Chapter 227 Flower Pot
Chapter 227 Flowerpot
Cheng Fangyuan sent Lu Xiangge to his home, and then urged the small cabinet to drive the carriage back home in a hurry.
In the study, King Qin was practicing calligraphy. When he finished practicing a pair of large characters, King Qin stopped writing and asked, "Has the person been sent home?"
Cheng Fangyuan stepped forward, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to grind: "Yes, I personally sent Fourth Young Master Lu home. I also met Fourth Young Master Lu's parents and sister."
Seeing that King Qin didn't say anything, Cheng Fangyuan continued: "Fourth Young Master Lu's parents are good and responsible people at first glance, and the relationship between the sisters at home and Fourth Young Master is also very good. Before Fourth Young Master got off the carriage, Fourth Young Master's younger brother and sister came first
He came out. I also heard the fourth young master’s brother say that the dumplings to be made tonight are filled with the three delicacies that are the fourth young master’s favorite, and there are whole shrimps in the filling.”
"The slave was only delivered to the door, but did not enter, but stayed at the door for a while. Later, the Fourth Young Master probably stood at the door for a long time, and the Fourth Young Master's father, mother and sister also came out to check. The whole family was chatting and laughing.
It was very harmonious when we went up there. Maybe the slave's carriage was in the alley, or Commander Song was at the door. When the Fourth Young Master's parents came out, they only said a few words to the Fourth Young Master before going in."
King Qin picked up his pen and was about to continue writing. He seemed to remember something again and asked, "Can Song Yunfei leave then?"
Manager Cheng replied while grinding: "No, when I left, Commander Song was still standing outside the door talking to Fourth Young Master Lu. It seems that Fourth Young Master Lu had no intention of letting Commander Song in."
"You don't want him to come in and you're talking about Brother Yunfei?" King Qin put down his pen with a slight dissatisfaction, "I think Lu Xiaosi is also a brainless person. With Song Yunfei's identity, is it appropriate to let him stand at the door?"
Manager Cheng didn't understand what King Qin meant for a moment, and his men paused slightly.
Then I heard King Qin continue to say: "I can't blame him. He grew up in the countryside and no one taught him the rules. If it were me, I would either not let Song Yunfei come to the door, or I would welcome people in politely. This
Standing at the door and talking, people see him and don’t know what to say about him.”
Cheng Fangyuan's mind was spinning rapidly and he immediately replied: "The minion's carriage stopped for a while, and the Fourth Young Master and Commander Song only exchanged a few words. When the minion's carriage left the alley and turned onto the main road, Song
The commander's horse passed by the slave's car. It looked like he was a little unhappy."
"I can't even get through the door. I wouldn't be happy if I changed it."
King Qin said this with a clear smile on his face, and even the eyes that looked very similar to Queen Shen's were like the broken starry sky.
"Tomorrow you go into the palace and tell your mother that the banquet was held very well today, and ask her to reward the king with something to give to Manager Deng. I'm bothering him now. If the queen asks about it, just tell her that today's banquet was held very well."
The prince of the Tang Dynasty, who is the Duke of Zhenguo's palace, brought a fellow countryman, and I was very kind to him, so I specially sent a carriage from the palace to give him a ride. If my father asks about it, you can also say the same."
"Yes, I will save it." After Manager Cheng agreed, he asked cautiously, "Isn't it a bit inappropriate to ask the empress to reward Manager Deng with something? How about I go to the warehouse to search and pick something suitable."
"No need." King Qin sneered, "It's not like Deng Wuwei doesn't know that there are no good things in Prince Qin's palace, so why bother pretending to be fat? The gifts you received today can't just be taken out for rewards, they should be put away carefully for me.
In the warehouse, I am still counting on them to repay the favor."
The hand that was grinding the tube stopped for a moment, and then continued grinding in circles.
When the King of Qin went out to build a palace, except for the empress and his wife who provided some private subsidies, there was not even a single reward from the Holy Emperor.
But the empress is no richer than Concubine Zhou, and none of her brothers and sisters are left, leaving only a sister-in-law and a few children in the family. Not to mention secretly helping the empress, it would be good not to allow the empress to supplement.
The Queen is poor, and the King of Qin is even poorer!
A few years ago, Concubine Zhou followed His Majesty all the way from Huai River to the capital. When the empress was brought to the capital, Concubine Zhou had plundered all the valuable things in the palace that should be looted, and only what could be left for the empress.
These dead things cannot be sold or exchanged for money.
Even though the Qin Prince's Mansion is decorated with flowers and decorations, it is actually very poor. Even next month's moonlight is not clear where it will come from.
King Qin wrote three more words before he put down his pen and ordered Cheng Fangyuan to bring up today's gift list.
Since he was so poor, he naturally wanted to look through the gift list to see if there was anything valuable that could be sold off so that he could get money to maintain the daily expenses of the palace.
There is a long gift list, and most of the gifts are rare treasures, each of which is worth a lot of money.
But just because it is a rare treasure, it is impossible to sell it off. It is really eye-catching.
"What is this?" King Qin asked, pointing to Lu He's name on the gift list.
Manager Cheng took a look and saw under Lu Xi's name written, "Fu Lu Shou Xi Cai Wealth Bonsai".
Manager Cheng also became curious: "I don't know."
King Qin flicked the gift list with interest: "Let the small table be moved to the warehouse for me to see."
Soon, the small table led a group of young eunuchs in, humming and carrying a shining golden bonsai.
Even the King of Qin, who saw many rare treasures in the palace, could not help but be surprised by the dazzling array of bonsai in front of him.
"this……"
This is too rich!
The bonsai in front of you is half a person tall. The body of the basin is made of gold, and the top is made of gold, silver, jade and jade jewelry to form a rockery tree.
King Qin approached and raised his hand to touch a pomegranate tree next to the rockery that was full of pomegranates. He looked closely and saw that the red pomegranates on it were all smiling, and stuffed inside was a ruby as big as a thumb!
"Hahaha..." King Qin couldn't help laughing loudly, "This Lu Xiaosi is indeed rich and powerful. I really opened my eyes today."
As he said that, King Qin picked off a green jade leaf from the bonsai and handed it to Cheng Fangyuan: "Let's put this bonsai in the study. If we don't have any money to use it in the future, we will pick it from here and exchange it for silver. This mountain is full of
I’ve finished picking the jade, jewelry, and jade. This flowerpot, once melted, can be used by Prince Qin’s palace for several years.”
Manager Cheng took the jade leaf from King Qin and looked at it carefully under the lamp.
The green leaves are actually carved from warm jade. The jade is so clear and translucent that it is valuable at first glance, and the lines on it are even more lifelike.
The most amazing thing is that the leaves on this pomegranate tree are almost the same size and color, so it can be seen that they are carved from a piece of jade.
Cheng Fangyuan's hand holding the jade leaf trembled slightly, and after a long while he asked: "Your Highness, do you really want to exchange this for silver?"
"If you don't want to exchange money for it, where do you think such a big pot is suitable to be placed in the palace?" King Qin's eyebrows were dyed with a smile, "I would definitely be reluctant to give it away, and it would be a bit dazzling if I left it there, so I might as well exchange it for silver.
It’s better than leaving it in a warehouse to gather ashes.”
Manager Cheng thought about it and it was true that this pot of good fortune, longevity, happiness and wealth looked extremely vulgar, but it was actually made of gold, silver and jewels.
The only real option is to take them out separately and exchange them for silver.
Fourth Young Master Lu is such a quickie, this gift is so suitable for Prince Qin’s Palace!
