Chapter 58: Great Value for Money
Bai Liyao's move in the palace made many people start to be honest, but here to punish a group of minions, there are things that have been ordered to be rewarded into the Anhui Palace.
It was the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who sent the things, and with a respectful and smiling attitude, he introduced the things that the lord had rewarded one by one, and also implicitly mentioned that the Ministry of Internal Affairs had not strictly disciplined the servants of the master with some words.
Baili Feifeng looked at the jewels and silk placed in the hall, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, except for the annual birthday and festivals, the palace will reward some things, but most of the things placed in his Anhui Hall are the rewards of the concubine.
There are a few pearls with round and jade pearls that are the size of a dragon's eye, as well as the cloud brocade that pays tribute in Yunzhou, although it is not as rare as the ice and snow silk, but there are a few people in the palace who use cloud brocade to make palace clothes......
Baili Feifeng thought about the scene when she first saw Baili Baoshu, she was only a few years old at that time, she ran out to play greedily, and heard laughter from a distance, she spent most of her time in her palace, how could she have seen such a lively scene.
I couldn't help but move forward, and when I got closer, I saw a girl of the same age as herself, wearing a scarlet palace dress, which was very good-looking, and the palace dress was embroidered with dancing butterflies.
From the other side, a toddler doll also ran over, wearing a bright yellow palace dress, looking very cute, although Baili Feifeng didn't know, hesitated and wanted to go forward, but was found by Mama in time, and stepped forward with a frightened face and quickly took himself away.
Baili Feifeng crawled behind Mama's arrow and looked ......, the bursts of laughter and frolic never belonged to him, and all he had was an inconspicuous little corner of the palace.
Although the same is flowing with the blood of the royal family, one has been respected as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Qiang Kingdom since he was born, and the other is His Royal Highness the eldest princess of the Qiang Kingdom, and she is just a second princess who has no sense of existence in the palace, even if her mother is in charge of the harem, she has never grown up by her mother's side.
"Princess, this cloud brocade is really exquisite, let Mama find some bright patterns in the future, the princess will definitely look good on her body", the attendant next to Baili Feifeng said with a smile.
"Put all these things up, put these ornaments out," Baili Feifeng said back to his senses.
When the An Hui Hall was almost cleaned up, Qi Qingwan brought the people in her palace over, and nodded secretly when she looked at the objects that had been put on the table.
"Mother concubine try, this time the red bean cake is made by Lu Kou with some dew, it is not as sweet and greasy as last time, it must be suitable for the taste of the mother concubine", Baili Feifeng looked in a good mood, and with a bright smile, he pushed a stack of exquisitely placed pastries on the table in front of Qi Qingwan.
"It's good", Qi Qingwan gave it a try, "These little things are rare for you to remember."
"What did the mother say, her daughter was stupid and didn't know how to make her mother feel relieved, and the mother must have worried a lot about her daughter."
Qi Qingwan looked at her daughter, who had always been sensible, and her heart was a little sour, her daughter, who had not been by her side since she was a child, didn't know how much she had been wronged before.
"You are my only daughter", Qi Qingwan said with a sigh.
"Mother Concubine", Baili Feifeng looked at Qi Qingwan with a sparkle in her eyes, "The mother concubine's daughter has always been worried that the mother concubine will not like her daughter, after all, her daughter has been ...... since she was a child."
"It's the mother concubine who is useless, I can't blame you for this", Qi Qingwan interrupted Baili Feifeng's words.
Baili Feifeng didn't grow up by Qi Qingwan's side when she was a child, and she already knew a lot of things when she came to ask Qi Qingwan for peace, even if it was her own mother and daughter, there were so many years between them, and it took time to get closer.
The mother and daughter talked for a long time in the side hall, and finally Qi Qingwanli asked Baili Feifeng to prepare before leaving, and waited for the evening to go to his father's side to thank him.
When Baili Baoshu woke up, he knew that Zhang Yurong was coming, and after cleaning his face, the magpie combed Baili Baoshu into a simple bun again.
In Tingfeng Pavilion set up a table of food, Baili Baoshu's taste was relatively light, drinking fragrant and soft glutinous porridge with his head down, Yu Guang glimpsed Zhang Yurong put down the porcelain bowl in his hand after a few bites, and refused the magpie's move to add rice on his behalf.
Baili Baoshu rinsed his mouth and hands slowly, stood up and walked along the cobblestone path to the back mountain of the villa.
Magpie and Nian Yao both left and followed behind, and Zhang Yurong walked beside Baili Baoshu, looking around at this mountain villa that was almost completely new compared to the last time.
"The skilled craftsmen I have worked hard to get through the Internet are still not comparable to His Highness's mountain villa at all."
"Learn the art of literature and martial arts, and the goods are with the emperor's family, but your courtyard is also chic, and it is more than enough for you, a fake Sven real copper stinky businessman", Baili Baoshu took a deep breath, and looked at the scenery on both sides of the trail with rare satisfaction.
"After the annual flower festival, the whole royal city is full of purple and red, and after looking at it for a long time, it is extremely comfortable to look at the lush greenery in the eyes."
The higher you go, the higher the terrain becomes, and the wider the field of view.
"Draw this entire mountain to the backyard of His Royal Highness, and make a big deal", so that Zhang Yurong, who has followed his father since he was a child, also has a heart to praise the scale.
Baili Baoshu smiled at the corner of his mouth, and looked at the green mountain in the distance, "This mountain villa and this mountain, there were several people who took a fancy to it at the beginning, but they didn't wipe their old faces and ask their father for it, but they will definitely regret it afterwards."
Baili Baoshu's beautiful eyes were full of sparkles, Zhang Yurong looked back for a moment by chance, and then he turned his eyes away and looked elsewhere.
"That deputy envoy of Hengyu Kingdom has come to Wangcheng", Zhang Yurong said calmly.
"En", Baili Bao responded, he couldn't help but come to the royal city, and stayed in his bedroom for a night, if others knew about Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of the Qiang Kingdom and after the ceremony, an unknown man appeared in the bedroom......
However, compared to the fact that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of the Qiang Kingdom went to the side without a sound and killed the lord of Hengyu Kingdom, no one would believe it even if Baili Baoshu said it himself.
left Heng Yuguo with a reason for mutual suspicion, so let Heng Yuguo's one slowly break his brain.
"The people over there in Shuicheng have all been arranged", Baili Baoshu asked, "I want you to pay attention to any news over there in Mobei."
"The Zhang family's business all over the country and its surrounding territories is something that the traveling merchants know, as for the Mobei side, there is no big deal, but since the fall of the Rong country, the territory of Mobei has also had a lot of fresh faces, and it seems that someone is secretly buying grain."
"This is natural, Heng Yuguo has gained a lot this time, and the Qiong clan also has a vague tendency to gather nomadic tribes in Mobei, these herdsmen are all fierce, and the war horses are also very ......good", Baili Baoshu said here and looked at Zhang Yurong with a slight frown, "If you want food, you can exchange war horses, the more the merrier."
Zhang Yurong pondered for a moment before he spoke, "After all, the Zhang family is a merchant, this ......."
"The Zhang family is a merchant, but the Zhang family is also the foreign family of the crown prince of Qiangguo", Baili Baoshu continued as if he could see through Zhang Yurong's thoughts, "You don't want to be in the limelight, aren't you still a big house?" After a few days, when my father is at ease, You'er should be out of ......the palace."
"I understand, I'll arrange the following things."
Baili Baoshu sat in a small pavilion halfway up the mountain to rest, Zhang Yurong stood on the side and looked far away, there were groups of Confucian students who came out to play, there were also a few carriages walking leisurely, and there were girls walking together not far away.
"Has that Zong Gongzi already left the Qiang Kingdom?"
"I left before the war", although Zhang Yurong was a little puzzled, Baili Baoshu would suddenly ask about this person, but he wouldn't ask more if he shouldn't know.
"Pay attention to his whereabouts in the future", Baili Baoshu said with a slight coldness in his tone, although Zhang Yurong didn't know what the reason was, he still nodded obediently.
"In two days, I will lift the curtain for the plaque given by my father, and there will definitely be many people who will come over that day, so ask your sister to bring the girls from the other two rooms of the Zhang family to come over." As soon as Baili Baoshu's words fell, Zhang Yurong's eyes lit up slightly, and finally he bowed to Baili Baoshu with a solemn expression.
"Thank you, Your Highness".
The old lady of the Zhang family thought that the Zhang family could come out with two scholars, but it was a pity that the Zhang family's son's business brains were turning fast, but when he encountered the Four Books and Five Classics and the like, one was quieter than the other, even if the three sons of the Zhang family were now in charge and the many heirs below said that reading was not bad, that is, Zhang Yurong.
It's just that this guy can only barely be regarded as a Sven scum, and the ink in his stomach is also for the merchants.
However, many of the daughters of the Zhang family are all just growing up, and now they are only talking about marriage with a concubine in the long room and a concubine born in the concubine room, and the others are waiting for the boudoir.
The daughters of the Zhang family are very good-looking, not to mention anything else, they also know the appearance of Baili Baoshu, and the family background is like this, but most of the people who come to ask for marriage are also eye-catching merchants that Fang Yuan can see.
Take the second room as an example, Lu's background is already considered a scholarly family, and the only concubine under his knee is about to talk about the time of marriage, and there are many courtesy, but how could the daughter of Lu's daughter who has been taught by herself since she was a child be willing to let her marry into a merchant casually.
Zhang Yurong mentioned this matter to the Lu family when he went back, and even Zhang Jize inevitably asked a few questions.
It was the first time that the big house had a bright smile on the second room, and the Ding family in the third room also brought his daughter over, and the three brothers of the Zhang family all got together rarely.
This time, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has the heart to mention her grandfather's house, although since Her Royal Highness the eldest princess returned to her grandfather's house once, the Zhang family has sent some things to the villa from time to time, but it is also worth it to get such an opportunity.
