Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"I know so well after walking around occasionally? Hahaha"

"Nephew..."

"Okay, uncle won't tease you anymore." Taizong smiled, "Since you are so familiar with Yujie, Defang, why don't you take uncle to a jade shop, and then go to a famous restaurant to eat and drink."

"Your Majesty...Uncle, aren't we going to Kaifeng Mansion for a trial?"

"Don't worry, there are always a few cases in Kaifeng Mansion every day, but they are not big things. Uncle asked someone to ask. There is a special case at the end of today. Let's go and listen to it." Taizong said, "There is still one more." As for Shi Chen, go to the jade shop first, Defang likes ancient wares very much, if you see a good one, uncle will give it to you."

"Nephew Uncle Xie" Defang took Taizong to the famous jade shop [Zhenfutang] on Yujie. The ancient artifacts are very good, but Defang doesn't like any ordinary ancient artifacts. Only then did the owner realize that he had met a real expert, so he hurriedly apologized and brought some good objects from the back hall. Defang took a fancy to it. Facing the bronze wine cup, Taizong asked, "Defang, do you like it? Store, wrap it up."

"Wait" Defang cupped his hands to Emperor Taizong, "Uncle, my nephew doesn't want to buy it, I don't like it very much, it's..."

"Don't like it? Hehehe" Taizong laughed, "If you don't like it, Defang, why did you tell your uncle so many allusions about the pair of bronze cups?"

"Nephew... this... the bronze cup..."

"Defang, you like ancient utensils so much, I'm afraid your heart is already itching at this time, and you can't wait to send someone back to get the silver taels right away? Hehehe"

"My nephew is ashamed..."

"What are you talking about? Uncle will send you off if he says he wants to. Shopkeeper, wrap it up."

"Yes, yes" the storekeeper happily wrapped the bronze cup, Taizong's guards took out the silver, Jiajun took the wooden box of the bronze cup, and Defang said, "Thank you uncle."

"What is the family always thanking, let's see if there is anything else you like?"

"No more, uncle."

"Well." Taizong nodded and looked outside, "It's noon, Defang, uncle's stomach is growling, which restaurant in the capital is the best?"

"Uncle, it's Changqing Building in the middle of Yujie Street. The dishes are good and taste good."

"Well, okay, take uncle, order some good dishes and a pot of good wine, uncle wants you to drink with me."

"Yes, uncle, please."

After Taizong and Defang left, the store owner shook hands and said to the shop assistant, "These uncles and nephews are really weird."

"Boss, what's wrong?"

"This nephew named Defang bows and bows to his uncle, and he speaks in a proper manner. It's strange how polite he is."

"Boss, didn't you say that it's not surprising that there are many people who salute? Besides, it's not wrong for a nephew to salute his uncle."

"That's what you said, but you didn't see it. There must be something between the uncle and nephew. It's not a trivial matter. Anyway, it's very strange."

The man frowned and asked, "It looks like they are wealthy people, is it a matter of family property?"

"Perhaps so."

"Ah!" The man slapped his forehead, "It must be that nephew's father died and left a large amount of money, but his uncle snatched it away. He has no choice but to live, so he can only treat his uncle as a guest." Be polite."
