Bright Spring

It is inconvenient for Zhu Gaoxu to ask more questions, he only needs to know that there is such a person's name and that there are many rare treasures in her family, and he doesn't care much about other things.

After receiving the local officials, Zhu Gaoxu quickly left the front hall.Other matters are handled by the officials of the Chief History Department of the Wangfu.

...In the afternoon, Wang Gui, Hou Hai and others returned to the palace, and Zhu Gaoxu summoned Wang Gui and others in the study in the front hall.

Wang Gui stepped forward and said: "My lord, I have led people to investigate separately. I learned from a medicinal material dealer that there is indeed a pair of thousand-year-old Korean ginseng in Yunnan, and it is a pair! It was bought by Shen Xu a few years ago."

Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu thought that the scribes of the Mu family did not deceive him, and Shen Xu's financial resources were indeed very strong.He immediately asked: "You can ask clearly, where is Shen Xu's mansion and who is in charge of the family?"

Wang Gui nodded and said: "The servants and others have inquired around clearly that the Shen residence is on the west side of Caihaizi (Cuihu). It is said that the Shen family has withered, only the great-granddaughter of Shen Xu and Shen Wansan is left. Shen Xiaoniang is not yet an adult, it may be Shen Xu. Let me be the master..."

"That must be her mother's decision." Zhu Gaoxu responded casually.

Wang Gui hurriedly said: "Forgive me, my lord. In my haste, this servant failed to find out who is the head of the family. It may not be the Shen Xu family! The servant heard that the Shen Xu family is Mrs. Shen Hui Xuxian, and Miss Shen is not her own. .”

"I see." Zhu Gaoxu nodded.

Speaking of these things, Hou Hai finally couldn't bear it any longer. Before Zhu Gaoxu could ask, he couldn't wait to say:

"My lord, the richest man from the end of the Yuan Dynasty to the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty was Shen Wansan. At that time, the Shen family was as rich as an enemy! His son Shen Mao came to Yunnan and gave birth to a boy and a daughter. up.

Later, Shen Hui's original wife died of illness, and soon after Shen Hui succeeded Xu Fujiu's granddaughter from Xiangyang, she was the Shen Xu family mentioned by Wang Gonggong.She also has a name, which is very famous in Yunnan Province, named Xu Manshu. "

What Wang Gui said just now was focused on Korean ginseng, but Hou Hai was very interested in gossip, so after what Hou Hai said, he made the relationship between the Shen family clear.

Hou Haidao: "Shen Hui was in poor health since he was a child, and died of illness after giving birth to only one daughter. Shen Xu is now a widow...and a slut who can do her best!"

Hou Hai has always been very tactful when inquiring about other people's affairs, and he said: "The men in the whole city, from old men to teenagers, all know Mrs. Shen Xu. Some people say that she has slept all over the place. A man from Yunnan Prefecture, so he is famous!"

Zhu Gaoxu was astonished after hearing this.

Hou Hai continued: "Some people say that she is the reincarnation of a vixen. She is seductive and seductive. She only harms boys and uses Yang to replenish Qi. She looks like a [-]-year-old. Some people say that she likes low-status men who do hard work, what kind of grooms?" , gardeners, servants, and beggars who came to beg for food have all done things with her, and one or two men can't easily satisfy her...

Some people called her a bitch, the Shen family was not short of money, but the population was withered, and Shen Xu only sold herself to powerful people, so no one dared to bully them. "

Hou Hai lowered his voice at this moment, and whispered, "One of the concubines of Hou Mucheng in Xiping is Mrs. Shen Xu! Mrs. Shen hooked up with the Mu Mansion, who would dare to touch her in the Yunnan Mansion? The officials thought that all vixen It's a myth, but this woman is very dissolute and beautiful, there must be nothing wrong; otherwise, even if a widow has some right and wrong, she won't be a household name."

"That makes sense." Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said, "The most important question now is: She has a thousand-year-old Korean ginseng in her hand, and it is very likely that only she has it. Regardless of whether the miracle doctor Chen is reliable, I can only try it now. How much is a thousand-year-old Korean ginseng worth?"

Wang Gui pondered and said: "It depends on the weight. Is it worth four or five hundred taels of real gold and hard goods? Such rare things are hard to find, and the sellers are either unwilling to sell them, or they just set the price up... Fortunately, the prince has a big face. Report your name, then Shen Xu shouldn't dare to refuse."

Hou Hai said: "Your Majesty, wait for me to come to the door with the name card of the prince and ask?"

"Wait!" Zhu Gaoxu raised his hand and said.

Zhu Gaoxu has also led soldiers to fight for several years, and he knows the art of war to some extent.He has more things to consider than the two people in front of him. This matter not only has to deal with Shen Xu, but may also involve the Mu family...

After all, there are rumors that Shen Xu and Mu Sheng are hooking up, no matter whether it is true or not, Zhu Gaoxu doesn't understand the situation now.It is not a bad thing to be a little stable for the first time.

What's more, Shen Xu's family is indeed very likely to have a close relationship with the Mu Mansion... Zhu Gaoxu doesn't know much about the Yunnan Mansion, but he has done his homework on Mu Sheng's situation.Mu Sheng has a villa in Caihaizi, and there is also a "Liuying" where war horses are kept. Since Shen's residence is in Caihaizi, they are close to each other.

"If you are only sent there, it would seem too contemptuous. Mrs. Shen and Xu will find it difficult to tell the truth from the fake for a while, and it will be a waste of time." Zhu Gaoxu said, "If I go with a guard of honor, I will be a little bit bully, and I won't give Mu Sheng's concubine face. .”

Zhu Gaoxu patted the armrest of the chair flatly, "Simple car, I will change my clothes and go there in person to bring back the thousand-year-old Korean ginseng to be used as medicine earlier. Wang Gui, go and prepare treasures worth 500 taels of gold to pack. , silver, copper, jade, and pearls are all acceptable, but don’t take Daming banknotes to show your sincerity.”

"Your servant obeys!" Wang Gui bowed.

Zhu Gaoxu got up to change clothes.

He only cares about the thousand-year-old Korean ginseng, and although Shen Xu has a beautiful name, Zhu Gaoxu has little interest in her.No matter how beautiful a woman with a little scarlet is, is it still so rare?

After getting ready, Zhu Gaoxu left the palace in a carriage, with only a dozen people around him.Apart from Wang Gui and Hou Hai, Chen Dachui, Zhao Ping and other guards were about a dozen men, all dressed in blue cloth, with their hair in a bun and no hat, dressed like servants.

Wang Gui drove the carriage himself. Zhu Gaoxu, who was sitting in the carriage, was wearing a lavender satin round-neck robe and a light gray net scarf on his head.It is not a bluffing dragon robe uniform, but it also looks richer. After all, it has to show the ability to spend a lot of money to buy things.

After Zhu Gaoxu left the mansion, he picked up the curtain and looked back at his palace... He was used to seeing the mansions of the capital, and he saw that the Han Palace was really ordinary, but it was indeed much larger than the Beiping County Palace.

Hanwang Mansion is located on the south side of Yunnan Fucheng. It is basically built according to the system of the Prince's Mansion, without many signs of grandeur.The royal father's promise to "build you a big and good Prince's Mansion" should be just talk.

...The group of people walked north and came to the south of Caihaizi, which is also in the capital city of Yunnan; but this place seems to be relatively remote, and there are many crops and vegetables planted on the land by the lake and in the middle of the lake, as if in the suburbs Same.

Fortunately, after walking west for a while, houses and streets gradually increased.

"My lord, we are here." Hou Hai said in his voice.

When the carriage stopped, Zhu Gaoxu got out of the carriage and looked around.In front of me is a very ordinary gate house, with high walls on both sides, and only some overhanging gable roofs can be seen inside the walls.

There is a plaque on the gatehouse: Shen Mansion.

Just looking at the scale, this mansion is really big, but its appearance is very ordinary. Moss has grown on the stone steps at the door, and weeds have emerged from the cracks in the stones, and it even feels a bit barren.

Zhu Gaoxu waited and watched for a while, and was about to ask Wang Gui to go up and knock on the door, when the door suddenly opened slowly!

Then I saw a group of servants and women walking to the door in two groups and standing on both sides.

He couldn't help but be a little surprised, opening the door is the host's gift to welcome distinguished guests; before he came to visit, Shen Xu already knew that the King of Han was coming and prepared in advance?

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly felt that in Yunnan Fucheng, the Shen Xu family might have something to do.

Several servants carried a long blanket and spread it along the gate to the carriage.Seeing this battle, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help being a little taken aback: Damn, I was not so particular about wearing a formal dress to the Prince's Mansion that day!

Chapter 199 The Four Seasons Are Like Spring

/p>When Shen Xu came out of the gate, Zhu Gaoxu was very surprised. When he saw her with his own eyes, he realized that she was different from what he imagined.

She was indeed fair-skinned and beautiful, wearing a deep blue skirt and dark clothes to make her skin whiter, but she was a bit dignified.Probably because ancient and modern formal clothes mostly use dark colors.

Shen Xu's figure is tall and slender, but her bones are round and smooth everywhere.Round and smooth forehead, big round eyes under single eyelids and long eyelashes; moreover, the tailored skirt, the silk is very soft and close to the body, making the shoulders round and small, and the chest line round and full.

After hearing Hou Hai's report, Zhu Gaoxu originally thought that Mrs. Shen Xu was a seductive woman with heavy makeup and jewels, but unexpectedly she looked like this.

At first glance, her whole body is almost only blue and white, which looks very simple. There is only light makeup on her face, and there are no traces. If you don't look closely, you can't tell it; Faintly shiny, but no pattern at all.

Even so, Shen Xu's dress doesn't look plain at all.It turned out to be her lining collar with a pattern of red and gold threads; the only jewelry, a hairpin with gold beads in her jet-black hair, the colors of ruby ​​and gold are very bright.There are only these two embellishments, but they are just right... A little more would make it look too colorful, and a little less would make it too plain.

Shen Xu's clothes also cover her body tightly, and the collar of the lining has reached below the collarbone.But somehow, she is very sexy... A woman does not have to show her flesh to be attractive. Shen Xu's skirt fits perfectly in every part, and the material is soft. enough.The only exposed collarbone has jade-white skin and elegant shape, which reveals a bit of skinny beauty to her with weak bones and thick muscles.

With her dark dress, neat and tightly wrapped dress, and dignified posture, at first glance, she really looks like a widow who is ascetic and clean, but after a little closer inspection, she finds that it is not the case at all!

Mrs. Shen Xu should be older than Zhu Gaoxu, maybe in her twenties, and walked toward Zhu Gaoxu with an eleven or twelve-year-old girl.That smooth face is very fair, and there is a bright smile in the clear eyes, and she is leading a childish and cute little girl, so Shen Xu has a bit of virginity under her mature demeanor and attractive figure, which is really amazing. special.

"My concubine is Shen Xu, and welcomes His Highness the King of Han. His Royal Highness is here to make the Shen family's humble house flourish." Shen Xu stepped forward to pay the ceremony, and said generously.

Her posture was very stable, and her voice was correct and round without a trace of out-of-tone Nanjing accent. In front of the prince, she appeared very confident and calm.
