Sima Dingyun hesitated: "Zheng Shizi, the form of the auction is indeed very good, but will anyone buy glass?" Do we need to add some other lots? ”

Zheng Sheng was confident, "No need. I believe it has this value, and the glass is enough to sustain an auction. And it can go on forever. ”

Sima Dingyun looked puzzled: "Although the glass beads are pure and bright, and they are indeed very good, I am worried that there will not be too many people participating in many auctions for it." ”

Zheng Sheng nodded, he understood his doubts, but Zheng Sheng had already planned it.

Suddenly, Zheng Sheng asked a strange question: "What is the king's favorite item?" Or does he have any cherished collections? ”

Sima Dingyun was a little confused, "Why did the prince ask about this?" ”

Zheng Sheng smiled silently.

"It's a copper ruyi." Sima Dingyun replied. This is not a secret, anyone who has lived in the palace for half a month will know about it. Instead of asking Zheng Sheng to inquire again, he might as well say it directly.

"Copper Ruyi?" Zheng Sheng was surprised.

Ruyi, of course he knows this thing. At this time, the powerful clans still liked this thing, and it was not surprising that Sima Chang liked Ruyi. But with copper Ruyi, Zheng Sheng felt a little weird. According to his temperament, shouldn't he like things like jade ruyi and jin ruyi?

"This tiger head bronze Ruyi was the beloved thing of King Wu in the early years, and before King Wu died, he gave it to the king." Sima Dingyun sighed.

"That's right." Zheng Shengji understood, it turned out to be left to him by Sima Jun.

"Not only that, this copper Ruyi was specially given to him by Emperor Xuan in front of everyone because of his excellent knowledge when King Wu was young."

Zheng Sheng was speechless, Sima Yi passed on Sima Jun, Sima Jun passed on Sima Chang, this is to be regarded as a family heirloom!

After listening to this secret, Zheng Sheng felt that when Sima Jun was young, he was very loved by Sima Yi as a scholar! But before he could grow up, Sima Yi died. So Zheng Sheng guessed again: Sima Jun probably used this Ruyi to commemorate his father.

But if this is the case, Zheng Sheng feels that the purpose of his contact with it may not be achieved.

Zheng Sheng had no choice but to resort to the last method: "Has Steward Sima seen this Ruyi?" Can you describe it to me. ”

Sima Dingyun was confused, but he still briefly described Ruyi's style to him.

"Why is Zheng Shizi interested in this copper Ruyi?" Sima Dingyun asked again.

Zheng Sheng summed up the style of this copper Ruyi: one foot long, straight handle, and the Ruyi head is carved with a pattern in the shape of a tiger's head.

Hearing Sima Dingyun's question again, Zheng Sheng no longer concealed it, "I plan to make a jade ruyi made of glass and give it to the king as an apology." ”

Sima Dingyun was stunned, and then he nodded: "Zheng Shizi has a heart." ”

After speaking, he hesitated for a moment before whispering another thing: "Zheng Shizi, my internal history has been purging the lawlessness in the city recently. You are in Shunyang, you must be careful. ”

Zheng Sheng didn't understand what he meant? Afraid that he will be guilty at the hands of my inner history? There's no need! and he does not break the law.

"My inner Shi Wei is very serious, and everyone is afraid of him. He was very dissatisfied with the fact that the king had spent money and built a large palace after he became a king, and he believed that Xia Xin and the Zheng family had cooperated in business, which had damaged the prestige of the county king, and reprimanded Xia Xin several times. Zheng Shizi, do you understand? ”

Zheng Sheng was speechless, Wu Yan was dissatisfied with Xia Xin, and naturally he was also dissatisfied with Zheng. But isn't this a bit unreasonable, just because he does business with the palace, he is not satisfied with him?

Ma Dan, this guy can't be the kind of official who discriminates against business and is dedicated to agriculture, right?

Zheng Sheng felt very tired.

Speaking of which, this is still Sima Chang's problem.

After driving out Zhao Lian, the imperial court quickly sent a second internal historian, but he only stayed in Shunyang for more than a month before he was driven away by Sima Chang on false charges.

At the beginning of March, the third term of the country, Shi Wuyan, took office.

Probably because the imperial court can't see Sima Chang continue to be presumptuous, the new Wu Yan is a ruthless person, his own character has nothing to say, and he is also a heavy fist to the chaos within Shunyang, capable and decisive, and he is a good official.

A few days ago, when Ren Ji reported the details of how many fires Wu Yan had burned since he took office to Qingzhuling, Qiu Fuzi praised him very much.

But the fire is about to burn on him! Zheng Sheng felt his scalp tingle.

In fact, Zheng Sheng is not afraid of bad guys, in the end, it is still an era of peace. Be reasonable in everything.

But he was afraid of a clean official, like Wu Yan.

Because his business with the palace damaged Sima Chang's majesty, Wu Yan was dissatisfied with him.

Zheng Sheng really had no choice but to avoid him.

Zheng Sheng was grateful to Sima Dingyun for sending him this information.

Xia Xin and he are both the internal managers of the palace, why is the gap so big?

Sima Dingyun was about to say goodbye, but before leaving, he hesitated for a moment before saying, "Zheng Shizi, glass Ruyi is to be refined in Qingzhuling, I don't know when you will go back?" When will it be fined? Can I take a look? After all, this is the business of the royal palace. ”

"Absolutely. If you go back today, you will be able to refine it early tomorrow morning. If Steward Sima has nothing else to do, come with me to Qingzhuling! ”

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany Shizi to Qingzhuling, but I'll go as soon as possible."

Seeing Sima Dingyun away, Zheng Sheng simply had lunch and planned to return to Qingzhuling. The reason why he is in such a hurry is that he completely wants to rush back as soon as possible and do this "play" well.

rode the carriage to the outside of the city, and when he arrived at the city gate, the carriage suddenly stopped, and a clear voice came in: "Is it Zheng Sheng of the Zheng family in the car?" ”

Zheng Sheng went out suspiciously, and saw that the people blocking his carriage were three teenagers on horseback.

Two of them were about seventeen or eighteen years old, and they were far from the carriage. There was only one young man who looked no more than two years older than him and a handsome young man was riding a horse to block the way of the carriage at close range, and the young man looked at Zheng Sheng with great enthusiasm: "As a man, it is really embarrassing for Zheng Pingzhi to ride in the carriage without riding a horse!" ”

Zheng Sheng is a little angry, what's wrong with being able to ride a horse, it's amazing! Zheng Sheng got off the horse leisurely, "I don't know how many names? Why are you stopping me from the city? ”

At this time, a young man not far away approached on horseback: "My name is Wen Wei, he is Wen Xiaoting, they are all from Qianjun, and the one over there is Wuzu." ”

Wen Xiaoting burst into tears and laughed, "Brother, don't just say my eldest brother's full name!" He does not call me feet, but my name is feet. ”

Zheng Sheng is still unclear about the origin of this Wen brother. But the surname of me, Zheng Sheng is clear, because my surname is too little, Zheng Sheng feels that except for the family of Shunyang Wu's internal history, there is probably no surname me in the world.

This Wuzu is naturally inseparable from Wuyan.

Thinking about this, Zheng Sheng immediately didn't want to stay longer, he hugged his fists: "There is an urgent matter below, I won't talk to you anymore, farewell!" ”

Zheng Sheng quickly returned to the carriage and motioned to the coachman to speed up and leave.

The three of them looked at the carriage in the distance, and Wen Xiaoting was stunned: "Brother, didn't we stop him to teach him a good lesson?" Why did you just let him run away like this? ”

I smiled bitterly: "Forget it, Zheng Shizi has no grievances with us, my father and Zheng Tan still have some old friendships, why bother with him." ”

"The prince of Tinghou is dedicated to business, so he should be taught a good lesson!" Wen Xiaoting shook off his horsewhip fiercely and said angrily.

Not to mention the three of them. Zheng Sheng's next journey was extremely smooth, and when he returned to Qingzhuling, Zheng Sheng forgot about Wen's and my feet.

He started to make molds non-stop, but Zheng Sheng found that it was too difficult to glue the sand into a qualified "Sha Ruyi", not to mention the tiger carved on it.

He gave up the practice of making molds. Zheng Sheng retreated this time, made more than a dozen long boxes with an inner length of one foot from Carpenter Li, and filled them with sand, which was regarded as a "mold".

Everything is ready, all you need is darkness.

It's not right, Sima Dingyun hasn't arrived yet. But Zheng Sheng got the news from Shunyang in the evening that Sima Dingyun couldn't come today and would only arrive tomorrow morning.

Zheng Sheng felt that this was the best, saving him the trouble of his tongue.

Zheng Sheng asked the blacksmiths to re-fire the blast furnace behind the courtyard, adding enough wood to it for the night, and finally he threw all the wooden boxes filled with sand into the fire.

The blacksmiths were dumbfounded.

After doing this, Zheng Sheng went back to the bamboo house and rested for a good night. After a good night's sleep, when Zheng Sheng woke up, he felt weak and weak.

He thought it was because he was too tired for the past two days, so he didn't care.

After breakfast, Sima Dingyun arrived.

Zheng Sheng took him to the blast furnace and motioned to the servants to carefully take out the ashes. When they took out all the ashes, Zheng Sheng took out something from the ashes, washed them with water, and revealed his true face.

Seeing the true face of glass Ruyi, Sima Dingyun was relieved.

Out of the courtyard, he saw the ruins to the east and sighed, "The thieves are fierce. The land that Zheng Shizi asked for can be seen this month. ”

It's still a ruin, but luckily it's not winter anymore, and the people who have destroyed their houses aren't too sad.

Zheng's family members are cleaning up the debris with the villagers, and Zheng Sheng plans to start planning the reconstruction after dealing with the glass matter today.

Listening to his words, Zheng Sheng asked curiously: "Didn't you say, it's still a little troublesome?" ”

Sima Dingyun glanced at him, sighed, and said softly, "It's no trouble." Yesterday, after a conversation between the king and my inner history. The king thought that he was a capable talent, and he was really condescending in Shunyang, so he went to Beijing to recommend him as a free rider. ”

It turned out that the trouble he was talking about was my internal history.

However, Zheng Sheng sighed: This Shunyang internal history is so difficult to do! A person like Wu Yan has only been "recommended" by Sima Chang for half a month? Sima Chang is really smart, since he can't "harm" you, then I recommend you to be a bigger official. Anyway, I just want you to go.

Sima Dingyun came and went, Zheng Sheng wrote a letter to Ren Ju and Zheng Wen, asking them to take over the glass business, he completely relaxed, and finally finished the matter.

In the afternoon, Zheng Sheng was sleepy, and when he woke up, he found that something was really wrong.

He was sick.
