The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"Well, just let him come in directly." Li Yuan said, "When did this kid become so reserved when he came to Da'an Palace?"

"I heard that His Royal Highness Prince Jingyang is about to get married, and he looks much more calm than before." The old minister next to him laughed.

"Is it related to this?" Li Yuan asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, we are all experienced people, isn't this certain?"

"Yes, yes, yes, yes." Li Yuan laughed.

Li Fu came in from the door and saw Li Yuan sitting at the card table, and came to Li Yuan.

He greeted the eunuch next to him.

"Bring me a stool."

"Yes." The eunuch responded, and soon, a small round stool was brought over.

Li Fu reached out to take it and sat directly next to Li Yuan.

"Uncle, good news." Li Fu said.

"Well? What good news?" Li Yuan asked.

"Marriage." Li Fu said, "My nephew's marriage with the daughter of the Duke of England is settled."

"Settled?" Li Yuan asked.

"Well, the Queen's sister-in-law said that after the meeting, I don't need to worry about the rest. She will take care of it. When the people in the palace go to the Jingyang Palace, they will tell me what to do, and I will prepare according to what she says."

"Hahahaha, it's really a good thing." Li Yuan said while playing cards, "You have settled this matter. I feel relieved. It's best. It's settled this year, and the marriage will be next year. I can see my little nephew the year after."

Li Fu could only smile along.

Good guy, urging marriage and childbirth.

It's inevitable at any time.

However, given the current situation of the Jingyang Palace, he can understand Li Yuan's anxiety.

As for why the engagement and marriage are not this year, everyone knows that the preparations for the wedding between the rich and powerful families are complicated, and there are various procedures. After the engagement, the two families start to prepare. Even if it takes a year to prepare, it is considered fast.

Some people need to prepare for two or three years after getting engaged.

As for having children after marriage, Li Fu thinks that it can wait a little longer.

He doesn't want to ruin his marriage with a child.

Li Shao is only sixteen this year, and he has to wait for about four years, otherwise Li Fu can't accept it.

Moreover, having a child at this age is too harmful to the body.

I can have a child at any time, but Li Shao can't.

The person I like must be treated as a treasure.

"Wait a minute!" Li Yuan said to the other three card players: "I'm losing! Hahahaha."

Li Yuan laughed very happily.

"Give me money, give me money!" Li Yuan shouted to the other three people to pay.

"The emperor lost this hand of cards, it's really good."

"Good guy, now all the money won yesterday has been paid out."

Li Yuan happily took the money and stuffed a gold cake to Li Fu.

"Well, I'll give you the lucky number." Li Yuan said with a smile, "You brought good news today. I'm so happy. When you come, I win the game. Double happiness. When I play mahjong in the future, please come more often."

Li Fu responded with a smile.

It seems that the emperor regarded himself as a mascot for playing mahjong.

During the days he lived in Chang'an City, Li Fu was not idle. He wrote down all his ideas for the stadium. Although the drawings were not good-looking, at least the diagrams were detailed and all the information that could be given was written on paper. Then he sent someone to deliver them to the farm as fast as possible and handed them over to Yan Lide.

As for the subsequent drawings, I'll trouble the two brothers.

It will take some time to produce the drawings. When the drawings are out, Li Fu will return to the farm. If there are any problems, they can discuss and modify them in person.

But the construction of the stadium may have to wait until autumn. If it is fast, it will be built in a year and it will be put into use in the autumn of next year.

By then, the people around Chang'an City will have something to do.

Li Fu was also thinking about another thing.

That is the painted boat on Qujiang Lake. Otherwise, the Jingyang Palace also built a painted boat and let it float there?

This thing should be equivalent to the private yacht in later generations, right?

After it is built, it will be placed on the dock. No matter when you go, you can use it at any time for entertainment and vacation.

Qujiang Lake is very large, and there are several docks that can be docked.

However, it is not difficult to build a painted boat. The subsequent maintenance has always been inseparable from people, and one or two people have to be hired to take care of the painted boat.

There are also boatmen and so on when the painted boat is used.

Li Fu was thinking about whether this is feasible.

Li Fu called Zhao San and asked about the Qujiang disk painted boat.

"If it is during the New YearDuring festivals and when there are lively activities, it is hard to find a pleasure boat by the Qujiang Lake. "Zhao San said, "You need to make reservations very early in advance. As for weekdays, many literati and elegant guests will inevitably visit the Qujiang Lake and drink and write poems on the Qujiang Lake after coming to Chang'an City. If you want to use a pleasure boat on weekdays, it is not difficult. Just give a notice one day in advance."

"What do you think if our mansion builds a special pleasure boat and docks it at the dock of Qujiang Lake?" Li Fu asked.

Zhao San thought for a while, and then said, "The noble families in Chang'an City also do this. It is not difficult, but it needs long-term maintenance in the future, otherwise it will be abandoned in a few years. "

The Jingyang Palace can certainly afford to maintain it, it's nothing more than hiring a few more people.

"Okay, then this matter is settled. Find someone to build a pleasure boat. There are people who specialize in this. Let them send the drawings to the palace and I will personally select them." Li Fu said.

"Yes." Zhao San responded.

Zhao San worked very quickly. The next day, he brought people and various drawings of pleasure boats to the Jingyang Palace.

Li Fu sat in the study and looked at the drawings. After repeatedly comparing and selecting, he finally decided on the style of the pleasure boat.

Regarding the construction of the pleasure boat, Li Fu just chose the drawings in a proper manner without too many additional requirements. After all, he didn't understand the boat. Once too many changes were made, the new boat would be the Qujiang Pool in the world. If there was any problem, it would probably be the fun of the whole Chang'an City.

After Li Fu selected the blueprint, Zhao San led people to the accountant and paid the deposit first.

In the afternoon, someone came from the palace and told Li Fu that the Imperial Astronomical Observatory had selected several auspicious dates. On that day, His Majesty would issue an order to grant the marriage, and the Empress would act as a matchmaker and go to the Duke of Ying's Mansion.

Li Fu didn't have to worry about these. What he had to prepare were the three books and six ceremonies.

The eunuchs in the palace would live in the Prince of Jingyang's Mansion in the next few days to help prepare these things. If they couldn't prepare them recently, they would tell Li Fu what to prepare on what day.
