Cao Fu.

On the concubine's bed, Cao Deli sat up with his clothes on.

His name is Cao Deli, but he was very unhappy with Cao just now, because his mind was full of treasure mirrors.

As soon as he learned the news of Baojing, he had already realized the huge profits behind it.

A delicate and clear mirror will bring much madness to these noble ladies and daughters in Zhongjing City, needless to say.

And it's not just these noble ladies, the local gentry, the wealthy families, the common people, and even the big beams in the north, the Fanbang in the west, and the barbarians in the south, the whole world, as long as they can afford it, who won't move one to their home?

Even if a mirror only sells for a tael of silver, it has to be a lot of money!

Among them, what he can be greedy for alone is the wealth that he can't even think of!

I can't spend it in a lifetime, I can't spend it in a lifetime!

Therefore, he immediately took the opportunity to take all the glass that would be used as prisoners under his own direct control, and the three glass workshops scattered in various states simply suspended, and transported the goods to Zhongjing, and then summoned skilled craftsmen to make every effort to tackle the production of this treasure mirror.

He didn't believe that what Xia Jingyun could make as a scholar, so many skilled craftsmen under his hands would not be able to make it!

But then, he believed.

I really can't do it.

So, there was this concession tonight.

But what I didn't expect was that Xia Jingyun was so strong, he let him benefit sixty percent, but he was still unwilling to hand over the secret recipe.

Although he is also thinking of turning his face when he gets the secret recipe, how can he be so ignorant!

Is it great to have a righteous sister of the imperial concubine?

Well, it's quite remarkable, at least I really don't dare to use it.

Cao Deli sighed, walked to the table and sat down, and began to think about whether he had any omissions.

After thinking about it for a long time, it was indeed not, and he relaxed a little.

Concubine De's side can only rely on His Majesty, and His Majesty must be able to calculate this account in his heart.

Since this is the case, then you can rest assured and wait for Xia Jingyun to come back to him.

When the time comes, it won't be June Fourth, or it's still June Fourth, but it's me and you'll be six.

Young people, after all, you have to pay the price for your own vigor!

Cao Deli stretched happily, picked up the wolfberry jujube tea on the table, and poured a cup of it.

——

In the Jiang'an Hou Mansion, the carriage slowly stopped.

Xia Jingyun took Zhang Dazhi and Chen Fugui down together.

Although Zhang Dazhi was branded as a concubine of the Niangniang faction, he is an official who will be a prisoner, and he does not have a strong sense of existence on weekdays, and the shortcomings of Gongsun Jing's ability and knowledge also made him not expect to take the initiative to win over, so this is the first time that the new general will be a young eunuch has come to Jiang'an Hou Mansion to recognize the door.

After entering the mansion, Xia Jingyun introduced Zhang Dazhi to Gongsun Jing.

As soon as he heard that this was a person who had formed a fighting friendship with his son in Surabaya Prefecture and had followed his mother to do things, Gongsun Jing naturally did not have arrogance, and at the same time, his heart also reacted suddenly, and the omissions in his work, and the faint unwillingness to be careful in his heart also completely disappeared.

Xia Jingyun chatted with them for a while, confessed to Zhang Dazhi, and then got up and went out for a walk.

Zhang Dazhi knew that he must be thinking about things in his heart at this time, so he didn't say much.

Looking at Xia Jingyun's back, Gongsun Jing sighed with emotion: "Gongzi is really a genius, in just a few days, Doushi Shangshu, fighting the British Duke, stabilizing the household department, and now helping Wang Langzhong win the position of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, what we have been difficult to do for several years, he actually completed it in such a short time!" It's really a blessing to have the help of the son! ”

Zhang Dazhi echoed: "Isn't it, when I was in Jiang'an County, Brother Xia was in a desperate situation, but he was able to miraculously turn the tables, not only got out of trouble, but also won the appreciation of his mother, restored his innocence, and then he was a high school Xie Yuan, these people are destined to make great achievements, we only need to follow him, and we can also achieve a feat that can never be achieved by ourselves." ”

Gongsun Jing heard the exhortation implied in Zhang Dazhi's words, thinking about his relationship with Xia Jingyun, and simply picked it out directly: "Yes, originally I wanted to compete with Gongzi, but Gongzi is so powerful, I have already put out my mind, and I can assist Gongzi with peace of mind." You look at a good situation, you have a few pounds and a few taels, and you already have a number in your heart! ”

Zhang Dazhi nodded, but this situation is not a good one!

Isn't this a big problem tonight!

On the way to come, he also thought about it in his heart, but there was no way.

The general eunuch is not valued by others on weekdays, but because of this, he has his own faction, and Eunuch Cao is determined to get involved, and Brother Xia is afraid that he will not be able to withstand it!

Xia Jingyun walked in the courtyard, and Chen Fugui followed silently behind him.

"Brother Chen, do you think I should compromise?"

Chen Fugui opened his mouth and said: "My brain, it's better not to disturb the child's thoughts." ”

Xia Jingyun smiled, and he was not reluctant.

Of course, he was not willing to compromise.

After all, he hasn't reached the point of desperation yet, it's a big deal to make his own glass, and it's not that he can't!

At the beginning, the Venetian merchants relied on this mirror technology to eat for dozens or hundreds of years, and they were so rich that they had no reason to hand over the secret recipe because of this matter!

However, although some of Cao Deli's words were intimidating, they were also to the point.

The current Great Xia is not a free-circulation commodity market, the imperial power is greater than the sky, and the prison will definitely stare at himself, under the banner of the emperor, where to get glass.

There is no glass, and where is the mirror?

Why don't you put this matter aside for the time being and make some money with a different way of thinking?

Like MSG or something?

Xia Jingyun thought big, and suddenly a small guy in the house ran over quickly, "Childe, childe!" Mr. Gongsun, please go to the main hall. ”

Xia Jingyun frowned, "What's wrong?" ”

"There's someone in the palace."

Xia Jingyun's heart jumped, and he walked quickly towards the main hall.

As I got closer, I vaguely heard a few conversations, and there seemed to be a familiar voice.

Xia Jingyun walked to the door of the main hall.

The bright light of the hall poured out from the open door and fell on his handsome face, adding a bit of softness to the angular lines of his face, but it was not as gentle as the eyes of him at the moment.

A bright figure stood in the light, tall and dignified, with a somewhat cold appearance, but at the moment it was also a little shy and excited, as if reunited after a long absence, looking at him with a smile.

Xia Jingyun stepped forward quickly, getting closer and closer.

Feng Xiuyun's originally calm smile was messy, "Eh~"

Then he was caught off guard and was directly embraced by Xia Jingyun.

"So many people!"

She hurriedly reminded in a whisper, Xia Jingyun slowly let go, then directly took his hand, and smiled at Gongsun Jing and Zhang Dazhi, who were pretending to look up at the sky, "I'll talk about it tomorrow." I'm out of company! ”

As he spoke, he took Feng Xiuyun's hand and walked out.

Zhang Dazhi and Gongsun Jing glanced at each other, and Zhang Dazhi smiled and said, "It's good to be young!" ”

Gongsun Jing coughed dryly, "Yes, it's good to be young." ”

Walking to the courtyard where he was temporarily staying, Xia Jingyun pressed Feng Xiuyun on a chair and sat down, and while helping her pour water, he asked, "Why are you out of the palace now?" ”

Feng Xiuyun looked at him resentfully, "Although I am destined to be your person, but you hug me in such a large public, and you also led me to your residence, do you really not think about my name?" ”

Xia Jingyun was stunned for a moment, and scratched his head a little embarrassed, "Then let's go out again?" ”

Feng Xiuyun sneered, "Okay, if you go out later, I'm afraid people will talk about you."

She is a woman in the end, her face is a little thinner, and it is difficult to say it when she thinks about it, "As long as you don't despise me in your heart, what do others think, what does it have to do with me!" ”

Xia Jingyun was also a little apologetic, he really didn't expect that layer, walked up to her, leaned over and held her hand, his eyes were gentle, "Don't worry, I will never do it." ”

Feng Xiuyun pulled out her hand a little shyly and changed the topic, "Today, Niangniang heard about the Ministry of Rites, she was very happy, and at the same time, she also thought that the New Year was coming soon, and there was no one by your side to accompany me, so she let me out of the palace in advance to accompany you." ”

Xia Jingyun frowned a little when he heard this, "There are so many people around me, but my sister is alone in the deep palace, except for Mama Yuan, there is not even a person who speaks considerately, and my sister thinks about me." ”

Feng Xiuyun's expression became more and more resentful, "Then I'll go?" ”

Your appearance is not suitable for such a thing......

Xia Jingyun scolded and said with a smile: "I'm here, just help me with something." ”

"Where can I consult on your business?"

Saying this, Feng Xiuyun put on a posture of listening.

Xia Jingyun told Feng Xiuyun about the situation of going to Cao Deli, as for the matter of making mirrors and selling them for money, when he talked to Concubine De in Changle Palace, Feng Xiuyun was also present, so he didn't have to bother talking anymore.

Feng Xiuyun also frowned after hearing this, "Although what this Lord Cao said is a bit exaggerated, some of his words are indeed to the point. ”

She looked at Xia Jingyun, "Do you remember the scene where Niangniang received gifts in Surabaya Prefecture?" ”

Xia Jingyun nodded.

Feng Xiuyun opened his mouth and said: "That's for Your Majesty, Niangniang took this trip and broke the iron law that the harem can't interfere in politics, but the center actually agreed, why?" One is because there was Li Tianfeng at that time with the name of Qincha, and Concubine De Niangniang was just a peer, and she could get by from the scene; The second is that His Majesty's desire to accumulate wealth is well known, and the court princes headed by Qin Xiang can only compromise and let Niangniang serve on his behalf. Now the benefits of the treasure mirror are not a secret, it is normal for Your Majesty to covet this benefit, with Your Majesty's support, this Lord Cao is not afraid of us. ”

Xia Jingyun nodded, "I just know this, that's why I feel that this Eunuch Cao really took my life." ”

Feng Xiuyun comforted: "This is also normal, unless there is a greater interest for His Majesty to change his opinion, even if Niangniang comes forward, it will be difficult to reverse the situation." ”

"Wait!"

Xia Jingyun suddenly raised his hand, "What did you just say?" ”

Feng Xiuyun was stunned, "What I'm saying is that even if Niangniang comes forward, it will be difficult to reverse the situation." ”

"No, the previous sentence!"

"I say unless there is a greater good for His Majesty to change his opinion."

"That's it!" Xia Jingyun's face suddenly became happy, "I have thought of a solution!" ”

He reached out and grabbed Feng Xiuyun's cold face, and kissed it fiercely on that delicate red lips, "You are really my virtuous helper!" Wait a minute, I'll go to the study! ”

Xia Jingyun ran out quickly, and Feng Xiuyun was stupid when she sat on the stool.

There was only one thought in my mind: Is he taking advantage of me?

While thinking indignantly, she couldn't help but stick out her tongue, lick her lips, and quietly recall the graceful touch.
