"Gold can be ground into powder and can also be made into pigments, but gold is inherently expensive, and the cost of using it as a raw material is too high. Therefore, most of the gold pigments that can be bought now are made of phlogopite. Look at this bit of paint in my hands......"
Although everyone didn't know what Gu Fuwei was talking about, they knew that he was a person who didn't talk much on weekdays, and if it was nonsense that was not needed, he would naturally not talk about it.
So, they all stretched out their heads and looked carefully at his fingertips.
Lizhan was also curious, kneeling on the ground and stretching his neck to probe, everyone else was looking at the gold dust in his hand, but he only looked at Lizhan.
The two dark brown fox eyes shone with a clever aura, and they were beautiful in a flash.
His gaze fell on her lightly, and his mouth casually explained to the others, who listened attentively and did not notice the eye contact between the two of them.
"If it had been the color of gold, it would have been fine sand. But if I carefully identify the pigment in my hand, it is not difficult to find that it is flaked, and each piece is still semi-transparent. Have you ever seen gold glitter, but have you ever seen gold that is semi-transparent? ”
Everyone hung their heads in thought.
Imperial Physician Zhou was the first to suddenly nod his head: "This is phlogopite?" ”
"Yes, phlogopite is like glass, and the material is semi-transparent."
Imperial Physician Zhou sincerely admired: "His Royal Highness King Qi is really well-informed. ”
"Ninety percent of the phlogopite in Meng Yueguo is produced in the Western Regions, so it's strange that this king doesn't know him." Gu Fuwei said modestly.
"The royal family of gold watches, the people want to use, and they can only be used as decorations, and the demand is not too much on weekdays, and the purchase is very scattered. Therefore, the supply of the Western Regions will not go too far, and generally out of the Qishui Pass, there will be merchants from the Central Plains to inventory the goods, and then the merchants from the Central Plains will resell them to various states, and the merchants from various states will come to get the goods again. Generally, it is difficult to get to the county, the county is too small to sell. Therefore, the king estimated that there were at most two houses in the capital selling this kind of phlogopite pigment, and called their account office and the small maid in the front hall, and he would find out when he asked. ”
The more she listened, the more she felt that something was wrong, and she lowered her head tightly, not daring to let people see through her current face.
Her eyes were staring straight at the pink velvet balls on the tips of her embroidered shoes, and her heart was in a mess.
When she asked the nurse to make the "prince robe", she didn't think about it so much, since the nurse said that she couldn't buy bright yellow fabrics, she could only use gold pigments to dye them, and the dyeing would be done, anyway, how did she know that there were so many doorways in this pigment.
Xiaoxiao was very scared, and when she thought that she couldn't bear it, she was even more worried that her nurse would show her feet.
She didn't move, only turned her eyes to look at the nurse next to her, and the nurse also lowered her head like her, her whole body was stiff, and a large amount of sweat oozed from her forehead, and she wiped it with her sleeves from time to time.
OK...... Fortunately, everyone was looking at the gold dust on King Qi's hands, and they didn't pay much attention to the nurse.
Li Xiaoxiao retracted his gaze, only hoping in his heart that what King Qi said was wrong, he had just come to the capital, and this kind of subtle matter, he might not be really accurate just by relying on his own judgment.
Lixiaoxiao comforted herself by herself.
At this time, Lizhan felt a completely different scene in his heart.
While listening to Gu Fuwei's opinions, she was amazed by his amazing memory and meticulous thinking.
What feudal king would take such a trivial matter as gold pigment to heart?
The reason why Gu Fuwei knew was probably because he had read the customs clearance and inventory records of the goods.
And the customs goods in the Western Regions are the most numerous, the things of the Central Plains have to be transported to the western countries, and the treasures of the western countries have to be pounded into the Central Plains by merchants, and thousands of goods are dazzling, even if he has time to look at them, it is unlikely that he will remember them clearly, right?
He is not the clerk on duty at the pass, he is the king of Qishui, and he has to work for the entire Western Regions.
On weekdays, it is necessary to raise food, transfer troops, and fight......
It is necessary to form a faction, to be pro-government, and to socialize......
When Gu Fuwei was the first to say, he said a small thing thousands of miles away so methodically.
He didn't know that his face showed a look of adoration, and he took it all in at a glance.
God, he is definitely the most iris-shouldered jackal in the Western Regions, no wonder he was able to take over the mantle from the hands of the old King Qi at a young age, and twisted the loose sand of the Western Regions into a rope, who dares to go against him, it is really tired.
After listening to Gu Fuwei's explanation, the prince was puzzled, and immediately called Ma Changde to interrogate and asked, "Which is the largest pigment shop in the capital?" ”
Ma Changde often takes people out to buy, and these markets are still very clear.
"Li's pigment shop is the largest, and all kinds of pigments are the most complete."
"Go and bring their shopkeeper and the servant into the palace." Gu Yueze did not hesitate for a moment.
"Yes."
Ma Chede did not dare to delay for a moment to do it.
Things have come to this, because of the arrival of Gu Fuwei, there are suddenly branches, and it has become confusing who is the culprit.
Gu Yueze didn't mention the matter of going to Kunfu Palace again, who was secretly cursing him and harming him, it is not yet known, with his cautious temperament, if he doesn't find out the mastermind behind the scenes, how can he still have the heart to go to the banquet?
So, Gu Yueze asked Liu Shangshu and Liu Fengxian to go back to the banquet first and explain the situation to everyone.
And Gu Fuwei seemed to want to keep the lamp, and he didn't have the courage to open his mouth and propose to let him return to the table.
As for King Xu...... It's better to keep this-stirring stick here, lest anyone else will not deal with it later, and he can also gag in the middle.
So, Gu Yueze sent Sun Fuzheng to send Liu Shangshu and Liu Fengxian away, and invited King Qi and King Xu into the house to sit.
The group of people who left home retreated to the wall, standing in two rows, and Lizhan was not detained by the guards, standing alone in front of everyone, watching Gong'e bring melons and fruits, and make tea.
The three of them exchanged pleasantries, Gu Fuwei said little, and the other two led the conversation to the Western Regions, and when they said that they didn't understand what they didn't understand and asked Gu Fuwei for advice, he would say a few words briefly.
The people in the curtain thought that things would soon come to light, and the tense spirit was gradually relaxed, and after time passed, they felt hungry and tired, and their legs were wooden, especially the old lady, who was shaky and crumbling.
Li Chen's sharp eyes saw that since she was forced to "play drunk" at the banquet in the East Palace, the old lady's good impression of her was no longer what it used to be.
Now that she is in trouble, it is a good time for her to please the old lady, how can she let it go.
He paced two steps away from Chenxiao, stuck behind the curtain, and whispered while they were talking: "Your Highness, my grandmother is very old, and her family has been unhappy recently, and she has been overworked, and now she can't stand anymore, I hope Your Highness can give the old man a stool to rest." ”
Gu Yueze was displeased, looking at the tea cup on the table without saying a word.
Leaving home has caused such a big trouble, and now the mastermind behind the scenes has not surfaced, even if they put everyone who left home in the oil pot and fried it, they still have to bear it, and they dare to be cheeky to ask for anything?
But Meng Yueguo has always come to respect the old and merciless, and Changfeng Pharmacy did save his life when he was young, if the old woman really fainted and something went wrong, and the outside talked about it, his reputation would be bad.
After weighing the two phases, he waved his hand impatiently, ready to let his subordinates bring the chair, but unexpectedly, King Qi opened his mouth and sneered coldly: "If the matter of the witch puppet is not concluded for a day, everyone will not be able to get rid of suspicion if you leave home." If the suspect dares to ask for a chair, you may be looking too innocent for yourself. ”
King Qi bluntly reprimanded, and Gu Yueze's words quickly swallowed back into his stomach.
Li Chen was scolded facelessly, and timidly retreated behind the curtain, and when the three of them talked and laughed again, they bit their lipes in shame.
Why...... Why did King Qi speak softly to Lizhan, and the woman next to him was imposing, and she was not close.
Is it because she is not as good-looking as Lizhan is?
Oh, just leave the bewitching appearance of the fox-faced and charming lord, the proper red face and troubled water, where can I compare with my harmless and clever and elegant face?
Through the pearlescent curtain, her eyes fell on King Qi's body.
The slender knuckles that turned the teacup, the flat crossed shoulders, and the thin red lips that were as blood-stained as they were all so good-looking.
He should be quiet and not like to move, every gesture has an extremely charming temperament, gently breathing, and those short words squeezed out of his thin lips are very low and pleasant.
The more she looked at Chenchen, the more she couldn't take her eyes off, with King Qi here, even the prince lost her color, her throat rolled, and she was quite coveted for a while.
There was a voice in my heart that shouted louder and louder.
Leave the lamp, you are going to die! Don't dance around in front of King Qi, it's really an eyesore!
