Volume 2: Mountains Have Trees and Trees Have Branches 121: Tibetan Paper

Spring is actually not the season for chestnuts to ripen, Chang Li walked most of the street, and finally asked about the Chen chestnuts collected a year ago in a market, bought them at a high price, and rushed back to deliver them to Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan peeled a chestnut shell and put the chestnut in her mouth.

The chestnuts are getting heavier and heavier, and the sweetness that has been precipitated throughout the winter spreads on the tip of the tongue, and the pure sweetness moistens the stomach until it has a heavy taste.

And love is planted longer and deeper. It's always there, always aftertasted, slowly grows, and quietly stored. In the end, loving him became a part of her life.

"Ah Yan," he said to her, turning back and smiling, "come down." Let's go to dinner. ”

"Hmm." She nodded unconsciously. Smiling.

It seems that she has always been unable to refute his every word.

Quarrels could be heard from afar in the East Market.

They followed the sound and saw a woman in white sobbing in front of the restaurant, while two men were arguing.

"Is that him?" Liu Ying said in surprise.

One of them is someone she and Liu Ying both know, Xu Xiang.

"This little lady obviously doesn't want to go back with you, so why should you be strong." Xu Xiang was in front of the woman, questioning the visitor, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Liu Ying and Zhang Yan who were standing on the side dressed lightly, a hint of color flashed in their eyes, and they were about to come over to pay homage, but they saw Liu Ying stretch out her hand and shook it gently.

He hesitated.

"Lan Niang is just a singing woman, since I like her, it is her convincing, and what are you." The young man in Xuanyi on the opposite side shouted arrogantly, "I'm a member of Empress Zhang's clan, do you weigh it, can you provoke it?" ”

On the side, Zhang Yan, who was holding sugar-fried chestnuts to watch the excitement, stumbled when she heard this. Almost stood on the ground. Seeing Liu Ying's questioning eyes, he quickly shook his head, his eyes innocent.

There are not thousands of people in the Zhang family, but hundreds. Where can she know everything?

And she was his queen.

Liu Yingying's heart twisted.

He could deceive himself and treat her as if she were the little lovely niece he had ever had. But in any case, she was already his queen.

As if bitten by a snake and insect for a moment, he let go of the hand holding her and looked away slightly.

Zhang Yan looked at the empty palms, and her heart was sad.

Just a little distraction, the situation on the field has changed. It is suspected that the disciple surnamed Zhang held his face and pointed at Xu Xiang painfully, "You, you are so bold." If you have the ability to put down your name, Master Ben will settle accounts with you in the future. ”

Xu Xiang smiled meaninglessly, "I'm Xu Xiang." ”

The people of Chang'an exclaimed.

Sou Su Du Wei Xu Xiang.

Invented advanced agricultural tools, improved agricultural technology, and made the people of Guanzhong sufficiency.

And the singer Lan Niang's gaze at Xu Xiang was also dyed with admiration.

sent Lan Niang away. Xu Xiang walked over and bowed, "This ...... Brother Liu, I said goodbye last time, not long after absence, and I met by chance today. We're in for a few. ”

Liu Ying smiled slightly, he didn't know that Ah Yan knew Xu Xiang, and looked back at Zhang Yan. "This is ......"

He hesitated slightly.

How should I introduce Ah Yan?

It is naturally not okay to say that she is her own queen. Don't say that the queen of the middle palace should sit in the harem of Weiyang Palace at this time, which one is a wife, and will dress up as a man to travel in Chang'an City?

Say she's her own nephew? However, everyone in the world knows that he only has one nephew. Xuanping Hou Shiziyan is seven years old this year.

He hadn't figured it out yet. Zhang Yan leaned out from behind him and said with a smile, "Hey, this is Lord Xu, the commander of Sosu who was praised by the people of Guanzhong." My surname is Meng, and I am the cousin of the elder brother of the Liu family. ”

She smiled and asked, "Brother, huh?" He pinched his fingers to vent his anger.

"Uh-"

In the private room on the second floor of the restaurant, Zhang Yan looked down from the branch window and saw an old woman on the street carrying makeup and selling rouge and gouache ornaments.

"Master, Jin Zhi Yuye, what are the precious things at home, and you still like these?" Yin Qin, the guard who was ordered to protect her, poked his head out to the side and asked curiously.

"There's no shortage of it." Zhang Yan smiled and picked out a wooden hairpin that carved plum blossoms, "But it's still fun." He turned around and asked, "Do you have any money with you?" ”

"Uh, no." Yin Qin said dumbfounded. He's a guard, not a paid henchman.

"Why don't you go up and ask Han Changliu for it." Zhang Yan glared at him.

Yin Qin touched his nose, looked left and right, the long street was lively and peaceful, and after leaving for a while, the queen mother should not be in any danger. So he walked upstairs quickly, and almost collided with Xu Xiang who came down on the stairs.

"Zhang Gongzi." Xu Xiang called her.

Zhang Yan turned around and saw that he also bent down to choose ornaments, so she couldn't help but smile and asked, "Do you also pick ornaments for your wife?" ”

"Ahem," Xu Xiang coughed and sighed lightly, "I still don't have a wife." ”

"I'm sorry." However, what happened to Xu Xiang was not something that Zhang Yan was interested in knowing, so she lowered her head.

"Zhang Gongzi," behind him, Xu Xiang said again, "When you talk about me, others don't know that the honor is added to me, but I myself know that Zhang Gongzi has really helped me a lot before and after." I shouldn't be ignorant, it's just that Zhishi is not in the farm, and he has worked hard in the palace for so many years, can he leave temporarily? ”

Zhang Yan looked back at him unexpectedly and asked, "Isn't this bad now?" ”

After this incident, you are in the heart of the emperor, and you are very popular with the people. The three years of studying and studying the crops of the palace are really beneficial and harmless to Xu Xiang.

"I am a Confucian child."

"Oh?" Zhang Yan responded.

Confucianism respects Confucius, and Confucius is a lowly peasant. In the past, Fan Chi asked for a study, and Confucius said, "Villain, Fan Xu also!" ”

She just didn't expect that such thoughts were also deeply engraved in Xu Xiang's mind.

Obviously, it was the crops that gave Xu Xiang the capital to enter the imperial court, but on the contrary, he still looked down on the crops in his bones.

"Your Majesty also said that agriculture is the foundation of the world, and what is the great thing about Confucius." She couldn't help but say, "If there is no farmer in the world who cultivates the land, is he going to suck the wind and drink the dew?" ”

"Zhang Gongzi." Xu Xiang couldn't help but change color slightly.

"Alright." Zhang Yan shook her head, "I don't love strong people either, you don't like it." Let's not do it. Don't have to ask me. Actually," she said thoughtfully, "I have an idea in my mind, which is not mature enough, but if it can be successful." There's a position that's right for you. ”

"It's just that where there is a beginning, there must be a good end. Since you have been doing it for so long, before you leave your job, you might as well combine the experience of these years with the writings of your predecessors. Write a book on agriculture so that people all over the world can learn from it. ”

What's your idea? Xu Xiang couldn't help but want to ask, but a group of people came down from the restaurant. Liu Ying, the leader, hurriedly said, "Ah Yan, there is something at home, I have to go back first." ”

She groaned and stood up. The interest is lost.

"I'm sorry, Ah Yan." He apologized, "I promised to be with you, but I broke my promise." ”

After a while, she smiled, "It's okay. 'Brother'" the corners of his eyes were gentle, "As long as you have that heart, Ah Yan will be happy." ”

Jiaofang Palace

Xie Wei came into the hall with a lacquer box. Bai said, "Niangniang, there is news from the Xuanping Hou Mansion that the first batch of good paper has been produced?" ”

"So fast?"

Zhang Yan bathed and changed her clothes, shaking her hair that was still dripping with water. He looked back in surprise.

"It's not fast." Xie Wei pursed his lips and smiled, "Those gentlemen in Momen are very surprised. According to Niangniang, choosing the skin and making paper with some side things is really better than marijuana. After the pulping, it is even more decayed into magic, and the copied paper is like being reborn. ”

She drained the green silk, took the wooden box, took out a piece of paper, flicked it, pursed her lips and said, "It's not enough." - You tell him Wei Kui and ask him to try something else, which should be whiter and brighter. ”

"Queen Mother," Shen Dongshou stood on the side, she was a safe person, but she was quite obsessed with the way of writing, seeing this kind of paper that can change the style of books in the future, she couldn't help but be moved in her heart, and couldn't help asking, "Is this new paper really convenient for writing and long-term storage?" ”

"Nature." Zhang Yan was stunned for a moment, hooked her lips and smiled.

"Can you lend it to Wechen?" Shen Dongshou was eager to try it, and asked Yin Yin.

She smiled and handed it out.

The paper is light, thin, fair, and good, in Shen Dongshou's opinion, it is already quite unexpectedly good. She stroked it in admiration, took out the bamboo pen in her sleeve, and dipped it in ink to write on the paper.

The journey was surprisingly smooth. The ink color spread out on the paper, the muscles and bones were visible, bright and dazzling, Shen Dongshou was obsessed, he couldn't help but reach out and touch it again, and muttered, "If I have this kind of paper, in the future, I can remember history without being limited to the number of words, so that I can show what I have learned in my heart." ”

"Don't." Zhang Yan pulled back the paper in her hand and said, "You're already good now." If I write more, wouldn't my words and deeds in this middle palace be exposed to the light of the sky. ”

"—Your Majesty drove to the Jiaofang Palace."

An abrupt announcement suddenly came from outside the hall.

Zhang Yan was startled, and hurriedly stuffed the paper into the lacquer box, and closed it with a "snap".

Outside the hall, Liu Ying's footsteps were quite fast, and it seemed that she was about to lift the curtain and come in.

She looked left and right, and the screens in the hall were clear at a glance, but she couldn't find a place to hide things. In desperation, he hid the wooden box behind his back. Turning around and smiling, "Your Majesty, don't you come to me until you are here on weekdays, why did you arrive so early today?" ”

Seeing her reluctant look in her eyes, Liu Ying smiled and said, "I suddenly remembered something, and I wanted to talk to Ah Yan, so I hurried back—you haven't dried your hair yet, how many times have you said it, you will get cold like this......" suddenly went around and asked, "What is hiding behind you?" ”
