"Why? The maids are all watching." Chen Youlan glared at Li Xin. She was very worried that she would not be able to establish the authority of the mistress in Chu Palace.

Li Xin didn't know her little thoughts, he smiled and scratched her little nose stubbornly, and said: "Just look at it, you are my wife, don't you want to hide secretly when I kiss you?" ?”

Chen Youlan was speechless, so she could only murmur bitterly: "What kind of wife is not a wife? I don't know where you learned it from. Am I that old?"

Although the term "wife" has indeed been circulated since the Tang Dynasty, it was not used as an address between ordinary couples at the beginning, but was only used between elderly couples to address elderly women. Li Xin just followed the habit of later generations to say it subconsciously.

"Of course you are not old. You are still young, ma'am." After realizing his mistake, Li Xin immediately changed his words, with a smirk still on his face.

Chen Youlan still wanted to feign anger, but couldn't help but feel that the word "madame" in Li Xin's mouth was really sweet, so she failed, and showed a smile instead.

Not long after Li Xin and Chen Youlan arrived home, a carriage from the palace arrived at the door. It was driven by two wrestlers. Needless to say, what was loaded on the car was of course the documents submitted by the local government newspapers to apply for the Zhenguan Award.

Chen Youlan knew that this matter must have something to do with Li Xin's official duties, maybe this box of documents was what Li Shimin discussed with him in the Liangyi Hall this morning.

Li Xin regretfully said to Chen Youlan: "Your husband and I have business to do. You can play by yourself for a while, and if you want to go out, remember to tell Wang Gui and bring two more guards. You are so beautiful, I am afraid it will not be safe. "

Chen Youlan rolled her beautiful eyes, ignored Li Xin's smooth tongue, and went on her own.

Li Xin smiled and said to Wang Gui who was not far away: "Remember to send someone to look after her. She can go wherever she wants to go, but if she loses a hair."

Wang Guile said with a chuckle: "You don't need to say more, I will immediately break the guard's leg."

Li Xin shook his head with a smile, and ordered Wang Gui to carry the large box of documents into the study. To be honest, he couldn't wait to see it.

These documents include the design drawing of the invention, the description, the application for the Zhenguan Award, the basic information of the applicant, and so on. Li Xin mainly wanted to see the first two.

But these things don't look easy. Because all the design drawings are drawn by the applicants themselves, there are many kinds of designs, good and bad, sometimes it is really hard to understand what they want to express. Even if it is combined with the manual, Li Xin has to guess to understand eight points.

The only good thing is that most of the documents and materials here correspond to a reduced model, which is stored in the warehouse of the Ministry of Industry. It is precisely because the documents and these models have to be collected from all over the Tang Dynasty to Chang'an that the selection of the Zhenguan Award was delayed until now.

What Li Xin has to do is to find more valuable ideas among these documents, and then go to the warehouse of the Ministry of Industry to check the corresponding models to see if the person who applied for the Zhenguan Award really solved the problem he proposed. out of the question. If it is appropriate, it is natural to award the Zhenguan Award to others.
