Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 97
When fishing caught crabs, Li Qinzai thought it was an eternal mystery.

All in all, very embarrassing.

Just now, in front of Cui Jie, she swore that she would catch fish, but the haughty expression that made everything possible became a slap on the face at this moment.

"Actually, there is no need to eat fish..." Li Qinzai tried hard to save face.

Cui Jie suppressed a smile and nodded: "That's right, Cong Shuang doesn't necessarily have to eat fish."

"If you want to eat meat, you can go hunting on the mountain by yourself. There are many wild animals in the mountain. She can find a bear to beat to death and drag her back. To be honest, I also know four ways to make bear paws..."

Cui Jie pursed her lips, turned her head away, and shrugged her shoulders.

"What Li Shixiong said is reasonable, I will let Congshuang go up the mountain to beat the bear later."

Li Qinzai nodded in satisfaction.

Has the face just now been saved?
Forget it?

Never mind, anyway, I don't intend to marry you, so if I lose face, I lose face, why?
It is impossible to expect to enjoy solitude, and Cui Jie cannot be driven away even by explicit hints, so Li Qinzai decides to leave by himself.

Today's fishing technique was out of order, Li Qinzai had to go back and sum up the reason.

After much deliberation, Li Qinzai guessed that there might be a problem with his fishing rod, just like a rookie would never admit his technical skills, anyway, either the mouse is not working, or the keyboard was eaten by a dog.

I heard that there was a shop selling fishing rods in Chang'an City, so I asked Liu Asi to send someone to buy some quickly, and then caught Cui Jie to squat by the river, let her admire her superb fishing skills, and she was ashamed .

Waving his hand in a dispirited manner, Li Qinzai said that he was going to withdraw.

Cui Jie stood up, and solemnly touched her forehead with both hands to pay her farewell. When she raised her head, she suddenly found that Li Qinzai had disappeared.

Cui Jie gritted her teeth, after all, she is also a child of Jiangmen State Duke's Mansion, so it's really rude!
…………

Back in the humble house, the widowed old woman who took in the master and servant went to the field to burn the straw.

Congshuang sat on the stone mill in the yard, with one leg crossed by the millstone, the other hanging down and dangling, chewing some snacks in his mouth, the small mouth kept wriggling, like a cute animal Foodie hamster.

Seeing Cui Jie coming back, Congshuang's eyes lit up, he jumped off the millstone, and circled around Cui Jie.

"Didn't the girl say to buy fish? Where's the fish?" Congshuang asked disappointedly.

Cui Jie twitched her lips and said, "The fish are swimming in the river. I'm afraid I won't be able to buy them today. I'll buy them for you tomorrow."

Cong Shuang pouted: "Girl, I haven't eaten meat for a long time..."

Cui Jie smiled softly: "Just now I met an expert by the river, the expert suggested that you go up the mountain to find a bear yourself, beat it to death and drag it down, he said he can make bear paws."

Cong Shuang was stunned, and then said angrily: "Where did the expert come from? He is clearly a lunatic!"

Cui Jie couldn't help it anymore, she covered her mouth and giggled.

Congshuang shook her arm aggrievedly and acted like a baby: "Girl, can I go buy some fish? It's good to try the fish soup, I'm so hungry..."

Cui Jie said helplessly: "Okay, I will definitely buy fish for you tomorrow. I almost bought it today, but it's a pity that Li... that person's fishing skills are not good, and he didn't get it after waiting for a long time."

"Who is it?"

Cui Jie's pretty face suddenly turned serious, and she said, "Mo Duo asked, by the way, don't you know how to recite "Hundred Family Surnames"? Write down the full text of Hundred Family Surnames, I want to read it."

Congshuang let out an oh, and obediently went back to the room to write.

People from aristocratic families, even slaves and maidservants, are proficient in writing and ink, and Congshuang can, and she can read quite a few words.

After writing down the full text of the hundred family names, Cui Jie carefully read it from beginning to end, and remained silent after reading it.

Cong Shuang said softly: "Girl, it is said that this article was written by a dude of the Li family, but the maidservant thinks this article is very common. It is nothing more than summing up the surnames in the world. If it were me, I would also compile it."

Cui Jie gave her a blank look, and said, "Then why didn't you compile it? There are so many erudite scholars throughout the ages, and their knowledge is deep enough, why didn't they compile it?"

Congshuang said aggrievedly: "It's not difficult in the first place. It has no meaning other than the surname. From the beginning to the end, there is only the surname. There is no story in it, and there is no reason to teach people..."

Cui Jie sighed: "Congshuang, you have to understand that this article is only for children's enlightenment. What is the most important thing for enlightenment? It is reading and writing, and word recognition. This article captures this point."

"Three or four years old, four or five years old, those children are still ignorant and ignorant. If you teach them stories and principles at such a young age, can they understand? It is better to teach them to read and write first, and leave the principles behind. If you teach again, you will get twice the result with half the effort, this is the meaning of the hundred surnames."

Cong Shuang looked at her strangely, and said, "Girl, don't forget, it is said that the hundred surnames were created by the dandy of the Li family. Do you... like this "Hundred Family Surnames" very much?"

Cui Jie was startled, her face flushed instantly, but she put on a pretty face and said coldly: "Who said I like it? I'm just discussing the facts. A good article is a good article. What does it have to do with the person who compiled it?"

Cong Shuang said nervously: "It doesn't matter if a girl likes a hundred family names, don't like the person who compiled it, he is a well-known villain in Chang'an City, if this slave and maid accompany you to marry, I'm afraid I won't live until the day when I die .”

Cui Jie hesitated to speak, but she had no choice but to follow Congshuang's way: "Don't worry, I won't like that person, he, he... I won't buy or eat any fish I catch."

Cong Shuang was taken aback: "Did he...catch fish?"

"Girl, don't be impulsive. One matter is one matter. He may not like him, but the fish he catches are innocent. Fish can be bought and eaten."

Cui Jie laughed, and poked her head bitterly: "You are spineless!"

…………

In late autumn, the weather is getting colder.

A guest came to Ganjingzhuang that day.To be precise, it was a guest and countless followers.

The guest was wearing a very ordinary silk shirt, the jade belt around the waist was shining, a jasper hairpin was inserted obliquely in the topknot, and a blue gemstone on the hairpin was even more valuable, obviously the identity of the guest was either rich or noble.

The guests brought quite a few entourages, about a hundred or so, all well-dressed. Compared with the army, although the number of this team is not large, the division of labor is very clear.

There are scouts in the team to explore the way, forwards to open the way, Chinese troops to surround the nobles, and logistics to the rear.

It seems that there are only a hundred people, but this team has the momentum of a hundred thousand troops marching to the battlefield.

The guest's name is Li Zhi.

Leaving Chang'an this time is to decompress and relax.

The last time Li Zhi was in a coma in the Taiji Palace, he almost died. If Li Qinzai hadn't rescued him at the meeting, all states and counties in the Tang Dynasty should hang white flags and set up mourning halls at this moment, and the whole country would mourn together.

Li Zhi's life was a fluke, and the emperor was the kind of person who cherished his life the most. More than anyone else, he longed for his long live.

After being rescued this time, Li Zhi felt scared after thinking about it. After calling the imperial physicians for a consultation, the imperial physicians gave advice.

The emperor's wind disease is caused by years of stagnation and numerous state affairs. If he wants to take good care of his body, it is best to rest for a while, or go out of Chang'an City to travel for a few days.

The mood is relaxed, the pressure is reduced, and the condition is mild.

The imperial physician's suggestion was still very reasonable, Li Zhi accepted the advice immediately, and left all the major political affairs to Empress Wu, and then left Chang'an City in a light car, traveling all the way east to relax.

These days, Li Zhi traveled to many cities in Guanzhong, from the nearby Jingyang County, Lantian County, to Weinan County a little further away, and the customs and customs along the way made Li Zhi linger.

Miraculously, after traveling for these days, Li Zhi found that his condition has indeed eased a lot. In the past, he would suffer from dizziness for a while every day, but it has also been greatly relieved in the past few days.

Overjoyed, Li Zhi immediately decided to play for a few more days.

It's a pity that Li Zhi is not a faint king, and he can't travel around the world like other emperors. At most, he can only travel in a few counties and towns around Chang'an City.

When he arrived in Weinan County, Wang Changfu, Li Zhi's personal servant, told him that Li Qinzai, the grandson of the British prince who had saved his life, happened to be in the Zhuangzi outside Weinan County.

Li Zhi was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately ordered to move Ganjingzhuang.

There was no definite destination for traveling in Guanzhong, and it counts wherever you go. Li Zhi still has a good impression of Li Qinzai. At this time, he is not far from the Zhuangzi of the British Duke, so he naturally wants to take a look.

So Li Zhi and the forbidden guards appeared outside Ganjingzhuang, very suddenly.
