Chapter 157 A blessing in disguise, who counts who
Gong Xingchen was dizzy by the sudden news!
Before, he used his connections to send Mao Qingbu to his father-in-chief, but there was no hope for replying. For example, the fabrics and dragon robes in the palace were all from the Wei family embroidery shop, so how could he easily include other people's fabrics?
Although Mao Qingbu's only family is included in the Interior Office and does not conflict with the Wei family, the palace is full of talented people and will not offend the giant Wei family for you, a small person.
Gong Xingchen didn't have much hope in his heart, and suddenly he heard that a noble man had a fancy to the beautiful girl and was very excited.
He said to the eunuch: "I am not tidy and I am afraid of hitting a noble man, so I go into the house and change my clothes."
Before the eunuch could reply, Gong Xingchen was already walking into the house quickly.
When Shang Zhi saw Gong Xingchen coming in, he asked casually: "Who is it?"
Gong Xingchen was about to discuss with Shang Zhi, but when she heard her ask, he quickly said, "Sister, are you strange? I sent Mao Qingbutuo's close friend to the palace. He told me clearly that there was no chance, but I didn't give up. The chance was slim and I wanted to give up. I didn't know that a little eunuch came just now. The head of the Internal Affairs Office wanted to see me, and Mao Qingbu was attracted to a noble person. I was very happy when I heard it. Why did I feel a little weird when I calmed down? These eunuchs could climb to the position of the official position? How could they become so energetic? How could they recommend my cloth to noble person?"
Shang Zhi looked at him unexpectedly, "Oh, my mind is so vivid today."
Gong Xingchen gave Shang Zhi a chestnut, "How do you talk? You are not big or small! Is there a sister who says your brother like you? What is the sister used for? You are responsible for worshiping your brother."
"Which of your advantages makes me admire you?" Shang Zhi glanced at him, "Since you think there is something wrong, you will reject the eunuch and say that the cloth is wrong. Your close friend has the ability to send things into the palace, but it is just for the wrong cloth to be sent, and it will not affect him. If the "noble" over there is a crime, the matter will be a big deal. Just to frame us, this "noble" will not do it. If the palace people really like this hairy cloth and you don't enter the palace, she will send the female officials around you to invite you."
Shang Zhi's words coincided with Gong Xingchen's ideas.
"I'll go and refuse now." Gong Xingchen was about to go out but was grabbed by Shang Zhi.
Shang Zhi looked at the little eunuch standing at the door and pointed at Shen Qiu and said, "You go over with my brother to take a look."
Shen Qiu followed Gong Xingchen. When the little eunuch saw that Gong Xingchen had not changed his clothes, he said impatiently: "You want to bring someone into the palace? Where do you think the palace is? Do you want to bring a few people in as many people as you want?"
Gong Xingchen smiled and said, "This father-in-law, I made a mistake in the cloth I sent to the palace. The cloth of that material is also available in the Wei family. If the father-in-chief recommends it to the nobles and makes mine a tribute, I am afraid of offending the Wei family. The Wei family has a queen mother and the emperor's foreign family. Wouldn't that implicate the father-in-chief?" He stuffed silver into the little eunuch's hand, "If you have any trouble, your father-in-chief will come for nothing. Please help me persuade the father-in-chief. That cloth is said to be from the Wei family, and it happens that the Wei family has it."
Gong Xingchen did not forget Princess Baoling in the palace. He suspected that she was the one who made the mistake. Anyway, he didn't like a real noble person, so he just talked about it casually.
Bao Ling dared not offend the Wei family, and his father-in-law in charge did not dare to do so. Gong Xingchen moved out of the Wei family.
Sure enough, the little eunuch changed his face, and he couldn't understand Gong Xingchen's words, which was true or false. But thinking about the words of the father-in-chief, he had a sinister face, "Gong Xingchen, Bu made a mistake, you can also go to the father-in-chief to the father-in-chief myself!"
"My dyeing workshop is working with the Wei family. If someone is interested in it, I will enter the palace with her." Gong Xingchen said to the little eunuch, "Then go to the Wei family to pick up someone."
The little eunuch never expected that this small workshop was related to the Wei family!
But the father-in-law in charge wants Gong Xingchen, and he will just take a detour and not go to the Wei Mansion later!
"Please, Mr. Gong." The eunuch asked Gong Xingchen to get on the carriage.
Gong Xingchen said: "I'll bother my father-in-law and wait for a while. I'll let someone go to the Wei family to pick up someone." He attracted Chen Qiu and asked her to pick up someone from the Wei family.
The little eunuch widened his eyes, and he gave the guards behind him the first look. Chen Qiu fell down in three or five seconds, and went to the Wei family to invite Wei Jiaoling.
The little eunuch was so anxious that he couldn't stop Chen Qiu and asked her to go to the Wei family to find someone. He wanted to go back to the palace to ask for instructions from his father-in-law.
In a second thought, he was worried that Gong Xingchen was deliberately making tricks and fooling others.
Gong Xingchen looked at Chen Qiu going to the Wei family and felt a little relieved, hoping that Wei Jiaoling would be more intelligent and invite someone of weight to come and support him.
The two of them were waiting with their own thoughts.
After a while, the carriage from the Wei Mansion drove over and the eunuch could no longer stand.
Is this true to know the Wei family?
Before the eunuch could react, the carriage had already stopped at the entrance of the alley.
A maid jumped out of the car. Gong Xingchen felt that Wei Jiaoling was very good-looking, usually unconventional, and did not serve anyone around her. Thinking of this, he saw the maid lift the curtain of the car, and a woman wearing a lilac jacket, a brocade skirt, got off the carriage. She looked graceful and grand, looked around at everyone and said, "Ling'er went out for a trip. Miss Chen said that there were noble people in the palace who took a fancy to the cloth she made. Since it could not be delayed, I would go for her."
As soon as Wei Ningzi opened her mouth, she spoke Wu Nong softly, breaking the feeling of majesty and luxury, and it became very friendly. The two dimples that were faintly visible on her cheeks added a bit of charm.
The little eunuch looked at Wei Ningzi's dress, elegant and noble. He was in his early thirties, but he was in his unmarried style. He immediately guessed Wei Ningzi's identity. With a 'Ouch' in his heart, he almost called him ancestors!
Wei Ningzi is the younger generation who is loved by the Empress Dowager of the Wei family. With such a living Bodhisattva, how could the father-in-law in charge dare to cause trouble for Gong Xingchen?
His calves trembled and said, "Since Miss Wei is not here, it is not easy to enter the palace another day. Miss Wei will leave in person."
"No trouble, I'm going to go to the palace to visit my aunt and solve this small matter by the way." Wei Ningzi stretched his eyebrows and said to Gong Xingchen: "Don't let my father-in-law wait for a long time, get on the carriage."
The little eunuch was sweating all over, and Wei Ningzi's casual attitude towards Gong Xingchen showed that he had a good relationship with him.
Wei Ningzi held the maid's hand onto the carriage and turned to remind Gong Xingchen, "If you put that cloth on, it is easy for nobles to forget things. There is no need to ask the father-in-chief to pick out your cloth."
Gong Xingchen heard the profound meaning of Wei Ningzi's words. She obviously knew that she was here to find fault. Since his cloth would not be valued, she naturally threw it around casually. Even if she wanted to find it, she was afraid that she would not be able to find it for a while. Even though she knew it was looking for trouble, Wei Ningzi still mentioned that he brought the cloth with him. Obviously, she had other plans. Gong Xingchen immediately went to the house to carry a piece of fur and green cloth.
Wei Ningzi looked at the blue cloth shining in the sun, and there was admiration in her eyes, the curtains hang down, and the carriage drove towards the palace.
The little eunuch woke up from his dream, and he used his hands and feet to get on the carriage, hoping to enter the palace before Wei Ningzi.
The carriage ran away, passing the carriage from Wei Mansion.
Xiuying looked at the carriage in the palace passing by them and threw them off from afar, "Miss, are you going to make the decision for Miss Ling'er? If the master knew that you would help other cloth shops turn the cloth into gongbu, wouldn't you have a rift against you?"
Wei Ning said quietly: "The Wei family is a noble family. You must have the tolerance and demeanor that a noble family should have. I am just a simple task. If they can take advantage of the situation, it means they have extraordinary skills. These skills should not be buried, nor can they be buried. We cannot do our best to suppress others because we are worried about the rise of others. Sometimes, the suppression of the weak will inadvertently urge their growth. If a family is worried about others becoming more and more, they will be exhausted."
"What's more, people who are truly capable will sooner or later have a day to make a comeback. This is a certain thing. Why don't we extend our hands to help? Who will say in the future will be sure to ask for help? If this person is not grateful, there is no need to be afraid of him. A narrow-minded person is enough to show that this person has a broad vision and is destined to be unable to accomplish a big thing."
Wei Ningzi is very transparent. In her eyes, Wei Jiaoling is from the Wei family. Although her career has nothing to do with the Wei family, her identity as a daughter of the Wei family cannot be changed, and her prosperity is also the prosperity of the Wei family.
Xiuying pursed her lips and looked at Wei Ningzi quietly. Her body exuded a peaceful and indifferent temperament, gentle and mellow, calm and calm, the beauty accumulated by the years, just like the quiet and gentle lotus standing in the lotus pond in the Zen temple.
"Go to Renshou Palace."
The carriage was parked in front of the palace gate and took a carriage to Renshou Palace.
Gong Xingchen followed Wei Ningzi, looked around in a novel way. Seeing the three words Renshou Palace, he scratched his head, not knowing which noble man's palace was.
Aunt Yue Ci had already received the news and was waiting in front of the hall gate. When she saw Wei Ningzi, she personally helped her walk down her shoulder carriage. "The Empress Dowager has long been thinking about you, and today I can be regarded as reciting you."
"I'm worried about disturbing my aunt's purity." Wei Ningzi called Gong Xingchen, "Today I will take a child to show my aunt. I think the clothes sewn by his cloth are very suitable for my aunt, so she can take her eyes on her own."
Aunt Yue Ci saw the cloth in Gong Xingchen's hand at first sight, and it was indeed the queen mother who liked it. "The eldest lady was worried about the queen mother, and she didn't know how happy she should be." She led the two into Renshou Palace.
The empress dowager sat on a wide couch and signaled Wei Ningzi to sit beside her. After Wei Ningzi greeted the empress dowager, she introduced Gong Xingchen to the empress dowager. "Auntie, this child and Ling'er are tinkering with dyeing workshops. The newly made cloth is not available in the Wei family. Do you like it or not?"
Gong Xingchen was very nervous. He was calm and quickly took the cloth to the empress dowager.
The Queen Mother stroked the material, which was very soft and refreshing, and the color was also very simple. The green light emitted from the light and shadow was noble.
"Not bad." The Queen Mother nodded.
Wei Ningzi spread the cloth and said, "They sent the cloth into the palace earlier and wanted to apply for being a tribute cloth. Today, an eunuch went to the palace. The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs said that this cloth was for the nobles to look at. My niece thought to me, "You are the ones in the palace that suit the most, and you are also the most noble person in the palace. If you have new clothes, you will naturally pick up the first one. I thought you have a good vision. The spring clothes made of this material are very suitable for you, so I personally brought someone to let you take a look."
The Empress Dowager's face darkened and she pushed the material away, "Do you think someone is interested in this cloth?"
Wei Ningzi said in surprise: "Didn't you choose?"
The empress dowager stretched out her finger and poked Wei Ningzi, "I don't know what you think, I'm going to the palace to give people eye pills!" She was unhappy with the practice of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Every year, she was giving the first gift to her. She snorted, "I'll invite the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to come, and the Ai family wants to see which nobleman is looking at this cloth."
At this time, the palace maid at the door came in and passed a message: "The Empress Dowager, the head of the Interior Department, asks for a visit."
The empress dowager frowned and asked someone to invite Eunuch Chen in.
Eunuch Chen entered with a piece of furry cloth and knelt on the ground and said, "Empress Dowager, this is a furry cloth that someone has sent to the palace recently. The slave specially sent it to you to see if this cloth can catch your eyes."
The Empress Dowager looked at the cloth in Eunuch Chen's hand, then at the cloth in her hand, the same green cloth. She still didn't understand anything in her heart. He heard the sound of the wind and immediately sent the cloth over.
"I heard that you sent someone to invite this kid into the palace. Some nobles picked this cloth and now they are sent to Renshou Palace. What's the point?"
Eunuch Chen bent down and crawled on the ground and said, "This is a misunderstanding of the empress dowager. Our family plans to give this green cloth to the empress dowager, but they don't know how to explain the material, so they have to ask someone to invite him into the palace. When the slave heard Xiao Shunzi say that someone came to your palace, he hurriedly brought the fabric over."
You can't make any mistakes when you say this.
Even if the empress dowager went to inquire, nothing could happen. After all, this cloth has been under the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
"Okay, leave this cloth behind. You can hand it to the emperor for instructions to make a tribute to the emperor." The empress dowager said with a word, pressing her head with a little pain, feeling that she was old and she couldn't control the people and affairs in the palace.
Eunuch Chen looked at the Queen Mother in shock. Did this cloth be a tribute cloth?
"Do you have any objections?"
"No...no, I have no objection!" Eunuch Chen immediately retreated.
The Queen Mother really liked the wool green cloth, and immediately asked someone to send him to Siyifang to make some spring clothes.
Gong Xingchen came back from the palace and was so light. Who would have thought that he was going to be murdered, but in the end he urged his cloth to become a gongbu!
Nothing is more exciting than this news!
He shared the matter with Shang Zhi, and Shang Zhi asked, "Has the Empress Dowager accepted the cloth you brought?"
"I took it away! I took it away and asked someone to send it to Siyifang together."
"Congratulations! Mao Qingbu finally became Kampot. But..." Shang Zhi curled his lips and smiled: "I will develop the smallpox prevention one!"
Gong Xingchen said excitedly: "This is a double happiness! Smallpox disease is terrifying. If you develop this medicine, it will definitely make you more famous!"
Shang Zhi smiled without saying a word, looking at the direction of the palace, his eyes unknown.
On the second day, news came out of the palace that Eunuch Chen had a high fever and his symptoms were like smallpox.
Immediately afterwards, someone from Siyifang also heard from him to get the smallpox.
In the palace, people were in panic for a while.
