Things in Chang'an City have faded out of Li Dongsheng's eyes, he took his son to the family's Zhuangzi to watch the farmers farming, let his son pick up the hoe and wave it a few times, take his son to the workshop to see how people do work, watch the chef cook, in short, let him try everything, don't understand too much, but at least don't know nothing.

As long as Li Siwei doesn't learn to read, he is happy to do anything, he goes out happily every day, and goes home covered in mud, and even Li Lin, who loves him the most, can't stand it: "You take him out crazy every day, do you want my good grandson to take the Jinshi exam?" ”

The old man spoke, the father and son had to admit it, Li Siwei hung his head and went to study, Li Dongsheng smiled and prepared to eat. Li Lin said to Qian Duoduo: "You also take care of him, you can't let him stay at home all day long, idle all day long, see what has become of it, and if you stay at home again, you will immediately take my good grandson bad." ”

Qian Duoduo nodded yes, but his big eyes still looked at Li Dongsheng with a smile, and he felt that he couldn't see enough. Li Linshi saw her expression and knew that there was no hope for relying on Qian Duoduo, so he sighed and left, thinking about it when he was not at home, and being annoyed at home, this is the true mood of every mother when she sees her son.

Li Jing closed the door and guarded himself, even his relatives could not enter the door to see him, and his son was also very low-key, Li Dejian resigned from his position in the Ministry of Industry and was at home every day. Li Dongsheng returned to Lantian, and the line of Wei Guogong seemed to have suddenly disappeared from the court, and everyone tacitly agreed not to mention it again, as if it had never existed. Li Shimin has not been able to keep up his spirits after the death of Empress Changsun, and he doesn't care much about political affairs, he is lazy about everything, where is there still a little bit of wise and martial imperial demeanor, Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling They are all hard persuasion, but they have no effect, where can the grief of losing relatives come out so easily.

It was early winter again, and Li Ting came back from the Western Regions. When he arrived at the Li family's old house, he was told that Li Dongsheng did not know his home and was in Zhuangzi outside the city. So he turned around and went to Zhuangzi, but now it is not called Zhuangzi, it should be called Manor. Li Cheng got the money to buy most of the land outside the city, and now no one knows Li Bancheng.

When Li Cheng and his group walked away from Li Dongsheng's manor, they were shocked by the scenery in front of them. On the boundless field, rows of small houses are neatly built, and the top may be filled with legendary glass, where countless farmers are busy, although it is a cold climate in winter, but everyone is working with a white smile.

When he found Li Dongsheng, he was talking to someone in one of the houses, looked up and saw Li Ting, and when he came up, he gave him a hug: "You are finally back?" How about in the Western Regions? ”

Li Ting smiled and said, "What can it do?" They were all guests of the king's seat. The one who dares to offend me? Don't they want the goods? ”

"Haha, okay, that's what you want." Li Dongsheng said: "Let's find a place to have a drink in the evening, and you can tell me about the Western Regions." ”

Li Ting nodded and asked curiously, "What is this house for?" Why glass on top? ”

"Oh, this is called a greenhouse or a greenhouse, and it's for growing vegetables?"

"Growing vegetables? Spend so much money on growing vegetables? How much can a dish sell for? When will I earn it back? "Li Ting is also an old Jianghu now, and after calculating it, the cost is several thousand.

"Isn't it going to be winter? Your sister-in-law said that there are no vegetables to eat, so I thought about using this to grow vegetables in winter, thinking that the people around me were idle in winter, so I built a little more, let them get it, and also have an extra income. ”

Li Ting was dumbfounded when he heard this: "Just so that your wife can eat vegetables in winter, you are making such a big move?" It's too extravagant. ”

"You can't say that, it's just to create some income for the people of the manor, and everyone will have a better life, and this thing can make a lot of money. Think about it, the icy and snowy Chang'an City can only eat meat in winter, if there is a bright green cucumber to sell, will you buy it? ”

"Of course you buy it, you're saying you can grow cucumbers this winter?" Li Ting is also a rich man now, the kind of money that spent, so he is interested in how to make money.

"It's not just cucumbers, you can grow anything, I'll build this greenhouse, and they decide what to plant for the rest, and then pay back the money I built when I make money."

Li Ting looked at the green leaves that had sprouted in the ground, and said curiously: "It's really sprouted." ”

Daniel Zhang, who spoke, came over, and Rou Niang sat on his shoulder, shouting "drive" in her mouth, and the people she saw laughed. But Daniel Zhang was triumphant and treated her like a treasure. Daniel Zhang was also happy to see Li Ting: "When did Young Master Li come back?" ”

"When I first got home, I heard that you were married. I haven't given you a gift outside yet, I'll bring it to you when I get back. Seeing the beautiful Rou Niang, Li Ting took out a piece of jade from his arms: "This is your daughter, there is nothing good in a hurry today, let's make a meeting gift." ”

Daniel Zhang was just about to resign, but Li Dongsheng smiled and said, "He is now a rich man, so you can take it." ”

Let Rou Niang thank you, and Daniel Zhang took her to play somewhere else. Li Ting looked envious and said, "Daniel Zhang is married, and the children are all there." ”

"Don't you envy others, you don't have ideas outside? Do you have a favorite candidate? ”

"I don't think about marriage, but I heard that my parents found one for me, and I don't know what it looks like?" Li Ting sighed and said: "There are a lot of scenes outside, but there is no one who is really tempted, anyway, it is to live." ”

"Seeing how sad you say, it seems that there is a story. Tonight you have a story, I have wine, we don't get drunk and don't go home. ”

As night fell, bonfires were everywhere in the manor, and from a distance it looked like stars had fallen to the ground, Li Dongsheng took advantage of Li Ting's return to let Zhuangzi slaughter more than a dozen sheep, and there was a barbecue meeting, and there was laughter and laughter everywhere.

Li Ting lay comfortably on the woolen mat: "It's better to be at home, I've seen a lot of this way of eating in the Western Regions, and you still use this thing to entertain me, it's too perfunctory." ”

"There's nothing good in the country manor, that's all. If you want to eat well, go to my restaurant tomorrow. By the way, tell me about the situation in the Western Regions. ”

Li Ting said: "The Western Regions are too big, and I have only taken part of it." After I destroyed the Turks in the Tang Dynasty, I began to operate the Western Regions, and now it is just the beginning, where there are many small countries, in fact, it is the same as our towns, but the mobility of people is large, and they are basically the transit stations of the big food and our Tang Dynasty, there are many ethnic groups, special chaos, but there are also different customs from the mainland. ”

Li Ting fell asleep as he spoke, he hadn't come back for several years, and now that he was home, he was very relaxed. Li Dongsheng originally wanted to ask how the arranged thing was going, but seeing that his brother was sleeping so soundly, he shook his head: "Carry him into the house." ”
