Mu Hanzhang looked at the arrogant Mu Yangwen with cold eyes, slowly walked over, raised his hand and "snapped" a slap on his face, which was smiling proudly.
Mu Yangwen was slapped and slowly turned back, "Mu Hanzhang, you dare to hit me!"
"Pah!" Another slap that completely blindsided Mu Yangwen.
"I am your elder brother, how can you call me by my first name? Hasn't Third Uncle ever taught you what filial piety and fraternal duty are?" Mu Hanzhang looked condescendingly at his cousin who had stumbled from being hit.
"Mu Hanzhang, don't go too far!" Mu Huafeng, who was on the side, saw his brother being beaten and raised his fist to strike.
The two guards behind Mu Hanzhang drew their waist swords with a brush and pull, frightening the crowd to take half a step back in unison, and some of the younger brothers cried out directly.
"Stop it all!" Marquis Bei Wei's muffled voice came from behind as he angrily walked over.
The group of people from the Mu family, who would usually tremble in fear when they heard the family head's voice, heard it today, but they were relieved in unison.
"Jun Qing!" Jing Shao rushed over with quick steps and wrapped his royal consort into his arms, "Are you alright?"
Mu Hanzhang pursed his lips, but how can not help but slightly upward, how to look at this situation is that he is teaching others, right, this guy is really ......
Seeing that the person in his arms was fine, Jing Shao turned his head to look at Mu Yangwen, who was covering his face, and Mu Huafeng, who had forgotten to put away his fists: ''Marquis, not to mention that Junqing is my royal consort, in the Beiwei Marquis' residence, is it not necessary to honor one's brother and sister? The filial piety and fraternal etiquette of the Mu family is really an eye-opener for this king!"
Mu Jin was infuriated with a burst of green and white on his face, pointing at his two nephews, "You two, go and face the wall with Shizi, each copying the filial piety fifty times, and you're not allowed to eat dinner if you don't finish copying!"
Mu Yangwen wanted to say something else, but was glared back by Mu Jin with a glance, and could only follow his brother as he turned to leave.
"Slow down!" Jing Shao let go of his own princess and drank in the two, "The laws of the family are indistinguishable from the laws of the country, what is the offense for disrespecting the princess?"
The two brothers did not have a backbone without Mu Ling Bao by their side, glancing at each other, it was only now that they realized their fear and looked at their own eldest uncle for help.
"Your Highness, calm your anger, little children don't know any better." Mu Jin was also somewhat unable to get down, and glanced at Mu Hanzhang, who was standing half a step behind Jing Shao.
Seeing this, Mu Hanzhang went forward and pulled Jing Shao's arm, persuading him in a gentle voice, "It's just that, they are all brothers, the king should not be angry."
Jing Shao sniffed and patted the glistening and slender hand: "Wangfei does not care about it, today's matter is just a matter of fact, in the future, if you let the king see anyone disrespectful to Wangfei, don't blame the king for turning his back on you!"
The group of cousins all shrunk their heads, and with Mu Jin's approval, they left in disgrace.
"Third brother, didn't eldest uncle send someone to say that there is a guest for us to accompany today, so he gave us half a day's vacation? Why don't we accompany the guest again?" The youngest brother asked in a low voice.
"Shhh~" The brothers on the side were busy covering his mouth and disappeared into the atrium in a puff of smoke.
"The old minister is not strict in ruling his family, letting Your Highness laugh at me." Mu Jin sighed, looked at Mu Hanzhang who stood beside Jing Shao with an upright posture and extraordinary demeanor, and couldn't help but feel a little despondent, the first son of the Mu family's generation, there was not a single one who was competitive! Nowadays, it seems that the one who has the most style of the Mu family is this commoner son who has already been married off.
When he returned to the royal residence in the afternoon, Mr. Yun hurriedly greeted him, "Your Highness, today His Highness the Second Prince sent someone to let you hurry over as soon as you return."
Jing Shao frowned, and Mu Hanzhang said, "Brother must have something urgent to find you, so go quickly."
Jing Shao nodded, turned around and mounted Xiao Hei and ran out again.
Mu Hanzhang went back to the house to rest a nap, just got up, heard Yunzhu said Zhou Zhuan visit, busy dressed to listen to the wind pavilion of the tea hall.
"Big Brother Zhou has been waiting for a long time." Mu Hanzhang apologized.
"I'm just here, the kind of business at the Retrospective House, I won't be free until after midday." Zhou Zhuan smiled brightly.
Mu Hanyang Zhang was relieved when he heard this and asked him what was the matter.
"Last time you did not say that you want to open a small store?" Zhou Zhuan drank a mouthful of tea, the tea drinks in this royal palace are all tribute tea divided by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the market can not buy the very best, on the food and drink is quite concerned about Zhou Zhuan naturally tasted out, could not help but drink a few more mouths, "The capital should have all, small stores if not old, business is not good to do, unless there can be some rare contraptions."
"Rare contraption?" Seeing that he liked the tea, Mu Hanzhang gave Yunzhu a wink, and Yunzhu turned away in understanding.
"Well, to say that there is a shortage in the capital and that it sells well, I did see one thing when I was in Jiangnan," Zhou Zhuan said, unable to keep a narrow smile from flashing across his face, "I suddenly thought of it last night when I went to bed."
"Oh?" Mu Hanzhang was a bit curious, something that was available in Jiangnan but rare in the capital, why hadn't anyone sold it yet?
Zhou Zhuan laughed softly and took a sip of tea before spitting out two words, "Balm."
"Balm?" Mu Hanzhang froze, what was that? He hadn't really heard of it.
"Haha, this thing is very good in Jiangnan, I followed my husband to the capital, only to find that people in the north seldom use this, the street sells only that kind of flavorless scented oil." Zhou Zhuan's lips hooked up a bad smile, carefully recounting the beauty of this "balm".
There are a few famous workshops in Jiangnan that mix seasonal flowers into their balms, and there is a wide variety of them. Unlike oil, balm can be carried in a box and is very useful when it is melted by heat. Just something small, the price is not high, the merchants do not see this small profit, refused to go so far to sell. The northern flowers are few, there is no workshop to do this ......
Mu Hanyang listened to half a day, finally heard out what this is a thing, a handsome face can not help but red a thorough. The so-called balm, that is, when the man lubricates the grease used in good times, businessman heavy profit, this kind of thing although in the capital of the many male wives is very good to sell, but can not help the road is far from the profit is thin, so far, fewer people selling.
Zhou Zhuan sent a box of unopened balm to Mu Huanzhang, Mu Huanzhang see his face frank look, the same man, secretly said he was coy. Then suppressed the embarrassment, frankly accepted, and let Yunzhu bring the tea as a return gift.
Zhou Zhuan also did not excuse himself, quickly took the box of tea, explaining that if he thought about it, although to find him, and then went back to busy Hui flavor building business.
Jing Shao rushed to the Second Prince's residence and couldn't help but feel a little worried when he learned that his father was sending his elder brother to investigate the robbery of the tribute.
"Father is giving me the opportunity to be crowned king, it's a good thing, it's better than going to war like my eldest brother did." Jing Chen saw his younger brother worried and felt very relieved in his heart.
The Southwest King is a cunning person, he has done it, certainly left a backhand, Jing Shao no matter how the elder brother said, the frown is not spread: "Father intends to send how many soldiers?"
"It would have to be a secret visit to be poorly understood, so I was only given four guards and a third-ranked accompanying officer." Jing Chen said.
"How can this work?" Jing Shao almost jumped up, in his opinion his elder brother's kung fu is not good, only giving four guards, in case he meets some mountain thieves he can't deal with them, not to mention the Southwest King who is holding a heavy army! "I'll order five hundred men for you, follow from afar, and show up again if you encounter anything."
"How can five hundred people hide, no way!" Jing Chen refused without even thinking.
After a long time of bargaining, finally the brothers each took a step back, Jing Shao sent two martial arts masters to follow his elder brother, and the other point fifty soldiers first dispersed to the southwest, waiting for dispatches.
Leaving the second prince's residence, Jing Shao still felt uneasy, letting Yun Song make a trip to the courtyard, explaining that Ren Feng had picked two top experts to come.
When he returned to the East Garden bedroom, he saw his own princess sitting alone under the lamp, holding a delicate little box in her hands and fidgeting.
Quietly walking over, a grabbed that box, turned in his hands, "What is this?" Opening the lid of the box, inside was a kind of translucent cream, a fragrance overflowed, not sweet and greasy, on the contrary, there were a few tantalizing.
"This ...... this is ......" Mu Hanzhang was startled, and when he came back to his senses, he quickly reddened his face, "Today, Brother Zhou sent a sample of goods. "
"Oh?" Jing Shao raised an eyebrow, slowly coming up to his own princess's ear and blowing into that onyx-colored ear, "Then why is your face red?"
Mu Hanzhang pursed his lips, glared at Jing Shao, snatched the box from his hands, turned around and went back to the inner room to ignore him.
Jing Shao froze, his own Wangfei even learned to be naughty to him? Holding his fist against his lips, he smothered two laughs and followed into the inner room.
He naturally recognized that thing, although no one in the capital to sell, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs will buy every year. The law stipulates that only allowed to marry a male wife, not allowed to take male concubines, but this is not much constraint on the son of heaven, there is no shortage of male concubines in the palace. Moreover, he is a prince to marry a male wife, the palace will naturally reward a lot of this kind of thing, on the two of them bed in a small cabinet, there are several boxes of good balm.
When he entered the inner room, he saw his own princess gamely lying on the bed with her clothes on, facing the wall and ignoring him, her exposed ears still flushed with pink color.
Jing Shao endure laugh pounced up, put the bed into the arms of the person: "do not tease you, this thing the capital is indeed rarely sold. If you want to do this business is actually very good to do, the Jiangnan Generalissimo and I make good friends, every ten days have letters sent, I asked him to bring some over every time on the good."
"How can that be? If he refuses to accept the money, won't it become a bribe?" Mu Hanzhang turned his head and frowned, this kind of small thing is not worth a few dollars, whether it is from the perspective of a friend or a vassal, the Jiangnan Generalissimo will definitely not want that capital. He just wants to find a camp, if this brings trouble to Jing Shao it will not be worth the loss.
Seeing Jun Qing so for his own sake, Jing Shao could not help but kiss the corner of his mouth, "This you can rest assured, that guy is famous stingy, absolutely will not be less than a penny of the tube you want money, maybe even ask for an extra road fee, I can have to kill the price with him."
