MTL - Enter the Room-Chapter 317

  Chapter 317

   Fortunately, Song Jiyun rushed to the building office.

  Master Liu was about to send someone to call her.

   Seeing her, Master Liu rushed forward as if he saw a life-saving straw.

"You're here!" he said, wiping the sweat off his face, "I didn't want to disturb you, but just now the palace sent someone to deliver a list, calling for you to help burn two sets of tea sets with twigs and flowers. There is a new blue and white plum vase, a hanging screen painted on glaze, and two Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattvas."

  Song Jiyun was taken aback, and said, "Which noble people want it? Do you have any specific requirements?"

  As long as it is a flower, it can be painted as a twig, and there are thousands of varieties of flowers. If you don’t specify the specific requirements, how does she burn it?

   Master Liu hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes."

   As he spoke, he took Song Jiyun into the study next to the hall, took out a list from the desk and handed it to her.

  The list says that the twig flowers should be crabapple and hosta, the plum vase should be lotus pattern and eight treasure pattern, and the hanging screen should be the four gentlemen of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum.

Master Liu said beside her: "The begonia flower tea set and plum vase with lotus pattern are for Concubine Chen, the jade hairpin flower tea set is for Concubine Jing, the plum vase with eight treasures pattern and one of the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattvas seem to be for Concubine Xian, The other statue of Guanshiyin Bodhisattva was requested by Concubine Fan."

   Song Jiyun was a little at a loss.

  Although she intends to promote her own porcelain, but the palace is heavy, she has not done anything, and her reputation has been spread.

  She asked Mr. Liu: "When will I get this order? Do I need to go to the palace to thank you? You said that the queen wants to see me, but has there been a regulation in the palace?"

"Look at my memory." Mr. Liu patted his forehead when he heard the words, and said with a smile, "The things on this list say that they can be sent to the palace before the Mid-Autumn Festival. As for whether to go to thank you, we can wait until you see the empress." The list was brought by the little **** in the empress's palace, obviously it has passed through the empress's understanding, you can ask the empress what she means when you enter the palace."

  He also told her: "I will enter the palace in three days. However, I don't know if it is because the empress does not know that you have entered the palace. The palace also arranged for a teacher to come and teach you the rules tomorrow."

  After he finished speaking, he said with deep meaning: "If you feel that there is no need to learn the rules, you can tell the people in Zhaode Palace."

  Zhaode Palace is the place where Concubine Wan Gui lives. He doesn't think he has any friendship with Concubine Wan Gui, does he?

   What's more, the relationship in the palace is so complicated.

  She smiled and said: "Since it is the empress's arrangement, I will definitely arrive early in the morning. I just don't know where I should learn the rules? When is the right time to arrive tomorrow?"

Master Liu saw that she didn't answer, a little disappointment flashed in his eyes, but his attitude was still very gentle: "It's at the Zao Office. But the palace gates only open at Maoshi in the palace, so you can't get there until Sishi. You hurry up before Sishi Just arrive."

   Song Cumulus should go down.

  Master Liu smiled and said: "I haven't congratulated you on being selected by the Empress Dowager!"

As he spoke, he cupped his hands towards Song Jiyun, said "Congratulations" a few times formally, and said, "I've heard that your work is well done, but I didn't expect to make an exception in the palace as soon as you made a move. It's good to look to the left." , look right, just choose 18 patterns.” He also said with emotion, “It’s true that heroes come out of youth. A total of 24 paintings were selected in the palace, and the other six were drawn by Ji Shuanghu of the Ji family. Dehua The Deng family, none of them were selected."

Song Jiyun didn't comment on Deng's family, but praised Ji Shuanghu a few times, and said politely to Mr. Liu, then got up and said goodbye: "Please forgive me, I have received so many errands at once. Go back and finalize the pattern. Please forgive me for being rude."

   "It should be, it should be." Master Liu stood up with a smile, thinking that it was getting late and he was about to leave the office, so he simply sent Song Jiyun out.

"Remember to come here tomorrow, don't forget." He stood at the gate while waiting for the sedan chair, and told him, "If you meet that bad-tempered nanny who likes to criticize, and will sue you when you go back, what else can you do? Be respectful to them, and prepare a few more red envelopes."

  Song Jiyun thanked him for his kindness, and got into the carriage.

   It was just that when the car curtain was raised, he saw a heroic side face.

  He blinked involuntarily.

   If he is not mistaken, it is Yuan Yunzhong, right?

   Master Liu couldn't help but walked out of the gate, stepped forward a few steps, stretched his neck on tiptoe, and looked at the carriage.

  Ordinary cyan coarse cloth curtains, black-painted carriages everywhere on the street.

   Instead, his entourage instructed the bearer to stop the sedan chair in front of him, and said, "Master, what are you looking at?"

   "Yeah!" Master Liu looked back in embarrassment, and said, "I see the carriage in front of me, it looks familiar."

   Who knew that the attendant said: "That is the carriage of the family of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Mr. Wang. When his son-in-law lived near here, he often passed by us."

   Master Liu was dumbfounded: "You, how do you know that it is Mr. Wang's carriage?"

The attendant said disapprovingly: "I saw that you hadn't come out at this time, so I ran over to see that carriage was parked at the door, and felt that the door was blocked, so I thought about going forward and asking them to move a place, so that your sedan chair wouldn't come out. It's not easy to come out. Who knew that Mr. Yuan from Zhan Shifu was sitting in the carriage, so I didn't say anything."

   There are six members of the Yuan family, big and small, and they don’t know which lord Yuan they are unless they clearly state the yamen they work in.

  Master Liu stomped his feet and said, "Why don't you just tell me quietly."

  No matter what will happen to that Mr. Song and this Mr. Yuan, if they can take this opportunity to talk, who knows if it will be useful in the future.

   The followers were stunned.

  Master Liu instructed: "Squat here for me tomorrow, and if Mr. Yuan comes over again, you can go and tell me quietly."

   "Yes!" The entourage replied, and squatted in the porter's room early the next day, but the carriage sent a woman to the door, stopped for a while and left.

  He went to tell Master Liu.

  Master Liu frowned, and said, "How long has the carriage been parked at the door?"

Hearing his tone, the entourage seemed to blame him for his incompetence, and hurriedly said: "I originally wanted to go forward, even if I didn't report your name to the master, I would still say hello to the driver, but the little lady who came in just now was standing there. In front of the carriage, I have been talking to Mr. Yuan, so it is difficult for me to go there. By the time I wanted to go there, the carriage had already left."

   Master Liu said: "What have you said for a long time?"

The attendant was a little embarrassed, and said: "As soon as the little lady was about to turn around, Master Yuan took her hand. As soon as the little lady turned around, Master Yuan held her hand. It was the little lady who said it was getting late, Yuan Yuan The lord was still reluctant to let go, so the young lady pushed lord Yuan into the carriage and came in only after watching the carriage go far away."

  Master Liu touched his chin and said, "You continue to squat at the door for me, and call me when Master Yuan comes."

  Maybe he will come to pick Mrs. Song up.

  He also sent someone to guard outside the wing where Song Jiyun learned the rules—he had no way of finding out when the nanny would return to the palace, so he had to stick to it.
