Chapter 204 Dingxi Quilt
"Yes, ten sets of each. Is there any problem?" Jiang Shuyue looked at the shopkeeper doubtfully.
The shopkeeper had never seen so many wedding orders ordered at once. He gulped and said, "No, no problem. May I ask when the girl's wedding day will be? The small one can definitely be made in advance."
If his cloth shop doesn't have enough embroiderers, he can look for them outside, but he can't let such a big buyer go.
The embroidered quilt surface is not fully embroidered, so it is very fast to make.
Seeing that the shopkeeper had misunderstood, Jiang Shuyue shook her head, "It's not my great joy. It would be better if it could be made within ten days."
It was the first time in Wanling Kingdom to decorate the inn like a wedding room, and Jiang Shuyue didn't want to explain.
The shopkeeper nodded hurriedly, "If we can make it in time, don't worry, girl. Our cloth shop has the best and most embroiderers in the capital."
Then he turned to look at Nangong Zeyue, "What else does the young master need? There are ready-made wedding clothes over there, the young master can choose at will."
Nangong Zeyue: "..."
It's really hard to pick up the pot. I really want to put on the wedding clothes, but some people don't understand.
"The sheets should be made according to the style and size on this drawing, and the embroidery on the pillowcases and quilt should echo each other."
Nangong Zeyue was relieved when she saw Jiang Shuyue taking out the drawings to attract the shopkeeper's attention.
Jiang Shuyue selected everything she needed in the inn in one go, paid the deposit, and left the address of Juxian Pavilion before leaving.
The shopkeeper watched the two talented and beautiful people leave and said to himself with regret, "I thought they were a newlywed couple in a hurry to get married, but I didn't expect that the reservation was for a restaurant."
After leaving Buzhuang, Nangong Zeyue asked Cangyun to send Jiang Shuyue back home, and he went to the restaurant again.
When she returned to the house, Su Jin had already washed up and put on the new clothes that Qiu Ju helped buy.
"Ajin, you have worked hard these past few days, and now we are waiting for the results to be released. Please relax and don't think about the results."
In Jiang Shuyue's view, the scientific examination is just like the modern college entrance examination. You are nervous before the test and anxious after the test. If you don't see the results for a day, your heart will be hanging.
Su Jin poured a cup of tea and handed it over, "Sister, I'm the one who worked the hardest. The questions this time were all okay, not too difficult."
"You are younger than many candidates. If you fail, you may have to wait another three years." Jiang Shuyue comforted him.
She had experienced the college entrance examination in her previous life and knew not to expect too much. If she succeeded, it would be a pleasant surprise. If she did not do well, she would not be too disappointed.
In the evening, after Nangong Zeyue came back, they sat together and drank and talked.
Nangong Zeyue and Jiang Shuyue were talking about Juxian Pavilion and greenhouse vegetables. Su Jin didn't understand business so he listened quietly. He and Su Nan took turns feeding Suisui.
In the palace, the imperial study room was brightly lit. When Ma Eunuch saw that the emperor was listening attentively to Xiang Song's report about the Gongyuan, he silently stepped aside to wait on him.
"Your Majesty, all the candidates and the candidates were thrown into Jing Zhaoyin. Mr. Lu said that he would strictly deal with the invigilators as a warning to others."
Xiang Song only reported the key points. The scholar's punishment was very simple, and he did not go into details.
Xiao Jingzhao nodded slightly, expressing his agreement with Master Lu's approach.
Xiang Song glanced at Ma Gonggong beside him and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."
Xiao Jingzhao raised his chin slightly and said, "There are no outsiders here. If you have anything to say, just say it."
Eunuch Ma's eyes were hot when he heard this. The emperor really considered him as his confidant.
"Your Majesty, let me go and see what you did for the midnight snack." Eunuch Ma bowed his hands and walked out.
Seeing Eunuch Ma leave, Xiang Song lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, the people sent out to inquire about the eldest prince of Liang Kingdom have returned the news."
Xiao Jingzhao's eyes lit up and he asked: "Have you found any clues?"
"Yes, it's good news. We found out that someone was chasing a caravan. There was a nun and an infant in the caravan."
Xiang Song paused and said, "The place where the caravan disappeared was within the territory of Yannan."
"You just say whether that child is dead or alive?" Xiao Jingzhao frowned slightly.
"Some villagers saw the fight and heard the cry of the baby. The entire caravan was dead, including the nun, and the baby was missing."
"Finally, it was confirmed that the child was rescued." Xiang Song added the important point after finishing.
Xiao Jingzhao narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Check, send another group of people out to investigate, and we must find the whereabouts of the child."
"My subordinates will make arrangements now."
Xiang Song left with his front feet, and a hidden guard landed on the eaves in front of the window.
Xiao Jingzhao shouted outside, "Come in and talk."
A secret guard dressed in black jumped in from the window.
The secret guard knelt on one knee and saluted, then stood up and whispered beside Xiao Jingzhao.
After Xiao Jingzhao heard this, a cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he waved his hand, "We must get the evidence."
The secret guard stepped back and cupped his hands and said, "It's a very important matter, and my subordinates have already sent people to chase it."
Not long after the secret guard left, Eunuch Ma and the palace maid delivering supper came in.
Tonight's supper is a plate of pastries and a bowl of white fungus and lotus seed soup.
Chief Lin came to ask him for Ping'an Pulse today, saying that he had a strong liver fire and should not take any more supplements.
The bad things happened one after another in the past few days, how could Xiao Jingzhao not be angry.
After finishing the supper, Xiao Jingzhao walked out of the imperial study and stood on the corridor looking up at the sky with a myriad of thoughts.
The vast sky was as dark as ink, as if it was heavily coated with thick ink. The night wind blew, and the leaves rustled on the branches.
Suddenly, a figure flashed across the corridor. Xiao Jingzhao looked sideways and saw that it was Xiang Yang. He quickly asked: "How is it? Has she accepted Hu Qing?"
"Master, it's settled. Hu Qing said that the girl has kept him on probation for three months."
Xiao Jingzhao raised his eyebrows slightly, "What do you mean?"
Xiang Yang explained quickly, "That means Hu Qing must not do anything wrong within three months, otherwise the girl will not keep him."
"And this method of employing people?" Xiao Jingzhao stared at Xiang Yang in disbelief.
A chill ran down Xiangyang's spine, he shrank his neck and said, "Don't worry, Master, you know Hu Qing's ability. He will definitely gain the girl's trust."
In the early morning of the next day, it started to rain lightly, and Nangong Zeyue went to the restaurant to supervise the work without any hindrance.
Cangyun took the seeds and headed to Zhuangzi outside the city. Two greenhouses had been built in the village, and Cangyun was anxious to send the seeds for trial planting.
An hour later, the rain became heavier and heavier, and the rainwater dripped down the eaves, like pearls with broken strings.
Jiang Shuyue sat in front of the window, with pen, ink, paper and inkstone in front of her, and her mind was filled with the layout and planning of the restaurant.
The sound of the bead curtain clashing was heard, and Qiu Ju walked in, "Miss, all the scholars in the capital are clapping their hands and applauding."
Jiang Shuyue turned around and asked, "What big thing happened again?"
"Miss, you still don't know that there was an invigilator in the Gongyuan who helped others cheat and was imprisoned in Jing Zhaoyin's prison. The emperor was so angry that he appointed a left prime minister and a right prime minister this morning."
"There is also news that the emperor will hand-pick the top candidate in the imperial examination after the results are released, and will not wait until the next spring."
Then Qiu Ju vividly told the news she heard today.
Jiang Shuyue sincerely admired Xiao Jingzhao's ability. She nodded, "Now is the time to employ people. The Emperor does not stick to old rules. This year's candidates are blessed."
