Qujiang Pool is located in the southeast corner of Chang'an City. Compared with the bustling and bustling city, it seems quiet, like a small world isolated from the city.
The little bear is swimming in the water and catching fish in the pond.
Every time it came ashore with fish in its mouth, it would just throw them on the shore without eating them.
No one has set foot here for a long time, which makes the fish in Qujiang Pond extremely plump. Even the little bear can harvest a huge fish every time he emerges from the water.
Xu Jingzong bowed and saluted, "I would like to congratulate Zhang Shangshu on the honor of winning the little princess."
The birth of his daughter seemed to have shocked the city of Chang'an. Zhang Yang said melancholy: "It's true as Wang Gui said, everyone in the government and the public knows that I have a daughter."
"I heard that the Supreme Emperor also gave the Seal of Martial Arts to the newly born little princess."
The birth of a daughter did not shock the government and the public. In the Tang Dynasty, where Li Shimin was vigorously developing population and productivity, and the Tang Dynasty was still focusing on farming and population development, it was not unusual for a family to have a child.
What shocked the government and the public was what Li Yuan had given to the little princess.
Zhang Yang stood with his hands folded, "I thought the court had not started yet, so I would like to let you all rest for some more time."
"Many of the staff from the Diplomatic Academy who returned home last year have returned. Brother Elephant is ready to meet the requests of envoys from various countries in the coming of this year." Xu Jingzong smiled a little reluctantly, "Speaking of rest and recuperation, since the envoys from various countries came to Chang'an City,
After that, some of these envoys behaved rudely, and we can’t expect them to know any etiquette. Moreover, two groups of Western Turks started fighting in the post house every now and then.”
Looking very troubled, Xu Jingzong took out a book of accounts from his sleeve and said, "This is something they broke in the post house. So far, they have to pay a total of three hundred dollars."
Zhang Yang frowned and said, "Does the Diplomatic Academy have to pay for this money?"
"The post office didn't say anything, but they still sent the accounts over. They couldn't attack these envoys."
"Pass the message and let the envoys make compensation on their own. From now on, anyone who makes trouble in the Diplomatic Academy will be imprisoned in Dali Temple and given half a month of volunteer service."
"Volunteer?"
"Just cleaning the streets for us."
Xu Jingzong nodded, "I understand, those Western Turks are really annoying. If it weren't for Zhang Shangshu's arrangements for the Western Turks, I would have thrown these people outside Chang'an City."
"What's going on over there in Liaodong?"
"The news I sent you a few days ago is that everything is going well. Ri Ui-fu is quite at home in Goguryeo. The King of Goguryeo and Yeon Gaesumun are rushing to recruit him. However, according to Da'an's letter, it is said that the conflict between the King of Goguryeo and the generals has become more serious."
Zhang Yang walked under the shade of the trees by the pool, sat with his back against a locust tree, and patted the stone pillar beside him to signal him to sit down too.
Xu Jingzong understood and sat down while rubbing his hands and smiling.
"Is there any chance for Liaodong to send a message to Li Yifu?"
Xu Jingzong looked troubled, "It's a bit difficult. If you want to enter the territory of Goguryeo, you will have to go through interrogation, especially people from Guanzhong. However, there are people in Liaodong who can speak Goguryeo. You can ask Da'an to arrange some people to pretend to be Goguryeo and sneak in."
After finishing his words, Xu Jingzong asked in confusion: "What message do you want to send to Li Yifu?"
A gust of spring breeze with a chill in it blew by, making the leaves above my head rustle, and the shadows of the trees on the ground also swayed.
Zhang Yang looked at the scenery in front of him and said, "You write a letter and ask Da'an to send someone to Li Yifu so that he can continue to make trouble in Goguryeo and set fire to both sides. In order to prevent the contents of the letter from being discovered by Goguryeo, you can write
Some characters that Goguryeo people cannot understand."
Xu Jingzong looked up at the branches of the locust tree that were still in the budding stage. After thinking for a while, he hesitated and said, "Want to write words that the Goguryeo people can't understand and that can be understood by Li Yifu?"
"So you've been thinking about it for so long just to come to such a conclusion?" Zhang Yang held his forehead in distress, thinking that this guy is pretty capable at work, but why does he seem so inept when it comes to critical matters?
"Why did Zhang Shangshu sigh?"
"I'm just tired of talking to you guys lately."
"Xiaoguan also feels this way. He can't keep up with his thoughts when talking to Zhang Shangshu. The Prince of the East Palace often says the same thing, saying that Zhang Shangshu's speech is getting more and more profound."
You ancients all lived magnanimously, was it possible that there was a game like Infernal Affairs before?
Who is better at playing Infernal Affairs or Tian Khan?
Zhang Yang feels that what he said is quite straightforward, is it very profound?
Xu Jingzong had an idea in mind, "There is a way. Nowadays, most of the literati in the Tang Dynasty use regular script, and the characters written by the Goguryeo people besides regular script also use official script. They know very little about the more ancient small seal script, so we can use it."
Written by Da Su Lai.”
"It's such a simple thing, why did you think about it for so long?"
"Zhang Shangshu is very knowledgeable, and he should read more books by sages even after he is promoted to official position."
Not knowing whether to be angry or laughing, Zhang Yang's mouth twitched, "I read books about sages because the Khan of Heaven wants me to be a good person."
"The lower officials are also good people." Xu Jingzong said with confidence and without any hint of guilt.
"Think carefully about the content of the letter. From now on, we will try to use cipher text for correspondence in the Foreign Affairs Academy. Xiaozhuan can only cope with it for a while."
Xu Jingzong whispered: "In the past, there were secret texts in the military's detailed correspondence. Is this the same in our Foreign Affairs Academy?"
Zhang Yang nodded.
Taking another breath of cold air, Xu Jingzong asked: "How to design the cipher text?"
Zhang Yang said melancholy: "I'll think about it carefully."
The two sat side by side, speechless for a while.
After a while, Xu Jingzong stood up and said, "I'll take my leave first."
Zhang Yang nodded and said: "Don't be too busy and pay attention to your health."
"I understand."
After sending Xu Jingzong away, Zhang Yang returned to the waterside pavilion in the pond.
The daughter is sitting in the stroller, holding two ribbons with her two little hands.
Xiao Wu was killing the fish that Little Bear had caught. There was another fish grilled by the stove, and Li Yue was eating one.
Aunt Wang sprinkled some salt and pepper on the grilled fish.
My wife, who has given birth to a baby, has a very strong taste recently, and she wants to make up for all the food she has not eaten in the past six months.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "My husband also has a taste of fish."
I took a piece of grilled fish from Li Yue. The grilled fish was skewered with willow branches. When I took a bite, the fish was grilled until it was crispy. There was no need to worry about whether there would be any fish bones.
The little bear walked on the shore, shook the hair on his body, shook the water away, and sat in the sun snoring.
It seems that it is tired of catching fish.
When Xiao Wujiang finished killing more than a dozen fish and placed them all by the stove for roasting, her little face frowned and she said, "I caught too many, and I can't finish them all."
Aunt Wang smiled kindly and said, "If you don't finish eating, throw it into the pond and feed it to the fish."
Feeding the fish you catch is a very simple approach just thinking about it.
But it's a little too cruel for fish.
Li Yue ate three pieces by herself. She let out a sigh of relief and pushed her baby in a stroller to walk around Qujiang Pond. She looked at the baby with a gentle look on her face and said, "We want our daughter to know this place."
It’s also our family business.”
"I'm afraid your father won't be able to redeem Lishan Mountain, but Qujiang Pool can probably be redeemed."
Li Yue tucked her long hair behind her ears and looked down at her daughter in the stroller, "I have calculated my father's current expenses. It is very difficult to make the annual surplus to meet various salary and allowances, not to mention paying back my husband's money.
Yes, and besides, this year’s court meeting with the emperor cost another two thousand guan.”
The more progress she makes in learning mathematics, the more control her daughter-in-law has over the accounts. From the news brought by her aunt, she can even deduce the financial situation of the DPRK.
She is growing faster and faster, and after giving birth to a child, she has more time to spend on studying.
It was as if she had given birth to a child and she began to make rapid progress again.
The calculation of longitude and latitude, geometric and geometric calculations, was not difficult for her at all.
His wife was getting more and more powerful. Zhang Yang chewed the fish in his mouth and thought about what he should teach his wife in the future if this continues.
There were five fish left, and Xiao Wu couldn't eat any more. She was cleaning the waterside pavilion with a small broom, "The stroller made by Master is very useful."
Zhang Yang nodded, "Actually, it's easy to build. The most important thing is that the technology must serve our family's life best."
Xiao Wu nodded, "Well, for the sake of living."
As she spoke, she threw the unfinished barbecue into the Qujiang Pond, and the fat and sluggish fish came out of the water to eat the fish meat floating on the water.
The little bear walked with Li Yue and the stroller by the pool. He was always closest to the child. Even when he took the child to the cradle in the house to rest at night, he usually couldn't enter the room and sat at the door of the house.
Always guarded.
It takes nearly half an hour to walk around Qujiang Pond. My daughter is in a good mood today, and her laughter can be heard from the stroller.
The little bear lay down next to the stroller and nudged the child with his nose.
Xiao Qingqing reached out and touched its nose and smiled even more happily.
Walking into the alley from the other end of Qujiang Pond, there are almost no pedestrians here, and there is more moss on the road than in previous years.
When I got home, I saw a eunuch standing at the door of my house.
Li Yue frowned and looked at the visitor.
The old eunuch bowed and said: "Your Royal Highness the Princess, the Marquis of the County, Your Majesty has a decree to invite the Marquis of the County and his family to the Tai Chi Hall for a banquet in the evening."
Her father had just given a decree yesterday. After having a daughter, Li Yue was a lot more wary, "It's the Lantern Festival, right?"
The old eunuch replied: "Exactly."
"That's fine." Li Yue replied: "Please report back to my father. Our whole family will go to the palace tonight."
The old eunuch smiled and left after receiving the words.
Xiao Wu and Li Yue walked into the hospital.
Zhang Yang was still standing at the door looking at the eunuch's back.
Aunt Wang said in a low voice: "Does the County Marquis have something on his mind?"
"I just think there should be a lot of people at this Lantern Festival banquet."
"After the Lantern Festival, it's time for all the princes to go back. There are indeed a lot of people tonight."
Listening to Aunt Wang's words, Zhang Yang walked into the courtyard.
Li Yue was already preparing clothes for today's banquet, so Little Bear had no choice but to stay at home and let his aunt take care of him.
Xiao Wu changed into a skirt, which made her legs look even shorter.
Li Yue held up a black robe and said, "Husband, if you wear this tonight, you will look more calm."
Counting the time, it is getting dark.
Xiao Wu scolded the little bear for a long time, and then it gave up and stared at the stroller as it left.
The aunt brought him a bowl of rice to distract the bear.
The family walked into Zhuque Gate and walked towards Chengtian Gate. After passing Chengtian Gate, they went straight to Tai Chi Hall.
The eunuch standing behind the Suzaku Gate bowed and said: "Please, Your Highness the Princess and the County Marquis go to the Lizheng Hall first."
The crowd is heading towards Tai Chi Hall.
The people attending this banquet were just some princes and nobles, including many princes from other places in the Central Plains.
Li Yue whispered: "I don't know how my brothers and sisters are doing."
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Have they solved my problem?"
The last time I saw my brothers and sisters was just before New Year's Eve. I haven't seen these children for two months.
To say that Tian Khan was not reliable in teaching his children, Zhang Yang noticed the worry on his wife's expression.
Taking care of the daughter-in-law's family, the daughter-in-law cares most about her younger brothers and sisters.
As the brother-in-law of the children, you still have to take care of them.
Zhang Yang held her hand and said, "If your father can't take care of your younger brothers and sisters, they will be sent to Lishan in the future, and I will take care of them."
Hearing this, Li Yue smiled and said, "How can I let my husband take care of me?"
Zhang Yang lamented, "Who made me their brother-in-law? The emperor doesn't care if I take care of them."
"Had it not been for so many people's persuasion, Li Zhi's marriage might have been decided."
"Your father is somewhat sloppy in handling family affairs."
"Didn't you say that my father is a pig before?"
Zhang Yang smiled awkwardly, "Is this the case?"
While they were talking, the family had already stood in front of the Zhengdian Hall.
"Sister Huang, Xiao Wu!" Li Lizhi was the first to rush forward and hugged Xiao Wu without letting go.
Li Zhi also followed behind, and he sniffed his nose. The maid on the side quickly wiped the little prince's nose.
"I caught a cold two days ago, and my nose has been running frequently recently." Li Zhi sniffed in disgust.
"Have you solved the previous questions?"
"I have been checking the classics recently. I will definitely be able to find out the reason from the classics."
In fact, the principle is very simple, because the burning of the candle's flame reduces the air in the cup. He doesn't know which book he can find such avant-garde scientific knowledge.
Li Yue walked into the palace with her child in her arms, and the couple greeted the queen together.
The queen held the child in her arms with a face full of joy. As expected, the child began to cry as soon as the stranger held him.
Little Sizi is still unsteady when walking, and her legs are very difficult to walk.
In two years' time, my child will be as old as her.
Zhang Yang directly picked up the little princess under the surprised gaze of the palace ladies, causing the palace ladies to look at the queen in panic.
The queen was holding the little princess with a smile on her face.
Zhang Yang held the tender little girl and whispered: "Mingda?"
Mingda is the name of the princess of Jin Dynasty, and the queen's nickname is Sizi.
Xiao Sizi looked at the person in front of him curiously, blinking his eyes but making no sound.
Zhang Yang hugged her and said, "Do you know that you want to call me brother-in-law?"
Hearing this, Xiao Sizi began to struggle and his eyes began to dodge.
"Call me brother-in-law." Zhang Yang slapped her face.
Facing this fierce person in front of her, little Sizi had tears in her eyes and was about to cry.
"Sister...husband..."
Xiao Sizi hesitated and blurted out.
The palace maid who was holding the wooden basin was stunned for a long time, and the wooden basin in her hand fell to the ground.
Zhang Yang finally had a smile on his face, "Scream again?"
