Chapter 47: Angry Li Gang
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed since the Xuanwumen Incident, and Chang'an at the end of July has also arrived in the scorching summer.
Under Li Shimin's series of policies, the turmoil caused by the Xuanwumen Incident has also been calmed down, and Datang is also developing in the direction of stability and prosperity.
A few days ago, the house was just built, Li Siyuan took Li Sisi to the slave trading market in Chang'an to buy a lot of slaves and maids and family members back, now they don't have to worry about these people have no place to live, the newly built house in just 20 days with the support of the household department has built out of the style of Li Siyuan's design of three in and three out, not only there are enough rooms, but also a lot of ingenious designs.
"Brother Yuan, this thing called the toilet in your house is really good, not only do you not have to squat and suffer when you go to the toilet, but it also has no smell, it's really a good thing, now I don't want to go to my house's pit!" Da Niu, who had come out of the pain of losing his parents, said to Li Siyuan with envy.
"If you have time, you can also install one at home, and you have to run to my house every day to go to the toilet, what is it like!" Li Siyuan lay on the rocking chair and said lazily: "You will go back to the workshop in a while, call a few carpentry masters to come over, I will hand over the craft to him, and we can also try to promote this thing!" ”
Da Niu stood there and thought about it and said: "I'm afraid this can't be sold for a few dollars, it's all made of wood, it's not forbidden, and ordinary people can't afford to use it, a water tower like yours can be used by a few families!" ”
"Call you stupid, you still don't believe it!" Li Siyuan glanced at Da Niu with disdain: "Of course, ordinary wood is worthless, if we use good mahogany or sandalwood to make it, do you say it is worth it?" If we coated it with gold powder, inlaid it with warm jade, or simply made it directly into gold inlaid jade, do you say it is worth it? ”
After listening to Li Siyuan's words, Da Niu suddenly stood on the spot. Thumbs up and said, "High is really high!" ”
Just when Da Niu was about to continue to praise Li Siyuan, the housekeeper Lao Zhao ran over: "Shaolangjun, there is an old man outside, who calls himself Li Gang, and wants to see you by name!" ”
As soon as he heard that the future father-in-law was coming, Li Siyuan hurriedly said: "I'll go to greet you, you go to the inner courtyard and call Miss Li out." Da Niu, you go back first, and the rest will be talked about tomorrow! ”
After finishing speaking, he hurriedly walked towards the gate, and when he came to the door, he saw that it was Li Gang who came here with Li Yuyan: "Lord Li, everyone is here, the cold house is really full of splendor!" ”
"The county is polite, you are now a celebrity in front of Your Majesty, and the old man is bothered this time!" Li Gang said politely.
Li Gang's politeness was beyond his expectations, but it made Li Siyuan feel upset: "It's all one family, so I won't talk about two families!" Master Li, Master Li, please come inside! ”
invited the two people in and brought them to the living room, and the people quickly brought Li Siyuan's special tea, Li Gang tasted it, frowned and didn't speak, but Li Yuyan spit it out, and scolded in his mouth: "Stinky boy, this thing is bitter and astringent, how to drink it?" Are you insulting our father and son? ”
"Brother Li misunderstood!" Li Siyuan hurriedly got up and explained: "This is the tea made by the master himself when he used to travel, it is convenient to store, and there is a sweet aftertaste after drinking, I liked it after drinking it once, today I just thought that both of them were distinguished guests, so I asked people to make my favorite tea, I was abrupt!" ”
After explaining, he shouted to his subordinates: "Come, bring the tea cakes, let the two distinguished guests take a look!" ”
Soon, a woman on the side took the tea cake, and Li Siyuan took it and handed it to Li Gang: "Lord Li, this tea is simple to drink, just take boiling water and soak it, but this production is very complicated, from the initial selection to frying to the finished product, large and small, but it has to go through more than a dozen processes!" ”
After taking the tea cake, Li Gang first sniffed it, then twisted a little bit and put it in his mouth to taste it, and when he heard Li Siyuan say it was so complicated, he said with a smile: "Well, what the county said is true, this kind of tea made by your master is really endless, just like bitterness!" Rong Laofu tasted a few more bites! ”
Li Yuyan saw that his father had said this, so he sat down stupidly and stopped talking.
Just when Li Siyuan continued to drink the various benefits of drinking tea that his future father-in-law bragged about, Li's mother appeared at the door with Li Sisi.
"Father-in-law, when you come, you won't let someone inform you early, and we can prepare a banquet." Mother Li said with a smile as soon as she entered the door.
Li Gang just stood up and didn't have time to speak, Li Yuyan saw that his sister appeared here, and stood up with a rub: "Stink*, I haven't gone home yet, I'm fooling around with this little white face here, do you know that now our family has become the laughing stock of Chang'an City?" ”
Li Siyuan stood up in front of Li Sisi and his mother, and when he heard Li Yuyan speak ugly, he said sarcastically: "Why don't you know why your sister is here?" You, a man who has lost his conscience, dare to speak out about your unashamed duty to others? ”
After saying Li Yuyan, he turned his head and said to Li Gang: "Master Li, the kid from the moment you entered the door has been treated politely, could it be that you are here today to ask the teacher about the crime?" ”
Li Gang looked at his son and Li Yuyan with a puzzled face at this time, didn't he say that Sisi had smallpox and only Li Siyuan could cure it, so he asked her to come and live for a few days, but Sisi was used to living and refused to go home, so did he ask me to call him home? But listening to the meaning of Li Siyuan's words, there seems to be another hidden meaning in this!
"The county misunderstood, Lao Yu just came to pick up his daughter home, and I want to thank you in person for saving my daughter, as for Xingshi's questioning of sin, where to start? Could it be that there are other misunderstandings! ”
Although looking at Li Gang's expression, Li Siyuan had already guessed that he didn't know, but he was not in a good mood now, and snorted and said: "Lord Li, this parent is really idle, you don't know that such a big thing happened at home!" Your son and your wife colluded to accuse Lai Sisi of smallpox and wanted to sacrifice him to the deposed prince Li Jiancheng, you also know that Sisi has already had a marriage contract with me, so I naturally can't sit idly by, so I will take action and get off Miss Sisi! If you always think that I have done something wrong, how about we go to the prince to evaluate the theory? ”
After listening to the ins and outs, Li Gang was scared out of a cold sweat, if Sisi really became Li Jiancheng's woman, and he was doing things under Li Jiancheng, I am afraid that his family would be implicated when he was in Xuanwumen, and now the prince is tolerant and does not embarrass himself and others, if he is poking this matter out at this time, isn't he looking for death!
Thinking of this, he slapped Li Yuyan with a big slap in the face: "Rebel, you dare to do such a conscientious thing behind my back, I will definitely kill you today!" ”
