Changle Palace, in the rain of the forest, looks foggy.

The palace is forbidden and the cloisters are far away.

Yan Ming and Liu Che walked side by side in the deep palace. He was followed by the maids and guards.

At the end of the corridor, an old man stood quietly in the rain, without an umbrella or shelter, just waiting for the two of them quietly.

Seeing the old man, Yan Ming said hello to Liu Che and answered.

"Teacher!" Yan Ming was just about to kneel, but he was dragged up by the sleeve that flew out with a flick of his father-in-law.

"Let's go into the palace and meet the Empress Dowager. She misses you. Father-in-law said.

Yan Ming nodded.

When the Empress Dowager Dou heard that Yan Ming was back, she actually had the strength to sit up.

Yan Ming gathered his thoughts, his face was full of smiles, and he walked in as naughtily as before. The old man shouted: "The old grandmother of the Empress Dowager, the swallow monkey is back." ”

"Hehe-" Empress Dowager Dou smiled from the bottom of her heart: "You little monkey, you can be regarded as getting back, let the mourning family take a look." ”

Yan Ming took a few steps and knelt down in front of the bed of the Empress Dowager Dou.

Liu Che also knelt down.

"You two, sit down." The Empress Dowager Dou said, and Father-in-law Yang had already brought the chair to the two of them.

"The Empress Dowager, you look good old, maybe you will be able to get up and move and play mahjong in a few days." Yan Ming said with a smile.

"Really?" The Empress Dowager shook her head and said, "I'm old, I don't expect that." These days, the mourning family always dreams that Emperor Wen and the son of the mourning family, Emperor Jing, still have ......"

The old queen mother did not continue.

However, Yan Ming and Liu Che both knew that the old lady was afraid that she had dreamed of Liu Wu, the king of Liang.

"Do you want your grandson to pass on Liang Wang Liu to buy it?" Liu Che asked respectfully.

Empress Dowager Dou rolled her eyes and said, "No need. The princes are in peace and sealing the country, which is the joy of my Han Dynasty. ”

Yan Ming and Liu Che glanced at each other, although the old lady was seriously ill, she was not confused.

"Yan Ming, tell the old lady, are you in a cold place in the north?" The Empress Dowager asked.

Yan Ming nodded, picked up the novelties in the north and told the Empress Dowager Dou a few things. As for the discovery of oil or something, I haven't said anything yet.

"Is it cold in the north?" Empress Dowager Dou asked.

"It's cold, spitting outside, and before it hits the ground, it turns into ice." Yan Ming smiled exaggeratedly.

Empress Dowager Dou pointed at Yan Ming and said, "You little monkey, you will be unbelievable." ”

"It's true. Tell the old lady a real story. When I first went to Tohoku, everyone didn't know how cold it was. A soldier went out without a hat. And guess what? Yan Ming said.

"Could it be that your head is frozen?" Empress Dowager Dou said with a smile.

"It's not that serious, but it's pretty much the same. As soon as he went out, he felt his ears numb. Then he touched it with his hand, and he actually broke off two ears. Yan Ming said exaggeratedly.

"Ahh Why is that? The old lady's eyes widened.

"It was too cold, and my ears were frozen, so I broke them off with a slight force." Yan Ming said with a smile.

"How's that for good?" Empress Dowager Dou asked.

"Actually, if you freeze your ears in the north or something, rub them with snow and take them slowly. You can't get hot or cold. ”

Yan Ming picked up some things that were not common in the north again, and the Empress Dowager Dou smiled in his humorous language, and her mental state seemed to be much better.

"Imperial Grandmother, you should be more happy. My body is slowly getting better. Yan Ming said.

"Old, compared with Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing, the mourning family is considered to have lived a long time." Empress Dowager Dou has a very indifferent view of life and death.

The old lady hadn't been so happy for a long time, and she wanted to call someone to play a game of mahjong.

Yan Ming and Liu Che knew that she was in a good mood, so they seemed to be more energetic. At such a time, it is not advisable to overexert yourself, but it is time to rest.

Father-in-law Yang also said that the old queen should rest.

Empress Dowager Dou gave up. But Yan Ming had to wait for her to have dinner together.

In his spare time in the afternoon, Yan Ming babbled to the old lady about how to teach Chinese and how to build a house in the Northeast. Build a ondol.

It wasn't until after dinner that the Empress Dowager Dou was a little tired, and Yan Ming and Liu Che said goodbye and left.

Coming out of Changle Palace, Liu Che asked Yan Ming to go to Weiyang Palace and wanted to chat all night.

Yan Ming thought about it for a while, but still politely refused Liu Che's request.

They are all in their twenties now, and it is good to talk about staying in the palace at this time. If you are caught by someone with a heart, you may even end up with the truth.

"Let's go to the old house in Dongshi for a night." Yan Ming said.

Liu Che was silent for a moment and said, "It's okay." You don't have to get up early tomorrow, I'm waiting for you in Weiyang Palace, you can't avoid this fight. ”

Yan Ming nodded and said, "Death date, see you or break up." ”

Liu Che waved his hand, and the two of them separated outside the Changle Palace.

The old house of the Tian family in Dongshi has not been lived in for many years. Even more so, this rainy weather is already too humid.

Yan Ming didn't go to the old mansion at all, and Cheng Xin went directly to the Drunken Immortal Building.

Before he reached the door of the Drunken Immortal Building, he was stopped by someone.

"But Yanhou?" The person who came was extremely polite, and he was the housekeeper among everyone when he looked dressed. And with a bare chin, at first glance, he was born as a eunuch.

"Who are you?" Yan Ming saw that this person was a eunuch, and he also guessed the approximate origin, but he didn't dare to confirm it.

"The little one is the housekeeper in Princess Pingyang's mansion. Ordered by the princess, I came to ask the Hou Ye to come over and talk about it. "The steward is humble and great.

Yan Ming saw that the car behind the housekeeper had been prepared, and he looked at Cheng Xin for a while, and the two of them got into the car.

The cart passed through Chang'an City for a while and then stopped.

The housekeeper was very talkative, and told Yan Ming a lot about Princess Pingyang along the way.

Yan Ming knew that over the years, Princess Pingyang had supported the furniture and wood business alone, and had even reached the point where each county town had a shop.

Some small counties have gradually had their furniture stores.

The name of this shop is Linglong Pavilion.

It is also appropriate to obtain the meaning of the seven exquisite tricks and use it in the work of furniture carpenters.

The car stopped, Yan Ming stepped out of the car, and saw a tall building opposite. It is completely modern construction style, but there are cornices and beasts around, which makes the house still have a trace of ancient architecture.

"This house is from Lao Xu's hands." Yan Ming asked.

"Master Hou has good eyesight. This is the headquarters of Linglong Pavilion that the princess specially asked Marquis Xu to build. The butler said.

Yan Ming nodded and said, "Lao Xu's handwriting, yes, it is so atmospheric, it can be seen that he has also put his heart into it." ”

The building of Linglong Pavilion is only three floors, but because of the reasonable design, the house looks magnificent and majestic, and it is quite magnificent.

On the gate, the three words 'Linglong Pavilion', which seems quite clever and somewhat dignified, are more eye-catching against the backdrop of the atmospheric plaque.
