Once a dead eunuch
Chapter 46 "Counterfeiting"
Extremely, I have a lot of good impressions, but Lu Qingzhou is the last thing I want to see him.
Lu Qingzhou listened to Dou Yanting talking to him, he didn't want to answer, but turned to the little prince Jing Baiyu and said: "It's getting late, Your Highness, please set off."
"En!" Jing Baiyu agreed, and said crisply: "Li Changsheng, help me to go to the hospital. As for the matter of General Dou and Lu Zhan, I will have to drive the car!"
"Yes, humble general." Dou Yanting clasped his fists heartily.
Lu Qingzhou was dumbfounded, and said: "Too... Prince's Hall..."
Jing Baiyu didn't give him a chance to refute, and jumped into the car, pulled Li Changsheng into it, then lowered the curtain of the car, tucked it tightly, blocking Lu Qingzhou's pale expression.
"Lord Lu, please." Dou Yanting said politely, "Don't make His Royal Highness wait too long."
Lu Qingzhou had never driven a carriage before, so he bit the bullet and sat on it.In fact, he didn't need him to drive the carriage, and Dou Yanting came to serve him.
Li Changsheng got into the car and sat on the mat, seeing the little prince Jing Baiyu smiling like a kitten stealing fish.
The little tiger raised his head and smiled at Jing Baiyu in surprise, as if he didn't know what the little master was happy about.
"His Royal Highness, it's really not very kind of you to bully Mr. Lu like this." Li Changsheng sighed.
"What's the matter?" Jing Baiyu said confidently: "Have you forgotten how Lu Qingzhou bullied you before? This prince is bullying Lu Qingzhou for your sake. You should know how to thank this prince."
"This..." Li Changsheng couldn't laugh or cry.
The little prince, Jing Baiyu, spoke in a high-sounding manner, and his reasons were just right. Originally, he wanted to bully others, but now he pushed it on Li Changsheng.
Li Changsheng thought about it, in the future he must teach the little prince some good things, but he can't make Jing Baiyu grow crooked again.Otherwise, it is not certain who will suffer in the future.
Dou Yanting and Lu Qingzhou drove outside the palace, all the way out of the palace.
On the way, Lu Qingzhou only regarded Dou Yanting as air, and didn't say a word to him.On the contrary, Dou Yanting turned his head to look at Lu Qingzhou several times, but finally couldn't bear it anymore.
Dou Yanting said in a low voice: "Master Lu, what's your opinion on... Dou?"
"Don't dare." Lu Qingzhou said expressionlessly.
Dou Yanting was a little uncertain, and said, "But Mr. Lu blamed someone Dou for what happened when he fled a few days ago?"
Speaking of the day before, Lu Qingzhou felt his old face hurt, and he didn't answer Dou Yanting's words at all.
The car is not soundproof, not as elegant as the main hall.Li Changsheng and Jing Baiyu were sitting in the car, although the voices outside were lowered, they could still hear them vaguely.
When Jing Baiyu heard this, she immediately moved forward, sticking her head against the curtain of the car in front, looking like she was spying.
The little tiger followed immediately, following Jing Baiyu's example, and listened carefully.
Li Changsheng shook his head helplessly, and told Jing Baiyu and the little tiger to go on their own without saying anything.
Not long after, I heard Dou Yanting and Lu Qingzhou talking outside.
Dou Yanting opened his mouth again, and said: "Actually, on Mount Bai'an, it's really someone Dou's fault."
Lu Qingzhou's face was ashen, he didn't want to mention those things at all, but Dou Yanting couldn't understand the wink.It's true, Dou Yanting is a general who fights, and he doesn't have too many tricks in his heart. If he can read the eyes of others, he might not be a general Dou.
Dou Yanting continued: "At the time I passed out, I didn't know that Mr. Lu had done so many things for someone Dou. When Mr. Dou woke up and didn't see Mr. Lu, he was also very anxious, that's why he and those bandits A fight started. Mr. Dou didn't know Master Lu's plan, so...that's why I said I didn't know that I had a daughter-in-law. I didn't mean to embarrass Master Lu on purpose, I..."
"Dou Yanting!"
Lu Qingzhou really couldn't listen anymore, so he gave him a sideways glance, and said, "You're buzzing, aren't you! Shut up! Say one more word, and I'll kick you off the car Kick it down!"
"Wow--"
Jing Baiyu sighed, and said to herself naturally: "Lu Qingzhou is so strong, look at Li Changsheng, General Dou was frightened stupid!"
"Keep your voice down." Li Changsheng made a gesture of silence to Jing Baiyu, and said, "General Dou is excellent in martial arts, be careful that General Dou hears His Highness the Crown Prince's words."
"Yes, yes." Jing Baiyu quickly covered her mouth, nodded to Li Changsheng, and continued to eavesdrop secretly.
Dou Yanting was indeed overwhelmed by Lu Qingzhou's aura, so he didn't notice that someone in the car room was eavesdropping.Furthermore, Dou Yanting did not believe that His Royal Highness would eavesdrop.
Dou Yanting was at a loss for words for a long while, but at last he touched his nose angrily, and sat on the side without saying a word.
After Lu Qingzhou scolded Dou Yanting, he was really worried, for he was afraid that he would be the one who got kicked off the car.
But soon, Lu Qingzhou found that his consideration was superfluous.Dou Yanting looked like a huge dog who had just been reprimanded by his master, sitting beside him with his head slumped, looking rather pitiful.
"His Royal Highness, we are coming soon, don't eavesdrop." Li Changsheng reminded.
"I haven't heard enough." Jing Baiyu pouted.
Sure enough, Che Yu stopped after a while, and opened the curtain to see, outside was a magnificent and unique mansion.The mansion is empty, the plaque has not been hung, and there is not a single servant inside.
Jing Baiyu jumped out of the car, looked up curiously, and said, "It doesn't look like anything new, but it's a bit shabby."
Lu Qingzhou said next to him: "His Royal Highness, this mansion is not shabby, it is the mansion bestowed by the emperor, it is several times better than the mansion of the imperial servant, Taichang, Dahonglu and Dasinong! You may be envious man."
"That's it." Jing Baiyu said.
Lu Qingzhou said again: "Furthermore, this location is also very good. The street behind is extremely lively and the most prosperous. After a while, we visited Lord Li's mansion, and the minister took His Royal Highness , go for a walk there, there is something new and stubborn, I guarantee His Royal Highness will like it."
It sounds good, Li Changsheng and Lu Qingzhou are the most familiar with this way, and they can make Jing Baiyu very happy.It's just that Li Changsheng doesn't know much about Dajing yet, and the stubbornness in the capital is not as familiar as Lu Qingzhou's, so he needs to listen to Lu Qingzhou's introduction at this moment.
Jing Baiyu became interested, pulled Li Changsheng and said, "That's great, Li Changsheng, let's be stubborn there for a while, do you think it's okay?"
Li Changsheng said: "His Royal Highness is happy, of course it is good."
Jing Baiyu looked back at Lu Qingzhou again, and said, "What kind of restaurant is there over there? The prince hasn't eaten in a restaurant outside yet."
"This," Dou Yanting heard, said: "His Royal Highness, this is really dangerous. For the meal, it's better to stay in Lord Li's mansion..."
If something happens to be poisoned, I'm afraid...
"Look at what you said," Lu Qingzhou was the first to retort, "Master Li's mansion is empty, there is no one and no food, what do you ask His Royal Highness to eat? Although the wine shop outside is not as good as the dining room in the palace, But it also has a different flavor. Besides, with General Dou guarding him, His Royal Highness doesn’t need to worry about safety, does he?”
Jing Baiyu was eager to try, and was very interested in the wine shop outside, so she raised her head and glanced at Li Changsheng.
Seeing his hopeful face, Li Changsheng said, "General Dou, there is no need to worry. As long as His Highness the Crown Prince's identity is not revealed and you proceed carefully, it's just eating outside. There is no danger."
"That's good." Dou Yanting listened to Li Changsheng and opened his mouth together, but it was not easy to refute, so he nodded in agreement immediately.
When Lu Qingzhou took a look, he began to mutter again in his heart.This Dou Yanting was aiming at him, he just teased him on the road, now it's like this again!
He disagreed when he said to go to the wine shop, but when Li Changsheng said to go to the wine shop, Dou Yanting rushed to agree.
"Great!" Jing Baiyu happily pulled Li Changsheng into the mansion quickly.
This mansion is brand new, there is nothing inside, even the rockery has not been placed, every room is empty when the door is opened, it looks huge.
Jing Baiyu walked in the front, followed by the little tiger with its chest up.
Jing Baiyu pointed to the largest room in front, and said, "I like this room, keep it for me! I will live here when I leave the palace."
"His Royal Highness," Li Changsheng said with a smile, "this is the main house, and it should be the place where Changsheng lives."
Jing Baiyu pouted her lips and looked up at him, saying: "You are so stingy, you can't share half of such a big room with me?"
"Ooooooooooo!"
The little tiger yelled at the side, Jing Baiyu glanced at it, and said, "That's right, we also share half the room with the little cats. There's more..."
Jing Baiyu ran out of the room together with the little tiger again, wandered around in the garden behind, and said, "Let's build a pavilion here, it will definitely look good. Build an attic on the other side, where you can listen to operas. There is also a pavilion on the other side." ..."
Li Changsheng ran around helplessly following Jing Baiyu, only to feel that this was not his own mansion, but rather like the prince's mansion of the little prince Jing Baiyu.
After a while, Jing Baiyu was so tired from running that even the little tiger lay on the ground unwilling to move.
Li Changsheng walked over and said, "Since His Royal Highness is hungry, let's not go out, and we'll just have lunch in the mansion."
"No!" Jing Baiyu jumped up immediately, looked at Li Changsheng eagerly and said, "I'm going to the restaurant for lunch! I just agreed."
Li Changsheng was just teasing him, not really not telling Jing Baiyu to go to the wine shop. When they came out of the mansion, they were guided by Lu Qingzhou, and they walked to the street behind with ease.
The street behind here is indeed very lively, many shops are booming, and there are not just one or two wine shops.
Dou Yanting has been stationed at the border gate for many years, and it is rare for him to go back to the capital. Now that he saw this scene, he couldn't help sighing: "If one day, the border town can be as prosperous as it is, it will be the best."
He pointed to a restaurant in front of him and said: "This restaurant is clean and tidy, and there are not many people there. May I ask you, my lord, do you want to eat here?"
Jing Baiyu walked all the way, she was already dazzled, she thought about it and said: "Here..."
Lu Qingzhou came up from behind and said: "Look at Brother Dou's eyesight. This is just an ordinary restaurant, you don't see much patronage, and the food inside is not very tasty. It's not as good as the restaurant in front."
Jing Baiyu looked in the direction of Lu Qingzhou's finger, and sure enough, he saw a wine shop not far away, the facade was amazing, the two-story building was very chic, the door was crowded with people, it seemed that the business was booming, it was not like the empty restaurant in front of him.
"Wow, that side really looks good." Jing Baiyu blinked her big eyes and said.
Li Changsheng didn't care, he just listened to Jing Baiyu's command.
Everyone simply changed places and went to the restaurant recommended by Lu Qingzhou.
"Ouch! Mr. Lu San! The villain is looking forward to you! Please come in, please come in!"
They put them at the door of the restaurant, and the shopkeeper ran out with a smile on his face, as if he and Lu Qingzhou were old acquaintances.
Lu Qingzhou is a well-known rich son in the capital, who doesn't know the third son of the Lu family?The shopkeeper knew that Mr. Lu San was a rich master, so he naturally rushed to meet him.
The shopkeeper led them up to the second floor. The second floor was much cleaner than the first floor, but there were still no empty seats.There was a vacant seat by the window, which was just right for them to sit down together.
The shopkeeper has never met Li Changsheng and others, but only knows Lu Qingzhou. He smiled and flattered Lu Qingzhou the whole time, and said: "Whatever Lu Gongzi wants to eat, the villain will ask the cook to do it! By the way, Lu Gongzi, Miss Maner is here today, Mr. Lu, would you like to invite Miss Maner to play a song?"
"What Miss Man'er?" Jing Baiyu was the first to raise her face and ask.
Lu Qingzhou was tongue-tied for a moment, and hurriedly said: "No need, just serve the best dishes in your store, go quickly."
"Yes." The shopkeeper responded quickly.
That's all Lu Qingzhou said, then changed the topic with a smile, pointed to the outside and said: "Young master, the view here is very good, you can have a panoramic view of several streets on the left and right. Take a look, young master, if it looks good, After eating in a while, let's go to play."
"Okay." Jing Baiyu was also coaxing, lying on the window and looking into the distance.
"Master Lu..."
At this moment, Jing Baiyu had already forgotten Miss Man'er's complaints, how could she have expected that when Miss Man'er heard that Lu Qingzhou was here, she would take the initiative to come forward to salute.
Although Dajing is an ancient place, it is not as strict as ordinary people imagined for women.In fact, women in many dynasties in history were extremely open.Marriage and divorce are all normal.
After many women reconcile and divorce, they can remarry with children, and there is nothing wrong with it.Even among the empresses in the emperor's harem, some of them were women who were married and had children.
There is nothing to do on weekdays, and it is not uncommon for three or two ladies to go out for a stroll with their companions. Girls from poor families also go out to make a living.
And this Man'er girl must be a girl from a poor family. Due to the problem of livelihood, she often comes to this wine shop to play the piano and sing, or some rich men can give her some money.
Lu Qingzhou had been here several times before, just in time for Miss Man'er to play and sing. Seeing that she played the piano well and her background was quite poor, she gave her an extra sum of money.
When had Miss Man'er seen such a generous and generous young man, besides a handsome man, she immediately fell in love with her.
Although Jing Baiyu is still young, but after looking at it like this, she immediately understood that this Man'er girl must be Lu Qingzhou's love debt again, and this Lu Qingzhou is really...
Just as he was thinking like this, Miss Man'er came forward to salute, and when she looked up, she saw Li Changsheng sitting next to Lu Qingzhou.
This is really incredible, Miss Man'er thought to herself a few days ago, there is probably no one in this world who is younger and more handsome than Young Master Lu.However, it is very different now, this strange young man is actually more handsome than Mr Lu, with only his gentle aura, he does not know how many women's hearts he can attract.
Li Changsheng saw that Miss Man'er was looking at him, and he didn't feel much discomfort. Instead, he smiled politely at her and nodded.
Li Changsheng's smile made Miss Man'er's cheeks flush with shame, she knew she was acting abruptly, so she quickly lowered her head.
When Jing Baiyu saw it, she couldn't help curling her lips, thinking that the two people around her, whether it was Li Changsheng or Lu Qingzhou, were all deeply in debt.
When Lu Qingzhou saw Miss Man'er, she was extremely embarrassed. After all, in front of His Royal Highness, she might be misunderstood, and she might be mistaken for some prodigal son...
Miss Man'er whispered softly: "It's rare that Mr. Lu is here, so Man'er will play a song for you, okay?"
"Isn't that unnecessary?" Lu Qingzhou coughed and said, "Our young master doesn't need drums to eat."
Jing Baiyu said in an adult-like manner, "It's nothing to play a piece of music."
"This..." Lu Qingzhou suddenly didn't know what to say.
Li Changsheng whispered to Jing Baiyu, "Don't bully Lu Zhan again."
Jing Baiyu looked at him innocently, and said: "I just want to listen to the piano music while eating, can't that work?"
Jing Baiyu had already spoken, and Lu Qingzhou couldn't say no, so he bit the bullet and asked Miss Man'er to play.
Jing Baiyu listened with her chin resting on her cheeks, and suddenly turned her head to Dou Yanting, who had been silent for a while, and said, "Is this music good?"
Dou Yanting was embarrassed and said: "Du is a rough person, really... I really don't understand it."
Jing Baiyu nodded, and said again: "Then this girl is prettier than your daughter-in-law?"
"What... what?" Dou Yanting was taken aback.
Lu Qingzhou next to him was already in a hot sweat, but after hearing what Jing Baiyu said, he was actually in a cold sweat.
Dou Yanting's daughter-in-law, isn't that referring to Lu Qingzhou?
Dou Yanting is a stubborn person. Hearing Jing Baiyu's question, he couldn't help but recall Lu Qingzhou's appearance in women's clothing.Lu Qingzhou has red lips and white teeth. He usually looks like a handsome young man, but he looks a little taller in women's clothing, which is not at all inconsistent.really……
She really is a little bit prettier than the Maner girl in front of her...
"Look, nephew."
Seeing that Dou Yanting and Lu Qingzhou had different expressions, Li Changsheng couldn't help but shook his head, raised his finger and pointed to the outside of the restaurant, and said, "There is a shop over there, it looks really strange."
"Bah, bah, who is your nephew, why can't you take advantage of it?" Jing Baiyu was instantly attracted by Li Changsheng's attention.
Li Changsheng looked at him sideways with a smile, and said, "Didn't you learn this from your good nephew? It's not enough for a good nephew to take advantage of it."
"Who said that?" Jing Baiyu refused to admit it, leaned on the window and looked down, and saw the shop Li Changsheng was pointing at, and said, "It's really strange."
Just look at the shops not far across the street, one of the doors is closed, as if it has not been opened, but there are already many men and women lined up in front of the door.The other shops next to it were in stark contrast with that shop, and they looked deserted.
Jing Baiyu wondered: "What time is it? Why hasn't the shop opened yet? Have they stopped doing business? And why is there a long line in front of the door? What is it for? It's so strange."
Jing Baiyu didn't go out of the palace very often, and neither did Li Changsheng, so he didn't know what was going on and couldn't answer Jing Baiyu.
On the other hand, Dou Yanting asked three questions, and even Lu Qingzhou had no clue.
"Back to the young master," Miss Man'er said with great insight after playing the song, "It's a incense powder shop, it only opens at noon, and it must close before sunset. The number of things sold in a day Not much. If you want to buy incense powder from his shop, you have to wait in line early, otherwise you will be empty."
"Huh?" Jing Baiyu opened her eyes wide and said, "There is such a thing? This is the first time I've heard of it."
Li Changsheng was not surprised when he heard this. This is not much different from modern Internet celebrity restaurants, they are all very popular.It's just that Li Changsheng never imagined that such an "online celebrity shop" existed in ancient times.
"Selling incense powder?" Dou Yanting really couldn't understand, and said, "Selling so well?"
Jing Baiyu looked at Dou Yanting with a smile, and said: "Maybe it's the best incense powder, why don't you also go to the queue and buy some for your wife, maybe he will be very happy!"
Jing Baiyu is in a good mood today, so she took the time to tease Lu Qingzhou and Dou Yanting.
When Lu Qingzhou heard this, he quickly lowered his head, as if they were not talking about himself.
Dou Yanting smiled, and said quite honestly: "This... I think he might not like incense powder."
Jing Baiyu became interested and asked, "Then what do you think he likes?"
Dou Yanting showed a embarrassed expression, as if he couldn't think of it for a moment, and then said: "Gold and silver land deed?"
Lu Qingzhou had made up his mind and planned to say nothing more.Who would have thought that Dou Yanting seemed honest, but in fact he was extremely irritating.
Lu Qingzhou didn't hold back, and almost jumped up and said: "Bah! I am that vulgar person? Who said I like gold and silver land deeds? You don't want to be vulgar, just think that others are like you!"
He spoke quickly, but immediately regretted it after saying it.
Sure enough, the girl next to her was dumbfounded.This Young Master Dou is clearly talking about his wife, why does Third Young Master Lu retort so excitedly?
So strange...
Jing Baiyu was already laughing so hard that Li Changsheng was really afraid that he would accidentally fall out of the window, so he quickly reached out and hugged him.
Jing Baiyu quit, and said: "What are you doing, I still want to see. Look, look, the powder shop over there is open! Someone has come out!"
Li Changsheng took a look, the shop on the opposite side of the building was indeed opened, and a few employees came out of it.
Everyone was sitting on the second floor of the restaurant, and for a while they could clearly hear the guy talking.
A job greeted everyone, saying: "Everyone, don't be crowded! A new style of condensed dough has come to this small shop today! I guarantee that all young ladies will like it! The quantity is not much, but it is the favorite of Qin Meiren in the palace recently. You might as well buy it back and try it out! I promise you won’t suffer any losses!”
Jing Baiyu blinked and asked, "Who is Miss Qin?"
Li Changsheng couldn't remember it for a while, and said, "This..."
The gelatinous dough sold in the shop downstairs is the cleansing and make-up remover used in modern daily life. Many face powder shops also sell them, just like the face powder shop diagonally across the street, they sell no less than a dozen kinds of gelatin powder , but if you want to talk about which incense powder shop in the capital is the most prosperous, it is naturally the one in front of you.
"What kind of agglomerate is this? I haven't heard of it. Why don't we buy a few?" Jing Baiyu asked curiously.
Li Changsheng smiled and said, "If nephew wants it, uncle will ask someone to buy it."
When Jing Baiyu heard this, she turned her head and glared at him, saying: "No more! Maybe it's a lie, who knows if it's Qin Meiren's favorite condensate."
"Young Master, you don't know something." The Man'er girl said next to her, "The things sold in this incense powder shop are never fake, but authentic! I have bought from this shop several times, and everything is authentic. It's the best, it's indeed the favorite of the ladies in the harem."
"Really? So amazing?" Jing Baiyu said.
Miss Man'er obviously liked the incense powder shop downstairs very much, and said: "It's true, I heard that the well-known servant in the palace, Mrs. Li Changsheng, entrusted someone to open a shop outside!"
"Li Changsheng!"
Jing Baiyu was startled, and couldn't help but glance at Li Changsheng next to him.
Li Changsheng smiled, not too surprised, as if the Man'er girl was not talking about him.
Miss Man'er didn't know that the Li Changsheng she was talking about was in front of her eyes, and she continued to say: "Master Li, do you know this young master? That is a legendary figure! I heard that the empress in the palace, whether it is the queen or The queen mother admires him quite a lot. Do you know why?"
Miss Man'er didn't give Jing Baiyu a chance to guess, and said with a smile: "It's because of Mr. Li's ingenuity! I heard that he has his own method for these incense powders, and he can often create new ones. Ladies love incense powder, so Mr. Li is naturally quite favored and trusted! And the shop opposite has Mr. Li's share, do you think the things in this shop will not be easy to use?"
Master Li opened a shop, but Li Changsheng didn't know...
"I heard it..." Li Changsheng said calmly, "I'm quite interested."
Lu Qingzhou and Dou Yanting were also surprised, they all looked downstairs, thinking in their hearts, it's really a coincidence that they went out of the palace today, and they encountered such a thing.
"Come and see!"
"Come here and have a look!"
"This shop sells the balm 'Flower Before Moonlight' that Mr. Li personally mixes!"
"It's only available today!"
"It's useless to miss it!"
There was a burst of shouting downstairs, and the crowd in line also boiled up.
I could vaguely hear someone say: "Quickly, bring me a balm."
"Give it to me first, I want ten copies!"
"Oh, Master Li personally made it, it must be a good thing, you have to stock up on some."
"Exactly."
Jing Baiyu poked her head up to look, and felt unhappy. Some people used Li Changsheng's name to swindle and cheat, but so many people believed it!It's a mess.
Jing Baiyu was not happy at the moment, so she simply jumped up, put her hands up, and sat on the eaves of the window on the second floor of the restaurant.
This startled Li Changsheng, others didn't know, and thought that Jing Baiyu was going to commit suicide by jumping off a building, so he quickly grabbed Jing Baiyu and said, "Be careful."
Jing Baiyu didn't have time to talk to him, so she breathed a sigh of relief and shouted downstairs: "Liar! Big liar!"
"Young master, this is..."
Miss Man'er was taken aback and hurriedly dissuaded her.
Lu Qingzhou and Dou Yanting were also a little at a loss, they all looked at Li Changsheng who was on the side.At this time, it is better to invite Li Changsheng, Lord Li, to restrain His Highness the Crown Prince.
Jing Baiyu yelled, although there was a lot of noise below, many people heard the sound and immediately looked up.
Jing Baiyu was watched by everyone, without the slightest sign of timidity, and shouted: "They are big liars! Don't be fooled! The powder and dough in this store are not made by Li Changsheng, and they have nothing to do with Li Changsheng. It has nothing to do with it! Maybe it's not something that the empress in the palace likes! They are big liars, don't let them be tricked into their hands!"
Jing Baiyu yelled a lot in one breath, until he coughed, wishing his voice would become hoarse.
Li Changsheng pulled him to prevent Jing Baiyu from falling, and said helplessly, "You come down first, but are you going to die uncle?"
"What time is it, and you're still joking." Jing Baiyu turned to stare at him, and said, "Someone is bluffing over there! I hate liars the most."
Li Changsheng had no choice but to say: "Yes, yes, why don't you come down first, and then we can expose their deception?"
"Really?" Jing Baiyu looked at him uncertainly, and said, "You don't want to lie to me."
Li Changsheng said with a smile: "Of course not. My good nephew will stop talking. I hate liars the most. How could uncle trick you?"
Jing Baiyu snorted, jumped off the window eaves, and was caught by Li Changsheng like a small cannonball.
"Is this going to..." Lu Qingzhou asked suspiciously.
Li Changsheng said: "It's rare to come across such interesting things when I come out. I'll take my nephew down for a while. You can continue to eat and don't worry about us."
"Let's go along." Lu Qingzhou hurriedly said.
His Royal Highness went to "crack down on counterfeiting", Lu Qingzhou dared not ask His Royal Highness and Li Changsheng to go, for fear of any danger.
Lu Qingzhou hurriedly pulled up Dou Yanting who was next to him, and said, "What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and protect the young master. If anything happens, you are the only one to ask!"
"Okay." Dou Yanting agreed without hesitation, and said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen if I'm here."
Seeing the situation, Man'er hurried to stop Lu Qingzhou, saying: "Young master Lu, don't go, you don't know that the shopkeeper of the incense powder shop downstairs has a lot of background, if you offend them, it will definitely not be good. For food, don’t go into the muddy water.”
Dou Yanting had already chased Li Changsheng and Jing Baiyu away, Lu Qingzhou became anxious when he saw it, and said: "Thank you for reminding me, miss."
After he said that, he hurriedly pulled away and left without staying for half a minute.
On the other side, Li Changsheng carried Jing Baiyu out of the restaurant, and was immediately surrounded by guys from the face powder shop, a rough count showed that there were twelve or thirteen guys.
These guys are all tall and burly, and they are more like thug guards than they are guys. It seems that they are not ordinary.
Suddenly someone shouted that the incense powder shop is deceiving people. There were originally many people queuing up, but now there were even more onlookers, and the street was almost crowded.
The shopkeeper's greeting staff surrounded them, and said to the people around him: "Don't be in a daze, someone is looking for something, you should hurry up and ask the young master to come over."
"Yes!" The guy responded and trotted away.
Jing Baiyu is the crown prince, and he has seen the world, so he is not afraid of these ten or so fellows, and said: "What's the matter? Are you going to beat someone after being exposed by me in person? This is the imperial city, I'm afraid there is no It's the king's law!"
What Jing Baiyu said is right, this is the capital city, even if the powder shop has a background, it is not easy to do it in broad daylight.
The shopkeeper came out and said with a smile: "You can't say that. We do business in a proper manner, but you came out to find trouble, and now you talk as if we bullied you. This is called Wang Fa. !"
"It's you who lied!" Jing Baiyu said.
"We cheated?" The shopkeeper sneered and said, "How do we cheat? You are a half-grown baby, what can you know? Today I will teach you a lesson for your father!"
As the shopkeeper said, he showed his arms and rolled up his sleeves, striding forward, as if he wanted to catch Jing Baiyu a lesson.
Jing Baiyu took a look and immediately hid behind Li Changsheng.
Li Changsheng just stood there without moving, but someone quickly stepped forward, stopped the shopkeeper outside, and said, "Don't be rude!"
Naturally, Li Changsheng didn't need to do anything, there was Dou Yanting here, but there were only a dozen thugs, they were not regular soldiers, and they didn't have any weapons, so they were not their opponents.
Li Changsheng smiled all over his face and looked extremely gentle. He put his arms around Jing Baiyu who was hiding behind him, and said: "Although my nephew is young, everyone knows this kid. He has the purest nature, and he doesn't look like an adult." So good at lying. Isn't it?"
"Hey, the things sold in this store are not real or fake?"
"No, I bought a lot."
As soon as Li Changsheng said it, someone beside him began to murmur, and they began to discuss in low voices.
The shopkeeper took a look, stared and said, "You say the things in our shop are fake, do you have evidence?"
Li Changsheng seemed to be waiting for his words. He pointed his hand and said, "I just heard something from the side. You said that this incense powder is made of sandalwood, patchouli, and cedar branches?"
"Exactly!" The shopkeeper said proudly with his chest straightened out, "This incense powder is also made from a secret recipe in the palace, and it is His Royal Highness's favorite incense powder today."
"I..." Jing Baiyu stared angrily, when had he ever smelled such a smell?
Li Changsheng nodded and said, "It's good that the shopkeeper admits it."
The shopkeeper was a little dazed, and said, "What's so good about it?"
"It seems that the shopkeeper doesn't know anything about incense powder." Li Changsheng said: "I smelled this incense powder from a distance. There should be no patchouli in it, but it smells of white ginger. Although patchouli and white ginger They all smell spicy, but patchouli has a slightly bitter taste, which is quite different from white ginger. Does the shopkeeper not understand this point?"
"What?" The shopkeeper looked even more confused, he really didn't know anything about white ginger and patchouli.
Li Changsheng said again: "It's better to find a few perfumers, so everyone will know if what I'm saying is true or not."
The shopkeeper's eyeballs rolled, and he quickly changed his words, saying: "I just slipped my tongue and said something wrong. The powder is indeed white ginger, not patchouli."
"Oh."
Li Changsheng agreed insincerely, with a smile that didn't reach his eyes, and said: "This time, the shopkeeper is probably wrong again."
"What?!" The shopkeeper almost jumped up in fright, not knowing what he said wrong again.
Jing Baiyu was also confused, but Lu Qingzhou beside him gave a light laugh.
Dou Yanting asked: "What is Mr. Lu laughing at?"
Lu Qingzhou said: "A vulgar person like you can't smell it. In this incense powder, there is neither patchouli nor white ginger. It should be mother ginger, commonly known as old ginger."
"This..." Dou Yanting said puzzled, "What's the difference?"
Lu Qingzhou said: "Let's just say you are a rough person. This mother ginger smells stronger, so it is naturally different."
Sure enough, he heard Li Changsheng speak, which was exactly the same as what Lu Qingzhou said.
The shopkeeper suddenly thumped in his heart, it turned out that he had fallen into the trap because of his carelessness!
Li Changsheng deliberately deceived him just now, just to prevent the shopkeeper from changing his words temporarily and denying it.
Now that the shopkeeper lived up to expectations, he really changed his words temporarily, so it became a public slap in the face.
Li Changsheng didn't need to say anything more, the crowd beside him was already boiling.
"fake!"
"Oh, I bought a lot! They are all fake!"
"This shop is a lie!"
"This is too bad! Wicked!"
The shopkeeper was dumbfounded, and hurriedly shouted: "Everyone, please be safe and don't be impatient, please be safe and don't be impatient!"
"I don't want this thing anymore!"
"Give us back the money!"
"I won't be shopping here anymore."
The shopkeeper yelled for a long time, his voice became hoarse, but no one answered him, instead a large group of people clamored to refund the silver.
When Jing Baiyu saw it, he immediately became happy, and said to Li Changsheng: "You still have the ability!"
"It's nothing," Li Changsheng said flatly, "It's just that the shopkeeper is too amateur."
"The son is here, the son is here!"
"Get out of the way!"
Just at this moment, there was a commotion outside, and it seemed that there were servants and tall horses, more than ten people came
Lu Qingzhou listened to Dou Yanting talking to him, he didn't want to answer, but turned to the little prince Jing Baiyu and said: "It's getting late, Your Highness, please set off."
"En!" Jing Baiyu agreed, and said crisply: "Li Changsheng, help me to go to the hospital. As for the matter of General Dou and Lu Zhan, I will have to drive the car!"
"Yes, humble general." Dou Yanting clasped his fists heartily.
Lu Qingzhou was dumbfounded, and said: "Too... Prince's Hall..."
Jing Baiyu didn't give him a chance to refute, and jumped into the car, pulled Li Changsheng into it, then lowered the curtain of the car, tucked it tightly, blocking Lu Qingzhou's pale expression.
"Lord Lu, please." Dou Yanting said politely, "Don't make His Royal Highness wait too long."
Lu Qingzhou had never driven a carriage before, so he bit the bullet and sat on it.In fact, he didn't need him to drive the carriage, and Dou Yanting came to serve him.
Li Changsheng got into the car and sat on the mat, seeing the little prince Jing Baiyu smiling like a kitten stealing fish.
The little tiger raised his head and smiled at Jing Baiyu in surprise, as if he didn't know what the little master was happy about.
"His Royal Highness, it's really not very kind of you to bully Mr. Lu like this." Li Changsheng sighed.
"What's the matter?" Jing Baiyu said confidently: "Have you forgotten how Lu Qingzhou bullied you before? This prince is bullying Lu Qingzhou for your sake. You should know how to thank this prince."
"This..." Li Changsheng couldn't laugh or cry.
The little prince, Jing Baiyu, spoke in a high-sounding manner, and his reasons were just right. Originally, he wanted to bully others, but now he pushed it on Li Changsheng.
Li Changsheng thought about it, in the future he must teach the little prince some good things, but he can't make Jing Baiyu grow crooked again.Otherwise, it is not certain who will suffer in the future.
Dou Yanting and Lu Qingzhou drove outside the palace, all the way out of the palace.
On the way, Lu Qingzhou only regarded Dou Yanting as air, and didn't say a word to him.On the contrary, Dou Yanting turned his head to look at Lu Qingzhou several times, but finally couldn't bear it anymore.
Dou Yanting said in a low voice: "Master Lu, what's your opinion on... Dou?"
"Don't dare." Lu Qingzhou said expressionlessly.
Dou Yanting was a little uncertain, and said, "But Mr. Lu blamed someone Dou for what happened when he fled a few days ago?"
Speaking of the day before, Lu Qingzhou felt his old face hurt, and he didn't answer Dou Yanting's words at all.
The car is not soundproof, not as elegant as the main hall.Li Changsheng and Jing Baiyu were sitting in the car, although the voices outside were lowered, they could still hear them vaguely.
When Jing Baiyu heard this, she immediately moved forward, sticking her head against the curtain of the car in front, looking like she was spying.
The little tiger followed immediately, following Jing Baiyu's example, and listened carefully.
Li Changsheng shook his head helplessly, and told Jing Baiyu and the little tiger to go on their own without saying anything.
Not long after, I heard Dou Yanting and Lu Qingzhou talking outside.
Dou Yanting opened his mouth again, and said: "Actually, on Mount Bai'an, it's really someone Dou's fault."
Lu Qingzhou's face was ashen, he didn't want to mention those things at all, but Dou Yanting couldn't understand the wink.It's true, Dou Yanting is a general who fights, and he doesn't have too many tricks in his heart. If he can read the eyes of others, he might not be a general Dou.
Dou Yanting continued: "At the time I passed out, I didn't know that Mr. Lu had done so many things for someone Dou. When Mr. Dou woke up and didn't see Mr. Lu, he was also very anxious, that's why he and those bandits A fight started. Mr. Dou didn't know Master Lu's plan, so...that's why I said I didn't know that I had a daughter-in-law. I didn't mean to embarrass Master Lu on purpose, I..."
"Dou Yanting!"
Lu Qingzhou really couldn't listen anymore, so he gave him a sideways glance, and said, "You're buzzing, aren't you! Shut up! Say one more word, and I'll kick you off the car Kick it down!"
"Wow--"
Jing Baiyu sighed, and said to herself naturally: "Lu Qingzhou is so strong, look at Li Changsheng, General Dou was frightened stupid!"
"Keep your voice down." Li Changsheng made a gesture of silence to Jing Baiyu, and said, "General Dou is excellent in martial arts, be careful that General Dou hears His Highness the Crown Prince's words."
"Yes, yes." Jing Baiyu quickly covered her mouth, nodded to Li Changsheng, and continued to eavesdrop secretly.
Dou Yanting was indeed overwhelmed by Lu Qingzhou's aura, so he didn't notice that someone in the car room was eavesdropping.Furthermore, Dou Yanting did not believe that His Royal Highness would eavesdrop.
Dou Yanting was at a loss for words for a long while, but at last he touched his nose angrily, and sat on the side without saying a word.
After Lu Qingzhou scolded Dou Yanting, he was really worried, for he was afraid that he would be the one who got kicked off the car.
But soon, Lu Qingzhou found that his consideration was superfluous.Dou Yanting looked like a huge dog who had just been reprimanded by his master, sitting beside him with his head slumped, looking rather pitiful.
"His Royal Highness, we are coming soon, don't eavesdrop." Li Changsheng reminded.
"I haven't heard enough." Jing Baiyu pouted.
Sure enough, Che Yu stopped after a while, and opened the curtain to see, outside was a magnificent and unique mansion.The mansion is empty, the plaque has not been hung, and there is not a single servant inside.
Jing Baiyu jumped out of the car, looked up curiously, and said, "It doesn't look like anything new, but it's a bit shabby."
Lu Qingzhou said next to him: "His Royal Highness, this mansion is not shabby, it is the mansion bestowed by the emperor, it is several times better than the mansion of the imperial servant, Taichang, Dahonglu and Dasinong! You may be envious man."
"That's it." Jing Baiyu said.
Lu Qingzhou said again: "Furthermore, this location is also very good. The street behind is extremely lively and the most prosperous. After a while, we visited Lord Li's mansion, and the minister took His Royal Highness , go for a walk there, there is something new and stubborn, I guarantee His Royal Highness will like it."
It sounds good, Li Changsheng and Lu Qingzhou are the most familiar with this way, and they can make Jing Baiyu very happy.It's just that Li Changsheng doesn't know much about Dajing yet, and the stubbornness in the capital is not as familiar as Lu Qingzhou's, so he needs to listen to Lu Qingzhou's introduction at this moment.
Jing Baiyu became interested, pulled Li Changsheng and said, "That's great, Li Changsheng, let's be stubborn there for a while, do you think it's okay?"
Li Changsheng said: "His Royal Highness is happy, of course it is good."
Jing Baiyu looked back at Lu Qingzhou again, and said, "What kind of restaurant is there over there? The prince hasn't eaten in a restaurant outside yet."
"This," Dou Yanting heard, said: "His Royal Highness, this is really dangerous. For the meal, it's better to stay in Lord Li's mansion..."
If something happens to be poisoned, I'm afraid...
"Look at what you said," Lu Qingzhou was the first to retort, "Master Li's mansion is empty, there is no one and no food, what do you ask His Royal Highness to eat? Although the wine shop outside is not as good as the dining room in the palace, But it also has a different flavor. Besides, with General Dou guarding him, His Royal Highness doesn’t need to worry about safety, does he?”
Jing Baiyu was eager to try, and was very interested in the wine shop outside, so she raised her head and glanced at Li Changsheng.
Seeing his hopeful face, Li Changsheng said, "General Dou, there is no need to worry. As long as His Highness the Crown Prince's identity is not revealed and you proceed carefully, it's just eating outside. There is no danger."
"That's good." Dou Yanting listened to Li Changsheng and opened his mouth together, but it was not easy to refute, so he nodded in agreement immediately.
When Lu Qingzhou took a look, he began to mutter again in his heart.This Dou Yanting was aiming at him, he just teased him on the road, now it's like this again!
He disagreed when he said to go to the wine shop, but when Li Changsheng said to go to the wine shop, Dou Yanting rushed to agree.
"Great!" Jing Baiyu happily pulled Li Changsheng into the mansion quickly.
This mansion is brand new, there is nothing inside, even the rockery has not been placed, every room is empty when the door is opened, it looks huge.
Jing Baiyu walked in the front, followed by the little tiger with its chest up.
Jing Baiyu pointed to the largest room in front, and said, "I like this room, keep it for me! I will live here when I leave the palace."
"His Royal Highness," Li Changsheng said with a smile, "this is the main house, and it should be the place where Changsheng lives."
Jing Baiyu pouted her lips and looked up at him, saying: "You are so stingy, you can't share half of such a big room with me?"
"Ooooooooooo!"
The little tiger yelled at the side, Jing Baiyu glanced at it, and said, "That's right, we also share half the room with the little cats. There's more..."
Jing Baiyu ran out of the room together with the little tiger again, wandered around in the garden behind, and said, "Let's build a pavilion here, it will definitely look good. Build an attic on the other side, where you can listen to operas. There is also a pavilion on the other side." ..."
Li Changsheng ran around helplessly following Jing Baiyu, only to feel that this was not his own mansion, but rather like the prince's mansion of the little prince Jing Baiyu.
After a while, Jing Baiyu was so tired from running that even the little tiger lay on the ground unwilling to move.
Li Changsheng walked over and said, "Since His Royal Highness is hungry, let's not go out, and we'll just have lunch in the mansion."
"No!" Jing Baiyu jumped up immediately, looked at Li Changsheng eagerly and said, "I'm going to the restaurant for lunch! I just agreed."
Li Changsheng was just teasing him, not really not telling Jing Baiyu to go to the wine shop. When they came out of the mansion, they were guided by Lu Qingzhou, and they walked to the street behind with ease.
The street behind here is indeed very lively, many shops are booming, and there are not just one or two wine shops.
Dou Yanting has been stationed at the border gate for many years, and it is rare for him to go back to the capital. Now that he saw this scene, he couldn't help sighing: "If one day, the border town can be as prosperous as it is, it will be the best."
He pointed to a restaurant in front of him and said: "This restaurant is clean and tidy, and there are not many people there. May I ask you, my lord, do you want to eat here?"
Jing Baiyu walked all the way, she was already dazzled, she thought about it and said: "Here..."
Lu Qingzhou came up from behind and said: "Look at Brother Dou's eyesight. This is just an ordinary restaurant, you don't see much patronage, and the food inside is not very tasty. It's not as good as the restaurant in front."
Jing Baiyu looked in the direction of Lu Qingzhou's finger, and sure enough, he saw a wine shop not far away, the facade was amazing, the two-story building was very chic, the door was crowded with people, it seemed that the business was booming, it was not like the empty restaurant in front of him.
"Wow, that side really looks good." Jing Baiyu blinked her big eyes and said.
Li Changsheng didn't care, he just listened to Jing Baiyu's command.
Everyone simply changed places and went to the restaurant recommended by Lu Qingzhou.
"Ouch! Mr. Lu San! The villain is looking forward to you! Please come in, please come in!"
They put them at the door of the restaurant, and the shopkeeper ran out with a smile on his face, as if he and Lu Qingzhou were old acquaintances.
Lu Qingzhou is a well-known rich son in the capital, who doesn't know the third son of the Lu family?The shopkeeper knew that Mr. Lu San was a rich master, so he naturally rushed to meet him.
The shopkeeper led them up to the second floor. The second floor was much cleaner than the first floor, but there were still no empty seats.There was a vacant seat by the window, which was just right for them to sit down together.
The shopkeeper has never met Li Changsheng and others, but only knows Lu Qingzhou. He smiled and flattered Lu Qingzhou the whole time, and said: "Whatever Lu Gongzi wants to eat, the villain will ask the cook to do it! By the way, Lu Gongzi, Miss Maner is here today, Mr. Lu, would you like to invite Miss Maner to play a song?"
"What Miss Man'er?" Jing Baiyu was the first to raise her face and ask.
Lu Qingzhou was tongue-tied for a moment, and hurriedly said: "No need, just serve the best dishes in your store, go quickly."
"Yes." The shopkeeper responded quickly.
That's all Lu Qingzhou said, then changed the topic with a smile, pointed to the outside and said: "Young master, the view here is very good, you can have a panoramic view of several streets on the left and right. Take a look, young master, if it looks good, After eating in a while, let's go to play."
"Okay." Jing Baiyu was also coaxing, lying on the window and looking into the distance.
"Master Lu..."
At this moment, Jing Baiyu had already forgotten Miss Man'er's complaints, how could she have expected that when Miss Man'er heard that Lu Qingzhou was here, she would take the initiative to come forward to salute.
Although Dajing is an ancient place, it is not as strict as ordinary people imagined for women.In fact, women in many dynasties in history were extremely open.Marriage and divorce are all normal.
After many women reconcile and divorce, they can remarry with children, and there is nothing wrong with it.Even among the empresses in the emperor's harem, some of them were women who were married and had children.
There is nothing to do on weekdays, and it is not uncommon for three or two ladies to go out for a stroll with their companions. Girls from poor families also go out to make a living.
And this Man'er girl must be a girl from a poor family. Due to the problem of livelihood, she often comes to this wine shop to play the piano and sing, or some rich men can give her some money.
Lu Qingzhou had been here several times before, just in time for Miss Man'er to play and sing. Seeing that she played the piano well and her background was quite poor, she gave her an extra sum of money.
When had Miss Man'er seen such a generous and generous young man, besides a handsome man, she immediately fell in love with her.
Although Jing Baiyu is still young, but after looking at it like this, she immediately understood that this Man'er girl must be Lu Qingzhou's love debt again, and this Lu Qingzhou is really...
Just as he was thinking like this, Miss Man'er came forward to salute, and when she looked up, she saw Li Changsheng sitting next to Lu Qingzhou.
This is really incredible, Miss Man'er thought to herself a few days ago, there is probably no one in this world who is younger and more handsome than Young Master Lu.However, it is very different now, this strange young man is actually more handsome than Mr Lu, with only his gentle aura, he does not know how many women's hearts he can attract.
Li Changsheng saw that Miss Man'er was looking at him, and he didn't feel much discomfort. Instead, he smiled politely at her and nodded.
Li Changsheng's smile made Miss Man'er's cheeks flush with shame, she knew she was acting abruptly, so she quickly lowered her head.
When Jing Baiyu saw it, she couldn't help curling her lips, thinking that the two people around her, whether it was Li Changsheng or Lu Qingzhou, were all deeply in debt.
When Lu Qingzhou saw Miss Man'er, she was extremely embarrassed. After all, in front of His Royal Highness, she might be misunderstood, and she might be mistaken for some prodigal son...
Miss Man'er whispered softly: "It's rare that Mr. Lu is here, so Man'er will play a song for you, okay?"
"Isn't that unnecessary?" Lu Qingzhou coughed and said, "Our young master doesn't need drums to eat."
Jing Baiyu said in an adult-like manner, "It's nothing to play a piece of music."
"This..." Lu Qingzhou suddenly didn't know what to say.
Li Changsheng whispered to Jing Baiyu, "Don't bully Lu Zhan again."
Jing Baiyu looked at him innocently, and said: "I just want to listen to the piano music while eating, can't that work?"
Jing Baiyu had already spoken, and Lu Qingzhou couldn't say no, so he bit the bullet and asked Miss Man'er to play.
Jing Baiyu listened with her chin resting on her cheeks, and suddenly turned her head to Dou Yanting, who had been silent for a while, and said, "Is this music good?"
Dou Yanting was embarrassed and said: "Du is a rough person, really... I really don't understand it."
Jing Baiyu nodded, and said again: "Then this girl is prettier than your daughter-in-law?"
"What... what?" Dou Yanting was taken aback.
Lu Qingzhou next to him was already in a hot sweat, but after hearing what Jing Baiyu said, he was actually in a cold sweat.
Dou Yanting's daughter-in-law, isn't that referring to Lu Qingzhou?
Dou Yanting is a stubborn person. Hearing Jing Baiyu's question, he couldn't help but recall Lu Qingzhou's appearance in women's clothing.Lu Qingzhou has red lips and white teeth. He usually looks like a handsome young man, but he looks a little taller in women's clothing, which is not at all inconsistent.really……
She really is a little bit prettier than the Maner girl in front of her...
"Look, nephew."
Seeing that Dou Yanting and Lu Qingzhou had different expressions, Li Changsheng couldn't help but shook his head, raised his finger and pointed to the outside of the restaurant, and said, "There is a shop over there, it looks really strange."
"Bah, bah, who is your nephew, why can't you take advantage of it?" Jing Baiyu was instantly attracted by Li Changsheng's attention.
Li Changsheng looked at him sideways with a smile, and said, "Didn't you learn this from your good nephew? It's not enough for a good nephew to take advantage of it."
"Who said that?" Jing Baiyu refused to admit it, leaned on the window and looked down, and saw the shop Li Changsheng was pointing at, and said, "It's really strange."
Just look at the shops not far across the street, one of the doors is closed, as if it has not been opened, but there are already many men and women lined up in front of the door.The other shops next to it were in stark contrast with that shop, and they looked deserted.
Jing Baiyu wondered: "What time is it? Why hasn't the shop opened yet? Have they stopped doing business? And why is there a long line in front of the door? What is it for? It's so strange."
Jing Baiyu didn't go out of the palace very often, and neither did Li Changsheng, so he didn't know what was going on and couldn't answer Jing Baiyu.
On the other hand, Dou Yanting asked three questions, and even Lu Qingzhou had no clue.
"Back to the young master," Miss Man'er said with great insight after playing the song, "It's a incense powder shop, it only opens at noon, and it must close before sunset. The number of things sold in a day Not much. If you want to buy incense powder from his shop, you have to wait in line early, otherwise you will be empty."
"Huh?" Jing Baiyu opened her eyes wide and said, "There is such a thing? This is the first time I've heard of it."
Li Changsheng was not surprised when he heard this. This is not much different from modern Internet celebrity restaurants, they are all very popular.It's just that Li Changsheng never imagined that such an "online celebrity shop" existed in ancient times.
"Selling incense powder?" Dou Yanting really couldn't understand, and said, "Selling so well?"
Jing Baiyu looked at Dou Yanting with a smile, and said: "Maybe it's the best incense powder, why don't you also go to the queue and buy some for your wife, maybe he will be very happy!"
Jing Baiyu is in a good mood today, so she took the time to tease Lu Qingzhou and Dou Yanting.
When Lu Qingzhou heard this, he quickly lowered his head, as if they were not talking about himself.
Dou Yanting smiled, and said quite honestly: "This... I think he might not like incense powder."
Jing Baiyu became interested and asked, "Then what do you think he likes?"
Dou Yanting showed a embarrassed expression, as if he couldn't think of it for a moment, and then said: "Gold and silver land deed?"
Lu Qingzhou had made up his mind and planned to say nothing more.Who would have thought that Dou Yanting seemed honest, but in fact he was extremely irritating.
Lu Qingzhou didn't hold back, and almost jumped up and said: "Bah! I am that vulgar person? Who said I like gold and silver land deeds? You don't want to be vulgar, just think that others are like you!"
He spoke quickly, but immediately regretted it after saying it.
Sure enough, the girl next to her was dumbfounded.This Young Master Dou is clearly talking about his wife, why does Third Young Master Lu retort so excitedly?
So strange...
Jing Baiyu was already laughing so hard that Li Changsheng was really afraid that he would accidentally fall out of the window, so he quickly reached out and hugged him.
Jing Baiyu quit, and said: "What are you doing, I still want to see. Look, look, the powder shop over there is open! Someone has come out!"
Li Changsheng took a look, the shop on the opposite side of the building was indeed opened, and a few employees came out of it.
Everyone was sitting on the second floor of the restaurant, and for a while they could clearly hear the guy talking.
A job greeted everyone, saying: "Everyone, don't be crowded! A new style of condensed dough has come to this small shop today! I guarantee that all young ladies will like it! The quantity is not much, but it is the favorite of Qin Meiren in the palace recently. You might as well buy it back and try it out! I promise you won’t suffer any losses!”
Jing Baiyu blinked and asked, "Who is Miss Qin?"
Li Changsheng couldn't remember it for a while, and said, "This..."
The gelatinous dough sold in the shop downstairs is the cleansing and make-up remover used in modern daily life. Many face powder shops also sell them, just like the face powder shop diagonally across the street, they sell no less than a dozen kinds of gelatin powder , but if you want to talk about which incense powder shop in the capital is the most prosperous, it is naturally the one in front of you.
"What kind of agglomerate is this? I haven't heard of it. Why don't we buy a few?" Jing Baiyu asked curiously.
Li Changsheng smiled and said, "If nephew wants it, uncle will ask someone to buy it."
When Jing Baiyu heard this, she turned her head and glared at him, saying: "No more! Maybe it's a lie, who knows if it's Qin Meiren's favorite condensate."
"Young Master, you don't know something." The Man'er girl said next to her, "The things sold in this incense powder shop are never fake, but authentic! I have bought from this shop several times, and everything is authentic. It's the best, it's indeed the favorite of the ladies in the harem."
"Really? So amazing?" Jing Baiyu said.
Miss Man'er obviously liked the incense powder shop downstairs very much, and said: "It's true, I heard that the well-known servant in the palace, Mrs. Li Changsheng, entrusted someone to open a shop outside!"
"Li Changsheng!"
Jing Baiyu was startled, and couldn't help but glance at Li Changsheng next to him.
Li Changsheng smiled, not too surprised, as if the Man'er girl was not talking about him.
Miss Man'er didn't know that the Li Changsheng she was talking about was in front of her eyes, and she continued to say: "Master Li, do you know this young master? That is a legendary figure! I heard that the empress in the palace, whether it is the queen or The queen mother admires him quite a lot. Do you know why?"
Miss Man'er didn't give Jing Baiyu a chance to guess, and said with a smile: "It's because of Mr. Li's ingenuity! I heard that he has his own method for these incense powders, and he can often create new ones. Ladies love incense powder, so Mr. Li is naturally quite favored and trusted! And the shop opposite has Mr. Li's share, do you think the things in this shop will not be easy to use?"
Master Li opened a shop, but Li Changsheng didn't know...
"I heard it..." Li Changsheng said calmly, "I'm quite interested."
Lu Qingzhou and Dou Yanting were also surprised, they all looked downstairs, thinking in their hearts, it's really a coincidence that they went out of the palace today, and they encountered such a thing.
"Come and see!"
"Come here and have a look!"
"This shop sells the balm 'Flower Before Moonlight' that Mr. Li personally mixes!"
"It's only available today!"
"It's useless to miss it!"
There was a burst of shouting downstairs, and the crowd in line also boiled up.
I could vaguely hear someone say: "Quickly, bring me a balm."
"Give it to me first, I want ten copies!"
"Oh, Master Li personally made it, it must be a good thing, you have to stock up on some."
"Exactly."
Jing Baiyu poked her head up to look, and felt unhappy. Some people used Li Changsheng's name to swindle and cheat, but so many people believed it!It's a mess.
Jing Baiyu was not happy at the moment, so she simply jumped up, put her hands up, and sat on the eaves of the window on the second floor of the restaurant.
This startled Li Changsheng, others didn't know, and thought that Jing Baiyu was going to commit suicide by jumping off a building, so he quickly grabbed Jing Baiyu and said, "Be careful."
Jing Baiyu didn't have time to talk to him, so she breathed a sigh of relief and shouted downstairs: "Liar! Big liar!"
"Young master, this is..."
Miss Man'er was taken aback and hurriedly dissuaded her.
Lu Qingzhou and Dou Yanting were also a little at a loss, they all looked at Li Changsheng who was on the side.At this time, it is better to invite Li Changsheng, Lord Li, to restrain His Highness the Crown Prince.
Jing Baiyu yelled, although there was a lot of noise below, many people heard the sound and immediately looked up.
Jing Baiyu was watched by everyone, without the slightest sign of timidity, and shouted: "They are big liars! Don't be fooled! The powder and dough in this store are not made by Li Changsheng, and they have nothing to do with Li Changsheng. It has nothing to do with it! Maybe it's not something that the empress in the palace likes! They are big liars, don't let them be tricked into their hands!"
Jing Baiyu yelled a lot in one breath, until he coughed, wishing his voice would become hoarse.
Li Changsheng pulled him to prevent Jing Baiyu from falling, and said helplessly, "You come down first, but are you going to die uncle?"
"What time is it, and you're still joking." Jing Baiyu turned to stare at him, and said, "Someone is bluffing over there! I hate liars the most."
Li Changsheng had no choice but to say: "Yes, yes, why don't you come down first, and then we can expose their deception?"
"Really?" Jing Baiyu looked at him uncertainly, and said, "You don't want to lie to me."
Li Changsheng said with a smile: "Of course not. My good nephew will stop talking. I hate liars the most. How could uncle trick you?"
Jing Baiyu snorted, jumped off the window eaves, and was caught by Li Changsheng like a small cannonball.
"Is this going to..." Lu Qingzhou asked suspiciously.
Li Changsheng said: "It's rare to come across such interesting things when I come out. I'll take my nephew down for a while. You can continue to eat and don't worry about us."
"Let's go along." Lu Qingzhou hurriedly said.
His Royal Highness went to "crack down on counterfeiting", Lu Qingzhou dared not ask His Royal Highness and Li Changsheng to go, for fear of any danger.
Lu Qingzhou hurriedly pulled up Dou Yanting who was next to him, and said, "What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and protect the young master. If anything happens, you are the only one to ask!"
"Okay." Dou Yanting agreed without hesitation, and said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen if I'm here."
Seeing the situation, Man'er hurried to stop Lu Qingzhou, saying: "Young master Lu, don't go, you don't know that the shopkeeper of the incense powder shop downstairs has a lot of background, if you offend them, it will definitely not be good. For food, don’t go into the muddy water.”
Dou Yanting had already chased Li Changsheng and Jing Baiyu away, Lu Qingzhou became anxious when he saw it, and said: "Thank you for reminding me, miss."
After he said that, he hurriedly pulled away and left without staying for half a minute.
On the other side, Li Changsheng carried Jing Baiyu out of the restaurant, and was immediately surrounded by guys from the face powder shop, a rough count showed that there were twelve or thirteen guys.
These guys are all tall and burly, and they are more like thug guards than they are guys. It seems that they are not ordinary.
Suddenly someone shouted that the incense powder shop is deceiving people. There were originally many people queuing up, but now there were even more onlookers, and the street was almost crowded.
The shopkeeper's greeting staff surrounded them, and said to the people around him: "Don't be in a daze, someone is looking for something, you should hurry up and ask the young master to come over."
"Yes!" The guy responded and trotted away.
Jing Baiyu is the crown prince, and he has seen the world, so he is not afraid of these ten or so fellows, and said: "What's the matter? Are you going to beat someone after being exposed by me in person? This is the imperial city, I'm afraid there is no It's the king's law!"
What Jing Baiyu said is right, this is the capital city, even if the powder shop has a background, it is not easy to do it in broad daylight.
The shopkeeper came out and said with a smile: "You can't say that. We do business in a proper manner, but you came out to find trouble, and now you talk as if we bullied you. This is called Wang Fa. !"
"It's you who lied!" Jing Baiyu said.
"We cheated?" The shopkeeper sneered and said, "How do we cheat? You are a half-grown baby, what can you know? Today I will teach you a lesson for your father!"
As the shopkeeper said, he showed his arms and rolled up his sleeves, striding forward, as if he wanted to catch Jing Baiyu a lesson.
Jing Baiyu took a look and immediately hid behind Li Changsheng.
Li Changsheng just stood there without moving, but someone quickly stepped forward, stopped the shopkeeper outside, and said, "Don't be rude!"
Naturally, Li Changsheng didn't need to do anything, there was Dou Yanting here, but there were only a dozen thugs, they were not regular soldiers, and they didn't have any weapons, so they were not their opponents.
Li Changsheng smiled all over his face and looked extremely gentle. He put his arms around Jing Baiyu who was hiding behind him, and said: "Although my nephew is young, everyone knows this kid. He has the purest nature, and he doesn't look like an adult." So good at lying. Isn't it?"
"Hey, the things sold in this store are not real or fake?"
"No, I bought a lot."
As soon as Li Changsheng said it, someone beside him began to murmur, and they began to discuss in low voices.
The shopkeeper took a look, stared and said, "You say the things in our shop are fake, do you have evidence?"
Li Changsheng seemed to be waiting for his words. He pointed his hand and said, "I just heard something from the side. You said that this incense powder is made of sandalwood, patchouli, and cedar branches?"
"Exactly!" The shopkeeper said proudly with his chest straightened out, "This incense powder is also made from a secret recipe in the palace, and it is His Royal Highness's favorite incense powder today."
"I..." Jing Baiyu stared angrily, when had he ever smelled such a smell?
Li Changsheng nodded and said, "It's good that the shopkeeper admits it."
The shopkeeper was a little dazed, and said, "What's so good about it?"
"It seems that the shopkeeper doesn't know anything about incense powder." Li Changsheng said: "I smelled this incense powder from a distance. There should be no patchouli in it, but it smells of white ginger. Although patchouli and white ginger They all smell spicy, but patchouli has a slightly bitter taste, which is quite different from white ginger. Does the shopkeeper not understand this point?"
"What?" The shopkeeper looked even more confused, he really didn't know anything about white ginger and patchouli.
Li Changsheng said again: "It's better to find a few perfumers, so everyone will know if what I'm saying is true or not."
The shopkeeper's eyeballs rolled, and he quickly changed his words, saying: "I just slipped my tongue and said something wrong. The powder is indeed white ginger, not patchouli."
"Oh."
Li Changsheng agreed insincerely, with a smile that didn't reach his eyes, and said: "This time, the shopkeeper is probably wrong again."
"What?!" The shopkeeper almost jumped up in fright, not knowing what he said wrong again.
Jing Baiyu was also confused, but Lu Qingzhou beside him gave a light laugh.
Dou Yanting asked: "What is Mr. Lu laughing at?"
Lu Qingzhou said: "A vulgar person like you can't smell it. In this incense powder, there is neither patchouli nor white ginger. It should be mother ginger, commonly known as old ginger."
"This..." Dou Yanting said puzzled, "What's the difference?"
Lu Qingzhou said: "Let's just say you are a rough person. This mother ginger smells stronger, so it is naturally different."
Sure enough, he heard Li Changsheng speak, which was exactly the same as what Lu Qingzhou said.
The shopkeeper suddenly thumped in his heart, it turned out that he had fallen into the trap because of his carelessness!
Li Changsheng deliberately deceived him just now, just to prevent the shopkeeper from changing his words temporarily and denying it.
Now that the shopkeeper lived up to expectations, he really changed his words temporarily, so it became a public slap in the face.
Li Changsheng didn't need to say anything more, the crowd beside him was already boiling.
"fake!"
"Oh, I bought a lot! They are all fake!"
"This shop is a lie!"
"This is too bad! Wicked!"
The shopkeeper was dumbfounded, and hurriedly shouted: "Everyone, please be safe and don't be impatient, please be safe and don't be impatient!"
"I don't want this thing anymore!"
"Give us back the money!"
"I won't be shopping here anymore."
The shopkeeper yelled for a long time, his voice became hoarse, but no one answered him, instead a large group of people clamored to refund the silver.
When Jing Baiyu saw it, he immediately became happy, and said to Li Changsheng: "You still have the ability!"
"It's nothing," Li Changsheng said flatly, "It's just that the shopkeeper is too amateur."
"The son is here, the son is here!"
"Get out of the way!"
Just at this moment, there was a commotion outside, and it seemed that there were servants and tall horses, more than ten people came
