It really doesn't matter what the gift is. What is important is that the gift must have the seal or mark of the former warehouse of the Tenth Prince's Palace.
The few gifts Wang Chengen selected for Jiang Wan were not expensive at all, but they all met Jiang Wan's standards. As expected, the gift list and gifts were delivered to the concierge of Wei Zhongxian's foreign residence. Jiang Wan only stayed for a cup of tea.
The people from the Wei Mansion invited Jiang Wan in with a smile.
There is also a study room in the Wei Mansion. Like all residences of high-ranking officials and nobles, there is also a place to discuss important matters in the Wei Mansion. Although Wei Zhongxian is illiterate, Eunuch Wei feels that there must be a study room.
The last time Jiang Wan's treatment was just a few words with Wei Zhongxian in the flower hall, but this time, he was led directly to the study. Obviously the treatment had improved a lot. In this study, Wei Zhongxian had probably seen a lot of people.
, but Jiang Wan asked herself that when it came to official positions, she was probably the smallest and smallest one.
Across the study room, I could hear Wei Zhongxian's laughter. Unlike most eunuchs, whose laughter was as shrill as a drake's crowing, Wei Zhongxian's laughter was somewhat rich. This was probably because Wei Zhongxian entered the palace relatively late.
It has something to do with it. There are rumors among the people that Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka family were "eating rivals" in the palace. However, some people with dark minds have speculated that this may not be a real rivalry. Eunuch Wei may actually have some special skills.
Hearing the call from the person in front of him, Jiang Wan put aside the messy thoughts in his mind, felt a little chilled in his heart, smiled at the person leading him, and walked into the study.
"Look, this is the little guy sent by His Highness King Xin to give gifts to our family!" Wei Zhongxian pointed at Jiang Wan and said to the people around him: "It seems that His Highness King Xin also knows that he has wrongly blamed our family, kid.
You are thin-skinned and embarrassed to speak, so you can only treat our family in a roundabout way!"
"Dalang usually treats the King of Letters with respect, and the Nu family has always been sincere to the two brothers. There are just some things. We two really do it for their brothers' good, but their brothers don't appreciate it. That's what we call you and me."
Sad things!"
A thin and soft voice sounded next to Wei Zhongxian. Jiang Wan's heart moved and she immediately understood who the woman who spoke was.
He lowered his head and bowed his hands respectfully: "Professor Jiang Wan from the Tenth Prince's Palace, see Eunuch Wei, see the Holy Empress!"
"Okay, tell this little guy what's going on. I've seen the stuff, and it's not a treasure. Next time something like this happens, don't ask me to join in the fun!" A thin and soft voice came from Jiang Wan's side.
Piao Guo: "I'm going back to the palace tonight. You should go to the palace early tomorrow!"
Wei Zhongxian responded vaguely, and Jiang Wan felt a gust of fragrant wind blowing past him. He did not dare to raise his head to look at the consecrated empress. It was not until the soft footsteps of the consecrated empress disappeared that he dared to raise his head slightly.
Get started.
From the beginning to the end, the consecrated empress did not even look at him or say a word to him.
"Okay, she's gone!"
Wei Zhongxian's voice seemed to be a little cheerful after Hakka left: "Jiang Wan, it's the little guy from Jinyiwei Nanya. I don't know if I brought it to our family or you deliberately perfunctory our family. These things were sent to us."
Come here, do you think our family lacks this thing?"
"Father-in-law, calm down!" Jiang Wan looked at Wei Zhongxian's coquettish behavior and felt a little amused in her heart: "The gift I bought for my father-in-law is already on the way. Jiang Wan has already sent someone from Haojing'ao, Guangdong to deliver it here. When it arrives,
In the capital, Jiang Wan will deliver it to my father-in-law personally!"
He looked at the two gifts he had sent in front of Wei Zhongxian: "As for these gifts, they are the wishes of my Tenth Prince's Palace. Just like Eunuch Wei said, it doesn't matter whether they are valuable or not. What is important is that the Tenth Prince's Palace has this intention."
!”
"What did King Xin say..."
Wei Zhongxian asked in a longer voice, but from the tone of his voice, it seemed a bit unhappy, but if you look at his face, it is not difficult to see the smile in the corners of his eyes.
"Your Highness King Xin, what you want to say has already been in front of Eunuch Wei, hasn't it?"
Jiang Wan raised his head and looked directly at Wei Zhongxian: "Last time, the soldiers and civilians of Liaodong, including Yuan Chonghuan, the military commander at the time, Man Gui, the deputy commander, and others learned about the purchase of Fo Lang robot cannons and sent them to Liaodong.
Eunuch Wei has given me great support, and I am all grateful to Eunuch Wei."
He paused for a moment: "It's just that Eunuch Wei, you know that Master Yuan Chonghuan is someone who dares to disobey Gao Jinglue's orders. Even if he is grateful in his heart, he will not say these words to others in public!"
"Are Yuan Chonghuan and Man Gui really grateful to our family?" Wei Zhongxian was doubtful.
"Although Mr. Yuan didn't say this explicitly, Jiang Wan really felt it when he talked about it with him!" Jiang Wan said solemnly: "If Jiang Wan makes even half-truths, heaven and earth will not tolerate it!"
“You bunch of scholars are all a bunch of people who are obsessed with saving face and suffering!”
Wei Zhongxian shook his head disdainfully: "If you have to do it coquettishly and act like a girl when it comes to one-size-fits-all matters, our family will not see you as scholars!"
Jiang Wan stood there slightly embarrassed and did not argue.
"Okay, our family knows about this, is there anything else?" Wei Zhongxian said slowly and leisurely, waiting for Jiang Wan to speak with a look of leisure.
"There is something that Jiang Wan wants to shamelessly ask of my father-in-law!"
Jiang Wan's face turned slightly red, and she seemed a little embarrassed and said: "This time His Highness King Xin entrusted Jiang Wan with the purchase of the Folangji cannon. Jiang Wan really couldn't do anything about it, and His Highness King Xin didn't seem to have any plans.
You have put your heart and soul into this matter, so can you ask your father-in-law to say a few words on behalf of His Majesty King Xin in front of Your Majesty, and ask His Majesty to take back His Majesty King Xin’s job of purchasing the ambassador, and find another unlucky guy to do this job!"
"Hahahaha!" Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Is His Royal Highness King Xin planning to give up the throne?"
"Everyone in the world knows that Eunuch Wei is the person that Your Majesty relies on the most. If there is anyone who can make Your Majesty change his mind, it must be Eunuch Wei!"
"Stop filling our family with crazy soup!" Wei Zhongxian said with a smile on his face: "We don't dare to interfere with this matter. His Majesty values King Xin, so he has your reasons. As for the purchase, the imperial court uses silver.
There are some difficulties, but this little thing shouldn’t be a problem for His Highness King Xin!”
Jiang Wan's face looked a little disappointed, but in Wei Zhongxian's eyes, this disappointment made him extremely happy.
"Last time I heard Mr. Shi, the Chief of the Tenth Prince's Palace, say that the Ministry of Revenue seemed to want to transfer him, but Jiang Wan was confused at the time and missed the opportunity!" Jiang Wan looked at Wei Zhongxian with hope: "Jiang Wan would like to ask my father-in-law for some advice.
