With a source of goods, opening a store would be easy. Mu Hanzhang asked Zhou Zhuan to identify a two-room store on the street where the Tasteful House was located, and asked Mr. Yun to go to the famous carpenters and silver stores in the capital to customize a batch of exquisite wooden boxes and silver boxes.
"What does the princess want these boxes for?" Yunzhu asked Mu Huanzhang holding a bunch of well-made boxes, these boxes are exquisitely crafted, even more expensive than those balms, wouldn't the Wangfei lose money by doing this?
Mu Hanzhang took a silver box and smiled without saying anything, letting Yunzhu carry these to the yard of the nanny's family. Jiangnan sent the balm, mostly with a bamboo tube, iron box, the price is not high, even if you raise the price, the best can buy a hundred or ten wen. But change the exquisite box is not the same, the capital city officials and dignitaries are mostly, the more expensive things the more people buy.
Turning to the middle of May, the store has been taken care of. When the second shipment arrives, Mu Hanzhang's small store selling balm will officially open.
Elegantly decorated store, half-hidden by bamboo curtains, with a bamboo plaque at the door, inscribed with three elegant and powerful characters "Mo Lien Ju".
The word "Mo" means the ink garden where the male wives often go, and "Lotus" means fragrance. Because this month's party, Mu Hanzhang took some wooden boxes of balm to give to those male wives, one by ten, ten by a hundred, to the opening day, the buyers, watching the crowd, almost blocked the door.
Different from the general store opening, to firecrackers, lion dance, mu hanzhang let people invited the capital in the famous musician to play in front of the store, the sound of music, incomparable elegance. People see this situation, also not good clamor, only quiet on the sidelines to watch.
The store's balm is divided into several grades, there are iron box, wooden box, silver box, the price difference is very far, the iron box is only a hundred or ten wen, the wooden box to one to two silver, silver box will be dozens of taels or even hundreds of taels.
Since the elder brother went to the southwest, Jing Shao will have to face the fourth prince alone every day in the courtroom, even a password to the people are not, very unhappy, so much so that every morning is bedridden do not want to go to the court, always have to mu hanzhang called three or four times before they are willing to climb up.
However, the last few days, Jing Shao suddenly began to like to go to the court, because the southwest urgent report, the eldest prince in Yunnan and Tibet in danger, life and death is uncertain. The eldest prince will write daily report back to the capital, but now has been more than ten days without news.
Today, the Governor of Yunnan and Tibet's report was sent to us, and only then did things become clear. As soon as the Great Prince entered Yunnan and Tibet, he was eager to attack the southern barbarians and did not listen to advice. The southwestern forest is full of miasma, soon after the army entered the mountains, there were many soldiers and generals fell sick from inhaling miasma. Last month, the Grand Prince led his troops into the mountains and was caught in a bitter battle, and has yet to return. This three thousand miles of expedited delivery over, also delayed seven or eight days, the eldest prince is alive or dead is not known.
"Father, for the sake of today's plan, we need to immediately send troops to rescue, otherwise, the eldest brother is in danger!" Fourth Prince Jing Yu kneeled on the ground and said urgently, regardless of whether it was true or not, that hyun's appearance of wanting to cry was sincere and incomparable.
"It's too late to send troops now, they must be deployed nearby." The Minister of War said in a deep voice.
"Waste!" Emperor Hongzheng was so angry that he slammed the zhang in his hand on the ground.
The court was silent for a moment, the prince went to war, originally to deter the southern barbarians, pacify the people, now the eldest prince just arrived a month into a bitter war, but also in danger of uncertainty of life and death, the opposite to the court to bring unlimited trouble. The courtiers do not say on the face, but the heart is to feel that this big prince is really incompetent.
"Father rest his anger, my son has a solution." Jing Shao saw that the time was almost up before he took a step and bowed.
"Speak." Emperor Hongzheng took a deep breath and looked at Jing Shao.
"The southwestern fiefdom is closest to Yunnan and Tibet, and my son has heard that the southwestern troops are strong, so why don't we have the king of the southwest send troops to reinforce the eldest royal brother." Jing Shao lowered his head, hiding the cold light in his eyes. The Southwest King's character, with which he had been maneuvering for several years, he was more than clear, cunning and careful. If he is allowed to send troops, he will definitely push back and forth. Southwest from the capital of three thousand miles, even if only one excuse, this back and forth coupled with the time delayed on the road to send troops, at least one month, at that time can not live, we have to look at his big brother's destiny.
Emperor Hongzheng frowned, he was also very skeptical about the southwestern tribute matter, letting the Southwest King send troops just so that he could take this opportunity to see if the Southwest King really had a rebellious heart. Appreciatively looked at Jing Shao a glance, Hongzheng Emperor issued a decree, that is, ordered the Southwest King to send troops to reinforce the eldest prince, to pacify the southern barbarians of the chaos. If the rescue of the great prince, can be exempted from the Southwest the rest of this year's tribute.
Jing Shao mood quite good to return to the king's mansion, saw his own Wangfei sitting on the soft collapse smiling eyes curved look at the account book, can not help but be some hand itch, the account book snatched away: "Look at a book of accounts on the happy into this, could it be that this book of accounts is better than I still look good?"
Mu hanzhang looked at the more and more thick-skinned guy a glance, also not annoyed, "If compared with people, you are since better looking than anyone else, but ......" lengthened the tail end of the voice, taking advantage of the Jing Shao grinning, a hand will be snatched over the account book, "This account book is not a person ." Said, and looked up.
Today just opened, business has been red beyond red, the cost of those things is not high, is the box more expensive, but add up to less than 30% of the selling price, really earn a lot.
"Hmph!" Jing Shao disgruntledly pounced his own princess on the soft collapse, "Eldest royal brother is in distress in Dianzang, I don't know if he's dead or alive."
"Yes?" Mu Hanzhang heard this, before taking his eyes off the ledger.
Jing Shao gave a general account of the events in the court, and sighed lightly, "If the Southwest King angers Father, the removal of the clan will be near."
Mu Hanzhang narrowed his eyes and said softly, "In this situation today, the removal of the clan will inevitably lead to a fight, will Your Highness go?"
Jing Shao sat up, took a deep breath, slowly nodded: "If it is a war, will certainly go, only I, have the certainty to pacify the San Francisco!" Bright candlelight reflecting Jing Shao resolute side face, with the pride that can not be hidden, calm and powerful voice, as if already in the battlefield, facing three hundred thousand generals, boldly declared war!
Mu Hanzhang fixedly looked at him, pursed his lips, a long time Fang said, "You are a capable person, it is I who dragged you down." This person, has no less than the great-grandfather's generalship talent, only a pity that he was not born at the right time.
"Jun Qing!" Hearing these words, Jing Shao s heart inexplicably ached, back in the year on the cliffs of the Sealed Moon Mountain, Jun Qing this is this said, you are a capable person, it is me who has dragged you down ...... can not help but raise his voice.
Mu Hanzhang was yelled at by him, looked up to see, and was met with a pair of slightly red eyes, realized that he had said the wrong thing, and immediately panicked: "Little spoon ...... I ......"
Jing Shao wrapped the rambling man into his arms and embraced him tightly, as if to strangle him into his flesh and blood, "Don't you dare say that again, do you hear me!"
Feeling that the arms around himself are still tightening, Mu Hanzhang was strangled by the raw pain, could not help but frown, but did not cry out in pain, just reached back to embrace him: "I remembered, and will not say so ...... hmmm...... "Said to the end, or can not help but stifle a grunt.
Jing Shao then woke up and let go of his hands in a panic, "Did I hurt you?"
Mu Hanyang shook his head, but was forced by Jing Shao to peel off his shirt. He saw the original white upper arm was strangled out two deep red marks, and gradually towards the blue and purple change. Jing Shao was so distressed that he brought medicinal wine and rubbed it carefully for him. The rubbing changed the flavor, the original heartbroken eyes gradually darkened, dipped in the medicinal wine fingers slowly slid to the shoulders, and from the shoulders to the chest.
"Well ......" Mu Hanzhang was busy clutching the hand that was spinning on a cherry red, and looked around, this is still the outer room, the maid will come in at any time, but not here.
Jing Shao, however, had no intention of stopping, as he wrapped the person into his arms, containing an ear that was flushed with pink color: "Junqing, shall we round up today?" The situation on the cliff swept through his mind over and over again, his heart aching beyond measure, he wanted to possess the person in his arms, wanted to become one with him, so that he could confirm that he was still alive, living in his arms; so that he could confirm that this was not a yellow dream, and that all of the misery had not yet happened!
Mu Hanzhang heard the words, such as by lightning struck wide eyes, round ...... round room? Married more than two months, in addition to the night of the wedding, they really have not done in the end. On the one hand, he was afraid of the kind of pain that rips the body apart, and then Jing Shao know that he was afraid has not been forced, he pretended not to know the past.
Turning his head to look at the person holding him, that pair of handsome eyes, in addition to the usual tenderness and pity, there is also a trace of trepidation, the action of kissing him is also a little flustered, seems to be in a hurry to confirm what. Mu Hanzhang know if he is not willing, he will not force himself, but looking at today's Jing Shao, he really can not bear to refuse. Big deal, again endure a night is, as long as can let him no longer so sad.
Mu Hanzhang was silent for a long time, and when Jing Shao was ready to give up, he slowly nodded and whispered, "Go back to bed ...... okay ......"
Jing Shao was stunned for a moment, picked up the person in his arms, "miso" stood up, used light energy to run to the inner room, "bang" kicked on the door!
