Datang all-rounder

Chapter 314

Wang Ke is very clear about the meaning of Wang Si's eyes looking at him, but now Wang Ke is thinking that when he and Wang Si go out, Nanping and Lanling have already gone to the palace with everyone in the family. With Nanping and Lanling leading the way, these women in the family will not be blocked from entering the palace, but if I and Wang Si can't, it's still a bit outrageous. After all, in this society, no matter how high a woman's status is , For the family, the man is still the head of the family. Without a man, it is still impossible for a woman to come forward to deal with various situations.

Wang Ke quickly said to Wang Si: "Father, it's getting late now, let's not say anything here, let's go to the palace quickly. The boy will explain to Dad slowly in the car later."

Originally, Wang Si wanted to ask Wang Ke to explain himself before he left. Hearing this, he quickly looked up at the sky and found that it was indeed getting late. If he didn't leave, he was really afraid of time If it was too late, he had no choice but to follow Wang Ke's suggestion, watching Wang Ke put the two vases into the car, sit in the co-pilot's seat, and let Wang Ke drive to the palace.

As soon as Wang Ke drove the car out of the gate of the villa, Wang Si couldn't bear it anymore, and asked, "Ke'er, what's the matter with these two vases? How can they be so light? Isn't this made of porcelain clay? Did it come out?"

Wang Ke knew that it would be unreasonable not to explain this matter to Wang Si at this time, and she also promised to explain it clearly to Wang Si in the car. If someone asks about Wang Si in the future, if Wang Si can't tell, he will be in trouble.

Wang Ke patiently told Wang Si how the two vases were made, what materials were used, and what kind of craft name they were called. Make a new thing for the emperor. It used to be those things every year. No matter how expensive the gift is, the emperor has more than us. The emperor is tired of watching it every day, and he will definitely not have any impression in his heart. Today Wouldn't it be no fun if you still gave it like this? That's why the boy came up with this method, to send something new to the emperor, and make the emperor feel that this year is different from previous years!"

What Wang Ke said is very reasonable, there are so many kinds every year, even if Comrade Li Er is not bored, Wang Si and the others are already bored, so it will appear that every year at this time, everyone will Thinking hard, thinking about what to give away.

But there are so many ministers in this court, even if I can think of it, others can also think of it. Every year at this time, gifts collide with cars, but there is no way to discuss this kind of thing with others, otherwise, once someone thinks of it When a new gift comes, several or more than a dozen of the same gift will appear in a short while.

Seeing Wang Si's silence, Wang Ke also knew that he had hit Wang Si's weakness, so he continued: "It's just that this is the first time my child has made this thing, and I don't have much experience in timing. , so while making this pair of vases, the child also asked the porcelain worker to fire a pair of porcelain vases, and planned to send the other pair of vases if the pair of vases could not be made on time. Didn't tell dad."

As soon as Wang Ke heard this, he didn't get angry. This kid has done too well. When is the time, he still hides it from himself. The family is really going to give Comrade Li Er a pair of porcelain vases, which is not an expensive gift.

Wang Si is in a pretty good mood now, anyway, this matter is considered a good result, so he doesn't have the heart to argue with Wang Ke, but he still doesn't agree with Wang Ke's idea of ​​giving a pair of porcelain vases , So I wanted to talk about Wang Ke in my heart.

Glancing at Wang Ke, Wang Si slowly said: "Ke'er, even if the pair of vases can't be made on time now, you can't just think about sending a pair of porcelain vases to the emperor! What's so good about these porcelain vases?" Yes, if you send it to the emperor, it won’t embarrass my royal family’s face.”

As soon as Wang Si's voice fell, he felt the steering wheel in Wang Ke's hand tilted to the side, and the car turned several times on the road. Wang Si was so frightened that he leaned back tightly on the back of the seat, and his feet Stretching forward, he pressed against the front wall of the carriage, his face turned pale with fright.

Wang Ke has always been good at driving, but today's situation happened because of Wang Si's words, which made him a little confused. He also knew that there was nothing good about porcelain in this era, but now he let It was fired by porcelain craftsmen, but blue and white porcelain is highly respected by later generations. Because the color of this kind of porcelain is quite in line with the Chinese aesthetic taste, it has become the mainstream of porcelain once it appeared.

Although blue and white porcelain had already appeared in the Tang Dynasty, it was not at this time after all, and the blue and white porcelain in the Tang Dynasty was not used much because of its small quantity, so not many people knew about it. Blue and white porcelain was also considered to be fired in the Ming Dynasty in the early days, and the appearance of blue and white porcelain has long been believed to have only appeared in the Ming Dynasty.

The blue and white porcelain that I am firing now, if I really take it out, I believe it will never be inferior to this pair of bodiless lacquerware, but in the eyes of Wang Si, this porcelain is nothing, that is to say, at this time. People really don't know much about porcelain. Wang Ke now begins to wonder why Tang Sancai, which is well-known in later generations, will become a funeral vessel instead of a home furnishings in this era. In addition to being convenient to make , the reason why it has been preserved for a long time, I think there should be some reasons for not paying attention to porcelain.

Just when the father and son were having their own concerns, the car also came to the gate of the palace. Seeing Nanping and the others standing outside the palace gate and not entering the palace, Wang Ke felt a little strange in his heart. do they go in?
Logically speaking, it shouldn't be. The guards of Nanping and Lanling should all know each other. They often enter the palace, and they have never seen anyone stop them from entering. Such a situation should not happen today.

Wang Ke drove the car to Nanping and stopped. After everyone got on the car, he drove the car in and asked Nanping: "Why don't you go into the palace and stand here? Could it be that these soldiers don't Let you in?"

Nan Ping explained with a smile: "Where did the general think about it? It's just that the mother-in-law and concubines want to go in together after the father-in-law and the general arrive. It's nothing to do with the soldiers guarding the gate."

As for Nanping's explanation, Wang Ke was relieved when he heard it. It was the truth that he thought just now. If he and Wang Si couldn't reach it, these women would not be of much use even if they went in. They just waited here. It still made Wang Ke feel a little uncomfortable. Anyway, his wife still has to feel sorry for himself. Standing here, there is no place to sit down and be comfortable after going in!

As soon as he came to the door of Comrade Li Er's imperial study, Wang Ke saw that many ministers had already arrived, and behind each of them were a few servants from their respective mansions. Without exception, everyone's feet or Behind them, there are one or two large boxes. One can tell at a glance that these are all intended for Comrade Li Er as a birthday present.

Wang Ke got out of the car as soon as she saw someone, but everyone was empty-handed and put all the gifts in the car without taking them out.

Today, the imperial study room is also filled with chairs to make it easier for the ministers who came to sit down, and the family members of each minister will be guided by a maid to the inner palace at the back. In Wang Ke's mind, it should be the Empress Changsun I went there, after all, men and women are different, and it is still impossible for the family members to sit here.

Seeing the Wang family's father and son coming, many ministers came over to greet them, and inquired about what the Wang family would give away. Wang Si had already been instructed by Wang Ke to keep the gifts from his family secret, even if it was Li Er's gift. When comrades arrived, they wouldn't have brought them out from the beginning. Now, no matter who asks, they just prevaricate with a haha.

However, everyone present at this time is well aware that no matter who asks about this at this time, it is impossible to easily tell others what I have prepared, so it is okay to ask if you can’t get an answer. What's the fuss, everyone will not change their face after being prevaricated, feeling that they have no face, they will just smile, turn around and talk to the person who just arrived, waiting for Comrade Li Er to arrive.

Wang Ke wandered around to find Li Ke, seeing him and a group of close friends talking nonsense there, so he jumped right in.

Seeing Wang Ke coming, this group of people also stepped forward to ask Wang Ke, wanting to know what gift Wang Ke brought Comrade Li Er this time.

As usual, Wang Ke talked about him from left to right, but he didn't say what he brought, which made Li Ke curl his lips and said: "Brother Wang just likes to play tricks, and I believe that Brother Wang will not have anything special this time." Things can be taken out, so I dare not tell us."

Wang Ke knew that this was Li Ke's provocative method, so he didn't refute it. He just smiled and didn't say a word, but said in his heart: "Now you can say whatever you want, and it won't be too late for you to see Comrade Li Er when Comrade Li Er arrives. !"

Just when everyone was chatting happily, Eunuch Yang's familiar voice sounded: "The emperor is here, and all civil and military officials kneel down to welcome him!"

During the conversation, there was no voice in the very lively courtyard just now, only the sound of clothes "shuashuashua" was heard, and everyone suddenly became shorter and fell to their knees on the ground.

Comrade Li Er came out of the imperial study room with a smile on his face, and said to the ministers kneeling on the ground: "My dear dears, I am in distress today. Thank you dear dears for coming, let's get up and talk first." .”

Everyone stood up after thanking them, and sat down in their respective positions. Wang Ke now has all the civil servants and military equipment, and it is really a bit particular about where to sit. He is still wearing military uniform now, and since Wang Si is in court, it is much more convenient for him to belong to the ranks of military officers.

Originally, Wang Ke also had his own little selfishness in this move, but in the eyes of others, it was a little different.

From Li Jing's point of view, Wang Ke's actions showed these people that he was still a member of the military, which made Li Jing secretly laugh.

From Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling's point of view, it's quite different. Comrade Li Er's order is very clear. Wang Ke is now a civil servant. What Wang Ke does now is to tell them, They were extremely dissatisfied with the result. The two frowned involuntarily at the same time, thinking in their hearts that they would have to talk to Comrade Li Er about this after the day was over. Assigning Wang Ke to the civil servants side also helped them deal with some government affairs.

Sitting there, Wang Ke was only thinking about when would be the best time for him to make a move. He never thought that such a little selfishness of his would make him the object of competition between civil servants and the army in the days to come. When I faced people from two camps at the same time, I needed to decide which side I belonged to, but I didn't want to offend either side. At that time, I really felt a little embarrassed.

At this time, according to the usual practice, of course it was Zhangsun Wuji and Li Jing who stood up and praised Comrade Li Er on behalf of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs.

To Wang Ke's ears, the civil servant and the military commander immediately distinguished themselves. Changsun Wuji's words were clear in grammar and beautiful in words, as if singing a hymn, and even Li Jing could be regarded as a military commander. Xiucai, the words he spoke still seemed to be lacking in words, showing a rough look, just a few sentences over and over again, the person who said it was drowsy, it sounded extremely boring.
