Chapter 82 Good Spring (Part 2)
From head to toe, and then carrying two gourd wine, Zhang Qian went straight to Zhang Ruoxu's farm. The latter was his elder, and even if the year was over, it would be necessary to walk around a few more times. The two farms are so close that they are very safe and there is no need for any servants to follow.
As for where Zhang Qian walked after passing the boundary tree between the two farms, no one noticed it. In the eighth century, the weather was much warmer than Xi'an in another time and space. The branches of new leaves that had grown covered his figure like green gauze.
A crisp ringtone rang on the country road, "Dingdang, Dingdang", like a mountain flowing water. Without turning back, Zhang Qian knew who was sitting on the horse's back. He waved his empty left hand back, turned his legs quickly and walked into a nearby forest.
The ringtone continued, and the horse's hooves hit the ground, making a light rhythm. In the blink of an eye, the two of them came to a blooming pear blossom deep in the woods. They stopped tacitly, one turned around and the other dismounted, and their eyes met. Before they could speak, a breeze suddenly blew, and in an instant, the sky fell like snow.
"Are you okay? You took such jewelry to Meilou. Will someone cause trouble for you in the future?" I originally wanted to say thank you, but when the words came to my mouth, I suddenly felt that the word "thank you" was too distant. Zhang Qian changed his words decisively, but found that what he said seemed to be even more disgusting.
"I had a drink with a few close friends in my boyfriend, and I didn't want to see the great cannibal showing off his power in Chang'an. So I used my jewelry to fight for something. What does it have to do with others?" Yang Qingqing didn't dislike Zhang Qian's stupid mouth and smiled, and his eyes bent into a beautiful crescent moon. "You must be more careful in the future. The eldest princess is not a person who can suffer losses. If you let her lose to Zhenbao Pavilion and go bankrupt, it is equivalent to slapping her in the face in public. She will definitely not give up with you!"
"In broad daylight, she can't come to the door with her troops!" Zhang Qian certainly knew that Princess Taiping was not easy to mess with, but he was unwilling to let the other party worry too much for him. He thought about it and shook his head with a smile, "As for other tricks, I just need to deal with them when I see them. Don't worry, I rarely enter Chang'an City, and it's not easy for her to make trouble for me."
"But you can't keep saying you're sick and not going to court!" The smile on Yang Qingqing's face gradually disappeared, replaced by lingering worries. "I heard from my grandfather that the eldest princess has many gangs in the court."
"I don't have to go to court every day. Even if I go occasionally, I hide in the corner and don't speak. Her people can't frame me for being dissatisfied with Datang just because I don't speak, right?" Zhang Qian thought for a while, and grabbed the other party's hand with a smile, "Okay, I really don't have to worry about me. You just need to take good care of yourself and wait for me to pick you up one day. All the others will be left to me!"
"Carment sedan chair comes to the door?" Yang Qingqing was stunned for a moment before she figured out what Zhang Qian said. In an instant, her face turned red and she quickly pulled her hand back from Zhang Qian's hand, "Lann't you talk about marriage before you hire a matchmaker. I..."
However, after twitching twice, she decisively held Zhang Qian's hand with her hand, "You actually don't have to offend her so harshly. At that time, as long as you could ensure that the supply of flower dew was continuous, you would have won. We didn't expect that you would make the glass lamp so quickly and make a glass mirror!"
"If you don't fight hard, how can you prevent others from using the same method to spy on the Liushen Commercial Store in the future?!" Zhang Qian didn't think about it, and shook his head with a smile, "It's better to interrupt the thief's hand once than to defend against the thief every day!"
"Breaking the thief's hand at once?" Yang Qingqing felt very novel about Zhang Qian's statement. She tilted her head and thought about it carefully.
There are always some strange things in the other person's words that are incompatible with her past experience and insights. However, the other person's strangeness can always refresh her or suddenly realize her.
This is also the charm of the other party. As long as she is with Zhang Qian, she will not be limited by conventional and secular views, regardless of her actions or way of thinking. Many barriers in the eyes of the world seem to not exist at all on Zhang Qian's side. Or they are as thin as a piece of white paper, and can be broken by slight pulling.
"At the beginning, I didn't know that the one who peeked into the business bank was the princess of the country!" Zhang Qian's words continued, with unparalleled patience and honesty. "But no matter who it is, since she has killed Liushen Business Bank, she must pay the corresponding price. If she does not lose all her money, she will not be able to avoid the idea of other people continuing to fight the business bank. If she makes her suffer a big loss, the rest of the people will naturally weigh whether it is worth taking such a big risk!"
"Of course it's not worth it!" Yang Qingqing raised her eyes and looked at him, her eyes wet and gentle.
"What's more, Princess Taiping is so strong that even if I offer the business with both hands, she may not be able to think of my benefits. But others will think that I am weak and bullied!" She smiled confidently at her, and Zhang Qian continued to add, "If I want to gain a foothold in the court, I must not be tolerant. Otherwise, no matter how high the official position is, the words I say may not be worth much!"
"I know, you are for me!" The fingers holding his hand suddenly tightened, and Yang Qingqing's voice trembled. "Otherwise, you don't have to hurry up like this. My grandfather said at the beginning that the Six Gods Business Company is just something outside of you. It was originally dispensable. If you lose to the eldest princess, you might even be able to make good relationships. But in fact, you..."
"Don't say that!" Zhang Qian pulled her closer, faced her face, solemnly denied, "I am willing to do a lot of things for you. But this time, it's really not for you. I just..."
Seeing the light in her eyes, Zhang Qian's tone became soft again for no reason, "At least, it's not entirely for you. I have never wanted to be bullied since I was a child, so no matter who bullies me, I will beat me back. Gradually, although others don't like me, they dare not provoke me easily. I have no relatives in the Tang Dynasty and have no foundation in the court. The more I am tolerant, the harder it is to have a place. So, it's better to give it a try."
He gently raised his hand to sweep the petals at the end of the other person's hair. He continued to add that every sentence was honest and serious, "When I make a place and say anything, someone will listen carefully. It will be easier to stop you from getting married in Tubo."
These words sound too lacking in tenderness and sweetness, and no wonder someone couldn't find a girlfriend in another time and space! However, as soon as he finished speaking, Yang Qingqing's gaze was even more gentle.
As a girl in love, she certainly hopes that everything the other party does is for her. However, as the granddaughter of Yang Sheng, the daughter of the governor Yang Ju, she clearly knows that if Zhang Qian really does everything for her, it will be even more unreliable.
My grandfather was promoted to the Central Secretariat again this time. It was not so much a promotion, but rather a high-rise to make room for others. From now on, my grandfather's influence in the court will only become increasingly weaker and lesser, until he finally "retired after success."
When the relationship between him and Zhang Qian cannot be clearly defined, the help his grandfather can give Zhang Qian is very little. Zhang Qian must rely on his own abilities to gain a foothold in the court and have a place as soon as possible to interfere in the marriage. Otherwise, he has no say at all. How can he fulfill his promise to rescue himself from the marriage ranks? It can be seen that the sweeter he speaks, the more regrets he will regret in the future!
Gou Duan is crazy and Cheng is confused by Qin. People in Chang'an are familiar with this sentence. However, how many people can figure out that "gou", "crazy" and "confusing" are the survival methods of Duan, Cheng and Qin's three major families? With Zhang Qian's qualifications and background, "gou" and "confusing" are probably not qualified. Learning the "crazy" of the Cheng family is a good choice!
"Do whatever Brother Zhao wants to do, just do it. I believe you!" I don't know what support he can provide to Zhang Qian to make the pressure he bear slightly lighter, Yang Qingqing suddenly smiled and held his fingers tighter.
"Since you believe it, I will not dare to let it go!" Zhang Qian suddenly opened his mind, lowered his head, looked at the other person's eyes, and paused word by word.
These words finally smelled a little like oath. The girl's face suddenly turned red and she was embarrassed. However, she was firmly unwilling to lower her head, but tried hard to tiptoe.
Just as a gust of spring breeze blew by, the flowers fell in the air. In an instant, two heads that were getting closer and closer were blocked.
When the petals were blown away by the wind, the two of them walked slowly in the woods, holding hands. Their faces were filled with happiness and happiness.
"Yong Zhao, can you tell me about your master's sect? Grandfather said that the inheritance you have obtained is far beyond the limit of a single sect. It is very likely that the one who escaped into the mountains with Qin Mo was the most knowledgeable group of people in the entire Qin State, and then inherited and continued to this day in the name of Qin Mo!" He gently shook Zhang Qian's arm, Yang Qingqing was like another girl who fell in love with her in time and space. When her relationship with her lover reached a certain level, she couldn't wait to understand everything about the other party.
"Your grandfather is the wisest person I have ever met!" Zhang Qian nodded and sincerely expressed his admiration for Lao Yang.
Before this, even Zhang Ruoxu, who knew him the most, had only sighed that Qin Mo had indeed taken a different approach in making tools. However, no one tried to speculate that his knowledge did not come from Qin Mo's family, but had a comprehensive inheritance from multiple families.
"Has my grandfather really guessed it right?" Unexpectedly, his grandfather hit the nail on the head, Yang Qingqing widened her eyes and looked in disbelief.
"Let me say that, you can see the place where I studied as the same as the Imperial College of the Tang Dynasty." Zhang Qian also hoped to improve his understanding between them. After a little consideration, he tried to explain it in language that the other party could understand. "It not only teaches the knowledge of Mohism, Confucianism, traitors, Legalism, and military strategists, but also teaches it. However, I have limited abilities and have only learned a very small part of it!"
"I only learned a very small part of it? Can you summon the fire meteor?" Yang Qingqing's eyes widened even more, and her mouth opened into a beautiful "o" shape.
Zhang Qian's heart immediately felt an urge to kiss him again. However, he was afraid that this move would be too abrupt. He swallowed his saliva gently and responded in a low voice, "The fire meteor is just a rumor, but it is actually another method. I didn't bring the relevant objects with me. I will demonstrate it to you with my own hands when you have time next time."
"Don't, don't take it out." Yang Qingqing shook her head decisively without thinking, "I know you have this kind of ability. Using Zhao is your way to save your life. The fewer people you know, the better."
"It's okay, you're not an outsider!" A warm feeling quickly filled Zhang Qian's heart. He smiled and promised in a low voice, "You can mark the woods in advance next time. After I saw the mark, I will come here according to the agreed time. I have learned more than one similar method. I will first choose some simple and easy-to-learn teachings to you, which can also give you more confidence in our future."
"I haven't married into your family yet!" Yang Qingqing felt very sweet, but he refused to accept it. "Don't take it out with Zhao. At least, don't take it out before you make sure I don't have to go to Tubo to marry again."
For no reason, a trace of desolation surged in Zhang Qian's heart. He quickly looked down and saw that the other party's eyes were faintly shining again.
He immediately understood where the desolation that suddenly surged in his heart came from. At the same time, he also felt more clearly the lingering despair lingering in the other person's heart.
Even the grandfather of the Zhongshuling could not change his destiny. But he handed over to the secretary who had no power and no foundation, a chance of change? I am afraid that every time she came to meet her, she needed to try to forget the arrangement of fate and try to show the happiest smile. After each separation, she would be accompanied by despair.
"Tomorrow, it's still this time. Come on, I'll show you something!" Gently holding the other person in his arms, Zhang Qian tried hard to use his chest to provide warmth to the other person. "Your grandfather is right at all, and my master is extremely strong. Although I am not good at learning skills, I have enough methods to break mountains and crack rocks at the moment. As for the future, I can't guarantee too much, at least, I can guarantee that no one can force you to do things you don't like to do."
"Use Brother Zhao!" She hugged Zhang Qian with both hands. She was like a sponge, trying to draw some courage and strength from the other person's body. But she found that at this moment, she was as weak as a weed in the wind.
"Don't be afraid, we still have enough time!" Zhang Qian's body was wide and strong, like a big tree, blocking the slightly cool spring breeze for her. "In two years, I can make a lot of things. There is a kind of armor in the master's sect that can block the shooting of crossbow arrows from the front. There is a weapon in the master's sect that can penetrate invisibly from a hundred steps away. There is also a bicycle in the master's sect that does not require a horse to pull it. You can move forward quickly with your feet. There is also a huge balloon in the master's sect that can fly directly into the sky and take you and me to escape thousands of miles..."
He didn't know what to say to help her get rid of fear and despair. So, try to pick up the general principles of yourself, and list them based on the level of time and space craftsmanship and objects that you hope to make. As a result, the more you talk, the more you find that your thinking is broader.
As it turns out, these words have a very good comfort effect.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Yang Qingqing's body stopped trembling.
A quarter of an hour later, the fear in Yang Qingqing's eyes turned into amazement.
...
Half an hour later, Yang Qingqing's mind had stopped rotating. She looked straight at Zhang Qian, as if she was looking at a god or monster.
"There is also something called a high-speed train in the master's sect. It can carry thousands of people, powered by electricity, and can run 1,400 miles per hour on the railway track..."
"Brother Zhao, what is electricity?"
"Electricity is the lightning in daily life. It is actually an invisible energy. This is actually easy to show, come and see..." Zhang Qian easily opened the other party, took out a glass comb from his sleeve, smiled and wiped it on his silk robe a few times, then bent down, and slowly leaned the comb against the dried petals on the ground.
Four or five dried petals were quickly attracted by the charge on the glass comb, and stood up, moving back and forth with his hands, as if the elves were dancing. "This is electricity. If you can concentrate it and transport it through copper wire, you can drive the high-speed train."
Yang Qingqing slowly squatted down, watching the petals dance without blinking, as curious as if a baby who had just begun to observe the world. "Brother Zhao, did you really not impose magic on the comb?"
"This comb is a gift I have prepared for you. You can try it yourself. Rubbing silk with any glass can generate charge." Zhang Qian smiled and handed the comb to the other party, adding with a smile. "If you wear silk and fur at the same time in winter, you can often hear the sound of "pop" and "pop", which is also the sound of charges colliding with each other.
"I did hear it!" Yang Qingqing suddenly realized, rubbing her outer robe with a comb, and nodding gently. "Sometimes you can even see sparks, but you have never linked it to the lightning in the sky before."
As she spoke, she also followed Zhang Qian's demonstration movements and used a comb to attract petals. Sure enough, she also saw dried petals and grass clippings, dancing under the comb.
"If you turn back and use confetti, you can suck it up!" Seeing that the other party was learning seriously, Zhang Qian's addiction quickly broke out. After thinking about it, he said in an encouragement tone: "Also, if you use two glass rods, rub the silk and fur respectively, and then move the glass rods to each other, you can immediately see very beautiful sparks in a dark room!" (Note: This experiment recommends coaxing children, which is very simple.)
"Really?" Yang Qingqing had completely forgotten her worries, and her beautiful eyes were full of the desire to seek knowledge.
"Just try it back. I'll bring you a glass stick tomorrow." Worried that the other party would squat in the wild for too long and be hurt by the wind. Zhang Qian stretched out his hand and pulled her up hard. Then, he quickly took out a beautifully packaged brocade box from the pocket in his sleeve, "This is also for you. It is the only one in the world at present!"
"What?" Yang Qingqing reluctantly moved her eyes away from the ground and took the brocade box with both hands.
"You'll know when you open it!" Zhang Qian pretended to be mysterious and nodded slightly.
The girl couldn't help but feel curious and obediently opened the brocade box. In an instant, a mirror the size of a palm automatically stood up from the brocade box, illuminating her beautiful face.
In the mirror, the surprise and joy on her face were clearly visible.
In the mirror, his figure quickly walked behind her. He bent down gently and pressed his face towards her.
Two young smiling faces quickly gathered in the mirror. Suddenly, another blessing heart came, and Zhang Qian quickly took out the mobile phone from his arms that he had never dared to use again for a long time, and opened it carefully. Then, he put his head on Yang Qingqing's shoulder again, directed the other party to look at the camera of the mobile phone with him, and then quickly pressed his fingers.
"Crack!" In an instant, two happy faces became eternal on the mobile phone screen!
……………………
"Brush, brush..." Under the noon sun, the sword light flashed, dazzling.
In Zhongnan Mountain, on a hard ground, Sima Chengzhen, the 12th-generation master of the Maoshan Sect of Shangqing Sect, kept waving his sword while chanting, "The Emperor Taishang is as anxious as the law..."
A little further away, Li Xianzong, the Huntian Superintendent in the Tang Dynasty, was holding a peach wood sword and staring at Sima Chengzhen's every move. His slightly old face was full of expectations.
"Ring the bell!" He stopped suddenly, and Sima Chengzhen shouted sternly.
"Dangdangdang..." The three-mouthed bronze bells were ringed hard by the Taoist priests. The sound was crisp and pleasant, and a group of wild doves rose into the sky, covering half of the sky.
"Master, has Taoist Master Bai Yunzi figured out some of his eyebrows? According to the Baiqisi report, the brothers near Xiao Zhangjiazhuang that day only heard the bells long after the altar caught fire!" Under a willow tree more than ten steps away next to Li Xianzong, Princess Anle, the daughter who was most loved by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, gently pulled the sleeves of a white-haired old Taoist priest and whispered to remind him.
"Yeah!" The old white-haired Taoist priest, known as the master, closed his eyes and calculated the thumb of his right hand repeatedly on the other four fingers. After a while, hesitated to explain: "Princess, each family has its own secret methods. After the bell sounds, or before the fire, it is just a superficial phenomenon. The key is whether the fire can come out and how far it can fly. Senior Brother Bai Yunzi is the strongest mana of my Maoshan School. Since he was entrusted by the princess, he will do his best. As for whether the key to that day can be successfully revealed this time, it depends on the opportunity. After all, the solar eclipse is the intersection of the most yang and the most yin, but now there is only the most yang and there is no most yin."
"Oh?!" Princess Anle nodded politely, but the disappointment in her eyes was unconcealed.
The bronze bell was "temporarily borrowed" from the palace through her mother's queen more than half a month ago. She first gave it to the Buddhist monks for many days, but there was no result. As a last resort, she turned to Sima Chengzhen, who had already lived in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain.
Judging from the current results, Sima Chengzhen probably didn't even find the door where the meteor was inspiring. Not to mention cracking the secret of Zhang Qian summoning the fire meteor that day!
"Princess, don't be anxious. Senior Brother Bai Yunzi is very knowledgeable. Since he is willing to try it out today, he must have some confidence in his heart." The old Taoist priest was stimulated by Princess Anle's gaze and turned red. He gritted his teeth and added, "Maybe it just needs some..."
"Go, go!" He was only halfway through his words, and suddenly a sudden shout came from his ears. The two of them turned their heads and saw Bai Yunzi pointing his sword at the shade of the tree two meters away. In the darkness under the shade, a blue flame suddenly flashed, and then, rolling white smoke came out!
Chapter completed!
