Chapter 104: Mother's Embrace (Part II)
"Sister Hui, how many days will we be able to get to the Eastern Capital?" Di Hao asked. This makes them very awkward. How good it is, Sister Xue, Sister Liu.
Not necessarily.
Xiangxue and Hualiu are just their stage names, and they don't have much flavor. However, the two names taken by Di Renjie are meaningful. But the two have known each other for a long time and are used to being called, so they changed their names all of a sudden, which is a little inconvenient. I think so, but I know in my heart that if I want to do something in the future, I must break it off from the past, including the name.
"About three or four days left."
They also rushed to Luoyang, and it was Di Renjie who wrote to them to come. Since he has arrived in Luoyang as an official, he will not be able to go back for a while. These two red faces are placed in the mansion, and they are not very relieved, and the state is the place where the Li Tang royal family is prosperous. There are many dignitaries and nobles, and Di Renjie also needs to avoid three points. If these people are bumped into, there will also be a storm.
"Sister Hui, I'm very grateful to you."
"What do you thank me?"
"If I don't get my light on you, how can I know the prince and my father-in-law."
This is true. But Di Hao deliberately neglected one thing, if it wasn't for Helan Minzhi's coercion and the fate of Gui Yan, so that they mustered up the courage to go to the East Palace for help, they would not have achieved this beautiful talk.
Di Hui was very sober and said, "There is still a long road ahead. ”
It is the father-in-law who helps him, that is, the father-in-law is now highly valued by the prince, and the father-in-law is promoted, but don't forget their original origins, and if they really change their names, they will erase their history.
One sentence made Di Hao's face darken.
Di Hui comforted in turn: "Don't worry, believe in yourself." The prince did not dislike us. ”
Yes, they are both beautiful and artistic, and the prince has a good attitude towards them. It's not all, Li Wei is Wen Tun's character, if he is an ordinary person, it's just that, if it is a noble lord, this kind of character will make some women have some unnecessary misunderstandings. Including Di Hui and Xu Li.
The wheels sounded dumbly, and the car driven by Di Renjie's cronies in the mansion, the two women rarely showed up along the way, which was also Di Renjie's repeated orders.
The prince doesn't know now, but the queen met the little lady of the Pei family, and basically the matter was a foregone conclusion, precisely because of the trouble caused by showing up. There was no way before, they became their own daughters, and like Yang Min, no matter how hard they worked, they would not be able to enter the East Palace.
The carriage went all the way to the south, and it was getting closer to Luoyang.
Two beautiful maidens, sitting in the carriage, looked south from time to time, some expectant, some apprehensive.
………………………………
When I arrived at Dingdingmen, I entered Dingdingmen Street, the golden street in Luoyang's mouth, also known as Tianmen Street, leading to Tianjin Bridge and Duanmen, isn't that Tianmen?
I don't know who said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Her Royal Highness the Princess are back." ”
With that, everyone stopped what they were doing and stood on both sides of the street to watch. He kept talking: "O Prince Ren, the country is auspicious." ”
"The little princess is good, she has done a lot of good things with Guangchengze in Shaolin Temple."
"That is, the blessing of the country, in the end, the children of the heavenly family, are the same as us people."
……
It was much more sensational than the last time I went to Luoyang.
Li Wei shook his head, the country is auspicious? It's really a fluke, I brought my sister out, anyway, I boasted about it, and I wouldn't let my father think anything. But these actions of the little sister actually shocked even Luoyang? That's not, whether it's from Shaolin Temple or Guangchengze, it's not very far from Luoyang, and many businessmen or people come and go. It is precisely because of some distance that the transmission is a little biased from the truth, and it is passed on in the better.
In fact, in the final analysis, it is the result of bamboo paper.
Originally, bamboo paper attracted people's attention, of course, the common people are not very clear, but an explanation, all know, bamboo paper out, the price of paper is very cheap, it may be five times ten times cheaper, so that most readers can afford to use paper.
After being rendered by some well-intentioned people, it was spread even more. Poor bamboo paper to put into production, I don't know how long it will take, since Chang'an to Luoyang, the price of paper has fallen in an uproar. All the paper shops did not dare to accumulate stock. The more this is the case, the more ordinary people really think that they can lose ten times.
Now the people of ordinary families are also thinking that if it really drops ten times, their children can afford to use it, can they write and copy books......
Cultural people, in this era, are very desirable.
Cheap is definitely down, ten times more unlikely, it also needs a cost. However, if Li Wei didn't care about the scruples, he would have come up with the idea of movable type printing in advance, and then combined with cheap bamboo paper, the books would indeed be cheaper immediately. At least he won't be like Bi Sheng, with wooden type, clay type, and lead type, and he has to have a mature copper type.
But the egg pain is here, in fact, there are not many things in the stomach, there is not much historical knowledge, you can't open a golden finger, you don't have much military knowledge, you can't lead the army to fight, you can't enter the factory, you can't make any advanced machines, and you can't even improve porcelain. It will be a little bit more useful in this era. But he didn't know how to say it.
If you close your eyes, you don't hear them. Anyway, Tianmen Street is only seven miles long, and it will be Tianjin Bridge in a while.
The main thing is conscience.
Hearing that the people were praising him, he actually thought about it, and felt ashamed that he hadn't done much for them.
"Stop," Li Lingyue shouted.
The little princess ordered, and Xue Ne immediately ordered the car to stop.
"Little sister, what are you going to do?"
"Big brother, look," Li Lingyue pointed to the side of the road, where a middle-aged woman with four small children, the older one was about ten years old, and the younger one was still in her arms. The family situation is about not good, and there are many children, so it is more and more embarrassing. So the children were dressed in rags, and they looked yellow and hungry. The women's clothes were also patched.
Li Lingyue had already jumped out of the car, and Li Wei had no choice but to get out of the car.
All the pedestrians on the side of the road knelt down and said, "See His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Princess." ”
Li Wei wanted to shake his head, and said weakly: "You all get up." ”
But her eyes were on the little sister, and she came to the woman and looked at the children. The children were born face to face, hiding behind their mothers, not daring to look at her. Li Lingyue turned around and said, "Big brother, they are very pitiful. ”
Stretching out his hand as he spoke.
Li Wei had no choice but to instruct someone to take out a few pieces of money and reward the woman. Li Lingyue ran to the car, rummaged through the box again, found a few clothes she was wearing, and handed them to the woman: "Give them to wear." ”
"Your Royal Highness the Princess, the subjects don't dare."
"Take it, take it."
The woman's tears were rolling.
There were more praises this time, Li Wei touched Li Lingyue's head, the little sister became famous, okay. Wouldn't my father be afraid of my sister? However, it is estimated that these clothes, the woman may not let the child wear them when she goes home, there will be taboos, but they are not broken.
Li Lingyue listened to the praise and was very proud. looked at everyone, then looked at the side of the road, and said in surprise: "Big brother, the cherry is actually red." ”
In ancient times, greening was also attached, many trees were planted on both sides of Luoyang Street, Tianmen Street had the most trees, most of which were elm willow, pomegranate and cherry, and at this time Luoyang pomegranate, especially the pomegranate of White Horse Temple, tasted the best in the country.
The pomegranate is still early, but the cherries are gradually ripe, and the red colors are shining among the green leaves, which is very attractive. It's just that there aren't many, and most of them are picked by the urchins. The rest are high up in the trees.
A big man volunteered and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, do you want to taste it, and the subjects will help you pick it off." ”
"Okay, okay," he clapped his hands happily.
Dahan fastened his belt, climbed the tree neatly, picked off several large bunches of cherries, and handed them to Li Lingyue.
Li Wei said: "Thank you." ”
The prince said thank you, Da Hanle was dizzy, and said crampedly: "It is the honor of the subjects to pick cherries for Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”
Li Lingyue looked at the children again, left a bunch of cherries in her hand, and handed the rest to them, "Give it to you." ”
Yes, if she doesn't show off, if she shows it off again, the people will soon praise her to the sky. Li Wei took her hand and said, "It's not early, we have to go back to the palace." ”
I'm still very happy, after all, this little sister is very attached to herself, no matter what she does, there is no real meaning, but it is better than a high-flying princess. After getting into the carriage, Li Lingyue looked at Shangguan Wan'er and crossed her waist proudly, which clearly means that you can write poems. Bi'er looked at the two smaller Lori, just smiled, sometimes it's really funny to see them.
It was to Tianjin Bridge.
As soon as he crossed the Tianjin Bridge, a eunuch greeted him and said, "Your Highness, Your Majesty has instructed that you take Her Royal Highness the Princess and Di Sicheng and them to the palace immediately." ”
Li Wei didn't think of anything else, but Jin Neishou cast an inquiring look at the eunuch. The two met, and the eunuch whispered again: "This time the bamboo paper came out, the emperor and the queen were very happy, and heard that you returned to the Eastern Capital today, and specially set up a big banquet in the palace, not only to entertain the prince, but also to the ministers of the court." ”
Alas, just be happy.
Turning to the palace, sure enough, many ministers arrived, and one by one, according to their positions, sat in the main hall one after another. In the middle sits Li Zhi, not a court politician, there is no need to hang the curtain, and his mother Wu Zetian is also sitting on the side. Seeing them coming, Wu Zetian beckoned and said, "Hong'er, Yue'er, come here." ”
Walking over to see and making out with his daughter, Wu Zetian looked at Li Wei and said, "Hong'er, you have grown taller again." ”
At this age, no matter how long you are, you can't grow anywhere, but if you keep exercising, your body will be a little fuller. Of course, ribs are still ribs, and looking at his thin body in the shower, it is very resentful.
Wu Zetian said again: "People, it can pass quickly, and it is higher than the main palace in the blink of an eye. This time, you have a lot to do. ”
But she stood on the steps, and Li Wei only reached her chest. The mother was happy and said: "The bamboo paper Erchen doesn't know, but in the heart of the Erchen, as long as the parents are healthy, the Erchen is very satisfied." ”
Wu Zetian was very "moved", hugged Li Wei, touched his hair and said: "Hong'er, this time you went to Shaolin Temple to pray for blessings, the palace heard it, and in the palace, you and your father are also very pleased." ”
Mother and son, it was a natural move, so Li Wei entered the arms of his mother's majesty again and enjoyed the softness of his mother's majesty.
But many ministers frowned. Li Zhi's illness has been dragging on, and some courtiers in the court, some of them are towards Wu Zetian, and some are interested in the prince. For example, Hao Junchen, strictly speaking, is the Taizi Party. But this mother and son are so affectionate, who are they going to help? Di Renjie and Wei Yuanzhong glanced at each other, and they were also frowning secretly, this queen can't help it, just an affectionate gesture made many dissatisfied ministers retreat......
