Chapter 104: Nothing to turn around
Cao Ying's face turned red when she heard this, and she was shy and bowed her low, and Master Cao waved her hand impatiently to signal her to retreat: "If your cousin is angry, why do you need to use these means for your father!" ”
Cao Taishi mentioned the three princes, Cao Ying couldn't speak at all, so she had to be blessed and retreated, and after exiting the study, she sneered slightly, secretly thinking in her heart, even if it is a cousin, what is the use, isn't the meaning of the saint clear enough? King Gong is just to let his cousin be a deferential prince, not to mention that the crown prince has been in charge of the country for several years, how can he continue to let one of his relatives control the court.
Cao Ying smiled coldly, if it weren't for the fact that his sister had not been pregnant for many years in the Prince's Mansion, how could he let himself enter the Prince's Mansion, to put it simply, she and her sister were just pawns in her father's hands. As the daughter of the Cao family, Cao Ying sees it very clearly, but what does it matter if the chess pieces are there, as long as she can stand beside the man who is like a god, she is a chess piece, and she is willing.
After Liu Xuan returned home, he asked Xiao Gong to come.
She told Xiao Gong in detail about her cooperation with Princess Xue Jun, and said that fifty or five points, Xiao Gong nodded and praised: "The girl is very calculating, she can open up sales channels through the hands of Princess Xue Jun, and then she can sell it herself, this deal is really cost-effective." ”
Liu Xuan called Xiao Gong to obviously not let him praise her, and immediately said his own arrangement: "Today, you will take half of the batch of Hangzhou silk transported by Chen Liang to the Zhuhai Embroidery Workshop, and by the way, the brocade cloth stored in the Zhenxiu Embroidery Workshop has been purchased at half the price of the current market, and then let Qian Tong take the four people of Qinqi, calligraphy and painting with a pint of incense to the Zhuhai Embroidery Workshop to measure. All use Hangzhou silk instead of brocade cloth, and the price remains the same. ”
Xiao Gong nodded and wrote them down one by one, although he knew that Liu Xuan had a deep meaning, but when he heard that the price remained unchanged, he couldn't help but ask: "After all, Hang Si is more expensive than Jinbu, I'm afraid it's not appropriate not to mention some prices, right?" ”
"What Xiao Gong said is very reasonable." Liu Xuan said with a smile: "It's just that I haven't finished saying this, but all those who come to order double-sided embroidered handkerchiefs will use Hangzhou silk instead of brocade cloth, and it must be stated at the time of delivery that all items of brocade spinning will be made of Hangzhou silk in the future, just like embroidered handkerchiefs, such small prices remain unchanged." The rest of the prices will be increased by 20%. Of course, this is only limited to the buyer who has paid the deposit within this month. ”
Xiao Gong was a little disapproving: "Although the girl's plan will attract a large number of guests to decide, but Hangzhou silk is a very expensive thing, although the girl is cheap, but it can also be sold according to the current price of Hangzhou silk." And why take the initiative to reduce prices? ”
Liu Xuan saw that he didn't quite understand what he meant. explained at the moment: "Xiao Gong doesn't know. This Chen Liang shipped Hangzhou silk is only the first batch, and there will be more Hangzhou silk sent to the capital in the future, if we sell it at the current price of Hangzhou silk. Although it can make huge profits, when will so many Hangsi be sold out? If we take the initiative to reduce the price, this Hangzhou silk only I sell, in addition to the embroidery workshop other shops will also come to buy, then we only sell Hangzhou silk is a sum of money, plus Xue Jun Princess after the promotion, Hangzhou silk will be able to prevail in Beijing, although we seem to have a small profit, but it is actually the biggest winner. ”
After listening to Liu Xuan's explanation, Xiao Gongwei was ashamed: "Compared with the girl, the old man is really short-sighted. ”
"Why should Xiao Gong be humble." Liu Xuan said with a smile: "Xiao Gong didn't know that I would have a large amount of silk into Beijing, so it is common to think like this. ”
For the steps given by Liu Xuan, Xiao Gong took advantage of the situation, he touched his goatee and said: "Since the girl intends to replace the brocade cloth with Hangsi, why do you want to buy the brocade cloth?" ”
Liu Xuan knew that Xiao Gong must have asked this question, so he told him his intention to buy brocade cloth, and then said: "These days, Xiao Gong might as well buy some cotton and other things that can be used to keep warm, and after purchasing brocade cloth, he will let the embroidery girl who originally made the brocade cloth into a jacket and make it wider." ”
Xiao Gong admired Liu Xuan for acting like this, and said at the moment: "The old man already knows what to do, don't worry, the old man will do it." ”
After Xiao Gong retired, Liu Xuan began to draw men's clothes patterns at the desk, although she had drawn some before, but now that it has been a month, these patterns are no longer new, if she wants to have a blockbuster effect, she naturally can't use the previous patterns.
After staying in the house for two days, the three new patterns were drawn, and Liu Xuan asked people to send the brocade to the embroidery girl as soon as possible.
After two busy days and finally had free time, Liu Xuan couldn't help but want to see how Yipinxiang was doing, although Qian Tong replied that Yipinxiang was several times better than Yizhou, but how could Yizhou be compared with Yizhou, not to mention that she had promised that Liu Zhiqing would select the best poems on the second floor, but she hadn't seen it in the past few days, and I don't know if Liu Zhiqing had gone to evaluate.
Liu Xuan thought about it and decided to go and see it in person, but she was really inconvenient as a woman, although she could change into men's clothes, but even if she was tied up and crowned, but her facial features were undoubtedly a woman, and she couldn't help but feel a little depressed at the moment.
Now that I think about it, the script is just a script after all, and without the legendary art of disguise, it would not be easy for a woman to walk outside disguised as a man.
Qiu Ju and Dong Mei saw that Liu Xuan was slightly depressed, they glanced at each other at the moment, and remembered the words from the third watch in the middle of the night from the commander of Long Yi, so the two stepped forward and hesitated and said, "If the girl is idle, you might as well go to the prince's mansion often to walk around." ”
When Liu Xuan heard this, she immediately looked at the two, and when she saw Qiu Ju and Dongmei shrinking their necks, she immediately understood, and she coughed lightly to hide her expression: "But someone came to pass the word?" ”
Dongmei smiled wryly, and stepped forward to add tea to Liu Xuan: "If you really can't hide anything from Miss's eyes, yesterday the commander of Long Yi specially came to pass the word, and asked the slaves and maids to remind the master to go to the prince's mansion when he has nothing to do." ”
Liu Xuan didn't quite understand, didn't she just see Li Che when Yipinxiang opened a few days ago? Why did Long Yi come to send a message to her to the Prince's Mansion in just a few days? Could it be that Li Che is looking for her for something? Thinking of this, she nodded and said, "In that case, let's go and see." ”
Hearing Liu Xuan's agreement, Qiu Ju and Dongmei both had smiles on their faces, and immediately instructed the servants to prepare the car, and even pulled Liu Xuan to sit down in front of the dresser. dressed her up and then accompanied her out and got into the carriage.
Liu Xuan arrived at the Prince's Mansion and got out of the carriage with the support of Qiu Ju Dongmei, and was about to step forward to let the guards guarding the door report, but the guards opened their mouths first: "Miss Liu, please." With that, a few of the guards turned sideways and made way for her.
Seeing this, Dongmei chuckled and whispered to Liu Xuan: "Miss see, now this Miss of the Prince's Mansion can enter without notification." ”
Qiu Ju also quipped on the side: "It's not just that there is no need to report, first there is a dragon commander to pass the word, and then there are guards to give way, but I am afraid that His Royal Highness Miss Si is thinking tightly, and he has already ordered the people in the mansion to introduce the house as soon as she comes." ”
Liu Xuan felt that her old face had been a lot thicker in the baptism of these two girls, and now she was able to not be ashamed of her face when she said this joke, and she just glared at the two of them with disgust: "Don't talk nonsense." ”
Qiu Ju and Dong Mei didn't take Liu Xuan's anger to heart at all. Still sneering. Liu Xuan couldn't and had to follow them.
When he entered the mansion, he was greeted by a small servant, and he looked at Liu Xuan is deep: "Miss Liu, please come with me, Your Highness is in the study." ”
Liu Xuan heard the slightly sharp voice of the little guy, and realized that this little guy turned out to be a father-in-law. He nodded and said, "I'm tired." ”
It is not surprising that Li Che is in the study, and Liu Xuan is not surprised. Nine times out of ten times she saw Li Che, she was in the study. He is a dignified prince who has a lot of things to do, how can he really think about himself as Qiu Ju and others said.
All the way to the door of the study with the little father-in-law, with the experience of the last time, Liu Xuan hesitated slightly: "Dare to ask the father-in-law." Your Highness is discussing with someone in the study? ”
The little father-in-law smiled when he heard this: "No, only His Highness is included, girl, please." ”
Hearing only Li Che alone, Liu Xuan was slightly relieved, she slowly pushed the door and saw Li Che sitting behind the desk at a glance, he was looking at something on the desk with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and when he heard the sound of pushing the door, he smiled and looked up, and saw that it was Liu Xuan who came and was slightly stunned, and then said lightly: "Why are you here." ”
Liu Xuan walked into the study slowly and did not answer, she saw clearly, Li Che stuffed the things he had seen before into a pile of folds at a very fast speed when he asked, Liu Xuan just entered the study, and the door behind him was closed.
She didn't seem to see Li Che's abnormal behavior, but she was secretly strange in her heart, listening to his words, she didn't seem to know that she would come today, and he had always been in control of everything, how could he have such a hasty behavior today.
Yes, Li Che's extremely quick move to hide things, although her expression remained unchanged and her face remained the same, but it gave her the feeling that she was a little hasty.
Liu Xuan half-lowered her eyes to hide the doubts in her heart, and then looked at his handsome face and said: "If you want to come, you will naturally come, if you don't want to, next time I will let Hu Yi come first to pass a word." ”
"Not necessarily." Li Che coughed lightly: "You naturally want to come here." ”
Hearing this, Liu Xuan looked at his deep eyes and smiled lowly, with a hint of playfulness in his smile: "You are so pampered, aren't you afraid that you will spoil me?" ”
Li Che looked at her playful color, his black eyes revealed a hint of light, and he didn't answer her words with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, but whispered to her: "Come here." ”
His voice was slightly pampered and low, and the low seemed to be inviting Liu Xuan with temptation, Liu Xuan looked at his handsome face with a little smile, and walked towards him involuntarily, and only reacted when he came to him with only one step.
She bowed her head slightly and stood aside,
However, as soon as she stood up, a bony hand held her, the big hand carried a warm body temperature, and as soon as the arm was closed, Liu Xuan was brought into a warm embrace.
Liu Xuan felt that she should not be ashamed, she had relied on his chest, and his palm had been held, but now sitting on his powerful thighs, feeling the hardness of his chest, and smelling the faint fragrance on his body, Liu Xuan still couldn't help but blush slightly.
She struggled slightly to get rid of that warm embrace, but she heard his low voice: "Don't move." ”
Liu Xuan stopped moving when she heard this, her body stiffened, and there was a warm breath he sprayed in her ears, but her heart suddenly became a little unhappy with her red face, and she pouted: "How many women have sat in His Highness's arms?" How many Xuan are there? ”
Li Che chuckled when he heard this: "I can't remember you before I know you, and you are the second after I know you." ”
The first one is Liu Xuan knows, she pursed her lips and struggled to get up: "Your Highness, don't make these beautiful men's schemes, Xuan is not that She Huanxue, this trick is useless to me." ”
Li Che raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and when he saw that she insisted on getting up, he didn't stop her, let go of the arm that was around her waist, and held her hand instead: "I knew that you were a jealous person, but I never thought that you would be so jealous." ”
He had already retreated Liu Xuan and couldn't get an inch, so he had to stand beside him and let him hold his hand, and snorted softly when he heard his words: "Your Highness has time to let me go now." ”
Li Che chuckled in a low voice: "Seeing your jealousy, this palace is very happy." ”
He actually said words of joy, Liu Xuan was a little speechless, and after a moment of silence, Li Che suddenly said: "You asked Xiao Gong to make a jacket, but you want to send it to the border?" ”
Liu Xuan nodded: "Those brocade cloths were collected by me at a low price, and the price of brocade cloth is even lower after Hangzhou Silk becomes popular, but it will take some time for Hangzhou Silk to prevail, and I can only take out so much at present." ”
Li Che wanted to ask obviously not this, he said in a low voice: "You did this for Deng Yu's sake?" ”
Liu Xuan nodded and shook his head: "He is only part of the reason, the most important thing is that he feels that the soldiers protect their families and defend the country, so that they can have the stability of the dynasty, but they are frozen in the severe cold, and they can't bear it." ”
Li Che muttered to himself in a low voice: "That part of the reason alone is enough. ”
His words were very light and a little vague, Liu Xuan didn't hear it clearly and couldn't help asking, "What did you say?" I didn't hear clearly. ”
"Nothing." Li Che sighed lightly and said: "You will definitely be loved by the frontier soldiers for acting like this, and after you are ready, I will send someone to the border pass." ”
Liu Xuan nodded, he was going to do it.
She glanced at the desk casually, but found a familiar figure, just a glance at Liu Xuan recognized it, she looked at the page that was pressed under the fold, revealing a corner of the page and couldn't help but smile secretly.
As if sensing her smile, Li Che asked softly, "Why are you laughing?" ”
Liu Xuan hurriedly shook her head: "It's okay, just smile." ”
Li Che naturally didn't believe such lies, his handsome eyes swept towards the desk, and he immediately saw the page that showed a corner.
He coughed lightly: "I have nothing to do and look at it at will." ”
Liu Xuan nodded kindly: "Your Highness has a lot of opportunities, and it is normal to have nothing to do." (To be continued......)
