Chapter 142: Imperial Ink Pavilion
As soon as these words came out, Mo Guifei clapped her hands again and again and said: "Yes, yes, how did this palace not think that if you want Your Majesty to eat Coptis dumbly, you can only publicize this matter in front of everyone, at that time, no matter how the third prince quibbles, how the girl denies it, and how Your Majesty covers the sky with one hand, I am afraid it will be useless!"
Mama Xi nodded, thought of something, frowned and asked, "It's just that this is the time, I'm afraid I have to wait."
Mo Guifei smiled coquettishly and said, "What's so difficult about this, isn't June 16 the birthday of our Qiling County Lord?" I heard that Qi Ling will hold a tea party every year, and the imperial capital will gather with nobles, isn't it a good time? ”
When Mama Xi heard this, she said: "That's right, Niangniang is smart, Niangniang is really smart!"
Mo Guifei smiled, "But before that, we still have a lot to do, what is the movement of the Nanren faction?" ”
Mama Xi paused, and then said: "They have been nesting in the official's square recently, and the old slave heard that the ice spirit of the Flame Division has been eyeing them, and now they are searching everywhere for the downline of the Nanren faction, but I am afraid that they will not be able to do anything recently."
Mo Guifei frowned, "How can the Flame Division be so good at targeting the Nanren faction?" Do you know who reported the news? Did Bing Luo find the official shop? ”
"Not really, the official workshop is open day and night to do the skin and meat business, the Flame Division has its own ancestral training, and no one in the door is allowed to enter and leave the place of fireworks, not to mention, the southerners have only been sent to the imperial capital for more than a year, and there are not many people who really know, let alone the official workshop? It's just that where the news leaked from, the old slave has not yet found out. ”
Mo Guifei said: "Intensify the investigation." The Nanren faction is the only force in the palace, and it can't let the enemy notice anything abnormal, and send a message to the ancestral hall of the Nanren faction, so that his subordinates can always keep the spirit of the palace, but don't drink and grind one by one without restraint, and fall on those officials one by one and can't get up! ”
Mama Xi immediately responded: "Yes."
Concubine Mo stretched out her slender jade-white left hand, playing with the golden sapphire tortoiseshell on her fingers, and muttered: "June 16 is just around the corner, we still have a lot of things to do, the third prince can't stay in the palace all the time." I had to move out of the palace before that day. Also, the palace hasn't seen Qi Ling for a few days, and after two days, I asked the child to come into the palace to meet, thinking that the palace and the eldest princess were good sisters who married Jinlan. ”
Mama Xi replied, "Yes." The old slave will arrange this. It's been chattering for so long. I want to come to the mother, and I am tired. It's better to rest and rest early. ”
When Mo Guifei heard this, she stretched lazily, "Yes." This day is stuffed with such a big thing on the stomach, how comfortable, the weather has become hotter and hotter recently, the palace is uncomfortable, but in front of His Majesty to be shy and pitiful, in front of the queen's wife to smile, if you go to Shouren Palace to force a smile, Mama does not know that the palace is tired and panicked! ”
As she spoke, Mo Guifei pulled out the protruding object on her stomach, and when she looked closely, it turned out to be a cotton bag filled with silk cloth, the size of a bowl, and it was just like being pregnant for more than five months when she was stuffed on Mo Guifei's belly.
Xi Mama's face turned pale with fright, and while grabbing the cloth bag and stuffing it into her sleeve, she said in horror: "Niangniang can't help it, but you can't help it!" What if it was known to outsiders? The crime of bullying is no joke. ”
Concubine Mo was tired of hearing this, and said lazily: "This palace knows, this palace knows." Aren't you and me the only ones now? Don't worry, I know the measure outside the main palace. ”
Mama Xi wiped the sweat from her forehead and sighed, "That's good, that's good." Niangniang has to endure all kinds of discomfort carefully, now it is more than five months of body, according to the plan but August Mid-Autumn Festival, we can give birth to the prince smoothly, Niangniang can not be careless for a while. ”
Mo Guifei pursed her lips and smiled: "Look, Mama, you are in a hurry, such an important plan, this palace has been planning for so many years, in order to not only give birth to a prince, but also to get the Qinghe Palace into the cold palace, otherwise it will be in vain for this palace to work hard to get pregnant for so long!" Are the pregnant women who are being raised? The diet must be thoughtful, the weather is hot, can you add more mung bean white fungus bird's nest? Have the doctors been to check the pulse? Are you sure you're pregnant with a boy? ”
Xi Mama replied carefully: "Rest assured, the slaves and maids over there are asking the letter day by day, the pregnant women are all fine, and the diet has always been careful and thoughtful, it has been hot recently, the bird's nest of mung bean and white fungus lotus seeds has never been broken, and the four doctors probed the pulse every three days, and they all said that they were pregnant with a boy, and the pregnancy was good, and the pregnant women were all strong and strong, and the midwife had stepped up her search in secret, and she could live in the past in a few days."
Mo Guifei nodded with satisfaction, "That's very good." Then the palace happily conceived a child for a few more months, and carefully planned the birth of Qi Ling. ”
Mama Xi smiled and said, "Yes."
The master and servant closed the doors and windows and whispered during the day, and Qi Niang, who was hurrying out of the palace, finally came to the Imperial Ink Workshop.
Speaking of this Royal Ink Workshop, it really has a personality. Not to mention the orderly arrangement in front of this ink workshop, the half-human high ink strip-like ink tablet, not to mention that each ink tablet is carved with large and small calligraphy masters, talents, politicians for the imperial ink workshop of all kinds of praise and various recommendations, just on the portraits of all kinds of beauties, talents and even handsome generals hanging high in front of its door are enough to make Qi Niang stop for a long time.
Tsk, this is a naked use of beauty to attract customers! Look, the people on the portrait are really rich, there are young young ladies specially prepared for young men, young young women who specialize in the appetite of uncles, bewitching specially prepared for lustful local tyrants, and all kinds of handsome talents that little ladies like, brave generals, chivalrous warriors, and even a portrait of the enchanting in Xuanwu Yicheng!
Qi Niang stood on the huge portrait that had been carefully framed on the top, and praised it.
I can't see it, I can't imagine that the guy has changed into a big red cloak, an obsidian waist, draped with green silk, so casually standing under the plum blossom tree in the snow, and then looking back and smiling evilly......
Oops, demons, demons!
Look at the skin is so good, set off by the white snow behind him, it looks more and more jade-like, and the seductive little eyes, as long as you are looking at him, you will think that the guy is staring at you with affection, Qi Niang has tried, no matter which direction you stand in! How could she not know after such a long period of contact? It turns out that there is such a potential stock around me who can become a lady!
Look at the slim little ladies under the pillars, either whispering with the people around them and occasionally looking at them shyly from time to time, or hiding in the corner of the pillars and looking back with affection, tsk, they are all fascinated by that guy!
It's really a powerful electric eye, and the ancient version of the heartthrob is also!
However, the advertising effect of the Royal Ink Workshop is really good, look at these people who come to Mu Meise, bustling as if they are on the street, and then look at the guys holding the Royal Ink in and out, this business is not just a hot one!
Qi Niang thought, shouldn't her Yujinfang also advertise?
Thinking like this, Qi Niang went in. Immediately, an enthusiastic mother-in-law greeted her, greeting and saluting.
Qi Niang waved her hand coldly, and let Chu Qing, who followed behind her, reward a certain amount of silver, and then said: "This girl came to buy Yan Mo and asked your shopkeeper to come and see her."
The woman's eyes lit up at first, and when she heard this, she was stunned again, and the folds on her face were clearly visible with a smile, and the heavy fat powder was in a mess, so she hurriedly went to report.
Not long after, an old man with white hair and beard came over and welcomed Qi Niang and the others to the third floor of the top floor.
Qi Niang wondered, why the Imperial Ink Pavilion is the same as the Imperial Jinfang, no matter how big the foundation is repaired, this floor will be built with three floors, one layer is no more, one layer is not less, one layer remains the same, it seems that the Wang family is still quite conservative in their bones.
When Qi Niang sat down, the old man personally served tea and retreated.
Qi Niang was stunned in her heart, what's the matter, isn't this old man the shopkeeper?
Before she could figure it out, the smoky blue curtain on the east side was lifted, and then a young man stepped forward with a straight face. Qi Niang looked, at most in her early twenties, very tender. It won't be the shopkeeper's grandson, or it's his son, or the old shopkeeper of the Yumo Pavilion is sick or gone, so he let his son and grandson come over.
Yes, it must be!
But without waiting for Qi Niang to figure out her thoughts, the little brother said directly: "Yan Mo is scheduled to arrive at the beginning of next month, the deposit is ten taels of silver per piece, and the price is thirty taels of silver per piece, and one hundred Yan Mo has been set for eighty-six yuan next month, and at most fourteen yuan can only be booked, and the deposit is one hundred and forty taels of silver, please pay it in person, the shop never takes credit!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand as if he wanted to take the money.
This time Qi Niang is a little hot. What kind of attitude, when he saw people at a young age, he looked like others owed him money, and he put on that stinky face for fear that others would not know.
Qi Niang took a sip of tea slowly, pursed her lips, and said, "This little brother, how do you think that this girl will set the remaining fourteen pieces of Yan Mo in one go?"
Such an arrogant person, she decided to have a good pastime.
When the words fell, I saw that the young baby's face did not change, and he continued to say with a straight face: "It's not a little brother in the next place, the fifth-generation shopkeeper of the Royal Ink Fang, surnamed Bing, repeat, a piece of Yan Mo, a deposit of ten taels, a final payment of twenty taels of silver, and the first day of June will be delivered."
In other words, this ice shopkeeper thinks that Qi Niang can only order a piece of Yan Mo.
When Qi Niang heard this, the fire in her heart rose a few times, and she sneered, "The ice shopkeeper is really as good as his name, such a cold face with frost, but now the sky is close to June and a layer of frost will be frozen!" "Qi Niang doesn't know which eye of the ice shopkeeper sees that this girl just wants to order a piece of Yan Mo? The shopkeeper's young age is so preconceived and random guesses, I don't know if this is a unique style of the Imperial Ink Pavilion? (To be continued......)
