Brother Jia Sheshu of the Red Chamber

At this time, the prince was dressed in the clothes of ordinary people, pretending to be an ordinary person, and accompanied by a few personal guards and staff, he rode lightly and hurriedly.

Although the prince was proficient in riding and shooting, he didn't have such a long rush like this time. He was sweating profusely and his body swayed slightly, obviously a little physically exhausted.

"Your Highness, be careful!" Seeing this, the guards on the side hurriedly persuaded: "Your Highness, let's take a rest first, otherwise it will hurt the dragon's body, and it will be bad."

"I can do it alone..." The prince wanted to hold on, but his body was sore when he moved, and his limbs were trembling even more. Tired, the prince sighed helplessly: "Everyone, let's rest for a while."

"Yes!" The bodyguard came up obediently and wanted to help the prince off the horse, but the guard himself had rarely marched in such a hurry, the skin on the inner thigh was worn out, the pain was severe, and he couldn't walk, and in the end it was the prince's confidant── Staff member Shen helped the prince off the horse.

All the people were very tired, so they randomly shared food, water and big biscuits. Although the food was rough, and the big biscuits were hard to swallow because they had been left for many days, everyone swallowed them with water without saying a word , even the always squeamish prince didn't complain.

It's not that everyone doesn't want to complain, but they are too tired, they can't even walk, let alone have the strength to complain, and the prince is irritable, so everyone dare not speak too much, for fear of angering the prince again.Among the crowd, only Assistant Shen was able to move reluctantly, helping everyone get medicine, water and so on.

The guards at the side secretly glanced at Shen's staff in admiration, twitched their thumbs, and praised: "I thought brother Shen was a scholar, but I didn't expect this riding skill to be better than ours."

Staff member Shen paused for a while while helping to take the medicine, and replied casually: "I learned some riding and shooting skills from an uncle when I was young, and it's nothing."

"Your uncle must be an expert." Another guard was also a little envious, scratching his head and laughing: "My riding skills are not bad, but this leg is really worn out and hurts so much!" In the past, I didn't take the rush march seriously. Only when I was actually rushing, did I realize the sour taste of it.

Those who can serve close to the prince naturally have some riding skills. Horse riding is really nothing to them guards, but along the way, the inner thighs have been severely ground, and what's worse is that the flesh has been burned. If it is worn out, you have to continue to ride the horse. The taste of continuing to grind on the bloody flesh can only be understood after you have tasted it.

No one can help you with this kind of thing. As long as you ride for a long time, you will naturally get used to it after a thick layer of calluses. Thick meat is better."

The guards thought about it, this is also a reason, most of them were born in wealthy families in the capital, although they are warriors, they have not suffered much, and they are quite different from those who are serious and dignified recruits from poor families like Shen Auxiliary.Thinking about it this way, I don't think that Shen's staff is so powerful.

Staff member Shen was afraid that everyone would continue to think about it, so he quickly reminded: "I'm afraid we have to speed up, I guess the Holy Majesty may have found out that the prince is not there."

During this southern tour, Emperor Pingkang seemed to intend to restore the relationship between father and son with the prince. Although as an emperor, it is not easy for Emperor Pingkang to visit the sick in person, but he will definitely ask Eunuch Xia to inquire. Eunuch Xia is a shrewd person , it is not so easy to get rid of him.

"Exactly." Thinking of what would happen to his father when he found out that he was not in Longyu, the prince's heart tightened, "Let's leave quickly."

The prince has orders, even if everyone is still exhausted, they can only bite the bullet.After resting for a while, everyone got on their horses again.

"Staff Shen!" Halfway through the rush, the prince suddenly asked: "Are you sure that the flood will only submerge a few nearby counties and cities? It won't be like last time, causing troubles in the whole of Henan?"

Last time, he just wanted to cut off one of the eldest brother's hands. Unexpectedly, he just broke a dike, but it flooded most of Henan, and many counties and cities were hit by disasters. This time he did something even worse, I'm afraid...

"Prince, don't worry." Shen's staff said in a low voice: "This time we have learned the lesson from last time, and deliberately picked a low-lying place to break the dike, and let people prepare manpower, as long as the holy car is submerged, people Immediately mend the embankment, and there will never be a situation like last time."

"It's so good." The crown prince patted Shen's staff on the shoulder heavily, "You have worked hard this time. After Gu ascends the throne, I will definitely reward you a lot."

Staff Shen was overjoyed, and immediately prostrated himself and said respectfully, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

Although the crown prince has not yet ascended the throne, Shen's staff directly called him by the Holy Majesty, obviously believing that the crown prince's enthronement is a certainty.

The prince smiled slightly, and said with a smile: "The big thing is undecided, and there is no need to do so."

He had a little bit of anxiety at first, but it gradually dissipated after Shen Aide's voice called "Holy Majesty".Although this matter will sacrifice countless people in Henan, compared with his unworldly achievements, the death of a few people is nothing. Once it is done, he will be the emperor, and he will naturally be able to compensate the people in Henan.

The prince waved his hand and said, "Let's go back to Beijing quickly." He smiled ferociously, with an indescribable sternness on his face, "I can't let my good brother pick the peaches."

There is also the old fourth, who is a fool, who will be the eldest brother for a while, and his for a while, do you really think that he is the only one?After the general situation is settled, the first person he will deal with when he draws his hand is the fourth child!

Although Mo Yuanda made people pay close attention to the palaces of the princes, he had been in the court for many years, and he also knew that this matter of taking the heirloom was literally a dispute between the eldest son and the prince. Although the four princes had also shown their talents over the years, but The Fourth Prince is far away from the First Prince, let alone compete with the Crown Prince.

Therefore, Mo Yuanda initially drew attention to the First Prince's Mansion and the Crown Prince's Palace, but never expected that the one who came to buy wedding banquet supplies turned out to be the Fourth Prince's Renjun Palace, and it was specified that it was for the side concubine.

"Is this what the Renjun Prince's Mansion wants?" Mo Er pretended to be the owner of the rouge shop, and he couldn't believe his ears.

She originally thought that the daughter of the Wang family was going to the First Prince's Mansion or the Prince's Mansion, but she never expected... the person behind the scenes was actually the Fourth Prince! ?

Thinking about the relationship between the fourth prince and their young master, as well as the young master's overt and secret care in the past, Mo Er gradually became angry, wishing to rush to Renjun Wang's mansion to question the fourth prince.

"Yes! What's the problem?" The woman in charge of the other courtyard who came to buy it seemed to be annoyed in her heart, and her face turned a little bad.

Mo Er barely held back his breath, glanced left and right, and pretended to remind him kindly: "Mother, this set of rouge is the best wedding makeup set in our Jinjiang rouge shop..."

Before Mo Er could finish speaking, the woman in charge said displeasedly: "Are you afraid that our Ren County Prince's Mansion won't be able to pay the money?"

Although it is a bit more expensive, it is nothing to their Renjun Palace.

"What about over there." Even if the Ren County Prince's Mansion is short of money, the Jinling King's House will definitely not be short of money.

Mo Er smiled and said: "Naturally, I don't mean that, it's just that it's a wedding makeup set. Not only does it contain a full set of the latest makeup from our Jinjiang rouge workshop, no matter it's base makeup, lipstick, eyebrow powder or facial makeup. Everything is available, and it is also packed in an exclusive makeup box made of high-quality rosewood, which is festive, and the outside of the makeup box is painted with red lacquer."

The idea of ​​buying rouge as a makeup box was conceived by the young master many years ago. I thought it was just a small addition, but I didn't expect this makeup box to be more popular than the cosmetics in it. Many women would not hesitate to sell the same products for the makeup box. Buy and buy again.

Later, Jian Hao had a brainstorm and decided to create a full set of make-up, paired with an exclusive makeup box, called a dowry makeup set, divided into three levels: upper, middle, and lower, and after a little publicity, he immediately became a woman in Beijing when she was married. Necessary items, even if you don’t buy them yourself, the husband’s family must prepare them in the new house to show the importance they attach to the bride.

However, only the main family can use the word "marry", so the makeup box of this flower wedding set is made of red paint specially for the main room, if it is a concubine...it is not suitable.

Speaking of this, the woman in charge understood a little.Even if the side concubine is also someone who can be on the jade plate, but the side is the side, so she can be compared with the main concubine, so naturally she can't use the big red.

The woman in charge spit secretly, because the Wang family daughter is so troublesome, she is obviously a side concubine and wants to be treated like a concubine, Tete and King Renjun asked for a dowry set produced by Jinjiang Rouge Workshop, It turned out to be for this.

Think about the fourth prince who has always been the most disciplined, and the daughter of the royal family who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and the woman in charge neither wants to buy it nor dares not to buy it.

"This..." The woman in charge hesitated slightly, "Do you have a makeup set for the concubine here?"

Mo Er shook his head. Seeing the troubled woman in charge, he suggested, "We can ask the craftsman to make an unpainted cosmetic case. As long as we don't use red paint, it's passable, but the money..."

Made-to-order products are naturally more expensive.

The woman in charge breathed a sigh of relief, "This money is easy to talk about, but it must be delivered quickly, and it will be delivered to the other courtyard of Renjun Prince's Mansion within ten days."

Ten days!

Mo Er's heart tightened, and he still smiled and said: "Don't worry, ma'am, we produce products in Jinjiang, the quality is guaranteed, and we will deliver the things to the Prince Renjun's mansion within ten days."

The woman in charge nodded in satisfaction, and explained a few more words before returning home.

The things in the Jinjiang rouge workshop are never cheap, and the woman in charge bought the most expensive wedding private makeup, and the makeup box was ordered urgently, so the price naturally couldn't go down. Two silvers, the accountant didn't dare to approve without authorization, so he reported the matter to the fourth prince and concubine.

Poor Mrs. Zhang didn't know that her husband wanted to take a concubine until this time, and she was so angry that she almost lost the flesh and blood in her belly.
