Chapter 249: It's a Good Opportunity

"The Yan family wants to transport tribute ......"

Shu Xiuhe paced, pondering this matter with his hands behind his back, and after walking a few laps, he asked Mei seriously, "Are you sure the news is true?" ”

Mei nodded affirmatively, "When Hua Niang said this, she didn't hide it, and the little maid who passed by heard a few words, and she was almost the same as Chun'er." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Tribute...... The Queen's 40th Birthday...... Bright yellow silk ......"

Shu Xiuhe muttered these words repeatedly, and at the end, he said: "When I go to check the news, I will go to my father-in-law to see if I can know if there is any major construction in the Sifu Fang." ”

The service workshop is a workshop dedicated to cutting clothes for the master of the palace, approaching the queen's birthday, if the queen's house is to accept the worship of the court clothes on the same day, then it is now to start cutting, if it has not started, it means that it is waiting for the tribute of the Yan family.

The "bright yellow" that Shu Yanhua said in his mouth made Shu Xiuhe's heart move, only His Majesty, the Queen Mother, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can wear bright yellow in the whole world, and even Emperor Wan's concubine can't wear it, so he is very sensitive to the word "bright yellow".

If the queen really wants to wait for the Yan family's batch of bright yellow gold silk materials to make court clothes, if the Yan family can't transport it in time or the gold silk is gone......

It not only delayed the queen's court clothes, but also missed the time to cut the court clothes, which is if the queen has no new court clothes to wear on her 40th birthday......

Thinking of this, Shu Xiuhe's heart was hot, making the queen embarrassment on such a big day, even if the Yan family was Shu Hongxuan's maternal grandfather, I am afraid that it would not be able to calm the anger of the queen mother, right?

"I'm going out to find my father-in-law now!" Shu Xiuhe hurriedly finished saying this sentence and hurried out.

......

"If this is true, this is indeed a good opportunity for us!"

After listening to Shu Xiuhe's words, Mei Shangshu immediately thought of being with him, there was nothing that could make the Yan family unlucky more than embarrassing the queen mother.

His Majesty attaches great importance to the 40th birthday of the Empress Niang, and has already instructed the court and the central government to prepare for the Empress's birthday several months in advance.

It also coincides with the reappearance of a thousand gold silk in the world, the Yan family wants to give the queen a thousand gold silk I am afraid that there is also the idea of making the Yan family more beautiful by the light of the queen mother, in the day of the queen mother's 40th birthday, all courtiers and family members will have the opportunity to enter the palace to congratulate the queen mother on her birthday, at that time, as long as the queen mother wears the court dress of the Yan family's gold silk, even if the Yan family is unsuccessful in running for the emperor five years later, its position can be secure.

There is no more sought-after material than the mother of a country, no wonder the Yan family has to fight for the emperor's business, and the silver in the final campaign auction actually came out to 200,000 taels, which turned out to be an opportunity to make a big show in the 40th birthday of the queen's mother.

Mei Shangshu figured out the key to it, and felt that the Yan family's abacus was very good, if the calculation for the Yan family was successful, it would be difficult for them to deal with the Yan family again, even if they came up with other means to deal with the Yan family in the future, they would not be able to reduce the reputation of the Yan family-the material favored by the mother of a country, what qualifications do you have to dislike it?

It's just that if the Yan family miscalculates, it will not only be the queen mother who will be offended, the first and second person to offend is His Royal Highness the Prince.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a very filial person, if the Yan family makes the queen embarrassment on such a major day, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely not have a good face to show the Yan family.

Even Your Majesty, I'm afraid I won't care about Shu Hongxuan's face anymore.

You can even please the second prince's mother, Wanhuang Guifei, although Wanhuang Guifei is the imperial concubine, but she can't wear bright yellow, according to Wanhuang Guifei's competitive nature, she can only grit her teeth and watch the queen show off, but now, she can use this to make Wanhuang Guifei happy.

It's a win-win-win.

Mei Shangshu narrowed his eyes slightly, "If you calculate it according to the schedule, it is very likely that the Yan family's caravan will depart from Jinzhou in the next few days, this matter is urgent, you go home first, and I will go to find out the news." ”

.......

"Second Highness, the news is already true, the Yan family is indeed going to transport a batch of tribute to the queen, and the old minister feels that this is a good opportunity for us to do it."

Mei Shangshu took Shu Xiuhe to see the second prince, explained the situation one by one, and said his opinion on this matter at the end.

"Oh? A great opportunity to get your hands dirty? You mean......" The second prince asked, his heart moved.

"Second Highness, we can make the Yan family's team transporting tributes never arrive in Shangjing."

Shu Xiuhe arched his hand towards the second prince and said.

"As long as the Yan family's tribute can't reach Shangjing, the Yan family wants to get another batch of gold wires, it's not so easy, it is said that this batch of materials took three months to make it, where is there still three months left for the Yan family?"

The second prince bowed slightly, and shook his head at the end, "You are right, but even if the Yan family's tribute cannot be transported to Beijing, there is no loss to the queen's mother, and the gold silk is gone, then use other materials, it will not be delayed, the service workshop will not wait for the Yan family's gold silk, they must have expected the situation, they will definitely prepare spare court clothes for the queen mother, if this move is only for the Yan family, it is not worth the big fight." ”

"Your Highness, you also know how long it takes for the tailor of the court clothes, what if the people in the costume workshop don't have time to prepare spare court clothes for the queen?" Shu Xiuhe smiled slightly.

"You mean......" The second prince looked at him with raised eyebrows.

"The workmanship of the imperial concubine's court dress must be equally exquisite and complex, so as to be worthy of the identity of the imperial concubine." Shu Xiu and the Tao of compliments.

"Let the people in the service workshop have no time to prepare spare court clothes for the queen, so that the tribute of the Yan family cannot reach Beijing, which can make the queen make a big fool on her birthday." Mei Shangshu also said with a smile.

The second prince's eyebrows moved, and he slowly smiled, "This is a good opportunity." ”

"That's right, the timing here is very important, you can't start too early, if you do it too early, the Yan family will definitely sue the queen mother when they get the news that the tribute has been damaged, in that case, the service workshop will definitely make every effort to make the queen mother's court clothes. But we can't do it too late, if we get to Kannai Road, we can't do it, and if we are traced, we will get into big trouble. ”

Mei Shangshu said to the second prince very seriously: "Your Highness, this matter really needs to be considered carefully, if you are not completely sure, the old minister recommends not to do it." ”

The second prince lowered his head and pondered for a while, and after half a sound, he said: "Your Highness knows about this matter, you should go back first, and Your Highness will think about it again." (To be continued.) )
