Chapter 433: Movable Type (I)

Dong Qi left Duyou Castle, rode his horse slowly, and his heart was full of confusion.

I originally wanted to come and ask Jia Xu for advice, but after a long talk, my heart actually added many inexplicable troubles.

When he went out, Dong Qi heard Jia Xu's faint sigh. Although he could not hear Jia Xu's heart, he could understand Jia Xu's meaning from that sigh. His son grew up day by day, and in the blink of an eye, the youngest child was almost ten years old.

But to be honest, Dong really doesn't understand his children.

He loved them very much, but he didn't know how to communicate with them. Dong Qi, who has the mark of later generations, will try hard to put the best items he can out in the hands of the children, but cannot understand them.

On the one hand, he is really busy, but on the other hand, he doesn't know...

It was pitch dark and it was almost Yin. At this time, the city gates of Chang'an had not been opened, so Dong Qi was not in a hurry to rush.

As the seasons change, the time of dawn is constantly changing. When Dong Qi arrives in Chang'an, the city gate opens, but it is not yet dawn. Li Kui has secretly informed the Chang'an city gate captain, so the group of people and gods entered Chang'an City without knowing it.

It’s not that Dong Qi wants to do something, but that he doesn’t want to make a statement.

It can be guessed that as soon as the news of his return to Chang'an spread, he would immediately become busy. He wanted to stay with his family quietly for a while, so he asked Li Kui to come forward and said that he was ordered to go home to report the letter, but it did not mean that Dong Qi would come back with him.

The Great Governor's Office was closed, and shiny copper nails were embedded on it.

Two red lanterns swayed in the bleak autumn wind, which looked particularly eye-catching. Dong Qi did not walk through the door... that was too obvious!

There are not many people in the entire Chang'an City who can open the Yimen Governor's Mansion. As long as the Yimen Governor's Mansion opens, it will immediately attract people's attention. Therefore, the Dong family, who had received Li Kui's advance notification, opened the corner door in the alley and waited for Dong Qi to arrive.

Even if someone is staring at the Grand Governor's Office, he is not afraid.

The lion-maned beast was not accompanied. Under the cover of the troll, Dong Qi dismounted outside the corner gate and walked into the home.

Yes, at home...

Although he had not been in this mansion for long, this was his home. Especially when he walked into the corner gate and saw Cai Yan, Dong Lu and Ren Hongchang, three girls, leading a few children to stand and wait behind the door, a warm current flowed through Dong Qi's heart.

"Madam, you have cleared it!"

At the age of thirty, Dong Qi no longer had the unrestrained feelings of his early years. He learned to be restrained. But just this faint greeting made Cai Yan burst into tears. He walked forward and looked at Dong Qi up and down, "A Chou, you have also lost a lot of weight."

Have you lost weight?

Dong Qi didn't feel it. I guess... maybe I've lost a little bit.

After asking Dong Lu and Ren Hongchang, Xiao Wenji and his three younger brothers came forward to greet each other. In a flash, the children have grown up.

Dong Tie and his wife Keats were also in the mansion.

Since Dong Qi went to war, the security of the Grand Governor's Mansion has been left to Dong Tie to control. Later, Keats simply moved into the Grand Governor's Mansion. He chatted and laughed with Cai Yan and the other two, and stayed in the mansion at night. Dong Tie's son is already five years old.

Dong Tie is now the father of three children, including two daughters and only one son.

The daughters were named Dong Wei and Dong Xiu, one was six years old and the other was eight years old. The son was named Dong Yan. It is said that Dong Tie wanted his son to learn literature when he grew up, so he named such a name. But unexpectedly, his boy was born to be obsessed with swords.

Dong Qi felt the warmth that only home has.

The Dong family members were strictly selected. After learning from Dong Zhuo's lessons back then, Dong Qi was very concerned about this. Not only did he demand loyalty, but he also had some skills. For this reason, the total number of slaves and maids in the Dong family was only 200.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, there were trolls guards; the family slaves lived in the courtyard, mainly some swordsmen who were disabled or unable to become martial artists for some reasons, supplemented by thirty tall and strong Kunlun slaves, a total of more than 90 people. These swordsmen came out of the martial arts camp and had nowhere to go. At the same time, they were loyal to Dong Qi, so they were qualified to enter the Grand Governor's Office. There were not many people, but they had a strong combat power.

After entering the courtyard three times, it is the inner house.

The main ones were female soldiers who retreated from the Luanwei camp, supplemented by some maids brought from the Western Regions, controlled by Dong Lu and Hongchang.

Therefore, Dong Qi didn't need to worry that the news of his return to Chang'an would be spread.

After walking into the study with his family, Xiao Wenji ran to Dong Qi and snuggled up to her.

This girl is already eighteen, but likes to stick to her father as a child.

"Xiping, what do you want to do when you sneak back secretly? Even when you go back to your own home, you must be like a thief."

Cai Yan was a little dissatisfied and muttered softly.

Dong Qi smiled and said, "What can I want to do? It's just that I want to spend more time with you... You also know that if someone knows that I'm back, I'm afraid the family will not be able to calm down immediately. Then, how can I have time to spend with you? Hey, why does it seem like there are fewer people?"

Huang Yueying is not here!

Logically speaking, when Dong Qi is back, Huang Yueying should come out to greet him.

The living room is full of family members. Cai Yan sighed and said softly: "You are back just right. Go and persuade that girl, as if she is possessed. I have been in her yard all day for the past two years and never go out... I am so sage, no one can persuade me."

Dong Qi was stunned, "What is she doing?"

"What are you doing? You're not trying to trick your printing press?"

"ah?"

Ren Hongchang whispered: "Actually, at the beginning of the year, the girl from the Huang family had already made some printing techniques!"

When Dong Qi heard this, he said in surprise: "No, it's done so soon?"

"You went to war for two years, and the Huang family girl had been working on it for two years... It was done, but later I didn't know what evil was, and I always felt that there was something wrong. A few days ago, I got a lot of things over and was in the yard all day and didn't go out at all."

Dong Qi stood up and walked outside.

"I'll go over and take a look!"

"A Chou, don't worry... I have something to tell you."

Cai Yan grabbed Dong Qi, "When it comes to the Huang family girl, I think you should consider giving her a title when you come back this time?"

"ah……"

"The Huang family girl is already twenty-two years old, and you are always dragging it like this. It's really not a problem. Last year, her father came here, and it's a bit anxious. But you were in Luoyang at that time, and the Huang family girl stopped her husband and refused to let him mention this matter... Ah Chou, that girl is a honest person, you must not let her down."

Dong Qi was silent for a moment, then looked at Dong Lu and Ren Hongchang.

"you……"

Dong Lu smiled and said, "Husband, don't ask us. I have lived together for so long, even if I am not a sister, I have become a sister now."

"If this happens, please ask my sister to come forward and ask Mr. Huang for a marriage on my behalf. Well... November 2nd is a good day, how about it?"

"Yeah, I think it's OK. Since you agree, I'll start making arrangements."

After Cai Yan finished speaking, he stopped caring about Dong Qi.

Dong Qi walked out of the study room, after turning a few turns, he came to where Huang Yueying lived. It was still the same small yard, but it seemed that there were more things inside than before. There were many things, and Dong Qi couldn't name them at all, so he stayed at the gate of the yard for a while.

By this time, it was already dawn.

From a wing room, two girls came out, one was Xiao Yuer, the other was Xiao Mutou, and Huang Yueying's two maids.

When they saw Dong Qi, the two girls were shocked and immediately stepped forward to salute, but were stopped by Dong Qi.

"Miss, can you get up?"

"Master Qibing, Miss... I don't know yet."

"Why, my family didn't tell her, am I back today?"

Xiaomu Tou smiled bitterly and said, "I've notified me, but the lady didn't know what she thought of last night, and she was alone in the study... I mean, the lady has often been like this in the past two years. Once she thought of something, she forgot everything, and even didn't think about it."

Xiao Yuer also said: "When we notified the lady yesterday, she was very happy. But at night, she was thinking about things alone in the study. We urged her to rest earlier, but she just agreed... and later she drove us out, so she didn't know that she is now..."

"Okay, I'll go in and take a look!"

As he spoke, Dong Qi was about to push the door and walk into Huang Yueying's study.

Xiao Mutou grabbed him, "Master, be careful. When the lady is thinking about problems, her temper will be very irritable... a little bit, a little bit unrecognizable. Last year, the old man came to visit the lady, and happened to be thinking about things. As soon as he entered, the lady was smashed out with something, and blood was thrown on her head... But the old man was not angry, but he was quite happy."

Master, it must be Huang Chengyan.

I have known Huang Yueying for a long time, and Dong Qin has never seen what Xiao Mutou said.

My heart couldn't help but feel a little more careful. I gently pushed open the door of the study, but fortunately... no UFO appeared.

The butter candle has been extinguished!

There was no trace of Huang Yueying outside, probably in her workshop.

Dong Qi walked in lightly, but was startled by the messy scene in the room.

Beside the walls and on the ground... are placed with templates engraved with words. There are also many things that look like seals scattered all over the floor.

Huang Yueying lay on the workbench, as if she was asleep.

At her hand, there was a stack of paper. Dong Qi walked over gently, took off his robe from his body, and put it on Huang Yueying's body. The girl had no reaction, but just slapped her mouth and made a uniform snoring sound. It seemed that she was really exhausted.

A faint fragrance of ink was emitted on the paper.

Dong Qi's eyes couldn't help but lit up, and he immediately saw the difference between this and ordinary books.

It was printed... not handwritten or rubbing. Ren Hongchang had told him before that Huang Yueying had already been printed. Dong Qi sat down and gently read the book in his hand that might be the first printed book in history. It was "Tao Te Ching".

I couldn't help feeling interesting.

His first book to be marked out by punctuation was not the "Tao Te Ching".

Maybe he noticed something... Huang Yueying suddenly broke away, picked up a dagger for cutting paper, and turned around to look.

"Brother Dong..."

"Ah, Yueying, are you awake?"
