This time, Shao Yi didn't take any other way, but directly took two pieces of mirror glass, went to the internal official prison, and handed over the post seriously.

When it was transmitted, he informed the eunuchs of the internal officials that the quality of the glass in the glazed workshop had been greatly improved, and asked the internal officials and eunuchs if they wanted to replace the glass installed before the palace.

It was related to the improvement of the conditions of the emperor's living quarters, and the benefits of glass windows were obvious to all, and after installation, they were strongly affirmed by the emperor.

This time it was also glass, and it sounded even better, and Gonggong Cao of the internal official supervisor did not dare to slack off, so he let Shao Yi be led into the inner official prison.

The two had met before, and they both knew each other's names, so they didn't have any extra greetings, and they sat down separately.

Shao Yi was the first to speak, and said: "This time I came to trouble Gonggong Cao, it was the glaze workshop that developed better glass." Therefore, I specially asked Gonggong Cao, should the glass windows used in the palace be replaced? ”

Gonggong Cao glanced at him and said with a smile: "Deputy Lieutenant Shao is polite." This matter is related to the improvement of the conditions of the emperor's living quarters, as Deputy Lieutenant Shao said, if the quality of the glass is indeed better, do we dare not change it? ”

Shao Yi knew that the internal official prison was a place with a lot of oil and water.

Although this matter will definitely be done, he should also go through the motions, and send a letter to Father-in-law Cao in private, so as to pay homage to one or two, hello everyone, I am good, and the next thing will be much easier.

But Shao Yi naturally has his reasons, since the emperor praised him for not standing in line with King Jing, he was really afraid that his every move would be in the emperor's sight.

It didn't matter if he gave Gonggong Cao some silver or something, but the emperor couldn't know about it. If the emperor knew that sending him things would be exploited, I am afraid it would not be good for Gonggong Cao.

Gonggong Cao is unlucky because of this, and if he deals with the palace in the future, he is afraid that it will not be smooth.

He smiled and arched his hand: "Gonggong Cao said that he was joking, who doesn't know that Gonggong Cao is the most loyal to the emperor?" That's why I came to you first, so that you can see the quality of the glass first, so that I can know whether the glass is enough to qualify for Huan Gong. I brought a glass sample, do you want to see things first? ”

For this, although Gonggong Cao was a little unhappy, he didn't dare to be too embarrassed.

It was not that no one was jealous of Shao Yi's status as the first gentleman in the capital before. An orphan and widow who has been suppressed and can't enter the royal family, has no name, no connections, and no backers, why should the dignitaries in the capital back down?

Isn't it just the emperor's protection?

Everyone understands the truth of three people becoming tigers, and all kinds of foxes who mingle in the court and the circle of nobles know even more.

Many people have plotted to blow some wind on the emperor through the emperor's close ministers and people who serve the emperor closely, so that the emperor will have a bad feeling for this gentleman.

How could the emperor not be able to hear the word Shao Yi at all, don't care about bad words, as long as you hear something related to Shao Yi, whoever says it is unlucky.

People simply don't have a chance to make a tiger.

Regarding the unshakable status of the first gentleman, Gonggong Cao only clicked to the end, and seeing Shao Yi's good attitude, he also smiled: "It's all for the emperor, and Deputy Lieutenant Shao has a good reputation." Now that the thing has been brought, let's see where your new glass is outstanding. ”

Xiuyuan took someone to bring up the glass, put it on the table with the packaging, and gave another salute, and then took the person down.

Gonggong Cao was a little surprised, did Shao Yi's subordinates not understand the rules so much? With such a large piece of stuff packed on top of each other, who do they expect to take it apart?

Shao Yi looked disappreliant, really rolled up his sleeves, and opened the package with his hands.

"Grandpa Cao, see how the quality of the glass is."

The first thing that caught Cao Gonggong's eye was not the quality of the glass, but a silver ticket of two hundred taels placed on the surface of the glass.

Father-in-law Cao's face remained unchanged, and when he looked up, he found that Shao Yi had taken two steps back and was putting a coarse cloth on his hand.

Father-in-law Cao was immediately satisfied, he had never dealt with him before, it turned out that this person was really worthy of being the first gentleman in the capital, and he was so sensible.

"This glass ...... Sure enough, it's much better than last time. This, how is this done? Father-in-law Cao put the silver ticket on his sleeve, and when he checked the glass, he was really shocked.

Shao Yi padded his hand with a strip of cloth, put up a piece of glass on it, and said, "Looking at it this way, can you see the clarity and smoothness of the glass better?" ”

Gonggong Cao has been working in the internal official supervision for many years, and he knows some craftsman skills to some extent, so he looked at it carefully for a moment and asked: "Is it the mirror effect of grinding with such smoothness?" ”

As soon as the words came out, he shook his head first, "Impossible, with such a large plane, it is difficult to guarantee such flatness and smoothness." Even if it does, the cost is too high. ”

As he spoke, Gonggong Cao looked up at Shao Yi and asked silently: How did this happen.

Shao Yi put the glass back in its place, and said helplessly: "Gonggong Cao, you don't know, during this time, several trading firms in the capital are selling glass, and it is obvious that the glass technology has been leaked. The fourth aunt and grandmother of the Xia family have learned well this time, and it is a matter of trade secrets, and they refuse to tell me what to do. ”

Gonggong Cao nodded sympathetically and didn't ask any more.

Shao Yi This is a polite statement, some businesses in the capital have started to buy glass, which is quite a sensation. Immediately afterwards, the steward of the glaze workshop sent the leak craftsman to the government office.

Where is there anyone who doesn't know about such a sensational thing?

Prior to this, Father-in-law Cao also thought that Xia Ke's family was a scholar after all, and they didn't know how to operate or take precautions, which led to the theft of their secret skills and robbed them of a lot of opportunities to make money.

How do you know that the woman of the Xia family still has this one? If this mirror glass is not made by grinding, then the glass of the few companies ...... Hehe, it's really hard to tell the truth of the matter.

Gonggong Cao raised his gaze from the surface of the glass again, and asked in a low voice with some gossip: "Even if you don't know the specific process, whether the glass has been ground or not, Vice Lieutenant Shao will always know, right?" ”

Shao Yi smiled: "I can guarantee this, it must not have been polished." ”

"That's good, that's good." Father-in-law Cao was immediately happy, and now, there was another lively look.

Although he often borrowed fortifications to get some benefits, he was also quite unaccustomed to the few faceless people in the Chengjun Palace.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the glass of these houses is plagiarized from the Xia family, but people can do it without losing face.

I don't know what it feels like to be ridiculed again after losing money?

"Okay, such a good quality glass, let's ask the general manager for instructions. Deputy Lieutenant Shao also went back to prepare, I think it won't take long, we have to go to the glass workshop to pick up the goods. ”

What can make the emperor happy, everyone is happy to see it.

Soon, the emperor was standing in front of a large glass window with few ripples and a much wider field of vision, looking happily at the verdant spring color outside the window.

After a long time, the emperor who was facing the window suddenly opened his mouth and asked: "This woman from the Xia family, the previous glass technology leaked, could it be that she deliberately dug a pit and waited for someone to jump in?" ”

Sun Congshan stood not far behind the emperor, and was also looking through the glass, looking at the tender green leaves swaying outside the window.

was suddenly asked by the emperor, and he was stunned at first, and then there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.
