"According to the letter of the country, Shibi Khan is the younger brother of the Great Khan of Geely, and a serious Turkic man." Shangguan Wan'er did not agree with Zhang Lin's speculation, but just frowned and thoughtfully.

"Since they are Turkic people, but they don't understand Turkic words, this matter is too strange. Is there a possibility that they are fake?" Zhang Lin blurted out.

Zhang Lin had this kind of suspicion in his heart before on the stage, but the scene was too big at that time and he couldn't control it. In addition, he was a little nervous and excited, so he didn't think deeply about this matter.

"What did you say?" Shangguan Wan'er was startled, staring at Zhang Lin in an eye, as if she was wondering whether the latter was joking.

"I guess this Turkic mission may be fake." Zhang Lin smiled, but he didn't have much confidence.

He felt that the Great Zhou and the Turks had been in contact for many years, and the two sides would definitely send envoys to each other, and there must be people who know each other. Otherwise, how could they discuss the marriage granting? If the envoy was fake, how could they get away with it in the court?

But without such speculation, the Turkic people cannot understand Turkic words and cannot stand scrutiny.

After hearing Zhang Lin's words, Shangguan Wan'er frowned with her pretty eyebrows, pondered for a while, nodded slightly and said:

"Your guess is very bold, but it is not without reason, because the Turkic people do not understand Turkic words and are not in line with common sense. This matter is a bit strange and makes people suspicious."

Zhang Lin did not think deeply about this matter before, but Shangguan Wan'er's words made him more confident in his judgment and continued to go deeper along with this idea. If the Turkic mission was really fake, then the so-called marriage must be fake. As the princess who gave the marriage, he would fall into the hands of the evil person and would be in an extremely dangerous situation! If that is the case, it would be her own harm.

"Since you think it's strange, it must be strange! I think the Turkic mission should be investigated as soon as possible!" Zhang Lin raised his hand and said in an extremely serious tone, as if he was the prime minister of the dynasty and could speak in a word.

Seeing Zhang Lin's serious and serious look, Shangguan Wan'er laughed secretly and said in her heart, "Who do you think you are? Just investigate if you say you want to investigate!" She smiled faintly and said, "There is no way to investigate, the Turkic mission has left Shendu."

After hearing this, Zhang Lin couldn't calm down: "What, they left so soon? It seems that they must have a problem. This is a guilty conscience! You must not let them run away!"

"I said, why are you so anxious to get angry? What does it have to do if the Turkic mission does not leave? " Shangguan Wan'er glanced at Zhang Lin and quipped with a smile.

"This matter has nothing to do with me personally." Zhang Lin spread his hands and said, he walked two steps, turned toward the door, and looked like he was worried about the country and the king, and said righteously: "A group of evil people, from the ministers in the court, cheated food, drink, and rewards from the emperor's eyes, and cheated the princess away, which damaged the dignity of the country and hurt the emperor's power. As the first person to discover the clues of the scam, how can I not be in a hurry?"

After hearing Zhang Lin's righteous words, Shangguan Wan'er's bright eyes, which were as strong as the starry sky, flashed with admiration. She said in awe: "This matter is of great importance, and we can't make a conclusion. I'll report to the emperor quickly. The emperor has his own district." He immediately said goodbye to Zhang Lin and hurried to Shangyang Palace.

...

Under Xiaomei's leadership and Gao Lishi's companion, Zhang Lin came to an independent courtyard located in the northwest of the harem... Shanggong Bureau.

When Zhang Lin and his party arrived, the people in the Shanggong Bureau were busy. In a room, several palace maids cut fabrics on a long table, and several palace maids were hand-sewing robes or hats. Three palace maids were gathered around a table to hand-sew a snow-white fox leather jacket. In another room, several palace maids were stringing white pearls or yellow amber with silk ribbons, or inlaid jade for hats or belts. Although they looked busy, they were orderly and not messy at all.

In Zhang Lin's view, this Shanggong Bureau is equivalent to a small clothing workshop in later generations, and it is not even a factory.

"Xiaomei, you are here." A female official of twenty-four or five years old walked out of the room and greeted Xiaomei warmly and friendly.

"Ni'er, this is our proofreader of the Cuiyang Palace Master." Xiaomei showed a sweet smile on her face and solemnly introduced Zhang Lin to Ni'er.

"Meet the proofreader." Ni'er bowed to Zhang Lin.

"No need to be polite." Zhang Lin stretched out his hand to help him, and laughed.

"Ni'er is the mastermind of Shanggong Bureau." Xiaomei introduced Ni'er to Zhang Lin again.

"Thank you for your help," Zhang Lin clasped his fists to Ni'er.

"Xiaomei is my good sister. She spoke. Can I not agree?" Ni'er said with a smile on her face, and then walked into the house while introducing the situation of Shanggong Bureau to Zhang Lin.

Shanggong Bureau is in charge of the construction of the harem and is responsible for providing clothes and jewelry for the harem. It is divided into front and back yards. The front yard does relatively simple matters, while the back yard does some complicated work.

"Then go directly to the backyard." Zhang Lin straight to the point.

"Okay." Ni'er smiled, leading them through the busy front yard and to the noisy back yard.

The backyard is also divided into two areas. There are many fabrics of various colors in the yard in one area, and dozens of large dyeing vats are placed in the house. Many palace maids are working hard to put beige fabrics into the dyeing vat, or take out the wet fabrics dyed in the dyeing vat and wring them out and take them outside the yard to dry. This is a dyeing workshop.

In another room, there were more than a dozen stoves, and the fire was blazing in the stove. There was an extremely thick iron pot on the stove, and the pot was filled with melted gold or silver liquid. The palace maids waiting here were all older, but they had excellent skills to make exquisite gold and silver jewelry.

"Is that all?" Zhang Lin raised his hand and asked calmly. In his opinion, this place is equivalent to a small gold and silver workshop in later generations. It can be used as a small jewelry, but it is difficult to make big utensils.

Although Zhang Lin's words were meaningless, they didn't listen to them very much in Ni'er's ears. A hint of displeasure flashed across her face, and she said with a little cold tone:

"It's like this in the palace. Shanggong Bureau can only make some insignificant gold, silver and jewelry. If you want to make large items, you have to go to the Shanjin Bureau outside the palace."

Shanjin Bureau? Zhang Lin felt that this place was familiar when he heard it, but he didn't remember that he had heard it there. Judging from the name Shanjin Bureau, it is a place to make big tools. However, it is outside the palace. Zhang Lin has no large items to do for the time being. At present, he just makes a few clay models and a dial-engraved model. Shanggong Bureau is enough.

Zhang Lin took out a two-two silver ingot and handed it to Ni'er, and said calmly: "A little bit of a word is not worthy of respect."

"Chasing Scholar, you are too polite. You can use the stove here at will, and the craftsman can also use it at will, so there is no need to pay."

When Ni'er saw the shining silver ingot, she smiled. Two taels of silver were equivalent to twenty stagnant, or 20,000 coins of copper coins. This is not a small number. Ni'er's salary for half a year was only so much. Although she said this, her hand was faster than that of a mantis stalking cicadas. She grabbed the silver ingot into her hand and stuffed it into her waist.
