Chapter 362 Double Standards
After knowing that Liulichang could not intervene, Jiang Zhengyuan did not continue to hold on. Although Xiao Yeyang was not favored by Prince Ping and had such a notorious mother, he could not say too much despite the emperor's protection.
However, I could only turn around and talk about Liuli.
"I heard that Liulichang has produced a batch of colored glaze?"
Xiao Yeyang nodded: "Not bad."
Jiang Zhengyuan smiled: "Your aunt and cousin both like glass utensils."
Xiao Yeyang looked embarrassed: "Although the Liulic Factory has started to produce colored glaze, the daily output is still very small. Most of this first batch of colored glaze has been sent to the capital. The remaining few will be prepared on the first day of August.
On that day, I will use it as an exhibit so that merchants from all over the world can see the quality."
The smile on Jiang Zhengyuan's face faded: "Aren't you going to give away thirteen sets for free?"
Xiao Yeyang: "It is true that there is such a thing. This is also a method I heard from a friend, which can expand Liulichang's popularity faster."
Jiang Zhengyuan snorted: "The first Liulichang in Daxia, isn't its name famous enough? Why does it need to expand its reputation?"
Xiao Yeyang smiled faintly: "Yes, there are indeed many people who know Liulichang, but most of them come from wealthy families, and ordinary people don't know."
Jiang Zhengyuan was stunned for a moment, then sneered: "Why, you still want to sell colored glaze to ordinary people? Can they afford it?"
Xiao Yeyang: "Whether we can afford it or not is another matter. Let them know that we have our own Liulichang. This is still necessary."
Jiang Zhengyuan frowned, but did not refute this.
Xiao Yeyang didn't want to waste any more words, so he thought for a while and said: "There really isn't much colored glaze left in the factory. So, I squeezed out a tea set from the exhibits, and my second cousin helped me take it back to my second cousin's aunt, etc.
In the future, when the factory produces more colored glaze wares, I will open a special store in the provincial capital, and then let my second cousin and my cousin Wanying pick them out."
Jiang Zhengyuan felt a little uncomfortable hearing these words.
What does it mean to squeeze out a tea set?
If you can give away thirteen sets for free, how many sets can't you spare for them?
Listening to his tone, it’s hard to believe.
Also, there are so many glazed utensils, why do you have to go to the store to choose them? Can't they be sent directly to his home? Do you have to pay money when you go to the store to choose?
This Xiao Yeyang, after coming to Zhongzhou for a few years, has become petty and petty.
Yes, Zhongzhou is not as good as Beijing.
In the capital, no matter how much Prince Ping dislikes his legitimate son, for the sake of the emperor and the queen mother, as well as the reputation of Prince Ping's palace, he will not deduct too much from his expenses.
But when he came to Zhongzhou, the sky was high and the emperor was far away. Prince Ping might have forgotten this legitimate son. In these years, he had never heard of Prince Ping taking the initiative to care about his son.
Forget it, just one set.
This is also a poor baby. If his father doesn’t love his mother, he has to be more careful.
Xiao Yeyang was speechless when he saw Jiang Zhengyuan looking at him with sympathy. After thinking about it for a moment, he knew why.
No way, he was not unfamiliar with such a look. After his mother left the palace, she had been following him. Even when he later moved into the palace, the situation continued unabated.
Yes, the legitimate son of a dignified prince lives worse than a bastard. He has a home and cannot return. Isn’t that worthy of sympathy?
A few years ago, he thought so too, until Daohua told him that it is better to rely on others than to rely on yourself. Don't worry about other people's things, even if they belong to your parents. He can create what he wants by himself. The resentment accumulated in his heart finally came to an end.
Eliminate it bit by bit.
Without expectations, there will be no disappointment.
He wanted to see his father again, so that he would not be angry again.
"Second cousin, I have some things to do here, so I can't accompany you."
Jiang Zhengyuan also wanted to visit Ningmen Mansion. He heard that the newly appointed prefect Yan Zhigao was quite capable, because he had high-yield grain seeds in his hands. As soon as he came here, he encouraged the refugees to open up wasteland, which solved a lot of potential safety hazards.
A few days ago, I said that I have found crops suitable for planting in sandy soil, and the results will be visible in October. I don’t know if this is true?
"That's fine, you can do your work and I'll go out for a walk."
Xiao Yeyang stood up and sent Jiang Zhengyuan off. After he left, he frowned and said, "There wasn't much left of the first batch of colored glaze. Now we have lost another set of tea sets, and the exhibits have to be reduced."
Defu glanced at his master and reminded in a low voice: "Master, you can choose something from the utensils reserved for Miss Yan..."
"No!"
Xiao Yeyang made a direct decision: "I don't think I have enough of the colored glaze left for Daohua. How can I get more out of it? No, I have to go to the warehouse to take a look and select a few more, lest the guy doesn't have enough.
”
Upon hearing this, Defu's expression became numb.
He now knows how much his master has double standards.
The master felt so heartbroken when he gave the Jiang family a set of tea sets, but this morning Zhao Zhong sent a cart of glazed tiles and glazed windows to Miss Yan. At that time, the master still felt that it was not enough.
If Mr. Yan and Mrs. Li were not worried that they would think it was too expensive, they would have even sent them the sets of glass utensils they selected early in the morning.
That posture makes you want to empty out the warehouse.
......
Yanfu.
While Daohua was watching Zhao Zhong install the window for herself, Dong Yuanyao and Su Shiyu were led to the Yan family by Mrs. Dong.
"Isn't it not on sale yet? Why have you started installing it here?"
Dong Yuanyao dragged Su Shiyu to Daohua Pavilion before Mrs. Li called her.
Seeing the two of them, Daohua looked surprised: "Why are you here?"
Dong Yuanyao ran straight to look at the glass window, but Su Shiyu said with a smile: "Isn't it your birthday the day after tomorrow? Let's come over to celebrate your birthday with you and buy some glass by the way."
Daohua smiled and said: "It's only convenient to celebrate my birthday, right? Why did you go so far just to buy colored glaze?"
Dong Yuanyao turned back: "Don't be so mean as to be a donkey. It's true to celebrate your birthday, and of course it's true to buy colored glaze. We can do both together without conflict."
"Yes, yes, what you Miss Dong said is reasonable."
Daohua smiled and pulled the two of them into the house, and told Guyu and Lixia to make tea and snacks.
"Why is your house so bright?"
As soon as the three of them entered the room, Dong Yuanyao screamed in surprise.
Daohua smiled and pointed to the roof.
Dong Yuanyao's eyes widened: "This is a glazed tile, I'm going to install this tomorrow too."
Su Shiyu looked at it with a smile and said: "The young prince built Xiangyang Glazed Factory, which is very convenient for us. We wanted to buy it before, but we had no way."
Dong Yuanyao pouted: "The young prince is really unfavorable to one another. I asked my brother to help me beg for colored glaze before, but he refused directly."
Daohua was stunned: "Is there anything else?" After saying that, he paused and couldn't help but explain for Xiao Yeyang, "Xiao Yeyang is not a stingy person. It should be that the first batch of colored glaze produced was relatively small, so
That’s why I refused.”
Dong Yuanyao's mouth became even more pouted: "If you give it to us, Liuli will give birth to less, so if you give it to you, Liuli will give birth to more?"
Daohua choked and said with a smile: "He...this is my birthday gift. If you celebrate your birthday during this period, he will definitely give it to you."
Dong Yuanyao curled his lips: "Don't mention his distinction. The young prince and you are both the same, favoring one over the other."
Daohua quits: "Why do I favor one over the other?"
Dong Yuanyao: "I heard from Brother Su that the medicinal diet you make is only for your three brothers and the young prince, but not for my brother and Brother Su."
Daohua was silent and explained: "This is not because Xiao Yeyang is alone in Zhongzhou, and there is no elder around him to take care of him. I think he is pitiful, so I take more care of him."
Dong Yuanyao was speechless: "How pitiful is the young prince? Which of your eyes sees him as pitiful?"
Daohua: "I have seen it with both eyes. Because of Xiao Yeyang's status, he does not lack money for food and drink, but he has no relatives around to care about him."
"Unlike Brother Dong, Brother Su, etc., when they are tired or sick, they will have parents and relatives to comfort and ask for help. When they encounter problems, there are people who can discuss and rely on. Xiao Yeyang only has himself, and he can only do everything alone.
Isn’t it pitiful to bear it and carry it?”
Hearing this, Dong Yuanyao fell silent, and Su Shiyu was also a little stunned.
They really never thought about this.
Daohua: "So, shouldn't I take more care of him?"
Dong Yuanyao: "...Then you can also take care of my brother and the others."
Daohua said confidently: "That's too inappropriate. I've taken care of it, so what are you going to do?"
Dong Yuanyao looked at Daohua with a speechless expression.
