Enter the Room

  Chapter 105

  Song Jiyun stepped straight out of the side door of the palace.

  The red lanterns hanging under the eaves shone on the bluestone steps, glowing with oily light clusters.

   Zheng Quan, who had been waiting outside the door, rushed forward to greet her, and said in a low voice, "Miss, what did Master Wang say?"

  Song Jiyun blinked and waved the red and gold invitation card in his hand, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth: "It's done!"

  Zheng Quan let out a long breath, followed by a smile in his eyes, lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, and helped Song Jiyun get on the sedan chair.

  In the flower hall of the palace, the lights were brightly lit, and the shadows of the trees danced through the white Goryeo paper.

Mrs. Wang quickly walked out from behind the screen embroidered with chicken wings and silk, and she said anxiously, "Master, what does Miss Song's family mean by this? Why did you give her an invitation so easily? If Mr. Wen and the others find out, will they think that you are partial to the Song family? Will it hurt your reputation?"

  Master Wang shook his head lightly, without speaking, but walked to the coffee table, picked up the plum vase made of jade clay left by Song Jiyun, and looked carefully at the floor lamp.

  Mrs. Wang couldn't help but also set her gaze on the long-necked plum vase.

  Delicate glaze, graceful slender neck, looks extraordinarily quiet and elegant under the light.

  She lost her voice: "This, isn't this the tribute porcelain that the Song family fired for the Imperial Kiln Factory?"

   Master Wang looked up with a smile and asked her, "How much do you think this plum vase can sell for?"

  The patterns of the Royal Kiln Factory are all used by the royal family, and others cannot use them at all.

   Mrs. Wang was about to speak, but found that the body of the plum vase was as clean as paper, without any tricks.

  As the saying goes, you can rely on mountains to eat mountains, and rely on water to eat water. They are from Liang County, relying on Jingdezhen, who doesn't do some porcelain business.

  She felt hot in her heart, she couldn't help lowering her voice, and said, "What does the master mean?"

Master Wang said with a smile: "The Song family fired new sacrificial white porcelain. The old craftsmanship must not be used in the imperial kiln factory. This Wan Gonggong is going back to the capital again. Mr. Jiang is just here. Lianliang County I can't see what it looks like, and the Song family doesn't have a male heir to support the family..."

   Just before everyone reacted, he joined forces with the Song family to do this white porcelain business.

  Mrs. Wang felt hot when she thought about it, and said, "Not only has I helped the Song family, but it can also provide a line for relatives and friends at home."

  According to the law, this official family is not allowed to do business.

  The business of the Wang family is all under the name of relatives.

  Master Wang nodded appreciatively, and said, "Mrs. Lao and the Song family have to talk about this matter."

Mrs. Wang answered "yes" with a smile on her face, and her mind turned quickly: "It's the second half of the year. If the arrangements are made properly, a batch of goods can be shipped on the first day of October and the Spring Festival. I will tomorrow, no, tomorrow Song My eldest daughter is going to attend the flower viewing banquet in Wensi Building, I will go the day after tomorrow."

   Master Wang stroked his beard and said with a smile, "I'm going to call you Miss Song Family. After all, she is the head of the Song Family Kiln Factory, so I can no longer call you Miss Song Family."

  Mrs. Wang covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled.

  *

  Song Jiyun sat in the rickety sedan chair, also thinking about this trip to the palace.

  There are people in the imperial court who are easy to handle. If she wants to gain a foothold in the business field, she not only needs to rely on Master Wang's strength, but it is best to use Master Wang to establish friendship with her new parents, Mr. Guan Jiang. It also prevents them from being excluded by the gentry in Liang County and the kiln factories in Jingdezhen like the flower viewing feast in Wensi Tower today.

   It’s just about firing white porcelain, so I have to say hello to Eunuch Wan.

  With Eunuch Wan's temperament, he will definitely get a share.

  It would be fine if Eunuch Wan continued to serve as the pottery supervisor in Jingdezhen. If he was promoted and left this time, what would she use to fill the desire for the successor pottery supervisor?

   I have to figure out a way...

  Song Jiyun was thinking in his heart, the sedan chair stopped, Zheng Quan helped her lift the curtain of the sedan chair, and called her a few times before she came back to her senses and bent down to get out of the sedan chair.

   It's just that as soon as she got out of the sedan chair, she looked in the direction of Yin Yutang.

  Through the heavy corridor eaves, you can still see the bright lights.

   It can be seen that Yuan Yunzhong has not rested yet.

  She couldn't help but turn her mouth slightly, and said to Zheng Quan: "I'll transcribe the regulations for tomorrow's flower viewing party, and send it to Mr. Yuan."

   Zheng Quan promised. After she finished writing the charter, she immediately sent it to Yin Yu Tang.

  Yuan Yunzhong had changed into his coat and was about to take a rest. He took the regulations sent by Zheng Quan. He frowned when he saw this, and asked Shao Qing, "Did you just get the regulations for the Flower Appreciation Fair at this time?"

  Shao Qing had already inquired with Zheng Quan just now, and said: "Miss Song just came back from the owner Bo who surnamed Wang."

  He told Yuan Yunzhong what happened.

  Yuan Yunzhong's face sank, the flexible rice paper was deeply wrinkled by him, and he said: "Let's go tomorrow at this time."

  The charter states that tomorrow's reception banquet will start at noon, but in order to show respect, it is best for everyone to arrive before the end of the day. "

Shao Qing responded with a grin, turned around and was about to prepare clothes, but when she turned around, she heard Yuan Yunzhong said: "I think Hong Xi is quite free, you take the name card and tell the inspection department of Changjiang Wharf that tomorrow the The Hong family's boats parked at the pier have to be checked carefully."

   Shao Qing was stunned.

  Yuan Yunzhong never cared about these messy things.

  Yuan Yunzhong saw him in a daze, and dark clouds rolled in his eyes.

  Shao Qing quickly lowered his head and said, "Yes!"

   Didn't even dare to ask how long the investigation took, and hurriedly walked out.

  *

  The next day was a sunny day.

  Song Jiyun opened his eyes, and saw the bright light shining on the green treetops.

  She was busy preparing the congratulatory gift for the new county magistrate last night, so she slept a bit late.

   "What time is it?" She immediately got up and asked the attendant Xiangzan.

   "It's not yet the beginning of the morning." Xiangzan ran to ask the maid to help her freshen up, and then ordered breakfast.

   Fortunately, Liang County is only so big, and it only takes two quarters of an hour to go to Wensi Building in a sedan chair.

  Song Jiyun packed up, went to greet Mrs. Qian, and then went to the sedan chair hall.

  Zheng Quan has made arrangements for the trip and is waiting in the sedan hall.

  Song Jiyun said: "Where is Mr. Yuan? Have you gone to invite him?"

  Zheng Quandao: "Guard Wu has already gone to invite you."

  Song Jiyun nodded, and talked about the banquet with Zheng Quan: "You wait in the side hall later, and ask Boss Chen's entourage to see when Chen Ji will produce mud today? I want to stock up more kaolin."

  Chen Kee specializes in kaolin.

  Their high-quality kaolin will hold an exhibition in September and October every year, and the highest price will win.

  In the future, sweet white porcelain will be used for sacrificial porcelain for the imperial kiln factory, and the amount of kaolin clay will be higher than before. It is always not wrong to stock up more.

  Zheng Quan was a little embarrassed, blushing and said: "I, I can't speak, or let the master of the kiln factory come over."

  Song Jiyun didn't take it seriously, and said: "I never come to the meeting for anything, just practice a few more times, it will be fine. I will need your help more often in the future."

   Zheng Quan agreed with embarrassment.

  Song Jiyun told him.

  Zheng Quan nodded repeatedly.

  The two talked for a long time, but there was no sign of Yuan Yunzhong.

  Song Jiyun was a little anxious, and called Xiangzan: "Go and see, why is there still no movement from Mr. Yuan's side?"
