Chapter 257: Something to worry about
The queen hurried from the theater with a group of concubines.
As soon as Concubine Zhao arrived here, she saw that her son was beaten, and when she heard that she was named, she immediately became angry.
It is good to be able to tie Cheng Ziyu's reputation to her son, but obviously her son's reputation is more important at this moment, this Wenlan, the more she looks at it, the more unpleasant she becomes. How can such a woman be worthy of her precious son?
Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that there was a vassal backer behind this girl, and there was an inexhaustible amount of silver, such an unruly woman would be a concubine, and she would definitely not look down on her!
After the queen got the queen mother's signal, she was menacing and brought a lot of people.
As soon as Wen Lan saw this group of people from a distance, she immediately understood that the queen and the queen mother had the intention of covering up this matter. The queen mother, the old witch, has been quiet for so long, just waiting for the queen to bring enough manpower, right? Hehe, the Queen Mother, deliberately maintained a high posture in front of her, but in fact she was a bad belly and short-guarded.
At this time, Wen Lan was bent on seeing the fate of Zhu Chang'an, Wang Yue and others, how to make these people get their wish.
She had already taken precautions, so from the moment Cheng Ziyu wanted to destroy the corpse, she had been kneeling by the brocade box. It's just right now, it's time to arrive. Even the prince's favorite retainer Li Chun and several high-ranking officials arrived.
In this way, this scene is not something that these people can hide if they want to.
Wen Lan pouted and smiled, put her hand on the brocade box, and then looked at Cheng Ziyu.
"That's the Queen Mother's birthday!" Cheng Ziyu looked serious and reiterated it.
Zhu Changan and Concubine Zhao, who was running over, subconsciously looked at each other, and the faces of the two who didn't know why twitched at the same time...... Birthday present? What fell to the ground was their customized birthday gift?
No way? The two looked at Wang Yue at the same time.
"Princess, that's really a birthday gift that the fourth master ordered from Miss Cheng!" Wang Yue was crying so much that the pear blossoms brought rain.
Concubine Zhao was excited, her back was cold, and she almost stumbled down.
Zhu Changan's legs are also a little soft.
The birthday gift he ordered from Cheng Ziyu was overturned? The one on the ground crooked to the side is the goods he ordered back for thousands of taels of silver?
"Then let's see, won't we?" Wen Lan snorted, grabbed the brocade box before Zhu Chang'an, who was rushing over, and lifted the brocade box up......
After the seal of the box was torn off, the hidden buckle had already been pulled open by Vinlan in the pulling room. Later, when he fell to the ground, he rolled a few times, and it was very unfortunate that it was covered at the bottom, and the bottom was on the top.
At this moment, Vinlan quickly lifted the box up so simply and rudely, and the consequences can be imagined.
When the whole brocade box was more than a foot above the ground, the lid of the box naturally fell, and then everything in the box was scattered......
Ding Ling's voice came.
The floor was littered with broken pieces of ceramic - what was inside.
Then there was a muffled sound, and it was a letterhead that landed.
And Vinlan's hand speed was fast, and the brocade box was raised in her hand, and with that arc, countless fine powders ran out of the brocade box, and were blown by the night wind, and they were actually floating all over the sky......
Everyone was shut.
Under the reflection of dozens of lanterns, if you look closely at the powder, it actually has a glowing light......
Vinlan frowned, she was also wondering where the fine powder came from. A lot of fine powder fell behind her pale yellow clothes, some with red, some with green, and some with blue and purple...... It emits fine fluorescent light, and it looks amazing!
But she didn't have time to pursue this at the moment, so she hurriedly rushed to the letterhead that fell to the ground.
"See? This is the evidence that Cheng Ziyu and the four princes have privately taught and received! What was broken on the ground was their secret love object, and it was not a birthday gift at all! Wen Lan raised the letterhead in his hand.
However, it was only then that she realized that the letterhead was thicker than she had imagined......
Many of the people present believed Vinlan after seeing the letterhead, and they couldn't help but take a deep breath, and the sound of discussion began to appear......
The queen's people were a step slower, and this "ugly thing" was still exposed in front of everyone, the queen was so angry that she stomped her feet, and the queen was even more gloomy.
Wen Lan glanced at Cheng Ziyu, and saw that the other party was not in a hurry, still calm as usual, and felt a little panicked in her heart. But she had the confidence she had before, so she should have recognized Cheng Ziyu's composure as a forcible pretense.
Taking advantage of Wen Lan's distraction, the letterhead in her hand has been snatched by the queen's grandmother. Vinlan was afraid that the evidence would be destroyed and was eager to stop it.
"Enough! What do you think of the mourning family and the queen! ”
The Queen Mother wrinkled her eyebrows, and she was extremely disgusted by Vinlan's arrogance.
"The mourning family and the queen are here, and allowing you to spill it here is already giving face to the Korean country. Why, on my territory of Da Zhou, you are a princess of a subject country who still has to cross the mourning family and make a decision with the queen on my royal affairs? The mourning family warns you, you haven't married yet! ”
Vinlan was wrong and wrong, so she could only kowtow obediently and admit her mistake.
The letter reached the Queen Mother.
Before the Queen Mother opened it, she glanced at Cheng Ziyu.
At this time, Cheng Ziyu didn't see any nervousness, but squatted down next to the pile of broken ceramic pieces that no one paid attention to, sighed distressedly, and then looked at the Queen Mother with guilt......
The envelope was opened.
There was a letter in it, and the Queen Mother carefully read it from beginning to end, and then handed it to the Queen......
There was also a piece in the envelope that looked like a booklet and a post. After opening it and looking at it carefully, the queen was even darker, and her chest rose and fell.
After reading the letter, the queen stretched her neck and looked at it again, and then sneered.
After Wen Lan, who was kneeling on the ground, felt the anger in front of her, she was still secretly rejoicing, until the booklet and letter paper smashed in front of her......
"This is what you call evidence? Are you dreaming or have you drunk too much? What a North Korean princess who does not distinguish between right and wrong, is paranoid and arrogant, and fears that the world will not be chaotic! The Queen Mother's anger rose.
Vinlan felt a chill on her back and picked up the letter with trembling hands.
"How is that possible?" She finished reading it in a few breaths, then picked up the booklet and read it, got up and leaned over to the pile of broken ceramics, and sat down on the ground......
"How is that possible? How can it really be a birthday gift? ”
"Otherwise?" Cheng Ziyu raised her eyes and did not hide the sarcasm in her eyes. "I told you more than ten times before and after Wang Yue, saying that this is a birthday gift, and it is you who insist on believing that this is evidence that I am cheating with the fourth prince......"
Vinland's face was discolored, and even her hands were trembling.
She had been on the tip of the bull's horns from the beginning, and she had thought a lot, but she didn't think about the consequences of guessing wrong......
And at this time, Concubine Zhao and Zhu Changan, who had already figured out what had happened from the mouths of the onlookers and from the conversations of Wen Lan and others, looked no better than Wen Lan.
Concubine Zhao snatched the letter from Wen Lan's hand, this was indeed a letter from Cheng Ziyu to Zhu Chang'an. It's just that what I explained above is her conception of this birthday gift and the fulfillment of Zhu Changan's birthday gift request...... Politeness, detachment, is the general explanation between buying and selling, that's all!
As for the booklet, it is a treasure book of documents that is generally ordered for collection and appreciation. The above is marked with the name of the work, the author, the raw materials, the ingredients, the process, the production time and the modeling drawing, as well as various original books, flower seals, private seals and appreciation seals, etc.
It's really just a cargo!
"An'er, this ...... Broken, is it the birthday gift we ordered? ”
"Indeed!" Cheng Ziyu took over.
She has been waiting for this moment for a long time, how can she let Zhu Changan get rid of it. "When the four princes came to order that day, they made a lot of demands for this goods. My goods are tailored according to the requirements of the four princes......"
"Cheng Ziyu, don't lie! How can this be a birthday gift? I'm also used to seeing big scenes, you are so simple, how can such a small ceramic longevity peach be the queen mother's birthday? After reading the original picture on the treasure book, Wen Lan realized that this brocade box contained a ceramic longevity peach, and she had to question it.
At this point, in fact, everyone is also a little confused.
Judging from the debris on the ground, this gift should be a little bigger than a fist! Even if Miss Cheng's craftsmanship is skillful, this is too shabby.
"Cheng Ziyu, the Queen Mother is a big birthday, you use such a gadget to fool you, do you look down on the Queen Mother and don't take the Queen Mother in your eyes? Then you're guilty of disrespect! Wen Lan's eyes sharpened.
Cheng Ziyu didn't expect that Wen Lan would think of a response so quickly.
It's a great one! Fortunately, it was removed early, and if he stayed by Zhu Changan's side, he would have to become a pair of poisonous fangs sooner or later.
"Why don't you listen to the folk girl before making a judgment?"
How could Cheng Ziyu let go of Zhu Changan easily, since she had made up her mind to collect debts from Zhu Changan, she would have to liquidate all the money.
So, Zhu Changan deliberately made things difficult when ordering in order to get close to her that day, and she also used it.
She had already listed all the requirements made by Zhu Changan that day on the letterhead, and the Queen Mother was dumbfounded.
At this moment, she naturally wanted everyone present to know that this fourth prince was unreliable.
"As listed on the letterhead and remarked in the booklet, the goods of the Minnu were all fired according to the requirements of the four princes.
The fourth prince said that day that his request was simple: it only needed to be stunning and not glamorous; Plain and elegant but not plain; To be simple and expensive, light and respectful, clear and bright! Flowers, birds, cordyceps, characters and things, ornaments and pendants can be, the theme should be distinct, the implication is that the head should be good, and you can't commit taboos......"
At this moment, the atlas and letter paper had been taken by several noble concubines, and when everyone circulated it, they heard about this request, and they all gasped and showed disdain for Zhu Chang'an. These four princes look polite, and they really don't want to behave so poorly......
The fourth prince thought that his request was simple, but the people felt that it was not easy. At that time, the information told by the four princes was too little, and the folk girl did not know that this was for the birthday of the queen mother......
Amazing and glamorous, the folk girl can only start with the craft, using the clam light that the folk girl is good at, the whole pottery is brilliant, absolutely amazing. At the same time, it also meets the requirement of 'clear and bright'.
Plain and elegant: This requires that the color cannot be light and not thick, and it naturally cannot be too complicated, so that the characters, flowers and birds can only be excluded. In terms of glaze, it took effort to pay attention to it, and the main pink was light yellow with white, and the transition was slow, which also met the requirements of the four princes.
Simple and expensive: the folk women did not dare to add more decoration, and the colorants were all made of fine stones, and the peach handle was made of gold. Therefore, although this birthday gift is a little smaller, as a birthday peach that can be played with bare hands, and the image can be messed up with real life, it is definitely a boutique! ”
While Cheng Ziyu spoke, she knelt down in front of the Queen Mother full of self-blame.
"If I had known that this gift was needed by the Queen Mother, the people's daughter would not have been so shabby."
In fact, when Cheng Ziyu explained this, everyone not only no longer thought about the birthday ceremony, but instead sympathized with Cheng Ziyu who was troubled.
The queen snorted and glanced at Zhu Changan with a smile.
"No matter how gorgeous this gift is, it will end in pieces. Miss Cheng has worked hard, and her efforts have been in vain. ”
The queen succeeded in provoking the anger of the Queen Mother.
"Nonsense thing, that's how you customize a birthday gift for the mourning family? Your mind is all on the troublesome business, and you don't necessarily have any filial piety at all? You are so mean, so unwilling, and not afraid to become a laughing stock! ”
"Don't be angry, An'er is the most filial, there must be other reasons." Concubine Zhao hurriedly pulled Zhu Changan. "Queen Mother, this is all Miss Cheng's words, you can't just listen to her prevarication and beat An'er to death, why do you have to listen to An'er's explanation......"
Cheng Ziyu grabbed in front of Zhu Changan and kowtowed again.
On the same day, the four princes personally went to the Chengjia boutique to order, and he said that he could trust the level and vision of the people's daughters, and everything depended on the people's daughters...... At that time, many people were present, in addition to my Cheng family and others, many businessmen heard it. The people's daughter didn't dare to lie, but asked the Queen Mother to see ......
There are also documents signed with the four princes, which are clearly written in black and white, and there are the handprints of the four princes to prove the authenticity. If necessary, the maiden can send someone to fetch ......."
Cheng Ziyu looked sincerely frightened.
Zhu Changan opened his mouth, but he could only hum. What he feared most had happened.
He just didn't expect that the goods he ordered would have an accident in this way because of Vinland...... Zhu Changan couldn't help but clench his fists tightly, he could only swallow this loss.
At this moment, Concubine Zhao had already raised her head and rolled her eyes.
Two thousand taels of silver, just gone? Gone!
This is still a trivial matter, the key is that the Queen Mother's birthday is only a few days, where else will she go to find a birthday gift? If they can't even get a decent birthday gift, wouldn't their mother and son be smiling and generous? Isn't the son suspected of being unfilial?
Also, the Queen Mother's birthday gift was smashed...... If this omen is held accountable...... How to carry the anger of the Queen Mother? The emperor is a filial son, this thing is difficult to be good......
After all, the birthday gift is An'er's ding, it is An'er's concubine who holds this birthday gift, and it is An'er's future daughter-in-law who smashes the birthday gift.
The more Concubine Zhao thought about it, the more sad she became, so she only wiped her tears in her son's arms.
