Zichun was tinkering with the small medicine bowl while looking back and forth at Ye Changshan with a scrutinizing gaze. She kept tinkering with the medicine selflessly, even after making several cups of tea, she still had no intention of stopping.
Ye Changshan felt very unaccustomed to seeing the fifth senior sister with one big eye and one small eye. Looking at the already shredded herbs in the bowl, he suddenly felt inexplicably pitiful about the herbs, and unconsciously hugged the little lamb in his arms tightly.
"Fifth Senior Sister...medicine...?"
"Huh? What?"
"Medicine...the medicine in your hand..."
"Medicine?" Zichun was reminded, and then he came to his senses and looked down at the medicine in his hand. At this time, the herbs in the bowl still look like they were just picked? All turned into a ball of mud.
"Oh my medicine-"
Zichun quickly poured out the medicinal herbs, put it on his palm and patted it gently. After doing her best to 'rescue', she applied these medicines to the injured leg of the lamb.
The lamb was very well-behaved and did not struggle. The treatment was completed in a short time.
Seeing that the medicinal herb had been applied, Ye Changshan placed it in front of Yiyi and said -
"For you."
Looking at the little lamb handed over, Yiyi was stunned. By the time she reacted, the lamb was already rubbing her skirt intimately and making a 'bleating' sound.
"Really? Are you going to give it to me?" Yiyi's eyes brightened.
Ye Changshan nodded. He always wanted to give Yiyi a gift, but he didn't understand rouge and gouache, and he had no money for gold and silver jewelry, so he thought about one day going to the mountains to catch a small animal and give it to her, isn't this? He happened to give her the lamb.
"Thank you, Brother Changshan!"
Seeing that Yiyi was a little happy, Ye Changshan also became happy - it seemed that the gift was not wrong after all, Yiyi did like small animals.
"Then I'll leave it to you."
Yiyi nodded vigorously, as if he regarded it as a very important task.
Feeling that the task had been completed and that standing here seemed a little redundant, Ye Changshan turned around and left, continuing to go back to school to complete the unfinished homework in the morning.
Seeing Ye Changshan leave, Zichun turned his attention to Yiyi again. Seeing Yiyi holding the little lamb in her arms and caressing her gently, Zichun asked with a half-smile -
"Just now...you went to see that giant crossbow?"
"Um!"
"looks good?"
"It's okay...Sister Zichun, what's wrong?"
"Oh, it's okay. Remember to bring this little lamb over every other day to change the dressing."
Yiyi responded to Zichun and walked towards the courtyard with the lamb in her arms. Just as he was about to walk to the door, Zichun's voice sounded again——
"So 'dark and hard' is really interesting?"
"Well, that's interesting."
"Well......"
Seeing that Zichun stopped asking, Yiyi stopped staying, leaving sister Zichun alone with the word 'gossip' written all over her face.
What if you find that stuff interesting? Then this matter is 'interesting'... Zichun left with expectation as if he had discovered some great secret.

Wang Yanqing returned to the mansion from the afternoon and walked to the big study without saying a word. He has been thinking about a question these days - who to send to Daliang. Originally, my nephew was the best candidate. He was young and strong, had good cultivation, and was also my blood relative. It would be best to leave him to him, but what my sister said was indeed correct. Now that Shao Jing has joined the school affairs office, If we keep in frequent contact with the Northern Wei Dynasty, I'm afraid...
After much thought, Wang Yanqing finally made up his mind to completely separate his nephew from these things. In this case, only this person can really take on this important task...
Wang Yanqing walked away and thought. As soon as he arrived at the door of the study, he saw the boy who was studying with him obediently standing at the door of the room. Wang Yanqing waved his hand to signal him to go away, and the boy hurriedly bowed his waist and left without raising his head.
"return!"
Wang Yanqing suddenly shouted, and upon hearing this, the boy hurriedly returned to Master Shangshu and waited for his orders.
"Go and call Old Ding to the big study room!"
"Yes Yes…..."
After receiving the order, the boy took small steps and hurriedly ran out.
After a while, there was a very rhythmic knock on the door——
'Dong dong dong——'
Then, a honest voice came from outside the door: "Master, I'm here."
"Come in."
'Squeak——'
The study door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man dressed as a servant appeared outside the large study door. The man's face was very kind, which even made people think he was a bit honest. His gentle but unflattering smile always hung on his face, making it hard for people to find fault with him.
"Master, are you calling me?"
"Well, come in and talk." Wang Yanqing motioned for the man to walk into the house, and then said to the boy at the door: "Go out, close the door, and guard the door of the yard. No matter who comes, keep them out. !”
"Yes Yes..."
The boy hurriedly left, closed the door tightly, and stood guard at the entrance of the courtyard.
Guessing that the boy had gone far, Wang Yanqing turned to the middle-aged man and motioned for him to sit down: "Come, sit down and talk."
Butler Ding nodded, took a stool from the side and placed it in front of the desk. After Wang Yanqing sat down, he sat down carefully.
After seeing Lao Ding sit down, Wang Yanqing said with an easy-going smile: "How is your old mother at home?"
"Thanks to the master, my mother at home is doing very well."
"Where are your brothers?"
"Returning to me, my brothers at home are doing well now. Thanks to my kindness, the grandpa in the county has always taken good care of them, so they can't suffer any loss."
Wang Yanqing smiled and nodded, then he thought for a moment and then asked, "How old is your son?"
"Sir, Quanzi is eight years old this year."
"At eight years old... he is almost old enough to go to school. Let's find a good teacher for him someday. If he is good enough to study in the future, I will let him enter Fenghao Academy."
"The master is so kind and kind, I will never forget it!"
After saying that, Butler Ding stood up from the stool excitedly, walked back to the table and knelt down.
"Hey, get up." Looking at Butler Ding who was crying with gratitude, Wang Yanqing raised his hand slightly. After Old Ding returned to the stool, he continued: "I have sent someone to deliver some silver to your home. If there is not enough, just come to me."
"Master, you are really the villain's reborn parent!"
"Haha, don't talk about this anymore. Your father is the old man in the house. To put it into detail, he is kind to my Wang family. Of course, these small things are nothing."
Butler Ding stood aside respectfully and did not reply, just nodded.
Seeing that Lao Ding looked at a loss, Wang Yanqing smiled and dismissed the matter and said, "Let's talk about business."
"Master, please give your orders."
Seeing Wang Yanqing talking about business, Butler Ding unconsciously leaned forward slightly and leaned toward his ear.
"I want you to go to Daliang."
"When will you leave?"
"Go tonight, remember! If anyone asks you, just say that I allowed you to go home to visit your old mother."
"The villain remembers it."
Wang Yanqing stood up, opened an extremely humble wooden box on the bookcase, took out a special iron plate and a letter, and then handed it to Butler Ding.
Butler Ding stood up and took it. He didn't ask any questions, but carefully put it into his arms and placed it safely.
"Take this iron plate, go to Daliang, find a cloth shop called 'Xingqing', and say to the shopkeeper, 'I am a businessman from the west. I need good jade. Is there any shop that has it?'" The shopkeeper replies to you, 'My home is a cloth shop, how can I sell jade?' At this time, you take out this iron plate, and the shopkeeper will take you to the inner room."
Butler Ding recited these two sentences silently several times and nodded to indicate that he had memorized them firmly.
"In less than half a day, the shopkeeper will bring over the person you need to see. At that time, you will tell him this..."
Having said this, Butler Ding put his ear forward, and Wang Yanqing whispered a few instructions in his ear.
"The villain knows it, and the villain will go and prepare now."
After listening to Wang Yanqing's instructions, Butler Ding did not show any expression, but calmly withdrew his body.
"Go ahead. This trip to Daliang is a long way, so you have to be more careful on the way."
"Yes, I will remember your master's instructions."
After saying that, Butler Ding stepped back and walked out the door.
"etc!"
Wang Yanqing suddenly called out to Lao Ding. Butler Ding slowly turned around and bowed respectfully, waiting for Wang Yanqing's question. Wang Yanqing stood up from the desk, walked to Butler Ding, and asked, "Commander Pan, have you contacted him?"
When mentioning this matter, Wang Yanqing's voice suddenly became much lower, making it even more confidential in such a private space.
"If you want to get back to me, Sir, Commander Pan has already contacted you."
"Oh? Is he interested?"
"No one can refuse this kind of temptation."
"Does he know you are mine?"
"My Lord didn't give orders, so I didn't reveal it. That day when we met Commander Pan and the villain were separated by a barrier, the villain only said, 'Do you want Commander Pan to have an opportunity to join the Privy Council?'"
"Oh? Then how did he answer."
"Commander Pan did not answer the villain directly, but first asked who the villain was."
"Oh? This Pan Jiachang can actually touch up the pole." Wang Yanqing suddenly felt funny.
"The villain was silent, and Commander Pan knew what the villain meant, so he didn't go into details. After the villain explained the matter, we both left.
"Well, well done"
"The villain resigns"
Lao Ding exited the study and carefully closed the door.
Long after Lao Ding left, Wang Yanqing was still standing at the table and did not sit down for a long time. He was still thinking about the incident he just mentioned - that incident was so important that even someone as powerful as him had to be cautious and walk on thin ice.
At this time, he was even a little nervous, and there was a faint chill on his back.
He hasn't been so nervous for a long time. Even the 'Six Kings Rebellion', even the secret messages with the Northern Wei Dynasty over the years, and even today's sending Lao Ding to the Northern Wei Dynasty... these are not enough to make him nervous, only this The incident made him a little uneasy, because it touched a place he should never touch - the Privy Council!
The Privy Council is the highest military institution in the New Tang Dynasty. It has twelve rooms and is jointly managed by two deputies of the Privy Council. There is no envoy. All military affairs are decided by the person on the throne. In fact, the two deputy envoys have no actual power. One of them is usually held by the prince of the current dynasty to learn how to control the army, and the other is held by a veteran general who has retired from the army and is responsible for consulting military affairs, giving opinions and teaching. Prince. Among the twelve rooms of the Privy Council, the "Zai Jing Room" has the greatest power and the highest status. It is in charge of the guards in Chang'an and nearby areas. It also oversees and coordinates the affairs of the generals in various places and the other eleven rooms. In other words, although there are two deputy envoys in the Privy Council, all major and minor affairs must be directed by the "Beijing Fang", and the exercise of power lies here——
"General Shence" Chang Zhishan has been holding this important position since he returned to Chang'an.
Originally, as a civil servant, Wang Yanqing would never dare to get involved in the Privy Council. This was an established rule and a thunder pit. However, Emperor Tang's health was deteriorating day by day. How could he not consider the matters behind Emperor Tang's death? ?
[Happy weekend, I finally have a day off, I’m happy. 】
