Great Tang princess

Chapter 457

Geng Yunqiang explained the reason why the princess sent him back this time in a very simple tone, and then stood quietly where he was, waiting for the emperor's next order.

Wu Zetian nodded slightly: "Research on winter vegetables? If this is really feasible, it is indeed a great achievement..."

Having said that, I still have confidence in what my daughter is going to do in my heart. After all, she can fly into the sky. What are off-season vegetables?
Then Geng Yunqiang took out a stack of envelopes from his arms, took out the top hands and handed them over respectfully: "Your Majesty, this is a letter written by His Highness!"

Shangguan Wan'er next to him took it first and handed it over to the emperor, then looked curiously at the stack of envelopes left in his hand.

"These are for the Commander and the other Highnesses..." Geng Yunqiang quickly offered the remaining envelope with both hands.

When he came back, Li Yuechen said that all these letters should be handed over to Shangguan Wan'er, and she will take care of the rest.

"En!" Shangguan Wan'er agreed, and when she took it, there was still a faint smile on her face.

Geng Yun saluted forcefully and said: "Your Majesty, the officer will leave first. If there is a letter that needs to be forwarded by the officer, please order it at any time!"

"Well, hard work!" Wu Zetian waved his hand to show that he understood.

After leaving Jixian Temple, Geng Yunqiang was slightly relieved, the pressure on Miansheng was indeed not small.

But if he can be promoted to major general one day in the future, he should still have the opportunity to meet the saint, which can be regarded as a glorious lintel.

……

By the time we got back to the camp, it was already sunset.

The Huoshaoyun in the sky exudes an orange-red glow, which is gradually dimming with the sound of evening drums in the city.

Li Xian, who had read his sister's letter, had already been waiting for him to come back, and it was almost time to finish eating, so he dragged him directly to the cafeteria.

Not the canteen of the front company, but the canteen of the logistics.

Here, Li Xian is the boss, even if he sneaks a drink, it's not a big problem.

After I came to the cafeteria and sat down, there was already a lot of good wine and food on the table.

Li Xian unbuttoned his clothes, sat on a chair, and poured him a glass of wine: "Come, let's have a drink first."

"Second Highness, I have a mission to come back this time, so I can't drink too much..." Geng Yunqiang greeted in advance.

"Don't worry, it's just one bottle," Li Xian patted the small bottle next to it, which was about the size of Red Star Erguotou.

Drinking such a small bottle for two people really won't delay things.

So Geng Yunqiang didn't shirk anymore, and the two chatted while drinking.

After drinking for three rounds, Li Xian, who was chatting about the customs of Shandong, suddenly changed the subject very bluntly: "Yuechen is in Shandong, so there is no waste of money, right?"

"cough……"

Hearing this sentence, Geng Yun coughed violently, and then waved his hands again and again: "Don't worry, Second Highness, Your Highness is very concerned about this aspect, and never wastes it!"

"Oh?" Li Xian raised his eyebrows, obviously not convinced.

"real!"

Seeing his skeptical expression, Geng Yunqiang quickly explained more seriously: "Except for daily training needs, Your Highness doesn't waste anything!"

Hearing his assurance, although Li Xian still had some doubts, he didn't continue to say anything, just nodded to express his understanding.

It's not that he's really stingy, he's just afraid of unnecessary waste. After all, in this army, everything is money!If you are not careful, it will be very troublesome if there is something that the funds cannot keep up with.

Seeing that he finally stopped doubting, Geng Yunqiang also heaved a sigh of relief.

He thought in his heart that if the Second Highness knew that many grenades were used as firecrackers, maybe he would go to Qingdao as quickly as possible to argue with His Highness.

His Highness was also afraid of being taught a lesson by his elder brother, so before he came back, he gave Geng Yun strong orders and repeated orders, and this matter must not be leaked to the second elder brother.

Geng Yunqiang heaved a sigh of relief, but it was settled, otherwise, if the Second Highness ran over to teach His Highness, His Highness would definitely not let him go!

……

Early the next morning, the soldiers who came from Shandong received an order that they could go to the Eastern Capital for a two-day holiday, but at least they had to be in groups of three, they could not be scattered, and they would gather in two days.

The soldiers who had been holding back all night cheered, called a few friends to change into casual clothes, and set off for the Eastern Capital.

As soon as I entered the city, I was surprised. I saw that all the streets in the city were covered with dusty hardened roads, and there were ceramic cones on the wide main street, which could not be seen at a glance.

The ensuing feeling is big!

Dongducheng is naturally much larger than Qingzhou, and the streets are wider.But on this wide road, there are four-wheeled carriages that look extremely luxurious.

Two-wheeled carriages are relatively rare here, and almost all four-wheeled carriages catch the eye.

Some are simple and plain, and some are carved with various patterns on the body, which looks extremely beautiful.

They were all a group of young lads, who quickly came back to their senses and walked into the city in twos and threes, admiring the sights they saw.

They watched curiously as a group of young people in gorgeous costumes were speeding along the street on roller skates, gliding past them one by one.

There is no such thing in Qingzhou, they all stared at the children playing with the ice in a daze.

Not only the roller skates, but the most important thing is that at a glance, the women on the street can't see the ones wearing the curtains!

Although I heard about this when I was in Qingzhou, women in Qingzhou still have to wear curtains when going out.

However, here, they are walking confidently on the street one by one, and they don't mind exposing their appearance at all, walking on the street with elegant and confident steps.

The pedestrians next to him seemed to be not surprised, and they were doing their own things wholeheartedly.

When they came to a street, they looked up and saw many people in the teahouse lying on rocking chairs, drinking tea leisurely.

Many people are still holding a pair of health balls in their hands, spinning them slowly.

I have seen this thing in Qingzhou occasionally, and it is usually a hobby of rich people.

Occasionally, I can see a few children selling newspapers on the street, bouncing past them...

All in all, from the perspective of these young people, this city is like another city, as if they are in two completely different worlds.

In order to have a good experience of the customs here, the soldiers entered the teahouse and wine shop in groups of three and four, intending to taste the taste of the Eastern Capital.

Nowadays, there is a novelty in Dongdu, Roujiamo.

This was originally just an unintentional creation of Li Yuechen, a native of Xi'an, when he opened the restaurant. He just made a few because he wanted to eat, but the chef wrote it down.

After getting the approval, it started selling. Unexpectedly, the sales volume was very good. Now the restaurants in Chang'an and Dongdu have become one of the indispensable foods.

The soldiers have only heard of this thing but have never eaten it, because there are too many people in the barracks, and it is too troublesome to make this thing.

After finally having the opportunity to visit Dongdu, if you don't try it, how can you be worthy of yourself?

So the soldiers walked into the wine shop one after another, wanting to buy Roujiamo.

This thing is not expensive, and the allowances of the soldiers can be consumed completely. Some people went to the nearby teahouse to buy a pot of tea and greeted their comrades to drink tea together.

A soldier waved to his comrades-in-arms next to him: "The shopkeeper of this teahouse is a Japanese, but the tea is sold so cheap!"

"It's just cheap for us." A soldier pointed to the plaque on it.

The soldiers looked up and saw the words "Taiping Tea House" before they realized that it was the property of the princess, so it was no wonder.

Everyone knows that any shop that dares to call this name is definitely related to the princess.

"But how do Japanese people know that I am serving as a soldier under His Highness?" A soldier asked puzzledly, "I didn't travel in military uniform, did I?"

The soldier next to him raised his hand and gave him a shudder: "Are you stupid? We all have short beards and short hair, and this Japanese man is His Highness's servant, so he naturally understands!"

The soldier next to him suddenly realized: "It makes sense!"

It has to be said that educated soldiers are different. From this small incident, it can be seen that their independent thinking ability is much stronger than that of ordinary people in this era.

……

After playing all day, the soldiers also felt a little tired, so they planned to go to the brothel to play.

Going to a brothel in this day and age is not necessarily just to find a woman, it can also be purely to listen to music, or simply to talk about things and drink.

Most of the women in the brothel are versatile and can act as the host in the wine table game.

Those who only rely on a good-looking face to sell themselves often have low status and relatively low prices. Generally speaking, it can be regarded as a relatively expensive industry.

It's just because the population of this era is not large, so it is rolled, but not to the point of exaggeration, which is not bad.

This group of young lads saw the novelty of the Eastern Capital, and at the same time they all made up their minds in their hearts that they must be loyal to His Highness in the future, and maybe one day they could be promoted to an officer.

At that time, the treatment will be better than now, food, drink and housing will be managed by the military, and the military salary can be used to make money to support the family... This kind of life is simply not very good.

……

At the same time, Shangguan Wan'er, who was off work, also returned to the Princess Mansion, and handed over the letter sent back by Li Yuechen to Yiyang, Xuancheng, and Pei Qingwan.

In the letter, he talked a lot about the humanities and landscapes in Shandong in a family-friendly way, and at the same time expressed concern for his family.

Shangguan Wan'er even sat alone in the pavilion in the courtyard, reading Li Yuechen's letter while feeling the evening breeze blowing from the pond.

It is still a very princess-like vernacular, but the love and longing can be clearly felt in the words.

In particular, Li Yuechen also said bluntly in the letter that he missed her and hoped to come back to see her soon, which made her laugh at the envelope.

The evening wind blowing over the pond lightly brushed the ends of her hair, covering half of her face, and the corners of her upturned mouth became faintly visible, becoming a unique scenery in the courtyard at night.
