Chapter 138: Staying in the King
I don't know how Aunt Fu operated, but after a few days, the note was set up, and Mrs. Jin found Mrs. Gu and Gu Ming as evidence, and the two families set up the words as evidence.
After handling the affairs of Mrs. Gu, the two sides changed the Geng post and set a date for marriage.
Because the weather is getting warmer, it is not a good day to get married, so I simply set the wedding date after the autumn harvest, when the weather is getting colder, there is anything to eat and food can be put down, and besides, there are more idlers, and it is easier to find someone to help or hire someone when you get married.
After Li Chun's marriage was completed, he received a letter from Zhang Yong, saying that Li Feng'er was fine in the palace, and Li Luan'er was also relieved.
The major events in the family have been decided, and Li Luaner has to solve two more major matters while she is not busy now.
One is the construction of the hot spring village, and the other is the mining of silver mines.
She spent a few days drawing drawings, and discussed with Mrs. Jin, and began to find craftsmen to build Zhuangzi, and in addition, she got a lot of flowers called Taohuazhuang to plant.
On this day, the foundation was laid, Li Luaner took Li Chun to the Taohuazhuang construction site to inspect, she went late, and carefully inspected, asked about the construction period, and talked to the foreman, and waited until he finished reading, it was not early, Li Luaner found a clean and uninhabited farmhouse courtyard and Li Chun to live.
After dinner, seeing that the people in the village were asleep, Li Luan'er called Li Chun and the two of them to change their clothes and go up the mountain.
She took Li Chun upriver in the direction of the stream, inspected as she walked, stopped and stopped, and it took about half an hour to reach the halfway up the mountain, and then let go of her mental power to investigate, and found the silver mine, Li Luan'er instructed Li Chun to dig.
Li Chun has also learned the art of refining the body for several days, although it is not as fast as Li Luan'er's spiritual power to learn in the body, and his strength is great, and he is not as good as Li Feng'er's understanding, but in the end, it can be regarded as infinitely powerful.
He first took a hoe to soften a piece of the field, and then used a shovel to dig a pit about two feet deep, and some of it was impossible to dig it down.
Li Luan'er hurriedly stopped, jumped into the pit and found a few pieces of iron-black branch-like ore, and swiped it hard, and saw a silver-white scratch, Li Luan'er laughed: "This silver mine is really good, rich in silver and easy to purify, brother, let's pick up a few pieces and go back to refine." ”
"Okay." Li Chun laughed and jumped down the pit to pick up a few pieces, and the brother and sister wrapped up the silver mine, buried the pit again and returned the same way.
Back in the farmhouse, Li Luan'er found a small iron pot, and asked Li Chun to build a simple stove, got a lot of dry firewood and lit it, Li Luan'er put the ore into the pot, took an iron rod and kept stirring it, and Li Chun sat aside to add firewood.
After being busy for two hours, Li Luan'er was able to purify a few pieces of ore, looking at the silvery-white molten metal in the pot, she wiped her sweat and showed a bright smile on her face.
Li Chun also saw it and said happily: "Okay, okay." ”
"Shh Li Luan'er made a gesture and told Li Chun to lower his voice: "Brother, be quiet, let people hear that you are going to arrest us in prison." ”
Li Chun had been in prison and knew what it was like to be in prison, so he quickly covered his mouth in fright, and said after a while: "Don't say it, brother won't say it, no one will say it." ”
Li Luan'er smiled, poured the silver liquid into a wooden mold, and sat next to Li Chun to tell him a story while waiting for the silver liquid to cool down.
In the middle of the night, she finally got a few large silver ingots, Li Luan'er saw that the silver was too big, and she was afraid that something would happen, so she broke it into a small silver horn and put it in a bag, and threw half of it to Li Chun: "Brother, take it and play with it." ”
Half of it was left by herself, intending to go to the market the next day to buy something and see if the silver nuggets she had refined would be accepted by the merchants.
Li Chun took the silver, as if he was happy, and jumped back to the house to count the silver horns, Li Luan'er shook his head, brushed the iron pot, and dismantled the stove, and then went back to the house to sleep.
There was nothing to say all night, the next day Li Luan'er got up early, called Li Chun, and rushed back to the capital with a carriage.
Neither of them ate, so Li Luan'er found a clean breakfast stall and sat down to ask for two large bowls of wontons, and bought more than a dozen baked cakes to eat.
The brother and sister both had a huge amount of food, and they didn't eat enough for ten big baked cakes, and there happened to be a trader selling meatloaf on the side, so Li Luan'er asked Li Chun to buy more than a dozen meatloaf.
These meatloaf were eaten, and they felt full, and when it came to the checkout, Li Luan'er took out the silver horns, and the two merchants were a little dumbfounded.
It's not that this silver is bad, the silver ore that Li Luan'er got is very good, and the quality of the refined silver is also good, it's just that people's small books are generally bought and sold copper coins, where have you seen silver.
"This, this." The two sellers looked at Li Luan'er in embarrassment: "Big lady, we are buying and selling with a small capital, this is ...... There are too many giving, we can't find it, I don't know if the eldest lady has copper. ”
Li Luan'er really didn't bring copper coins, looked at half a bag of silver horns, thinking that this silver was easy to come by, so he also made a return to the local tyrant, and the family threw down a piece of silver horns, and waved his hand generously: "Come on, the rest should be rewarded to you, don't look for it." ”
The two merchants thanked them vigorously: "Mrs. Xie, Mrs. Xie, ...... Mrs. Xie"
Li Luan'er smiled and waved her hand, thinking that there was still a lot of silver left, so she took Li Chun to buy all the way, and just as the shops around were opened, these two people walked from the street to the end of the street, bought a lot of things for food and play, and the upper half of the carriage was packed with boxes of oil and paper bags.
After shopping for a few streets like this, Li Luan'er's shopping addiction was not enough, and she went shopping on the street of Wenwan.
After spending his own silver, Li Luan'er wanted to pass Li Chun's bag of silver again, and just happened to see a Sibao Zhai on the side of the road, Li Luan'er pulled Li Chun in, but saw that this shop was not small, half of the place was filled with books, and the other half was sold for the four treasures of the study.
There is no shortage of the four treasures in this study, and Li Luaner didn't want to buy them, but seeing that there were a lot of books in this shop, she thought about buying some and going back to read them.
Li Luan'er first bought a stack of papers and asked Li Chun to take them aside to play, and she herself looked at the bookshelf by shelf, found a few well-written books, and bought a few books on the geography of mountains and rivers.
Fenghuang County is a small county in the end, where is the background, where are the books from the capital, Li Fu has a good memory, he can write down a book after reading it once or twice, and after reading the Li family's books, there is nowhere to find books.
Thinking of Li Fu's difficulties, Li Luan'er took down these books, bought a few books that Li Fu was interested in, and took a thick stack of books to the counter to settle accounts.
She put the books away and was about to call the shopkeeper to come over to settle the bill, when she heard a low but beautiful voice saying: "Shopkeeper, I asked you to carve the purple bamboo pen holder." ”
Li Luan'er looked up, but saw a man in his twenties dressed in purple and embroidered with a golden moire pattern walking into the shop.
The man's appearance is very charming, with slender eyebrows, upturned fox eyes, straight nose bridge, thin pink lips, and that noble bearing, which makes people feel a little ashamed of themselves when they see this man, and after a glance, they dare not look at it again.
It's just that Li Luan'er has a lot of heart, she has seen more beautiful men, and even the stars of all kinds of beautiful men she has seen in modern times are not much worse than this man, but she doesn't think so.
"You're here." The shopkeeper's attitude was respectful, and he was a little afraid, and he stepped forward to greet him with a smile: "It's been done, you can take a look first, if you are not satisfied, the little ones will change it." ”
The man nodded, with an awe-inspiring bearing: "Take it out." ”
Li Luan'er saw that the shopkeeper probably didn't have time to settle the bill with her first, so she found a place to sit down and read the book.
The man was about fine, stared at Li Luan'er for a few moments, and then hooked his lips and smiled, there was something meaningful in his smile.
After a while, the shopkeeper took the pen holder, Li Luan'er looked up, this cylinder is really carved from purple bamboo, the pattern on it is not complicated, just an orchid and a poem, but it looks very elegant.
The man stretched out his hand to take it and looked at it for a while, then nodded: "It's okay." ”
The shopkeeper laughed, and took out a box with good workmanship for the man to pack, and the man lifted the box, but threw down a piece of gold and pointed in the direction of Li Luan'er: "The books that the little lady bought are also settled together." ”
After speaking, he smiled at Li Luan'er and left, and Li Luan'er, who was laughing, wanted to shiver, so he quickly stood up and said loudly: "Hey, you wait." ”
It's a pity that Li Luan'er chased out the door, and the man was long gone.
Li Luan'er returned, looked at the smiling shopkeeper and patted the counter: "Shopkeeper, who was that person just now?" Why check out with me? ”
The shopkeeper was dumbfounded when he heard this: "Little lady, you don't recognize him, so how can he ......?"
While walking, the shopkeeper looked at Li Luan'er, and saw that she looked beautiful, and her bearing was very good, coupled with the book in her hand, she was also a very talented woman, and secretly said in her heart, isn't that the master who took a fancy to this little lady and wanted to accept her as a concubine.
The more I thought about it, the more the shopkeeper felt that it was possible, and there was a little more smile on his face: "Little lady, you don't know the master just now, that's a very rich lord." ”
Li Luan'er frowned: "There are more rich masters in this capital, how do I know who he is." ”
The shopkeeper lowered his voice: "That is the uncle of today's official family, the king of Gandi." ”
Hearing what the shopkeeper said, Li Luan'er nodded and understood.
Although this king is said to be the uncle of today's official family, but it is not a real uncle, Taizong has two sons, the eldest son is Gaozong, the second son is King Liujing, is the father of the king, Taizong likes the second son to hate Gaozong, has always wanted to help the second son to ascend the throne, but the ministers have not agreed because of the elder system, in the meantime, there are also many things, and the ministers to die to admonish each other, Taizong has no way, the second son is the king, and has been staying in the capital as an adult.
In Taizong's later years, Gaozong's position was stable, but Taizong couldn't, so he had to set aside a piece of the rich land in Jiangnan to seal it for the king to leave behind, and asked him to take his family to Jiangnan.
When Gaozong succeeded to the throne, although he was a brother with the king of Liu, he could think of the hardships he suffered under the king of Liuwang when Taizong was a little angry, so he divided the fief of the king of Liuwang to the land of Jiangxi, until now, the old king died, the king of the old king only had one son, the new king inherited the prince the year before last, and now the official family ascended the throne, and the king should have come to the capital to congratulate him.
