Volume 2 Luoyang Xing Chapter 111 Gift-giving
Li Qianli continued: "Princess Taiping, I have prepared a silver ticket of 10,000 taels of silver, and there is no problem!" ”
Because of Wu Zetian's presence, Princess Taiping still doesn't dare to blatantly expand her power, and mainly relies on money to buy her, so it is better to give her silver than anything else.
"But the poem for Shangguan Wan'er hasn't been settled yet!" Li Qianli said with a bitter face, "I have also found a few well-known literati to write a few poems, but the literary style is average, I'm afraid I can't do it!" ”
Shangguan Wan'er doesn't like money, and her biggest hobby is collecting fine poems. Li Qianli can buy other things with money, but good poems are hard to find, and they can't be bought with money, which makes Li Qianli scratch his head very much!
"What's so hard about that? Write a poem like this, I'll help my uncle solve it! Lu Xiaoxian said with a smile.
Anyway, plagiarism is not every time, Lu Xiaoxian walked to the desk, sharpened the ink pen and wrote.
After writing, Lu Xiaoxian handed the silk paper to Li Qianli.
Li Qianlilang chanted: "Who has always been a talented woman, and the wrong jade is a pearl and a boat." He said that he was thinner than Huanghua, but he was like Huanghua in late autumn. ”
Sure enough, it's a good poem!
Shangguan Wan'er's problem was solved, Li Qianli was overjoyed, and he asked with a smile: "Virtuous nephew, are you sure that the imperial heir doesn't need to give gifts?" ”
The imperial heir in Li Qianli's mouth refers to Li Dan.
In that year, Wu Zetian deposed Emperor Li Xian as the king of Luling and renamed Li Dan as the emperor. After that, Li Dan was placed under house arrest in the palace, and he was not allowed to hear about political affairs, and began the life of a puppet emperor.
Later, Wu Zetian was officially called the emperor, honored the title of the Holy Spirit Emperor, changed the name of the country to Zhou, Li Dan was demoted to the emperor's heir, given the surname Wu, moved to the East Palace, and all etiquette was compared with the specifications of the crown prince.
Lu Xiaoxian shook his head and said: "Your Majesty is very protective of him, he himself is difficult to protect, giving him a gift is no different from looking for death, isn't my uncle doing this to put a noose around his neck!" ”
Listening to Lu Xiaoxian's words, Li Qianli felt a chill down his spine, so he didn't say anything.
Lu Xiaoxian pondered: "In the previous letter, I omitted a person, now that I think about it, this person must give him a gift, and he will play a big role in the future!" ”
Li Qianli asked strangely: "Who are you talking about?" ”
"To be precise, it should be two people, they are brothers, one is called Zhang Yizhi, and the other is called Zhang Changzong!"
"Zhang Yizhi? Zhang Changzong? How have you never heard of it! Li Qianli asked suspiciously, "Are the two of them important ministers of the imperial court?" ”
"Not really!" Lu Xiaoxian shook his head, "They are just two young people, but in the future, they will be favored by His Majesty, and they will speak with great weight in front of His Majesty!" ”
Li Qianli wanted to ask again, but Murong Zhen on the side took over: "Husband, don't ask, listen to the virtuous nephew, do what he wants!" ”
Lu Xiaoxian smiled at Murong Zhen, it seemed that she understood the meaning, if Li Qianli wanted to get to the bottom of it, he really didn't know how to explain it.
Murong Zhen asked Lu Xiaoxian, "Tell me, what kind of gift should I give to Zhang Yizhi's brother?" We didn't prepare in advance! ”
Lu Xiaoxian pondered for a while, and then said: "They have not been favored by Your Majesty for a long time, Your Majesty gave them a mansion, if I guess correctly, they are now short of the people in the mansion!" ”
"That's easy!" Li Qianli said with a relaxed face, "Tomorrow, we will go to the market to buy some maids and send them to his house, as long as we can do it with money, it won't matter!" ”
Listening to Li Qianli's words, Lu Xiaoxian couldn't help frowning. I don't know where he got so much silver, and the whole feeling of being an explosive household.
Murong Zhen also shook his head and said: "It's not proper, those people bought in the market are not trained, so it is impossible to send them to us, which makes people think that we are perfunctory, maybe it will backfire!" ”
Li Qianli said with a bitter face: "Madam, what do you say?" ”
Murong Zhen pondered: "That's it! The slaves and maids we brought to Luoyang this time have all been carefully trained, so let's pick some clever ones from them and send them over! ”
Listening to Murong Zhen's words, Lu Xiaoxian was quite surprised. Although it is said that the slaves and maids of large families have no status and are equivalent to things, but in any case, after being trained for a long time, there are still some feelings. Murong Zhen said that he would send it out, and he was not reluctant at all, seeing that she was still a courageous woman, much stronger than Li Qianli.
Seeing that Lu Xiaoxian didn't speak, Murong Zhen was mistaken, and hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, nephew, I have promised you that Yin Feng and Lang Yue are your people, and I won't choose them!" ”
Lu Xiaoxian smiled and said, "You can choose some more people, bring the two of them with you, and send them to Zhang Yizhi's brother's mansion together!" ”
Murong Zhen looked at Lu Xiaoxian strangely: "Why?" You're ......."
"Because I'm going to be sent to Zhang's Mansion with them!" Lu Xiaoxian is serious.
"You?" Murong Zhen saw that Lu Xiaoxian didn't seem to be joking, and asked eagerly, "Why are you doing this?" ”
"Uncle, aunt, I've thought about it, if you want to really gain a foothold in Luoyang in the future, it's not enough to just give gifts, but also to establish relationships here. The Zhang brothers are an excellent entry point, and I want to take this opportunity to break out of the world for you! ”
Lu Xiaogosi's words are very beautiful, in fact, he mainly thinks about himself, since he has come to Luoyang, it is impossible for him to return to Lingnan.
Murong Zhen said with a worried face: "Virtuous nephew, you have to think about it!" When you really go to someone else's house, it's not like me, in case you still have Yin Feng and Lang Yue......"
"Auntie, don't worry, I know it in my heart!" Lu Xiaoxian is confident.
……
Early the next morning, as soon as Lu Xiaoxian woke up, he saw Yin Feng and Lang Yue busy.
"Childe, are you awake?" Yin Feng smiled sweetly at Lu Xiaoxian.
I haven't seen the two sisters for almost two months, and Yin Feng's flowery figure and pretty face look in Lu Xiaoxian's eyes, which makes his heart flutter.
"Miss me, huh?" Lu Xiaoxian asked with a hippie smile.
Yin Feng blushed and did not speak.
Lu Xiaoxian knew that she was thin-skinned, so he didn't tease her anymore, hurriedly got dressed, and asked while washing, "Haven't Lord Li and Mrs. Li gotten up yet?" ”
Yin Feng replied, "My lord and lady were picked up by someone from the palace early in the morning!" ”
"Picked up early in the morning?"
Li Qianli arrived in Luoyang yesterday, and Wu Zetian received him today, which shows that the auspicious rui he sent played a big role.
During the meal, Yin Feng and Lang Yue were still standing aside, and Lu Xiaoxian's chopsticks were about to go crazy as soon as they stared at them.
Yin Feng was very well-behaved, and hurriedly stuck out his tongue and sat down, and Lang Yue also sat down with his sister.
The three of them talked and laughed, and they ate for more than an hour before it was over.
Yin Feng and Lang Yue put away the dishes and chopsticks, and Lu Xiaoxian walked out of the room where he lived with his back hand.
