Chapter 53: Three Offerings
Li Siyuan's arrangement is developing steadily step by step, and the furniture and toothbrushes he is now producing are not only popular in Chang'an and Datang, but also with the transportation of some horse caravans, there have been several out-of-stock situations in several surrounding countries!
Handed over the beggar gang to Erniu to deal with, Li Siyuan didn't ask again, Erniu, I don't know if it's because of the busy or what, I haven't seen anyone these days, only from Da Niu's mouth can occasionally hear the news of Erniu, according to Da Niu, the beggar gang now has more than 100 disciples of the Dirty Clothes Sect, which is not bad, but the Pure Clothes Sect and the law enforcement team add up to less than 20 people, but they are not surprised, this phenomenon they have long expected.
August 15th, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival of the lunar calendar, but also the reunion festival, the Li family compound, since yesterday has begun to be arranged, early this morning, Li Siyuan got up and saw that the yard has been renewed, everywhere lights are colorful, very festive.
"Sisi, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, do you want your father and brother? Do you want me to send someone to fetch them? Li Siyuan asked while lying on the rocking chair, eating the grapes that Li Sisi had peeled with his own hands.
"No, my brother doesn't want to see you either! It's just that I pity my mother, we couldn't give her a cup of warm tea when we got married! I don't know how she's doing now, will the eldest mother still make things difficult for her from time to time? Li Sisi said as she secretly wiped a handful of tears.
Although Li Siyuan is not a machismo, but when he saw his beloved woman shed tears, he naturally felt distressed, he sat up, hugged Li Sisi on his lap, and said softly: "Sisi, or that's it, let's invite our mother-in-law to live at home for two days, and then find a reason to leave our mother-in-law in the house, and we can always be filial, what do you think?" ”
"Husband must not be like this, since ancient times, he has been filial to his in-laws, how can a married daughter have to bring her own mother-in-law, if you do this, it will inevitably have an impact on your career!" Li Sisi said anxiously.
"I'm not so easily affected by this little thing, I'll leave this matter to me, just wait for the good news at home!"
He got up from the rocking chair and shouted outside: "Chun Tao, you go and ask Da Niu, how did I explain to him a few days ago!" ”
Chun Tao heard the shout, and hurriedly ran to the small courtyard to return: "There were already results yesterday, and I also brought two large boxes of this thing, but you and the young lady had already slept at that time, so the slave didn't bother you." Shaolang-kun, do you want to use it now? Then I will send for you to fetch it from the storehouse. ”
As she spoke, she was about to go out, but Li Siyuan hurriedly called out to her: "Just load it into the carriage directly, I will take them to Chang'an in a while, you inform Xiaohu by the way and ask him to come with me." ”
Chun Tao nodded and took the order, Li Sisi stood aside and asked puzzledly: "Are you going to Chang'an again, what are you going to do this time?" ”
Li Siyuan smiled: "Today is August 15th, I am going to give some gifts to the prince, you stay at home and give you a surprise at night!" ”
"I don't want surprises, you must not pick up my mother, I don't want you to delay your career because of me!" Li Sisi stood aside, his face full of worry.
Li Siyuan stepped forward and rubbed her face: "Okay, I know, you can wait for me at home obediently!" After speaking, he led Xiaohu, who had been waiting at the door, and drove the carriage towards Chang'an.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Li Xianzi of Jingyang County is asking to see you outside!" A eunuch respectfully reported.
Li Shimin, who was reviewing the folds, paused with the pen in his hand and said, "Xuan!" Then he began to review the recitals again.
After a while, Li Siyuan bowed his head and walked into the Taiji Palace: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Chitose Chitose, Chitose Chitose!" ”
Looking at Li Siyuan who was kneeling on the ground, Li Shimin laughed: "You kid will do these novel things to make Gu happy!" Come on, isn't it time to offer treasure again this time? ”
"Your Highness is wise." After Li Siyuan stood up, he didn't forget to continue to slap his ass: "It's just that the treasures this time are slightly different, please move outside the hall to watch!" ”
"Oh? Still going outside the temple? It's okay, I'm tired of sitting alone, so I'll go and see it! Li Shimin stretched and said.
"Your Highness still needs to take care of your health!" Li Siyuan trotted forward to support Li Shimin, and the eunuch and palace maid next to him rolled his eyes vigorously, but he continued to say as if unconsciously: "Although this national event is important, Your Highness, you also have to pay attention to your body, only with a good body, can you do more things, right?" ”
"Lone also wants to rest, but you see, not long after the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the treasury is empty, the supply of troops is tight, and the border is not peaceful. It's hard to rest alone! Li Shimin complained as he walked out.
"Your Highness doesn't have to worry too much about the Turks, Weichen has a thing, called Earthquake Thunder, which can help His Highness defeat the Turks." Li Siyuan hurriedly said.
"Heaven-shattering thunder? But the same as your drunken thunder? Although the intoxicating thunder you made last time was very powerful, it was a waste of food to brew that kind of wine, and now people can't eat enough and wear no warmth, so let's put it first! ”
"Your Highness, let's take a look before deciding, this time, the earth-shattering thunder doesn't need food."
The two of them came outside while talking, Li Siyuan made an OK gesture to Xiaohu in the distance, and Xiaohu took a torch and lit the things lined up on the ground one by one.
Hearing only a loud sound, a black object flew into the sky with green smoke, and then exploded with a bang, and suddenly the sky was colorful and beautiful.
"This is your earth-shattering thunder? It's pretty beautiful, but I don't know how powerful it is! Li Shimin looked at Li Siyuan suspiciously.
"Back to Your Highness, this is a firework produced in a small workshop, not a sky-shaking thunder, but it is also similar to a sky-shaking thunder!" Li Siyuan scratched his head embarrassedly and continued: "This fireworks are just made by Weichen to set off the festive atmosphere, they look very beautiful, so I brought you some, oh yes, this thing is the best at night!" ”
Li Shimin nodded: "Don't take out these children's things, quickly bring your baby!" ”
Seeing that Li Shimin was not interested in this thing at all, Li Siyuan gestured to Xiaohu again, Xiaohu understood, commanded a few people to bring a copper tripod, lit a black thing and threw it in, and ran away quickly.
Li Shimin was extremely curious, and when he saw that the thing was thrown in, he didn't react, and he raised his leg to go over to take a look, Li Siyuan was taken aback, grabbed him, and then quickly covered Li Shimin's ears with both hands, and didn't forget to remind others in his mouth: "Cover your ears, don't get close!" ”
Before everyone had time to react, they only heard a loud noise, which frightened everyone into pale, and even some timid people, their pants became wet!
