Chapter 442: Confession
In the afternoon of this day, just after dinner, the sky was still bright, Zeng Rong sat in the middle of the courtyard with his embroidered bandage, and soon a bunch of people with embroidered bandages gathered around her, they came to learn art from Zeng Rong.
Zeng Rong also knew why these people used their spare time to do embroidery, this is considered private work, and they can save a few dollars a year with good craftsmanship, which is not much less than their wages.
There is one point, they can't go out by themselves, these embroideries have to be sold by the eunuchs, and they have to nod their heads, which is also an important reason why Tian Yong let it go.
As long as they don't delay their business, the more private work they do, the more benefits he will receive, otherwise, how can his life be so nourished?
When Chang Dezi took Xiao Quanzi into the yard, the picture he saw was Zeng Rong commenting on other people's embroidery in a circle, and from time to time he would point out the other party's stitching.
This month, she not only mentioned the other party's stitching, but also painted patterns for them, and even recommended their embroidery to the Splendid Workshop, and the embroidery could be sold for a few more dollars.
No, just this time, Chang Dezi heard several people shouting "Ah Rong", but Zeng Rong was not a little impatient, on the contrary, the voice that responded was sweet and crisp.
"This Nizi." Chang Dezi shook his head.
"Manager Chang, the little one is right, Miss Zeng has definitely not been wronged in the small one." Tian Yong on the side took the opportunity to show his merits.
Chang Dezi glanced at him and walked towards Zeng Rong with small steps.
Zeng Rong looked up and saw Chang Dezi when someone else pulled her, and greeted her with a smile, "Father-in-law Chang, I thought your old man had forgotten me." It's been a month before you came to see me? ”
"Gotta have it, you don't fool our family, our family has just watched it for a long time, you are talking and laughing these days, moisturizing, how can you still think of our family?" Chang Dezi deliberately took a few steps back and said.
"Who said that? How many times do I not read you a day? After Zeng Rong finished speaking, he saw Xiao Quanzi carrying the food box behind him, and he took the food box happily, opened it, and directly pinched a piece of crispy crispy crisp and put it in his mouth, "It's delicious, it's delicious, I don't remember what these snacks taste." ”
Chang Dezi was just about to hurt her a few words, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Zeng Rong's hand holding the snack was really like a carrot, and it looked like it had been soaked in water for a long time, so he couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and then looked at Zeng Rong's face, it was obviously not as tender as in the palace, the only thing that remained unchanged was that the eyes were still so bright and clear.
"Don't, Grandpa Chang, I'm fine, don't be like this, I'm teasing you, I really didn't suffer anything, His Royal Highness will take me to Qianfu every few days to relieve my hunger, I said this on purpose, so that you can go back and tell the emperor, so that he can also feel sorry for me, so let me go back quickly." Zeng Rong was eating and seeing Chang Dezi suddenly quieted down, his eyes were red, and he was both moved and a little uneasy in his heart.
The uneasiness was because she was afraid that Chang Dezi would bring her some bad news, thinking of this, she said again: "Father-in-law Chang, shouldn't the emperor have any new will?" Don't worry, I'll hold on. ”
"You mean you don't want to go back, you're really happy?" Chang Dezi asked angrily and funny.
"Not really! I made a pair of shoes for the emperor, if you don't come again, I plan to ask His Royal Highness to send them to the emperor, your old man is not interesting enough, and I don't know how to read for me in the emperor. Oh, by the way, after talking about it for a long time, is the emperor okay? Zeng Rong remembered it in hindsight, and it seemed that she had been rude.
"Less nonsense, what about shoes?" Chang Dezi glared at her, thinking that she was talking too much, after all, there was an outsider next to her.
Zeng Rong smiled, turned around and ran back to the house and took out a few things, a pair of stone blue satin cotton shoes for the emperor, covered with thick silk cotton, the upper was also embroidered with some flowers, still with a lotus pattern, and two pairs of gloves, which were made of fox fur.
"Father-in-law Chang, these shoes are for the emperor, there are two pairs of gloves, one is for you, it's cold, you have to take out your hand to get a broom, put on gloves to save your hands, don't dislike it, it's my heart."
"Oh, there is still our family, how dare we dislike it, it's too late for our family to be happy. Child, don't do it for our family next time, our family can't afford to use it, your hands are not for people like our family. Chang Dezi took the thing and said in a trembling voice.
has served the emperor for many years, and as the most intimate confidant around the emperor, there is no one who knows the emperor's mind better than him.
Not to mention, since the last time Zhu Heng was in Kunning Palace, the relationship between the two is no different from picking out, even if Zeng Rong can't be a wife, the title of a side concubine will definitely not be able to run away, he is an old eunuch, how dare he let Zeng Rong do things for him?
"What did my father-in-law say? If you dislike it, just say, I'll give it to Xiaoquanzi. After Zeng Rong finished speaking, he pretended to grab the gloves.
"Don't, we don't dare to use it, and he's even less worthy." Chang Dezi happily stuffed the things into his arms, and then handed the remaining shoes and gloves to Xiao Quanzi, and the food box was handed over to Zeng Rong.
Zeng Rong saw that Chang Dezi was about to leave, so he hurriedly grabbed him, "Father-in-law Chang, did you forget something and didn't say anything?" ”
The other party has been here for a long time, and he has not mentioned the emperor's will, Zeng Rong is really a little bottomless, is it possible that he is not here to announce the will?
"No, our family just came to see you, but it happened that the emperor rewarded our family with two plates of dim sum, our family is old, and I don't like sweets, thinking that you young people love to eat, so I sent it to you." Chang Dezi said with a smile.
"Okay, then I'll only take your affection." Zeng Rong said deliberately.
Chang Dezi is an indispensable person around the emperor, except for sleeping and occasionally going out to run errands, basically not leaving the emperor, therefore, even if the emperor rewards him with snacks, he will not even reward him with a plate and a food box, the best is to ask him to eat two pieces together, and this plate of dim sum is produced by a serious official kiln, and it is Zeng Rong's favorite sweets, no need to ask the emperor specially ordered him to send it.
It's just that Zeng Rong doesn't understand that since the emperor wants to send her snacks, why doesn't he mention when he will call her back, is it true that she will continue to do it?
"Don't, our family can't afford it." Chang Dezi understood that Zeng Rong had seen through his lie as soon as he heard it, shook his head with a smile, and turned to leave.
Zeng Rong sent him out, and when he was some distance from the door, Chang Dezi suddenly stood up and glanced at Tian Yong, who was busy finding an excuse to leave.
"You just said that His Royal Highness took you to the Qian Mansion to satisfy your hunger?" Chang Dezi asked.
Zeng Rong blinked and smiled playfully, "It's not all." ”
She frequently followed Zhu Heng out, and she had already guessed that rumors must be flying all over the palace in the palace, rather than letting others speculate and doubt, it was better for her to take the initiative to "confess" herself.
