Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Chapter 530 The Emperor was also rejected
"Really? If sister is willing to write it, sister is willing to give 1 taels of silver as a writing fee."

Although scholars in this era are shy about talking about money, Lan Yinfeng is a shrewd businessman.

Some things are not good to be brought up by the person involved.

For example, the sister Ma in front of her might not think much about things like retouching her pen, but she couldn't help but mention it.

Empress Ma grimaced and said, pretending to be displeased: "What are you talking about? We sisters hit it off immediately. I just helped you write a few words on a plaque, but why do I need to charge you any writing fees? If you do this again, I will But he left immediately."

Lan Yunfeng quickly waved her hand and said, "Sister Ma, please don't misunderstand me. I have no other intentions."

"Besides, as you just said, we sisters also have to settle accounts clearly. How can there be no reason not to pay retouching fees when hiring someone to write something? Don't you think so?"

Queen Ma didn't expect that Lan Yunfeng would silence her for her casual words.

After thinking about it, Empress Ma nodded and said, "In that case, you can give me ten taels of silver. I'm not a great scholar, and my words are not that valuable."

The corners of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth twitched involuntarily. You must say that Queen Ma is telling the truth. Her status is much nobler than that of a great scholar.

But if you want to say that Queen Ma is lying, everything Queen Ma tells is the true truth.

It's just that some Spring and Autumn writing techniques were used and some unimportant details were omitted.

Lan Yinfeng probably never expected that the person in front of her was actually the mother of the Ming Dynasty.

Naturally, he agreed happily: "In that case, I'd like to trouble Sister Ma. Come and prepare some pen and ink."

While the servant was preparing the pen and ink, Lan Yunfeng's attention finally fell back on Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Mr. Chang, you are still here?"

Lao Zhu is so depressed. He is a majestic Ming emperor. Why does he feel like he has become a superfluous person now?

What do you mean he is still there?
Is he alright all the time?

The female accountant who was called over by Lan Yunfeng stood beside Zhu Yuanzhang with her head lowered.

Zhu Yuanzhang said nothing, and he did not dare to say another word.

After all, although Lao Zhu deliberately concealed his identity, he was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty after all.

I had deliberately concealed my aura before, and it was a little better.

But just now, all the attention was focused on Queen Ma and Lan Yunfeng.

The hidden aura of a superior person leaked out from time to time.

It can make that ordinary female accountant tremble with fear, and no one else dares to say a word.

"Xiao Cui!" Lan Yunfeng scolded dissatisfiedly: "How do you do things? Didn't you ask you to pay Mr. Chang's bill? Why did you make Mr. Chang wait here for so long?"

"Do you think Mr. Chang is a little person like you? People's time is very precious. There may be many national affairs to deal with, but you dare to waste Mr. Chang's time."

The muscles on Lao Zhu's face were twitching, and for a moment he couldn't even tell whether Lan Yunfeng was connoting himself or not.

But after thinking about it, Lao Zhu felt that this was unlikely.

After all, it was impossible for Lan Yunfeng to know that he was the Ming Emperor who had left aside national affairs and sneaked out with his queen for a private visit incognito.

Others don't know, but Empress Ma does know Zhu Yuanzhang's identity.

Seeing such a weird scene, I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Lan Yunfeng is reprimanding his employees, but everyone can see this, he is just a big thunder and a small rain.

After all, the accountant who was reprimanded had his head lowered and looked aggrieved.

But there wasn't even a hint of fear in his eyes.

It can be seen that Bai Yunfeng will not really do anything to her.

The reason why he scolded the female accountant in front of Zhu Yuanzhang was actually just to show Zhu Yuanzhang.

On the surface it is a reprimand, but in fact it is to protect it.

When Queen Ma saw Lan Yunfeng looking at her, she quickly waved her hands and said, "Sister, you don't need to pay attention to me, I just thought of some funny things."

After saying that, she turned her head away, but her trembling shoulders still told everyone that she was still smiling.

Lan Yunfeng didn't understand what kind of funny thing Sister Ma had thought of, so she could laugh so hard.

It felt like he wasn't laughing at her, after all, he didn't say anything nice about her just now.

Being interrupted by Queen Ma, Lan Yunfeng could no longer continue her performance.

He quickly apologized to Zhu Yuanzhang: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Chang. It was my dereliction of duty that made you unhappy with your shopping this time."

Zhu Yuanzhang slowly shook his head. : "It's not his fault, we were just wondering if we should buy some porcelain or something? As for me, shopkeeper, if you have something to do, just go and do it and don't worry about me."

"In this case, I won't disturb you, Mr. Chang. In order to express our apology to you, the next item you choose will be given to you by our store. Please don't take today's incident to your heart." superior."

After speaking, turn around and leave.

Lao Zhu was confused.

What you mean by coping is probably too obvious.

He was so disliked.

Is my queen a flower?Loved by everyone.

The servants on the side have already laid out the table and brought paper and pens.

Lan Yunfeng took the initiative to go over and study the ink for Queen Ma.

It should have been a very harmonious scene, but Dean Zhu felt uncomfortable no matter how he looked at it.

I don’t know what he was thinking, but just when Empress Ma was about to pick up the pen, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said on his own initiative: "Shopkeeper Lan, I know a little bit about calligraphy. If Shopkeeper Lan doesn't mind, I'm willing to help Lan Yun." Zhai writes a plaque.”

"Lanyunzhai's porcelain is unique, and it is unique when looking at the entire daimyo. If the business is affected because of a plaque, it will be a loss for our Ming Dynasty."

In order not to make his words appear particularly abrupt.

Zhu Yuanzhang also found a reason full of loopholes.

Although Lao Zhu also felt that his status in Lan Yunfeng's eyes was probably not as good as his own queen.

However, he had also chatted with Lan Yunfeng for so long, and Lao Zhu felt that Lan Yunfeng should be able to see that he was a person with extraordinary knowledge.

Although saying this is a bit flattering to his own face, Lao Zhu is really qualified to say this.

In the process of conquering the world, Lao Zhu has been learning.

"Thank you, Mr. Chang, for your kindness. I am very grateful." Lan Yunfeng bowed gratefully to Zhu Yuanzhang.

The result didn't make Zhu Yuanzhang happy, so Lan Yunfeng smiled and shook his head and said: "I'm just wearing Lan Yunzhai. After all, it was built by a woman, and all the people here are women, so I hope that this plaque will have the same people." The woman’s sister Ma is writing.”

"One store can't hang two plaques. I have no choice but to reject Mr. Chang's kindness without knowing what is good or bad."

who am I?
Where am i?

What's the situation now?
Three questions about the soul appeared in Lao Zhu's mind.

As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, it had been a long time since he had experienced the feeling of being rejected.

But today he was rejected by an ordinary business woman.This gave Lao Zhu a huge blow both physically and mentally.

It's not that he doesn't understand, it's that the world is changing too fast.

The majestic emperor of the Ming Dynasty could be rejected?

I’m afraid no one would believe this if I told it.

Although his current identity is not Zhu Yuanzhang but Chang Zai.

But Lan Yunfeng's refusal was still unacceptable to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"You..." It was rare for him to take the initiative, but he ended up with such a result.

For a moment, I felt a little angry.

Lan Yunfeng also knew that her rejection might make Mr. Chang, who had a mysterious background, unhappy.

Although I don’t know who this Mr. Chang is, his status is definitely not low.

If it were something else, Lan Yunfeng would definitely have compromised. After all, he was a businessman, so there was no such thing as a bottom line.

As long as it's not a matter of principle, everything is easy to discuss.

But the matter of writing the plaque is precisely a matter of principle.

During the time when Lan Yunfeng founded Lan Yunzai, she finally understood her situation clearly.

Although His Royal Highness encourages women to do things, others may not think so.

That's why she decided that women would take charge of all matters in her workshop.

Originally, it could handle all the exquisite things, just let two people write plaques on them all.

When the time comes, you can secretly hide Mr. Chang's and hang up Queen Ma's.

That way no one is to blame.

But Lan Yunfeng knew very well that once Mr. Chang was asked to write the plaque.

No matter who wrote it, someone would always make irresponsible remarks.

In order to gain this breath, Bai Yunfeng would rather offend this unknown Mr. Lan.

Of course, if you can avoid offending, it is better to try not to offend.

So after Lan Yunfeng rejected Zhu Yuanzhang, she kept apologizing to him: "Mr. Chang, the little girl promised Sister Ma first. If she changes her words at this time, wouldn't it be reneging on her promise?"

"I, although I am not a man who sticks to his word, he still knows how to keep his word, so I cannot refuse Mr. Lan's kindness."

Empress Ma took the initiative to stand up at this time, gently took Lan Yunfeng's hand and pulled her behind her, and said with a smile: "Sister, you don't have to worry too much, Mr. Chang is definitely not a mortal at first glance. You won’t care about little girls like us.”

"Am I right, Mr. Chang?"

Queen Ma bit the word "Mr. Chang" very hard.

Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his back molars and said word by word: "Don't worry, shopkeeper Lan. I can understand your difficulties. We just made it up temporarily, and it is indeed a bit abrupt."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang changed the topic: "We are also very sorry that we did not have the opportunity to write the Lan Yunzhai plaque. I wonder if I can stay and observe this lady's calligraphy?"

Zhu Yuanzhang also emphasized the word "wife" very hard, obviously making fun of Queen Ma.

The housekeeper didn't dare to say a word from beginning to end, for fear that he would get burned for no reason.

Staying next to Mr. Chang, the housekeeper already felt frightened.

But what shocked the housekeeper the most was that although Mr. Chang's wife was not very luxuriously dressed.

He even had a pair of big feet that looked ugly in this era.

And he seems to be very kind.

But for some reason, the housekeeper just felt that Mr. Ma was not easy to mess with.

So since Queen Ma came in, the housekeeper tried his best to make himself as transparent as possible.

Of course Lan Yunfeng didn't know that the two people in front of her were flirting in front of her.

After hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, he immediately regarded this as an opportunity to ease the relationship.

He quickly nodded in agreement and said, "If Mr. Chang is interested, I will naturally welcome Mr. Chang and stay to observe Sister Ma's calligraphy."

Lan Yunfeng first said that she was willing to agree, but she did not say what Queen Ma meant.

Then he turned to look at Queen Ma, as if asking for his answer.

Empress Ma had no reason to refuse: "It's not a shameful thing. Since someone wants to see it, just stay and watch."

After finishing speaking, Queen Ma picked up the pen and pondered for a while, then dipped it in ink. The brush was like a smart bird, leaving a stream of clear springs on the paper.

Lan Yunzhai said the three words in one breath without any pause.

"Oh my god, Sister Ma, your handwriting is so good." Lan Yunfeng looked at the words on the paper and couldn't help but sigh.

However, Lan Yunfeng is a businesswoman who has never read any books.

Normally, there is no problem doing calculations, reading documents, etc., but asking her to comment on calligraphy would be a bit too difficult for her.

Lan Yunfeng just thinks that Queen Ma's calligraphy is beautiful and beautiful.

But Lan Yunfeng really couldn't tell what exactly made his handwriting beautiful.

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly.

Because compared to Queen Ma, his handwriting is really a bit different.

After all, Queen Ma is a real lady.

He has been proficient in playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since he was a child.

He is not at the same level as Zhu Yuanzhang who became a monk halfway.

"Good words!" Although he felt a little unhappy because he was upstaged by Queen Ma, after all, she was his own wife, so her wealth would not go to outsiders.

Coupled with the words "Empress Ma", it can be regarded as an extraordinary performance, and the writing is more dignified and majestic than usual.

In some aspects, he is not much worse than famous calligraphers.

Lao Zhu also had to sigh sincerely: "Huang... Mrs. Ma's writing of these words is indeed extraordinary."

Lan Yunfeng was an extremely resolute woman. She directly handed over Queen Ma's words to a trustworthy servant: "Go to the best carving craftsmen in Yanjing City and ask them to carve these into plaques and send them over in the shortest possible time." .”

"Remember, the speed is fast. Money is not an issue. If they can finish carving the plaque today, I will add four times the salary. If it is tomorrow, it will only be three times the salary."

The servant, also a woman, Cui Sheng agreed, and before leaving, she did not forget to ask two people to accompany her to avoid any accidents.

"Sister Ma, thank you so much for this time. With this plaque from you, our Lanyun's business can increase by at least [-]%."

This is of course an exaggeration, but a good signboard is indeed very important in this era.
