Chapter 109: The draft begins

After Mrs. Lan and Li left the palace, they handed over the drawings to Lan Xiaoqin, who immediately set out to have people research and manufacture bicycles and tricycles.Chinese

Watermark Advertising TestingWatermark Advertising TestingIn ancient times, the steelmaking technology department was developed, and Lan Xiaoyou set up the body as an all-wood structure, including the wheels and chains, which were also made of wood.

In doing so, it is more laborious to pedal, and the chain is also easy to break, but the cost is low. The cost of a bicycle is no more than one or two silver, and the tricycle has more materials and requires one or two halves of silver.

Lan Xiaoqin sold it conscientiously, and the price of each car was only three times higher than the cost price, and civilians could afford it.

Nowadays, a cow costs more than ten taels of silver, and a tricycle is only five taels of silver.

Although it takes a lot of effort, but for them who work hard all year round, spending effort is a small problem, as long as they pedal hard, the tricycle runs faster than the ox cart, and they don't have to spend time and effort to take care of it, how good!

As a result, tricycles are in short supply than bicycles. The people who buy bicycles are rich and idle, and ordinary bicycles can't get into their eyes, and they all have to be specially customized.

As a result, even if more tricycles are sold than bicycles, they are not as profitable as bicycles.

After Lan Xiaoyou started selling the bicycles, he asked Quan Tianfu to buy three bicycles and a tricycle and put them in the tunnel.

With these cars there, Lan Xiaoyou took turns to send Xinghong, Taoxin and Quan Tianfu out of the palace to do things for her.

On February 2, the first year of Kunxi in the Daqing Dynasty, the first draft of Emperor Kunxi after ascending the throne finally began.

The first level is the primary selection, and the show girls must arrive outside the Shenwu Gate just before the Mao time, and when the Mao time arrives, the show girls who have not yet arrived will lose their qualifications for the draft.

Lan Xiaoyu doesn't have to participate in this pass, just wait for the eunuch palace maid to inspect it. Anyway, the list of those who have been determined to enter the palace has been handed over to the eunuchs in charge, and they will definitely not be embarrassed by these show girls.

As for the rest, it depends on whether they will be human or not. The sky was dark, but outside the Shenwu Gate, it was as bright as day.

The carriages where the show girls came to participate in the election were all hung with big lanterns, which were connected together, which was more dazzling than the lanterns of the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month.

The show girls got out of the carriage and waited at the gate of Shenwu, the surroundings were unusually quiet, and no one dared to make noise at this time.

Because of the first level, the show girls are not particularly dressed up, which also makes some show girls who are very outstanding and beautiful without makeup stand out, and have become a thorn in the side of many show girls.

All the show girls desperately hope that these people will be brushed down at the first level, but unfortunately, they are destined to be disappointed.

At the end of the day, the Shenwu Gate was wide open, and a big eunuch and a big palace maid walked out of the Shenwu Gate surrounded by the little eunuchs and small palace maids, and led the show girls into the palace for preliminary selection.

This choice is one day, the show girls have not been touched, and when they come out of the palace, they are all haggard.

The family members guarding the gate of the palace hurriedly took their girl back to the carriage and returned to the house to replenish water and feed.

As for the results of the primaries, they will not come out until three days later. The next day, Lan Xiaoyou got up, ate breakfast unhurriedly, and took the list of show girls who had passed the primary election from the big eunuch in charge of the primary election.

Except for those who are scheduled to enter the palace, the names of the other show girls are very eye-catching, and none of them entered the palace in their previous lives.

Lan Xiaoyou's gaze fell on the name of one of the show girls, Han Qinan. She had heard of this name, and it was reported that this woman was very beautiful and had the title of the first beauty in the capital.

In the previous life, everyone thought that this woman would enter the harem, but before the final election, she was suddenly disfigured and sent out of the palace, and there has been no news of this person since.

It is said that it was another show girl who was jealous of her appearance and poisoned her, and that show girl's fate was even worse than Han Qinan's, and she was ordered by Wen Songya to beat her with a full fifty canes and throw her out of the palace, her reputation was completely ruined and she was half paralyzed, and she was not treated, and finally died on the street.

After death, no one went to collect the body. Lan Xiaoyu has nothing but this

"Hehe" a reaction. Only a fool would poison the palace, is that show girl a fool?

Definitely not! It is said that the talent of that show girl is no less than Wen Songya, and she looks a little better than Wen Songya.

Wen Songya: This is to solve two threatening opponents at once. By the way, what's the name of that show girl?

Lan Xiaoyou tilted her head and thought about it, the surname of that show girl is relatively rare, it seems to be a surname

"Mi" is the same word as Zhen Mi's Mi, but it has two names.

"Mi" is pronounced as mi as a surname, and Zhen Mi's

"Mi" is pronounced as fu. Lan Xiaoyou searched the list, and sure enough, he found it

The name of "Mi": Mi Hanyi, a very nice name. Lan Xiaoyou circled the names of Mi Hanyi, Han Qinan, Lan Xiaoxue, and the Empress Dowager's niece Yan Min, and said to the chief eunuch Wang Gong: "These four people, you send someone to take care of them secretly, and you must ensure that they participate in the final election." ”

"Yes." Wang Gonggong made a list of results and left Fengyi Palace. He is much busier than Lan Xiaoyou, and he has to help the show girls allocate rooms according to the names on the list.

Three days later, the results of the primary election were announced, and some people were really happy and some cried. Not to mention the crying show girls, those selected show girls happily packed their packages and were sent to the palace by their families.

The qualifications and appearances of the selected show girls are extremely superior, all of them are carefully dressed, ringed fat and thin, each with their own characteristics, and compete with the flowers in the imperial garden.

Lan Xiaoxue stood aside, she had been living in other places, she was not familiar with the ladies in the capital, and she didn't know the beauties selected from other places, she just stood quietly by the wall, thinking about another solution to Huarong Dao.

She wasn't worried at all, her aunt told her after entering the palace and returning home some time ago, the queen had already helped her choose a family, the second son of the king of Suzhong County, who was a noble and capable, and for her, it was a good candidate.

Her future has been decided, and she is naturally at ease, unlike other show girls who are full of anxiety and expectation. She's just here to go around in circles and make up for it.

Lan Xiaoxue's casual appearance fell into the eyes of some well-intentioned people, guessing in their hearts, she walked to Lan Xiaoxue's side and said softly: "This sister is polite." I see that my sister has some eyes, she should be from out of town, right? I don't know which show girl my sister is? Lan Xiaoxue raised her eyes and saw that the show girl who was talking to her looked bright, but she was bookish, which neutralized the aggressiveness brought by her appearance and made it comfortable to watch.

At least, Lan Xiaoxue has a good impression of it.

"I've seen my sister." Lan Xiaoxue saluted,

"What my sister guessed is that the little girl Lan Xiaoxue is the patroller of Anxi." The patrol officer is equivalent to the modern secretary of the prefectural party committee, and he is the fourth grade, and his official position is neither high nor low, and the most important thing for women is Lan Xiaoxue's surname.

"Blue? Sister and Queen Mother are a family? Lan Xiaoxue replied: "The queen mother is my cousin. "It's the queen's cousin?

The woman's heart was even more determined to befriend Lan Xiaoxue, and the rest of the people next to her heard Lan Xiaoxue's self-introduction, and their original hostility towards her immediately disappeared.

All the show girls understand that it has been less than half a year since the queen and the emperor got married, and they will never let the Lan family send another daughter into the palace to share their favor.

"Little girl Mi Hanyi, my father Guanglu Siqing." The woman's self-introduction is exactly the Mi Hanyi that Lan Xiaoyou takes special care of.

"Sister Mi." Lan Xiaoxue has a good impression of Mi Hanyi and is willing to befriend him.

"Sister Blue." Mi Hanyi responded with a smile, and the two chatted happily.

"I envy Sister Lan for being so relaxed." Mi Han said,

"Alas, if only I could have a sister who is a palace concubine, I can be as easy as my sister." Lan Xiaoxue said in surprise: "Sister Mi doesn't want to enter the palace? Mi Hanyi nodded: "My temperament is not suitable for the court, my family and I just want me to marry outside the palace and be a lady......" Mi Hanyi lowered his voice and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "I can't stand it since I was a child, it's okay to be a lady, I don't think it's what I want to do when I am young." Although the palace lady is precious, she is still small......" Lan Xiaoxue couldn't help admiring Mi Hanyi, and whispered back: "If Sister Mi is unwilling to enter the palace, I can ask the queen mother to help and let her let you out of the palace." Mi Hanyi's expression froze, and then he said with a smile: "Don't bother the queen, with my appearance, I will definitely not be able to enter the palace." Lan Xiaoxue was about to say something, but the others stopped talking, and she quickly swallowed the words into her stomach and looked up.

I saw that the great eunuch Wang Gonggong and the palace maid Aunt Lin who led them into the palace during the primary election came over.

"Congratulations to all the little masters for passing the primary election, and after that, the little masters will live in the palace for a month and learn the etiquette of the palace. Please also ask the little masters to abide by the rules of the palace and not to cause trouble for themselves and the family. Wang Gonggong's tone was full of intimidation, although he knew that these intimidation were useless, these show girls should be framed, and they should be tricked, but if they said it in advance, they would also be able to shirk their responsibility.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Aunt Lin is responsible for arranging your residence, and follow Aunt Lin to Chuxiu Palace." Aunt Lin stepped forward and made a standard court etiquette: "Little masters, please come with the slaves." The show girls hurriedly followed Aunt Lin, although Aunt Lin was just a palace maid, but she had been in the palace for so many years and had a wide range of business contacts, and they had not passed the final draft, so they naturally did not dare to offend such a palace maid and old man.

Otherwise, Aunt Lin has been secretly stumbling over the years, so that they can't participate in the final draft, and the gains outweigh the losses.

The accommodation conditions of the show girls are still very good, unlike many of them who live in one room.

The show girls of the Daqing Dynasty are all one person in one room, although the room is relatively small, but they all have an independent space, so that the show girls can hide their little secrets, which makes each show girl very satisfied, and before entering the room, they stuffed a small purse into Aunt Lin's hands.
