Chapter 21: Favor
Weaving Bureau, but also image, the Qing Dynasty in the previous Qing Dynasty in Jiangning, Suzhou and Hangzhou set up three weaving yamen, responsible for the use of (the emperor's use), official use (officials used), rewards and sacrificial ceremonies and other silk weaving and delivery, are the Qin Gong Essentials, important status, heavy responsibility. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 At the same time, weaving also has the privilege of secret folding, directly to the emperor to report money and grain, officials, camps, anti-theft, quelling chaos, recommendation, impeachment, harvest, grain prices, scholar activities and folk customs and other local conditions in the south of the Yangtze River.
Before and after the three weaving saddles, the ancestors and grandsons of Kang Qian toured the south many times, and lived in the weaving mansion; The repair and decoration of the palaces in various places, the embellishment of scenic spots, the lanterns of the streets, and the acting banquets of the birthday banquet must be busy with weaving. During the period when Cao Yin, the grandfather of Cao Xueqin, the author of "Dream of Red Mansions", was the weaving of Jiangning, the Cao family gradually became a prominent family, ushering in a glorious era of flowers and brocade, and the most important performance was to receive the emperor's southern tour. Kangxi made six southern tours, four of which were taken over by the Cao family, and the Jiangning Weaving Mansion repeatedly became the emperor's palace.
After receiving the errand of the Weaving Bureau, Yang Zhen was overjoyed, with this background, it was much easier to solicit and act, and with his back to Jinshan Yinshan, everything was at hand.
And let me use this weaving bureau to weave a seamless, nowhere to escape a big net, if any of them do not fall into the net, I am afraid that the sky should not be, and the earth is not spiritual.
I talked to the princess about the process and finalized everything. The princess gave all the right to act cheaply, and only asked for secrecy, and must not leak the rumors, otherwise it will be a catastrophe, and I am afraid that the princess herself will be deeply involved. Yang Zhen nodded and agreed, in the current period, after all, King Wu is still on the throne, and under his nose, he is co-opting his henchmen, probing the news and even entangled with people, no matter how you look at it, it is also a big crime to rob the family and exterminate the clan, and Yang Zhen has no second root to cut.
Yang Zhen returned to Su Yaxuan, but found that a table of wine and dishes had been placed, brine duck breast, Huadiao smoked fish, braised hoof tendons, boiled dried silk, squirrel osmanthus fish, money shrimp cakes, ivory chicken strips, sunflower meat, plum sauce fried bell, osmanthus glutinous rice lotus, Yipinnan milk meat, and most importantly, a jar of orange and yellow bright flower carvings, Yang Zhen sniffed it, and already knew that this was at least thirty years of aging.
It's just that this table is full of dishes, and only Chen Susu is standing at the table, watching Yang Zhen enter the door, looking at Yang Zhen with a smile, and not speaking.
"Could it be that there is a distinguished guest to welcome you today?" Yang Zhen's index finger moved and sat down.
"If you want to talk about your guests, are there any other more noble guests? Ning Yu has since become an official camp, supervised by the Weaving Bureau, from now on, as the inspector, you are my Chen family's direct boss, food and clothing parents, and please take pity on the slave family. Chen Susu walked around behind Yang Zhen and gently pinched his shoulder.
Yang Zhen was stunned, the news spread so quickly, I am afraid that the Chen family contributed Ning Yu, and the princess also discussed with her in advance.
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. I thought you were feeling a little sorry for yourself because of my frequent dealings with the princess these days. Looks like I'm overthinking. After speaking, he patted the little hand on his shoulder, motioned for her to sit down, and he was not polite, picking up the chopsticks and feasting happily.
When Chen Susu heard the word princess, he grabbed Yang Zhen viciously with his hand, and pinched the lining of his two shoulders into a ball. sneered: "Since I have already caught you, why do I need to worry so much." If you can enjoy happiness, why do you have to work hard. Women, still have to use their weapons well and charge into battle, that's a man's business. ”
Yang Zhen understands that Chen Susu is the same person as him, enjoying rights, but enjoying the process of obtaining rights even more. Otherwise, the two of them smell like each other, and now that the princess joins, although her goal is easier to achieve, she herself is also involved in the whole process, and there is still a big gap in her heart.
It's just that since her family background and status can't be compared with the princess, she immediately found another way to grab it to a safe place. In this unstable alliance, useless people will only be ruthlessly abandoned.
Chen Susu's cooking skills are even better than her appearance and intelligence. Yang Zhen chewed carefully, feeling the sweet and sour Jiangnan flavor. Since Chen Susu has sincerely thrown herself into his arms physically and mentally, even if she has a strong purpose, she needs to be reassured.
was thinking about it, but there was a commotion outside, and Chen Susu's personal palace maid came in to report that there was a eunuch with a holy decree outside, and asked Chen Susu and Yang Zhengong to welcome the decree.
Chen Susu and Yang Zhen glanced at each other, and already knew that it must be related to the appointment that the princess said today, but they didn't expect the holy decree to come so quickly. I'm afraid that the princess has already agreed with the emperor, and it is not her mouth to ask for instructions tomorrow.
Although this is a good thing, the princess has no ill intentions, just to show her authority.
The team is undecided, and the princess can only lead the nose away! Yang Zhen secretly hated, and when he set up an organization and was well-informed, he must grasp the initiative in advance.
Yang Zhen and Chen Susu hurriedly went to the door to greet them, but they saw the emperor's personal eunuch, Zhao Chengde's father-in-law who had fought with Yang Zhen that night. Zhao Gonggong didn't look ruthless at all that night, showing a charitable smile and gaze.
Zhao Gonggong looked at the two people who saluted and received the order, opened the holy decree and read the content, the first half was the same as the two of them, and the new weaving bureau was established, located in Huijing Tianzi B outside the city, responsible for the weaving and sales of Ning Yu, perfume, and distilled liquor. Yang Zhen was appointed as the first admiral weaving eunuch, responsible for the full affairs of the bureau, except for the provisions of the official rewards and sacrifices, and the surplus of his income was converted into five cents of silver into the internal affairs office, three points into the princess's mansion, and two cents for business expansion. However, the position is not taken over by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and only needs to report to the princess's mansion.
Yang Zhen heard this and thought that in the early stage of the construction of the Weaving Bureau, the production was insufficient, and I am afraid that the tribute items alone accounted for most of them, and only those that could be used for sale were used, but the profits were still taken away by eight points. The pressure of such a task is not small, and the only advantage is that everything belongs to me here, there are no chaotic officials to point fingers, and there are no bad habits in officialdom, so I can do it freely.
At this time, Zhao Gonggong's words changed sharply, and he said to Chen Susu: "I want to congratulate Niangniang here, Niangniang is dignified and beautiful, and her family background is innocent." The emperor specially decrees that you have been promoted from a noble person of the seventh grade to a noble person of the fourth grade. ”
Yang Zhen and Chen Susu were happy, this emperor's grace and rain and dew were all wet, and Chen Susu's concubine position, which had not been promoted for a long time, was actually promoted a few gears in a row, and even more powerful than Yang Zhen.
It's just that before he had time to be happy, Zhao Gonggong said to Chen Susu: "There is better news to congratulate Niangniang, the emperor will stay in your new residence in Yiyu Hall today, Niangniang is pampered, and you will have to take more care of the old slave in the future." ”
Looking at Yang Zhen, whose face had changed drastically, Zhao Gonggong said to Yang Zhen meaningfully: "Please also ask Yang Gonggong to carry the freshened mother into the dormitory." ”
