"Customized model? What do you mean, your statement is quite new." Queen Ma asked with a smile.
Han Du immediately explained: "Empress Mingjian, the meaning of this custom-made model is that whatever the empress likes, we will make it exactly according to the empress's wishes. However, ordinary dressing mirrors are made by Chen It is called the ordinary model, and there are only a few styles, and each style is similar. But the customized model is different, each one is unique."
Can it still be like this?
Queen Ma's eyes suddenly lit up, and she was very curious about Han Du's statement. He was about to speak, but was interrupted by Lao Zhu's fake cough.
Then he said: "Oh? I'm not in a hurry for the customized ones. Just give me twenty regular ones first."
"According to the order."
At Lao Zhu's signal, Han Du bowed and exited the hall.
After Han Du left, Lao Zhu couldn't help but turn to Queen Ma and asked: "Sister, where did you know about the dressing mirror? What do you want this dressing mirror for?"
"A few days ago, Mrs. Mu from the Marquis of Yongchang came into the palace and told me how magical it was that she had a dressing mirror. I asked casually where she got it from, but she said it was Han Du It's a gift." Queen Ma said nonchalantly. "I'm just thinking that this Han Du doesn't even know how to send you good things, so I can just ask for them, right?"
After hearing this, Lao Zhu didn't know whether he should blame Han Du for not sending the dressing mirror to the harem immediately, or whether he should blame Mu for showing off and being seen by girls. After thinking for a while, he had to explain to Queen Ma: "Han Du reported it to me immediately. I didn't ask him to be sent to the palace. Even if you want it, sister, you shouldn't ask for twenty at once. Is that much?"
After hearing this, Queen Ma not only didn't look guilty at all, but sneered and said: "I don't want so many, but I'm not the only one in this harem. Don't some people even know how many concubines they have?" do you know?"
After all, Queen Ma is still a woman. Although she is not against Lao Zhu's concubines, she even maintains harmony between them. But Queen Ma was the first to follow Lao Zhu after all, and for a long time, Queen Ma was the only one beside Lao Zhu. But later, Lao Zhu frequently took concubines. It was impossible for Queen Ma not to be jealous.
Lao Zhu also understood that he owed Empress Ma on this point, so he did not continue to argue with her, and sighed and asked: "Sister, do you know how much Han Du plans to sell this dressing mirror for?"
Empress Ma shook her head subconsciously, and when she saw Lao Zhu stretched out a palm with five fingers spread out, she subconsciously said: "Fifty strings?"
"It's five hundred strings."
Queen Ma was shocked when she heard this. If it was fifty guan, it would just be a joke on Han Du, but if it was 500 guan, would it be different? Twenty is ten thousand guan. Although this is not Han Du's own, it doesn't sound good to say that Queen Ma received 10,000 guan at once.
"Then what should we do? How about asking Han Du not to give it away?" Queen Ma was about to regret it.
Lao Zhu sighed, "Forget it, you've already given the order, why should you take it back? Just let him deliver it."
Seeing that the emperor really didn't care, Queen Ma breathed a sigh of relief. Wanting to lighten the atmosphere, she asked with a smile, "Han Du really reported it right away?"
Why is Lao Zhu angry? Lao Zhu will naturally not be angry. Although the vanity mirror sells for 500 yuan, the cost is pitifully low. Queen Ma has been with him all her life, so asking for a few dressing mirrors is nothing. The reason why Lao Zhu said that just now was mainly because Queen Ma could have asked him for what she wanted, but she went to Han Du instead, which made Lao Zhu a little dissatisfied.
But it's no wonder that Queen Ma doesn't know what's going on here.
Lao Zhu nodded, reached out from his arms and took out the mirror that Han Du gave him at that time, and said, "This is what Han Du gave to me at that time."
Queen Ma reached out to take it and opened it. The bright mirror made the corners of her eyes curl up. "Well, it's really good. It's exactly the same as what Mu said. It's crystal clear and every detail is visible."
After admiring it, Queen Ma naturally put the mirror in her arms and put it away.
When Lao Zhu saw it, his eyes suddenly widened, and he pointed at Queen Ma and asked, "Sister, what do you mean?"
"Your Majesty, since you took it out, isn't it for me?" With a smile, Empress Ma squinted her eyes and said with a smile, "I thank you, Your Majesty."
"When did we tell you to give it to you?" Lao Zhu asked blankly. Seeing Queen Ma's indifferent expression and not having the slightest intention to take out the mirror, he could only sigh, waved his hand and said, "Take it away. Take it away. Take it away, out of sight and out of mind."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Of course Queen Ma would not be polite to Lao Zhu, so she turned around and left with a mirror.
When Han Du left the palace, his mind was still confused.
That's it, done?
I took off my pants, is this the result? Although this result was a little different from what Han Du Tanghe thought, it was much better than what they thought, so Han Du didn't care.
According to Han Du and Tang He's thinking, the emperor's urgent summons was probably because of Zhu Xiongying's death. If this is really the case, Han Du really doesn't know how to get out. After being taught a lesson by Tang He on the boat, Han Du no longer wanted to get involved in Zhu Xiongying's affairs, and was even a little afraid to avoid it.
Fortunately, for some unknown reason, Lao Zhu did not mention Zhu Xiongying's matter again, but instead became concerned about the briquette workshop.
He looked back and let out a long breath. Han Du did not go home directly, but turned around halfway and came to Xinguo Duke's Mansion.
After being led in by his servants, Han Du saw Tang He.
Tang Hezheng was wearing a national uniform, sitting upright in the study, with a tense look on his face. When he saw Han Du entering the door, he relaxed and asked, "You're back?"
Han Du looked at Tang He as if he was ready to bring money to the palace at any time. As for what Tang He did when he entered the palace, it goes without saying that it must have been to prevent Han Du from being punished by the emperor, so that he could set out to intercede for Han Du as soon as possible.
Han Du bowed his hands in salute, nodded, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Duke Xin, for your kindness, for making him worry."
Tang He waved his hand and sighed and said, "No need for these false courtesy, it would be great if you could come back. It seems that the emperor is not looking for you because of His Majesty's affairs, right?"
Han Du nodded and without hiding anything, he briefly told Tang He about the conversation with the emperor.
