Chengenhou himself knows his family affairs, so it is already very good to be a stable Chengenhou. As for the rest, don’t think about it, and you don’t have that much ability.

His own sister was the empress dowager of the current dynasty and his nephew was the emperor, so he had nothing to be satisfied with.

Chengenhou is a kind old man. He walked through this street specifically. After the people who knew him called him, he nodded happily at others.

The Interior Affairs Office manages all the miscellaneous items in the palace and the prices of some goods on the market. Cheng Enhou felt that he should also take a look, so as not to make people feel that the goods in the Interior Affairs Office are too high, and it seems that he has gained some benefits from it.

Sometimes when you see good goods and confirm that there are no safety hazards, Cheng Enhou will ask someone to order and send them to the palace.

Some smart businessmen became more and more polite to Chengenhou after they knew about this. Some people even waited on the roadside to see if they could please Chengenhou and take their own goods into consideration.

Being able to send to the palace means not only money, but also decent. Even if it is not often, if you send to the palace once, you can brag for a lifetime after you come back. This is also a famous thing for merchants. They have even done business in the palace, let alone other people's businesses.

It can be seen that it is extremely safe to do business with him.

Therefore, Chengenhou was warmly greeted by many shop owners along the way.

Chengenhou was in a good mood today. He walked leisurely all the way, saying hello to people from time to time, and going into the store to check the goods. But he had never encountered anything that suited him, so he just walked by.

"Mr. Marquis, today we have a few new fine items. Should I take a look?" When I passed an antique shop, the shopkeeper was waiting at the door early, and when he saw Chengen Hou, he greeted him from afar.

This is Cheng'enhou's favorite store in the past. He will inevitably come in when he walks here on weekdays. He is also familiar with the shopkeeper here.

He walked into the store and asked, "What are the finest products?"

"You will know after seeing it." The shopkeeper said with a smile, leading Chengen Hou into the walk.

When I sat down in the room where the distinguished guests, my friend had already brought tea. Cheng Enhou took a sip and praised repeatedly: "This tea is good!"

"Mr. Marquis is really polite. Who doesn't know that most of the teas the Marquis drinks are rewarded from the palace. What I drink here is just some ordinary tea leaves, but just for freshness." The shopkeeper said politely with a smile.

"Your tea is not just new, right?" Cheng Enhou took another sip, tasted it for a while.

Spring tea has been on the market, and a batch of new tea has been sent in the palace early, but he felt that the tea in front of him was not as delicious as before, so Chengenhou was also surprised.

"Mr. Marquis is so amazing. Even such a delicate tea flavor has been tasted. In fact, this tea is not sold outside. It is planted in my hometown. There are only a few tea trees. I planted it carefully at home. I have been waiting for it. I invited a girl from 28 to pick it before the dew. I asked an old craftsman to cook it on the spot. Although the quantity is not large, I have also spent a lot of effort. If Marquis likes it, I can give you one pound here. If there is too much, it will be gone!"

The old shopkeeper and Cheng Enhou are also familiar with each other, so they don’t care so much about their words.

"Okay, then I'll thank the shopkeeper!" Cheng Enhou thanked with a smile. He really thought this tasted good, and it was even better than what was given in the palace.

Just that

It is someone else's private goods, and the quantity is not large. Even if you want to supply them to the palace, it will not be enough. Then something happens.

At least the quantity of goods supplied to the palace should be included. Otherwise, if the empress from the palace has drunk it well and wants to drink it again, it is better not to have it directly. Besides, there is the emperor. If the emperor likes it, it is possible to lose his head if it doesn’t.

It is not entirely true that it is said that the tributes in the palace are the best.

When the shopkeeper saw that Cheng Enhou took the tea, he patted it twice. The two guys waiting at the door took a few brocade boxes and a few scrolls of paintings.

The brocade boxes are opened one by one, and the scroll is placed aside.

The shopkeeper stood up, pointed at Chengenhou with a smile and said, "Mr. Marquis, how about this jade pendant?"

It is not ordinary jade, it is blood-red blood jade, crystal clear all over, without any flaws. Looking at the bright red eyes, you can tell that it is not ordinary beautiful jade at first glance.

Cheng Enhou stood up, picked up the jade pendant and nodded while looking: "No, good, very good, it's a good thing."

I picked it up and looked at the sunshine in the window again, and it was indeed very transparent and exquisite.

"Mr. Marquis looked at this again." The shopkeeper smiled and pointed to another brocade box. The brocade box was a piece of ruby, a complete piece. It was just a little cut, and it was still a complete whole. It was difficult to see such a gem on the market. When he saw the quality, Chengen Hou was amazed again.

The third brocade box is a red piece that can't explain what it is, like a mushroom, but it's not.

"What is this?" Chenghou's Mansion said curiously and reached out to get it.

"Mr. Marquis, please wait. This is not what I did!" The shopkeeper reached out and stopped him, and then carefully carried the brocade box in front of Chengenhou, "Mr. Marquis, you smell it!"

"This is...blood [      Updated Fast] Ganoderma lucidum?" Chengen Hou sniffed his nose, and a light fragrance of medicine entered his nose, which immediately made people's expression clear and his eyes lit up immediately.

The shopkeeper gave a thumbs up, "Mr. Marquis has such a good eye. Isn't this just blood Ganoderma lucidum? Although it's not big, it's not a small age."

"Okay, okay!" Chengenhou praised repeatedly.

"The Marquis comes to see these calligraphy and paintings, but the ones that the Marquis like are definitely the original works, and they are all appreciated by people. There is no need to doubt the authenticity of the Marquis."

The shopkeeper walked to the front of a few more scrolls, reached out and picked up a roll and took it apart, and spread it flat on the table.

Chengenhou walked over and nodded while looking. He had no experience in the court and had great ideas about calligraphy and painting. The method in front of him was indeed good.

After reading one volume, I read the next volume. These volumes are very good. Although they are not as good as the previous three things, they are also good products and will never be seen on the market on weekdays.

After watching it, Chengenhou said, "Shopkeeper, I want all these things. You can make a cheaper one for me, otherwise I will really lose everything."

"The Marquis is joking. The Marquis' wealth, let alone these small things, even if I want to take the store, the Marquis will do the same thing and will not hurt the bones at all." The business was completed, and the shopkeeper was in a good mood. He flattered Cheng'en Hou and asked the clerk to take Cheng'en Hou's servant to check the bill.

"The Queen Mother's Birthday, I always want to find a few different things to give to the Queen Mother. I have indeed bought it more recently." Cheng'en Hou said.

These things were found by him specifically asking the shopkeeper to find them, but they didn't actually look for them.

It's just these things, but it's already very good to get these right now.

"The Marquis is crying for a small business like us, how can we live? Since the Marquis said that, we will only bleed once today. How about the Marquis giving the Marquis a 10% discount?" The shopkeeper looked sore.

"Okay, okay, I thank the shopkeeper here!" Chengenhou laughed.

This store has a good reputation. In the past, it was basically not discounted. No matter how much you buy, it was not discounted. Now it is true that it is only 10% off for Cheng Enhou’s sake.

The few things just now were of great value, and after winning this, they also won a lot of silver.

"Justice Marquis just come to our store more in the future." The shopkeeper said happily.

While the two of them were talking, the guy and the servant had already calculated the silver. Chengenhou asked the guy to follow his servant to go back to find Mrs. Chengenhou to get the silver notes first, and he planned to continue to go around.

I had just walked out of the door and suddenly saw a guy chasing him.

"Mr. Marquis, our shopkeeper said there is another scroll of painting. Do you want to take a look?" The guy was a little jealous and was wearing the clothes of the shopkeeper just now, and he caught up from behind. Chengenhou felt that the shopkeeper just now must have discovered something suitable.

Turn around and walk back.

"The Marquis doesn't have to leave, just take a look here. If you don't like it, let the shopkeeper take the little one back, so as not to let the marquis go again." The man said cleverly, and pointed to the store not far away. "Our shopkeeper said that if the marquis like it, let the little one take the marquis back to the mansion first. If the marquis is settled later, is it still afraid that the marquis will not be able to pay the bill!"

The guy saw that he was talking, and after he smiled and said in one breath, he nodded repeatedly by Cheng Enhou and looked back at the store door not far away. Although it was not far away, it was a problem to walk back. There was no need to go to a painting. With the relationship between the shopkeeper and himself, of course he was not afraid of being stolen.

It’s just a matter of painting, so there is no need to go back. Cheng Enhou nodded, took the scroll and opened it, and waited until it opened, and saw the painting in front of him, and his eyes lit up immediately.

The maple leaves are the base, and it is the scroll he imagined. He had asked the painters in the palace to paint the same type of painting before, but they were always unsatisfactory.

The Empress Dowager gave birth to two sons and raised one son. In his name, there were three sons. In order to express the Empress Dowager's mother-son relationship, he wanted to paint a mother and three princes.

This is exactly the same painting in front of me, almost perfectly painted according to Cheng Enhou’s heart.

The woman in the painting looked kind and was feeding a child medicine. The child looked the oldest, and there was another child who leaned against the woman in a venerable manner, watching the brother on the bed drinking medicine, her eyes were full of color, and the youngest one was holding a ball next to her and playing with it. She turned her head cutely and looked at her mother and two brothers.

The paintings are very appropriate and the artistic conception is even more perfect. The best one is the maple leaf on it, which is a scroll drawn with maple leaf base. Most of them are made of maple leaves. Even women's clothes, skirts, children's jackets, and quilts on the bed are made of maple leaves, and only a few strokes of ink are added to the blank space.
