Chapter 107: Business in the Palace
When he came out to find Rong Yan from Concubine Zhao, Zhao Yunling was smiling all the way, and the little eunuch who led the way in front couldn't help but sell drugs, but he finally sent people over, and Zhao Yunling went in directly, and he came twice, and basically no one came.
Rong Yan saw Zhao Yunling coming in, and subconsciously glanced at her hand, and found that she didn't have anything in her hand, and she didn't bring her something to eat like before, and squinted his eyes dissatisfiedly, but he wouldn't just say it.
Just looked at Zhao Yunling's smile and asked lightly: "What's the matter, so happy?" ”
Zhao Yunling didn't notice that Rong Yan's tone was a little unhappy, so he walked to Rong Yan with a smile and sat down, and then arrived: "After entering the palace just now, I went to Concubine Zhao's palace, and I specially chose many gifts to send over, it seems that Concubine Zhao likes it very much?" ”
And then?
Rong Yan raised his eyebrows.
She almost never does anything meaningless, and suddenly sends something to Concubine Zhao with such fanfare, there must be some other considerations in her psychology, Rong Yan doesn't know much about her father's harem, but Concubine Zhao knows a little, she has been very favored in recent years, and it seems that her temperament is not bad, and many people in the harem who are favored and not favored like to associate with Concubine Zhao.
The rest he didn't want to know, as long as he wasn't trying to do something, he didn't have the heart to explore.
But what is the use of Concubine Zhao to her?
After Zhao Yunling finished speaking, he stared at Rong Yan with a smile, and saw that she just picked Tai Ou Ying, and then stopped talking, a little dissatisfied.
"Why don't you ask?"
"Ask what?"
"You should ask me why I'm so happy."
"Why?"
Rong Yan asked helplessly, in fact, he wanted to ask why Concubine Zhao seemed to be more important in his heart, and he didn't bring anything to him when he came in today.
Zhao Yunling said: "The last time I entered the palace, I went to Concubine Zhao to talk about some happy things, they seem to be very curious about things outside, I deliberately chose some strange things today and loosened them in, they seem to like it very much, do you say that this means that I can also start doing business in the palace?"
“……”
"This time I fought with the Hu people, most of the shadows I earned back before were used up, and even the grain in the granary was basically gone, so I naturally had to find a way to earn back this silver, the court didn't give grain and grass before, and now I earn silver from the harem, which can be regarded as the silver that I gave grain and grass."
Rong Yan rubbed his eyebrows with a little headache, how did he think that Zhao Yunling actually had the idea to come to the harem, he didn't know what these women in the harem looked like, but his curiosity outside the palace may be true, her excited appearance, maybe she can really toss something, not to mention that she still has a token to enter and exit the palace, and it is most convenient to do something business.
But......
"How are you going to do business with them?"
"I haven't figured it out yet, now I'm sending it in the form of gifts, but it's the first time, I can't always put my own silver every time, and then I've seen what kind of things they like very much, and I'll do ghost statistics after I go back, and then think about how to let them buy it themselves."
After all, she is a concubine in the palace, even if she sends something in, it is natural, even if it is a sale, it must be said by them themselves.
Rong Yan smiled: "You are very smart, you should have already thought of a way, right?" ”
Zhao Yunling smiled: "There is a way, but it will be sold miserably." ”
"Your Highness, think about it, I just came out of the school, and all my net worth has been exchanged for grain and grass, and now I have no silver on my body, and the poor jingle sounds, they should have a little sympathy for me in their hearts, and when I send things over, they should compensate me, and then I can take the opportunity to talk about business."
"So, you deliberately told me this today, just to let me go, if you are miserable now?"
"Hey, hey, hey."
Rong Yan shook his head, and under Zhao Yunling's gaze, he quickly agreed to this matter, and after Zhao Yunling went out, he asked people to spread this matter, and there was something going on in the harem that would soon be known to everyone. Write a book
So the next time, when Zhao Yunling sent things to Concubine Zhao again, Concubine Zhao looked very fond of it, but she also glanced at Zhao Yunling, and hesitated: "Lord Zhao, although we like these things you sent to the palace, but I also know that you are not rich now, when you attacked the Hu people, you have already exhausted your net worth, but now you have to collect these things, it must be not easy, so let's do it, even if these things are bought by us, if there are any fresh things sent in the future, they will be converted into silver for you, okay?" ”
Zhao Yunling arched his hand and said with a smile: "It's good if you like it, although I am ...... now But I don't dare to ask for the shadow of the girls. ”
She showed a little bit of lack of money at the right time, Concubine Zhao was even more embarrassed, and decided this matter with a decision, Zhao Yunling didn't expect this matter to be so easy, and when she came out of Concubine Zhao's palace, the smile on her face was a little sincere.
But there are so many people in the palace, how can they just do the silver of these concubines?
Although those little palace maids and eunuchs don't have much silver on them, the little things they are interested in are not worth much, and they make small profits but do not sell them well......
After Zhao Yunling left the palace, he deliberately walked around the street, and went to the embroidery village to buy some handkerchiefs, the patterns on them were all novel and dexterous, Zhao Yunling ordered a lot at once, saying that he would come to get the goods in a few days, and went to other places.
There are some novelties in the various markets in the capital, because of trade with the Western Regions, and there are some novelties in the Western Regions, which she is going to take into the palace to sell.
The people in the palace generally can't go out of the palace, and the things they see are limited, and the favored concubines are fine, and the unfavored ones can't even see these gadgets.
The things she chose were all interesting, or she had never eaten them, Concubine Zhao liked it very much, every time Zhao Yunling entered the palace, in addition to converting it into silver to buy something, she also had to give another reward, Zhao Yunling also accepted it with peace of mind, because she was not good at entering the palace every day, so she found a few little eunuchs and little palace maids who could leave the palace, and sent the embroidered handkerchiefs ordered before into the palace, which were different from those for all the mothers.
It's one place, two different markets.
When the emperor still went to Concubine Zhao, he saw Concubine Zhao playing with something, and asked casually, Concubine Zhao said: "These are all brought into the palace by Lord Zhao, they are all novelties, the concubine likes it very much, and she has not left the palace since she entered the palace, and she feels happy when she sees these things, and the emperor also takes a look?" ”
She handed it over as she spoke, and the emperor took it and took a look, but he didn't recognize what it was for a while, and after Concubine Zhao explained, he realized that it was a gadget from the Western Regions, and he played with it and put it aside.
looked at Concubine Zhao and said, "Are you talking about Zhao Yunling?" You have a good relationship with her? ”
"The emperor doesn't know, this Lord Zhao is really interesting, he doesn't have to say that he has a daughter's family, his stomach supports the family business, and he can use his entire net worth to support the soldiers in the frontier when he is fighting with the Hu people, which makes the concubines very admirable."
Concubine Zhao never avoided talking about things in the court in front of the emperor, on the contrary, she had something to say, and it was precisely because of this straightforwardness in front of the emperor that she could start from the offensive and be favored for many years.
Of course, Concubine Zhao is not brainless, and she won't say anything that really annoys the emperor.
If you have to say it, you will say it in another way, anyway, you can make the emperor listen to it.
Sure enough, when the emperor heard this, his eyes changed, and then he said: "This Zhao Yunling is indeed a strange woman, and I also watched her act decisively, so I gave it to the official micro, but I didn't expect her to start a business in the palace?" ”
"Lord Zhao himself is a businessman, and this is not done by Lord Zhao, it was the concubine who asked Lord Zhao to bring in some joyful things outside the palace, Lord Zhao copied it, and the concubine thought again, Lord Zhao's net worth was used to fight with the Hu people, where is there any silver now, just convert it into silver, I am happy, Lord Zhao is also happy, the best of both worlds, why not?"
"You're saying the best of both worlds......
The old emperor sighed, it is rare in this world to have the best of both worlds.
If only the word "best of both worlds" could be applied to the third child.
Concubine Zhao glanced at the emperor, her eyes flickered, and she quickly guessed what the emperor was thinking, she went over to the emperor's side, and pinched the emperor's shoulder behind the emperor's back: "What is the emperor thinking?" ”
"I'm thinking about the third child, Lao Wu said that the third child has the ability to attack the Hu people this time, but he is reconciled with the Hu people, it is clear that he has colluded before, what do you think?" The old emperor said it casually.
Concubine Zhao smiled: "Why did the emperor forget?" The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and the concubine is just a concubine, how can he make a conclusion on major affairs in the court? However, according to the opinion of the little woman of the concubine, it is impossible for the three princes to collude with the Hu people. ”
"Oh? Are you so sure? ”
"The concubines don't believe in the three princes, the concubines believe in the emperor." Concubine Zhao said with a smile: "The Third Highness was also brought up by the emperor himself when he was a child, and the emperor should know the general character, and the concubines heard many people say that the Third Highness is very similar to the emperor, and the emperor is like him, so it is even more impossible to collude with the Hu people." ”
The emperor smiled, thinking about what Concubine Zhao said, although it was his own feelings, but he also felt that the third child could not do anything to collude with the Hu people, and what the third said was right, there was no grain and grass in the frontier at that time, how long could Zhao Yunling support a merchant?
At this time, it is the best policy to reconcile and retreat.
