Chapter 522 Self-defeating

Li Tai threw the two cricket corpses down, washed his hands and ignored them, "Actually, these things are not fun. They were given by Uncle Wang Li Yuanchang."

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Is this person back again?"

"My father has already said that he cannot return to Chang'an City without an edict. He just knew that the king was about to hold a crown ceremony, so he sent someone to deliver these two little things."

Li Tai is usually very shrewd and has a good nature.

Zhang Yang took out a ruler and handed it to him, "This is a gift for you."

Li Taixin happily took it, "What is this?"

"This is a micrometer."

"Micrometer? Don't we already have a Lishan ruler?"

Zhang Yang held his hands and said: "The Lishan ruler can only measure one hundredth of a millimeter, but this micrometer can measure one thousandth. This is the difference. It took me a lot of effort to make this thing good."

, I hope His Highness the King of Wei will treat you well, he is the only one in the entire Central Plains."

Li Tai played with the micrometer and asked, "How do you use this thing? Why does it not look like a ruler at all?"

Zhang Yang demonstrated it to him, "Your Highness, King Wei, please look at the scale above and remember that one revolution is one centimeter."

The most difficult part in making this kind of outer diameter micrometer is the ratchet and the sleeve, which took a lot of thought.

Maybe not accurate enough, but at least it's manageable.

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei can give this object a name. Why not say King Wei Ruler, Qingque Ruler?"

Li Tai smiled and said: "Let's call it Lishan Micrometer!"

Zhang Yang nodded, "Why don't you give it your own name?"

"No."

Perhaps Li Tai himself didn't notice the significance of this micrometer.

If Li Shimin had chosen it, he would have directly named it Zhenguan Ruler.

After all, Tian Khan has always been domineering, even cabbage has to be renamed Zhenguan vegetable.

The two of them were sitting by the path in the village. Zhang Yang was thinking, "There will be a crowning ceremony tomorrow, and Li Baiyao will bring someone to host it."

Li Tai is not concerned about his crowning ceremony. He cares more about the current construction of Lishan.

The hard work he put in at Lishan will also be his future achievements.

"Brother-in-law, do you think Chu Mo really became a great poet in Chang'an?" Li Tai looked suspicious, with disbelief written all over his face.

"Yes, great poet. Our Tang Dynasty has finally produced a great poet who is famous throughout the ages. I also plan to write a collection of poems for Chu Mo, which will be called Chu Mo's Poetry Collection."

Li Tai looked up at the sky, "God is really blind."

Zhang Yang said loudly: "God has never opened my eyes to this thief."

"Chu Mo, a genius like Chu Mo, will definitely not be able to write a poem like this, but when I think about it, he must have tried so hard for that girl in the restaurant, so he must be asking for help from his brother-in-law."

Zhang Yang nodded helplessly.

"Brother-in-law is definitely not the kind of person who would tie a girl to the bed."

Zhang Yang watched with dull eyes as the little bear swept across the duck pen. Xiao Wu and Xu Hui were still cheering, which made the bear even more energetic.

Are they really not worried about ducks not laying eggs?

Li Tai's words continued, "Since Chu Mo wants to ask his brother-in-law for help, and he will definitely not do this, then this poem must have been written by his brother-in-law, under the pretense of Chu Mo's hand. Is that right?"

With a wry smile, Zhang Yang took the fan from his hand and fanned himself, "I should have strangled you to death while you were still young."

"Hahaha!" Li Tai covered his stomach and laughed, "Who knew that Chu Mo, a talented killer, would be so self-defeating that he even beat up Gao Shilian's son."

This fat man laughed so hard that people fell on their backs.

Is it that funny?

This man's smile is too low, I don't want to talk to him anymore.

Regarding what happened in Luoyang, the central government acted quickly, and Li Shimin immediately ordered a thorough investigation into the matter.

Sun Fujia, the young minister of Dali Temple, and Ma Zhou, the Yushitai, went to Luoyang together. The emperor gave the Yushitai the power to investigate, and Dali Temple was ordered to go to Luoyang to investigate.

It was said that the emperor was aware of the impact of the madman's diary. These scholars took the madman's diary and wanted to overthrow the family's control over them.

If the aristocratic family wants to curb this situation, it must kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.

Li Yue, Xiao Wu, and Xu Hui also got back in the carriage, and the family was ready to go back.

Zhang Yang and Li Tai stood at the entrance of the village, watching groups of soldiers and horses passing by the official road towards Luoyang.

Pieces of dust rolled up on the official road, and Zhang Yang planned to wait for the dust to clear before driving his carriage home.

Not long after, Cheng Chumo came too, and he really was carrying a big sword.

Zhang Yang clasped his hands and looked at the official road, "You said your father doesn't know how to cultivate the official road? How can anyone walk in such a big dust."

"This official road has been repaired several times and is very spacious!" Li Tai gestured, "Brother-in-law, look, we can drive three carriages abreast."

Zhang Yang put his hands in his sleeves and said melancholy: "If we don't spread a layer of stones on the ground, there won't be so much dust."

When Cheng Chumo arrived in front of him carrying a large Mo knife.

There was still some rust on the edge of the Mo Dao. He said loudly: "His Royal Highness, King Wei, I will give you this knife."

The ten-foot-long Mo Dao seemed heavy in Li Tai's hand. Even if it was a gift from Guan Li, he couldn't say anything and could only accept it.

Cheng Chumo picked his nose and said, "Does King Wei like it? They all said this is a suitable gift."

Li Tai smiled and nodded, "It's appropriate! I like it."

Looking at this scene, I thought there was something inappropriate. Someone was giving crickets to King Wei. Are the adult crowning ceremonies of the ancients so weird?

"Your father gave you thirty lashes, and you can walk on the ground so quickly." Zhang Yang looked at him in surprise, "If an ordinary person received such thirty lashes, he would probably lose half his life."

Cheng Chu laughed loudly, "How could this old guy really be beaten? He just received a few lashes in a down-to-earth manner. He was just pretending to show it to outsiders. Otherwise, how could this old fox like Changsun Wuji just let it go?"

Zhang Yang looked in the direction of Chang'an City, "The general has thought carefully."

This bastard Cheng Yaojin said was a real old bastard. He was a rough and tactful person who lived in Chang'an City and understood the stakes.

It doesn't matter how violent the fights with the civil servants in the Tai Chi Hall are, but you must be clear about right and wrong.

A bastard will be a bastard, but he still lives a very clear life.

Zhang Yang put his hands in his sleeves and put them in front of his abdomen, "Does Li Daoyan have a younger brother who is still in the Wei Mansion? Did you bring him there in the first place?"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Speaking of the boy Li Xiaoyi, Cheng Chumo smiled and said: "This boy is quite capable. Because he cannot be admitted to the army, he can only stay in the army and do some chores. He was bullied everywhere, but he was strong-willed and endured it. After half a year, he got along with many old people in the army. He also got along very well with His Highness the King of Shu, and they almost became brothers."

This was a bit unexpected, Li Xiaoyi and Li Ke became friends.

Li Ke is the king of Shu and the child of Li Shimin. After all, Li Xiaoyi is also a military commander in the clan. They are similar in age, so it is good that they can be regarded as brothers.

"When I was discussing with your old man, he was mentioned. You can just make arrangements and send him here."

Cheng Chumo nodded, "I originally agreed to it for three years, but it seems to be well-trained now. You can call me back in advance and work with me from now on."

"As long as the person comes back, it's fine. As for how you arrange for him, I don't care."

Zhang Yang's words always make people feel at ease, which is one of the reasons why Chu Mo is willing to make friends.

Li Tai came closer and knelt down, "Chu Mo, how is the girl in the restaurant doing?"

Cheng Chumo squatted on the ground sadly, "She said she wanted to leave Chang'an City."

"Why?"

"If you offend the powerful, you won't dare to stay in the city." Cheng Chumo lowered his head, picked up a stone, and wrote on the ground, "What should I do?"

Zhang Yang asked: "Chu Mo, do you really like me?"

Cheng Chumo nodded vigorously, "That's natural."

This man is usually very carefree and has never said that he likes any girl. This is the first time he has fallen in love.

It's rare, it's rare that a rough person like him can have sad scenes.

"Actually, it's not impossible. I can arrange for them to come to Lishan to open a wine shop. In this way, they can protect them even if they are not in Chang'an City. As for the business, you can ask your subordinates to take care of their family."

Cheng Chumo slapped his thigh, "Good idea, let's do it."

Li Tai patted his shoulder and said, "Chu Mo, don't worry. There are often merchants coming and going outside Lishan Village. It is built on the official road one mile away from Lishan. Firstly, it can take care of them. Secondly, it is more convenient after leaving Chang'an City." It’s more convenient.”

Being able to have two good brothers, Cheng Chumo was so moved that he sniffed and said, "From now on, a certain family will live and die with you two."

Zhang Yang snorted coldly: "I don't want to live and die with you."

Li Tai stood up and also held the Mo Dao, "Chu Mo, I still want to live for a few more years, but I also don't want to share life and death with you."

Zhang Yang drove his carriage back with his family.

Li Tai asked his bodyguard to carry the horizontal sword and walked back to the village.

Only Cheng Chumo was still squatting on the spot. After being quiet for a long time, he slowly stood up and said, "One is desperate for money! The other is desperate for food! God is blind, letting a certain family make friends with these two people."

There must always be a few bad friends in the world to live happily.

After all, Cheng Chumo is also a child of General Cheng Yaojin's family, and he will be the eldest son who will inherit the mantle of the general.

Zhang Yang explained the matter to his wife, "I need your help, the mistress of Lishan, in this matter."

"Chu Mo is my husband's good brother, so I naturally want to help." Li Yue got out of the carriage and said to Aunt Yang who was riding beside her: "Auntie will meet them tomorrow and make arrangements."

Aunt Yang nodded heavily, "Here."

"Their family avoids the powerful, so they have to be careful with their words, give them an affordable price, and set up a wine shop for them."

"Don't worry, Your Highness Princess, we will make arrangements now."

"Sorry, aunt!"

"Drive!" Aunt Yang shouted, and the horse headed towards Chang'an City first.

Zhang Yang thought about it, "Aunt Yang is actually not an ordinary palace maid at first glance."

Li Yue nodded and said: "Yeah, my aunt was also a female general who didn't show off her husband."

In order to rebel against the Sui Dynasty, heroes from all walks of life rose up, and there were also many unworthy women.

However, there are not many women who can serve as generals in the army. Zhang Yang frowned and said: "What kind of generals are there?"

Li Yue shook her head, "These two aunts have been around since I can remember, and I have never heard them talk about the past."

The period when the Tang Dynasty was first established was very chaotic and left many unsolved mysteries, such as Li Xiuning.

Some things have become secrets, so maybe we can only ask the queen.

Even the queen may not tell the story of the past.

The family returned to Chang'an City, and just when they were having dinner, Aunt Yang came back and explained the reason clearly, "Your Highness, Princess, we have agreed on a price of 500 yuan a year, and we will move to the village outside Lishan Village."

On the official road."

Li Yue held her rice bowl and nodded, "Can they afford this money?"

"I couldn't take it out at the moment, but once I mentioned that it was a princess fiefdom with a good reputation, the family agreed."

Li Yue glanced at her husband, chewing food in her mouth, "If that girl knew that Chu Mo was pestering them, people would think too much about it."

Zhang Yang whispered: "He knows what's appropriate. If this fate really cannot continue, I will persuade him."

"Your Highness, the girl is actually interested in General Chu Mo. There is some evasion and confusion in her words. The young general is not a bad person, but the way he does things is not very good."

Li Yue smiled and nodded, "That's good."

After dinner, she saw her husband clumsily changing his clothes. Li Yue helped him straighten his clothes and smoothed his cuffs.

Li Yue looked up and down, "Well, it fits."

She loves her results.

"There are just a few extra threads on the clothes. It's been so many years, but there's still no improvement at all."

Listening to her husband's complaints, she saw him taking off his clothes again and taking them to be repaired.

Li Yue covered her mouth and smiled softly.

Xu Hui was also surprised. She usually saw her master polishing small iron tools that she didn't know what to use, but now he could repair threads on clothes.

I can also do the heavy work at home, and the master can handle the fine work at home.

"Xiao Wu, Master is so awesome." Xu Hui leaned closer and whispered.

"Well, Master is amazing. The new home in Lishan was built brick by brick by Master." Xiao Wu lowered his voice, "Master takes care of such a big new home in Lishan by himself, and it takes a year.

It took another year to build.”

Xu Hui looked at Master with eyes that were full of admiration.

Little Qingqing seems to be growing up every day and can now waddle two steps.

Li Yue held her hands and let Xiao Qingqing try to take steps on her own. Watching her daughter's legs touch the ground and step forward every time, as a mother, she was filled with a happy smile.

Every time her child grows up, it is a great inspiration to her.

This makes me feel more satisfied than how much money I earn.

Zhang Yang repaired the lines and put on his clothes again, then he felt more comfortable, "Xiao Hui!"

"Hey." Xu Hui suddenly responded.

"Winter and Chinese New Year are coming soon. Do you want to visit your dad this year?"

"Go, go, go." Xu Hui smiled and nodded, feeling happy, "Xiao Wu, go with me."

"Okay!" Li Yue smiled.

It was just after dinner, and the curfew had not yet arrived in Chang'an City.

The family went out and walked to Xu Xiaode's home on the other side of Dongshi.

Xu Hui was very happy along the way, and she only went home a few times throughout the year.

Today's Xu Xiaode Paper Mansion is not as dilapidated as it was in the past. It seems that it has been repaired several times.

"Daddy!"

Before reaching the door of the house, Xu Hui called, holding Xiao Wu's hand all the way, and trotted into the courtyard.

When Xu Xiaode's wife saw her daughter back, still wearing such beautiful clothes, she smiled and hugged the child, "Little girl, you still know how to go home."
