitedly: "Your Majesty, I have learned a lot this time!"

Xuanyuan Yin struggled to understand the meaning of Chu Yanzhou's words. Seeing the excitement on his face, he must have encountered something that made him happy!

"Why did Prime Minister Chu say this?"

Chu Yanzhou said as he picked up an exquisite box from the table, and then carefully brought it in front of Xuanyuan Yin.

"Your Majesty, please open it quickly and see what strange things I have bought."

Chu Yanzhou said this as if offering a treasure, fearing that the box in his hand would be damaged.

Xuanyuan Yin took the box from Chu Yanzhou's hand, and slowly opened the box under his expectation. He saw a round thing with a chain hanging on it, placed inside the box.

"What's this?"

Xuanyuan Yin looked surprised. He took out the contents of the box and looked again and again to find that the objects in the circle were moving. He looked at Chu Yanzhou in confusion.

"Your Majesty, this thing is called a pocket watch. It is specially used to tell the time. Isn't it amazing?"

Chu Yanzhou said with an air of dignity, and explained to Xuanyuan Yin how to use the pocket watch.

"Pocket watch?"

Xuanyuan Yin looked at the small thing in his hand and thought that it was really strange that this thing could tell the time!

In ancient times, if you wanted to know the time, you would rely on the sun, burning incense, or using a copper pot with a drip to determine the time.

The pocket watch Chu Yanzhou brought had hands on it and a timetable on the dial. It was more convenient to determine the time based on where the hands pointed.

Xuanyuan Yin looked at the pocket watch in his hand and exclaimed: "The person who can make this pocket watch must be an extraordinary person. This kind of talent must not be buried!"

"Prime Minister Chu, where did you buy this pocket watch?"

Xuanyuan Yin is very interested in the pocket watch. It would be great if he could find the owner who made it. Maybe it can be used by him and serve the Canglan Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, you don't know that a new shopping mall opened in Kyoto today is very lively. I'm afraid half of the people in Kyoto went to join in the fun. I bought this pocket watch and a bunch of strange things from there! "

Chu Yanzhou vividly described the scene of today's Shen's Shopping Mall to Xuanyuan Yin, and even he was frightened.

After Xuanyuan heard this, he frowned and asked, "Shopping mall? What is this?"

This was the first time that Xuanyuan Yin heard such novel words from Chu Yanzhou's mouth, and he was very interested in it. He looked at Chu Yanzhou and asked him to explain it to him.

"Your Majesty, in fact, the shopping mall is just like the stores in Kyoto, except that it is in a large shop. It is divided into three floors. There are several shops on each floor. The things sold inside are different and very novel. , because the shops are all in a large space, it is called a shopping mall.

Moreover, the things sold in this mall are all things that have never been seen before. Not only are the clothes fashionable and unique, but the food they sell also tastes great. There are also many weird gadgets, attracting many customers.

I also heard that before the opening, the mall sent advertising leaflets to the people to vigorously build momentum for the opening of the mall. The most surprising thing is that it opens today. Everything has discounts, and if you spend more and more money, you can also participate lottery. "

After Chu Yanzhou finished speaking, he showed Xuanyuan Yin the prize he had won in the lottery, his face full of pride.

Chu Yanzhou told Xuanyuan everything he had learned. This was the first time he knew that the shopping mall was obtained in this way, and the opening method this time was even more unique.

After hearing this, Xuanyuan Yin couldn't help but praise with admiration: "Yes, this idea is very novel! I didn't expect that there are such talented people in Kyoto. Have you ever asked who opened this shopping mall?"

Chu Yanzhou knew that Xuanyuan Yin would ask, so he had already inquired about it. Unexpectedly, this shopping mall was actually related to Yun Sanluo.

"Back to the emperor, the shopping mall is owned by the Shen family!"

When Chu Yanzhou said this, Xuanyuan Yin was silent for a while. Then he remembered something and asked with some uncertainty: "The Shen family, is Concubine Ning's maternal ancestor's family?"

Chu Yanzhou nodded after hearing this and said: "Yes, the emperor is owned by Concubine Ning's grandfather Shen Hongde's family!"

Xuanyuan Yin became even more interested when she heard that the shopping mall was run by Yun Sanluo's grandfather's family.

Could it be that there were so many weird things? If it was opened by Concubine Ning's grandfather's house, it would make sense. After all, Yun Sanluo would often come up with things they had never seen before.

"This Shen family is strange. They used to be the richest merchants in Kyoto, but they declined for some reason. However, the Shen family has been in decline for so many years. According to Nemoto Chen's previous investigation, the Shen family has always lived a life of poverty. I don't know why they You actually have the ability to open such a big shopping mall?

Your Majesty, you didn't see that scene. It was really spectacular. It was probably the most shocking of all store openings in the history of Kyoto! "

Chu Yanzhou was amazed at the scene he saw, and he still feels a little unbelievable until now.

After Xuanyuan Yin heard Chu Yanzhou's words, he thought of something. The Shen family naturally did not have such ability. If they did, they would not wait until now.

"The reason why the Shen family can open a shopping mall is probably because there is help behind the scenes. Otherwise, with the Shen family's ability, I'm afraid it wouldn't be possible!"

Xuanyuan Yin said this very calmly, but Chu Yanzhou on the side became less calm after hearing it, as if he had discovered something important.

Chu Yanzhou said with a surprised look on his face: "Your Majesty, you suspect that there is someone helping the Shen family behind the scenes. Could it be that this person is Concubine Ning?"

Xuanyuan Yin did not nod, but said: "I'm not 100% sure, but I heard you said that the shopping mall is run by the Shen family. The only person I can think of who is so powerful is Concubine Ning!"

Chu Yanzhou was awakened by Xuanyuan Yin's words. He patted his forehead and said, "Yes! I'm afraid only Concubine Ning can make such a magical thing as a pocket watch. Could it be that she wasn't dazzled today? That person is really It’s Concubine Ning!”

Chu Yanzhou muttered the last words in a low voice, but Xuanyuan Yin still heard him.
