Mu Hanzhang looked at the arrogant Mu Yangwen with cold eyes, walked over slowly, raised his hand, and slapped him on the smugly smiling face.
Mu Yangwen was stunned for a moment, then turned around slowly: "Mu Hanzhang, you dare to hit me!"
"Crack!" Another slap slapped Mu Yangwen completely.
"I'm your elder brother, how can you call me by my first name? Didn't the third uncle teach you what filial piety is?" Mu Hanzhang looked down at his cousin who was beaten to the ground.
"Mu Hanzhang, don't go too far!" Seeing his younger brother being beaten, Mu Huafeng raised his fist and was about to start.
The two guards behind Mu Hanzhang pulled out the sabres at their waists with a swipe, causing everyone to step back half a step in fright, and some younger brothers immediately burst into tears.
"Stop all of them!" The rich voice of Beiweihou came from behind, and he came over angrily.
A group of people in the Mu family usually shuddered when they heard the voice of the head of the family, but Qi Qi breathed a sigh of relief when they heard it today.
"Junqing!" Jing Shao rushed over quickly and put his princess in his arms, "Are you all right?"
Mu Hanzhang pursed his lips tightly, but he couldn't help but slightly upturned. No matter how he looked at this situation, he was teaching others a lesson. This guy is really...
Seeing that there was nothing in his arms, Jing Shao turned to look at Mu Yangwen, who was covering his face, and Mu Huafeng, who forgot to put away his fists: "Master Hou, not to mention that Jun Qing is my princess, in Beiwei Hou's mansion. , Don't you have to respect your elder brother? The Mu family's filial piety etiquette is really eye-opening for this king!"
Mu Jin was so angry that his face turned blue and white, and he pointed at his two nephews and said, "You two, go face the wall with the prince, and each copy filial piety fifty times, and you won't be allowed to eat dinner if you can't finish the copy!"
Mu Yangwen wanted to say something, but Mu Jin glared back at him, so he had to turn around and leave with his brother.
"Wait!" Jing Shao let go of his princess and stopped the two of them. "The laws of the family are inseparable. If you are disrespectful to the princess, what should be the crime?"
The two brothers had no backbone without Mu Lingbao by their side. They looked at each other, and only now did they feel scared and looked to their uncle for help.
"My lord, calm down, children are ignorant." Mu Jin was also a little unable to get off the stage, and glanced at Mu Hanzhang who was standing half a step behind Jing Shao.
Seeing this situation, Mu Hanzhang stepped forward and grabbed Jing Shao's arm, and warmly persuaded: "Forget it, they are all my own brothers, so don't be angry, my lord."
When Jing Shao heard the words, he patted the slender and lustrous hand: "Princess doesn't care, that's all for today, if this king sees someone disrespectful to the princess in the future, don't blame this king for turning his face and disrespecting him. !"
A group of cousins shrank their heads, got Mu Jin's approval, and left in despair.
"Third brother, didn't the uncle send us a half-day leave because he told us that we had a distinguished guest to accompany us today? Why don't we accompany the guest again?" the youngest brother asked in a low voice.
"Shh~" The brothers on the side hurriedly covered his mouth and disappeared into the atrium in a flash.
"The old minister is not strict with the family, which makes the prince laugh." Mu Jin sighed, and looked at Mu Hanzhang, who was standing beside Jing Shao, who was tall and straight, with extraordinary bearing, and couldn't help feeling a little melancholy. Not a single one is arrogant! Now it seems that the person with the most Mu family style is this concubine who has been married off.
Returning to the palace in the afternoon, Mr. Yun hurriedly greeted him: "My lord, today, His Royal Highness the Second Prince has sent someone to come, and if you come back, hurry over there."
Jing Shao frowned, and Mu Hanzhang said, "Brother must be looking for you in a hurry, hurry up."
Jing Shao nodded, turned around and rode on Xiao Hei and ran out.
Mu Hanzhang went back to the room to take a nap. As soon as he got up, he heard from Yunzhu that Zhou Jin was visiting, and hurriedly put on his clothes and went to Tingfengge's tea room.
"Big Brother Zhou has been waiting for a long time." Mu Hanzhang apologized.
"I'm new here, and I'll be free after the afternoon." Zhou Jin smiled heartily.
When Mu Hanzhang heard the words, he relaxed and asked him what was the matter.
"Didn't you say you wanted to open a small shop last time?" Zhou Jin took a sip of tea. The tea in the palace is all tribute tea distributed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Zhou Jin, who had a good taste, couldn't help but drink a few more sips, "Everything that should be found in the capital, if the small shop is not a time-honored brand, the business will not be easy to do, unless there are some rare things."
"Rare stuff?" Seeing that he liked the tea, Mu Hanzhang gave Yunzhu a wink, and Yunzhu turned around knowingly and left.
"Well, to say that there is something missing in the capital, and it is easy to sell, I have seen one thing when I was in Jiangnan," Zhou Jin said, a narrow smile flashed on his face, "I slept last night. I suddenly remembered when I was going down."
"Oh?" Mu Hanzhang was a little curious. There are things in Jiangnan but rare in the capital. Why hasn't anyone sold them yet
Zhou Jin chuckled and took a sip of tea before spit out two words: "Perfume."
"Balm?" Mu Hanzhang was stunned, what was that? He hadn't really heard of it.
"Haha, this thing is very popular in Jiangnan. I followed my husband to the capital, only to find out that the northerners rarely use this, and only the odorless sesame oil is sold on the street." Zhou Jin's lips curled into a wicked smile. Talk about the beauty of this "balm" in detail.
There are several well-known workshops in the south of the Yangtze River, which incorporate seasonal flowers, and there are many kinds. Grease is different from oil, it can be carried in a box, and it is very easy to use when it is heated. It's just that the things are small and the price is not high. The merchants don't like this small profit, and they don't want to go so far to sell it. There are few flowers in the north, and there are no workshops doing this...
After listening to it for a long time, Mu Hanzhang finally heard what it was, and his handsome face couldn't help but turn red. The so-called balm is the grease used by men to lubricate when they are happy. The merchants are very profitable. Although this kind of thing is very easy to sell in the capital city where there are many men and women, it can’t help but the long way and the low profit. So far, few people sell it.
Zhou Jin gave Mu Hanzhang an unopened box of balm. Seeing his calm expression, Mu Hanzhang was also a man, and secretly said that he was embarrassed. He suppressed the embarrassment, took it calmly, and asked Yunzhu to return the tea he brought.
Zhou Jin didn't refuse, and took the box of tea readily, and explained that if he thought about it, he could go to him, and then go back to the business of the aftertaste building.
Jing Shao rushed to the Second Prince's Mansion and couldn't help but be a little worried when he learned that the father emperor was going to send his brother to investigate the robbery of the tribute.
"Father, this is an opportunity for me to be crowned king. It's a good thing. It's better than the first emperor's brother to go to war." Jing Chen felt very relieved when he saw his brother's worry.
The King of Southwest is a cunning person, and since he can do it well, he will definitely have a backer. No matter what his brother says, Jing Shao can't raise his brows: "How many soldiers does the royal father plan to send?"
"It takes an unannounced visit to make it clear, so I only gave me four guards and a third-rank entourage." Jing Chen said.
"How does this work?" Jing Shao almost jumped up. In his opinion, his brother's skills were not good. He was only given four guards. If he encountered a little bandit, he couldn't deal with it, let alone the King of Southwest who had a lot of troops in his hand! "I'll order five hundred people for you, follow from afar, and come back if something happens."
"Five hundred people can't hide it, no!" Jingchen refused without thinking.
After a long time of haggling, the two brothers took a step back. Jingshao sent two martial arts masters to follow his brother, and another fifty soldiers scattered to the southwest, waiting for dispatch.
After leaving the Second Prince's Mansion, Jing Shao still felt uneasy, and asked Yun Song to go to another courtyard to tell Ren Feng to pick two top experts.
Back in the Dongyuan bedroom, I saw my princess sitting alone under the lamp, holding a small delicate box in her hand in a daze.
He walked over quietly, grabbed the box, and turned it around in his hand: "What is this?" When he opened the lid of the box, there was a translucent grease inside.
"This... This is..." Mu Hanzhang was startled, and when he regained his senses, his face quickly blushed, "The sample of the goods sent by Brother Zhou today."
"Oh?" Jing Shao raised his eyebrows, slowly moved closer to his princess' ear, and blew into the agate-colored ear, "Then why is your face red?"
Mu Hanzhang pursed his lips, glared at Jing Shao, grabbed the box in his hand, turned back to the inner room and ignored him.
Jing Shao was stunned for a while, her own princess actually learned to be rude to him? Putting his fist to his lips, he smirked twice and followed into the inner room.
He naturally recognized that thing. Although no one in Beijing sells it, the Ministry of Internal Affairs buys it every year. The law stipulates that only male wives are allowed, and male concubines are not allowed, but this has no restraint on the emperor, and there are many male concubines in the palace. Besides, when a prince married a male wife, the palace would naturally reward a lot of this kind of things. There were several boxes of good perfume in the small cabinet on their beds.
When he entered the inner room, he saw his princess lying on the bed in her clothes in a fit of anger, facing the wall and ignoring him, her ears still glowing pink.
Jing Shaoren laughed and rushed up, hugging the person on the bed into his arms: "Don't tease you, this thing is really rarely sold in Beijing. If you want to do this business, it's actually very easy to do, Jiangnan Chief Soldier will befriend me. , there are letters sent every ten days, I just ask him to bring some over every time."
"Then how? If he refuses to accept money, wouldn't he be accepting bribes?" Mu Hanzhang turned his head and said with a frown, this kind of little thing is not worth much, whether it is from a friend's point of view or a vassal From a point of view, the Jiangnan general will definitely not ask for that capital. He just wanted to find a way to make a living, and if he caused trouble for Jing Shao, it would not be worth the loss.
Seeing Junqing thinking of himself so much, Jingshao couldn't help kissing the corner of his mouth: "Don't worry, that guy is notoriously stingy, he will definitely ask you for money for a lot of money, maybe he will ask for more. For the toll, I have to bargain with him."
