Chapter Twenty-Five: Li Kong's Depression
Sunrise and sunset, sunset and sunrise.
Twenty-four hours slipped away.
Li Kong sat leisurely on the swing, listening to the sound of rubbing from the backyard, and felt comfortable in his heart.
Now the tables, chairs and benches have been made, and several sets have been made, in addition to the domestic ones and those given to Li Shimin, there are still five sets left, and the price of these things is ten yuan per set.
If this price is put in the previous life according to the purchasing power at that time, it is almost equivalent to a set of 100,000 yuan, an absolute sky-high price.
But Li Kong's main focus is on high-level aristocrats, which of those people doesn't have a thousand eight hundred in their hands? Ten dollars, drizzle.
However, these things have no technical content, with the technology of modern craftsmen, as long as there is a model, you can get it out casually, so Li Kong didn't think about making a long-term line, these things are just accumulating funds for him at most.
It's just that soon, Li Kong turned from longing and leisurely to depressed and dazed.
Because it lasted until the end of his lockdown, not a single customer came to his door to ask him how he sold this thing.
Could it be that Li Shimin didn't take out those things?
Or is it that Li Shimin is simply picking at the goods, hiding the set of furniture he presented from others to see?
But this shouldn't be, even if he hides in the harem, he should be able to see the relationship between the eldest grandson and Wuji, how can there be no sound?
"Young master, there is not much wood left, and it is no longer enough to produce another set."
Just when Li Kong was depressed, Laifu ran over and reported in a low voice.
"If you don't build it, let those craftsmen go back first, remember to settle the wages, and tell them that without the permission of Young Master Ben, no one can build these things outside, otherwise it will ......."
"I understand, I'll arrange it in the past!"
The craftsmen left, taking with them the wages that Li Kong had given them.
It's just that Li Kong was even more stunned after that, because there was less than five hundred yuan left in their courtyard this month, and it would take seven days for the next month's expenses to be paid all, five hundred yuan, nine people, seven days, unless they all drank the northwest wind, otherwise they wouldn't even be able to survive for three days.
"The cliff of labor and management is the second generation of the most officials in Datang, right?" Li Kongba chirped, then looked at the more than thirty sets of furniture in front of him, and sighed heavily in his heart.
Because there was no money, the lunch at noon was just boiled noodles with clear soup and little water, and it was tasteless and almost didn't let Li Kong vomit.
After lunch, Li Kong, who decided not to live this life anymore, went straight to Taiji Palace, he wanted to find Li Shimin for an explanation, otherwise he would have to starve to death.
Thinking that he might well become the first traverser to starve to death, he couldn't help but sweat profusely.
Tai Chi Palace.
Li Shimin's heart went up and down during this time, and when he heard that Empress Changsun was pregnant, his whole mind couldn't help but return to the moment when Li Tai was born, especially at night, and he dreamed of the pain and pale of life hanging by a thread every time he dreamed of Empress Changsun giving birth.
Although there are abortion pills in this era, that kind of medicine is extremely harmful to the human body, and the slightest carelessness will kill two corpses, so in this era, pregnancy must be born, especially in the case of the eldest grandson, who is taking drugs to nourish the lungs, and even the imperial doctor does not dare to prescribe abortion pills.
And because of the pregnancy, those drugs that nourish the lungs were also forced to stop, so as not to cause harm to the fetus, and it would be even more dangerous at that time.
Therefore, Li Shimin directly changed the time of the court meeting to a five-day court, and the rest of the time was spent on accompanying Empress Changsun except for some things that the minister could not handle.
As for promoting those tables and chairs for Li Kong? In a word, no time, let alone mood!
At this time, Li Shimin was personally feeding Empress Changsun to drink lotus seed porridge, this is the only thing that can clear the lungs without hurting the fetus, Empress Changsun has been drinking it for half a month, if it weren't for Li Shimin watching, she would definitely not take a sip, she would have been annoyed for a long time, okay?
Thinking that there are still nine months to drink in the future, Empress Changsun is helpless for a while.
However, it still makes sense for her to be called the first virtuous queen, she doesn't want to embarrass Li Shimin, let alone let others mess up the harem, so no matter how difficult it is, she didn't complain to Li Shimin, and when Li Shimin fed the porridge, she always had a soft smile on her face.
Next to them, Li Chengqian, Li Tai and Li Lizhi sat there seriously, the three of them were just seven or eight years old, and they didn't know much about men and women, but looking at Li Shimin and Empress Changsun's affection, they were somewhat envious.
Now they don't have the idea of competing for the reserve, they can be described as brothers, friends and brothers, and they are happy.
"Erlang, I'm full, let's put it first!" After eating a small bowl, Empress Changsun saw that Li Shimin was still going to Sheng, and hurriedly stopped him.
Li Shimin glanced at Empress Eldest Sun with some concern, and sighed: "Guanyin, I know that you are tired of drinking this every day, but ...... I don't want you to face that situation again, it's too dangerous, I'm not sure. ”
Empress Changsun's face was a little gloomy, and she said: "It's okay, even if it's for Erlang, I will try my best to live, it's just a year or two." ”
Li Shimin opened his mouth, his mouth has never surrendered in the face of anyone, even if it is those sour Confucians, he can say a few hard words, but in the face of the eldest grandson queen, he can only bear it.
Looking at the smile on the face of Empress Changsun, he exhaled a heavy breath and said, "Yes, isn't it just a qi disease, I also believe that Guanyin can survive." ”
Empress Eldest Sun showed a warm smile at this time, and then looked at the three children sitting there, and said, "Chongwen Pavilion is not closed today, Tai'er and Changle, what are you two doing here without going to class?" ”
Li Chengqian is now the crown prince, and he has a special education for the prince and the prince, so he doesn't need to go to the Chongwen Pavilion, but Li Tai and Li Lizhi can't, that's their homework, and what the eldest grandson queen values most is the knowledge of her children.
Li Tai and Li Lizhen glanced at each other, then stood up under the pressure of the powerful eyes of the queen mother, said a word and turned to walk outside.
Then, Empress Changsun put her eyes on Li Chengqian's body, and Li Chengqian hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the queen mother, when the son comes, he has already done all the homework for today, and the rest can be done later after he goes back, it won't be delayed, the son will be here to accompany the queen mother for a while." ”
Empress Eldest Sun nodded, and then looked at Li Shimin, but just as she was about to speak, the attendant outside ran over and said, "Your Majesty, Niangniang, Li Kong is here again!" ”
Hearing this name, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were stunned, only Li Chengqian fell into the memory with some surprise, remembering that it had been more than two years since Li Kong left the Qin Palace, and he didn't know if this eldest brother had changed now?
As soon as Li Shimin was about to let the chamberlain drive Li Kong back, Empress Changsun spoke: "Let him come in, I haven't seen him for more than two years." ”
"Alright then!" Li Shimin stood up, turned around and said, "Go, let that stinky boy come in and see him Eminem!" ”
