Kang Wang Rongjue's body stiffened. He deliberately cultivated his son just to make Rong Ji feel good and agree with him, not to make him a useless painting master. As a royal person, what use is having that reputation?
?
That supreme position is their ultimate goal.
Rong Ji ordered people to find out from the warehouse the Tibetan scripture paper that people paid tribute at the end of last month. This paper is of good quality, with a smooth and shiny surface. When used, the ink can be made deep and not transparent. However, this paper can be used every time
The annual output is extremely low, with only one hundred Tibetan scripture papers presented as tribute this year.
Rong Ji waved his hand and rewarded Rong Hai with half of the Buddhist scripture paper, as well as many precious pigments, pine smoke ink, and writing brushes.
In the eyes of outsiders, it was undoubtedly proof that he favored Prince Kang's Mansion. Everyone lamented that Prince Kang's Mansion was indeed a noble family, which was enviable.
Looking at these extremely generous rewards, King Kang believed that Rong Ji still doted on their palace. While feeling relieved, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed. It seemed that they had gone too far, causing the emperor to really think that Haier was obsessed with painting. Now these rewards
After everyone came down, the emperor even prepared a great scholar for Haier to be his teacher. Even if Haier pretended, he had to pretend to study seriously.
Anyway, the emperor has only had one daughter for so many years. It can be said that it is as difficult as ascending to heaven to have a prince born in the palace. The palace does not need to worry, there are plenty of opportunities!
He remembered that Queen Gu's natal niece was just one year old. If the girl's qualifications were acceptable, given her status as the Queen's natal niece, the marriage could still be concluded. In this way, Queen Gu could be tied to
On the ship of Prince Kang's Mansion.
After King Kang thanked the emperor, he went home with a generous reward.
He still didn't give up, and still worked hard to plan for his son. Even if he couldn't be the emperor, he still wanted his son to be!
Rong Ji looked at his leaving figure expressionlessly, his eyes getting deeper and deeper.
He was still thinking about the Queen's dream, which told him that he would be assassinated when Rong Hai was fifteen years old. It was still seven years before that time!
Was his assassination the work of his good brother?
He summoned the leader of the secret guards and said in a deep voice: "From today on, we will send people to monitor Prince Kang's mansion. If there is any trouble with Prince Kang and Prince Kang, please report to me as soon as possible."
"According to the decree."
…
After returning from Rizhuang, Su Yueling began to look at the new clothes made for her by several embroiderers.
During the Chinese New Year period, she had to wear different clothes every day, which also meant that Su Yueling had to choose at least fifteen sets of suitable clothes and design styling and makeup.
She is very busy!
Fortunately, she now has a lot of jewelry, so she can still match it with different jewelry every day.
As for preparations for the New Year, Baoshu and a few nuns are here. She also has Wu Shu in her small yard, so she can be the hands-on shopkeeper with peace of mind.
In addition to preparing for the New Year, Yuan Baoshu also has another thing to do, which is to recruit enough craftsmen for the dyeing workshop.
Inspired by Su Yueling, she quickly posted a recruitment notice. As long as the selected villagers work five hours a day, they have three days of rest time a month. The salary is 40 cents a day. During the holidays,
There will also be additional boxing gifts. In addition, the top ten who do the fastest and best every month will be awarded bonuses according to their rankings. The first place will receive a bonus of three taels, and the tenth place will also receive a bonus of five hundred taels.
.Select one hundred people in the first batch.
As soon as the news came out, it was like pouring hot water into a pan, making the whole Lushan Village boil.
This means that if they are selected, they will receive at least 1,200 coins a month, which can be said to be a good treatment that they can't even imagine. As long as one person in the family is selected, the whole family will have household expenses.
, if you use it sparingly, you can still save money. And according to Baoshu's words, this is only the first batch.
Suddenly, the threshold of the Yuan family was almost leveled.
Baoshu has a perfect temperament. This is related to the future development of the dyeing workshop, so she naturally has to personally check it. She is as busy as a spinning top, so she reluctantly finalizes the first batch of 100 people before the New Year, and waits for the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.
Construction is about to start. In order to benefit as many families as possible, in the first batch, each family can only have one at most.
She had a lot of work, and the weather had changed a lot in the past few days, which led to Baoshu falling ill before New Year's Eve.
The Yuan family immediately called a doctor to see her and prescribe medicine. Baoshu's fever subsided quickly, but she still looked a little weak and needed to rest for a few days.
There are still several nuns at home, so Baoshu's fall will not cause chaos in the Yuan family. They still seem to be in order, and there are no mistakes in human relations.
Most of the things can be taken care of by a few nuns, except for the banquet reception, because the female relatives will also come to the house, the hostess needs to come forward.
When Baoshu collapsed, although Su Yueling was impatient to deal with this, it was impossible for Baoshu to hold on to her sick body to entertain them.
In modern times, she has attended many banquets and even held several banquets, gaining a good reputation.
The banquet was held on the sixth day of the first lunar month. The female family members invited about fifteen people. The male guests and the female family members were directly arranged in different courtyards. After all, Su Yueling's house was big enough, so it would not be a big problem to accommodate these people.
The menu had already been drawn up. Su Yueling took a look and found that it was basically the Yuan family's special menu.
Su Yueling looked out the window and realized that the coldest time of year in Nanzhou is during the Chinese New Year.
Even if there are enough braziers, the food will still cool down relatively quickly.
She suddenly had an idea in her mind. She might as well add a hot pot. One pot had just two flavors, making it a mandarin duck pot. It was comfortable to eat hot at this time.
For a table of five people, including the Yuan family, eight iron pots were enough, but just in case, Su Yueling still had ten.
She quickly drew a design and asked the most skilled blacksmith in the city to make it within three days. After all, after getting it back, the kitchen had to test the cooking time of each ingredient.
And the table stove for hot pot must also be prepared.
So on the first day of the new year, Blacksmith Zhang in the city received such a business.
He said to his wife Zhang: "I won't be visiting relatives with you these two days. I have a business here and it must be completed within three days."
Zhang's tone was a little dissatisfied, "What kind of business is this? It's Chinese New Year. It's hard to take a few days off, so why are you arranging work for others?"
"Hurry up and quit this job so that you can live a peaceful life."
Zhang Tiejiang said: "This is the business of Wei Guo Xiangjun, and more importantly, she gave me a reward of ten taels of silver!"
This money is remuneration after deducting costs.
Ten taels of silver!
Mrs. Zhang's eyes widened and she immediately changed her tone, "Then why don't you go to the shop quickly? Don't waste time. That's Xiang Jun's business!"
"It's enough for me to visit relatives. You're just a gourd beside me. You might as well do the work ordered by Xiang Jun."
As she said that, she pushed her husband and urged him to go to work quickly. If she didn't understand this, she would have wanted to help.
