After sending Mao Bijiang away, Lin Chong looked up to the sky and sighed, he could only place his hope on the last person.
As soon as Wei Changqing came in, he felt a low pressure surrounding him. The emperor seemed very depressed, sitting in front of him gloomily looking at him. Wei Changqing first reflected on whether he had done something wrong recently and angered his majesty.
After checking it again, I found that it was not there.
He just checked the accounts a few days ago. At the end of the year, he also contributed a large amount of taxes. Logically speaking, Lin Chong should be very happy to see him now.
"Your Majesty?" Wei Changqing saw that he had been in for a long time and Lin Chong still had no reaction. Then he realized that he was thinking about something and might not have seen him at all, so he had to remind him aloud.
When Lin Chong heard his voice, he suddenly woke up and looked at him like he was looking at a savior.
Wei Changqing was frightened by the emperor's attitude and felt confused: "Your Majesty, what's bothering you recently? I just saw Mr. Mao walking out with a gloomy look on his face, but what was the dispute between the two of you?"
He was quite surprised. Mao Bijiang didn't look like the kind of person who would argue with the emperor. However, judging from the look of Mao Bijiang walking out just now, he could only speculate like this.
Lin Chong shook his head: "There is no dispute, but I do have a major matter that needs to be resolved urgently."
Wei Changqing came closer and looked at him with interest: "I wonder what it is? If you tell me, the common people may be able to share your worries."
Lin Chong patted him on the shoulder resolutely: "I called you here just to share my worries. It's not that the day of the Queen's Ceremony is approaching, but I always feel that if I only send a pair of jade geese, it would be really unreasonable.
It’s too shabby. The most important thing is that there is no sincerity at all, right?”
Wei Changqing understood: "So you want us to help the staff to see if we can send some other gifts to Miss Yuan that can show sincerity?"
Lin Chong nodded: "That's right. I've called Lao Qiao and Mr. Mao here before, but if their gifts are given on a daily basis, it's okay, but if they are used as wedding gifts, I think it's really unbelievable. That's why I specially asked you to come here to discuss it.
Let’s discuss. Based on your years of experience, do you have any good ideas?”
Wei Changqing was speechless, what do you mean? Judging from my many years of experience, what experience do I have? I have never married a wife until now. Although I have molested many young girls, it cannot be compared with this situation.
It’s comparable!
But he couldn't help but think of ways to solve His Majesty's problem, so he had to bite the bullet and help analyze it: "Look, if you want to give a gift, of course you should pick something that the person likes and needs, right?"
Lin Chong nodded, feeling that what he said was right: "It makes sense, I think so too, go on."
Wei Changqing thought for a while: "Miss Yuan usually doesn't seem to care about money very much. I guess she won't take it seriously even if I give you some gold and silver jewelry."
Lin Chong touched his chin: "But if you want to pick out those women's rouge and gouache, I'm not very familiar with it."
"Of course the Ministry of Internal Affairs will prepare things like rouge and gouache. There are all kinds of them. Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about this. Besides, sending this doesn't reflect your sincerity."
Lin Chong collapsed again: "To be honest, I really think this matter is more difficult than when we defended Nanjing. At that time, we knew what to do, but now we have no idea at all."
Wei Changqing already had an idea in his mind: "Since Miss Yuan doesn't particularly like anything, let's start with what she needs."
"She needs to calm down and be her queen, instead of going out and running around every day." In fact, he can think of a lot of what he needs, and the first one should be clothes.
Probably due to personal preference, Yuan Qingfang's clothes are almost all in very elegant colors and styles. People in the palace have told her several times, but she has no plans to make new clothes.
Lin Chong planned to talk to her this time and prepare a few sets of gorgeous and dignified clothes for her. After all, she would be regarded as the mistress of the Sixth Palace in the world. Although she didn't know how long she would be able to perform, but in the meantime
Position, do you want to seek political power?
What Mao Bijiang thought of was not clothes, but another kind of thing, but generally speaking, what he thought was similar to what Lin Chong thought: "Miss Yuan probably doesn't like those bulky jade jewelry, since His Majesty really wants to express himself
Sincerely, it would be better to make a hairpin with your own hands and give it to her."
"Hairpin?" Lin Chong had never considered this before. He was almost tortured to death by that wooden sculpture.
"Yeah, it shouldn't be a difficult thing to make a hairpin by yourself. This thing doesn't need to be made to be particularly gorgeous, and it's also easy to carry and store. How about it?" Mao Pijiang thought of his suggestion.
It's simply too good.
"Would you like to make a hairpin by yourself? This is indeed a good idea." Lin Chong listened all morning and finally heard a feasible method. It is not only simple but also romantic, and the most important thing is that he can do it himself, which can be regarded as a good expression.
My own sincerity.
"Okay, here's the hairpin." Lin Chong finally solved a problem that had been bothering him for many days, and he felt particularly comfortable.
Wei Changqing breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, his words were accepted. Otherwise, he wouldn't have known how the emperor would torment him.
"In addition to the hairpins made by myself, I can also give you a set of matching jewelry. The effect should be very good." Wei Changqing added with a smile.
Lin Chong nodded: "Then you can find a better store another day, and then we go pick out the jewelry first. I'm buying materials to make matching hairpins."
Wei Changqing nodded: "Then what else are you going to pick? Just go to my store and make your selections. Let's see if you have time someday, let's just go there?"
Lin Chong raised his eyebrows: "You have time now, let's go? It's time to eat, and I'm hungry too." After speaking, he stretched.
There are not many complete sets of jewelry to begin with, and even fewer if they are up to Lin Chong's level.
Lin Chong hesitated between a set of red and black jewelry with red coral and agarwood and a set of glossy light-colored pearls. In his opinion, both of them were good. Wei Changqing also came over to help choose, but he thought
The one that won is a set of jade jewelry.
Because the pair of geese he shot earlier were made of jade, Lin Chong deliberately wanted to avoid other jewelry related to jade, and finally chose the set of red coral and agarwood.
Even though Wei Changqing promised to give Lin Chong a discount, this set of jewelry still cost Lin Chong eight hundred and forty taels of silver in the end. What was rare was that he didn't feel sorry for the money in his pocket, and he bought it decisively without even frowning.
