"What, the prince actually said that he had ambitions for that Gu Xiaowu?!" As soon as she heard the news, Miss Gu Si couldn't help but be shocked in her heart, and suddenly stood up from the Taishi chair.

She got up in a hurry, brought her sleeves to the edge of the table, and overturned the table together, and the set of Ruyao Sanqing tea sets that had just come out of the official kiln were swept to the ground, and after a sound of "ping pong", it was broken into a pile of broken porcelain.

The second lady looked at the fragments on the ground distressedly: "Daughter, why are you so angry? ”

The fourth lady glanced at the debris on the ground angrily, and sneered: "But a set of tea sets produced by the official kiln, what's the pity, wouldn't it be enough to buy another set?"

The second lady said bitterly: "This is not an ordinary tea set, this is what I spent five hundred taels of silver, and I made a special trip to ask the master who painted the tea set to draw a sample paper, and then made a special trip to ask Master Lu, the most famous master in the official kiln, to make it himself." I originally wanted my daughter to evaluate it, but I didn't want to break it all at once. Alas, it's a pity for me for five hundred taels of silver. ”

The fourth lady said impatiently: "Mother, don't howl anymore, five hundred taels of silver, I think fifty taels is too much." What a play, such a thing wants to fool your daughter and me. ”

The second lady was stunned for a moment, coughed a little, then smiled, looked at the fourth lady flatteringly, and said, "Good daughter, didn't my mother look at you sadly these days, so I will bring you something new and interesting to have fun?" This silver ...... Hey. The second lady laughed dryly, "We are between mother and daughter." What's there to worry about?"

The fourth lady glared at the second lady angrily. There's no way, her mother is such a "two" person, and she knows the price all day long. also made fun of his own daughter. However, is she Miss Gu Si so easy to deceive? Therefore, after the second lady was exposed, she was always cheeky and used her smile that had not changed for thousands of years to cater to her. She can't help the second lady, after all, she is her biological mother, no matter how she says it, she has to remember the love between mother and daughter, right?

"Mother. Tell me, what does the prince mean when he says this to Gu Xiaowu?" Miss Gu Si was furious. The tone is rather unkind.

The second lady took a sip of the mulberry almond tea on the table, and said nonchalantly: "What else can this mean, the prince has taken a fancy to Gu Xiaowu!"

As soon as he looked up, he suddenly saw the fourth young lady looking at him as if she was going to eat people. That's when she realized she had said the wrong thing. Hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Good daughter, I don't mean anything else." I mean, according to common sense, if one person says to another person that he has ambitions, he is probably looking at someone else. As for the crown prince......"

The second lady shook her head: "It's hard to say, it's hard to say." ”

A glimmer of hope rose in the fourth lady's heart, and her eyes stared at the second lady: "Mother, say it quickly, what is difficult to say?"

The second lady took another sip of tea. Fang Dao: "Good daughter, if you are an ordinary person." Generally speaking, saying such things is mostly a good thing. But this prince heard that his temperament was different from others, and his mind was unpredictable. It's like the incident that happened some time ago, Lord Fan Kunfan, do you remember, that is, the capital of the original Yulin Army, the prince was talking and laughing with him the day before, and after a day, he ordered someone to take him down. Therefore, the prince's mind is very unpredictable. ”

The fourth young lady rolled her eyes: "Mother, do you mean that the prince may just talk casually, not to take a fancy to Gu Xiaowu?"

The second lady nodded: "Good daughter, have you ever heard that the prince has a heart for any woman? The crown prince is going to inherit the unification in the future, everyone understands what the queen mother means, it's okay to play, you really want to sit in the position of the crown princess, it depends on your background, and the strength of your mother's family. ”

The fourth young lady nodded thoughtfully. Fang Cai was dizzy from anger, but now she calmed down and thought about the second lady's words seriously, and then realized that she was too nervous.

"But..."The fourth lady said viciously, "Gu Xiaowu must not stay, there is no guarantee that one day the prince really takes a fancy to her, so what should we do?" Everything must be prepared for a rainy day, otherwise it will be too late." ”

The second lady said proudly: "Good daughter, I have already thought about this matter for you, mother, and not long after, isn't Gu Xiaowu going to Jiangzhou? ”

The fourth lady's eyes lit up instantly: "Mother, have you thought of any good ideas?"

The second lady didn't speak, but dipped her hand in tea and wrote a few words on the table.

"Jiangzhou to do it?" The fourth lady's eyebrows stretched, and her face was full of smiles: "To be honest, Jiangzhou is indeed a good place." ”

Seeing that her idea had won her daughter's favor, the second lady immediately took a step closer to the fourth lady and said, "Good daughter, I have come up with a great idea for you, so can you repay my mother and come up with a good idea for me?"

The fourth lady glanced at the second lady: "Is it a congratulatory gift on the queen mother's birthday?"

"What else can there be besides this?" the second lady said with a sad face, "I've been thinking about this for the past two days, and my head is about to explode when I think about it, and even the eldest lady of the Huang family, who is a soldier in the south of the city, asked me to play the leaf card, but I am not in the mood to go." Alas, good daughter, you say there is nothing in the palace? Even if I gave it away, I thought it was very cheap. ”

The fourth lady said nonchalantly: "If you talk about gold, silver and jewelry, there must be much more in the palace than us, but if it is an antique, it is not necessarily." ”

The second lady's eyes lit up instantly, and her body sitting on the Taishi's chair straightened up: "Good daughter, tell your mother quickly, what good ideas have you come up with?"

The fourth lady put down the account book in her hand, thought for a while, and said: "Not long ago, a sister of mine in Yangzhou, in a letter to me, mentioned that they are rich in lacquerware in Yangzhou, which seems to be called a snail lacquerware, which is made of shells, luminous snails, etc., refined into thin snails like cicada wings, and then dotted the thin snails on the lacquer blank, so it is called a snail, which is very distinctive. Why don't you think about it?"

When the second lady heard this, she was overjoyed and said: "Yes, yes, the queen mother may not have seen these folk crafts, and besides, we can replace the snail pieces with precious materials, such as gold, silver, jade or something......"

The more the second lady thought about it, the more excited she became: "I'll ask someone to find an acquaintance in Yangzhou, figure out the production process, and then let the masters there carefully make a piece, and I must be able to make a big show at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet!"

The fourth lady looked at her mother with a smile. It seems that his mother is not too stupid, and she can understand it at all. As long as the materials are replaced with more expensive ones and unique styles, it is difficult for the Queen Mother to remember the Yuanning Marquis Mansion and not to remember them.

Although the second lady is inferior to others in terms of strategy, she is very popular in terms of human sophistication. If she wants to find someone, Dongtuo is alone, Xituo is alone, no matter what province that person is in, as long as he is not dead, she can always find that person.

So, within two days, she got the news and found one of the most famous local lacquer masters in Yangzhou to make a lacquer plate to congratulate the Empress Dowager on her immortality and longevity than Nanshan, worth more than 10,000 taels of silver, which took a month.

The second lady took the order, looked at the amount of silver marked on it, and frowned for a long time. Turned around and went to find Miss Four.

The fourth lady was not too surprised, and also inquired and warned the second lady: "Mother, you can't always stare at the silver with a pair of eyes, and you should take a long-term view." If it is something made of a few thousand taels of silver, can it enter the eyes of the empress dowager? Maybe the empress dowager still thinks that our Yuanning Marquis Mansion deliberately prevaricated and took some inconspicuous things to fill up the number, and if he gets angry, it will be more than worth the loss. ”

The second lady nodded again and again, thought about it, and said, "Spending so much money from the public at once, the old lady is ...... You won't have any opinions, will you?"

The fourth lady sneered: "Mother, what do you think the old lady is, she will be reluctant to give up this mere 10,000 taels of silver? I think back then, before the old lady was knighted, she was just a pawn of a merchant in the market. Therefore, the old lady is shrewd, and no one is as clear as she is!"

The second lady said happily: "I'll go back to the old lady." (To be continued......)
