After Rebirth, I Became a Powerful Minister’s Beloved

Chapter 241: The Son of Heaven Sells Meat on the Street

After the Kunning Palace was burnt to ruins, Chu Huaixiu appointed Gu Chongshan as the construction supervisor, and rebuilt the palace on the former site of the Kunning Palace, named Xiaoyao Palace, for Wen Tong to live in.

The treasures of the world are gathered, gold is used as bricks, pearls are used as curtains, walls are decorated with pepper mud, ivory is exquisitely carved, and ambergris is one or two thousand pieces of gold, which is extremely luxurious and luxurious.

In the southeast corner of the palace, six palaces were bulldozed, vacating a hundred hectares of flat land, and Chang'an-style shops, restaurants, and karaoke halls were built. There are people in the market, wearing Dayong costumes, and walking in and out of it, creating a sense of Chang'an's market place.

Nan Baoyi wandered around with Xiao Yi in this market place in the palace, he was simply stunned.

She asked curiously, "What exactly does Chu Huaixiu want to do?"

Xiao Yi sneered: "I tried every means to pursue the emperor's wife. At first, I wanted to send troops to attack Dayong to avenge the emperor's brother, but was rejected by the emperor's wife. Later, seeing that the emperor's wife was unhappy all day long, he spent a lot of money to build a luxurious palace, and built a Chang'an style palace. The local market will relieve her of her worries and boredom, so that she will not miss her hometown."

Nan Baoyi silently exhaled a cloud of white mist.

It turns out that being an emperor can really do whatever he wants.

She followed Xiao Yi and sat next to the pastry shop on the street, looking around curiously: "Where is Sister-in-law Huang?"

Xiao Yi raised his jaw.

Looking over from Nan Baoyi, the emperor's sister-in-law was wearing a Lama Temple dress, sitting in front of the stage with the palace maids, watching the singing and dancing in Chang'an, maybe she was thinking about the crown prince, her almond eyes were a little distracted.

She couldn't bear to step forward to disturb her, and said, "Where is Chu Huaixiu?"

"Sell meat over there."

"Sell...meat?!"

Nan Baoyi was surprised.

An unsightly picture appeared in her mind, and she quickly looked at Chu Huaixiu.

It turns out that one sells meat, not the other.

Chu Huaixiu tied a ponytail casually, with a few locks of hair scattered on his forehead, with a smile on his handsome face, bare upper body, a pair of linen trousers, and an apron around his waist. In front of him was a stall full of pork. With a large greasy kitchen knife in his hand, he was swiftly cutting off a strip of fat and thin pork belly, and selling it to the court lady who came to buy the meat.

The court lady crowed like a rooster, screaming excitedly, holding a bunch of pork belly, she couldn't wait to cover her face shyly.

The other court ladies rushed forward and all came to buy meat from the emperor.

Nan Baoyi: "..."

The brain paused for a few moments.

She couldn't believe it: "Chu Huaixiu is crazy?!"

"Colorful clothes to entertain relatives." Xiao Yi took a sip of tea, "Trying to use this method to make the emperor's wife happy."

Nan Baoyi looked carefully at Chu Huaixiu.

Sure enough, seeing him showing off his sword skills like a treasure, he would glance in the direction of the emperor's sister-in-law from time to time, and when he noticed that the other party didn't care about his movement at all, he was not discouraged and became more and more courageous.

Well, she doesn't understand the world of lovers.

After watching the fresh meal, she said worriedly: "The emperor sells meat in the street, it's nonsense, didn't the courtiers persuade him?"

Xiao Yi was noncommittal: "Jiaojiao, look over there."

Nan Baoyi looked over.

Gu Chongshan sat behind a medicinal material booth,

Poker face.

Numerous noble ladies from aristocratic families crowded in front of the booth, scrambling to buy medicinal materials from him, but it was not so much buying medicine as it was more like watching the nine-thousand-year-old beauty up close.

Sure enough, people with good looks can enjoy themselves no matter where they are.

She looked over one by one, the prime minister's jewelry store, the historian's bookstore, the household department's cloth shop, the ritual department's wine shop, Jing Zhaoyin's porcelain shop, etc., row upon row, and every house was bustling.

"I understand," she said with emotion, "Chu Huaixiu brought all the courtiers here, and every family has made a fortune. Naturally, those courtiers would not persuade the emperor. Second brother, do you have any shops and sell them?" What is it?"

"Jiaojiao guess."

"Shu Brocade?"

"wrong."

"The bank?"

"wrong."

Nan Baoyi thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Then I can't guess."

Xiao Yi paused for a moment, then said, "Vinegar."

Nan Baoyi: "Well, it's quite suitable for the second brother."

Just as it was bustling, a bay red horse came galloping.

The girl on horseback wears cowhide boots, a red palace skirt, a brown animal skin around her waist, and a cloak with a large fox fur collar around her neck. She has black hair and snow skin, and looks arrogant.

She waved a long whip, spoke words that others could not understand, and laughed sharply from time to time, which puzzled the civil and military officials and eunuchs and maids all over the street.

Nan Baoyi raised his eyebrows.

Others could not understand the girl's words, but she could.

This girl is from the Northern Wei Dynasty and speaks the dialect of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

During the years in Xichang in the previous life, Gu Chongshan not only sent her to the teaching workshop to learn singing and dancing, taught her riding and archery kung fu, but also taught her the language of the Northern Wei Dynasty himself. Fortunately, she is quite talented in language, and she still remembers the language of the Northern Wei Dynasty. .

She translated to Xiao Yi: "She is the princess of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and she called the South Yue people all cowards who were defeated in the war, so they should bow down to her."

Xiao Yi nodded.

He and Gu Chongshan looked at each other from afar.

It seems that the Northern Wei Mission has entered Beijing ahead of schedule.

He said: "I have something to do, Jiaojiao sit here, don't run around, wait for me to come back."

Nan Baoyi nodded.

Xiao Yi got up and left the palace market at the same time as Gu Chongshan.

Nan Baoyi still paid attention to the Northern Wei princess.

Her riding skills were not very good, she accidentally knocked over the fish shop, rolled off the horse in embarrassment, and rolled over the fish basin filled with clear water, half soaked.

The little maid selling fish was terrified, and knelt down and kowtowed to her while crying.

However, the princess of the Northern Wei Dynasty was still furious. She raised her horsewhip and lashed at the little maid. The little maid was covered in blood, and she rolled back and forth on the ground begging for mercy.

Nan Baoyi didn't want to care about it.

But thinking of the self in the previous life, who had been whipped under the feet of others, and rolled around begging for mercy like this, finally felt a little compassion.

Holding the horsewhip of the princess of the Northern Wei Dynasty, she spoke a half-baked Northern Wei dialect, and said seriously: "She didn't do it on purpose, please forgive her, the princess of the Northern Wei Dynasty, to show the generosity and kindness of the Northern Wei Dynasty."

The girl raised her eyebrows, as if surprised that someone could understand the dialect of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

She took out a piece of paper from her pocket.

Because of the wetness, some of the ink characters on the paper could not be seen clearly.

She said: "The mission of the Northern Wei Dynasty arrived in Beijing. This is what the princess wants to say at the state banquet tomorrow night. Since you know the languages ​​of the two countries, can you complete it for the princess?"

Nan Baoyi took it.

The paper is full of daily communication expressions, such as "The Emperor of South Vietnam is blessed and safe", "We came for peace between the two countries", "Thank you", "You are beautiful too" and so on.

This translation is not difficult.

Nan Baoyi sat down in front of the Four Treasures shop of the study on the street, and re-translated and transcribed.

As I was writing, I heard the Princess of the Northern Wei Dynasty standing behind her, swearing in the more vulgar Western Northern Wei dialect: "Little bitch, it's great to be able to speak two languages, what a show of prestige!"

She had also heard Gu Chongshan speak this rare dialect of the Western Northern Wei Dynasty.

A coldness flashed across Danfeng's eyes.

With a flick of her pen, she translated "The Emperor of Nanyue Wanfu Jin'an" into "The Emperor of Nanyue is a mallet", and so on.

,

The market place in the imperial palace was inspired by Xiao Baojuan, the emperor of the Southern Qi Dynasty: "A market is set up in the palace garden, eunuchs kill pigs and sheep, maids sell wine and sell meat, and concubine Pan acts as a market order."
