"Grandpa Huang's eyes are really like torches, and he can see it at a glance."

Zhou Jingxian didn't sell it either.

She knew that Grandpa Huang had sent someone to keep an eye on the county lord's mansion.

But according to Long Wei beside her, Mr. Ning was not satisfied with this gourd glass at all.

I'm afraid that those palace guards who watched from a distance only thought that the firing failed and didn't report it to the palace, otherwise they didn't have to wait for her to come, but they were afraid that the imperial grandfather had found a reason to go to the county lord's mansion to check.

And Zhou Qian's performance also verified her guess.

After getting her affirmative reply, Zhou Qian himself was startled, realizing his gaffe, he quickly restrained the kind smile on his face, and said with a straight face: "Jingxian girl, the stakes are very high, you can't talk nonsense in order to make the emperor's grandfather happy, is it fired out, but the firing failed?" ”

"Mr. Ning said that he did not live up to his expectations."

That's right.

Zhou Qian sighed secretly: Sure enough, the higher the expectation, the more disappointed he will be.

He was about to say a few more words to encourage Jingxian girl, so that Ning Wuxian could try it with perseverance.

Zhou Jingxian had already taken the cloth bag away, revealing the yellow gourd glass.

The faint light outside the hall entered, hitting the gourd glaze, reflecting a bright light, like the dazzling gold.

Although its brilliance is not as good as gold, in Zhou Qian's eyes at this time, it is much more precious than gold!

Such a piece of gold is worth a few thousand taels at most.

But such a well-fired superb glass is worth more than 100,000 taels!

In particular, this craft is combined with the cultural heritage of Daxing, and it is stronger than the foreign aesthetics of Loulan!

"Jingxian girl, this is what Ning Wuxian said, a failure that did not meet his ideals?"

Even Zhou Qian, who had seen many storms, tried his best to restrain his emotions, and his voice was still trembling when he spoke.

And for this performance of the imperial grandfather, Zhou Jingxian can understand.

Because when she saw this gourd glass, she was also very excited, and when Long Wei said that it was a failure, she also didn't understand.

But that's just the way it is.

"Mr. Ning said that this glass is only a trial production, and it was blown by him, and there are many small flaws in it, so he sent Long Wei to bring this failed product to me, and asked me to go to the Ministry of Industry to dispatch a group of craftsmen suitable for firing the glaze.

Forgiveness?

Zhou Qian laughed and said: "Jingxian girl, you look like you sometimes don't understand the world, but for the control of major things, in the eyes of the imperial grandfather, you haven't done anything wrong, you did it right, in this case, you should cut it first and then play, and you can't delay Ning Wuxian's work." ”

As he spoke, he walked towards Zhou Jingxian and stretched out his hand.

Zhou Jingxian suddenly understood what he meant, and gave the gourd glass away.

Zhou Qian trembled and took over this homemade glass ornament with both hands, reached out to touch the smooth and round surface under the gourd, and couldn't help but look at the carved dragon glaze on the shelf.

The carved dragon glass is said to have taken a lot of effort to produce, but its appearance is not as round as this gourd, not to mention, the inside is not as transparent as this gourd.

Although there are indeed uneven highlights in this gourd, it adds a texture of gathering brilliance because of this.

Zhou Qian kept coiling the gourd in his hand, he couldn't put it down, and the corners of his mouth were almost behind his ears, and he didn't realize it.

Seeing this, Su Peiyuan hurriedly knelt down and said hello.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, Mr. Ning's failed products are better than the best glass ornaments sold by Anbaolou, and we will replace the position of Loulan glaze in Daxing glaze, just around the corner!"

"Shhhh Don't make a noise yet, it's just a failure, and when you really succeed, it's never too late to say hello. ”

The smug expression on Zhou Gan's face made his rhetoric seem very unconvincing.

Fortunately, Su Peiyuan was just icing on the cake, and for His Majesty's modesty way, he also hurriedly whispered "Yes", walked to the door of the palace, and closed the door of the palace to prevent secrets from leaking.

Zhou Jingxian didn't realize how tacit understanding there was between the imperial grandfather and Su Peiyuan until the palace door was closed.

I understand the emperor's expectations for the glaze, which may not be limited to the success of firing.

Thinking of the courtiers who participated in her early this morning, eager to swallow her alive, and then rip off the special court clothes of the Ministry of Industry Supervisor she was wearing, she was vaguely aware of the emperor's intentions, but due to the relationship between thinking habits, she could not figure out the deep meaning for the time being.

That's it.

She is not good at doing these scheming things at all, so she should just do her part.

"Grandpa Huang, you have also seen the failed products, if you like this kind of gourd ornament, I will go back and ask the craftsmen to make a perfect one for you?"

"Not necessarily."

Zhou Qian played with the gourd with both hands, and simply shook his head to show that he rejected the proposal.

He looked at this gourd ornament with kind eyes, looked at the jubilant gourd glass, and seemed to see Ning Wuxian's harmless and pleasing face.

Rather unharmed.

There are indeed big materials.

Ning family.

It's really up to the task!

"Jingxian girl, recently you have been busy guarding the safety of talents from all walks of life, helping to maintain order in the capital, and supervising the firing of colored glass, you have worked hard."

"Grandpa Huang, this glass is an important item of my Zhou dynasty, not only for the benefit of the present generation, even if it is hard, it should be, and I just gave an order, and the real hard work is those craftsmen and Mr. Ning."

Mentioning this, Zhou Qian also nodded approvingly.

After thinking about it, he said to Zhou Jingxian: "After a while, I will draw up a holy decree to reward those craftsmen, as well as all the officials who participated in the firing of glaze this time, but all those who have a grade, all the officials will enter a grade, and they will be rewarded with half a year's silver, and those who have no grade will appoint royal craftsmen for life, so that they can concentrate on staying in your county lord's mansion and continue to be responsible for the next firing. ”

Zhu San's Clan?!

Zhou Jingxian rarely saw the emperor's grandfather punish anyone so heavily, so she knew that she was right just now.

Grandpa Huang really planned to use the matter of firing glaze to make a big fuss.

I don't know if it will affect Mr. Ning because of this.

"Also, about the matter of me rewarding the Ning family, you should also be able to see what I mean."

"Grandpa Huang is saying that he wants the Ning family to take over the affairs of the imperial merchants?"

Zhou Jingxian is not the unfavored daughter of King Kang's Mansion who was blinded before.

She is now the lord of Sanpin County, who opened her own mansion, and she still understands the basic rules of the court and the royal behavior.

The imperial grandfather allowed the Ning family to take over the Qiao family mine and ordered the royal grant to mine, although it was for the reason of burning the glaze, but the imperial grandfather did not use the Qiao family mine for the royal use, but let the Ning family mine alone, this practice shows the imperial grandfather's trust in the Ning family.

Then, the emperor's grandfather wanted the Ning family to succeed the Qiao family as the imperial businessman, and just waiting for the glaze to be fired successfully, it was a matter of course.

"Jingxian girl, although the position of the imperial merchant is six grades, it can be regarded as entering the court, but this imperial merchant is the position of a businessman after all, and no one in the Ning family can take on this important responsibility except for Ning Wuxian, do you think he will accept it if he rewards Ning Wuxian as an imperial businessman?"

Zhou Qian's tone turned into a cautious temptation, his eyes flickered, and he was still a little weak.

Before the glass firing is successful.

He felt that the conditions of this imperial merchant were very suitable.

Ke Ning was unharmed and successfully fired the glass so quickly.

plus Ning Wuxian's talent and what he did before.

Zhou Qian was a little uneasy in his heart.

What if this condition is not in line with Ning Yu's appetite?
