Shopping is a natural instinct for women. Even for people like Zhu Mingyue who have never experienced it, it seems like they are born with it.
In the public opinion, Zhu Yunxi has been reduced to just following his sister to carry things.
In the end, I had no choice but to call out a few Jinyi guards hiding in the dark to help get it.
"Sister, can you buy less? Aren't you tired? We have been shopping for more than half an hour, and my legs are going numb."
Zhu Yunxi complained and said that at this moment, Zhu Mingyue was in a rouge shop. It was said that the precious rouge was shipped from far overseas.
"You are really useless. Big brother has already said that no matter how much the expenses are today, he will pay for it. It's not like you don't understand big brother's property. It's a rare occasion that you come out. Naturally, you will see what you like and buy them all." ."
Zhu Mingyue opened a box of red rouge, applied it on the back of her hand, and looked at the color through the sunlight.
Under the sun, there are actually faint colored powders inside this rouge, revealing a colorful halo.
The shopkeeper of the rouge shop said, "This lady really has good eyesight. This is the most famous multi-colored rouge. Pearl powder is added to this rouge. It can not only beautify and whiten the face, but also maintain the soft skin on the face. It also has a very beautiful effect.”
"But most people can't resist this kind of Rouge. Only Miss, you, with your extraordinary temperament, are a perfect match for this Rouge."
"If this rouge is smeared on the lady's lips, any man who sees it will have wild imaginations."
The shopkeeper was busy introducing himself, but before he finished speaking, Zhu Yunxi shouted from the side: "How dare you, shopkeeper, you are so brave, you even used words to belittle my sister."
"See if I don't put you in jail today, so you can do some soul-searching."
Following Zhu Yunxi's loud shout, several Jinyi guards nearby immediately surrounded him. Looking at the situation, they knew that the shop must have been smashed today.
The shopkeeper looked aggrieved and said quickly: "It's an injustice. It's really a huge injustice. I just want to introduce this Rouge. We in this business always use such beautiful words."
"Young man, I really don't mean that, or you can go and ask around. It's very common for those of us who sell rouge and gouache to say this."
This burst of noise immediately attracted people around to watch.
The shopkeeper next to him, who also sold rouge and gouache, quickly came over to help explain.
Soon, the place was filled with spectators.
If I heard something before, I immediately started talking about it in the surrounding area, and everyone was talking about it.
"This is nothing, isn't it? Why did you get angry when you complimented the little girl on her beauty?"
"Anyone from this rouge and gouache shop can't even say a few nice words, but just because of this, they have to arrest people and bring them to court. It's a bit too much."
"She must be a girl from a wealthy family. She must be thin-skinned and has never seen her before."
The chatter in the crowd, coupled with the shopkeeper's grievance, immediately put pressure on Zhu Yunxi's side. The so-called "thousands of people's accusations" ended in vain, and Zhu Yunxi's side suddenly panicked.
Seeing this, the plainclothes guards nearby immediately started shouting loudly, trying to drive away the crowd, but the crowd had no fear at all.
One of the old men stood up and accused the three imperial guards: "This is the foot of the emperor. His Highness the Grand Sun has an order to convey. No one is allowed to bully others with his or her own status."
"Any quarrels that occur in the community are mediated by the Public Security Department officials. If mediation fails, they will be appealed to the government. Why do you need to show off your prestige here?"
These words were so loud that they applauded, and the melon-eaters watching nearby burst into enthusiastic cheers.
However, these are of course nothing to Jin Yiwei. The three of them protected Zhu Mingyue and Zhu Yunxi behind them, staring coldly at the crowd around them, waiting for an opportunity.
When the little old man saw it, his heart was shocked.
The advantage of living a long time is that you have seen many things before, and the postures of the three of them are clearly unique to the military.
This shows that the boy and girl are almost certainly the descendants of nobles in the military.
The military attache in the Ming Dynasty was a very unreasonable being, that is to say, there were many restrictions in the capital, but he could still restrain himself.
But if they are justified, the situation will be completely different.
Moreover, compared to civilian officials, military attachés are much more united.
Just when the little old man wanted to leave, ten patrolmen surrounded him.
It turns out that at the beginning of the incident, the government official in charge of this street had already discovered the situation and was ready to come and stop it.
After seeing this, I immediately didn’t dare to go alone.
It is clear that he is a noble son and it is beyond the scope of his handling. It is better to call the captain first.
When the leader of the catch knew this, he immediately summoned eight people from the surrounding area and surrounded him.
"What are you doing? What do you want to do? Ignore the laws of the capital. Do you want to stay in our cell for two days to stretch your muscles?"
The captain shouted loudly and started to drive away the crowd.
The people who were watching the melon-eating in the surrounding area suddenly dispersed like birds and beasts. It was okay to watch the fun, but it was certainly not okay to cause trouble.
"That old man, that's him, don't let him go, he's the one here to incite the crowd."
With sharp eyes, Zhu Yunxi looked at the old man who spoke before, and immediately pointed and shouted.
When the patrol officer who came over saw this, he simply left the person behind.
The old man had a depressed look on his face and just made a few random remarks, but he was implicated.
One of the plainclothes guards walked up to the captain in a few steps, revealing the badge on his waist from a side view.
"Don't make any noise." The plainclothes guard said coldly.
"What are you going to do? Let go of our captain. What are you trying to do? You want to attack the patrolman?"
When the police officer saw this situation, he immediately shouted loudly.
The captain turned to face the policeman who had just spoken, and said on his forehead: "What nonsense are you talking about? I'll take care of you when I get back."
At this moment, the captain suppressed his shock and his heart was shaking.
Only now did he see clearly that it was Jin Yiwei's waist card. What kind of big shot was the person that Jin Yiwei had to protect?
He must be at least a noble disciple of the governor level.
Fortunately, I just came here and didn't cause any trouble. If there were any mistakes, I might not be able to protect my official clothes.
The beaten policeman still felt a little aggrieved and didn't understand what he had just done wrong.
The clever detective had already sensed something was wrong, and immediately winked, firmly controlling the old man just now.
The captain didn't know what to do at this moment, so he looked at the Jin Yiwei just now with intention.
However, the Jin Yiwei didn't squint his eyes and didn't pay any attention to him at all.
The meaning is very clear, the other party does not want to reveal his identity.
Looking at the boy and girl, you can tell at a glance that they are rich and noble. This kind of temperament cannot be cultivated by ordinary aristocratic families.
So I could only bite the bullet and asked with a grimace: "Young Master, Miss, I don't know what happened."
Before Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Mingyue could speak, the shopkeeper said first: "Master, you have to make decisions for the people, the people..."
The captain suddenly shouted: "Shut up, I didn't ask you. It's not your turn to speak here."
As soon as these words came out, the shopkeeper, who was already aggrieved, became even more aggrieved.
He already understood that the young lady in front of him was definitely someone he could not afford to offend.
Subconsciously, I wanted to show the back tire of the store, but when I was about to exit, I closed it tightly.
Because the shopkeeper knows that the captain knows the master behind his family.
This also silenced me, indicating that even my own master might not be able to offend this young lady.
Thinking of this, the shopkeeper's heart was trembling. He wanted to slap his own mouth and slap himself hard. It was all because of his damn mouth. Why did he say these words? He suffered a disaster for nothing.
When his eyes were focused on Zhu Yunxi, he was no longer as aggressive as before.
He also understood from some of the words spoken just now that those seemingly frivolous words were indeed beautiful words often said in rouge and gouache shops.
"Well, you still have to pay more attention when you speak in the future. Not everyone can say whatever they want."
"But understand?"
Zhu Yunxi didn't have anything bad in his heart. It was just because of the education from the court. Now seeing this scene, he wanted to teach the shopkeeper a lesson, so he just gave him a lesson.
When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately bowed and said: "Young master taught me a lesson, it's all because of the damn mouth of the little old man. He deserved a beating, he deserved a beating."
As he spoke, he slapped himself in the face.
This is not just a simple matter, every stroke makes a crackling sound, and within a few breaths, you can see that the shopkeeper's face is already red.
"Okay, let's not do this next time." Seeing this, Zhu Yunxi also said.
The shopkeeper is a sensible person. After stopping, he hurriedly said: "In order to express my apology, I just picked the rouge and gouache that the young lady liked. I apologize for this."
Zhu Mingyue said: "No, I don't need your little money."
After saying that, he pointed at the one he had just noticed and asked it to be wrapped up. Then one of the plainclothes guards paid the bill.
The captain didn't expect that he would understand so well after making such a fuss.
However, it is better to do less than to do more, so I will naturally wait for you.
At this time, Zhu Yunxi pointed to the old man who was in the crowd and said: "It's you, bring it to me, it was you who was fanning in the crowd just now."
"Just do it, just do it..." The words stuck in his throat, and Zhu Yunxi hadn't figured out how to punish him yet.
If he was beaten and thrown into a jail cell, it would be too severe. After all, the other party was still in his sixties.
If I just let it go, it would be too easy, and I feel a little unwilling.
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw the shopkeeper's packaging, and an idea suddenly came to my mind.
"I will punish you to follow our brother and sister today and get things from him. Give everything to him and let him hold it."
This may be the best punishment Zhu Yunxi can think of.
The old man didn't expect that he would be punished like this in the end, and he immediately responded with a smile.
Zhu Mingyue didn't think too much. After buying like this, she naturally went to the next store.
Zhu Yunxi said, "Follow me," and left without paying attention to the patrolmen who came over.
Only the captain breathed a sigh of relief.
"Boss, what are the backgrounds of these people that make the boss so nervous?" asked the clever patrolman.
The captain glanced at the other person's leaving figure and made sure that he could no longer hear him. Then he said, "Don't ask blindly. There are many people in this capital, under the Emperor's feet, that you and I cannot afford to offend."
"Okay, let's go and take responsibility for ourselves."
When the matter was discovered, the patrolmen dispersed.
But no one noticed that in the attic diagonally opposite, there was a man in a green robe, watching everything that just happened.
Not long after, there was a knock on the private room door.
"Come in."
A middle-aged man opened the door. After closing the door, he bowed and said, "Sir, I just found out that that person is the commander of the Jinyi Guards, Jiang Wei."
"There is also an attendant who is quite old and has a fair face and no beard. He must be the eunuch of the palace."
There were five people who had just gone to investigate, but the man only mentioned the two people around him.
Once the identities of the two are revealed, the identities of the other three, grandfather and grandson, are naturally self-evident.
The man in green robe recalled that he happened to see a group of five people in the crowd earlier. He did not recognize the leaders of the group, but he was lucky enough to have met Jiang Gu.
The commander of the Imperial Guards!
This is a high-ranking official, who can forget it if he meets him once.
"He who has such a fate in the capital actually comes out to play. He seems very confident." The man in green robe said while drinking tea.
The middle-aged man stood aside with a bow, waiting for the order from the man in green robe.
Although the man in green robe spoke coolly, he felt a little worried in his heart.
The Ming Emperor's private visit incognito was a good opportunity for them, but it didn't seem like much of an opportunity.
Although I hate Zhu Yuanzhang deeply, but when it comes to this, I am a little unsure.
After a cup of tea, the man in green robe didn't say another word.
It was only when he picked up the teapot that there was no tea in it, that the man in green robe sighed softly and ordered:
"Go quickly and tell the Japanese about His Majesty's trip. I'm sure they will take some action."
"Now that the Ming Dynasty is at war with the Japanese country, these Japanese people can't get any benefits, and they are hampered everywhere. They must be holding back their anger."
"It just depends on how they seize this opportunity."
After finishing speaking, the man in green robe was a little disinterested and waved his hand to ask the middle-aged man to leave.
"Sir, do you need to ask someone to bring some tea?"
"No need."
"Yes, I am resigning."
After hearing the door closing, the man in green robe looked out the window.
The streets are crowded with people, as prosperous as Jiangnan in the past, and goods from all over the world are gathered here.
"Are these things we insist on wrong or right?"
The green-robed man's surname is Zhang, Zhang Shicheng's Zhang.
His father is Zhang Shicheng's illegitimate son.
Once, Zhang Shicheng's wife and Zhang Shicheng's concubines piled firewood downstairs in Qiyun, and ordered people to set fire to the building before hanging herself.
Only his father, an illegitimate son, escaped with his life.
