Princess Taiping also has a house in Luoyang City, which is located in the southeast of the city.

The Yishui River Canal flows through the Crawler Fang, this mansion, located in the northwest of Lifang, one-fifth of the area of the mansion is the water body, in addition to the canal water, also dug a large and a small two pools, connected with the canal water, the large pool is about 1,000 square meters, the water surface is vast, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, the weeping willows and flowers by the pool, docked with a painting boat, and swans, wild ducks, mandarin ducks and other water birds swim leisurely.

The east side of the pond is a large granary, the north side is the library pavilion, and the west side is a piano pavilion, so to speak, this large pond is a natural barrier to the mansion, dividing the mansion into several functional areas.

The buildings of the Tang Dynasty were solemn and generous, strict and cheerful, and magnificent. The color of the house is simple, the roof is flat, the doors and windows are simple, and I feel heroic in the middle of it.

There is also a small pond, planted with red lotus, half a pond of lotus leaves to cover and block, layer upon layer, red lotus dotted among them, beautiful.

There are bamboos everywhere and flowers everywhere in the house.

Shen Mengxi walked in the mansion, only feeling one step at a time, and his heart was relaxed.

I really like it here.

She decided to move to a new house immediately.

In this way, for half a year, Shen Mengxi took the children to live in the crawler workshop and recuperate with peace of mind.

In the early morning, she plays Tai Chi under the ginkgo tree, takes her children to read, write, and play games during the day, eats with the children at night, and meditates in bed before going to bed.

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun are both Xianbei people, Li Zhi is undoubtedly also a Xianbei person, and Empress Wu is a pure Han person.

Taiping is a half-Xianbei mixed-race child, she is warm and cheerful by nature, likes to eat meat, and has an excellent physique.

Got married at the age of sixteen, gave birth to a child at the age of seventeen, and gave birth to four in one breath in seven years, and her figure has not changed much. Even if he suffered great changes and suffered some hardships when he gave birth to the fourth child, he has recovered after raising it for half a year.

After half a year of getting along, the four children have gradually become attached to her, and they are no longer just timidly respectful from afar.

Yin'er is already six years old, and it is during the mourning period, Shen Mengxi plans to open another door on the side of the street in the north of Fangbei, establish a family school, and invite well-educated people to teach.

Yin'er was very happy, he was dressed plainly, kneeling on the side of A-Niang, and secretly glanced at her from time to time.

In his memory, his parents are inseparable every day, very affectionate, and his father often asks him about his daily life, etiquette, and knowledge, but his mother only throws a few of their brothers and sisters to the nurse, and rarely asks, and his mother only has his father alone in her heart.

Now that his father has passed away, and his mother has experienced the malaise of the first month, she has shifted her energy to the four of them, not only caring about his studies, but also asking him about his food, clothing, housing and transportation, chatting with them, playing games, and singing and telling stories to them.

He watched with envy as his second brother lay on his mother's lap, teasing his little sister.

Shen Mengxi put Lu'er in Yu'er's arms, called Yin'er, and said that he wanted to learn men's etiquette from him.

"Yin'er, how should a man salute when he meets different people? How do you say hello? ”

Yin'er was a little stunned, and she didn't understand what her mother was asking these for, was it to test his etiquette?

He stood up, rubbed his calves, stomped his feet, and moved for a while. He demonstrated all the etiquette he knew, paused his head, bowed, and bowed...... Mother actually followed her through the drills.

Jian'er was also interested, and she stumbled behind her, learning from each other.

"Mother, the bow should be done with the left hand outside, and the right hand outside is used only when there is a murderous thing!" Yin'er changed Shen Mengxi's hands that were arched together. Shen Mengxi was obedient.

Yin'er turned around and walked to the door, turned around, dressed neatly, looked at Shen Mengxi, and suddenly stepped forward, opened his big arms, threw up his sleeves, like a little eagle with wings spread, I saw him raise his hands above his head, and made a long gesture to her from top to bottom, and sang loudly in his mouth: "I wish Her Royal Highness the princess a long life and good health!" ”

The little boy, already has the posture of Zhilan Yushu, Shen Mengxi looked at the eldest son with satisfaction, this child as the eldest son, Xue Shao attaches great importance to his training, and begins to teach the use of chopsticks with the right hand when he eats, and teaches the rhythm of speaking when he can speak, and then learns the etiquette of advance and retreat, and now he is six years old, he already knows how to recognize the direction, recognize the time and simple arithmetic, and is far more sensible than the preschool children of later generations.

Shen Mengxi patted Yin'er's shoulder approvingly and said, "Good boy! ”

Yin'er's face turned red with excitement, and her eyes lit up.

At this time, people do not praise their children easily, lest they become slack and complacent.

Shen Mengxi felt that it was necessary to affirm it properly. In particular, the affirmation of parents is especially important for children to build self-confidence.

"Yin'er, your father is gone, but fortunately, A-Niang still has you. Jian'er is three years old, so I'll leave his teachings to you in the future. Shen Mengxi said solemnly.

"Auntie rest assured! Yin'er must teach her brother well! Xue Chongyin looked serious and took over this big task, Xue Chongjian looked at his brother in a daze, looking like he didn't know what was going on at all.

******

She didn't sort out the items in the Wuling space again, because she was ready to be reborn again early, the space was well organized, and everything was ready.

Although she keeps saying that she has lived enough, and complains that she always passively experiences other people's lives, in private, she is happy.

If you are alive, you can perceive the sunshine and rain, the joys, sorrows, and sorrows, the birth, old age, sickness and death, and you can also prove that there is a me in this world, and that is worth rejoicing.

As the years passed, Shen Mengxi's views on life and death became more and more complicated, she sometimes felt that it didn't matter, anyway, after living for so long, maybe she would be reborn again, but at the same time, she was also more afraid that there would be no next life, and when she thought that in this world, there was no herself, and she didn't know what happened in this world, she felt indignant and afraid. The older you get, the more you gain and lose.

She quietly went to the Wuling space to store a large number of food, water, clothes, various household appliances, all kinds of machinery, even generators, maintenance equipment, etc., as well as various weapons purchased by stitches, plus the original items in the space, which can completely cope with any environment.

If you can be reborn, you can be considered prepared, if you can't...... That must be the soul extinguished, and all things will be over.

- As a result, she arrived in the Tang Dynasty.

Although most of the things can't be shown, I have confidence in my heart.

Although the past should not be entangled too much, it should not be completely forgotten, and what should be summarized and retained should be sorted out. From attachment to casualness, from sentimentality to rationality and objectivity. There is another point that she doesn't dare to touch, that is, is she still Shen Mengxi? After several fusions, she can't resist the characteristics of the body itself, such as Meng Fanxi's sensitive impulses, such as Zhang Jiayu's steady patience, such as this peaceful self-centeredness, joy and dislike of quietness, and irritable temper, all of which have made her change a lot, and she knows very well in her heart that with the change of the environment, people will always change, not to mention that even the body has changed.

Taiping was energetic, it seemed that the blood flow was faster, and after sitting for a while, he was hot all over, scratching his heart and liver, helpless, Shen Mengxi had to get up and walk, or punch and shoot arrows.

One thing, unfortunately, no matter how young her body becomes, she can no longer experience the real taste of youth, the vigor, fearlessness, longing, and expectation of young people, all these first son's hearts and thoughts, will never appear in her old heart again.

She has long since become only demanding of herself, and does not expect anything from others.

As for marriage, she doesn't plan for it. She didn't believe that in such an age, she could find someone who could live this life with.

Since ancient times, there has never been a law and law that says that there must be love in order to get married, the marriage system is just for the development of society, for the stability of the social structure and exists, at this time, marriage is better for two surnames, more is the integration of resources, to put it bluntly, power and money is the core essence of today's marriage.

She has no heart to engage in politics and business, and she doesn't need to rely on others to live, so there is no need to get married at all.

Even in the later life, it is not easy for a woman to marry the person she likes.

In the Tang Dynasty, it was even more of a luxury. As a princess, it's even more impossible.

The widow's status is not bad, so let's live this life alone.

The princess of the Tang Dynasty is the most arbitrary and free in all dynasties, and the queen of heaven is in the dynasty, and she is even more feminine, open-minded, and does not abide by the etiquette of giving and receiving chastity between men and women.

The princess is regarded as a genuine product, and is equipped with subordinate officials such as Yi Ling, Yi Cheng, and Record, and is in charge of the entry and exit of wealth and goods, and the collection of pastoral seals.

The princess has the final say in everything in the princess's mansion, and the concubine is the princess's attachment, and being a concubine is equivalent to giving up her future, and you can only bow down to be a princess's horse. Taiping and Xue Shao have a good relationship, at least in Shen Mengxi's memory, they are Qin Se and Ming, Xue Shao is humble and polite everywhere, gentle and polite, and his private life is even more abnormal.

This also saved Shen Mengxi a lot of things, she wanted to come to the palace to check the roster, it turned out that the princess's mansion had thousands of domestic servants and subordinate officials, and there were three hundred guards and private soldiers, half of whom were raised in Qingyun Villa, farming and training, and half were on duty in the princess's mansion, with two shifts.

Taiping has two houses in Luoyang City and Chang'an City, 1,200 restaurants, and countless farms and shops.

Shen Mengxi, who didn't worry about eating and drinking, and didn't want to get involved in politics, waved his hand, took the four children, and drove Jane from the suburbs of Luoyang to Zhuangzi to escape the summer.

The mountain villa is called Qingyun Mountain Villa, it is thirty miles away from Luoyang City, it is named after Qingyun Mountain, there is a small hill in the village, there are several hot springs, a polo field, and there are good fields and fruit trees.

To the west of Zhuangzi live more than 100 households, responsible for planting grass and tending to fruit trees, and on the east side live the cavalry guards, who practice every day.

The polo field is located at the foot of Qingyun Mountain, big and wide, the length and width are more than 500 meters, there is a high pavilion promenade on the mountain to watch, there is also a rest house for players, there is also a stone tablet next to the pavilion, it is the monument to the completion of the course: "Qingyun Mountain Pavilion Monument", inscribed by Xue Shao.

Modern football stadiums, international competitions are only 120 meters * 90 meters at most, this polo field is big enough, Shen Mengxi sighed.

Sure enough, running people and running horses cannot be compared.

Shen Mengxi stepped on the ground of the court, which was smooth and solid, and there would be no dust on sunny days and no mud on rainy days. It turned out that the ground of the stadium had been sprinkled with cooking oil and repeatedly rolled to achieve this effect.

The moment Shen Mengxi flew on the horse, her blood immediately gushed, and the cells in her whole body were shouting, she patted the horse's buttocks with her hand, and reprimanded loudly: "Driving——! ”

The horse's hooves flew and galloped out, the gale whistled in his ears, and Shen Mengxi held the reins in his hand and couldn't help laughing.

Qingfeng wiped away a handful of tears, and muttered in his mouth: "The princess is fine, the princess is fine." ”

The children stood on the edge of the racecourse, watching A-Niang gallop on horseback, and the deer leaned out to find A-Niang, Qingfeng hurriedly dissuaded: "The little lady is not in a hurry, when she grows up, the lady will also learn to ride a horse!" ”

At this time, the population of the country was about 50 million, and the imperial court had more than 700,000 cavalry. One of the basic military policies of the state is to expand the cavalry, especially the light cavalry, and polo, which has become a compulsory training subject.

Qingyun Mountain Villa has 400 war horses, and the Qingyun Mountain Polo Field is also used for cavalry training, playing polo can train cavalry fighting skills on war horses, and be proficient in using weapons on horses. Taiping and Xue Shao are both polo masters, and their husbands and wives often team up to play against each other, winning and losing each other.

After two months of hard training in the villa, Shen Mengxi's riding skills improved, and his polo skills were full of blood, and the six arts of etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics also benefited a lot.

The six arts of a gentleman are compulsory for men, and Shen Mengxi never thought about refinement, but only wanted to be familiar. Etiquette, music, archery and calligraphy were all mastered by Taiping himself, and Shen Mengxi mainly studied driving and mathematics, which here includes rational numbers and qi numbers, that is, the laws of restraint of the five elements of yin and yang.

She asked Yin'er to study together, the child looked at his mother with a serious attitude, and he worked very hard, everything he could learn was studied very seriously, and the little boy was anxious to provoke the beams of the princess's mansion.

Shen Mengxi ordered someone to call Zhuangtou.

Zhuang Tou was a very shrewd man in his fifties, his hair and beard were a little gray, and he walked quickly to the bottom of the stairs and bowed: "Cheap slave Lin Changsheng to greet Her Royal Highness the Princess, and greet Da Langjun!" ”

Shen Mengxi walked out with Yin'er and stood on the steps, "Lin Zhuangtou, over the years, you have done things very well, and I am very relieved that Zhuangzi will hand it over to you." Now, I have one more thing to give you. ”

Lin Zhuang kowtowed again, bowed his head and said, "Although Her Royal Highness the princess commands, go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, the cheap slave will do it!" ”

Shen Mengxi smiled: "Now that the country is safe and secure, how can there be anything you want to do." ”

"The slave is wrong." Lin Zhuangtou hurriedly fell to the ground.

"Get up and speak." Shen Mengxi called Lin Zhuangtou and said bluntly: "I plan to plant some trees in this village, and now you can start buying and exploring, and plant them next spring." “

Lin Zhuang wiped a handful of sweat on his head and got up.

Shen Mengxi planned to build a long, long, wide and wide road in Zhuangzi, which could accommodate three carriages in parallel. She doesn't intend to imitate the popular winding paths and scenes, she wants to build this manor into what she wants.

A 1,000-meter road leads to the courtyard, and there are two rows of ginkgo trees on both sides of the road.

On both sides of the field, large areas of peach, apricot, pear, and cherry trees are planted. A large area of land was planted with peonies and roses and wisteria. Lin Zhuangtou's face was bitter, this was bound to occupy farmland and pasture, which would affect the harvest, he calculated in his heart, but he promised with confidence on his face.

Lu Jingyi, the commander of the guards, asked to see him outside the gate, and as soon as he approached the steps, he clasped his fists and saluted, saying that he would meet the princess.

Shen Mengxi looked carefully, this person was about 1.75 meters tall, about 30 years old, with a mustache and a strong physique. Wearing a hood, wearing a round-necked narrow-sleeved robe, a leather belt around the waist, black boots on his feet, and a standard military uniform, he stood at the foot of the stairs and listened to orders.

"Commander Lu, there are three things that invite you to come." Shen Mengxi was straightforward.

"The subordinates don't dare." Lu Jingyi lowered his head and clenched his fists.

Shen Mengxi knew that he was polite because of the word "please", and said to himself: "First, I plan to build a good polo field, and the surrounding pavilions will also be repaired; Second, I plan to increase the soldier's allowance, and you have to cooperate with me to make a good plan and do a good job in the placement of military families; Third, the training of government soldiers should be strengthened, we only have only 300 people, and only when the individual combat ability is strong, can the safety of the princess's mansion be guaranteed! ”

After hearing this, Lu Jingyi couldn't help but look up at Shen Mengxi, and hurriedly bowed his head in response.

"Lin Zhuangtou cooperated with Commander Lu to build the polo field, and you all wrote a plan to me when you go back, well, that is, to list a charter, and if you have any objections, you will discuss it. Today's events, don't talk about them for now. ”

The two of them replied and bowed their heads and retreated.

Shen Mengxi clapped his hands, exhaled, took Yin'er's hand and said: Smash! Let's eat something delicious! ”

The two little ones, who heard about it indoors, also ran out with joy.
