273. The eighth trip to the imperial capital
He Zijin's two lives are very legendary. In front of him, the era in which she lived in her previous life was definitely not comparable to that of the feudal dynasty. He Zijin always thought that she lived in a slightly open place today. At least, compared with the style of women who had to end up together in the previous dynasty, the current court does not oppose women remarriage. He Zijin felt that the current trend was enough.
But unexpectedly, even in feudal society, there are great people everywhere.
For example, the crown prince who dares to resign.
Moreover, He Zijin asked her uncle that the crown prince wanted to resign because he was not in a stable position and took the initiative to give in to the virtuous. The main reason was that the empress dowager wanted to force the crown prince to divorce his wife. The crown prince had deep feelings for the crown prince and would rather not be the crown prince than divorce his wife.
Oh my God!
This is not the crown prince!
This is simply the Duke of Windsor!
However, the Crown Princess is not Mrs. Simpson. According to her uncle, the Crown Princess came from a famous family and was a wife of the Crown Prince Yuan. More importantly, the Crown Prince is very virtuous and praised by the country and the family. The main reason is that the Empress Dowager is unreasonable and confused, and wants the Crown Prince to divorce his wife. The Crown Prince could no longer bear it, so he simply resigned and stopped being the Crown Prince.
Oh, this is also a rare man.
He Zijin said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is doing this openly!"
Shen Su also said, "Yes, the prince and the princess have been together for more than twenty years, so there is no need to mention the relationship. If the princess is really divorced according to the empress dowager's wishes, it would be just a foolish filial piety."
Although the matter of the Crown Prince and Princess is not related to He Zijin, the Crown Princess is the niece of Taoist Chaoyun after all, and He Zijin still hopes that the Crown Princess will be good. However, she just stood by and watched these things, and she couldn't help even if she wanted to.
The matter of the Crown Princess is just a look at the family backgrounds like Shen He and his family.
However, A Xuanguan School had a vacation and said he wanted to take Sister Zijin to the city to take a walk so that he would not be stuck at home when he came to the imperial capital. He Zijin wanted to go, but Shen was a little worried. A Nian said, "I will go with Sister Zijin."
Mrs. Shen hurriedly said, "You still have to study."
A Nian laughed, "I have been studying for many years, but I haven't been at this moment. I also want to go to the Imperial Capital City, and I always feel bored at home."
Brother Aliejun wanted to follow him, but they both had to study with Adan and went to the official school exam on the 17th day of the first lunar month next year. If you pass, you can go to the official school for school. What's more, it's cold outside, and Alie is fine, but Brother Jun is young, afraid that he will be freezing when he goes out. He Zijin said to bring them delicious food, but because there are cousins playing together at home, they will stop making trouble.
A Xuan said first, "Let's go out for breakfast tomorrow morning and go to Taipingju. Oh, it's very famous. The owner of Taipingju is the fellow villager of Emperor Taizu. It is said that before the Taizu attacked the imperial capital, he ate eight big buns from his family. Then, he made a big move into the imperial capital and became the emperor. As long as he came to the imperial capital, there was no one who didn't go to Taipingju to eat buns."
He Zijin laughed, "So famous."
A Xuan said, "Not even if someone doesn't like to eat his buns, he will go over and take a look at the emperor's pen. His plaque is also mentioned by Emperor Zu himself. Not only does his buns taste delicious, but his family also have wontons, mutton soup, white rice porridge, and side dishes with sauce, which are all good."
"I told you to try it."
The next day, He Zijin specially changed into a boy outfit, and Shen asked Xiao Fuzi to follow him. He Zijin said, "Let Brother Fuzi be at home, just call Sanxi to follow him." Sanxi is A Nian's scholar.
Shen also responded, and took out the money for his daughter to collect, saying, "It's rare to come to the imperial capital. I don't want to go out in such a cold day. You are in good spirits and are not afraid of the cold. It's okay to go out for a walk, but come back early in the afternoon, don't ask me to worry about it."
He Zijin collected the money and said, "Don't worry, mom, if the buns in Taipingju are so delicious, I'll bring some back and let's try them together."
Mrs. He also said, "Come back soon." Another reminder, "If the buns are expensive, just bring a few less, and each one tastes them."
He Zijin smiled, "I know."
Because it was cold, the three of them took the bus and they all took the bus. Ah Xuan was praising him and kept saying, "Sister Zijin, you are very handsome in a boy's robe. However, you can tell at a glance that you are a woman."
He Zijin said, "If you know, you know. Isn't this to save trouble? I heard that there are men in the imperial capital, who are more handsome than women."
"Oh, don't say that in front of the Su family. This is also an old thing. It's about Su Buyu Su Shilang. When he was a teenager, Su Shilang went to the official school to study, and his classmates thought he was dressed as a man."
"This Minister Su is so handsome, and Uncle Sun also said he is very handsome."
"It's very handsome." A Xuan said, "But I've seen Mr. Su once. He is ten years older than my father. But he looks like he's not old at all, and his whole body seems to be shining."
He Zijin was quite eager to hear it and said, "Pan An and Song Yu are just like this."
"Yes, it is said that when Mr. Su was transferred back to the imperial capital, as soon as he entered the city gate, men, women, and young people went out to see him. Many people threw scented bags, jade pendants, and squirts at him. As a result, a crazy girl was selling grapefruit on Zhuque Street. She was so excited that she picked up her sleeve and flew towards Mr. Su. As a result, the grapefruit smashed Mr. Su off his horse and smashed a green bag on his head."
He Zijin laughed loudly when he heard this, and A Nian couldn't help laughing. He Zijin was happy, "Fortunately, it's a pomelo seller. If he was a durian seller, he would have to kill Lord Su half his life."
A Xuan immediately asked Sister Zijin for advice, what is durian?
Sister Zijin gestured, "It's so big, there are thorns on the skin."
A Xuan was surprised and said, "There is such a fierce thing in the world. If you want to smash it, you can really smash it."
He Zijin asked with a smile, "What happened to the girl who sells grapefruit in the end?"
"What can this happen? It's also a bit of a good-looking man from Su." A Xuan smiled, "There is another person who looks comparable to Su Su, but he is not as famous as Su Su. He is the master of Uncle Tang, Li Zijiu. Lord Li is also very handsome."
He Zijin said, "There are so many handsome men in the imperial capital. I originally thought that my uncle was a very handsome and elegant person."
A Xuan curled his lips and waved his hand, "I can't compare to my father's appearance."
A Nian said, "The adoptive father is at least a top-notch. I see you, you don't even have a big shot." Really, I always tell Sister Zijin what it means to be handsome!
Ah Xuan also cared about his appearance and said, "At least it's a bit too good."
He Zijin said, "The most important thing about being a human is to have connotation. Like Mr. Su, Mr. Li, who is not knowledgeable and has good looks, so everyone calls it. If you have only skin and no knowledge, it will be a vase."
A Xuan said, "I have a good meaning, Sister Zijin, have you noticed?"
A Nianxin said, are you going to steal my wife or what?
The three of them went to Taipingju while talking.
In a rare good weather, the sun is hanging in the east with red sunlight, and the sun shines through the morning mist, bringing a hint of warmth to the cold wind in the morning. Taipingju is indeed well-known and the business is very good. He Zijin and his party are admiring the plaque of Taipingju, and then guests come to visit him. He Zijin hurriedly gave way to others, but was shocked. An old man with three long beards in the middle was somewhat similar to Taoist Chaoyun.
However, He Zijin is a cautious person. People with the identity of Taoist Chaoyun, who are similar to him, are probably not ordinary people.
He Zijin said that the buns from Taipingju are also good, but they are a bit greasy. However, the wontons, mutton soup and pickles are good. After eating breakfast, A Xuan took Sister Zijin and A Nian to take a walk on Zhuque Street. He Zijin is a person who loves to buy things. Some of the goods in the imperial capital are incomparable to Bishui County. Even she bought a pack of embroidery threads. When she returned home, she went to Taipingju again and bought a lot of buns to take them home.
Mrs. He felt that the buns in Taipingju tasted good and kept praising them, "It's true that it is the bun that the emperor has eaten, it's delicious!"
When Mrs. He asked about the price of the buns, He Zijin said the amount. Mrs. He immediately felt extremely distressed and said straight, "Oh my god, all these silvers are enough to buy a pig in our house."
He Zijin said, "My grandmother just eats it. She will come to the imperial capital this time in her life. Even if the price of two pigs, she has to try the meat buns that the emperor has eaten. Otherwise, when she gets home, others ask about it, and she has never eaten such a famous thing. Wouldn't that be a pity!"
Thinking of this, Mrs. He just forgot it and said, "What the girl said is reasonable." She asked everyone to eat buns again!
After eating this meal of Taipingju bun, He Zijin saw that his uncle was not busy and would skip work from the yamen from time to time. He Zijin discussed with her uncle about printing books. Shen Su and his sister laughed and said, "We Zijin are not simple. Don't say that I am as old as hers, even now, I have never published books."
He Zijin said, "Uncle, you can't figure it out. Your experience in lectures at Jinshi Hall over the years should be written on paper and put together into a book. If there are students who don't appreciate the course, they can buy books and study it."
Shen Su was born as a literati after all, saying, "Books are not written casually."
"You are talking about saints writing books, and they also need to be verified before and after. We are ordinary books. We don't compare with saints, 2 don't compare with sages, 3 don't compare with learned people. We just write some experiences in studying, and write them briefly, but only one or two of them are beneficial, so it's worth it." He Zijin said it and urged her uncle, "Anyway, I see that you are not busy now, so why not write your experience into a book and we will publish it together."
Shen Su asked, "Is this easy to sell?" Selling books is a business, and Shen Su didn't want to see her niece lose money.
"See what you said, my book shop in my hometown is so popular. When Master Xue went to Furong Academy to give lectures, he signed the books. I framed the books signed by Master Xue and put them in the bookshop, which became the treasure of the shop. Even these two sets of books were very popular. A Nian also donated his reading notes to the academy for free and studied for the primary school students in the academy." He Zijin said, "When the spring exam was approaching, I printed the books in advance. At the time, A Nian and my father were able to sell them immediately."
I should leave the manuscript first and decide to take a look first.
Then, the uncle and nephew discussed for a few days. He Zijin, the bookseller arranged by Chen Su, made a big deal, and printed five thousand copies each, all of which were He Zijin's private house. After the book was printed, He Zijin was full of confidence and was waiting to get rich.
He Zijin also gave some suggestions to her uncle's book shop and said that her uncle, "I see that many book shops in the imperial capital are too elegant. They have to shout for selling things. Who knows if they don't? When I sell books, please let the shopkeeper learn from me well."
Her uncle held back his laughter, "It's OK, that's a matter of course. You can't hide your own personalities at that time. You have to teach the shopkeeper a few tricks."
He Zijin said, "No problem."
After arranging the printing of the book, He Zijin took A Nian Axuan to a secret land in the West Mountain to get springs. Axuan lived in the imperial capital for several years, but he didn't know that there was such a small spring in the West Mountain. He Zijin said, "This is what I read from the book. Some people record that the spring here in the West Mountain is the best to cook tea."
However, when I was taking the spring water, I met the old man I met in Taipingju.
He Zijin was a little strange. Once he could be said to be a chance encounter, but twice he was a little deliberate. The old man also invited them to have tea. After getting the spring water, He Zijin said to the two, "If it weren't for his wealth, he would have thought he was a human trafficker."
A Nian said, "It's quite strange, this is the second time."
A Xuan didn't think so much and said, "It's obvious that he is from a wealthy family. How could such a family be a human trafficker? But have you seen it before?"
A Nian said, "It's just at the entrance of Taipingju. Have you forgotten?"
A Xuan then remembered, "Ah, it's that old man. I really didn't remember it."
The three of them took Quanshui home. After putting this matter in their hearts, He Zijin couldn't let it go and decided to give it a try. She thought of a way, and a few days later, she said that the three of them would still go out, but before going out, she didn't go, so she asked A Nian and A Xuan to go out.
The two of them came back at noon, and A Nian said to Zijin's sister, "Sure enough, I'm seeing the old man again."
He Zijin said, "You think he is a relative of Master Chaoyun?"
A Nian nodded, "I look like him, but I don't know what he meant by meeting us all the time?"
He Zijin said, "What a weird person. If you have something to say, what's the point of saying this?"
"I'd better ignore him. It's impossible for our family to have something that is rare in the family. If it's the relationship between Taoist Chaoyun, it's useless to find us, and we can't help him." A Nian said.
He Zijin decided not to go out soon.
However, in a blink of an eye, He Zijin received a job from the Internal Affairs Department. Because Chen Su was an official after all, the people in the Internal Affairs Department were very kind and said, "It was a kind of unwilling request. If I hadn't heard that Miss Juxian came to the imperial capital, my head would have been lost. The green chrysanthemum planted by Miss Juxian was presented to Your Majesty by the sixth prince from the Prince's Mansion two years ago. His Majesty ordered the craftsmen of the Internal Affairs Department to take good care of him. I dared not slack off for a moment. However, this flower is not fresh. After a year or two, especially this winter, it is especially cold. But this flower is not cold or hot. Those old gardeners don't know what to do. I heard that Miss Juxian came to the imperial capital, so I thought, and bet on my teeth and begged for Miss Juxian. Can I help us see the flower?"
He Zijin said, "Where are the flowers? Take me to see."
The doctor of the Internal Affairs Department said, "Oh, how dare you bring such a treasure out of the palace? You can serve me well in the palace."
He Zijin said, "I am a private girl, it's not easy to enter the palace for no reason, right?"
"Don't worry, girl, you are taking care of the green chrysanthemum baby. This matter is also a senior official who was told by the Director of the Internal Affairs Department. All the matters about watching the flowers are arranged. As long as you have time, you don't have to worry about anything. Just help us see the flowers."
Such an old official oil boy made He Zijin not know what he said, so he had to look at Chen Su. Chen Su had no good way, and said, "Then go and have a look, I'll go with you."
