Chapter 181: Family Banquet

As soon as Zhao Yan came in, before he could salute, he was called over by Zhao Shu and asked, "Third brother, what is this thing you sent, just now I and I didn't see any clue after watching it for a long time?" ”

In fact, it's no wonder that Zhao Shu can't understand it, because the sand table of the entire Tokyo City is too big, in order to facilitate transportation, so Zhao Yan and Yang Huaiyu can only divide the sand table into several pieces, and the terrain of Kaifeng City is also irregular, so the number of pieces divided into is also irregular, most of them are divided along the river and road, so when they are not put together, it does look messy, at most you can see from it to distinguish the palace and Kaifeng Mansion and other landmark buildings.

"Daddy don't worry, this thing is called sand table, it is a gift from Erchen to Dad, this thing is more complicated, wait a while and then explain its purpose to Dad!" Zhao Yan said with a smile, just now he had decided to tell Zhao Shu about the military academy, and this sand table just happened to lead to the idea of the military academy, Zhao Yan didn't want to say this in front of Princess Bao'an.

Zhao Shu just felt that the gift sent by Zhao Yan was a little strange, but now when he heard Zhao Yan's words, he saw that several children were also here, and he laughed at the moment, put aside the sand table for the time being, and pulled a few children to talk about family life.

At this time, Empress Gao also came from the dormitory, and behind her, there was a young man of the same age as Zhao Yan, who looked a little similar to Zhao Yan, this young man was Zhao Yan's second brother Zhao Hao, titled King of Dongyang County, and he, like Zhao Ji, was the biological son of Empress Gao, although he was also an adult. But he still lives in the palace, and Zhao Yan also saw him for the first time.

After a while, Zhao Shu's eldest daughter Princess Dening finally arrived, this Princess Dening is in her twenties this year, and she has been married to the general Wang Shiyue of the left guard a few years ago, compared to the unhappiness of Princess Bao'an's marriage, Princess Dening's marriage is not bad, it is reported that General Wang is not only good at writing, but also good at riding and shooting, which can be described as both civil and military. I have a good relationship with Princess Dening.

Zhao Shu has a total of four sons and three daughters. Now when he saw that all seven children had arrived, he was very happy at the moment, and ordered someone to prepare a banquet, and eating was secondary. It was mainly Zhao Yan and their children who accompanied Zhao Shu and Queen Gao to chat. Because it's a family feast. Therefore, if you can't say something you can't say or dare to say, you can also take this opportunity to say it.

If you only talk about family matters, the biggest thing in Zhao Shu's family this year is the separation of Princess Bao'an and Wang Xu. Because of the rare fierce act of Princess Bao'an last time, she burned her dowry, and as a result, Zhao Shu had to agree to Princess Bao'an and Wang Xu's reconciliation, and now the turmoil caused by this matter has calmed down, but for Princess Bao'an's next arrangements, Zhao Shu is also very headache, and the banquet also wants to ask Princess Bao'an's plans.

"Daddy doesn't have to worry about his daughter's affairs, now his daughter lives in the third brother and is very happy, usually plays chess and plants flowers when she has nothing to do, and she is accompanied by the third sister and Ying'er sister, my daughter likes this life very much, and I don't want to marry for the time being!" Regarding her father's worries, Princess Bao'an finally directly clarified her own plans.

"How can this work, women's families always have to marry, since that Wang Shu is not a person, I will help you with a suitable horse!" However, hearing Princess Bao'an's words, Queen Gao suddenly said that although Princess Bao'an was not her own, as the queen, she had the responsibility to arrange the marriage of the prince and the princess.

"Niangniang, my daughter doesn't want to get married for the time being, so can this matter be postponed?" Princess Bao'an was stunned when she heard this, and then asked Queen Gao that she was deeply hurt by her last marriage, so she really didn't want to talk about getting married so soon.

"I know Shu Ning, you're worried about meeting someone like Wang Shu again, but you have to believe in your mother's vision, and you will never let you meet someone like Wang Shu again!" At this time, Queen Gao insisted on her own construction, she is usually a more domineering person, and she does not allow others to refute her own opinions, this time it is also for the sake of Princess Bao'an who has just reconciled, so she is so patient.

Princess Bao'an's temperament was originally a little weak, and she didn't know how to refuse others, but now seeing that Queen Gao was so persistent, she didn't know what to say for a while, and Princess Shoukang next to her just wanted to help her sister refuse, but then Zhao Yan stood up with a smile and said: "Niangniang doesn't know, the second sister had a serious illness some time ago, although she looks fine now, but in fact, her internal organs have also been quite damaged, and she has been slowly recuperating during this time, so it is really not appropriate to talk about marriage?" ”

"Really?" Queen Gao glanced at Zhao Yan with some suspicion, since the last time she knew that Zhao Yan had met Xianyuan, she always felt that Zhao Yan had become much smarter, and at the same time she was more alienated from her, so she didn't believe Zhao Yan's words.

"Of course it's true, the first divine doctor of the Liao Kingdom, Zhilugu, and the old immortals of the Cao family all live in the third brother'er, they all helped the second sister to see a doctor, and there is also the master of the Xiangji Temple, if it wasn't for the master of the empty space last time, I am afraid that the second sister would be in danger." Princess Shoukang also rushed to say at this time, among the many sisters, she was the only one who was not afraid of Queen Gao, because she had Empress Dowager Cao behind her to support her.

"Alas, it's all me, a father who doesn't know anyone, and I actually asked Shu Ning to marry someone like Wang Xu, which made you suffer so many grievances, since Shu Ning you don't want to marry for the time being, then we won't force it anymore!" At this moment, Zhao Shu finally spoke, although Queen Gao was a little unwilling, it was not good to say anything.

Next, the content of the chat turned to Princess Dening, because Princess Dening was pregnant again, and this was already the third child of her and the concubine, which naturally attracted the congratulations of Zhao Yan and others, and even Zhao Shu was very happy. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Yan secretly asked Zhao Xu: "Big brother, how is that guy Wang Shu doing now?" ”

"What else, his reputation is ruined, he doesn't dare to go out at all during this time, although the official position is still there, but it is an idle job that doesn't care about anything, and if there is no accident in the future, he can only stay at home to care for the elderly." Zhao Xuan also said with hatred, Wang Xuan did not receive any punishment after leaving with Princess Bao'an, which made Zhao Xuan also very dissatisfied, bullying his sister, he has already written down this hatred, and when he becomes the emperor in the future, Wang Xuan will never want to have a bright future.

Seeing Zhao Xu's appearance, Zhao Yan also smiled, he naturally knew Wang Xu's recent situation, the reason why he deliberately asked this was to test Zhao Xu's attitude towards Wang Xu, now he is relieved, as long as Zhao Xuan is pressing, Wang Xu's scumbag will not want to have a bright future, and with Wang Xu's character, let him live a mediocre life, it is estimated that it is more uncomfortable than killing him, but this is also the retribution he deserves.

At the end of the banquet, Zhao Yan found a reason to retreat first, but he did not leave, but asked people to move those sand tables to a side hall next to them, and then personally put together those messy sand table fragments into a complete sand table. Zhao Shu and Zhao Ji had also noticed Zhao Yan's movements for a long time, so after Zhao Yan put together the sand table, they also came to the side hall together, and when they saw the sand table on the ground, both of them were also stunned, because at this time they recognized this as Tokyo City at a glance.

"Third brother, you ...... You...... You actually used this dirt to make the city of Tokyo? Zhao Shu was shocked for a while, and then asked, this method seems simple, but no one has ever thought of it.

"Hehe, Daddy, this thing is called a sand table, it can also be regarded as an alternative map, but it is much more intuitive than the map, all the terrain can be seen at a glance, if when the two armies are fighting, my general of the Great Song Dynasty has such a sand table in front of him, wouldn't it make the enemy have nothing to hide, and the enemy will take the lead everywhere?" Zhao Yan saw Zhao Shu and Zhao Ji's shocked looks, and smiled proudly at the moment.

"Haha~, wonderful! Great! This thing looks very simple, and it doesn't seem to be very complicated to make zuò, but no one has ever thought about it, and as the third brother said, this sand table is simply prepared for war! At this time, Zhao Ji also reacted, and laughed excitedly at the moment, as an aspiring prince, he is no stranger to military affairs, and even in his heart, there has always been a strong desire to Pingxi Xia and destroy Northern Liao.

However, compared to Zhao Ji's excitement, Zhao Shu seemed extremely steady, I saw him seriously look at the sand table of Tokyo City, and finally suddenly smiled and said: "Third brother, this sand table does not seem to be simple, not to mention anything else, it is not easy to present the real terrain with a sand table, for example, your sand table is not accurate, and the distance between the palace and Kaifeng Mansion and Daxiangguo Temple has a lot of error, so although this sand table looks beautiful, if it is used on the battlefield, I am afraid it will only make the generals misjudge, Thus delaying the fighters! ”

"Daddy is wise, this sand table was made by Erchen and Yang Huaiyu of the Yang family two days ago, many places are not accurate, but this cannot completely negate the value of the sand table, as long as Daddy sends people to explore the real terrain, and then let the master craftsmen make the sand table according to the real proportion, it can definitely be used on the battlefield in the future!" Zhao Yan also knew that the shortcomings of this sand table would definitely not be hidden from Zhao Shu, so he was not surprised at this time.

"Yang Huaiyu? But that Yang Huaiyu, who was sent to you to guard the corn and sweet potatoes before? Zhao Shu was also a little surprised at this time, and then asked a little puzzled, "Isn't there no corn and sweet potatoes in your house now, where is he still in you?" ”

Zhao Yan originally wanted to use the sand table to lead to things related to the military academy, and Yang Huaiyu was the key to the military academy, so when he heard Zhao Shu ask about Yang Huaiyu, he was also happy in his heart at the moment, and immediately told Yang Huaiyu what happened to him. I saw that when Zhao Shu heard the last, he also frowned, and at the same time his face showed a little dissatisfaction, it seemed that he not only did not know about this matter, but also did not approve of this kind of practice of hiding Yang Huaiyu.
