Chapter 36, Bai Jieyu
Wei Jiashu had just walked out of the gate of the side hall when he met Jiang Yongfu, the consul and eunuch in front of the palace.
The chubby manager Jiang smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, "Say hello to Wei Cainu!" Little Lord, long live the Lord invites you to the main hall. β
Aunt Yingluo immediately smiled: "The emperor and the little lord are really heartfelt, and the little lord is also about to go to the main hall to ask for thanks." β
Wei Jiashu squinted at Yingluo: It's clearly your idea......
The main hall of the Qianqing Palace is filled with an elegant and sweet aroma, and the source of the fragrance is the gilded incense furnace of the crane-like statue on the emperor's side.
"Greetings to the emperor!" Wei Jiashu stepped forward and bowed.
Xuan Chengyi smiled slightly, and hurriedly raised his hand to help him, "You smell it, this smell is not bad, right?" β
Wei Jiashu was stunned: "This fragrance is very different from the spices used by the emperor in the past, smell it...... It's very sweet. β
Xuan Chengyi said with a smile: "This is exactly the fragrance of Hua Wei Feng Zhen, I think you will like it." β
Then, I saw Jiang Yongfu personally bring up the two luodian lacquer boxes, which were naturally the so-called Hua Wei Feng Zhen incense.
Wei Jiashu was about to thank him, but Xuan Chengyi said again: "I'm afraid you don't have a suitable furnace there, Jiang Yongfu, you go to the library to look for it, I remember that there is a good Xuande furnace." β
Xuande furnace?
Is it the antique Xuande furnace she imagined?
It seems that in later generations, they are all priceless treasures that are rare to see in auction houses!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Although she can't take it to auction, she won't dislike anything valuable.
Xuan Chengyi smiled slightly, "Over there in the Changqiu Palace, if there is something missing, just talk to me." β
Wei Jiashu felt that it was best not to be too greedy as the emperor's concubine......
However, she was really short of something.
"Huh? What's wrong? Xuan Chengyi seemed to see the hesitation on that beautiful face, "If you have something to say, you don't have to be restrained in front of me." β
It's strange if she is not restrained, this is a feudal emperor who controls the power of the world and her life!
But Wei Jiashu finally spoke: "Look, the concubine, there doesn't seem to be anything like pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc., in the concubine's share......"
Hearing this, Xuan Chengyi couldn't help laughing: "I thought it was some kind of rare treasure that made you twist and pinch like this." β
Saying that, Xuan Chengyi instructed Jiang Yongfu: "Go to the library to pick some good ones, and send them to Changqiu Palace back." β
"Yes, slave and maid understand!"
Wei Jiashu actually wants a fountain pen more...... Xuan Taizu, a buddy from modern times, writes with a brush like a dog crawling, so this benevolent brother invented the pencil and wasted the strength of the old nose to create a fountain pen.
Pencils are cheap and affordable, which is a boon for the underclass, while pens ...... It's really expensive, even more expensive than a top-of-the-line brush!
And only the royal office can make the best fountain pens, and these top goods, in addition to the royal enjoyment, the emperor only occasionally rewards the clan nobles.
It's rare for ordinary people to even see each other.
Therefore, Wei Jiashu did not name and said that he wanted a fountain pen.
But Xuan Chengyi knew that she was from the future, and he had checked all the details of her life, so he knew that Wei Jiashu's calligraphy was actually very ordinary.
Xuan Chengyi's heart moved, and suddenly ordered: "Add another pen." β
Wei Jiashu's eyes lit up instantly, she was still more accustomed to using a hard pen than a soft brush, and even practiced hard pen calligraphy in her last life, and could write a beautiful fountain pen! Her pen writing is even much better than ballpoint pen writing.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wei Jiashu's thanks this time are much more sincere.
The corners of Xuan Chengyi's mouth curled, and he suddenly understood that he had guessed the beauty's mind.
He waved his hand and retreated, "In your last life, did you learn pen calligraphy?" β
Wei Jiashu nodded, "Concubines are more accustomed to using hard pens and calligraphy...... I haven't been able to get to the point. β
Xuan Chengyi said: "It is not easy to learn fountain pen characters well. β
Anyway, she thinks it's much easier than writing with a brush.
Xuan Chengyi asked in a low voice: "At that time, were there more people who used fountain pens than brushes?" β
Wei Jiashu nodded: "Three hundred years later, the brush ...... Only calligraphy lovers will use it. After all, the pen writes smaller, faster, and more paper-saving. β
However, at that time, the most popular was the ballpoint pen, and the fountain pen still needed to be filled with ink, which was not as convenient as the ballpoint pen.
Xuan Chengyi bowed slightly, "Yes, although I have the intention to promote, the manufacture of fountain pens is time-consuming and laborious, and the cost is too expensive." β
Wei Jiashu said: "With the improvement of the process, the cost will slowly come down." Three hundred years from the other plane, an ordinary fountain pen would be a few dollars.
While the two were chatting, Jiang Yongfu had already taken the fountain pen, a delicate red box, lined with snow silk, and a finely crafted fountain pen lying quietly inside.
This fountain pen is full of classical charm, and the gold engraved Momoire moire on the top looks like a handicraft.
Ah no, it's a craft.
It's so elegant and sophisticated that you can't put it down.
Because the emperor rewarded too many things, he had to work with the eunuchs in front of the emperor and sent the Xuande furnace, the Hua curtain and the phoenix incense, the four treasures of the study and other things to the Changqiu Palace.
As for the handicraft-level fountain pen, Wei Jiashu returned to the Changqiu Palace by himself.
In this battle, it is really difficult not to attract attention.
So, no, this alarmed Bai Jieyu, who lives in the same house.
Bai Jieyu watched the large and small brocade boxes sent into the West Wing Hall in waves, sour and jealous, and her face was so angry that her face was deformed.
Wei Jiashu politely sent away the eunuch in front of the palace, and was about to go back to the room to rest, but saw Bai Jieyu coming towards him.
Wei Jiashu had to bend her knees to ask Bai Jieyu for peace, there was no way, she was just a seven-grade girl, and Bai Jieyu was a fourth-grade woman.
Bai Jieyu snorted out of her nostrils, and her good-looking nose was half crooked, "Wei Cainu is really favored by the emperor!" Yesterday rewarded silk and satin, and today is better than yesterday! I'm afraid I can't put it down in this little side hall! β
Wei Jiashu was not angry, she smiled and said, "Don't worry, you can let it go." β
Bai Jieyu sneered, but in exchange for such a sentence that was neither soft nor hard, Bai Jieyu choked so much that she didn't know what to say.
Anyway, Bai Jieyu is a vinegar jar, Wei Jiashu asked himself if he had the ability to appease her, to be precise, as long as she was favored, Bai Jieyu would not be able to look at her well.
In that case, don't be faulty in etiquette.
Bai Jieyu gritted her teeth and gurgled, "How long can you get a good time?!" I'm going to see how many days you can be pampered! β
Wei Jiashu smiled and said: "Thank you Jieyu for your care, the concubine is only sixteen years old this year, and she is still ten or eight years away from old age and decay." β
Bai Jieyu was so angry that she almost broke out, and she laughed angrily: "Okay! Good! We'll see! β
After that, Bai Jieyu flicked her sleeves fiercely and said loudly: "Prepare to shoulder and go to Chang'an Palace!" β
This is...... Are you going to sue her cousin?
Wei Jiashu was not surprised, but she didn't want to put up with it.
In life, if you are bullied to the door and swallow your anger, what is the meaning of living?!
Yingluo helped her back to the hall, she retreated left and right, and said in a low voice: "Little master, you are too impulsive. β
Wei Jiashu said lightly: "Even if I am willing to endure the anger for a while, she may not be willing to live peacefully with me." β
Ying Luo was stunned, this Bai Jieyu is indeed not a good match, "Okay, as long as the little master is favored for a day, there is no need to be afraid of Bai Jieyu." As for the concubine's sideβ"
"The little master still prepares a generous gift, let's go and ask for peace later." Yingluo Road.
