Chapter 258 Chairs are divided into male and female

"Uh..." Wei Hong was speechless. Wei Hong knew about Empress Changsun's name. In order to avoid provoking this woman, Wei Hong retreated to the next best and said helplessly: "Otherwise, the subordinates would make a hand for Empress Changsun. Make Empress Changsun's chair the most exquisite, mainly highlighting its luxury. For Empress Changsun, it is a symbol of identity. As for other nobles, please wait a moment, I wonder what the emperor wants?"

Comrade Lao Li shrugged: "I'll follow you." After saying that, he said to Wei Hong and said: "I heard that there are several types of chairs. Besides this imperial chaise longue, what other chairs are there?"

Hearing this, Wei Hong immediately knew what Comrade Li had made. Although he saw through Comrade Li's thoughts, Wei Hong still said obediently: "All things in the world are divided into yin and yang poles, and creatures are divided into male and female, even this chair is divided into male and female."

"Chain is also divided into male and female? Interesting! Let me tell you how to divide it with me." Comrade Li stroked his beard and asked with great interest.

Wei Hong explained: "Ordinary chairs are not divided into male and female chairs, just sit there. There is no need to pay attention to so many things. Only high-end chairs can be divided into male and female chairs. High-end chairs include imperial concubine chaise, imperial trumpet chair, dragon chaise, phoenix couch, etc. Among them, imperial concubine chaise and phoenix couch are limited to women, while imperial trumpet chair and dragon chaise are exclusive to men. In addition, the top priority is that the dragon chaise is exclusive to the emperor. Only the emperor in the world can sit on the dragon chaise. If others dare to sit on the dragon chaise, they will be punished for their crimes! The phoenix couch is exclusive to the queen.

Like the dragon chaise, they are symbols of status, unattainable and cannot be blasphemed. This is why, the subordinates named the chaise of the imperial concubine as the word "六官网". First, they highlight the identity symbol and indicate that those who can sit on the imperial concubine are not ordinary people. Second, they only stay on the imperial concubine, not the phoenix couch to avoid shaking against the royal majesty. To put it simply, the imperial concubine chaise and the Grand Master chaise belong to the same level. As long as they can afford it, anyone can sit on it. For the dragon chaise and the phoenix couch, only the emperor and the queen can sit on it."

"Dragon chaise, phoenix bed? Why have I never heard of it before?" Comrade Li said in confusion.

Nonsense, in this era, there is not even a chair. If you have ever heard of the dragon chaise, there will be ghosts in the phoenix couch! Wei Hong was unwilling to explain to Comrade Li, but just made up a lie casually, saying that he was discovered from lost classical books and was confused.

Comrade Lao Li suddenly realized and immediately asked Wei Hong to create a dragon chaise for him. As for the imperial chaise for Empress Changsun, it was also exempted, so it could be changed to a phoenix couch. Wei Hong secretly said to himself that he was carrying the dragon chaise and the phoenix couch, why didn’t he find something for him? Since he had already said it, he could not take it back, so Wei Hong had to respond.

"Sir, this..."

"What this one is so hesitant when speaking? If you have anything to say, just say it!" Comrade Li, seeing that Wei Hong seemed to have something unspeakable, gave Wei Hong a very impatient look.

Wei Hong took a deep breath, imitated Comrade Lao Li's actions when he asked for a chaise longue just now, spread his hands to Comrade Lao Li without saying anything, and his meaning was self-evident. The money spent on building a dragon chaise longue and phoenix couch is definitely not less. Where did this money come from? At least you have to reimburse some, right? Besides, building a chair for you and asking me to pay for it. This is not appropriate.

Comrade Li understood Wei Hong's meaning, but pretended not to understand. He waved his hand at Wei Hong and said, "Since you don't say it, I won't ask more questions. Please step back. Remember to prepare the dragon chaise and phoenix bed and send it to me!" After that, he asked the eunuch to bomb Wei Hong out.

Wei Hong was not willing to suffer this loss. While pushing and shoving with the eunuch, Wei Hong opened his mouth and shouted: "Master, it costs money to build a chair, this money..."

Before Wei Hong finished speaking, Comrade Li stood up, with the solemn and sacred dragon walking and tiger walking, and he seemed to have not heard what Wei Hong said just now. But Wei Hong knew better than anyone else. The same surname as Old Li and Wei Hong were so scared that they seemed to be like something when they mentioned money. It really responded to the saying: "Everything is easy to say, but don't talk about money, talking about money hurts feelings!"

Wei Hong was bombarded out of Zichen Hall by the eunuch and walked out with resentment. While walking, he thought fiercely in his heart: "Old guy, you don't give money, right? Then don't blame me for cutting corners for you! You get what you pay for. Without capital, where can you get high-quality products?"

I thought so, but if I really wanted to start, Wei Hong didn’t dare to do it too much. After all, the dragon chaise and phoenix couch is not a joke. If it can’t be done well, it makes Comrade Li furious. That’s going to die!

Although many major events have happened recently, the relationship is too important and must be handled by heavyweights like Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, and Li Jing. Although Wei Hong is a celebrity around Comrade Li, it is really not the case that Wei Hong is busy with trouble when he meets the Uighur envoys and organizes military equipment. Don’t talk too much, you can’t even talk nonsense. If you say the wrong thing and are known by those censors who are afraid of the world’s chaos, Wei Hong will not be able to live a stable life if he adds fuel to the fire.

Since these things are not the turn of Wei Hong to worry about it, Wei Hong sought the surname to concentrate on building the dragon chaise and phoenix couch. It is said that the dragon chaise in the Qing Dynasty was made of pure gold, and I don’t know whether it is true or false. No matter whether it is true or false, Wei Hong would not use gold to cast the dragon chaise. Not to mention gold, he couldn’t even bear silver. While controlling the capital, he also had to improve the texture of all aspects of the dragon chaise. However, this was not difficult for Wei Hong. Wei Hong made a clever trick and changed the dragon chaise that should have highlighted luxury to an exquisite route. With the most basic concept of "fancy and whistle" and began to make it.

Originally, Wei Hong wanted to make the dragon chaise according to the Ming and Qing dynasties, but then I thought about it and it still left out. The craftsmanship required too high, and neither carving nor hollowing technology could be achieved in this era. After thinking for a night, Wei Hong finalized the basic prototype of the dragon chaise, and the appearance was similar to those of the high-end furniture leather seats in later generations. It only made slight changes based on the leather seats, which were larger in size, especially the back of the chair, which was larger, and the size of a single bed.

In this era, the most supreme color is black. The crown clothes that Lao Li usually attends court are black background, supplemented by red. Therefore, the color of the dragon chaise must be matched with the crown clothes of Comrade Lao Li, and cannot be compared with the yellow color advocated by the later dynasties. However, if the color of the dragon chaise is made black and red, it will look too gloomy and look lifeless. It is not like sitting for Comrade Lao Li, but more like sitting for King Yama.

For this reason, Wei Hong racked his brains to match various colors, and finally positioned the color dark gold. There was no paint like "dark gold" these days, so Wei Hong gritted his teeth and paid out of his own pocket to melt some gold and silver. First, he used silver liquid to brush the dragon chair. The silver was used more and the brushed thicker. After brushing the silver, he brushed a thin layer of gold.

After the prototype of the dragon chaise is completed, it will be packaged. (To be continued.
