Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 492 Antler Chair

In the following month, Concubine Nian really spread the good news, and under the brilliant diagnosis of the imperial physician, the careful care of Yinzhen, and the meticulous care of all the sisters in the mansion, Concubine Nian felt that she was pregnant. I was happy, my wish was fulfilled for a while, and I thought that I had contributed to the prescription in Yuanchun, so my attitude towards Yuanchun was indeed much softer.Everything in Prince Yong's Mansion seemed to be performed according to the established script.

Leaving aside the matter of Prince Yong's Mansion, Xue Hong has been thinking about it all the time. A big event about Babeile is about to happen, so he can't help thinking about it.

On this day, Xue Hong entered the space, took out more than 40 pairs of large antlers he had accumulated, and prepared to make some antler chairs.

In my previous life, I have seen chairs made of big antlers in Shenyang Forbidden City and Xue Hong in BJ's Forbidden City.The shape of these chairs looks very much like a grand master's chair, except that the four legs, the backrest, and the armrests are made of several antlers, and the leather seat is embedded in the shape of the horns; The back of the seat is also tenoned with antlers and embedded with a leather backrest.

Deer, especially the antlers of stags, were a symbol of bravery and proficiency in hunting for the Manchu nobles. Chairs made of deer antlers were also very popular among the Manchu nobles.

However, it is not easy to get large antlers that can be used to make antlers chairs. The pair of antlers must be large, regular and without any obvious damage.When male deer reach adulthood, they will fight with each other every time they compete for territory and courtship. It is rare to see antlers without scars.Moreover, the stag's antlers are not allowed to grow. When they grow to a certain size, the stag will sharpen them by itself when it feels that it is too bulky, or simply break off the overly large antlers and grow new ones.Therefore, antlers suitable for making deer antler chairs are rare and rare. This is why although there are more than one handed down antler chairs, the best ones are becoming increasingly rare and rare.

Xue Hong holds more than 40 pairs of antlers. From his own point of view, each pair can be used to make antler chairs.The reason why he has so many is because a lot of deer were thrown into the space, and it didn't take long for it to become a herd of deer.

Whenever his barbecue shop in Beijing needs to use venison, he will let Ming Ye catch some stags to hunt. First, if there are more stags in the space, there will be more deer herds. If there are too many stags, it will flood. There are many useful things that can be taken from a stag, such as deer whip, antler, antler, antler glue, antler cream, deer blood, deer brain, deer tail, deer kidney, deer tendon, deer fat, venison, deer head meat, deer bone, deer Tooth, deer pulp, etc. can be used as medicine.

There are relatively few hunting areas for female deer, and most of them are eaten by wild beasts in the space. Some deer fetuses were hunted to make deer fetuses in order to make fetal protection medicine, and they were used to make deer fetus ointment.

Therefore, Xue Hong has accumulated more than 40 pairs of high-quality antlers that came and went again and again.

He just sold these antlers, which is a very objective sum, but he still found skilled craftsmen, the best pairs of those antlers, and rushed to make them day and night. Jehol made this chair before.

When Prince Yong saw this antler chair, his eyes lit up: "Xue Hong, where did you get this thing? Emma Huang will definitely like it very much!"

Xue Hong said: "My lord, I wonder if this chair can be exchanged for the student's chance to go out with you this time? The lord knows that the Yan family is kind and loving, and never wants to let the students go high and wide. The student thinks, if the lord speaks, the family will Yan will definitely give the prince face and let the students go out to see and see. The prince knows that he knows that he will be locked in the study all day long, and he will be bored to death. And the students think, what is it? The book of sages' will only turn into a fool who only knows how to read, how can he help the king if he doesn't even know the affairs of the world?"

Prince Yong couldn't help but laugh after hearing this: "You boy, you have put so much thought into it, but you just want to go out for a walk?"

"Hey~ how could the prince say that, why did he call you to go out for a stroll? It's not like the students have never been out before, but is it the same to go out with the family and go out with the prince? Going out with the prince can give you more experience. This is a once-in-a-lifetime event It’s a good opportunity for students, but the students are just taking out the lucky money they have saved for so many years, and trusting someone to make such a good chair to get such a rare opportunity, it is said that the students have made money!”

Prince Yong knew that Xue Hong was flattering him, but felt that he was very useful to him as a horse, so he nodded happily: "This prince should tell your father about this matter. You don't care about your age this year. But you already have the fame of juren. Although a capable minister in governing the world must devote himself to studying hard, you can't rush for success. I think Feng Ziying and Jia Lian have followed me by my side when you were your age, and helped me as aides. This king is doing something, it doesn't make sense that the two of them can do it, but you can't, right? Just go with this king this time, don't worry about your father refusing."

Xue Hong was overjoyed after hearing this: "Thank you for your trust, the students must live up to the expectations of the prince. Uh, there is one more thing, the students want to ask the prince, is the prince planning to present this antler chair to the emperor?"

Prince Yong nodded: "Naturally. As a minister, as a son, if you get such a good thing, shouldn't you give it to Huang Ama right away?"

Xue Hong said with a smile: "It's really rare for the prince to have a pure heart. However, the students think that the prince does not need to give this chair to the emperor right now. Otherwise, the prince will take out this chair someday when the emperor gets angry. Wouldn't it be better to come and make the Emperor happy?"

"Huang Ama is angry? What kind of atmosphere will he get?"

"This...students don't know either. I just think that the emperor might...be angry if he has the chance."

Prince Yong looked at Xue Hong with a smile: "You are so clever, did you think of something else? If you have something to say, just say it, this king doesn't like to show off."

Xue Hong scratched her head: "Hey, that... It's just a little thought of the students. The students feel that the emperor is very dissatisfied with some of the actions of the eighth elder brother recently. If we can take advantage of this tour If you have an opportunity to find a way to add fuel to the already discordant relationship between the emperor and the eighth elder brother, is it possible that the eighth master's party, which is the greatest threat to you, may be hit hard again?"

After hearing this, Prince Yong looked solemn and said: "Well, this is a good idea. Please be more specific."
