Chapter 833: Haze Passes and Relaxes
Building a new carriage is actually quite fast, especially under the premise of having complete style drawings, the carpenters prepare materials according to the drawings, and the new four-wheeled flat carriage is built in a few days' work, because of the necessary spacing between the front and rear wheels, so the four-wheeled carriage is longer and wider than the two-wheeled, and can carry more things, and the horse pulling the carriage has also been replaced by a high-class service horse with a horseback and an adult man, of course, the price of this horse is also very good-looking, but for the sake of its strong skeleton, the strength is easy to drive, and the money is still worth it.
The next step of the new car is to test drive in the streets of the capital, the car is built into a hill with sandbags, and the two drivers take turns to drive the car, wandering around the streets and alleys of the capital to test the stability of the new car, and I don't know how many passers-by are attracted along the way, and they are amazed by the four-wheeled carriage that can turn.
The wooden wheels are actually bumpy on the bluestone road in the city, and the relationship between the front and rear wheels, a ditch has to bump twice, but the force of each bump is half less than that of the two-wheeled carriage, so it will feel a lot smoother, and the same road is not as bumpy as before.
The first large greenhouse has also been built in these days, a large fully transparent house of the old man, which has made a separate trapdoor, divided the large greenhouse into several sections, and hired the old people in the workshop who used to grow vegetables for a living to try to plant these seeds from foreign countries, because when I bought the seeds, I made detailed notes, and Bai Ko divided the seeds according to the length of the root system and planting conditions, and also prepared wooden frames and soil boxes, and the rest was handed over to these old people who have dealt with the land all their lives. At the same time, a second greenhouse is being built, and if any of the seeds are successfully planted, they will be transplanted into this second greenhouse.
These things were not hidden from Gu Yun, Gu Yun knew that Bai Ko's plan was advancing steadily, and his heart was full of mixed feelings, and he was constantly entangled, and the palace chief was helpless to know his thoughts, and the unaware others were already imagining what exotic plants could be cultivated in the huge glass house.
Gu Yun's workshop had another big news, and the saint who had been concerned about it naturally heard about it, knowing that this was Bai Ko's means to solve the spice problem, and secretly praised this little girl for really taking advantage of the conditions to find a way.
As the days passed, seeing that the date of Liang Zhongshan's funeral was getting closer and closer, the Liang family was full of thought that Tong Mingli had accumulated the poison that killed them, and their attitude towards her couldn't help but be much more pleasant.
The day of the funeral has finally come, Liang Zhongshan has no descendants, but the scene of the funeral is still very large, the clansmen and relatives set up the road sacrifice, and the long procession blew out of the city gate and went to the ancestral tomb of the Liang family.
Shi Tianmin was entrusted by his uncle and aunt to take a day off to send the funeral, but the boys under his uncle's knees were less than ten years old, and his sister-in-law was even younger, so he called him a representative in order to avoid the child being frightened, and he got Liang Zhongshan's inheritance, it is reasonable to be a representative, and at the same time he was a relative sent by the deceased's sister, Shi Tianmin also followed the team to the grave, and set off early in the morning and returned to the city in the evening, tired and his back hurt, and the next day he vomited bitterness with people in Fuxue, which made everyone laugh.
Liang Zhongshan's funeral was completed, Tong Mingli returned to her parents' house with the luggage and dowry that had already been packed in the morning, and her household registration was completed by her mother's family for her as early as the day after Liang Zhongshan took her breath, and she was just doing her last moral duty during the whole funeral.
The Liang family and Princess Yu are pinching the days to count Tong Mingli to death from poison one day, and Tong Mingli happily bathed and cleaned herself as soon as she returned to her parents' house, changed into brightly colored new clothes, combed her new hair, and swept away the haze added to her eyebrows for more than two months after marriage, and she was a bright and youthful girl.
After talking to her mother, Tong Mingli sat in the room to rest, spread a pen and paper to write a letter to Ning Peilan, and wanted to invite the sisters of the Pomegranate Club to come out and have fun together.
Ning Peilan was also full of joy after receiving the letter that day, and wrote a note for people to send to Bai Ko to book a women's tea room for her, Liang Zhongshan died for 21 days, and now it is March in spring, which is a good time to go out to play and enjoy the scenery.
Since Bai Ke knew Liang Zhongshan's time of rest, she set aside a day to come out for Tong Mingli to relax and gather with her sisters, and after receiving Ning Peilan's note, she replied without thinking, and Ning Peilan contacted Tong Mingli again and invited the sisters to come to the tearoom to talk.
Tong Mingli lived a comfortable and happy life again, her spirit and face were gradually restored to her best, and she went out to visit relatives and friends all day long, and everyone in the capital knew that she was choosing someone to remarry.
It just so happened that Gu Xu's errand was done smoothly and beautifully, and he was praised by the sage, and there were many compliments for a while, and the concierge of the Yeguo Mansion had to receive a bunch of gifts and famous posts for Uncle Xu every day.
The second lady Gu saw that her son had a chance, and she was smiling from ear to ear all day, and the official media came to make a few rounds of matchmaking for Gu Chan, and the second lady, who was still anxious about her daughter's marriage, immediately stopped being in a hurry again, and picked and chose slowly and methodically.
Empress Ye suddenly sent an invitation to Mrs. Gu, inviting her to bring her daughter to the palace to participate in the garden tea party, and only invited her, Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Gu were not invited.
Second Mrs. Gu's nose was about to go up to the sky when she received this invitation, and she hurriedly pulled cloth for her and Gu Chan to make new clothes, bought a few new jewelry, dressed up beautifully, and was invited to the palace.
This kind of tea party is actually a blind date, but it is only held by the queen, with the highest specifications, and Gu Xu has been in the limelight recently, so only the second Mrs. Gu and Gu Chan were invited to attend, and their mother and daughter entered the imperial garden to take a closer look, Tong Mingli and her mother were also there, and the cousins sat hand in hand and chatted hand in hand.
It was not only the mother and daughter who were invited to attend, but also the unmarried sons, under the auspices of the queen, men and women could get along freely, and these future mothers-in-law also looked for their satisfactory future sons-in-law.
Tong Mingli's remarriage partner has long been decided, a widowed young county king, his father is the younger brother of the saint and the son of the emperor, he himself is the same age as Tong Mingli, as long as the two can see each other, it will be, and with the permission of the queen, they have been sitting alone and talking softly.
Second Mrs. Gu was blushing, her daughter's daughter married to the clan, and her niece also married to the clan, if her own daughter couldn't marry the clan, it would be more embarrassing, so the second lady's eyes only patrolled among the children of the clan, and she didn't look at the boys of the princess's family.
The eldest princess and Princess Yu also attended the tea party with their daughters, these princes and children were their best choice, but Gu Yun did not receive the invitation, and Queen Ye also joked that it was fortunate that Mrs. Gu and Gu Yun were not invited, otherwise the boys at today's tea party would all be snubbed, which made everyone laugh.
