Chapter 193: New Year's Gifts
"On the New Year's Day, what are you going to give to your father and queen mother?" Li Chengqian came to Li Chuan with a task.
Li Chuan is now in a state of living at both ends, and when he doesn't have to go to the palace to attend classes, he runs to the fiefdom and comes back when the class is in progress.
This made Li Shimin want to find someone several times, but no one was there.
The matter is not important enough to the extent that it is necessary to arrest people in the fiefdom and return to the palace, but the feeling of depression has not diminished at all.
"Well, I didn't think about it." Li Chuan really didn't think about it, what else could he give except modern handicrafts?
"Then think about it, remind you, if you give a gift to your father's heart this time, you may be promoted to the title." Li Chengqian seduced.
Li Chuan didn't get as happy as he imagined, but touched his chin and thought.
What to think about? Of course, I was wondering if it was good or bad to get to the knighthood.
In fact, Li Chuan really has no pursuit of official positions and titles, for him, as long as there is no shortage of money to spend, no one dares to bully him, and that's it.
Whether the official position is high or not, what can the knighthood be high or not? Isn't the current Yipin master still listening to his lectures? It's not bad, okay.
"Hey, make a statement." Li Chengqian pushed Li Chuan angrily.
"Ah, got it, let me think about it, do you think there are too many festivals this year? Every time I give a gift, I don't know what to give at all, if I give a red envelope, will Your Majesty be happy? "Li Chuan really wants to solve everything with a red envelope.
But the problem is that Li Shimin is really not short of money now.
After all, the glass process is becoming more and more mature, as long as the store he opened is new, it will be sold out, and there is no competitor Li Chuan, Li Shimin is a lot of silver in his arms, and he is happy every day, all of which means that he is in a good mood.
Li Chengqian rolled his eyes and said, "You can try." After speaking, he came over again, "Father shouldn't like red envelopes, but I like them, why don't you send me a red envelope." β
"Heh, are you asking for a bribe? I'm not afraid of being beaten on the board. Li Chuan pushed Li Chengqian's head away.
Li Chengqian thought about it with a puffed bun face, and said: "If your red envelope is more than 10,000 taels, then I will also admit it if you are beaten on the board." β
"Dreaming." Li Chuan glared at him, it would be good not to pretend to be a penny for him, and pay back 10,000 taels? Don't be funny.
"Alas, I'm really miserable, why haven't I made money all the time?" Li Chengqian complained with a bitter face.
"Who's to blame? The restaurant has also opened, and the business is good, but you have to open a chain, so you can't put money into it. Li Chuan said unhappily, so much so that he also had to invest money in it, like a money-eating machine, almost all the money he spent selling glass products was invested.
"What, isn't this to seize the market, or what you said."
"I'm right, but there's no end to the money, you can slow down a bit, really." Li Chuan sincerely proposed.
Li Chengqian shrank awkwardly, "You can tell my mother about this, if she agrees, I don't have any opinion at all." β
Li Chuan was also speechless, if he could talk to the queen mother, he still needed to waste words with him here?!
Forget it, just open it, open it and open it to become the largest chain restaurant in Datang, and he will be able to lie down and eat dividends in the future.
In other words, he still took the name of the VIP building, why did he take such a name? Li Chuan can only say that he didn't think much about it at the time, and he came out with a bald mouth, and then those people agreed with it, so they used it.
After thinking about it when I got home, I remembered that it wasn't the name of a certain Gegli, but it didn't matter, the name was still a good name, and it would be nice to let it start in another world.
"Anyway, think about it, my father is looking forward to your gift." Li Chengqian got up, patted the corner of his robe, and said, "I have to go back, and remember to enter the palace on time to attend the banquet the day after tomorrow." β
"Got it." Li Chuan waved his hand, and it was all about sending him off.
His classroom has already been built, and now the craftsmen are repairing the water tower, and when the water tower is completed, this year's work can be stopped, and the next spring will come again.
However, in Li Chuan's opinion, in fact, this is fine, he has now moved into the villa, leaning on the warm kang, he can't feel the cold at all, and he doesn't know how comfortable he is compared to when he first came.
I think it will get better and better every year.
But the most important thing for now is to think about what gift to give to Li Shimin.
"Dear sailors, use your imagination and let's think about the gift."
[Yo, the anchor asked for help again.] γ
[Anchor, don't you feel guilty for making such a great cause of traveling through history and changing history as a live broadcast into the daily life of Datang? ] γ
"Not at all, my goal is to eat and wait to die, to be a salted fish." Li Chuan replied and yawned.
[Salted fish anchor 66666]
[Anyway, I'd love to see him salted fish.] γ
[That's right, other anchors are too positive, and they will always get tired after watching too much. γ
[People are actively running for their lives, okay, the real salted fish will die. γ
[Haha, the anchor is blessed, there is no danger, just salted fish. γ
"Okay, don't fart, let's get down to business, what kind of gift to give?" Li Chuan interrupted them, if they didn't interrupt, they would talk endlessly, the urine sex of these water friends, Li Chuan had already been so ripe that he couldn't be more ripe.
It's strange to say, he is so salted fish, there are still people willing to give him a reward, originally Li Chuan felt that he could no longer receive a reward, so he could only be self-reliant, but I didn't expect ah, he salted fish is also liked by others, probably, he is too handsome?!
Thinking about it, Li Chuan tidied up his hairstyle.
Speaking of which, his hair has grown quite long, and it can be tied up to become a short ponytail, but such an ugly hairstyle is still forgotten, and if he can't pull the bun, he can only simply pull it at the back.
It looks okay from the front, but from the back, it shouldn't look good.
Li Chuan usually doesn't care, this embarrassing transition period is necessary, anyway, if he doesn't appear on any formal occasions, he doesn't need to get his hair done.
When you attend the banquet, let the little silver fiddle with it.
It's just so time-consuming, and all kinds of silver hairpins are inserted in the hair, and they are also very heavy, and you have to wear a fake bun, which feels so embarrassing, especially when others know that your hair is not that long.
[I think, it's better to send a computer, with a small piece of U disk, to ensure that Li Er can't stop watching it. γ
[I'll go, brother, you're planning to ruin the Tang Dynasty. γ
[Hahaha, Li Er watched a small film, so you can't practice it? ] Blessed are the women of the harem! Salivaγ
[Create more princes,, I feel that the royal family of the Tang Dynasty is worthless. γ
[I feel that Li Er is going to be abolished. γ
Li Chuan looked at the topic and deviated again, he could only shrug his shoulders helplessly, he knew that it was useless to interrupt now, the sailors were always extremely excited when they talked about this kind of thing, not to mention that they would never stop.
In fact, think about Li Shimin watching a small film~~ Tsk, that kind of picture is too beautiful, he doesn't dare to think about it.
If the computer is passed, he will definitely not send the computer.
I haven't used it myself, and I'm still giving it away? Stop dreaming.
It's not that Li Chuan doesn't want to use it, it's just that he has been following people around him, and it's not suitable for using a computer, besides, charging is also troublesome, and when he doesn't get a generator, he doesn't want to take out the computer for the time being.
So what do you want to give away if you don't send a computer? Let him think about what else is new and interesting that can make Li Shimin happy.
Globe? It doesn't seem to work, they still think that the sky is round, this cognition, Li Chuan doesn't want to break it personally, how interesting it is for them to break it by themselves.
Why don't you send a car? You can buy some gasoline for Li Shimin to practice driving, but it will probably be very expensive.
Moreover, the road conditions of Datang do not support the running of cars, unless it is off-road.
For the time being, the off-road vehicle is used as an alternative, Li Chuan continued to think.
The queen mother is good to say, just send the makeup that was not sent before this time.
Women will absolutely love things that make them more beautiful.
Li Chuan really asked Mo Lianhua about the price of the off-road vehicle, and then he silently exchanged a gift.
Well, just send the knife, the long knife, the kind that is particularly sharp, the process that Datang will never be able to do, as for whether you like it or not? Li Chuan felt that Li Shimin would not be annoying, so it would be fine.
Buying the long knife, Li Chuan felt a lot more relieved, looked at the snowflakes floating outside, decisively put on cotton clothes, and went to check the newly built classroom.
The classrooms are as simple and practical as Li Chuan's design, with two floors, two classrooms on each floor and a king-size bathroom.
Now the fire wall on this side of the classroom is also burning, and you can feel a warmth when you go in.
It is not only to test whether the fire wall is good or not, but also to bake the moisture of the new building.
After all, using it just after covering it is actually bad for health, and it should be put into the air first.
But how to let the wind out in the winter, it is better to use baking, anyway, his coal does not cost money, and he can use it casually.
Speaking of coal, it has become popular to use coal to burn stoves in Chang'an City, and they always feel that coal is not easy to use, especially because people who use coal have caused several deaths, and they are too scared to use it.
But after Li Chuan reminded everyone to build the flue outside, this kind of accidental death was completely avoided.
Coupled with the quiet prevalence of honeycomb coal, every family uses a tin stove.
The cost is low, the heating effect is good, and there is no danger, so fools don't use it.
Speaking of which, Li Chuan didn't know how honeycomb coal became popular, anyway, the news of Datang spread quickly, and there were people with magical powers everywhere, and he felt that he couldn't hide anything from their eyes.
Li Chuan really thought right, so there were some people who were responsible for staring at him.
I don't come close, just watch what he does, and then try to recover when I go back.
Most of the people who do this are from families.
They wanted to contact Li Chuan at first, but Li Chengqian was always with Li Chuan, and finally waited for Li Chuan to leave the palace, but the emperor sent another Xu Jingzong.
Xu Jingzong knew what the emperor sent him for, but the family understood differently, they thought that Xu Jingzong was the eyeliner that the emperor put on Li Chuan's side, and it was still clear.
is specifically responsible for recording who approached Li Chuan, seeing who Li Chuan came into contact with, and then reporting it.
This is not good, the family cannot take the risk of doing things under the nose of the emperor.
Originally, the family was popular, and the emperor was already staring at them, and then the emperor was careful to wear small shoes for them, which would not hurt the muscles and bones, but it would definitely be a lot more trouble.
So the family had no choice, so they thought of a way that was not a solution.
That's why what Li Chuan once made was leaking out so quickly.
Li Chuan is very happy to see this, and the more the people use these practical things, the happier he becomes.
Originally, it was also going to be promoted, but I didn't expect that now he would even save the effort to promote.
Or when it comes to the wisdom of the people, they should not underestimate it, and what they stand for, that is, what is good for them.
Some people may be deceived, but it is absolutely impossible to deceive all the people.
After taking a turn outside and taking a breath of cold air, Li Chuan said to Xiao Yinzi: "Do you think we should start school after the New Year, or is it better to start school after the fifteenth year?" β
"If you want the slave to say, it's better to pass fifteen." Xiao Yinzi didn't haha, but gave a suggestion seriously.
"Why?"
"After fifteen years before the end of the New Year, after the New Year, it is the time when the families begin to pay New Year's greetings, at this time the personnel move around is very frequent, it can also be said that the officials and rich families are the busiest time, whether it is relatives and friends, they have to take care of it, people are not favored, it is very likely to offend people, the gains outweigh the losses, so this time to start school, not the best time."
Li Chuan nodded, "It makes sense, then the school will start after the fifteenth, so that I can relax for a while." β
Xiao Yinzi glanced up at Li Chuan, and stopped talking.
Li Chuan raised his eyebrows, "What's wrong?" Just say something, you've been with me for so long, and you still don't know my character? β
Xiao Yinzi sighed silently in his heart, and said a little indescribably: "Master, you have to take it as a serious matter when it comes to holiday gifts, although our housekeeper is from the palace, but he may not be able to cover everything, you still have to ask." β
The reminder is already very subtle, and it almost doesn't say that you think you're still a little person? When you are in officialdom, you have to abide by the rules of officialdom, dare not be polite, believe it or not, and then put on small shoes for you.
It's not a matter of gifts, it's a matter of respect, if you don't give a gift, people will only think that you didn't take him seriously, can this not offend people?!
Li Chuan's face was a little dark, ah, human relations, why didn't he react just now?
I thought about the gifts I wanted to give to Li Shimin for a long time, so I forgot about the others.
In fact, he didn't forget, for example, Qin Qiong, he remembered it, and Niu Jinda, Li Daozong, these were relatively close, but he really didn't think about the others.
Now that I think about it, it's really his fault, no matter whether the relationship is good or not, but at least I know each other, I can say hello when I meet, and I may even touch a glass when I meet at the banquet, although he drinks white water, but it can't be because of this, he doesn't even give face.
"I see, let the butler prepare the gifts." If you know your mistakes, you can change them, and you are a good child.
Xiao Yinzi was speechless, and he didn't want to tell him, and by the time he thought of the gift, the daylily had already been cold.
