Chapter 211 Do you think I’m stupid?
What Xia Yuan was worried about did not happen. As the days passed, there was no progress or news about the case of the gangsters' night attack on the country's relatives. On the contrary, the news was suppressed, and the people in the capital may not even know about it.
this matter.
No matter what Emperor Hongzhi and Empress Zhang thought, they were anxious and angry because they couldn't find the real murderer for a long time.
Zhu Houzhao became confused: "How about it, master, I said this matter was done covertly and will never be found out."
"Don't get too happy too early. Failure to do so will be found out one day."
Xia Yuan felt a lot more relieved. If this progress continued, he felt that this matter might become an unsolved case, but looking at Zhu Houzhao's proud look, he couldn't help but pour cold water on it.
It's definitely not good to be crazy.
Be low-key.
"Master, you are just too cautious and keep your heart in your stomach. You will never find out."
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand indifferently, "Besides, the palace is preparing for the Queen Mother's Qianqiu Birthday these days, so there is no time to worry about this."
Speaking of this, he asked again, "What gift do you think I want to give to my queen mother?"
"Your Highness is not short of money now. You can give whatever you want. Why do you still need to ask me?"
"It's just because there is so much money that I don't know what to give."
Although Zhu Houzhao was ridiculous, he was actually a filial child. In previous years, when he lived on monthly money, every time it was the birthday of Emperor Hongzhi or Empress Zhang, he would live frugally and save tens or even hundreds of taels.
Go out of the palace and buy whatever you can.
Now that I have tens of thousands of dollars, I am beginning to worry about what to give.
This is the trouble of having money.
"Master, your wife is also a destined wife. When the time comes, she will also come to the palace to participate in the Qianqiu Banquet. What gifts have you purchased?"
"cream."
During these days, he has been busy letting Xiao Qizi develop his temperament and practice his walking manners, but it's not like Xia Yuan has never thought of sending some congratulatory gifts.
And what could be more appropriate to give a gift to a woman than skin care products.
"Cream? What is that?"
"Skin care."
Seeing that Zhu Houzhao still looked like he didn't understand, Xia Yuan could only say: "It is something that is applied to the face. It is specially used by women to beautify the skin and moisturize the skin."
Zhu Houzhao was startled when he heard that applying it on the face can also beautify the face. "Isn't that just a facial ointment?"
"Then let's go for the facial ointment. I plan to give you an enhanced version of the facial ointment."
"Enhanced version?" Zhu Houzhao understood the meaning and said, "Where can I buy it? I will also give one to my mother."
"What's not for sale hasn't been built yet."
"What do you mean if it's not made?"
As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao reacted, "Master, can you make it?"
"Why should I tell you this if I can't make it?"
In this era, there is indeed such a thing as facial ointment. It is used in the same way as facial cream and facial mask. It is applied to the face.
It's just that they almost always use the stamens of various flowers, and then mix them with ghee, starch, and pearl powder.
Purely natural, pollution-free, and can be eaten directly.
But the effect is actually very average. Of course, it is used by noble ladies among the people, and the palace does not know what it is used for.
But the effect is not expected to be big.
Then to improve the effect, there is no technical content anyway, mix egg white with pearl powder, and add some herbs that are good for the skin, such as aconite, musk, donkey hide gelatin, angelica, ginseng, poria and the like.
Add whatever is effective for whitening, hydrating, and softening the skin.
"And once it is built and mass-produced, we will definitely make a lot of money. We will split it 50-50 by then."
Zhu Houzhao was so excited when he heard that he could make money for 50-50 that he was ready to agree. However, he thought of something in the next second and shook his head: "No, if it is made and used for business, my dividends will definitely be higher."
He was robbed by his father."
"Yes." Xia Yuan had to admit that Prince Xiao Zhu's worries were very reasonable. Emperor Hongzhi could definitely do such a thing.
After all, this kind of thing is really promising.
Although it is not a monopoly, although there are many types of facial ointments in this era, as long as the effect is improved, are you still worried about running out of money?
Most men may sneer at whether skin care products are effective in maintaining skin, thinking that they are a waste of money and only serve a psychological effect.
But almost all women flock to it and think it is so effective.
No matter how you say it, women of any era love beauty. Once this kind of facial cream comes out, as long as the effect can surpass other facial creams, it will definitely be sought after by the ladies of the Ming Dynasty.
Facts have long proven that women’s consumption power is top-notch, and grasping women’s consumer market is more effective than anything else. As for men, their consumption power is not as good as that of dogs.
"Then just make it, don't sell it yet, let's deal with it later."
Zhu Houzhao readily agreed, "Master, make two copies, keep one, and give the other to me."
Now it was Xia Yuan's turn to shake his head, "No, how can you give the same gift?"
"His Highness is thinking of sending something else. I can give His Highness an idea. For example, you can copy a copy of the Filial Piety Scripture and send it to him. This will be more effective than anything else."
"You are mother and son. It doesn't matter what gift you give. What matters most is filial piety."
Zhu Houzhao thought for a moment and felt that this was the truth, and then asked: "The more copies I copy, the more filial piety will be highlighted?"
"That's the theory."
"Okay, then I will copy it a hundred times."
Hearing this number, Xia Yuan's expression instantly became meaningful. In two days it will be the Queen's Qianqiu birthday. The Filial Piety Sutra has nearly 3,000 words. If read a hundred times, it will be nearly 300,000 words.
It would be impossible to let others do it, but this guy can definitely do it. He can create miracles in just two days or even one night.
"Your Highness, I suggest you copy less, just ten or eight times. If you copy too much, you won't be able to finish it."
"Don't worry, I will definitely be able to finish the copy."
"Copying the Filial Piety Scripture is to show your filial piety. It is different from copying homework. You have to copy it yourself."
"."
Zhu Houzhao's expression was stagnant, while Xia Yuan showed him a bright smile.
"Master, do you know everything?"
Hearing this, the smile on Xia Yuan's face suddenly froze, and he asked quietly: "Do you think I'm stupid?"
In the beginning, Zhu Houzhao was practicing some bullshit magical skills here. In order to get this kid out, Xia Yuan used various methods, including homework.
In the beginning, it was less, just ten or twenty times. One person, one pen, and one night could still create miracles.
But the next fifty times, eighty times, or hundreds of times are definitely not something that can be accomplished by oneself.
But this kid copied it all in one night. Who can believe that he copied it by himself? Not even a fool would believe it.
Xia Yuan didn't dare to say how high his IQ was, but at least he wasn't a fool or mentally retarded, so he definitely didn't believe it.
He had long suspected that this kid was cheating, and the way of cheating was not to find a gunman, so what else could it be?
It's just that the handwriting is exactly the same, he has no evidence.
