Chapter 126 The twists and turns, this wave is no loss!
Chapter 126 A sudden turn of events, no loss at all!
But Guo Baokun's look was too disappointed, which Wang Shan couldn't bear, so Wang Shan carefully reminded, "Actually, some precious woods are more valuable than jade and gold, and they are rarer, so Mr. Guo, if you want to
If the ruler is more expensive, you can choose a piece of precious wood to make it. The Foreign Affairs Office has a lot of precious wood in its collection, and some of the wood is priceless and can be estimated!"
"Really!" Guo Baokun's eyes lit up instantly. He didn't expect such twists and turns. It seemed like he couldn't lose his money.
"Then what kind of precious wood is suitable for making a ruler? The key point must be to be expensive, do you understand?" Guo Baokun took a deep look at the old man in front of him, hoping that he would understand and understand that the key point is the word "precious".
.
"Both Hainan huanghuali and rosewood are acceptable. In terms of material texture, small-leaf rosewood is more suitable. It is superior in terms of hardness, softness and fineness. But in terms of medicinal value, huanghuali is more suitable.
The aroma of it can regulate the human body, and it can be of great benefit to the wrong person!" As expected, Wang Shan was right and directly analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of precious wood.
"Okay, then use Hainan Huanghuali!" Guo Baokun immediately agreed with Wang Shan's suggestion with a smile.
"Master Xiao Guo, please come over there to select and see which piece of huanghuali wood is needed." Wang Shan guided Guo Baokun to a warehouse, pointed inside and introduced the wood inside to Guo Baokun.
"The Foreign Affairs Office is indeed extremely rich!" Guo Baokun followed Wang Shan into the warehouse, looked at the warehouse full of lumber with his glasses wide open, and exclaimed with emotion.
"Forget it, I'm not an expert. I'll help him choose the most expensive and best-quality piece of wood. He won't choose anymore. He's dazzled by the choices!" Guo Baokun looked at the piled wood and wondered if he didn't have the patience to choose by himself.
, just ask Wang Shan to choose for you.
"Master Xiao Guo, please wait a moment, he will come as soon as he leaves!" Wang Shan walked directly to a piece of wood, picked it up, and returned directly to Guo Baokun. It seems that he knew that the wood there was very valuable.
Because you are so familiar with the value of every piece of wood, you don’t need to look for it at all.
"Master Xiao Guo, let them go back!" Wang Shan led Guo Baokun back to the craftsman's workshop again and started directly making the ruler.
In just half an hour, a brand new ruler took shape. Wang Shan then brushed the ruler with tung oil and did various maintenance, making it more beautiful and durable.
"Master Xiao Guo, what do you think?" Wang Shan handed the ruler to Guo Baokun with a confident look on his face.
"Yes, but it's too simple!" Looking at the ruler in front of him, Guo Baokun couldn't help but think of such a simple and simple ring. It would be difficult for people to know the preciousness and value of the ruler when he took it out.
"What do you mean?" Wang Shan looked at Guo Baokun and felt a little speechless. His leg skills were not appreciated at all, which really made him very disappointed.
"Why don't you add a jade pendant!" Guo Baokun suggested directly as he thought about grabbing another one.
"Okay, what kind of jade can you choose and what style do you want?" Wang Shan completely satisfied Guo Baokun's request. After all, with Bidong's order, no one would blame him for any waste, so why should he stop it.
"Please ask for a jade cicada. Is there any Hetian Nuan Yu?" Guo Baokun opened his mouth and said no to Hetian Nuan Yu. Hetian jade is not the best among jade, and Nuan jade is not the best among jade, so Hetian Nuan is the best.
Jade is simply a priceless treasure.
"Yes, yes, the eldest princess donated a Hotan jade cicada some time ago, but the Ministry of Foreign Affairs only has this one!" Wang Shan did not expect that the young man in front of him was so greedy for money, so he spoke directly.
No Hetian Nuanyu.
"That's it!" Guo Baokun didn't expect it to be real, so he asked for the jade cicada very resolutely.
"Can you please, where is the eldest princess?" Wang Shan was worried. After all, the eldest princess Li Yunrui was in charge of the external treasury and was in charge of most of the royal family's money. It was difficult for him to explain the jade cicada without her consent.
"Why does Bidong's decree require the consent of the eldest princess?" Guo Baokun directly quoted Emperor Qing's order. After all, the head of the royal family disowned Emperor Qing, so how could the eldest princess be compared with Emperor Qing?
"He will help you get it!" Wang Shan thought of the Emperor Qing's decree explained by Eunuch Hou, and immediately knew who he should listen to, and went to get the jade cicada without saying a word.
...
In the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Qing walked in front of the table without any imperial image, holding an arrowhead in his leg, polishing it patiently on the grindstone, while casually asking about Guo Baokun's situation.
"What's wrong? Can Guo Baokun's ruler be made of jade and gold?"
"Report, Bidong, the master craftsman of the Foreign Affairs Office rejected the suggestion of using jade and gold to make the ruler, and instead used huanghuali. Moreover, Mr. Xiao Guo also decorated a jade cicada of Hetian warm jade as a gift from the eldest princess.
Yes, this is the only one in the Foreign Affairs Office!" Eunuch Hou informed Emperor Qing of all the news he had just received.
"Li Yunrui presented it. I'll tell her that the Hetian Nuanyu jade cicada was given to Guo Baokun by him. He doesn't want any misunderstanding!!!" Emperor Qing thought of Li Yunrui's domineering temper and immediately gave the order.
Waiting for the father-in-law.
"Here!" Mr. Hou responded immediately, keeping Emperor Qing's instructions in mind.
"In addition, all the spies from the Guo Mansion should be withdrawn. In the future, we can pay more attention to the news related to Guo Baokun. He asked to know as soon as possible, but if we can't plant spies outside the Guo Mansion." Emperor Qing carefully gave the details to Eunuch Hou. Guo Youzhi
As the Minister of Rites, it is normal to have spies from the Inspection Institute and the royal family outside the house, but it is different now. Guo Baokun is already a grand master. No matter how careful you are about the grand master, you cannot be too careful.
"No!" Although Eunuch Hou was doubtful about Emperor Qing's actions and arrangements, as a personal attendant who had been with Emperor Qing for decades, he knew what to ask and what not to ask, so he asked No for what Emperor Qing ordered.
, just ask for it and do it, curiosity is not something that a person like him can have.
"Your Majesty, a small incident happened in the Guo Mansion recently. The steward of the Guo Mansion was bullying the people in Fang City. He was beaten up by a young man named Teng Zijing. The steward relied on the power of the Guo Mansion to arrest the wrong party.
He was sent to the Kyoto Prefecture Prison and sentenced to death by the wrong party. Teng Zijing was rescued by the Inspection Institute and is now at home. Now Mr. Guo and Mr. Xiao Guo should be unaware of it!" Eunuch Hou told Qing the whole story truthfully.
Emperor, please tell Emperor Qing what to do.
"A housekeeper is not a slave, and he dares to bully others. He deserves to die! Teng Zijing does have the style of a man from Daqing. Since he is not a private matter of the Guo Mansion, please ask the master of the Guo Mansion to handle it himself. I'll send it to him.
Please remind Guo Baokun when he leaves the palace!" Emperor Qing thought for a while and felt that it would be better for the Guo family to handle such matters themselves.
