After the prosperous Tang Dynasty

After retracting his eyes, Li Tan's eyes seemed to be dignified for a moment, but then drifted away.

"Third brother?" Li Wenning turned to look at him.

"It's nothing," Li Tan shook his head with a smile, and the three of them walked towards the palace where they lived in a leisurely manner, "I just heard a slight movement over there, presumably it was a bird that was awakened by accident at night. sparrow!"

Li Wenning had no doubts about him. After getting the answer, he naturally didn't ask any more questions.

As for Li Chu next to him, he was still thinking about the fact that Li Tan seemed to be quite depressed in the Huaqing Palace these days. Looking lonely, I couldn't bear it in my heart, so I simply asked Li Tan with a smile: "Do you want to come to live with big brother tonight, and we will go out together tomorrow morning."

Li Tan was slightly stunned, knowing that Li Chu was afraid that he would be confused, so he shook his head with a smile and said, "No need, brother, don't worry about me."

Li Chu saw that his smile did not look too forced at this time, so he gave up a little bit.

Li Wenning looked around, and finally felt a little relieved.

The three separated in front of the courtyard gate, and each returned to their own residences.

After Li Tan entered the room, he sat on the bed, but couldn't help but recall what happened tonight again.

At this time, it is not surprising that Gao Lishi is not accompanied by the saint. After all, the saint may be with Concubine Yang, but Gao Lishi did not go back to his own residence, but went out alone, but he did not know what was going on. Purpose……

Li Tan had no doubt that all actions of Gao Lishi were ordered by Xuanzong, but Xuanzong had doubts about the East Palace, but he had to defend it many times because of the overall situation.

Whether his father, Prince Li Heng, was moved by Xuanzong's incomprehensible asylum, Li Tan had no choice, but at least, Prince Li Heng was very satisfied with Zhang, who was about to become the trusting prince Liangdi. ...

However, the current situation, for Li Tan, who was particularly insecure when he was a child, always has a somewhat uncertain protection, which makes him feel even more uneasy.

Sitting there, thinking about it for a while, Li Tan suddenly remembered the anxiety and uneasiness in his heart that he had only confided to Xiao Yansui before he left Chang'an City with his grandfather. feeling.

Li Tan knows that Xiao Yansui is a person who has many secrets and is very good at keeping them. Such a normal presence seems a little weak, but when it is this late at night and people can't help but think about their thoughts, her existence is also very important. It became particularly prominent, the kind of calmness that seemed like an outsider, which made him involuntarily want to get closer, seeking a little bit of peace that did not bring comfort in her, as a comfort that reassured him...

The hairpin inlaid with gems from the Western Regions that he bought from the West Market in Chang’an before had no chance to be delivered to the owner he thought would be a perfect match, and Li Tan kept it in his study all the time—of course he didn’t. He would carry this kind of women's accessories with him, but at this moment, he couldn't help recalling many details.

Li Tan got up from the bed, turned around and sat in front of the desk, and slowly studied the ink, trying to calm down his thoughts as much as possible.

However, when he finally wrote down a letter to Xiao Yansui under the light of the flickering candlelight, he couldn't help laughing for a while.

I'm afraid it will be difficult for this letter to be delivered to the person I want to send it to...

After a brief silence, Li Tan continued to write, and did not give up until he finished writing the letter that was destined to be undeliverable, and then destroyed it by himself, and only sealed it in his own memory.

However, after doing such a futile effort, his mood quickly calmed down, he lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and slept soundly all night.

·

Although it has already entered October, the temperature in the south of the Yangtze River has not dropped much. It is still after a continuous autumn rain that finally blows away a little bit of the warm breath.

When it clears up after the rain, the sky is blue, the clouds are light and the wind is light, only the scorching sun hangs high, as if it wants to burn the last residual heat on the leaves that have just been washed by the rain.

In the rebuilt house, Xiao Yansui had already tried the floor heating requested by him, and the effect was extraordinary, but within a few days, the moisture in the new house was swept away.

Of course, in such an autumn when the sun is high, the fire in the house is directly set on fire. Even if the most prominent problem of humidity in the Jiangnan water town is solved, this house must still be uninhabitable.

When Xiao Yansui came to check the situation that day, his grandfather Xiao Song also wandered over from his main courtyard.The beagle from the northwest frontier, did not know where it touched, but it happened to come with Xiao Song.

"Ah Weng!" Hearing Xiao Song's voice, Xiao Yansui turned around and greeted him. At the same time, the figure of the beagle following Xiao Song also came into her eyes.

The beagle has almost grown up now, with strong limbs and a heroic posture, especially when it runs, it is as lively as a gust of wind.

After getting to know Xiao Yansui thoroughly in the old house of the Xiao family, the grown-up beagle no longer obediently lay on the soft cushions in the study to accompany Xiao Yansui every day, but wandered around the house, even bringing The other three aborigines who were quite homely all ran around after it.

It's just that today, the fur on the beagle's body seems to be a little damp - looking at the current moisture content of the fur, Xiao Yansui couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly. If she guessed correctly, this grown-up beagle is just now. Jumped into the pool to take a shower, then came out to shake your hair and come over...?

Xiao Song explained with a smile: "Yesterday there was an autumn rain, and the weather was sultry. I heard from Axiu that you were reading in the study, and Ah Weng didn't bother you. When this little fellow went fishing with Ah Weng, some fish caught Floating on the upper surface of the water, it saw it, jumped into the river, and brought up a fish for me after a while, but it was clever."

Xiao Yansui: "..."

She couldn't help looking at the beagle with a complicated mood. Yesterday, when she saw the fish crowded together on the upper surface of the water, it was just self-taught to hunt. This kind of hunting instinct should be the hunting instinct of a hound, but Xiao Song's age I'm getting older, and I'm sure I won't be able to go hunting on horseback, so it's more appropriate to calm down and go fishing...

The beagle wagged its tail and squatted beside it with a cute face.

Seeing this, Xiao Yansui couldn't help thinking that there shouldn't be too many rivers and lakes in the northwest area, and this beagle has actually mastered the ability to catch fish by itself, which is amazing...

What Wang Zhongsi said at the beginning was to pick a good hound for her, and Xiao Wu, the soldier who delivered the letter later, also said that he couldn't find another such good hound at that time. I didn't coax her, but it was really honest.

After a pause, Xiao Yansui couldn't help but asked with concern: "I jumped into the water yesterday, why did I get all the hair on my body wet again today?"

After a brief silence, Xiao Song replied with a smile: "...I just came here. When I passed the lotus pond, I couldn't see it. There were koi swimming on the water, and the beagle jumped in again, but was quickly caught I called it back and didn't let it catch the koi."

Xiao Yansui originally wanted to say, it's okay, if it likes to eat, let it catch it!But after thinking about it, although Xiao Song has never been in the habit of admiring the lotus leaf koi, after all, it is a thing for viewing at home, and the meat is not delicious, so it is better not to let the beagle dive in the yard every day. ...

Putting aside the problem of the beagle, Xiao Song's eyes turned to the glass of the window. Because of old age and returning to the hometown for retirement, there is always a little smile in the eyes, which seem to be more loving, and a trace of sympathy flashed in an instant. Surprised meaning.

Of course Xiao Song knew about glass products, but he never expected that when he let his granddaughter toss about in this rebuilt yard, she would tinker with such things.

"It's different from that kind of glassware," Xiao Yansui knew what his grandfather wanted to express without Xiao Song asking.The glass in the Tang Dynasty at this time was mostly high-lead glass or alkali glass. As glass equipment, the gloss and transparency are somewhat similar. It is similar to the silicate glass that Xiao Yansui has been tinkering with in terms of chemical composition. In fact, there is a big difference.

"It's made of quartz sand." Xiao Yansui didn't explain the method of making the glass in detail. After all, Xiao Song himself didn't know much about physical chemistry, so he simply said that he made the glass himself. At that time, the problem of raw materials required.

"They're all common things..." Xiao Song sighed, and couldn't help walking forward to take a closer look at the almost completely transparent glass window.

For a while, Xiao Song never thought that glass could be used for anything other than a vessel, but just this bright window was enough to brighten his eyes.

"The cost is actually very cheap." Xiao Yansui added calmly.

The beagle had never seen glass before, so he couldn't help but let out a loud "bark" next to him, expressing his excitement.

Xiao Yansui subconsciously reached out and touched its head, and the wet fur was directly stained with water on the palm.

However, when Xiao Song was about to walk into the room and continue to observe the glass window curiously in another direction, he was subconsciously taken a step back by the heat coming from the room, "This—"

"Going to the tide..." Xiao Yansui reached out to support his grandfather Xiao Song, and blinked innocently.

The "floor heating" that started burning in October, the temperature in the room is simply obvious. If you have to observe the effect, Xiao Yansui actually doesn't want to go in...

On the contrary, Xiao Song, after the initial astonishment, took a closer look and did not find the existence of the stove, he was even more emotional, "If it is cold in winter, this house will be considered useful. "

"Well," Xiao Yansui nodded, "But I just want to get rid of the moisture first, and the temperature will come down in two days..."
