Chapter 461: Bai Ding Xiaoniang
Chapter 461: Bai Ding Xiaoniang
It's really hard to wait! This is Li Huaitang's emotion. The emotion comes from practice, revealing a trace of helplessness and pain.
Wielding a war knife on the battlefield, Li Huaitang was handy and free, and grabbed the 'hair' pen in front of the desk, Li Huaitang immediately lost his composure, and fell into the embarrassing situation of a mouse pulling a turtle, feeling powerful and nowhere to go.
Practicing calligraphy is lonely, fortunately, with Pei Xiaoniang's warm accompaniment, the process is not boring.
Pei Xiaoniang, as a famous teacher, stood in front of Li Huaitang, clinging to her arms, Xiao Rouyi grabbed Li Huaitang's hand to grab the pen, and taught one stroke at a time.
"Oops! To be honest, no matter how light the concubine is, the concubine will ignore you. Pei Xiaoniang patted a "devil's claw" on her thin waist, coquettishly, completely unthinking of the consequences of the twisting waist rubbing against her back.
"Well, don't go, be honest, be honest." Li Huaitang just hugged the delicate little beauty.
Pei Xiaoniang felt the abnormality behind her, and her body trembled slightly.
"Li Lang," Pei Xiaoniang's delicate body is like water, and there is a tendency to melt into her arms. The madness of two consecutive nights made her full of rain and dew, and there is still a 'spring' and 'tide' between her eyebrows. Teaching and practicing calligraphy for the teacher was also a sweet love story in the hibiscus tent last night, but Pei Xiaoniang was more serious, regardless of the two 'legs' after the continuous love, and pulled Li Huaitang to meet the four treasures of the study.
Li Huaitang understood the little beauty's thoughts, and practicing calligraphy was just an excuse, mainly to keep him by his side. Carefully calculated, in the days after marriage, there was less gathering and more separation, and most of the time was spent fighting outside, thinking of this, Li Huaitang couldn't help but feel guilty, and the pity in his heart was a little more because of this.
The "exciting" love began with a hot "kiss", and then the territory of the four treasures of the study and a desk were occupied by Pei Xiaoniang, and the paper, ink, pen and inkstone fell to the ground, and the scattered "chaos" was scattered.
"No, Li Lang, don't be here," After being hugged to the desk, Pei Xiaoniang had a slight sense of resistance, but she was vague.
At this moment, the 'door' of the study was pushed open at an inopportune time.
"Madame, there is a letter!" The intruder was Xiao Pian, who didn't raise her head, and rushed in vigorously, and when she realized that the situation was not right, it was too late to quit.
"Madam, you, you are here, what are you doing in .......?"
The question is naΓ―ve, silly, and ignorant. The questioner, Pei Xiaoniang, blushed with shame, and hid behind Li Huaitang very ostrichically, muttering miserably on his lips, and the 'jade' finger cooperated and pinched his thick back.
Speaking of thick-skinned, Li Huaitang is not out, who will compete? Especially in front of the beautiful little lady, Li Huaitang's immune function is unprecedentedly strong.
"What letter? Bring it to me. β
Uninvited, please Xiaolian hesitated, her footsteps seemed to be glued to the ground, she didn't move, she was even more embarrassed than Pei Xiaoniang, her pink face was crimson, and the 'color' of shyness even spread to her fair neck.
Either deliberately embarrassed, or deliberately appreciating the little beauty's style at this time, Li Huaitang didn't step forward, just looked at her with a smile, his eyes were hot and unrestrained, and he saw that Xiao Pian lost his square inch, and his eyes were panicked and avoided.
"If you don't want to give it to me, then read it."
"Oh," replied the little mercy conditionally, unfolding the folded letter raft in his hand.
A strange thing happened, and he kicked his eyes at the black and white letters, and opened his mouth silently.
"Read! Is there a problem? Li Huaitang gradually became curious, and his gaze shifted from the beauty's delicate face to the letter raft.
"Oh," Xiao Lian actually sweated on her forehead, and opened her mouth to 'desire' thoughts, but she was dumb and angry.
"Huh?" Li Huaitang smiled and looked forward to it.
Xiao Lian suddenly put down her hand, tilted her head and said in surprise: "I don't know how to read." β
"Can't read?" Li Huaitang's voice has improved a lot. In fact, there is nothing surprising about it, he forgot that this is the Tang Dynasty, and the literacy rate in this era is not generally low, and the 'female' and 'sexual' are even lower.
"I, I," Xiao Lian bit her red 'lip', speechless, her expression seemed embarrassed.
Li Huaitang hurriedly said: "It's not a big deal, it's just right, I'll teach you, the custodian meeting." Come, come here, this is learning words, you have to start from practicing the pen......" At this point, there was a pain in the waist immediately.
"Ouch!"
Then a sour and vinegar smell emanated behind Li Huaitang, and he only heard a very vigilant voice: "Li Lang has not yet left the school, so let's let the concubine come to teach and practice calligraphy." β
When it comes to issues of principle, Pei Xiaoniang forgot about her shyness and said goodbye to the ostrich and 'stood up'.
Li Huaitang sneered and said, "Okay, Madame has the final say." Well, this letter to me. As he spoke, he stepped forward and took the paper from Xiao Lian's hand.
After reading the content, Li Huaitang smiled dumbly.
"What is Li Lang smiling?" Pei Xiaoniang became curious.
Li Huaitang handed her the paper casually and said, "It's a petition." β
The author of the petition is a group of displaced people from the Tang Dynasty, and the content is about the story of a hundred horsemen called Zhang Qiu yesterday who did not save the lives of Cao Kan people when he saw death, and even tortured and killed the captives, and finally prayed to Princess Broken Leaf to punish this person heavily to comfort the new Tang people. Between the lines, Tang Min regarded Pei Xiaoniang as the backbone and had high hopes for her.
"Li Lang," Pei Xiaoniang looked at Li Huaitang in embarrassment, the matter of the hostages was inexplicable, this matter was far beyond her ability to deal with, and it was also beyond her authority, as virtuous as her, she never thought of blowing the wind on the pillow.
Li Huaitang said: "There is no urgency in this matter, let's investigate it clearly first." Zhang Qiu, I know, my father and brother died in the city of Qishi, and it is true that I hate the Tuqi Shiren, but I think it is not enough to kill innocents indiscriminately. β
Pei Xiaoniang nodded and said, "The concubine listens to Li Lang." β
"Well, that's what the husband sings 'woman', right?" Li Huaitang laughed.
"Who sings 'woman' with it?" A beautiful figure appeared outside the 'door', it was Ye Ji, followed by Linglong Shuangshu. The three of them all have a common characteristic, the 'color' of resentment is clearly covered with pretty faces, giving Li Huaitang the feeling that the creditor has come to the 'door', indeed, he owes them something, and he has not been to their room for the night after coming back for so many days.
Ye Ji came to inform Master Lu, and Gong Wulang was in the living room in the front yard.
"Maps?" Li Huaitang couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly asked people to invite him to the study.
"You don't need to avoid it, stay and watch Master Lu's masterpiece together!" Li Huaitang left behind the beauties who 'wanted' to retire.
Gong Wulang's appearance, the most embarrassing thing is Xiao Pian, his eyes are always on Li Huaitang and this bad old man, and Li Huaitang is inexplicable.
What Master Lu brought was a road map, which was the planning of the future main road in the Ningyuan territory, and it took Gong Wulang dozens of days of hard work to conduct field investigations and refer to the march map of Ningyuan Iron Cavalry. The main road goes east-west from Zhezhicheng in the west, passes through Xijian City, Ningyuan City, crosses the Alai Mountain Pass to the south to Huangshi, and then turns east to reach the border of the Tang Dynasty, Gelu Pass, and then to Shule, continues to the east to Bahuan City, stretches for more than 2,000 miles, and the project is magnificent.
"Look, this is Bahuan City!" Linglong Shuangshu pointed to the sign on the map in surprise, happy like a voyager who had discovered a new world.
"Hehe, yes." Master Lu said proudly, "After the road is completed, it only takes five days for Mrs. to return to her parents' house. β
"So fast?!" Linglong Shuangshu was dumbfounded.
Li Huaitang said with a smile: "Master Lu is talking about light cars and fast horses. But it's definitely much faster than it is now, it's all stone roads, high-speed galloping! There is no other branch in the world, only this one. β
"Tsk, Li Lang is going to make a lot of money again." Pei Xiaoniang pursed her lips and smiled.
"Why?" Long'er was puzzled, "Does Li Lang want to buy the road money?" β
The question sparked a burst of laughter.
"Silly sister, on the day of the construction of this road, when Ningyuan City's specialty goods sell several times more, can Li Lang not get rich?" Ling'er's understanding 'sex' is obviously stronger than her sister's.
"Anyway, it's much more convenient for us to go back to our parents' house to see our father." Shang Long blushed and interrupted.
"Rest assured, the merchants of Bahuan City will soon move their families here, and at that time, it will be as easy for you to visit your relatives as it is to go to your neighbor's house." Li Huaitang smiled slightly.
Of course, Linglong Shuangshu was happy, and almost danced, married a good husband, and could see her parents at any time, everything was better than ever imagined.
Some people rejoice, some people are sad. The performance of Linglong Shuangshu aroused Pei Xiaoniang's homesickness.
"Don't worry, one day, the husband will extend the avenue to Chang'an, where there is a big market!" Li Huaitang felt something, and spoke out in time to comfort the sullen Pei Xiaoniang.
"Really?" Pei Xiaoniang turned her worries into joy, pulling Li Huaitang's arm and shaking, if it weren't for outsiders, she couldn't help but send incense 'kisses'. If these words came from the mouth of others, even if it was the will of Emperor Tang, Pei Xiaoniang would be suspicious, but her husband assured that she believed unconditionally, this was her pride!
It is not easy to build bridges and roads since ancient times, and the people's and financial resources consumed are a heavy burden for those in power, and road construction has always been perfunctory.
Therefore, it is a dream and a miracle that the road leads directly to Chang'an! Once completed, the revival and prosperity of the Silk Road will be unprecedented.
Li Huaitang is most concerned about when the project will be completed, the production capacity of Ningyuan City cannot afford to wait, and tens of thousands of slaves are engaged in infrastructure construction that has no benefits in the short term, and the pressure on rations is not small.
Lu Dajiang's answer will be two years at the earliest, and the whole process will be completed within two years, of course, the premise is that the communication with Datang is smooth, and a section in Datang depends on the attitude of the Anxi Protectorate, and the rest is not difficult, basically the exploration work has been completed by Shang Bafang.
There is no way to shorten the time, the Western Regions is located in a cold winter and the winter is relatively long, so it is impossible to start construction during this season, and only some preparations can be made. From spring to late autumn, the excavation of the roadbed and the work of tamping the foundation will be completed, and the gravel and triple soil will be paved in the following year.
Li Huaitang believes that as long as he personally goes to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate to discuss with Laiyao, this will benefit the country and the people, and there will be no need for Datang to spend money on the project, and he has absolutely no reason to refuse.
