Tsutsu is located to the south of Kyoto, while Tongshu is to the west of Kyoto, both of which are major transportation routes to Kyoto.

The difference is that Jindu is close to the sea, and there are two large ports that can be used for large cargo ships to dock and unload goods.

The most important one, Tsudo, is the largest navy in Kyoto.

Because it is connected to the Tanggula Sea, Jindu is also a transportation fortress, so it is even rich.

Early in the morning, the sky was bright, and the little uncle Wang Qingchen had already arrived at the Zhou Mansion.

The night before, Ye gritted his teeth and prepared gifts for Zhou Xiaofu, and arranged three carriages and two guards, and many eyes were staring at this stall.

Ye didn't dare to vent her anger on Zhou Xiaofu, so she had to let it go, and when she came back, she had to find a way to pack up the goods, she had figured it out, this Zhou Xiaofu had changed, and she could no longer treat the previous Zhou Xiaofu.

Ye has an advantage that she recognizes reality, analyzes the shape, and will never despise a person because of her previous appearance, and now she already knows that this Zhou Xiaofu has changed since she woke up last time, and she is smart, she will change her strategy, since she is a smart person, she can't coax her like before, and the combat level will be higher.

Zhou Xiaofu brought two maids and cuihua this time, Ziling, and then Lan's mother, this Ziling is a temporary exception.

Because he came to Zhou Xiaofu before going to bed last night, he said that there was a reason why he had to go to Jindu.

Zhou Xiaofu asked, but Ziling said that Zhou Xiaofu would know sooner or later, and she couldn't say it first, so Zhou Xiaofu had to arrange Ziling to accompany her to see what kind of medicine she was selling.

This Ziling, Zhou Xiaofu inquired about Cuihua on the first day she returned home, and only knew that she bought it when she was ten years old, and there was nothing strange about it, because of this, Zhou Xiaofu also agreed.

After getting on the road, Zhou Xiaofu and Lan's mother had a carriage, Cuihua and Ziling were in the carriage of gifts, and the last carriage was vacant.

In the morning, Zhou Xiaofu gave Lan's mother motion sickness medicine to drink, and Lan's mother was much more energetic along the way, so she told some things about the Wang family.

Zhou Xiaofu's surname is Wang, he is a military general, and his maternal grandfather Wang Zhen, who is seven out of fifty this year, is a general in the current dynasty and is in charge of the Tanggula Naval Army.

But Wang Zhen was not born in a family with a background, the original family was a farmer in Jindu, and at the age of 16, he was admitted to the Wuju people, and then participated in the war against the Zakhaha tribe, and won many military achievements, so he also laid this family business.

Marrying his wife Wu is the eldest daughter of Wu Qianxue of the Jindu family, born as a literati, so the names of his children are all Qingzi, and when it comes to grandchildren, Wang Zhen waved his hand and said, don't be so troublesome, how to listen to it, how to come, mainly pay attention to an artistic conception.

Wang Zhen has three sons and two daughters, the eldest son Wang Qingxuan is forty years old this year, and he is also a general of the navy, but his rank is lower, he married his wife Ai, who is the eldest daughter of the assassin of Tongzhou Mansion, and Ai has three sons and one daughter. They are the eldest son Wang Fanbo, who is twenty and two this year, married Ling Xuesheng of the Ling family as his wife, and has a daughter, Wang Peihan.

Wang Zhen's second son, Wang Qingbiao, is thirty-eight years old, a military general, in charge of public security in Jindu, married his wife Lan Xinyu, and Lan has two sons and a daughter. The eldest son, Wang Lingyang, is eighteen years old and has been married. The second son, Wang Yinan, was fifteen years old and was studying. The youngest daughter is eight years old, Wang Yirou.

Wang Zhen's eldest daughter, Queen Qingyang, died.

Queen Wang Zhenci Qingxue is thirty-one years old, married to Ma Tengfei, a giant businessman in Jindu, and her eldest son Ma Haian is fifteen years old and is studying. The second son, Ma Haifeng, is twelve years old, and the second daughter Ma Haishan is nine years old.

Wang Zhen's son is the fifth uncle Wang Qingchen, 27 years old this year, married to his wife Sima Shishuang, and has only one queen Lehe in seven years.

Why is it the fifth uncle and not the third uncle, because the maternal grandmother Wu gave birth to a pair of twins after the second uncle, and as a result, she had a serious illness when she was one year old and couldn't support her, so she could only be the fifth uncle.

After saying this, Lan's mother also felt tired, and she had walked more than half of the way, just noon.

Wang Qingchen arranged for the carriage to enter a tea shed and rest before leaving.

It was a simple tea shed, but it was better than being clean, the coachman guard made a table, Wang Qingchen and Zhou Xiaoyang sat together, and Zhou Xiaofu and other female dependents sat together, occupying three tables.

Lan's mother asked Cuihua to hand over the tea leaves to the husband and wife in the tea shed and brew them for everyone to drink, and Wang Qingchen ordered some steamed beef and hot soup for the big guy.

There was also a table of guests sitting next to him, and the guests at this table were chattering about Tanggula Harbor, Zhou Xiaofu just listened quietly and did not speak, and after a while, the table of guests left after eating.

At this time, Cuihua brought Zhou Xiaofu a bowl of brewed tea and asked, "Fourth Miss, why is this sea called Tanggula Sea, this name is very strange." ”

Zhou Xiaofu smiled and said: "The word Tanggula is a foreign word, which means 'the sea where eagles can't fly'. ”

Zhou Xiaofu read "The Unified System of the Kaiyuan Dynasty" a while ago, which is an introduction to the sea and land of Zhoufu County of various sizes in the Kaiyuan Dynasty, and Zhou Xiaofu practiced combat physical arts, and his memory was much better than that of others, and he could also remember the books he read.

Cuihua and the others are not surprised that Zhou Xiaofu knows this, because she has been used to it recently, and Zhou Xiaofu knows a lot of the questions that Cuihua asks.

But there are also people who are not used to it or are strange.

For example, Wang Qingchen and Zhou Xiaoyang at the next table.

Wang Qingchen was very curious about Zhou Xiaofu knowing the origin of Tanggulahai's meaning, but he didn't expect this niece to give him a lot of surprises.

And Zhou Xiaoyang is strange, his younger sister, he grew up seeing it since he was a child, and he doesn't like to read books the most, and he knows such remote knowledge, which surprises him too much.

But after the surprise, I was happy, my sister was so talented and learned, so it would be easy to find her in-laws in the future.

His mother died early, and he saw that the Ye family would not be kind enough to find a good in-law for Zhou Xiaofu, and he had to worry about this matter by himself, which would have a kind of joy that my family had a girl growing up.

This Zhou Xiaoyang's thoughts, if Zhou Xiaofu knew, his face would be black, and this brother was too gossipy.

After eating and drinking, they rested, and then got into the carriage again.

The carriage traveled for more than an hour, and when it reached the edge of Jindu, Wang Qingchen asked if he wanted to visit Tanggu Customs, which was only half an hour away from Jindu City, and he could also visit and go back.

Zhou Xiaofu was already bored in the carriage, so she was naturally happy, and Zhou Xiaoyang had already entered the carriage halfway, so she would sleep and get up, and she was very happy to see that there was a place to visit.

He often heard the mountain chief say that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read 10,000 books, and he has read the introduction of this Tanggu Customs in the book, but he has not seen it with his own eyes, so he will have the opportunity to be of course very willing.

This Tanggu Customs is the pass of the Tanggula Sea, which was established by the order of Zhu Changde, the second emperor of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, and is mainly responsible for the protection of the Tanggula Sea.

This is a big city wall enclosed, the city wall is engraved with "Tanggu Customs" four majestic characters, according to the book, these four big characters are the emperor Zhu Changde's personal inscription, it can be seen that the emperor attaches great importance to this Tanggu Customs.

The city gate is guarded, and the fifth uncle Wang Qingchen's family are all military generals, and they are very familiar with this place.

On the way to the city wall, I saw that there was a large square facing the square, there were three gates around the square, and the city wall was ten meters high.

Wang Qingchen didn't say anything, he was waiting for this niece to surprise him again.

And Zhou Xiaofu did not disappoint him and said: "Brother, I'm afraid this is the meaning of catching turtles in the urn." ”

Zhou Xiaoyang instantly opened his eyes and said in surprise: "Yes, that's really what it means, sister, do you know the art of war?" ”

Zhou Xiaofu smiled and said, "What, my sister just read some miscellaneous books, how can it be called the art of war." ”

Wang Qingchen narrowed his eyes and smiled with relief. I don't know what he's thinking.

At last he walked to a large fort, and from this position the whole sea was displayed in front of him, and in the middle of the square stood a stone monument engraved with the words "as many as a spoonful", and there was no signature below.

Zhou Xiaoyang didn't see anything after looking at it for a long time, but Cuihua asked anxiously.

Zhou Xiaofu said: "This font and the four words 'Tanggu Customs' on the city wall are from the same person's hand, and this person can say 'as many as a spoonful' in the whole world." “

Seeing that Zhou Xiaoyang didn't understand, and Cuihua and the others were also curious, they continued to explain: "'A spoonful of as much' comes from the "mean" in the four books, the original text: Today's husband and heaven, Si Zhaozhao is many, and it is infinite, the sun, moon and stars are connected, and all things are covered. Today's land, a handful of soil, and its vastness, carry Huayue but not heavy, revitalize the river and sea without leaking, and all things are loaded. Jinfu Mountain, a roll of stones, and its vastness, plants and trees, ** life, treasure flourishing. Today's husband water, a spoonful of much, and its accidents, shark dragons, fish and turtles, goods and wealth. ”

After a pause, he continued: "The moral is that the sky today is made up of many bright objects, and it has become an endless sky, with the sun, moon, and galaxies in motion. It covers everything. Now the earth is made up of a handful of soil. But it's vast and deep. It carries three mountains and five mountains without feeling heavy, vibrating rivers and seas without leaking, and everything on the earth is carried by it. And again, the mountain is made of many fist-sized stones. But it is tall and majestic, with grass, trees, forests. The Flying Beasts dwell above, and there is a wealth of treasure buried underneath. Besides, this water is made up of spoonfuls of water. But it is unfathomable. All kinds of shark dragons, fish and turtles live in it, and all things reproduce. ”

"Fourth Miss, but why are these four words written here?" Cuihua didn't know why, but she didn't understand after listening to Zhou Xiaofu for a long time.

Zhou Xiaofu smiled and said: "This word is an inscription of the second generation of emperors, and the meaning is that in this world, no matter how wide this sea area is, it is only as much as a spoonful of water in his heart, which is a metaphor for his broad mind and can put down the sea." ”

Cuihua scratched her head and said no more.

And Zhou Xiaoyang was shocked, this sister gave him too many surprises, he knew where this spoonful came from, and he only read half of it, but it was impossible for him to remember every sentence.

He didn't know the deeper meaning of it, because the mountain chief didn't explain it, and his sister, a woman in the boudoir, knew more than him, a man who was about to take the entrance examination, and he was really ashamed.

Since then, Zhou Xiaoyang has let go of his contempt and has been more attentive to his studies, and he has always felt that he is the best in the school.

Wang Qingchen's attitude towards this niece has become strange since this time, he doesn't treat her like a child when he talks and acts, he actually discusses it, he feels that this niece is very different and can't be treated as normal.

Then everyone got into their carriages, and arrived at the king's house in less than an hour.
