Chapter 14 The Beginning of All Sounds (3)
When Zheng saw this scene, he laughed out loud, and the worry and suspicion that he had in his heart suddenly disappeared. "Forget it, I'm really thinking too much."
When Zi saw what Nan Zi meant, Xie Changyan asked Feng Xiaoya in person after he arrived at the study.
Feng Xiaoya raised her eyebrows and said, "Is this among the three questions?"
"No, that's an extra."
"Then I won't answer."
Xie Changyan glared. But when Feng Xiaoya looked cold, she didn't dare to bother her, so she had to put the monk's ornaments that had been dismantled and hit the bell and put it in front of him.
"I saw that this is similar to the water armpit meter. It uses a leak-shaped pot to drive it through gears, so that the monk can swing his arms and rings the bell at the right time. But, the hourglass it uses is not sand, but this strange little bead. What is this?"
Xie Changyan refers to a kind of metal particles as small as sand, with heavy weight, held on the palm of his hand and kept rolling.
“小.”
Xie Changyan said "ah" and was surprised: "Is this the secret of Cheng Guo's untold secret? It is said that weapons made of this material are a hundred times stronger than iron tools!"
Only the earth is the best, Yan Bi is suitable for the journey to divide the world into four parts.
Among them, Yan prevails its strength, and the country is the most powerful; Bi prevails its vastness; it is suitable to prevail its wealth; only Cheng country is a small island country, but it can compete with the Three Kingdoms because of its powerful weapons.
Zuoyan is the most famous iron smelting material in Chengguo. How it is extracted and extracted is still a mystery.
"It is not only strong, but also very smooth. Use it to leak and will not be blocked." Feng Xiaoya added.
Xie Changyan looked at the small bead in his hand and sighed deeply: "There is only such a good thing, but Cheng Guo has it, and they are just using it for weapons, which is a waste of resources."
Feng Xiaoya's eyes changed, as if touched. He lowered his eyes slightly to look at his right sleeve, and then slowly covered his left hand on his right sleeve. "Not bad."
Xie Changyan did not notice his change and continued to say with great enthusiasm: "By the way, I also saw the signature of "Kongshu Frog" on the sole of the monk's left foot. Who is this Gongshu Frog?"
"After Lu Ban, he now lives in Yujing."
Xie Changyan was overjoyed: "Lu Ban's descendants? No wonder they did it so vividly. All of them were done by him?"
"It's them." Feng Xiaoya corrected, "A group of people. In order to encourage the invention, His Majesty set up classes and gave them names to Luguan. Gongshuf is the teacher inside, and he has made these exquisite things with his disciples."
"Can I go and see?"
"Yes, I'll be my life tomorrow..."
Xie Changyan responded: "Is it right? Are you going to be busy again?"
Feng Xiaoya nodded.
"Then I want to change someone. Meng Buli is too bored. He said eight words a day yesterday. Can you change more?"
Feng Xiaoya agreed readily. "There is another question."
"The third question..." Xie Changyan put away the ornaments, sat upright, stared at him, and said word by word, "Senior brother is satisfied with my actions yesterday?"
Feng Xiaoya was stunned for a moment and looked back at her. The two of them had intertwined their eyes and the study was quiet.
After a long time, Feng Xiaoya spoke: "I'm not a temptation, you've thought too much."
"Yeah?"
Feng Xiaoya stood up and walked to the west window. Looking out from this window, she could see Shi Yin tied in front of the main house yard from afar. There were many changes in his eyes, but because his back was facing Xie Changyan, Xie Changyan could not see it.
However, even if she saw it, she wouldn't understand.
"I said that since it is a skill, don't waste it. It just so happens that Your Majesty has a good horse that suits you, and Wan Yulin is the closest horse racing place to be here. It's a coincidence that you will meet Huiwei there."
Xie Changyan grabbed a point keenly: "You are very familiar with the princess? Why do you call him the name directly?"
Feng Xiaoya was stunned for a moment, sighed and turned around: "You are thinking too much."
Xie Changyan snorted lightly: "It's a coincidence. You are my senior brother. If you want to take the test, please speak frankly so that I can prepare. If I make a fool of myself, there will be no glory on your face."
"Yes." Feng Xiaoya responded.
Xie Changyan was a little surprised when he was so easy to talk to. This person has a weird personality and is unpredictable.
Xie Changyan couldn't help but tilted his head and glanced at him for a long time.
Feng Xiaoya thought for a while and said, "But you should still ask Huiwei...uh, Princess, for advice. Her riding skills are really good, and she can be called the best in the capital."
"Hello, or is she a senior brother?"
Feng Xiaoya raised her eyebrows.
"Or it is, she is the best among women, so what if she compares with men?"
Feng Xiaoya narrowed her eyes and said leisurely: "You... are very ambitious."
"Senior brother asked me to ask Princess Huiwei for advice. If the purpose is to make me diligent riding skills, why don't I just find a more powerful male rider to learn?" Xie Changyan pressed step by step, "Unless, senior brother has other intentions."
Feng Xiaoya raised her hand and surrendered: "Forget it, pretend I didn't say it."
Xie Changyan pursed his lips and smiled, then sighed: "However, I offended Princess Huiwei, and I am afraid I will be excluded by those daughters in the future."
Feng Xiaoya pondered for a while and said, "Tomorrow, you will see someone again."
"who?"
"A person who can take you to the Yujing Guizhou Guizhou circle to play." When Feng Xiaoya said this, the corner of her lips pulled out a curve, her smiled mysteriously and inexplicably strange.
Xie Changyan understood why he smiled so much the next day.
The next day, the person who replaced Meng Buli to come to Zhizhiju to pick her up was Ruyi.
Ruyi sat on the shaft of the car, looking reluctant. When she saw Xie Changyan, she was even more dissatisfied and said, "You called me to accompany you to ask Luguan?"
Xie Changyan burst into laughter.
"What are you laughing at? Are you proud to enslave me?"
"What I told my senior brother was to find someone who talked a lot, but I didn't expect that he could work for your father-in-law."
"Talk too much?" Ruyi widened her eyes in anger, "Where am I talking too much? Okay, I won't talk from now on! You quickly change Meng Buli back. I'm very busy, but I don't have time to accompany you everywhere. And my Majesty is indispensable..."
Xie Changyan reminded him: "Aren't you talking or not?"
"You!" Ru was so angry that she bulged her cheeks and stopped talking.
He looked so cute, and so angry, he looked particularly agile. Therefore, Xie Changyan couldn't hate him either, so he immediately opened the car door and prepared to get in the car with a smile.
But I was shocked - there was actually someone in the car!
Ruyi suddenly burst into laughter: "I didn't expect it? I just said you would be surprised!"
"It is not conducive to traveling, so I failed to get off the car to see you. I hope Miss Xie will not blame me." The person in the car sat down and bowed, then raised his head and smiled slightly at Xie Changyan.
This person is about the early twenties, with a high bun, and a decent appearance. Although he is not very beautiful, he has a high temperament.
Ruyi winked and said, "Call me, my sister-in-law."
"well?"
"She is the third concubine of He Gong, whose surname is Shang and whose name is Qingque, is the daughter of Shang Taifu in the previous dynasty."
Xie Changyan recalled Feng Xiaoya's smile yesterday at this moment, and finally understood where the strangeness came from. It turned out that the person he said who could take her to the noble circle to play was his concubine!
The Shang family was a family of Yan. During the reign of Emperor Shang, Shang Lian, the father of Shang Qingque, was even more in power as the Grand Tutor. As Emperor Shang retired, Shang Lian retired and retired. However, there were many branches in the Shang family who remained in the court as officials, which should not be underestimated.
As the legitimate daughter, Shang Qingque was originally full of glory. Unfortunately, her fate was as illegitimate as Zheng's family, or even worse. She married the second son of the Pang family. Shortly after marriage, her husband died in an accident and his infant son died. Her husband's family was suppressed and exiled as King Yan ascended the throne. Shang Qingque had to return to her parents' home and stayed in the door from now on. Unexpectedly, one winter day, she fell in front of the house and lame her left foot. It was so bad that it was really touching.
But maybe it was a great opportunity. Shang Qingque met Feng Xiaoya when he went to the temple to eat incense. Three days later, Feng Xiaoya sent someone to propose marriage. After several twists and turns, she married him and became his third concubine.
When Xie Huaiyong told Xie Changyan this story, he naturally did not talk about Feng Xiaoya, but only said lightly, "The legitimate daughter of a business family was lame and then married as a concubine."
Now, Xie Changyan stared at the beautiful woman in the car, feeling that life was mysterious. The names he heard of back then appeared one by one in front of him.
Shang Qingque reached out his hand intimately and pulled her into the carriage: "It's hot outside, get in the car quickly. It's not too early, let's set off."
Ruyi took out a box of balm from her arms and applied it to her soft little hand, put on her golden gloves again, then picked up the horse whip and started driving.
When Xie Changyan saw this scene from the curtain of the car, his lips couldn't help but rise. What was the senior brother thinking? He actually sent Ruyi to drive her and asked his concubine to play with her.
She couldn't help but look at Shang Qingque secretly. Shang Qingque caught her gaze and smiled and said, "Yujing is dry and hot, are you still used to it when you come?"
"It's great. When I wake up in the morning, I don't have fog. It looks so bright and it makes me feel so comfortable. And I know that there are so many trees in Curie, so I don't feel hot."
"Zhi Zhiju was the outer palace when His Majesty was the crown prince, so he was arranged with great care."
Xie Changyan was slightly surprised - that is to say, she lives in the place where Zhanghua has lived now? The books His Majesty has read, the pens he has used, the couch he has slept with... Oh, stop! Don’t think about it!
Seeing her cheeks flushed, Shang Qingque smiled more and more meaningfully: "Your Majesty is very attentive to the girl, and the girl will know it slowly."
"Ah, let's talk about senior brother!" For some reason, Xie Changyan didn't want to talk about Zhanghua at all, so he quickly changed the topic, "Is senior brother really that busy?"
Shang Qingque's expression changed slightly, and it became a little unnatural.
"He is a white-clothed person, and he is not an official and does not do anything. What are he doing?"
Shang Qingque pondered for a while before saying, "My husband recently married a new sister."
Xie Changyan choked and became embarrassed in an instant.
The carriage was moving forward and the tassels on the curtain swayed.
