Chapter 188 Trend (asking for monthly ticket)
The veil hat was made by You when Zhao Yuanxi asked him to do so. It was never used in Yongcheng, but I didn't expect to use it in Xianyang.
The Empress Dowager has been wearing a veil when going out recently, which has inevitably caused a lot of speculation among people.
Some people suspected that the Queen Mother had contracted a serious illness, and some even speculated that the Queen Mother in Ganquan Palace was no longer Queen Mother Zhao.
After hearing these rumors, Zhao Yuanxi couldn't help but burst into laughter. It turned out that there were always conspiracy theorists in every era. She was still here, so how could there be rumors that she was sick and dead?
"No need to bring it today. Bring me a long black silk."
Common people in Qin State often tied their hair into a bun and wrapped their heads with cloth, so it was not surprising that Zhao Yuanxi tied his hair with cloth, and it even had some sense of being a romantic and elegant scholar.
"How is it?" Zhao Yuanxi looked in the mirror, obviously very satisfied with her look. If she held a feather fan, it would be more in line with her image.
However, she was not yet able to fan herself in the middle of winter.
"It's a bit strange, but it's still beautiful." Jang Geum said frankly.
Zhao Yuanxi smiled lightly, "Come on, let's go out for a walk."
People came and went in Ganquan Palace, and when they saw the empress dowager, they all bowed. Seeing that the empress dowager was in high spirits and showed no signs of illness, those groundless speculations naturally disappeared. Many people even noticed the empress dowager's hairstyle and felt a little curious.
People have always liked to pursue beautiful things since ancient times, but if you want to look good, you can't avoid decorating it with gold, silver, and jewelry. However, the Queen Mother achieved an unexpected effect with just a long piece of cloth, which attracted many people to imitate her.
It was several days later when Zhao Yuanxi learned about this.
She couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect that I still have the ability to bring goods!"
"Bringing goods?"
“Just by using one thing, people will rush to buy it.”
Jang Geum smiled and said, "The Queen Mother is the most noble woman in the world, so it's natural that everyone will follow her example."
"Learn from me?" Zhao Yuanxi pointed at himself, seeming a little bit unbelievable.
"Then don't just focus on dressing up!" she muttered softly.
She knows so many things, wouldn't it be good for her to learn some serious knowledge?
However, this gave her inspiration.
People do need a role model to attract more people to follow suit.
Of course, Zhao Yuanxi had no intention of setting an example. It wasn't that she couldn't do it, but she was afraid that her image would collapse one day, and it was too hard to maintain it. Of course, she should let others do this kind of thing.
But she still needs to think carefully about the candidate. First of all, the person must be smart, preferably good-looking, and of course, he must be a good person.
Come to think of it, there aren't many people around her who meet the requirements.
"Empress Dowager, the oak craftsman and Mr. Han Chong and Mr. Shi Sheng are back."
The sound outside interrupted Zhao Yuanxi's thoughts.
"Let them in!"
The palace door was pushed open and several people strode in.
"No need to be polite, just sit down first! Look at all the happy faces on your faces, I guess you must have brought good news." Zhao Yuanxi asked with a smile.
They exchanged a few smiles but didn't sit down. Li first stepped forward and said, "Empress Dowager, please move outside Ganquan Palace and take a look."
Zhao Yuanxi raised her eyebrows. Was this a big job for her?
Outside Ganquan Palace, there was a tall carriage parked. If there was anything peculiar about it, it was the two pairs of wheels. They were not made of copper or iron, nor of wood, but were pitch black, and it was impossible to tell what material they were made of.
The carriage is covered with fine steel, decorated with brass, and partially inlaid with gold and silver. It is painted all over and engraved with various patterns commonly used in the Qin State. It looks very gorgeous.
The various complicated structures at the bottom of the carriage are dazzling to the eyes.
A group of palace servants gathered around to watch the fun. Although they didn't understand the ins and outs of it, they knew that the car was worth a lot of money.
Zhao Yuanxi walked out slowly with his men, and was stunned when he saw the carriage.
She just asked someone to make the right wheels, and now they have even built a complete carriage for her.
If she was not mistaken, there was a shock-absorbing device installed at the bottom!
The Qin State's technology in building carriages was already at the forefront among the vassal states. This carriage combined the most advanced technology of the Qin State with the improvements made by Li Yu based on the previous ones, and it already integrated various "high technologies" into one.
"You guys really gave me a big surprise."
Apart from not being able to move on its own, it can be said that this car has almost no shortcomings.
"How does it feel to sit?" Zhao Yuanxi asked.
"Your Majesty the Queen Mother, please give it a try. I can steer the horse for you." Han Zhong was full of confidence and was obviously very satisfied with his masterpiece.
Zhao Yuanxi and Jang Geum got on the carriage.
Once inside, the interior was no better than the outside, as it was obvious that it had not been decorated yet. However, many of the decorations on the carriage were based on the owner's own preferences, or perhaps they had deliberately not done so.
Zhao Yuanxi didn't care about this and focused all his attention on the test drive.
First of all, it is quiet. No matter how well the copper wheels or iron wheels are made, they will make various noises when driving on the road. Secondly, it is stable, more stable than ever before. And thirdly, it is faster.
Most of the materials used for the Qin Dynasty's chariot bodies are copper. A single three-person chariot weighs more than one ton. Of the same size, this chariot is obviously lighter.
Zhao Yuanxi was very satisfied with the result.
Jang Geum helped her down, and Zhao Yuanxi was still very excited, "This is really well done! There will be rewards. Today you will all be rewarded handsomely!"
"What does the Queen Mother plan to reward them with?"
Ying Zheng appeared out of nowhere.
Zhao Yuanxi was just laughing foolishly, but he immediately stopped smiling and pretended to be serious, "Why is the king here?"
"I heard that the Queen Mother has been unwell recently, so I came to visit her. Is she feeling better now?"
Zhao Yuanxi smiled calmly and said, "I'm not feeling unwell."
But she was roaring in her heart, don't think she doesn't know, it must be that person who can't control his mouth and told the news to Ying Zheng, who knows if he is here to steal things from her.
"I've been worrying too much!"
Ying Zheng chuckled, "This car has a unique design. Has the Queen Mother got a new treasure?"
Zhao Yuanxi wanted to hide it, but the thing had already been discovered, so there was no point in hiding it anymore. What's more, this kind of thing had to be promoted on a large scale to realize its true value.
Anyway, even if she loses this one, she can still make thousands and thousands of them.
Zhao Yuanxi patiently introduced the wonderful uses of this car to Ying Zheng.
At first, Ying Zheng was just curious, but then he became more and more interested.
"It's a really nice car! The rubber the Queen Mother mentioned that day actually has this use!"
Zhao Yuanxi showed a proud look on his face, "When have I ever missed this! These guys are the ones who built this car."
Ying Zheng vaguely remembered that these two were the rare people who did not go crazy after taking the elixir and were able to respond calmly. As for the other one, it seemed that he had been following the queen mother for a long time.
