Chapter 126 A sudden turn of events, no loss this time!

Maybe Guo Baokun's look was too disappointed, which Wang Shan couldn't bear, so Wang Shan carefully reminded, "Actually, some precious woods are more valuable than jade and gold, and they are rarer, so Mr. Guo, if you just want the ruler If it is more expensive, you can choose a piece of precious wood to build it, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs has a lot of precious wood in its collection. Some of the wood is priceless, but it can be estimated!"

"Really!" Guo Baokun's eyes lit up instantly. He didn't expect such twists and turns. It seemed that he couldn't lose money.

"Then what kind of precious wood is suitable for making a ruler? The key point is that it must be expensive, understand?" Guo Baokun took a deep look at the old man in front of him, hoping that he would understand and understand that the key point is the word "precious".

"Both Hainan huanghuali and rosewood are acceptable. In terms of material texture, small-leaf rosewood is more suitable. It is superior in terms of hardness, softness and fineness; but in terms of medicinal value, the aroma of huanghuali is good. Regulating the human body is of great benefit to people!" Wang Shan went ahead and directly analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of precious wood.

"Okay, then use Hainan Huanghuali!" Guo Baokun immediately agreed with Wang Shan's suggestion with a smile.

"Master Xiao Guo, please come here to select and see which piece of huanghuali wood you need." Wang Shan guided Guo Baokun to a warehouse and pointed inside to introduce the wood inside to Guo Baokun.

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs is indeed extremely rich!" Guo Baokun followed Wang Shan into the warehouse. He looked at the warehouse full of wood with wide glasses and sighed with emotion.

"Forget it, you are an expert, help me choose the most expensive and best-quality piece of wood. I won't choose anymore. I am dazzled by the choices!" Guo Baokun looked at the piled wood and really didn't have the patience to choose it by himself. , and had no choice but to ask Wang Shan to choose for him.

"Master Xiao Guo, please wait a moment, I'll be right back!" Wang Shan walked straight to a piece of wood, picked it up, and returned directly to Guo Baokun. It seemed that he was very familiar with the wood here. Knowing the value of each piece of wood, there is no need to look for it.

"Master Xiao Guo, let's go back!" Wang Shan led Guo Baokun back to the craftsman's workshop again and started directly making the ruler.

It only took half an hour for a brand new ruler to take shape. Wang Shan was seen brushing tung oil on the ruler and doing various maintenance, making it more beautiful and durable.

"Master Xiao Guo, what do you think?" Wang Shan handed the ruler to Guo Baokun with a confident look on his face.

"Yes, but it's too simple!" Looking at the ring ruler in front of him, Guo Baokun really couldn't figure out what was wrong with it. He just thought that with such a simple and plain ring, it would be difficult for people to know the preciousness and value of the ring ruler.

"What do you mean?" Wang Shan looked at Guo Baokun and felt speechless. He was very disappointed that his craftsmanship was not appreciated at all.

"Why don't you add a jade pendant!" Guo Baokun suggested directly as he thought about getting another handful.

"Okay, what kind of jade did you choose, and what style do you want?" Wang Shan completely satisfied Guo Baokun's request. After all, with His Majesty's orders, no one would blame him for wasting it, so why should he stop it.

"Want a jade cicada? Is there any Hotan jade?" Guo Baokun opened his mouth and said Hetian Nuanyu. Hetian jade is the best among jade, and warm jade is the only one in ten thousand, so Hetian Nuanyu is simply the best. It is a priceless treasure.

"Yes, there is. A few days ago, the eldest princess donated a Hotan Nuanyu jade cicada, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs only has this one!" Wang Shan did not expect that the young man in front of him was so greedy for money, so he directly said "Hetian Nuanyu" .

"That's it!" Guo Baokun didn't expect that there really was one, so he asked for the jade cicada very resolutely.

"But where is the eldest princess?" Wang Shan was worried. After all, the eldest princess Li Yunrui is in charge of the inner treasury and is in charge of most of the royal family's money. It is difficult for him to account for this jade cicada without her consent.

"Why does your majesty's decree still require the consent of the eldest princess?" Guo Baokun directly copied Emperor Qing's order. After all, the head of the royal family is Emperor Qing. How can the eldest princess be compared with Emperor Qing.

"I'll get it for you right now!" Wang Shan thought of the Emperor Qing's decree explained by Eunuch Hou, and immediately understood who he should listen to, and went to get the jade cicada without saying a word.

. . . . . .

In the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Qing sat at the table without any imperial image, holding an arrowhead in his hand and polishing it patiently on the grindstone while casually asking about Guo Baokun's situation.

"What's wrong? Guo Baokun's ruler is made of jade and gold!"

"Your Majesty, the master craftsmen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs rejected the suggestion of using jade and gold to make the ruler, and instead used huanghuali. Mr. Xiao Guo also decorated a jade cicada made of Hetian warm jade, which was presented by the eldest princess. , this is the only one in the Ministry of Internal Affairs!" Eunuch Hou informed Emperor Qing of all the news he had just received.

"Li Yunrui donated it. Go and tell her that this Hetian Nuanyu jade cicada was awarded to Guo Baokun by me. I don't want any misunderstanding!!!" Emperor Qing thought of Li Yunrui's domineering temper and immediately gave the order. Waiting for the father-in-law.

"Here!" Mr. Hou immediately responded, keeping Emperor Qing's instructions in mind.

"In addition, all the spies from the Guo Mansion should be withdrawn. In the future, we can pay more attention to the news related to Guo Baokun. I want to know it as soon as possible, but I cannot place spies in the Guo Mansion." Emperor Qing carefully gave the details to Eunuch Hou. Guo Youzhi, as the Ministry of Rites It is normal for the Shangshu Mansion to have spies from the Inspection Institute and the royal family, but it is different now. Guo Baokun is already the Grand Master, and no one can be too careful about matters involving the Grand Master.

"Yes!" Although Eunuch Hou was doubtful about Emperor Qing's actions and arrangements, as a close attendant who had been with Emperor Qing for decades, he knew what to ask and what not to ask. As long as it was ordered by Emperor Qing, he would just follow it. Just do it, curiosity is not something someone like him can have.

"Your Majesty, a small incident happened in the Guo Mansion recently. The housekeeper of the Guo Mansion was bullying the people in Fang City. A young man named Teng Zijing beat the housekeeper because of his injustice. The housekeeper relied on the power of the Guo Mansion and took him into Kyoto. He was sentenced to death in the Mansion Prison. Teng Zijing was rescued by the Inspection Institute and is now at home. Master Guo and Master Xiao Guo should not know about it yet!" Eunuch Hou truthfully told Emperor Qing the whole story and asked for instructions. What should Emperor Qing do?

"A housekeeper who is nothing more than a slave dares to bully others. He deserves to be damned! Teng Zijing is somewhat like a man from Daqing. But since it is a private matter of the Guo Mansion, the master of the Guo Mansion should handle it himself. When you send Guo Baokun out of the palace, , remind him!" Emperor Qing thought for a moment, and still felt that it would be better for the Guo Mansion to handle this matter himself.
