After praising it, Xiao Lizi was thoughtful and wanted to get one of these summer-relieving treasures, so that he wouldn't have to sweat and be upset when he rested.
So he said with some embarrassment, "Master Ling, I wonder how to find such a treasure? The weather is really unbearably hot, and the Za family also wants to find one to relieve the heat."
Hearing this, Ling Yun's mind was moved, but he remained calm on the surface. His eyes wandered around, and he said with a troubled expression, "This... Eunuch Li, although this fan is not difficult to find, but..."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Lizi grabbed his hand with excitement and said excitedly, "Master Ling, you...you mean, do you still have this thing?"
Ling Yun nodded and said hesitantly, "Eunuch Li, it is true, but..."
"Just what?"
"Eunuch Li, to tell you the truth, this fan is actually something that this boy spent nearly half a month making."
As soon as these words came out, Eunuch Li was stunned for a moment, a look of disappointment emerged spontaneously, and he sighed softly, "Why... does it take so long?"
In terms of time, Ling Yun did not tell the truth, but the meaning was to show that this thing was very difficult to make, so that it would be easier to sell people.
Seeing the disappointed expression on Xiao Lizi's face, Ling Yun felt happy.
Ling Yun showed a bitter smile on his face and said helplessly, "This fan is very complicated. I worked with five or six craftsmen to make it."
Hearing that it took so much time and effort, Xiao Lizi hesitated for a moment and hesitated, "Then... then Master Ling, can you..."
Seeing Xiao Lizi's embarrassment, Ling Yun knew that his goal had been achieved, so he said generously, "Eunuch Li, I still have one at home. If Eunuch Li wants it, I will send it over later, but the one at home
It’s a bit different from the one in front of me, I hope Eunuch Li won’t mind.”
Xiao Lizi hurriedly shook his head and waved his hands, "I don't mind, I don't mind, the Za family doesn't mind at all."
Ling Yun breathed a sigh of relief in front of him, indicating that he was worried.
In fact, after these days of back and forth exploration, the four craftsmen were able to produce almost one fan per day. However, in order to prevent leakage, Lingyun did not produce a large number of fans.
Ling Yun knows that rare things are worth living in.
The rarer something is, the more valuable it is, especially in the capital city, where there are countless rich people. If he just wants to make money, mass production is fine, but he is not just doing it to make money.
After leaving his things behind, Ling Yun hurriedly left. Before leaving, Xiao Lizi repeatedly urged him to remember to bring the fan.
The young eunuch sent him out of the palace, and on the way he saw his hesitant expression. Ling Yun knew what he wanted to say, but he didn't say anything.
After leaving the palace, he returned to the Hanlin Academy as quickly as possible. Fortunately, no one knew about his absence from duty, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
When it was time to leave, Yang Ergou had already brought the fan, so the two of them walked towards the palace. As soon as they arrived, the young eunuch was waiting at the palace gate and moved the fan into the palace together. When everything was done, the eunuch changed.
Want to leave.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, he ran into Xiao Lizi, who was coming at a fast speed. Ling Yun did not dodge quickly, and the two of them bumped into each other without any warning.
So he hurriedly apologized, "Eunuch Li, forgive me. It's all my fault that I didn't have eyesight and bumped into Eunuch Li."
Little Li Zi raised his head and exclaimed, "Oh! It's Master Ling! The Za family is fine. It's all because the Za family walked in a hurry and didn't look at the road. They accidentally bumped into Master Ling. I wonder if Ling was hurt.
grown ups?"
As the saying goes, the hands that hold others are short and the mouth that eats them is soft, and it is true.
Ling Yun supported Little Li Zi and said, "Fortunately, Eunuch Li is fine. He scared the boy half to death just now."
Xiao Lizi calmed down and said in surprise, "Master Ling, are you leaving?"
"We are about to leave, Eunuch Li. I have placed the fan in the room. You can take a look at it when you have time. I will take the first step."
Hearing that the things had been delivered, Xiao Lizi was overjoyed. He grabbed Ling Yun's sleeves and pulled him into the room. While pulling him, he said, "Master Ling, you just came here and haven't had time to sit down yet. Why are you leaving? Come on, come on."
, drink a cup of hot tea first."
Then he looked at the little eunuch behind him and said, "Why are you still standing there, Xiao Chunzi? Why don't you serve tea quickly?"
"Yes, father-in-law."
When Xiao Chunzi heard this, he hurriedly prepared tea.
Ling Yun was grabbed by his sleeve and couldn't escape for a moment, so he had to go in and drink two cups of tea.
Before leaving, Xiao Lizi insisted on giving him the money for the fan. No matter how hard he struggled and said he didn't want the money, Xiao Lizi only said two words: "No."
Helpless, he had no choice but to take a symbolic banknote worth one hundred taels, and no matter what Xiao Lizi said, he didn't ask for it again.
"Lord Ling, Your Majesty was very happy when he saw the fan today. He kept praising Lord Ling for his loyalty and knowing how to relieve His Majesty's worries."
As soon as he heard these words, Ling Yun immediately knelt on the ground, facing the direction of the royal study, and choked with sobs, "Thank you for your majesty's praise, I really deserve it!"
Although he was reluctant to kneel down in his heart, he had to kneel down in order to show his sincerity to Emperor Qianxi.
Although this was just a show, he dared to conclude that every move he made here, every word he said, and every movement he made, would be transmitted to Emperor Qianxi's ears word for word.
Sure enough, after Ling Yun left, Xiao Lizi appeared next to Emperor Qianxi.
"What's the boy's answer?"
"Your Majesty, Master Ling is really loyal and loyal. As soon as I heard the slave say your Majesty's praise for him, he immediately knelt on the ground in panic..."
Hearing this, Emperor Qianxi stroked his dragon beard with a satisfied expression on his face and said with emotion, "Well! That boy is indeed extraordinary in both wisdom and ability. He may become my minister in the future.
"
Emperor Qianxi's words made Xiao Lizi's eyes light up, but he remained calm.
Emperor Qianxi said again, "Xiao Lizi, do you think this thing was really made by that boy himself?"
Xiao Lizi paused and replied in a low voice, "Your Majesty, what Master Ling said is indeed true, and according to my observation, Master Ling does not seem to be lying."
Emperor Qianxi sighed softly and said, "This thing is good, but there is only one. There are many concubines in the harem, which is far from meeting the requirements."
"Xiao Lizi, do you think there is any way to get that kid to submit more?"
Because he learned from Ling Yun in the morning that fans are not easy to make, Xiao Lizi did not say anything when he heard Emperor Qianxi's words.
According to Xiao Lizi's understanding of Emperor Qianxi, if Ling Yun didn't make ten or eight of them, he would definitely not give up!
Out of consideration, and also for Ling Yun's sake, Xiao Lizi said, "This... Your Majesty, why don't you invite Master Ling into the palace and ask a question?"
Emperor Qianxi nodded slightly and agreed, "Yeah! That's very good. Xiao Lizi, please send someone to bring that kid into the palace. I want to ask him face to face and see how he answers."
After Xiao Lizi left, Emperor Qianxi looked at the fan below and fell into deep thought.
