Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 597

Liu Xianglian didn't hide her intentions, and in order to appease Ye Siyang, he didn't intend to lie: "Second Brother Hong entrusted Xuanyilou to inquire about your whereabouts after he knew you had left, so he naturally knows what happened to you. He I'm busy in the capital, and I don't have time to come to see you, so let me see what's going on here first. Don't worry, there are people from Xuanyilou, and your sword will not be lost."

After hearing Liu Xianglian's explanation, Ye Siyang's complexion changed again and again, he bit his lip tightly, not even knowing that his lower lip was bitten, and did not speak with a pale face.

Liu Xianglian couldn't bear it very much, and persuaded: "Siyang, don't be like this, it's better to eat something well first, take a rest, and it's important to chase Qing Mingli back tomorrow."

Ye Siyang didn't look at him either, just nodded and said, "Let's go."

The people from Xuanyilou brought Ye Siyang and Liu Xianglian to the best inn in Yangqu County.As soon as Ye Siyang entered the door, she found that the bath water had been prepared behind the screen, and there was a maid waiting for her to take a bath.After taking a hot bath carefully, she changed into clean clothes, and even her hair was combed for her.

After cleaning himself up, Ye Siyang had another delicious meal.Originally thinking that he would fall asleep after lying on the bed, but Ye Siyang couldn't fall asleep.Xue Hong's bright face was like a demonic barrier that kept appearing in Ye Siyang's mind, disturbing her so much that she barely slept a wink all night.

In the early morning of the second day, Ye Siyang, who had panda eyes, met Liu Xianglian, who also had dark circles under her eyes. The two looked at each other with a slightly embarrassed smile, and embarked on a journey to find Qing Mingrui.

As for how they found Qing Mingli, let's put it aside for now, but another major event happened in the capital.

It wasn't anything else, but the Empress Dowager's health was getting worse and worse, almost to the point where medicine stones were no longer effective.

This empress dowager is from the natal family of Empress Wen of Xiaozhuang. If the empress dowager of Xiaozhuang is still alive, she will call her grandma.She is the successor queen of Emperor Shunzhi. Lord Kangxi ascended the throne at a young age, and his biological mother passed away soon after. It was the empress dowager who raised him as her own son.

Afterwards, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, the Empress Dowager, the grand-nephew of the same surname Borzigit, and the three generations of Grandfather Kangxi became a good story in the Qing court.

Naturally, this is recorded in the history books of later generations. At present... Although the Empress Dowager Borzigit is still alive, she is also at the end of her battle.But Lord Kangxi is in a hurry, he wants the empress dowager to live as long as possible, even though she is over 70 years old, but his filial piety to the empress dowager increases with age.

Especially after the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang passed away, the two of them grieved together, and the relationship became closer than before. Now that the Empress Dowager Borzigit was so seriously ill, Lord Kangxi almost died of distress.

He not only recruited all the famous doctors inside and outside the palace, but also prepared the empress dowager's catalpa, coffin, shroud and other things.

The concubines in the harem came to serve the sick in turn under the arrangement of the empress concubine De. The princes and princesses in the palace, as long as the empress dowager wanted to see someone when she was awake, whoever would appear by her side immediately. The Lord moved his official duties to the Palace of Compassion and Peace, and stayed by the Empress Dowager's side day and night.

It seems that people all over the world know that the Empress Dowager will die soon.In the palace, because Lord Kangxi was very sad, every day was gloomy, so everyone else looked worried, whether they were really worried about the health of the Empress Dowager and Lord Kangxi, or pretended to cater to the mood of Lord Kangxi. In this way, anyway, the atmosphere in the palace has been extremely solemn for several months, and there is a gray feeling everywhere.

But the folk atmosphere is quite opposite to that in the palace.

Because the news of the empress dowager's illness in the palace has already spread to the people, if she can't support herself and stretches her legs, then the Qing Dynasty will face three years of national mourning.The folks banned banquets, marriages, and wars within three years to express their condolences.This is a big event. Those who have unmarried children of the right age in the family will choose to hold the wedding at this time for fear that the children's marriage will be delayed. The children are married.

And the Xue family saw this opportunity precisely, prepared intensively for a period of time, and opened a wedding shop belonging to the Xue family in the capital, called Tianxian Liangyuan Xipu.

This wedding shop is also quite large, with eight different levels of packages. To put it simply, anyone who has a wedding in their family can choose a package that suits them and have a decent and affordable wedding if they enter this store. .

Seeing that the business in the shop was booming, Xue Pan patted Xue Hong on the shoulder with a smile: "In the end, it's your idea to let Xue Biao establish a talent training base belonging to our Xue family after he came back from Jiangnan. If not, it is really impossible to find the right time to open this wedding shop in such a short period of time. It is not difficult to purchase goods and the like. This talent is not so easy to find."

Xue Hong said: "My consideration is naturally reasonable. In the future, we will select some people with excellent business skills from among the existing employees to focus on training, and turn them into experienced lecturers, so the speed of training novices will be even faster. Soon. Oh, by the way, brother, I asked you to prepare more merchant ships and carriages, how are you doing?"

Xue Pan said: "I have found the best shipbuilder to build two transport ships according to the design you drew. If it can be done, the water transportation capacity of our Xue family caravan will be greatly improved. As for the carriage... ...I'm afraid your drawing is a bit complicated, but you haven't found a suitable craftsman to make it."

Xue Hong referred to some books and the modern industrial technology he had mastered. Without computer CAD drawing, it took a lot of effort to produce the two design drawings according to the drawing method of craftsmen in ancient times.The biggest highlight of the transport ship is that he designed a mast that can be lifted and stored, so that the ship can not only adapt to various water environments, but also be more flexible when passing through passes and bridges, and can minimize running time.

As for the carriage used for transportation, there is even a hidden mystery. Not only are various storage spaces installed on the carriage, but there are also various exquisite mechanical buttons, which are indeed more complicated and sophisticated than shipbuilding.
