Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 106 The Shangyuan Festival of the Seventh Year of Wude
Hearing that Li Bi asked for benefits, Liu Mu smiled strangely.

After laughing, Liu Mu said in a low voice: "Well, I promise, your wife will not beat you in about one and a half months. And after one and a half months, your wife will probably not beat you for two or three months. "

Li Bi waved his hands: "It's boring to say this, I'm afraid you don't know, Princess Changping has also practiced martial arts."

Liu Mu shook her head and smiled: "So what if she is the number one female swordsman in the Tang Dynasty? Treat each other with courtesy, but force is useless. I'm going to watch their rehearsal."

"I'll take a peek." Li Bi took off the sackcloth he was wearing for work as he spoke.

Li Dejian sat still and did not move even after being urged twice by Li Bi.

"You're not going?"

"The future oiran has several wooden figures in her house. She likes to use flying knives to stab her vitals. I don't know if her fists are strong, but my mother has praised the flying knives several times. After Li Dejian finished speaking slowly, Li Bi quickly put on his work clothes again, and said: "My lord forgot, the cashmere dyeing is very important, I have to look at the book myself."

Liu Mu and Li Dejian looked at each other and laughed.

A few days later, on the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, in the Furong Garden in the southeast of Chang'an City in Tang Dynasty.

As the huge garden gate was opened, qualified visitors lined up to enter one by one.

Furong Garden was first built in the Han Dynasty and flourished in the Sui Dynasty. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty excavated the Furong Pool, which is called Furong Garden.Aquatic plants such as lotus and calamus are planted in the pool.Pavilions, halls and pavilions are hidden among the flowers and trees.As a scenic spot in Chang'an, Furong Pond is open regularly, and ordinary people can visit it. Shangyuan, Zhonghe, and Shangsi are the most popular;

Some palace people shouted outside the door: "Holy Grace, the Furong Garden is open. The Shangyuan Festival will be open for three days."

This was the first day of the Shangyuan Festival, and ordinary people poured into the Furong Garden.Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival night, and the emperor of the Tang Dynasty will also come to the Furong Garden to have fun with the people.

It is said to have fun with the people, but not many people are eligible to enter the park.

In the Tang Palace, Emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty even personally checked the rehearsal of the dancers in the palace. The dance clothes on these dancers were worth dozens of pieces each, which was already extremely luxurious in the early Tang Dynasty.

"This year's performance is good. Tomorrow night, the Furong Garden will have fun with the people." Li Yuan praised and then turned his head and asked Peng Hai: "Has Changping entered Chang'an?"

"If you return to the saint, you will enter Chang'an in the morning."

"Then why don't you come to the palace, I'm still waiting for her gift." Li Yuan complained.

Peng Hai immediately replied: "Sage, Mr. Mu Xiaolang borrowed a set of buildings and gardens in Pingkangfang, and began to renovate them as early as January. The old slave sent someone to inquire, and Mr. Mu Xiaolang kept it a secret. It was Princess Changping who told the old slave that there was a surprise there."

"Oh? Surprise!"

"It's a surprise."

"I like surprises, order me to go down and set up Pingkangfang." Li Yuan smiled cheerfully.

But Peng Hai signaled the little eunuchs to stay still, and stepped forward half a step to reply: "Saint, there are still two hours before dark, I'm afraid you won't see any surprises if you go now."

"No need to say much, immediately set up Pingkangli. Even if I sit in the carriage and wait, I will still be in Pingkangfang."

Peng Hai persuaded again: "Saint, there will be a small banquet tonight, and many important officials and celebrities will enter the palace."

"Let's go to Pingkang Square together."

Ever since Li Yuan saw the clairvoyant, he has been waiting for a special gift for himself. The clairvoyant is really magical. Li Yuan has been thinking about what kind of gift it will be when he is free these days.

The anticipation is really blissful.

Peng Hai immediately asked someone to release the news that before Emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty came out of the palace, the aristocratic officials of the Tang Dynasty had already heard about Pingkangfang.

The gate of the building in Pingkangfang was closed tightly, and a red cloth was hung on the signboard to block the signboard.

Before the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty arrived, there were already many nobles waiting outside. They would not call the door, because the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty had not arrived yet, so naturally there was no reason for them to go in first.

This is an aristocratic area, and many people came very early.

Qin Wang Li Shimin arrived, and the carriage had just stopped. On the other side, Tang Prince Li Jiancheng was followed by Qi Wang Li Yuanji in the carriage.

"The prince is well." Li Shimin greeted him.

Li Jiancheng shook Li Shimin's hand: "We have a mother and brothers, and Erlang shouldn't be celebrating today's festival."

"Brother is well."

"Okay." Li Jiancheng laughed, and Qi Wang Li Yuanji stepped forward to greet him: "Second brother is well, and second sister-in-law is well." After asking the gift, Li Yuanji asked directly: "Second brother, Sanyuan Liumu belongs to you." ?”

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Young people in the countryside, I appreciate some wisdom. He is from Changping, not a brother."

Li Yuanji said in a blunt tone: "He humiliated my people. Either my second brother will allow me to arrange for Sanyuan County to be replaced by a county magistrate. Or, sell me the Xiangxifang, or help me build one."

Li Shimin was still smiling, and Li Jiancheng also maintained a smiling expression.

In this matter, since Li Shimin did not admit that Liu Mu belonged to him, then Liu Mu was not under the protection of Prince Qin's Palace.Li Jiancheng would not take the initiative to speak up, he just needed to give Li Shimin a step later, and Dugu Lanruo would save face.

Li Yuanji continued: "My man has no rules. He first proposed the idea of ​​washing his incense, but he humiliated him in public and interrupted the servants' hands and feet. These can be evened out. But in the whole of Chang'an, there are only me and me. Eldest brother’s house doesn’t have precious scented washes, so should Younger Sister Changping explain this to my younger brother?”

"That's right. How about this, give the second brother a face. The second brother knows that there are two workshops. The first workshop uses the fire soda stone from Tongbai Mountain and boils water. It is called the alkali workshop. The fragrance washing workshop is taken separately. It's yours, how about paying a high price to repay Changping's face?"

"It's a deal." Li Yuanji agreed happily: "I don't want his cauldron forging workshop, but the incense washing workshop. I will give him fifty gold for that recipe alone, plus the workshop for him." One hundred gold."

"Family, don't be upset about this trivial matter. Changping has not been easy these years. As the elder brother, I will also give fifty gold to give Changping imperial sister face for Shiro." Li Jiancheng also interjected.

Li Shimin cupped his fists: "Since that's the case, I'll go and talk to Changping."

"Very good."

The Crown Prince and the King of Qin said a few more polite words, and after saying some unnutritious words, you all stood on both sides of the garden, waiting for the arrival of Tang Emperor Li Yuan.

As Wang Gui approached, Li Jiancheng asked in a low voice, "What do you think?"

"I'm afraid it has nothing to do with His Royal Highness King Qin. His Royal Highness Loves the House and Wu, and still protects Princess Changping. But the Sanyuan Liumu is not attached to the horse, but I heard rumors that the sage is very satisfied with him."
