It’s not that Cui Yingying doesn’t like modern clothes, it’s just that she can’t wear them.
People in the Tang Dynasty were not as conservative as in the Ming Dynasty. Wearing beautiful clothes and showing off the beauty of the body was not a taboo in the Tang Dynasty. Of course, miniskirts, suspenders and the like were still too scary for Cui Yingying.
Fortunately, it is autumn in China at this time. The weather is slowly getting cooler, so naturally I have more clothes on my body.
It was normal to be watched, and Li Yuanxing did not let Cui Yingying deliberately conceal her identity.
With maids, two of them, and bodyguards, there are ten male and female bodyguards in total.
There are also two girls, who are not very old. I heard that they are also maids, but their status is higher. One is Li Yuanxing's maid, and the other is Li Lanshan's maid. They are also served by low-level maids.
For modern society that advocates equality for all, this inequality brings more than just an impact.
Some people are even a little envious.
Li Lanshan did not return to the island, but accompanied Sun Laodao and others to Huaxia University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Following up, Xiao Hou couldn't help it any longer and asked Li Lanshan: "Sister-in-law, my brother Xing is not going too far. If you show the pedigree of an ancient prince in modern society, what will the news say?"
"You can say whatever you want about love." Li Lanshan didn't care at all.
"This, was it really good in ancient times?" Xiaohou asked again.
Li Lanshan did not answer this question. Whether it is good or not depends on you. If you think it is good, it is good. If you think it is bad, it is bad.
At least Li Yuanxing preferred to be in modern times, thinking of this. Li Lanshan suddenly smiled and said to Xiao Hou: "Li Yuanxing said that the monogamy system in modern society is to protect men."
"Nonsense!" Xiaohou couldn't believe it.
"Believe it or not." Li Lanshan had this attitude again and refused to explain to Xiao Hou at all.
On the other side, Cui Yingying entered university without any deliberately chosen major. Instead, she listened to some courses on natural sciences, world geography, and humanities. Mainly to increase her knowledge.
During class, a special space was set aside in the classroom for Cui Yingying and others.
The guards did not follow him all the time. Only two female guards entered the class together, and the maids listened to the class together in the name of students.
Cui Yingying is also taking notes and has learned to use a pen.
After Cui Yingying had been attending classes here for three or four days, when the morning class was about to end at noon, a girl suddenly came to Cui Yingying holding a stack of paper.
There was no malicious contact, and the guard did not stop it. Only Cui Yingying's maid blocked it.
"I don't mean any harm, I just saw that your handwriting is beautiful and I want to ask you to write a handwriting! I bought the best paper and the best brush." This is to ask for handwriting.
Cui Yingying nodded slightly and the maid stepped aside.
"What should I write about?" Cui Yingying asked.
"A poem, or words will do." The girl's face was filled with anticipation.
It is too easy to write a set of characters. The maid was responsible for grinding the ink, and it only took a few minutes for Cui Yingying to write a set of characters.
Such characters are commonplace in modern times.
Li Yuanxing asked Cui Yingying to go to school. The idea was to tell modern people not to think that women in ancient times were just flower vases. They didn't understand anything except caring for their husbands and raising children. In fact, women in the Tang Dynasty were very talented.
Shangguan Wan'er as known to later generations was just a person. In fact, the Tang Dynasty had a studious ethos, which allowed the nobles of the Tang Dynasty to have talents that surpassed ordinary people.
What Li Yuanxing wants to do is to let China regain its national pride.
Powerful technology does not represent national pride, it is just a kind of pride of the Chinese people.
After taking the printed words from Cui Yingying, the girl thanked her profusely: "Thank you very much. I want to treat you to dinner. I know it's not convenient for you to leave casually. I have already ordered the food and will deliver it to us."
Cui Yingying smiled but still refused. She was not suitable here yet.
The girl tentatively asked again: "I heard that you are also a princess?" After asking, she immediately waved her hands anxiously: "I'm just curious. If you don't feel comfortable answering, you don't have to answer me."
"I am just a concubine, one of the seven wives of King Qin. Princess Lanyue is the princess!" Cui Yingying made an explanation.
The question of how many women Li Yuanxing owned, and how many women he owned legally, instantly became an interesting topic. Some feminist organizations even believed that this was a great disrespect for women.
Times are different and ideas are different.
There were too many reporters who wanted to get close to Li Yuanxing, and they had countless questions to ask. But Li Yuanxing had no intention of giving the reporters any chance.
When Li Lanshan stayed in China for about a month and a half, the small island suddenly changed from very clear to blurry.
Datang!
According to the calculation of one and a half months, nine months have passed since Li Yuanxing left Datang.
When I came back this time, Li Mo and several other older children were already seven years old. They could recognize more than 2,000 Chinese characters and could memorize hundreds of poems. Li Mo had already finished studying the first volume of the Analects of Confucius.
The first time he arrived at Li Yuanxing, he rushed to recite the Analects of Confucius that he had memorized in front of Li Yuanxing.
Li Yuanxing listened carefully, and just listened.
Because Li Yuanxing could not recite the Analects of Confucius, he had no idea whether what Li Mo recited was right or wrong.
After Li Mo finished reciting the Analects, Li Ai was very unhappy because he was a step late. He should have planned to recite the Analects.
"Knowledge is used to make people smarter. To be able to memorize, you must also be able to understand." Li Yuanxing gave Li Ai a step, and Li Ai immediately rushed to explain the part that he could memorize.
Although they can only see him for two months a year, these little guys know that this is their father.
Two months is already very lucky. In the palace, the daughters and sons born to ordinary concubines of the Holy Emperor can see the Emperor of Tang Dynasty for only ten days in a year.
But Li Yuanxing actually stayed with them for two months.
Whether they are the children of the Seventh Lady or the children of the maids, they are the same in Li Yuanxing's eyes.
But when he counted these little guys, Li Yuanxing found that the number was wrong, there were several missing. The ones not here were Li Suo, a son and a daughter born by his mother's maid, and his sister who had the same mother.
"Li Suo hasn't arrived yet. When he arrives, my father will give you gifts, okay?"
"Father, Li Suo is not coming." Li Mo said.
Li Yuanxing was stunned for a moment, thinking that something had happened. How could no one tell him about such a big event?
When asked, Li Mo said: "Father, a month ago, Li Suo's uncle and Li Ke's brother encountered some small troubles. The Daibei family seized the port that originally belonged to them, and they fought a war at sea.
There was a fight, and I heard that more than a dozen ships were sunk. Both sides sent people to Chang'an to ask for explanations, but there seems to be still fighting in the sea over there."
If a child's words don't lie, then it's really a war.
Li Yuanxing stayed with these little guys for another hour, symbolically tested their knowledge, and then distributed gifts.
Back in the house, Li Yuanxing called Zheng He: "Take all the information sent to you and check why there is a war with Li Suo on the sea west of Tianzhu."
"Your Highness, this is an important case. It was placed separately on top. It was originally said that it would be presented to you tomorrow."
"Tell me!" Li Yuanxing leaned on the soft chair and motioned to Zheng He to tell him what he knew.
"Your Highness, this matter actually has nothing to do with the Prince of Qin's Palace. This is an issue between King Mi Zhen and King Wu. Initially, King Mi Zhen was in Hong Kong to grab business, so people from the palace tampered with King Wu's goods. Exclusive work
Tianzhu's business, but when King Wu asked for the goods back, the big merchants at the port there had bought enough and left. None of the small merchants could eat so much, so the price was not lost, but time was wasted.
A month or two."
Li Yuanxing was not surprised that he acted for financial gain.
This King Mi Zhen is his younger brother, named Li Yuanxiao. His mother is from the Lu family, but has an alliance with the Yuwen family.
Zheng He continued: "His Royal Highness King Wu was not happy, and the Xiao family was not happy either. So they directly seized four ships of King Mi Zhen at sea, and then transferred enough goods to the port originally occupied by King Mi Zhen.
The needs of some merchants were filled, and as a result, the goods of King Mi Zhen were pledged."
Li Yuanxing smiled and shook his head after hearing this.
The merchants of Datang already understand the liquidity of funds. If a shipment is shipped every two months, the income will definitely be higher than if a shipment is shipped every four months.
"Your Highness, both sides went to war, and the losses were not small. King Mi Zhen was bigger, and five of his ships sank. King Wu also had two ships sink, and dozens of people died. King Mi Zhen invited help from the Yuwen family, so...
…”
Zheng He did not dare to say anything further. This was a royal battle.
There was no need for Zheng He to say anything further, and Li Yuanxing already understood it completely.
"So, Li Suo can't come out because the sea route is unsafe. Moreover, his uncle may have helped that boy Li Ke to do it. It is estimated that there will be more than one fight, otherwise there would not be more than a dozen ships sunk."
"Returning to your highness, your highness guessed wrong this time. No matter how courageous King Mi Zhen is, he will not dare to attack the ship of Prince Qin." Zheng He's words are more straightforward. Li Mo is not on the ship, and the ship can be a family ship.
Yes, but Li Mo is on the boat and belongs to the Prince of Qin's palace, so the nature is different.
"Could it be?" Li Yuanxing thought, there are still enemies.
"Your Highness, this little fight is not dangerous. But three months ago, there was a battle that was not a small one. The historian recorded that the nine kings went on an expedition. The nine princes gathered 300 warships and swept the
To the west of Tianzhu, all the ports were controlled by the Great Cannibals, and they were driven back to their hometown."
Did the Tang Dynasty go to war against Dashi? Li Yuanxing thought it was so urgent.
"Then, the Great Eaters counterattacked on land. Six more families joined in to deal with the Great Eaters, including the King of England."
Starting a war for profit, Li Yuanxing was very interested in why the princes of these fiefdoms were allowed to join forces to deal with the cannibals.
