Chapter 114: Li Yuan, Please Eat
Xiaoyue is also pregnant, Xu Wen is only the size of a palm, seeing that in another half a year, after seven or eight months, the second little life in the family will be born, Xu Qing suddenly felt a lot more responsibility. When Xu Wen was born, he felt that he was in harmony with this Tang Dynasty, Xiaoyue was pregnant, and he suddenly felt that he wanted to find a safe place to settle his family.
The matter of buying a house was put on the agenda, and such a big project cost money, which was naturally proposed by Xu Qing and reviewed by the wife group.
The layout of Chang'an City is strictly divided into feudal hierarchies, rich and poor, and farmers and industrialists. The people living in each fang are different, for example, Xu Qing's Dunyi Fang is where the middle-class family lives. And the east of the city is the place where the royal family and nobles are located. Because it is close to the palace, it is the place where the prince's mansion is located, such as the garden square and the Shengye square, which is the place where the palace of the king of Qin and the palace of the king of Qi are located. Now it doesn't seem too strange, in later generations, the emperor's heirs are more and more, and the garden has become a special area of the palace, renamed the Sixteen Palaces. There are many princesses in Chongrenfang, and there are many relatives in Anrenfang.
As for the high-ranking officials and grandfathers, the dignitaries and nobles live on the Suzaku Street out of the Suzaku Gate. It is worth mentioning that at the junction of the royal family and nobles and the dignitaries, and between the East Market, there are Pingkangfang and Sanqufang, which are the famous red light districts, and there are many prostitutes. Female resident. In these places, there are many gentlemen, and Xu Qing thinks that there are not enough things, even if he buys a house here. But Xu Qing is most afraid of a lot of things, and the women also think that there is a brothel over there, which is very bad, so they are discharged from the east of the city.
In the west of the city, due to its proximity to the western market, there are many wealthy merchants living there, and there are also many foreigners living there. Therefore, Chang'an City is in the east, expensive in the middle and rich in the west. It seems that the west of the city is still good, and no one dares to cause trouble when Xu Qing's family moves over. It's just that the same group of businessmen live together, and it's a bit of a U-turn to the face of Luonan County.
For a while, all the women were not easy to make up their minds. At this moment, the next man came and said that his father-in-law was coming. Xu Qing hurriedly greeted him, and when he saw it, it was still the old eunuch. I saw the old eunuch smile and said to Xu Qing: "Uncle Xu, the emperor sent the old slave to announce your entry into the palace, so get ready." By the way, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back tonight. ”
Xu Qing groaned and asked, "Dare to ask why the emperor called me?" ”
The old eunuch smiled and said, "Master Xu, this old slave can't be said, you will know when you go." ”
After hearing this, Xu Qing relieved half of his heart, it shouldn't be too bad. There are two kinds of officialdom: reporting good news but not bad news, and reporting bad news without good news. Reporting good news and not bad news is naturally from bottom to top, and reporting good news but not bad news when flattery. And reporting worries and not good news, that's the way it is now, the reason is that the people who have the happy events can't be too excited, so that they leak their mouths and make the superiors unhappy.
Xu Qing cleaned up, that is, he told Xun Xue'er that they would not go home today.
Led by the old eunuch, he passed through the gates of the palace and arrived at the Yeting Palace. Li Yuan was enjoying dinner, and sat Xu Qing and asked him to eat together. Naturally, it was impossible to let Xu Qing and Li Yuan share a table, but moved another table, and Li Yuan "gifted" a few dishes.
Xu Qing had eaten in the palace a few times before, and compared with the outside, although the dishes in the palace were also steamed, they were much more delicate and tasted much better.
However, as soon as Xu Qing drew chopsticks and wanted to eat, Li Yuan asked, "Xu boy, did you see King Qi today?" ”
Xu Qing was taken aback, hurriedly put down his chopsticks, knelt down and said, "The minister did see the King of Qi, just because he visited the West Market." Oh, the minister entered the market without permission, and asked His Majesty to surrender his guilt. ”
Li Yuan took a sip of wine and returned: "Is this wine good at your house, forgive your innocence, get up and talk, tell me what you talked about with King Qi?" ”
Xu Qing didn't dare to get up, he still knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, you like to drink, it is the greatest honor of the minister." Today in the restaurant, the king of Qi told the minister that the emperor had sent the crown prince and the king of Qin to go on an expedition, and asked the minister to guide him. The minister only said: 'The prince and the king of Qin will be restrained, cherish their reputation and cherish their feathers, and you should also keep the way of being a minister and a son, King Qi'. ”
When Li Yuan heard this, he laughed: "You said this lesson for me, let's calm down and eat." ”
Xu Qing sat down to eat vegetables again, and as soon as he took a bite, Li Yuan asked again: "I heard that your house has green vegetables, and Du Ruhui often goes?" ”
Xu Qing scolded secretly in his heart, this Li Yuan really deliberately corrected me, got up again, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, there are really a few rows of vegetable fields in the minister's house, Lord Du has seen it, and he often comes to pick vegetables in winter." The minister and Lord Du have some friendships, and in the past, the minister was not in Chang'an, and he came every winter. ”
Li Yuan nodded and said, "Well, I have a warm soup supervisor, and I can grow green vegetables every winter, but that's just a convenience for living in a hot spring." What about you, you don't have a hot spring at home, and you can grow green vegetables? ”
Xu Qing bowed and said: "The minister's family built a greenhouse for the vegetable field, which is often burned with charcoal to raise the temperature, and also watered the ground with hot water, so the green vegetables can grow." ”
Li Yuan said in surprise: "The greenhouse you are talking about, but you are building a house for the vegetable field?" ”
Xu Qing explained: "My Emperor Shengming, it is true, but the things used in this house are just straw, and then wrapped in a tight cloth, and the wind does not leak. ”
"This method is good, can it be extended to the outside world, so that the people can also benefit from it?"
"The emperor's love for the people is really holy. However, the land has been frozen now, and now it is impossible to cook in a greenhouse. With the end of this fall, it can be promoted. ”
Li Yuan stroked his palm and smiled: "Xu boy, you really have brains, you can often think one more step, but this extra step has played a huge role." ”
Xu Qing wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, thinking that Li Yuan could let him go, but Li Yuan asked again: "Xu Qing, since you have a wonderful idea, then let me ask you, tomorrow the Turkic assassin history will make it difficult again, can you retreat wisely?" ”
Xu Qing sweated profusely in his heart, Li Yuan's problem was like "Now 1+1=2 is a mathematical law, everyone knows this, then let's solve this non-homogeneous linear equation system to find the basic solution system of the maximum linear independent group orthogonalization standard quadratic type."
However, fortunately, Xu Qing is hanging, not that Li Yuan said that he has wonderful ideas, but that he has more than two thousand years of insight and knowledge at all. As soon as Li Yuan asked this, he had an idea.
So Xu Qingdao said: "Your Majesty, categorically rejecting the Turks' request, it seems that our emperor is stingy, and it also gives the Turks the truth." But if you say yes first, and then set high conditions, you will know that it will be difficult for you to retreat. It not only shows the mind of our great country, but also proves that the Turks are really barbarians and are not worthy of marrying with our great country, so maybe it can also deter the Turks. ”
Li Yuan became interested, and wondered: "However, how did this question come out, and if the Turks answered it, what should I do?" ”
Xu Qing bowed and said: "If the answer comes out, then the emperor can also select a palace maid to marry Princess Feng Gaomi, and also save the emperor from the pain of missing his relatives." Besides, sooner or later, there will be a battle of life and death between the Turks and my Datang, and now these are just delaying the army. ”
Li Yuan figured it out and said with a smile: "Okay, how about you solve the question tomorrow?" You are the first genius in Chang'an. ”
Xu Qing sighed and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is the most stupid person in the Tang Dynasty......"
After speaking, the monarch and the ministers all laughed.
