Chapter 113

Chapter 113: The choice between advance and retreat is entirely up to me

Zhao Jilong's body trembled. Li Shishi's extremely sugary words, coupled with her slightly shy and tactful voice, made Zhao Ji's body numb and numb, and he really enjoyed it...

The most important thing is that what makes Zhao Ji feel that Li Shishi's words are very kind is that in this large harem, except for this former oiran who is a prostitute but not a prostitute, who dares to call the Emperor of the Song Dynasty "Zhao Lang" like this? How dare you call it that?

Zhao Jidao: "Look, my sleeve has been torn off by this little old man Cao Fu. Can Master please sew it up for me?"

In fact, as the emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji had several spare pieces of emperor's court clothes - crimson gauze robes. However, Zhao Ji deliberately asked Master Li to help sew them in order to take advantage of Master Li's needlework. Create opportunities for two people to be alone.

Master Li took the needle and thread, holding the needle in his left hand and holding the red thin thread in his right hand, ready to thread the needle and thread...

Zhao Jidao: "Put the thin thread into your mouth, wet it with some saliva, and make it easier to pass through the needle hole."

Li Shishi nodded shyly and said, "Zhao Yan knows a lot about female celebrities!"

"Haha!" Zhao Ji smiled and nodded, thinking to himself: "I know, there are more! I just need to teach you one by one in the future!"

Li Shishi pinched the thread with her right hand, opened her white teeth slightly, opened her red lips slightly, and put the thin thread into her cherry mouth.

Zhao Ji watched with fascination as the peerless beauty Li Shishi prepared for becoming a female celebrity.

Li Shishi closed her red lips again, gently pulled out the thin thread that had been put into her cherry mouth with her right hand, and began to prepare to use the thin thread soaked in her saliva to guide it into the needle hole.

Zhao Ji looked at the needle held in the hand of the beautiful lady Li Shishi and couldn't help but sigh: In ancient times, it was very laborious to make needles because there were no modern machines. First, the iron block must be hammered into thin strips, and then an iron ruler with small holes drilled in it must be used. Pull the iron bar through the hole, and the thin iron bar will become an iron wire of uniform thickness. Again

Cut the iron wire inch by inch, file one end, and hammer the other end flat. Drill a hole in the hammered end, which is the needle nose, and polish it flat. In this way, the prototype of the needle is ready.

Next, the ancients would put these semi-finished needles in a pot, add ingredients, usually soil powder, pine ash, and tempeh, and fry them over high heat. After frying, they had to be steamed...

After steaming, it also needs to be quenched, which determines the hardness of the needle when it is forged. Finally, the craftsman polishes the finished needle with great precision, making one side of the needle sharp and the other flat with holes, reflecting the yin and yang. The theory of coordination...

Zhao Ji took hold of Li Shishi's catkins and said: "I will work with you to work together!"

Master Li's pretty face turned red, and he nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Zhao Yan."

Zhao Ji smiled, held Master Li's hand holding the thread, and together with her, he inserted the red thread into the small hole of the needle nose...

At this time, Zhao Ji did not take off his gauze robe. He gently put his left hand around Li Shishi's waist, stretched his right arm in front of Li Shishi, and asked her to use the threaded needle and thread to remove the right hand that was torn off by Cao Fu.

The sleeves are sewn to the right sleeve of the purple gauze robe...

Li Shishi’s female beauty is very good. This should also be a necessary survival skill for ancient women!

Even Li Shishi, the new oiran of Fanlou, likes to use needle and thread to embroider handkerchiefs in his spare time after learning poetry, poetry and other skills.

Therefore, Li Shishi’s nvhong practice is very good.

Master Li stitched every stitch carefully, and she sewed very seriously...

Zhao Ji enjoyed the beautiful and harmonious feeling of the alluring beauty Li Shishi, like a newly minted daughter-in-law mending her husband's clothes...

After she mended the broken sleeve of Zhao Ji's crimson gauze robe, if you didn't look closely, you wouldn't have been able to tell that the right sleeve of the crimson gauze robe had been torn off...

Zhao Ji praised: "Master's robe is very good. I will keep this robe and look at it often and remember today's events."

Master Li smiled and said: "The slave family hopes that the officials will remember Cao Yushi's advice more. The slave family will never dare to make the officials worry more about it."

"Where did you come from?" Zhao Ji gently put his arm around Li Shishi's waist and said:

"As my teacher reminded me, I will put most of my energy and thoughts on military and national affairs.

But at night, I still have to miss you a lot!"

Li Shishi, who was still inexperienced, was provoked by Zhao Ji's few words, so that his pretty face became hot and he was distracted...

The ice-snowy and clever Li Shishi understands the thoughts of the Zhao Guan family, who are in love with her.

However, Master Li still has a lot of worries nowadays.

On the one hand, Master Wen Yi Zhenjun restrained her with clear rules and precepts, and warned her that as long as she, Master Li, was still a female disciple of the Taoist sect, she could not mess up the rules of the sect, let alone risk the world and not violate the Song Dynasty.

Emperor Zhao Guan's family is having an affair...

On the other hand, of course Li Shishi also knew that she still had no status in the harem, and she was even more afraid of having a boundary-breaking relationship with the legendary Zhao Guan family.

If Zhao Guanjia gets tired of playing, tired of aesthetics, and no longer loves her as much as he does now, the outcome will not be good...

Therefore, Master Li still holds on to the last line of defense...

………………………………………………

"Guan family...can you and I have fun in different ways?" Li Shishi said with a pretty face, and nervously used her jade hands to tidy up the strands of messy hair that fell to her cheeks.

Zhao Ji also remembered the previous agreement with Li Shishi, but for some things, if the atmosphere and mood are in place, he can also do some unexpected things.

"How can you and I have fun?" Zhao Ji asked. In fact, he already understood what Master Li wanted to do as promised, but he still asked like this.

Li Shishi's pretty face was hot, she blinked her long eyelashes, her eyes were full of eyes, but she whispered nervously:

"The official family... let's play some leaf-playing with the slave family?"

"Uh?!" Traveler Zhao Ji quickly thought about it in his mind, what is leaf play?

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

If you don’t understand this Ye Zixi and miscellaneous categories of ancient history, you will really be stumped.

However, before Zhao Ji traveled through time, he was a top student in the history department of the university. Besides the residual memory of Song Huizong left in his mind, he also knew what Ye Zixi was.

The leaf play was invented by the famous astronomer Yixing Monk in the Tang Dynasty (his name was Zhang Sui), who passed it down to Xuanzong to play with his maids. Because the playing cards are only as big as leaves, it is called the leaf play.

Later, it was introduced to the people, and scholars and scholars flocked to it, and it quickly spread. The earliest card game, Ye Zixi, has forty cards, divided into four colors: one hundred thousand coins, one thousand coins, ropes, and one coin.

, later evolved into tiles and mahjong.

Of course Zhao Ji knew that Master Li was passing on the embarrassment at this time to playing with leaves.

In fact, Zhao Ji also felt that he was a little bit arrogant just now.

If Zhao Ji now disagrees with Li Shishi's suggestion of playing with leaves and continues Meng Lang's behavior just now, who in his Longde Palace would dare to stop it?

No one dares to stop it.

However, Zhao Ji, who calmed down a little, felt: He still has to stick to the spirit of contract. After all, the country is more important, and beautiful women can only be the embellishment of my life...

"Ahem..." Zhao Ji nodded and said: "Even if Shishi wants to play leaf play, then I will play a few games with Shishi!"

After hearing what Zhao Ji said, Master Li felt like he was being pardoned...

After she saw that the Longde Palace was almost back to its previous appearance, she shouted to the palace maid and got the leaf tablet.

……

Master Li picked up the leaf cards and shuffled them first.

Then, he signaled Zhao Ji to cut the cards...

The two of them draw cards in turn...

When grabbing cards, accidental contact between hands is inevitable.

Zhao Ji didn't take it seriously at all.

However, every time Mr. Li was accidentally touched by Zhao Guanjia, his pretty face would turn red.

……

Traveler Zhao Ji really doesn’t know the specific gameplay of leaf opera in the Northern Song Dynasty.

After all, it is unlikely that the history department of any university would open a special topic to talk about the specific gameplay of leaf opera in the Northern Song Dynasty!

Fortunately, Zhao Ji still has the memory of the original owner Song Huizong in his mind. The artist emperor could play almost anything interesting, and he was also a master of leaf opera.

This leaf play is very similar to the Western cards that Zhao Ji played before he traveled through time. For example, the card sizes in the leaf play are [hundred thousand coins], [ten thousand coins], [suozi], [wenqian]; big

The card types can catch small card types.

When playing the leaf trick, before the cards are played, the cards should be placed on the table as hidden cards, and should not be seen by the opponent or others; after the leaves are played, all cards should be placed on their backs, and the player should calculate the unplayed cards from the exposed cards.

Shi Jing...

Zhao Ji and Li Shishi played five games of leaf play. Li Shishi lost five games in a row and Zhao Ji won all.

"Alas!" Zhao Ji sighed: "I never expected that I would win five games in a row. If I had known this, I should have placed a bet before playing the leaf trick! It's a small... bet, it's fun!"

Master Li frowned slightly and asked in confusion:

"The official family is rich all over the world, what bet can make the official family care about it?"

"Hahaha..." Zhao Ji laughed loudly and said: "Bet... bet, if it is for each other's heart, no matter whether I lose or win, I will be lucky!"

Master Li muttered in confusion: "Heart? Each other's heart?"

Zhao Ji immediately used a lyric that was once popular in modern society and said leisurely and affectionately:

"I wish to win the heart of one person and stay together forever!"

When Li Shishi heard Zhao Guanjia's words, tears immediately filled her eyes. She didn't know that these words were just words blurted out by Zhao Guanjia, but they seemed to be an arrow that pierced Li Shishi's heart.

This made Li Shishi in a daze, as if she had found the destination of love, and saw that the person in front of her was the partner she could rely on for life...

Zhao Ji saw that the last line of defense in the mind of the peerless beauty Li Shishi collapsed with his earthy love words in modern society, and he felt a little bit sorry.

Zhao Ji did not take advantage of the beauty's danger and said: "Teacher, I promise that I will win the same agreement as when I played with this leaf!"

After Zhao Ji finished speaking, he turned around and left Longde Palace...

The beautiful lady Li Shishi who stayed in the Longde Palace and stood dumbfounded was at a loss for a moment. She even seemed to regret that the Zhao Guan family was in the Dragon Palace just now. Why could she be so coy and why didn't she follow the Zhao Guan family's wishes?<

/p>

"Alas!" Master Li sighed, and quietly sang a cappella the lyrics of Wen Tingyun, a great poet of the "Huajian School" in the Tang Dynasty:

"Light a lamp at the bottom of the well and hold a candle deep in it,

Gonglang always plays better than Go.

Linglong Dice An Hongdou,

I miss you so much that I know you don’t know.”

Zhao Ji, who walked out of Longde Palace, heard the beautiful woman's voice of resentment and did not look back.

Ha! Woman!

Do you want to refuse but still welcome? I have seen through your little thoughts!

The temporary departure is to get together better in the future...

Zhao Ji got on the dragon chariot and ordered: "Get off and drive back to Yanfu Palace."

…………

When Zhao Ji returned to Yanfu Palace, it was time for dinner.

Zhao Ji saw that after he had previously denounced the extravagant style of using hundreds of delicacies for an imperial meal, the imperial meal was now two-thirds less than before. However, there were more than thirty dishes with meat and vegetables...



There were many types of dishes in the Song Dynasty. When Zhao Ji saw that this dinner was still under his strict order to be frugal, he also served more than 30 delicacies, divided into five categories: meat and poultry dishes, aquatic products, and vegetable dishes.

, soup dishes, pickled dishes.

In this dinner, there are several dishes with different ways of preparing mutton among meat and poultry dishes.

This does not mean that mutton was not valuable in the Song Dynasty, but mutton was very expensive in the Song Dynasty and was regarded as a precious food.

Suddenly, Zhao Ji remembered something.

He pointed at the full imperial meal on the table, pointed at the roasted chicken and roasted leg of lamb, and said to the eunuch serving in the chamber:

"Give these two dishes to the great scholar Cai You and send them to the mansion where he lives.

And pass on my oral message: Great scholar Cai, thank you for your hard work, I will live up to my words..."

…………

In accordance with the order of Zhao Guan's family, the eunuch in the chamber put the roasted chicken and roasted lamb legs on the imperial dining table into food boxes and sent them to Cai You's new mansion.

He was preparing to stay up late to write a report to expose his father as a man who harmed the country and was in power for personal gain...

What Cai You never expected was that Zhao Guanjia actually missed him...

After receiving the imperial edict, Cai You tasted the roasted chicken and roasted lamb legs given to him by Zhao Guan's family, which strengthened his persistent belief:

I must write a memorial to accuse my father Cai Jing so that it can be handed over to Zhao Guan’s family as soon as possible...

…………

At this time, Cai Jing, who was in the Taishi Mansion, had his eyelids twitching endlessly.

Cai Jing realized that a big change had occurred in the court outside the Grand Master's residence. After Zhao Guan's family had dealt with Gao and Wang, would he be the next one?

Cai Jing made a simple comparison between himself and Gao Qiu and Wang Fu. The similarity is that they are all favorites of Zhao Guan's family, they all engage in corruption, and they all use power in the court for personal gain.

I don’t know if I don’t compare, but I will be shocked when I compare!

The scheming Cai Jing vaguely felt that the situation was not good...

Cai Jing immediately called his sons to discuss the current situation in the court. Except for the eldest son Cai You, who had severed the relationship between father and son, the other five sons went into the secret room to discuss the current state of government in secret...

The cunning Cai Jing and his five sons were in a secret room, plotting together. How could everyone in the Taishi Mansion escape this catastrophe?
