was sent away from Qujiangchi by the two princes, not so much the attention here, but at the moment more worried about whether the two brothers would fight, in short, just walking can feel a huge pressure.

Passing by a lot of people, Li Chengqian and Li Tai did not speak.

I saw a monk not far away, and then I saw that it was the Bopo monk I had seen in the East Palace before.

At this moment, he was with the sea and air monks, and the two bald heads were particularly conspicuous among a group of powerful supporters.

Zhang Yang walked by with his daughter-in-law casually, and listened to their discussions, as if they were talking about Penglai Immortal Island and Changsheng.

The more uneducated people and those who do not have the courage to practice the truth, the more they tend to believe such things.

Just listened to it, and Zhang Yang led his daughter-in-law to speed up.

Just as he was about to walk out of Qujiang Pond, Zhang Yang turned around and saluted: "His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the King of Wei will not send it, we will go home." ”

Seeing that Li Chengqian was about to speak, Li Tai hurriedly said: "There are still many uncertain times in business, wait for the next time I come to discuss with my brother-in-law." ”

Zhang Yang saluted again, and then walked out of Qujiang Pond.

In fact, Qujiangchi is a very good place, although it is a royal place, at least when there are few people, it is clean and beautiful.

Today's weather is good, walking in the alley is about to arrive at the door, it is very secluded here and there are usually no passers-by, just like Chang'an City has one more corner that no one has set foot in, and even the moss in the corner of the wall grows very well.

Li Yue asked in a low voice, "Husband, is there really Penglai Immortal Island and Immortal Life in this world?" ”

Zhang Yang smiled: "What do you think? ”

"If there is immortality, my husband and I can live for many, many years."

Zhang Yang sighed: "If there is really immortality in this world, then it is really chaotic, and the children are chaotic for generations." ”

"There are records about this in some classics, especially in some miscellaneous books, there are records of immortality and some beasts."

"Well, there has been no shortage of these stories from ancient times to the present day."

Almost walking to the door, Zhang Yang smiled: "Let's tell you a story." ”

"Okay."

"Once upon a time there was a group of people who lived in a cave, and several prisoners were imprisoned there, and the people in the cave were shackled, with their backs to the exit, and they could barely see the vague shadows of what was cast on the walls of the cave by the fire, and some people thought that only by getting rid of these shadows could they break free."

After hearing this story, Li Yue was puzzled: "Why do they think so? ”

"This story was told by a man named Plato, and when the teacher told us this story, we were told to think a lot."

"Thinking about what?"

"Illusory and realistic, people in the cave can't see the exit behind them, they can only face their own shadow, and the shadow is not a physical object, it is just a reflection of reality."

Until he walked into the house, Li Yue was still thinking.

Xiao Wu is very sensible, she is cutting paper with Aunt Yang.

"Does this story have a name?" Li Yue asked suddenly.

"Well, there is a name, the name of this story is called the Ideal Country, there are other stories in the Ideal Country, and I will tell you slowly in the future."

Li Yue nodded expectantly.

While eating dinner, Li Yue suddenly put down his chopsticks, "If our current world is real, then the immortal life they are facing is the shadow of the prisoner in the cave. ”

Zhang Yang smiled: "Think about it carefully. ”

Li Yue put down the dishes and chopsticks and sighed helplessly: "Is there any point in thinking about this kind of question?" ”

"Perhaps, the more rational people are, the less bothered they are by this question."

"The husband is a very rational person, and he doesn't know how to appreciate elegance at all."

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Wenya can't be eaten as a meal." ”

Xiao Wu held a bowl as big as his face, listening to the conversation between the two, his eyes moving between the couple in front of him with the sound of the words.

The tour of Qujiangchi did not end until night, during which His Majesty did not show up.

In the early morning of November in Chang'an City, a heavy fog shrouded the whole city, and the fog had not yet dispersed when many officials went to court.

It wasn't until the sun had fully risen, and it was almost mid-morning, that the fog had receded.

Yang Shidao, who went down to the court, walked into the ministry and received His Majesty's will to temporarily replace the secretary of the ministry.

Your Majesty has said before that there will be a time for reuse.

At this moment, Yang Shidao is grateful to Li Shimin in his heart, and he is grateful for this kindness.

Looking at the officials, this was originally Gao Shilian's position.

Now he will never return to this position.

"Congratulations to Yang Shilang for his promotion to the secretary of the ministry."

Yang Shidao bowed his head and said: "How to be promoted, it's just temporary, those who have the ability to live in this position, and there will be people who are more capable than the old man to serve as the secretary of the ministry in the future." ”

The entire ministry was sorted out, and Yang Shidao sat on the upper seat and began to deal with various documents.

When Gao Shilian had not yet retired, these things were handled by Yang Shidao, and now he took over these things very smoothly.

With the departure of Gao Shilian, Li Shimin readjusted various positions in the DPRK and China.

Outside the gate of Zhongshu Province, Fang Xuanling was sitting here soaking in the sun.

The eldest grandson Wuji walked over, "There have been changes in the officials of all the ministries in the DPRK and China, and the only one that has not moved is the Ministry of Rites. ”

Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "I still remember Zhang Yang's various actions in the Ministry of Rites, although he was frivolous, but it has been proved that diplomacy is very important to the Tang Dynasty, and His Majesty attaches great importance to the Ministry of Rites." ”

"The post of secretary of the Ministry of Rites has been vacant for a long time, and many people in the court are talking about it."

Gao Shilian left the court, now the eldest grandson Wuji has more power, and the eldest grandson's family is already in full swing, Fang Xuanling shook his head helplessly, "Your Majesty does not move the Ministry of Rites because the Ministry of Rites has other uses." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji sighed: "It's a pity that the old man looked down on Zhang Yang at the beginning. ”

Fang Xuanling closed his eyes and enjoyed the sunshine, "I didn't look at it highly, he did what he said back then, but he admired him." ”

Halfway through the words, Fang Xuanling frowned and said, "It's just that there is one thing I don't understand. ”

"What's the matter?"

Fang Xuanling took a deep breath and looked solemn, "The family wealth is enough when it reaches a certain amount, and no matter how much money a person has, he can't spend it all, it is said that Zhang Yang and Her Royal Highness the princess live frugally, and said that he built three large workshops, which can earn him a lot of silver." ”

Eldest Sun Wuji nodded: "There is indeed such a thing." ”

Fang Xuanling asked again: "What is he making so much money for and what does he want to do?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said in a deep voice: "If people have no long-term concerns, they must have near-term worries. ”

After finishing the affairs of Zhongshu Province, the eldest grandson Wuji returned to the mansion, saw that his son was talking with a literati, and called: "Chong'er, my father has something to ask you." ”

The eldest grandson Chong followed his father out of the house, bowed down and said, "Is this the next dynasty?" ”

Seeing that his son talks and behaves very well, whether it is his conversation or talent, he is a well-known young talent in Chang'an City.

"You also did it to submit words to the East Palace to abuse Zhang Yang?"

"The child has never done such a thing, it is all of their own initiative, and the child has tried to stop them, but he can't stop it."

"Although Zhang Yang is lazy in the East Palace, he often does not go to the East Palace to serve, but what he does is not wrong, what he does is within the scope of his authority, don't do it if you shouldn't be offended, Your Majesty has noticed this matter, unless you ......"

The eldest grandson Chong took over the words and said, "The child understands, unless Zhang Yang really made a mistake. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji nodded, "Now that my uncle has also left the ministry, it is the time for the government to employ people, and the Bashang area will dredge the river, so this matter will be left to you." ”

Excitement flashed in his eyes, and the eldest grandson Chong saluted again, "The child must do it well." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji nodded and walked into the house, ignoring the people here, and walked through the house to his own backyard.

In the autumn and winter of this year, there were several heavy fogs in Chang'an City.

It wasn't until the cold air from the north came down that this foggy weather ended.

In the East Palace, Zhang Yang watched Li Chengqian change into a coat made of cotton, "How does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince feel about dressing?" ”

Li Chengqian felt it, "It's lighter than the mulberry linen clothes, but it's not as smooth as silk." ”

Li Yue looked at his results and replied: "For such a cotton cloth, our cost is about thirty yuan. ”

Li Chengqian raised his sleeves and asked, "If you take it to Chang'an Chengfang City to buy it, what is the price?" ”

Li Yue took the account book and said with a smile: "The price we prepared is forty yuan a piece." ”

"The price is really affordable."

Outside the East Palace, Xiao Wu was sitting on a small bench with a small table in front of her, and she was concentrating on the topic.

Li Lizhi was also pointing on the side, patiently teaching her to do the questions.

Some addition and subtraction algorithms Li Lizhen is also a little difficult to calculate, and from time to time she has to ask her imperial sister.

Li Yue said with a smile: "We have also made a few quilts in our village, and we will send them to the imperial brother at that time." ”

"Quilt?"

"Well, it's a quilt made of cotton, and it's good to have a quilt to keep out the cold when it's cold in December, and the price of a quilt is 200 yuan a bed."

Li Chengqian smiled bitterly: "The price of the quilt is really expensive. ”

Because a quilt needs several people to make by hand, unlike cotton thread, which can be made with factory equipment.

Playing cotton is a very tiring thing, and there are still some technical problems that need to be solved with the tools that can be used to play cotton.

If you stuff cotton directly into the bedding, it will also cause the cotton to clump and gap, and after a few days of making such a quilt, you will find that the cotton wool inside is already a mess.

It is still necessary to process the cotton first and make it into a neat quilt.

"This dress will be given to His Royal Highness the Prince, and the quilts after that will also be given to His Royal Highness, we still don't accept cash money according to the old rules, as long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince quietly advertises to us."

After hearing this, Li Chengqian still had some concerns, "In this way, will Qingque have resistance?" ”

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have to worry about him, if he can earn more money, it will not be too late for him to be happy." ”

Li Chengqian sat down again, "These are the things of life, once you use them, you can't do without them, and the price is low." ”

Looking at the couple in front of him, Li Chengqian sighed with emotion: "You will become very rich in the future, it must be." ”

"Borrow the prince's auspicious words, and we will go back first."

"Da'an, send them."

Zhang Da'an saluted and said, "Huh." ”

The couple took Xiao Wu out of the palace, bought some meat dishes on the way, and bought some snacks and jerky for Xiao Wu.

The air-dried beef sent by the Turks did not taste very good.

Xiao Wu is at the age of changing her teeth, and he just grinds her teeth.

She chewed beef jerky in her mouth, and her small mouth opened one by one because she was biting hard.

"Someone in the palace asked the students today if we were a family of three."

Li Yue touched Xiao Wu's head, "Then did you say it?" You are my disciple. ”

Xiao Wu shook his head, "It's a dark-looking brother who asked, so I asked such a question, and it looks the same age as the prince." ”

Who will talk to Xiao Wu when he is in the palace? It's just the children in the palace, and ordinary palace maids in the Lizheng Palace won't take the initiative to ask questions at all, and it's too late for them to serve Xiao Wu in a hurry.

There is a high probability that this was asked by Li Ke, and he is the only one who is the blackest among all the princes, most of whom are often snorting outside, and I also heard that this kid was thrown into the army by Li Shimin when he was still young.

Causing Li Ke's character to be dull?

It's no wonder that Xiao Wu's girl now looks like a lead flower taken off, and the whole person is very aura, the queen likes her very much, and she is about to take her as a goddaughter.

Compared with the children in the palace, Xiao Wu is much quieter.

A place where the bears are noisy, and a quiet child will be very conspicuous.

Seeing that winter is coming, all kinds of busy peddlers in Chang'an City have also begun to increase.

Returning home with Li Yue, Zhang Yang walked back to Zhuque Street and walked along the street to Qujiangchi.

Cheng Chumo was here, leisurely roasting a large piece of mutton, while a group of strong men were beating a monk.

It was the sea and air back then.

Zhang Yang stepped forward and asked, "It seems that Brother Chu Mo is in a good mood." ”

Cheng Chumo tore off a piece of meat and handed it over, "I didn't put salt, you eat first." ”

Zhang Yang glanced at this piece of mutton, and the inside of the bloody thorn hula was blood-red, and it was not roasted at all, "Brother Chu Mo, I don't like to eat half-eaten food when I eat under it, or I will help you barbecue meat, my skills are better." ”

"Okay, Cheng Chumo nodded."

After taking the dagger on the side, the children of the general's family are good, and they can carry the sword soldiers, and they are not afraid of being questioned by the government.

Knife the whole piece of lamb so that it cooks faster and evenly.

"Grilling meat like you, even if the skin on the outside is burnt, the meat on the inside is still raw." Zhang Yang patiently changed the knife for the mutton, and then cut off the burnt part on the outside, and then said: "Eating raw food is not a good like, half-cooked food will frequently make stomach trouble, drink water to drink boiled water, eat meat must be cooked before eating." ”

Zhang Yang handed a piece of roasted mutton to Cheng Chumo, "This piece is ready to eat." ”

A few strong men on the side were still beating the sea and air monks.

Cheng Chumo took a big bite of the meat, "I used to eat like this before, and I've long been used to it." ”、
