Chapter 86 A Rubik's Cube
Zhao Zhen took out a treasure and value to Li Zhang as a meeting gift. However, when Li Zhang saw such a thing, his face showed a surprise and depressed expression, and even felt a little absurd, because what Zhao Zhen took out was a colorful Rubik's Cube, which made him even more sure that the Divine Bird was an airplane. But he didn't know which unlucky child brought this Rubik's Cube onto the plane?
"Why, cousin, don't you like it?" Seeing Li Zhang looking at the Rubik's Cube in his hand with a confused look, without showing a happy expression, Zhao Zhen was also stunned. Then he smiled and explained, "Cousin, you don't know, this thing is fun. Each small square can rotate, and I found that it has six sides and six colors. It is estimated that it has to move the small squares of each color to the same side to be considered successful. Unfortunately, I have not succeeded, and this thing is neither gold nor jade..."
Zhao Zhen was about to introduce how magical this thing in his hand was. After all, this was something that fell from the divine bird, and there was probably only one in the world. However, he didn't expect that Li Zhang reached out to grab the Rubik's Cube at this time, and then restored the Rubik's Cube in two seconds. This is the most basic third-level Rubik's Cube. Li Zhang was tired of playing when he was a child.
"Ah... cousin, you..." Zhao Zhen looked at Li Zhang's fingers flying, and the Rubik's Cube recovered at an incredible speed, which made him widen his eyes and show an expression of incredible belief. You must know that only he has this Rubik's Cube, and he played with it almost every day in the past few months, but he had never succeeded. However, he did not expect that Li Zhang would recover without even thinking about it.
"This thing is called a Rubik's Cube!" Li Zhang put the restored Rubik's Cube in Zhao Zhen's hand and smiled. He hadn't played with it for many years, and he felt that he was a little unfamiliar, otherwise he should be able to restore it within a few breaths.
"Rude Cube?" It was the first time Zhao Zhen knew the name of the toy, but then he was shocked and stared at Li Zhang with an incredible look on his face and said, "Cousin, how did you know this Rude Cube? Have you been to the Divine Bird?"
"I want to go, but the army has blocked the other side and can't even fly over." Li Zhang immediately gave Zhao Zhen a blank look and said, these troops were all sent by their Zhao family.
"Then how did you know this demon...the magic cube?" Zhao Zhen asked even more curiously at this time.
"Want to know?" Li Zhang smiled mysteriously at this time. Zhao Zhen also nodded wildly. At this time, he felt that Li Zhang was not only magical, but also had a mysteries, which made people want to solve them.
"Secret!" Li Zhang laughed, of course he couldn't tell the truth, and he didn't think about how to make up a lie to trick Zhao Zhen, so he had to keep it a secret for the time being.
Zhao Zhen looked at him speechlessly when he heard Li Zhang's words, but he felt very fresh, because he usually had no chance to talk to his peers like this, and Li Zhang did not seem to regard him as a noble prince, but actually treated him as a cousin to communicate equally. Zhao Zhen also liked this feeling very much.
"Do you want to learn how to restore this Rubik's Cube?" Li Zhang suddenly smiled at Zhao Zhen again.
"I think, cousin, teach me quickly!" Zhao Zhen finally felt excited when he heard this. He had been studying this Rubik's Cube for several months, but he had not been able to figure it out. Now, with Li Zhang, a master, he naturally wanted to learn it.
"It's okay to teach you, but this thing cannot be learned in just one sentence or two. I will teach you slowly when I go to Zishantang to be your companion in a few days!" Li Zhang smiled again at this time, but when he said this, he turned his head and looked around, then lowered his voice and said, "Cousin, can I ask you for something?"
"Cousin, just say that as long as I can do it, I will never refuse!" Zhao Zhen patted his chest very readily. He had a very happy chat with Li Zhang, and the other party also agreed to teach him how to play Rubik's Cube, which doubled his favorability for Li Zhang.
"Take me to see the sacred bird!" Li Zhang immediately spoke. This was his biggest wish after coming to the Song Dynasty. Although the plane crashed, there should be many useful things, such as he remembered that there were usually some commonly used medicines on the plane, as well as passengers' luggage, etc. These things might be of great help to him.
"No!" Zhao Zhen shook his head with a bitter face when he heard Li Zhang's request.
"Why?" Li Zhang asked again when he heard this. Zhao Zhen was the prince, so in his opinion, it should be easy to take him to see the sacred bird as long as Zhao Zhen is willing.
"Actually, I really want to see the divine bird, but my father was frightened when he was watching the divine bird. As a result, Li Shaofu said that the divine bird was a demon and insisted on burning the divine bird. Fortunately, my father woke up and saved the divine bird. But since then, the surroundings of the divine bird were blocked. Unless the father or the eldest lady agreed, no one would think of getting close to the divine bird." Zhao Zhen explained helplessly at this time. In fact, after getting the magic cube, he was also full of curiosity about the divine bird, but even he could not see the divine bird now.
"How could this happen?" Li Zhang couldn't help frowning when he heard this. He thought that his identity was made public. With the identity of the prince's cousin, it should not be difficult to go and see the divine bird, but he didn't expect that even Zhao Zhen, who is the prince, could not see the divine bird. Could it be that he could only find a way to convince Liu E?
"Cousin, why do you want to see the divine bird?" Zhao Zhen suddenly asked curiously. He was actually very smart. Li Zhang knew the Rubik's Cube and was very familiar with it. The Rubik's Cube comes from the divine bird, so he also guessed that Li Zhang must have a deep connection with the divine bird.
"Then why do you want to see the sacred bird?" Li Zhang did not answer Zhao Zhen, but instead asked with a smile.
"I? Of course I was curious. And my father just walked around the divine bird and found something fun like the Rubik's Cube. Maybe there were even more fun things on the divine bird." Zhao Zhen did not hide it and directly said his own psychological words. After all, even if he is sensible, he likes to play by nature.
"You've guessed this right. In fact, the divine bird is not a real bird. We can enter the divine bird's belly, and there are more fun things there!" Li Zhang suddenly had an idea and tempted him. He wanted to win Zhao Zhen over to his side now, and then he would have more chances of winning by persuading Liu E.
"Really?" Zhao Zhen heard that there were more fun things in the sacred bird's belly, which made his eyes suddenly brighter. However, when he thought of the sacred bird's ban, he showed a frustrated look, "No matter how fun it is, it's useless. The father is sometimes awake and sometimes confused, and sometimes I don't even recognize him. The eldest lady also has a distant attitude towards the sacred bird. In addition, the father is watching the sacred bird again, so she is even more unlikely to let me get close to the sacred bird."
"Don't be too discouraged. If you don't work now, it doesn't mean you won't work in the future. As long as the divine bird is still there, we can slowly think of a solution!" Li Zhang patiently comforted Zhao Zhen at this time, "In addition, don't tell me about the Rubik's Cube, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble!"
"Don't worry, cousin, the divine bird is the secret between us. Even if the eldest lady asks me, I will never reveal any of it!" Zhao Zhen patted his chest again and promised that this was the first time he had such a secret with his peers.
It was getting late at this time, and Liu Mei, Li Yong and the other side had already explained it, and some eunuchs urged Zhao Zhen to go back and rest, which made Zhao Zhen very reluctant. However, thinking that Li Zhang would officially become his companion in three days, he became happy again. After saying goodbye to Li Zhang and Li Er, he finally turned back to the palace. As for the Rubik's Cube, he gave it to Li Zhang. Anyway, Li Zhang was his companion, and it would be the same for everyone to hold it.
Liu Mei had to work hard to send Li Zhang's family back. Because there was a curfew outside at this time, he took Li Zhang and his son out of the palace, and then took the carriage to go home. At this time, the streets were quiet, as if the entire Tokyo city was also in a deep sleep.
"Brother Liu, where is the Jingcang pasture?" Li Zhang suddenly asked Liu Mei at this time. Li Yonghe was appointed as the right attendant, and he was promoted to the Jingcang pasture. He was also very unfamiliar with this position. Liu Mei explained to Li Yonghe for a long time, but Li Yonghe had a worried expression, as if there was something difficult?
"The Jingcang grassland is in the east of the city. Although our Song Dynasty lacks horses, the imperial guards still have many military horses. These military horses need to consume a lot of forage every day. The Jingcang grassland is the place to store forage." Liu Mei explained immediately, and her attitude was even more kind, because he saw Li Zhang and Zhao Zhen chatting so happily before, and he also had a higher evaluation of Li Zhang, and even felt that Li Zhang's future in the future was limitless.
"So that's it. Is it difficult to manage this grassland?" Li Zhang nodded at this time, and then asked again. He remembered that there was a chapter in the later generations of "Water Margin", which said that Lin Chong was exiled, as if he was guarding the grassland. Of course, he was a prisoner, and his responsibilities were more like a gatekeeper. There must be other officials on the grassland to manage it, and Li Yonghe is now the officials who manage the grassland.
"It's not difficult, but the daily in and out dispatch of the grassland needs to be carefully recorded, and every transaction must be remembered clearly, mainly to prevent the people below from being corrupt and abused. After all, the grassland is a fat and it is often found that some people borrow the grassland to make profits for themselves." Liu Mei explained again at this time.
When Li Zhang heard this, he finally understood why Li Yonghe was frowning. Although he could tell a few words, it was too difficult for him to let him manage the accounts of the grassland. Maybe he would be plotted by the people below. Even if he was a relative of the foreign country, if the problem was found, he might be punished for it.
However, Li Zhang was very familiar with the account. He could find a way to help Li Yonghe explain it. But it was inconvenient to say it in front of Liu Mei. It would be better to discuss it with Li Yonghe after he got back.
Horse hooves returned home in the moonlight. After Li Zhang and his son bid farewell to Liu Mei, they turned around and entered the home. No one in the family had yet to sleep. They were relieved when they saw Li Zhang coming back safely. Lu Wu was also here, and Li Zhang also found that there were a few more people in the family, and he was also looking at him up and down.
