Without the third and fourth princes, the troublesome light bulbs, the guards also left. When Ah Liu and Zhu Ying's discussion finally came to an end, when Zhang Shou learned from Ah Liu that there were only three of them left on the huge Wansui Mountain, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. But then he thought again, could the emperor still be afraid that they would cause trouble in this forbidden mountain in the palace
They had already swung on the swing, and although no one was disturbing them, Zhu Ying had no interest in going again. Instead, she urged Ah Liu to climb the tree to pick red leaves. Zhang Shou couldn't help but laugh at Ah Liu, who was jumping up and down to look for beautiful red leaves.
He had long passed the age of being a mischievous boy climbing trees and robbing bird nests, and he lacked a sense of identity with the so-called romantic red leaves. He even doubted the legend in ancient books that red leaves could convey love. However, when he saw Ah Liu getting down from the tree, Zhu Ying picking up a handful of red leaves, and then smilingly saying something, he was still dumbfounded.
"The red leaves of Wansui Mountain are very famous. If I sell a bunch of them like this, they will be worth a lot of money!"
Seeing Zhang Shou's unprecedented stupid look, Zhu Ying couldn't help but burst out laughing: "In the past, grandfathers Yingzong and Ruizong used to pick red leaves from Wansui Mountain, dry them and then write words on them to reward people. The emperor thought it was troublesome, so he would pick the red leaves from Wansui Mountain and stamp them with his personal seal to reward people as bookmarks. I have a lot of them at home. Ah Liu picked a bunch of them, I'll go find the emperor to stamp them later."
Zhang Shou couldn't help but wipe his forehead and said, "Yingying, after stamping it with the emperor's seal, you won't really sell it, right?"
"Of course I'm not selling, I'm exchanging." Zhu Ying's stunning face showed a sly smile, "This bookmark can't be kept for too long, especially once the seal fades or the appearance is damaged, then even if it is a gift from the emperor, it can only be stored in a box. So only those who receive this reward every year can afford to show off to others."
"There are a lot of things to do this year. The emperor seemed to have forgotten about this. I went to ask for favors from each family and sent them to each family. Shouldn't they give me some money for running errands?" Zhu Ying said confidently, with a bright and brilliant smile. "A promise from these people is very valuable. And most of them are the elders of the guys I wanted to recruit before."
"Otherwise, if those guys work well for me in the future and the elders in my family come to take advantage of me, wouldn't I be at a disadvantage?"
Zhang Shou finally gave Zhu Ying a thumbs up in admiration. Seeing that the young lady was immediately proud and boasted that she was very capable and that others had only been ignorant before, he praised her a few more times. Soon, he realized that Ah Liu had disappeared without a trace, so he looked around for the boy, but suddenly heard a voice from behind.
"Miss, are these red leaves enough?"
Zhang Shou turned around suddenly and saw Ah Liu lifting the hem of his clothes with both hands, and inside was a bag full of red leaves of all kinds. Seeing this scene, he saw Zhu Ying was also stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "I've only heard of plucking wool, but this is the first time I see plucking red leaves... Ah Liu, you won't become bald after plucking a tree, right?"
