[Red House] Lixian

Luo Ruhua is known as the flower of humanity, and only the state-owned literati can have this flower bloom.The latest evidence-based Luo Ruhua bloomed was in the period of Emperor Wen.

The flowers bloomed side by side, and were presented to the Daming Palace by the governor of Yangzhou to celebrate the fact that the two emperors stood side by side.

However, according to historical records, the blossoming of flowers and peduncles symbolizes the appearance of a woman, which is the appearance of a literati in Kunyin.Reminiscent of the background at that time, Luo Ruhua's blooming is most likely a hint of the talent of the four concubines in the future.

Plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum have been loved by literati since ancient times, and they are also called "Four Gentlemen".Among the four concubines, Concubine Mei is the head, she is in charge of the humanities of Kunyin, she is known as Master Mei, and she is widely known as a virtuous person.

But she also has three partners by her side, among which Concubine Xiang, the bamboo concubine, has the best relationship with her.Concubine Bamboo, who is good at civil engineering, is a female sage enshrined in the construction industry and shipbuilding industry in later generations.

——————— "Historical History of Situ Jiangshan"

There are three fires for a new official to take office, but the new emperor dare not do so when he ascends the throne.

Not changing the father's ways for three years is the foundation of filial piety and a political choice.

Now the people in the court are all handpicked by the old emperor himself, and they will be driven out immediately and replaced by his own people. This is waiting to be deposed!

After all, the Forbidden Army is still in the hands of the old emperor.What Situ Yun can do is to moisten things silently and slowly arrange his own hands.

He first brought his family members to the East Palace, and soon entered the main hall of Daming Palace.The Taishanghuang moved to the Taiji Pavilion at the back to enjoy Qingfu.

"Situ Yun is in charge, your unmarried concubine's position is a bit embarrassing." Tao Ping and Wei Qian were playing chess in the Wei Mansion.Tao Ping said, "What? Do you want to marry?"

"Brother Ying is old, and he will be able to support the family in a few years. If Situ Yun ascends the throne two years later, I can escape by feigning death and go overseas to carry out our great cause. But now, I still feel a little worried."

"Jade is not perfect, you have helped your aunt to support Weifu for many years, and it is time to let go. Just let Weiying stand up and support Weifu. Your daughter's family has been wise since childhood, and your younger brother is so poor." Where are you going?"

Wei Qian hesitated endlessly, playing chess in a mess.Next to her, Xiangling hurriedly made tea to calm her down.

Seeing that the teapot was empty, Xiang Ling went out to fetch water, and happened to meet Hong Chun who came in holding the blueprint: "Miss is in there?"

"Yes, playing chess with Princess Ping."

Hongchun nodded, and walked in immediately: "Miss, the identity of Mr. Zhu has been found!" Hongchun has been helping Wei Qian with her accounts for the past few years, and she has gradually cultivated it. She has the temperament of a future generation's bone spirit .

"Found it?" Wei Qianxiao thought about Mr. Kuzhu who was good at shipbuilding for a long time, and when he heard this, he immediately wiped the chessboard: "Tao Ping, I can't play anymore. I will give you the bottle of plum blossom essence later."

"I didn't win. I don't feel like that at all." Tao Ping threw the chess piece and looked at Hongchun: "Tell me, where is that person? Your lady has been searching for this person for a long time. Even our chess pieces are missing." No more."

"It's far away in the sky, but it's close in front of you." Hongchun sighed, "Miss, you always thought that Mr. Sufferer's handwriting was familiar, why didn't you start with the people around you?"

"By my side? I don't have many men around me, where do I start? It can't be Ying'er, right?"

Hongchun spread out the drawing: "This is a drawing drawn by Mr. Kuzhu recently. It is not a shipbuilding, but a wooden house building. I thought the drawing was good, so I tried to find it. Look at the signature——"

Pointing to the last signature, Wei Qian scrutinized it carefully: "This bamboo character seems to be..."

"It's that young lady." Hongchun took out another poem manuscript: "This is the manuscript written by Miss Gu Jia and left here with us, please take a look."

"Although it may be a coincidence, if the other words are also correct, then it is not a coincidence." Hong Chun flipped through Gu Zhenzhen's handwriting that had been left on Wei Qian's side in the past.Find the four words "bitterness, bamboo, first, life" from those poems.

The strokes and writing style are exactly the same.

"Gu Zhenzhen? This is really someone close to me." Wei Qian suddenly felt ridiculous.In the past, I didn't think about this when looking for people, but now I cleared the fog.is not that right?The man who is proficient in shipbuilding skills is his close friend.

"Hongchun, prepare the sedan chair, let's go to the ancient mansion!"

Immediate action, Tao Ping thought about it, and followed the two to the ancient mansion to look for Gu Zhenzhen.

At this time, the ancient mansion was very lively, a group of people surrounded Gu Zhenzhen, and Gu Zhenzhen stood on the rockery in the center of the mansion: "My girl, tell me, I don't want to marry! If the father insists on forcing her, then the daughter will only marry her." I can remonstrate with death!"

Mrs. and Mrs. Gu and his wife on the shore comforted him with panicked faces, and Gu Zhenzhen's elder brother hurriedly sent people into the water.

"Don't come over!" Seeing the servants going into the water to pick her up, Gu Zhenzhen immediately took off her shoes: "Come one more step, and I'll jump right away!"

Gu Zhenzhen was able to play with Wei Qian and Wang Xifeng, but she was also a fortitude.

When Wei Qian and the three daughters came to the ancient mansion, they happened to see the scene where Gu Zhenzhen was about to dive into the water.

"Tao Ping, prepare to save someone!" Wei Qian yelled in a low voice, Tao Ping stepped on Hong Chun's shoulder, jumped up, and performed lightness kung fu to jump onto the rockery: "Sister of the Gu family, let's have a good talk if you have anything to say." Holding Gu Zhenzhen in her arms, she fell from the rockery to Wei Qian's side.

It was inconvenient for Wei Qian to show off her profound skills, and Tao Ping was a Jianghu woman who was proficient in martial arts in the impression of various families in Jinling. She even made friends with Miss Wei Qian and often played together, so no one else suspected it.

Seeing Wei Qian's visit, Mr. Gu waved his sleeves: "Niece, I will leave this girl to you. How can she go back on her parents' order and matchmaker's words?" After speaking, he took everyone away.

Mrs. Gu held Wei Qian's hand: "You girl has always had a good time with her, please persuade her more. We parents can still harm her? Didn't you and Feng girl also make a marriage contract at the order of their parents? Isn't it good?" After speaking, he also left with his maidservant to clean up the aftermath.

"What's going on, they got engaged to you?" Wei Qian asked in a low voice.

"Don't pay attention to them." With a cold face, Gu Zhenzhen pulled Wei Qian and the three daughters to her boudoir: "Yesterday, someone came to propose marriage, and my father agreed because of his good family background."

Gu Zhenzhen was about the same age as Wei Qian, both in their teens.But according to today's customs, both of them can be regarded as big girls.

Because of Wei Qian's observance of filial piety twice, and the change in the marriage contract, it has been delayed until now.If Situ Yun hadn't proposed marriage in the first place, someone would have broken through the door long ago.And Gu Zhenzhen also kept filial piety for her grandmother back then, so the wedding date has been postponed until now.

"Speaking of which, it's still your fault." Gu Zhenzhen said angrily, "If His Highness the Seventh Highness hadn't ascended the throne, and you, the future empress, would be by your side, why would those two big mountains of my family rush to marry me off?"

"When you're old and don't marry, what do you want to do?"

"It's not interesting to marry. Just like my sister-in-law, every day the parents are short-sighted and behave by mother's side?" Gu Zhenzhen said disdainfully: "With this skill, I might as well—" Suddenly reacting, she changed her words and said: "I'm still Why don't you read more books."

How about doing more carpentry?

"Don't talk about me, why did you come to see me?" Gu Zhenzhen let go of her melancholy and asked Wei Qian instead.

"I have a shipyard under my name. I received a few blueprints a few days ago and thought they looked familiar, so I came to you to have a look."

Shipyard?Gu Zhenzhen's complexion changed, Wei Qian and the three of them had a clue in their hearts.Wei Qian asked Hongchun to bring the drawings: "I saw that the handwriting was familiar, so I came here to ask."

Is it the sisters in the boudoir? Gu Zhenzhen said suddenly after being silent: "That shipyard belongs to you?"

"It's mine. I'll ask my cousin to take care of it." Wei Qian said, "Our family has a commercial business, so we have research on shipbuilding."

"It was drawn by me." Gu Zhenzhen ordered someone to take out an unfinished drawing in her hand: "If I knew it was your shipyard, I wouldn't need to bother so much, so I intentionally concealed my name and submitted the drawing."

Looking at the drawings, it is indeed the same style as Mr. Kuzhu.

"If I had known earlier that it was your blueprint, I would have let you invest directly." Wei Qian looked regretful, if she had found Gu Zhenzhen to join her plan earlier, maybe the process would have been faster.

"But you don't seem to have shown any talent in this area since you were a child. Do you like shipbuilding?"

Gu Zhenzhen said: "It's not shipbuilding, our family has a long history of learning, it seems to be the descendant of Mo Di."

Mo Di!

Wei Qian was in awe.Mo Di was born in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and he was the patriarch of the Mo School, one of the two great schools at the time.The establishment of the Great Qin Empire also owed a contribution to the Mohism.

"Grandpa said that, does anyone know? After all, it was thousands of years ago." Gu Zhenzhen laughed at herself, got up and turned a red sandalwood incense burner to the side.

The bookcase in the corner of the boudoir creaked, and a small door opened: "Come here, and take you to my studio."

Surprised, Wei Qian went down with Gu Zhenzhen.Tao Ping, Hong Chun and Gu Zhenzhen's maid followed.

After walking up dozens of spiral steps, you come to the basement.

"Look for yourselves." Gu Zhenzhen lit the oil lamp, and Wei Qian's eyes lit up as she looked around.

The underground workshop is very large, occupying about the same area as the boudoir above.In the center there is a miniature keel, which appears to be the main frame of the ship.There are saw blades, ink fountains and other tools next to it.There are many civil engineering books on the bookshelf on the other side.

"My grandfather saw that I was talented when I was young, so he secretly passed on my carpentry skills. It's just that my mother didn't like it. Later, my grandfather built this secret room and led to him secretly, so he could teach me skills at night."

"So, it's not just shipbuilding?"

"In addition to shipbuilding, does your shipyard accept other drawings?"

It is precisely because it is submitted to the shipyard that the drawings of the shipbuilding have been used.

"Bows and arrows, furniture, everything is fine." Wei Qian's eyes sparkled, and she looked at Gu Zhenzhen with bright eyes: "I will buy all the designs you have, and help you experiment with the construction. I believe that this is the craftsman's favorite, right?"

The two have known each other since childhood, and Gu Zhenzhen was not polite to Wei Qian: "One of the prerequisites is to find a way to settle my marriage. You are the future empress, so it shouldn't be difficult to find a way to blow up this marriage, right?"

"Is it just a matter of blowing up this marriage, or do you want to never get married?"

"It's best if you don't get married, so as not to delay my research."

Research talents!This is what I need!

Wei Qian pondered: "I have an idea here, but you will need to leave home temporarily for a few years in the future, and fall out with your family."

"You want to take me to elope?" Gu Zhenzhen frowned: "Filial piety comes first, it is impossible for me to leave my parents and leave with you and hide in other places."

"Then get married, later you agree to the marriage, and then I'll grab the marriage!" Saying this, Wei Qian tore off the jewelry on her head and tied up her hair: "Look, is this dressed like a man? "
