Li Ke and the others arrived at their destination smoothly. The scenery here is good. It is a wasteland and there is no way to cultivate farmland, but weeds can grow. The weeds that have just sprouted in spring make the surrounding area start to become green. , the surrounding willow trees also began to sprout green buds, and they began to draw strips.
After arriving here, some guards immediately began to organize things, such as assembling some assembleable wooden tables and wooden chairs and placing them here. The two iron stoves built by the blacksmith were also unloaded from the carriage.
Naturally, Jinyang and the others also got off the carriage. The Weihe River here is relatively gentle and they can go directly to the river.
"You guys, look at the little princesses. They can go to the river to play, but they can't go into the water!" Li Ke told the guards next to him.
"yes!"
Sure enough, when Jinyang and the others got off the carriage, they cheered and started running around having fun. Chengyang, Gaoyang and the others were like this. Although Changle and the others didn't have fun everywhere, it was obvious that the surrounding environment made them feel relaxed and happy. .
The scenery may not be very beautiful, but this kind of wilderness gives people a very beautiful feeling.
"Third brother, it's so beautiful here!" Qinghe, who was not far from Li Ke, suddenly said boldly.
Li Ke was a little surprised. Qinghe rarely took the initiative to speak. She had a cold personality. Li Ke once thought she had autism, but later found out that she was not autistic. It might be some things in the palace that caused her personality.
Living here for the past two days, Li Ke found that Qinghe's personality was somewhat relaxed. After all, she was only an eight or nine-year-old girl.
"Well, in fact, it's nothing here. Our Datang is so big. To the east is an endless sea of thousands of miles. The vast sea is endless. There are whales in the sea that are bigger than ships! To the north, there are vast seas. Grassland, green grassland is like a green carpet. To the west, there are towering snow-capped mountains, such as the Yangtze River and Yellow River we saw. The source is the melting of snow water from the vast snow-capped mountains in the Western Regions. The Wanquan River eventually converges into a large river. Dahe." Li Ke said with a smile.
"Yangtze River?" Qinghe was a little confused, "Third brother, which Yangtze River is it?"
"Oh, the Yangtze River is a river!" Li Ke smiled and nodded, "Because it is too long, so the third brother called it the Yangtze River. And I think there may be more big rivers in the future, so it is better to have a name to distinguish them. "
"Oh, I understand! Third brother is still knowledgeable!" Qinghe nodded with his eyes wide open.
In the Tang Dynasty, the Yangtze River did not have the name, but the Yellow River did. The earliest name for the Yellow River came from the Han Dynasty, and it was gradually recognized by people in the Tang Dynasty.
The name of the Yangtze River is only one river! From ancient times to the present, that is, from ancient times to the Tang Dynasty, the word "jiang" refers specifically to the Yangtze River. In fact, the original river also specifically referred to the Yellow River, and everything else was called water.
For example, the Wei River is actually officially called Wei River.
But now many rivers are also called rivers, but river still refers specifically.
"Sanguo, Sanguo, you said there are fish bigger than boats in the sea, is that true?" Jin Yang heard it not far away, and immediately ran over curiously and asked.
"Of course it's true." Li Ke smiled and nodded. "Have you never heard of Xiaoyaoyou written by Zhuangzi? There is a fish in the North Ming Dynasty, and its name is Kun. Kun is so big that it cannot be stewed in one pot..."
"Third brother..." Chang Le said angrily, "Don't teach indiscriminately."
"Ahem, I'm confused." Li Ke coughed twice, and then said seriously: "Actually, this kind of fish is called a whale."
"San Guo, is it delicious?" Jin Yang immediately asked with eyes shining.
Li Ke: "..." You have to ask me this question. I have never eaten whale.
"Oh, Sizi, you are so stupid. Think about it, the fish is bigger than the boat, how could anyone catch it! Then no one must have eaten it!" Gao Yang shouted immediately from the side.
"Then we can build a bigger ship! A ship bigger than Aye Palace!" Jinyang made a super big gesture with his hands.
What you said makes sense! Sure enough, what the child said is the truth!
"Then... we can't catch him! He can run away!" Gao Yang rolled his eyes.
"Okay, okay, you two, stop arguing, let's fly the kites!" Lan Ling said with a smile while pulling the two little guys.
When they came here today, the third brother prepared many beautiful paper kites for them, and the little guys were very interested in these paper kites.
Seeing Jin Yang and Gao Yang being taken to release paper kites, Li Ke breathed a sigh of relief and said, it's not good for children to have too many problems.
"Gao Yang, you guys sit down first, and the third brother will prepare the barbecue for you." Li Ke simply went over there and made an oven with the guards. This oven is no different from a modern oven, and it has no technical content. , although I also brought charcoal, it was a bit difficult to light the charcoal. Fortunately, there were no restrictions on lighting fires in ancient times.
There are guards here to light the fire and make charcoal. It is estimated that it will be done by noon.
Although it was after the Qingming Festival and it was not hot, the sun was still very hot at noon. In order to prevent burns, several guards had propped up a huge piece of silk to make an awning.
After many people from the south went to the north, because it was not hot, they did not take any sun protection measures and thought it was fine. In fact, in the north, even if you feel very cool, if the sun is very bright on a sunny day, you still need to use sun protection, as it is easy to get sunburned.
Several carpenter apprentices who followed over there have assembled the disassembled wooden deck chairs. These wooden deck chairs are designed with a mortise and tenon structure for easy portability. Li Ke has long been ready to go out for sightseeing. This deck chair is naturally Be prepared.
In addition to these, Yang Anning and others who followed Li Ke and others had already taken out the guqin, guzheng, pipa, and flute, four instruments for four people.
Since Li Ke gave them the arrangement, they have been studying this, which is to express different parts of a piece of music with different instruments to achieve a more complete feeling, rather than simply playing in unison.
They have tried a lot in the past few days and have achieved some success.
The two chefs who followed over there had already lit a fire, put the kettle on it to boil, and then started making tea for everyone.
Lying leisurely on the recliner and rocking, the sun is shining warmly, making you want to sleep. There is a cup of tea on the wooden table next to you. The fragrance of tea floats on the tip of your nose, and there are Yang Anning and others playing music next to them. The sound of the piano, the playful laughter of Jinyang, Gaoyang and others are constantly reaching the ears. Although the hooves of the guards in the distance are a bit messy, they add a bit of life.
This day is so exciting! Li Ke closed his eyes and hummed a little tune, "Tsk, tsk, this day is so comfortable."
"Haha, it's such a great day, I wouldn't change it for an emperor!" Li Ke lay on the chair and said lazily loudly, surrounded by his own people, what are you afraid of!
