Chapter 199: Happy pulse?

Xue Chi seemed to be able to guess what Xue Mei wanted to ask.

"Is she dead when living in Zhihuai Pavilion?" Xue Mei asked.

Xue Chi: "..."

This is a very weird question.

Xue Chi cannot tell where the trap is in an instant, because there is more than one trap in this question.

How can he answer so that he can not reveal his bottom line?

He glanced at Xue Mei quietly.

Xue Mei smiled and said, "Brother, you can't answer. Anyway, you will understand the matter of tung oil sooner or later."

Xue Chi pondered for a moment before saying, "You did ask me a difficult question."

"Oh, you think it's a problem, so you know the reason for the fire in Huai Pavilion, and you also know the fake identity of that person." Xue Mei smiled, "Okay, I have a look."

Xue Chi: "..."

It was not until this moment that he realized that there were also traps when answering or not answering.

Xue Mei must have known something so she asked this question. She started from such a tricky perspective, which caught Xue Chi off guard.

Xue Chi wanted to ask her if the little prince told her his secret.

But after asking this question, it was even more exposed.

Xue Chi sighed deeply.

It was ridiculous that he was completely exposed to Xue Mei and tried to cover it up.

"Tung oil is not a big secret. I tell you, you owe me a favor. Next time I ask for this favor, you can't refuse." Xue Mei smiled.

Xue Chi seemed to be really interested in tung oil and nodded: "Okay, I owe you."

Xue Mei poured wine for him, and while eating, she talked about the various tung oil.

Xue Chi only held the glass of wine, and Jing was shocked.

At this stage, there is no industrialization or thermal weapons, and the value of tung oil is simply to maintain wood products.

But many wood products, such as ships, are very needed.

With tung oil, the shipbuilding industry may develop greatly. As long as you see business opportunities and boldly develop, you may make a fortune.

Finally, he asked Xue Mei: "So, tung oil has so many uses, but you have used it in the most valuable place?"

"The most valuable?" Xue Mei couldn't hear this, "Umbrellas are necessities of life. Ordinary people are food, clothing, housing and transportation. Umbrellas are related to 'travel'. It's so important, do you actually say it is worthless?

Are only strategic materials considered valuable? Brother, you are biased and don’t always use a grand vision. We must start from small places.

In this regard, you can't compare with the little prince. Is your vision too high and not down-to-earth enough? Brother, no matter what you do, it will be difficult to succeed without being down-to-earth."

Xue Chi's heart moved slightly when she said it.

Many things suddenly became clear.

Over the years, Xue Chi has been considering the meaning of his survival; after his legs are well, he thinks more about what path he wants to go.

Xue Mei's words cleared away the dark clouds and allowed him to see the sunshine that had been defiant for a long time.

His heart became brighter.

"You are right, food, clothing, housing and transportation are crucial." Xue Chi said, but instead he was caught in a dead end.

Xue Mei laughed again and picked up a chopstick dish by herself: "Brother, you can listen to others. If you become the emperor, you will definitely be a good person to listen to both sides."

Xue Chi suddenly sank her face: "What are you talking about?"

If she was so ruthless, she would just speak out.

Perhaps in Xue Mei's mind, the emperor is nothing, but that's it.

Xue Mei stuck out her tongue: "Fortunately there is no Jinyiwei, otherwise she would have to behead her head?"

"Embroidered Uniform Guard?"

"...If you don't talk about these, brother, the biggest dilemma between me and the young prince is the oil pressing technology. The oil produced by the wood pressing is too low." Xue Mei said.

Xue Chi pondered.

"If you change the oil pressing technology, you can get more cooked tung oil. Is that what you mean?" he asked.

Xue Mei nodded.

Xue Chi nodded: "I understand."

Xue Mei picked up food for him: "Eat, the food will get cold later."

Xue Chi nodded, remembered something, and asked her again: "Do you have any impression of the Jiang Dong'an you met last time?"

"Yes." Xue Mei smiled, "I feel very kind as soon as I see him."

"Have you seen him?"

"No, it's like feeling." Xue Mei smiled, "He must be a good person."

"But so, he is not very smart." Xue Chi said, "Everything else is fine."

Xue Mei: "..."

The brother and sister said something for a moment, and Xue Chi left.

Xue Mei thought about what she had to do tonight, and then told her that after getting together, some problems were about to emerge.

However, it has nothing to do with her.

Xue Chi won't harm her.

At least he won't harm her after she lets him stand up.

Compared to Xue Chi, is there no secret of Xue Mei herself? Her secret is even harder to explain, but Xue Chi never talks about it.

He can do it, but Xue Mei can do it, so she doesn't ask.

It is mid-February, when the weather is clear, it is warm and bright. Many noble girls gather frequently and have various fun with them with clear intentions.

For the Xue family, after the funeral is over twenty-seven days, there is no such thing as a wedding, no invitation to a opera troupe, or going out to attend banquets or social events.

However, Xue Mei used the excuse of "mother's death is so sad" to push all the invitations, and she didn't like to gather with those noble girls.

The reasons for the times and customs, the goal of noble women in their lives, is also the only way they can go, which is to get married - they have no choice. In this dynasty, they are not considered complete people.

Xue Mei wanted to go another way.

It’s not that she is arrogant and unsociable, but that she really “dids are different and they don’t plan for each other.”

When she was at home, she was reading books, practicing calligraphy, and shaping her body, and reading some medical books given to her by the Lu family.

Medical books are traditional Chinese medicine, and Xue Mei is learning to take the pulse.

This is very difficult. According to Mr. Lu, if you don’t study for ten years, you won’t be a teacher.

"Your pulse is a little slippery." Xue Mei said as she diagnosed her fifth brother Xue Run.

The maids laughed and made a bunch of laughter.

Who hasn't hired a doctor?

The doctor said that the pulse was slippery, which mostly refers to the happy pulse and getting pregnant. If the fifth young master was the fifth lady, everyone might be suspicious, but...

Xue Run also knew the meaning of slippery pulse, and his face turned dark: "Big sister, you have been studying for a long time and have only learned half a bucket of water? If you go out for a consultation, you have to ask someone to call him back."

Xue Mei: "Let me take a look."

Xue Run refused: "I have something to do, please be stubborn with Hongluan and the others. Go back and find out what disease you will get for me, which will scare me to death."

He turned around and ran away, and made a judgment on his elder sister's medical skills, "Mens!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Xue Mei: "..."

It's really hard to take the pulse.

Xue Mei wanted to give Hongluan a try, but was rejected.

Hongluan: "It's nothing if you find a slippery pulse for the fifth young master. If you find a slippery pulse for me, will I still be alive?"

From then on, the maids refused to take their pulses. They only had their mother bold, not afraid of Xue Mei's nonsense, and were willing to be a guinea pig.

In addition to reading, Xue Mei also accidentally went to the Lu family to discuss medical skills with Mr. Lu and teach Lu Shu and Lu Wen.

She took the skin and asked Lu Shu and Lu Wen to practice sewing, and then experimented on the human body in the future.

Lu Shu practiced very well, but Lu Wen was a little reluctant.

On this day, Xue Mei went to the Lu family again, but was stopped by someone on the way.

"Who?" Xue Mei asked the coachman.

The coachman didn't say anything, and Xue Mei looked at the prime screen.

Jinping lifted the car curtain, took a look, put down the car curtain, and looked at Xue Mei silently.

Before Xue Mei could ask anything, the curtain of the car was lifted up, and the person who stopped the car came up directly.

Xue Meiwei was surprised.
