Chapter 621: Test Flight

"Uh-huh?" In his sleep, he felt a cold piece on his head, extremely comfortable, and shook it gently, Liu Yiyi opened his eyes on the couch, the corners of his eyes were a little astringent, and his mouth was also bitter for a while, which was very uncomfortable.

"Husband, are you awake?" Seeing that Liu Yiyi opened his eyes, Zhang Chuchu hurriedly waved his hand and told Xiao Yi to bring some soup over, and at the same time, his other hand was not idle, he gently took off the wet towel on Liu Yiyi's forehead, and changed it to a piece to carefully wipe his husband's cheeks, and asked softly with some concern and a little reproach in his mouth: "Why did you drink so much?" ”

"Oh, it's the lady who is back," settled down, Zhang Chuchu's cute little face was completely revealed in Liu Yiyi's eyes, and he heard that his daughter-in-law had a lot of dislike in his words, grinning, Liu Yiyi said loudly: "Today, the dustless housekeeper is visiting, and I was happy for a while, so I drank more,"

"The lady may not know, the dustless housekeeper is here, but it has brought us great news," holding his arms, Liu Yi sat up leaningly, leaning on the wooden fence next to the couch, finding a comfortable position to lean, looking at Chu Chuyan with a smile and said: "Cai'er, that girl, I'm happy!" Our Liu family's incense is going to have one more. ”

"Really?" When Zhang Chuchu heard this, his face was also full of joy, and he nodded his head and said: "That's right, counting the days, it's been half a year, and they've been married for so long, and they should have two of them." This time, the people of our Liu family prospered when they saw it, and if their father-in-law and mother-in-law knew, they would definitely be very happy in their hearts. ”

"That's nature," taking the herbal tea handed by his daughter-in-law, Liu Yiyi nodded and said: "The person who delivered the letter has already left Chang'an in the morning, and in a few days, Dad and Mother will also be able to get good news." ”

"Master, sobering soup!" While the two were talking, Xiao Yi came into the house with a bowl of decanting soup from the stove room, and when their wife took the soup bowl, they went out of the bedroom in a regular manner.

"If you drink the decanting soup, your stomach won't be so uncomfortable anymore," he sat on the side of the couch, Zhang Chuchu served the soup bowl and carefully fed his husband.

"It's not that you can't move, where can you use the lady to feed?" With a warm heart, Liu Yiyi reached out and took the soup bowl in his daughter-in-law's hand, and said in a loud voice. After that, Yang Neck drank the already warm soup in the bowl.

"There are two guests from outside the hall," took the empty bowl handed by the husband, put it lightly on the table next to the side, Zhang Chuchu said: "It is said that the surname is the eldest grandson, and I made an appointment with the husband before to come to the meeting, and I have already arrived at home at the beginning of the unitary time, and I have been waiting in the hall to see the posture of the eldest grandson, it seems that there is a lot of origin, since it was agreed in advance, if the husband feels better, I will go over to see it." ”

"The eldest grandson?" Liu Yiyi frowned lightly, could it be that the eldest grandson has arrived? Rubbing his forehead, which was still a little painful, Liu Yiyi turned over and got out of bed, put on his clothes properly under Zhang Chuchu's waiting, and then greeted his daughter-in-law, and then set off and went to the front hall.

"Eldest grandson, I've been waiting for a long time," opened the door curtain, Liu Yiyi walked into the hall from the inside, and as soon as he entered the door, he chuckled and politely apologized to the eldest grandson: "It's rude to let the eldest grandson wait for a long time, the eldest grandson forgives the sins!" ”

Feeling the comfortable coldness in the living room, Liu Yiyi looked slightly stunned, and then noticed that on the table in this hall, between the chairs, several pots of ice cubes were on the side, especially on the table on the table, there were several bunches of grapes on the shelf, when Liu Yi came in, the eldest grandson was leisurely eating the grapes in the pot.

Such exaggerated actions, such an atmospheric pomp, this eldest grandson young master is a master who will not let himself be wronged. Thinking of the stuffy situation in the hall at noon, Liu Yiyi sighed in his heart, also for the sake of embarrassment, Fang Yiai was more than a step worse than the eldest grandson young master in front of him.

It's no wonder that Fang Cai Chuchu would say that this eldest grandson has some backgrounds, it turns out that it is all these solid ice who are doing trouble.

"Sir!" Seeing that their master came in, Xiao Yi, who was being touched by the eldest grandson and coaxed to feed the grapes, turned red, and tightly withdrew the little hand that was still in the hand of the eldest grandson, and bent over to salute Liuyi.

"Mr. Yifan!" After a long time, the eldest grandson's complexion remained unchanged, he stood up lightly, bowed his hand to Liu Yiyi, and said with a smile not politely at all: "Mr. doesn't need to be polite to the younger brother, just call the younger brother by his name, or call him a virtuous brother." ”

"In this way, you are not welcome to be a brother," beating the snake and walking with the stick, seeing that the eldest grandson was like this, Liu Yiyi was no longer polite, and returned the salute, and after inviting the eldest grandson to sit down, he said in a loud voice: "I don't know if the virtuous brother is here, what are you doing?" ”

It's like the love of the house in the morning, if there is nothing to do, these sons and brothers will never be wronged to wait here for such an hour.

"Grapes!" Without answering Liu Yiyi's question, the eldest grandson leaned back on the back of the chair, stretched out his hand to gesture, and asked Liu Yiyi to taste the grapes in the ice, he himself skillfully reached out, took out a grain from the ice, threw it into his mouth, squinted his eyes, and whispered to Liu Yiyi while chewing: "These grapes are specially consigned back from the Western Regions by the younger brother, from picking, to transportation, and then to Chang'an, all the way are kept fresh by solid ice, and the taste is the same as when they were first picked." ”

"The eldest grandson and brother have good taste, and I admire my brother!" After scolding the loser in his heart, Liu Yiyi also reached out and took out a grain, I have to say that although the cost of this grape is indeed higher, but its taste, a collection of fresh, sweet, sour, cool in one, it is indeed very refreshing to eat, it can be regarded as a rare delicacy.

Involuntarily, as if addicted to eating, Liu Yichi reached out and took another grain from the ice.

"The old man of our family said," he opened his mouth and spit out the seeds in the palm of his hand, and put them lightly on the plate on the table, and the eldest grandson said in a loud voice: "Brother Yifan is talented, not a mediocre person, and his future is bright, he can soar and soar, and he may not be able to rise to the top, and he wants the younger brother to be close to Brother Yifan." ”

It's very straightforward, so straightforward that it is a little difficult for Liu Yiyi to even say a polite and modest word.

"The old man in our family, who has been an official for a long time, has been grinding his brain a little stiff, and his speech is too utilitarian," shook his head disappreciatively, and after eating another grape, the eldest grandson continued: "Whether two people can get close and can become brothers depends on fate, and the right thing is temperament, not just a casual word, and you can do it by casually coming forward." ”

"However, he asked the younger brother to look for Brother Yifan, but it was good," his face changed, and the eldest grandson's white, tender and fat little face showed a little smile, looking at Liu Yiyi, like a fortune teller, and said: "I have a fate with Brother Yifan, in the palace in the morning, when I saw Brother Yifan for the first time, the younger brother felt that we would become brothers, life and death depend on each other, and the liver and gallbladder coexist." ”

OR ...... Perhaps," Liu Yiyi's body shook, from head to toe, with a pimple all over his body, and used the words commonly used when picking up girls to a man's body, this eldest grandson and young master is also a master who can fool. Liu Yiyi was silent, sat aside, sipping chilled grapes, waiting for the next performance of the eldest grandson, he also wanted to see what kind of tricks this eldest grandson young master could play.

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, called His Royal Highness Junchen, to be honest, in private, he still has to call his younger brother a cousin," the eldest grandson patted his chest very generously, and said to Liu Yiyi: "In the future, in the Jin Palace, with the younger brother on the side, Brother Yifan will not suffer a loss." ”

"Then, in the future, I will rely on my brother to be virtuous." Although he was a little puzzled about what he would lose, Liu Yiyi still agreed very cooperatively.

"Hehe, Brother Yifan doesn't have to be polite to the younger brother, it's just a little thing, it's just a gesture," the eldest grandson held a grape in his hand, waved his hand disappretently and whispered to Liu Yiyi.

"Yesterday afternoon," put the grapes into his mouth, the eldest grandson straightened up, turned his head to look at Liu Yiyi, and said: "In the 'Xinfang Pavilion' in the south of the city, the younger brother and Fang Yi love that kid, because of a clear child, he once made a promise to play the next competition, and the music rhythm is used to determine the winner or loser. ”

came, Liu Yiyi suddenly spit out the seeds in his mouth, sat up straight, and after going around for a long time, the main topic finally arrived.

"I knew that Brother Yifan was proficient in music, so the younger brother thought of asking Brother Yifan to come out and help one or two." Arching his hand at Liu Yiyi, the eldest grandson said in a loud voice: "As long as the second boy who can win the Fang family, he will have a bad breath for the younger brother and win the favor of the beauty, and the younger brother will be grateful afterwards." ”

"Miss, I inquired," inside the boudoir, the little girl Qingzhu came in from the outside with a scream, her little mouth didn't stop for a moment, and she said in a crisp voice: "I don't know if I don't ask, it turns out that the eldest grandson is so famous in this Chang'an City, and there don't seem to be many people who don't know him." ”

"Oh? And such a thing? Qingzhu is coming soon. "I have a good impression of the eldest grandson, white and pure, gentle and elegant, when he speaks, he is also very funny, and when he hears Qingzhu's shouting, Fang Yue'er can't help but feel a trace of curiosity in his heart.

"He has a nickname, 'Eldest Sun Merry', two years ago, a famous little pervert in Chang'an City," Qingzhu said softly, and told them all the rumors she heard from the outside: "Since the beginning of the joy at the age of twelve, until two years ago, this eldest grandson has stayed in the famous flower house in Chang'an City every night, and there are countless good looks, and even more so two years ago, in ' In the Tibetan Xianglou', he and Fang Yiai, together with Fang Yiai, fought in order to compete for the first night of an Oiran, broke the two arms of the second young master of the Fang family, and finally made a fuss so that even the emperor knew about it, and his hometown of Qi Guogong was angry, and he was sent to serve in Sichuan and Shu in one fell swoop, and he was not summoned back until the day before yesterday. ”

"Really? Are all of this true? Fang Yue'er's face was puzzled, yesterday when she looked at the eldest grandson, she was clear-eyed, calm and relaxed, not like that kind of lewd person, these news that Qingzhu heard couldn't be miscommunicated by others, right?

"Everyone else is saying this, and the Eldest Sun Mansion has never come forward to clarify, so it can't be fake, right?" Stunned by their young lady's question, Qingzhu replied loudly, and at the same time got up to carry the pot and pour tea for their young lady.

Picking up the tea bowl and taking a sip of tea, Fang Yue'er shook her head lightly, what do you want to do so much? If the news is fake or not, what does it have to do with yourself? That eldest grandson will only be a passerby.

"And that Fang Yiai," Qingzhu said to their young lady with some gossip: "It's the second son of Fang Shangshu's family, he just got married to Gao Yang Gongzi a few years ago, and this quilt hasn't warmed up yet, but now he started to look for flowers and ask willows in this flower room, and that eldest grandson is the same, it's not a good thing, he deserves to be cut off two arms by eldest grandson two years ago." ”

"Qingzhu, be cautious!" Glancing at the little girl in disgust, Fang Yue'er said softly: "Don't talk about other people's rights and wrongs behind your back, if you let outsiders hear it, it will inevitably be a lot of trouble." ”

"Yes, Miss!" Xiao stuck out his tongue, Qingzhu obediently closed his mouth, glanced around at the outside of the pavilion, and then said to their young lady: "I knew that they were all such goods, and Miss Li shouldn't have come forward to dissuade them yesterday and let them eat dogs." ”

The little girl was a little cynical, which made Fang Yue'er helpless for a while.

"It's pointless to let them fight," raised his hand and patted Qingzhu's little head, Fang Yue'er said, "But what about after the fight?" No matter who suffers and who takes advantage, have you ever thought about how you let your godmother deal with it if something really happens? Can our 'Xinfang Pavilion' continue to open in this Chang'an City? ”

Although Fang Yue'er, like Qingzhu, is very disgusted with this kind of fireworks place, but, in addition to the godmother's kindness to herself, this 'Xinfang Pavilion' can be regarded as half of their family after all, if it is not necessary, no one will want to see the 'Xinfang Pavilion' fall.

Qingzhu was speechless, she was a maid, she also knew that if there was no 'Xinfang Pavilion', their future days would be more miserable than now, at least, now they don't have to starve and freeze, and they can still eat a full meal.

"Tomorrow is a two-day period, and I don't know who will win between the two of them?" Leaning in front of the attic window, Fang Yue'er looked at Hua Zao, who was a little white from the sun downstairs outside the window, and said softly: "With the family situation of the two of them, it shouldn't be difficult to find Mr. Yifan, right?" ”

In the bottom of my heart, being able to play Mr. Yifan's new lyrics and music again is what Fang Yue'er wants.

On the north side of Chang'an City, on an empty mountain area of nearly 100 acres, more than a dozen officials of the Ministry of Industry are tinkering with a huge hot air balloon, balloon, basket bottom, stove, rope, and inspection one by one.

"How's it going, are you all ready?" Tao Yande, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, watched as the officials under his command set fire to fill the airbags of the hot air balloon, and the ropes on the ground and fixed on the bottom basket were also tightened.

"Lord Hui Shangshu," Liu Yi, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, bowed down and saluted Tao Yande, and said, "The test has been completed, as long as Lord Shangshu orders, the hot air balloon can be lifted off at any time." ”

"Well," nodded lightly, looked up at the sky, the sun was setting, it was almost evening, it was calm, Tao Yande raised his hand and instructed Liu Yi, and said: "Lord Liu, you go, put those ducks at the bottom of the basket, after half a pillar of incense, cut the rope on the ground, and release the hot air balloon into the air." ”

"Yes, Lord Shangshu!" After bending over to answer, Liu Yi walked towards the live ducks with some excitement, today, it is the first time to let live creatures rise into the air, if these ducks can be safe and sound afterwards, it means that it is not difficult to bring living people to the sky.

After half a pillar of incense, the sun is approaching dusk, in a noisy croaking sound, made by the Ministry of Industry of the Tang Dynasty, the first hot air balloon in history to carry living creatures, in a vacant land of the Ministry of Industry, under the eager gaze of Tao Yande and an official of the Ministry of Industry, slowly rose into the sky.

"Quick, ride a fast horse to catch up," Seeing that the hot air balloon in the sky was slowly moving westward with the wind, Tao Yande commanded to the soldiers on the side: "Half an hour later, the old man must know whether the ducks at the bottom of the basket are still alive!" ”

"Yes, sir!" The cavalry responded in unison, and then rode their horses to stop the boiling, and followed all the way to the west, Tao Yande also asked for a fast horse from his subordinates, walked behind the cavalry, and moved forward steadily.

There are not many spare charcoal mines in the furnace, only enough for half an hour, plus it is a quiet wind today, the wind is not strong, the hot air balloon is not too far away from the original place, it is less than ten miles before and after, Lao Tao is an official of the Ministry of Labor, riding a fast horse, and easily chased after it.

"Alive, they're alive!!"

Half an hour later, the first soldier who approached the rattan basket, lifted the basket and still kept noisy ducks, and excitedly reported loudly to the people who came after him, that none of the five live ducks had died.

"Quick, show the old man!" Old man Tao's face was red, a little beyond the physiological limit of a person of his age, he jumped off the fast horse with a long leg, trotted all the way, and rushed to the five ducks, the noise of the five ducks, now in his ears, like fairy music.
