Chapter 125: Once Liu Xianglian enters Rongguo Mansion
After leaving Ningguo Mansion, Liu Xianglian felt lingering fear.
After calming down, he entered a rouge and gouache shop. The gouache and rouge used by these women was the best pigment for him.
When he came out again, no one could recognize his original appearance.
With a handsome face, Liu Xianglian looked in the mirror and made a few moves. She was very satisfied. She threw down a few cents of silver and merged into the passing crowd.
It is not difficult to sneak into the Rongguo Mansion, but the difficulty is how to get close to Jia Baoyu.
This guy likes to hang out with women no matter what, and in such a wealthy family, unmarried men and women live separately after the age of twelve, and usually only see each other a few times throughout the year.
What's more, an outsider like him sneaked in.
"Well... Jia Baoyu not only likes to infiltrate women, but also likes some interesting or clever things. If you work hard in this area, maybe you can."
Just do whatever comes to mind. The only craft Liu Xianglian is confident of surpassing everyone else in the world is carpentry.
It's not because of how clever he is, it's simply because he stands on the shoulders of giants.
The emperor granted a general amnesty to the people and enjoyed themselves with the people. Regardless of whether there was any inside story, the most important thing was that it provided an excellent excuse for all the wealthy families in the capital to have fun.
No matter rich or poor, rich or powerful, the hottest topic these days is undoubtedly how to have fun.
Got it!
Liu Xianglian went to the board market, picked out some good materials, and bought a set of special tools for carpenters.
"Boss, let me use your place!"
"Hangsheng, didn't you buy these and take them back for your family to use?"
The boss selling wood looked at the thin Liu Xianglian in surprise and asked.
Liu Xianglian smiled and said: "You look down on people, don't you? My ancestors were carpenters."
The boss smiled and said nothing. People in his line of work still don’t know the characteristics of a craftsman?
There is no one as tender-skinned and tender as the boy in front of me.
"Okay, sir, you can just stay in the open space next to me. This is my place. I would like to open my eyes by seeing the craftsmanship of your ancestors."
Liu Xianglian smiled confidently: "Okay, if you can understand my skills, you will definitely be the richest man in Dazhou in the future!"
The shop owner smiled flatteringly: "I accept your good advice. If I become the richest man, I will give you half of the shares!"
They are all bragging anyway, no one would brag to a bigger point.
"Then you should keep an eye on it."
Liu Xianglian has never thought about building a business empire by engaging in carpentry in the future, nor does she cherish the craft of carpentry.
The pieces of wood were processed by the tools in Liu Xianglian's hands, and soon turned into wooden pieces of different shapes one after another.
The wood shop owner just glanced at it casually at first, then his eyes lit up when he saw Liu Xianglian's movements. Is this a wooden product with a mortise and tenon structure?
Although the craftsmanship is exquisite, he is obviously not skilled in it, and he also has many carpenters who are capable of this kind of craftsmanship, so there is nothing that cannot be answered.
Duh...duh...duh!
Zhi...zhi...zhi!
After half a day's work, a bunch of project parts were finally completed.
Liu Xianglian wiped the sweat from her forehead and nodded with satisfaction: "How are you? Are you shocked by my amazing skills?"
"Haha, I'm so shocked! I really made a mistake. Young Master Wenwen is weak, but when it comes to carpentry work, his actions are not weak at all. I admire you, I admire you!"
Liu Xianglian secretly laughed in her heart, none of these businessmen were sincere.
Obviously the contempt in his eyes has been transformed into words, but it almost hits him in the face and he still compliments himself against his will.
"Are you shocked by this? There is something even more shocking, don't blink!"
Liu Xianglian's hands began to move rapidly. The shop owner was still disdainful at first, but as time went by, an increasingly incredible expression appeared on his face: "This... this is not the mortise and tenon craftsmanship, this... this is brand new
A craft system! Genius, genius!”
Liu Xianglian was focused on nothing else, and one wooden piece after another was taking shape in his hands.
In his previous life, he had an engineering background, and he had been a loyal Lego enthusiast since he was a child, loving all kinds of incredible design realizations.
It's just that her hands-on ability is a little weaker, but this life is different. Liu Xianglian, who once had powerful martial arts, even though she has no martial arts now, the flexibility of her hands and the coordination of her body are far more than ten times that of her previous life.
A solid-wing glider like an albatross was born under Liu Xianglian's hands.
During this period, Watt in the West should have developed the world's first practical steam engine, and it wouldn't be too much to take Da Zhou to appreciate some of the charm of the sky, right?
"Okay, you're done!"
The main body of the aircraft is about 80 centimeters hollow and has a wingspan of about 1.8 meters. A skinny figure like Liu Xianglian can just put it on her body for a start, and then shrink her legs and take off.
The most critical part is the controller connected to the wing. With a slight turn, you can control the angle of the wing facing the wind, achieving the effect of controlling direction and speed.
Of course, Liu Xianglian had no intention of telling the wood shop owner about this special internal structure.
"A miracle, a miracle! Master, your ancestors are really geniuses! Could it be that you are a descendant of Lu Ban, the god of craftsmanship?"
Liu Xianglian smiled dryly and said: "Thank you, I don't have the honor to meet Master Luban. This craft is just an extension of the mortise and tenon craftsmanship. How about it, do you have Qian Jing?"
"Yes, yes, that's great! As long as you are willing to tell me all the details of this secret technique, I am sure that I will be able to carry forward this craft within three years!"
The owner of the wood shop also has very poisonous eyes. Although he just noticed that Liu Xianglian's craftsmanship is not simple, he watched it wholeheartedly, but he also knows that this production method is not easy either. Its biggest advantage is that it can be broken into parts and can be mass-produced with complex
of wood products.
However, there are many things that need to be paid attention to. In addition to the quality of the wood itself, there are also issues of friction and maintenance at the joints between the wood parts, and linkage design issues between the wood parts.
"Have vision!"
Liu Xianglian smiled slightly: "The knowledge here is not simple. It took my ancestors hundreds of years to perfect this craft. I couldn't explain the principles contained in it to you even for three days and three nights. At the moment, I still have what to do.
If you are really serious about it, go to Jinling in three days to find a man named Huang San, and we will discuss it in detail!"
"Sir, although your craftsmanship is superb, this thing you made..."
Although the lumber store owner is a little jealous, he will not invest blindly.
When doing business, you must conduct thorough research to make an accurate judgment on your investment, rather than accepting death emotionally.
Liu Xianglian smiled playfully: "You might as well guess what this thing is used for."
"Little old man, can you take a closer look?"
"sure!"
Liu Xianglian never thought of hiding it when she made this thing, and he didn't intend to hide it either.
Because this thing is now a rare Western treasure specially presented by Baochai to his aunt, Mrs. Wang. There is nothing that no one can see.
The shop owner approached Liu Xianglian's small plane and looked left and right, wondering: "Could it be the wooden kite from the public transportation class?"
"Haha, no. What is the use of this thing? I can't tell you now, but it doesn't matter. Within three days, you will know its famous name! That's it. If I were you, I would pack my bags now.
I’m going to Jinling. Of course, if you are willing to work at your own shop for the rest of your life, just pretend I didn’t say anything.”
Liu Xianglian thanked the boss again, and then hired a carriage to drive to Jia's house.
Not long after, they arrived at the red-painted gate of Rongguo Mansion. Liu Xianglian looked at the two stone lions standing next to Jia Mansion and couldn't help but want to laugh.
"Sir, stop here?"
"Hey, this door is not for people like us to enter. Let's go west."
Daiyu should have gone through the west corner gate when she entered Jia's house. Liu Xianglian naturally wanted to see how wronged Sister Lin had been.
The carriage creaked and creaked for another ten minutes before stopping.
"Stop it!"
The driver stopped the carriage and Liu Xianglian jumped out.
The west corner gate is only about 1.5 meters wide from side to side. No wonder the original book said that Sister Lin left the sedan when she arrived at the west corner gate and was welcomed in by several women and maids.
It's such a narrow broken door that it's impossible to get in without leaving the sedan chair.
"What a Rongguo Mansion! It's really a utilitarian place where people are flattered and suppressed without family affection!"
Liu Xianglian sighed: "Brother, please lift my baby down and put it down gently."
"Ai!"
Liu Xianglian's money is sufficient, and the driver is also diligent.
The small plane weighing nearly 60 kilograms was moved down by the driver, and Liu Xianglian had already walked towards the servant of Rongguo Mansion with a greeting card and a "handwritten letter" from Baochai.
"Dare I ask if this is Rongguo Mansion!?"
Liu Xianglian asked one of the servants who looked like the leader with a pleasant expression.
A few people were bragging and chatting, talking about whose daughter-in-law was coquettish and which brothel girl was good-natured, when they suddenly saw a handsome young man coming to ask questions. They were a little surprised.
"Who in the capital doesn't know that our Rongguo Mansion is right here! Who are you? Where are you from? What are your intentions?"
Ah!
Liu Xianglian did not expect that the gatekeepers of Rongguo Mansion would be so difficult to deal with. As soon as they met, they threw out several philosophical propositions for themselves.
Liu Xianglian smiled, trying her best not to look like she deserved a beating: "I'm from the Xue family in Jinling! This is a greeting card."
"Nine Concave and Concave Paintings" was not learned in vain. After Liu Xianglian became proficient in it, various extended uses of it were also developed. As long as it was the signature text he had seen with his own eyes, he could depict it exactly the same.
Unless you are a legendary scholar who can see the literary spirit in the characters, it is absolutely impossible to distinguish the authenticity from the fake.
In the Xue family, except for Xue Dashuai, he can perfectly reproduce the characters of Baochai and Aunt Xue.
It’s not that idiot Xue’s handwriting is domineering, but that this fellow has never touched pen and ink at all. No matter how careful Liu Xianglian is, she can’t describe such an illiterate person.
"The Xue family? But the Xue family has a lot of snow during the good years?"
"Exactly!"
The servant didn't accept the invitation because he couldn't read at all, so Saya ran to the Rongguo Mansion, shouting as he ran: "Someone from the Xue family is here, someone from the Xue family is here!"
Chapter completed!
