I am engaged in construction in Datang

October 18, the 10th year of the Tang calendar.

Ah Zhu took today's newspapers and magazines and hurried into Li Lizhi's courtyard.

"Princess."

She took a breath and handed the magazine to him: "Take a quick look!"

Li Lizhi put down the brush in her hand and took Linglong: "Did you get on it?"

She flipped through the papers, making a rustling sound, and finally stopped at a certain page.

The Travels of a Heroine

Author: Danqing

"I was really selected." She touched the word "Danqing" on the paper, her expression bright and her lips curved.

This is a story about a woman who travels around the world to fight for justice. This genre has rarely appeared before.

"Given the princess's talent, it would be strange if she wasn't selected."

Li Lizhi read her own article again and then began to look at what others had written.

"Li Xiaojiu's Daily Life in the Army, author - I am the owner of Li Manor?" Li Lizhi raised her voice and frowned slightly: "How come someone came here pretending to be the owner of Li Manor!"

She clenched her fists, her face flushed: "If I find out whose daughter you are... I will never let you go."

Without reading this article, she moved on to the next one.

"My Mother, author: Mr. Li's admirer."

Li Lizhi clenched her fists a little tighter and said, "No, I won't read it. Go to the next article."

"The Sequel to The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, the author—wrote it to Master Li? You don't try to hide this at all?"

"Azhu." Li Lizhi said angrily, "Everyone mentions Master Li. Those young ladies really have no shame!"

"Princess, don't be upset."

Ah Zhu took out a piece of paper from her bosom and said in a serious tone, "Princess, this is the pen name Ah Zhu came up with for you. It will definitely surpass those girls!"

Li Lizhi's eyes flickered. She took the paper reluctantly, opened it for a moment and then closed it immediately.

The pink color instantly spread from the neck to the forehead.

“Stop talking!” Li Lizhi stopped Ah Zhu immediately when she saw she was about to speak, stammering, “I, I, I, I can just call you Danqing.”

What about those things like "Drunk because of you", "I am blessed with you", "Lan Yin Xu Guo"...she won't use them!

So Li Lizhi put the paper at the bottom of the box and didn't mention it.

She quickly flipped through Linglong, put it aside to read it carefully later, and then picked up the Chang'an Weekly.

“《大唐历18年10月关于男女嫁娶制度改革的提案》，自大唐历18年10月10日起，我朝女子成亲年龄不得低于15周岁，男子成亲年龄不得低于17周岁……”

"I, I'm not old enough?"

Li Lizhi was confused and wondered whether she should go back to the palace to live for a year and then come back?

Then look down -

"On October 18, the 10th year of the Tang calendar, the opening ceremony of the first Tang Games (abbreviated as Tang Games) will be held at the playground of Chang'an University in the eastern suburbs of Chang'an City...

Tickets go on sale at Liuweizhai on August 8, with different ticket prices depending on the seat: 11 coins, 88 coins, 108 coins, 158 coins and 238 coins.

Those who have obtained tickets please enter the venue in an orderly manner according to the seat numbers on the tickets."

"A'Zhu!"

Li Lizhi shouted: "Go buy a ticket!"

Ah Zhu knew that the princess was anxious, so she raised her foot and ran out. When she reached the gate, she turned around the pillar smoothly and ran back in a hurry.

"Princess! Princess!"

"Eunuch Su has delivered the tickets!"

……

10 month 15 day.

A quarter past one in the morning.

The first Tang Games will be held today, and no one in the village is asleep except the children.

Chang'an University.

"Have you written all the seat numbers?" The seats in the playground are all large stone steps, and since there is no strong glue, we can only use colored chalk to write on the vertical surface one by one.

Li Yin asked the people to bring their own cushions or futons to avoid hurting their buttocks after sitting for too long.

"It's all written, and the red cloth blocking the road has been pulled up. As long as everyone comes in in order, nothing will go wrong."

"Where are the athletes? Are the soldiers who are maintaining order in place?"

"The athletes have been accommodated in various inns in the city, and all are receiving the highest treatment." Feng Sanxi held his eyelids open. He was extremely tired these past few days and hadn't had a good night's sleep for three consecutive days.

"The soldiers have already been arranged. There are sentries every five meters, and a team of five people patrolling every hundred meters."

Li Yin checked again to make sure nothing was missed.

Three o'clock in the morning.

Staff members wearing red vests arrived, along with men beating drums and performing lion and dragon dances.

Today, a row of plum blossom stakes were inserted in the large playground in the middle. Li Yin personally checked them several times to ensure safety.

The lion dance experts will be on the stage today, and this test will all be about their real skills.

Four o'clock in the morning.

Dongdong brought the famous people from Pingkangfang with them. All the girls put on beautiful makeup, and various craftsmen also came with them.

The children from the First Affiliated Primary School also had a talent show, and there were also performers who understood music and played together.

Five o'clock in the morning.

Snack stalls were set up outside the playground early in the morning, and people could buy delicious food and bring it inside to eat, but they had to clean up their own trash.

Six o'clock in the morning.

People who got up early began to line up.

six thirty.

A circle of drums at the top of the stairs started beating at the same time, making a deafening sound.

The people standing in line outside the playground were excited. They looked up as if trying to see through the tall walls of the stadium and get a glimpse of what was inside.

"There's someone on the wall!"

"What are they doing? They seem to be holding something in their hands..."

"Look, something was thrown down!"

Rolls of red cloth were unrolled and dropped, and the words on them were clearly displayed before the eyes of the people -

Liuweizhai wishes the first Tang Dynasty Sports Games a smooth progress!

Tongfu Inn in Lantian County wishes the first Tang Dynasty Sports Games a smooth progress!

Jinji Pawnshop wishes the first Tang Dynasty Sports Games a smooth start...

"Hey, I know Liuweizhai and Jinji Pawnshop, but why is Tongfu Inn also joining in the fun?" a man asked in confusion.

"Yes, isn't it from another county?" Standing next to him was a fat man in brocade and silk clothes, and it was he who just told the man what was written on the paper.

"I'll go take a look there when I go to Lantian County tomorrow."

"Really?" The fat man narrowed his eyes.

"Of course it's true!" The man was unhappy. What? Did he feel that he couldn't afford to stay in an inn?

He is the master craftsman of the Nuzhuang engineering team and earns a lot of money every month!

"it is good!"

The fat man laughed and said, "If you get there, tell them you know Chen Xingyan and I'll give you a discount."

"What?" The man was confused.

"I am Chen Xingyan, the owner of Tongfu Inn." The fat man bowed and said, "Nice to meet you."

"Wow! Turtle, good fellow..."

The man's eyes almost popped out: "You are the shopkeeper!"

"Isn't it similar?"

"Similar!" He nodded his head vigorously. "Too similar, I just can't imagine it would be such a coincidence."

"Shopkeeper Chen, this red strip is not cheap, right?"

Hearing this, the soft flesh on Chen Xingyan's cheeks trembled twice, as if he remembered something he didn't want to recall.

He held up two fingers and made a "yeah" gesture.

"Hiss - twenty strings of coins?!" The man's face changed drastically. He only earned a little over two strings of coins a month, and it would take him half a year to earn twenty strings of coins!

"..."Chen Xingyan.
