Chapter Sixty-Nine: The Boat of Friendship

"Although Xiao Jing said it, as long as he can do it alone, he will not refuse." When Li Chengqian heard Xuan Shijing's promise, his face was overjoyed.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also knows about the private business of the Hou Mansion in the past two years." Xuan Shijing has nothing to hide from Li Chengqian about the business of the Hou Mansion, Li Chengqian is also one of the shareholders of the Shengtang Group, judging from the dividends he has received over the years, what the business of the Hou Mansion is like, he naturally has a number in his heart.

Li Chengqian nodded: "This Gu has an understanding, I don't know what Xiao Jing wants to do and needs Lone's help." ”

"It's nothing, the money is piled up in Chang'an City and I have collected a few pieces of land, and I want to build some houses to sell, Your Highness, you also know that more and more people have settled in Chang'an in recent years, and Chang'an City has a lot of land." Xuan Shijing said: "What I want to say is this matter, about the harvest of this land, the profit distribution is still the same as before. ”

Li Chengqian was puzzled: "Actually, Xiaojing, the money you earn in your house doesn't need to be distributed to the three of us, what are you doing." ”

"In the past ten years, the Shengtang Chamber of Commerce has not been suppressed to death, in fact, there are also the merits of the three highnesses, after all, the names of the three highnesses are there, and those people dare not be too presumptuous." Xuan Shijing said with a smile: "Moreover, over the years, His Royal Highness King Wei has helped with a lot of money." ”

"Blue Sparrow?" Li Chengqian looked at Xuan Shijing curiously.

"The long history of His Royal Highness King Wei's mansion has been dispatched, and he has been helping the money behind his back to block the embarrassment of some officials in Chang'an." Xuan Shijing said: "This saves a lot of trouble for the money pile, at least after the caravan goes out, it is not exploited too much." ”

"I didn't expect Qingque to be so attentive, and even Du Chuke sent it over." Li Chengqian sighed: "It seems that in the past ten years, the Hou Mansion has gone all the way, and it is really not easy. I'm ashamed to be alone in the palace and haven't helped much. ”

"Your Highness doesn't have to mind, it's not too late to help." Xuan Shijing smiled: "Just this batch of houses." ”

"The land belongs to your Hou Mansion, and you can build it." Li Chengqian was puzzled, how could he build a house in Chang'an City so forward-looking.

He didn't know that Xuan Shijing's so-called piece of land was the entire Daozheng Fang.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has agreed?" Xuan Shijing looked at Li Chengqian and asked.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Chengqian nodded: "It's a trivial matter, if Xiao Jing has something, you can go directly to Lonely." ”

"How can I do you?" Xuan Shijing said with a smile.

"What do you say?" Li Chengqian asked rhetorically.

"Your Highness, little marquis, it's here." The carriage stopped, and Long'er shouted into the carriage.

Xuan Shijing and Li Chengqian got up from the carriage and got out of the carriage, Li Chengqian was here for the first time, looked up at the plaque of the store, what did Xuan Shijing bring himself here for?

"Your Highness, let your guards bring your carriage over, and you will have to use your carriage to get things to the palace in a while." Xuan Shijing said, and walked into the Li family's shop.

"Little Marquis, why did you come here in person." The person who talked to Xuan Shijing was the shopkeeper of this store, and he was also the father of the young man I saw last time, and the Uncle Li in Xuan Shijing's mouth was him.

"Uncle Li, long time no see." Xuan Shijing smiled and stepped forward to greet him.

"It's not like I haven't seen you for a long time, the little marquis has grown so big, and he really gives me a problem as soon as we meet." Uncle Li said with a smile.

The so-called problem is the rattan chair in the shape of a bird's nest that Xuan Shijing wanted.

"Uncle Li's craftsmanship, Shi Jing is naturally trustworthy, how is it? Can it be made? Xuan Shijing asked expectantly.

"It's done, Master Hou, what you wanted, but it's dead and decaying." Uncle Li stroked his beard and said with a smile, for the sake of Xuan Shijing's rattan chair, the Li family's shop has not taken on outside work for several days, and his son runs to the mountains every day, just to find a suitable rattan for weaving.

While speaking, Uncle Li's son had already moved out the swing chair and rattan chair in the corner and placed them in front of Xuan Shijing, waiting for Xuan Shijing to inspect the goods.

The swing chair looks good, the whole body is painted with white paint, and there are holes on both sides, there is already a shelf outside the warm pavilion, and when the time comes, it will be directly hung to the shelf with an iron chain, and the rattan chair, Xuan Shijing looked at it, the rattan used to weave is indeed of good quality, it looks thick, densely packed and thick, and the shape also meets Xuan Shijing's requirements.

Li Chengqian looked at the rattan chair placed on the ground, but he was a little curious: "Xiao Jing, what are you doing with this thing?" This round shape can't stand on the ground, is it possible that you want to take it back and put it in the sundries? ”

"This thing is for Princess Jinyang, and you will know how to use it when the time comes." Xuan Shijing said, then looked at Uncle Li and asked, "Uncle Li, how long does it take to build a sturdy frame with wood?" ”

Uncle Li is a veteran craftsman in carpentry, he has been a carpentry apprentice since he was a teenager, and has now become a carpenter of his own, and he has more than 30 years of experience in this industry. ”

"One hour" Xuan Shijing thought about it a little, just an hour, an hour is an hour, take advantage of the fact that Li Chengqian took him into the palace today, and they all packed up together, and they also saved another trip, although Xuan Shijing is young now, but it is not a good thing to always run to the palace.

"Uncle Li, please let you and Brother Li come with us, this kind of handicraft work really can't be done without you." Xuan Shijing said.

Uncle Li glanced at the sky outside, the sun was still in mid-air, and after thinking about it, he should get off this errand, and after instructing his son to clean up the store, he closed it.

Li Chengqian summoned two guards in, one carrying a white swing chair and the other carrying a rattan woven chair, all of which were placed on Li Chengqian's carriage.

In this way, the two guards drove Li Chengqian's carriage, Li Chengqian was still sitting in a carriage with Xuan Shijing, Long'er was also in the carriage, and there were three people sitting on the frame of Xuan Shijing's carriage, Shi Hu and the Li family's master.

Fortunately, Xuan Shijing's carriage was a double horse, and it was not overloaded, and the two carriages slowly drove towards the palace.

The distance between the West City and the Imperial Palace is not too far, at least it is much closer than to the East City, from the Shunyi Gate into the Imperial City, and then from the Chengtian Gate into the palace, because the carriage is carrying things, so Li Chengqian asked Shi Hu to take his own token and drive the carriage directly into the palace, and went straight to the hall on the first floor of the Warm Pavilion.

The warm pavilion has been cleaned up, and naturally Princess Jinyang has also moved to a new house, today is the first day that Princess Jinyang stayed in the warm pavilion, Xuan Shijing's trip can be regarded as a celebration of Princess Jinyang's housewarming.

The carriage stopped steadily in the courtyard of the main building of the warm pavilion, Li Chengqian got out of the carriage, ordered the guards around him to unload the things first, and then sent people to prepare wood, and found a few people to come over to help Uncle Li.

Uncle Li originally thought that Xuan Shijing was going to take him back to the Hou Mansion to install these things, but he didn't expect to enter the palace directly, at the moment of entering the imperial city, Uncle Li's mood was a little excited, his own craftsmanship, it was an honor to be able to make things for the royal family, and he really had one more capital to brag about with his grandson in the future.

The voice in the courtyard, the palace maid in the warm pavilion had already heard it, so she went upstairs and reported it to Princess Jinyang, Princess Jinyang was practicing writing at this time, and when she heard that her prince brother came to the warm pavilion, she immediately put down the brush in her hand and went downstairs.

"Brother Prince!" As soon as Princess Jinyang fell, she saw Li Chengqian in the hall, and faintly saw the figure of Xuan Shijing outside: "Brother Jing is also here!" In his tone, he was very happy.
