During dinner in the evening, Xiao Han staggered into the dining room, followed closely by Xue Pan.
However, Xue Pan, who always looks happy on weekdays, is a little strange today. There seems to be an indescribable shyness on his face?
Xiao Han sat down on the chair in the dining room and glanced at Xue Pan triumphantly, hey, a woman fights a man? Can you still take advantage?
Xiao Lian came in from outside, waited on Xiao Han and washed his hands before retreating with a blushing face.
Xiao Lian heard the two of them having fun just now. How could she not think of anything else after being in the land of fireworks for a long time? Only Li Shentong sat arrogantly at the dinner table, fiddling with his chopsticks, snorting a few times from his nostrils, and looking at Xiao Han as if to demonstrate.
"Eh? Sister Xue Pan, why is your face so red? Are you sick?"
Finally, the wide-eyed Li Shentong noticed something was wrong with Xue Pan, and couldn't help but ask with wide eyes.
When Li Shentong asked this question, two red clouds instantly rose on Xue Pan's face!
The place on his body that Xiao Han had just touched intentionally or unintentionally seemed to be getting hot again!
"No...no! I'm not hungry, you can eat first..."
After saying something in a panic, Xue Pan covered his face and ran away, leaving only Xiao Han with a smirk on his face and Li Shentong who didn't know why.
"Hey? Sister Xue Pan?!"
No matter how smart Li Shentong is, he is still a child after all, and his family is very strict with him. How can he understand the things between men and women? He stared wide-eyed and was about to ask again when he was hit on the head by Leng Buding.
"Ouch, who's going to hit me!" Li Shentong rubbed his head and turned around angrily.
"Little brat! What the hell do you know? Hurry up and eat!" Xiao Han, who was sitting on the side, rubbed his hands and scolded with a sly smile! He was very happy now. Although he was pinched a few times, he still made a lot of money compared to the advantage he took!
However, Li Shentong was not happy at all. He was hit again for no reason, which made him furious. He stood up and screamed: "I am not a little kid!"
"Oh?" Xiao Han raised his eyelids when he heard this, and when he saw Li Shentong's teeth and claws, he added slowly and politely: "Little brat!"
"Ahem..."
At that moment, Li Shentong's angry little face almost turned purple! Slap the chopsticks on the table!
"...Hmph! I won't eat it!"
"If you don't want to eat, don't eat. It saves food for others! Just don't look for something to eat like a mouse when you're hungry at night!" Xiao Han threw a bean into his mouth and looked at Li Shentong jokingly. For some reason, He especially likes to tease this little guy recently.
Of course, this is only at home. As for taking Li Shentong to the battlefield? Xiao Han never thought about it!
On the battlefield, he doesn't even know if he can escape unscathed! If this little guy is folded in again, I won't say anything about it! Just talking about his relationship with the Li Jing family, a mortal enemy would definitely not be able to resolve it!
Watching Li Shentong walk away in high spirits, Xiao Han chuckled, dropped his chopsticks, found a large clean bowl, picked up the delicious dishes on the table, and hurried to Xue Pan's house again with the bowl in hand. inside.
At this time, a man must be shameless, right? !
Time passes little by little in a peaceful life. Xiao Han hopes that such a peaceful life will continue forever, but everyone knows that in this era, this seemingly simple expectation is just a luxury. !
There is often calm before the storm.
Similarly, before the war came, Xiao Han's life was extremely quiet. The dispatch of troops and generals outside seemed to have nothing to do with him, and those people also forgot about Xiao Han's existence. The only difference was that he was sent to The number of letters at home suddenly increased.
When the wheat planted locally sprouted, the swallows also came back from the warm south. Now they are busy building their little homes with mud and grass in their mouths every day.
I don’t know why, Xiaojiazhuangzi seems to be particularly popular with Yanzi! Since the beginning of spring, almost every house has one or two nests of swallows under the eaves. Every morning when you get up, you can hear their chirping.
Butler Lu was very proud that there were so many swallows settling in Zhuangzi, thinking that this was due to Zhuangzi's deep blessings!
For this reason, he also specifically warned the children in Zhuangzi: If anyone dares to poke into the swallow's nest, he will be thrown into the mountains to feed the wolves!
In this way, even the naughtiest children in Zhuangzi would not dare to touch these elves in black tuxedos!
When he saw Butler Lu patrolling the Zhuangzi to inspect the swallows' nests when he had nothing to do, Xiao Han wanted to tell him that the reason why swallows like to build their nests in Xiao's Zhuangzi was not because it was a paradise in the cave!
They simply like the high eaves of Xiaojiazhuangzi. After all, this is unlike other places. As long as those two-legged things stretch out their hands, they can reach the small home they have built so hard.
The spring breeze rises, the swallows return, and the fields are busy!
In today's Xiaojiazhuang, except for the men who work and the men who study, everyone else spends almost every day in the fields.
Busy weeding, watering, and fertilizing the food, the field looked busy.
Fortunately, Old Man Hua went to Sun Simiao to study medical skills again, so Xiao Han could squat in the field and watch others work without having to be driven to the field himself like a donkey.
"Master Marquis! The ship you requested has arrived!"
The dusty housekeeper Lu ran over from the field path and reported to Xiao Han who was squatting on the ridge of the field.
"Arrived so soon?"
When Xiao Han heard Butler Lu's voice, he came back to his senses, rubbed his neck, turned around and asked, "How many ships have you got?"
Steward Lu gave a wry smile and continued to raise his hands: "To tell you what the Marquis said, there are quite a few boats found! But not many big ones. There are only two boats that can barely reach a thousand materials, and the others are small boats."
"Only two Thousand Material Ships?"
Xiao Han couldn't help but frown when he heard this. This answer was far from what he originally thought!
Since his family started building ships in Hanzhong, Xiao Han has had a relatively intuitive understanding of the scale of current ships. He knows that the so-called thousand-material ship mentioned by Butler Lu only refers to a ship with a load capacity of about 200 tons.
This number sounds like a lot, but if you look at it in practice, you will find that these thousand-material boats are only about ten meters long, and they look just a little bigger than the fishing boats of later generations!
"Too few! Chang'an is so big, and it doesn't even have a few big ships?" Xiao Han thought for a while, then frowned and asked Butler Lu.
He was also planning to use water transportation this time to quickly transport equipment and materials to the vicinity of Luoyang, but now that there is no ship, how can he transport it?
Steward Lu still smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Master Hou, since ancient times, the boat has been sailing from the south to the north! We Guanzhong people have been walking on the land all our lives, and we feel dizzy when we get on the boat, so how can anyone be willing to build a boat? These boats are still old I spent a lot of effort to find it!"
Changing perceptions is difficult.
Xiao Han had heard these words of Butler Lu once before in Hanzhong, so when he heard them again now, he no longer felt the excitement at that time, but only felt a little sad.
"Hey, when Yang Guang worked hard to dig so many waterways, why didn't the Tang people know how to use them? They would rather imitate mules and carry them on their shoulders than choose better and more labor-saving shipping?"
