Chapter 23 Shangyuan Chapter Zhong
……
Jing Cheng had no interest in these things at first, and it's impossible to spend the Lantern Festival with someone because of "a flower".
But seeing the people around him suddenly dull and at a loss, he picked up the flower.
"It seems that I'm going to spend a good night alone."
Mu Xi hugged Jing Cheng's arm, "No, you can't. Brother, you can't go."
Jing Cheng said innocently, "But I can't refuse."
Jing Cheng didn't come to the stage for a long time, and everyone's eyes turned to them. They saw a handsome young man with an ascetic temperament holding a flower, and beside him was a beautiful and outrageous young man, who was not happy to hold on tight. Hold his arm tightly.
Oh, it turns out that the famous flower has an owner, and the young couple is arguing.
Rubbing the thumb and index finger, the flower twirled in the hand, very much like Mu Xi's mood at the moment.
"No, no." Mu Xi acted like a baby anxiously, and whispered in the ear of the person, "Your Majesty, don't go."
Jing Cheng moved closer, and replied, "What's your name?"
"Brother is not allowed to go." Mu Xi continued to act like a baby.
"it is good."
Jing Cheng didn't say any more, just agreed to say hello, and then said, "Don't act like a baby all the time."
Mu Xi quickly grabbed the flowers in Jing Cheng's hand and threw them on the ground, not at all like a person who cherishes flowers.
Immediately after, he pulled people to squeeze out. He was a thin and small one. At this time, he exerted all his energy and squeezed out of the crowd in twos and threes. He walked fast and rushed forward without looking back, as if there was something behind Jackals and tigers.
The action was too quick, and when the people on the stage reacted, and tried to find them again, they had already disappeared.
Until he couldn't move anymore and his body told him that he had to stop and rest, Mu Xi still stubbornly walked a little longer, and finally stopped when he turned into another street.
Mu Xi was panting, and Jing Cheng's restrained bad taste was picked up again, repeating Mu Xi's words not long ago, "This is interesting, this is quite fun?"
"Next time, let's come earlier and compare."
"Your Majesty, cough." After being teased, he realized that his reaction was too anxious. Could it be that King Jing could really spend the night with others, "cough, cough cough."
He opened his mouth to say something, but he coughed so hard that he couldn't stop, Jing Cheng walked along his back and said, "Let's just rest and stop talking, you left too quickly just now."
Mu Xi leaned on Jing Cheng, walking too hastily, his body was not up to the mark, and he was starting to get tired right now.But he didn't say it, he said it, tonight's trip to the Lantern Festival is probably coming to an end.
He was sensitively aware that his majesty's brother was not interested in tonight's trip.
Mu Xi had lingering fears from the nonsense just now, and he didn't want to squeeze into crowded places, who knows where there would be people throwing hydrangeas and sachets.
Do people in this world choose their other half in such a random way?Mu Xi complained in his heart.
Only then did the two notice that there were all kinds of lanterns on both sides of this street. It turned out that they turned into Lantern Street just now.
Jing Cheng asked, "Do you want to buy one? You can take it back to the palace."
Mu Xi smiled and said cheerfully, "Brother, will you send me?"
Jing Sheng didn't speak.
Mu Xi is not rare, and he himself is afraid of trouble, and he is not that interested in lanterns, and his hands are too painful.
Then he said, "Trouble, forget it."
Jingcheng: "Yeah."
Neither of them stopped admiring, they walked straight forward, and when they passed by a different stall, they were stopped by the big brother, who yelled and asked them if they wanted to guess lantern riddles.
The lanterns here are very unique, and the stall owners are more enthusiastic, blowing their rainbow farts hard, such as a pair made in heaven, a couple made in heaven, and a match made in heaven.
I'm afraid Jing Cheng has never met someone who is so enthusiastic about him and dares to stop him in his life.
Mu Xi explained: "Your Majesty, we look like rich people when we dress up, and the lanterns here are twice as expensive as those in other places, so they are sure to sell them to people like us."
After hearing this, Jing Cheng said, "Didn't you say it's troublesome, don't worry about it, we'll just go."
The stall owner started blowing up his lantern enthusiastically again, and also took out his treasure of the shop, the hexagonal palace lantern, with perfect proportions and excellent workmanship, and the vivid portrait on it was the finishing touch, worthy of his praise.
Mu Xi stopped in his tracks. He was also a businessman, so he admired the efforts of the stall owner.
He grabbed the hands he was holding and said, "Otherwise, let's guess a few lantern riddles."
In the end, they stayed and guessed the lantern riddles. Mu Xi didn't expect that Jingcheng had dabbled extensively and had so much knowledge in this area. After row after row of lanterns, the answer was already uttered before he finished reading the questions.
One, two, ten, twenty, and finally the stall owner's face turned pale. Finally, after his treasured palace lantern riddle was guessed, the stall owner's enthusiastic face could no longer be maintained and froze.
It's amazing, Mu Xi admired the face, "Brother is awesome."
Jing Cheng rarely smiled.
At this stall, the more lantern riddles you answered correctly, the more lanterns you would get as a gift. Buy first before giving away. In this era, it is already considered a good promotional tool.
But Jing Cheng was right, buying a lantern would cost half of the store's goods, so how could it be unbearable.
"This..." The stall owner showed embarrassment, and reluctantly handed out the palace lantern in his hand, looking at the rows of lanterns behind him, with despair in his eyes.
Jing Cheng took the "Treasure of the Store" and stuffed it into Mu Xi's hands, asking him if he had any money.
Mu Xi took out the silver and gave it to the stall owner.
The two left the lantern stand, they only took the treasure of the shop that they won in the end, they didn't want anything else, there was no handbag, not to mention that Jing Cheng, as the king of a country, would not embarrass his own people.
Holding the lantern, Mu Xi thought about the last lantern riddle just now, laughing, crying, angry, scolding, what is life like?
According to the stall owner, this is a question approved by eminent monks, and no one has guessed the answer so far.
To Mu Xi, this is clearly a businessman's trick, a plausible riddle, there is no standard answer at all, it is just used to fool people.
But when Jing Cheng gave the answer, the stall owner's shocked and stiff expression clearly judged whether the answer was right or wrong.
Ordinary life.
Mu Xi really wanted to ask Jing Sheng how he guessed this answer, aside from guessing, even with Jing Sheng's identity, it was impossible for him to think of this.
But before he opened his mouth, he had a premonition that there would be no result, and when he opened his mouth, he said, "Your Majesty, that's amazing."
"Of course." Jing Sheng took it for granted.
I didn't expect Jing Sheng to show off like this.
They walked out of Lantern Street all the way, the air was a bit humid, it should be getting closer and closer to the river.
The street from Huadeng Street is very lively. There are already many people watching the lanterns. The small vendors all have their eyes on this location, and those with competitive goods are vying to occupy a place here.
"Do you still want to play? Gu can help you."
People nearby seemed to hear something vaguely, and several people cast strange glances at them.
Mu Xi hurriedly put his finger on his mouth, and winked to remind him, which made Jing Cheng laugh a little.
"It doesn't matter." Even if you hear it, there must be more people who think of them as fools and liars than those who recognize their identities.
Mu Xi didn't ask Jing Cheng to help. There are six sides of the palace lantern, each side has exquisite portraits of two young masters, the other four sides have scenes of their hands clasping, and the other side is one sitting and looking at the other. , I feel that they must be very in love at first glance.
He quite liked this palace lantern.
Suddenly, Mu Xi smelled a familiar fragrance, his eyes rolled, and he immediately thought of a possibility.
"Your Majesty, let's go over there."
Guiltily, he led Jing Cheng in another direction, only to see that Jing Cheng had already walked over in two steps in three steps, picked up a box of incense and began to observe carefully.
"Young master has a good eye. This box is the Xiji incense that has been popular in the capital for nearly a month. Even the prime minister fell in love with its refreshing smell. It is a treasure that we rarely remember. There is an event on the Shangyuan Festival today, and the son will come to visit two box?"
Mu Xi: "..."
Not sure if this positive employee should be praised.
The little brother is still selling it, boasting that this spice is unprecedented, and even the manufacturer himself began to feel ashamed.
"Okay, it's almost over." Mu Xi couldn't listen anymore, his ears turned red.
But he still couldn't stop things from developing in the worst direction.
The little brother was not convinced, and finally said, "Young master, you are also from an official family. It seems that you don't know about our incense. I am not afraid to tell you that this is the king's royal spice of our Jingguo. It is only sold by our family. , only this family has no semicolon.”
broken.
Mu Xi resisted the urge to fire this person immediately, he was so cold that the little brother in front of him shivered.
Seeming to have finally felt the death stare from his boss, the little brother shut up embarrassingly.
Mu Xi almost fainted from anger.
When he turned his head again, he saw Jing Cheng crossing his arms and looking at him with deep meaning in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation." Give him another chance to live.
Jing Cheng even bought two boxes of Xiji incense, the money he paid, must be used as incriminating evidence.
Mu Xi remembered the last time he got angry with Jing Cheng and said who would testify to him, now it's good, they're all alive.
Jing Cheng held the Xiji incense, and pointed to the two people on the booth, "Personal evidence."
really.
All the tantrums he lost in the past were all water in his mind.
Mu Xi opened his mouth, and Jing Cheng interjected first, "You won't tell Gu that these people are fake, and it has nothing to do with you, right?"
Mu Xi: "..." Why didn't he think of that.
"Your Majesty." Mu Xi was pitiful, and begged.
Thinking of the rumors that I asked Yuelu to spread, it’s no wonder that the employee just now used the advertisement for the imperial use, he did it deliberately, and then let people spread it to give everyone the illusion that this is the imperial spice.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, the effect he has today is indeed a hint from his operation behind the scenes.
Now there is no better way than standing at attention and pretending to be pitiful.
Falsely using the name of the Tian family, it is a big crime, but it is a felony of ransacking the house and beheading.
"If you're small, you can also say it's a partnership. I'll authorize you, and I'll get a share." Jing Sheng said that although he didn't understand the word authorization very well, someone had taught him.
Mu Xi: "???"
"Gu doesn't understand the profits here, but Lu Xin has talked about agriculture and commerce. Gu has known for a long time that civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty are using this thing, and they will make a lot of money."
"Gu is very short of money now." Jing Sheng said frankly.
If this sentence is said by others or Mu Xi himself, it must be a profiteer.And Jing Sheng said it honestly and frankly, as if he was just explaining a fact that he had a difficulty and then tried to find a way to solve the problem.
This world is a fantasy. I haven't seen him for a few years, but Jing Cheng actually knows how to do business. Then why did his previous shops close down?
The author has something to say: From then on, the two joined forces and embarked on the road of getting rich by partnering (crossing out) to earn money from ministers.
