Chapter 317
Fortunately, Song Jiyun rushed to the manufacturing office.
Mr. Liu was about to send someone to call her.
When he saw her, Mr. Liu seemed to have seen a life-saving straw and rushed forward to meet her.
"You're finally here!" He wiped the sweat from his face and said, "I didn't want to disturb you at first, but just now the palace sent someone to deliver an order, asking you to help burn two sets of tea sets made of tangle of flowers. For the new blue and white plum vase, an overglaze hanging screen, and two Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva."
Song Jiyun was stunned and said: "Who are the noble people who want it? Are there any specific requirements?"
As long as it is a flower, it can be painted as a tangled flower, and there are thousands of varieties of flowers. How can she burn them without specifying specific requirements?
Mr. Liu hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes."
As he spoke, he took Song Jiyun into the study next to the hall, took out a list from the desk and handed it to her.
The list stated that the flowers on the branches should be crabapples and hostas, the plum vase should have lotus patterns and eight treasure patterns, and the hanging screen should be plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums.
Mr. Liu stood beside her and said, "Concubine Chen wants this begonia flower tea set and plum vase with lotus pattern. Concubine Jing wants this hosta flower tea set. Concubine Xian wants this plum vase with eight treasure pattern and one of the statues of Guanyin Bodhisattva. The other statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva is wanted by Concubine Fan."
Song Jiuyun was a little confused.
Although she intended to promote her porcelain, her reputation was lost without doing anything even though she was surrounded by palaces.
She asked Mr. Liu: "When will this order be required? Do I need to go to the palace to express my gratitude? You said before that the queen wanted to see me. Has the palace made regulations?"
"Look at my memory." Mr. Liu patted his forehead when he heard this and said with a smile, "The things on this list are said to be delivered to the palace before the Mid-Autumn Festival. As for whether to go to express gratitude, wait until you meet the Queen. . This list was brought over by the young eunuch in the Queen's Palace, and he obviously passed the Queen's way. When you enter the palace, you can ask the Queen what she wants."
He also told her: "You will enter the palace in three days. However, I don't know if the queen doesn't know that you have entered the palace. The palace has also arranged for a tutor to come over tomorrow and teach you the rules."
After he finished speaking, he said with profound meaning: "If you feel that there is no need to learn the rules, you can tell the people at Zhaode Palace."
Zhaode Palace is where Concubine Wan Gui lives. He doesn't think he has any friendship with Concubine Wan Gui, right?
Not to mention that the relationship in the palace is so complicated.
She smiled and said: "Since it is the Queen's arrangement, I will definitely arrive early in the morning. I just don't know where I want to learn the rules? When is the appropriate time to arrive tomorrow?"
When Mr. Liu saw that she didn't answer, a little disappointment flashed in his eyes, but his attitude was still very gentle and he said: "It's at the building office. But the palace gate opens at Mao, so we have to arrive at the same time anyway. You hurry up before this time. Just arrive.”
Song Jiuyun responded.
Mr. Liu then smiled and said, "I haven't congratulated you on being selected by the Empress Dowager!"
As he spoke, he bowed his hands towards Song Jiuyun, said "congratulations" several times in a formal manner, and said: "I've long heard that your things are well done, but I didn't expect that the palace would make an exception as soon as you made the move. It's okay to look left. , just look at it and choose eighteen pictures." He also said with emotion, "It is true that heroes emerge from youth. The palace chose a total of twenty-four pictures, and the other six were painted by Ji Shuanghu of the Ji family. Dehua The Deng family didn’t choose any of them.”
Song Jiyun did not comment on the Deng family. He praised Ji Shuanghu a few times and was polite to Mr. Liu before he stood up and left: "Please forgive me, sir. I have taken on so many errands at once. I am inevitably very anxious and want to go early." Go back and finalize the pattern. Please forgive me for any rudeness."
"It should, it should." Mr. Liu stood up with a smile. Thinking that it was getting late and he had to go to the office, he simply sent Song Jiyun out.
"Remember to come here tomorrow, don't forget it." He stood at the gate and waited for the sedan, and warned him, "If you meet that nanny with a bad temper, she likes to find faults, and she will sue you after she goes back, what else can you do? Be more respectful to them and prepare a few more red envelopes.”
Song Jiyun thanked him for his kindness and got into the carriage.
But when the car curtain was raised, he saw a heroic profile.
He couldn't help but blink.
If he read it correctly, that was Yuan Yunzhong, right?
Mr. Liu couldn't help but walked out of the gate, took a few steps forward, stood on tiptoes and stretched his neck to look at the carriage.
Ordinary blue coarse cloth tents, black painted carriages abound on the street.
Instead, his entourage directed the sedan bearer to stop the sedan in front of him and said, "Master, what are you looking at?"
"Yeah!" Mr. Liu withdrew his gaze sternly and said, "The carriage in front of me looks familiar."
Unexpectedly, the attendant said: "That is the carriage of Mr. Wang, the official minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. In the past, when his son-in-law lived nearby, he often passed by us."
Mr. Liu was dumbfounded: "You, how do you know that is Mr. Wang's carriage?"
The attendant said disapprovingly: "I saw that you hadn't come out at this time, so I ran over to take a look. I saw the carriage parked at the door. I felt that the door was blocked, so I thought about going forward and asking them to move to a place to avoid your sedan. It’s hard to come out. Who knew that Mr. Yuan from Zhan Shifu was actually sitting in that carriage, so I didn’t say anything.”
There are six Yuan lords in the Yuan family, big and small. Unless the yamen where they serve are clearly stated, it is impossible to know which Yuan lord they are.
Master Liu stamped his feet and said, "Why don't you go and tell me quietly."
No matter what happens to Mr. Song and Mr. Yuan in the end, who knows if they can use this opportunity to talk to each other in the future.
The entourage was stunned.
Lord Liu asked: "Tomorrow you will squat here for me. If that Lord Yuan comes over again, just go and tell me quietly."
"Yes!" the attendant responded, squatting in the concierge early the next day, but the carriage dropped off a woman at the door, stopped for a while and then left.
He went to tell Mr. Liu.
Master Liu frowned and said, "How long has the carriage been parked at the door?"
Hearing his tone, the attendant seemed to be blaming him for his incompetence in doing things, and said hurriedly: "I originally wanted to come forward and say hello to the coachman even if I didn't say your name, sir, but the young lady who came in just now was standing there. In front of the carriage, I have been talking to Mr. Yuan, and it’s hard for me to go over. When I want to go over, the carriage has already left."
Master Liu said: "Have you been talking for a long time?"
The attendant was a little embarrassed and said: "As soon as the little lady turned around, Lord Yuan took her hand. As soon as the little lady turned around, Lord Yuan took the little lady's hand. It was the little lady who said it was getting late. Yuan The Lord was still reluctant to let go, so the young lady pushed Lord Yuan into the carriage, and only entered after watching the carriage go away."
Lord Liu touched his chin and said, "Keep squatting at the door for me. When Lord Yuan comes, call me."
Maybe he will come to pick up Mrs. Song.
He also sent people to guard outside the wing where Song Jiyun learned the rules - he had no way to find out when the nanny would return to the palace, so he could only guard her.
