Chapter 1439: Marriage (II)
With a stomach full of questions, Songtsen Gampo followed behind Li Er, bypassed most of Qujiang Pond and went to the lively construction site in front.
Countless people were busy, and a large number of iron pipes were moved by craftsmen to a newly laid house, laid horizontally on the ground, and then connected together, the whole process filled the construction site with clanging sounds.
"The sons see their father, the little nephew has seen Uncle Du, and he has seen Brother Songzan!" Li Chengqian got the notice, ran out of the house under construction in a disgraced manner, and hurriedly greeted the old man and others.
When Li Chengqian finished the ceremony, Li Yanran also walked over from the side: "The younger brother has seen the elder brother!" ”
"Xiao Ranran is here too?" Li Chengqian greeted Li Yanran with a smile, and the little girl's face was slightly embarrassed.
And Songtsen Gampo twitched the corners of his mouth, and said in his heart that the father and son of the Li family are really a family, and they are even as virtuous as others.
"This is the conservatory you're going to build?" His Majesty Li Er was attracted by the construction site in front of him, temporarily gave up a question that had just come to mind, and pulled Li Chengqian and asked.
"Exactly, Erchen plans to lay all these pipes under the room, cover them with cement, and wait until winter to inject hot water into them to form a circulation, and the heat will be dissipated through the walls of these iron pipes, which will make the whole room warm like spring."
Geothermal is just that, for Li Chengqian, a person who came from later generations, it should not be too simple.
There is no complicated process here, except for the need for manual pumps to circulate the water.
As for the iron water pipes that are easy to rust, this is easy to solve, anyway, for him, the prince, the most important thing in Datang is people, and it is a big deal to cut the ground again and re-lay the pipes.
As for the ...... of workers who shake the water pump, it seems that the most important thing in Datang is prisoners of war and slaves, and buying thousands of 800 is enough to shake for many years.
"Hmm! It seems that there is some truth, how about going and seeing? After His Majesty Li Er understood the principle, he invited Du Ruhui.
"Your Majesty, please!" Du Ruhui also wanted to know how this ambiguous house was built, and now he knows the principle, but he feels that it is better to see it up close.
So the two old men took a group of thugs into the construction site and threw Li Chengqian and others aside.
"Hey, how was the conversation with the girl?" When the old man walked away, Li Chengqian poked Songtsen Gampo and asked in a low voice.
Songtsen Gampo was confused when asked, and asked suspiciously, "What girl?" ”
"What girl? Of course it's my sister! Li Chengqian glared at Songtsan Gampo: "You're pretending to be confused with me, aren't you?" ”
"What kind of girl are you? Can't you make it clear? "Songtsen Gampo was dizzy by Lao Li on the way here, and now he was stimulated by Li Chengqian, and he immediately exploded.
Li Chengqian didn't realize that Songtsan Gampo actually didn't find out that Li Yanran was a woman dressed as a man, and when he saw that he was cheap and behaved, he couldn't help but be a little angry: "How can you make it clear, you have been shopping with Lao Tzu's sister for several days, what kind of sister are you talking to Lao Tzu now?!" ”
Wandering around for a few days? Songtsen Gampo was dumbfounded for a moment, as if he realized something.
"What are you two doing? Not yet. Just when Songtsen Gampo was about to ask Li Chengqian about his identity as a 'virtuous brother', His Majesty Li Er's voice came from afar.
"Hey, here, right away." Li Chengqian glared at Songtsan fiercely, and ran over.
After all, it was the old man who was calling him, this can not be neglected, a few days ago more than a dozen officials of the DPRK and China were exiled in one breath, although the official position is not big, but how to say it can be regarded as the old man giving him face, if he doesn't know what to do now, God knows if he will be 'retaliated' by the old man.
But fortunately, His Majesty Li Er didn't walk far, and Xiao Li hadn't run a few steps before he had caught up with them, and as soon as he stood still, he heard the old man ask: "What are the first two answers to the three questions you came up with, tell me about it." ”
"Huh? The first two? There is no fixed answer to the first two at all, as long as they can be distinguished, and this kind of thing is not a one-plus-one problem in arithmetic, how can there be only one answer. Li Chengqian blinked, not knowing why the old man suddenly asked this.
These so-called problems are just some gossip and wild histories that he saw in later generations, and in those wild historical records, when Songtsen Gampo sent Lu Dongzan to the Tang Dynasty to ask for marriage, His Majesty Li Er used these topics to make things difficult for him.
That's why he took advantage of Xue Yantuo's people to ask for relatives this time to put these questions out, in order to meet the situation, in fact, even he didn't know what the final answer was.
But His Majesty Li Er was very satisfied with his explanation, nodded and said, "There is some truth in what you say!" ”
After all, if you look at the superficial meaning of Li Chengqian's words, it means that there is not only one answer to the first two questions, that is to say, Songtsen Gampo's answer is not the only one, then his old Li Touer's answer is also very likely to be correct, so that Lao Li has not lost face.
"Your Highness, I don't know which princess Your Highness plans to let in the thousands?" Du Ruhui was familiar with Li Er's temperament, and when he saw that he showed a strong interest in Songtsen Gampo, he also joined in.
At this time, Li Chengqian's answer is already related to the final result, if he says a princess that Songtsen Gampo knows, then it undoubtedly means that the Tibetan Zampu is equivalent to answering all the questions correctly.
Li Chengqian didn't know that Songtsen Gampo had already answered the first two questions on the way here, so he said with a disapproving smile: "The little nephew originally planned to let Changle get in, but now it is estimated that there is no need, those people can't even answer the first two questions, and this third question is not mentioned." ”
"Hahaha...... Li Gaoming, Li Gaoming, you have met an opponent this time." Just as Li Chengqian was very confident in saying his plan, Lao Li's laughter reached his ears, and then he heard the old man say: "Songtsen Gampo has solved the first two questions, and I don't think it's wrong. ”
"Huh?" Li Chengqian looked at Songtsen Gampo who was walking slowly in surprise.
"Ah, what, now that you plan to let Changle blend in with a thousand people, then Songtsen Gampo is equivalent to solving all your problems, is what I said right?"
Yes, of course yes, it's not that Songtsen Gampo hasn't seen Changle, if he really solves the first two questions, then the third question is equivalent to sending the score question.
Looking at Li Chengqian's expression, the old man smiled, knowing that he had not guessed wrong, and then looked at Songtsen Gampo, and then looked at Li Yanran, who had been paying attention to Songtsan Gampo on the side, the expression on his face became more and more strange, and he suddenly asked: "Songtsan Gampo, I came to ask you, can you get married?" ”
"Huh? Nope! "Songtsen Gampo is still immersed in the question of 'I have been shopping with my sister for several days', and replied reflexively.
"In that case...... His Majesty Li Er smiled even brighter, looked at Li Yanran, who was a little shy, and asked: "Yanran, I have the heart to accept you as a righteous daughter and give you the name Wencheng, are you willing?" ”
The old man's similar spoof behavior instantly shocked the three young people present, Li Yanran's little girl obviously realized what was going to happen, her pretty face suddenly flew up a red glow, and she slowly stepped forward and bowed lightly: "Daughter Yanran to meet her father!" ”
Don't wonder why Li Yanran is so active, in fact, in the ancient Tang Dynasty, women in this era dare to love and hate, and dare to pursue self-love.
Besides, a woman with Li Yanran's status has extremely high requirements for her other half, and it is not an ordinary man who can satisfy her.
Songtsan Gampo was originally Zampu in Tibet, and there is no shortage of knowledge and the like, and now this guy holds the title of Duke in the Tang Dynasty. Such a person has to have status, he has to be knowledgeable, and he has a few days of contact, compared to those gentlemen in Chang'an City, they immediately fell down.
It is precisely because of this that Li Yanran originally intended to continue to contact Songtsen Gampo, and originally she planned to write a letter to her father after a while to explain the matter, and then begged her father to explain the situation to Li Er, and then there would be a marriage.
In this way, it means that she dominates this marriage, which is better than being dominated by others one day in the future.
So when Li Er said that she would be accepted as a righteous daughter, the little girl immediately let go of the big stone in her heart and agreed without thinking about it.
And just when Li Yanran bowed down the dust, Songtsen Gampo was stupid, never expected that the guess just now became a reality.
The virtuous brother who originally complemented each other turned out to be a virtuous sister, and looking at the frame in front of him, it is likely that the next step is to give marriage, think about Li Chengqian's words before that he would introduce the Tang princess as his wife, which can't help but make Songtsan Gampo feel like a makeover.
As for Li Chengqian, this thing is no longer feeling that it is making people, and Wen Cheng's title almost makes him feel like he is about to collapse.
I never thought that Princess Wencheng, who should have disappeared forever under his influence, would reappear, could it be that the history of this world really can't be changed? If that's the case, then it's still a toss, just wipe your neck, anyway, if you can't change history, you will die in seven or eight years, and you will die very humiliating.
But no matter what, what should happen will still happen, and no matter how depressed Li Chengqian is, he will not change the outcome of the matter in any way.
Because just when he wanted to strangle himself, the old man's voice had already reached his ears: "Songtsen Gampo, are you willing to marry my righteous daughter Wen as a wife?" ”
In an instant, all eyes were focused on Songtsen Gampo's face, especially Li Yanran nervously held the corner of her clothes, and looked fixedly at the young man she liked very much.
"Minister, minister......" Songtsen Gampo was a little overwhelmed in the face of the pie that suddenly fell from the sky,
