Chapter 66: A Petition to the Virtuous (Part I)
The money is buried very deeply, Li Su is a very careful person, buried too shallow for fear of inappropriateness, anyway, the Wang brothers have the strength, when burying the money, they simply let them dig a three-foot deep pit, and now it is very hard to dig the money.
The king's mouth is not idle when he is working.
"Li Su, you've been running to the river beach lately, and you don't play tricks with us anymore......" Wang Zhuan's tone was a little resentful.
"You don't like the things I like, I can't take you." Li Su thought for a while, and added: "Of course, I can't agree with the things you like, such as peeking at Widow Yang's woman taking a bath." ”
"What do you like?"
"In a daze, sitting on the beach in a daze, your mind is blank, you don't think about anything, you sit for an afternoon, do you like to do this? If you like it, I'll take you with you. ”
The Wang brothers shook their heads decisively. The two of them can break their heads and bleed, but they just can't sit still.
Wang Zhixin's eyes were a little more than Wang Zhuan, and he said with a smile: "You are not the only one on the river beach recently, I heard that Princess Dongyang also often runs to the river beach, last time the princess was taken captive by the strongman, and even you took it with you......"
Wang Zhu and Wang Zhi glanced at each other, and said: "Li Su, you are more awake than us, this should not be reminded by us, the princess is a golden branch and jade leaf, we are just a Zhuang family, we are too close...... It's not good, let alone think about her, after all...... Not all the way. ”
Li Su smiled bitterly: "I don't have any thoughts about her, it's just that I often meet her by the river beach, and it just so happens that she also has a hobby of being in a daze, so we just daze together." ”
Wang Zhuhan smiled: "It's good to be ...... if you don't have a heart."
As he spoke, he suddenly turned his face and slapped Wang Zhi hard, and Wang Zhu scolded: "I just said that Li Su is not the kind of person who is confused, what are you worrying about?" ”
Wang Zhi scratched his head and laughed.
Li Su also smiled, but there was a trace of bitterness in his heart.
Are you really not interested in Dongyang? Every day by the river beach in a daze, chatting together, completely forgetting the disparity in each other's status, she has never put the princess on the shelf, and he has never felt how unattainable the princess is, and she gets along more and more like a pair of old friends for many years, and they even breathe with each other as if they have a tacit understanding.
However, Wang Zhu was not wrong, she ...... After all, she is a princess, no matter how she doesn't care about her identity, she has this identity after all, he and her can be friends, but they can never become husband and wife, her future is in the hands of Li Shimin.
The chaotic thoughts were interrupted by the Wang brothers, and the money was finally dug up.
Wang Zhu stared enviously at the pile of copper coins in the pit, smacked his lips and said, "Li Su, why didn't you see that you were making so much money before?" How much have you earned in the past few months? ”
"It's nothing." Li Su responded with his mouth, bent down and struggled to take out two pieces of money, and threw it in front of the Wang brothers: "Take it, go home and hand it to your father, just say that you will help the steward of the princess's mansion dig a ditch, and Princess Dongyang will reward it when she passes by." ”
King Zhu stared at him in astonishment.
"See what? How can I marry my mother-in-law if I have no money? I heard your mother say, your mother took a fancy to the second daughter of the Zhou family in Niutou Village, the Zhou family had a hard time, and let out the words, the dowry is 200 Wen, no less than a penny, who called his daughter Shui Ling, these two runs to you, after giving the dowry, please ask someone to renovate the house, the money is spent, don't be left, in the future, Wang Zhi and the fourth child said kiss and I will give it again. ”
"This ...... Li Su, this is not suitable, we can't ask for it, we have hands and feet, make money by ourselves, and take the face of others. Wang Zhuan blushed and said.
Wang Zhi originally wanted to take it, but when he saw the boss say this, he had to withdraw his hand stupidly.
Li Su kicked Wang Zhu with a kick: "Am I 'someone else'?" Give it to you and you'll take it! How poor has your family become? Can you get 200 Wen? If you don't have the money to marry your mother-in-law, how will you have a baby in the future? Is the Wang family going to inherit the lineage? Wang Zhi, ignore your brother, put the money away, quickly! ”
Wang Zhi hesitated, but still slowly held the two pieces of money in his arms.
The two pieces of money flashed with seductive golden light in Wang Zhi's arms, and Li Su suddenly felt that his heart was stabbed by a needle, and he might be bleeding from pain......
With his eyes closed, he waved sadly to the two: "Take the money and leave, I'm about to change my mind, quick!" ”
Wang Zhu didn't have time to speak, Wang Zhi spread his legs and ran away with the money so fast that he didn't even see a shadow.
Li Su pointed at Wang Zhuan: "Your second child will definitely be better than you in the future." ”

Lao Li's house was built quickly.
Dozens of craftsmen who repaired the palace were transferred to repair the houses of peasant families, which were really used to kill chickens with knives, and at first the craftsmen could not help but have a little contempt and impatience in their hearts, until Li Su took out the drawings and pointed out to them those novelties that they had never heard of, and the craftsmen put away their contempt.
Li Su hadn't been to the river beach for several days, because he was very busy, and he had to take care of all the big and small things on the construction site, of course, why he didn't go to the river beach maybe he knew best.
…………
Before you know it, early summer is approaching, and the village can gradually hear all kinds of noisy cicadas.
There is a temple in the southeast of ten miles away from Taiping Village, the name is "Tianfu Temple", the incense is very vigorous in the Sui Dynasty, since the first year of Zhenguan, this temple has broken the incense overnight, no one dares to enter the temple to worship the Buddha in a radius of 100 miles, the monks in the temple have no one to support, and they gradually scattered away.
There is a reason why a temple with strong incense suddenly runs out of incense, and the reason is related to an incident.
The incident is called "Xuanwu Gate Change", Wude nine years, Li Shimin, who was still the king of Qin at that time, launched a mutiny outside the Xuanwu Gate, and killed his brother and his own brother, such as the eldest grandson Wuji, Yu Chigong, Cheng Biting Jin, Qin Qiong and other civil and military generals rose up and attacked, and the prince and Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, were finally defeated by the general trend, and the army was defeated and executed.
Xuanwu Gate Change, the battlefield of killing is not only Xuanwu Gate, this mutiny affected the entire Guanzhong, and outside the Tianfu Temple dozens of miles away from Chang'an City, there was also a bloody battle on the day of the incident, the leader was the famous general Qin Qiong, led 30,000 horses and Prince Zuowei led more than 50,000 people to encounter here, the two sides immediately launched a fight to the death, the battle was killed to the sun and the moon, the blood flowed like a river, tens of thousands of people died outside the Tianfu Temple, died in the compassionate eyes of the Buddha statue.
Qin Qiong was wounded in more than 20 places in that battle, but the price was that the entire prince's left guard rate disappeared.
Since that year, no one dares to set foot in the Tianfu Temple, where the incense is vigorous, and after more than ten years, it seems that the rust-like bloody smell of corrosion outside the temple can still be faintly smelled.
On this day, with the sound of cicadas, Tianfu Temple was empty and uninhabited on the path covered with barren grass, dozens of people walked slowly, the first one was wearing an ordinary light silk shirt, with an iron belt tied around his waist, and his head was not crowned, only a bun was pulled at will with a hosta, and the person accompanying him was also dressed casually, but the two walked and looked forward to naturally showing a bit of temperament that was not angry and arrogant.
Looking at the surrounding wasteland full of weeds, Li Shimin, who was dressed in microclothes, sighed, and his expression was a little ashamed.
"Today should invite Shubao to come with you, this place is the place where Shubao spilled his blood, if it wasn't for the service, if it wasn't for Shubao desperately intercepting the prince's left guard rate outside the city, who is the master of the country in the Xuanwu Gate, I am afraid it is unknown."
Accompanying Li Shimin is also an important minister of the court, Fang Qiao Fang Xuanling, hearing that Fang Qiao also sighed: "Shubao has been seriously injured since that battle, lost blood and fought closely, and since then his body is not as good as day by day, and now he is lying on the sickbed, and he needs the support of his nephew and nephew even when he walks." ”
A trace of pain flashed in Li Shimin's eyes: "Famous generals of the Tang Dynasty, it's a pity, it's painful!" ”
