Surprise at three quarters

Compared with Pei's house in Chang'an, Duanduan and Chongyang prefer the courtyard in Luoyang.

Although the yard is not as big as Pei's, there is also a nice garden. The most important thing is that here, they can go wherever they want without being restricted.

Children are very curious, and they are full of desire to explore the world. But in the past, their parents never allowed them to go outside the garden, and there were no suitable playmates around them. No matter how bold the two children are in front of close people, There is always some timidity about the outside world.

But it took only half a month to return to Li Qianjin's side, because I often ran around with her, but I developed a lot of courage and a more cheerful temperament.

Most importantly, Princess Xinxing also picked four or five boys with a similar age difference from her own family and sent them to accompany them.For Duanduan and Chongyang, who used to be only companions, this is really something new.

So after they came to Chang'an, they were completely immersed in the new environment, bringing their playmates to tease cats and dogs every day, and they were not idle at all.

Because Li Qianjin felt guilty, he didn't restrain them for the time being, but told them to follow carefully and not to bump into each other.

As a result, the two children became more and more lawless.

As the weather got hotter, Yuan Xiao moved to the courtyard where Li Qianjin used to live in the garden.The flowers and trees here are in harmony with each other, and the trees are full of shadows. Even in summer, it is very cool, and it is most suitable for reading.

This afternoon, Yuan Xiao planned to take a nap, but was woken up not long after he lay down.

A child's voice sounds crisp and pleasant when the volume is normal, but once it gets out of control, it will appear too sharp and make people's brain hurt.Yuan Xiao opened his eyes, sat up in a daze, stepped on clogs and walked to the door, saw the scene in the room at a glance, and immediately woke up from sleepiness.

Children of how old naturally don't know the seriousness, and they are still at the stage of wanting to try everything they see.It is conceivable that Yuan Xiao's study, which he had put so much effort into arranging, is not only completely changed, but also completely messed up.

The exquisite pottery and glass placed on the shelves were shattered all over the floor, the neatly stacked books on the table were scattered everywhere, and papers were flying everywhere.As for the ink that was spilled on the ground, it had already stained the surrounding books and the ground black.

And the two children were lying on the ground, holding a brush in one hand, dipped in ink and scribbled on the ground, and a few companions whispered their ideas beside them.

Although he knew that it was because he didn't lock the door properly, and he couldn't blame these ignorant children, but seeing this scene, Yuan Xiao really couldn't calm down.

Seriously, she didn't arrive. She is still a child in modern times. Although she has experienced many things after getting that book, her temperament is far from calm.The experience of being demolished by a bear child like this is really unbearable.

Seeing Yuan Xiao appear, the children obviously realized that they had done something bad, they quickly put away the pens in their hands, got up and stood obediently.

At this stop, it was discovered that the fabrics on their bodies were also stained here and there by ink.Most of the colors can't be washed off, so the clothes will probably be reimbursed directly.

It's just that Yuan Xiao also knew what was on Li Qianjin's mind, if it happened directly, it might frighten the child.She thought about it, and felt that this matter had to be solved fundamentally, otherwise it was her who was harmed today, and she didn't know where it would be tomorrow.

After calling in the servants to ask, she realized that her thoughts were not alarmist.

In fact, before this, this group of children had already ruined a lot of things in the family. If this continues, they probably won't be able to take it anymore.

The children have almost reached the age where seven-year-old and eight-year-old dogs would hate them. If no measures are taken, they will soon be out of control.But in this era, it is too easy to raise a dude. Although Yuan Xiao and the others hope that Li Qianjin can have her own life, they never want her to finish her own business. Looking back, the child has been raised and disabled. Not coming back.

To deal with this kind of child, it is definitely the best way to catch and sit in the classroom and study.

As soon as he thought of it, Yuan Xiao ordered the study to be tidied up again, and brought new pens and inks,

Then he called a group of children who were punished to stand, "Since you like pen and ink, I will teach you how to write today."

Duanduan is six years old this year, and he has reached the age of enlightenment.In the past, Li Qianjin was afraid that he would disturb Pei Shaojun's study, so he always took them away from the study.Although he himself has a good command of poetry and books, all he has learned is the way of elegance. Apart from teaching the children to recite some ancient poems and rhyme and rhyme, he only tells stories about ancient people, but he has never taught handwriting.Chongyang is younger, so there is no need to mention it.

As for the others, they are all family members, and they can only learn these things with the permission of the master, and they have never learned them.

She didn't know that she was about to end her carefree childhood and enter the dark and dark learning stage. The children were very excited when they heard what she said.

For children, a large part of the way to explore the world comes from imitating and learning from adults.And the more things are forbidden by adults, the more interested they are.

"Learning" is such a thing.

So now that they got permission, they regarded it as a new game and threw themselves into it with great interest.

Yuan Xiao was very satisfied with this, the monkeys calmed down, and she could rest for a while.Anyway, they nodded and were willing to learn. Even if they regret it in the future, she still has something to say.

However, we still need to talk to Li Qianjin about this matter.

Yuan Xiao found a servant and asked Li Qianjin what he was up to recently.I didn't ask if I knew it, but I found out that something seemed wrong when I asked.

The reason why these children are so lawless is because Li Qianjin has ignored them for several days.

Even if he messed up and did something wrong, and the servants reported it, Li Qianjin would only say "Understood", and had no intention of interfering at all.The people below didn't dare to make decisions, so they didn't stop them very much, so they became more and more bold, and finally ran into her study to mess around.

According to the servants, Li Qianjin has been very busy recently, leaving early and returning late every day.

This surprised Yuan Xiao very much.No matter how busy you are, you can always find time to watch your children.Li Qianjin took children so seriously, logically speaking, there should not be such negligence.

It's just that this kind of thing can't be explained to the servants.After Yuan Xiao settled the group of children, he followed the instructions of the servants to the incense shop of the Li family.

This is the place where floral dew is made, so you can smell a strong fragrance before entering the door.A single, very elegant taste, mixed together, and overly strong, can't help being a bit choking.There are many people coming and going in and out of the incense shop, busy, which shows the prosperity of the flower dew business.

But no matter how many people there are in the incense shop, no one dares to go to the small courtyard behind.That is the place where Li Qianjin conducts experiments. All the floral dew must be blended here to determine the best ratio before being sent to the front workshop for mass production.So what is hidden here is the biggest secret of the entire Xiangfang. Without permission, as long as you get a little closer, you will be noticed.

Yuan Xiao thought that Li Qianjin was really busy, so she deliberately relaxed her hands and feet, for fear that she would disturb her.

However, when he opened the door, he found that Li Qianjin was sitting in the yard in a daze.

Yuan Xiao walked towards her deliberately with heavy footsteps, and the sound did not wake her up.It wasn't until she sat down opposite Li Qianjin, and the other party's eyes swept over her, that she suddenly woke up.

"Why are you here?" Li Qianjinrong rubbed her forehead and asked.

There seemed to be a bit of nervousness on the face.

"I heard from the people below that you are so busy that you don't even have time to take care of your children, so let me see what you are busy with." Yuan Xiao said.

"It's just that there are some things I can't understand, so I want to find a quiet place to stay." Li Qianjin frowned slightly, and asked her again, "Is there nothing going on recently?"

"It's nothing serious, but Duanduan and Chongyang are about to demolish the house, I think we need to find something for the children to do. In fact, there is no harm in asking them to learn something from now on, what do you think?"

Li Qianjin's expression relaxed a little, and after thinking about it, he said, "Then let them learn something, but I'm afraid we won't be able to invite any famous teachers for a while, and we have to see how to arrange it."

"I just ask Her Royal Highness to introduce some well-educated scholars." Yuan Xiao said casually without thinking too much.

However, as soon as the words came out of her mouth, she noticed that Li Qianjin's expression changed slightly, and she seemed to start to get nervous again.

"You..." She opened her mouth to ask, but immediately realized that Li Qianjin didn't say anything, probably because it was not easy to ask.That being the case, she didn't have to delve into it.

So the question that came to his lips was swallowed back, and Yuan Xiao changed his words, "However, Her Royal Highness is busy with affairs and affairs, so it's not good to bother her with everything. It's just an enlightenment now, and the teacher shouldn't be hard to find. Ask nearby. Just one click."

Only then did Li Qianjin nod his head and said, "I'll ask someone to inquire about the famous monk nearby and invite him to my home."

"You just need to remember. By the way, is there any progress in your peony dew?" After talking about the business, Yuan Xiao couldn't help paying attention to Li Qianjin's work progress. ——The reason why she locked herself here was to develop the peony dew in the season.

"The ones made now are not satisfactory." Li Qianjin shook his head.Even she felt that there was something lacking, so naturally she didn't dare to take it out.

What's more, it's still going up.

"Although I really want to tell you not to worry, I'm afraid the princess will have to ask." Yuan Xiao said, "The flowering period is too short, so we really can't delay it."

Seeing that the expression on Li Qianjin's face was very bad, Yuan Xiao worried that she was under too much pressure, and said again, "It's really not possible, I suggest you to make soap first. That thing is easier than floral dew, and it's the only one on the market. Nothing."

"I've made a note." Li Qianjin responded, and said again, "The Son of Heaven will not come here until after autumn. There is still time. I will try to make floral dew first. If it really doesn't work, let's make soap."

Compared with Hualu's high profile, the pig farm invested and built by Li Qianjin seems a little quiet.At present, the first batch of pigs have not yet been slaughtered, and the production of soap and toilet soap has not been put on the agenda.But if it's just a little bit of progress, you can buy lard outside.

After saying a few more words, Yuan Xiao didn't dare to bother her too much, so she got up and said goodbye.

When she came out of the small courtyard, she looked at the soldiers guarding the courtyard gate, and suddenly a flash of inspiration came to her mind, and she realized what was so strange about Li Qianjin's behavior—she seemed to be hiding from the new princess.

Yuan Xiao couldn't help but turned his head and took a look in the yard, but it was inconvenient to ask this kind of question, so he had to suppress his doubts.

But she didn't know if she was thinking of something, she took a few steps outside, and met a group of people hurriedly approaching.Among them, the one walking in the middle is obviously a middle-ranking official, who should have been sent by Princess Xinxing.

Yuan Xiao paused, turned around and followed the group of people.

As expected, the middle officer was sent by the princess to ask about her research progress during this period.I heard that there is no progress for the time being, but instead of urging her like Yuan Xiao thought, she calmed her down so that she doesn't have to worry, even if she can't do it this year, she can wait for next year.If you have no idea, you might as well go out for a walk.

It was also said that someone in the princess' mansion brought in some excellent pots of peonies, invited her to come and enjoy them, and sent an invitation very formally.

But Li Qianjin, who would happily go there as soon as the princess summoned her before, rejected the invitation, saying that she already had some ideas, and the research was at an important time, and she was afraid that she would not be able to spare time to visit the other hall. Please forgive me, the princess. and so on.
