Brother Donggong

Hearing what she said, I pinched my fingers and made up my mind.

There is one person on my mother's side, and counting up to eight generations, they are all honest farmers. They only kill a pig and go to the market to exchange some money for some oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar when their family has enough pigs.Although my uncle Cui Yan and my cousin Cui Bicheng are considered scholars, they are not my ancestors, so they can be completely ignored.

Counting my father, my father is a hooligan, whether he can read or not, he is not a scholar.

My father and grandfather were illiterate.When he was young, his mother had long since fallen out of favor, and no one in the entire harem cared about them, let alone studying in Yuzheng Palace, it was not easy to stutter.But this ancestor was born with supernatural powers, he could run and jump, and he could shoot geese with a bow and arrow made of clay. When he was in his 20s, all the brothers in the harem who were fighting for the throne were almost dead. The cat ran into a dead mouse and became the emperor all at once. It is said that he couldn't even understand the vernacular changes and memorials given to him by the inspector of ceremonies.Fortunately, there were many famous ministers in the cabinet at that time, as long as he, an illiterate emperor, did not make trouble, Dazheng's military and political affairs would run smoothly.

These are all easy to say, the trouble, the trouble is on my grandpa's side.

My grandfather is weak. When he was young, he was in power because of the treacherous concubine, and musk and red flowers spread all over the harem. Before his mother gave birth to him, he was given abortion pills, so he was sick from the mother's womb. It is very important for him to be born. Not easy one.He is gifted and intelligent, and he has always been able to read books with one eye and ten lines. He is knowledgeable and knowledgeable. He can embarrass Hanlin with his writing. He is also proficient in calligraphy and painting. At that time, it was an honor for a scholar to admire his paintings.I remember who once said that my grandfather's paintings and Fatie are comparable to the whole Dazheng Jiangshan.Huangtu hegemony will eventually become dung one day, but calligraphy and painting will not.Such a person, even if I stick to my teeth, I can't say "he is not a scholar".

However, how to say this.

Our family studies for reading, but no one earns a living by relying on imperial examinations and a few articles. In other words, this cannot be regarded as a serious scholar.

So, I said, "Miss Yin, I can't talk nonsense about the ancestors. Our family can't be said to be all white men, but the ancestors did not take the imperial examination to be an official for several generations. Most of them were farmers, selling pork, and cooking. A small business, and relying on the ancestors to have a good relationship with Yinde, to make peace in some disputes and get some benefits."

I thought to myself, to be an emperor, to put it bluntly, is to make peace among various forces, so that the military and political power can be used properly.

After Yin Qiluo put on the earrings, the old woman named Yinqiao held two bronze mirrors and took a picture of each other.Her eldest lady looked at herself in the mirror, and suddenly said, "I haven't slept well these days, and my complexion is a little yellow, red dates, donkey-hide gelatin, bring me some rouge powder."

The two little maids took out very beautiful ones, a small colorful box from a kiln and a white jade box, which contained rich fragrances, pearl powder and rouge respectively.

Bead powder is expensive and labor-intensive to make. First, put the fine powder into the buds of the hosta flower and steam it on high heat. When the white-hosta petals turn black, put it on the fire. Use these steamed certain powder and Cinnabar, Angelica dahurica, crushed pearls, musk, Amitabha, gold leaf, and sliced ​​brain powder are ground together to make a makeup powder for girls' home use. The bead powder has a light white and red fragrance, and all four are beautiful.

When Miss Yin touches up her makeup, she just lightly pressed a layer of bead powder, which is slightly vermilion, and it is moist and tender on the face, and her rouge is like rose ointment, and she uses a thin silver hairpin to pick a little on her lips. On the face, dip your little finger in warm water to dissolve the remaining rouge, spread it on the palm of your hand, and pat your face lightly. The color is thin but very bright, quite like peach blossom makeup.

At this time, a female medical officer reminded me of a poem:

——Bai Xue has a beautiful appearance, with bright pearls on her lips.

Yin Qiluo suddenly turned her face and asked me, "What does it matter that Mr. Cui is the treasurer of the Cui family, You Pingan?"

I originally wanted to say who had something to do with that bastard, but when I remembered what Old You had told me, I could only be a member of the Cui family company, and I couldn't say my real identity.

So I answered honestly, "These three ginsengs are the shopkeeper You asked me to come down and get one. Miss and my shopkeeper Cui Da are friends? If they are friends, please let the girl be flexible and let me take the three wild ginseng first. The Cui family bought another Liaodong ginseng and will go to Yongjing tomorrow, when the time comes, the shop will definitely choose the best one and send it to the girl."

"Shopkeeper Cui and I are not friends, nor have we met, but..."

Yin Qiluo suddenly smiled and said cunningly, "Maybe I've seen him before. Sir, I saw a high-ranking eunuch bring Beizhen Fusi to look for you that day, and he called you prince, please, Which family are you a prince?"

Yes, this girl is really cunning.

It seems that none of the women who can get mixed up with a high-grade black yarn is a fuel-efficient lamp.

She hates princes and relatives, she hates officials above the third rank, she hates scholars, and she only has kindness to ordinary people.

That day, when Cucumber came looking for me, she already knew who I was.In fact, she knew everything, and she was determined not to give me ginseng, and played with me in order to kill Cui Bicheng.

I took a step back, "Since the girl knows everything, why bother to ask?"

She was happy, "My lord, what do you think of me? I don't know how to tell fortunes and I don't have secret agents. How can I know who the stranger is who I have only met once? But it doesn't matter, anyway, you You are a prince, you want something, but I can't give it to you."

I sighed, and said in a very helpless tone, "Miss Yin, let's open the skylight and speak honestly. Shopkeeper Cui is my cousin, and Xiao Wang is praying to Wang Chengyi. Miss Yin, I don't know that shopkeeper Cui please ask Xiao Wang Come over and ask the girl for ginseng, can she change her mind?

If this is not possible, then as a prince and noble who is despised by the girl, I think I still have a way to change the lady's mind. "

I stretched out my hand, "Yin Qiluo, I order you, give me what I want."

Yin Qiluo stood up from the edge of the well, "It turns out to be Your Highness. Your Highness wears clothes. I don't want too many people to know your identity, so I won't pay respects to you. However, may I ask Your Highness, are you the shopkeeper Cui?" You came here to pick up the ginseng, but do you know why shopkeeper Cui gave the ginseng to me?"

In fact, it wasn't Lao Cui who asked me to come, it was You Pingan who asked me to come, but I don't need to explain this clearly to her.So I didn't answer, neither saying I knew nor saying I didn't know.

Yin Qiluo said, "But these are not important anymore, since the prince wants..., red dates, bring over the box of ginseng carried by Huang Lian."

The little girl over there wanted to say something, Yin Qiluo glanced at her, the little girl didn't dare to contradict her, but she was not willing to give me a look, walked aside, and walked to the side from the old servant named Huang Lian who carried a medicine basket on her back. He took out a wooden box, walked up to me and opened it, and I saw that there was an excellent Changbai Mountain wild ginseng, a total of three roots, the smallest one was seven and a half, and the first one was nine taels.Yin Qiluo said they were worth 8000 taels, which is still cheap, these three things are worth at least [-] taels.

I closed the box, smiled and cupped my hands, "Thank you for your kindness. Miss Yin, we will see you soon."

After speaking, I turned to leave.

"Wait a moment!"

Yin Qiluo stopped me, "Prince Qi, are you leaving just like that?"

I stopped, turned around, and smiled into two noodles, "I'm so messed up, I forgot the business. I haven't asked the girl what she meant. Do you want to receive cashier receipts today or ginseng tomorrow? If you If you want a banknote, I'll have someone send you a 1 taels of banknote in a while; if you don't like those vulgar things, when you get a new ginseng tomorrow, you can send it directly to the girl's house. "

Yin Qiluo shook her head lightly, "My lord, I don't want any money from you, nor will I ask you to send me ginseng. These ginsengs are used by shopkeeper Cui for disaster relief. Since shopkeeper Cui is in urgent need, these things are natural It will be returned to the original owner. However, I have a small request, please pray for the prince to agree."

"Girl, please tell me. In fact, after all, we are still in the wrong. If you give something away and pour water out, how can there be any reason like me who insists on taking it back?"

Also, I didn't expect that Old Cui used these few wilted radishes to help the disaster?

Yin Qiluo said, "Will the prince promise me that you will just do what I say without asking any reason?"

Hearing this, I shook my head.

"No. If you don't let me eat for a day, won't I starve to death? If you make me drink too much water but don't let me go to the toilet, won't it suffocate me? Miss Yin, you treat me There is a great kindness, I shouldn't say these things, but because you are kind to me, I want to tell the truth. Miss Yin, you should not have too much contact with me, and treat me, you, and your father like this , are not good."

Her father, Governor Yin, was a Jinshi in Fenghua 23, and the examiner that year was old Du Ge. Governor Yin had a magnanimous career for many years, and he followed the same path as the Du family.Although it is said that Yin Mingyang is an official of the imperial court, he always has to share the pot for meals. Everyone has a root. No matter what happens in the future, Yin Mingyang has one with Du Shoufu.Before all the situation is clarified, everyone still takes the Yangguan Road, walks the Yangguan Road, crosses the single-plank bridge, crosses the single-plank bridge, and stays away from each other, which is good for everyone.

Yin Qiluo smiled, like the last drop of dew before the sunrise stained the plump and beautiful but delicate petals, which was quite thin and enchanting.

She said, "That's why I said, I hate officials of the third grade or above. Scholars can't actually be officials. If they become big officials, they can't be regarded as serious scholars. Reading is not for understanding, not for solving doubts, but for the rank of the official. One by one is full of flowery intestines, with nine turns and eighteen turns. When others say a word, I can toss and turn for a long time when I say a word. Everyone has a study room with the words "Tolerance is greatness, no desire is strength" and "Indifferent and respectful" , In fact, the bottom of my heart is flocking to Kedi Juelu, servile and servile in order to be promoted to a higher official rank, easily abandoning faith in order to protect Wusha, and exhausted all her tricks and tricks."

Speaking of this, she glanced at me, and that look really contained everything.

"It's even more unbearable for a prince and noble relative like Prince Qi, who indulges in sensuality every day, clings to the bed, lingers and sings and weeps in the wind, flowers, snow and moon, a majestic seven-foot man, who can't carry a basket with his hands, and can't carry a burden on his shoulders. Squeezing like a woman, it seems to live this life, and regard sentimentality, sentimentality, sorrow, and illness as the top priority in life. Heroes are short of breath, and children are affectionate. No wonder there is an old saying: A gentleman is lucky, and he will be killed in the fifth life! "

All of a sudden, it was so quiet that I could even hear the sound of ashes falling on the flowers, leaves, plants and trees.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped! ——

I clapped my hands three times and said hello three times in a row.

At this time, someone next to me brought a thin silk cloak for Yin Qiluo to put on, and she said to me with a washed-very clean and big cabbage expression, "My lord, I don't want a silver ticket from you, and I don't want a ginseng from shopkeeper Cui. I just want to ask the prince to do one thing for me."

This time I waited for her to speak.

"Stay with me for a day, before the sun sets, wherever I go, the prince will be there."

The little girl's request is simply unimaginable, and it is difficult for others.

Don't say nothing, just say that I'm with her, don't care what it is, Wen Zhan, a secret agent, can know it, and if he tells Wen Zhan this time, he will probably be in trouble again because of his Hades temper.

However, I am a good person, and I don't like to owe favors very much, especially not to women.The other girls have said so, and I can't just throw back the refusal.

I touched my chin, which was still a little sore after being pinched by Wen Zhan, and suddenly felt a toothache.

I said, "Girl, it's really nice of you to scold. It's really loud and deafening. I admire it. However, even if you obey the girl's order, you have to wait for me to send the ginseng back. They are waiting for help."

Yin Qiluo, "It's natural. I pray that the prince will see you later, it's just ten miles south of the city."

In Shilipo, there are many disaster victims from the south.

I probably knew what she wanted to do, so I nodded at her.

Then, Yin Qiluo led a large group of her horses, got on the horses, walked and walked, vigorously and quickly, all of them disappeared, leaving only a white-haired woman and a little child with a mouse braid.

The mother-in-law held a broom in her hand and began to sweep the yard, and the little boy began to eat the fruit. He was holding a huge bright red pomegranate, spitting out the seeds while eating.

He looked at me and him, tilted his head and asked me, "What do you see me doing?"

"I saw you eating pomegranates, and I suddenly remembered something. My younger brother also likes to eat pomegranates. One day, he ate half of pomegranates. Because the pomegranates were too sweet, he lost all his teeth."

Xiaowa asked again, "And then?"

I said, "It hasn't grown out yet."

He looked at me in a daze, then looked at the pomegranate in his hand, suddenly wowed, threw the pomegranate and ran away.The mother-in-law felt distressed when she saw the pomegranate bones falling into the dust, and she raised her head and gave me a look when she was very dissatisfied.

I put 1 taels of ginseng under my arm and went out to get on my horse. I wanted to go inside You Ping'an, but within two steps, I turned my horse's head and went straight into the palace.

There are rare treasures from all over the world gathered in the medicine storehouse of the Inner Court Department, not to mention three ginseng like wilted radishes, I am afraid that even if it can bring dragon liver and phoenix marrow back to life, there may not be a Ganoderma lucidum grass.Originally, I was thinking to see if I could get one or two out. If I wanted something here, I would send those three wilted radishes to that little girl with sharp teeth, to save her from saying that I took advantage of her. .

Who would have thought that as soon as he arrived here, he would see Li Fang, the chief eunuch, with the handprint of the supervisor of ceremonies here.He combed his eyebrows and hair meticulously, wore a beautifully woven fine linen gown, and sat in a cool place drinking tea. A small eunuch beside him was busy like a spinning top, counting fine and precious medicinal materials.

"Your Majesty?" Li Fang was slightly surprised to see me with a clean, chubby and kind face, as if she saw a quail that was supposed to be trembling in the nest and flew out.

"I didn't see you in front of the Emperor Xiyuan just now. I thought you didn't come to the palace to say hello. Why did you come to the medicine department?"

I sat next to him, leaned over and said, "Li Fang, I came here to get a dose of shock medicine. I was assassinated yesterday, and I was still in shock after that, and it just so happened that the Tianxia Escort Bureau was bombed to the west. In a word Words, bad, bad to the extreme, Li Fang, I'll tell you this, you won't tell my father again."

Li Fang shook his head steadily, and said kindly, "No."

Me, "You already told him, didn't you?"

This time he didn't speak, just nodded.

Then I said, "So, I'm here to find some medicinal herbs, see if they can calm me down, and make up for the fact that I was scared out of my wits."

"Your Highness, it's not a coincidence that you came here. From today onwards, all the medicinal materials in the imperial pharmacy and the departmental pharmacy will be sealed and recorded, and all of them will be used by the inner court. This is why the slaves came here."

I was surprised. When You Pingan said just now, I thought he was exaggerating, but I didn't expect it to be true.

"Li Fang, even I can't do it?"

"is one."

I put my mouth against his ear, "But preparing medicine for the emperor? Is his whole body already damaged to this extent?"

Li Fang looked at me in surprise, and shook her head firmly, "No. It's just to check the warehouse."

No matter what he says, I can't take advantage here anyway.I greeted him and asked him to count slowly, and then I came out with wilted radishes.I first went to You Ping'an's place. He was shirtless and carefully grinding the medicine. I gave him the ginseng and told him that I would come to pick up the medicine after the sun went down. I turned my face and left.
