Chapter 254: Angering the Princess, Trying to Persuade

The population of the eldest princess's mansion is small, the county king Jiang Mingxuan is forty years old, and he has no heirs so far, so they don't care about it anymore. The eldest princess and the county king and his wife both live in the front yard, and each has its own yard. Because of their identities, No one in the outside world dared to make irresponsible remarks, and even under the emperor's deliberate protection, no one dared to discuss such a big thing as the county king having no heirs.

In the hall of the front yard, the sixtieth year-old eldest princess and the county king are separated from the main seat. The county princess sits in the lower left position. Under the leadership of the steward Wang, a group of six people, led by Cui Jing'an and Wei Qian, entered the hall slowly.

"See the eldest princess, the county king, the county princess, thousands of years old!"

Walking to the center of the hall, Cui Jing'an and the others stopped abruptly, followed by Ye Zhao and others, who followed behind, stopped and bowed together.

"No need to be too polite, everyone please sit down."

The eldest princess smiled and waved gracefully, seeming to welcome them.

"Thank you, princess!"

After thanking her kindly, Cui Jing'an took advantage of the moment of turning around, and quietly cast a look at Zhao Rong and the others, and led them to the right position.

"If I remember correctly, Mr. Cui hasn't been to the capital since his son-in-law passed away. Why did you come here suddenly?"

After a light glance at Ye Zhao and the others, the Eldest Princess' eyes fell on Cui Jingan. Although she will be 60 years old soon, she is well maintained. She looks in her forties at most, but those beautiful eyes are so beautiful. Precipitating wisdom and shrewdness, but anyone with eyes can see that she is definitely not as kind and friendly as she appears on the surface.

"Yeah, five years have passed in the blink of an eye."

As if thinking of her former best friend, Cui Jing'an's face was filled with naked nostalgia, and then she waved her hand without waiting for the eldest princess and the others to answer: "The grass people are old, they are almost seventy years old, and they can no longer travel around like before. Let's go, this time I'm going to Beijing, firstly I'm thinking about the approaching birthday of the Eldest Princess, so I specially prepared two congratulatory gifts, secondly, I'm worried about my new students, and I'll take them to meet some senior brothers by the way, so as to gain insight."

As his words fell, the first day of the lunar new year presented the sandalwood box respectfully, without special instructions from the eldest princess and the three, the old mother who stood by the side gave the maid a wink, and the handsome and lovely maid took the sandalwood box. The wooden box was respectfully placed on the tea table between the eldest princess and the county king.

"This is... Liuli?"

When the sandalwood box was opened, even the eldest princess mother and son, who are used to seeing good things, couldn't help shrinking their pupils. Inside the sandalwood box lay a colorful phoenix ornament. Its shape is not so rare. The key is that its material is actually made of colored glaze, which is both crystal clear and dazzling. Due to the fact that the Kanglan state government sells colored glaze in large quantities, even if it is rare, with their identities, those who should have seen it have almost seen it, but they I have never seen colored glaze, but it is still in the shape of a phoenix that symbolizes nobility and magnificence.

"That's right, it's Liuli."

Caressing the goat's beard and nodding with a smile, Cui Jing'an naturally drew their attention to Zhaorong and the two: "Rong Caomin, let me introduce to the eldest princess and the county princess. This is my student Rong Che, who is only eleven years old. , has won the county examination and the hospital examination successively with No.1 grades. He is the youngest case leader in the history of Kanglan Prefecture, and the other is his marriage partner Yang Zhao. The method of firing colored glaze is He and his sworn brother Chen Yixuan worked it out, and this time they came to Beijing to discuss cooperation with the imperial court and discuss matters related to supplying large quantities of goods to neighboring countries."

It’s not that he’s showing off his students. The eldest princess and the three are honorable. If they can’t impress them, even if Brother Zhao really has a way to heal the county king, they probably won’t believe it easily. As for the marriage contract between the two, it was decided after discussion. Okay, Rong Che is destined to pursue an official career, there is no need to continue the unjustified stepfather-son relationship, and directly show people the relationship as a fiancé, so as to prevent someone from marrying one of them forcibly in the future, The capital is no better than the countryside, at least so far, many people they can't afford to provoke.

"Oh?"

Sure enough, the eldest princess and the three looked over with interest, and it was only at this time that they realized that the two who seemed to be a little immature were actually calm and calm, not to mention fear, they seemed not even nervous. No one knows better than them what their noble status means to ordinary people. The reaction of the two is obviously abnormal, unless they are used to seeing people who are more noble than them, or they really If you are outstanding, you are destined not to be a thing in the pool.

"That's right. He has a good appearance and clear eyes. He is a good seedling. Mr. Cui's eyes are still vicious when he accepts apprentices."

Concentrating on the strangeness in her heart, the eldest princess sized up Rong Che first, nodded in satisfaction, and then turned to Ye Zhao: "I have heard a little about Liuli, and the Kanglan Prefecture has become a great place because of this. The Xia Dynasty is the richest state capital. In less than a year, it has created hundreds of thousands of silver income for the treasury. If you can sell a large amount of money to neighboring countries, the court will not be short of money in the future. You have done a good job .”

Liuli is still a very rare treasure in this era. Any finished product is worth thousands of gold, and there is no market for it. Although Ye Zhao gave 10% of the profits to the government, the court only had [-]%, and the remaining [-]% went to the state government. [-]% went into the pocket of King Kang's Mansion. Even so, in less than a year, they created an income of tens of thousands of taels of silver for the treasury. Such a huge wealth, not to mention the Princess Mansion, is the emperor's arrival They have to pay attention, otherwise they would not have the confidence to propose direct cooperation with the imperial court.

"The eldest princess praises it, if there is no imperial court, how can the people live and work in peace and contentment? The grassroots dare not take credit for it."

Lowering his eyes and bowing slightly, Ye Zhao replied politely, while being modest, he still did not forget to wear a high hat for the court, making it very comfortable for people to hear.

"It does look like a good one."

Seemingly satisfied with his answer, the smile on the eldest princess's face deepened a bit, but for a person of her stature, a smile does not necessarily mean happiness, except for herself, no one knows what she really thinks in her heart.

"You can make five-color glazed phoenixes, you should also be able to make colorful colored glazes. Why are all the colored glazes in the world so far crystal clear and colorless?"

Looking at the glazed phoenix in the sandalwood box, the prince's deep eyes pointed directly at Ye Zhao. Although he was almost 40 years old, he was well maintained. He looked about 30 years old at most. He is also tall and handsome, with noble and mature masculine charm all over his body.

"The colored colored glaze was created by Caomin and Yixiong recently, and it is too late to be fired in large quantities. This time, we are going to discuss with the imperial court about firing it."

Expecting that they would definitely ask, Ye Zhao replied in a calm manner, with a calm and calm smile on his more beautiful and delicate face, as if everything was under control, and invisibly made the slightly immature face a little more beautiful. very convincing.

"So, very good."

Cai Liuli shocked even him and his mother, let alone others?

The king of the county nodded in satisfaction. After the court cooperates directly with them, [-]% of the profits will go to the treasury. At this time, it is undoubtedly more appropriate to launch colored colored glaze, and the emperor should be very happy.

"Why did Wei Aiqing return to the capital with Mr. Cui this time?"

Seeing that they were almost done, the eldest princess intervened at the right time, and the conversation naturally turned to Wei Qian. He was once one of the best imperial doctors in the imperial hospital, and was expected to become the head of the hospital. Then, for some reason, he suddenly retired and returned home. At that time, she The emperor's younger brother regretted it, but he had already made up his mind to go, so he couldn't force him to stay.

"Princess, please forgive me for being bold, can you back away from the left and right?"

The politeness should be about the same, Wei Qian stood up and solemnly clasped his fists, ready to get down to business, but the king of the county has not done anything for many years, even if no one dared to discuss it openly, as a man and a big boss, his blow is definitely unimaginable for ordinary people , They have resigned to their fate these years, and now the old saying is repeated, no matter whether brother Zhao can cure him or not, it is best not to leak the news, otherwise the princess's mansion will be ridiculed, and their heads may be It will also not be guaranteed.

"Ok?"

The eldest princess did not immediately agree, but raised her eyebrows and looked at him deeply, as if she was guessing his purpose, and also seemed to be evaluating whether he had the value to make them retreat.

"Eldest princess, what Lao Wei wants to say is also the second congratulatory gift that Caomin will give to the princess this time, or the entire eldest princess's mansion. I hope that the eldest princess will be fulfilled, so let me explain in detail. .”

Seeing this, Cui Jing'an also stood up, having accumulated decades of life experience, her wise and calm eyes met their gazes without any avoidance.

"Since Mr. Cui said so, you go out first."

Glancing at each other with her son, the eldest princess said in a low voice, she wants to see what kind of medicine they sell in the gourd.

"Yes."

Under the leadership of Steward Wang and the close old nanny, the servants serving in the hall bowed one after another and left one after another.

"Mr. Cui, Mr. Wei, what's the matter with you?"

After all the servants had left, the county king asked suspiciously, Cui Jing'an was regarded as his half teacher, and with his friendship with his father, he still respected him very much, I believe he would not be aimless.

The two looked at each other, and Wei Qian said: "Thank you, princess, county king, for allowing the old man to offend. May I ask if you have found the cause of the disease, and have you solved the problem of offspring?"

"presumptuous!"

As soon as the words fell, the countenance of the prince and his wife suddenly changed. The eldest princess slapped the coffee table with a slap. Her well-maintained face was full of naked anger. The problem of children was an eternal pain in their hearts. At the beginning, they were actively seeking treatment. In recent years, he had already given up, and no one was allowed to mention it. Unexpectedly, Wei Qian would be so outspoken, he was simply daring.

"Princess calm down!"

It's not that he is not afraid, but Wei Qian knows that he can't be afraid now, so he continued to face their undisguised anger: "Elder princess, the king of the county, I don't know if you still remember that after the old man resigned, His Majesty once went down I wanted the old man to come for a consultation, but the old man was ignorant and unable to prescribe. I have always felt ashamed of the emperor's grace these years. However, Brother Zhao is superb in medicine. His stepbrother is nearly [-] years old and is still unmarried. , leading to the damage of the inside of the body. Once pregnant, there is no doubt that he would die, but because of a sudden estrus, he became pregnant by accident. At that time, even the old man thought that whether it was a miscarriage or a miscarriage, his life could not be saved. But brother Zhao has recuperated his body and allowed him to give birth to the child safely. So far, the father and son are safe and their bodies have basically returned to normal. Therefore, the old man thought that brother Zhao might be able to heal the county king, so he dared to meet him. Hope the eldest princess and the county princess calm down."

"Caomin can testify that what Old Wei said is true. Brother Zhao's medical skills are indeed superb. On that day, his brother-in-law gave birth suddenly, and the fetus was misplaced. It is basically impossible to have a normal delivery, but he used caesarean section to save the child safely. If the Eldest Princess doesn't believe it, she can send someone to the posthouse to announce that Chen Yixuan and his son will come, and personally verify the wound on his stomach after taking the son by caesarean section."

This was what they had discussed a long time ago. When Wei Qian finished speaking, Cui Jingan immediately followed without waiting for their reaction. He was bound to dispel the doubts of the eldest princess and the three before asking for a doctor. Only in this way could they truly I really believe Brother Zhao, after all, it takes time from pregnancy to feeling the pulse, doesn't it?Tomorrow they will make a fuss at her birthday banquet. If she doesn't have a certain amount of trust, not only will she not protect them, but she may even take the lead in questioning them, even if they are not the culprit.
