Five hundred and twentieth chapters do not know how to praise
From today on, Tang Yaoyao and Xiao Ru Xiaoyi have become real sisters.
She would get up early in the morning to serve tea to Xiao Ru, who was a grown-up woman. They were already as close as sisters when they were not sisters. Now that they were real sisters, it goes without saying that they had a close relationship.
What's more, Xiao Yi and the two also knew the inside story. The competition for favor in the harem and the disputes and conflicts in the backyards of wealthy families were invisible to the Tang family.
In fact, there were not many changes in the family before and after getting married. It was just that a wall was demolished and there were two more people.
They are Tang Yaoyao, the third wife of the Tang Dynasty, and her maid Xiu'er.
When people in the capital get married, the bride will return home on the third day, that is, her parents' home, and the custom of Lingzhou is on the second day. However, the rich man of Tang insisted on insisting on the custom of Lingzhou, and asked Tang Yao to return home on the second day.
Go back soon.
Tang Ning couldn't understand. It was just a wall. No, even that wall was gone now. It was just walking from one courtyard to another. She didn't know what this stubborn father-in-law was insisting on.
However, this was obviously the last sign of his stubbornness. Tang Ning couldn't bear it and didn't dare to go against his will. A year ago, he didn't even dare to think about Rich Master Tang agreeing to let Tang Yaoyao marry him.
However, a year later, Tang Yaoyao slept with him.
In the Tang family, Tang Yaoyao, who had returned home, was sitting in her room, humming a tune, peeling a longan and throwing it into her mouth. Xiu'er walked in step by step from the door, pretending to be casual and asked:
"Miss, where is your Xipa?"
Tang Yaoyao bit another half of a red date and asked, "What is Xipa?"
Xiu'er looked at her and said, "It's the white handkerchief that was spread on your bed last night."
Thinking of that white veil, Tang Yaoyao's face turned red as if she was about to bleed. She had also received pre-marriage training, so she naturally knew what that veil meant. She glared at Xiu'er in shame and said angrily:
"Why are you asking this?"
Xiu'er looked at her, sighed, and asked: "So, you didn't have that last night?"
"You damn girl, what are you thinking about all day long?" Tang Yaoyao poked her forehead with his finger and said, "We are a fake marriage, don't forget it!"
Xiu'er looked at her and said: "True is true and false is false, false is true and false is true. What is false will become true after a long time. I'm afraid, Miss, that you have been lying to yourself..."
…
Fairy Tang returned to the door. Even if she was in the next courtyard, she couldn't walk over by herself. Of course, Tang Ning couldn't walk over either, because Rich Man Tang sent two people to guard the door of the courtyard for twelve hours a day.
Tangning was idle at home. Something happened to happen at the Xiaoqi camp, so he went to the camp the next day.
A few days ago, he only had a general understanding of the affairs in the camp. This time he inspected them one by one under the leadership of Xiaoqi Battalion Commander Shi and several generals in the camp.
The commander of the Xiaoqi Battalion, Shi, is equivalent to the secretary or the chief steward, who is in charge of the affairs of the camp. Below him there are various soldiers who have joined the army and are in charge of everything.
Each of the Sixteen Guards can be regarded as an independent yamen. Their responsibilities are not only to train soldiers, but also have their own fields to cultivate when farming is busy.
In the Qiaoqi camp, a man was walking in front. He looked at Tangning and said, "There is a warehouse in front of you. They are full of weapons. There is nothing interesting to see. Why don't we go around it."
Tang Ning looked at the Zuo Xiao Guard Chief Shi and said with a smile, "Cui Chief Shi doesn't know something. I'm also very interested in weapons, so I might as well go and have a look."
Cui Changshi was stunned for a moment, with a trace of unnaturalness appearing on his face. He quickly put on a smile again and said, "In that case, let's go in and have a look."
He looked at a captain behind him and said, "Open the door."
There is a dazzling array of weapons in the armory, including swords, guns, swords and halberds, eighteen kinds of weapons, everything is available. After pushing the door and walking in, a smell of rust hits your face.
Tangning reached out and fanned herself, and the smell in the air became even stronger.
He looked at Cui Changshi and asked: "I remember that the imperial court should allocate funds to the Sixteenth Guards every year to repair and replace weapons. Why are these weapons so badly rusted?"
Cui Changshi smiled and said: "General Tang doesn't know something. Although the imperial court repairs and replaces weapons every year, our Sixteenth Guards are no better than the border troops. We train on weekdays for the end of the year competition. During the competition, we use wooden knives and wooden swords.
Wooden knives and wooden swords are also used during training. If these weapons are left unused for a long time, they will naturally embroider faster."
Tangning looked at him and asked, "Is that so?"
Cui Changshi smiled and said: "General Tang will know after he has been here for a long time."
Tangning nodded and said, "Let's go and take a look at the front."
Cui Changshi stretched out his hand and said: "The place ahead is where the gunpowder is stored. General Tang, please."
Gunpowder has been used on the battlefield hundreds of years ago, but it has not yet become mainstream. Although the military does not pay attention to gunpowder, it will always keep some for training.
Tangning walked to the warehouse where gunpowder was stored, looked at several clay pots, and asked, "Is that all there is?"
Cui Changshi said: "This thing is difficult to control. When soldiers use it for training, they often hurt themselves before hurting others, so the camp no longer replenishes it every year."
Tang Ning glanced at Cui Changshi but didn't say anything.
This reason is very far-fetched. Gunpowder has a long history. Although there is no mature way to use it, it has been widely used on the battlefield. If he remembers correctly, each of the sixteen guards has some people who are specialized in it.
It is impossible for someone in charge of firearms to make such a low-level mistake.
Moreover, the imperial court allocates money for this item every year. Even if one-tenth of this amount is used to purchase gunpowder, there will not be only such a small inventory.
Cui Changshi looked at him and asked: "Master Tang, do you want to continue reading?"
"No need." Tang Ning waved her hand and said, "I'm a little tired today. Let's talk about it another day. Thank you Cui Changshi for your hard work."
Cui Changshi smiled and said: "It's not hard, this is what a lower official should do."
Watching Tang Ning leave, the smile on Cui Changshi's face gradually faded. After ordering someone to close the warehouse door, he hurriedly walked into a certain barracks.
In the barracks, a handsome man put down his wine glass, looked at him, and asked: "Is it over?"
Cui Changshi nodded and said: "After he looked at the warehouse, he went back to the barracks."
The handsome man asked again: "Did he find anything?"
Cui Changshi looked at him and said, "I'm afraid I've already discovered it."
The handsome man didn't take it seriously at all, and said: "I discovered it when I discovered it. This soldier of the heroic cavalry camp can do whatever he wants. I can cooperate with him, but he should also have some self-awareness. There are things he shouldn't touch.
Don’t touch it…”
Cui Changshi looked at him and said: "Prince-in-law..."
The handsome man glanced at him, and Cui Changshi immediately changed his mind and said, "General Zhang, if he really wants to get involved in this matter..."
"That means he doesn't know how to promote." The handsome man sneered and said, "What about General Zhonglang? If he doesn't know how to promote, I have a hundred ways to make it impossible for him to survive in this knight camp!"
Cui Changshi thought for a while and said: "General Zhang Lang must have heard his name. This General Tang seems to be very difficult to mess with..."
The handsome young man looked at him and asked: "Do you think this consort is easier to mess with, or the princess?"
