The White-haired Queen

Wen Lanyue said, "Master, let Wenxin Pavilion buy and sell intelligence, Wenwu Pavilion take over assassination business, Wenchuang Pavilion buy and sell cultural and creative products, Wenxuan Pavilion develop printing technology, and Wenhui Pavilion do business. Then the money will come, right? The most urgent thing is how to invent printing technology?"

Wen Lanyue thought: "If I can get a manual on printing technology from the 'Tianxia Datong' library, everything will be settled."

The master frowned and said, "If they are willing, they won't be so poor. 'Scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans', merchants are the lowest class. They are ashamed of being called merchants and will not trade. So after you take over, you must first solve the monthly salary and business activity funds, and then slowly think of ways to see if you can change their mindset. Otherwise, it will be difficult to change the status quo."

The master went on to say, "If we ask the Wenshang Pavilion to bear the expenses of the other five pavilions, that would be a drop in the bucket and would not work at the moment. However, we can let the Wenshang Pavilion buy and sell the trading items of the other pavilions, but the time efficiency will not be improved."

Wen Lanyue could understand the ideas of the ancients. Doing things requires a process, but she didn't know whether this process would be long or short.

"Without agriculture, there is no stability; without business, there is no prosperity." It is imperative to change the concept. So she asked: "Master, I want to convene a meeting of the six cabinets as soon as possible. Only by understanding them in detail can we make some effective arrangements."

The master nodded and said, "Change the signal flare of the wooden hairpin to green and launch it into the air. You can meet them at Liu Wen Xuan at this time tomorrow. By the way, the current owner of Liu Wen Xuan is Lin Yuanzhi. Do you still remember the brother Yuanzhi you used to call?"

Wen Lanyue had no choice but to answer ambiguously: "I have some impression of you, but I haven't seen you for several years. I'm afraid I wouldn't recognize you if I met you on the road."

The master said, "Yes, you haven't seen each other for five years. At that time, you and Honghe often pestered Yuanzhi to play together. Time flies. But remember, besides you and me, there are six other pavilion masters who know about this organization. You can't let anyone else know about it. This is the secret of the royal family of Wenjing Kingdom."

Wen Lanyue nodded and said, "Disciple understands. Disciple will keep it in mind."

The master said: "You can go to Liuwen Pavilion to check the rules and regulations and information codes of Tingfeng Tower. I will also go to your first meeting, but after three months, you will be on your own."

Wen Lanyue couldn't help but ask: "Master, why is it three months later?"

The master said, "Go to your mother, she will tell you."

Wen Lanyue looked around for the door. She noticed that the room was simply furnished and spotless. Judging from the furnishings in the house, the owner was definitely a person who did things neatly and efficiently and knew how to let go of things.

Wen Lanyue looked in the direction of the door and said, "Master, I will take my leave first."

The master always felt strange when watching Wen Lanyue's back as he left. This child had never been so well-behaved in the past. As the old saying goes, "Do your job well while you are in it." It seems that one can change his character while in it.

For a disciple of a princess or queen mother, being more disciplined and steady is definitely a good thing. It seems that Yue'er has really grown a lot through the experience of the past few years...

Wen Lanyue came to the lady's room. It was just as simply furnished and just as spotless. It was hard to tell at all that she was a former queen. This room was even simpler than the cold palace, but it was definitely more free than the cold palace.

Wen Lanyue sat down next to the lady and said coquettishly, "Mom, my dear mother, I miss you so much."

Madam touched Wen Lanyue's cheek and said, "Yue'er, mother misses you too."

After that, the two hugged each other tightly. After a few minutes, the lady let go of Wen Lanyue and said, "You were born with white hair. Since your vital signs are all normal, I thought it was similar to 'white hair at a young age' and was congenital. But after the imperial physician's diagnosis and ruling out the possibility of congenital inheritance, it was found that there are some strange elements in your body."

"Everyone's body has the ability to self-clean, but these strange elements cannot be excreted from the body through metabolism. To be precise, it is not that they cannot be excreted, but that they are excreted very slowly."

"So the doctors suspected that these strange elements inhibited the growth of black hair. Your father passed away before you were born to ensure our safety, so until now, they have not found the reason why there are strange elements in your body."

Wen Lanyue cursed the person who drugged her thousands of times in her heart, but she still comforted the original owner's mother and said, "It's okay, mother. As long as it doesn't affect your health, it's fine."

The lady pretended to be relaxed and said, "There are two pieces of news, one good news and one bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"

Wen Lanyue said coquettishly: "Mom, can you only listen to the good news and not the bad news?"

The lady smiled and said, "It's bad news right now, but maybe it will be good news in a few days."

Wen Lanyue said happily: "It seems that bad news is not necessarily bad news, it can still change, but let's hear the good news first."

Madam said: "The good news is that we may have found an antidote. As long as we can eliminate or absorb these elements in your body, your gray hair will improve."

To be honest, Wen Lanyue didn't mind her gray hair very much. She could mix hair dye according to the instructions provided by the "Tianxia Datong" library, but it was a bit troublesome.

Wen Lanyue asked hurriedly: "What about the bad news? Let's see if it can become good news once it is said out loud?"

Madam said sternly, "Yue'er, mother plans to leave here with your master and nanny and go to Jiangnan."

When Wen Lanyue heard this, her nose felt sore and two lines of tears flowed out. Then she immediately wiped her tears with her hands.

I remember that I was not so sentimental in the 21st century, but now I have become sensitive.

In the 21st century, transportation is convenient, and we can leave or get together as we please. But in ancient times, time was slow, and cars, horses, and mail were all slow. It would take at least one or two months to go from here to Jiangnan by horse carriage. In the blink of an eye, we would not see each other for a year.

The lady pretended to be angry and said, "Look, you are already the Queen Mother, why are you still crying like a child? Just think of us three going out to travel."

Madam originally wanted to tell Wen Lanyue the truth. They were going to Jiangnan to find the antidote. Since they heard that the antidote was in Jiangnan, the poison should also be in Jiangnan. They thought they should be able to find some clues there.

But she saw that Wen Lanyue was a little unhappy and reluctant, so she said that the three of them were going to travel.

Wen Lanyue pursed her lips and said, "Are you planning to leave in three months?"

Madam said, "Well, your master still needs to accompany you to deal with some things."

Wen Lanyue accepted all of this in a daze. Before coming back, he released a green flare into the air and left the Taoist temple.
