No matter how Cheng Chen acted like a spoiled child, he couldn't escape Pei Cui Yun's grasp and was dragged out by her.
"Mother, what are we going to buy?" Cheng Chen yawned and asked listlessly.
"Of course, I want to buy some things that women like, such as rouge, perfume, and so on. Xiao Chen, let me tell you, don't think that your mother-in-law is high and mighty, but she also likes these things.”、
"If you want to please her later, buy these, understand?”Pei Cui Yun warned.
Cheng Chen shook his head helplessly. Sure enough, no matter what era it was, women liked this kind of thing.
"Mother, can you not always call me mother-in-law? Princess Chang Le and I are not married yet!”
"Sooner or later, brat, you have to have some backbone. What do you mean you're not married to Princess Chang Le? Princess Gao Yang, are you not going to care?"
"We have to share the rain and dew equally, understand?”Pei Cui Yun said with a straight face.
Cheng Chen really wanted to cry. You're really my bride!
"Mother, let's not talk about this matter for now. Speaking of which, will the Empress be interested in the rouge powder you bought in Chang 'an? He was in such a high position, why would he care about this?”
Pei Cuiyun smiled smugly," You don't understand. Don't look at how your mother-in-law is in a high position. She is also locked up in the palace and rarely leaves the palace.”
"The rouge, perfume, and spices she uses have to wait for the various provincial provinces or foreign states to pay tribute. Think about it, how long will it take to pay tribute?”
"By the time she uses the rouge, cosmetics, and spices, they will be out of date. They will not be as fresh as the ones bought in Chang 'an shops.”
"Mother, you know all this?" Cheng Chen was surprised.”
All along, Cheng Chen had thought that Pei Cui Yun had a carefree personality. He didn't expect her to have such a meticulous side. It really made him look at her in a new light.
"Hey." Pei Cuiyun sighed," Being in the Imperial Court, you have to be more tactful. Do you think that just because Mother is the wife of the Duke, you can rest easy?”
"As the saying goes, accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. Who knows when His Majesty is unhappy, our Cheng family will be in a disaster.”
"Build a good relationship with the court officials 'wives and get closer to the Empress. It can also be considered as an additional guarantee for our Cheng family. What do you think Mother's purpose is for letting you marry the princess?”
"Isn't it still giving you a brat an extra life-saving trump card? If you married two, you would have two trump cards!”
Cheng Chen heard this and his heart felt warm. He never thought that Pei Cui Yun would be so thoughtful.
Mother's words reminded me that I'm still young now. If I say something overboard, Li Er won't pursue it, but what if I grow up?
Hmm, it seems that I can't continue to be a salted fish. I have to do something big. It's best if I can do it so that Li Er won't dare to touch me.
But where should I start? Cheng Chen muttered to himself.
"Little Chen, hurry up and leave. I heard that the spice shop has new goods today. If we're late, we won't be able to get them.”
"You have to know that new spices are very popular. Even if they are frighteningly expensive, they will be snatched away in a while!”
Cheng Chen didn't think much of it." Mother, aren't the so-called spices flower petals? How expensive can it be?"
"How expensive? Let me tell you, a new pouch of spices costs ten taels of silver!”
F * ck!
Cheng Chen was shocked. Ten taels of silver? Robbery!
During the Zhenguan period, how much did a bucket of rice cost? These ten taels of silver were enough to feed the entire family for half a year!
Could it be that since ancient times, luxury accessories had always been so expensive?
Thinking about it, Cheng Chen's eyes suddenly lit up. Why wouldn't I do such a profitable business?
Wouldn't I make a killing if I were to bring over modern perfume technology?
But there's one thing I don't f * cking know!
Cheng Chen instantly became depressed. It was as if he had lost billions.
"This couplet is really difficult!"
"Brother, have you thought of it?"
"No, it's really too difficult."
Pei Cuiyun and Cheng Chen walked forward and suddenly found a group of people gathered at the crossroad.
Cheng Chen subconsciously took a few glances and found that there were two disguises in front of him. The disguises seemed to be a couplet.
The first couplet, the article can pull the sky to pick the stars.
The next couplet, Wu can go to the sea to capture the dragon.
He was unparalleled in the world!
"What big words! How could there be such arrogant words in Chang 'an?”Pei Cuiyun raised her eyebrows and pulled Cheng Chen's hand." Let's go, son. Let's go and take a look."”
Cheng Chen didn't want to join in the fun, but he couldn't persuade Pei Cui Yun and could only follow.
In the middle of the crowd was a butler and a few servants. The servants were holding a couplet in their hands.
"Scholars and heroes who are passing by, come over and take a look!”
"Whoever can match this couplet will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver and can continue to the next level!”
"If you pass the next round, the rewards will be even more generous!”
"Is there anyone who wants to try?"
"Sigh, could it be that this is absolute? No one can match it?"
Cheng Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at the first half.
The sea water was falling day by day.
Seeing this couplet, Cheng Chen pursed his lips. What absolute? Wasn't it just a word game?
Cheng Chen suddenly lost interest and said to Pei Cuiyun,"Mother, let's go. Aren't you in a hurry to buy rouge and cosmetic powder?”
Pei Cui Yun looked at Cheng Chen and whispered,""Son, can you match this couplet?”
"What?"
"Nothing much. I just think he's too arrogant. He's always talking about absolutes!”
"I remember your father saying that you matched Zhangsun Chong's couplet in the imperial court and made him bleed? Can you match this couplet?"
"Yes, but there's no need.”Cheng Chen didn't want to be in the limelight, and he didn't care about that hundred silver either.
When Pei Cui Yun heard that Cheng Chen could agree, she was even more happy," Son, go up and do it, give your parents face, go quickly!"”
Cheng Chen was very helpless. No one else had such a mother. She would join in all the fun.
Ding! Divine level selection triggered!
1. Leave indifferently. Reward: a bowl of turtle soup.
2. Success. Reward: Perfume manufacturing method!
When Cheng Chen heard that, he was instantly energized. He really wanted to eat ice and hail!
Looks like I can't do anything wrong!
