Chapter 371 ? A Little Storm (Part 1)
What's going on with this girl? I didn't say anything, why did I blush like this?
Li Hao stared at his two godless big eyes, wandering around, trying to recall whether he had said something inappropriate.
In the end, no, I didn't say anything, it must be this girl who thought it wrongly.
"Well, Xueyan, since you have agreed, let's discuss what's next."
To change the topic, Li Hao picked up a ball of cotton and put it in the palm of his palm.
Li Xueyan calmed down and raised her head: "What's the matter?"
After all, they are girls from wealthy families. Their adaptability is stronger than that of ordinary people. As the topic changes, people become calmer.
Li Hao fiddled with the cotton in his hand and said, "Although this thing has the function of keeping warm, the value of it is greatly reduced because of the existence of cotton seeds. If human resources are used to separate the cotton seeds, the cost will inevitably increase exponentially."
"What should I do?" Li Xueyan's voice was a little concerned.
Her current position has completely turned to Li Hao's side. All she thought about and did was centered on the man in front of her, and her IQ began to plummet.
However, Li Hao was all thinking about cotton at this time, and did not notice the girl's abnormality. He said to himself: "So we need a machine called a seed removal machine, which uses a machine to replace manual labor. Unfortunately, this machine is still a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water, and someone must study it."
Machine..., research..., Li Xueyan couldn't help but feel powerless, which is not what she is good at.
Although women in the Tang Dynasty had the habit of not loving red makeup and martial arts makeup, most women were still more traditional. At most, they were slightly involved in some of the Three Bonds and Five Constant Constitutions and Confucian classics, and they spent more time studying taking care of their husbands and children and women’s red.
So when Li Hao proposed to study the machine, Li Xueyan instantly fell into a state of self-blame and said unconsciously: "But, but I don't, I don't understand."
"Ah?" Li Hao originally wanted to continue talking, but was interrupted by Li Xueyan, and blurted out: "What does this have to do with whether you understand? Do you still want to study this yourself?"
The speaker was unintentional. Listening to intentionality, Li Hao's unintentional words immediately made the girl pout.
What does it mean? Isn't believe in this girl?
Although this girl is indeed not good at this, you can't be so direct.
Fortunately, Princess Xueyan didn't have that kind of spoiled temperament. She covered her resentment by combing her long hair in her temples and asked softly: "What do you mean by Dejian?"
Li Hao finally heard the girl's tone of displeasure and smiled bitterly: "I mean to hand over this task to the guys of the Technical College and let them find time to study it. If you have time, you'd better help me supervise it, so that they can speed up and strive to complete it in half a month."
Is the Technical College? It is the most mysterious place in the Tang Dynasty, and even the imperial palace cannot be compared with it.
Although the Tai Chi Palace is strictly guarded, she can go to most places as long as Li Xueyan is willing.
But the Technical College is not the case. Without His Majesty's order, except for the guy in front of him, no one else could enter the concrete castle that was set up outside the city and covered acres.
Thinking of this, Li Xueyan asked eagerly: "What do you mean is that I can enter and exit the Technical College at will?"
"Uh..., it's not that casual, and you can't get into some places." Li Hao touched his nose awkwardly.
This is not because he is stingy, but because the Technical College has too many secrets at the moment, it is not a place where people can visit it.
Not to mention the distance, let’s talk about the gunpowder formula laboratory covering an area of about 500 acres, which includes five or six workshops, including sulfuric acid, nitric acid workshop, smokeless gunpowder workshop.
Even if these places are not afraid of the leak of formula, they are not even dangerous, and they are not places that ordinary people can visit.
Not to mention that there are many strange experimental projects in the Technical College, ranging from papermaking test workshops involving civilians to metallurgical material formula test workshops.
Although Li Xueyan didn't know what was in the Technical College, she also knew that her performance just now made Li Hao embarrassed. Qiongbi wrinkled slightly and snorted: "Okay, I just said that, it seemed like someone would like to go in."
"Hehe..." Li Hao chuckled: "Actually, it's not that we can't see it. The main reason is that many places inside are too dangerous. One accidental death is a hundred or ten people, so it's better not to visit it."
Li Hao looked at him with a blank look, and Li Xueyan cleverly took the initiative to change the topic: "By the way, is there anything else besides the seed removal machine you mentioned?"
Li Hao nodded: "Of course, there is, the matter of seed removal machines is actually not that important. Letting you be responsible is just to better understand the production process of these equipment. What's more important is that I plan to set up a business that specializes in selling this type of machinery. If you are interested, you can leave it to you to take responsibility."
With Li Xueyan's intelligence, she keenly grasped the point in Li Hao's words: "What are these kinds of machinery?"
"At present... there is only one type of spinning machine. The spinning speed can reach ten times the previous one. If you are interested, you can take this to the exhibition and I believe you can sell it for a good price." Li Hao's pupils were almost square in his words. At this time, there was nothing else in his mind, and there was only money.
Li Xueyan was embarrassed to be stared at, and lowered her head again, and after a while, she said, "If you can trust me, then leave this matter to me."
"Okay, then that's all. You come to me at this time tomorrow. I'll take you to the Technical College to see the situation." Seeing Li Xueyan agreeing, Li Hao was happy and directly issued an order to expel the guest.
But then again, he was forced to do so.
As the saying goes, a penny stumps a hero.
Thinking back to the beginning, Qin Qiong and Qin Second Master, who was hit by the three states and six prefectures, was trapped by money and even sold his beloved Huang Pima. Li Hao believed that he was not as good as his master and had no horse to sell, so he could only sell his beloved spinning machine.
Hey, wait, what did I do just now?
Looking at the empty room, Li Hao suddenly realized, as if... he had offended someone just now.
...
On the way to the Rencheng royal palace, Li Xueyan lightly bit her lower lip, and the embroidered handkerchief in her hand was almost twisted into a ball of linen.
Stinky wood, rotten wood, stupid wood, people are kind enough to see you, it would be fine if you don’t say thank you, but you won’t even say good words. Apart from asking others to do this or that, is it your dear princess who is your commander?
Mei Xiang didn't know what happened in the room after she left. Seeing Li Xueyan's worries, she couldn't help asking: "Princess, what's wrong with you? Could it be that she had a conflict with the prince?"
"Don't mention him to me, this guy who is ignorant of the charm." Li Xueyan snorted and said with a pout.
Mei Xiang's mouth twitched, and she was still fat and waterless. Why didn't she understand the charm? Is there any misunderstanding here?
Waiting to ask again, a sudden "boom" sound was heard, and the carriage suddenly trembled violently. The huge impact caused the two people in the carriage to fall. Before Li Xueyan and Mei Xiang could react, someone shouted loudly and said, "How come you drive? You don't have eyes!"
Then the voice of his own coachman Lao Qin: "You are blind, you dare to hit the carriage in the Rencheng Palace. If you hurt my princess, you will make your whole family die." Then, the carriage of the carriage was slapped outside, and Lao Qin's voice came in: "Princess, are you okay with Miss Mei Xiang?"
"It's okay." Li Xueyan bit her teeth and replied to Lao Qin. She sat up with Mei Xiang's support, and said coldly to her: "You go out and see which other party is. She doesn't even take Rencheng Royal Mansion seriously."
Although she has a quiet personality and doesn't like to cause trouble, she is no matter how she says that she is the dignified princess. At this moment, the carriage was hit, and the other party didn't apologize and instead scolded her, which made her scold her. How could she bear it?
Mei Xiang was not afraid of trouble either. After receiving Li Xueyan's instructions, she got up and lifted the curtain and walked out. She stood on the shaft of the car and scolded the other coachman and said, "Whose servant are you? Let the person in charge of your family come out to answer."
The sound was right, and the curtains on the opposite carriage were raised, revealing a pretty face that was shattered. He ignored Mei Xiang and said to Li Xueyan's carriage: "Sister Xueyan is so powerful. A maid can even scold the little sister at will, which makes the little sister very embarrassed."
The familiar voice made Li Xueyan in the carriage stunned slightly. He opened the curtain of the car window and looked at the other party coldly: "I really didn't expect that it was you, Hou Xuanxuan."
"Isn't it me?" The woman opposite smiled, as if a hundred flowers were blooming, and said lightly: "Sister Xueyan is so angry with Zhun. The carriages are so fast in the downtown area. This is thanks to the strong carriages of my younger sister. If it were someone else's, they would be knocked apart."
Hou Xuanxuan, the daughter of Hou Junji, the Minister of War, fully inherited the domineering side of her father. She also relied on her beauty and never took the girl of her same generation into consideration. She even made bold statements that the position of the crown princess was her.
In short, this girl is the type that is so crazy that she is very unpopular.
Of course, this is limited to women. As for men, half of the crazy bees and butterflies in Chang'an City are flocking to this woman.
Li Xueyan naturally disliked this woman very much. She frowned and said disdainfully: "Hou Xuanxuan, don't be pretending to be there. The road is so wide, and it's a big blame for your coachman if you hit her."
Hou Xuanxuan showed that she didn't take Li Xueyan seriously and said in a coquettish voice: "Oh, what Sister Xueyan said means is that this road is from your Rencheng Royal Mansion. If you hit it, you will be a white collision. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk t
"You..." Li Xueyan's eyes were so angry that she opened her eyes wide open, but she didn't know how to fight back, and she looked very wronged.
Seeing this, Hou Xuanxuan showed the winner's smile, put the curtain on the car casually, and said with disdain: "Carrier, let's go, where are the people from the Rencheng Royal Mansion, we can't afford to offend."
The coachman of the Hou family smiled and said with a thorn: "Miss, sit firmly, beware of any blind eye bumps into your body, which will hurt your jade body."
The sound of horse hooves and the sound of the carriage was gone. The huge impact did not seem to cause any damage to Hou Xuanxuan's carriage. Instead, Li Xueyan's carriage was hit by the axle and could not leave even if she wanted to.
After checking the axle, the coachman Lao Qin said bitterly: "Princess..., I deserve to die, I'm wronged."
"Forget it, this matter has nothing to do with you. She just happened to run into it on purpose." Li Xueyan forced herself to hold back the grievance in her heart, waved her hand at Lao Tan.
"Princess..." Mei Xiang also returned to the carriage at this time and said indignantly: "Why did she let her go so easily just now? If you ask her for such a person once, she will become more serious next time."
Li Xueyan smiled bitterly and shook her head: "What if I don't let her leave? Can I still fight her in front of so many people on this street?"
"Can……"
"Forget it, let's go back first." Li Xueyan stopped Mei Xiang's words, walked out of the carriage, walked out of the carriage along the pedal, and walked forward alone, with her back looking a little lonely.
She also wants to educate the ungrateful woman opposite, but after teaching her a lesson, what do you want others to think?
How will other people spread it?
Will anyone deliberately take this opportunity to slander Li Daozong?
The King of Rencheng seemed to be glorious on the surface, but Li Xueyan behind her knew that her father was walking on thin ice every moment, for fear that there would be any rumors that caused the Emperor to misunderstand.
So it was not that she could not leave that woman, but she did not dare.
...
Just as Li Xueyan walked back to the Rencheng Palace with grievances, the carriage of the Hou Mansion was parked in front of the Duke of Wei. Hou Xuanxuan, dressed up, walked off the carriage step by step after the maid picked up the curtain.
He looked up at the plaque of the Duke of Wei's Mansion, turned to the maid beside him and said, "Go and hand me over my famous post."
"No!" The maid responded obediently, took out the gold-burned post from her sleeve and handed it to the guards guarding at the door: "Go to inform your princess, and say Miss Xuanxuan, the Houfu, is here to visit."
The guard guard at the gate also had a wink. Seeing that Hou Xuanxuan was very grand, he carefully posted the name and was about to send it to the mansion, but he saw his young master coming out from inside, his lazy look in sharp contrast with Hou Xuanxuan standing outside.
"Miss Xuanxuan? I don't seem to know her?" He took the famous post from the guard and put it in front of him to look at it. Li Hao casually handed it back to the maid who was looking at him curiously, and yawned, "Tell your lady, just say I'm not here."
maid:"……"
Guard: "..."
Hou Xuanxuan: “…”
You dare not be perfunctory and say that you are not here in front of others, but you can say it out loud.
Stepping in front of Li Hao, Hou Xuanxuan raised her head slightly and looked at Li Hao with a smile: "Brother Shi, why should you keep others from thousands of miles away? Xuanxuan came here this time to discuss with Brother Shi."
