Rich and important women all send people to buy them.

The queen looked at the boxes in front of her: "Why does Bengong suddenly feel like a little girl, and come to join in the fun?"

Nanny Qi smiled and said, "Your Majesty has a girlish heart."

The queen smiled and opened a box: "What is this? A pig? What does a pig look like?"

"The pig certainly doesn't look like this. It's cute. Look at it, it looks like it's dancing and laughing." Luoxia, the maid of honor, said.

The queen stroked the little pig: "This is chubby, pink and tender, and it's funny to look at. Seeing it laughing, I can't help but want to laugh. This porcelain is fired very well, and the craftsmanship is good."

The queen dismantled another one, with a different shape.When she finished dismantling the ten boxes, they were all different.The maids and nuns immediately complimented her, saying that the empress is lucky if she is born as a phoenix.

This set of dancing pigs has different shapes, and the queen swings them around, as happy as a child.

"No wonder the business of this store is so good, how did they come up with it?" the queen said to herself.

Luo Xia thought for a while: "This servant thinks it's a bit like drawing lots. What you catch is what it is. These are put in a box for everyone to draw lots."

The queen agreed with this idea: "It's because they are quick-witted, so many people have drawn lots, why didn't anyone think of putting things in a box and grabbing directly."

There are a bunch of boxes in front of the emperor.He glared at Yu Chenglin: "Treat me like a child? To open the blind box, isn't it just drawing lots and changing the name?"

Yu Chenglin said with a smile: "But her family was the first to change their name. Isn't it just to see who takes the lead in doing business? After a few days, similar shops will pop up in the capital and take away some business. But Chen The family will not be in a hurry, they have never thought of doing a unique business."

The corner of the emperor's mouth raised slightly, and he opened a blind box: "Then we have to see what kind of goods they each make."

What the emperor dismantled was a carved wooden cow, on which sat a shepherd boy playing the flute.Both the cow and the shepherd boy are lifelike, and there is a poem on the pedestal: "The shepherd boy goes back and lies on the back of the ox, and the piccolo plays without words."

"Good mood!" The emperor boasted.When it was disassembled again, there was a shepherd boy sitting on the back of the ox and singing: "The shepherd boy rides the yellow ox, and the singing resonates with Lin Yue." The corner of the emperor's mouth slightly raised.

Another one was taken apart, and it said, "I can't catch the piccolo, but I always sing Taiping when I clap my hands." The emperor laughed loudly: "Okay! It's good to sing Taiping when I clap my hands."

Another one was removed, and the cow was grazing, and the shepherd boy was sleeping next to it: "When the short coir is lying down, the afternoon wind is light, and when the flute is played, the sunset is early."

Each box contained a shepherd boy, and there were two lines of poems. The more the emperor looked at it, the happier he was, and he couldn't help praising: "Good carving, good artistic conception, good literary talent, and better meaning. If the shepherd boy in my Daxiang Dynasty can be so leisurely If you are free, then the people in my court will have plenty of food and clothing, and the days will be peaceful."

Yu Chenglin complimented: "My sage is wise, my dynasty is thriving and flourishing day by day."

The emperor was still unsatisfied: "Is there any more?"

Yu Chenglin smiled apologetically: "The store said that one set of blind boxes can be disassembled in a day. If there are too many dismantlings, the interest will soon fade."

The emperor nodded: "Okay, let's stop here today, and it's fine to unpack so many boxes. I'll unpack it tomorrow. When other stores have similar businesses, I can also buy some for me to see."

He changed the subject: "The four younger sisters of Lord Changping have all set up shops in the capital?"

Yu Chenglin replied: "Yes, the Houyuan Farm is under the name of the Xiangjun himself, the winery and the cloth shop are under the name of the future Liangdi, the melon and fruit agricultural products are under the name of Chen Yue, and the dried and roasted seeds and nuts are Chen Xiu's business. The blind box shop It belongs to Miss Chen Ya."

The emperor chuckled: "She has already prepared the dowry. Is the next step going to buy property for the boy?"

Yu Chenglin said with a smile: "There is always a bowl of water between younger brothers and sisters. Everyone should have the property. Whether they do well or not depends on their own ability."

The emperor nodded: "The marriage of General Hussars is still undecided, right? Send the Tai Tuo over."

When the Taifu came, the emperor asked about Yan Shoulu's marriage.

The Taifu said: "I was naughty when I was young, and I only thought that he would be more sensible when he grows up. Then he went to the battlefield and didn't care about marriage. Now Xiao'er is in the capital, and I ask the Holy One to give me a marriage." It is normal for the emperor to give marriages to the children of important court officials.

The emperor stretched out his hand, and Yu Chenglin handed him a booklet.

"Is General Yan 21 years old?" The emperor opened the brochure.

"Yes."

"The granddaughter of Duke Zhen? It seems a little younger."

"The youngest daughter of Marquis Yongping? She is not in good health."

The emperor turned several pages, but the Taifu didn't say a word.

"How about Changping Xiangjun's younger sister? Speaking of it, she is of the fourth grade, her status is not low, and she will not insult the Yan family's family background. In the eyes of many old aristocratic families in the capital, she is just a country girl, unremarkable, and the general's mansion is not enviable. .”

Both Taifu and Yan Shoulu lowered their heads. These two reasons are very reasonable, but Changping Township's wealth is also a factor, right?

The Tai Tuo saluted and replied: "I ask the Holy One to be the master."

The emperor smiled: "Then Miss Chen Yue, she is fourteen this year, and she will get married next year or the year after next. Then Miss Chen Xiu will point out one of the descendants of the ministers."

This time it was not Eunuch Xiao who went to Changping Township, but Eunuch Yi, who was older than Eunuch Xiao.

When he returned with the red envelope, the Xiangjun Mansion fell silent again.

After a long time, Chen Fan sighed: "There are only four younger sisters in total, and three of them were married. In the eyes of the outside world, this place is full of wealth and honor, and there is no holy family, but we don't use our power to bully others, and secondly, we don't use our power to amass wealth. They donated a lot of food and medicinal materials.”

Everyone glanced at Chen Ya. She was only eight years old, and if she was two or three years older, she might be given a marriage by the way.

"It also tied us firmly to the princelings," Zhang Ci said.

The Taifu is the prince’s teacher, and he definitely wants to support the prince; the household department is the court’s purse, and the minister is not from the prince’s side, and will be replaced by the prince’s side; more closely involved.

Zhang Ci talked about the marriages between the officials of various ministries in the capital and the prince and county king, the old ones and the new ones, and everyone was even more silent.

Intertwined, so complicated.

"Is this focusing on the money and food of Changping Township? Just thinking of Changping Township sending money and food for the prince and the army?" Chen Zhonglin said.

Everyone kept silent, expressing their acquiescence.

Chen Zhongyan looked at Chen Yue: "We have met General Yan, and we have been together for many days. He should not be a bad person, so he won't bully the second sister. We don't know much about Yu Shangshu's grandson."

"It's not urgent, the capital can investigate and send it over." Zhang Ci said.

Chen Fan sighed again, he was only a fourth-rank township lord, and his sister's marriage was beyond his control.

She glanced at the boy: "I don't know what will happen to your marriage."

The boys straightened up in an instant: "We are still young and have no fame."
