8days ago Historical fiction 7
The scribe sent by Mu's mansion once said his name, was he a teacher or a professor?But Zhu Gaoxu was very confused before coming and forgot about it.The literati just said it, and Zhu Gaoxu was embarrassed to ask again.

Wen Shi said: Not only are the collections of rare things in Mu Mansion. In Yunnan, there are some Shen Xu family in Mu Mansion, and there are also Shen Xu family in Mu Mansion that do not have them.

And such people? Who is Chen Xu? Zhu Gaoxu said a little surprised.

For some reason, when the officials mentioned this person, they looked very excited and were talking about it below. Another voice said: Your Highness, the King of Han, didn’t know about Chen Xu?

Zhu Gaoxu thought to himself: I have just arrived a few days ago. Isn’t it normal for people from Yunnan?

The scholar said to you: When you reply to your highness, Chen Xu's granddaughter Chen Wansan's granddaughter and Xu Fu's ninth granddaughter.

When it was mentioned that it was Chen Wansan, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly realized that the legendary capital of the Ming Dynasty, Nanjing and half of the city were built by Chen Wansan. He thought it was just a story, but he didn't expect there was such a person.

oh.Zhu Gaoxu made a sound.

At this time, Wang Zuo, the No. 1 Shunchang, looked at the scholar and said: I heard that the Marquis of Xiping and Chen Xu have something to do. Go back and invite the Marquis of Xiping and Shen Xu to say, isn’t her family’s belonging to the Mu family?

The scribe hurriedly said: General Wang doesn’t dare to say that! Chen Xu is a woman from another family and cannot be tainted by others...

Suddenly, in the front hall, hahaha... I burst into laughter. Some military officers didn't care about etiquette and even burst into tears.

Zhu Gaoxu had no idea what the joke was about this sentence, only he was stunned, without a smile on his face.

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly suppressed their laughter. After a while, the laughter finally got held back by people.

Someone said: The prince forgives his crime because this official talks about Qing'er's innocence with Chen Xu's family. The generals couldn't help it and were rude.

It's okay, I don't have any rules to not allow others to laugh.Zhu Gaoxu said.

At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu was a little curious, but suddenly no one continued to mention this matter... Or because the matter was not serious enough, everyone came to pay homage to the King of Han on the first day, and they all felt that such a topic was not a good place to be a good place?

Zhu Gaoxu didn't want to ask more questions. He just needed to know that there was such a person's name and that there were many rare treasures in her family. He didn't care much about other things.

After meeting the local officials, Zhu Gaoxu quickly left the front hall.Other matters are handled by the officials of the Chief Secretary of the Royal Palace.

...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, "Report to the prince, I have taken people to inquire separately. I learned from a medicinal material dealer that there is indeed a thousand-year-old Korean ginseng in Yunnan, and it is a pair!" It was bought by Chen Xu's family a few years ago.

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he thought that the scholar from the Mu Mansion Sect did not imprison him, and Chen Xu's financial resources were indeed very strong.

He asked immediately: You have asked clearly, where is the mansion of Chen Xu and who is in charge of his family?

Wang Gui nodded and said: I have already inquired about it everywhere. Chen Mansion is west of Caihaizi (Cuihu). It is said that the Shen family has withered, and only the great-granddaughter of Chen Xu and Shen Wansan is left. Chen Xiaoniang is underage, and it may be that Chen Xu is the leader...

It must be her mother who has the final say.Zhu Gaoxu responded casually.

Wang Gui hurriedly said: The prince forgives his crime. In a hurry, I failed to find out who the head of the family is, not necessarily the Chen Xu family! I heard that Chen Xu is Mrs. Chen Hui Xuxian, and Chen Xiaoniang is not her biological child.

I see.Zhu Gaoxu nodded.

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

Prince, the richest man from the end of the Yuan Dynasty to the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, was Shen Wansan, and at that time, the Shen family was rich enough to rival the country! His son Shen Mao came to Yunnan and gave birth to a boy and a girl. His son was Chen Hui; Chen Hui gave birth to his only daughter, Chen Baoyan, is the current Shen family girl.

Later, Chen Hui's original wife passed away. Soon, Chen Hui returned to the granddaughter of Xu Fujiu, a native of Xiangyang, was the Chen Xu family mentioned by Eunuch Wang. She also has a name, very famous in Yunnan Prefecture, named Xu Manshu.

The focus of Wang Gui’s discussion was on Korean ginseng just now, but Hou Hai was very interested in gossip, so after Hou Hai said something, he made the relationship between the Shen family clear.

Hou Hai said: Chen Hui was in poor health since childhood and died of illness after giving birth to a daughter. Chen Xu is now a widow... and a slut who can do his best!

Hou Hai was always very capable when he asked about other people's affairs, and said: Everyone in the city, from the age of seventy to the teenagers, knew Chen Xu's family. Some people say that she slept all men in Yunnan Prefecture, so she became famous!

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned after hearing this.

Hou Hai continued: Some people say that she is the reincarnation of a vixen, charming and confusing people, only harming the boy and replenishing qi with yang and replenishing qi. Her face is as 28 years old. Some people also say that she likes men with low status who do heavy work the most, such as grooms, gardeners, servants, and beggars who come to beg for food, 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. Chen Xu only sold herself to powerful people, so no one dared to bully them.

Hou Hai lowered his voice at this time and said in a low voice that one of Hou Musheng's beloved in Xiping was Chen Xu! Chen Xu's family hooked up with Mu's mansion. Who dared to touch her in Yunnan Mansion? The officials thought that all kinds of vixen were false legends, but this woman was very debauchery and beautiful, so she must be right; otherwise, even if a widow had some right and wrong, she would not be well-known to everyone.

It makes sense.Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said, the most important question now is: she has thousands of years of Korean ginseng in her hand, and it is very likely that only she has it in her hand.Regardless of whether Doctor Chen is reliable or not, I can only try it now.How much is a thousand-year-old Korean ginseng worth?

Wang Gui pondered: It depends on the weight. Real gold hard goods are always going to be fine for four or five hundred taels? Such rare things are hard to come by, and the seller is unwilling to sell them or raise prices... Fortunately, the prince is very handsome and has a reputation for reporting your name, so Chen Xu should not dare not refuse to follow.

Hou Hai bowed and said: Xiaguan, come to the door with the prince’s famous post to ask?

Slow down!Zhu Gaoxu raised his hand and said.

Zhu Gaoxu also led his troops to fight for several years, and he understood the art of war. As the saying goes, knowing oneself and his enemy will never be defeated!

He was considering more things than the two people in front of him. Not only did he deal with Chen Xu's family, but he might also involve Mu's mansion...

After all, there is rumors that Chen Xu and Mu Sheng have a hookup. Regardless of whether it is true or false, Zhu Gaoxu doesn't understand the situation now. It is not a bad thing to be a little stable for the time being.

Moreover, Chen Xu's family is indeed very likely to have a close relationship with the Mu Mansion... Zhu Gaoxu doesn't know much about Yunnan Mansion, but he did his homework about Mu Sheng's situation.

Mu Sheng has a villa in Caihaizi and a Liuying, where war horses are raised. Since Chen Mansion is on Caihaizi, it is close to making friends.

If you only send you there, it would be too contemptuous, and Chen Xu's family would be difficult to tell the truth about the false for a while, and it would take time to do it. Zhu Gaoxu said, "If I go with the ceremonial guard, I will bully others with my power and will not give Mu Sheng a favor."

Zhu Gaoxu simply slapped the armrest of the chair with a palm. He followed the light car and changed my clothes and went there in person. He took the thousand-year-old Korean ginseng back as medicine earlier.Wang Gui, prepare a treasure box worth 500 taels of gold, gold, silver, copper, jade, and pearls, don’t take Daming treasure banknotes to show sincerity.

I obey the order!Wang Gui said to him.

Zhu Gaoxu got up and went to change his clothes.

He only cares about the thousand-year-old Korean ginseng, but although Chen Xu's family is famous, Zhu Gaoxu is not very interested in her. Is it that a little bit of vermilion that thousands of people tasted, no matter how beautiful it is, is it that strange?

After getting ready, Zhu Gaoxu took a carriage out of the palace, with only a dozen people around him.

In addition to Wang Gui and Hou Hai, there were about a dozen men including Chen Dachui and Zhao Ping, all wearing green cloth clothes, with buns and no hats, and dressed as if they were servants.

Wang Gui drove the carriage himself. Zhu Gaoxu, who was sitting in the carriage, was wearing a lilac satin round-neck robe and a light gray net scarf on his head.

It is neither a fooling dragon robe and uniform, but it also seems relatively rich. 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 a car curtain and looked back at his palace... He was used to seeing Guangsha in the capital, and he looked at the Han Palace very ordinary again, but it was indeed much larger than the Beiping County Palace.

The Han Palace is located south of Yunnan Prefecture City and is basically built according to the system of the Prince's Mansion, and there are not many signs of magnificence.

The father promised to build you a big and good prince's mansion, which should be just a talk.

...The group walked north and came to the south of Caihaizi, which was also within Yunnan Prefecture City; but this place seemed to be relatively remote, and there were many crops and vegetables planted on the land on the lakeside and in the middle of the lake, just like when they were in the suburbs.

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

Prince, we are here.Hou Hai's voice said.

After the carriage stopped, Zhu Gaoxu got out of the car and looked around.In front of me is a very ordinary gatehouse, with high walls on both sides. Inside the walls, you can only see some hanging roofs on the top of the mountain.

There is a plaque on the doorman: Chen Mansion.

Just looking at the scale, this mansion is indeed very large, but it looks very ordinary. The stone steps at the door are green, and weeds emerge from the cracks of the rocks, even a bit of a desolate feeling.

Zhu Gaoxu 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 he saw a group of slaves and women walking to the door in two teams and standing on both sides.

He couldn't help but be a little surprised. Opening the door was a gift from the host to welcome the distinguished guests. It turned out that before he came to visit, Chen Xu had already known that the King of Han was coming and prepared in advance?

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly felt that in Yunnan Prefecture City, the Chen Xu family might have a little idea.

Several servants carried a long blanket and layed along the gate to the carriage.Seeing this scene, Zhu Gaoxu was stunned: Damn, I went to the Prince's Mansion in a dress that day, and I didn't pay so much attention to Ah!
