Chapter 1180 Chapter 1180: Layout and closing the network (Part 1) [Requesting monthly votes]
An Guang had little effect, which taught Shen Tang a lesson.
She adjusted her marketing strategy in a timely manner, changing from dark and broad to bright and broad, and as bright as possible. A few days after the Ming Dynasty discovered that Cui Zhi's hand was passed down by famous ministers and celebrities, he saw a string of sparkling diamond bracelets in Cui Hui's hand. His personality is reserved and unassuming, and he prefers warm jade over precious stones for accessories. Decorations with sharp edges and strong reflections like diamonds are basically not his cup of tea.
Even indoors, it can make other jewelry look dim.
Cui Zhi felt that this thing looked familiar.
After thinking about it carefully, I remembered that this thing appeared in the portraits of famous ministers and celebrities in the Kang Dynasty. Just the right amount of embellishment without being overwhelming. Judging from the portraits, this thing seems to be extremely popular among Kangguo officials. Cui Zhi's first reaction was to pray for good things! The Qi Shan in the portrait, both in appearance and temperament, was what Cui Hui liked when he was young.
Well, it was also the norm when Cui Zhi was young.
However, doesn’t Kewu dislike this kind of gentle scholar?
Seeing that Cui Hui couldn't put it down for this strange bracelet, he didn't even come back to his senses when he came over. Cui Zhi put his hands in his sleeves and leaned against the door and waited for a long time. He would see when Cui Hui would notice that there were more people around him. Waiting and waiting, he was completely ignored.
With no choice but to knock on the door.
Make some noise to draw someone's attention back.
In fact, Cui Hui discovered it when Cui Zhi just arrived. She just wanted to see how patient this man could be. With just a little trick, Cui Zhi showed his flaws. Cui Hui put down the bracelet leisurely, not caring that Cui Zhi would think wrongly.
Hmm, she was also afraid that the other party would not want to be wrong.
Cui Zhi came in and chatted a few words. Seeing that Cui Hui had no intention of mentioning the bracelet, Cui Zhi could only take the initiative to change the subject.
“Why haven’t I seen this in your dowry before?”
Cui Hui just smiled a little.
She said: "I just received it too. It was a gift from an old friend."
Without looking at Cui Zhi's suddenly darkened face, Cui Hui said with a smile: "Well, that's the old friend you were thinking of. He sent someone to ask me how my days were, and if it was any inconvenience, he also gave me a few small gifts. These things are said to be liked by the nobles in Kang State. He got some by chance and had them made and given to me. "
Cui Zhi: "...This object was painted together with Qi Yuanliang. He gave you such an important thing, but he had different intentions!"
Cui Hui was puzzled: "What goes into the painting together?"
He took out the biographies of famous ministers and celebrities that he had obtained through his connections.
As the head of the Cui family who is not short of money, he is also the head of the Southwest Branch. Although the version he got is not a collector's edition, it is also a hardcover edition, and the production is much more sophisticated than ordinary ones. Of course, the price will be more expensive. As soon as Cui Hui opened it, his pupils suddenly shrank.
This is the first time that a gift feels hot to my hands.
Nearly thought Qi Yuanliang was really pretending.
Soon he calmed down again and vaguely guessed something.
Cui Hui's reaction was not mixed with any water, but it also made Cui Zhi feel even more sad. Cui Hui rolled the scroll back: "Don't say it's just similar. Even if it's the same, it doesn't mean anything. I heard that this thing was given by Lord Shen to meritorious ministers to show that the relationship between monarch and minister is firm. Such an object does not represent the relationship between men and women. Affection. "
This explanation is a bit far-fetched.
But there was a vague intention of showing kindness to Cui Zhi.
Cui Zhi's sour taste was suppressed in a few words, and he said: "You rarely paid attention to these gorgeous things in the past."
Cui Hui put the bracelet on his wrist, which matched his skin tone.
She explained casually: "It was in the past, and you don't know what my situation is. One or two more hairpin rings and jade pendants may cause criticism. They said that I was extremely luxurious as soon as I married into a high family. My husband was an elegant gentleman, and my wife followed He is like a shabby man who has never seen anything good in his life. He puts everything on his head and wears it on his body, just like a prostitute walking around the streets. How can I say that I like it? If I go out in the world. Showing off, doesn’t it tell the little thief to come and take care of you?”
Cui Zhi likes to be reserved, so he can only follow his husband and his wife.
"I am not your wife now, nor am I the mistress of the Cui family. Let alone just like one or two things. Even if I wear them all over my body, outsiders can't care about them." As she said something, she suddenly thought of something and put the things in her arms. Sai, "Including you!"
You don’t live by the sea, so you have such a lenient policy?
That afternoon, Cui Zhi had two boxes delivered.
Cui Hui picked and picked and curled his lips: "Tacky things."
Cui Xiong bravely said good things to his old mother: "My father had people carefully select them from the warehouse, and they are all treasures."
There is absolutely nothing to say about the craft materials.
Cui Huidao: "There is a backlog of old items in the warehouse."
Cui Xiong: "Not..."
Cui Hui had more to say: "If it is a backlog of old items, it is an outdated style, and I don't know how many hands it has changed in the hands of several women named Cui and Cui's wife. If it is not a backlog of old items, it is Made in recent years. Didn’t Cui Zhishan tell the public that he didn’t have a serious mistress around him? I told the public that I didn’t like luxurious things, so who would I leave to him to make the latest styles?”
Cui Xiong: “…”
No matter how you answer, it will lead to a dead end.
Cui Xiong hugged his head in despair and envied Ermi who ran away from home. Ermi is enjoying life outside, but he is caught between his parents and is the one receiving the blame. The mother is dissatisfied, and the father cannot do anything. Frustrated, he looked for solutions from his fiancée.
Miao Na didn't expect that this matter would cause trouble to him, so he helplessly pointed out Daxiong Mijin: "It's not the right time, the Cui family master will not let people open the warehouse to give gifts for no reason, it must be something that wakes him up or stimulates him... You might as well Ask around?"
Cui Xiong suddenly became enlightened.
After some inquiring, the source is the diamond bracelet.
Miao Na's face was not red and his heart was not beating: "I was serving the Lord before me. I saw a biography of famous ministers and celebrities from the Kingdom of Kang. It is said that the King of Kang's court highly sought after this product because of its texture. To show the love between the king and his ministers, it may have something to do with it.”
“Isn’t that the feeling between a monarch and his subjects?”
What is the relationship between father and mother and the monarch and his ministers?
Miao Na immediately retorted: "Gentlemen like jade and often use jade to describe themselves. Doesn't it also affect men and women to use jade to express their love?"
Cui Xiong thought that this statement made sense.
I went back to inquire and found out that my mother really liked diamond-textured accessories. This kind of thing is rare not only in the Southwest Qi Kingdom, but also in the entire Southwest Continent. Even if you find a rough diamond, there will be more or less impurities in it, and it will not be as clean and clear as the diamond in your mother’s hand. Cui Xiong could only go to the merchants who came from Kang State in the northwest and inquired for several times before he got any news.
Good news, it’s in stock.
Bad news, have to wait!
Cui Xiong was relieved when he heard this.
Which of the heads and sides of the big lady in the high gate, which set period is not a year and a half? Those who don’t want to wait can use cash to jump in line and shorten their advance time. A top embroiderer can complete a Guanyin statue in a year. If the money continues, if ten top embroiderers work together, it can be completed in forty to fifty days. Cui has money!
The most important thing is that mother will like it.
Cui Xiong said: "May and June are too long."
He pointed his finger on the table: "This amount will be needed in ten days. You don't have to rush to say no, I have seen a lot of the tricks of you merchants. If I can do this, I will find someone who can. Opportunity It’s up to you, it’s up to you!”
The merchant did not expect Cui Xiong's attitude to be so tough.
“Ten days will be ten days, the common people will try their best!”
“It’s not about trying your best, it’s about doing it!” The merchant kept smiling: “It’s going to happen!”
There are natural diamonds on the market, but their uses are extremely narrow. Most of them are just cutting aids in the hands of craftsmen. With the size, purity and appearance mentioned in the biography of famous ministers and celebrities, there is no substitute at all except Kang Guo. The diamonds in Kangguo also have colors, and each one can make people look away.
This businessman saw business opportunities from the biographies of famous ministers and celebrities, and heard some rumors through his connections. He felt that this item would be sought after by celebrities and ladies in the future, so he bought a lot of it and ate it. I never expected that business would come to my door, and I was so happy that I couldn't see it.
When the tenth day came, Cui Xiong gave his mother a surprise.
Not only did the mother have a share, but she also sent a share to Miao Ne.
A bowl of water is held flat.
Miao Ne served the king's side during the day and deliberately exposed it.
This exquisite and beautiful thing quickly attracted the attention of the king. She asked casually, and Miao Ne said: "It was Cui Langjun who sent it yesterday. After all, it is his heart and cannot be wasted. Your Highness, But is it too ostentatious for me to wear this thing?”
Miao Na was frightened and frightened.
The king shook his head: "Girls all like to be beautiful. There is nothing wrong with that. People, if you don't dress yourself up while you are still young, how long will it take for you to have a goose-skinned hair? Cui Dalang is just interested in you. Gu Yuan still has I'm worried that the marriage will make you two unhappy. It will make you happy."
These words are 70% hypocritical and 30% sincere.
Miao Ne has been by his side for the past two months, and everything has been in line with his wishes. The little girl is very talented, takes things seriously, and knows exactly what she wants. She is still the niece of her boyfriend. She is half of her own. She cannot escape the presence of the palm of her hand, and she feels safe using it. After getting along with each other, I became more and more satisfied.
Miao Na said: "As the king of the country, as the destined emperor, the marriage given by Jingguoyu is God's destiny. How can it be unsatisfactory?"
The king sneered: "Son of Heaven? God is very capable of giving birth to children."
Her marriage to Cui Zhi was also granted by the king.
Miao Ne responded calmly and calmly.
“The destiny of heaven is false, and so is the Son of Heaven.”
The king knew in his heart that these were Miao's flattery words, and the flattery was polite and decent, but it was pleasant to the ears.
The king waved his hand: "Wear it, I'll like it."
Grogger Miao Ne respectfully presented another gift.
Cui Xiong sent a batch of diamond jewelry, which was the most complex in craftsmanship and most in line with the emperor's aesthetics. The emperor did not like to use things that others had used: "Are you using Cui Dalang to borrow flowers to offer to Buddha?"
Miao Ne said sincerely: "Your Highness is so beautiful that if you are not in the prime of your youth, how can I do your job? Even if I force myself to dress up, I will look like a clown when I serve you."
The king was so amused that he laughed heartily and was not unhappy at all. She laughed so hard that she almost couldn't breathe: "You, who taught you these sweet words? If the stubborn old guys at Yushitai listened, your memorial will be piled up on my desk tomorrow."
Miao Na said: "It is the duty of a minister to make you show your face."
“Aren’t all your honest words of advice offensive to your ears?”
Words that can make people look good have basically nothing to do with "loyal advice".
Miao Na shook his head and said: "If His Highness neglects his duties, the loyal words of his ministers will naturally make you unhappy. However, His Highness has worked hard over the years and has achieved such great achievements. The so-called 'loyal words' are what His Highness has always practiced. Why would it make people unhappy?" Not happy?"
The king was amused and laughed heartily again.
Even her male favorite was honored and was given the opportunity to sleep with him for a few days.
The next day, she put on the diamond jewelry.
Due to the influence of the number of people and the weather, the court meetings were not always held inside the palace, but occasionally outside the palace. Just as God was doing something beautiful, many ministers noticed this thing, and Mei Meng was no exception. Other ministers speculated about the king's preference, while Mei Meng wondered who gave it to him.
After the dynasty dispersed, many ministers went to inquire about it.
Mei Meng asked directly to the principal.
The king of the country smiled and talked about the twists and turns of this thing.
Miao Na did not hide anything, and explained the source of the incident - Cui Zhi and his wife were jealous of the diamond bracelet and had a conflict, and then Cui Zhi opened the warehouse and was rejected by his ex-wife, and the two sons had to find a way to reconcile both sides. Miao Ne and the ruler benefited indirectly.
Mei Meng said: "This thing is very expensive."
The head of the country was mentally prepared for this, but as the head of a country, she couldn't afford anything expensive: "It's just a foil. Is it worthy of being called 'expensive' by your beloved? If you like it, come back alone." I’ll collect a box for you too.”
That's not what Mei Meng cares about.
“I have asked about this thing, and it is only found in the northwest.”
The king instantly understood Mei Meng's hint and asked in surprise: "But this is not a diamond? There is a saying among craftsmen that without that diamond, you can't do the porcelain work? This shows that it is not unique to the northwest. Small objects can be dug out How much money is empty?”
New things don’t last long.
Diamond also had no cultural foundation among scholars and could not challenge the status of jade. As for those noble ladies who like this today and that tomorrow, they cannot last forever.
"Ai Qing, this is unfounded worry. Being alone for a few days is also the intention of all juniors. How can there be any future troubles like Ai Qing?"
Hearing this, Mei Meng also felt that she was thinking too much.
I never expected that this thing would become an evergreen tree.
Not long after, the news that the leader of Qi State also liked diamond jewelry was spread by merchants. It was spread to ten people and hundreds of people. The celebrities and ladies in Qi State took notice of the news. The former cares about the diamonds to show the firm friendship between the king and his subjects, while the latter cares about the beauty of the diamonds and the title of "the same style as the king". Businessmen got involved in the hype, and celebrities who were secretly bribed unintentionally became promoters, and the popularity gradually increased.
Cui Zhi, the master of absenteeism who hasn’t done anything in two months: “???”
It is rare to go to Dianmao, and the small accessories on colleagues are shiny; when I go to visit friends, they give him diamonds in person to show their firm friendship. Asked again, celebrities have long started to give this thing to each other.
Three visiting friends received three diamond gifts.
Cui Zhi went home and took a sip of tea to calm down.
A message from a confidant——
The meat bun that he beat the dog three or four months ago will never come back.
Cui Zhi: “???”
He thought for a moment that his ears had misheard.
“What do you mean you can’t come back?”
“That is to say, he took refuge in Mr. Erlang.”
Cui Zhi rubbed his forehead and kept thinking about Rou Baozi... ah, no, the letters that the man delivered five times while he was sent out. I promised to come back in one month, but it was delayed for another half month. The half-month period has arrived, and the man said that he would not come back for another month... Today was delayed until tomorrow, and tomorrow was delayed until the day after tomorrow. In the end, no one came back. Cui Zhi held back his anger: "Why did you take refuge in Ermi? I think it was because of Shen Zhongli... This guy is just like her master, he is used to bewitching people..."
The black arena is forced to work illegally and still have feelings?
Isn’t this outrageous?
