Su Yizhao immediately pulled his thoughts back. Zhao Shiquan was so excited. Could it be that he had gained a lot from going to sea this time?
She had invested 50,000 taels before, but she didn't know how much she could double it this time.
Because the mission is to establish friendly relations with various countries, the goods brought this time are not many, only about one million taels.
The emperor and a group of officials boarded the ship. When they saw the cargo in the cabin, the eyes of the emperor and the officials could not help but shine.
Zhao Shiquan ordered someone to open one of the wooden boxes and found that it was full of items belonging to the foreign vassal.
The emperor took out an item and looked at it carefully. He was shocked when he found that the object illuminated people very clearly and every detail was visible.
"What is this?" The emperor almost threw the object in his hand. It looked like the shape of a bronze mirror, but the image was much clearer than the bronze mirror.
Su Yizhao was happy when he saw it. Isn't this a glass mirror?
Although the bronze mirror from the Dayun Dynasty is polished and very clear, it is not as clear as the glass mirror.
I was used to using glass mirrors in my previous life, but I didn't have one when I first came here. It took a while to get used to it.
"Your Majesty, this is a glass mirror, it shows people very clearly."
Zhao Shiquan introduced it quickly, causing all the ministers behind the emperor to crane their necks to take a look.
"It's really clear. It's really strange. I don't know how to do it." The emperor smiled, and then said with emotion.
The second prince glanced at Zhao Shiquan and other officials, his eyes showing a little tiredness, thinking that he had a hard time on the ship.
"Father! Mr. Zhao and other officials have been through a long journey. Aren't we going to give them a break today? Why don't we wait for the dinner and ask in detail?"
The emperor glanced at the second prince with an incomprehensible expression.
"That's fine! You can go back and rest first. I have already announced that there will be a banquet today. Let's talk about it after the dinner!"
When Su Yizhao returned to his mansion after leaving his job, he immediately calculated how much money he should be able to get.
She must have claimed to the outside world that it was given by the Su family. After all, she was a junior and a court official. She must have taken out 50,000 taels at once, so she would definitely not be able to tell.
In fact, Su Jinxun only paid five thousand taels, and when the time came, he would give the silver to Su Jinxun according to the quota.
But in this case, Su Jinxun will definitely guess that she has private property.
"Young Master! Eunuch Chen from the palace came to the house and said that the emperor invited the old master. The third master will attend the palace banquet with you."
Su Yizhao was a little surprised after hearing what the attendant said. He didn't expect that he would also receive an invitation. After all, palace banquets usually only entertain officials of fifth rank or above.
After cleaning himself up, Su Yizhao planned to follow Su Jinxun and others to attend the banquet.
"The previous military exercise has aroused the dissatisfaction of the cabinet. Recently, you have been keeping a low profile to prevent those old men from stumbling upon you secretly."
Su Yizhao and Su Jinxun were riding in a carriage together. Su Jinxun was a little worried about Su Yizhao's situation during the journey.
The first assistant has been very honest in the past few months, but that does not mean that E Chongming will not take action again.
That is to say, because of the fighting between several princes in the court, E Chongming and others had no time to take care of Su Yizhao, otherwise they would have been unable to restrain themselves.
"My grandson can save it." Su Yizhao sighed as she said it. It's not like she just wants to keep a low profile!
Only Su Yizhao, the fifth-rank official below, had the honor to attend the palace banquet, so he could no longer keep a low profile.
"The merchant ship went out to sea very smoothly this time. This money will definitely be doubled several times. Your Majesty Long Yan is very happy. You are in a good mood today."
Su Jinxun said and looked at Su Yizhao again, "I know you have made a lot of money from private property in the past few years, but this time you are a little too bold. I am afraid that you are too greedy if you are young. Maritime trade is too dangerous, and profit and loss
Half and half, don’t be too radical.”
Su Yizhao was a little speechless. How come two people knew that she was setting up private property outside?
You actually hid it before and pretended to be serious?
Su Jinxun knew what Su Yizhao was thinking as soon as he looked at him, and couldn't help snorting.
"Hmph! You think you can hide it well, but how can you hide it from me? That is to say, I will bear the burden for you. Otherwise, how do you think your restaurant can be so peaceful? Giving money to others is far less trustworthy than your own family."
Su Yizhao suddenly felt a little embarrassed. It turned out that Su Jinxun knew that she owned a restaurant.
"Although our family does not allow the purchase of private property, if the younger generation makes a living outside of home, I will never ask about it and just pretend that I don't know. After all, how can the family have so little money and the man has to socialize with others?"
It turned out that Su Yizhao was very surprised that the old man was so open-minded. Didn't he say that Su Jinxun was old-fashioned before?
"But don't go too far. After all, you are a court official. If you are found to be doing your own business, you will definitely be punished.
You should be smarter and don't do everything yourself. If necessary, you should leave everything behind. Don't ruin your own future."
Su Jinxun was afraid that Su Yizhao would be obsessed with business and get carried away by money, so he reminded him.
Su Yizhao glanced at Su Jinxun, who had gray hair on his temples, and couldn't help feeling warm in his heart.
Regardless of whether Su Jinxun had other motives for being nice to her before, at this moment, she could feel Su Jinxun's love and care for her.
"My grandson knows!" Su Yizhao said with a smile, "It turns out that I can't hide anything from you, but I am still so proud of myself!"
Su Jinxun patted Su Yizhao's head and said, "Don't try to play tricks in front of the elders. What can happen in the house that can escape my eyes?"
Su Yizhao immediately cursed in his heart, "There is one thing you may not know. I may not be your son's biological child."
It suddenly occurred to me that if the identity was really as he guessed, would Su Jinxun still be so kind to him after knowing the truth?
"You always ran away in the two years after you first entered the government. I have already sent people to pay attention to you. I was afraid that you had stayed in the countryside and didn't understand the world. After you came to the capital, you were led into bad habits. Who would have thought that you are smarter than anyone else?
, it seems like I still have a plan."
Su Yizhao was speechless about Su Jinxun's complacency. It seemed that Su Wenqing's identity was no problem, he was Su Jinxun's biological child.
The carriage arrived outside the palace gate, and Su Yizhao followed Su Jinxun and Su Wenzhou into Yanying Hall.
Because Su Yizhao was the lowest grade, she sat at the bottom of the seat, not far away from Su Wenzhou.
"Remember! Be careful in your words and actions, but don't be arrogant because of favors." Su Jinxun warned again uneasily and walked towards his seat.
After waiting for about half an hour, all the ministers arrived one after another.
Su Yizhao took a look at the pastries and other items that had just been served. They were all cold, only the tea was hot.
As soon as she turned her head, she saw E Chongming, the chief officer on the opposite side, looking at her with squinted eyes. Su Yizhao immediately picked up the tea bowl and shook his head towards him.
The old man looked sinister, and he didn't know what he was plotting. It was as if he couldn't live without planning.
"Master Zhao! Tell us about the customs and customs of other countries. It would be great if you could write a book about what you saw and heard when you come back."
As soon as they saw Zhao Shiquan and officials from other countries arriving, everyone immediately surrounded them and asked all kinds of questions.
