Guide to Traveling through the Northern Song Dynasty.

Chapter 1202 Epilogue : Parents Go to Beijing

The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and Xie Yan was too lazy to go to the cement factory anymore.

The land purchase contract has been signed. We will have to wait and see about the next things, at least until this period of popularity is over.

The Li family is currently building an improved cement kiln, with Li Dunshi supervising the entire process. When the Li family's cement kiln is completed and the craftsmen have gained experience, Xie Yan will take them to Shou'an County to continue repairing it.

Two new cement plants are enough for the ten counties of Luoyang Prefecture, and Xie Yan will not authorize the patent to other companies.

The Queen Mother has agreed to supply Shouan's anthracite to Xie Yan.

The Li family did not receive such treatment. If they wanted to purchase anthracite to make cement, they had to transport it from Yongning (Luoning) or Luanchuan, which was farther away.

As for the management staff of the cement factory, Xie Yan and the princess each contributed half.

The Xie family’s people are responsible for daily management, and the princess’s people are responsible for external contacts.

The purpose of Xie Yiqin and Wang Yitong's trip to Beijing, in addition to handling their son's marriage, was to bring servants who knew how to manage the household.

"Do you really want to compete with a kid in reading?" Zhu Tangxi and Qingluan came over with watermelons.

Xie Yan said, "You can't just teach your Majesty to roll on the ground, right? If you don't encourage your Majesty to study, the Queen Mother will be unhappy."

"That's true," Zhu Tangxi handed over a piece of watermelon, "Try it. It's been thrown into the well for a long time. This watermelon is very cool."

"Sister is so nice." Xie Yan turned into a little puppy again.

Qingluan stood by and pouted, "I picked the melons and arranged to put them in the well. You didn't even come to thank me!"
The weather was hot, so the princess stayed at home today and wore a light green gauze dress.

translucent!

When Xie Yan first saw it, his eyes widened, and the snow-white skin and underwear were faintly visible.

If the maids hadn't been nearby, Xie Yan would have pounced on her right then and there.

This is really unbearable, it's almost like erotic clothing, and the princess deliberately put a noble lady lying next to him.

Oh, let’s do it again at night. My body can’t stand this all day.

And in this horrible weather, I'm sweating all over after doing it once, and it's quite tiring to take a shower and change clothes.

Read! Read!
The bad princess actually took the initiative to tease him again. If you want to eat watermelon, just eat watermelon. Why do you have to get so close to him? Your body is already touching, and you don't even feel the heat.

"Liu Lang is reading a book, why is he drawing so many maps?" Zhu Tangxi lay on Xie Yan's shoulder and looked at the drawings on the desk.

Xie Yan explained: "The names of the countries, places and people in the Mecca are somewhat confusing, and the national territories keep changing. I sorted out the names of places, countries and people, and then drew the changes in the maps according to the timeline. In this way, you can quickly remember them by comparing the historical events with the map."

Zhu Tangxi said with a smile: "You are just bullying a child by reading books like this. How can the government compare with you?"

Xie Yan said: "He will definitely not accept the loss of the bet. When the time comes, I will teach him my method and challenge him to compete in studying the history of Western countries. Learning a reading method is more useful than reading a hundred books. This method can also be used to study Chinese history."

Zhu Tangxi said: "If this can be done, the Queen Mother will definitely be happy."

"The Queen Mother agreed to grant me the marriage and also agreed to sell Shou'an anthracite. She is our benefactor, so naturally I have to repay her kindness," said Xie Yan.

Seeing that Xie Yan was really doing his job, Zhu Tangxi finally stopped teasing him.

After eating the watermelon, Zhu Tangxi called the maid to clean up and let Qingluan go out to play. She stayed with Xie Yan, accompanying him to draw maps and learn about the history of the various kingdoms of Tianfang.

Xie Yan has been reading "Records of the Arabian Countries" these days, which has somewhat overturned his stereotypes of ancient Europe and the Middle East.

For example, a judge from a desert religion country commented on Europeans in this way: "This kind of people has not developed any science at all. They are more like beasts than human beings... They do not have sharp intelligence and insight. They are known for their ignorance and stupidity. Most of them are stupid and mentally retarded, just like the Slavs, Bulgarians and other neighboring peoples."

A bishop of Byzantium commented on the Desert Christians in this way: "In the major sects of the Desert Christians, all sexual behaviors are not only not prohibited, but are permitted and even praised. Therefore, among them, in addition to countless prostitutes, there are also many effeminate men. These men shave their beards, put on makeup, wear women's clothes, and wear bracelets on their arms and feet. The Desert Christians have forgotten the dignity of human beings and are shamelessly attracted to those effeminate men. They live together openly, just like couples in our society."

These two paragraphs shocked Xie Yan greatly.

Desert believers despised Christians for being stupid, barbaric, backward, and unscientific.

Christians condemned the desert believers for being too sexually open, with prostitutes and homosexuals everywhere, and homosexuals living openly together.

It seems that things are completely reversed in the 21st century.

After working until the afternoon, Zhu Tangxi finally felt bored. She stopped studying the history of Arabian Buddhism and leaned over the desk, rolling up paper into small sticks to tease her lover.

He first used a paper stick to gently stroke Xie Yan's neck, then moved it to his cheek little by little, and then poked Xie Yan's ear.

Not satisfied yet, he let out a long, very light breath to see if he could blow a strand of Xie Yan's hair.

After making trouble for a long time, Xie Yan finally couldn't help it: "If you make trouble again, I will spank you!"

"Hehe." Zhu Tangxi laughed with great pride.

Xie Yan continued to look at the calligraphy, paintings and maps.

Zhu Tangxi showed no remorse at all and was still teasing him mischievously. She wanted to see how long Xie Yan could endure it.

Finally, I couldn't stand it anymore.

Xie Yan stood up suddenly and said fiercely: "Stand up!"

"What's wrong?" Zhu Tangxi was still laughing, but stood up obediently out of curiosity, wanting to know what Xie Yan was going to do next.

Xie Yan said again: "Lie down, lie on the desk."

Zhu Tangxi giggled and took a few steps back to avoid it: "I won't. Come and catch me if you dare!" Xie Yan pounced on him with his fangs and claws bared, and the princess ran away screaming and laughing.

Qingluan heard the screams outside and hurried over to check the situation, then stood at the door speechless: They were such grown-ups, yet they were still playing such childish games.

But they were having a lot of fun, and I really wanted to join in.

Qingluan just leaned against the door and watched as the two people in the room were happily chasing and playing, completely unaware of her presence.

Suddenly, Qingluan was stunned.

The princess couldn't dodge in time, and was caught by Xie Liulang and pressed on the coffee table. The princess's buttocks were raised, and Xie Liulang slapped her hard. It seemed that the touch was not bad, and Xie Liulang slapped her several more times.

Qingluan was already stunned. Xie Liulang actually dared to spank the princess. Should I...should I go in and stop him?

Zhu Tangxi turned his head in grievance: "You actually hit me."

"Did I do anything wrong?" Xie Yan hit her a few more times, but his strength became lighter and lighter, for fear of hurting the princess.

"That's right, that's right, it's not wrong even if I beat you to death!" Zhu Tangxi twisted her hips in protest, as if mocking Xie Yan's lack of strength.

Xie Yan was so angry that he increased his strength and asked while hitting him: "Is it wrong?"

Zhu Tangxi was stubborn for a while, but finally begged for mercy: "Good brother, I was wrong."

His attitude of admitting his mistake was extremely improper. He was even still smiling, looking seductively and seeming to be enjoying it.

Xie Yan was magnanimous after all. He did not advocate corporal punishment in education, but rather verbal criticism. Since the princess had already recognized her mistakes, she should be given another chance.

"Good sister, does it hurt?" Xie Yan asked softly.

Zhu Tangxi said pitifully, "It hurts so much. You only know how to bully your sister."

Xie Yan leaned over and said, "Then I'll give you a massage."

"Please massage gently. I'm afraid of pain." Zhu Tangxi lay on the coffee table and didn't move.

Eh~~~
Qingluan turned away with a look of disgust, not wanting to look any further, and closed the door. This couple was so abominable, they were always together all day long, making others feel upset in broad daylight.

Qingluan walked outside angrily and said to the maids, "Prepare the bath water and clothes."

Maid: "..."

This time, they lingered in the bathroom. Zhu Tangxi was completely shameless and took the initiative to invite her lover to take a bath together.

After struggling for a long time, I finally finished taking a shower.

The sun was about to set, the temperature dropped a little, and there was an evening breeze.

The two held hands and went for a walk in the sunset.

Zhu Tangxi said happily, "This kind of day is really nice. It's getting dark before I know it. In the past, I felt that the day was very long, as if it was a year."

"Be happy, be happy. Time flies quickly when you are happy." Xie Yan said with a smile.

Coming to the pavilion, Zhu Tangxi leaned on her lover's shoulder.

A gust of evening breeze blew, shaking the lotus flowers in the pond. The water surface, without the lotus leaves blocking it, was reflected in the golden sunset glow, and was wrinkled by the evening breeze and became sparkling.

Zhu Tangxi said to herself: "Can I always be this happy if I marry Liu Lang?"

Xie Yan held her hand and said, "I want to make my sister happy for the rest of her life."

Zhu Tangxi was so happy that she wanted to cry. She lay in Xie Yan's arms and said in a daze, "I actually have a bad temper and I am very concerned about my reputation. Liu Lang, can you only take Qingluan as your concubine in the future? Even if I grow old and lose my beauty one day, you should not take a second concubine. If it gets out, I will be laughed at. If Liu Lang is lonely, you can ask those maids to sleep with him."

The words sounded almost like a plea, and Xie Yan felt like a scumbag.

What an evil old society!
Xie Yan quickly comforted her: "I will listen to my sister."

Zhu Tangxi climbed up from his arms and whispered in Xie Yan's ear: "Qingluan is also a virgin. The former prince consort...he hated me and didn't even want to touch me. In order to please him, I asked Qingluan to sleep with him. But he slapped Qingluan, scolded her as a slut, and made her kneel down and admit her fault. He also made Qingluan kneel outside the room, and he took the woman he brought from outside to bed, deliberately letting that slut scream loudly to humiliate Qingluan. In fact, he just wanted to humiliate me."

Xie Yan said: "I will never let my sister and Qingluan suffer any injustice again."

"Liu Lang, you are so kind," Zhu Tangxi's eyes were moist for no apparent reason. "People say that Taizu and Taizong were gods who came down from heaven and ascended to heaven after their death. It must be that my father is in heaven and asked Taizu and Taizong to use his magic to send Liu Lang to me."

Xie Yan sighed. This love-brained silly woman was so stupid that people couldn't bear to deceive her.

The two stopped talking and just hugged each other, enjoying the evening breeze and watching the sunset.

Before the sun set, a maid came over to report to Qingluan.

Qingluan walked into the pavilion quietly, fearing to disturb them: "Your Highness, Liu Lang's parents have arrived in Beijing and are now at Mr. Li's home in the south of the city. They have just sent a servant to deliver the news."

"what?"

Zhu Tangxi stood up suddenly and said in a panic, "I...I...according to etiquette, should I go to see my father before I get married?"

Qing Luan chuckled: "Your Highness is so anxious that he is losing his mind."

Zhu Tangxi suddenly realized and her pretty face flushed. What kind of etiquette is this for her? She has slept with a man, and the man stayed at her house every now and then.
