Chapter 78 Some Moments of Spring
"Ding, ding, ding..." Li Xian, the Emperor of the Dragon of Yingtian of the Tang Dynasty, drew out a long round arrow from the arrow box, and threw the bronze pot one by one ten steps away, smashing the pot with a constant sound.
He was slightly fat and his limbs were very average. He threw an arrow in his irritability, and the possibility of hitting was even slim, and his forehead was so blue veins leaping. However, no one in the eunuchs and palace maids in Zichen Palace, including Gao Yanfu, who was most favored and spoken, dared not come forward to persuade him to take a rest.
After the discount, the revolving lantern worth more than 1,800 yuan was sold, and three were sold in less than half a moment in the Zhenbao Pavilion in Dongshi. Other expensive glass products were also pulled to their homes by the housekeepers of some officials! This shows that his uneasy sister, Princess Taiping, is still in a sharp expansion in the team of senior officials. And he, the emperor, will be helpless unless he kills his relatives like his mother!
"Report, Master, Baiqisi sent the latest news, Liushen Business..." Zheng Kejun, deputy commander of Baiqisi, jogged in in a hurry, bowing to Li Xian with excitement.
"Go out, I don't want to listen!" Li Xian quickly raised his head, his round face full of anger.
"This is!" Zheng Kejun was startled and bowed to Li Xian. While retreating and slowly walked towards the palace gate, he asked Gao Yanfu for help with his eyes.
Reporting the "war situation" between the Zhenbao Pavilion and the Liushen sides into the palace as soon as possible was the task assigned by Emperor Yingtian Shenlong Li Xian to Baiqisi this morning. At that time, His Majesty the Emperor obviously acted like watching the fun and was preparing to sit in the mountains to watch the tiger fight. But now, why did His Majesty the Emperor suddenly change his mind before the two sides decided the victory or defeat?
Gao Yanfu frowned, and his expression on his face was very embarrassed. However, after hesitating for a while, he still lowered his head and tiptoed to Li Xian. While giving arrows to the other party, he carefully reminded: "The Master, it's news from the Liushen Business. With Zhang Shaojian's ability, he may not easily admit defeat to the cannibal!"
"Of course I know that he won't give in easily, but..." Li Xian snatched a long arrow, and without even looking at it, he threw it at the copper pot ten steps away.
Zhang Qian would not admit defeat easily, he had known this for a long time. Otherwise, he would not have been watching the fun before and ordered the Baiqisi to convey messages to himself at any time. However, no matter how capable Zhang Qian is, he is just a rising star with little foundation. On Princess Taiping, there are more than a dozen senior officials and seniors from prominent families. No matter the political resources or financial resources that both parties can mobilize, they cannot be compared!
"Ding! Ding Ding Ding..." The long arrow entered the pot, making a pleasant impact, jumped up instantly, and then fell into the pot again. The arrowheads and arrow shafts hit the pot one after another, making a crisp sound.
The musician responsible for scoring next to him quickly rang the chime bells, "Dingdong, Dingdong, Dingdong..." In an instant, the sound of the bells like flowing water rang in the Zichen Hall, making everyone feel relaxed.
"I'm beaten?" Li Xian was stunned. He didn't believe his luck, and he would suddenly become so good.
"Congratulations to the Master, you have been hit by the arrow!" Gao Yanfu immediately pretended to be excited and danced with his hands. (Note: The arrow will pop up into the pot and then fall into it. It is called the arrow. It is a difficult action and can get a high score.)
Li Xian's eyes flashed in an instant. He looked at the throwing pot carefully, and found that the arrow shaft was still bounced slightly along the pot. He immediately began to reverse his mood. He waved to Zheng Kejun and whispered the order, "Come back and finish your words. Liushen Business has opened, how did they resist it."
"Yes!" Zheng Kejun quickly jogged back to the front, smiling, "On the Emperor, Liushen Business has also launched various glass lamps and glass products, with the highest price of five hangings! Today's special price for the lantern, four hangings and one pair."
"How many?" Li Xian's eyes widened, and he could not believe his ears at all.
"Four hangs and one pair! Other glazed products are available, and the highest price is no more than five hangs." Zheng Kejun lowered his head and continued to replenish quickly, not daring to show any expressions to avoid conflict with Li Xian's attitude.
The next moment, he found that his caution was very unnecessary. The Emperor of Yingtian Dragon, Li Xian, actually laughed out loud regardless of his demeanor, "Ah, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
"Four hangs and two?" Gao Yanfu was steady and took advantage of the inattention of the Dragon Emperor Li Xian, and quickly turned his gaze to Zheng Kejun and confirmed in a very low voice, "Your flying cavalry is not wrong, that's Liuli!"
"Four hangs, four hangs, two hangs. And accept the reservation, it will always be the price, how much is it!" Zheng Kejun nodded with a smile without thinking, "After the news came out, someone fainted on the spot. Those guys who bet on the big cannibals' winning all lost money!"
"Hu——" Gao Yanfu felt relieved in his heart, and suddenly felt that the sunshine outside was so bright. However, he refused to make any sound from his mouth.
"Four hangs, one pair. Those who spent 1,800 hangs to buy one, hahaha, hahahahahaha..." Li Xian did not have this kind of fear and continued to laugh and stroking his palms. His heart was even more refreshing than drinking half a pound of chrysanthemum white in one breath!
The loss of money for thousands of people may be just a drizzle for ministers who are close to Princess Taiping and noble families. However, the blow to those people's prestige is immeasurable. No matter what kind of storm that those people stand up to incite, it will definitely remind the bystanders of the stupid thing they once spent 2,000 yuan to buy items that were originally worth two yuan to go home, and then they expressed serious doubts about their views.
After this heavy blow, they will seriously consider whether Princess Taiping is worthy of their followers? This time they lost to Zhang Qian, all they lost was money and prestige. If they lost to others next time, it might not be as simple as losing money and embarrassment!
Just as he was laughing happily, he heard a burst of rapid footsteps outside the door. Immediately afterwards, a Baiqisi Feiqi dressed as a captain quickly stepped onto the steps of Zichen Hall and bowed to the Qianniu on duty.
"Master Zheng, go and ask what's going on? Is there any new news coming?" Li Xian turned to Zheng Kejun without hesitation and gave an order with a smile.
"Abide by the order!" Zheng Kejun agreed and quickly went out to pick up the person. After a moment, he turned back with joy. "The Master is wise, it is indeed new news. Liushen Business also launched a glass mirror that was several times clearer than the bronze mirror, which caused a sensation in the whole city. Zhang Shaojian was preparing to present the largest glass mirror half a person taller to the Master. At this moment, the friend of Liushen Business Business and the bad people in Chang'an were escorted to Daming Palace."
"Hmm?! Mirror? Let me give it to me?" Li Xian raised his eyebrows, and the joy on his face immediately turned into surprise.
"This young prison is really a savage. As long as he is loyal to the emperor, when will the emperor still be missing a mirror?" I have never seen the difference in the effect of the glass mirror and the bronze mirror. Gao Yuanfu didn't know how valuable this thing is. He chased the orchid finger and whispered to Li Xian next to him.
"Then will you go out and stop them?" Zheng Kejun had never seen what the Liuli Mirror looked like, so he thought about it and asked Li Xian for a while.
"No need!" Li Xian had already made up a whole set of reasons, and shook his head with a smile, "Send out the Hundred Riders to bring the mirror into the palace for me, so as not to be damaged on the way!"
"Yes!" Zheng Kejun was confused, but he didn't dare to ask more questions. He bowed and turned around and left.
"Let's go!" Li Xian's expression suddenly became solemn. He called him first, then nodded slightly at Gao Yanfu, "Gao Zheng, you go too. By the way, I will send a verbal order to Zhang Qing. I have accepted this gift! Let him take care of his illness. When the injury is healed, go to the secretary supervisor to perform his duties as soon as possible. Don't dare to let go because you are young. Tell him that I will bear everything!"
"I obey the order!" Gao Yanfu understood it, bowed and bowed, then quickly caught up with Zheng Kejun, and walked out of the gate of Zichen Hall side by side with the latter.
Spring has come, and outside the door, the sun is bright and warm.
………………………………………
"The glazed glass in our store was made of ancient prescriptions of Fuli a thousand years ago. It was transported by the great cannibals from 48,000 miles away to the Tang Dynasty. On the way, you have to pass through the 3,000 flame desert and then board the ship in Aden. Then you can pass through the ocean of storm, the ocean of spice and the sea of sulfur to reach Guangzhou. At this point, the goods carried by ten thousand camels were less than 300..." In the sunlight a quarter of an hour ago, Ma Liufu, the shopkeeper of Zhenbao Pavilion in Dongshi, held a cup of tea with a glass cup and talked to the butlers of seven or eight high-ranking territories.
He didn't know where Fu Chi and An Liu were. He didn't know how the camel of Dashi walked through the flame desert with his flesh palm for three years but was not roasted. As for the Ocean of Storm, the Ocean of Spice and the Ocean of Sulphur, he even made up his name just a few days ago, but this did not prevent him from being polite.
The butlers who showed their talents in wealthy families also smiled and said with scruples. They often sighed in their mouths in cooperation. As if not, it would not be enough to show their owners' mood to buy goods.
"Please look carefully at the peacock at the door. The tail feathers are from different angles. The colors you see are definitely different. If you squint your eyes, you can still see the treasure light on the glass!" Seeing this, Ma Liufu became more and more intense. He raised his fat left hand and pointed to the glazed peacock placed at the door, and continued to add with a smile, "Although the things sold in Chang'an City are called glazed, they will definitely not be so pure. Moreover, there will be no such treasure light. The preciousness of the glazed glass is here. With this layer of treasure light, users can turn bad luck into good life and prolong their lives."
"Oh!" "Tsk tsk!" "It's true, I saw it, I saw it!" "Yes, there is indeed..." The butlers narrowed their eyes according to Ma Liufu, but could not see where the so-called treasure light was. However, on their mouths, they were all scrambling to stutter.
As the saying goes, the fourth-rank official of the Prime Minister's house who can be a steward in a high-ranking family is not a good idea of the officialdom. Today they came to buy glazed glass on behalf of their respective owners, not because the big food glazed glass is so expensive, but to represent their own owners behind them, they expressed their support for the princess of the country.
Since the purpose is not Liuli itself, no matter how much Ma Liufu brags, there is certainly no need for the butlers to expose it. Thousands of Kaiyuan Tongbao were smashed out without blinking. Who would care about saying a few more flattering words?
"Look at the eight-treasure glass lamp again. The so-called eight-treasure does not mean that there are eight kinds of gems inlaid on it. Instead, the eight functions of treasures, attract blessings, avoid misfortunes, and reflect on traitors..." There are too many customers, and the glass is a fragile product, and it takes a lot of time to load the car. Therefore, Ma Liufu, the shopkeeper of Zhenbao Pavilion in Dongshi, continued to shine on the lotus, attracting the attention of the butlers, so that everyone would not be too bored to wait.
Just as he was happily speaking, a few noises suddenly came from the door. Immediately afterwards, the servants of Taichang Shaoqing's mansion rushed in panting, regardless of the precious glass worth thousands of yuan on the ground, rushed to Zheng Shaodong, the housekeeper of our mansion in two steps, and whispered in a low voice: "Uncle Fu, there is something urgent at home. The mistress called you to go back quickly. The glass from Zhenbao Pavilion will come back early tomorrow morning to buy it!"
"Miss Mother called me?" Zheng Fu, the butler of Taichang Shaoqing Mansion, was stunned, and his eyes instantly glared.
His family knows his family affairs. His owner, Zheng Yan, just lost his eldest wife last fall. Now several concubines are fighting openly and secretly to compete for the position of the mistress, and the winner has not yet been decided. Where could a mistress stand up and give orders to him.
However, as smart as him, he didn't have to think about it, and he knew that the servants would not dare to deceive him casually. He quickly politely attacked Ma Liufu, followed the servants, and rushed out of the door quickly.
Before the two of them could step down the steps, five or six servants stumbled outside the Zhenbao Pavilion in Dongshi. Each of them was sweating profusely. But no one cared about wiping. He pushed open the mate who greeted him at the door and broke into the cabinet, pulled the housekeepers in their respective houses, and rushed to explain the reason to ask him to return home quickly. "Uncle Zhong, the master fell just now and was unconscious. No one at home made the decision. The mistress ordered you to go back home quickly!"
"Shou Lao, the master's head disease recurs..."
"Old De, my second aunt suffered a abdominal pain today. Maybe she had a happy meridian. My master asked you to go back..."
...
There are all kinds of rhetoric, but the purpose is the same. They are all giving up buying glass and come back another day.
In a hurry, Ma Liufu, the shopkeeper of Zhenbao Pavilion, could keep this and that. He almost watched the guests in the room and walked away cleanly.
"Uncle Fu, Shou Lao, De Lao..." Fortunately, Ma Liufu is also an old man. Although he knew that he had encountered big trouble, he was calm in the face of danger. He smiled and rushed out of the door, watching the butlers get on the horse and get on the bus.
"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, it's not good. Liushen also sells glass lamps, each one, two hangings!" A guy in charge of inquiring about the opponent appeared beside him with a pale face and reported in an extremely low voice.
"What?" Ma Liufu's body shook and almost fell down the steps.
No wonder the housekeepers of each mansion were afraid of being unhappy. If Liu Shen’s glass lamp was only sold for two hangings, at this moment, he would spend a thousand times the price to sell glass to his master from Zhenbao Pavilion, and would not show his goodbye to Princess Taiping, but rub his master’s skin and Princess Taiping’s skin together and rub him on the ground. After that, even if his master was soft-hearted and let him go, Princess Taiping would not end up in a good way.
However, at this moment, the housekeepers of various governments who came to support the venue could withdraw, but the shopkeeper of Zhenbao Pavilion Ma Liufu could not. He gritted his teeth and stood firm. He was about to say a few words to stabilize the morale of the army. Suddenly, he found that a delivery cart filled with glass that had just walked out less than three hundred steps away began to walk in a drunken way on the road.
Immediately afterwards, a knife light flashed, and half of the wheel on the left was missing instantly. The heavy body tilted suddenly, "slamming", and all the glass lamps, glass ornaments, and glass jewelry inside were thrown on the bluestone floor.
In an instant, the broken glass reflected the sunlight, dazzling and dazzling!
………………………………………
"Crazy!" Princess Li Lingyue, the head of the town, waved her sword and slashed the lantern that was claimed to be worth three thousand. In an instant, the double-layer glass lamps shattered, and the large and small glass residues were shining by the sun, with dazzling colors. (Note: The name of Princess Taiping is not recorded in history, and Li Lingyue spreads rumors. This book respects the habits and continues to spread them.)
The maids who served her next to her were all silent. No one dared to come forward to persuade her, so as not to accidentally become the next target of the sword in her hand.
The princess in front of her not only looks like the late Queen Zetian, but also has the same temper, mind and character. When she is good to the people below, she can treat the other party as her biological daughter. And if anyone provokes her in anger, she will still kill her biological daughter.
"Crazy!" Just as the maids were so scared that their legs were weak, another glass peacock worth nearly 5,000 hangs was in trouble. Li Lingyue was killed and her "feathers" were splashed, and the skeleton was scattered.
Immediately afterwards, there were "Crash!" and "Crash!" several times. Glazed cups, glass high bottles, glass panes and other objects were all cut by swords. In the whole room, anyone who could have any connection with glass, including a bottle of big food perfume, could not be spared.
The broken glaze slag flew across the air, accidentally brushing the foreheads of the two maids, and blood flowed in an instant. However, the two unlucky maids still didn't dare to come out, standing there, like clay sculptures and wood sculptures.
"What are you doing when you are standing there? You won't clean up for me!" After all, he is already forty-four years old. After chopping more than twenty items related to glazed glass in a row, Princess Taiping Li Lingyue finally lost her strength. She poked the sword on the ground as a crutch, and roared at the maids with breathing.
"Yes!" The maids agreed in unison and ran out of the door quickly. Then, the broomsticks and the dustpans and the dustpans were held in a hurry and began to clean up the mess all over the ground. Two of them were injured by glass residue, and they also found an opportunity to secretly wash off the blood on their faces, use golden sore medicine to stop the bleeding, and then cover the wound with their hair to avoid being seen by Princess Taiping and causing unexpected disasters to herself.
This careful action saved their lives. When the two of them returned to the main hall with their dustpans for the last wave, they just saw that the princess of the country, Li Lingyue, pulled the sword out of a sister's lower abdomen.
"Why are you standing there? Drag the body out and buried it with Liuli Zhazi!" He didn't bother to explain the reason for his murder. Li Lingyue sneered and ordered the other maids, and his face, which had long been no longer young, was full of madness.
Her mother, Empress Zetian, once told her personally that the superiors could just let the subordinates obey their orders and there was no need to explain the reasons for their work to the subordinates. In this way, they could always maintain a sense of mystery and deterrence and always be above them.
Back then, she studied very seriously.
