Xu Shichu had no choice but to ask Zhixia to pour Luo Changqing a glass as well.
Luo Changqing took a sip of the so-called milk tea. The elegant tea flavor was mixed with the mellow milk. It was silky in the mouth and had a different flavor than tea.
Xu Shichu picked up a delicate little silver spoon, took out a small pearl and put it into her mouth. It bounced smoothly... At this time, she once again regretted that there are no straws in this era. The pearls in milk tea do not need to be sucked through straws. If you come out, it will be much less fun.
Xu Shichu let his mind wander for a while. When he saw the small and exquisite silver spoon with carvings in his hand, he thought that it would be fine without a straw. The sale of this small silver spoon would be enough to buy thousands of straws. The luxurious life of being the wife of the prime minister It's really addictive.
Thinking of this, Xu Shichu secretly glanced at Luo Changqing gratefully. This was all thanks to the great master who chose the original owner as his tool, so she diligently asked Zhixia to pour Luo Changqing another glass.
Luo Changqing tried this novel thing and said to Xu Shichu: "During the banquet tonight, please help me observe the behavior of several official wives: the wife of Xu Qi, the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, Jing Zhao The wife of Yin Zhoulan, the old lady of Zhenguo Gong..."
He reported the wives of several high-ranking officials and nobles at once. Xu Shichu had a headache and hurriedly stopped: "You have said so many things, how can I remember them clearly? I know their identities, but I haven't made up my mind about their appearance and their appearance." The names match, you think too highly of me."
"Aunt Zhang will remind you." Luo Changqing said. Aunt Zhang was the one who came out of the palace to teach Xu Shichu the rules and etiquette.
"That's fine, but why do you want me to pay attention to the behavior of these women? Is it you? Tsk, tsk, tsk..." Xu Shichu looked at Luo Changqing in pretense of surprise.
When Luo Changqing heard what Xu Shichu said, his face turned dark. He glared at Xu Shichu and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about?! I want you to see what their temper and character are like and whether they are suitable to be mothers-in-law. After all, they have A good son!"
Xu Shichu then "suddenly realized" and nodded: "So that's it! Why didn't you tell me more clearly? I thought you had evil intentions towards them."
"Shut up!" Luo Changqing's sharp phoenix eyes swept over Xu Shichu, warning her not to talk nonsense.
Xu Shichu was not afraid of him, and said with a smile: "Didn't you say that you don't need me to take care of your daughter's affairs? Why are you using me again now? Aren't you afraid that I will have bad intentions?"
Luo Changqing glanced at her and said lightly: "I thought you were a Chongming person and knew who allowed you to live in a corner."
"It's up to you. Let's talk about it first. I will tell the truth about the facts I observed, but you also know that I am just an ordinary person, and my opinions will be involuntarily affected by my personal concepts and ethics. Maybe it's not objective enough, so if there are any mistakes, you can't blame me! Don't say you didn't predict it!" Xu Shichu said solemnly, she didn't want to get involved in the thankless matter of Luo Yaqing's marriage.
Luo Changqing said: "I just want you to observe as a basis for my reference, and I am not asking you to make a decision. I will not decide my daughter's lifelong events just because of your words. You don't have to worry so much."
"Then I'll be relieved." Xu Shichu patted his chest.
After drinking milk tea and eating snacks, according to Xu Shichu's usual habit of riding in a carriage, she should lie down now, but now she is wearing a grand and luxurious palace dress, which cannot be wrinkled at all. She can't even sit down Don't dare to sit for too long. You'll have to get up after a while to smooth out the wrinkles. Of course, you can't lie down.
She could only open the car curtains and look out out of boredom. But it was already dusk now, and there were fewer and fewer people on the street, and there was nothing lively or interesting to see. Xu Shichu looked around with a beautiful face, and a small white and soft hand unconsciously grasped the curtain of the small window. .
Luo Changqing's eyes were involuntarily attracted to that hand as white as jade. The slender and shiny fingers were stirring and stirring, so cute.
Until Xu Shichu turned around and asked him: "Are the people in the palace easy to get along with? Ah, I really asked a stupid question! How can high-ranking people be easy to get along with..." As she said this, she became annoyed again and clutched her hand. Curtain's hand let go of Curtain, raised it and patted his forehead gently.
Luo Changqing seemed to have been awakened. He shifted his gaze uncomfortably, and returned to his usual elegant and noble demeanor, saying: "As long as you keep to yourself, be careful in your words and deeds, and don't do anything out of line, there will be nothing anyone can do." Can’t help you.”
"Of course I won't do anything outrageous. I cherish my life the most! You are the prime minister, so if I take advantage of you, can I show my authority in front of those high-ranking officials and nobles?" Once Xu Shichu lost his worries, He asked with a smile.
Luo Changqing squinted at her: "Are you trying to show off your power again?"
"No?" Xu Shichu asked.
"Okay, but you have to be measured." Luo Changqing said. He was really tolerant. As long as it didn't involve his two daughters or his bottom line, Xu Shichu would let everything else go. He had already taken care of what he said at the beginning. .
Luo Changqing felt the speed of the carriage slowly moving forward, and suddenly realized that the feeling of riding in this carriage was different from when he usually entered the palace.
He closed his eyes and felt it for a while, then opened them suddenly and asked Xu Shichu: "Your carriage seems to be very strong in earthquake resistance."
Xu Shichu paused, surprised at his sensitivity, but said calmly: "I just modified the wheel."
"How to transform it?" Luo Changqing asked, staring at her closely.
"Although the wheels of my carriage are also made of wood, they are wrapped with a thick layer of tree gum. After the gum is set and fixed, it becomes elastic and can reduce the vibration of the carriage when it is driving." Xu Shichu said It's rubber.
The origin of rubber trees is not here. Xu Shichu's rubber is obtained from the rubber trees in her own companion space. When she first came to this world, she was very skinny. Every time she rode in the carriage, her bones ached due to the jolts, and she was miserable. , so she quietly used the rubber tree sap produced in her own space to make rubber wheels.
In ancient times, the anti-shock measures of horse-drawn carriages relied on paving the road, placing soft cloth pads, and slowing down the speed. However, no matter how smooth the road was, how soft the pads were, or how slow the speed was, the carriage would still be uncomfortably bumpy.
Therefore, the smoothness and comfort of Xu Shichu's carriage were suddenly different from the carriage Luo Changqing usually rode in.
"What kind of tree gum is it?" Luo Changqing asked again. He was surprised that Xu Shichu could think of using tree sap to make wheels.
Xu Shichu said without changing his expression: "The sap of a kind of tree called rubber tree grows in foreign countries. I got it by chance from a foreign businessman. I tried it out in a whimsical way, but I didn't expect that I had an unexpected surprise in modifying the wheel. .”
