Gong Chang went to the Wen Hua Palace to give lessons to the Emperor, and at the age of seventy, he became the emperor's tutor. Although he was not appointed as the assistant minister by the Former Emperor, he had a very important say and position in major political matters.
Zhu Yijun had once wanted to exempt him from such formalities, and Gong Chang Zai had said that formalities could not be wasted. This old official had also kept on reminding himself that he could not relax just because of His Majesty's kindness, and that the authority of the Emperor should not be neglected.
"If everyone is like teacher, I would be at ease even if I were to say 'bow down before you'." Zhu Yijun said.
What did Gong Chang say then? Oh, governing the country is like cooking a small fish, His Majesty can read more books on the law these days. Everyone has to be under His Majesty's control, and it is better to not have any preferences. Otherwise, it would be very easy for the taste of this little freshman to disappear.
After Gong Chang Zai finished bowing, the attendant came over and asked him to sit down. Gong Chang saw the lantern hanging by the window and said, "It seems that Your Majesty really likes this lamp?" This was a lanterns that bloomed during the night. It was not an ordinary lantern. But now, it was swaggering around in the position of the palace lamp, showing off its position as the owner's favorite.
"Teacher, what do you think of this word?" Zhu Yijun said.
Zhang Cheng carefully held up the lamp for Gong Chang Zai to appraise. Gong Chang was also someone who loved words, so after taking a closer look, he slapped his leg and said: "Good word."
"Like the flowing clouds and flowing water, his calligraphy is exquisite, and one can vaguely see the carefree movements of a dragon and a phoenix." Gong Chang said, "I don't know which master created this calligraphy piece, but I too would like to request some calligraphy."
"Not a master." Zhu Yijun said.
To be able to write such a character, how can he not be considered a master?" Gong Chang said, "There is a relationship between a master and fame, but not necessarily. "In this world, there are many unworthy masters. It's not like there are no famous masters.
"If teacher likes it, the next time I meet her, I'll ask for a word for teacher." Zhu Yijun said.
"Was it the person the emperor met when he was out of the palace?" Gong Chang asked.
"They say that I am the lord of the world, and that I am a king in this world. However, I am stuck in this Forbidden City and can't go anywhere. I would be taught a lesson even if I were to walk around the Imperial City."
"Your Majesty, it is as Your Majesty said. Your Majesty is the ruler of the world. Your Majesty can go anywhere in the world." Gong Chang said, "The chief assistant was worried because the king left the palace alone without telling anyone. He only brought two or three people with him and they are in danger."
Zhu Yijun was deep in thought. Then, if he brought along bodyguards Qi then he would have been able to go out patrolling? Once out of the palace is already out of the cage of birds, day and night want to go out again.
Madame Marquis Wu Qing came to the palace to see the empress dowager. "The young ladies of the Calm Market are all from small families. However, the second lady of the Wang family is the legendary second young lady whose lanterns were sold for three thousand taels of silver. Her beauty is truly outstanding."
"What is your character?" Empress Dowager Li asked.
"It's normal, but a bit petty." Marquis Wu Qing's wife said, "Perhaps it's because of Ol 'Two, I'm always a little dissatisfied with Eldest Brother's discipline. Fortunately, he's still obedient."
"As long as you can be obedient." The Empress Dowager Li said, "Since mother said that she is exceptionally beautiful, then let the selected eunuch take her name." As a mother, no matter how strict she was, she always thought of her son. Her son's backyard must have a few beautiful concubines.
Wang Yunhe was about to go out when he heard that a merchant ship from Quanzhou had arrived. She was holding onto her account book. The first month of the year had passed, and it was time for her to check the entrance and exit accounts for the new year. The girls had to learn to manage their own yard by the time they were twelve, and Wang Rong-chiao's burden was heavier, and the old lady had left her mother's dowry to herself early in the morning.
What a coincidence." Wang Rong said with a smile. She was holding an account on a tray. From the beginning, the account book had been made into a form according to her habit of looking at it. There was a date in front of her, a column of income, a column of expenses, and behind that, a note. "At least I didn't waste the basic accountancy of college.
Wang Rong He's income mainly came from her mother's dowry, which included the rent of the shop and the rent of the farmland. When Wang Rong He was in charge of her mother's dowry, she excitedly thought about doing business, so she had many good ideas, but she only met a few shopkeepers, so she asked a few questions to dispel this childish idea. Although the reputation of Imperial Guard's Wang Qianhu Residence was useful, but she was not sure if a young lady who had yet to leave the pavilion would be able to come up with something new, and if others came looking for her, they would cause more trouble for the Imperial Guard's Wang Qianhu Residence. In the end, even the shop her mother opened at that time was left behind by three of the best. The rest of the stores were all closed, and the funds for the event went back to buying land in the blink of an eye.
It's much simpler to spend money on people, especially sisters. Their relationships with each other are all small matters, and they treat their elders with filial piety on holidays and birthdays." In fact, Wang Rong was willing to give her elders some expensive gifts. After all, she was not lacking in money right now. However, her elders' respect for her preferred her handmade little items or writing words.
Besides the cash account, there was also a fixed asset account book. The old lady remembered that she needed a flower pot or something in her storehouse today, so she quickly went to ask if there was anything that she needed when spring came.
It wasn't that the Lady Cui didn't complain, but since the Old Granny's words stopped her, how could you treat the Eldest Girl, Second Girl, and Third Girl the same? You're worried about me even before I die?
In the end, the Lady Cui was scolded by Wang Wei.
The Zhang Clan did not keep all the spoils of war that Wang Wei had extorted from the bandits, they were sold off a little too. In the end, some of them ended up being sold off and had their cousins take care of them. In the days of the Former Emperor, the sea was forbidden, and His Majesty hadn't even activated his seal yet. As long as someone bought it, there would always be people willing to take the risk.
Although Wang Wei was promoted to Beijing later on, although Zhang Clan was already dead, Wang Wei still felt that this business still existed, and it was better to bring his wife and brother to Beijing to do it.
Wang Rong He was also surprised by her mother's dowry, but she didn't think much about it. However, he didn't know that his father had put some of the husband and wife's property into Zhang's dowry before her new wife entered the house, so that he could use it as her dowry in the future.
After Wang Rong and the manager of the store, the focus of the merchant ship's purchase overseas was changed from finished to semi-finished goods. Wang Rong and another craftsman, who came from overseas, had their precious fur processed and then sold again, at a much lower risk. Wang Rong didn't have a boat with her. Her uncle was now collecting seafood on the coast, and once he had collected enough, he would ship it to Beijing. Quanzhou had been the largest port of passage for goods from the west during the previous dynasty. Although it was no longer as prosperous as it had been when they went out to sea, it seemed to have become a tacit understanding.
If Quanzhou's boat entered the capital, then it meant that there was something new entering the capital.
"Is Second Miss in good health?" After tidying up the account book, Wang Rong asked. A few days ago, Wang Zhixi was a little cold, and she laid down sick for a few days. The second young lady was sick, and had a deep affection for her. Wang Rong He wanted to visit her, but after one visit, Wang Zhixi asked someone to tell him that they were afraid that she would pass the message to his big sister, so they did not invite him in. Could it be that Wang Rong was going to shut the door again and again? Thus, Wang Rong He also let the little girl go by to ask her if she was willing to go.
"It should be ready. I haven't smelled any medicine cooking smell for the past two days, but I still need to rest for a few more days, so I didn't go out." No disease.
"Then go and report this to Grandmother. I'll be out in the afternoon." Wang Rong She said.
Fortunately, her grandmother had been at Yu Yao when she was young, and the people had opened their doors to the public, allowing the young ladies to leave as well. Her grandmother knew Wang Rong's personality, and knew her rules and regulations, so she didn't make much of a fuss over her. After all, girls didn't have to be married off to have a few years of leisurely living at home.
Wang Rong was wearing men's clothing when she went out, she had once ridiculed the fact that the ancient men were simply stupid, they were brothers when they were dressed in men's clothes, you didn't see her drawing those fine eyebrows, those bulging breasts, that short, ah, that short man, not to mention that he was malnourished, that short man had many holes in his earlobes, which were also places that were often exposed.
Her skin was painted bronze, her ears were blocked with powder. Her eyebrows were drawn, her chest was tight with cloth, her boots were thickened to the base, and she was wearing a round collar. She turned around in front of the bronze mirror, threw back her hair band in satisfaction, and sang in a drawl, "I was a boy, not a pretty girl.
"If young lady goes out dressed in men's clothes and says that she's the Fourth Young Master of the Wang Qianhu of Imperial Guard, how would others believe her?" said the nurse.
The two girls both went there and dressed up as men. After going there a few times, they still had some experience in dressing up. Sometimes, they even discussed how they could be more like men.
The servant prepared the carriage and waited at the second door. When the wet nurse saw that no one was around, she waved her hand and quickly ran off with the little girl. They waited for the carriage to catch their breath before leaving.
Wang Rong's shop was on the Front Gate Street, and all of them belonged to her. The rest were rented out by her, and only one of them was left for her to change into a shop.
Black flat door surface, the golden paint writes the two words distant friends, with friends from far away meaning, indistinctly pointed out that I have far things. In the center of the room was a counter. There were curtains hanging on both sides of the counter. They went through the backyard on one side while going upstairs on the other.
The backyard was the warehouse and the top floor was the best quality goods.
The shopkeeper was his uncle's son, so when he saw Wang Rong He, he came up to her and introduced her to her. "Fourth Young Master is here." "Yesterday, the boat arrived. I had someone deliver the news that the Fourth Young Master is coming over today."
"My mother made crabs. Isn't this the way Fourth Young Master likes it? " The manager said.
"Then I'm going to eat to my heart's content today." Wang Rong said with a smile.
"This time, the boat even brought along some of Yu Yao's old flavors. When we leave, we'll bring them back and let Wang Qianhu and Old An have a taste of the old flavors." The shopkeeper said, "Originally, it should have been a new year, but unfortunately it was delayed."
"It's not too late." Wang Rong smiled and said, "It's the time after the new year when our stomachs are cleared. Since we can eat some of our hometown food, Grandmother and Father should be very happy."
The shopkeeper and Wang Rong were around the same age as their big brother, and they had two sons by their knees. He also had a younger sister, a year younger than Wang Rong and her brother.
The shopkeeper frowned, "Ruoyun, I've said it many times, when a young lady is in men's clothing, she has to be called Fourth Young Master."
"It's fine, there's no one else right now." Wang Rong smiled and said, "Let's talk in the backyard."
The new goods were already arranged in the warehouse according to the type. Ruoyun then gave her the booklet with the points, "This time, there aren't any special large gems, and there are still a few big customer orders that we didn't do."
"What about quality?" Wang Rong asked, "If there's no big one, use a few more to save a big one."
"There are people in the market who look like we have jewelry. Big Sis occasionally knocks on the blacksmith's door too." Ruoyun said. At that time, the ladies of the capital all thought that Xiyang Jewellery was too extravagant and extravagant. It was because of Wang Rong and the paintings, that Xiyang Jewelry was made into Jewellery according to the traditional aesthetic, thus opening the door to a new world.
It turned out that Yuan Tao's friends were the only ones who could show off their skills. Now, there were many similar types of jewelry on the market.
"There's no way to avoid this." Wang Rong He said, "We won't be doing low-end stuff from now on. We'll just do high-end customized ones."
