The woman carried her son and future daughter-in-law and practically floated out of the room. This time, Zhang Xiaobao did not continue to immerse himself in the warmth of having a mother in this life. He constantly communicated with Wang Juan with his eyes and occasionally used lip language. He wanted Wang Juan to cooperate with him and figure out what this place was like as soon as possible.
Wang Juan still had some contradictions in her heart. For the time being, she had not completely adapted to her new identity and was not used to being carried around by a young woman. When she saw Zhang Xiaobao's message, she suppressed the various emotions in her heart and began to memorize the surroundings, including the clothes on the people and the layout of the house.
These two could be said to be the elites of the previous world. At this moment, they were going to display all of their strengths and reflect the accumulation of knowledge and experience.
"Ancient times?" When he was carried out by his mother, Zhang Xiaobao mouthed to Wang Juan.
Wang Juan and Weiwei nodded and glanced at the table. Seeing two coins on it, she narrowed her eyes and carefully looked at them again. "If I'm not wrong, it should be the Tang Dynasty. I saw the money, Kaiyuan Tongbao. I don't know which dynasty it is."
At this time, the woman had already arrived at the door. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan looked at the situation outside again and found that they did not directly see the outside. There was a courtyard in front of them.
"Rich family? Manor owner? Official? Businessman? "Wang Juan saw this situation and immediately made a judgment.
"Not an official family. My mother, my mother doesn't have that kind of temperament. Based on what my mother said just now, the preliminary judgment is that there is a manor owner." Zhang Xiaobao analyzed and replied.
"Madam, why are you carrying two people? Quick, give me one. " Just as Wang Juan was about to express her opinion, a man's voice sounded. She thought it was the woman's husband. In the end, she saw an uncle in silk clothes around forty years old. According to her current age, she should call him grandfather. She immediately stopped talking and returned to the appearance of a child.
Zhang Xiaobao did the same. He looked at this person with a curious gaze, especially this person's eyes. He wanted to see if this person was lying or suppressing his mother. This person's identity was that of a housekeeper. According to his temper, if he saw the slightest hint of contempt for his mother in the eyes of this person who seemed to be a housekeeper, he would kill him.
"It's fine. The two children are not heavy and are comfortable to carry. Housekeeper Zhang, go do your work. Oh, today, everyone in the courtyard will be rewarded. Add a portion of meat for dinner." As soon as the woman mentioned the child, she smiled continuously. Naturally, she had to be happy with everyone in the courtyard.
"Yes, madam. You do your work. I'll go call someone to watch from the side. It's hot, hold an umbrella for the little master and little miss." Housekeeper Zhang respectfully responded. He lowered his head and quietly walked away without showing any disrespect. He did not know that this attitude had saved him from a fatal disaster.
The woman carried the two children and continued to walk forward. Before she reached the front of the courtyard, a young girl of the same age came to hold an umbrella for them, blocking the scorching sun outside. At this time, Cherries also handed a warm and wet handkerchief to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan to gently wipe their faces.
"Pomegranate, do you know where the master is?" The woman kissed Zhang Xiaobao's face and asked the girl holding the umbrella for her.
"Replying to madam, the master is studying in the study. During this time, the old madam and the old master should be enjoying the cool air under the tree in the front yard." Pomegranate obediently replied. She often served people, so she naturally knew what the madam meant. It was to let the family see the children.
The woman nodded. "En, then let's go to the front yard. Cherries, in a while, go tell the people who are building the back yard to not be lazy. Once it's done, let the old madam and the old master go back to live. It's not good for their status to always live in the front yard."
When she turned her head to look at the two children in her arms, she smiled again. Weiwei turned sideways and said, "Xiao Bao, Cuckoo, the one who just passed by is the housekeeper of our family's Zhuangzi. This maid is called Cherries, and the other is called Pomegranate. In a while, I'll let you see your grandfather and grandmother."
Then, without caring whether the two children could understand or not, she walked forward and taught the two children to speak. This was called a house. In the middle of the house was the door, and there were also windows and so on. When she came to the front yard and saw the two 'old people' sitting at the stone table under the big locust tree, she stopped talking and quickly walked forward.
"Qiao 'er, you're here. Quickly, let this old madam see our good grandson and granddaughter-in-law." When the old madam, who was sitting there and being served tea, saw the woman's figure, she immediately stood up and walked forward. While speaking, she reached out to take Zhang Xiaobao. She also complained, "Qiao 'er, it's so hot today. What if you're tired from carrying two children? In the future, let the servants do it. "
As she said this, she didn't have any intention of letting the servants help carry the children. She held Zhang Xiaobao with both hands and put him in front of her to look at. No matter how she looked at him, she couldn't get enough of him. The wrinkles at the corners of her eyes squeezed together, and her smile didn't disappear.
"I'm not tired. Who would feel tired carrying their own children? That's right, Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, Bao 'er can say' Mother 'now. He said it in the house just now. And Cuckoo, she calls me Mother-in-law. Come, Bao' er, say it again." Mother Zhang only remembered that she came here to make her father-in-law and mother-in-law happy together. She reached out to touch her son's chubby face and asked him to say it again.
"Mother." Zhang Xiaobao naturally wouldn't refuse. In this life, he was finally addicted to having parents. He was ready to say all the words that he hadn't said before. Then, without waiting for others to praise him, he said to the old madam who was holding him, "Grandmother."
Then, he turned his head to look at the old man who was also sitting there and looking over. He continued to say, "Grandfather."
This time, the old man couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up and walked quickly to his grandson. "Aiyo, my good grandson, let Grandfather see. Good, you're better than other people's grandsons. No one can compare to our family. Say it again for Grandfather to hear."
"Grandfather." Zhang Xiaobao carefully looked at his grandfather. In his heart, he thought that if he were to be washed away by the water again, this grandfather should be able to carry him to the shore.
"Grandfather, Grandmother." Wang Juan also shouted at this time. When seeing the old people, at the very least, she still had to show some respect.
When the two of them shouted, it immediately made everyone happy. The old madam took Wang Juan, and the old man hugged Zhang Xiaobao. They sat back together and praised their son, daughter-in-law, grandson, future granddaughter-in-law, and even the servants who served them. It seemed that everything was so beautiful.
On this day, they didn't feel hot, and they didn't feel irritated. Even the watchdog, who was usually not allowed to come close, could now lie under the tree and be praised together.
At this time, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were feeling the warmth while carefully listening to everyone's words. They observed the situation around them and analyzed their future living environment.
Especially when they heard their grandfather, grandmother, and mother talking about some trivial matters at home, the two of them listened even more carefully. They didn't stop lip-syncing.
"Who said that you're not an official? Don't you have a fief? There's also a hundred households' worth of food. " Wang Juan said to Zhang Xiaobao when she heard that Zhang Xiaobao's grandfather was worried that the fief that their ancestor fought for with his life would be taken back.
Zhang Xiaobao also listened. His ancestor went to war and made meritorious contributions. He even saved an important official and was given a fake title. Later on, that ancestor died, and the fake title was also gone. However, the fief and the hundred households were not taken back. Now that the era name was changed, it was the emperor who changed. He was afraid that the fief would be taken back.
"My ancestor and the current era are so many years apart. He is no longer an official. In the past, he was also a fake title, but this is not important. What is important is that we know the era. It's the second year of the Kaiyuan Era. It seems that it will be stable for a few decades. Li Longji just finished dealing with his aunt and is in the stage of development." Zhang Xiaobao received this most important information from his grandfather.
With this information, things were easier. People were not afraid of facing danger and difficulties, but they were afraid of facing the unknown. It was the most uncomfortable to be in the dark.
"What's so good about it? Why don't we do it earlier? For example, during the Zhenguan Era. At least we don't have to worry about the An Lushan Rebellion. Your family's fief should have been taken back a long time ago. It's not like it's hereditary. I don't know what methods you used to hide for so many years. " Wang Juan said sarcastically, but she was also worried. If Zhang Xiaobao's family lost their fief, then their income would be reduced. If they encountered a disaster, they would not be able to survive without saving some food.
Zhang Xiaobao was not worried about this. At most, he could earn money to buy the fief. Earning money was not a difficult thing. Even if he did not cheat and did not make a lot of money, he could still make some money. The only thing he was worried about was the An Lushan Rebellion that Wang Juan mentioned. After thinking for a while, he said to Wang Juan, "Don't be afraid. It's not easy to save a person, but it's easy to kill someone."
"Kill An Lushan?" Wang Juan asked.
"Yes, that's one of them. There's no rush now. When we grow up, we will kill An Lushan, kill Shi Siming, cripple Li Linfu, and kill Yang Guozhong." Zhang Xiaobao said confidently.
"Stop bragging. Even if you really kill An Lushan, there's still Li Lushan and Wang Lushan." Wang Juan did not give Zhang Xiaobao any face.
Zhang Xiaobao did not think much of it and said, "In theory, there is such a situation, but the ones who really change history are people. The personality of an important person is the factor that determines history. There is only one Napoleon. Let's not talk about this for now. When the time comes, we will know."
Wang Juan also knew that there was no conclusion on this matter that involved philosophy. It was better to be realistic, so she asked, "Then what are we going to do? Are we going to wait until we grow up? "
"Of course not. Our first task is to earn money. When the time comes, we will buy more land. The Kaiyuan era was prosperous, but no matter how prosperous it was, it could not be compared to our era. Back then, our food was indispensable, not to mention here." Zhang Xiaobao gave an idea.
"What should we do? Just based on us two little brats? Will anyone listen to what we say? "
"Stupid people think about difficulties. Smart people think about opportunities. Wait for us to understand the situation for another two days, then I'll tell you what to do." Zhang Xiaobao pretended to be calm.
