Chapter Eighty-Four: A Shocking Gamble
August in Chang'an City is hot and boring, the air is distorted as if it has been scorched, the weeping willows by the river are listlessly hanging on their branches, occasionally a few hanging in the pond water, gently stirred by the fish gasping in the water, the same is true of the people on the shore, the sultry weather makes people breathless, Li Yuan is lying on the rocking chair with his clothes wide open, without a trace of imperial demeanor. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The rocking chair was made by Li Chengqian, and although Li Yuan didn't want to pay attention to him, the useful things still didn't push back.
"This ghost weather, it's really fatal, grandfather Huang, let's go down to the river and swim."
Li Chengqian, who was lying on the recliner, took out a piece of watermelon from the wooden bucket on the side in annoyance, and ate it while lying there, the red juice poured on the collar, and the maid on the side quickly wiped it clean with a silk silk, and waited for him to finish eating, and then put the melon skin in the bucket again.
Li Yuan on the side also took out a piece of watermelon from the bucket, and the appearance of eating melons was much better than Li Chengqian, he sighed comfortably, looked at the flowing river on the side and was also a little moved, and glanced at Li Chengqian on the side, didn't say no, almost forgot, and was still angry with this bastard, scoundrel, he lives here every day, and he talks the same as usual, and he almost fell for him many times.
"Hmph~~"
Tsundere snorted, indicating that she was still angry with him, and turned her head to lie in the rocking chair and ignore him.
Touching his nose in embarrassment, he bared his teeth at Li Yuan on the side, got up and removed the heavy clothes on his body, leaving only a short small trouser head, without those complicated clothes, it was really much cooler, stepped on the clogs, and walked towards the river.
"Oh, my little ancestor!"
As soon as the king entered the courtyard, he saw Li Chengqian stripped naked and wanted to go down the river, but he hurried slowly and still didn't catch up, and as soon as he ran to the river, he saw a gray body swishing into the water, and the huge waves hit the king and the waiter.
Although Li Yuan was lying down, his eyes never left Li Chengqian for a moment, watching him disappear into the water, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, this kid didn't know how to water.
"Your Highness! Your Highness? Where are you, Your Highness! ”
After a long time of every movement, Wang Shi looked at the calm water surface and seemed to be a little anxious, kneeling on the stone steps by the river and looking into the water, after a long time there was no trace, then he got up and called anxiously: "Come here!" Come on! ”
Wang Yuan's appearance of not faking naturally fell into Li Yuan's eyes, and he got up in a hurry and rushed towards Li Chengqian.
"Come on! Come on! ”
As soon as Li Yuan arrived at the river, he saw a small head suddenly popping out of the middle of the river, it was not Li Chengqian or anyone, Li Chengqian was grinning at him at this time, looking so comfortable and comfortable.
"Poof~"
The river is still cool, Li Qian is lying comfortably on sleep, looking at the white clouds floating in the sky, the corners of his mouth are slightly hooked with a smile, hate, it can't accompany people for a lifetime, the old man's heart is too soft after all.
"Bastard boy!"
Li Yuan stood on the edge of the river and scolded Li Chengqian, but what was the use of scolding at this time? Thinking of his appearance just now, the corners of his mouth also hooked up a smile, and he didn't shy away from the palace people behind him at all, and dragged his clothes into the water.
Li Yuan's swimming appearance is very ugly, it is completely the dog planer commonly used by peasant men, and his appearance in the water makes Li Chengqian laugh for a while.
The river was only more than five feet deep, and Li Yuan stood in the river, where the water was just overflowing his chest, and looked at Li Chengqian, who was laughing and laughing on the side, and snorted.
"In the early spring, you deliberately designed to accept them, and concealed all of them."
Speaking of those two guys, Li Chengqian sighed heavily, sometimes people can't often recall, once the memory will touch the sad place, Li Yuan's sad place is that his son killed each other, and Li Chengqian's sad place is that he lived in the room where the two of them died, even if two months have passed, the heavy bloody gas is still constantly hitting his nose, uncomfortable and abnormal.
"Grandfather has heard about us, sometimes my grandson can't understand why the fight between adults affects children, at the beginning I thought it was a child's dispute, and I didn't pay attention to it, but then when they chased me with wolf dogs to bite, I knew that blind indulgence would only make them worse."
Li Yuan was a little silent, the water beads flowed down the sideburns to the corners of his mouth, he sipped it lightly, and said to him, "Why have I never heard you say it?" ”
Glancing at Li Yuan, Li Chengqian also sighed: "Is it useful to say it?" ”
yes, did it work? They are just reprimanding, they have to continue to do what they should do, as long as they still love him, as long as their father is still fighting, then they will continue to bully.
"Ghost mind! Then what is the explanation for your third uncle? ”
This is the crux of Li Yuan's problem, Li Yuan still doesn't know whether Li Yuanji and Li Jiancheng have rebelled, although he can't do anything more, but he must figure out this matter.
"How do you want me to explain? It is a great dishonor to kill an uncle with a nephew, and I am afraid that my grandson will have to bear this notoriety for a lifetime. ”
"Hey~" sighed, and finally didn't continue.
"Your father will ascend the throne tomorrow, aren't you going to prepare?"
Li Chengqian smiled and turned his head to look at Li Yuan: "What is there to prepare, they have been preparing for two months, can't they do anything without me?" ”
If it is an ordinary person, I am afraid that this Taiji Palace will become a forbidden place, and there will be no way to hide, Li Chengqian dares to come, which proves that he still values this family affection very much, Li Yuan is a smart person, he naturally knows how difficult it is for a child.
"Grandfather Huang, do you ~ want to do business?"
Li Chengqian's words made him stunned for a moment, then turned to look at him and said, "What kind of business, let's hear about it." ”
"My grandson brewed some wine here, and I found someone to try it, and the effect was good, saying that it was stronger than the spring of the earth cave in Xingyang."
Xingyang Soil Cave Spring, Fuping Stone Frozen Spring, these two kinds of wine are definitely the two strongest wines in the Tang Dynasty, the Persian Sanle pulp is too soft, even if it is drunk is a rarity, if it is really said how good the Sanle pulp is, it is not necessarily true, after all, the foreign monks are good at chanting, and the name of the Sanle pulp is really blown out by those, full of angry beards.
"Spirits? How strong. ”
"Drinking is like a knife, piercing the heart."
"That's good wine, but if you want to do business with your father, aren't you afraid that he will be in a hurry with you?"
Winemaking needs food, and now the food is not enough for people to eat, so the Tang Dynasty winemaking is needed to lead the wine, how much you brew, how to brew, how much grain, all need to be reported, and the tax is very high, and the average businessman can't afford it, so the winemaking is basically semi-official, so Li Yuan said this, listening to Li Yuan's words, Li Chengqian smiled, and shouted to the shore: "Wang waiting~ I bother you to tell Wang Zhong and let him bring the wine prepared by the king." ”
The king was stunned for a moment, when did this little highness start making wine? Although he was confused, he also walked into the distance.
Li Yuan didn't take this matter seriously, that is, the child's play, he was just in a panic, and by the way, he just added to Li Ertian's blockage, squinted his eyes and glanced at Li Chengqian on the side, feeling a lot more comfortable, the stuffiness that had been pressed on his chest for many days was finally relieved, I have to say that this is Li Chengqian's credit.
"How are you going to sell it?"
Li Chengqian glanced at the old man, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, there are many rich people in Chang'an, and they are very generous, so as long as the things are good, the price is definitely not a problem.
"Wait for the price and sell~ Now the price is set, but it is a little early, my grandson sees that the emperor's grandfather's Taiji Palace is a little dilapidated, why don't you make this money, how about repairing and repairing your Taiji Palace?"
Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, then rolled his eyes.
"Toad snort, your breath is not small, how much can a few jars of wine be sold for?"
Li Chengqian swam to the shore and climbed the stone steps, squatted down and looked at Li Yuan in the water and said, "If the emperor's grandfather doesn't believe it, then let's gamble on a game?" ”
"Tell me?"
Pretended to touch his chin, then squinted his eyes at Li Yuan and said: "Let's bet, before my father's enthronement ceremony, I can earn enough money to repair the Taiji Palace, if the emperor's grandfather wins, then the conditions are as good as my grandfather mentions, as long as the grandson can do it, he will not regret it, but if the grandfather loses, then the grandfather will promise me one thing, no regrets." ”
Little things have a conspiracy, this is Li Yuan's first impression, but he naturally doesn't believe that he can earn more than 100,000 yuan in just half a month, it is purely a fool's dream.
"Good! I'll bet with you. Then he squinted at him and said in a deep voice: "If you lose, let your uncle Yu return to the ancestral hall, this matter is not difficult for you." ”
Is it difficult? His father just deleted the two from the family tree, but his son immediately stood up and sang the opposite, this matter will not be comfortable on anyone, especially Li Chengqian, he personally cut off his third uncle's head, if this matter is said, I am afraid that he will not have to live, but he is a bamboo in his chest, what he does will naturally be done, spirits are one thing, his own hole cards, but far more than these!
"Good! My grandson agreed, but I said in advance that if my grandson lost, my grandfather would personally crown my father. ”
Li Yuan was suddenly furious, his blood-red eyes looked at his good grandson, he wanted to eat him raw, his last grudge was not to crown him personally, but now that he made such a request, how could he agree to him!
"Hehe~ I knew that the emperor's grandfather would be angry, so he should make such a big bet, but this is not fair to the grandfather, if the emperor's grandfather agrees to make a bet, then the grandson is promising his grandfather one thing, within three years, let my uncle Yu the third uncle enter the mausoleum, and enter the family tree, and restore the peace!"
Xianling is Li Yuan's mausoleum, and it is also the place where the ancestral tomb of the Li family is located, entering the Xianling Mausoleum is equivalent to recognizing the identity of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, but the most important thing is to restore the Pingzhen, with the Pingzhen, he can give them stepchildren from the family of relatives, how can he refuse such a request.
"Haha~haha~ha~ You little thing! For the sake of your father, you can be regarded as having exhausted the organs, so I should make this gamble! "As he spoke, he called to the royal servant on the side!" Come on, the purpose! I want to set up a big gamble with Li Chengqian! ”
Looking at Li Yuan's appearance, the corners of Li Chengqian's mouth twitched, I am afraid that this is the most ridiculous will in history, and he can figure it out if he uses the holy decree to set up a gambling game.
