Chapter 128

Seeing that she didn't hear the conversation just now, Chen Jingke was also relieved, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry for scaring you, but I told Yihe about something just now."

At this time, Yihe also followed from behind, and after seeing Wu Shu, he bowed respectfully and said, "Mr. Wu, I am Yihe, and please teach me more in the future."

Chen Jingke took the opportunity to introduce: "She is the head of the dictionary compilation, and you can just ask her to do anything in the future."

Wu Shu also said politely: "Hello Miss Yihe, please take care of me in the future."

After the two got to know each other, the three returned to the office to discuss how to compile the dictionary.

In the beginning, everyone was a bit repulsed by Wu Shu, who appeared suddenly, but Ke Yihe took the lead in communicating with her, and would actively ask for her opinions and suggestions on many things.

The queen is the queen, she managed to convince the people present with a little show of her hand, and gained recognition.

Chen Jingke was very pleased, it seemed that Yihe had listened to his enlightenment.

Hey, does time travel really increase IQ? Why do I feel like I know everything all of a sudden, he couldn't help thinking complacently.

Everyone talked for a long time, and with previous experience, they quickly discussed a set of methods.

While waiting for a break, a Taoist priest named Zhou Xiang came over to compliment Chen Jingke while he was alone and said:
"Really, what did you say to Yihe and Mr. Wu just now? Why did the relationship between the two of them suddenly become so harmonious?"

Chen Jingke heard the voice, and quickly lowered his voice and asked, "When did Miss Wu go out just now?"

Zhou Xiang was a little dazed, and said: "You and Yihe just went out, she followed her, and then came back together, isn't it together?"

Chen Jingke didn't know what happened, so he said perfunctorily: "We are together, I just told them that after the dictionary was compiled, we will become famous all over the world together, and they deeply think so."

Zhou Xiang said in admiration: "So that's the case, real people really know how to enlighten people."

Sending him away, looking at Wu Shu who was chatting and laughing with the two sisters Yihe Yilian in the distance, Chen Jingke said angrily: "The sun and the moon are in the sky, it is indeed you."

But he laughed again immediately: "As expected of you, Your Majesty the Empress."

Several people chatted for a while, and formally confirmed the work plan for dictionary compilation, and decided to officially start the work on the second day of the Shangyuan Festival, that is, the sixteenth day of the first lunar month.

Then Chen Jingke and Wu Shu went back to the backyard.

When he got to the empty place, Wu Shu suddenly said: "Sister Yihe Yilian didn't know what kind of good deeds she did in her previous life, so she can meet you in this life."

Chen Jingke said with a smile: "According to what you say, then in my previous life, didn't I have to save the world in order to live such a life in this life?"

Wu Shu covered his mouth and smiled, and said, "Your words... are very funny. But, you don't regret it at all if you let the sisters go like this?"

Hearing this, thinking that she might have eavesdropped on the conversation between him and Yihe just now, Chen Jingke was not polite and said:

"I was a little bit reluctant at first, but after seeing Mrs. Wu, I realized that my previous vision was too low, so I was relieved."

Wu Shu didn't expect the flames of war to reach him, his pretty face turned red instantly, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, kid."

Chen Jingke deliberately asked back: "Huh? Why, does Mrs. Wu think what I said is wrong?"

Wu Shu couldn't hold back his face at last, and said embarrassingly, "Deng Tuzi."

After speaking, she turned around and left as if to run away. After all, she was only a 14-year-old girl, and she was still very shy to be teased like this in person, even if it was only an 11-year-old boy who made fun of her.

Well, again, people in the Tang Dynasty got married early, and it was normal to get married at the age of eleven or twelve.Although men generally get married later, it is not uncommon for men to get married at this age.

So in some respects it is no longer appropriate to treat him as a child.

Molested the queen a little bit, and took revenge for her eavesdropping on "revenge" just now. Chen Jingke felt refreshed as if he had eaten ginseng fruit.

Time passed quickly, and before I knew it, it was the Lantern Festival.

In the Tang Dynasty, the Shangyuan Festival was a major festival second only to the Winter Solstice and the Spring Festival. It was celebrated on the fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth days of the first lunar month.

There will also be lantern appreciation activities on the night of Ten and 56, and the imperial court will cancel the curfew in these two days to allow people to travel at night.

Naturally, Zixiao Temple would not miss such a festival, and hung all kinds of lanterns on the square at the entrance and inside the temple.

At this time, the lantern weaving technology is very mature, and various shapes can be made.

As a Taoist temple, it is natural to put up some lanterns that meet the status. According to the scriptures of the Taoist catalog, one is tied for every god with a name and surname.

This alone costs Zixiaoguan a month's income, which is very extravagant, but it will benefit many low-level people.

Carpenters who collect bamboo strips and other materials, craftsmen who make lanterns, paper sellers, lamp oil sellers... can all get a good income from this.

Because of the New Year's Eve Fireworks Festival, everyone is most looking forward to the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival at Zixiao Temple. Someone has long asked whether there will be fireworks.

The pilgrims who got an affirmative answer quickly spread the news, so more people gathered here on the Shangyuan Festival.

This time the emperor and empress did not come, so there was no strict control, and ordinary people can come to visit.

Wu Shu and Wu Chang have also heard about the fireworks, and they have been looking forward to what kind of things so many people can't forget.

At night, when the first orange flower bloomed in midair, both sisters opened their mouths in surprise.

Wu Chang was the first to react, holding his sister Wu Shu's hand and jumping up and down: "Sister, sister, look quickly, the fireworks are so beautiful..."

Wu Shu looked at the sky and said excitedly, "Yes, it's really beautiful."

At the same time, she couldn't help but think of Chen Jingke, how did he invent such a beautiful and unearthly thing as fireworks?
Inside Zixiao Temple, Pan Shizheng was silent while looking at the fireworks in full bloom, and Si Yuncheng also stood quietly beside him.

After a long time, he asked: "What happened to the matter I asked you to inquire about?"

Si Yuncheng replied: "The real Chen Jingke is deeply loved by the saint and the empress, and he can enter and leave the palace freely... Besides, there are rumors that the saint wants him to be Princess Jinyang."

Pan Shizheng couldn't help being moved, and said, "Princess Jinyang? Is this news true?"

Si Yuncheng recounted several public intimate interactions between Chen Jingke and Princess Jinyang, and said:
"There are rumors that the empress used to make fun of Princess Shang and Princess Jinyang in front of outsiders. It's just that the people involved in the incident are all rich and powerful, so it's impossible to find out whether it's true or not."

Master Pan said cautiously: "There is nothing wrong with it. I'd rather believe it or not. It seems that we need to correct our views on this talented fellow Taoist."

Si Yuncheng's heart moved, and he said, "Have you decided?"

Pan Shizheng nodded and said, "Tomorrow I will have an open and honest talk with Sun Zhenzhen and Chen Jingke."

At this time, the Chen Jingke that many people were talking about was not in Zixiao Temple, but was invited by the eldest grandson Wugou to attend the Shangyuan Lantern Festival in the palace.

And in front of many ministers and ladies, Changsun Wugou directly stuffed Princess Jinyang into his arms, and said in a joking tone:

"The little girl shouts every day to find her husband, come here, my wife will hold her by herself."
