While the six prime ministers' wives were chatting, a slim girl with blond hair and blue eyes walked into the backyard.
The girl is indeed incompatible with the Han people of this era, not even the Xiongnu and Xianbei tribes.
You must know that during the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was no fleet of ships that could sail. No one dared to cross the sea, nor did they have the ability.
It wasn't until a man named Marco Polo came to China in the Yuan Dynasty that the door to the world was opened. Later, Zheng He's voyages to the West in the Ming Dynasty marked the official departure of China to the world.
But now at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a blond girl with blue eyes appeared in China. Everyone had never seen her before, so naturally they thought she was a monster.
This is also the reason why Huang Yueying's appearance is described in historical books as strange and ugly.
At that time, Huang Yueying came to Chang'an with her father. She was playful and ran out of the inn secretly to take off her mask and headscarf. Only then was she treated as a monster by everyone.
Fortunately, Jiang Siming passed by and rescued Huang Yueying, and knew that Huang Yueying's father, Huang Chengyan, was an excellent craftsman and invention, and was a descendant of the Mohist family.
So he was hired as a professor to teach his disciples just like Hua Tuo, so that in the future he would benefit the people and the country.
So Huang Chengyan settled in Chang'an and had his own mansion.
However, Huang Yueying never liked to live in her father's mansion. She loved to stay in Jiang Siming's prime minister's mansion.
Because here, no one would regard her as an alien, and the prime minister and his wives all loved her like a younger sister.
Jiang Cheng was also very good to her and taught her many interesting things about inventions.
Therefore, Huang Yueying rarely went back to her father's mansion and stayed at the Prime Minister's Mansion. Her father was busy with research and had no time to care about her and let her go.
She was thin and frail, struggling to carry a prop that looked like a rocking chair, and happily ran up to Cai Yan and the others.
"Sister, look, this is the rocking chair invented by Yueying. It can be rocked when you lie on it, and it is very comfortable to fall asleep."
Huang Yueying proudly introduces her new invention to everyone.
At this time, Jiang Siming happened to be back from the court. As soon as he entered the backyard, he heard Huang Yueying's oriole-like voice.
"Hey, the rocking chair is ready? It's quite efficient." Jiang Siming smiled and took off the jade belt of the Prime Minister's official uniform, and took off his ID card.
Wearing these ancient official uniforms is too strenuous and uncomfortable at all. When I become emperor in the future, I must reform the official uniforms.
Diao Chan walked over and gently took the official uniform and belt from Jiang Siming and put it away. Jiang Siming smiled and tickled her chin. Diao Chan gave Jiang Siming a charming look and put the official uniform away.
.
Huang Yueying was a little happier than before when she saw Jiang Siming coming.
"Brother Jiang, come and take a look. Based on the suggestions you gave me a few days ago, Yueying changed the chair into the rocking chair you mentioned. Do you think it is like this?"
Huang Yueying took Jiang Siming's arm and pulled her towards her rocking chair.
Although many people are in awe of Jiang Siming, the Prime Minister, including Huang Yueying when she first rescued her, she was also fearful and nervous.
But after getting along for a while, Huang Yueying is no longer afraid of Jiang Siming, because she knows that Jiang Siming is very good to her and she does not need to be afraid.
Moreover, he regarded Jiang Siming as his elder brother and did not even call him Prime Minister.
Jiang Siming smiled and walked to the rocking chair, looked at it, nodded approvingly and said, "Yes, yes, this is the rocking chair. It's a pity that there is no patent certificate here. Otherwise, just for your invention, you would become a rich man."
"Rich? Rich? What is a patent?" Huang Yueying was curious.
Jiang Siming was delighted and said, "You don't understand even after I told you, so don't ask. I'll try the comfort of this rocking chair first."
Huang Yueying pouted her little mouth and murmured with a smile: "I really don't understand. There are so many magical little inventions in the Prime Minister's house. Why does the Prime Minister never take them seriously but is interested in my ordinary rocking chair?"
Da Qiao on the side smiled and said to her: "That's because you invented it, so the Prime Minister only cares about it."
Huang Yueying felt ashamed when she heard it, but she liked it very much. Thinking about her age, it seemed that she was almost old enough to talk about marriage...
Thinking of this, she secretly glanced at Jiang Siming again, and Huang Yueying's heartbeat speeded up a lot.
It wasn't until she had dinner with the Prime Minister's family that Huang Yueying returned to her room with a sense of loss. Her room was not far from the Prime Minister's backyard.
Jiang Siming specially asked her to stay here. Not only was the place spacious, but there were also many maids to serve her.
Everyone said that Jiang Siming was closer to Yueying than his sister.
But Yueying herself was a little unhappy. She was afraid that Jiang Siming really only regarded her as his sister.
Sitting in front of the window and looking at the moon in the sky, Yueying was thoughtful, and Jiang Siming's figure would appear in her head from time to time.
On the table is the latest letter sent from Nanyang, which is written by Zhuge Kongming and signed by Yueying.
But this letter was ignored by Yueying. Yueying and Zhuge Liang had known each other since childhood. Zhuge Liang liked her, but Yueying only regarded him as her brother.
It was okay before, Yueying didn't think about it in that way, but starting from today, she started to have some feelings and started to be sensitive to things like that.
After looking at the letter, Yueying finally didn't read it and put it in the drawer, where it was gradually forgotten.
Time passes day by day.
The princes everywhere are rushing to expand their territory, or they are trying their best to strengthen their own strength.
Jiang Siming is also working hard to increase his strength.
However, although there is no war, it does not mean that he does not care about the affairs of various places.
Today Guo Jia sent a secret letter, which really interested Jiang Siming.
According to reports from spies, Boss Cao is attacking Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Xiu is already planning to surrender.
This news was originally just a war that was not a big deal. Zhang Xiu was just a small city lord, so he would be included sooner or later.
But the exciting thing is later. After Zhang Xiu surrendered, it is written in the history books that Boss Cao fell in love with Zhang Xiu's aunt in Wancheng and asked his aunt to sleep with him.
This angered Zhang Xiu and forced him to rebel.
In the end, Boss Cao lost Dian Wei and his eldest son Cao Ang.
"Wancheng? How far is Wancheng from Chang'an?" Jiang Siming asked Guo Jia.
"There are more than three hundred miles of land, my lord, don't you think so?"
"That's right, are you interested in trying to get Cao Mengde's idea?" Jiang Siming said, since there's nothing else to do, he might as well go and have fun.
Of course Guo Jia disagreed. The main reason was that he had never read any history books, so he didn't know if Zhang Xiu would resist if he voted.
"My lord, if our army has to travel a long distance to reach the land of more than three hundred miles, it will take at least three days. I'm afraid it will be too late."
"No, we don't need heavy troops. We only need a light cavalry of 5,000 people. We can travel on a starry night and we can arrive in a day and night."
"But what's the use of this? How can five thousand light cavalry stop an army of hundreds of thousands?" Guo Jia was confused. Why did he feel that his lord's IQ was off the line today.
"Don't worry, I watched the sky at night and figured out that Zhang Xiu's rebellion was fake. He will definitely bite Cao Cao back. When they are in full swing and Cao Cao is defeated, he will send troops to chase them and make some extra money. It's been decided.
Let Zilong go."
Jiang Siming can't wait to see the big show.
