Ten Miles of Red Makeup: The Legend of Ming Yu

Chapter 298 Gossip
After entering the palace and getting off the carriage, Ming concubine pushed him forward, looked around for a while, and then said, "Do you really want to buy all the things that were robbed from Duke Cheng's mansion? , A lot of money, I rescued the young master of the Shen family in Liuzhou, and the Shen family has a pawn shop in Beijing, if I come forward to find the Shen family, the Shen family will definitely sell me some noodles."

Sitting in a wheelchair, Chu Mochen said, "I am the son of Prince Zhennan, I even robbed Cheng Guogong's mansion, and now I can't pawn my things. I don't know how many people are waiting to see the joke of the master. Let me go and ask Master Shen for help." , are you out of your mind?"

Your brain is broken!
Ming Yu barked her teeth and claws at the back of his head.

Chu Mochen looked back, Ming concubine hurriedly put away the expression on her face, with a courteous smile on her face, just like a little daughter-in-law.

When Chu Mochen saw it, he said, "The emperor trusts my father and loves me very much. I will ask the emperor to find someone with good eyesight and understanding to evaluate the price. After the limelight, can those pawn shops not accept it? Originally, I I didn't intend to make money either, Cheng Guogong forced me to earn a few bottles of ointment money, I have no reason not to accept it, Lord, I will eat everything, I just don't suffer."

The voice got louder and louder, Ming concubine nervously looked around and said, "Don't speak so loudly, be careful not to be overheard."

Chu Mochen snorted heavily, "Since I dare to do it, I'm afraid they won't be able to eavesdrop, if I dare to spread my gossip, throw him into the lotus pond to feed the fish!"

The voice was domineering and ferocious, and the father-in-law who was eavesdropping was frightened, and he didn't dare to eavesdrop any more, and ran away in a hurry.

Ming concubine pushed Chu Mochen straight to the imperial study room, where the emperor happened to be reviewing the memorial.

Hearing the two of them coming, seven words flashed in the emperor's mind: If you have nothing to do, go to the Three Treasures Hall.

Especially Chu Mochen, since he entered the palace since he was a child, he has never greeted him in a serious manner, especially now that he has a broken leg and it is inconvenient to travel.

Chu Mochen is the only son of Zhennan King. Zhennan King holds a large army and is powerful. A son must be the first to think of his own father when he has something to do, and then he is the emperor. If Zhennan King shirks things, he must Tricky.

Raising his hand to rub his temples, the emperor said, "Let them in."

The little father-in-law hurried out, and after a while, the sound of the wheel of the wheelchair came.

Seeing Chu Mochen, the emperor smiled and said, "Shouldn't you have sold something from Duke Cheng's mansion and sent the bank notes to the palace yourself?"

Chu Mochen touched his face, did he look like something good happened?
Sighing, Chu Mochen said gloomyly, "Don't mention it, I have Zhang Liang's plan, and they have a wall ladder, I want to pawn things off, but there are so many pawnshops in Kyoto, and none of them dare to accept it."

Sure enough, it was no good looking for him, the emperor sat upright and said, "Then why are you entering the palace?"

Chu Mochen leaned on the wheelchair and said, "I can't keep things in my hands without disposing of them. After much deliberation, I decided to bring them directly into the palace and ask the emperor to find someone to estimate the value, so that those pawnshops can't make a bad bid." Come prevaricate me."

The emperor said that things are worth that price, who would dare to say otherwise?
For the emperor, such a small matter is just a matter of lip service, and Eunuch Deshun recommended, "Your majesty, Xiao Xizi, who is in charge of your small warehouse, has very sharp eyesight. Every 100 taels, why don't you let him come over to estimate the price?"

The emperor nodded, "Just him."

Eunuch Deshun responded, and hurriedly sent someone to pass on the message.

But it was not Xiao Xizi's father-in-law who came first, but the queen mother and Sun Guifei.

When Chu Mochen and Ming concubine were in the imperial study, the emperor was not in the mood to read the memorial, and there was no reason to reject the queen mother and concubine Sun Gui, so the emperor let them in.

As soon as she came in, Concubine Sun glanced at Chu Mochen, and said, "A few days ago, the Queen Mother called, and the prince of Zhennan refused to enter the palace because of his leg pain. Now he is looking for the emperor. It seems that the leg is not good hurt?"

Chu Mochen glanced at Concubine Sun Gui, but said nothing.

Ming concubine explained for him, "In the past two days, Xianggong's leg has not hurt as much as before, and sometimes it is still numb, which is almost the same as before he was treated by the quack doctor. The doctor saw it and said that if you don't continue to treat him, the previous treatment will be in vain. gone."

For someone with a broken leg, pain is better than no pain.

Concubine Sun Guifei's eyes flashed with joy, her face was calm, and even a little regretful, "Then we must find the quack doctor as soon as possible."

The emperor got up to greet the queen mother, and said, "Why is the queen mother here?"

The Empress Dowager sat down and said, "I've been bored in the palace all day, and my body is exhausted. Let Concubine Sun accompany Ai's family to relax for a while. After walking, I arrived at the Imperial Study Room. Come and have a look. Ai's family came in and saw the Imperial Study Room. How many big boxes are there outside?"

The emperor laughed and said, "The box contains the things that the prince of Zhennan snatched from Cheng Guogong's mansion, and brought into the palace to be appraised by someone."

Sure enough, it was a valuation, Sun Guifei heard it and said, "Coincidentally, Eunuch Li has good eyesight. He has served the Empress Dowager for more than ten years, and he has seen many treasures, so he just happens to help with his eyes."

There was no chance for anyone to refuse. As soon as Concubine Sun Guifei finished speaking, the eunuch who had good eyes went up to pay respects, and said, "The imperial concubine and empress praised you absurdly. In terms of eyesight, how can a slave compare to the emperor and you and the queen mother?"

While talking, Eunuch Xi recommended by Eunuch Deshun also arrived.

The Empress Dowager said, "Your Majesty has a lot of things to do every day. The delay is too long now, and the Emperor has to stay up all night to make up for it. Hurry up and estimate the price."

The two father-in-laws quickly responded.

The box was brought in, and the treasures were taken out one by one, each one was so exquisite that the people who saw it couldn't take their eyes off it.

When Eunuch Xi made an offer, Concubine Sun Guifei looked at her with a smile on her face, but it was creepy.

Eunuch Xi hurriedly said, "Please, Eunuch Li."

Eunuch Li held a handle of Xueruyi in his hand, put it down and said, "Xueruyi is worth 3000 taels."

Eunuch Xi hurriedly said, "The slave estimates the price at 800 taels."

The difference of 200 taels is not that big.

But this blood is wishful, Chu Mochen estimated the price at 500 taels, which is double the price.

Before Eunuch Xi came, he must have been threatened. The estimated price was only 300 taels different from Eunuch Li’s. Occasionally it was higher and sometimes it was lower.

Chu Mochen sat in a wheelchair, his face getting more and more stinky.

The two held eyes, and the speed was much faster. The emperor only drank tea and did not speak.

In two quarters of an hour, the valuation of several large boxes was completed, and the father-in-law was responsible for writing down the names and prices of the treasures.

Chu Mochen said lazily, "Is it all estimated?"

Courteous and fair, "Except for a few boxes, everything else has been estimated."

Chu Mochen said coldly, "How much are a few boxes worth?"

"Twelve taels," Eunuch Li replied.

Chu Mochen sneered and said, "I thought you would say it was worth a few hundred taels!"

Eunuch Li hurriedly said he didn't dare, but among all the things, the box was the real price.

Concubine Sun said with a smile, "The treasures accumulated by Cheng Guogong's government for decades are naturally of great value. I heard that pawnshops dare not accept these things. The son of Prince Zhennan entered the palace at this moment and asked the emperor to find someone to estimate the value. He wanted to buy them." Down?"

Chu Mochen rolled his eyes, "What am I buying these things for?"
