Chapter 62 He is so scheming!
Mingting Yage is the most famous tea restaurant in Shengjing.
In the private room on the second floor, Ji He was drinking tea leisurely. Sitting opposite him was Ji Huo, the eldest son of Prince Gong.
The two of them had the same temperament. The only difference was that Ji He was afraid of Emperor Ghe and did not dare to be overly presumptuous before getting married. The number of girls in Ji Huo's backyard was dazzling.
Ji Huo: "You are such a boring person. You didn't call me when you went to Fengzhou! It's a shame that I treat you like a good brother."
"Calling you? You are not afraid that Cui Yun will turn around and find Prince Gong. You will inevitably be punished if he turns around."
Ji Huo felt guilty.
The wounds on his body from being whipped by Prince Gong have not fully healed yet.
"My father often says in front of me that if he is half as good as Cui Yun, he will be blessed by my ancestors. I don't understand, what's so good about Cui Yun? But I was stupid enough to try to be friends with him. Last year, I was so useless.
I will give him a pair of skinny horses from Yangzhou."
Both of them are extremely beautiful, the elder sister is charming, and the younger sister is lovely. If you accept her, you will enjoy the blessings of everyone.
"Then, I was grounded by my father for a month for no reason, and I copied more than a dozen volumes of Buddhist scriptures. My hand almost broke!"
The more Ji Huo talked, the angrier he became.
"After finally getting out, I was told that all the suffering I suffered was Cui Yun's fault. And the sisters were sent back to Prince Gong's Mansion by him."
Ji He was overjoyed: "Then what, is it really so beautiful? If you were my brother, you would lead me to see her."
Ji Huo said with a dark face: "Why did you meet me? What kind of serious person is my old man? He punished me first and took the two of them into the house. He loves them very much. My mother-in-law still doesn't want to talk to me."
"And the year before last, I thought he was old-fashioned and not a womanizer, even an old monk wanted to worship him, so I simply acted as a host and dragged him around the flower house."
"If he doesn't want to go, he can just tell him! But he didn't say it."
Ji Huo thought that Cui Yun was also happy.
"But what about him! He turned around and found an account book somewhere. After giving it to the emperor's uncle, the entire flower tower was uprooted."
"This boy is taking advantage of me!"
"He is so scheming!"
Ji He felt sorry for Ji Huo, but he was also glad that Cui Yun had never plotted against him so cruelly.
Saying that, Ji Huo complained again: "I'm surprised. Uncle Huang can't tolerate sand in his eyes. Why didn't he punish you this time when you left Shengjing?"
Ji He's smile faded a little: "How can he care about me?"
Ji Huo thought of something and smiled with unknown meaning: "Yesterday's palace banquet, let alone the emperor's uncle, even the concubines in the palace did not embarrass you in the slightest. On the contrary, they were quite hostile to Ji Qi."
"It's really pitiful. He has worked hard all these years as a hostage without any credit, yet he is so disliked."
Isn't it? Not to mention the concubine, even the mother of a country would take the opportunity to step on her.
It's no wonder she is like this. Ji Li's biological mother, Concubine Shao, is famous all over the world. They say that Concubine Jing is the most favored nowadays, but compared to Concubine Shao, she is not even inferior.
Even the queen can't compare.
At that time, everyone in the harem hated Concubine Shao with itch.
"Eh!"
Ji He looked out the window.
"Isn't that Cui Yun!"
Ji Huo felt bad when he heard about Cui Yun.
Ji He: "Wait a minute, why is he going to the lumber shop? Could it be related to the recent case?"
When Ji Huo heard this, he couldn't care less about the resentment he had accumulated for many years and looked down.
Sure enough, the man on the street was cheerful and handsome, striding towards the lumber shop.
This is the largest lumber shop in Shengjing. It has all kinds of real good lumber in a complete range. Although it is a bit expensive, it is worth the money.
Buyers can choose by themselves. Large ones can be made into sailboats or roof beams. Small ones can be carved into wood sculptures that can be played with at any time.
There are masters who draw drawings and engravings in the shop, which can be said to be very thorough.
Shen Hua was followed by Little Tails. She was satisfied with the selection of the fine rosewood, golden nanmu...
The quality was beyond her expectation.
The store owner held a thick album for Shen Hua to look through.
"Our store is doing conscientious business. Although the price is expensive, it is worth the money. Look, this is a drawing made in the future. If the lady sincerely wants to buy it, I will ask the master to come out. The lady can just tell the request. , they can all do it.”
The drawings are exquisite and you really can’t fault them.
"I just don't know the purpose of the wood you bought?"
Shen Hua turned around and said to the store owner excitedly.
"Make a coffin."
The store owner's smile froze.
Shen Hua: "The coffin I want must be unique! There is no need to carve those birds and beasts on the coffin. It would be boring to see too many. My request is simple, just carve the night view of Shengjing Street."
The night in Shengjing is really beautiful.
Thousands of houses are brightly lit, and the streets are decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.
When Shen Hua saw her again, she couldn't help but sigh.
"It doesn't have to be too difficult, but it can't be perfunctory. The hair of the people on the street should be clearly defined."
The shopkeeper had difficulty breathing.
The store owner has been living for so many years and has never seen such harsh requirements.
"If you don't do it, please come back, madam."
"The shop does everything, but we will never do anything that has anything to do with dead people."
"It's not like he's dead."
Shen Hua raised her hand and pointed her index finger at herself.
"I bought it for myself. If there is no rush, it will take about five years for the master to slowly figure it out. The more complicated the carving is, the more exquisite it will be. The price is easy to negotiate. These 50,000 taels are the deposit."
The store owner seemed to have something strangled by his throat, "What are you kidding me?"
That's when Cui Yun entered.
Cui Rong breathed a sigh of relief and was happier than anyone else.
"Second uncle!"
Shen Hua was immersed in the pain of being rejected. She didn't even look at Cui Yun.
"Is it really not possible?"
"If you agree, I will not only give you a generous reward, but also build a bridge in the name of my shop. This is a great merit."
The shopkeeper was very determined: "Madam, please let us go. After we make the coffin, who will take care of our business in the future?"
Cui Yun saw the boy serving Cui Xuanshi at the door of the shop. After thinking about it in a blink of an eye, he knew that this trip was Cui Xuanshi's idea.
If it were A Niang, the girl standing here right now would only be the Yan family's wife. As for why it was Shen Hua, something must have gone wrong along the way.
When he saw Shen Hua picking a coffin for him, he didn't immediately scold Cui Rong.
I don’t even know why, but I got the idea of ​​watching a movie for no reason.
He stepped closer to Shen Hua and did something he would only do more than ten years ago.
"If Mrs. Shen wants to buy it, Cui Yun has a shop to recommend."
Shen Hua looked at Cui Yun.
Soon, he left the lumber shop under the plague-like look from the store owner, turned around and followed Cui Yun, burned half of the incense stick, and entered the coffin shop.
Cui Yun: "The business here is between the royal family and officials of the fourth rank and above. If Mrs. Shen wants it, I can help."
Shen Hua seemed to see someone she could rely on for the rest of her life.
She is a picky person, so she will naturally want the best coffin when she dies. But she cannot afford it casually. Only by choosing one herself can she find the one that suits her best.
Shen Hua's eyes were filled with dazzling stars.
She chose an imperial wood coffin that had been completed a long time ago. The surface of the coffin was as warm and delicate as smooth as jade. It also had a faint scent of nan.
She stepped forward quickly, blushing and made a small request to Cui Yun.
"Can I go in and lie down and try?"
