Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 170 Willow Wooden Ball Game

After Li Shimin put the Dongzhu on the table, he said: "You arrange for the big one to be delivered to Liu Yiguo in Bingzhou, and the small one to be sent to Yunzhou for Liu's Erniang. In addition, you It is my king's wish to wait for hard work."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, my daughter, I would like to ask you, the reward must not be passed on."

Li Shimin nodded.

At present, Li Shimin really can't give rewards publicly, so he secretly took out some treasures from Prince Qin's mansion.However, Li Shimin added another sentence: "Let Xiaomu know that these orbs, my king, are rare things."

Ye Siniang laughed again, saluted and left.

This Liu Yiguo is the aunt of the Liu family.Right now, the Liu family aunt has three names, the first one is her boudoir name, Liu Ruyan.Then the second one is the name on the Geng post, which is only known to Liu Mu, Qin Qiong, the patriarch of the Liu family, and the male and female Fang Damei.Not to the public, this name was given by the head of the Liu clan and recorded in the genealogy.

The last name is the surname Liu, plus his title.

Mrs. Liu's Yiguo, Li Shimin called her Liu Yiguo in colloquial language, and formal documents had to be written.

Mihara.

A carriage from the Silla mission approached the area where Yumu was in the evening.

Five consecutive inspections allowed the carriage to approach.

Tang Emperor Li Yuan lives in the house that Li Bi gave to Liu Mu, Liu Mu lives in the Taoist temple, and Dugu Lanruo lives in the mansion of Li Jing and Zhang Chuchen.

After Kinderman came to Sanyuan to undergo multiple inspections, he temporarily stayed in Li Jing's mansion.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness Princess Changping of the Tang Dynasty." With the etiquette of Silla, Kinderman lowered his body.

Dugu Lanruo just slightly raised her hand, and the person holding the piano next to her shouted loudly: "No courtesy, reward."

They are both princesses, but there is such a huge gap.

But the two princesses both think that this is correct and reasonable.Because one princess was crowned with the word "Datang" before, and the other only had the word "Silla".

This is the difference.

A maid came forward with a tray, and on the tray was a box mirror made of silver, inlaid with gemstones, and the dark pattern of a peacock.

Datang has rules, and there are strict rules for what kind of things people of what status use.

After seeing the items on the tray, Kindermann lost his composure.

But at this time, Dugu Lanruo got up and left, giving Kinderman a possibility not to lose his composure in front of him.When the figure of Dugu Lanruo left the room, there was a suppressed exclamation from behind.

The corner of Dugu Lanruo's mouth only slightly provoked a smile, but she still had that indifferent expression.

That smile was not to ridicule Silla, but to be confident that no woman in the world could resist the power of that mirror, and no one would be an exception.

The next day, Datang started its first willowwood baseball game.

Baseball originated in ancient Egypt, spread to Rome, flourished in Britain, and perfected in the period of American civilians.

Willow has four baseball teams, each with 100 players.

A fat pig was carried in a cage to the field. Su Dingfang stepped forward, and after the sharp knife went in and out, someone came to collect the pig's blood.

Su Dingfang smeared a ball with the blood of a sharp knife, and then threw the ball in the field: "Tonight, the winning side will have this pig for dinner, and the losing side will eat scum cakes and wild vegetable soup."

Liu Mu was on the stand, holding a small hammer tied with a red cloth in both hands, and came to the Tang Emperor Li Yuan.

Li Yuan took the hammer and lightly tapped the gong.

Drums sounded all around, and the two teams each had more than a dozen official players on the field.

In modern times, the home run line is higher than 76 meters. At this time, in Datang, the home run line is 66 steps, which is more than 100 meters.

The first hitter set to work, taking an iron bar with two swings.

That voice made Liu Mu's blood boil.

Iron bars are not allowed in competitions, but they are allowed in training.

When he was officially on the court, someone brought him an iron-core wooden club. The hitter stood in the strike zone, stretched out his little finger, shook it twice at the pitcher, and then hooked his finger.

The first ball is found and the game officially begins.

There were not many people in the auditorium, and the official audience did not exceed 20 people, including Li Yuan and several concubines, Dugu Lanruo with Kinderman, and Liu Mu and his three younger sisters.

When Li Yuan understood the rules and saw the tricks, he was full of interest.

Peng Hai sat down in the stands and said to the commander of the forbidden army next to him: "The one with the number seven on his back has a Mo Dao in his hand, he must be very strong."

"Very strong, he can split people and horses." The commander of the imperial army responded in a low voice.

After the evaluation, the commander of the imperial army lowered his voice and said: "Mr. Mu Xiaolang has his own way. People in Chang'an City will only say that he likes to have fun after knowing these people in his hands, but who knows that these people can fight when they are on the battlefield. The power of throwing a ball can be thrown a hundred paces away with a spear."

"Mr. Mu Xiaolang's other four teams are probably more interesting." Peng Hai smiled and said to the commander of the imperial army: "You also have a lot of people under your command. You can call dozens of people and compare them."

"This..., I have a heart, but where is the saint?"

"If the miscellaneous people talk about it, the sage will be happy." After Peng Hai finished speaking, the commander of the imperial army immediately said: "Then I will send people back to Chang'an to pick people out tonight. This game is very interesting."

After the game in the afternoon, Liu Mu dined with Li Yuan.

The banquet hall is divided into two, Liu Mu and Li Yuan are sitting in the middle hall, behind Shaman are Concubine Wan Gui, Princess Changping, concubines from the harem, and guest Kinderman.

Li Yuan asked: "Xiao Mu, why did you bring Kinderman here?"

"Earn coins." Liu Mu answered very quickly.

Li Yuan asked again: "How to earn?"

"Three ways, the first one is the sage, if you allow me to open a large workshop in Youzhou, one year later, I will bring you [-] cattle and [-] beef cattle. However, Xiaomin dared to think Recommend a general manager to Youzhou."

After listening to Liu Mu's speech, Li Yuan smiled and motioned Liu Mu to continue with the second point.

"The second way is to build a small workshop in Laizhou. This business is a bit small, but it is not a problem to make money to pile up the stadium as high as several people."

"The third most helpless thing is to expand the Yaozhou workshop."

Li Yuan approached Liu Mu and hooked his fingers, signaling Liu Mu to get closer to him, and then asked: "So, who do you recommend?"

When Li Yuan was talking to Liu Mu, especially when Liu Mu was very close to Li Yuan, Kinderman behind the gauze was secretly looking at him. She already knew that the person sitting next to the Emperor of Tang Dynasty was this honorable man The future husband-in-law of Princess Changping.

Moreover, there were rumors in Chang'an City that he was a young man who was loved and trusted by the Emperor of Tang.

What Kinderman could not understand was why such a person did not become an official.

On Liu Mu's side, he has already started recommending to Li Yuan the suitable candidate in his mind.
