"Burn it." Zhu Bai ordered without hesitation.
Changshou looked surprised: "Ah. Your Highness, is it really burning?"
What if it's true?
That would be a shame.
Zhu Bai said: "It's been confirmed to be fake, why do you still keep it?"
Changshou could only take it to the yard, take out the fire folding paper, light the painting, and then watch the "treasure" that had been carefully preserved for who knows how many years turn into ashes in an instant.
Zhu Bai called Yun Qi aside and asked in a low voice: "You are so sure, maybe there are other reasons."
Yunqi said: "No."
Zhu Bai looked at him lightly.
Yun Qi could only whisper: "I tell His Highness, His Highness cannot tell anyone."
Zhu Bai nodded: "Okay, don't worry, you tell me."
Yunqi said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Because the original is with Mr. Li Shanchang."
Zhu Bai understood instantly.
When Yingtian City was captured, Li Shanchang led his people to the Jiqing Road Government Office to protect the classics. By the way, he took some calligraphy and paintings hidden in the Government Office for himself.
How could that rough man Lao Zhu pay attention to these things? His eyes must only be focused on jewelry, jade, gold and silver.
He can't do this again.
Otherwise, you won’t even know you were deceived.
to learn!
Study hard!
Zhu Bai rushed to Yun Qi and cupped his hand: "I didn't expect Eunuch Yun to know so much about antique calligraphy and painting. Please teach me more in the future."
Yun Qi was flattered and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Highness, you have broken this servant."
Zhu Bai nodded and helped him up: "Don't be afraid. Here, I only value ability. Origin and rank are not issues."
He beckons to longevity.
Changshou came over hurriedly: "Your Highness."
Zhu Bai said: "Let's do this. Leave the antiques, calligraphy and paintings to Yunqi. Your Highness will assign you some other work."
Although Changshou was reluctant, he knew that Yunqi was indeed stronger than him, and he did not dare to disobey Zhu Bai: "Yes."
Zhu Bai whispered: "You are more careful and knowledgable. I want a few big cloaks, but I don't feel safe giving them to others. There must be a lot of furs in here. Go and check it out, and be sure to help me pick out a few good ones. Finally, It's silver fox, black fox, and mink. If not, peacock fur will do. And the ginseng, deer antlers, tiger bones, leopard whip, and various supplements, please take them back carefully for me. I want to keep them for myself."
Changshou became happy again and hurriedly took a few people in.
Zhu Bai himself and a few guards followed Yun Qi to watch his Braille paintings.
Although the Wang family has accumulated a lot of calligraphy, painting and antiques, they don't have many genuine items. They are the ones who took advantage of someone who was stupid and had too much money.
It is exactly the same as some rich people later.
Gee, it’s terrible to be uneducated.
-----
Zhu Bai and the others took a whole day to count everything in a house.
Changshou actually found six or seven large cloaks made of fox armpit fur, which were thin and soft. They provided protection from the wind, kept warm, and did not touch water.
There is no such good cloak in the palace.
Tsk tsk. Although the Wang family is uneducated, they enjoy themselves very much.
There are also dozens more made of various furs.
Zhu Bai returned to the palace with these cloaks.
He first went to the Imperial Study Room and gave Zhu Biao and Lao Zhu each a silver fox fur cloak.
Zhu Biao frowned slightly: "I'm afraid it's not good to be so extravagant."
Zhu Bai grinned: "Brother, this was stolen from a house. It's not like we spent money from the treasury to buy it. And it's not like silver that can be stored for decades. It will grow moldy after a few years in the treasury." Yes. Leaving it unused is a waste of natural resources. If you want to use it, who else in the world is qualified to use it except us, the royal family?"
Zhu Biao thought about it and agreed. He took the cloak and saluted Zhu Bai: "That's it, thank you very much."
Lao Zhu had already put it on, and then began to scold his mother: "These corrupt officials really enjoy it more than we do. Fortunately, Lao Twelve found out, otherwise we would not be the emperor in vain, and we would not be as comfortable as a eunuch."
Zhu Bai handed over to Lao Zhu: "Father, I have found many pieces and plan to send one to my mother."
Lao Zhu nodded: "Okay, okay, that's right. Let's get one for Concubine Hu Shun, too. We saw her wearing a cotton-padded coat a few days ago. A cotton-padded coat can't keep you warm without blocking the wind."
This was what Zhu Bai was waiting for, and he hurriedly said: "Thank you, Father. I also found a few smaller ones. I plan to get one for myself and Zhu Ju. Zhu Ju lives with Concubine Hu Shun, so if she wears It’s so shabby, wouldn’t it be an embarrassment to me?!”
Lao Zhu narrowed his eyes and looked at him: "When did you become so honest? You have to ask us one by one about such a small matter. I asked you to check, isn't that what it means?"
Zhu Bai chuckled: "Only after my father nodded, my son dared to wear it."
Lao Zhu pointed at him: "Do you know what we like most about you? It's that you hold great power and are in a high position. You always know what to do and what not to do. Unlike those people who have a little power in their hands and then let it go. You stretched your hand too far. It’s hard for you at such a young age.”
Zhu Bai: "I don't dare to overstep my bounds. Everything I have is given to me by my father, the queen and my eldest brother."
Lao Zhu: "Yeah. Since you want to be a good person, just do it to the end. Just give one to each of your brothers, sisters, and younger brothers and sisters who haven't left the palace yet. To avoid them saying that we are partial."
Zhu Bai said: "Yes, I will do it right away."
Zhu Bai gave Queen Ma a cloak.
Queen Ma's reaction was exactly the same as Zhu Biao's.
Zhu Bai had to give her some advice.
Then Empress Ma also figured it out and sighed: "We have been frugal in the palace for a year and we can't afford to be as extravagant as others."
Zhu Bai said, "That's not true. Besides, the mother's health is more important than anything else. A fox fur coat stolen from home is worth it if it can keep the mother from being cold."
Zhu Bai also reported to Queen Ma about giving Concubine Hu Shun a fox fur cloak.
Queen Ma smiled: "Oh, it's rare for you to be so considerate. How can the queen mother blame me? Just go ahead."
Every little princess and prince in the palace wore thin and warm fox or mink cloaks.
Although the concubines were jealous that besides the queen, only Concubine Hu Shun had a fox fur cloak, they felt a little better when they saw their children wearing beautiful clothes.
-----
Zhu Bai found a pure white one for Concubine Hu Shun, and a bright red one for Zhu Ju.
I think they both look good in it.
At night, Fugui helped Zhu Bai bring back a cloak and supplements to Concubine Hu Shun.
Zhu Bai asked eagerly: "How's it going? What did my mother say?"
Fugui said: "Concubine Shun said, oh, His Highness King Xiang says he hates my sister, but he actually knows how to care for people."
He imitated Concubine Hu Shun's gentle expression and tone to 10%.
Hearing this made Zhu Bai get goosebumps and roll his eyes.
The other palace people were so amused that they covered their mouths and laughed wildly.
Fugui pouted again and imitated Zhu Ju: "Brother is the best."
Zhu Bai was so sick that he almost vomited: "Fuck, don't imitate Zhu Ju's speech anymore. She already makes me sick. If you try it again, it will be even more disgusting."
