158. Bright glass
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, amnesty was granted to the world.
The palace concubines who were demoted in the palace were put back home, and even the redundant palace maids were sent back to their hometowns, and they were given silver to return home to marry.
For a while, the "jealous concubine in the world", who had made a fuss only a few days ago, immediately changed the direction of the wind and became the emperor's mother's kindness and grace to the world.
The palace concubines were originally the nobles of the capital, and now that they have returned, although their father and eldest are unhappy, their mother is very happy.
It was the night of the Lantern Festival reunion of the year, and suddenly, in the capital, I don't know how many families celebrated the reunion and praised Concubine Ning's grace. There are even some families who worship Concubine Ning's living tablet, and three incense sticks in the morning and evening are devoutly worshipped.
I heard that Concubine Ning held a banquet in the palace during the Lantern Festival to entertain the noblewomen and nobles in Beijing, but everyone who got the invitation was proud, and the dresses went to the banquet one after another.
The banquet is set up in the imperial garden, at this time the full moon hangs high, the garden is full of colored lanterns, hanging the crystal and exquisite lanterns, the lively atmosphere, and also invited the best troupe and juggling team in Beijing to perform, and the atmosphere of the festival is strong.
At this time, in the Ningxin Palace, a guest came.
Ning Su changed into a gorgeous palace costume and came out, her hair was coiled high, with a dazzling nine phoenix golden step, the brocade skirt was like a flowing cloud, and when she moved, her steps trembled lightly, flashing with dazzling brilliance, and she was really the first favorite concubine, and she was extravagant.
Xie Qingyu raised his head and when he saw her, he suddenly felt that he could barely look at her. This kind of Ning Su was so bright that he could hardly recognize her as the little girl in pink who served him at the beginning, and he would never have imagined that she was once the shopkeeper of the merchant.
It's really the world changing, like floating clouds, changeable.
The reason why Xie Qingyu was able to come was all because he won it himself, and last time he provided the mastermind behind the mountain bandits, and he got this opportunity. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to see Ning Su with his unfortunate personality.
Guarding Xiaodouzi next to Xie Qingyu, he was assigned by Li Wuyu to monitor Xie Qingyu specifically, and he must not let him get too close to Ning Su.
"Did you bring anything?" Ning Su asked with a smile, she was very happy to see this old friend.
"Brought." Xie Qingyu pointed to a box in his hand, and he opened it, "This is the best string of beads I picked." β
Ning Su looked at the box, which was a pair of jewelry made of the most round and transparent glass beads.
She picked up the pair of earrings, which were the size of pigeon's eggs, pink gold, silver and blue, with tourmaline gourds and gold petals.
I looked at a few other things, including a bracelet and a necklace, which was simply ingenious.
"It's so beautiful!" Ning Su exclaimed, "I think it will definitely amaze the audience." β
Xie Qingyu looked at her, staring intently, he didn't have many opportunities to meet her, and he almost didn't want to take his eyes off.
"I personally created this set and gave it to you."
Ning Su raised his eyes and saw the affection in his eyes, as well as the helplessness and pain in his eyes.
"Thank you." She lowered her eyes, "I think our glass will sell well." Don't forget my share. β
"Sancheng, I remember." He whispered, feeling sentimental for no reason, he and her, now there is only this link left.
In the imperial garden, it is already full of guests.
"Mother is here!"
An exclamation caused a commotion in the crowd.
The ladies and ladies stood up one after another, and looked at Ning Su on the path of the Imperial Garden.
Surrounded by two palace maids, she appeared in the sight of all the noble ladies like a fairy concubine.
"Wow!" The ladies exclaimed, "So beautiful, so extravagant!" β
Under the background of the moonlight and lights, the glass jewelry worn by Ning Su reflected a dazzling brilliance, dazzling, and people's eyes couldn't move. Especially those noble ladies, they were already in love with all kinds of beautiful jewelry, and now they were shocked when they saw what Ning Su was wearing.
What is jewelry? How can it flash like this? Mi like this?!
Ning Su arrived, but after a simple greeting, he began to serve the food and began to perform.
But the women's eyes still did not take their eyes off the princess's jewelry.
Ning Su knew that the effect she wanted was answered.
A few days later, she received a letter from Xie Qingyu, writing in her heart: "The glass is out of stock. I want to go to Qinzhou and look for goods again. β
Ning Su thought for a while and replied: "I want to develop and build a glazed furnace in Qinzhou to specialize in refining glaze, and I will let Xue Ting and Shen Qing help you." β
Soon, she received a reply from Xie Qingyu: "I agree with the construction of a glass furnace." Since I have decided, I will go to Qinzhou immediately, and when the glass furnace is completed, fifty percent of the income will be yours. β
Of course, Ning Su understood that this was Xie Qingyu's kindness, and she did not refuse. Anyway, Xie Qingyu is so rich, he doesn't care about these two percent, he doesn't take it for nothing.
"Deal. I give my full support if there is anything. Shen Qing and Xue Ting handed it over to you, hoping that you can make good use of them and make them effective assistants. β
Two days later, when he received Xie Qingyu's letter, it was already written by him from Qinzhou. The letter mentions various problems encountered in the establishment of glazed furnaces in Qinzhou.
Sometimes Ning Su will provide some reference advice, and sometimes let him explore it on his own. Under the joint efforts of the two, things in the glass furnace are progressing quickly.
For this matter, Ning Su would often go to the library to find information. At this time, the harem was calm and quiet, and she felt much more at ease.
There are court books like "Heavenly Creations" in the book pavilion, which are not available elsewhere, which is of great help to her. Whenever she earned, she would write to Xie Qingyu.
At this time, there was one person who was not happy.
When Li Wuqi came in, he found that Ning Su was writing a letter again.
His face immediately tensed.
He walked over secretly, but he didn't expect that Ning Su was concentrating on copying the fragment on "Heavenly Creations" to Xie Qingyu, and he didn't notice his arrival at all.
Li Wuyu stood behind her for a while, and found that in the drawer she opened was a thick stack of letters, of course he knew that she was secretly busy with her glass business these days, and the person receiving the letter was naturally his very unlikable cousin Xie Qingyu.
"A stack of letters?" Li Wuqi suddenly spoke, "Ning'er has never written so many letters to me!" Indignant, he reached for the letter in her drawer.
"Well, I'm busy, don't mess with it." Ning Su slapped his hand smoothly.
He withdrew his hand and walked around her for a while, who knew that she would be transparent to him, and he would ignore it completely.
He frowned at him, he was upset, and she didn't even feel his anger.
He really wanted to use other women to teach Ning Su, but when he remembered that she seemed to be the only one in the harem, he taught a P.
"Ning'er!" He was really annoyed, and pulled the brush in her hand, "I see, you are busier than me!" I'm busy writing letters to that guy surnamed Xie every day! I haven't even eaten, don't you know? β
"Huh?" Ning Su stood up suddenly, and looked at Li Wuyu embarrassedly, only to see that his face was very stinky.
Hurriedly came over and took his hand and coaxed him: "Didn't I eat it too?" Let's eat. β
At this time, Xiao Wuyu's face softened slightly, took her hand, and asked, "What are you eating today?" β
"You can eat whatever you want." Ning Su said with a smile, in fact, she didn't know what the imperial kitchen had prepared today.
Xiao Wuyu rolled his eyes and said, "Why don't we go out of the palace to eat?" β
"Huh?" Ning Su was stunned for a moment, "It's okay, it's just the emperor's safety ......"
"No, just go!"
Li Wuyu pulled her, and the two quickly changed their clothes, both of them were men's clothes, handsome and handsome, like two beautiful sons.
Ning Su didn't expect that when he was bored, the two of them naturally couldn't let people know when they left the palace. The guards who discovered their identities all asked them to silence them, and they must not make a noise. With the emperor's orders, those guards didn't dare to say more.
The weather is getting warmer, and fresh shoots are popping up on the trees on the streets.
The weather is very good, the sun is shining, although it is cold and cold at first, but the wind is pleasant, and the travel is just right.
The two of them ate at the famous Tianxianglou on the street, and the food outside was really different from that in the palace, and Li Wuyu was very satisfied.
Out of the restaurant, Li Wuyu's heart was not reduced, and he took Ning Su to the suburbs on horseback.
The green grass has only emerged, but the peach blossoms in early spring have turned red into clouds.
"Sure enough, it's still outside the palace!" I praised it from the bottom of my heart.
Ning Su looked at him and smiled slightly.
However, under this beautiful scenery, there is a dazzling picture, only to see a group of poorly clothed homeless people carrying broken burdens, looking at the direction of the capital with the old and the young.
He was stunned, he felt very dazzling, and he looked very uncomfortable in his heart. In the prosperous capital, how can there be a group of such people? Those ministers talked to him all day long about the prosperous and prosperous times, and he met these people when he accidentally went out of the palace, what kind of prosperous and prosperous world is this?
As the unkempt and yellow-skinned men passed by their horses, suddenly, a little girl fell to his horse's hoof with a thud.
Caught off guard, he quickly grabbed the reins.
"Hiss-" A horse roared, and the horse was alarmed by the girl, and the horse's hooves stepped on the girl's body, and instantly saw blood.
Shocked, she turned over and dismounted, pushed the horse aside with one palm, and quickly knelt down and picked up the girl.
"Doctorββ, find the doctorβ" he shouted.
"Murder! Kill! The nobleman has killed someone! Seeing this rich and noble son, he wanted to come over and extort money, but when he saw the widow, he was domineering and exposed, and glanced coldly, and they didn't dare to come over for a while.
Ning Su saw that the situation was not good, so she quickly dismounted, and she came over to hold the girl's hand and take the pulse.
Li Wuqi suddenly remembered, isn't she just a doctor? I was really stunned.
"How?" He asked hurriedly.
"You have to rush to the city's medical center, otherwise it's too late." Ning Su glanced at Li Wuqi and said, "You go first, and I'll come later." There is a big medical hall next to Tianxiang Building, and after entering, I quickly asked the doctor to stop the bleeding for the girl. β
Li Wuqi nodded hurriedly, didn't care much, hugged the girl and flew on the horse, Ning Su also turned over and got on the horse, and followed.
She looked back at the wailing homeless, sighed in her heart, stretched out her hand and threw the only silver in her arms, only to see the homeless people rush up and immediately hit their heads and bleed.
She was stunned, and she looked around to see that behind this group of homeless people, there were still people rushing over.
With so many displaced people, once they enter the capital, won't it be a chaos in the capital? It's scary to think about!
