Xiao Qingqing nodded, and then climbed onto the bear's back listlessly, as if she was thinking too many questions today, and her thoughts were very tired.

Zhang Yang glanced back at the teacher and his wife in the courtyard, and the couple could still talk.

There are only two old people in this courtyard, and the life is inevitably a little lonely, and the teacher's three sons are all in Chang'an City, and most of them are busy with the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, and most of them have no leisure to come to Lishan.

Waiting for the teacher's family reunion will also wait until this year's Chinese New Year's Eve.

When the end of the year is approaching, many things will be scheduled for the new year.

Li Yue packed up the clothes to dry, "It's rare to see the husband and the green finch walking around." ”

It is true that I haven't seen Li Tai and Chu Mo these days.

Mainly after getting married, the chat between the two has become more and more weird.

Zhang Yang really couldn't stand their words, and avoided them these days, afraid of being caught by these two people, and then asked endlessly.

After returning to the mountain, Xiao Qingqing regained her spirits, and she looked at Xiao Hui's hands with curious eyes and gently stroked some black clay.

"Aunt Xiaohui's hands are so beautiful." She grinned.

"How were you listening today?" As she spoke, she placed the clay on a turntable, caressed both sides with both hands, and stepped on the pedal compass below to spin it.

Slender fingers hold the ends and pull up an arc.

Xiao Qingqing looked at his stubby fingers, and some chubby palms, and then compared with Aunt Xiaohui, the white palms, and slender fingers.

She hid her hands behind her back and asked, "Aunt Xiaohui, I want my hands to look so good." ”

Xu Hui said patiently: "Auntie's hands are raised by writing and knitting, and you can also raise your hands to look better in the future." ”

Born in the Jiangnan family since childhood, and is a scholarly family, Xu Hui has a literary and ink atmosphere everywhere, and her conversation and demeanor are also very polite.

These are temperaments that Xiao Wu and Li Lizhi do not have.

"What is Aunt Xiaohui doing?"

"I want to make a teapot." Xu Hui's hand was very steady, and after making the spout, she poked out a few more water outlets.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yang remembered that his daughter was the age to play with mud, and sure enough, children have not changed since ancient times, and they all like to use mud to pinch villains or animals to play.

However, Xu Hui is making teapots, and her skills are very skillful.

Xu Hui said with a smile: "My aunt's hometown is called Wuxing County, and many women there make this kind of kettle, which is used to make tea and drink plum wine. ”

While talking, Xu Hui taught Xiao Qingqing to make a kettle.

Although her hands are still very stupid and not so calm, Xu Hui Haihui Temple teaches very patiently.

A teapot took an hour to take shape, Xu Hui held the muddy kettle on a plate, put it under the stove that had been burned, and waited patiently for the kettle to be cooked.

Two hours later, Xu Hui took the kettle out of the stove, and her expression was very serious and her movements were very solemn.

After it was fired, I found that the kettle was made of fine purple pottery.

Xu Hui polished the kettle with a stone, and under Xiao Qingqing's surprised gaze, a simple kettle was ready.

Open the lid of the kettle, look at this brown-red clay kettle, and then close the lid with a crisp front sound and a long back sound.

The kettle was not big, comparable to Xu Hui's palm, and she whispered: "Master likes to drink tea, but there has never been a good teapot, give this to your father." ”

Xiao Qingqing took the kettle, and if she had found a treasure, she laughed and said, "Daddy, this is made by Aunt Xiaohui." ”

The production process has been seen, Zhang Yang looked at this kettle, there was no decoration, no lettering and imprints, and it looked very clean.

Xu Hui washed her hands by the Huaqing Pond and said with a smile: "This is the craftsmanship of Wuxing County, and the clay was also brought by the family from Jiangnan. ”

She carefully picked out the clay between her fingernails, and her hands were white again, and her nails were also white and red, and her slender palms seemed to shine in the sun.

Among Li Yue's three closed disciples, Xu Hui is the most sensible and reassuring one.

Zhang Yang nodded, feeling the texture of the kettle, "You have a heart, this clay alone is worth a lot of money." ”

"There are a lot of such clay in Wuxing County, every year in addition to pen and ink, kettle or jade, will be sent to Guanzhong or Hebei Hedong everywhere, Jiangnan Wang clan is relying on these real estate and unique water and soil to start, now Jiangnan Wang clan several are entrenched in the best land."

Speaking of Wuxing County, it is the Huzhou of later generations.

It has a typical southern climate, with hot and rainy seasons and four distinct seasons.

The water system is abundant, and it has been a rich place since ancient times since the Warring States period, and it is an important production area of silk and lake pens.

Located in the center of Jiangnan, it also creates its unique location.

Zhang Yang looked at this kettle and felt that Xu Hui was homesick.

"Aunt Xiaohui, I want one too."

"Okay, let's do another one together." Xu Hui led her towards the previous roulette wheel, and there was still a lot of clay in the basket on the side.

Zhang Yang looked at the file in his hand, and couldn't help but feel that Xu Hui spoiled this child too much, not only did the emperor spoil her, but Xu Hui and Xiao Wu at home took care of her very much.

I am indeed a little worried about what kind of character this child will develop in the future.

But it's good to think about it, my daughter has a handicraft class.

Xiao Qingqing and Xiao Hui were making pottery, and the little son was also curious to come forward to take a look.

Zhang Yang took a sip of tea and read another volume of files, which was the record of the fields provided by the Taifu Temple according to the clan.

Soil texture and nearby water sources were recorded, as well as soil fertility and irrigation requirements.

These are all arranged by Shangguan Yi, in fact, he can completely hand them over to the people in the clan.

In order to record the water and soil in more detail, these things are also done by themselves.

Gaoling's land is suitable for growing radishes and cabbage, this is the first conclusion that Shangguan Yi came to the conclusion, as for Li Xiaogong's land is not suitable for growing grapes, he will burn the land to raise the soil again in the coming year.

After reading the dossier, Zhang Yang loosened his arm, frowned and was about to continue reading, when he saw Li Zhi running over in a hurry.

This kid ran so flustered, Zhang Yang was puzzled: "His Royal Highness King Jin, are you playing a race?" ”

The younger siblings are at home, and they are quite comfortable in their spare time, and from time to time they have to go to the mountains and forests to explore, or go to the village to be the child king.

He pointed to the mountain gate and said loudly: "Sister Gaoyang Huang is going to Lantian County to beat people, saying that it is the eldest child in Lantian County who speaks ill of Lishan." ”

"Really? How many people did she bring? Zhang Yang asked.

Listening to her husband's words, let's not talk about Gao Yang's matter is somewhat excessive, just ask her how many people she brought, it is really inappropriate, Li Yue couldn't help but shake her head, for fear of helping to abuse.

Li Zhi said again: "Sister Xiaowu and Aunt Wang also went. ”

Hearing that Xiao Wu and Aunt Wang also went, Zhang Yang was a lot relieved, but a group of children quarreled.

Childhood, fights are indispensable, otherwise this childhood is so boring.

But looking at Li Yue's calm face, most of them will be punished when they come back.

Sure enough, she took a roll of paper from the room, placed it on the table, and prepared the pen and ink.

It was Li Lizhi and Xiao Wu who came back with their younger brothers and sisters, and saw that the imperial sister was already sitting by the Huaqing Pool.

Gao Yang raised her eyes and saw that the imperial sister had a serious expression, she lowered her head aggrievedly, and Qinghe, Gao Yang, Li Fu, and Li Ming also bowed their heads and were aggrieved.

Li Lizhi stepped forward to tell the matter again, saying that the children of Lantian County laughed at the men in Lishan who couldn't marry a daughter-in-law, so they would have a quarrel with them.

Zhang Yang sighed secretly in his heart, none of Li Shimin's sons and daughters are worry-free, and it is no wonder that his daughter-in-law will say that she will work harder in the future.

They used to be very obedient, but now they are two or three years older and more able to make trouble.

Auntie prepared a large bucket of food, the spatulas at home were several sizes bigger, and there were small pots and large cauldrons, Zhang Yang nodded secretly, um! It's also more edible.

Li Yue said in a deep voice: "Why do you want to bully the children of Lantian County? ”

Gao Yang said aggrievedly: "Sister Huang, we didn't bully them, it was they who spoke ill of Lishan first, and I ......"

The more he talked, the more aggrieved he became, and his voice became lower and lower.

Li Zhi sat aside as if watching a play, but he didn't participate in the children's quarrel, and was the first to come to complain.

Li Yue closed his eyes and took a deep breath, as if he was calming down his emotions, "Everyone will write my three times a day, and after eating, I will punish you to clean the workshop." ”

Gao Yang nodded aggrievedly, "Understood." ”

The children seemed to know that they were wrong, especially Dongyang, who was stunned and shed two tears.

The meal was already on the table, and Gao Yang and the others could only watch it, and they could only go to eat after writing ten times of their daily and three provinces.

Li Fu, Li Ming finished writing quickly, and hurried to the table to eat.

Gao Yang and Qinghe glanced at each other, and the two girls had a calculation in their hearts, these two traitors who went to the dinner table first.

On the contrary, Dongyang, who is usually cowardly, is very sensible, she has already finished writing, and she has not handed it in, but sits and waits for everyone to finish writing together.

When brothers and sisters work together, there will always be one or two traitors, the one who sued, Li Fu and Li Ming.

Zhang Yang was very satisfied with the punishment given by his daughter-in-law, cleaning up the workshop has always been a big problem, too tiring.

Gao Yang, Qinghe, and Dongyang also finished writing ten times, and with the permission of Li Yue, the imperial sister, they went to the table and devoured it, holding a cake in one hand and stuffing meat and vegetables in their mouths with chopsticks in the other.

The aunt advised: "Eat slowly, don't swallow." ”

Younger siblings are the most critical time to grow their bodies, usually play the most, and eat the most.

After resting for an hour after dinner, they went into the workshop to clean up.

At night, the ground in the workshop was cleaned, and the objects in the workshop were neatly placed, which looked very comfortable.

Gao Yang and the others can't swim in winter, so they can only take a hot bath in the company of the palace people.

Zhang Yang jumped into the Huaqing Pond to swim in the winter, the night was still bright, and some heavy clouds were visible to the naked eye around the moon.

"It's going to be windy tonight, and tomorrow it's either rain or snow."

Hearing the words, Zhang Yang leaned his body against the shore of Huaqing Pond, looked sideways at Li Liqing, and said in surprise: "How did you see it?" ”

Li Lizhi took two steps by the pool, raised her eyes with her hands behind her back and looked at the night sky, "In your spare time, help the imperial sister clean up the study, just take a look at the weather of my brother-in-law." ”

The volume of meteorology was indeed written by himself, and he originally thought that with the name meteorology, he could only rely on the wind direction and air humidity, or clouds to infer the weather of the coming day in Datang.

At best, it can only be regarded as some empirical talk, and it is still far from the real meteorology, so I used the name of meteorology to make a booklet, which has not yet been completed, and only a few pages are written.

Li Lizhi sat down in Huaqing Pool, "My brother-in-law's divine arm bow became a treasure in the army for a while, and many people rushed to ask for it, but the ordnance supervisor didn't have time to build it, and my father ordered them to build three thousand divine arm crossbows before spring and send them to the Western Regions." ”

Three thousand god arm crossbows? One hand, that is, three thousand archers?

According to the common battle formation in the Tang Army, 3,000 archers need at least 5,000 cavalry to charge the formation, and 30,000 or 20,000 foot soldiers are needed to fight on the plains.

Considering the climate of Persia and the Western Regions, as well as the lack of adaptation to the water and soil, the DPRK and China will definitely reduce the number of troops in the arrangement.

It is difficult to infer how many troops and horses the DPRK arranged for the aid of Persia.

"Today, Xiao Wu had a quarrel with some half-grown children in Lantian County, and seeing that she doesn't seem to want to give up, my brother-in-law thinks it's good."

Among the three disciples, Li Lizhi is the most serious, Xiao Hui is the most reassuring, and Xiao Wu is the most upright.

"With Xiao Wu's mood, most of them will not stop until those children make amends."

Zhang Yang plopped his face with cold water, listening to the words behind him, he couldn't see Li Liqian's expression and gaze, looked up at the night sky, frowned, and said: "I will let Wushi Tong go to Lantian County, and on the basis of the friendly cooperation between the two counties, let those children be punished to plant trees." ”

"Brother-in-law, don't worry, I will persuade Xiao Wu."

After that, I heard the rustling of her clothes as she got up, and the creaking of the door in the room behind me, and knew that she had gone back to the house.

Zhang Yang got up from the pool and returned to the house, changed into clean clothes, and prepared to write some materials needed to make fireworks.

The room was much warmer, his son was already asleep, and Li Yue knew at a glance that what was written was for fireworks.

Looking at the money that her husband needed to write down a thousand yuan, she was puzzled: "Did your husband use the money to make fireworks in the first place?" ”

"Not a penny spent."

What about the thousands...... Li Yue suddenly understood, and said coquettishly: "I want my father to provide materials again, and I want my father to pay for it." ”

Zhang Yang continued to write, "Your father has no plan to spend money, and if you want more from Lishan, you can let your father save some, so we will keep it and lend it to him in the future." ”

"The husband is really clever in his calculations, so that not only will he give money and things, but his father will also thank Lishan?"

Li Yue was a little dissatisfied, if his father knew about these things in the future, he was afraid that he would have to quarrel.

"I also plan to ask for more wood and stone, and let your father provide the rock and sand for burning the glaze, and some copper and iron, this is such a good thing, of course I can ask for more than I can."

This is the benefit of mastering technology, before the emperor has mastered the key technology, Lishan can ask for a sky-high price.

"It's been a long time since I've eaten dumplings."

Hearing his daughter-in-law say this, he realized that the night was dark, and it was the hour of supper, Zhang Yang put down the pen in his hand, "I'll chop meat." ”

Li Yue smiled happily, "I'll pack it." ”
