Chapter 807: The Great Noble

Seeing Zhu Houzhao's excited look, Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but take a deep breath and said, "Speaking of this, I've worked hard for the two uncles. I didn't expect such an effect to be there, but today's effect is amazing. In fact, I love to listen to such interesting stories and jokes. Your Majesty, please wait and see."

Speaking of fanning the flames, no one is better at it than Ye Chunqiu.

It’s not that he is good at spreading rumors and causing trouble, but that Ye Chunqiu understands the necessary conditions required for public opinion.

People always like gossip, but nothing can attract everyone's interest.

But if this gossip involves royal relatives, donkeys, and donkeys sitting in a sedan chair, if the upright ministers and elements such as an angry voice in the palace are combined together, it will be enough to make everyone interested.

The donkey sits in a sedan chair, and the donkey sits in a sedan chair. As soon as this joke came out, it really became popular in the entire capital.

After all, people still hate officials and wealthy people. After all, ordinary people are miserable. You high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen, not to mention that you are usually pampered and live a favorable life, people have to carry on the way. Those who see them are envious and can't help but feel angry.

As a result, this donkey was even more popular in the sedan chair. Many people were making fun of it behind their backs. Some people felt uncomfortable when they heard it. This donkey was simply a weapon to curse people in this era, which led to many adults paying for it and they deliberately rushed earlier, for fear that there would be more people on the street and attracted some sarcastic gazes.

Officials are the most shameless. After all, there are very few things like the one named Zhang.

…………

In the Liu Mansion, Liu Jian was originally from a large family, so Liu Jian, the chief minister, had a large mansion. He had already put on his court clothes early this morning and walked slowly to the middle gate.

At this time, the servants who served him had been waiting at the door. Liu Jian was a low-key person. Although he was the chief assistant, he usually only entered and exited with a blue-nie sedan.

A servant had already opened the curtain for him, and the sedan chair was hanging forward, waiting for the master to enter the sedan chair.

Liu Jian looked at the small sedan chair, but was a little lost.

He had heard of some rumors outside. When he thought of the donkey sitting in a sedan chair, he felt uncomfortable. Others could ignore the rumors, but Liu Jian could not ignore them. Although the reputation he had won in his life may not dare to laugh at him, most people still respect him, but he cherished his feathers and always felt that there was a thorn in his throat.

Liu Jian took two steps forward, but suddenly remembered something, and then said, "A few days ago, didn't the Zhenguo Mansion send a carriage?"

The manager was busy and bowed and said, "Yes, I sent it specially a few days ago and I even reported it to the master."

Liu Jian held his hands behind his back, nodded carelessly, and said, "Last time I heard from you, the prince came to visit the mansion, and he also took a bus, right?"

The manager said, "That's right, I came by a bus, and the prince said it's OK."

Liu Jian pondered for a while and finally said, "Go and pull that car here."

"Master, this is not good to take the bus."

It is really not good to take a bus. As an official, of course he has to take a sedan chair, so how can he take a bus?

Liu Jian smiled and said disrespectfully: "Why can't I do it if he can sit, it's okay."

The Liu family members hurriedly pulled a cart. In fact, Liu Jian saw this car for the first time. In his impression, it was probably the ordinary carriage with horses with horses in front of two wheels, but never expected that this car would be four wheels.

Four wheels...

He squinted his eyes and said that the carriages of the Ming Dynasty were all made of two wheels. In fact, Liu Jian didn't know the reason.

In fact, there was no front-wheel steering device in ancient China, so the main development was a two-wheeled carriage. Although the two-wheeled carriage was suitable for steering, if the four-wheeled carriage had no steering device, it could only be forward and backward, but not left and right. Of course, the advantage of the four-wheeled carriage was its stability and comfort. At this time, Liu Jian soon discovered that this carriage was different from the carriage he had seen on weekdays.

Because it is four wheels, especially in an umbrella-shaped manner, it is painted at the same time, so it looks particularly elegant and luxurious. The four large wheels are made of stainless steel. I don’t know what is covered at the wheel hub, but it seems to be a soft object. There is actually a small chair connected to the carriage before, which is obviously the coachman sitting.

This carriage looks much more grand than the eight-carriage sedan.

Especially in the carriage, there were inscriptions like the Young Master Liu Mansion engraved with golden lacquer.

When the car was delivered, someone specially taught some knowledge about the driver, such as how to turn and accelerate, and even brake the vehicle in an emergency. There is a long pole under the driver's seat. If you beat it hard, you can stop the vehicle as much as possible.

The coachman originally thought that the master would not be able to take this car. Most of the ladies and young masters in the mansion were having fun while they were having fun, so he was not prepared. At this time, he was a little nervous and hurriedly opened the car door. There was a special small staircase on the car door, so there was no need to step on a high stool like other carriages, which was too indecent.

After all, Liu Jian was the chief assistant. Although he saw new things, he did not show any horror. He slowly got into the car. The space in the car was quite large. There was a horse lantern specially designed with glass lampshades, which were hung in the car, with lights faintly visible.

Because the car was sent to Liu Jian, it was naturally a "prestigious type". There was a large sofa inside, and there was also a very small coffee table with a few small drawers next to it. Obviously, some official documents could be placed. There was even a small garden hole on the tea table that was concave and fixed the tea cup. In this way, if a cup of tea was placed on it, the carriage would not bump out the tea.

Liu Jian felt it was fresh at this time. This was obviously a completely different experience from sitting in a sedan chair. He sat slowly on the sofa and immediately fell into the soft sofa. The sofa was covered with skin, but there were springs and cotton wool inside. This sitting was more than ten times more comfortable than a straight official hat chair. Even compared to that sedan chair, it was still much more comfortable.

When Liu Jian sat here, he realized that he had a real official style. How could the sedan chair have such enjoyment before? Although some people can feel comfortable with the eight-carriage sedan chair, Liu Jian has also been sitting in the eight-carriage sedan chair, but he still lacks much less than this one.
