From the north to Chang'an, it is more than a thousand miles away.
Ancient roads are not like highways or high-speed trains in the future. They are basically straight lines...straight lines in a rough sense. Instead, you can take whatever road is easy to follow. There are not many choices.
And this is spring, and it rains from time to time.
As long as it rains, both official roads and ordinary paths will become muddy, making the caravan move as slow as a snail. It is an absolute luxury to walk twenty or thirty miles a day, and it is an absolute luxury to have a ten-mile journey.
It's a lucky day. You must know that Bahari will not let the more than one hundred war horses go to Chang'an "empty-handed". The backs of the camels are filled with all kinds of cattle, sheep skins and other goods.
It’s still early to get to Chang’an.
Therefore, Li Yuanjia naturally didn't know any news about Bahari who didn't know how long it would take to arrive in Chang'an. And in March of the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, he really had too many things in his hands, and he had no time to think about it.
Pay attention to a Turkic businessman. In fact, he almost forgot about spirits and tea.
"Be careful, please be careful!"
Standing on the outside of a wall, Chen Mu carefully hammered nails into the wooden window and kept muttering: "There are only the last two pieces of glass left. If they are broken, this window will be gone today."
It can’t be installed at all... Hurry up, we don’t have much time left!"
The two apprentices were almost driven crazy by Chen Mu, who told them to be careful at first and hurry up later.
Fortunately, this was the last window. After half a stick of incense, the last glass window was finally installed. As soon as Chen Mu straightened up, several maids next to him immediately swarmed over and started using
Wipe it inside and out with a damp cloth, and then wipe it on one side again with a clean towel. Soon the whole window will become shiny!
It was only then that Chen Mu breathed a sigh of relief and felt completely relieved.
The glass that Han Cheng and the others could make was limited, and they later sent two batches to the palace, so there was not much left for the king. However, the place where the king lived was large and there were many rooms, and the windows alone were
There are dozens of pieces!
What Chen Mu and the others pretended just now was the last piece.
The last window is also the last piece of glass.
If there was something wrong with the piece of glass just now, it would take three days at the earliest to get a new one. But before Chen Mu and the others came today, Butler Han gave a death order, and everything must be installed before noon today...
"hey-hey……"
Just when Chen Mu was secretly glad that he finally finished before the time limit, he suddenly heard a strange laughter. When he looked back, he saw a black line on his forehead!
The two apprentices he led were staring at the maid who was cleaning the windows, their saliva almost dripping from their mouths.
These two bastards!
Chen Mu, whose face turned dark, was about to scold them and ask them to look away when he heard a voice not far away: "Huh? Is the glass finished?"
After seeing the person coming, Chen Mu quickly stepped forward and said respectfully.
Of course, he is much older than Chun Yan. It is supposed to be shameful to call someone "sister", but there is no way. Who makes Chun Yan the king's personal maid? And she is extremely favored, except for the old housekeeper Han Shan.
In addition, even Han Lucheng had to be polite when talking to them, not to mention Chen Mu, the head carpenter.
While replying, Chen Mu also glared at the two apprentices fiercely.
It’s just the girls who clean the windows. This person in front of me is not an ordinary person. If these two boys dare to stare at others again and still look like they are drooling...
As soon as Chen Mu thought of this, he couldn't help but shiver.
"Okay, just finish pretending."
Fortunately, Chun Yan didn't look at Chen Mu's two apprentices at all. She just glanced at him, then waved her hand casually and said: "This is the inner courtyard, you can't stay too long, get out quickly!"
"Yes, let's leave now!"
Secretly breathing a sigh of relief, Chen Mu and the others quickly packed up their things and left.
Of course not everyone can come to the inner courtyard of Prince Han's Mansion. In fact, because the king does not like eunuchs, there are only maids and Yu Niang in the inner courtyard. If it were not for the installation of these glass windows, Chen Mu would not have entered the inner courtyard at all.
Qualifications, now that the things have been packed, it is natural to leave immediately.
"Huh...fortunately, it's still early."
After leaving the inner courtyard, he looked up at the sky and saw a smile on Chen Mu's face.
This time is not bad. You can go back after having lunch. The king wants a lot of things recently. If you go back to Zhuangzi outside the city early, you can also work early...
"Quickly, get out of the way! Stand aside!"
At this moment, a sudden burst of low shouting came from the side.
There was no need to raise his head to see what was going on. Just hearing the sound, Chen Mu immediately pulled his two apprentices aside. Then he heard a burst of jingle-like laughter and chaotic footsteps, heading towards the inner courtyard.
The direction surged over.
Then, Chen Mu heard the voice again: "Stand still, wait for the nobles to come in and leave quickly!"
"yes."
As soon as he heard the word "noble", Chen Mu quickly took two steps back and lowered his head slightly at the same time.
"Master, this is..."
"Shut up! Don't make a sound!"
As if glaring fiercely at his apprentice who was about to ask something in a low voice, Chen Mu shouted in a low voice: "Stand still, lower your head, and wait until the nobles pass by!"
"Yes, master."
Seeing the serious expression on the master's face, the two apprentices felt nervous and quickly lowered their heads.
Soon, the group of people came to Chen Mu and the others.
Although he never dared to raise his head, Chen Mu soon heard young and beautiful voices, Ying Ying Yan Yan, which made his heart flutter.
Of course, he still didn't dare to raise his head.
He heard the voice that ordered him just now. It should be Mo Hua, the most trusted maid around the princess. It is conceivable that Chen Mu and the others cannot just look at someone who can make her a noble person.
He could only lower his head and watch pairs of little feet appear not far away.
But seeing rows of people stepping into the inner courtyard, while Chen Mu was waiting carefully, his heart was actually full of surprise: "What's going on? Why are so many guests suddenly here? And it seems like they are all here.
woman?"
Just when Chen Mu was confused and confused, the voices of these girls reached his ears one after another.
"Wow, Prince Han's Mansion is really extraordinary, it looks so majestic!"
"The place ahead should be where Sister Fengzhu lives. Let's take a few steps quickly."
