As the owners of this village, the couple naturally had to greet them at the entrance of the village.
You can see a carriage speeding towards here from a distance, and you are in a hurry.
There was also a team of soldiers and horses to escort the carriage. When the carriage approached, it stirred up a cloud of dust. Fortunately, the road in the village had been recast with sand and was no longer the dirt road before. Otherwise, the dust would choke people to death and they would not be able to walk for a while. Disperse.
"Hahaha!" Li Yuan's hearty laughter came from the carriage.
Hearing his voice before seeing him, Zhang Yang bowed and said, "I have met the Supreme Emperor."
Li Yue also saluted.
Seeing Li Yuan get off the carriage and see Li Chengqian again, Zhang Yang saluted again, "Your Highness."
A group of villagers in the village stood at the entrance of the village and saluted together.
Li Chengqian walked closer and said, "No need to be polite. In fact, I don't want to disturb you too much."
When Li Yuan and Li Chengqian walked into the village, their first impression was that it was neat and clean.
"This is the first time I have seen such a clean village." Li Chengqian walked into the village and praised.
"It's indeed very clean, but why are the houses all the same in style?" Li Yuan looked left and right as he walked.
A group of villagers stood aside with their children, all with their heads lowered.
Zhang Gongjin, Sun Simiao and Li Xiaogong also came out to greet them.
Li Yuan said sympathetically: "I used to look down on you."
Zhang Gongjin smiled and said: "I did make mistakes when I was young. I hope the Emperor will not take offense."
Li Chengqian thought about what the emperor's grandfather had said along the way. This time, the incident between Zhang Yang and Li Xiaogong was not about his father's dismissal, but that they escaped unscathed.
All of this was planned in advance. Before this, I didn’t know the cause of the matter and thought that Zhang Yang really made a mistake.
If Grandpa Huang hadn't said this, maybe he would have been kept in the dark.
Even if his father understood the reason, he could only let it go.
Zhang Gongjin was his father's former adviser, so even if he was not in the court, he could not be taken lightly.
Li Yuan smiled, "I didn't look down on you before, but you taught a good disciple."
Zhang Gongjin cupped his hands and said, "It was the Prince of Hejian who discovered Zhang Yang. With the guidance of the Prince of Hejian, I have this disciple."
Li Yuan looked at Zhang Yang again, "Young boy has met many noble people."
Li Yue followed her husband with a squinted smile.
Zhang Yang explained: "I was careless at first and fell into the hands of the Hejian County Prince."
"Hahaha!" Li Yuan stroked his beard and smiled.
Li Yuan, Li Chengqian, Sun Simiao and Zhang Gongjin were chatting together.
After Li Tai wiped his sweat from doing the physical work in the village, he was not in high spirits when Li Chengqian came to the village.
Li Yuan went out with great pomp. There was a group of officers and soldiers roasting meat at the entrance of the village. Various meats were roasted on the fire rack. An escort team of thousands of people sat together at the entrance of the village, roasting meat.
The Wei government policy implemented by the Tang Dynasty could at least allow the people in the army to have food and clothing.
In order to prepare lunch for Li Yuan and the prince, a barbecue party for thousands of people started. Li Junxian took the lead in escorting them, and the entire leading guard was here.
The leading guard also performs escort and escort tasks most of the time.
Li Junxian is the royal security chief.
There were hundreds of fires and racks at the barbecue site, and thick smoke filled the air for a while.
"His Royal Highness King Wei, look at this scene, you might think that thousands of people are watching the fire together."
Li Tai sniffed hard and said, "The smell of barbecue is quite fragrant."
Looking at the piles of meat being grilled on the shelf from a distance, the people of the Tang Dynasty also liked to eat meat, as the people of the Tang Dynasty also liked to eat meat. It is naturally a good thing to have a strong body, but eating is very simple.
There is so much meat but there is not even a vegetable leaf to be found.
Zhang Yang shook his head and sighed, "Eating like this for a long time is not good for the stomach."
Li Tai took a sip of cold water and said, "Why did the emperor and the prince come to your village?"
"How do I know? Your Highness, King Wei, might as well ask it yourself."
"I'm not going." Li Tai said with a stern look on his face. Li Chengqian's coming to the village was something he was very resistant to.
"At least eat some vegetables." Zhang Yang covered his forehead. Just looking at the piles of meat gave people a headache.
Li Yue followed his wife and continued to struggle to make sweaters. The cotton was used to make cotton threads, and the cotton threads could be used to knit sweaters.
After a while, Li Yue put down the two chopsticks in her hands. She found that knitting clothes well was more difficult than doing the questions. Then she gave up and sat listlessly by the river.
When Li Yuan and Li Chengqian came to the village, there was no need to pay much attention to them, just let them wander around.
Li Yue was sitting by the river. Because Zhang Yang often fished here, there were three fishing rods of different lengths placed here. Her husband always used three or four fishing rods together when fishing.
Moreover, there is a branch tied to the fishing line. According to the husband, it is used as a buoy.
The fishhook is very finely made and has a barb ground on it.
Looking at the sharp fishhook, let alone fishing, it would be very painful even if it pierces a human body.
Li Yue hung the earthworms on the fishhook and threw the fishing line into the river.
"Want to eat fish today?"
Her husband's voice came from behind her. Li Yue looked back and saw her husband sitting on the ground hugging her knees and smiling softly.
This smile made Zhang Yang stunned. Is she pretending to be cute?
Her slender, smooth black hair looks beautiful in the sun, and her skin looks even more translucent in the sun.
I was a little obsessed for a while, my daughter-in-law was at her most beautiful age.
Zhang Yang sat down aside, with his back against the tree in the shade, "Your grandpa and the prince said to look around, so I came over. I don't want to accompany you all the time."
Li Yue moved and sat next to her husband.
The two couples leaned against each other quietly. The weather was still a bit hot as autumn was approaching, but the wind was still quite cool.
Li Yue whispered: "Everything in the village has been packed away, and everything that shouldn't be seen by Brother Huang and Grandpa Huang has been hidden."
The fish had already bit the hook. Zhang Yang picked up the fishing rod. The one that bit the hook was a big grass carp. He put the fish in the bamboo basket, Zhang Yang re-hooked the bait and put it into the river.
"Fortunately, the accompanying escort team does not need us to prepare food. If they eat here, the chickens and ducks we have managed to raise in the village will not be enough for them. It is not easy to save some money, but we cannot let them all suffer. ”
Li Yue whispered: "That's true. I finally raised these chickens, ducks, and four or five pigs. I'm still waiting to raise more."
He sat quietly for a while.
"My wife already knows how to weave clothes with cotton thread, and the aunts in the village have also learned it, but I just can't learn it." Li Yue looked at the river with a sad expression. The fish bit the hook again, and this time she didn't want to pay attention.
Zhang Yang also noticed that fishing was just an excuse. She was in a bad mood and wanted to sit by the river.
It seems that she still needs to make a lot of efforts on her way to becoming a good wife.
Zhang Yang whispered: "A person's energy is limited, and it is difficult to do everything well. You understand drawing design and mathematical physics, which is already very good."
Li Yue looked sideways at her husband and smiled stupidly, "Husband said that human energy is limited, but my husband can knit sweaters and is proficient in mathematics and blueprint design. Can my husband's energy be divided between them? ?”
That's true. Can she believe it if I tell her that I have lived two lifetimes?
How would she explain it if she believed it?
"I just had a hard time when I was a kid." After thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Yang came up with this sentence.
"My husband must have worked very hard to learn his skills when he was young."
"My hometown is a very beautiful place, and it is also a very competitive place. Sometimes once you relax, your achievements will be surpassed by others. My parents have been chasing me to study since I was a child, and even I don’t even have much time to have fun by myself.”
Li Yue listened quietly, rarely hearing her husband talk about his past.
Whenever her husband talks about his hometown, he always looks forward to it. Li Yue imagines what her husband's hometown looks like, and sometimes wonders if the image she imagined is what he said.
I feel like this way I can get closer to my husband.
Li Yue smiled and said: "If my husband's parents hadn't chased my husband to study, I don't think my husband would have the skills he has now."
There was no way to refute these words. Zhang Yang said with a grimace, "The reward from suffering is learning. I can't learn much, just scratch the surface."
Li Yue nodded and said: "Even if he is superficial, he is very powerful. My husband's parents must also be very powerful people."
The couple sat close to each other, and some words did not need to be said clearly.
In fact, my hometown has always been there, always under my feet, but it has changed its appearance.
I have never left my hometown.
Li Yuan wanted to stay in the village permanently, so Li Chengqian walked around the village and then went back. He also had someone draw the layout of the entire village. Maybe this was what Li Shimin asked him to do.
Leaving a few guards to take care of Li Yuan, Li Chengqian left.
Niu Chuang also asked people to clean up the house for Li Yuan to live in. Li Yuan didn't choose, saying that living alone was too boring, so he lived in a room with Li Xiaogong.
It was already dusk when he returned to the palace. Li Chengqian took out the painted picture and handed it to Li Shimin, "Father, this is the village built by Zhang Yang, and it is all painted on it."
Li Shimin spread out the drawings and looked at the contents. At first glance, it looked like an ordinary village. It was no different from other villages except that the houses were neater.
"Father, the biggest feature of this village is that it is clean and tidy. It seems that the rules set by Zhang Yang and Yue'er make it impossible to see even debris in the whole village. They also put a lot of trash cans in the village. They say it is not allowed. Littering everywhere, even the children in the village abide by this rule and have become accustomed to it, including not drinking raw water."
"This Zhang Yang is just a mountain boy, and he has a lot of rules."
Li Chengqian bowed and said: "Father, it seems that Zhang Yang is also a strict self-discipline."
Li Shimin thought of some of the messy streets in Chang'an City, "The streets in Chang'an City have not been tidied up for a long time."
