Yi Yu thought all the way back to the banquet hall from the back door, and when he turned his eyes, he found that Li Tai was not in the seat, and the servant only said that the prince was going to change clothes, but Yi Yu had a score in his heart, and remembered the bet with Li Tai in the morning, smiled, and asked people to send twenty jars of wine to the table.

Li Tai went, and did not show up again until the banquet was over, and Yu Yu sat for half an hour, seeing that it was not too early, before getting up and thanking the guests who came to celebrate her birthday today.

"Sister, sister, etc."

After hearing a few shouts, Yi Yu realized that he was calling himself, and turned around to see a girl with yellow clothes and pink silk stopped by the maid seven or eight steps away, looking at her shyly.

"You're... Yiqing? Yu Yu recognized this girl who had a relationship with each other in the Eastern Metropolis.

When Lu Yiqing heard that she could call her name, her face suddenly turned red with excitement, and she nodded vigorously.

Although there is no blood relationship, but it is also a cousin, in the face of such a little girl, Yu Yu did not hold up the princess shelf in front of people, waved her hand to signal the maid to let her go, so that she could come closer and talk.

"Is there fourteen this year?"

"Well, Xiao Yi was born in July, and she is fourteen years old," Lu Yiqing stood in front of Yi Yu, her face was shy, and she was half-hanging down with a hanging bun with apricot powder sideburns and corners, which looked very well-behaved, and held a stack of fragrant wood flower notes that had been protected on her chest since just now to Yu Yu, and said:

"This is a birthday gift for my sister."

"Oh?" Yiyu took it and looked at it, which was neatly strung together with red silk threads, and the six three-inch long incense pieces were copied from a description of Fu, and read a few sentences silently, although the words were immature, but fortunately, the pen was neat, the writing was quite smooth, the incense pieces were cut neatly, and the pages were fresh and clean, which showed that they were made with heart.

Yiyu appreciates people who are serious about things, so she has a good impression of this cousin:

"You did it yourself?"

Lu Yiqing nodded lightly, and said embarrassedly: "Xiaoyi has only been studying for three years, and her writing is not good, so my sister doesn't dislike it." ”

"I like it very much," Yi Yu smiled, folded the text and put it in her sleeve, and asked her again, "Did you invite a husband at home, or did you study in the school?" ”

"I hired a gentleman, he was very strict, and he taught well, that is, that is..."

"Huh? What is it? ”

"It's just that there is only one girl in the house, Xiaoyi is a girl, she reads and writes alone, and after a long time, she will inevitably feel bored and bored," Lu Yiqing said in one breath, even her neck was red, she wrung her fingers, stared at her toes, and twisted:

"You and Sister Shuqing have both studied in Guozijian, and I'm not afraid of your jokes, Xiaoyi also wants to enter Guozixue, but, just..."

In recent years, the Guozijian has become more and more strict in accepting people, the children of the official eunuchs, unless they are the children of the incumbent Beijing officials above the fifth grade, and then they are recommended by prestigious people to enroll, otherwise they are not even qualified to enter the door, Lu Ronghe is not far more than Lu Rongyuan has a knighthood, he is now just a five-grade loose official, and there is no way in the court, originally the Zhao family and the Yu Shinan family are relatives, and it is not impossible to help intercede, but the last time Lu Jun's marriage Dou was troublesome behind his back, offended the Zhao family, so this road will not work.

Yi Yu listened to her express her expectations quite bluntly, thought for a while, and then spoke:

"After you go back, make an article every day and have someone send it to the palace."

Leaving such a sentence, Yiyu didn't explain much, neither standardized what she wanted to write, nor told her when she would write, so she turned around and left with the maids.

Lu Yiqing watched the noble and glorious cousin being hugged by a group of servants, fading away step by step in the lamplight, even the disappearing back made people feel high, and her immature face showed a bit of complexity beyond age, admiration, admiration, and some stubbornness, and unwillingness.

"Someday, I'll live like this..."

The words were divided into two ends, Song Xinci left the long street in front of the Wei Wangfu in despair, ran a long distance aimlessly, and waited until his mood calmed down, and stopped on the side of the road out of breath, only to find that he was lost.

The Yuan people who were selected into Beijing live in the post house, and there are guards to take care of them every day, she can sneak out tonight, or spend some money to bribe a team leader, but the guards take turns day and night, and they will be replaced by another batch when they are over, and the team leader must come back before the time of her son, and now she is lost, the main gate of the market has long been closed, and there is no one on the street who asks for directions.

She stood alone in a strange street, looking around, the doors of every house were closed, the few lanterns were flickering on and off, and a gust of wind blew, and the light was weaker.

She shuddered, and then she knew that she was afraid, and suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves in the street, accompanied by the rolling of the wheels, breaking the silence of the night.

She looked at the carriage coming from the corner of the street with trepidation, and ducked to the side of the road, but how could such a large man standing in the street be ignored, and the driver of the coachman saw that there was a man on the side of the road, still a young woman in thin clothes, so he stopped and reported to the owner of the car.

The master and servant didn't know what to say, and the coachman turned his head and said to Song Xinci with a pleasant face:

"Dare to ask why this girl is wandering on the road late at night?"

Song Xinci saw that the carriage was tall and the coachman did not dress like a descendant of an ordinary family, so he felt that the possibility of being a bad person was very small, so he said timidly:

"I... I was on the wrong track and didn't know where it was. ”

The coachman turned around and whispered a few words to the car, and said to Song Xinci: "Where is Miss going, our master said that he would give you a ride." ”

Song Xinci hesitated, and when the coachman saw that she was vigilant, he smiled and said, "Miss, don't worry, we are serious people, and my master is a woman, so you might as well share the car." ”

At the right time, a pleasant female voice came from the car:

"Girl, get in the car, the doors are closed after nightfall, no one will send you, you can't get out."

Hearing this, Song Xinci had no other choice, so he had to thank the pair of master and servant, carry his skirt, bow his head and carefully pedal into the carriage.

After a slight pause, the carriage drove down the street, and Song Xinci didn't know that her life had changed direction on this street corner.

When Yu Yu returned to the room, Li Tai had already changed out of his regular clothes, sat under the lamp, and fiddled with a few strange wooden weapons on the table, either square or round.

Yi Yu glanced at the thing in his hand, took off his coat, handed it to Ping Hui, walked over and sat down beside him with a smile, and reached out to probe his forehead while feigning doubt:

"Why did the prince quit at that moment, is it uncomfortable?"

Li Tai grabbed the hand she was sticking to her forehead and took it down, held it in his palm, squinted his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Whose idea was it?" ”

"What's the idea?" Seeing his reaction, Yi Yu laughed in his heart, but his face pretended to be confused, and he raised his other hand to touch his forehead.

Li Tai didn't pull her this time, let her touch his forehead recklessly, his eyes settled on her smiling face, and said with a serious expression:

"When did you start preparing that picture?"

In the morning, she made a bet with him, and he knew that she must have a backhand, and when she was halfway through the banquet, the Literature Museum really came over, and he originally planned to go over to see whether it was important or not, so as to set off her heart, but he didn't expect that she would give him a big gift on her birthday.

A seventeen-foot-long map of the whole Tang Dynasty, ten roads in the world and more than 350 continents, leaping on the paper, rivers, seas and lakes, mountains and plains, at a glance, the details, marked with different lines and colors, although it still needs to be pondered, the division of different regions is rough, and it is only a prototype, but such a magnificent huge map, before this, Li Tai has never seen it, and there is a sense of broad-mindedness spontaneously arises at that time.

If this diagram is refined, refined, and used in military and political affairs, its role can be imagined.

Seeing that Li Tai's tone had changed, Yi Yu also joked, put down his hand, and explained solemnly:

"I have long been looking for someone to draw a detailed geological map, last year in Anyang was free, pregnant to ponder some details, Kun Yuanlu is has been the local circle size are included in detail, we just need to use a special ruler to find out the proportion, the whole country is divided into several pieces of drawing, and finally put together, shrink on the drawing, make a detailed map of the Tang Dynasty, it is not difficult, tonight to show you, or just a sketch, to be improved."

Li Tai held up a triangular flat board in his hand in front of her and asked:

"Are these strangely shaped planks rulers? How did you come up with it? ”

Yi Yu also picked up another triangular ruler from the table, handed it to him, and explained to him in the words that had been prepared a long time ago:

"These are indeed rulers, but I didn't come up with them, you know I'm not good at arithmetic, but I read a lot of miscellaneous books, I remember an article in the early years, about a bricklayer building a house, often used two different shapes of half-angle measurements, built a house firm and straight, I got inspiration from it, I made these square rulers."

"Ruler?" Li Tai looked at the ruler in her hand curiously, and took a semicircle on the table and gave it to her, "This is also used to measure the map?" ”

"This is for angles," Yi Yu saw that he was interested, so she asked Pinghui to fetch the paper and the charcoal she had started using when she was in Anyang, lay on the table, and tried the role of each ruler to him.

Li Tai is very smart, and after a cup of tea, he figured out what these large and small rulers were for. The clearer she is, the more she feels her good intentions.

"What do you want?"

"Huh?" Yi Yu was still demonstrating the role of the ruler to him, and when he heard Li Tai ask, he was in a trance, and then remembered that the two of them had made a bet in the morning, so he put down the ruler in his hand, supported the side of his head with one hand, lay on the table and looked back at him, and said with a wink:

"That picture was supposed to make up for your birthday gift the year before last, but we are willing to gamble and lose, you fouled and talked about business today, so I will punish you to play with Xiaoyudian tomorrow for a whole day."

Li Tai didn't think she would ask for any gold, silver and jewelry, or mention something that didn't know how to measure, but with children?

"Don't frown," Yi Yu stretched out his index finger to press the wrinkles that surged between Li Tai's eyebrows, afraid that he would regret it, and deliberately asked back:

"Shouldn't the prince be like those men who are arrogant and arrogant, thinking that it is not a husband's act to be close to their children?"

“... I have something to do tomorrow," Li Tai looked at Yi Yu frowning, puffing up his cheeks with a dissatisfied look, and also stretched out a finger to suppress her brow, and said with a low smile:

"The day after tomorrow."

Yi Yu first shook his eyes by his smile, then smiled, leaned up and hugged his neck, and happily responded with a "yes".

Joy, anger and sorrow, he is not absent, but few people will give him the opportunity to taste, she is very glad that she still has a long time to accompany him and teach him slowly.
