Chapter 62 He is really scheming!
Ming Ting Yage is the most famous tea shop in Shengjing.
In the private room on the second floor, Ji He was drinking tea leisurely, and sitting across from him was Ji Huo, the son of Prince Gong.
The two have similar tastes, the only difference is that Ji He is afraid of the emperor, and dare not be too presumptuous before getting married. And the number of girls in Ji Huo's backyard is dazzling.
Ji Huo: "You are so boring, you didn't call me when you went to Fengzhou! It's a shame that I treat you like a younger brother."
"Calling you? You are not afraid that Cui Yun will turn around and find Prince Gong, and you will be punished later."
Ji Huo felt guilty.
The wound on his body from being beaten by Prince Gong has not fully healed yet.
"My father, the king, said in front of me every now and then that if there is half of Cui Yun, it is the blessing of the ancestors. I don't understand, what is so good about Cui Yun? But I tried to make friends with him stupidly. Last year, it was a big deal. I will send him a pair of skinny horses from Yangzhou."
Dusheng is unusually juicy, the elder sister is charming, and the younger sister is lovely, if you accept it, you will enjoy the blessings of everyone.
"Then, I was grounded by my father for a month for no reason, and I copied more than a dozen volumes of Buddhist scriptures. My hand almost broke!"
The more Ji Huo talked, the more angry he became.
"After finally getting out, it was learned that Cui Yun had done all the suffering. And the pair of sisters were also sent back to Prince Gong's mansion by him."
Ji He was overjoyed: "Then, is it so beautiful? If you are my brother, please introduce me."
Ji Huo's face was dark: "What do you see? My old man is such a decent person. He punished me with his front foot, but he took those two people into the house with his back foot. He loves me very much. My mother still refuses to talk to me."
"And the year before last, I thought he was old-fashioned and unfeminine, and even old monks wanted to worship him, so I simply dragged him around the flower house."
"If he doesn't want to go, he can just say it! But he didn't say it."
Ji Huo thought that Cui Yun was also happy.
"But what about him! Turning around, I didn't know where to find an account book. After handing it over to Uncle Huang, the whole flower building was uprooted."
"This boy, chickens use me!"
"He is really scheming!"
Ji He felt sorry for Ji Huo again, and was glad that Cui Yun never plotted against him so ruthlessly.
Speaking, Ji Huo complained again: "I'm also surprised, Uncle Huang can't tolerate sand in his eyes, why didn't he punish you when you left Shengjing this time?"
Ji He's smile faded a bit: "How can he care about me."
Ji Huo thought of something, and smiled inexplicably: "Yesterday's palace banquet, not to mention Uncle Huang, even the concubines in the palace didn't embarrass you at all, on the contrary, they had a lot of hostility towards Ji Zhuan."
"It's really pitiful. He has been a proton all these years without credit and hard work, and he is so unwelcome."
Isn’t it true, not to mention the concubine, even the mother of a country takes the opportunity to step on her.
I don’t blame her for this. Ji Yan’s biological mother, Concubine Shao Gui, is famous all over the world. They all say that Concubine Jing is the most favored nowadays, but compared to Concubine Shao, she is not one or two times worse.
Not even the queen.
At that time, no one in the harem hated Concubine Shao Gui.
"Eh!"
Ji He looked out of the window.
"Isn't that Cui Yun!"
Ji Huo didn't look good when he heard Cui Yun.
Ji He: "Wait, why did he go to the lumber shop! Could it be related to the recent case?"
Ji Huo heard the words, and he didn't care about the grievances accumulated for many years, so he looked down.
Sure enough, the man on the street looked bright and handsome, striding towards the lumber shop.
This is the largest timber shop in Shengjing. There are all kinds of solid and good wood in a complete range. Although it is a bit expensive, it is worth the money.
Buyers can choose by themselves, big ones or sailboats, house beams. Small ones can be carved into wood carvings that can be played at any time.
There are blueprint masters and engravers in the shop, which can be described as very comprehensive.
Shen Hua was followed by a little tail. She was satisfied with the high-quality rosewood, golden nanmu... and picked and picked.
The quality is beyond her expectation.
"Our store is all about conscientious business. Although the asking price is expensive, it is worth the money. Look, this is a blueprint made in the future. If the lady wants to buy it sincerely, please hire a master for the younger one. The lady can just say what she wants. , they can do it.”
The drawings are exquisite, and you really can't go wrong.
"I just don't know what the lady bought the wood for?"
Shen Wei turned her head and said to the store excitedly.
"Make a coffin."
The shopkeeper's smile froze.
Shen Wei: "The coffin I want must be unique! There is no need to engrave those birds and beasts on the coffin. It is really boring to see too many. My request is simple, just carve the night scene of Shengjing Street."
The night in Shengjing is really beautiful.
Thousands of houses are lit up, and the streets are decorated with lights.
When Shen Wei saw her back, she couldn't help but sigh.
"It doesn't have to be too difficult, but it can't be perfunctory. The hair of the people on the street should be distinct."
The store owner has difficulty breathing.
The store owner has lived for so many years, and has never seen such harsh requirements.
"No, please come back, lady."
"The shop does everything, but it definitely doesn't do anything related to the dead."
"It's not considered dead."
Shen Hua raised her hand and pointed her index finger at herself.
"I bought it for myself. There is no rush, about five years, let the master figure it out slowly, the more complicated the carving, the more exquisite it will be. The price is negotiable. The 50,000 taels is a deposit."
The store owner seemed to be choked by something, "What are you kidding, lady?"
Cui Yun entered, that's when.
Cui Rong heaved a sigh of relief and was happier than anyone else.
"Second Uncle!"
Shen Hua was immersed in the pain of rejection. She didn't even look at Cui Yun.
"Is it really not possible?"
"If you agree, I will not only give you a generous reward, but also build a bridge in the name of the shop. This is a great merit."
The store owner was very firm: "My lady, please let us go. After making the coffin, who will take care of our business in the future."
Cui Yun saw the young servant serving Cui Xuanshi at the door of the shop, and after thinking about it in a blink of an eye, he knew that this trip was Cui Xuanshi's idea.
If it were A Niang, the girl standing here at the moment would only be a lady from the Yan family. As for why it was Shen Wei, there must have been a mistake in the middle.
He witnessed the scene where Shen Hua picked out the coffin for him, but he didn't reprimand Cui Rong immediately.
I don’t even know why, but for no reason, I have the idea of watching a movie.
He stepped closer to Shen Wei, and did something that he would only do more than ten years ago.
"If Mrs. Shen wants to buy it, Cui Yun has a shop to recommend."
Shen Hua hesitated and looked at Cui Yun.
Soon, he left the timber shop under the eyes of the shopkeeper sending the plague, turned his head and followed Cui Yun to waste half a stick of incense, and entered the coffin shop.
Cui Yun: "The business here is between the royal family and officials above the fourth rank. If Mrs. Shen wants it, I can help."
Shen Wei seemed to see the support for the rest of her life.
She is picky, she will naturally want the best coffin after she dies. But it can't be careless. Only if you choose yourself, will you be the most suitable.
Shen Hua's eyes were full of dazzling stars.
She chose a pair of imperial wooden coffins that had been completed long ago. The surface of the coffin was warm and delicate, as smooth as jade. It also has a quiet nanxiang.
She stepped forward quickly, blushing and made a small request to Cui Yun.
"Can I go in and lie down and try?"
