"How much is this bright yellow one?"
"More than 800?"
"Sixth Prince, let's each buy one. I'll use the money from my invention. I successfully applied for a patent, and someone wanted to buy my design and gave me 2,000 yuan. We can both keep warm. You're always out, and I'm a bit cold indoors. The Crown Prince doesn't mind, as he often walks around indoors, so I'll give you one."
The counselor applied for a patent for the new broom he developed. Although it felt ordinary and not particularly practical, its unique design led it to be bought by an acrobatic troupe famous for stilt walking, which used it for mopping the floor after performances.
"for you."
Just as the counselor was about to pay, the Sixth Prince grabbed his hand.
"I appreciate your kindness, but if we wear it back, we'll have to hide it. Besides, we didn't buy anything for Mr. Ji. That's not good. What if we both lose our jobs because of it? It's not worth it. Since winter is almost here, I have an immature idea. We can take this 2,000 yuan and go hunting."
The reason why the Sixth Prince came up with this idea was because he saw people wearing furs on the street, and he felt that if he could make one for the Emperor and let him wear it when he went to court, no, when he went to the palace, he would definitely look very handsome.
"Sixth Prince, you said that wearing animal fur was cruel in ancient times. That's cruel. But in today's highly developed society, aren't we advocating for harmonious coexistence between humans and animals? And using their fur to make clothes? I can't do that. It's below standard."
"What if it's made from the fur of the Four Pests?"
"Flies and mosquitoes are out of the question. Their skins are too small. They can only be made into armor, not clothes. You'd have to keep swatting them to death. Cockroaches, however, are a bit of a possibility."
"I'm talking about rats."
"Sixth Prince, what you said terrifies me, so I decided not to do it. You can go by yourself."
"Come back here."
The Sixth Prince called his adviser back and whispered with him.
"Sixth Prince, are you saying we should buy a rat extermination company? There are no bacteria there?"
"That's nothing. A lot of people nowadays wear mink fur and the like. It's made from rats."
"This, this is too scary. How many mice would be needed?"
"Just do as I say. Also, give one to the Crown Prince and Director Ji."
"Will it be too smelly? And not everyone on the street wears it. Maybe it's fake fur? I've heard there's something called eco-friendly fur."
After the counselor finished speaking, the Sixth Prince's eyes rolled.
"Wait, that makes sense. If it's fake hair, how do you make it?"
"Sixth Prince, I think we should go back and ask Director Ji. After all, she has been here longer than us, so she must know more than us."
"What the hell? I flatter her all the time because she's rich, but who knew she never gives anything away? Shouldn't she take from the people and give back to the people? She watched us perform, and she even said we were shameful. If we didn't get a big box on the street, how would we make ends meet these days? We just paid the water and electricity bills, didn't we? To me, relying on others is useless. In every dynasty, you have to earn your own living, otherwise you will be eliminated by society. Besides, what kind of waves can a woman's opinion cause?"
"Are you talking about me? Sixth Prince."
