Chapter 109 Caring for the people's business experience
"I came today to say goodbye to His Highness, I should repair in the house, and what should be re-beaten has been packed up, it was originally the horse that asked me to come, but the horse is not in the house now, so I have to resign with His Highness. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Sai Luban has been a lot more stable since she married Fang Ziying, and speaking like this is rare in Lan Qiduo's opinion, she looked at Sai Luban with a surprised look in her eyes.
People who have changed a lot have changed a lot in the eyes of others, but in fact, he can rarely feel it himself, so seeing Lan Qiduo's unpredictable eyes, he explained again: "I and Ziying are so old to get married, and it has been many years in between, it is not easy to come together, thanks to the blessing of His Royal Highness, and now that he has a child, he should cherish today's mattress days, this is about to be the Dragon Boat Festival, or the first Dragon Boat Festival I have spent with Ziying, it can't be in someone else's house, the house outside has just been cleaned up, I almost moved in! β
Lan Qiduo did make sense when she heard this, she thought for a while and said, "Then you bring Fang Ziying over, and I will practice it for you, which can be regarded as a celebration of housewarming." β
Sailuban and Lan Qiduo have known each other for many years, and he didn't feel flattered because Lan Qiduo said this, on the contrary, he just thought about it a little and said, "Okay, I'll pick up Ziying." β
After finishing speaking, he left, and as soon as Sailuban left, Lan Qiduo said a little lonely: "This is about to leave, and there will not even be a friend in the house who can speak in the future." β
"Your Highness don't worry, we all know Mr. Sai's house, it's a quarter of an hour's walk from the Duhu Mansion, and it's very convenient for Your Highness to go to see Mr. Sai when you want to."
Lan Qiduo knew that Sailuban lived so close, and he was happy again: "It's really close!" β
Sailuban came with Fang Ziying after a while, Fang Ziying was about to give birth in two months, her belly was not small, Lan Qiduo directly asked her to invite her to the soft couch to lean on, Fang Ziying was a little scared, Lan Qiduo said lightly: "If you sit down, you will sit down, although this palace doesn't like you, there is no need to be angry with the child in your belly!" β
There was silence in the small flower hall for a while, His Royal Highness spoke too directly, fortunately, Fang Ziying had never heard anything unpleasant in the years of being a play, not to mention that she knew from Sai Luban that this little princess was just hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, she only thought it was interesting, but Sai Luban couldn't bear it, and gave Lan Qiduo a look, Lan Qiduo couldn't stand Sai Luban's convulsions, and said directly: "Okay, okay!" Seeing your hard work, go sit over there and start the meal right away. β
Seruban gave Lan Qiduo a grateful smile, and Lan Qiduo pretended not to see.
Fang Ziying ate with Lan Qiduo for the first time, and she could be regarded as seeing the pomp and circumstance of Her Royal Highness the princess, just cleaning her hands with three basins of water, and then rinsing her mouth three times, so that there were six maids holding mouthwashes in the basin alone, and the dishes were all ready, Her Royal Highness the princess didn't like to surround the people who were waiting, only the maid named Xiaoping was there, Fang Ziying was relieved, Sailuban quietly pressed her hand under the table, and she winked at Sailuban.
She also understands what her husband means, after all, this highness is the benefactor of the two of them, especially this benefactor has a noble status, for them this is tantamount to grace, she is not so ignorant, but this kind of ladylike, prince and aristocratic style has not been experienced for many years, and she is somewhat uncomfortable.
Fang Ziying only sandwiched the dishes in front of her when she ate in a regular manner, and occasionally Sailuban took advantage of Lan Qiduo's disdain to clip a chopstick dish to her, but Lan Qiduo felt a little unhappy to eat, these two people behaved so intimately in front of her, did they bully her to eat alone?
Therefore, pickiness began unconsciously, the beef is a little old, the cabbage in the chicken soup is a little cooked, and the crystal glutinous rice cake seems to have a lot of sugar in it......
At the end of the meal, the dishes that Xiao Tuping sandwiched into Lan Qiduo's bowl hardly moved.
After the meal, Sai Luban opened the indigo bag he was carrying, and took out a red lacquer box from it, which was carved with Lan Qiduo's familiar hibiscus flowers, and the whole body was simple and elegant, the most important thing is that this is a little different from the nine-color box and six-color box that Lan Qiduo usually sees.
Lan Qiduo has always known that Sailuban likes to tinker with some small things, so this box that Sailuban shot, not to mention that Lan Qiduo is curious, even the girls around him are curious about what is different about this box.
Lan Ziduo opened the lid and found that it was no different, but it seemed to be darker than the other boxes, so he said, "It's no different......
"Your Highness take the box down."
Lan Qiduo thought to himself, just this is so high, can this still be taken down? It turned out to be really unplugged!
"Your Highness will take down another layer."
Really...... I can't see that this box, which is only half a foot high, is so deep, there are three layers in total! When Lan Qiduo saw the bottom layer, he found that something was different, and the bottom layer turned out to be a layer of iron sheet!
"The back of this second layer is also wrapped in iron sheets, and the bottom layer can be used to put charcoal fires."
Sailuban personally picked up the second layer of the box and said: "Your Highness may not know when you first come to Dingxi, Dingxi is already very cold in October, and it is not uncommon for snow to fall in October. And it can also keep warm with charcoal fire! β
After all, it is something that he is familiar with, and Sailuban is very proud: "His Royal Highness on the upper layer puts some pea yellow, cloud cake, mung bean crisp, candied fruit, preserved fruits, etc., even if it is cold, it can be eaten, and some dishes are put on the second layer, like what cooked duck meat, rabbit meat, chicken breast, anchovies, chicken feet with pickled peppers, these appetizers with a little meat, can basically be hot." β
Sailuban talked eloquently, and everyone was very curious when they heard him say this, and they could put down eighteen things, not to mention keeping warm.
"Put the charcoal fire on the last layer, see how much charcoal you want to keep warm for a long time, put more for a long time, put less for a short time, if the iron sheet is broken, you can also change it and can't get on the appearance of the box."
Lan Qiduo thought about it, isn't this the same as the food box, but everyone thinks that the box is simple, and no one puts the idea on the box, but the weather in Dingxi is different, and it is very necessary for Sailuban to save the box, after thinking about it, she asked: "This seems to be not only expensive but also cheap, right?" β
Sailuban smiled: "Where do you care about the things made for His Highness?" β
Lan Qiduo almost rolled his eyes: "I'm asking you if it's expensive, if the cost is too high, it won't be easy to sell in the future!" β
Sure enough, a room full of people looked at Lan Qiduo, and Lan Qiduo was a little annoyed: "What kind of eyes are you looking at?" This palace wants to feed tens of thousands of people in Dingxi! β
Only then did everyone understand that Her Royal Highness the Princess of Affection thought about doing business again, and they had heard of Lan Qiduo's recent discussions with the eldest young master of the Tian family and many adults in the outer courtyard, and they never thought that His Royal Highness would do his duty to this point! Don't even let go of a box!
And how do they understand the eagerness of Her Royal Highness the princess to go to the mountains and rivers after completing the task!
"When it comes to cost, there are expensive practices, and cheap methods are cheap."
"Then you make the most expensive and the best, I will let people bring it to the capital to my father!"
It's for Emperor Kangtai, what else can Sailuban say will naturally agree, and Lan Qiduo will say: "Your box is really good." When the palace figure it out, you will be given dividends at the end of the year. β
After thinking about it, I have done two things recently, and I have to give dividends, and if I do it well, isn't it a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people? I'm afraid that when the time comes, my father's civil and military officials will not have so many methods as her, and I feel very proud when I think of Lan Qiduo!
"Then I will thank Your Highness in advance!" Sailuban was stunned for a moment, and then accepted it generously! Lan Qiduo is much more satisfied with Sailuban's acquaintance!
But since Sailuban is going out to live, even if he doesn't come, in fact, she has something to find Sailuban.
"What do you think of the walls of Dingxi City?"
Lan Qiduo waved away the idlers and others, and asked Sailuban directly.
Sailuban himself is a carpenter, a master of organs, and has his own unique views on any building, doors and windows, and the gate of Dingxi City is not within his consideration, because it is not his business, especially after having a wife and having children soon, Sailuban has become a lot more stable and down-to-earth, and the previous debauchery has been somewhat restrained.
He groaned and said, "I don't know how many years the city gate in Dingxi is, and there is nothing wrong with it except for being dilapidated. β
Lan Qiduo glanced at Sailuban with disdain: "There is nothing wrong with it except being dilapidated, which of the city walls do you see have to be re-smoothed with mud on the walls every year?" "Lan Qiduo was embarrassed to say some things, and the news that Xiao Tule and they inquired about was that a few years ago, under the city wall, it was a good place for many people to pee!
Sailuban was speechless, didn't he care about the face of Her Royal Highness the princess, she is now the new master of Dingxi City, so she spoke more tactfully?
"Now I have a task for you, which is to make the wall as strong and beautiful as possible without tearing it down."
Sailuban frowned, this task is really difficult!
"I'll try my best!"
After saying and talking about things, Sailuban can finally go down! Lan Qiduo finished this today, as long as he thought that the houses of the people living in the city could take his time after the city gate was renewed, anyway, with Sailuban here, he could plan a reasonable layout plan in combination with the actual local situation in Dingxi, just like the house in the capital, whether it is seen from the highest place, or actually measured with feet, it is a very good place.
It is said that the father and the emperor in the original capital on the basis of the original, but the capital built beautifully, is in order to one day in the future can appear in the prosperous situation of all countries to congratulate, the grand structure in Dingxi, the mountain is high and Huangdu far away, although Lan Qiduo does not feel how, but a little beautiful, people look more comfortable can be done!
"Your Royal Highness, in three days it will be the Duanyang Festival, the girls of Lewuzhai want His Highness to look at it first, check it, if it is not good, they can modify it in advance."
"Exactly! Let them wait in the courtyard around the beam, and the main palace will pass. β
Freshen up and dress up, Lan Qiduo took a group of people to go around the Liang Courtyard, this courtyard was originally specially prepared for watching the play and enjoying the dance in the future, the stage has always been built a long time ago, if there is anything, as long as it is slightly decorated, it can be used, this is also a big benefit of the place, naturally this benefit is only enjoyed by Lan Qiduo!
And the reason why she wants to bring a group of people is not that Lan Qiduo pays attention to pomp, but that she understands a truth that "three stinkers beat Zhuge Liang" and "there is great strength in many people". And singing and dancing are meant to entertain everyone, not to mention that they have to move to the barracks to see it, and if there are any shortcomings, they naturally have to give more opinions!
Her Royal Highness the princess brought so many people to watch, and the girls in Le Wu Zhai were a little nervous, but their lead dancer gave them a calm look: "Just dance according to the training on weekdays, don't panic!" β
Lan Qiduo took a look at the leading woman on the stage, and the woman looked away lightly, and a gesture began!
Today, all the girls in Le Wu Zhai came when it was a formal performance, and the dance costumes were all dressed, except that there was no makeup and a formal performance.
When the music sounded, Lan Qiduo immediately understood that this was "The Ballad of Taiping", and from this point she was very satisfied with this dance, at least the idea was very good.
Thirteen young and beautiful girls saluted Lan Qiduo, and then they shook their long water sleeves on the stage, with that sweet smiling face, they are really more delicate than flowers, especially when turning the corners of their skirts, they are simply lotus flowers step by step, as if they are lotus flowers standing in the wind surrounded by lotus leaves, which makes people dizzy to see!
Lan Qiduo only felt that today's dance was a little different from usual, and the dancing girls were a lot more bold and enthusiastic.
At the end of the song, Lan Qiduo was the first to applaud, so the rest of the people also applauded vigorously.
"Yes, the meaning is good, the dance is novel, this palace thinks that your shoes will look better if the color is a little lighter?"
The girl who led the dance looked to be in her twenties, not much older than Lan Qiduo, and after hearing Lan Qiduo's words, she thought about it seriously: "What His Highness said is not bad, that is like the heart of a lotus flower!" β
"In that case, let the sewing room be made quickly, and before going to the barracks, jump aside to show the palace."
"The slave obeys."
Who wouldn't like to have new shoes, and besides, these girls in Le Wu Zhai are not girls from good families, maybe they are good girls themselves, but they were affected by their fathers, and finally fell into a place like the Teaching Workshop Division or filled the palace music workshop.
The Teaching Workshop Division is not intended to be the most inferior place, and the Music Workshop in the palace is better than the Teaching Workshop Division, but if it is not favored by the dignitaries, it will be the end of the old death in the palace for a lifetime, but the princess's mansion may be the best destination for them, even if it is with a small servant, it is also freer than in the palace!
