The next morning.
The Li Residence was already bustling with activity at daybreak because the owners were moving today. However, it couldn't be said that they were moving because Madam Li, Old Man Li, and the rest were only going to Cloud Mountain to stay for a while. They would return when the time came. Moreover, there were limited rooms in Cloud Mountain, so they didn't bring any maids or servants this time. They only picked some clothes and daily necessities.
"Haha! Old Master, we can finally see what Xuan 'er's academy is like with our own eyes! "
Madam Li finished washing up and came to the front yard. She smiled happily as she watched the maids load her clothes into the carriage.
Li Jingmo pursed his lips and said, "Madam, you weren't willing to go to Cloud Mountain to stay for a while. Now you're willing?"
Madam Li rolled her eyes at her husband and said reproachfully, "Don't you know why I didn't go before? Wasn't it because I wanted to hold a grandson earlier? Now that Xuan 'er is forcing us to go, how can we not go? "
Li Jingmo smiled and said, "Heh! Madam, you're most likely thinking too much! In my opinion, Xuan 'er and the rest aren't anxious about children at all. It's useless for you to be anxious here! "
Madam Li reached for the soft flesh on Li Jingmo's waist and pinched hard. She said angrily, "I'm anxious? You're not anxious? Xuan 'er isn't your biological son? You don't want to hold a grandson? Hmm? "
"Aiyoyo! Your husband also wants to hold a grandson! But it's useless for your husband to be anxious! Madam, let go of me and be reasonable! "
The maids and servants in the distance all held back their laughter when they saw this scene. Then, they looked elsewhere.
"Old Master, Madam, the luggage is all packed!"
After a while, Madam Li's personal maid, Qing 'er, came over and bowed. However, the little girl's eyes seemed to be a little misty.
"Ah, good, good, good!"
Madam Li responded first. Then, she noticed that Qing 'er's expression was not right. She had lived for most of her life and understood the crux of the matter with a little thought. Hence, she went forward and patted Qing' er's shoulder with a smile.
"Qing 'er, I'm going to Cloud Mountain with Old Master this time. There's limited space there, so I didn't bring you all. Besides, aren't Xiao He, Xiao Xi, and the rest there? With them around, Old Master and I will have plenty of people to take care of us. You and the others should stay at home! "
Qing 'er said with tears in her eyes, "Master, Madam, please take good care of yourselves!"
Mrs. Li smiled gently and said, "I will, I will!"
After that, he beckoned Wang Zhong over and said, "Steward Wang, I'll leave everything in this estate to you. If anyone comes to look for Master and Little Xuan, just tell them that we've been in Cloud Mountain recently!"
Wang Zhong bowed and said, "Don't worry, Old Madam. Within this month, the entire residence will be safe and sound!"
Mrs. Li smiled and nodded. Then, she and Li Jingmo boarded the carriage together. Pang Feiji personally drove the carriage, and the 48 Marquises, oh, no, it should be the 48 personal guards, followed closely behind. The group of people majestically left Yongle Lane and headed towards the east gate of Chang 'an City.
…
"Brother, why are you up so early today?"
In the Cloud Mountain residence, Li Zexuan had also woken up early. However, he happened to meet Lan 'er, who was entertaining herself downstairs.
Yesterday, he had rushed back to Cloud Mountain overnight. To be honest, after staying here for so long, he really couldn't bear to leave. Firstly, it was because the environment here was beautiful. It lacked the hustle and bustle of Chang 'an City, and it was more like an otherworldly paradise. Secondly, it was because the beds in the Cloud Mountain residence were really comfortable!
Of course, when he came back last night, he couldn't help but bring the little clingy Lan 'er over. When the little girl heard that she would be staying here for the next month, she was very excited. No matter what, she wanted to come over overnight to experience the living environment here in advance.
The little girl's bedroom was arranged on the first floor. Mrs. Li and Old Man Li were arranged to be on the second floor, while he and Han Yuxi were on the third floor.
"Haha! Lan 'er, did you sleep well here last night? If not, I'll send you back to Chang 'an today! "
Li Zexuan looked at his little sister and said with a smile.
"Of course it was comfortable! Stupid brother, Lan 'er doesn't want to go back to Chang' an. Lan 'er will stay here forever! Hmph! "
Lan 'er pouted and snorted.
"Haha! Fine, fine, fine! Little sister, you can stay here for as long as you want to! "
Li Zexuan smiled dotingly, then shook his head and walked to the backyard.
"Brother, why are you going to the backyard?"
Lan 'er's eyes were sharp. She saw that Li Zexuan was going to the backyard with a sword, so she quickly chased after him and asked.
"Haha! Nothing much, I just want to make a little toy! "
"What little toy? Lan 'er wants to play too! "
"Haha, Lan 'er, you'll know when you come and see!"
…
In the rear courtyard, the brother and sister walked to a small bamboo forest in the corner of the east wall. Li Zexuan picked for a long time before finally choosing a bamboo with a very round end. He waved his sword and lightly chopped at it, and the bamboo fell to the ground with a sound. Then, he cut it neatly and quickly, and only took the bamboo stick that was about a foot long in the middle.
"Brother, can this bamboo be played loudly?"
Lan 'er asked at this moment.
Li Zexuan smiled and replied, "Of course, and it can be played very loudly!"
"Hehe! Then brother, quickly make one for Lan 'er! "
That's right, Li Zexuan wanted to make a whistle. In his opinion, how could military training not have a whistle? Moreover, he planned to develop football, basketball, and other sports in the future. No matter what, he needed a whistle!
However, there was no plastic in this era, so he could only use bamboo. Fortunately, he had made many whistles with bamboo when he was young in his previous life, so he was quite experienced.
The structure of this thing seemed to be quite simple, but there were still some technical difficulties. If he didn't understand it, he might not be able to make a sound.
Li Zexuan cut a section of the bamboo. One end of the section was left in a closed state, and the other end was cut open to be used as a blow hole. At a position half an inch away from the blow hole, he made a 45-degree opening.
When many people reached this point, they probably couldn't wait to blow. In fact, at this time, if they blew hard, there would be a sound. However, this wasn't a real whistle, but a kind of sound similar to the whistling of the wind. The sound was still very weak.
In order to make the sound louder, he just needed to add a block at the blow hole. Half of the block had to be empty (there was no doubt about this, right? If it was all blocked, how could he blow?). After the block was added, he could continue to adjust it until he liked the sound.
"Okay, Lan 'er, give it a try?"
Li Zexuan adjusted it for a long time. After making the sound sharper, he handed it to Lan 'er and said.
"Hehe! Thank you, brother! "
Lan 'er got a new toy, and her mouth was sweet.
Li Zexuan smiled and continued to make the second, third, and fourth whistles.
