Xiao Tangzhi said, "To be honest with you, my Lord, I have some talent in craftsmanship. The disguise items commonly used in our sect, such as the Yin-Yang Pot, the Nine-Turn Ball, and many jewelry, were all made by me. There were also nobles in Chang'an who bought them. The ones signed with the name 'Tangzhi' were mine..."
When he talked about this, he seemed like a different person. His pretended gentleness was gone. His eyes sparkled and even his speech speed became much faster. "I have taken apart all the time dials and fans from Yuefang and made them all. The time dial is really exquisite, and the sewing machine from the Ministry of Commerce is even more exquisite! I also took apart all the new sun-chasing cars and opened the lock of the Ministry of Commerce's informant box..."
He choked, then quickly said, "But I didn't touch anything inside, and everything was fixed later."
He looked at her carefully.
Yan Shiyue held his forehead.
Later Wei Xin came back and showed her what she had in her hand. It was a small phoenix-head hairpin. Just like the legend said, the head could be taken off and it was hollow in the middle. After it was screwed on, it couldn't be seen at all.
Wei Xin said: "This 'Tangzhi' has been quite famous in the secret passage in recent years. It is said that he is known for his quick hands. If you give him a hairpin jewelry, he can quickly give you another one that is exactly the same as the original one and can also hide things."
Yo? Yan Shiyue asked: "How old are you?"
Xiao Tangzhi said: "Twenty-two."
But he looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, extremely handsome and smart.
...
...
Xiao Tangzhi felt a little embarrassed when she looked at him: "We took the medicine according to our appearance. Senior Brother Jiang said that my appearance would not be good-looking when I got older, so I took the medicine when I was seventeen."
Yan Shiyue asked curiously: "Does everyone take medicine?"
"How is that possible?" Xiao Tangzhi said, "That medicine is extremely precious. You must have a very good seedling to take it. As far as I know, there are only three people in the world who have taken this medicine: Senior Brother Jiang, me, and another person. I don't know who it is."
Yan Shiyue asked: "Is there any left now?"
Xiao Tangzhi said: "No, but I do have a recipe, do you want it?"
"Is it convenient?" Yan Shiyue said, "My master is Su Ji, he should be interested."
Xiao Tangzhi said: "It's not inconvenient. We are now led by Senior Brother Jiang. He said that there will be no Wuxin Sect in the future. We will listen to you."
Yan Shiyue said: "Thank you then."
Then Xiao Tangzhi wrote it down on the spot, and Yan Shiyue put it in his sleeve pocket, saying, "So do you mean you want to go to Yuefang or the Ministry of Commerce?"
Xiao Tangzhi said: "I just want to follow the Prime Minister."
He said with an embarrassed look on his face: "I have seen and learned everything that is available now, so I want to follow the Prime Minister. I will follow and see what the Prime Minister does next."
She asked, “What if I do nothing?”
Xiao Tangzhi said: "That's okay, just give me a place and I'll take things apart and make them for fun." He smiled at her shyly, looking like a little puppy.
But think about it, this person was sent by Jiang Henbie to clean up the mess! He was the one who cheated the liar! So this is definitely a lie!
Yan Shiyue thought about it calmly, and suddenly thought of something: "Xin'er, bring those papers on the shelf in my study."
Wei Xin asked: "Which papers?"
She said, "You can see that there are more than a dozen pieces randomly put together. They are not words, but just ghostly scribbles."
Wei Xin went there, and Xiao Tangzhi's eyes swept over the two of them, and then he waited obediently.
Wei Xin took it over after a while, and Yan Shiyue put the paper on the table: "Little candy paper, come and take a look."
Xiao Tangzhi didn't know that he was given a nickname. He just thought it was very strange when she called his name, but he didn't show anything on his face and came over. When he saw it, he frowned and asked, "What is this?"
He began to look closely.
Yan Shiyue calmly drank tea and waited. Xiao Tangzhi finished reading the dozen or so papers she had drawn one by one, glanced at her, and said, "Xiao, I am just talking nonsense... I think that the Prime Minister seems to want to build a room, like an exam, with all kinds of weird questions, and all kinds of small tricks inside. Only by finding the questions and solving them can you leave this room and enter another one..."
Yan Shiyue had a smile on her face.
Yes, it’s an escape room.
This was a sudden idea she came up with after returning from Jiangnan. The theme is the imperial examination, about a candidate who went to the country to take the exam and encountered this and that, such as a black shop and a bandit's den. The main purpose is to let the children play, broaden their horizons, cultivate their team spirit, and their enthusiasm for learning.
Yan Shiyue explained the concept to him in detail and said, "How about letting you do this?"
Xiao Tangzhi's eyes were surprisingly bright.
He just likes to play with toys, so she gave him a toy this big and big for him to play with. From scratch, all kinds of mechanisms, decryption, countless knowledge in all aspects can be used, this is really... too much to his heart's content, too fascinating.
Yan Shiyue said: "Don't make it too difficult. I want it to be just right. You know, I'm doing this for the children to play with, so first of all, it can't be dangerous, it can't be too scary. The main purpose is to let them gain some experience. Moderation is best. Can you do it?"
She looked at him and said, "If you want anything, you can ask Yuefang to do it. If this one is done well, I can also let you make other themes, such as military service, or for adults to play with. This one is your 'County Test', understand?"
Xiao Tangzhi nodded repeatedly: "I understand. Don't worry, Prime Minister!"
Yan Shiyue called Tang Xiaoying over and asked him to follow him for a while. Everything from selecting a location to dispatching personnel could be done through Tang Xiaoying.
Xiao Tangzhi took the order and left.
Yan Shiyue went to find Su Ji with the prescription.
Su Ji is over a hundred years old, but still in good spirits. Because he is currently studying Gu, he found a group of disciples to come over and found a special place for them, so he doesn't often stay in the palace.
Yan Shiyue went over and gave the prescription to Su Ji, and Su Ji was indeed very interested.
But he took the prescription and studied it for a while, then said, "This doesn't seem right. This doesn't seem to be a medicine, but a poison... Although they look the same as ordinary people, in fact, their entire bodies are 'dead'. They can't taste sour, sweet, bitter, or spicy food. They can't feel hot or cold when they touch things. They can't feel pain when they are burned by fire while sleeping. If you tap their shoulders, they may not even notice it. What's the point of living like this?"
He looked at her.
Yan Shiyue was also a little surprised. She had originally thought that if it could keep her youthful appearance and not cause any pain, she could just eat some! She had never expected it to be like this?
God is indeed fair. It’s better to have fewer dreams like this!
