Chapter 35: Visitors from Chang'an (First Update)
The Xiao family's dowry to Xiao Rongyue includes two porcelain workshops and two silk weaving shops, as well as more than ten shops in Jiangning Mansion and six Zhuangzi with 500 acres of land.
Xiao Rongyue sat in the carriage and listened to Zhan's mother talking to herself about the things in the porcelain workshop: "...... The first picked He Gui to be in charge there, that is, to see that he had been in the porcelain workshop for many years, and he was very handy in taking care of it, so the Lang master handed over the two kilns to him to manage, and he was still thinking about kowtowing to the lady in the past two days, and he heard that the lady was sick before he gave up. ”
It is rare for Zhan's mother to work so hard to say good things for a person, Xiao Rongyue glanced at her: "He Gui is related to his mother?" ”
Zhan's mother smiled from ear to ear: "The lady is really wise, then He Gui is a cousin of the slave family." ”
That is, the people of the Koyanagi clan.
Xiao Rongyue smiled and didn't mention this, but chatted with Zhan's mother: "Mom's family is on an errand in the Xiao family? Are there any other relatives? ”
He also instructed Sanqi to bring a plate of jade dew and send it to Zhan's mother.
Zhan's mother hurriedly smiled and thanked her, and then she said in detail: "...... Most of them are in Changzhou Zhuangzi, and the errand in the house is just the slave and the family one, as well as Tu'er, and then He Gui's family is still competitive, and he is in charge of the porcelain workshop. ”
Xiao Rongyue smiled when she heard this: "Then you can't compare to He Gui's family, being in charge is a fat poor." ”
Mother Zhan pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled: "That's, that's, He Gui's family bought a small mansion in Jiangning City, although they only had to enter the second place, but they also had a place to stay." ”
Xiao Rongyue pursed her lips and smiled, pretending not to see Zhan's mother's idea of loss and jealousy, and asked Sanqi: "Did you have someone hand over the message to the fang?" ”
Sanqi responded crisply: "I have ordered them to prepare the wine vessels with azure glaze after the rain, and the stewards are waiting." ”
When I arrived at the porcelain workshop, Xiao Rongyue saw four neat four cages, which were indeed a complete set of rain-soaked azure glazed wine utensils, wine cups and wine pots, as well as bowls and wine ladles, very delicate and small, the most rare thing was the glaze of the rain over the azure, soft and deep, looking at it will teach people to love it.
Xiao Rongyue glanced at it twice, then ordered someone to seal it, and asked the chief steward He Gui: "Can you leave two sets?" ”
He Gui nodded hurriedly: "According to the lady's instructions, I left two sets that were not loaded in, and I will ask someone to send them to the house in a while." ”
Xiao Rongyue looked at He Gui, he was really shrewd and slippery, otherwise how could a mere Xiao family slave buy a house in Jiangning City, it can be seen that there is no shortage of benefits in the porcelain workshop.
She didn't wear it either, but just sat idly and listened to the stewards of the porcelain workshop go back to the workshop one by one, waiting for the person who took the wine to come, wanting to see if she could get some news of Chang'an from the person who came.
The day before, Xiaoyanagi said that Lang Jun from Chang'an pointed out the wine vessel that wanted to rain over the azure glaze, and she suddenly remembered that the azure glaze after the rain was the most rare and valuable.
However, this glaze is the most popular with His Majesty today, the cups and bowls commonly used in the Zichen Hall are all glazed after the rain, but those are made in the Xinping official kiln, only for the royal use in the Zichen Palace, and there is no more.
If they were allowed to ask for such a large number of wine vessels...... Calculate that the next month will be the birthday, and Your Majesty will inevitably give a banquet to Ziyun Tower, so these wine vessels can come in handy!
This must not be His Majesty's idea, His Majesty is afraid of worrying about the expedition to Anxi at this time, and has no time to pay attention to these, so I am afraid that this matter is not the idea of the prince or King Yu, and it is the right servant who shoots Erlang Changyun, is it King Yu?
Xiao Rongyue's heart was pounding, it didn't matter whether the prince or King Yu was in the end, what she wanted to know was the Marquis of Ruyang's mansion!
The scene she saw in that palace seemed to appear in front of her eyes again, it was obviously such a fragrant scene, but it also made her feel cold all over, her soul was scattered, and she didn't have time to escape...... Could the Marquis of Ruyang Mansion also be implicated by her, what about him? Will the prince let him go?
She became more and more uneasy in her heart, so she simply stood up, waved her hand and asked He Gui and Zhan's mother to go down, leaving only Sanqi and Guangdan to serve by her side.
After waiting for more than half an hour, He Gui came in and replied: "Here, people are in the shop." ”
The outside of the porcelain workshop is a shop, and inside is a porcelain kiln and Zhuangzi, Xiao Rongyue put on a hat and walked quickly to the shop with Sanqi and Guangdan.
As soon as I entered the door, I heard Chang Yunzheng say unhappily: "...... I know that this glaze is the most rare, but I want to be courteous on it, and I have to let Gorou come in person, and I have traveled thousands of miles to Jiangning Mansion, and I haven't got half a good word. ”
Xiao Rongyue's steps couldn't help but pause, holding his breath, it's not King Yu, it's the prince!
That Wulang chuckled: "Originally, it was also my job, and it was rare to have a chance to come to Jiangning Mansion to have a good time, don't you also have this heart, otherwise you have to come over in person when you can let your subordinates come." ”
This voice was not familiar, Xiao Rongyue frowned and thought for a moment before leading someone into the shop.
When He Gui saw her coming, he hurriedly saluted the two forked hands: "This is the owner, and the two Langjun have anything to ask the owner to say." ”
The two didn't expect that the owner was actually a woman, their faces were a little embarrassed, Chang Yun glanced at Xiao Rongyue a few times, and saw that she couldn't see her face clearly while wearing a hat, so she lost interest and sat down crookedly on the couch: "It's just a few boxes of wine vessels, Gorou, let's leave after you see it, Huang Liu also set up a table later, saying that he ordered a few newcomers who can sing, let's not delay." ”
That Wulang was slender, his eyes were deep, his gaze stopped on Xiao Rongyue, and then he bowed with a slight smile: "I have seen all the boxes of wine vessels, they are all good, I want them, and the owner can only open his mouth for as much as he wants." ”
Xiao Rongyue stared at the Wulang through the curtain of the hat for a long time before she recognized the person in front of her, and was taken aback, it was Cheng Mo, Huainan Houfu Wulang.
But how could it be him? At the beginning in Chang'an, Cheng Mo was a well-known prodigal, and he was driven out of the house by Huainan Hou several times, if it weren't for the distressed old lady of Huainan Hou, he left him after hard persuasion, Rao is like this, he is already infamous in Chang'an, only known about the sound of dogs and horses, if it weren't for the fact that he had seen him from afar at the Yuan Dynasty meeting, Xiao Rongyue would almost not recognize the person in front of him.
But he came to Jiangning Mansion, together with Chang Yun, the Chang family is King Yu's people, but he was the prince who came to buy wine vessels.
What's going on?
