Enter the Room

"Young Master Wan agrees to meet me!" The smile on Song Tao's face couldn't stop spreading.

She clasped her hands together and couldn't help but recite "Amitabha" silently in her heart.

The man standing opposite her kept nodding his head and said with a smile on his face: "The chief manager of Wanfu has made an appointment for us to go there early tomorrow morning."

The man's name is Song Ren, and he is a helper that Song Tao recently discovered from Changjiang Wharf.

In his previous life, he had worked as a steward in Song Jiyun's kiln factory. When Song Tao first entered the kiln factory, he worked under him.

Song Ren was not only smart, capable, courageous and careful, but also had a good character. Even Song Jiyun once praised him.

It's just that she didn't have much contact with Song Ren at that time. She didn't know his origins or when he joined the Song family kiln factory. It took her a long time to find him.

Sure enough, not long after Song Ren arrived at her side, he settled the matter with Eunuch Wan.

The people she sent to contact Eunuch Wan before were given a lot of gifts, but let alone Eunuch Wan, even the servants around Eunuch Wan couldn't handle it.

Song Tao happily rewarded Song Ren with fifty taels of silver.

She plans to train Song Ren to be her right-hand man.

Song Ren was also very happy.

He was a moron and married into the Song family with his mother. Recently, because of the death of his stepfather's biological son, he changed his surname to Song.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he changed his surname, Song Tao hired him to work in the kiln factory with a high salary.

It can be seen that you still have to rely on the rich family to enjoy the cool weather!

He reminded Song Tao: "Since Eunuch Wan likes jade porcelain so much, do you want to bring some exquisite jade porcelain with you when you go to see Eunuch Wan this time?"

"Of course." Song Tao smiled.

She had already prepared and burned several jade and porcelain items during this period.

But when they arrived at Wan Gonggong's mansion as promised, things didn't go as smoothly as they imagined.

There was a tense atmosphere throughout Eunuch Wan's mansion.

As soon as he saw them, the boy next to Eunuch Wan kept urging them: "Hurry up! Our adults are going out soon. If you are late, you will have to wait until next time."

Song Tao suddenly felt bad, but now that he was here, he could only bite the bullet and lead Song Ren to follow quickly.

When they sat down in the hall where Wan Eunuch's guests were staying, Wan Eunuch didn't come over for a long time. The maid who served them refreshments had a rather indifferent attitude and looked indifferent to any questions. It wasn't until she slapped these people hard that they had a sincere smile on their faces and told them everything. Father-in-law is having breakfast.

As for when Wan's father-in-law would go out and what he was going to do, he had decided to go out at short notice and had already decided to go out today. They all had no idea.

Eunuch Wan finally arrived, but Eunuch Wan had a cold attitude towards them. He neither asked about their purpose of coming nor had any intention of saying anything to them. He casually exchanged a few casual greetings and then served tea to see the guests off.

Song Tao couldn't find a suitable opportunity even if she wanted to say a few more words.

After coming out of Wanfu, Song Tao couldn't help but feel depressed.

Song Ren was even more frustrated and said: "My abilities are still limited and I can't make the people of Wanfu look at us differently."

They all realized that today was obviously not a good opportunity to see Eunuch Wan - Eunuch Wan was in a hurry to go out and had no intention of entertaining the visitor.

But if the friendship comes, even if Eunuch Wan goes out temporarily, they can get the news in advance and come to see Eunuch Wan at another time.

Song Tao had no choice but to cheer up and comfort Song Ren: "This is an accident, no one expected it!"

Song Ren felt even more guilty after hearing this. He said, "Miss Third, why don't I stop going to the kiln for the next few days and stay in Wanfu. I don't believe that Wanfu is still an iron-clad wall!"

Song Tao admired his unwillingness to admit defeat. After thinking for a moment, he simply said: "Then you go to the accountant and pay a few hundred taels of silver. When it's time to do it, you don't have to save money for me. But this shouldn't be spent, you You have to find a way to save me money. After all, we are just starting now. When the situation of the kiln factory gets better in the future, I will divide the shares. "

At the end of the words, there was a hint of ridicule in it.

Song Ren was overjoyed and promised repeatedly: "Don't worry, Miss Third, I will definitely take care of this matter."

The two of them then headed for the mule cart at their kiln factory.

Unexpectedly, when he raised his eyes, he saw Eunuch Wan's sedan chair being hurriedly carried past.

"This is this?" Song Tao's heart tightened and she told Song Ren, "Let's follow."

Let’s see if there is a chance to talk to Eunuch Wan again.

Song Ren thought the same way.

The two followed closely.

Unexpectedly, there were more and more people traveling further north. When we arrived at the city gate, it was already so crowded that we couldn't even squeeze in.

The official Wan Gonggong was so powerful that the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate immediately stepped forward to evacuate the crowd and soon left the city. Song Tao and Song Ren were blocked in the city.

Song Ren asked someone casually to inquire.

The speaker's face was red and excited: "You don't even know this! Today is the day when the Song Kiln Factory sends the Guanyin porcelain statue to the Eight Immortals Temple! Everyone has come to watch the fun."

Before Song Ren could speak, someone immediately spoke up: "I heard that we also invited an eminent monk from Jiuhua Mountain who works at Wuming Temple to give a lecture. We can't get in at the Eight Immortals Temple anymore. If you want to see the excitement, you can go next to the Eight Immortals Temple. There are stalls and jugglers in Hui'an Square. I think there are more people there than the Yao Shen Festival, and it's more interesting."

"No!" Everyone started talking, "I saw Magistrate Jiang's sedan passing here before, and just now I saw Eunuch Wan's sedan. I heard from the people in front that they all went to the Eight Immortals Temple."

"I also saw Mr. Ma's sedan! I guess all the prominent people in Liang County are here today."

"How many people will it take?"

Everyone was chatting and laughing, and it was very noisy.

Song Ren grew up in the Song family, and he also heard about the grievances between the three brothers of the Song family. But if he wanted to do something in his position, he would naturally side with Song Tao.

He was hesitating how to tell Song Tao about this, but Song Tao had already opened the car curtain and said coldly: "Let's go back to the kiln!"

Song Ren quickly responded "yes" and directed the coachman to leave the North City Gate.

Song Tao was sitting in the carriage, the handkerchief in her hand twisted like a prune.

Song Jiyun stood on the second floor of the Nuan Pavilion next to the Guanyin Hall of the Eight Immortals Nunnery. Looking at the crowd of heads inside and outside the nunnery, he felt his scalp numb.

If Magistrate Jiang hadn't dispatched government officials to maintain order, and arranged a place in advance for shopkeepers and vendors in the city to set up stalls, there would have been a stampede accident at the Baxian Temple.

But she was also a little confused.

She asked Zheng Quan: "Why are there so many people?"

At this time, unlike later generations, all news spread very quickly.

Zheng Quan had just returned from a patrol. He didn't even have time to take a sip of tea. Hearing this, he immediately said: "I heard Mr. Shao say that they contacted Yaxing and hired people to shout in the streets and alleys and on the hills in the countryside. Now Liang County There are few people who don’t know about the Guanyin Statue. When I came here, I heard Mr. Yuan and County Magistrate Jiang say that I am afraid that the Eight Immortals Temple will be crowded with people in the past few days, and they are rubbing shoulders with each other. Magistrate Jiang should not evacuate the people from the county government. , each person in our family will supplement their meal allowance by one tael of silver per day.”
