Enter the Room

People in Xiejie Ertiao Hutong were indeed panicked. When everyone saw Song Jiyun, they hurriedly gathered around him.

"Boss, shopkeeper Zhou went to the Yamen to file a lawsuit. Will he be okay?"

"What should we do? The Deng family are very arrogant. Just now, someone came to our door and yelled at them, saying they wanted to make our home look good."

"Wang Hua said it doesn't matter. But I heard that the person standing behind the Deng family is from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he is also a third-rank official. Will Mr. Yuan suffer a loss?"

Regarding Yuan Yunzhong's family background, Song Jiyun didn't say much to the people around him, and the governor was not a permanent official position in this dynasty at this time. It was the kind of appointment that was made when needed and taken back when the work was done. They had Such worries are not unreasonable.

"It's okay." She reassured the people around her, "Wang Hua will handle these things."

Of course they couldn't trust Wang Hua, but they could trust Song Jiyun. Since she said so, they believed it.

Song Jiyun took Master Xiao Guo and others to the backyard and told them about today's visit to the manufacturing office: "We have to burn a few kilns quickly and test the temperature and heat. I'm afraid that by then we will only think about going out." Drawings, while Longquan porcelain directly bakes them. After all, the real thing is more intuitive."

Everyone thought it would not be the case, but Song Jiyun was gaining more and more power. They no longer dared to question her decision casually, so they comforted her and said: "How good are the things we come out of Jingdezhen? There is an imperial kiln factory there. People outside don't know." , people in the palace still don’t know how good our stuff is? You don’t have to worry so much.”

Song Jiyun didn't like their attitude and said: "Anything is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat."

She told everyone that Ji Shuanghu had fired two kilns, and said: "Do you still think that other people are not our opponents? Then do you know where the official porcelain was before Jingdezhen was designated as the imperial kiln factory? Factory?"

Everyone bowed their heads.

Master Xiaoxiang said cleverly: "Don't worry, boss, we will test the kiln carefully. Once your drawings come out, we will try to bake most of them in one go."

"Yes!" Song Jiyun nodded with satisfaction and discussed with everyone what to send to the manufacturing office for selection.

By the time Zhou Zheng and Wang Hua came back from the Yamen, it was already sunset. Even if they rushed to the city gate slowly and hurriedly, they were afraid that the city would be closed, so they might as well rest here in Ertiao Hutong for the night.

Song Jiyun asked Zheng Quan to order some tables at a nearby restaurant. Wang Hua got some willow branches from somewhere, soaked them in water, sprinkled them on Zhou Zheng, and said, "Although we are reasonable, That side, but this Yamen Court is not a good place after all. If you go there to get rid of bad luck, everything will be safe and smooth in the future, and you will never have to go there again."

Zhou Zheng smiled and let him sprinkle water drops on himself, and said to Song Jiyun: "Miss, the matter is settled. Although the Deng family asked Mr. Liu from the Metropolitan Procuratorate to intercede, the people from Shuntian Mansion also said Yes, they are acting in accordance with the law. In addition to our family suing theirs, the neighbors next door will also sue them. What if Shuntian Mansion acts biasedly and causes public outrage? The Liu family was quite tough at first. Yes, later the master of Shuntian Mansion pulled him aside and said something, and the case was decided.

"I see that the Deng family still doesn't give up, but the Liu family will definitely not speak up for them."

Song Jiyun nodded, knowing that this was probably because Shuntian Prefecture Yin was unwilling to cause trouble and handled the case impartially because of Yuan Yunzhong's face.

She couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart.

No matter when, going to court is never a simple matter.

She raised the wine cup in her hand towards Wang Hua and said, "I have to thank you for this. You took the trouble."

Wang Hua was so frightened that he stood up and repeatedly claimed that he "dare not", but he knew in his heart that Song Jiyun was thanking Yuan Yunzhong.

After drinking for three rounds and everyone heard Zhou Zheng's experience in court, the conversation gradually turned to the errands of the manufacturing office.

With his eyes rolling, Wang Hua sifted wine for Song Jiuyun and said, "If you don't have any orders tomorrow, I will go back to the Yuan family. The old man often goes to the palace to give banquets to the emperor. My brother serves the old man. Let me ask. Does he have any acquaintances in the palace?"

Song Jiyun did not want to rely on the Yuan family.

Yuan Yunzhong disobeyed the elders in her family because of her. In the eyes of those elders, she was probably either the "high-ranking" sister Lao, or the seductive "fake girl". She would still rely on Yuan Yun for everything. The elders in the Zhong family are more and more looked down upon by the elders of Yuan Yunzhong.

What's more, she has always felt that difficulties are sometimes challenges. If she gives up without fighting, she will definitely miss many opportunities to cultivate herself.

"That's not necessary." Song Jiyun smiled, "I already have an idea."

Wang Hua was stunned.

Song Jiyun didn't say much. He got up the next day and took Zhou Zheng into the city.

On the way back, she specifically asked Zheng Quan to pass by the weaving and dyeing bureau. She also pointed to the dusty house next to it and asked Wang Hua: "Last time you said that this is the house of Mr. Qin Fangqin, the eunuch Bingbi, the Superintendent of Ceremonies." Residence?"

Wang Hua was stunned and guessed: "Are you trying to get the job in the manufacturing office through Mr. Qin?"

He hesitated and said: "He is a very difficult person to talk to. Everyone behind his back calls him the 'Smiling Tiger'. Don't worry, he agrees to everything in front of you, but when he turns around, there is no exchange of interests, and he loses face to no one." Will buy it."

What he meant was that Song Jiyun didn't have enough capital to ask Qin Fang to help her.

Of course Song Jiyun knew, but she also had her own ideas.

She told Zhou Zheng: "Rat has rat hole, snake has snake nest. I don't know how many outsiders come to Beijing to do business, so there are indispensable brokers with skills and ability. You find a way to find the local snakes, let them go, and pay a lot of money." Find a broker and find out what Mr. Qin likes."

She also said: "As long as you are a human being, it is impossible not to have preferences. As long as you know what his preferences are, you can find a way to suit him."

Wang Hua couldn't help but admire Song Jiuyun in his eyes.

Zhou Zheng said, "Are we putting the cart before the horse? Instead of asking about Mr. Qin's hobbies, why not just ask about the Empress Dowager's hobbies?"

This is when a person is trapped by knowledge.

Song Jiyun taught him carefully: "We have just arrived, and in the eyes of the three religions and nine circles in the capital, we are no different from the big fat sheep. Let's not let others see the clues in our actions. Let's not say whether these people can find out about the Empress Dowager. If someone finds out about your hobbies, and a big hat is put down to spy on the royal family, you and I will inevitably end up in jail.

"But it's different to ask Mr. Qin. He is the great eunuch beside the emperor. I don't know how many people want to ask him to do things and bribe him. Even if we are discovered, we will just get a reputation for opportunism. "

Zhou Zheng nodded repeatedly.

Song Jiyun smiled and said: "If Mr. Qin is upright and honest, we might not be able to find out anything. But I don't quite believe that he is such a person. Therefore, if we go to ask, we will definitely get the right answer, and we will be able to follow him immediately. Mr. Qin is on the line."

Zhou Zheng was suspicious.

Wang Hua couldn't help but admire him: "Oh, if Mr. Qin wants to accept bribes, he must tell others how to bribe him! His hobbies that are spread outside may be spread by him himself."
