Chapter 29 Because of Favor
Yao Jiaxin understood the next day what His Majesty the Fourth Master meant by looking at him before leaving.
Early in the morning, Zhang Qilin, the white and chubby chief administrator of the imperial front, brought four or five little eunuchs to send more than a dozen fine satin materials and a box of jewelry in one go.
"Long live the Lord has a purpose: give the noble Yao Jia's two silk satins, ten makeup satins, and a set of gold silk heads!"
Yesterday, I thought she was dressed too shabby!
Tsk, the concubine was sick for a night before, but she only got two pieces of makeup, and she was already very happy.
His Majesty the Fourth Master rewarded her with ten pieces of makeup satin at once, oh, and two more luxurious silk satins! Yesterday, the robe of His Majesty the Fourth Master was made of silk satin!
The emperor's dragon robe and the concubines' auspicious clothes are all made of silk satin with specific patterns, and in addition, the silk satin paid by the Weaving Bureau every year is only a few dozen! Although the makeup satin is luxurious, the three major weaving bureaus can always pay tribute to hundreds of horses every year, that is to say, the output of silk satin is only one-tenth of the makeup satin, and its value is naturally needless to say.
The preciousness of silk satin lies in its concave and convex texture, as if carved on satin.
The two silk satins in front of him, one is a marigold-yellow background with a hundred flowers and dragons, and the other is a moon-white bottom with a green peach butterfly pattern - most of the silk satin is gorgeous and rich, and it is rare to see such a plain one. There are also ten pieces of makeup satin, the color is either green and tender, or plain, not red and purple, mostly lotus pink, goose yellow, blue, water red, snow blue and other elegant colors.
As for why, it was naturally ordered by His Majesty the Fourth Master himself, and Zhang Qilin was asked to open the inner library, pick out some light satin materials, and reward them to Yao Jia's family.
This is really hard for Mr. Zhang, the satin material in the inner court is mostly gorgeous and bright, or it is deep and atmospheric, and it is not related to lightness, Mr. Zhang Da tossed for a while, only to find out these qualifications, and then sent them in a hurry.
After being surprised, Yao Jiaxin quickly returned to normal, she smiled and said, "Thank you for the emperor's reward, these materials are elegant and pleasant, I like them very much." ”
Manager Zhang's white face smiled: "It's good if the nobles like it, these are all a piece of the heart of the Long Live Lord." Long live the lord also ordered, the noble person is weak, and your charcoal case will be doubled! ”
Yao Jiaxin was slightly stunned, His Majesty the Fourth Master was really still dissatisfied with her sleeping with the mandarin duck in her arms, but said: "The emperor is so generous, I really can't repay it." ”
As she spoke, she glanced at Manager Zhang: "I really didn't expect that this little thing would bother Father-in-law Zhang to run in person, Father-in-law is really hard." ”
Zhang Qilin wiped the hot sweat on his head, and hurriedly said: "The Heart Cultivation Palace is close to the Yongshou Palace, where is it hard, the nobles are serious." Saying that, Zhang Qilin glanced at Wang Yicheng, "Xiao Chengzi is a eunuch who beats the palace in the palace, and he is clumsy in Su Ri, if he doesn't serve well, the nobleman just beats and scolds him, and he doesn't have to show mercy!" ”
Seeing this, Wang Yicheng knelt down, "The slave must serve the little master with all his heart, and there is no second heart!" ”
Yao Jiaxin: ...... This scene was a bit unexpected for her. Mr. Zhang Qilin, this is in ...... Pleasing her? She suddenly remembered the days of vegetarian fasting during the New Year's Festival, wasn't it thanks to this Zhang Da Steward?
That's why Zhang Qilin wanted someone from his faction to be the leader of the Yongshou Palace.
I really can't underestimate these eunuchs, they kneel when they say they kneel, and their stature is as low as the dust every minute, as if they have no self-esteem. But in fact, in front of those disgraced concubines, Manager Zhang Da is very dignified and dignified.
So, it's all because of ...... She's spoiled.
Although Yao Jiaxin still doesn't understand why she can be favored, she has no confidence in herself and feels that she can't be favored for too long.
So, how dare she take revenge on Manager Zhang? What's more, Zhang Qilin's target was Concubine Mao, she was just injured by mistake.
So, she showed a gentle smile: "Gonggong Zhang is serious, Wang Yicheng is a person rewarded by the emperor, and I naturally trust and rely on it very much." ”
Hearing this, Chief Manager Zhang Qilin's heart, which had been uneasy for a long time, finally settled down a little, "Thank you for your magnanimity. ”
smiled and said a few polite words, Yao Jiaxin asked Wang Yicheng to send Zhang Qilin out of Yongshoumen.
Su Yu and Nong Yun were all overjoyed, Su Yu helped her to sit down on the couch, and said with a smile: "Little master, it's spring, you should also cut a few new clothes, and the needlework people at the bottom have to keep them busy." ”
Each palace is equipped with a certain number of needleworkmen, but according to the rules, the needlework people, the pot and stove masters (that is, the eunuchs in the dining room), the lamp masters, and the pulp washing masters are all sent by the lord of the first house. Yao Jiaxin had no authority to order this group of people.
But now......
She nodded, "I see that the moon-white silk peach butterfly finch satin is good, and the lotus pink magnolia folding branch satin is also very good, so ask the needle and thread to start making two new sets of clothes first." "——I didn't pay attention to clothes and jewelry before, because she, an old nobleman, has always been in a difficult situation, even if she has to spend money, she can't be too public, so she has to spend it on eating, drinking, and nourishing her body.
Now that it is the satin material rewarded by His Majesty the Fourth Master, there are still eight needlemen who listen to the command, why doesn't she use it?
Women love beauty, how could Yao Jiaxin not like beautiful new clothes?
Yesterday, His Majesty the Fourth Master stayed in Yongshou Palace for half a day, and today he suddenly dropped a generous reward, which surprised the Sixth Palace for a while. If you talk about the previous palace, many people still waited and watched too much, but now everyone understands that Yao Jia, an old nobleman, is really going to soar.
Therefore, after the afternoon, Concubine Qi, Concubine Ning, Concubine Mao's housewarming gifts were sent successively, Concubine Qi's congratulatory gift is the most valuable, is a pair of green jade Taiping elephant - is an elephant back dragging the bottle ornament, meaning the four seas are peaceful, auspicious and peaceful, as a housewarming gift, it is indeed more suitable. The ornaments of the ruler can only be regarded as small ornaments, but this is carved from the whole piece of green jade, the color is light and warm, and it is not ordinary at a glance.
Ning Concubine and Concubine Mao sent jewelry, Ning Concubine sent a jade gourd, the size is just right to nest in the hand to play, the jade is thick and green, and the color is absolutely thrown off the pair of jade bracelets in her private box Ten streets! And what the concubine sent was a golden step, golden and heavy, and it definitely wasted a lot of gold, but it was a little cheesy.
Coupled with the congratulatory gifts from the three nobles that followed, he was really rich now.
Yao Jiaxin suddenly thought that it would be Concubine Ning's birthday in a few days, and someone gave such a valuable jade gourd, if she gave that silver kettle, I am afraid that she will be said to be stingy.
"Su Yu, wrap up the silk satin of the marigold yellow flowers and dragons rewarded by the emperor, catch up with Ming'er Ning Concubine's birthday, and add it as a birthday gift."
In the blink of an eye, two days later, Ning Concubine's twenty-eighth birthday, Yao Jiaxin couldn't go - her eldest aunt came.
