Tiantang

Chapter 171
Chapter 179

Sitting in the study, Zhang Xuan couldn't help laughing after reading Cui Ying's handwritten letter to him.Since the news of his release to the feudal town spread, I don't know how many rich and powerful children have come to him through their connections, wanting to join his sect and make contributions in his army.

This is obviously a fancy to Zhang Xuan's personal potential.

Contrary to many people's expectations, Zhang Xuan almost always came.He even asked Zhou Xuchu to make a list of who they want to do, which family they are from, their relationship and background, etc., for him to check at any time.

That being the case, if Cui Jin wanted to bid for him, he would not refuse.After all, he is also his uncle, so he still needs to take care of what should be taken care of.

"Please invite Zhou Changshi." Zhang Xuan smiled at Ruyan.

Ruyan hurriedly took orders to invite Zhou Xuchu.

Zhou Xuchu was the head of the General's House, and Zhang Xuan was appointed as the governor of Longshuo this time, so Zhou Xuchu would naturally follow him.In fact, not only Zhou Xuchu, but the more than 1 Habayashi Guards and Jinwu Guards Ma Jingrui currently defending Gyeonggi will follow Zhang Xuan to the north to Longshuo.

Zhang Xuan managed Zhou Xuchu's position as chief governor of the Metropolitan Government and general of Zhonglang, which was one level higher than the current rank.

At present, all the affairs of Zhang Xuan are handled by Zhou Xuchu.

Zhou Xuchu has followed him for a long time. This person has strong organizational and coordination skills, and also has a corresponding degree of loyalty. Zhang Xuan is quite satisfied and trusts him, and he can be regarded as one of his confidantes.

Although Zhang Xuan hadn't arrived in Longshuo yet, Zhou Xuchu was busy running around because of the transfer of more than 1 soldiers and horses, as well as serving as the envoy of Tang and Fan.

When Zhou Xuchu heard Zhang Xuan's summons, he hurried over and entered the study. Seeing him panting, Zhang Xuan laughed and said, "Old Zhou, sit down and drink some water to catch your breath before we talk!"

Zhou Xuchu didn't sit down, but bowed his mind and said, "The last general pays his respects to the governor!"

"Old Zhou, Cui Jin from the Cui family will also follow me into Longshuo. If you see any vacancies, just fill them in." Zhang Xuan smiled lightly.

Hearing that another "relationship household" was about to be placed in, Zhou Xuchu's head was about to grow big.Recently, Zhang Xuan ordered to arrange as many as ten or twenty "relationship households". Strictly speaking, he, the chief governor of the Metropolitan Government, who has not yet been in place, how to arrange these people?If the grade is lower, it can be deceived, but if the grade is higher, it must be reported to the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War for the record. How can it be said that it is arranged?

Besides, most of these people are playboys, and following them to the Longshuo army may only add to the chaos.

Zhou Xuchu was very puzzled, Zhang Xuan was not the kind of soft-hearted person, why did he not refuse this kind of thing this time?With his usual strength, as long as he refuses one, no one will follow suit.

Of course, Zhou Xuchu thought so in his heart, but he didn't say anything.What's more, this time Zhang Xuan was going to arrange for Cui Jin, the elder brother of the governor's wife Cui Ying, so he didn't dare to say anything.

Zhang Xuan knew the problem in Zhou Xuchu's heart, but he couldn't explain it, and he didn't want to explain it.

He knew better than anyone else that bringing such a group of rich and powerful children from Chang'an to Longshuo would bring him a lot of trouble.But compared with "trouble", it also implies benefits at the same time.In Zhang Xuan's view, this is an important link for him to maintain close ties with the powerful and powerful in Chang'an.

With these noble children serving in his army, it is hard to imagine that these Chang'an dignitaries are not speaking for him in the court.

Think of it as keeping a few pets in captivity.Zhang Xuan thought to himself.

After arranging Cui Jin's affairs, Zhang Xuan smiled at Yingzi, Cui Ying's maid, who had been respectfully serving Cui Ying in a corner of the study, "Go back and tell Ying Er that on the day Zhang leads the army to leave Chang'an, let Cui Ying Just enter our army and find Zhou Changshi to report."

"Yes, I obey." Yingzi bowed and was about to leave, but Zhang Xuan said again, "Bring this package to Ying Er, and say it is a gift from me to her."

Zhang Xuan picked up a tightly sealed package from the desk and handed it to Yingzi.

Yingzi took the package, Zhang Xuan hesitated again, raised his hand and shouted, "Ruyan!"

Ruyan, who was waiting outside the door, came in at the sound, Zhang Xuan smiled and pointed to the package in Yingzi's hand, and said softly, "Ruyan, take this to Cui Mansion, and help Ying Er wear it for a try."

Ruyan blushed inexplicably when she heard the words, bowed her head silently and nodded, took the package and left in a fleeing manner.

……

……

Xiao Cui, Princess Wanchun's personal maid, hurried into Zhang Xuan's Metropolitan Mansion, led by the gate guards, went straight to the backyard, and rushed to Zhang Xuan's study.

The soldier called softly outside the door: "Governor, His Highness Wan Chun sent someone to ask to see the Great Governor!"

"Come in!"

With a clear and powerful voice, Xiao Cui pushed the door open and walked in nervously.It wasn't that she was nervous when she saw Zhang Xuan, a high-ranking official, but that the task that Princess Wanchun entrusted to her was too... well, she felt a little absurd, and wondered if Zhang Xuan would agree to it.

"My servant pays homage to the governor!" Xiao Cui gathered herself together and bowed down.

Zhang Xuan smiled and waved Xiao Cui to get up.

He stared at the delicate-looking little maid in front of him, and guessed in his heart what Wan Chun was looking for her at this time.Princess Wanchun is definitely not willing to marry the Tubo prince Chisong Dezan, and become a victim of Tang and Tubo's marriage. She came to him because she wanted him to intercede for her.

To be honest, if he didn't have other plans in his heart, he would definitely speak up for Wan Chun.Firstly, Wan Chun had the virtue of passing on secrets to him, and he has always owed a great favor to this princess who is out of character; secondly, even if it is a marriage, there is no need to marry Princess Wanchun. The old emperor's direct princess followed the example of the previous dynasty and just found a prince's daughter from the clan to give her the title of princess and marry her.

But Zhang Xuan had other ideas, so he didn't insist on anything.In his opinion, with the cooperation of Wan Chun, a cheerful and lively princess with a different personality, it will be easier to get things done.It will definitely be more difficult to let those honest princesses appear on the stage.

"Governor, this servant is at the command of His Royal Highness, please go to the Wanchun Garden for a while, the princess has important matters to discuss with the governor." Xiaocui said softly with downcast eyebrows.

Zhang Xuan pondered for a while, and wanted to refuse, but remembering that Wan Chun had risked a lot of taboo and came to the mansion to deliver a message to him in person that day, he felt a little soft in his heart, and couldn't bear to refuse.

"Okay. I will go with you now, and Miss Xiaocui will lead the way."

Xiao Cui was stunned at first, she didn't expect Zhang Xuan to be so easy to talk; then she became happy, as long as Zhang Xuan was willing to go, it showed that he still had affection for the princess, maybe he would be willing to speak out for the princess.

Don't say that Wan Chun is extremely repulsive to marrying Tubo, even the personal maids around Wan Chun are extremely repulsive and fearful.You must know that Princess Wanchun was mainly married to Tubo, and they were bound to go there together as a dowry.

In this life, I may die of old age in a barbaric place like Tubo.This kind of ending, thinking about it, makes Xiao Cui feel cold all over.

*********************************
Ruyan hugged the package and entered Cui Ying's boudoir. Facing her future mistress, she did not dare to show any neglect or disrespect. She immediately knelt down and said softly, "Ruyan has seen lady!"

Cui Ying smiled slightly, and motioned Yingzi to help Ruyan up, "Ruyan, my husband has something to give to my slave, so I just let Yingzi bring it back, why should I let you go?"

Ruyan got up and looked at the package in her hand, her little face turned red immediately.

She hesitated for a moment, then slowly unwrapped the package, revealing the two pieces of clothing inside.

It's just that these two clothes are very weird and incomprehensible to Cui Ying. Several slender belts connect two small half-wrapped pieces. The inside is soft linen and the outside is sewn with a layer of red satin. .And the other one is even more weird, it looks like a man's underpants are extremely short, but there are two belts sewn around his waist.

This is obviously the underwear that Zhang Xuanxian ordered the maid in the mansion to sew according to his instructions based on local materials out of boredom.

The Tang people don't distinguish between men and women, and they don't wear underwear. The inside is empty and vacuum, which makes them feel very uncomfortable.Zhang Xuan was not used to it, so he secretly ordered someone to sew underwear for him, it was not complicated anyway.Later, I had an idea, and drew a blueprint again, and told Ruyan and Ruyu about the "joints" in it, and asked Ruyan Ruyu to oversee the work, and the tailor woman in Fuzhong invented this extremely crude women's underwear.

Ruyan and Ruyu tried it on, and they felt pretty good, so Zhang Xuan specially designed a set for Cui Ying according to her body shape. If Cui Ying can accept it, then naturally she can continue to sew.

"What is this?" Cui Ying shook it in her hand suspiciously, Ruyan's little face turned even redder.

She hurriedly turned around and closed the door tightly, bowed to Fu Yifu and whispered, "Madam, please take off your clothes, and this servant will serve Madam to dress."

Cui Ying was startled, then blushed and said angrily, "What are you doing undressing? What exactly is this?"

"Ma'am, this is the underwear that the young master personally designed for his wife. The young master calls it underwear. Please take off your clothes, madam..." Ruyan's voice was as soft as a mosquito's fly and as red as a face.

Cui Ying was speechless for a while.

However, Cui Ying still stripped naked under the service of Ruyan and Yingzi.Even though they were both women, Cui Ying was still blushing with embarrassment.

It's just that when Ruyan gently tied these two strange-looking clothes around her chest and waist in a very special way, she leaned over to look at herself, but it was her own amorous feelings. And looked crazy.

This... can it work like this?

Even though the underwear brought her great visual and physical sensory stimulation, she was extremely intelligent, and after a little exercise, she understood the function of this so-called underwear, which is protective and has a warming effect.

This gentleman, it's lucky that he can figure it out... Cui Yingxia's cheeks fluttered, and she was speechless.

In fact, Zhang Xuan did it unintentionally, but unexpectedly, he opened a new era in which underwear became fashionable for Tang people.

This "little invention", which was originally only for convenience and comfort, became popular throughout the Tang Dynasty in the shortest possible time.And his name has really been widely praised by the three religions and nine streams of agriculture, industry and commerce, and it is really known to all women and children.
