Royal rice bug, worm worm!

Li Xi bent his eyes, and emphasized "without selflessness": "Don't expect this to be over."

"Well, I won't go." It's agreed? Pursue again, and this is just an ordinary date.

"Afterwards, there will be a confession, and a marriage proposal." Wei Yu said.

"I still want to refuse." Li Xi bared her teeth and raised two fingers, "Twice."

Wei Yu smiled, "Okay."

Is Li Xi happy? Xiao Chong paw waved, "Go to Chang'anfang!"

The second stop of the date is Chang'anfang, where parrots are burned. Wei Yu prepared a surprise for his little gold bug.

As soon as he entered the gate of the workshop, Li Xi almost thought that he had come to the wrong place—is this still the dusty and poor Chang'an Square?

From the entrance of the workshop to the front of each house, beautiful three-color pottery figurines can be seen everywhere, and the thatched roof has been replaced with shiny painted pottery tiles. There is also a path paved with broken pottery on the ground, shining like colorful glazed bricks.

The children put on neat clothes, lined up at the door, followed the visiting guests one by one, and led them to their own kiln in a decent manner.

The old man waited at the door, untied the cows, horses, and camels of the guests one by one, and brought them to the shed to add water and feed them.

The ladies were not idle either, they set up a small stove, made noodles with mixed grains, a bowl of mutton soup, and two stone cakes. The guests from afar were satisfied with the food, and the ladies also made hard money.

The three-color pottery figurines, which were rough and inferior in the past and were mostly used as funerary objects, became the most sought-after items in Chang'an City under the leadership of Li Xi.

All these guests came for the three-color pottery figurines, merchants from the south, Persians covered with gems, and individual visitors from Chang'an City.

No matter what their status is, no matter what they wear, good or bad, all kilns greet them with smiles—this is the rule Li Yong set for them.

An Lebo, Li Yong, is now working in the household department.

He has been living in the eastern and western cities since he was a child, and knows a lot of businessmen from the south to the north. He is smooth, eloquent, and a man of action.

Wang Shangshu tried it twice, and not only was he not disappointed, he also got a surprise, so he let go and handed over the trade of three-color pottery to him.

Li Yong cherished this opportunity very much, and gathered all the people in Chang'anfang for a "pre-job training".

Because of the previous matter of blocking the gate, everyone refused to accept him, but after Li Xi was moved out, the potters began to listen to him.

Nowadays, when merchants from south to north mention Chang'anfang, who doesn't give a thumbs up?

When they heard that Li Xi was coming, the children were both nervous and excited, vying to lead the way for Li Xi.

In the end, they didn't agree, and someone suggested: "Fight, whoever wins will win!"

The ten-year-old boy took off his clothes—in order not to get dirty—and started beating him.In the end, the kid from the Mo family won and became the guide of Li Xi with honor.

The eyes of the other children are bitter and funny.

Mo boy is only 12 years old, but he is careful. He not only prepared fried soybeans for Li Xi, but also bought a lot of fried melon seeds in a very extravagant way - with his own money!

Li Xi readily accepted?

Boy Mo smiled happily, and he was happier than eating it himself.

Li Xi was also quite satisfied.

Nowadays, every kiln has business, and everyone is busy. Three-color pottery figurines come out of the kiln. If there is a slight flaw, the kiln owner smashes it without the guests asking.

All the three-color pottery figurines coming out of Chang'an Square must be exquisite and flawless; even if they are smashed?

This is also the rule set by Li Yong.

Because of this stubbornness, the three-color pottery figurines in Chang'an Square became famous in just a few days.

The merchants spontaneously gave it a name - Chang'an figurines.

The people in Chang'anfang finally lived a busy but happy life as Li Xi expected.

Sitting in the rest room, Li Xi drank the tea made by Wei Shaoqing himself and looked at the busy people outside. He couldn't be more satisfied.

Blowing on the tea foam, he gave Li Yong an appreciative look, "Well done."

Li Yong immediately knelt down, "Thanks to the lord's respect, Li Yong has the courage to show his loyalty to the lord—An Lebo's family, willing to be the saddle for the king of blessing? Empress, swear allegiance to the death!"

Li Xi was startled? He jumped, "I'm not rebelling, so why do you want your allegiance?"

"It doesn't matter if you are still a prince, or...something else, I, Li Yong, will follow you."

Li Xi waved his hand, "Don't, the whole capital knows that I am the number one dandy in Chang'an City, so is it possible that you want to be number two?"

"Although I, Li Yong, am a layman, I know what kind of master is worth following." Li Yong changed his slick and flattering appearance to a solemn expression.

"You think highly of me and are willing to promote me. This is a kindness; you care about the people and are willing to bring all the potters in the workshop together to make money. This is righteousness. The prince is so kind and righteous. Li Yong is willing to spend his life in front of the saddle? After that, I will never regret a hundred deaths!"

Li Xi: "..."

What's the matter with being a little touched?

"Sure, you just follow? I'll eat, drink, and burn the little pottery figurines. I'm the number one dude in Chang'an City, and you're number two. I can't give you anything else? You."

Li Yong was unsure, did he agree? Or didn't he agree?

"Uncle, drink tea." Wei Shaoqing poured out a cup and pushed it in front of him.

Li Yong took it with both hands, knowing it well.

The chess game has been set up, the hands holding the chess and the black and white chess pieces are all in place, whether Li Xi wants to or not, they are all in the game.

After drinking a cup of tea, Li Xi couldn't sit still anymore, "Is there still something interesting? If not, go somewhere else?"

Li Yong hurriedly said: "There is a kiln in the east, which belongs to our own family. Do you want to go and have a look?"

Li Xi suddenly became interested, "The one you opened with Brother Shu Yun?"

Li Yong hesitated for a moment, "...Yes."

In fact, it was Wei Yu who opened it on behalf of Prince Fu's Mansion, but Wei Yu said it? Li Yong didn't say much if he didn't let it go.

"Since Brother Shuyun opened it, you must go and see it!" Li Xi strode forward without thinking.

Wei Yu grabbed him, "That's Xi."

"I just... move my arms and legs." Little Fu Wang stomped on the spot twice, turned around as if nothing had happened, and walked east.

No embarrassment at all!

Soon, Li Xi laughed?

He saw a large brick kiln with a unique shape...

what is this?

Big ladybug?

It's still golden!

It has a round shell, a chubby body, golden wings, curved tentacles, and a few small claws made of glazed bricks on its side!

The potter was putting mud embryos into the worm's mouth, and the firewood was placed under the worm's belly. When the worm's mouth was closed, the fire burned, and smoke came from the worm's buttocks.

Li Xi laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her waist, "Don't tell me, this is your idea!"

"Do you like it, Chongchong?" Wei Shaoqing smiled, and slowly spit out two words.

Li Xi's smile froze?

Bugs?

Bugs? !

He looked at it stiffly? Look at the golden ladybug kiln, and then at himself...

"Wei Yu! I beat you!"

Xiao Fu Wang flung his teeth and claws, kicking and scratching.

Wei Shaoqing dodged calmly, and he was always able to hit Xiaofu Wang once or twice before he exploded.

Just like the big leopard squatting next to the ladybug, it doesn't talk much, but it is careful and thoughtful.

All the potters looked at it and laughed.

Just think, the golden and precious little Fu Wang is not at all as arrogant and high-spirited as the rumors say, on the contrary, he is like the younger brother at home, interesting and lovable.

The bad guy came in a hurry and said something in Wei Yu's ear.

Li Xi held his belt and looked at him with a half-smile.

Wei Yu paused for a moment, then looked at Li Yong.

Li Yong hurriedly said: "If grandpa doesn't dislike it, he can go to my house to rest. After passing? This? The door is not far away, and it's quiet."

Li Xi nodded, and the three of them left together.

Li Yong personally guarded the door.

Wei Yu said truthfully: "The bad guy said, someone followed? We, like the Jinyang Grand Princess's mansion."

Li Xi curled her lips, "Isn't it just for? My life experience, anyway, I can't hide it, let her investigate."

Wei Yu pursed his lips, his eyes darkened.

He promised that he would protect Li Xi and not let anyone take advantage of his background, but he broke his promise?

Li Xi knew what he was thinking when he saw it, "Don't be too stubborn, this is beyond your control. Who would have thought that Duo Duo looks so much like me? This is God's will!"

He smiled and said, "Not only will I not blame you, but I will reward you. Do you know why?"

Wei Yu laughed, "Yes, I know."

He didn't make his own claims, but told Li Xi the truth.

Will you not lie to him again in the future?

***

To the south of Chang'an Square is the most remote one in the southwest corner of Chang'an City - Yongyang Square.

It is said that there are several big rhinos living in Yongyang Square. Every time it rains, they will come out and rampage in the square.

The rhinoceros holds water, and the horns of the ox have spirits. The sage decreed that it should not be harmed at will, so the people in the workshop moved under the arrangement of the Chang'an county magistrate.

The terrain of Yongyangfang is low-lying, and it becomes extremely muddy during the rainy season, so there are not many people living there.

Now that the people in the square have all moved out, the few small earthen houses in Liao Liao have long been washed away by the water? There are overgrown bushes, pine forests, and ponds and puddles can be seen everywhere.

In order to prevent people from poaching rhinos, bad people take turns guarding the entrance of the square. No one can get in without the goldfish bag from Chang'an County Cheng.

The Chang'an county magistrate who was in charge of this matter back then happened to be Wei Yu.

The unscrupulous gatekeepers were all single-handedly picked up by him back then. See? He is respectful.

Li Xi rode a horse and swaggered into Yongyangfang.

Through the bushes, through small puddles, came to a dense pine forest.This place was originally a small temple, at least hundreds of years ago? Pine trees soared into the sky.

This is the third stop of today's date.

Wei Yu said that he had a secret to show Li Xi.

Li Xi looked around, "What about the secret?"

"I'm not called a secret." The spider lightly jumped down from the tree, with a free and easy smile on her lips.

Li Xi was dazed for a moment, and felt that the face in front of him was very familiar, as if he had seen it many years ago.

"Stupid?" Spider Spider laughed and patted his forehead.

"This time? I'm not going to dig a trap again, right?" Li Xi spoke with a smile.

The spider raised her eyebrows, "You go forward? Walk."

Li Xi wouldn't be fooled, so he broke off a branch and threw it in front.

The spider laughed at him: "Aren't you stupid? The branches are so light, even if there is a trap, you can't try it out."

As soon as the words were finished, a little squirrel was hit by a branch and jumped up angrily, wanting to fight Li Xi.Then, with a scream of "squeak", it fell into the trap.

Li Xi raised his chin, "Who is stupid?"

The spider clasped its fists, "Be willing to bow down."

Li Xi smiled with satisfaction.

He often wondered where the little sister who was sent away was, and whether she was good-looking. Is she as lively and hearty as the third sister, or is she as gentle and watery as the second sister, or as smart and strong as a spider.

"Spider spider, you can call me 'brother'!" Somehow, he said it suddenly.

The spider was startled for a moment, opened its mouth, and said, "I only bark when I want to bark."

Li Xi laughed, "It's just a brother, I'm older than you anyway."

"For me, it's not just 'brother'." Spider Spider muttered softly.

"What did you say?"

"I said, should I save the squirrel? If I don't fish it out, I will explode." The spider changed the subject, lying on the edge of the trap to pick up the little squirrel.

The little guy looked aggrieved, pawing? Her arm "squeaked".

"It's strange that I have to be afraid of people. So you raised it." Li Xi grabbed a pine cone and handed it to the little squirrel's paw. "This is an apology gift for you. Don't be angry."

The little guy hesitated? He took it with his little paw, was he forgiven? Xiao Fuwang.

Ever since the Zhuzhu family moved to Yongyangfang, they haven't felt uncomfortable at all, instead they feel like ducks in water.

Pugu Yayu grows flowers and vegetables every day, enjoying himself.

Is Qibi Namu still injured? I can’t get rid of it quickly, I can’t get rid of it? With a heavy bow, I help my wife plow and reclaim the fields, catch insects, and have a rare leisure time.

The spider spider's wish came true. There is a natural zoo with many chickens, ducks and squirrels. Occasionally, they will go to the swamp to see the big rhino.

Spider proudly takes Li Xi to visit.

Behind the pine tree was a small fluffy head with black skin, curly hair, and a pair of light brown eyes, alert and vigilant like wolf cubs.

"Are you still raising a little man?" Li Xi was surprised.

"That's my little brother." Spider Spider laughed and waved at the little guy, "Xiaobao, come here, this is Brother Fuwang who gave you the tendon bow."

Little Treasure turned around quickly, ran away papa papa?

He also ran like a little wolf, not even wearing shoes, just stepping on pine needles.

Li Xi felt sorry for him, "Is he... all right?"

"It's okay, it's been like this since I was a child, grandpa said he was made of iron, it won't break, it won't break, it won't hit?"

Spider Spider smiled heartily, and winked at him, "Don't take him for a fool, my little brother just doesn't like to talk, but he's really smart!"

"I see." Li Xi looked at the direction where the little guy disappeared, without any look of contempt.

Such eyes must have? A clean and sincere heart, how could he be a fool?

"Maybe I have to leave Chang'an?" Zhuzhu said suddenly.

Li Xi was startled, "Why?"

Spider Spider pursed her lips and looked at the ancient temple not far away.

In the quiet room, Wei Yu couldn't hide his surprise, "Are you going to Sumo River to join General Qibi?"

Qibi Namu nodded, "Did King Fu find it for us? Little princess, we, the Tie Le clan, will also fulfill our promise and be loyal to King Fu."

Wei Yu looked serious, "There's no need to go that far, and you can still use your strengths in Chang'an."

Qibi Namu smiled heartily and said, "It's not my style to stay at home and eat dry food. What King Fu needs is a warrior who can lead his troops to fight for him and guard the border, not hide in this deserted house and dense forest , the hunter who takes care of the flowers and plants every day."

Wei Yu was in awe.

Unaccustomed to be an eagle on the prairie, never broken by misery or ease.

"Ma'am going too?"

Pu Gu Yayu glanced at her husband and said, "I was born a slave. It was the princess who gave me my surname, which made me eligible to marry Tiele warrior. Now that I know that the little princess is safe, I feel relieved."

"I want to go to the Sumo River with my people, take back what belongs to us, and dedicate it to the little princess."

"We will take half of the Tiele people in Chang'an, and the other half will be sent by Wei Shaoqing."

Wei Yu asked: "Is the little county master going or staying?"

"Spider Spider decided to go with us." Pu Gu Yayu paused for a moment, and said, "Before I leave, I hope she can meet her relatives, if she is willing to stay in Fu Wang's Mansion..."

The following words were not spoken.

Because, reluctantly.

"I will arrange it, if you decide." Wei Yu said.

Not only the Kebi family has to make tough decisions, but so does he.

He can no longer hide it? Li Xi?

I can't hide it anymore.

Wei Yu walked out of the temple gate and saw Li Xi playing on the swing with the spider.

A dark "little savage" followed them, tying ropes, handing out canes, and jumping around like a small animal.

Occasionally, when Li Xi caught him, the little guy would bite him so lightly that the skin would not be broken.

Li Xi screamed exaggeratedly in pain, and the little guy grinned proudly, revealing a mouthful of small white teeth.

The spider is holding a small stick, training this, training that, not like a sister, but like a sister.

Someone is riding a horse, galloping to.

Still not standing still, he panicked and said: "The sage ordered that King Fu enter the palace immediately—Princess Jinyang Dachang joined hands with Minister Zongzhengsi to identify that King Fu is not the son of Prince Ding, and the witness...is Princess Ding."
