False eunuch in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 69

"Ah."

Cao Qing held Zhang Yan's buttocks with one hand, and this guy also habitually squeezed the soft body of Zhang Yan's buttocks.It wasn't until he reacted that he realized that this advantage was taken too boldly.

"Your Majesty, where did you fall?" Cao Qing asked with great concern, and then released Zhang Yan calmly.

Zhang Yan blushed, just now she inadvertently exclaimed, how could she have thought that Cao Qing would be so bold and dare to take advantage of her.Unfortunately, she could only eat it abruptly.Otherwise, it would be a loss of face for her to make a fuss.He scolded "dead eunuch" in his heart.But after thinking about it, this guy is a eunuch anyway, so he can't do anything to himself.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with this eunuch?" This Zhu Huiti can't speak more than his head, if this word gets out, people will think that the little eunuch is fighting with Queen Zhang.

"It's okay, it's okay. It's just that I almost fell down. Thanks to Eunuch Cao's quick hands, he held me up." Zhang Yan really gritted her teeth so hard that the little eunuch took advantage of it, and she had to thank him superficially.What kind of world is this.

Cao Qing was thick-skinned anyway, and said with a smile: "This is also because of the deep blessing of the empress, and there are gods protecting her wherever she goes."

Zhu Huiti's attention was quickly attracted by the big mirror, and she didn't pay attention to the weird expressions on Zhang Yan and Cao Qing's faces, "Hey, what kind of bronze mirror is this? Why is it so bright?"

Although the bronze mirrors used in that era can barely illuminate, the images inside are somewhat blurred and cannot be seen very clearly.But the person outside the mirror is exactly the same as the person inside the mirror.If I didn't look carefully, I thought there were two queens Zhang.This Zhu Huiti also looked in the mirror. Although she was taken aback, she soon realized that it was a mirror.

"This is the rare thing I want to invite the empress and the princess to see. This is the glazed mirror made by Liulichang with great effort. It is about to be sent to the palace." Cao Qing said.

"Is this going to be sent to the palace?" Zhu Huiti asked.

Cao Qing nodded: "This kind of treasure is naturally only worthy of being owned by the palace."

"That's great. I'll send this glazed mirror to my bedroom in the future." Zhu Huiti said without thinking.

"Does this glazed mirror only have one side?" Zhang Yan asked.

Cao Qing nodded: "Such a large shape is costly to make, and it is not easy to make. I dare not make too many. Only if the emperor orders it to be made, will I dare to build it. In the future, Liulipu will also sell glazed mirrors. But the specifications naturally dare not compare with Compared with this one. If Queen Zhang and the princess want it, I can build a few more sides and send them to the palace."

"Eunuch Cao's kindness is accepted by me. Since the glazed mirror is so precious, how dare we want it. Now the emperor is strict in thrift, and the royal family naturally has to share the emperor's worries. Don't mention this again." Zhang Yan said firmly .

Zhu Huiti also wanted it very much, but seeing Zhang Yan's resolute refusal, it was hard to ask for it.This sister-in-law of the emperor looks weak, but she doesn't drag her feet when she does things.

"The scale can't be expanded now. When the scale expands in the future, it will be easier to make this kind of glazed mirror. At that time, we will definitely make up better glazed mirrors for the empress and princess. How?" Cao Qing said.

That Zhang Yan actually loved the glazed mirror very much in her heart, but she was worried about being gossiped about.Now that Cao Qing gave her a step down, naturally he didn't object anymore: "In this case, I will worry Eunuch Cao."

"Serving the empress and the princess is the blessing of a villain." Cao Qing had been at the bottom of society in his previous life, and his face has long been cultivated into armor.

"You are quite interesting, little eunuch." Zhu Huiti suddenly felt that the little eunuch looked more and more pleasing to the eye. This guy was different from those echoes in the palace. He not only had his own temper, but also knew how to please people.

Cao Qing touched Zhang Yan's embarrassing part. Although she still felt that Cao Qing was a bit hateful, she also felt that this guy was a bit inexplicable.

"The big mirror is difficult to make, but the small mirror is extremely simple. A batch of dressing glass mirrors have been made here, and the empress and princess can choose their own favorites." Cao Qing pointed to the various mirrors placed in another place. Mirror.Although the craftsmanship of glazed mirrors is much rougher than that of later generations, the wooden frame inlaid with glazed mirrors is full of charm.It is even more exquisite than the various mirrors of later generations.After all, how can industrialized products be more exquisite than handmade crafts?On the wooden frame, carved dragons and painted phoenixes, could it be lifelike.The craftsmanship of those craftsmen is really amazing.

"Wow! That's great." Zhu Huiti grabbed this one to take a photo, and picked up that one for comparison.It seems that each mirror is more exquisite than the other, and these mirrors are all handmade, so none of the carvings on them are the same.It is even more limited edition than the limited edition of later generations.

Although Zhang Yan's performance was much better than Zhu Huiti's, her heart was pounding when she picked up the exquisite glass mirror.

"Little eunuch, what do you think of me in the mirror?" Zhu Huiti asked.

"Princess, the one in the mirror is not a human being." Cao Qing said.

"Looking for a fight! How did you talk? When you look in the mirror, there is no one in there." Zhu Huiti immediately raised her brows, threatening to yell and take Cao Qing down.

"Princess, listen to me. I mean it's a fairy descending to the mortal world." Cao Qing said calmly.

"Puff!" Even Zhang Yandou couldn't help laughing.

Zhu Huiti also smiled sweetly, and gave Cao Qing a flirtatious look: "Bold, dare to tease this princess, find a fight! Not enough to write it down for now. I will punish you together later. Can I take all these mirrors away?" ?”

"Of course, if the princess likes it, she can take as much as she wants." Cao Qing said.

"No." Zhang Yan quickly stopped, "This glazed mirror is so exquisite, it must not be cheap. Huiti, if you really like it, you can take one or two, and don't take more."

"Okay. I originally wanted to take a few back to give to my sisters." Zhu Huiti said.

"This glazed mirror is fragile. The princess can't take it with her if she has too many. At that time, I will send a batch to the palace, and all the empresses and princesses in the palace will have a share." Cao Qing said.

"In that case, I'll choose these two. Oh no, I'll change to that one. Oh no, it's that one." It's extremely difficult for a spoiled princess like Zhu Huiti to choose.

Zhang Yan seemed to have chosen it arbitrarily, so she didn't look at other styles again, as if she was afraid of falling in love with it and was reluctant to let it go.Watson saw it, but didn't speak.

Since Cao Qing rescued the three sisters from the White Lotus Sect last time, their relationship with Cao Qing has become much closer.Anyway, Cao Qing is also a eunuch, so he directly treats Cao Qing as a sister.

"Where's Mr. Cao? Are you in the factory?" Xing Xiuniang asked the guard of the steel factory carelessly as soon as she came up.He didn't notice at all that there were several times more guards at the gate of the steel factory than usual, and they were all heavily armed.The door is also closed.

"Miss Xing, my lord has something to do today, so it's inconvenient to see guests. Miss, you should go back first. Come back another day." said Xiaoqi Deng Maoqi, who was in charge of guarding the gate.

"You didn't go in and report to your lord. How do you know that your lord is inconvenient to see visitors? You are so bold! Could it be that you can replace your lord Cao?" Hongniang Xing saw something was wrong, but she let her try to break it. I don't know that the iron and steel plant turned out to be a big shot.

"Miss Xing, you'd better go. My lord is really busy." Deng Maoqi was very embarrassed. The Queen's visit was highly confidential, how dare he say it?But the three sisters of the Xing family are good friends of Cao Qing, and he can't afford to mess with them.

Xing Yuanyuan is the most gentle and gracious of the three sisters, seeing Deng Maoqi in such a difficult situation, she knew there must be some reason for him.So he asked softly: "Is your lord unable to get away from some important matters right now?"

"That's right. My lord has very important things to do now. I can't get away. I have already ordered us to keep a strict guard and not let anyone in." Deng Maoqi said with a sigh of relief.

But Xing Xiuniang refused to give up: "That's because your lord didn't know we were coming. If he knew we were coming, he would definitely let us in. We won't make things difficult for you. You should report to your lord quickly. Just say we are coming. If you don't go, I will let your adults punish you in the future."

Xing Hongniang reined in the horse and turned around on the spot, and said: "You go and report. I won't make things difficult for you."

Deng Maoqi had no choice but at least knocked a few times on the iron door, which opened a hole.

"Master Deng, what's the matter?" the guard inside asked.

Deng Maoqi muttered a few times inside, and the soldier closed the small opening again.

This time, Hongniang Xing was even more surprised: "What kind of tricks are you doing today? Why are you so mysterious? Could it be that some rogues have come here?"

Deng Maoqi said in embarrassment: "Miss Xing, I really can't say it. If I say it, I will kill my head."

Xing Hongniang was very weird, she didn't understand what would make Deng Maoqi so nervous, "Is it related to the commotion at Shijingshan yesterday?"

Deng Maoqi was a little embarrassed, but he still said: "It has something to do with it. Yesterday, our guard battalion got involved with the White Lotus Sect, but today's matter is more important than that. Ladies and gentlemen, we think you should go back first. When my lord is free some other day, he will definitely come back to your house to find you."

"You big fool, since you know us, you know that our Xing family is not a bad person. Even if there is any big event in this factory, what does it matter? You are hemming and hawing, which makes people suspicious. Could it be that you The soldiers rebelled and tied up Mr. Cao. If so, we will go back and report to my father immediately. We must lead our troops to calm you down." Xing Hongniang said.

Deng Maoqi couldn't breathe under such a big hat.

"Don't talk nonsense. Our guard battalion is loyal to Mr. Cao. How could we do such a rebellious thing? It's just that Mr. Cao has something important to do. You can't show up to greet the ladies. He will come to make amends in the future." Deng Mao Seven said.
