71. Chapter 71
Hu Wanchou's face became very ugly. At this time, he had already woken up from the joy of victory, and was scolded by his master Fan Qingyun in a place where no one was left.
But no matter what, at least Fan Qingyun has always been concerned about it. It is finally safe to win the jade supply business instead of the Xiao family.
Just after the jade hawking ended, the emperor smiled and said, "This jade carving competition reminded me of Yao's original advice - if the country wants to prosper, it must be used without any restrictions. It was Yao's words that allowed the group of ministers who were in their prime and had their own strengths to exchange for the revival of the Wei Dynasty. Therefore, I must do this in this competition. Not only can the winners pay tribute to jade, but the second place can also supply jade together, so that the two can specialize in the in-depth way of jade carving together!"
After hearing this, the nobles immediately praised the emperor for his long-term thoughts and thought, and asked the two to supervise each other. If they were not the only one, no one would be lazy.
However, Lord Fan's face suddenly became not very good-looking, and he gave his eyes to his apprentice.
Hu Wanchou understood this time very quickly and immediately advised the emperor: "Master, this Miss Yuan does not have the support of the jade shop. Although the carving is exquisite, he cannot take over the royal offerings alone. Since the emperor loves talents, it is better to ask this Miss Yuan to come to my shop to serve as the jade carving master. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"
Before the emperor could speak, the taciturn Grand Marshal, who had been silent on the side, said, "Isn't it just a shop? Miss Yuan will open one immediately. Do you want you, a jade-carved pope, to do things?"
This crime is very serious, and Hu Wanchou immediately accused him repeatedly and dared not speak out.
After hearing this, Yuzhu really breathed a sigh of relief in her heart and immediately thanked the emperor for his long grace.
Although this competition was not as good as Yuan Yuzhu's first wish, who could defeat Fan Qingyun and his shameless people who copied their father in the name of Yuan Zhongyue's daughter, they had achieved another wish, which was to naturally become a businessman for the royal royal offering, to restrain Fan Qingyun, and then dig out the handle for him to use jade as a mess and harm the dragon vein!
When she came out of the palace, King Guangjun found a loophole and said a few words to Yuzhu. The general meaning was that if she wanted to build a shop and choose a jade workshop, he could do his best to contribute money and effort.
However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the Grand Marshal who came over.
When Yuzhu left the palace, the Taiwei did not stay and attend the subsequent banquet with the nobles, but also left the palace with Yuzhu, and his words were no longer as evasive as before.
According to the original intention of the Taiwei, this time, the little woman was the best to fulfill her long-cherished wish to become famous in battle. After getting her wish, she could settle her mind and marry her and have a child.
For some reason, when he mentioned getting married, he always got bored, but when he thought of marrying the sixth girl, he felt a sense of eagerness to try. This woman was lonely and helpless in the world. Fortunately, God treated her well and told her to meet him and fell in love with him. He always wanted to give this miserable girl a bit of worldly sweetness. She told her husband to rely on and children to expect.
But now, the Taiwei's careful plan was disturbed by the foolish emperor. When the emperor mentioned that he had called Yuzhu to become the supplier of the Jade Carving Emperor, he intuition wanted to reject it.
The wife of the Grand Wei Taiwei Duke and Hou, who wanted to become an imperial merchant? It was a huge joke! But she refused and couldn't bear it at that time, because he clearly saw that her little face, which had been pale since the results of the competition were announced, suddenly added a few more exciting colors at that moment. If she poured her cold water in front of everyone at this time, wouldn't she be sad?
Thinking of this, Yao Muye rarely hesitated for a moment, thinking that he could only find some face for her and dismiss her when she got married.
With this idea in mind, he ordered Yuzhu to get on his carriage and said to her: "This competition is also completed. Hu Wanchou is Fan Qingyun's disciple after all. Although you are not as skilled as others, you have fulfilled your skills and impressed everyone. This time you go home, you have to have a good rest. You are not allowed to enter the workshop again in the past few days. I asked the doctor to cook the medicinal food that nourishes the mind and nourishes you. You have to take it every day and take it well! In a few days, I will send the maid to you. The housekeeper in the mansion will also prepare for the purchase of the wedding. If you have any requests, just make sure to make a promise with the housekeeper."
After hearing this, Yuzhu's heart was shocked and she held her breath and said, "The Grand Marshal of your marriage does not seem to have reported Mrs. Yao. Such a major event seems to have to be decided by the wife."
The Grand Marshal reached out and took her into his arms. He felt that his softness had not been reviewed for several days. He could finally play with her unscrupulously tonight. After listening to Yuzhu's words, he casually said: "My mother no longer expects me to get married. Now that I have changed my mind and decided to marry and have children, she is naturally happy. Why not disturb her leisure with these common things? She has only set her days and prepare everything and tells her mother to write a list of guests."
In fact, the Taiwei did not want to be extravagant. One reason was that it was time for war, so it was not appropriate to waste it. The second reason was that Yuzhu's identity was too low. He was a grand Taiwei and marrying a woman from the northwest was not something worthy of Xuan Zhang. If you want a few friends, give this woman an identity, and get married in a low-key manner, you can't let his first child bear the unknown identity of an illegitimate child.
Yuzhu heard that the Taiwei seemed to have made arrangements and said anxiously: "But the emperor has appointed me as the imperial court merchant. If it is marriage, it is probably not convenient?" The Taiwei was too lazy to pay attention to the imperial edict of the son of God, and he was determined to return home quickly and get close to the little woman well.
That night, Yuzhu was left in his room by Yao Muye. The brocade quilt was surging and rolling very comfortably. During this period, Yuzhu wanted to get out of bed because of her intimidation, and was also tangled by the Grand Marshal and forced to stay on the bed. The ingenious sky-high room pot came in handy immediately, but this should have been used by a man and was given to a woman. It really tests the skills of the serving people.
After such a mess, Yuzhu was so angry that she stopped talking to the Taiwei since she got up. On this day, Taiwei didn't need to go to the morning court, so she had breakfast with Yuzhu when she got up. For this breakfast, the chef made a raw fried steamed bun, sprinkled a layer of chopped green onions and stirred it, which was very fragrant. The skin of the raw fried steamed bun was frozen and fried and melted. After taking a bite, it was full of fragrance. Chicken sauce was added to the meat filling and sucking the fresh juice in it carefully. It was amazing. I also prepared the pumpkin-flavored stem porridge, which was soft and sweet, while the side dishes were crispy radish, which was very appetizing and delicious.
Taiwei Yao ate sweetly, but seeing that Yuzhu didn't move her chopsticks, she only took advantage of the maid's time to go out to serve the water and asked in a low voice: "Why is my face so narrow? Didn't I serve very well yesterday? Yuquan flew into the curling, without splashing in front of others. Even if the picky master is, he will only consider it satisfied!"
Yuzhu didn't want to recall the moment of embarrassment. She only icy face and put a fried steamed bun in the bowl of the Taiwei, saying, "Please ask the Taiwei to eat quickly. If it is cold, it will be bad."
The Taiwei knew that the beauty’s implication was that “Even if you eat, you can’t block your evil mouth!” He smiled again, and then he persuaded Yuzhu to eat more, but Yuzhu had no intention of talking to him, thinking about how to reject the absurd marriage of Taiwei. If it became a marriage, it would really become an unavoidable nightmare.
After breakfast, the Taiwei left the mansion to run the business. Yuzhu returned to her room, took a shower and changed her clothes, and was combing her hair, she heard the maid come to report to Mrs. Yao and ask Miss Yuan to come over and discuss something.
When Yuzhu heard this, he asked Jue'er to comb her hair for her, change her clothes and hurried to her wife's courtyard. The lady was teasing a parrot with bright fur in the garden. Seeing that Yuzhu was coming, she smiled and said, "Congratulations to Miss Liu first. Although I didn't go yesterday, Shuting said that you have shown your power and finally lived up to the preparations for so many days."
Yuzhu hurriedly said, "After all, I am inferior in the skills. I am embarrassed in front of the emperor and the nobles."
Mrs. Yao smiled and said, "We women's family look at things, and they are a little different from those real men. Those who are first and second, and it's okay to give in. As long as the final result is achieved, it's good. This jade competition is nothing more than choosing a royal royal offering. Although you get the second, you have already obtained the ace of the imperial offering. What's the difference between it and the first?"
When Yuzhu heard this, her mind moved slightly and she whispered: "But the Taiwei means that she doesn't seem to be willing to take over the royal offering."
Mrs. Yao held Yuzhu's hand and came to the table, poured a cup of tea for her, and said with a kind look: "He, a big man, is thinking about national affairs all day long, how can he deal with the small matters of firewood, rice, oil and salt? For example, yesterday, he spent ten thousand gold yesterday and handed over a sky-high price. This not only fulfilled the reputation of the Yuzhu girl, but also made him lose all the property of the wise ministers of the Great Wei Dynasty and support the military pay. But after that, how to pay the money and how to transition the daily expenses in the mansion were, he did not do his business at all, but required the management of the mansion to coordinate and calculate carefully, and then the account book was delivered to me. As for where the income came from, how to pay the money, then he did not do those management of the mansion, but fell on me, a woman."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Yao's slender shoulders seemed to be overwhelmed and she sighed slightly: "Now you have become an imperial merchant. In addition to offering royal lords, the first-class and rich business of the court can also fall into your store. Although everyone despises merchants, this is extremely noble to do so for the royal family. If Miss Yuan likes it, why should she be discouraged by the words of Jingtang who is not as good as the world's fireworks?"
