Chapter 102: Tribute Porcelain
It is very difficult for two merchants to send a batch of porcelain to the concubine of the current dynasty.
After entering Shuzhou City, Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing had a lot of relationships, spent a lot of money, and finally didn't even see the history of Shuzhou.
The status of businessmen is too low, especially officials, and they don't want to have anything to do with businessmen, let alone a dignified history.
I don't know how much money was spent, when Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing were in despair, Yuan Suixiang, who had spent a lot of money to establish a plastic brotherhood, gave the two of them an idea.
Guifei Luan drove to Shuzhou, and almost all the local officials near Shuzhou came, not only that, but even Xian Yu Zhongtong, the envoy of Jiannan Daojiedu, also drove in Shuzhou City.
Officials and businessmen have the same idea, who would let go of such an excellent opportunity to hug the concubine's thigh? Xian Yu Zhongtong is not exempt from vulgarity.
In particular, the reason for the concubine to return to her hometown is the Shuzhou green kiln, and the Shuzhou green kiln was discovered by Xian Yu Zhongtong and named it herself.
So when the concubine's Luan was still on the road, Xian Yu Zhongtong came to Shuzhou from Yizhou and took over all the preparations for the hospitality, and Shuzhou Thorn Shi Peidi was kicked aside by him.
Yuan Suixiang told the two shopkeepers that the matter of offering porcelain to the concubine would be better if it was entrusted to Zhongtong.
The two shopkeepers were immediately moved, so they cautiously came to Xian Yu Zhongtong's temporary residence, made money as usual, and mentioned the porcelain kiln in Qingcheng County to his entourage.
Unexpectedly, the two shopkeepers didn't wait long, and the word came inside, and the marshal announced it.
The two shopkeepers were pleasantly surprised, and after seeing the legendary Jiannan Dao Jiedu envoy with excitement, they stood in front of Xian Yu Zhongtong as if walking on thin ice, and their smiles were particularly stiff.
Xian Yu Zhongtong was very kind, asked about some things about Qingyao, and took out the batch of unique plum bottles to watch, especially the poems on it, and marveled at Gu Qing's talent again and again.
Then Xian Yu Zhongtong told the two shopkeepers that he would definitely present this batch of tribute porcelain to the concubine Niangniang in person, of course, the words were also very subtle, and the meaning revealed in the words was obvious, the concubine Niangniang's golden body, you two businessmen could not see her, die of this heart.
Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing were not disappointed, it was an unexpected gain to be able to see Xian Yu Zhongtong in Shuzhou City this time, they never thought of seeing the concubine.
Leaving a one-of-a-kind plum bottle, Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing said goodbye and left.
…………
The mansion contributed by the wealthy merchants of Shuzhou became the temporary palace of Yang Guifei, Yang Guifei returned to Shuzhou City, and after meeting with several officials, she has been closed to thank guests, of course, some guests will not refuse, such as Xian Yu Zhongtong, aside from his identity as the envoy of Jiannan Dao, Yang Zhao, the cousin of the concubine, has also received the favor of Xian Yu Zhongtong before his career, others can not see it, but Xian Yu Zhongtong still has to see.
The temporary palace is very luxurious, before the concubine Niangniang returned to her hometown, the assassin Shi Peidi urged the rich businessmen to deliberately redecorate again, the pond and water pavilion in the palace are all available, and the bedroom where the concubine lives is even more magnificent.
Early in the morning, Yang Guifei sat in the pavilion, and the palace people prepared a wooden chair covered with bear skin for her.
Yang Guifei is in her thirties, but she is very well maintained, and she looks like she is only in her early twenties. The skin is as white as snow, the eyebrows are like willows, the eyebrows are lit with bright red three-leaf Lingdian, the nose is thin and the lips are slightly raised, the corners of the lips are slightly raised, the natural smile is friendly to the face, the most expressive is her eyes, clear and innocent, not stained with mortal dust, the peerless charm of Chu Chu and pitiful and wanting to talk can make all men in the world drunk in her eyes.
No matter from any point of view, she is worthy of the praise of "the posture of the country and the city". It's no wonder that when today's son worked hard for half his life, he gave up half of his life for her after all.
Yang Guifei is sitting in the pavilion with her cheeks on her cheeks at the moment, and the palace maid behind her is playing the honor guard of the nine-winged fan screen, and there are people holding incense burners, golden melons, jade ruyi and other ornaments, all of which are part of the honor guard of the concubine.
In the cold winter weather, it was very cold in the pavilion, the cold wind was whistling, a few pots of fires were lit in the four corners of the pavilion, and Yang Guifei was also surrounded by a thick cloak, but she still couldn't resist the cold around her.
The eunuch carefully persuaded her to go back to the palace to rest, but Yang Guifei shook her head and refused, staring at the ruined lotus leaves in the pond with her cheeks, her eyes glowing with a faint sadness.
Until she returned to her hometown, she and Li Longji were still having an awkward relationship, the old husband and young wife were already sad, not to mention that the husband was still today's son, and there were inevitably many other factors in the relationship between husband and wife.
Sometimes she really loves this young man because of his strength and because of his grace.
Sometimes I really hate this son of heaven, because she was forcibly taken away from King Shou, and she had to bear the scolding of the world, and because his heart was actually ruthless.
This time she was allowed to go back to her hometown to visit the tomb, her heart was still very grateful, but the knot was still difficult to solve, she even wanted to stay in Shuzhou forever, and she didn't know how to face Li Longji's embarrassment after returning to Chang'an.
The eunuch next to him stepped forward, bowed his waist and played carefully, and Jiannan Dao Jiedu made Xian Yu Zhongtong ask to see.
Yang Guifei came back to her senses, thought for a while, and allowed to see.
Seeing that Xian Yu Zhongtong's location was in the pavilion, Xian Yu Zhongtong was wearing a purple official uniform, bowed his head through the zigzag water pavilion, stopped in front of the pavilion, did not dare to look up, and bowed his head to salute.
Yang Guifei smiled and ordered someone to give a seat, Xian Yu Zhongtong thanked him, sat down for a while, stood up again, and said to Yang Guifei: "Guifei Niangniang, the minister heard that Niangniang was worried about her hometown, and her subordinates didn't know how to share her worries for Niangniang, and I heard that Niangniang was quite fond of Shuzhou celadon, so she ordered the owner of the porcelain kiln to fire a batch of unique plum bottles in the world, and offered Niangniang, wishing Niangniang Wanfu Jin'an." ”
Yang Guifei raised her eyes and said, "Shuzhou celadon? But the porcelain that was sent to the palace in the first place? Is it called 'Shuzhou celadon'? ”
"Exactly, this is the name of the minister, the bad name is vulgar, and it is not worth laughing at."
Yang Guifei said with a smile: "How can it be vulgar, the festival makes it really humble, this palace does have some love for this batch of porcelain, and has not returned to my hometown for many years, but I didn't expect that my hometown has a tribute porcelain that is not inferior to the world's famous porcelain, but it makes this palace quite proud of my hometown." …… Where is the Shuzhou celadon plum vase you said, show it to the palace. ”
Xian Yu Zhongtong smiled slightly, and asked the eunuch next to him to offer the porcelain outside the mansion.
Not long after, a beautifully made dark red sandalwood box appeared in front of Yang Guifei's eyes, and when she opened the box, Yang Guifei's eyes were shining, and she couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
More than a dozen small plum bottles with different glazes and different flower cases of the same shape lay quietly in the box, emitting dazzling brilliance, and the glass-like brilliance on the plum vase deeply shocked her.
Then Yang Guifei's eyes froze, and she gently held a plum bottle with her slender hand, and found a poem on it.
"It's hard to give up on your natural beauty, and once you choose to be on the king's side......"
Yang Guifei became more and more surprised, this sycophancy...... So direct! But people like it so much!
So she couldn't wait to pick up another plum vase, on which was written another poem: "Looking back and smiling, the six palaces have no color......
Yes!
Yang Guifei let out a girl's scream in her heart.
