Chapter 180: Chang'an Comes to Congratulate
The water is rippling.
Not in a hurry, but not slowly, the head of the bowl is large, and the well water that is still slightly turbid is constantly bubbling out.
While hundreds of tenant farmers cheered and raised their hands to celebrate, Li Zhide hurriedly led his group of servants and Liu Yiyi to leave, almost trotting, and when he reached his horse, he turned over and straddled his horse, and went straight to the county seat.
That's it!
Li Zhide waved his horse excitedly, he wanted to go to the county government to retrieve the drawings, he wanted to go to Chang'an City in person, and he wanted to dedicate this waterwheel to today's saint.
Riding on horseback, Li Zhide could even imagine what Li Shimin would look like when he praised and admired him when he saw this waterwheel, and the day of his promotion was not far away.
Liu Yiyi chuckled and looked at the cheering more than 100 tenant farmers, and stretched out his hand to call Li Dechen, now that the well has been dug and the water has been poured out, it is time to give them a reward.
"Owner, your name is Xiao Lao'er?" Li Dechen handed the reins of the ploughing ox to his son Li Biao, who was standing next to him, and started to get to Liu Yiyi.
"Well," Liu Yiyi nodded, brought Li Dechen to Su Chen's carriage, and instructed Li Dechen: "Bother Mr. Li to go and take down the things placed on the back seat of the carriage." ”
"Yes, host." Li Dechen answered, saluted Liu Yiyi, and then went around to the back of the carriage and opened the dark compartment at the base behind the carriage.
Then he saw a pile of silver coins.
The bright coins, string after string, look so charming and dazzling. Li Dechen couldn't help but lose his mind for a moment.
"The owner. This is? Li Dechen swallowed and spat secretly, turned his head to Liu Yiyi and asked.
"It's money for digging wells and repairing drainage pipes." Liu Yiyi said lightly: "A well is five hundred Wen, and the first place is eight hundred." Forty wells, a total of 20 and 300 yuan. There are fifty pipelines, one hundred and fifty-eight, a total of seven runs and nine hundred texts. The total annual calculation is a total of 28 and 200 texts. ”
Liu Yiyi took two steps forward, looked at Li Dechen with a smile and said: "There are a total of twenty-eight and three hundred texts in this grid, and the extra 100 texts were awarded by Liu to Mr. Li." In the past month, it has been hard for Mr. Li to run around. ”
"The proprietor's words are serious," Li Dechen hurriedly bent over to Liu Yiyi to salute when he heard this, and said: "Doing things for the proprietor is what we tenants should do, and the little old man is also willing, but he can't say such words from the proprietor." ”
See Li Dechen like this. Liu Yiyi chuckled and shook his head, how could a very ordinary polite remark provoke such a big reaction from this old man? He smiled and said to Li Dechen: "Okay, okay." Uncle Li's mind Liu understands, as long as Uncle Li follows Liu sincerely. Liu will definitely not lose Uncle Li. Well, now it's better for Lao Li to share these coins with the villagers first, after so long, although some people don't say it, they are afraid that they are in a hurry. ”
"Yes, host." Li Dechen saluted Liu Yiyi again, and then took all the silver coins into his arms, and his heart fluttered, since he became a tenant farmer, how could he have seen so much silver again?
Twenty-eight? This is probably the most he has ever held in his life.
Li Dechen lightly put the silver money on the ground, and shouted loudly at the crowd, which immediately attracted the attention of all the tenant farmers.
"Money!" In just three words, simple, clear, effective.
No matter how Li Dechen distributed the money, Liu Yiyi actually walked next to Su Chen, looked at this little boy, and took the reins from Li Biao's hand at some point, and was holding the ploughing ox at the moment, turning stupidly around the well. And his big butler, Su An, also looked at him dotingly from the side.
The whole thing is still a playful child, Liu Yiyi shook his head and chuckled.
"Mr. Liu! Mr. Liu! From afar, Liu Yi heard as if someone was calling him, and he turned around and looked down the road, and saw in the distance that someone was waving at him.
Li Jihe? The commander of the guards beside the prince, how did this kid have the kung fu to come here? It can't be that there is something wrong with Li Chengqian's kid's legs and feet, right?
Liu Yiyi tidied up and down his clothes, and got up to greet him.
"The villain has seen Mr.!" When he came to him, Li Jihe bowed to Liu Yiyi, looking at his expression, he was very excited.
"Hehe, Ji He is polite." Liu Yiyi stepped forward and took Li Jihe's hands affectionately, and said with a smile: "It has been more than a month since the last time I said goodbye to Chang'an, and now I am really lucky to meet Ji He again." I don't know what Ji He came to Sanyuan this time, what is the so-called? ”
With that, Liu Yiyi found an open space and sat down cross-legged on the ground casually.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows that Mr. Zhi's wedding date is approaching, and a special villain came to congratulate him and send a number of congratulatory gifts." Li Jihe also attached a willow and sat on the ground
Hand to Liu Yiyi said, "Congratulations to Mr. Liu on his new marriage." ”
Uh, so face-giving? Liu Yiyi nodded, Li Chengqian's kid was really interesting, and it was not in vain that he saved his life.
"His Royal Highness Prince Lao is worried, I don't know that His Royal Highness the Prince has a foot disease, and now he has recovered?" Liu Yiyi looked at Li Jihe and asked him.
"Mr. Liu's blessing," Li Jihe looked at Liu Yiyi with admiration and said: "As early as seven days ago, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was already able to walk normally, if it weren't for the fact that the emperor suddenly handed over a lot of affairs to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince recently, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would have come to congratulate Mr. in person this time." ”
Oh? Liu Yiyi's eyebrows were raised, and he couldn't see that this Li Chengqian was quite valued by Li Shimin. The legs and feet are just right, so he arranged a bunch of affairs for him, is it possible, this Li Chengqian also has the fate to be the emperor in the future? Well, I can't tell.
However, if he becomes the emperor, what will happen to Li Zhi in the future?
Liu Yiyi smiled lightly, thinking that this was quite interesting.
—
"Mr. Liu," Su Chen had enough of playing, so he led Su An over, and saw that Liu Yiyi was talking to a stranger, so he asked Liu Yiyi, "Who is this?" ”
"Oh, I'll introduce you to you." Liu Yiyi stood up, pointed at Su Chen and Li Jihe successively, and introduced them to each other: "This is the grandson of Su Dasi Nongqing, Su Chen and Su Gongzi. This is the head of the guards of the East Palace, Li Ji and Master Li. ”
"Su Gongzi!" "Master Li!" The two bowed at the same time, which was regarded as a greeting.
Liu Yiyi patted the dust on the **, looked at the sky, it was almost noon, and then got up and said to Li Jihe and Su Chen: "It's not early now, and there is nothing important in this place, let's go home and talk." It's rare that Ji He came today, and we'll have to drink two cups in a while. ”
Then Liu Yiyi got up and explained a few words to Li Dechen, and then drove the carriage all the way home.
When they got home, Lao Liu and Liu He had already prepared a table full of wine and food for them. They knew that Li Jihe had come from Chang'an to congratulate their eldest son on his marriage, although it was a little early, but it was reasonable, and they couldn't snub others, especially Li Jihe also brought so many congratulatory gifts.
Four meat and two vegetables, the best pear blossom sake, this time the old willow is quite generous.
Liu Yiyi looked at the wine and food on the table, nodded with satisfaction, and stretched out his hand to invite Li Jihe and Su Chen to sit down.
"Is Mr. Ryu at home?" As soon as the three of them sat around the wine table, someone came to look for them outside the door, but listening to this person's voice, it was so sharp and peculiar, Liu Yiyi and Li Jihe glanced at each other, isn't this the voice of Xiao Dezi of the Lizheng Palace? How did he get here?
Liu Yiyi hurriedly confessed to Su Chen and Li Jihe, got up and went out.
Xiao Dezi was wearing civilian clothes today, and he was followed by two ordinary carriages, and he didn't want to attract people's eyes, he saw Liu Yiyi coming out of the inner room, and was busy bending over Liu Yiyi outside the door to salute: "The little one has seen Mr. Liu." ”
"The Denai is polite." Liu Yiyi returned the salute, looked up and asked Xiao Dezi: "The servant of De Nei came to look for Liu this time, but what is the will of the queen mother and her old man?" ”
"Hehe, Mr. Liu Mingjian," Xiao Dezi bowed down and said: "The queen mother knows that it will be the big day of the husband in seven days, because it is inconvenient to come to congratulate her on that day, no, her old man will come to the husband in advance to say goodbye." Xiao Dezi arched his hand and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Hexi." ”
The purpose of co-authoring him is the same as Li Jihe, to say good news for the master of his family.
Liu Yiyi suddenly felt in his heart, arched his hand and said to Xiao Dezi: "The queen mother is polite, and the denei servant is also polite." Hurry in, let's talk in the house. ”
"No, no," Xiao Dezi waved his hand again and again, and said: "Thank you Mr. Liu for your kindness, but the little one can't stay here for a long time, and the queen is still waiting for the little one to go back to her life." ”
As he spoke, Xiao Dezi gestured to the two handlebars who were driving the car, and the handlebars began to carry some cloth, brocade boxes and other gifts from the carriage.
"These are the wedding gifts given by the queen mother, with cloth and decorations, and many parts are arranged with reference to the dowry of the princess when she got married." Xiao Dezi took out a big red gift book from his arms, handed it to Liu, and said, "This is a list of gifts, please take a look at Mr. Liu." ”
Liu Yi took the gift book with both hands, and saw that on the red gift book, a dense piece was written-
Xiao Dezi quietly pulled Liu Yiyi aside, looked at no one around, then took out a monthly pass from his arms, handed it to Liu Yiyi, and said: "This is a congratulatory gift from my brother to Mr., please accept it with a smile." ”
