Chapter 3: Kaiyuan () during the Tang Dynasty

The woman hugged her son and her future daughter-in-law and almost floated out. This time, Zhang Xiaobao did not continue to be immersed in the warmth of having a mother in this life. Her eyes kept communicating with Wang Juan, and occasionally she had to use lips to speak, which meant that Wang Juan cooperated with him to figure out what the place he was now looked like as soon as possible.

Wang Juan still had some contradictions in her heart. She had not fully adapted to her new identity for the time being, and was not used to being carried around by a young woman. When she saw Zhang Xiaobao conveying her meaning, she suppressed all kinds of emotions in her heart and began to remember the scenery all over the world, including the clothes on people and the layout of the house.

Two people who can be said to be elites in their previous lives will have to use all their strengths and the accumulation of knowledge and experience at this moment.

"Ancient?" Zhang Xiaobao said to Wang Juan with his lips while he was carrying it out.

Wang Juan nodded slightly, glanced at the table, and found two coins on it. She squinted her eyes and looked carefully, and replied: "If you guessed correctly, it should be the Tang Dynasty. I saw the money and Kaiyuan Tongbao. I don't know which dynasty it was."

At this time, the woman had already arrived outside the door. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan looked at the situation outside again and found that they were not just outside, but there was still an entry into the yard in front.

"A wealthy family? The owner of the manor? The official? The businessman?" Wang Juan immediately made a judgment when he saw this situation.

"It's not an official family. My mother doesn't have that temperament. After hearing what my mother said just now, it's a preliminary judgment that the landlord class has a farmhouse household." Zhang Xiaobao replied after analyzing.

"Madam, why do you hug two by one? Hurry up, let me hug one." Just as Wang Juan was about to express her feelings, a man's voice sounded, thinking it was the woman's husband, but he saw an uncle in his forties in his 40s in silk clothes. Based on his current age, or someone who should have called his grandfather to come over, he immediately stopped talking and returned to the virginity of the child.

The same is true for Zhang Xiaobao. He looked at this person with curious eyes, especially his eyes, and wanted to see from it whether he had deceived or suppressed his mother or positioned him as a housekeeper. According to his temper, if he saw any meaning of despising his mother in the eyes of this person who was suspected of being a housekeeper, he would kill someone.

"It's okay, both children are not heavy, and it's comfortable to hold them. Manager Zhang is going to work hard. Oh, everyone in the yard today will give you a portion of meat. Add a portion of meat at dinner." The woman smiled constantly when she mentioned the child, so she naturally had to be happy with the people in the yard.

"Yes, madam, you are busy. I'll call someone to come and watch it. It's hot, so I'll hold an umbrella for the young master and the young lady." Manager Zhang responded respectfully, lowered his head and left quietly, without showing any disrespect. He had no idea. This attitude saved him from a murder.

The woman carried the two children and continued to walk forward. Before she could get to the front and enter the yard, a girl of the same age came to hold up an umbrella and blocked the scorching sunlight outside. Cherry also gave Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan a warm and humid silk handkerchief to gently wipe her face.

"Pomegranate, do you know where the master is?" The woman kissed Zhang Xiaobao's face with her mouth and asked the girl who was holding an umbrella.

"When you say to your wife, the master is in the study. Nowadays, the old lady and the old lady should be cool under the tree in the front yard." Pomegranate replied obediently, and often serving people, she naturally knew what the wife meant, which was to let her family see the children.

The woman nodded: "Well, then go to the front yard, Cherry, later you can tell the people in the back yard not to be lazy. If the repair is done, let the old lady and the old man go back to live, always live in the front, and the identity is not good."

When he turned around, he looked at the two children in his arms, turned into a smile again, turned slightly, and said, "Xiaobao, Juanjuan, the one who just passed by was the manager of our village. This maid is called Cherry and the other is called Tsubasa. I will let you see grandpa and grandma in a while."

Then, regardless of whether the two children could understand it, he walked forward and taught the two children to speak. This was called a house. The middle part of the house was the door, window, etc., and he came to the front yard. He saw two "old men" under the big locust tree sitting next to the stone table under the big locust tree. Then he stopped talking and took two steps quickly.

"Qiao'er is here, hurry up, let me show my good grandson and grandson-in-law." The old lady sitting there being served by someone to drink tea stood up and greeted her. She said while reaching out to pick up Zhang Xiaobao, and complained: "Qiao'er, what if you are tired when you hold two children on this hot day? Let the servants do it in the future."

As she said this, she had no intention of asking her servants to help her hold the child. She held Zhang Xiaobao with both hands and put it in front of her. She couldn't see enough, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were squeezed together, and she smiled a lot.

"If you are not tired, you will feel tired even if you hold your own child. By the way, my father-in-law, Baolang will call you mother-in-law. I just called Juanjuan in the house. I call me mother-in-law, come to Baolang, and call me again." Zhang's mother remembered that she came over and asked her father-in-law and mother-in-law to be happy together, reached out to touch her son's chubby face, and asked him to call again.

"Mom." Zhang Xiaobao naturally would not refuse. He finally lived the addiction of his parents in this life. He was ready to shout back all the words he had never shouted before. Then, without waiting for others to praise him, he shouted to the old lady holding him: "Grandma."

He turned his head and looked at the old man sitting there and looked over, and continued to shout: "Grandpa."

Now the old man could no longer sit still, so he stood up and walked quickly to his grandson, "Oh, my good grandson, let grandfather see, okay, it's better than other grandsons, no one family can compare to ours, I'll say to grandfather."

"Grandpa." Zhang Xiaobao looked at his grandfather carefully, thinking in his mind that if he was washed away by water again, this grandfather should be able to hold himself to the shore.

"Grandpa, grandma." Wang Juan also shouted at this time. Seeing the old man, at least he had to have respect.

The two of them shouted, and everyone was happy. The old lady took Wang Juan, the old man hugged Zhang Xiaobao, sat back together, and praised her endlessly, praising her son, daughter-in-law, grandson, and future granddaughter-in-law, and servants who served them all followed her. It seemed that everything was so beautiful.

This day, I didn't feel hot anymore, and I was no longer irritable. Even the watchdogs that were not allowed to come close to me can now be praised for lying under the tree.

At this time, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan felt the warmth while listening carefully to the audience, observing the surrounding situation, and analyzing their future living environment.

Especially when we heard some of the trivial matters at home that grandpa, grandma and mother talked about, the two of us listened more carefully, and our lips were endless.

"Who said that he was not an official? Isn't this a fief? There is still a fief of one hundred households." Wang Juan said to Zhang Xiaobao when he heard Grandpa Zhang Xiaobao worrying that the reward land that his ancestors fought back with all their might would be taken back.

Zhang Xiaobao also listened to it. His ancestors went to war, made military achievements, and saved important Shangguan. He was granted a void title and obtained hundreds of acres of land. Later, the ancestor died and the void title was gone, but the land and the one hundred households were not taken back. Now the year name has changed, that is, the emperor has changed it, and he is afraid that the land will be taken away.

"The ancestors were so many years apart from now, and they were no longer an official. They were also a void before. This is not important. What is important is that they know the era. In the second year of Kaiyuan, it seems that they can be stable for decades. Li Longji has just finished packing up his aunt and is in the stage of vigorous development." Zhang Xiaobao got the most important information from his grandfather.

With intelligence, it is easier to deal with. People are not afraid of facing dangers and difficulties, but are afraid of facing unknowns. It is the most uncomfortable to have a look of darkness.

"What's better? Why not be ahead of time. For example, during the Zhenguan period, at least you don't have to worry about the Anshi Rebellion. Your land will probably not be saved and should have been taken away long ago. It's not hereditary. I don't know what methods to hide for so many years." Wang Juan said sarcastic words, and was also worried in his heart that Zhang Xiaobao's land would be gone, so he would have less income. If he encounters a disaster and other things, it would be difficult to save some food.

Zhang Xiaobao is not worried about this. At worst, he can make money and buy land, so he can collect it. Making money is not a difficult task. Even if he doesn’t cheat and can’t make big money, he can still get it. The only worry is the Anshi Rebellion that Wang Juan mentioned. After thinking about it, he said to Wang Juan: “Not afraid, it’s not easy to save someone, but it’s not easy to kill someone?”

"Kill An Lushan?" Wang Juan asked.

"Well, this is one of them. There is no hurry now. When we grow up, we will kill An Lushan, kill Shi Siming, abolish Li Linfu, and kill Yang Guozhong." Zhang Xiaobao said confidently.

"Blow it, even if you really kill An Lushan, Li Lushan and Wang Lushan." Wang Juan gave Zhang Xiaobao any face.

Zhang Xiaobao rolled his eyes unconsciously and said, "There is a situation in theory, but people who really change history are all people. The personality of an important person is the factor that determines history. Napoleon only has one. I won't discuss this issue for now, and you'll know when you look."

Wang Juan also knew that there was no conclusion about this thing involving philosophy for a while, and it would be better to be realistic, so he asked, "What are we going to do? Just wait to grow up a little bit?"

"Of course not. Our primary task is to make money and buy more land at that time. The Kaiyuan prosperous era will be economic prosperity, but no matter how prosperous it is, it can be better than ours. At that time, our food was also in an indispensable position, let alone here." Zhang Xiaobao gave an idea.

"How to do it? Just by the two of us little brats? Is anyone listening to what they say?"
