Ten Miles of Red Makeup: The Legend of Ming Yu

Chapter 352 Longevity Lock

Xi'er handed the drawing to the boy and said, "This longevity lock is so beautiful."

The servant smiled lightly, but didn't answer, he stuffed the twelve large silver ingots over, Xi'er was satisfied and it was all the silver ingots.

As expected of the Shen family, which is as rich as a country, the rewards are all twelve taels.

Xi'er took the silver ingot happily, and Xi'er went over to thank Second Young Master Shen. At that time, Ming concubine and Chu Mochen had already got into the carriage and left slowly.

Second Young Master Shen glanced back at the servant, and asked, "What longevity lock?"

The little servant hurriedly said, "The little one is about to report to you, the second young master. The person next to the eldest young master took a piece of paper into the jade shop today to inquire about the origin of the longevity lock. The little one thought it was unusual, so he asked someone to copy it." I brought a copy back for you to review."

Second Young Master Shen took the blueprint, glanced at it casually, and sneered, "Such a long-lived lock, I have 99 if I don't have a hundred in the Shen family's warehouse."

After finishing speaking, he casually threw it to the boy, "Find out the origin of the longevity lock, and report it to me immediately."

The boy nodded repeatedly.

The carriage went back, and when it reached the busy street, Ming concubine lifted the curtain and looked out of the street. Chu Mochen still remembered what Ming concubine said about buying a shop, and he said, "Which shop did you fancy?"

Ming concubine is a little embarrassed, can she say that she forgot about this matter, she only focused on looking at those small stalls, but forgot about the business.

It's just that you can't see anything when you look around like this, she said, "My shop should be the largest and most magnificent."

Seeing her ecstatic look, Chu Mochen stretched out his hand to grab her nose and said, "Under the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are dignitaries everywhere, and a place where three or two dignitaries can be killed if the plaque falls down. The forces behind those big and magnificent shops are all intertwined. It’s okay for the Wangfu to come forward to buy it, but it’s impossible for you to buy it quietly.”

Chu Mochen knew Ming concubine, she even concealed her superb medical skills, it was impossible for her to open a shop and do business with great fanfare.

Ming concubine patted Chu Mochen's hand holding her Qiongbei, and said, "I know, I don't think about those shops, those shops with a booming business, they are not willing to sell at all, unless I open the price far more than the shop itself, I'm a fool with a lot of money."

Chu Mochen raised his eyebrows, and signaled Ming concubine to continue with his eyes, and Ming concubine said, "I can buy the two adjacent smaller shops, tear them down and rebuild them."

"That's a good idea, but if it's rebuilt, it may take two or three months before the shop opens," Chu Mochen reminded her.

Ming concubine smiled and said, "I'm not in a hurry."

She is not in a hurry to open a shop to earn money, so it doesn't matter if it is a year or so late.

Chu Mochen laughed, he couldn't imagine how good the business would be after Ming's shop opened.

He just drank tea and didn't speak, while Ming concubine opened the curtain and looked outside with great interest.

Zuixian Tower, the second floor.

By the window, a man stood, watching the carriage of Zhennan Prince's Mansion passing by the street, his lips were tightly pursed, and his eyes were dark.

The door was pushed open with a creak, and a guard came in and said, "My lord, I have found out clearly that the eldest and second young masters of the Shen family came to Beijing two days ago. I don't know what happened to the Shen family. The business in Kyoto is in charge of the second young master."

King Heng tapped on the window twice, and the guard continued, "Second Master Shen, Shen Jifeng, is the eldest son of the second wife of the Shen family. He is only three months younger than Young Master Shen. The Shen family has a lot of business in the capital, and now it is handed over to the second wife. Master, it seems that the identity of the young master of the Shen family is not so secure. The young master Shen saved the Zhennan prince's concubine, and the Zhennan prince's concubine also rescued the young master Shen. It seems that there is little hope for him to help the prince. Why not..."

The corner of Heng Wang's mouth curled into a determined smile, and he said, "Make arrangements, I want to meet the second young master of the Shen family tomorrow."

The guard hurriedly said, "This subordinate will do it now."

Let me explain that my sister chose the location of the shop without even getting out of the carriage. In fact, there is nothing to choose. The location of the whole street is good, and she doesn't care about the structure of the shop, because it has to be demolished and rebuilt.

The next step is to buy a shop, this task is left to Zhao Feng, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with Chu Mochen’s secret guard, especially if Zhao Feng was able to understand her subtext in the Prince Jin’s mansion, and stole the painting for her To save the siege, if Chu Mochen were not afraid that she would say she was greedy, the concubine would have wished to ask Chu Mochen for these secret guards.

Half an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of Zhennan Prince's Mansion. As soon as he entered the mansion, the young servant told him, "The old lady asked the son and concubine to go back to the mansion and talk to Changhui Courtyard."

I haven't entered the mansion yet, and the word has spread to the outer court. I don't know what to do with them. Ming concubine is a little nervous. After all, before going out today, Princess Langhuan invited a Taoist priest to enter the mansion, and the Taoist praised her greatly. Te Kua, it's easy to reveal your secrets.

But to say she was afraid, it wouldn't be enough, after all, she didn't invite the Taoist priest, and she didn't puncture it on the spot, because she cared about Princess Langhuan's face.

Pushing Chu Mochen, Ming concubine went to Changhui courtyard.

Inside the house, the old lady was drinking tea, Ming concubine came forward to greet her, the old lady said lightly, "Yu'er and the others came back early, why did you come back so late?"

Ming concubine said truthfully, "Eldest Young Master Shen saved my maid, Xi'er, and my husband and I went to Shen's house to thank him."

The eldest lady glanced at Xi'er, and said, "A little maid, is it worth you and Chen'er making a special trip to thank you?"

These words sound harsh, shouldn't she thank Young Master Shen for saving Xi'er, or is Xi'er's life worthless and not worthy of her and Chu Mochen's condescension?
Ming concubine looked at the eldest wife and said, "Xi'er is my maidservant and my savior. Young master Shen not only saved Xi'er, but also me."

Being refuted in public, the eldest wife felt a little uncomfortable, she said, "Isn't the concubine Shizi able to turn evil into good luck, and still need a maid to save her?"

Ming concubine is speechless, what kind of logic is this, when danger turns into good luck, do you have to rely on yourself?

Chu Mochen leaned on the wheelchair, looked at the eldest wife and said, "Did the eldest aunt take the wrong medicine? Today, I especially dislike my wife."

The eldest wife frowned, and the third wife covered her mouth and smiled, "It's not that your eldest aunt dislikes the concubine, she's just jealous."

Ming concubine looked at the third wife, "Why should I be jealous?"

With a light tone, the third wife felt that she deserved to be beaten, so many people would not be envious of her, she said, "Today, the Taoist fortune teller asked your aunt to copy the Buddhist scriptures a thousand times, and after she finished copying the Buddhist scriptures Only then can I help the young master choose a wife."

Ming concubine's eyes are wide open, isn't it, so ruthless...

Ming concubine is curious about when the eldest wife and princess Langhuan became enemies. Aren't they grasshoppers on the same rope, but the Taoist priest is a fake. Apart from Princess Huan's targeting her, other people are targeting whomever Princess Luanhuan is targeting.

Chu Mochen said lightly, "Auntie also believes the words of charlatans?"
