"My name is Chu Lixiang. I am nine years old. What is your surname?"

"My name is Xuanyuan Chen. I am sixteen years old this year. King Zhenbei is my father."

Xuanyuan Chen instinctively introduced his father in a grand manner. He was afraid that the child would not know who he was.

"Brother Xuanyuan! I know you are the son of King Zhenbei, and you are very good-looking." Chu Lixiang and Jiang Xinyan learned how to show off.

How could he know the name of King Zhenbei's son?

But my eldest sister-in-law said that when others introduce themselves, they cannot say that I don’t know them or that they don’t know, as that would make them lose face.

Chu Lixiang pretended to praise Xuanyuan Chen for his good looks. It was a fact that he looked good.

Xuanyuan Chen was extremely excited: "Even you know me?" Oh my God! Is I so famous? How old do children know me?

Looking at the excited people in front of him, Chu Lixiang thought with admiration, what his sister-in-law said was really good, and he felt very accomplished.

He happily handed Xuanyuan Chen a ski, "Hey! Here you go, look at mine."

Xuanyuan Chen saw Chu Li gliding on the snow like flying.

When he was thinking about how to use it, Chu Lixiang slid back to him and taught him how to ski.

The two of them went to the dining room together, a large dining room that could seat more than two hundred people.

Chu Lixiang pulled Xuanyuan Chen's sleeve and walked to the table where his grandmother and mother were.

"Good morning, grandma, good morning, mother. This is Xuanyuan Chen, the son of King Zhenbei. He didn't have a bowl for breakfast in the morning. I brought him here to eat."

"It looks like, it's so similar, you look just like Emperor Dong...when brother Dong went to join the army." The eldest princess said with tears in her eyes.

Xuanyuan Chen knew that the old man in front of him was his imperial aunt, and the years had left traces on her face.

He could see how beautiful she was when she was young, but now she just had some wrinkles on her face, which made him feel particularly friendly.

Chu Lixuan and his wife hadn't gotten up yet, Chu Lizheng had gone to train, and there were only four of them sitting at this table.

Xuanyuan Chen awkwardly followed Chu Lixiang and called his grandmother and Jin Niang, Mrs. Chu.

The eldest princess lovingly advised him to eat more and gave him a lot of braised beef.

The four of them ate happily and chatted a lot. Xuanyuan Chen was dizzy with joy after eating.

Then he followed Chu Lixiang and skied to the place where the soldiers were eating.

At that time, everyone was full, and Zhao Yu was using his inner strength to fool everyone.

Xuanyuan Chen was still somewhat rational before and half-believed what he said, but now after Jiang Xinyan said it again.

He believed it 100%. It was great to build a house by burning bricks and it would not be knocked down by wind, rain or snow.

Xuanyuan Chen returned to the mountain and rolled up his sleeves with the Zhenbei Army to work harder. Their blood was boiling and they didn't feel cold at all.

Chu Lixuan and Jiang Xinyan, along with Zhao Yu and several other junior generals, were choosing a site to build a brick kiln.

Jiang Xinyan pointed at the mountain and said, "Chu Lixuan painted, Zhao Yu remembers the process and operates with strength."

The layout of the kiln is roughly as follows. First, build a large brick kiln.

The south side of the brick kiln is very wide and flat, so the place where the bricks are made is leveled.

On the north side is a hillside for borrowing soil, and a trail is built in the middle. The west side of the trail can also be used for borrowing soil, and the east side is still a wasteland for borrowing soil to make bricks.

But on the west side, after part of it is cleared, a few offices or houses for viewing the kiln can be built.

There is a narrow path in the middle of the brick kiln that can be climbed to the top of the kiln. Looking down, the belly inside is wide and can accommodate at least more than 10,000 bricks.

Zhao Yu said that he remembered it and started working on the kiln in the afternoon. There is strength in numbers.

Jiang Xinyan can only talk about it, but she doesn't know how to actually do it. She is not even sure whether the bricks will be red or blue.

This well-off house in Dongchen Kingdom uses blue bricks, and I have never seen red bricks.

Jiang Xinyan knew that as long as it was burned thoroughly, it would be better than adobe bricks.

At least the fired bricks can withstand wind and rain, while the clay bricks are not a problem in the south.

However, since it snows for several months this year, this is obviously not possible.

King Zhenbei did not come up to the mountain in person. He had a study room in his yard, and Leng Yue placed the books he brought on the bookshelf.

"Go and inform Concubine Li, Meiren Wu, and Shuang'er. We will go to Mr. Chu's courtyard for dinner."

King Zhenbei thought that Chu Lixuan and his wife had no one with them, so he added: "Just the three of them, don't bring any maids or wives."

"Yes, I will go right away." Leng Yue went to inform him personally.

An hour later, the two women were dressed up in colorful makeup, but one of them still brought a maid.

Without the maid, what will they do while eating?

Xuanyuan Shuang did not bring her maid, and the five of them stood outside the yard. Concubine Li twisted her face and complained: "It's so cold!"

Seeing King Zhenbei coming out, Concubine Li immediately smiled tenderly: "Your Majesty, we are ready."

"Your Majesty, can I go too?" Wu Meiren was not willing to lag behind and walked to the other side of King Zhenbei.

"Well, let's go! It's at the other end of the soldiers' yard. Let's walk there."

King Zhenbei felt that it would be no problem to walk through a row of houses at a glance.

Leng Yue wanted to remind her prince that this row of houses was thirty miles long, and the three women might not be there by the time they walked to dinner.

However, he thought in a blink of an eye, during breakfast, the soldiers who lived farthest away were not much slower!

After walking for an hour, we were still in the middle of two rows of houses. It was already lunch time.

King Zhenbei sped up, leaving several women behind. It would be a joke if he was late for the banquet.

Concubine Li couldn't help complaining: "Why did you build the courtyard so far away in the first place!"

Her maid also murmured: "Yes! This trip is really not easy!"

Is this intentional? It takes a meal and a long walk!

Wu Meiren gritted her teeth and moved forward with a gentle smile on her face, as if she could persevere no matter how far she went.

Xuanyuan Shuang saw the behavior of her mother and Wu Meiren, and she began to dislike her mother again.

"Ah! Your Majesty~" Wu Meiren fell to the snow.

King Zhenbei flew back to help Wu Meiren and said distressedly: "Yan'er, does it hurt from the fall? I will carry you away."

"Your Majesty, sister is tired from walking, please carry her away." Wu Meiren said with a sweet smile.

She hugged Zhenbei King Gougong's waist and didn't let go. The man was rubbed hot by the soft little hands on her waist: "Leng Yue prepares the carriage."

King Zhenbei picked up Wu Meiren and left, leaving Concubine Li shaking in the snow.

Xuanyuan Shuang also practiced martial arts with her brother since she was a child, and quickly followed her father.

Wu Meiren's maid followed closely in the footsteps of King Zhenbei, leaving Concubine Li's master and servant behind.

Concubine Li scolded her harshly again: "The vixen did it on purpose. Why didn't I think of it?"
