Chapter 537: The Expectation Rises
Long Wei subconsciously shrank his hand, always feeling that if this gourd was given to Lord Xian, he would suffer a big loss.
At the same time, he explained aloud: "County Lord, this glass was not given to you by Mr. Ning, it was Mr. Ning who said that this thing did not meet his requirements, and I hope that the county lord will invite a few more ......."
Having said this, Long Wei looked at Qin Fenglan, Cheng Yi and the others who were present.
Although the firing of glaze has been successful, the news has still not spread out of the Xian County Lord's Mansion.
It is not appropriate for the public to speak.
Zhou Jingxian finally recovered from the joy of successfully firing the glass, and bowed to Qin and Cheng.
"I will assign ten people to each of the two sons to protect your safety, if this happens again next time, just let the Jing Guards do it, so as not to hurt the two sons."
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say."
Cheng Yi responded and carefully looked at the glass gourd in Long Wei's hand.
Pretty.
More durable.
Unlike the glazed ornaments he had seen before, it was not a style and grade at all.
If it weren't for the fact that he spent too much money in Jinling, he was still in debt, and he owed Brother Qin thousands of taels of silver, how could he ask Lord Xian, where did he get this gourd glaze, and how much was it worth.
That's right!
They mentioned Ning Wuxian.
It's okay to go back and ask Ning Wuxian.
Compared with Cheng Yi, who had just returned to Beijing and didn't know about the change of ownership of the imperial merchants, there were still relatively simple ideas, but Qin Fenglan thought deeper.
But the idea that popped into his head was so exaggerated that he thought it was impossible to achieve.
But if this matter is related to Ning Wuxian, maybe it will be successful!
Thinking of this, Qin Fenglan clenched his fists excitedly, and it hurt him so much that he came back to his senses, realizing that he had followed in the footsteps of Brother Cheng and walked out of the teahouse where he was temporarily resting.
"Brother Qin, while I haven't returned home and been imprisoned in the ancestral hall and punished, take me to the emerging fun place in the capital to play, of course, you have to pay for it."
In the face of Cheng Yi's treasure playing, Qin Fenglan, who has always responded to Cheng Yi's requests, waved his hand seriously this time.
No way?!
Cheng Yi was just about to squeeze out a tear to show his sadness, so that Qin Fenglan could change his mind, so he heard Qin Fenglan continue: "Brother Cheng, Mr. Ning has no intention of preparing for war these days, you and I should give priority to the competition, share Mr. Ning's worries, and have fun for a while." ”
"But ......"
"If you have to have fun, Mr. Ning said that he would choose a day to hold a poetry appreciation meeting, and then have fun on that day and say goodbye."
Qin Fenglan bowed his hand, beckoned the carriage of the Qin family, stepped on the stool and got into the carriage, and walked away.
Remaining in it, Cheng Yi was surrounded by ten Jing Guards, staying in place, frowning and thinking in confusion.
"Brother Qin, is this an urgent matter at home that needs to be dealt with, so why did you run so fast?"
also shared Mr. Ning's worries.
He knew that Brother Qin looked like he was unapologetic to Ning Wuxian on the surface, but he actually admired him deeply.
But.
"Does Mr. Ning need someone else to share his worries?"
No, you don't!
And also.
"Isn't Mr. Ning preparing for the competition in the Xian County Lord's Mansion every day, is Mr. Ning having fun in the Xian County Lord's Mansion? Anyway, it's okay to be idle at this time, why don't I go to the Xian County Lord's Mansion to visit? ”
"Nope."
Zhou Jingxian, who was walking by, refused Cheng Yi without looking back, turned over and rode towards the Ministry of Works.
Once again, only the rejected Cheng Yi remained, standing in place, frowning and sighing.
"Things are not people! Things are not people! I think that at the beginning, the county lord was forced to me and Brother Qin step by step, and I was thirsty for talent, but now that I have the Qin family and Brother Qin, and Mr. Ning lives at home, I actually abandoned me, people's hearts are not ancient, people's hearts are not ancient! ”
The Beijing guards standing around looked at Cheng Yi who was chattering incessantly, and the people who knew Cheng Yi couldn't help but want to cover their faces and pretend that they didn't hear or see.
In the past, Cheng Yi was the most unreliable of the four talents, but he was only anxious for justice and righteousness.
Why did you go to Jiangnan and come back, and talk one by one, like a storyteller.
The point is.
It sounds like he's been miserable lately.
Just thinking about it.
Cheng Yi got together to a powerful disciple who had money in his family and money in his hands, and was in front of the prince who was serving in the Beijing Guard.
"Brother Li, can you lend me a hundred taels of silver? It should be donated merit money. ”
"Okay...... Yes? ”
……
Inside the Imperial Study.
Zhou Qian has been in a good mood since he came back from the court.
Su Peiyuan saw with his own eyes that those powerful families who were so anxious to jump their feet that in order to compete for the position of an imperial businessman, they showed their fox tails that were well hidden on weekdays, and deliberately said so seriously.
I was angry and dissatisfied in my heart, and I was expecting Ning Shixian to be angry.
The glaze will be fired as soon as possible, so that His Majesty can take the opportunity to teach those who dare to covet the various secret techniques and secret recipes that the royal family has so hard to collect.
Yes.
Zhou Qian knew in his heart that those powerful families or famous families wanted to seek the position of this imperial businessman, not because they cared about the oil and water obtained by this position every year.
It's just that I want to infiltrate the Ministry of Industry and obtain the secret technique and secret recipe of the family that has not fallen for thousands of years.
"These courtiers are ambitious, and when I'm old, do I plan to bully my old man and get dizzy? They dared to let the missions of the Western Regions countries bypass Yumen Pass, didn't they just think that my Zhou family could do this throne, and his Zhao family, Qian family, Sun family, and Li family could do it. Sooner or later, when the surrounding external troubles are completely cleaned up, all those dissenting clans must be rectified first! ”
Su Peiyuan also nodded in agreement when he heard it next to him, but he couldn't help but worry in his heart.
His Majesty's unpaid ambition started with Ning Shixian's successful firing of glaze.
Originally, it was an agreed condition to reward the Ning family's imperial merchant position if it was successfully fired, but now it has become a condition that must be completed.
Su Peiyuan couldn't help but worry.
If this glass is so easy to fire, Loulan will not rely on this thing, and it is full of gold.
I hope that Your Majesty has made an expectation of failure in his heart, otherwise, I am afraid that the Ning family will suffer an unwarranted disaster this time.
"Your Majesty, Lord Xian asks to see you!"
The voice of the guards outside the door lifted Zhou Qian's spirits.
"Is it ready to fire so quickly? Let Jingxian come in! ”
Zhou Qian excitedly threw the fold of the Shenning family in his hand into the corner, and hurriedly put on the dragon boots and rushed towards the door.
Su Peiyuan couldn't laugh or cry when he saw His Majesty's eagerness.
How is that possible, Your Majesty!
He remembered that he had only forged the stoves, weighings and other materials for firing the glass last night, and this kind of thing had never been precedented, so how could it be all at once.
Just thinking like this, the door of the palace opened, and Zhou Jingxian rushed in in a hurry.
The grandfather and grandson were walking in a hurry and fast, and they were about to collide together.
Fortunately, Zhou Jingxian was carrying the baby in her arms, and when Zhou Qian was about to collide, she suddenly twisted to the side, which was able to avoid the collision.
When she stood firm, Zhou Jingxian saw that she hurriedly stopped her feet, but because of this, she rushed forward, and Zhou Qian, who turned over and stood up, was startled, and hurriedly rushed over and asked, "Grandpa Huang, you didn't fall, did you?" ”
"How could I fall on this kind of flat ground, but you, what such a treasure are in your arms, as if you are afraid that I will be crushed."
When Zhou Qian said this, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, he held his breath, his eyes were firmly fixed on the round things that were covered by Zhou Jingxian in the cloth bag, and he asked expectantly and incredulously.
"Is it the ...... in your arms? Is it the glass that Ning Wuxian fired well? ”
