Du Che calculated that about two-quarters of an hour later, Xiao Ruoyuan and Liu Bu returned to the Hidden Sword Hall. He just shook the ruler and compass in his hand. The two men were like sharks in the sea smelling blood. They immediately sat down to the big eucalyptus and pressed the button. Using the parts he separated, he performed calculations and deductions.
Li Daozong looked at Gongsun Bai and asked in surprise: "They just came back from the Shaofu Prison, don't they need to rest for a while?"
They rushed back to Chang'an with a certain person, and when they returned to Prince Teng's Mansion, they were more than half an hour late. Looking at the little brother's condition, we can tell that their level of hard work should be about the same.
Is it really good to be so busy?
Gongsun Bai shook his head, picked up the tea cup, and sighed faintly: "No need, they will be restless when they see that ruler and compass map, unless all the calculations, verifications and deductions are completed."
Those young apprentices can no longer be transferred to Chang'an... Prince Teng's side, except for Xiao Shiqi who follows Princess Jinyang as a guard... "Hey, where is Sanlang?"
"He thought those people's method of removing stones was too dangerous, so he stayed there to teach the craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry how to select land, how to remove stones, and how to backfill to ensure that the hillside would not slide when it rained heavily." Xiao Ruoyuan waved his hand and said.
Gongsun Bai lowered his head feebly, "Very good, six apprentices have come, and five of them are very busy and happy." Don't say that sending Wei Gui to find someone was unintentional. I have been in Chang'an for almost two months. Others dare not say that King Teng never did anything unintentional. I am very sure.
It is conceivable that Wei Sanyang will continue to build the road, looking for mineral deposits or herbs while building the roadside, and at the same time determine the most suitable location for the inn... I wonder if I will be able to see him once a year in the future?
Li Daozong looked at the busy trio, and someone seemed to understand something... A gentleman should keep his mouth shut, and someone is a gentleman.
The Zangjian Hall fell into a strange silence, with only the "rustling" sound of the charcoal pen tip scratching the bamboo paper and the "gudugudu" sound of boiling water...
...Xia Gua looked at the details, walked to Li Daozong, and asked softly: "Prince, when will you have dinner?"
It's already the second quarter of the first lunar month. If there is any further delay, Prince Jiangxia will have no choice but to stay in the palace. Someone will be sent to fetch the clothes for the official appointment tomorrow.
Ouyang Gong and Yu Gong don't need it. They are basically semi-settled in the house. They can just tell Xiaoxue to eat whenever they want. The kitchen has someone on duty and is on call for twelve hours.
Li Daozong glanced at Gongsun Bai, who was in a particularly depressed mood, stood up, and said softly: "I'm not eating at the mansion, so go back now, and take good care of Prince Teng."
Sun Gong did not come back after he left. At this time, eating would be a mess. I still have some discernment in this regard.
"Mr. Gongsun, Prince Teng's safety depends on you."
"Don't worry, Prince, I will definitely go all out." Gongsun Bai stood up, crossed his hands and saluted, and replied softly.
Li Daozong nodded slightly and walked out the door. It was so busy here. Tomorrow I would like to go to various workshops to see if anyone was lazy or irresponsible and would be kicked out directly.
His Majesty arranged for someone to come to the Ministry of Industry, so naturally he wanted to push forward the construction progress of the road with all his strength... With the golden silk sacrificial utensils, there will be much less resistance from various aristocratic families.
"I went to visit Gao Shilian."
"Wei." Xia Gua responded softly, whispered a few words to the people around her, and then walked forward to lead the way. Manzhong and Dongguo followed the prince back to Fenghe Garden, and arranged for the maid to lead the way, which was inappropriate.
However, Qu Sanniang is making trouble again. I wonder how Your Majesty will deal with her? I hope she won't stay in the house. Her eyes are so restless and she can cause trouble easily.
The arrangements for Huliang Garden were not high-ranking maids and principals, but Gesi medicines sent from the palace. They were afraid that they would damage the herbs there if they did not know how to arrange them randomly.
When Li Daozong saw the door and courtyard wall of Huliang Garden, he raised his eyebrows slightly: "It looks very rural and wild. There are roses and honeysuckle (honeysuckle) climbing on the yellow mud wall. The roses have bloomed a lot, and the honeysuckle has just sprouted. The honeysuckle will bloom in half a month, and Nanyuan is sweet and fragrant. It is really a good place to rest.
"Prince, Prime Minister Gao has just finished his dinner and is taking a walk in the garden." Ge Siyao is not bright and handsome, looks very bookish, and speaks in a neither high nor low tone, which is very pleasant to the ear.
Li Daozong nodded slightly, as long as he didn't fall asleep. Your Majesty... I miss him, the queen's uncle, very much. Walking into Huliang Garden, I saw that the roads were paved with bluestone slabs. Instead of sparse flowers and trees, there were medicinal fields on both sides of the road. Only a piece of green bamboo in the distance to the west: I deeply suspected that Gao Shilian was deliberately pretending to be ill. In order to stay here and cultivate.
"Chengfan, why didn't you go to Luoyang with His Majesty?" Gao Jian was leaning on a bamboo stick and wearing a loose and comfortable Taoist robe. His hair was spread behind him, with only a silver and gold crown on his head. He looked like a celebrity from the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
Li Daozong looked at Gao Jian with great envy and said with a smile: "When I finish my work, I will come here to stay for ten days. Look at your complexion, I am really envious of others."
I don’t know what your Majesty is thinking? When talking to someone, he was worried, as if Gao Shilian was about to burp when he followed. Except for leaning on a bamboo stick, I didn't see anything wrong.
"You can't finish your work. If you want to rest, take a break. Your Majesty is not a strict person." Gao Jian pointed to the thatched bamboo pavilion aside and said with a smile. "Let's go there and have two cups of tea. We don't have to worry about the curfew. Hang up the sign of Prince Teng's Mansion and no one will check you."
The following words were filled with disdain and ridicule.
Li Daozong's eyes were slightly cold. This old man had nothing to hold back... maybe that was the real reason for His Majesty's worry. I walked to the Bamboo Pavilion and looked at the medicinal field. I found that Polygonatum was planted around me. The small white flowers were swaying in the wind. It was so beautiful! This is a treasure for fast marching! He looked at Xia Gua, who was busy at the side, and said with a smile: "You go back to the Hidden Sword Garden to do your work. I and Gao Xiang chatted for a few words and then went back..."
When he saw the person at the door, he raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said with a smile: "Pei Chengxian is here already, so you don't need to work. Quickly put down the tea cup and go do whatever you need to do."
Pei Ji has delicate features and handsome appearance. He is deeply trusted by his father. His son becomes a princess and his daughter becomes a princess... equivalent to... even better than Fang Qiao beside His Majesty. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is obedient and obedient. He is only called "Pei Jian". Never call him by his first name.
As for the ending, I can only say that friends should not be promiscuous, and domestic slaves should be more careful. Villains seeking profit cannot be trusted.
Xia Gua put down the teacup, bowed Yingying, and said with a smile: "Thank you so much, Prince. I will go and prepare the hot pot order, base ingredients, and dipping sauce."
After listening to Xia Gua's words, Li Daozong clapped his legs and laughed and said: "What a good girl, you are indeed a talent trained by Queen Wende. When King Teng allows you to leave the cabinet, I will choose with him and I will definitely choose a good husband for you."
Xia Gua's face turned red, she bowed again, took three steps back, turned and left the bamboo pavilion.
When Gao Jian heard about Queen Wende, his face darkened, he picked up the tea cup, drank tea to cover up, then looked at Li Daozong and asked: "Chengfan, what do you think about the road construction in Yunhe Mansion?"
Li Daozong: "..."
You really have no good intentions.
