Concubine Wu Hui's first reaction was to find Zhao Zhe to complain.
"Sister Lin is getting more and more excessive, she thinks about her for whatever the benefits of the concubine, but this child's speech is too poignant, and in her eyes, the concubine is not as good as the little girl in Yongfu!"
Zhao Zhe looked inexplicable, "You are my favorite woman, why do you want to compare with Yongfu?" ”
Concubine Wu Hui was angry, "Sister Lin said that Yongfu is the eldest princess, fostered in the name of the queen's mother, and her identity is more valuable than Fengxiang's, and she also said that the pearl curtain is only worn by her." The concubine is just a joke, this kid didn't save any face for the concubine. ”
Zhao Zhe watched Yongfu play polo that day, and suddenly thought of his former self, so he didn't comfort her as Concubine Hui expected, but nodded approvingly, "Linlin has always been the most knowledgeable, Yongfu is a child with a good heart, and she is a veritable eldest daughter of the emperor." ”
Wang Linzhi knows the general situation, so isn't it uninteresting for her to sue Wang Linzhi again?
After Zhao Zhe finished speaking, he got up and left, he didn't mean to stay in Qingsi Hall at all, and after careful calculation, he hadn't stayed for a long time.
Concubine Wu Hui lowered her head blankly, thinking about it, she didn't know what she had done wrong, and after thinking about it carefully, she found that she was even more attentive to Zhao Zhe during this period of time than when she had not yet entered the palace, but he was even unwilling to coax himself!
Does this man have another woman in his heart?
As soon as this thought came to mind, it disturbed her and gradually began to lose sleep.
"Put the rest of the pearl curtain in the silver building to consign, shout for 150,000 yuan, and sell nothing." Wang Linzhi explained Amber in detail.
Unsurprisingly, Amber's eyes widened, and her face was surprised and a little incredulous.
These two pearl curtains were also strung by her at the beginning, and she was afraid that she would suffer a loss if she didn't know how to do it, so she specially invited Mama Li to accompany her, and the total cost of buying small pearls was 20,000 taels, and the manual cost was 10,000 taels.
Maybe the colored beads given by the queen are worth it.
Amber was afraid that she would make a mess, so she deliberately found Mama Li again and repeated it according to Wang Linzhi's words.
Although Mama Li was also a little surprised, she didn't make a fuss like Amber, but only told her, "If someone asks you about this pearl curtain, you will say that you don't know." ”
Mama Li has always been very powerful among their subordinates, and although Amber doesn't understand why she is doing this, she instinctively knows to do what Mama Li says.
After about a month or two, Mama Li personally found Wang Linzhi, "County Lord, the pearl curtain you asked Amber to consign has been sold, a total of 160,000 taels, excluding the handling fee of 8,000 taels in the silver building, there are 152,000 taels, all in this box." ”
Wang Linzhi took the box very calmly, "Can I find out who bought the pearl curtain?" ”
Mama Li curled the corners of her mouth, "It's the steward of the Wu family, and it is estimated that it was bought and given to Concubine Hui." ”
It's just expected, Wang Linzhi nodded slightly, and instructed Yingluo, "Mama helped us do a big business, quickly take out the best pastries and tea to comfort her old man." ”
Yingluo smiled and agreed.
Mama Li couldn't refuse, so she sat down on her feet, "That colored bead is really rare, but you can sell it at this price." ”
There is still a strong reluctance between the words, and Wang Linzhi is not short of money, but this colored bead may not be bought with money.
"Don't worry, Mama, I know it in my heart, you wait and see, don't tell A-Niang first." If A-Niang knew, she would definitely feel uncomfortable.
Mama Li wanted to speak and stopped, when the Wu family sent things into the palace, the queen mother would definitely be unhappy when she saw it, but now that the majesty of the county lord is growing, even she doesn't dare to express her opinions at will.
"If Niangniang asks, I will explain, don't worry, Mama."
Look, you don't have to say it yourself, the county lord has already thought about it, Mama Li responded "yes" with kindness, and only remembered when she got out of the door of Qinglian Ju, where did Wang Linzhi leave her to eat tea, and the original intention of the people was to tell her not to talk nonsense about it.
Since when did the innocent little girl gradually become incomprehensible?
Although the princess's mansion looks good from the outside, as the princes grow up, they are gradually in the whirlpool, and neither of the Empress Dowager Liu and Concubine Wu Hui is a fuel-efficient lamp, and it is a good thing that they can't see through
Mama Li sighed, but she didn't tell Princess Qingyang about it, and she kept it a secret for a while.
Soon it was winter again, when the plum blossoms in the imperial garden were in full swing, Concubine Wu Hui held a small banquet in the Qingsi Palace, saying that small is not too small, and the ladies and girls above the fourth grade were invited, and many people even guessed that Concubine Wu Hui was looking at each other for the seven princes.
At the door of the side hall of the Qingsi Palace, a very beautiful pair of colorful pearl curtains are hung, which not only have pearls of various colors, but also diamonds, agate, and coral, which are more gorgeous and precious than the one that Wang Linzhi gave to Princess Yongfu at the beginning.
Wu Xuejiao saw that Wang Linzhi was looking at the curtain, and couldn't help but hide her sleeves and laugh, "Although Concubine Hui didn't get the curtain from the county lord, I didn't expect to get a better one." ”
"I thought this was the one that Princess Yongfu had changed, and only this gorgeous jewelry could be worthy of our beautiful and fragrant Concubine Hui.
Three years have passed in a flash, and Concubine Wu Hui, who is now thirty-seven years old, looks like a girl in the year of Huaxin, she does not show her old age at all, and she has some unique charm and charm, otherwise how can she be favored in the harem of Emperor Changsheng for so many years without decay and love?
Concubine Wu Hui does have the capital to be proud.
"This curtain is worth at least 300,000 taels!" Wu Xuejiao glanced at Wang Linzhi proudly, and smiled meaningfully: "Except for Concubine Hui, I'm afraid that no one is worthy of it." ”
Wang Linzhi also laughed, and then said solemnly: "Just whisper this to me, if it reaches the ears of the Queen Mother, I'm afraid I will be unhappy." ”
In her previous life, Concubine Wu Hui still wanted to tie up with Empress Dowager Liu, and if she had good things, she would send them over first, and coax her to join forces to deal with Queen Wang, but she was angry with Wang Linzhi last time, and she didn't expect this layer at all, so she only cared about showing off herself. People are like this, they will always be more impulsive when they are angry, and Concubine Wu Hui is no exception.
"Or, does Concubine Hui want to use it herself, and then let the Queen Mother use her to pick the rest after she uses it?" Wang Linzhi looked innocent.
Wu Xuejiao glanced at Wang Linzhi vigilantly, "Don't talk nonsense, Concubine Hui is the most filial, and she will not miss a gift for the Queen Mother." ”
Wang Linzhi also nodded, "Yes, there are so many good things for Concubine Hui, and this pearl curtain alone is enough to open people's eyes." ”
Wu Xuejiao showed a curious look, "I heard that the queen also rewarded you with a lot of colorful pearls that day, I counted them specifically, it seems that Princess Yongfu's pair is not used so much, presumably the county lord also has a very beautiful pearl curtain." ”
Wang Linzhi smiled, "I only like silver and pink, and the other colors are too old-fashioned, twilight, and only suitable for the elderly." ”
Wu Xuejiao was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, turned around and stopped pestering Wang Linzhi.
When she returned to the princess's mansion, Wang Linzhi directly explained to Zhang Lixing, "When you release the news, you will say that Concubine Hui is very extravagant, and it costs two or three hundred thousand yuan to hang a sub-curtain casually, where did all this silver come from?" ”
Zhang Lixing laughed: "Weichen sent people to the north and found that there was not only illegal salt, but also a large number of iron tools that were sold outside the customs, but they were not sure that they were from the Wu family. ”
Wang Linzhi: "Then take it slow for a while, and impeach the Wu family for extravagance first." ”
In this way, there will definitely be people to consider the source of luxury, now it is a peaceful and prosperous era, and Emperor Changsheng also wants to be a Ming monarch, presumably there are still many upright officials in the imperial court.
