The chef competition in Huayuan County was currently being prepared. This competition was temporarily a local competition. Those who came to Huayuan County were all chefs from Gyeonggi Province. The competition in other places had not started yet. After the competition in each province, they would be summoned to the capital for the next competition.
Wu Huifei wanted to cause trouble for the Zhang Family and Wang Family during the competition, so she made a lot of arrangements.
Empress Wang did not care about this. She ran to Yaowang Mountain to continue to take care of her skin. She also learned more about the way of leisure to stabilize her position.
The battle between the two parties had been going on behind the scenes, so it could be considered peaceful.
The place that was not peaceful was Xincai County.
Zhui Meng's disappearance made several parties move together. Along with the rumors, when they finally pointed to Feng Changgong, Li Linfu could not wait any longer. The more important thing was to speed up the construction of the workshop.
Li Linfu called Feng Changgong and said, "Do you want to live or die?"
"Live, Master Li, you must save me. I know my mistake. I shouldn't have asked Zhui Meng to come." In the face of life and death, Feng Changgong begged Li Linfu like a puppy wagging its tail.
"It seems that you still don't know where you were wrong. You shouldn't have stopped Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan from channeling the river. Good, it's good that you know your mistake. Immediately take the initiative to dig a ditch in Baoxin County and post a notice to the people in the county. First, to prosper the local economy and improve the people's livelihood, we want to cooperate with Baoxin County to divert the river.
Second, some time ago, you heard rumors and mistakenly led the fake Daoist Zhui Meng to the county to talk nonsense. You will issue an arrest warrant and offer a high reward for the people to admit your mistake first. Third, are there any omissions in the accounts? If you lack money, you can avoid this first. Fourth, personally go to Baoxin County and ask for forgiveness in front of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. "
Li Linfu understood that this was not just a battle in Xincai County, but a battle between two parties. His side, Yu Wenrong, saw that the matter was about to be settled. If he pushed a little, it would be better to contend with Zhang Shuo. If he retreated, it would be unknown when Dongshan would rise again.
Feng Changgong showed a troubled expression. He said, "Master Li, how can I still have face after doing this? Wouldn't I have to admit defeat to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan? What's the point of living if you beg for forgiveness in front of two half-grown children? "
"Then you can just wait for your death. I'll help you this time and leave you with an intact corpse. Now that you know how to save face, why didn't you think more about it? Is your face that important? More important than the Tubo Kingdom? Why don't you go and take a look at the land between the eastern front of Jinchuan and the western front of Great Tang? Who's in charge? Someone who can threaten an entire country by himself, is he someone you can fight?
You, a local official, do not know much. That Zhang Xiaobao has not given up on Tubo. This autumn, we will see the result. Last night, news arrived from the Capital. Because Zhang Shuo refused to accept Xiao Bao and Cuckoo's invitation list, after falling out with them, he retired. The person recommended by Xu and Xu, He Yiwei, will be appointed as Yaozhou's Ji Shi (Ji Shi), who is also familiar with Yaozhou's agricultural affairs.
Compared to Zhang Zhi, what do you think? How are you compared to Tubo? Tell me, do you want to take poison or hang yourself? This official will definitely help you. "
Li Linfu said a few words to Feng Changgong, then smiled and offered to help.
"Official Li, this official does not want to die. I will do it now. Official Li, if this official uses Zhang Xiaobao's secret plan to deal with Tubo as a threat and says that if they don't help this official, I will inform Tubo, can this matter succeed?"
Feng Changgong had just said that his face was more important than his life, but now he changed his words.
"Haha, hahaha." Li Linfu was so angry that he laughed. He patted Feng Changgong's shoulder and said, "Fine, County Magistrate Feng, you have a bright future. This official risked my life to tell you something that you shouldn't know, and you want to use this to threaten Zhang Xiaobao. I didn't see it. Do you have any relatives at home? Is there a place to escape? If we can escape the pursuit of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang family, this official will run with you. "
"Official Li thinks that this plan is inappropriate? How about we hide in Tubo? "Feng Changgong might have been threatened too much recently, so his train of thought could not keep up. He was still persistent.
Li Linfu sighed helplessly, "Sigh! I thought that you have a good place to go, but you actually want to hide in Tubo. Wang Juan just needs to go to Shannan Dong Province and gather the 6,000 light cavalry that are still alive and can fight, then ask Tubo for you. Official Feng, please tell this official if Tubo will give you or not. Or Zhang Xiaobao will immediately order Pengzhou Pass to stop the exchange of food for livestock. What do you think Tubo will do? "
"Then go to Japan. Japan has a lot of gold and silver," Feng Changgong said again.
"You don't need to go anywhere. Stay here. This official does not want to be chased. Someone, invite County Magistrate Feng to rest. Take care of his three meals a day. It is indispensable."
Li Linfu didn't want to waste any more time on Feng Changgong, so he called for his own men to restrain him. He immediately began to write a notice in Feng Changgong's name, completing what he had just said. He then ordered the people outside, "Prepare a carriage for this official, this official is going to Baoxin County."
*****
In Baoxin County, Zhang Xiaobao was still writing a letter to Gao Lishi. He said that the Emperor was traveling and that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Family would pay for all the expenses. However, all the arrangements had to be made by Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Family, such as road repair, food, and security. No one else was allowed to interfere. No matter how much money was spent and whether or not they could earn money, only Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Family could do it.
Wang Juan stood to the side and watched Zhang Xiaobao write the letter. At the same time, she also embroidered clothes for Xiaobei and the others.
Seeing that she had embroidered her hands twice, Zhang Xiaobao said, "You don't have to learn this. I am not from the Great Tang Dynasty. Whether or not a woman can cook and know how to sew clothes is not important. If you want to eat well, I will personally cook and not feel ashamed."
"There are some things that women should do and should do. The reason why the matriarchal clan was eliminated was because their bodies were not strong enough and they also had to give birth. There are strong women, but the proportion is too small. No matter which aspect it is, the ones who are truly at the top are men.
Even if it is women's underwear, the one who makes the best is not a woman. My mother in the past was actually not bad, but she still knew how to take care of us at home. You are not the kind of man who does not have the ability and needs to rely on a woman. Many times, I have to stand behind you. One is that you can protect me, and the other is that I can cooperate with you.
I can cook and sew clothes. I don't know about other women, but I know that I like it. This makes me feel that I am a complete woman. In fact, I used to know how to sew. I could even sew sweaters, but I have never sewed like this before. I only sewed cross-stitch. It was very simple. It was only after I came here that I realized how amazing the women here were.
My mother and your mother were like this, especially your mother. Until now, all our clothes were sewn by her. When she sewed, she did not need to sew anything, and the things she sewed were also very vivid. This shows that she must have a good foundation in drawing. The women of this era are really not to be underestimated. "
Wang Juan was not ready to give up. She felt that if she did not know what other women knew, then she would be missing something in her life.
At this time, Zhang Xiaobao finished writing the letter. Seeing that Wang Juan was so persistent, he did not try to persuade her anymore. He asked someone to send the letter away and said to Wang Juan, "It's getting dark. Don't sew first. If your eyes are tired and nearsighted, I still have to make glasses for you. How much glass would I waste? It is much more difficult than making binoculars. Let's go out and take a walk. "
Wang Juan put away the things and walked out with Zhang Xiaobao. After they were out of the door, she suddenly asked, "Xiao Bao, do you know about sewing machines?"
"Yes, I know. I am not a fool. I use it pretty well. It's the kind that steps on the feet. I used to make underpants for myself." Zhang Xiaobao felt that his hands-on ability was very strong. He put on a posture of pushing the thread forward and said.
"Then why don't you ask someone to make a sewing machine? You can make electric lights and washing machines. Are you missing a sewing machine? "
"If you didn't mention it, I really wouldn't have thought of it. The principle of a sewing machine is even simpler. Okay, I will remember this. I can't make it and sell it right away. I have to think about how to use it. This opportunity is rare. The small step we take is a big step forward."
"Don't make it sound so dignified. Are you thinking of something again?"
"Little Master, Little Miss, it's not good. Something happened to Xiaobei and the others." The guard in charge of looking after the little guys rushed over and said to Zhang Xiaobao.
"What happened?" Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan asked nervously at the same time.
"Little Miss Xiaobei and Little Master Xiaoyuan fell. Little Miss Xiaobei's arm is broken, and Little Master Xiaoyuan's leg is swollen." The guard was so anxious that his eyes were red. It seemed that he was the one in pain.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't continue to talk about the sewing machine. They ran to where their younger brother and sister were.
They saw Xiaobei holding his right arm with his left hand, refusing to let others come over to check. He pursed his lips and held back his tears. Xiaoyuan's eyes were also filled with tears. It wasn't that he was in pain. His pants had been taken off. He looked at Xiaobei and felt sad for him. The other little guys were also anxious at the side.
Zhang Xiaobao didn't have time to care about others. He ran in front of Xiaobei and reached out to take Xiaobei's arm. He began to feel the bone. Wang Juan asked with a livid face, "Who took care of him? Why didn't he let us treat him? "
"Little Miss, we took care of him. Xiaobei let someone touch him just now and said that it hurt. He didn't let anyone get close to him," a maidservant came over and replied in horror.
Wang Juan didn't say anything. She nodded and looked at Zhang Xiaobao.
After Zhang Xiaobao examined his sister, he let out a long breath and said to Wang Juan, "It's not crushed. It's just cracked. It will probably take two months to heal. Pay attention to your diet. There was a slight misalignment, so I corrected it. Xiaobei, how did you fall?"
"Mechanical arm multiplied by mechanical arm is equal to resistance arm multiplied by resistance arm. I wanted to see if Xiaoyuan could fly into the swimming pool. He jumped from a high place and fell. Xiaoyuan stood in the wrong place and broke his leg."
Xiaobei finally found someone to cry to. As he cried, he looked at a seesaw beside him.
Zhang Xiaobao also looked over and saw that there was a platform on one side of the seesaw. It was estimated to be three meters high. Presumably, his sister had jumped from there, and Xiaoyuan was standing on the other side.
After crying for a while, the strong Xiaobei looked at her brother and asked, "Was it wrong?"
"That's right. But little sister, you should ask your brother and sister first. The human body's endurance and the acceleration of gravity are not something you can jump from. Big brother will teach you how to jump later, okay? Later, take some painkillers."
His sister was fine, and Zhang Xiaobao wouldn't take his anger out on the people taking care of her. He guessed that the little rascals did it secretly. In the future, he could only tell the people taking care of her to be more careful and more careful.
Wang Juan's face was still gloomy. She asked the person beside her, "What if it's two zhang tall? What about three zhang tall? The maidservant will receive three whips, and the guards will receive ten whips. No, the guards will receive twenty whips. Guards, guards, guards. If they can't protect her, how can they be called guards? "
After giving the order, Wang Juan said to Xiaobei with a pained heart, "The medicine will be here soon."
"I won't eat it. I'm not afraid of pain. Last time, when Big Brother practiced the Torture Removal Technique, he didn't eat it after making a mistake. I won't eat it either." Xiaobei insisted.
"Then Xiaobei, how do you know that mechanical arm multiplied by mechanical arm is equal to resistance arm multiplied by resistance arm?" Wang Juan was puzzled. This was knowledge taught to the people in the inner courtyard. How did Xiaobei and the rest know?
"It's all because of my second brother. He even calculated whether the slingshot could hit accurately, but as long as it was a little farther, he was right every time," Xiaobei said.
