In the sixth year of Zhenguan, on the twenty-fourth day of the first lunar month, Chenshi, Lantian County, Qin Mansion.
Qin Ming got up early in the morning and after explaining the matter to Si She and the others, he and Xiao Qingwan got on the carriage back home.
After more than half an hour of driving, the carriage finally slowly stopped at the gate of Qin Mansion.
Yin Hu gently knocked on the car door and said:
"Sir, we are home."
After hearing this, Qin Ming slowly opened his eyes, gently pushed Wan'er in his arms and said:
"Wan'er, Wan'er, wake up, we're home."
Xiao Qingwan woke up leisurely and glanced at the water stains on the young master's chest. His little face was immediately covered with red.
She lowered her head slightly and asked in a low voice:
"Sir, does my sleeping state look bad?"
Qin Ming smiled and pinched Xiao Qingwan's nose and said:
"No, okay, let's go to the mansion first. I didn't eat in the morning, so I'm a little hungry now."
Xiao Qingwan nodded and said:
"Okay, sir, I will go back and make breakfast for you right now."
A few moments,
As soon as the two got off the carriage, they saw Qin Da coming from the direction of the mansion gate.
Qin Da bowed and said:
"Sir, did your trip go smoothly?"
Qin Ming nodded, and while leading a few people to the house, he asked:
"Well, it went very well. There was nothing happened in the house yesterday, right?"
Qin Da thought about it and said:
"No, everything is fine in the house."
"Okay, by the way, Ada, after class is over in the academy, you can help me call Dean Li."
Qin Da nodded and said:
"promise."
After a while, Qin Ming entered the backyard of Qin Mansion.
After receiving the news, Xiao Changxi came up to him, saluted Qin Ming and said:
"Son."
Qin Ming smiled and nodded, saying:
"Changxi, has Grandpa gotten up?"
"not yet."
Qin Ming thought for a while, pointed to his small courtyard and said:
"Then let's go to the study first, and I'll go over to pay my respects to the old man later."
Xiao Changxi nodded and said:
"good."
At this time, Xiao Qingwan said:
"Sir, please go to the kitchen to make breakfast first, while you talk to your aunt."
After saying that, Xiao Qingwan ran to the kitchen in a hurry.
Xiao Changxi looked at Xiao Qingwan's back and said doubtfully:
"Sir, why haven't you seen Sishe? Where has she gone?"
Qin Ming explained as he walked:
"I came back in a hurry this time, so I told Si She and Chen Long to help me deliver a message to Lu Guogong and others."
The two walked and chatted and soon entered the study.
As soon as Xiao Changxi closed the door, she was hugged by Qin Ming.
The two of them eased their lovesickness a little, and then sat on the sofa.
Xiao Changxi asked while pouring tea for Qin Ming:
"Mr. Qin, was it okay to enter the palace yesterday?"
Qin Ming nodded, and then recounted what happened after entering the palace yesterday.
Before Qin Ming left yesterday afternoon, he confessed to Xiao Changxi the reason for going to Chang'an.
After listening to Qin Ming tell the whole story, Xiao Changxi couldn't help but feel a little sad while sighing at Qin Ming's resourcefulness.
Fortunately, she quickly collected her thoughts.
"Qin Lang, should we expand the cement workshop next?"
Qin Ming nodded and said:
"Well, I have already explained the expansion of the cement workshop a few days ago. You can start preparing it these days. Just use the money needed to build the road."
"The Nu family will send someone to inform Xiaoqing today and ask her to send all the surplus from the store to Xingdaofang after the new year."
Qin Ming made a rough estimate and said:
"okay."
Afterwards, the two discussed the matter of receiving the prince, the king of Yue and the minister of the Ministry of Industry at noon.
Then they walked out of the study room together and walked towards Li Yuan's yard.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of Li Yuan's courtyard, an old servant bowed to Qin Ming and said:
"I have met Mr. Qin and Butler Xiao."
Qin Ming asked:
"I'm here to pay my respects to my grandfather. Is my grandfather in the front hall now?"
The old servant looked a little embarrassed when he heard this, hesitated for a moment, and then said bravely:
"Going back to the young master, Alang slept a little late last night and he hasn't woken up yet."
Qin Ming was stunned for a moment when he heard this. It was already time.
[If I find a chance, I still have to persuade my grandfather. How can this continue? 】
"Okay, then I won't disturb my grandfather's rest. When he wakes up later, please tell me that I'm back from Chang'an and I'll come back later."
When the old servant heard this, he bowed and responded:
"I know this, I will send you my respects."
Qin Ming nodded and took Xiao Changxi to the restaurant. After walking about twenty meters, Qin Ming said to Xiao Changxi:
"Xi'er, in a moment, you will send someone to the academy and ask Dean Sun to come over and take the old man's pulse. The old man is quite old. Ask Director Sun to prescribe some medicine to take care of his health."
Xiao Changxi nodded and said:
"Okay, I'll take note of this, and I'll ask Xia Zhu to invite Taoist Master Sun later."
........
At the same time, at the Chunming Gate of Chang'an City, two carriages, protected by a group of guards, slowly drove out of the city gate and onto the official road to Lantian County.
At today's court meeting, the military generals' fight for the title of Marching Officer of Longyou Road finally came to an end.
Li Er defied all opinions and appointed Lu Guogong Cheng Yaojin as the marching general manager of Longyou Road, and Langya Hou Niu Jinda as the deputy marching manager.
After three days, they were ordered to lead the left-leading army and guard 30,000 soldiers to set off for Lanzhou.
When Cheng Yaojin heard Li Er's order, he was extremely excited.
Just when he wanted to show off to his colleagues, he also made a mockery of Black Charcoal Head.
However, Heitantou left the class first and paid homage to Li Er:
"Your Majesty, since the army will go out in three days, have you decided on the candidates to join the army?"
As soon as these words came out, less than half of the courtiers glanced at Li Shimin on the jade steps.
Cheng Yaojin originally thought that the black man was dissatisfied and wanted to fight for another chance to go to war with His Majesty, but he didn't expect that this guy would suddenly make such a move.
[Okay, you idiot, you don’t have martial ethics, but you are obviously the nephew I recommended first. What’s wrong? All the poaching is on my head! It's simply too much! 】
Thinking of this mileage, he quickly left work and paid his respects:
"Your Majesty, the wound suturing technique created by Qin Ming, a man from Lantian County, has been confirmed on the black... Duke of E and General Xue. It does have a very good therapeutic effect on sword and arrow wounds."
"So for this expedition, the general would like to recommend to Your Majesty again that a man from Lantian County should serve as the recorder for this expedition and join the army. I hope Your Majesty will agree!"
Li Shimin waved his hand and said:
"The wound suturing technique of the man from Lantian County is indeed miraculous. Later, I will ask Zhongshu Province to draft a decree to the man from Lantian County, asking him to send someone to your camp to teach military doctors this technique."
Cheng Yaojin was stunned for a moment when he heard this and didn't understand why His Majesty shouldn't do this.
As soon as Li Er said these words, both the civil servants and the generals looked at each other in confusion, not sure what His Majesty meant.
Among the officials, only a few people, such as Fang Xuanling and Duan Lun, knew the inside story, so they all behaved as expected.
