Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 132 The Self-disciplined Emperor

There are more than a dozen different mirrors in Dugu Lanruo's room, and the eldest grandson Wugou exclaims again and again.

At this time, Dugu Lanruo said to the eldest grandson Wugou: "Sister-in-law, within half a year, those so-called famous families will not be able to get a single mirror."

After finishing speaking, Dugu Lanruo handed the round mirror in her hand to the maid Baoqin: "This side is yours."

"Thank you, princess." Baoqin didn't feel too excited, and calmly took the mirror with both hands.

The eldest grandson Wugou turned around and asked Dugu Lanruo: "Lan Ruo, if this mirror is in Dongshi, it will be snapped up."

"Sister-in-law, there's a saying that's true. The things we use at home, we just need to use them comfortably. We don't wait for the rice to cook at home, so why do we have to go into business? Could it be that if they want to buy, we have to sell?" Dugu Lanruo This was said with a smile, but the taste in the words was extremely cold.

Changsun Wugou also smiled: "Mu really did it, it will make all the ladies in Chang'an envy you."

Dugu Lanruo blushed instantly, she just thought of being angry at the nobles who laughed at her, but she forgot Liu Mu's affection for her, thinking of Liu Mu, Dugu Lanruo blushed naturally.

The eldest grandson Wugou didn't just let Dugu Lanruo go, and said, "Why don't I let Erlang enter the palace, ask the sage to decide, and advance your wedding date to... February."

"Sister-in-law." Dugu Lanruo said angrily.

Chang'an, inside the Tang Palace.

Peng Hai has already arranged for a reliable person to go to Duke Yi's mansion to retrieve the mirror that Liu Mu put there.

Emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty sat on the executive chair made for him by Liumu, and on the executive desk in front of him were three round mirrors and 24 box mirrors.

"Sorrow!" After watching for a long time, Li Yuan sighed heavily again.

Peng Hai stood aside without saying a word.

Li Yuan sighed again: "Everyone in the harem already knows."

"Yes, I know, and I know it in great detail. The old slave heard that Princess Qin had already left the north gate in the early morning and went to Jingyang. Just half an hour ago, Fang Xuanling, the chief historian of the Qin Palace, was at the Wenyue Pavilion, with injuries on his face, Mr. Mu Xiaolang said, the grape trellis in Fang Xuanling's house must have fallen."

"Grape rack?" Li Yuan turned around and asked.

"Yes, the old slave quoted Mr. Mu Xiaolang's original words. This is Mrs. Shi, the head of the house, who had some martial arts exchanges with the head of the house. It's just that the things in the backyard of this house are not easy to let outsiders know, Mr. Mu Xiaolang jokingly said , the grape trellis in the backyard fell down."

It was a very funny joke, but Li Yuan didn't laugh: "In my harem, many grape trellises are about to collapse."

"Saint, there are a total of 27 here." Peng Hai reminded.

Li Yuan shook his head: "There are only two and a half mirrors here."

Peng Hai understood Li Yuan's meaning, Princess Changping was just a princess, besides Concubine Wan Gui, there were concubines De, Zhaoyi, concubines, etc. in the palace.There are more than 15 people with children, especially boys.

"Sorrow." Li Yuan said this again.

Peng Hai suggested again: "Why not, Concubine Wan Gui is responsible for the distribution?"

"No." Li Yuan rejected the suggestion, and then explained: "She is a very kind person, so I should figure out a solution for this kind of trouble."

"Sage, why don't you..." Peng Hai wanted to say why he didn't put pressure on Liu Mu, but Li Yuan waved his hand: "The trouble is that no amount of mirrors is enough. And I can't."

Li Yuan didn't say he couldn't do anything.

But Peng Hai understood.

The subjugation of the Sui Dynasty was Yang Guang's excessively luxurious life, which was a waste of money and people.

So Li Yuan has always been very restrained, not allowing himself to have any extravagant thoughts.

"Sage, maybe this mirror doesn't cost much?" Peng Hai suggested.

After thinking for a while, Li Yuan said: "Erlang mentioned a few days ago that there are 25 small clairvoyances in total, and one big one. It costs about eighty gold, so one is hardware. Hardware!"

One gold is 16 taels, 160 taels of silver is 160 guan, and hardware is 80 guan, which is [-] yuan.If it is replaced by corn, it can be exchanged for four thousand shimi.

Too expensive.

During the reign of Wude, Datang was still suffering from internal and external troubles, so the world could not be regarded as peaceful.

During the Kaiyuan period of the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, it was still half a century later that a set of gorgeous palace dancer costumes cost three hundred guan.

Li Yuan suddenly said again: "Peng Hai, I will give you half a day off. Go to Wenyue Pavilion and ask me how much the wine will cost. If it costs too much, let Mu Shenzhi."

"Yes. The old slave will go now."

Li Yuan is really a good emperor, restrained and disciplined himself.

Later generations only know Tang Taizong, the one emperor through the ages, and how many people know what Li Yuan, who really laid the foundation for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, has done and how much he has paid.

Chang'an, Wenyue Pavilion.

Many guests came here, all wanting to see Liu Mu's so-called wisdom play.

Cui Yiye also came.

Young Master Cui waved his folding fan, wearing nine layers of silk clothes and mink fur.

In Wenyue Pavilion, Liu Mu was wearing a lambskin jacket, but he didn't wear a long gown like everyone else, but a pair of trousers made of woolen fabric.Then he held a hand warmer in his hand.

Li Bi next to Willow is also dressed in exactly the same way, with a short shirt and trousers, without the luxury of an aristocrat.

"Country ruffian." Cui Yiye looked at Liu Mu with a mocking look.

A female croupier wearing a vest and a light woolen sweater skillfully flipped a stack of specially made thick paper in her hands.

poker!This era is called Leaf Play.

Li Bi poured himself a sip of wine with a small wine bottle, and said in a very high-key manner: "In the Zhou Dynasty, King Cheng of Zhou and his younger brother Shuyu played with leaves. , using paper instead of leaves, so it is called the leaf play. This leaf play has 52 sheets, and I want to learn it."

When Li Bi was talking, he pointed at Cui Yiye, and then he pulled out the chair and sat down.

Cui Yiye smiled coldly and sat in the same position.

The female croupier began to talk about the rules of the corner, and then a special person put up a notice board with the rules on the side of the room.

Soon, all nine people were seated, and Liu Mu didn't play, but sat on the sidelines slowly eating pig ears and drinking small wine.

Li Bi said to Liu Mu: "Mu, why don't you play?"

"I'm poor, and it costs too much to curry favor with my wife. If I lose, I'll have to pay. Poor me, I'm poor, I only have some clothes and a mirror." Liu Mu replied with a smile.

Immediately, someone burst out laughing.

The person who laughed was Dugu Xiude, who is now punished by his family and removed from all official positions.The reason is that when Li Yuan dispatched Wang Shichong to Lingnan three years ago, he led someone to intercept and kill Wang Shichong halfway.
