All the members are in love with the group, and the cub is causing trouble in the Tang Dynasty.

In the main hall of Liangyi Hall, Yuan Erlang demonstrated to Li Shimin how to hold a charcoal pencil and talked to him about the production process.

"First it was Chen Na's eldest niece. She was just learning calligraphy. She always felt that the handwriting didn't look good because the pen tip was too soft and disobedient. So she wanted to make a hard pen."

"She tried chicken feathers dipped in ink, but it was not satisfactory. Then she tried using charcoal, but the charcoal was brittle."

"Later, she told Yuan Bao'er about the problem. Yuan Bao asked her to use mud. The eldest lady of the Chen family tried adding charcoal to mud, but she still couldn't get it right."

"So she asked for help from Chen's son who loved to delve into carpentry. Chen went to Yuan Bao'er again and found out that mud refers to clay, which is the clay used to make calligraphy molds in Hongwenguan printing shop. The clay is mixed with carbon powder and baked. Made into the current charcoal pencil."

"This kind of pen is different from ordinary brushes, so the way to hold it is also different."

During the time when the children were traveling, Yuan Erlang had already used charcoal to draw a lot of drawings of utensils, and he was already using them smoothly.

He demonstrated it to Li Shimin. Although Li Shimin couldn't get used to it all at once, he also understood the convenience of this pen.

Yuan Erlang added: "It's not easy to erase even if it's written on. It's just that when used together with the new smooth paper made in the papermaking workshop, the effect is better."

After Yuan Erlang left, Li Shimin went to the side hall with his hands behind his back, and saw Yuchi Jingde and Yuan Yuan leaning together, their heads drooped, listening to Yu Shinan's lecture opposite.

And as long as Yu Shinan turns around, you push me, I pat you, and they do small movements.

At this time, Yu Shinan suddenly turned his head and became even more angry when he saw the two people's actions.

"You are so stubborn!!!"

“I have said so much, but you didn’t listen to even a single word???!!!”

Yuan Yuan clasped his two little hands together and raised his head to peek at him.

Seeing that the old man didn't speak, the little boy quickly reported: "I heard a lot of words!"

After saying that, she shook her head and started to recite: "You will indulge when you are young, but you will regret it when you are old!"

"In the 11th year of the Great Cause, I went to the south of the Yangtze River and saw a childish and intelligent boy. But many years later..."

"Three years of martial virtue, I'm my disciple..."

"In the seventh year of martial virtue, I traveled to the east of the river..."

With a loud voice, he repeated what the old man had just said, and even gave Yuchi Jingde a slap in the face happily.

Li Shimin, who was peeking behind the shelf, laughed.

Yu Shinan was really angry and relieved.

Such a smart and good young lady, I don't know if he will live to see her grow up.

She grew up to be a talented female scholar who lives up to her talent.

He will be seventy this year... ah no, he will be seventy next year. He will be seventy years old if he lives an extra day. He is a gambler to God.

But the child is only over three years old.

Yu Shinan told the children with a straight face not to skip classes without any reason, and left with a sigh.

Li Shimin walked into the side hall and couldn't help but ask Yuchi Jingde: "Why did you skip class today?"

Yuchi Jingde snorted: "On the way back yesterday, some people said they didn't want to go to school when they returned to Chang'an. They also said that if she goes to school, I must rescue her and go to Sifanglou to eat sheep together."

He glanced at the guilty little kid and snorted again.

"I, Yuchi Jingde, keep my word and never betray my brothers."

Yuan Yuan felt even more guilty. She covered her chubby face with her two little hands and her eyes rolled around.

At this time, the chamberlain came over and informed: "Your Majesty, Duke Su and Duke Yi want to see you."

Li Shimin was a bit speechless: "How about I, the two Yi Palaces, gather you sworn brothers together???"

Yuan Yuan's eyes shone: "Yeah, yeah, okay!!!"

Yuchi Jingde shrank his neck and did not dare to speak.

Cheng Yaojin and Qin Shubao were originally waiting for Yuchi Jingde and Yuan Yuan at the palace gate. They agreed that Yuchi Jingde would pick up the little boy after the court was over, and they would go to the Sifang Building for a dinner together.

But I waited around and no one came, so I had to come over and have a look. The two went to Hongwen Hall first. They heard that Yuan Yuan came to Liangyi Hall, so they came over.

Li Shimin was not happy, so he caught the two of them and reprimanded them: "Is this palace the back garden of your house? Can you come and go at will when not on duty? This is how the power of the Twelve Guards General is used?? If you can't find anyone, Come to Liangyi Hall and ask???"

The Liangyi Hall is located in the inner dynasty, where the emperor and clan members gather for discussions and where officials retreat and receive officials. Because it is located in a forbidden area, only a few ministers can enter to discuss state affairs with the emperor. It is also the second largest hall in Taiji Palace.

Three people, one big and one small, stood in a row, their heads hanging down, listening to Li Shimin's scolding.

After Li Shimin's output, the four of them looked at him at the same time, then lowered their heads and sighed.

There was silence in the hall for a while. Yuan Yuan took out a small purse from the small cloth pocket on his waist and handed it to Li Shimin.

"Uncle Erlang, I'm here to give you a gift!"

I’ve given out new varieties of candies to everyone this morning, so of course the target of the mission must also have them! ! !

Li Shimin took it, feeling a little regretful that he had spoken too harshly just now.

Opening the purse, there were a few milky-white sugars as thick as a little finger.

“My sister made the White Rabbit candy, it’s so delicious!!!”

Li Shimin felt even more uncomfortable. This was not just a few candies, but Xiaoer's sincerity!

She skipped class and instead of running away, she turned around and gave him candy, but he still wanted to be cruel to her.

He pinched one and stuffed it into his mouth: "It's delicious."

Yuan Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

Yuchi Jingde and others took advantage of His Majesty's guilt and quickly resigned and took the little boy to eat sheep.

Li Shimin returned to the main hall with a small purse filled with sweets. Zhang Ananda was putting the hot tea sent by the Food Bureau on the imperial desk and said warmly: "Your Majesty, please drink some tea."

On the imperial table was Li Shimin's usual tea set. When he opened the lid of the tea bowl, steam came out.

"When I was young, I always wanted to grow up quickly, but when I reach middle age, I still envy my children's sincerity."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the purse on Zhang Anan's waist was exactly the same as the one in his hand.

Zhang Ananda followed his gaze and quickly explained: "It's the purse that Princess Yongchang gave to me just now. There are several chamberlains in the palace who often play dice with the little princess."

Li Shimin looked at the purse in his hand again, swallowing half of the emotion he just felt.

After leaving the palace, Yuan Yuan received a small gift from the palace gate general Qian Bao. It was a beautiful brocade handkerchief bought for her by the defenders who had eaten beggar's chicken in the morning.

By the way, I asked the little princess to order a batch of beggar's chicken and milk tea.

After all, Yuan Ji's shop is booming, and you can't buy it without any means.

Yuan Yuan nodded solemnly.

The four of them took a carriage to Sifanglou.

Yuchi Jingde was educated twice in the morning and was a little listless.

Cheng Yaojin was very happy. They hadn't seen each other for many days, and he kept teasing the little kid all the way.

Qin Shubao looked on with a smile. He had gone out to transport food and had only been back for two days.

Entering the private room, I found that the shopkeeper had thoughtfully changed all the furnishings in the four foodie rooms.

Originally it was dignified and elegant, in line with the aesthetics of a wealthy family.

Now it has been replaced with colorful ones, a bright style that the little kid loves.

"Wow!!! It's so beautiful!!!"

Yuan Yuan happily ran around in the private room.

The three middle brothers also laughed.

Qin Shubao said gently: "The shopkeeper is very thoughtful."

The shopkeeper smiled with a smile on his face: "The princes have been taking care of the business of the shop, and the young ones are just reciprocating the favor. It is the shop's honor to win the princess's love."

***********The following is non-text********

Borrow a place to report a mistake.

I'm very sorry for everyone. The background of Qin Shubao recorded in my notebook is that he was named General Zuowuwei after the Xuanwu Gate Mutiny, and he was posthumously named Hu Guogong after his death in the 12th year of Zhenguan.

So when I mentioned him before, I always called him General Qin.

But in fact, in the fourth year of Wude, Qin Shubao was named Yi Guogong by Li Yuan for his meritorious service. After his death, he was named Hu Guogong. I missed this when I checked the information.

Therefore, the three second brothers are all Dukes of the country, and several places in the previous article have been changed.

But in order to avoid confusion, most of the time I still appear by my first name. Guogong only occasionally appears in conversations and is used as an honorific for others.
