Jiangmen Tianjiao: Reborn with funny ancestors

"Give this powder to Du San. Next time that person appears, ask him to find a way to sprinkle the powder on the ground so that person can step on it."

Feng Jia opened the porcelain bottle, took a look, and then returned the bottle to Chu Tianjiao.

"No, I still have a lot of them. The little lady has made quite a few, and everyone in the courtyard has them."

The corners of Chu Tianjiao's lips twitched and he took back the small porcelain bottle.

What is in this bottle is actually a special fragrance powder that Chu Qingyan recently developed that glows at night.

The little girl probably recalled the glowing makeup that was popular in the palace many years ago.

She asked Lu Dingfeng to help her find a bunch of shells, grind them into powder and refine them, and got a luminous powder.

When added to powder, it makes your makeup glow at night.

Chu Tianjiao didn't like makeup, but he thought this kind of powder might be effective for tracking.

Feng Jia retreated, preparing to return to the West Market and continue to stare at Du San.

Chu Tianjiao called Lu Dingfeng and said: "Grandpa Taizu, the Xirong delegation has entered Beijing, and the people who have been hiding in the dark recently may cause trouble.

You disperse all the members of the Hidden Word Team and keep an eye on the mission's movements. "

Lu Dingfeng nodded, indicating that he understood.

Two days later, Xirong's delegation entered Shangjing.

The Xirong delegation was led by Buying, the second prince of Xirong. There were hundreds of people in the delegation, and they entered the city with a lot of luggage.

It is said that the baggage of more than ten cars was a gift to the Emperor of Li Kingdom.

After hearing the report from Honglu Temple, the emperor was overjoyed and asked Honglu Temple to entertain the Xirong envoys.

Coincidentally, Dongyi's mission to pay tribute to Liguo also arrived on the second day.

17 years ago, the old Liyang Marquis went straight to the Dongyi Imperial City and captured the Dongyi Emperor Shangguan Qi alive.

Forced Dongyi to sign a defeat indemnity treaty.

From then on, Dongyi had to pay tribute to Liguo every year.

Shangguan Qi was detained in Liguo and died of illness in Shangjing three years later.

Shangguan Feng, the crown princess of Dongyi, succeeded to the throne and became the only queen among the Six Kingdoms.

When Shangguan Qi was still alive, Dongyi paid tribute every year in accordance with the treaty.

But after Shangguan Feng succeeded to the throne, Dongyi gradually recovered its vitality, and the annual tribute was just a formality.

Sometimes the value of the tributes sent by Dongyi may not be as much as the rewards from the emperor of Liguo.

But the current emperor of Liguo attaches great importance to the form of Dongyi's tribute.

As long as the Dongyi people are still willing to pay tribute, he considers it a great honor.

After all, he had participated in that battle and was responsible for escorting grain and grass.

Suddenly, the city of Shangjing was very lively.

Foreigners often appear in Chu Tianjiao's Fanlou, Yulouchun and Youranju.

In particular, Fan Lou and Yu Lou Chun were making money every day, and their business was surprisingly good.

On this day, it happened to be the time when the Imperial Academy was taking a bath, so Chu Tianjiao went to find Chu Minyu excitedly early in the morning.

"Second brother, I heard that the city has been very lively recently, let's go shopping?"

Chu Minyu didn't have a date today, so he happily agreed.

The two discussed calling other cousins ​​​​and going out together for a day of fun.

Chu Yun'er led her biological brother Chu Yangchu and her third cousin Chu Yufei to gather at the gate.

Chu Yangchu is Chu Ye's legitimate son. He is only 12 years old and still studying at Qingmiao Academy.

Chu Yufei, the daughter-in-law of the third room, was even younger. She had just turned ten years old. She had a bun on her head and a fleshy face. She was held by Chu Yun'er's hand and shouted sweetly: "Second brother, eldest sister... …”

There was also a legitimate son in the third room. Because he was too young, Li Wanniang was afraid that the siblings would not be able to take care of him, so she declined the invitations from Chu Minyu and Chu Tianjiao.

None of the four Chu brothers took concubines, so there were no other brothers and sisters from concubines in the family.

It's a pity that Chu Qingyan was picked up by the Wang family early in the morning to play, so she missed this gathering of the Chu family brothers and sisters.

Chu Minyu is now the eldest among the siblings. He patted his chest and said:

"Whatever you want to buy today, just tell your second brother and he will pay for it!"

Chu Tianjiao knew that her second brother had just received a reward of silver, and his wallet was bulging at this time, so he nodded in approval.

Chu Yun'er was not polite and said to Chu Minyu: "Second brother, there have been several treasure shops selling rare treasures from all over the world recently opened on Zhuque Street. I really want to go shopping."

Chu Minyu waved his hand proudly: "Let's go to Zhuque Street."

The five brothers and sisters took two carriages and headed straight to Suzaku Street.

It has been a long time since Chu Tianjiao visited Zhuque Street. Every time he passed by, he would rush by in a carriage.

When I got off the carriage today, I saw that it was really lively.

Indeed, as Chu Yun'er said, several new shops opened on the street.

Especially the Qizhen Pavilion, which had been closed down before, was actually opened again.

Although the owner has changed, the name is still Qizhen Pavilion, and the items sold inside are much the same as before.

If Chu Tianjiao hadn't known that the shopkeeper was dead, he would have suspected that it was the previous one.

There are many people wearing Dongyi costumes on the street. It is said that the Dongyi tribute mission this time also brought many caravans with them.

Chu Tianjiao was a little curious about the newly opened Qizhen Pavilion. When he passed by, he walked in.

Chu Yun'er held her arm and was dazzled by the decoration of the store as soon as she entered the door. She opened her mouth and said "Wow".

Chu Tianjiao was quickly dragged to the jewelry area on the first floor by Chu Yuner.

"Sister, this set of ruby ​​​​hair and face is so beautiful. You like to wear red clothes on weekdays. It suits you so well."

"There is also this set of small pearls, which are just right for Fei'er to wear. They are noble and cute."

"Yeah, yeah, what's the material of this shiny set? It's so shiny!"

……

Chu Yun'er has not dared to buy any jewelry since she pretended to be poor with Chu Tianjiao in Uncle Wu Ning's Mansion.

Today I suddenly saw so many beautiful pieces of jewelry, and I couldn't help but get excited. I kept talking and pointed at the most beautiful sets of jewelry on the stand.

Even Chu Yufei, even though she was young, was attracted by the jewelry on the stand. Her eyes were shining, staring at the little pearl head and face that Chu Yun'er was talking about.

Chu Minyu, who was following behind, smiled and said, "If you like it, buy it. It just so happens that the second brother will give you a set of jewelry today."

Chu Yun'er let go of Chu Tianjiao, turned around and hugged Chu Minyu, and praised with a silly smile: "Second brother is the best, second brother is domineering!"

Chu Yufei whispered: "Thank you, second brother."

Chu Tianjiao knew how much silver reward Chu Minyu had received. She also knew what kind of price jewelry like this would be sold at Qizhen Pavilion, so she waved her hand and refused:

"Second brother, I don't need them. I have too many jewelry to wear. Just buy them for my second and third sisters."

How could Chu Minyu be willing to favor one over the other? He said to the waiter standing behind the counter: "How much are these three sets in total? Please wrap them up for me."

When the waiter knew that he had met a big customer, he said happily: "Sincerity is 200 taels, I'll give you a discount, 7000 taels is enough."

Chu Minyu didn't react for a moment and asked: "How much?"

The waiter repeated: "7000 taels. This set of rubies uses the best pigeon blood. The colors are transparent and contain no impurities. This set alone costs 5000 taels."

Chu Minyu's hand froze when he took out the money. The reward he got this time was only 2000 taels in total.

Even with the salary he usually saves, his total assets are only worth 3000 taels of silver.

And these three sets of jewelry actually cost 7000 taels.

Chu Minyu suddenly felt so poor!

Of course Chu Tianjiao would not let her second brother make a fool of herself, and she didn't really want to buy that set of masks.

She usually dresses in men's clothing and rarely wears jewelry.

Moreover, the emperor, the prince and the third prince had all rewarded her with a lot of jewelry in the past few times, but she has not touched it yet.

"Second brother, you see I wear men's clothes all day long. I really have no use for this jewelry."

"Xiao Er, just the crystal one and the little pearl one, how much are they in total?"

Chu Tianjiao was telling the truth. Even if she didn't have to go to Taixue today, she would still be dressed in men's clothing.

The only difference was that he was wearing a moon-white tunic.

Chu Yun'er used to often buy jewelry. According to the prices in other stores, a crystal set cost only a few hundred taels of silver, and even a ruby ​​set only cost about a thousand taels.

Although the jewelry from Qizhen Pavilion seemed to be of better quality and more fashionable, the price was completely beyond her expectations.

She knew that she was embarrassing Chu Minyu, so she waved her hands hurriedly and sensibly: "No, I don't want it anymore, just buy it for Fei'er."

Chu Yufei glanced at the little pearl head at the counter with some nostalgia, a tangled look on her face, and finally said in a similar manner: "I don't want it either."

Chu Minyu blushed a little.

I wanted to act like a big brother in front of my sisters, but unexpectedly, my wallet didn't support it.

He lowered his head in embarrassment and said to Chu Tianjiao: "Sister, why don't I buy it for you next time? I really only have enough money for two sets."

Looking at the reaction of this group of people, the waiter knew that the price was too expensive, so he quickly started to explain how their workmanship and materials were different and worth the money.

Chu Tianjiao was about to interrupt the waiter's enthusiastic recommendation. At this time, a man walked down from the second floor and said to the waiter: "Pack up all three sets, a total of 2000 taels, and sell them to Mr. Chu Er."
