Chapter 49 General Weiyuan
When the three of them came to the street, Bao Taozi couldn't help frowning.
This is Kyoto!
It looks like a small county town, which is enough to show how poorly the development of Canglan Country is.
I went from store to store with Pearl and Jasper, buying something in each store.
The purpose of doing this is to have a general understanding of the economic development status of Canglan Country, so as to avoid making a fool of oneself in the future by taking out something that others have.
While walking around, Yuangungun took notes.
To sum up, this country is extremely poor, the people are not well fed and clothed, officials can only eat two meals a day, and ordinary people can only eat one meal a day.
Pork is a cheap meat because of its strong smell, so only the poorest families would eat it. There are also no high-yield crops such as sweet potatoes and corn, which gives Bao Taozi a lot of room to grow.
He took the two of them into the cloth shop, and the waiter came up to greet them with a smile.
Although it was just for show, it was still necessary to make a few sets of clothes. Bao Taozi never let herself be wronged. The original owner was invisible in the mansion. At most, the clothes she wore were patchless. Most of them were given to avoid losing face in the Prime Minister's Mansion. But there was no way to say that the clothes were very good.
"Show me the finest cloth in your shop."
The waiter burst into laughter after hearing this and hurriedly took Bao Taozi into the room.
The cloth inside the room was much better than the coarse cloth outside, but Bao Taozi touched it and it was still very rough.
"No thinner ones?"
"Oh my dear, this is already the best cloth in our capital! If you want better cloth, you can only buy some from Yuehua Country at a high price! It will just take a little longer to wait..."
"Forget it. This aubergine with a gold lily pattern and this ivory with a ruyi cloud pattern, what's your price for helping me tailor these clothes?"
The waiter was very happy and said, these two horses are the best in the store!
"It'll be five hundred coins for one piece of clothing. If you want two pieces, I'll charge you eight hundred coins. I can do it in three days!"
Bao Taozi nodded and said, "Send it to Sun Duyun's residence after it's done."
Sun Duyun is Bao Taozi's grandfather. Bao Taozi prepared these two pieces of clothing for when he meets the emperor. He also plans to move into his grandfather's house after meeting his grandfather tomorrow. However, if his grandfather's attitude is unclear, it is not impossible for him to buy a house to live in with a huge amount of money, but it will be more troublesome.
"Yes! Please follow me, young lady, and let the embroiderer take your measurements!"
.....
After buying clothes, it was already dark. Zhenzhu took a piece of red cloth that Bao Taozi had randomly chosen and went back home with Bao Taozi, while Biyu was assigned to do some work.
As soon as she entered the mansion, the doorman told Bao Taozi that the master of the house was looking for her.
He ordered Zhenzhu to send the things back to the courtyard and went to the prime minister's study alone.
As soon as she entered the room, she saw the Prime Minister admiring the flowers with his back to her.
"Father." Bao Taozi bowed slightly.
"Here it comes." The prime minister cut off a plum blossom and turned around to hand it to Bao Taozi.
Bao Taozi took it with both hands.
"This plum blossom, blooming in the frost, is the most resolute."
After a pause, he continued, "Do you blame your father for marrying you to General Weiyuan's mansion?"
"My daughter doesn't dare."
The prime minister suddenly laughed, patted Bao Taozi on the shoulder and said, "How dare you! The wedding date has been set. It's the first day of next month, a good day." If he hadn't been angry at all, he would have been worried.
Bao Taozi suddenly laughed.
"Father has worked hard for me, and I am not ungrateful. However, if I marry, and my dowry is too little, I'm afraid it will tarnish the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion. After all, the man I'm marrying is the legitimate son of General Weiyuan."
Even if I leave, I have to trick the Prime Minister's wife.
"So what do you think is a suitable dowry?"
Bao Taozi bowed and said, "An ordinary daughter of an official would have a dowry of ten dan. My father is a high-ranking official, and I don't want to bring shame to his reputation, so I should at least give two more dan. This is the dignified Weiyuan General's Mansion, so it's only right to give two more dan to show our respect."
The Prime Minister raised his eyebrows and said, "You are greedy. Even if she is a princess, she can only get married with sixteen dan!"
Bao Taozi was not in a hurry and put on a sweet smile.
"My daughter is only thinking about your father's reputation. I hope you will tell your stepmother to prepare early. Don't let anything slip out when the time comes for the wedding. Otherwise, it will not be a marriage, but an enemy."
The Prime Minister stared at Bao Taozi earnestly for a few breaths, then waved his hand and said, "Alright, I understand. You can leave first!"
Bao Taozi smiled and retreated, and as soon as he walked out, he snorted in his heart.
Sure enough, as long as she agreed to marry him, he would agree to any excessive request.
......
At nightfall, Biyu returned.
"Second Miss, I have already passed the message to General Weiyuan's residence. General Weiyuan said that he would arrange for someone to pick you up in the evening, so you don't have to worry."
The news was naturally that he could cure the general's son.
When I heard about the marriage earlier, I asked the system. To treat the dementia caused by the poison, you only need one thousand points to buy a pill.
I now need to find someone to back me up.
I have to thank the Prime Minister for showing me a way out.
General Weiyuan is the strongest supporter of Canglan Kingdom except for the emperor.
......
At midnight, there was a noise at the window. Bao Taozi got up and opened the window, and saw a man in black clothes waiting outside the house.
Bao Taozi told Zhenzhu to sleep in her own bed and then turned around and went out.
The man in black was probably afraid of offending Bao Taozi and didn't know where to start.
Bao Taozi couldn't wait any longer and jumped onto the other person's back.
They are not real ancient people, so how could there be such a strict distinction between men and women?
The man in black paused, then used his lightness skills to fly up the wall and climb out.
Holy shit! Qinggong! This is Qinggong!
Bao Taozi was so excited that if it wasn't on his back, he would have jumped up!
Bao Taozi, who has always loved watching martial arts movies and TV shows, feels like he has successfully chased a star.
The man in black jumped on the eaves with a bag of peaches on his back, and soon landed in the courtyard of General Weiyuan's mansion.
There were already two people waiting in the yard.
Bao Taozi stopped and looked over. He saw a large man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a murderous look on his face, and a figure as straight as a pine tree. This must be General Weiyuan. The young man behind him was probably a servant.
Bao Taozi bowed politely and said, "My humble servant greets General Weiyuan."
"Get up! Is the news you spread today true?"
"Of course it's true, but I dare not joke with the general."
"Then come with me! If you can really cure my Song'er, I'll agree to anything you ask, as long as it's not something outrageous!"
Bao Taozi followed.
After several twists and turns, they arrived at a courtyard.
"General, before you start treating me, I need to tell you something. The young master's illness is poisonous. Over the years, although he has behaved like an idiot, he is still conscious."
General Weiyuan's eyes widened in shock. "What they mean is, my son was murdered! And he's been conscious all these years!"
"That's right."
The general took a deep breath and endured the punishment while conscious. How vicious was the person who poisoned him!
