Jingtai Fenghua

Chapter 71 Wang Zhi’s hesitation

When Lin Cunde said that the Queen wanted to see him, Wang Zhi was stunned. He had not expected this, and if the Queen summoned him at this time, wouldn't it be a bad thing?

"Well, is that really the case?" Wang Zhi thought about it for a while, then looked at Lin Cunde and asked.

"Yes!" Lin Cunde stood up, cupped his hands, and continued: "I dare not hide it from Dazai. Jin Yiwei Zhu Ji is waiting for the junior outside the staff, so I am afraid that the trip to see the Queen Mother will not be possible. Please forgive me! "

"Oh, that's okay, it's just an unfortunate time!" Wang Zhi reacted quickly and immediately waved his hand, then asked, "Will you have time in the future?"

"This!" Lin Cunde was embarrassed when he saw that Wang Zhi didn't mean to give up. However, Wang Zhi pressed him like this and he couldn't refuse. He could only reply: "Dazai, I am a scholar. Although I have been awarded an official position now, I still can't refuse." She is keeping her filial piety at home, so why does the Queen Mother insist on seeing the official? The official is now at home, and most of the time she is studying behind closed doors!"

"Well, I'm also puzzled!" Wang Zhi shook his head and continued: "It's just that I was entrusted by someone to let you come over. As for what the Queen Mother wants to talk to you, I don't know. However, in fact, I'm thinking I don’t want you to go, after all, it’s better not to get involved in palace matters!”

Lin Cunde immediately nodded and said: "Yes, this junior also thinks so. When the Empress Dowager summoned me, I didn't dare not to go. I just don't know why. I went there, but it seemed that I couldn't help much. If I asked me about soap and soap, Things, now the official can’t make the decision on these matters! It might be useful to find the official before the soap and soap come out, but now, the official has handed over the formula! "

After hearing this, Wang Zhi nodded slightly, and then said to Lin Cunde: "Sit down and tell me the truth later. Let's see what happens next, right? However, you and Wang Ying are very close. , now because Soap and Soap are also very close to the Queen, it may not be a good thing, you still need to be cautious and study attentively!"

"Yes, that's what Dazai taught you!" Lin Cunde nodded again and sat down.

"Is there really nothing we can do about this soap and soap thing? Then, is there a way to reduce the profits? The profits are too big, which is not a good thing!" Wang Zhi continued to look at Lin Cunde and asked.

Lin Cunde smiled bitterly in his heart. It was obvious that Wang Zhi's team also bullied his youth and ignorance and used such words to deceive himself. Of course, he would not expose it to his face. Instead, he cupped his hands at Wang Zhi with a wry smile on his face and said: "Dazai, am I the one who can decide the price?

I only have a small share and have no say at all. The profit seems to be huge, but in fact the investment is also huge. Compared with the previous soap, our price is cheaper. One piece of our soap is equivalent to seven or eight yuan. Yizi, and the original price of Yizi was two hundred coins! "

"I know this, but I'm just confused about something!" Wang Zhi looked at Lin Cunde and asked.

"Please tell me, Dazai!" Lin Cunde immediately answered with his hands raised.

"You just said that you were going to report to the Empress on the soap and soap management matters. So you are the one who makes the decision on the soap and soap management? Now you say that you can't make the decision. Isn't it contradictory?" Wang Zhi He asked, staring at Lin Cunde.

When Lin Cunde heard this, he smiled and said: "Dazai made a mistake. The Queen Empress sent people to manage the business. As a small sharer, I also need to monitor this matter. If there is anything unreasonable, I can go to the Queen Empress." Report!"

"Oh, that's right!" Wang Zhi nodded, as if he understood. Then he seemed to suddenly think that Lin Cunde was going to see the Queen, and said, "When does the Queen invite you to meet?"

"I'll go back after Dazai asked me to be appointed an official in the Ministry of Civil Affairs!" Lin Cunde answered honestly.

"Okay, I won't delay your business, come and sit here when you have time!" Wang Zhi said and stood up.

Lin Cunde also stood up immediately, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Taizai, and worrying about the affairs of this junior!"

"It's okay, come and sit here when you have time!" Wang Zhi said with a smile, stroking his beard.

Lin Cunde saluted again, then walked to the door. Before opening the door, he saluted again. This time he opened the door and went out. At the same time, he closed the door for Wang Zhi.

At this moment, in Wang Zhi's office, a person came out of the room inside.

Wang Zhi smiled and cupped his hands at the man and said, "You have heard that I invited you, and unfortunately, the Queen wants to see him!"

"Well! It doesn't matter, I will go back and report to the Queen Mother!" At this moment, a high-pitched voice came, obviously a father-in-law.

"Yes!" Wang Zhi nodded and said.

"This guy is very smart. It's rare that he can make you unable to make a move, Dazai. No wonder both Shaobao and Admiral Wang want this guy. He's young and mature. It's really rare!" the father-in-law said with a smile.

Wang Zhi smiled and nodded: "Yes, after all, I have lost three relatives in a short period of time. If my mind is not mature, how can I stand on it!"

"Well, the Za family will rest at your place for a while and then leave! No wonder the Queen Mother is interested in such a young man!" the father-in-law said with a smile and sat down at the same time.

When Wang Zhi heard this, his heart skipped a beat. Don't take this at face value. He knew who the Empress Dowager Sun was. I'm afraid this child would be in danger. Thinking of this, Wang Zhi sighed in his heart, but still smiled at him on the surface. When pouring tea, my father-in-law actually imitated Lin Cunde and knocked on the table.

After just drinking a cup of tea, the father-in-law left, and Wang Zhi did not go to see him off.

After he left for a while, Wang Zhi kept sitting at the tea table thinking about it. It wasn't until someone knocked on the door that Wang Zhi calmed down and called out to come in. He thought to himself, he wanted to remind the child that no matter what Anyway, a fellow countryman cannot just be lost in the capital. Besides, this is Lin Xiangfeng's only remaining son.When Lin Cunde arrived outside the Ministry of Personnel, he first saw Sun Qiqiu. When Sun Qiqiu saw Lin Cunde coming out, he came over with a smile and asked: "Why does it take so long? It seems that you, brother, are about to become prosperous. The capable Minister of the Ministry of Personnel has been alone for so long!"

"Ha, no way, it's just because my fellow countrymen specially told me some things so that I can study at home behind closed doors with peace of mind!" Lin Cunde said to Sun Qiqiu with a smile.

"Let's go out. Let's find a small restaurant at noon and celebrate together, as long as we don't drink!" Sun Qiqiu said enthusiastically to Lin Cunde.

At this time, Zhu Ji was also walking this way, but Sun Qiqiu happened to have his back turned and didn't see him.

"I'm afraid it's inappropriate. I still have things to do. I'll greet you outside your mansion next time!" Lin Cunde immediately cupped his fists and apologized.

"Why is this? What else is urgent? Are you going home to announce the good news?" Sun Qiqiu looked at Lin Cunde incomprehensively and said.

Regarding this matter, Zhu Ji had already come very close and immediately called to Lin Cunde: "Cunde, why did it take so long?"

When Sun Qiqiu heard about the business, he immediately turned around. It seemed that he was an official of the Jin Yiwei, or an official of the fifth rank. The Jin Yiwei commanded Qian Shi, and immediately saluted respectfully: "I have met Mr. Qian Shi!"

"Yeah!" Zhu Ji nodded, then looked at Lin Cunde and asked, "Your friend?"

"Yes, my father and Sun Qiqiu's father are both officials of the Supervisory Yuan, and they have a good relationship. We have not met here. Let's chat for a while!" Lin Cunde immediately explained with a smile, and then said: "Brother Shang De, this is Sun Qiqiu, who was just arrested. Granted the responsibility of the Supervisory Yuan, Brother Sun, this is Brother Zhu Ji, the commanding officer of Jinyiwei, whose name is Shangde!"

"Oh, I have met Mr. Zhu! The lower official Sun Qiqiu, nicknamed Wangxian." Sun Qiqiu was extremely surprised. He did not expect that Lin Cunde could know such a big shot, and he was from Jinyiwei.

"Well, hello, let's get together next time. Cunde and I have some things to do!" Zhu Ji smiled and nodded.

Sun Qiqiu also immediately held up his hands and said: "Then you should be busy first, Cunde, let's get together next time!"

"Okay!" Lin Cunde also nodded.

Sun Qiqiu held his hands in front of them. Lin Cunde and Zhu Ji also left first.

Sun Qiqiu looked puzzled. Why did this little brother have such a big connection? He also knew Jin Yiwei and commanded others. He was a powerful figure and someone close to His Majesty.If you know such people, you will be promoted quickly in the future.

Sun Qiqiu left the palace with doubts.

Lin Cunde followed Zhu Ji to the Hall of Supreme Harmony. At this moment, Zhu Qiyu had already told him that he would not meet the courtiers if there was something going on this morning. If there was something else, he would come over in the afternoon. Therefore, there were no ministers at the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

In Zhu Qiyu's study room in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Zhu Qiyu was reading memorials and Wang Meilin was reading a book. The tea table next to them had long been filled with fresh fruits and snacks, and the two of them had been waiting here.

"Your Majesty, Madam, Zhu Qianshi and Lin Du are here!" Cheng Jing came in at this moment and said with a smile. Now he also knew that Zhu Qiyu and Wang Meilin were very important to Lin Cunde.

"Oh, come on, please come in!" Upon hearing this, Zhu Qiyu put down the memorial with a smile, stood up and ordered. Wang Meilin also stood up. When Cheng Jing saw them like this, he felt emotional in his heart. He really didn't know what was so special about this young man. This place allows His Majesty and the Queen to stand up and greet him.

After Cheng Jing went out, he led Lin Cunde in not long after.

When Lin Cunde came in, he was ready to kneel down to Zhu Qiyu and Wang Meilin. Before he could kneel down, Zhu Qiyu supported Lin Cunde and said with a smile: "No, you're not an outsider. Come on, brother-in-law, come over for tea. I like it." Drinking tea like this, and now discussing state affairs with the ministers are all here! The ministers all agreed! "

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, and thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!" Lin Cunde also said with a smile.

"Why are you still calling me your majesty and empress!" Wang Meilin said with a smile.

"You still have to call me elder sister and brother-in-law for the first time, sorry to disturb you!" Lin Cunde immediately said with a smile and cupped his hands.

"No need to be so complicated, come and sit down here!" Zhu Qiyu said with a smile, and then told Cheng Jing: "Go and pick some tea leaves and things that can be used at your brother-in-law's house. In addition, pick some supplements and send them directly. Go to his house!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Cheng Jing responded immediately.

Lin Cunde also smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, brother-in-law!"

"Well, why did this appointment take so long?" Zhu Qiyu asked casually.
