Long Wei shrank his hands subconsciously, feeling that if the gourd was given to Princess Xian, he would suffer a big loss.
At the same time, he explained aloud: "Princess, this glass was not given to you by Mr. Ning. Mr. Ning said that it did not meet his requirements. I hope the princess will buy some more..."
Having said this, Long Wei looked at Qin Fenglan, Cheng Yi and others present.
Although the firing of colored glaze has been successful, the news still has not spread to Princess Xian's mansion.
Not suitable for speaking in public.
Zhou Jingxian finally recovered from the joy of successfully firing colored glaze, and bowed to Qin and Cheng with clasped fists.
"I will assign ten people to each of the two young masters to protect your safety. If something like this happens again next time, just let the Beijing Guards take action to avoid hurting the two young masters."
"It's easy to talk about."
Cheng Yi responded while carefully looking at the glazed gourd in Long Wei's hand.
nice.
More attractive.
It was not the same style or grade as the glazed ornaments he had seen before.
If he hadn't spent too much money in Jinling and was still in debt, owing Brother Qin thousands of taels of silver, he would have asked Princess Xian where he got this gourd glass and how much it was worth.
correct!
They mentioned Ning Wuhao.
You can go back to Ning Wuyang and ask.
Compared with Cheng Yi who had just returned to Beijing and didn't know about the change of ownership of Huangshang, and still had relatively simple thoughts, Qin Fenglan thought more deeply.
But the ideas that popped into his head were so exaggerated that he thought they were impossible to achieve.
But if this matter is related to Ning Wuchang, it might really succeed!
Thinking of this, Qin Fenglan clenched his fists excitedly. It was so painful that he came back to his senses and realized that he had followed Brother Cheng's footsteps and walked out of the teahouse where he had temporarily rested.
"Brother Qin, before I get home and I am imprisoned in the ancestral hall and forced to kneel, take me to a new and interesting place in the capital. Of course, you have to pay for it."
Faced with Cheng Yi's showmanship, Qin Fenglan, who had always responded to Cheng Yi's requests, waved his hand seriously for the first time.
no? !
Just as Cheng Yi was about to squeeze out a tear to show his sadness and make Qin Fenglan change his mind, he heard Qin Fenglan continue to say: "Brother Cheng, Mr. Ning has not been preparing for battle these days. You and I should give priority to the competition first. I'll share Mr. Ning's worries, and let's stop having fun for now."
"But……"
"If we must have fun, Mr. Ning said that he would choose a day to hold a poetry appreciation party and then have fun on that day and say goodbye."
Qin Fenglan bowed his hands, greeted the Qin family's carriage, stepped on the horse stool, got on the carriage, and drove away.
Tuliu Chengyi was surrounded by ten Jingwei troops and stayed on the spot, frowning and thinking in confusion.
"Brother Qin, did you run so fast because there was something urgent at home that needed to be dealt with?"
He also shared Mr. Ning's worries.
He knew that Brother Qin seemed to be very polite to Ning Wuhuang, but in fact he admired Ning Wushu very deeply.
but.
"Does Mr. Ning need someone else to share his worries?"
No need!
besides.
"Isn't Mr. Ning preparing for competitions in Princess Xian's Mansion every day? Isn't Mr. Ning having fun in Princess Xian's Mansion? Anyway, I have nothing to do at the moment. How about I go to Princess Xian's Mansion to visit?"
"no."
Zhou Jingxian, who was walking by, rejected Cheng Yi without looking back, got on her horse and sped off in the direction of the Ministry of Industry.
Once again, only the rejected Cheng Yi was left standing there, frowning and sighing.
"Things and people have changed! Things have changed and people have changed! I think back then, Princess Xian pressed Brother Qin and me step by step, and she was thirsty for talents. Now we have the Qin family, Brother Qin, and Mr. Ning living in the house. You actually abandoned me and ignored me, your heart is not ancient, your heart is not ancient!"
The Beijing Guards standing around looked at Cheng Yi who kept talking. Those 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 among the four great talents, but he was only anxious for justice.
Why did he go to Jiangnan and then come back, and he would talk in the same way, like a storyteller?
The key is.
It sounds like his recent fortunes have been quite tragic.
Just thinking about it.
Cheng Yi got together with a powerful disciple who had money in his family and had a lot of fun in front of the young master who served in the Beijing Guard Army.
"Brother Li, can you lend me one hundred taels of silver? Just treat it as a donation of merit."
"Okay?"
…
In the imperial study room.
Zhou Qian has been in a good mood since he came back from court.
Su Peiyuan saw with his own eyes that those anxious and powerful families, in order to compete for the position of an imperial businessman, exposed their fox tail that was usually well hidden, and deliberately spoke in such serious terms.
She felt angry and dissatisfied in her heart, and she was looking forward to Ning Shixian's success.
Fire the glaze as soon as possible so that His Majesty can take the opportunity to teach those who dare to covet the various secret techniques and recipes that the royal family has worked so hard to collect.
Yes.
Zhou Qian knew in his heart that those powerful families or famous families all wanted to get the position of royal merchant, not because they cared about the oil and water they gained from this position every year.
He simply wanted to infiltrate the Ministry of Industry and obtain the family's secret technique that has survived for thousands of years.
"These ministers are ambitious. I am old, so they plan to bully me. They dare to let the envoys from the Western Regions bypass Yumen Pass. Don't they just think that my Zhou family can take the throne, and his Zhao family, Qian family, and Sun family The Li family can do everything. They usually talk about it, but when they find the right opportunity, they want to take a bite of my flesh. Sooner or later! Sooner or later, when the foreign troubles in the surrounding area have been completely dealt with, all the alienated families must be dealt with first! "
Su Peiyuan listened and nodded in agreement, but he couldn't help but feel worried in his heart.
The starting point for Your Majesty's unfulfilled ambition is Ning Shixian's successful firing of colored glaze.
It was originally an agreed condition to be rewarded with the position of royal merchant of the Ning family if the firing was successful, but now it has become a condition that must be fulfilled.
Su Peiyuan couldn't help but worry.
If this colored glaze was so easy to make, Loulan would not rely on it and there would be gold everywhere.
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 unreasonable disaster this time.
"Your Majesty, Princess Xian wishes to see you!"
The voice of the guard outside the door refreshed Zhou Qian's spirits.
"Is it ready so quickly? Let girl Jingxian come in quickly!"
Zhou Qian excitedly threw the memorial of the Shening family into the corner, hurriedly put on his 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 the furnaces and weighing materials for firing the glaze were just forged last night. This kind of thing had never happened before. How could it be done all at once?
Just as he was thinking this, the palace door opened, and Zhou Jingxian rushed in eagerly.
The grandfather and grandson were both walking very fast, and they were about to collide with each other.
Fortunately, Zhou Jingxian was holding the baby in her arms, and when Zhou Qian was about to hit him, she turned suddenly to the side and managed to avoid the collision.
When she stood firm, Zhou Jingxian was shocked when she saw Zhou Qian, who hurriedly stopped his feet, but because of this he threw himself forward and turned over before standing up. He rushed over and asked: "Grandpa Huang, you didn't fall, did you?" ?”
"How could I fall on such a flat ground, but it's you? What's so precious in your arms, you seem to be afraid that I will break it."
When Zhou Qian said this, an idea flashed in his mind. He held his breath and stared closely at the round thing that Zhou Jingxian had covered in the bag. He asked with a look of anticipation and disbelief.
"Could it be that what I'm holding in my arms...is the colored glaze that Ning Wuhuang has made?"
