Walking into the Red Mansion starts from the maid

"No, buy ten and get one free, I'll give you eleven cars." Lin Yu was quite generous. The popular carpenter who was usually too busy to see the end of the road now actually had time to go out of the city to deliver goods to her in person, which puzzled Zhao Lu. .

She counted the 400 taels of bonus money in her purse, stamped it with her own seal, and after processing March's dividends, she asked, "Have you hired someone to make the order? I have so much free time."

After saying that, he invited people into the courtyard. There were four or five jujube trees as tall as one person in the courtyard. They were covered with white flowers. When the breeze blew, waves of elegance and sweetness lingered around the small courtyard. Lin Yu took a sip and was filled with love. He sighed sincerely: "Your place is really nice. I want to rent a yard here."

"That's not what you said when you said you wanted to save money to buy a house." Zhao Lu insulted him.

"There's nothing we can do about it. Bicycles are becoming popular in Beijing right now. They put some carvings on them. Not only are they more expensive than ours, but they also imitate our models exactly. I don't know who to talk to!" This business can't last long. The two of them said People's hearts are like mirrors.

Therefore, how much dividends will be paid in April suddenly became unknown.

The first step in competition is plagiarism. This was especially true in ancient times when copyright awareness was weak. Not to mention cheating in the market, even if there is a big leg behind you to protect you, this kind of thing is still inevitable.

Therefore, innovation has been the core driving force of market development from ancient times to the present. Zhao Lu was mentally prepared for it, but he was not as disappointed as Lin Yu.

After making three rounds of tea, she pondered for a moment and came up with a plan, "Why don't we give it half the price, do pre-sales, hurry up and finish this round, and then think of other ways?"

The two-wheeled ones can no longer be sold, but we can also consider the three-wheeled ones. There is also a certain market for four-wheeled trailers. The mining and use of coal has a long history, and it is not difficult to get it on the market with some money...

After all, raising mules and raising donkeys is a lot of work. Adding another mouth is not as convenient as wood.

Thinking of coal, Zhao Lu suddenly felt a little soreness and numbness in his arms, and a feeling of dryness in his mouth followed him. Lin Yu saw her stunned and said: "I have an idea, but you have to wait for me to see if it works, so be it , ten days, after ten days you find a day that falls on the ninth day to find me, I will try it first and then tell you whether it can be done."

The progress of history is a huge boiling water operation, but she knows very little about the industrial situation in the outside world. The matter can only be concluded after looking for someone to interrogate it.

After discussing for a while, Lin Yu felt that he had some confidence based on trust. He also entered a dead end for a while, and the plan to set up his own business disturbed his mind. After hearing Zhao Lu's analysis, he felt that there was a lot to do in the vast sky.

"Really? We have to stick to the original and be conservative. We have to create things that most people need and make ourselves irreplaceable. Even if the whole world follows you in copying, what you do is still unique." In fact, Zhao Lu didn't know what he was doing. , but I still have to persuade you.

Smart people have always drawn inferences from one example to the present. An innovation is like a fulcrum. If your thinking spreads out, many products of the same type but with different functions will soon appear.

How long have underwear been around?Nowadays, there are several large-scale cloth shops in Beijing that have made fancy underwear. They are self-taught in how big breasts make small breasts look bigger, and they have already embarked on a path of personalized customization.

While Zhao Lu was immersed in exploration, Lin Yu raised his face and took a deep breath. The rare sunshine in the warm late spring shone on his face, showing some uneasiness, seemingly worried but not worried, with some unspeakable hesitation. .

"Miss Zhao," a flash of determination flashed in Lin Yu's eyes, and he looked at Zhao Lu who looked puzzled, "I'm sorry, I haven't seen Miss Qingwen for a long time. The store is also being managed by an agent. Has she gone back home... "

Ah, she thought to herself, it turns out that delivering goods is just a cover, and being free is also a cover.

Speaking of Qingwen, Zhao Lu inevitably felt a surge of sourness in his nose. Look, the connection between us has become so close without even realizing it, and he would feel worried about the other's choice when he mentioned it.

So she didn't hide anything and said bluntly, "She... the spring water is turbulent, and I heard that the waterway is going south with a favorable wind, so you should arrive at Jinling today, right?"

It stands to reason that Xiaohong knows the inside story better. Even if Lin Zhixiao is not in charge of selecting the escort for Tanchun, he must know the details. This only shows that Lin Yu, a distant relative, is really far away.

Zhao Lu clarified the whole story in a few words, and made it clear that Qingwen's chances of returning to the capital in this life were slim.

"Ah?" Lin Yu's eyes widened in disbelief, as if a handful of colorful flowers were falling from his head, and his expression suddenly became extremely lost.

The fact that Qingwen is marrying has become a reality. Even if she is full of regrets about this teenage period, it cannot change any of the reality in front of her.

What's more, there is no way to know what Qingwen is thinking, so the dispensable comfort becomes hypocrisy. It has no meaning whether it is for another life in the distance or the young man in front of her.

……

At the beginning of the Youshi period, for doctors and nurses, the day's work is coming to an end, the sun is setting in the sky, and it's time to get off work.

However, the spring plowing in the army is not yet completely over. A lot of soybeans can still be replanted in the corners and crevices of the land. If God bless this year, there will be another bumper harvest in autumn.

There are scattered fire spots at the foot of the long mountain. Slash-and-burn cultivation is the only way to fertilize the land. For a while, it was so lively that people could not imagine that this was a suburban night scene.

However, at this moment when the distance was busy and the area was quiet, a bamboo sedan quietly entered the tent of the doctors. It was neither fast nor slow, and did not disturb the doctors who were off duty.

However, Zhao Lu and Hu Junrong have one more job than others, and they also need to write detailed work records every day and send them to Taiyuan Hospital every month to prove that expatriation is not a waste of money.

With a slight squeaking sound, the light bamboo sedan sneaked through the tents, and finally stopped at the side door of the courtyard where the doctors and soldiers were on duty. Just as he was about to knock on the door, he met a man walking out slowly. Hu Junrong.

When their eyes met, Hu Junrong's heart sank, and he thought to himself that this was probably what Xiao Liu'er said about working overtime?

He is not active after get off work and has ideological problems. Hu Junrong deeply agrees with this statement.

After working in the Imperial Hospital for two years, the mentality of a social animal has begun to show. He forced a smile on his face. Just when he was about to ask what his symptoms were, he heard a loud voice from the other side: "Sure enough, the doctor is very kind. I have to trouble the Imperial Doctor again today."

"It's okay." Hu Junrong said a few words, then turned around and went into the room to light a candle. When he put on his clothes and welcomed the person in, he saw the person clearly. He was startled and asked, "It turns out to be Mr. Cui, but I feel unwell." Where?"

He was respectful on his lips, but he was cursing in his heart. He had to stay up all night to find out what was wrong with him. There was something really wrong.

"It's all that little prince Mu's fault! If you have to compete in horseback riding or shooting, don't forget about your horsemanship. Lao Shizi's bicycle is also a treasure. I'm not telling you, two feet..."

"Okay!" Cui Qing pursed her lips and calmly stopped the complaints of her subordinates. She glanced at him like a sharp sword and passed over Hu Junrong's shoulder, directly into his subordinates, and said loudly: "Your Majesty has been here for a long time. On the frontier, it is inevitable to act wildly, we are just learning from each other, it is a pleasure to meet."

At the same time, a rough breath escaped from the corner of his lips. Sure enough, any sword that is kept in its sheath for a long time will become squeamish.

Hu Junrong felt a little sluggish at this time. He couldn't help but raise his hand and rub his eyes, cupping his hands and saying: "To be honest, sir, there are pieces of sand, stone and iron burrowed into the flesh. It may be difficult to clean them by washing. If you want to recover quickly, you must clean them." It’s good to create talents.”

After saying that, he rubbed his eyes again, hesitatingly saying that his old eyes were dim and he couldn't see clearly. It would be better to call Liu and Li to come over. Young people, their eyes must be more careful.Cui Qing held his forehead. If it wasn't for the injury on his face, he could have done it by himself. Could it be that he had to deal with three or four doctors after a fall? How big of a face can he withstand such humiliation?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but hate the little prince of Mu Dong'an's family. He would hit people without slapping them in the face. It was normal that their soldiers who had been living in the capital for a long time were not as tough as the border troops, but to do such a disrespectful thing would be too disrespectful. in the eyes.

The most important thing is, will His Majesty find them embarrassed...

For a moment, he had a lot of thoughts in his mind. Zhao Lu, whom Hu Junrong didn't mention, asked him to mention it, "Where is that little girl? Can she do it?"

A thin layer of cold sweat broke out on Zhao Lulu's face. If he had known he would get off work earlier, he could just go home and make up for his work diary. What would he do to save some lamp oil?

Who knows, the most important thing for these young masters is their face. Back then, Baoyu was burned by Jia Huan, and everyone in the house was as worried as if he had something to worry about. In the end, it was the Yuyan Cream given by King Beijing that saved his face.What a coincidence, this guy grabbed the ground with his head because he was riding a bicycle...

It’s really hard for you powerful people to make money!
"Dr. Zhao." Cui Qing gritted his teeth and ordered the remaining people: "Go and light a few more lamps."

Seeing Hu Junrong turning his back to get the clip, and the bearers surrounding the door, Zhao Lu thought to himself that Hu Junrong was presbyopic, but she was not the same. The hand holding the back of Cui Qing's head suddenly tightened, and just as he was about to speak, the captain from the Cui family had already said sincerely. His eyes were focused on her face.

He whispered: "Honestly, where did you get the blueprint for that bicycle? This matter is related to royal secrets, how could you do it?"

The corners of Zhao Lu's lips twitched, and he was confused. The confusion in his eyes was undeniable. After thinking about it, he realized that this was not something that could subvert the imperial power, so he stopped making arrangements and said in a gentle tone: "What did Mr. Cui say? God!" There are records of ox-powered gear carts in the works, and the Lin family carpenters... and we just made some changes to make it easier for daily use."

We are not alone. Don’t worry about why he asked. Let’s spread the risk first.

Her eyes were crystal clear, and then the lights that came in reflected many figures, which were cast on the wall. The boundless silence seemed to complete an interrogation, but it seemed like nothing happened.

"Master Cui needs to be careful and don't let water touch the wound within three days." Xi Daying not only guards the capital, but also guards an iron mine in Xishan. There is iron sand in the camp, which is very reasonable.

Zhao Lu handled it carefully, and after telling him that it was time to change the dressing, he finally said softly that he heard that Yuyan Cream can repair scars, and within three months, it will be flawless again.

"Hey." Cui Qing sneered and limped out without saying anything.

Nothing can be hidden from the superiors. Zhao Lu knew that after pretending to dress up, she went to ask about the cavalry camp's fire turbine, which was known by several senior officials. She was wondering all the way, how could this matter be related to the royal secret?

The book "Pictures of Newly Made Various Utensils" that Jia Zheng gave to Baoyu seemed to be a must-read publication of the Ministry of Industry. Baoyu was not interested and stuffed it in the corner of the study.It made me addicted to the eyes, but now when I wanted to study the steam turbine in detail, I also visited the bookstores outside, but I didn't see the same model.

Earlier, she only thought it was an internal reading material of the Ministry of Industry. Now it seems that it is not only an orphan book, but maybe a banned book?Otherwise, how to explain Cui Qing's statement about royal secrets.

"Liuer, I heard that Captain Cui is a branch of the family and has no family yet." Hu Junrong was walking back with her on the way back when he suddenly said this.

Zhao Lu agreed casually, "No, no."

Do you still want to be a matchmaker for your boss?Pull them down, the three aunts and six wives are the most annoying.

Whether it was a coincidence or not, Cui Qing, with a piece of cloth on her face, went out that night and met Feng Zhengping. The two talked about the bicycle. They turned around and saw the East Palace entering the door, with the young prince of the Mu family standing behind him.

The young prince had a playful smile when he saw Cui Qingpo, but when he came up, floods washed away the Dragon King Temple, and his family didn't recognize his own family.

Cui Qing bit his back teeth, the night breeze was cool, candles fluttered and flames danced, and at the same time the sound of drawing a sword sounded, and then two more silver and lightning intertwined in the yard.

The sword energy was everywhere, the clothes were flying, and after hundreds of moves, the scene entered a stalemate. At this time, Little Prince Mu jumped up the tree, shouting that he was willing to be defeated, but his expression was even more in need of a beating.

Dong Gong let out a long sigh, and in the midst of his final words, Cui Qing's sword flower was pulled up on the branch. Prince Mu's sword edge was raised, and the flash of lightning fell into the air. The arm that was supposed to be withdrawn was stuck at a tricky angle. On the branch of a tree, there is a dilemma.

And if that long sword advanced even one inch, all the meridians would be severed.

"My lord!"

"Master Cui!"

There were exclamations from both sides, and everyone stepped forward one after another. Even the East Palace moved a few steps. The importance it attached was self-evident. This face-saving competition had obviously achieved its goal.

Cui Qing retracted his long sword, held the arm of the young prince of the Mu family with one hand, and said with a smile: "Oh, it's just a competition, I should be happy to give it up!"

Rang's face was not as strong as the face he had earned. Feng Zhengping seemed to be no less shocked than Dong Gong, but he still pretended to glare at Cui Qing and said: "Captain Cui, don't mess around!"

Cui Qing's identity was named, which means that Da Na has not taken action yet, and our West Camp is no less than your frontier army.

"It's none of Mr. Cui's business." Prince Mu tried hard to control his voice, "I was a little distracted just now. The capital is so colorful and charming that people are not always on guard like the border towns..."

After all, he was still young, so he was not very skilled at finding a way for himself, but after everyone understood it, they softened a few words, and soon there were food and drinks, singing and dancing, and the chaos turned into harmony, and turned into talking and drinking.

Discord between generals is the most favorite thing for the emperor to see. But Shui Yi has not yet taken that position. At present, he is only worried about the internal discord. In the future, when he pursues a great cause, he will not be able to advance and retreat together. It will be worse than before. Two more points of gentleness, working hard to eliminate barriers.

Cui Qing looked at everyone intently for a moment, then suddenly interjected: "Your Highness, I still remember the Battle of Yaoguan. I heard that when the soldiers were crossing the river, in order to cut off the stamina of the Tartars, they had to throw the captured horses into the river. It's a pity. Extremely.”

Speaking of this, there are many people who want to sigh. The Tartar barbarians have no other advantages. They are really talented in raising livestock. The war horses are always a bit taller than those in the Central Plains. Who can see it and not be jealous?
Dong Gong was smart, considering the recent events, he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Even if your bicycle is made of four wheels, you still need two feet to pedal."

"Your Highness, please don't accuse me unjustly. How can I dare to live up to your untrue words? But no matter what, animals are not as reliable as dead objects. If you can add fire wheels to this object, make the shape bigger, and then include soldiers in it, wouldn't it be invincible? Invincible?"

Although it is not known where the young doctor knew the contents of banned books such as "Dong Guan Ji Shi", the Cui family has always been quite critical of the late emperor's move to seal up the strange techniques of fortifications.

Now that the old and the new are changing, Cui Qing feels that his family's opportunity has come, and the boy should take Wu Gou.
