Chapter 32: The Dinner

Around the end of the evening, Wen Xiangheng informed Lin Yuyan that the young and old of the Li family had returned.

After this half-day understanding, Lin Yuyan also knew about the situation of the Li family, the head of the Li family is an old carpenter, his name is Li He, and he has three sons and daughters.

Li He heard the arrival of the Yijun of the feudal district, and he also brought several of his sons to visit him in advance: "Li He, a man from the countryside, has seen His Royal Highness!" ”

Lin Yuyan naturally said politely to him: "Li Jiang doesn't have to be polite, the place where he lives now is still the house of Li Jiang's family, and His Royal Highness has disturbed Li Jiang's family!" ”

"Your Highness, don't say that, Your Highness can stay in the Li family, it is really the glory of the Li family!"

In this regard, Lin Yuyan could say anything, but he quickly changed the topic: "I heard that Li Jiang is one of the few craftsmen in this son's caiyi?" ”

Li He nodded and said, "I didn't expect His Highness to pay attention to Li He's aspects...... I really don't hide it from Your Highness, there are more than 300 households in ten miles and eight townships in this mining town, and the only ones who can learn from this carpenter are me, but I am a few unsuccessful sons, just to make a living, and it is also for the convenience of the neighbors......"

"I'm afraid that Li Jiang has been busy recently, I heard Mr. Wen say that Li Jiang usually goes out at dawn and returns at dusk, but Li Jiang feels tired?" Lin Yuyan asked.

Li He really didn't expect that this Royal Highness in front of him was actually the current Hexu, not to mention a prince from the royal family of Wuguo in the past, even a small official from Wancheng Laiyangdi, who was also above the top, and did not take Li He in his eyes at all.

It is precisely because of this that Li He replied with great satisfaction: "If you go back to Your Highness, that is, you are busy during the replanting period now, with the help of these sons, it is not that you are too tired, and you will be idle in a few days, not tired......"

"That's good, since Craftsman Li has time, I have some doubts about Carpenter and hope to get Craftsman Li's guidance." Lin Yuyan also said politely.

Li He didn't think of this, looked at Lin Yuyan and asked, "Your Highness also understands carpenters?" ”

Lin Yuyan shook his head and said, "No, it's just a few objects, and I want to ask if Craftsman Li can create it......

In this regard, Li He nodded, but in Li He's mind, he thought that Lin Yuyan only had a few wooden objects that needed to be created, and nine times out of ten it should be a plaything.

In this regard, Lin Yuyan did not explain, at the moment it is still focused on Wen Xiangheng's "mining and replanting", during this time, the farm tools are seriously damaged, I am afraid that Li He and his sons are too busy, and their own things and components are also relatively complicated, I am afraid that there is not enough time to build them.

Then it was naturally a homely conversation, and at the end of the speech, Li He invited Lin Yuyan and his party to the main house for a dinner.

Lin Yuyan agreed, and took Wen Xiangheng, Jing Yi and others to the main house of the Li family.

Li He's family was quite polite.

There were three or four tables of food prepared, and Li He said: "Your Highness, these dishes are all wild meat caught in the fields and mountains today, and they are delicious, but I am afraid that Your Highness will not be used to eating this anger, so please take care of some ......."

Lin Yuyan waved his hand, signaling that he would not mind these things, during this time, Lin Yuyan also knew that the people of Wu Guo were not as good as those in the palace, the ingredients were extremely particular, there were many auxiliary materials, and they were directly smoked and roasted in the folk for a long time, or boiled in white water, and the rest of the others, it was fortunate to be able to use some mixtures, but these dishes of Li He's family added some wild vegetables in the mountains and fields, which also covered the fishy smell of meat.

After eating a meal, Li He entertained him in every possible way, lest some of the hospitality be inconsiderate, but Lin Yuyan was very gracious.

Wine is also a rare object in the people, after all, Wuguo is a country that can't even keep food for the people, where will take out too much grain to make wine, it is generally guaranteed to be used by nobles, and it is rarely seen by the people, unless it is a village mash, this kind of yellow or white looks like a turbid thing, just that kind of bitter taste, Lin Yuyan is also difficult to swallow.

However, out of a warm response to the Li family, Lin Yuyan didn't like to drink, but he still drank it all.

Immediately afterwards, there was a faint hint of drunkenness.

Lin Yuyan shook his head, sobered up for a while, and Wen Xiangheng asked Lin Yuyan, "Your Highness is not strong enough to drink?" ”

Lin Yuyan also made no secret of this: "I didn't like this wine when I was young, I have never tasted it, and I didn't expect it to ......be so spicy."

Wen Xiangheng looked at his Royal Highness, but he didn't expect that his Royal Highness would be invincible, you must know that this kind of good thing is rare among the people, but it is common in the palace, but he didn't expect that His Royal Highness really hasn't drunk much wine at such an age.

However, Wen Xiangheng still reminded: "If Your Highness really feels dizzy, you might as well talk to the Li family and go back to rest as soon as possible......

Lin Yuyan thought for a while, and nodded, this Li is extremely hospitable, and between the words, he welcomes Lin Yuyan in every way, so that Lin Yuyan is not answering, not to mention that Li's meals tonight are all meat dishes, greasy and heavy, and the people are not like the palace, and they can often eat meat, so Li took out such a large table of meat, presumably he also made a lot of money, but for Lin Yuyan said, these things are really greasy and difficult to eat, and the bowl of village mash just now also wants to suppress the greasy taste in the chest.

Wen Xiangheng said to Li He: "Li Jiang, my Royal Highness is really too strong to drink, and I am really sorry if I want to go back to the house to rest." ”

Li He looked at Lin Yuyan who was indeed drunk, and nodded and said, "In that case, Iris, send His Highness back to the house......

Li He waved his hand and said, and behind the room where the wine table was set up, a woman came out, who was the kite called by Li He.

Lin Yuyan raised her head and looked at this kite, her facial features were also quite delicate, and she was also delicate, I saw her coming over and was about to support Lin Yuyan, at this time, even Lin Yuyan, who had not experienced emotional things, noticed the meaning, and immediately signaled Jing Yi with her eyes.

Jing Yi sat next to Lin Yuyan, and when he saw this, he immediately reacted, and immediately blocked the kite and said, "What is Miss Kite going to do?" ”

The kite didn't return, but the blush on her face spread to the base of her ears.

Li He explained with a smile: "I really don't hide it from Your Highness, the little girl Kite has also been devoted to Your Highness for a long time, and her appearance can be regarded as thoughtful, if Your Highness doesn't dislike it, just keep her by your side......"

Hearing this, Lin Yuyan also woke up all of a sudden, and he really didn't expect Li He to do this, but after thinking about it a little, he understood.

Wen Xiangheng also noticed the embarrassment of his Royal Highness, looked at Li He and explained: "Li Jiang doesn't know, the royal rules are very strict, no matter the wife or concubine, you have to report to the Zongfu, and my Royal Highness only leaves the cabinet, it is really inconvenient to leave any woman around, and it is in vain to cause gossip......

When Li He heard this, he looked at Lin Yuyan, and also noticed the embarrassed look on the latter's face, originally thinking about some of the things of His Royal Highness the prince, but he didn't expect that at this point, he really couldn't figure out the preferences of this highness.

glanced at his daughter Kite, waved his hand, and said with a dry smile: "Since there is such a thing, please forgive Li He for being abrupt!" ”

Wen Xiangheng explained to Lin Yuyan: "It's okay, Li Jiang is also kind!" ”

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Jing Yi and said, "Jing Yi, help His Highness back to rest......"

Jing Yi nodded, then stood up and helped Lin Yuyan, Lin Yuyan did not reach the point where he was drunk and couldn't walk, he just felt embarrassed in the field and pretended to be drunk.

As soon as Lin Yuyan left, where would the rest of the Zongwei stay here for a long time, even if Wen Xiangheng thanked Li He less than half an hour after Lin Yuyan left: "Thank you Li Jiang for hosting a banquet today, if it is late today, Wen still went back first......"

Li He also smiled and said, "Then Mr. Wen is good to go, Da'er, you go and send Mr. Wen!" ”

Wen Xiangheng directly refused: "No need, it's not a few steps away from going out, Wen has a decent amount of wine, and he can walk back." ”

When Li He heard this, he nodded and said: "Since this is the case, then I won't send Mr. Wen, Mr. Wen is easy to go, and he will go to the field early tomorrow morning to organize replanting, and please ......rest Mr. Wen as soon as possible."

Wen Xiangheng turned around and left, and when he left, the Li family was left in a room......

Li He looked at the back of Wen Xiangheng leaving, and felt that when he walked away, he sighed faintly.

Li Gen, the eldest son who was sitting next to Li He, asked, "Father, what is this sighing for?" ”

Li He said faintly: "Da'er, I always feel that this highness is not like those officials who came from Wancheng, you look at the eldest daughter that time, alas...... It's also a pain for this child......"

Li Gen also knew that his father had heard the old past, and he was still relieved: "The eldest sister has entered Wancheng, which is also her blessing, but speaking of which, this highness is indeed very ...... Very cozy ......"

……

In the other room, Lin Yuyan, who was originally a little drunk, was sitting on the futon, and Wen Xiangheng sat opposite and said with a smile: "Your Highness is ...... this time."

Wen Xiangheng was still unrestrained, Lin Yuyan couldn't hear such thoughts, and replied: "If the mother concubine knows that I will bring back a woman to the house at will, even if it is separated by a high palace wall, I am afraid that she will scold my son a few words......"

Wen Xiangheng said: "His Royal Highness plans to stay in Yangdi for a while, and it is not impossible to leave the little daughter of the Li family to serve by his side, after all, it is also a kindness from others......

Lin Yuyan shook his head: "How can you say that?" After all, it's a person, how can you say that you can send it...... If you say take it, you will accept it......"

Wen Xiangheng also smiled and said: "Your Highness has been running all the way, and I drank some wine at the dinner, so let's rest early." ”

Lin Yuyan nodded: "Well......"
