Half an hour later, Gongsun Wuji and the other four family heads came to the front hall with white-glazed blue and white porcelain. They were also stunned when they saw the elegant eldest princess.
But they reacted quickly and saluted quickly.
"I have met Her Highness the Princess!!"
Huaizhen nodded slightly, neither angry nor happy, and said indifferently: "No courtesy!"
"Family heads, please take a seat."
"Thank you, Your Highness Princess."
After another respectful chorus, the heads of the family took their seats.
Huaizhen looked at something tightly wrapped in cloth and asked, "What is this?"
"This..." Gongsun Wuji was stunned for a moment, but said truthfully: "Back to Your Highness, Princess, this is white-glazed blue and white porcelain, which Master Zhou entrusted us to buy."
"Oh, I know that this is what I want, so I entrusted it to Zhou Zhenwen." Huaizhen nodded slightly, and said as if it was natural, "Open it and show it to me."
"Yes, Your Highness Princess." Gongsun Wuji's heart skipped a beat, but he remained calm on the surface.
The other family heads were also shocked and had a bad premonition in their hearts.
Zhou Zhenwen, who should have appeared, disappeared, but the eldest princess Huaizhen, who should not have appeared, appeared...
This speaks for itself.
The cloth unfolded, revealing its contents.
White as the base, cyan embellishments, rippling blue waves, full of fairy feeling.
Blue and white porcelain jade vase, white with bluish hints, its flowers are verdant, elegant and pure.
"It is indeed a good object!!" Huaizhen showed a hint of surprise. As the eldest princess of Dahuang, she had lived in the palace since she was a child. She had seen many kinds of rare antiques.
However, the object in front of me, with this color scheme, is indeed worthy of the title of rare treasure! !
"Your Highness Princess... you just said that you entrusted Master Zhou..." Gongsun Wuji cautiously probed.
"That's right." Huaizhen looked away and nodded calmly, "This matter is indeed what I entrusted Zhou Zhenwen to find on my behalf."
"Your Majesty also likes this kind of porcelain antiques. This time when he came to Qingzhou, in addition to the locust incident, he was also looking for porcelain antiques."
"You did a good job!"
Hearing the eldest princess's praise of her pregnancy, the heads of several aristocratic families showed smiles that were uglier than crying:
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness Princess!"
"It's all what we should do!"
"Your Highness, you're welcome!!"
...
Several family heads cursed in their hearts.
Zhou Zhenwen clearly promised to help them as long as he bought this blue and white porcelain, and they all paid. Now a princess suddenly appeared and said that it was all arranged by her. People have changed. How can things be done? Come on?
But now, facing the most famous and favored eldest princess in the wilderness, how could they dare to offend her?
This matter can only be broken into pieces and swallowed in the stomach...
"By the way, before Zhou Zhenwen went to do things, he told me that you want the Qingzhou government to do something, right?" Huaizhen looked at the expressions of several people and naturally guessed what they were thinking, and took a sip of tea. , said casually.
"Master Zhou, have you told His Royal Highness the Princess?" Gongsun Wuji was immediately happy. If Zhou Zhenwen had given an explanation and Her Royal Highness the Princess came forward, it might not be impossible to do it, right?
And if Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, what extra benefits do they not need to give?
Simply kill two birds with one stone.
The head of the Tang family just felt that there was a bright future in the dark, and he couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, we are indeed a little busy, and we need your help..."
"Let's talk about it. I will consider whether to help you..." Huaizhen naturally knew what help they wanted from her, but as the eldest princess of Dahuang, with her status here, she could not take the initiative. Just say, um, okay, I'll help you.
In this case, where is the majesty of the Huang family?
Therefore, Huaizhen could only ask them to lower their profile and beg her honestly.
After several trials, I finally agreed.
This was not a deliberate attempt to show off, but the process was like this, and she was not exempt from it.
"Your Highness the Princess is like this..." Gongsun Wuji considered the words and used quite formal words to recount the matter he had entrusted to Zhou Zhenwen. Of course, his excuse this time was not Instead of selling the remaining locusts from his family, he said that a distant relative had hoarded locusts and was now having trouble getting out, so he begged him.
Speaking is an art.
What to say to whom, and how to say it.
It has always been the key to getting things done.
Talk about people when you see them, talk about ghosts when you see ghosts.
Regardless of status, what to say, and how to say it all have skills.
And Gongsun Wuji was in charge of the Gongsun family and knew this very well, so it was logical to say so.
As for the agreement with Zhou Zhenwen, Gongsun Wuji would naturally not tell it.
After all, he didn't know the relationship between the eldest princess and Zhou Zhenwen. If the relationship between the two was not harmonious, speaking out about this relationship would actually affect things.
"So this is ah!"
Huaizhen nodded slightly, showing a thoughtful expression.
When several people saw this, they naturally did not dare to rush the princess. They could only sit quietly and wait for the result.
They didn't dare to stare at Huaizhen all the time. This was disrespectful, and they would feel uncomfortable if they were caught.
As a result, they can only look at their noses with their eyes, their noses with their hearts, and look straight ahead without moving.
After a full incense stick, Huaizhen felt that the time was almost up and said slowly: "This matter is not easy to handle!!"
Hearing these familiar words, Gongsun Wuji was not surprised but happy. Is it hard to handle? That's what can be done! !
Just like Zhou Zhenwen’s excuse earlier...
It's done! !
"Her Royal Highness, if Her Royal Highness can help, our five aristocratic families will definitely follow Her Royal Highness's lead. If there is any need, we will be there at our call!!"
"your Highness......"
Gongsun Wuji sent him all kinds of free and kind words. For him, as long as this matter was completed, everything would be easy to talk about.
As for being obedient and always on call, in Qingzhou, their territory, there is no problem.
But if the eldest princess returns to the capital with her pregnancy in mind, she is beyond the reach of the whip, and they still care about her?
Therefore, following one's lead is nothing more than a temporary means to appease the other party.
Huaizhen didn't know this, so she wouldn't agree so easily. After pondering for a while, she said, "I will accept this white-glazed blue and white porcelain for Your Majesty... Well, the treasury is tight recently, everyone." The head of the family has a great business in Qingzhou, don’t you plan to express your gratitude?”
As soon as these words came out, they still didn't understand what Her Highness the Princess meant...
This requires them to pay for management! !
"Can we contribute to the wilderness? To contribute to His Majesty? To share the worries of Her Royal Highness the Princess... We must be duty-bound." Gongsun Wuji immediately agreed.
"Your Highness, our family has contributed one hundred thousand taels of silver. Looking at this figure, are you satisfied?"
The other four family heads also turned their attention to Huaizhen, waiting for her answer.
"You also spent a lot of money to buy white-glazed blue and white porcelain. I will forward your thoughts to His Majesty. Donate according to your ability!" Huaizhen did not say he was satisfied, nor did he say he was dissatisfied.
But Gongsun Wuji understood the meaning.
This matter is settled! !
"Don't worry, Your Highness Princess, everything is of our own free will, and we will definitely do what we can." Gongsun Wuji said respectfully.
"Please rest assured, Your Highness Princess!!"
The other four said in unison.
