Chapter 439: Play is also the doorway
"Comfortable."
Li Siye stood behind Yang Yuyao and gently pressed his hands on her shoulders. She sat on the porch chair in her long skirt, her eyebrows were slightly green, her face was happy, and her mouth was lightly breathing.
"Don't really say it, your ability to serve people is not bad."
"What kind of skill is this?" Li Siye smiled modestly: "It's just my own foolishness." ”
Yang Yuyao glanced up at him, then drooped her eyelids, lazily leaned on the railing with her hands, lowered her head and groaned, "What else would you do besides this?" ”
"There are also hunting, keju, spring walking, outings, and so on."
"These are nothing, what others won't?"
"Others won't? Playing? ”
"Of course, what else can I worry about besides playing, lady?"
This sentence is the most hated, most people have been suffering from labor since they were born, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, both ancient and modern. However, there is a small group of people who never work and wantonly consume the grain and other means of production that the peasants have worked so hard to produce, and it is the so-called ruling class.
While expressing his hatred for the ruling class in his heart, Li Siye nodded with a smile and said, "Give me a few days, and I will send you a set of fun things after Yuan Zheng." ”
Yang Yuyao sat upright, turned around and smiled arrogantly: "Okay, I'll wait for you to give me good news, don't let me down, otherwise I won't let you enter this door in the future." ”
This threat is still very powerful, and he thinks that he should seize this opportunity, regardless of whether this woman is beautiful or ugly, good or evil.
"Okay, that's a deal."
When Li Siye led the horse and left Yang's mansion, Yang Yuyao sat on the platform and looked at his back coldly. For her, it was just a bigger kid. He once saved his sister Yang Yuhuan, and now his sister has become the emperor's favorite concubine, which makes their Yang family prosperous. This does have something to do with him, but it would be too self-conscious to think that he could get her favor for no reason.
……
Li Siye searched non-stop in various workshops in Chang'an City, and first found a carpenter to make a table out of camphor wood that is not easy to crack. I don't know what material to use for the tablecloth, the silk is too smooth and the friction is small, in fact, the wool is the best, but the cloth mixed with the kudzu cloth and the wool is too coarse, and only the Tubo produced in the cloth is the most suitable, which undoubtedly costs a lot of money, and the Sasanian gold coins in the former house of Xinchangfang will be a little less.
He also has to look for materials to make balls, ivory is too expensive to make him feel distressed to the point of dripping blood, jade is not easy to find, all kinds of stones are easy to crack, it is best to choose or sandalwood, Chang'an East City has a shop specializing in carving such wood objects, he specially went to a trip, asking them to carve the same size and weight of the sphere, just to pay this deposit cost five or six Sasanian gold coins.
He went to the bow-making master's house and asked them to make some sturdy poles.
Li Siye allocated the required materials to five or six families to make them, firstly, to save time, and secondly, even if these people wanted to break their heads, they would not know the real use of this thing.
He waited for nearly five or six days before he went to each workshop to order people to collect the things, and hired a few laborers to carry the two tables to Yang's mansion.
"What is this? A long case for eating? How did you make two at once? The Yang sisters looked at the high table with anticipation on their faces.
"Ladies, I'll show you later, let's set up a place for the table first."
The ground floor of the small building of the Yang Mansion happened to be empty except for the screen, and Li Siye ordered someone to put the table in, there were six holes around the table, and the tablecloth made of the table was also dyed grass green.
He used a wooden carriage to place sixteen balls, one of which was white, one was black, and the other fourteen balls were painted red and primary colors with cinnabar, which was the composition of a simple fancy billiards.
The three Yang sisters stood at the table, looking at this strange thing with great interest, first to see how Li Siye played.
He took a wooden rod with hoop and put his palm on the table and cocked his thumb, placed the rod between his thumb and the angle between the tiger's mouth, and slammed the rod with his back hand, and the white ball rushed forward to scatter the gathered wooden balls, and then tried to hit the ball into the hole in turn, and explained the rules of the game to them
The three Yang sisters looked at it a little coldly for a while, then raised their eyebrows and were eager to try, and then took the rod with great interest and tried it themselves. Li Siye coached hand-in-hand, of course, physical contact was inevitable, but it was just a small test for him.
The Tang people regard fat as beauty, but it is not as thick as the fat dun from shoulder to waist, what they ask for is a thin waist and fat buttocks, the front is convex and the back is warped, and the three sisters of the Yang family fully meet such aesthetic standards.
The three women were happily bumping around the billiards, and Li Siye relaxed and sat cross-legged on the side, watching them laugh and swing with satisfaction, they seemed to have forgotten about him.
"This billiard ball is really interesting, if it is dedicated to the palace, the saint and the lady will also like it." Yang Yuyao said with interest as she leaned on her cue.
"That's why I found someone to make two, one was left in the house for you to relieve your boredom, and the other was dedicated to the saint and the Taizhen lady."
Yang Yuyao looked back at him, her eyes flashing with an unusual luster: "Li Siye, it seems that you are not a martial artist who can only use a knife and a gun." ”
Li Siye smiled with his hands and said, "Thank you for the praise of the third lady." ”
Judging from the smiles on their faces, the effect was not bad, and this alone was enough to keep them entertained for a while, and he could just stay out of it for a few days.
He was indeed idle for a few days, and returned to the Anxi Duhu Mansion in Pingkangfang to calm down and rest in the backyard, thinking about how to get along with the Yang sisters.
Just three days later, the servants of the Yang family came to the door again and sent an invitation to Li Siye, inviting him to go outside Chang'an City tomorrow for winter hunting.
This big winter is going to go hunting in the suburbs, winter prey is very scarce, maybe only wild sheep and elk, who knows what these girls think.
In the early morning of the second day, there was still a faint mist in the air, which made the streets and alleys immersed in white. Li Siye had already led the horse from the backyard and was ready to go.
"Envoy Li!"
He turned his head suddenly, but saw Cheng Qianli coming out of nowhere, with a bow on his back, his hands in his sleeves, and rubbed in front of him like a landlord and old wealth: "You have been a little busy lately, and you are still alone, and you don't even bring your subordinates and personal soldiers." I'm still wearing a hunting costume today, so I'm going to hunt in the suburbs? ”
Why does this thing always focus on him, it's like a kraft candy. Li Siye crossed his hands and smiled: "Gao Duhu, I just have nothing to do, and I go to the suburbs of Chang'an alone to relax." ”
"Don't get me wrong," Cheng Qianli said, "I'm not trying to inquire about your whereabouts, I have a checkered bow and quiver here, how can I go on a safari without these things?" ”
Cheng Qianli's thoughts Li Siye understood very well, so naturally he couldn't snub him too much, so he solemnly took it from his hands with both hands, nodded and said, "Thank you." ”
He led the horse and went away in the distance under Cheng Qianli's gaze.
When Li Siye came to the gate of Yang's mansion, there were already five or six little eunuchs leading horses and waiting, whether they were horses or eunuchs, they were all gifts from the emperor.
The three ladies arrived belatedly, wearing cross-collared hukou clothes and wearing simple upsets on their heads. The servants fell to their knees, waiting for them to step on their shoulders and mount their horses.
Everyone walked all the way out of Chang'an City, and looked at the lush vegetation in the four fields, but the animals running were very rare. The women did not seem to be interested in the so-called hunting, and they did not want to spend that effort to draw their bows and aim, but simply walked their horses.
After traveling for nearly five or six miles, there was a queue of banners waving not far away, judging from the six scarlet Daxu and the crimson door, this must be the travel queue of the envoy of a certain feudal town.
If it was an ordinary person, they should avoid it from a distance when they saw such a team, but the Yang family sisters were not ordinary people, so they immediately went forward to see after glancing at each other.
The black flag at the front of the team has two big characters written on it, and in the center of the wind hunting flags and the horse team, you can clearly see a fat man wearing a purple robe and several long braids.
The Yang sisters smiled: "It turned out to be An Fatty, we called him over." ”
Li Siye felt that it was not good, he didn't want to meet this person on this occasion, but at the moment, I am afraid that this situation is impossible to stop.
Yang Yuyao raised her head and raised her chest, took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "Fat man, get over to the old lady!" ”
The marching queue stopped suddenly, and the soldiers who were holding Changge and waving banners in the march looked sideways, and then looked ahead, and the cavalry subconsciously pressed their hands on the hilt of their swords, and the murderous aura naturally escaped.
