Chapter 396 Chapter 392: Have you given up?
The matter between Baozhuanglou and the Tao family has made the capital lively for a while, and now Yancheng has become a new topic of conversation.
The noble lady in the capital can only sigh and burn down a granary. I am afraid that the life of the people of Yancheng will be difficult next year, so she can only sigh.
Yancheng is far away from the capital and does not pose any hindrance to the people in the capital.
However, the attitudes of the officials in the DPRK and the Central Government were completely opposite. Especially after the Prime Minister Zuo listened to his son's words, he felt that the matter in Yancheng was more complicated than he expected.
Involved in military affairs, the left minister wanted to invite the King of Zhenbei to a banquet to ask for advice. As a result, the King of Zhenbei said that he was ill and could not come out, so he closed his door and lived in recuperation.
He Lanyue was still training in the army, and others could not catch his shadow. He Lanyun became the target of everyone's inquiry. Unfortunately, Qin Guogong had already planned to send his mother and daughter-in-law to Zhuangzi when he saw that the situation was not good. It’s called autumn appreciation and it’s gone.
After listening to Zhang Maoquan's talk about the external affairs, Song Yunzhao felt that Qin Guogong was really an interesting person. It was He Lanyun's blessing to think so thoughtfully about He Lanyun.
Song Yunzhao has done everything she should do, and the next thing is a game in the court, which has nothing to do with her.
Involved in the army, the king of Zhenbei closed the door to thank guests. What does this mean? It means that he does not want to wade into troubled waters.
The water in the army is already deep. If you stretch out your foot, you may fall into it if you don't reach out.
Song Yunzhao thought about it again and again and wrote a letter to Feng Yi, mentioning the current situation in the capital from a side. The main purpose was to tell Feng Yi about someone targeting her father. The main purpose was to complain, supplemented by reminders. She then wrote the letter After reading it again, I felt that there were no omissions, so I sealed my mouth and asked Zhang Maoquan to be sent to Tai Chi Hall.
Feng Fu was sleeping soundly beside her. Yun Zhao glanced sideways at his son. Children grow up when they see the wind. This boy can eat, sleep, and be naughty. His small body also grows very fast. Now let him go to the imperial garden. Keep a close eye on people, and they will disappear soon.
Commonly known as letting go.
Since she could be quieter when she fell asleep, she reached out and tapped her son's face gently, and then started to get busy again.
The affairs of Baozhuang Building need to be taken up again, and the regulations on how to cooperate with the business in the south need to be rewritten.
Xie Jinshu came in with a letter and told him about the matter of raising food. Ling Yunhe played a lot of role in it, and also used this matter to control the Ling family. He used this trick very well.
Ling Yunhe expressed his sincerity, so Yun Zhao would naturally not break his promise and leave the cooperation with Baozhuang House to him. However, in order to avoid the recurrence of the last incident, the contract this time should be stricter.
She had left these matters to Feng Yunjin before, and this time she planned to let her continue to follow up.
The business of Baozhuanglou is getting better and better. I have to say that Wan Fei’s improved prescriptions are really useful. What woman doesn’t love beauty?
Even girls from ordinary people’s families are willing to save a few months’ money to buy a box of rouge as long as the price is acceptable. A box of rouge can last a long time if you use it sparingly.
Song Yunzhao also divided the business of Baozhu Tower this time. She wanted to hand it over to Xie Jinshu, but she couldn't follow the old path of the Ling family, so this time the business was given to Xie Jinshu alone, and it had nothing to do with the Xie family.
As for how Xie Jinshu divides the interests with the Xie family, that is what he should do.
Song Yunzhao had a lot of ideas. Concubine Shu was impatient with these trivial matters. Concubine Wan couldn't extricate herself from the incense. She called Feng Yunjin to discuss matters. After the general affairs with the Ling and Xie families were settled, she asked Wang Zhaorong, Han Jinyi and others to come. Lu Zhixue invited him to a small gathering.
Han Jinyi and Lu Zhixue have not been idle these days, because the business is very prosperous, so the workshop is also preparing to expand. The craftsmen are okay, but once the workshop expands, the land in front of them will not be enough. Either the surrounding workshops should be moved to make room for them, or they should move away. The two of them have been arguing with Fan Dexi over this matter.
Seeing Yun Zhao, Lu Zhixue didn't hold back his words and complained directly: "This Fan Dexi is simply indifferent. No matter what, he refuses to move the surrounding workshops, but he won't move out even if we want to. But I'm furious."
Han Jinyi has always had a good temper, and now she kept nodding in agreement with Lu Zhixue, which showed that she was really angry.
Wang Zhaorong added an example on the side, "Next to us is a toilet workshop, which is specially used to provide toilets for the palace. The place is not big, and the daily errands are not busy. It would not be a problem to move to another place, but Fan Dexi refused. It’s just that the place where the chickens, ducks, fish and geese are raised is not easy to move, and we won’t force it on others. What’s so difficult about this toilet workshop? He just won’t let go.”
Song Yunzhao was stunned for a moment and said, "Is there a workshop that specializes in making toilets?"
My eyes are opened.
"Of course there is. Everything that can be used in the palace will basically be prepared in the inner courtyard." Whether it is needed or not is not said, but it must be available.
Song Yunzhao understood the meaning of these words. No wonder the palace's annual expenses were so high. Is it not expensive to raise such an idle person?
“What does Manager Fan mean? Can he tell me?” Song Yunzhao asked.
Lu Zhixue became even more angry when he heard this, "If you open your mouth but cannot shut up, you are guilty. What can be done to him?"
This is the first time I have seen such a shameless person, and he is very voluptuous. If I ask him to deal with it, I will pretend to be a grandson.
“The imperial official is like a scoundrel, but we can’t do anything about him.” Han Jinyi sighed.
Song Yunzhao did not expect that things would encounter difficulties here. After Fan Dexi took office as the general manager, he did things according to the rules and refused to go too far. This was for fear of being caught and kicked out.
"Then let's wait for a while." Song Yunzhao guessed that the emperor was not in the capital, and Fan Dexi did not dare to make any decisions.
“But we can’t make so much rouge, what should we do at the shop?” Wang Zhaorong frowned.
Song Yunzhao thought about it and said slowly, "Wait until I ask before we talk. This matter can't be too urgent."
The workshop of the inner studio also wants to change, and the process has to be taken. Now the emperor is not there. Fan Dexi does not want to offend people and does not want to take this heart.
Song Yunzhao could understand that she had no friendship with Fan Dexi. He was a court official and her concubines could not do anything to him. So she used words to drag them away, and things would be solved naturally when the emperor returned to Beijing.
“Is there anyone else behind Fan Dexi who is instigating to deliberately embarrass us?” Lu Zhixue said suddenly.
Hearing this, Han Jinyi hesitated and said: "No way? After all, it is a matter in the inner courtyard. Who in the world would care about this?"
“Tao family, didn’t the Tao family lose face a few days ago?” The more Lu Zhixue talked about it, the more he thought it was possible. It would be difficult for others to interfere, but with the Queen Mother behind the Tao family, it would definitely be easy.
