When war broke out in Anping Prefecture, three little barking donkeys walked happily along the galloping road, stepping on the apricot petals falling all over the ground, and arrived at a water gate in the northeast corner of Haojing.
"Wow!"
On the back of the little braying donkey, two young girls with bright eyes, white teeth, and lovely faces stared dumbfoundedly at the cargo and passenger ships as huge as hills on the spacious canal outside the water gate.
There was a lot of noise everywhere.
There are powerful people trying to get business.
There was a hawker shouting loudly.
There were passengers on the boat, and the merchants were shouting something towards the shore.
There are also small boats as nimble as silver carps, with red flags hanging on them and the word "tax" written in the middle. They nimbly shuttle between the huge cargo ships. From time to time, they will lean against a certain cargo ship and shout a few words with the cargo owner.
.
On the pier next to the water gate, there was a lot of traffic, and men and women of all kinds, old and young, were running back and forth, their clothes were like clouds, and they were sweating like rain, which was dazzling.
The air is filled with the aromas of stinky tofu, snail noodles, bean juice, and barbecue skewers.
Not far away, a cargo carriage overturned, dozens of huge wine jars were smashed to pieces, and a strong aroma of wine filled the air. The owner of the cargo jumped to his feet and pointed at several sad-looking workers.
Swearing.
"Sister, sister, this is the capital of the world, Hogyeongye. It is really prosperous!" The two girls looked to the left with their left eyes, and couldn't help but look to the right with their right eyes. From time to time, they had to look forward and back.
, after a short while, the eyes of both of them were almost cramping.
On another little braying donkey, a beautiful girl who was one or two years older than the two girls and slightly more sophisticated also stared with disbelief at the people, cars, and boats coming and going in front of her.
"Ah, it's really, really... we have seen more living people in this short time than we have seen in the past ten years." The older girl let out a heavy breath: "How could this happen in this world?
There are so many people? It’s incredible!”
Seeing the childish looks of the three girls and hearing their childish words, several men who were bumping into each other in the crowd started laughing.
With malicious smiles, they quickly approached the three girls, bowed to them diligently and smiled: "Three girls, is this your first time in Haojing? You..."
The faces of the two principal girls changed slightly. The gold threads on their hands were entangled, and the pony whips inlaid with small pearls turned into countless afterimages whizzing down. Several men let out shrill and miserable howls, and were beaten by the little two.
The whip whipped around like a spinning top, and he vomited blood and flew more than ten feet away, before plunging into the canal nearby.
"Heh, let's go!" The older girl laughed and shouted softly, and the little donkey jumped up and down, rushing into the water gate in a flash, and broke into Haojing City with a "tick-tick-tick" sound.
The two corner girls smiled "hee hee" and hurriedly followed.
The three little braying donkeys ran so fast that the three women had already disappeared without a trace before Wu Hou, the patrolman who maintained law and order on the pier, could react.
"Sister, are these the evil people who are always attentive to others, but are either rapists or thieves, as my grandmother and the others said?"
"I guess so, but it's really strange, how can such weak villains be so weak? Why do they do evil?"
Entering from the water gate in the northeast corner of Haojing, crossing two artificial canals, you will see the Jiuqu Garden where the emperor resides. A little further south from the Jiuqu Garden, you will find Cathay, Min'an, and Anle.
Three little donkeys called "Tick-Tick-Tick" were galloping along the bank of the canal, and by chance they came to Anlefang. Mrs. Hu, who looked gloomy, was rummaging through boxes and cabinets in her private storehouse.
From a nanmu box, two sets of sparkling fine porcelain tea sets were found. Mrs. Hu frowned and looked at the set, which was as white as snow on the inside. The outside was carved with extremely delicate landscape pictures, and the inside was made of extremely fine
Filled with gold threads, it looks like an extremely 'expensive' tea set.
"Hey, I always say that the gold-plated porcelain I ordered is too vulgar... Tsk, how can it be called vulgar when it's so glittering? It's called wealth!"
"However, I don't like it. I won't use it anyway, so I'll send it to my brother's family."
She asked her two confidants, the old ladies, to put the nanmu box aside, and then Mrs. Hu took out a set of more than a hundred pieces of sapphire tableware from another box.
This set of exquisitely polished lotus-style tableware includes soup bowls, rice bowls, dinner plates, fish plates, etc. It is extremely versatile.
The body of the tableware is made of sapphire with excellent water quality and is very valuable.
Like the two sets of tea sets just now, the appearance of this set of tableware is also carved with fine floral patterns. It is also filled with gold threads, and the jade and gold light are mixed together. The gorgeousness of 'a house full of gold and jade' is really
It can blind ordinary people's eyes.
"Similarly, I don't like this set of tableware either. I haven't used it once since I bought it. I don't have any use for it, so I gave it to my second brother's house."
She asked the old woman to move the set of utensils aside, and Mrs. Hu continued to rummage.
Soon, she found a set of colorful enamel fruit bowls. There were seven fruit bowls in the set, with different shapes, some were small, and they were specially used by families to display various rare fruits and to smell the fruits.
Incense utensils.
The craftsmanship of colorful enamel is already gorgeous enough, but the edges of these seven fruit bowls are inlaid with a row of thumb-sized multi-colored gemstones, which makes these seven fruit bowls even more jewel-like and 'extraordinary'.
"This is something I don't need anymore, so I sent it to my third brother's house."
Mrs. Hu took out her handkerchief, wiped the sweat from her forehead, looked at the several sets of good items she had carefully selected, stamped her feet heavily, and sighed: "You masters are really crazy... My few
My brother and nephew, all of them with tender skin and flesh, are all noble people, how can they go into battle?"
"Oh, these days, their little ones have been crying and crying and begging...What can I do? I can only use these things to stop them from bothering me?"
With one hand on her hips and the other swinging seductively back and forth beside her, Mrs. Hu slowly walked out of the warehouse with a group of women and maids.
In addition to the nanmu boxes containing the tea sets, tableware, and fruit bowls, behind Mrs. Hu, there were several maids holding some small boxes, which contained exquisitely cast gold ingots and silver ingots.
Those utensils were intended to be sent to her three younger brothers' homes.
And these gold and silver tassels are added to the saying, "We are all relatives, so it would be too shabby to give things away"!
After leaving the warehouse, she naturally had her confidants to send these things to where they were supposed to go. Madam Hu, who had been busy for a while, suddenly became excited. This time, she did not need the help of the maid, and climbed up the mansion by herself.
The tallest building, taking advantage of the good days and the excellent view, looks towards the west.
She still couldn't see any movement in the Duke of Lai's Mansion, but Mrs. Hu, who was drooling slightly at the corner of her mouth, could imagine the treasure house of the Duke of Lai's Mansion, which was as rich as mountains of gold and silver seas, and the piles of brocades and riches.
"Good wealth, why isn't it yours, Madam?" A chuckle came from behind Madam Hu.
"Which dog poked you to scare your mother?" Mrs. Hu was startled by the sudden voice. She turned back suddenly and looked at it fiercely, and then, her angry face suddenly revealed a bright smile.
smile.
"Oh, it's Miss Weishuang... You are really a rare and distinguished guest. We haven't seen each other for a while... You, uh, heard that something happened in your house a few days ago?" Mrs. Hu looked at it.
Standing quietly behind her was Bai Lu, wearing a long red dress as bright as flames, with her hair in a high bun.
A set of nine phoenix-shaped hairpins were inserted into Bailu's bun, which was extremely gorgeous; her body was covered with necklaces, and the necklaces made of red gemstones combined with the red palace skirt gave her a thrilling and strange beauty.
Her wrists and fingers were densely covered with all kinds of extremely precious orbs and jewelry made of precious stones, which made Madam Hu's eyes almost jump out of her sockets.
Putting her hands gently on her lower abdomen, Bai Lu looked at Mrs. Hu with a smile: "Yes, it's been a long time since we last met."
After a slight pause, Bai Lu walked to Mrs. Hu and looked into the distance: "There is a little something happened at home, but it will be solved soon, so it's not a big deal. I remembered that I haven't said hello to you for a few days, so I came here specially today.
Look. Hee!"
Mrs. Hu completely ignored how Bai Lu broke into her back house without alerting any guards, maids, or servants.
What a sensational thing it is that a charming young lady with a rich daughter can come and go at will in a mansion with thousands of servants and servants running around, and thousands of servants and generals guarding it.
But Mrs. Hu, she really didn't take this matter to heart.
"You said, how great would it be if the wealth of the Duke of Lai's palace could be integrated with the wealth of your family?" Bai Lu smiled and looked at Mrs. Hu.
"Hehe, you are joking, Shuang." Mrs. Hu looked in the direction of Lai Guogong's mansion with great fascination: "Is this kind of thing... It's great to think about it, but to say..."
The white dew was extremely white, so white that there was no trace of blood. The almost transparent palm gently pressed on Mrs. Hu's shoulder: "Why is it impossible? If you have enough power, is the wealth of the Laiguo Duke's mansion also possible?
It’s not difficult to get...for example, what if Lai Guogong’s Manfu dies?”
Mrs. Hu stared at her with a look of shock: "I have thought about this matter, but there are tens of thousands of people in the Duke Lai's mansion..."
Bai Lu smiled, she had indeed thought about it.
"Try? Try? If you don't try, how will you know?" Bai Lu smiled and took out an extremely exquisite hairpin from her sleeve, composed of a strange four-winged bird and a mandala flower.
, gently handed it to Mrs. Hu.
"A little gift, can you try it on? Don't look at it as inconspicuous, it is a good treasure!"
Bai Lu looked at Mrs. Hu softly.
Outside Tian'en Gong's Mansion, three girls riding little donkeys were looking around. By chance, they followed the bridge into Anlefang, and arrived near Tian'en Gong's Mansion in a daze.
‘Buzz’!
From the long luggage beside the three girls, a low sound of swords could be heard at the same time.
The expressions of the three women changed slightly, and the two principal girls slapped their hands on the luggage at the same time.
A sound of "chila" broke through the air, and two blue sword rainbows with a length of seven to eight feet roared out, circled, and shot straight into the Tianen Palace.
