Chapter 8 Mountains and Rivers Have No Way to Recover from Doubts (Ask for Recommendations; Collection)
With a happy mood, Li Kuan fell asleep. Even in his sleep, the corners of his mouth were curled, this was the best sleep he had since the crossing, although it was only three days. But for him, accepting that he has become another person, is following another trajectory to start his life. These three short days seemed like three lifetimes long, and the strangeness and distrust of the surroundings made him physically and mentally exhausted. Coupled with the weakness of his body and the threat of death, he has been pressing a big stone in his heart, which cannot be eliminated. Now that he finally sees a glimmer of light, how can he not be happy?
Early the next morning, Li Kuan didn't wait for the maid to come and tell him to get up, he got up early, and he was still not very proficient in dressing, how could this ancient clothes be so difficult to wear!
When I came to the courtyard and stood on the pile, the three-body posture was set, the rhythm of breathing and breathing was not chaotic, and I greeted the first ray of sunlight shining in from the city wall.
The morning breeze blew the hem of his clothes, and his hair was in a loose bun and fluttered in the wind. I don't know if it's because of the good mood, this morning Li Kuan has a deeper understanding of Xinyiquan, and the whole person is fluttering, as if he is about to melt into the wind.
"Lizhi has seen the second brother!" A soft voice sounded behind him, and Li Kuan came back to his senses from the perception of boxing.
Turning around, looking at the little Lori who was looking at him timidly behind him, the corners of Li Kuan's mouth were slightly upturned, the little Lori was very thin, and the two little hands were gently twisted together in the abdomen. There was a hint of expectation and shyness on his small face, and his big eyes stared at Li Kuan with a bright eye.
"Second brother, you seem to be about to fly just now, are you an immortal?" Little Lori continued to ask timidly.
"It's beauty! The second brother was practicing boxing just now, not a fairy! Li Kuan looked at the curious Lori in front of him. This is the eldest daughter of Li Er and his eldest grandson, that is, the later Princess Changle - Li Lizhen. But now she is still a little Lori, she has suffered from qi disease since she was a child, and her body bones are only a little better than Li Kuan's among Li Er's children, so she has always been thin and weak.
"Why did Lizhi come to the second brother so early?" Li Kuan stepped forward and gently took Li Li's little hand, which did not have much flesh, not as fleshy as other children, and the small green tendons were faintly visible.
"The mother concubine asked Lizhen to come to the second brother and asked the second brother to go to the hall to meet her." Li Li's small hand held Li Kuan's index finger vigorously, as if only in this way did she have the courage to complete the task given to her by her mother.
"So, is it okay for Lizi to take the second brother there?" Li Kuan stretched out his other hand and gently rubbed it on the top of Li Liqin's head and said.
"Hmm!" Li Li's little Lori seemed to enjoy Li Kuan's spoiling, her big eyes narrowed and there was only one line left, and her little head was gently pushed twice.
Somehow, Li Kuan saw this half-sister, and his heart was full of joy. In fact, this is also because the memory he obtained is incomplete, otherwise he would remember that in fact, among this big group of brothers and sisters, the best relationship is between him and Li Liqing. Because the two little ones have been weak since childhood, they can't move freely like the rest of the brothers and sisters, Li Kuan also had to go to the school when he was nearly two years old, speaking of which, he went to school with Li Tai, who was two years younger than him, and as for Li Lizhen, he rarely even went out to the Qin Palace.
Therefore, in the past few years, the two little guys can be said to be sympathetic to each other, and the eldest grandson also consciously put the two together to play, which also caused Li Lizhen to be the closest to Li Kuan among the siblings.
Li Kuan held Li Lizhen's hand, and the figures of the two brothers and sisters were in the early morning sun, and the shadows dragged the old elders.
"Reich, have you had breakfast?" Li Kuan took his sister's hand and asked.
"Second brother, how can it be so early? It's not time yet! Li Li's voice was soft, like a mountain stream flowing on the rocks.
Well, Li Kuan forgot that it is the Tang Dynasty again, and he only eats two meals at this time, although there are also three meals, but under the leadership of the thrifty eldest grandson, how can the Qin Wangfu eat three meals luxuriously, although Li Kuan has deep resentment, but he can only mutter in his heart.
The two chatted while walking, and after a while, they came to the hall of the Qin Palace, which was the most solemn place in the Qin Palace, except for Li Er's study. The affairs of the palace are arranged from here, this is the center of the palace, and it is here that the eldest grandson controls the palace.
"Mother, Lizhi brought the second brother here!" As soon as Li Lizhen entered the hall, he let go of Li Kuan's hand and obediently saluted to the eldest grandson.
"Yes! Lizhi is really capable! The eldest grandson is very strict with his son, but he is very tolerant of his daughter, and he showed a bright smile at Li Lizhi and praised the well-behaved little Lori.
"Of course! Lizhi likes to help her mother do things the most! Little Lori was very happy to hear her mother's praise, her two big eyes squinted like a kitten, and her pale little face was also covered with a bright smile.
"So why don't you go play by yourself for a while? The mother concubine has something to say to the second brother! "The eldest grandson and the pleasant face are all gone, and the little Lori is gone.
"Hmmm! Lizhi is the most well-behaved! The mother concubine and the second brother talked, Lizhi won't eavesdrop, Lizhi plays by herself! Little Lori walked out very well-behaved.
"Mother!" Li Kuan bowed.
"Sit down!" The eldest grandson stretched out his hand and motioned for Li Kuan to sit under her, where there was a desk.
"Thank you, Princess." Li Kuan sat down according to his words, but he would rather not sit in his heart, this kneeling and sitting for a few minutes will make people's legs numb, and sitting for a long time is simply a sin.
"I called you here, just to explain to you the scope of affairs you are responsible for, you will be in charge of the monthly supply and demand of all the juniors in the Qin Palace, as well as some other miscellaneous affairs. Originally, I wanted to hand over these things to Cheng Qian, but I didn't expect you to suddenly come out. The eldest grandson said lightly.
"I also hope that the mother will teach more, and if the child does something bad, I hope the mother can be more tolerant." Li Kuan didn't dare to say anything else, you must know that this is not a simple lord, the huge ** after Li Er is well organized under the management of this eldest grandson Xianhou, and even after the ninth year of Zhenguan, in the twenty years after the death of this queen, Li Er has not established another queen, which shows her status in Li Er's heart, as well as her clever skill.
"Not much else, every month you children's monthly money, as well as the purchase of medicinal materials for you and Lizhi to regulate the body, are all handed over to you. Just take care of these two things first, and wait until you're familiar with them before you talk about the rest. "The eldest grandson did not decentralize power in one go, but first let Li Kuan take care of some minor matters.
"Remember, child." Li Kuan bowed and should be.
"This is a detailed account breakdown, you can take a look, if you don't understand, just ask!" The eldest grandson picked up a ledger on the desk in front of him and handed it to Li Kuan.
"The child got it!" Li Kuan took the account book with both hands, and then opened it and looked at it, although it was in traditional Chinese, but even Meng guessed that he could barely understand it, as for the accounts inside, for a person who has received a higher socialist cramming education, it is really not too simple to have a few dollars per person per month.
It's just that when Li Kuan turned to the back, he felt that something was wrong: "Mother, why is the monthly income of several children different?" Isn't it a bowl of water? ”
"This, in fact, is calculated according to personal expenses, you must know that now the entire Tang Dynasty is short of money, those families have hoarded all the money, and the money circulating in the market is getting less and less, so even if your father is the king of Qin, the palace must save money every month, and those who are still young and do not need money urgently will be given less." When the eldest grandson said this, his tone was very helpless, you must know that you are the king of Qin, and even the children's monthly money must be deducted, and the lack of money in the whole country will be what Cheng dù.
"I see!" Li Kuan stopped talking, and continued to look at it.
At the end of the account book is the account of the palace to buy medicine, which is bought for the princes and county lords of the palace to regulate their bodies, not only Li Kuan and Li Lizhen, who are not in good health, but also Li Chengqian and Li Ke. Because these two have reached the age of martial arts, they need a medicinal bath to lay a foundation.
Li Kuan was very excited in his heart, and finally it was a critical moment, so he looked more carefully.
Slowly, Li Kuan's face became worse and worse, and he seemed to be very puzzled and disappointed: "How can this be, why not?" Li Kuan, who couldn't help it, muttered to himself.
"Erlang, what's nothing?" The eldest grandson leaned close to Li Kuan and heard the muttering in his mouth.
"Mother, the child is just wondering, why don't these medicinal herbs have ginseng and notoginseng?" Li Kuan hurriedly asked.
"Ginseng, Panax notoginseng? What kind of herb is this? The eldest grandson's face was a little confused, and he looked at Li Kuan and asked.
"Why, the concubine hasn't heard of it?" Li Kuan wailed in his heart: Could it be that these two medicinal materials have not been discovered in this era? What can I do? If there is no ginseng that nourishes qi first, and notoginseng that nourishes blood first, is there any hope for yourself?
The reason why Li Kuan was so excited yesterday was because he wanted to take charge of the convenience of purchasing medicinal materials from the prince of the Qin Palace, and get some great tonic things such as ginseng notoginseng to replenish the qi and blood of this body, so as to get himself out of the doom of dying young, but he didn't expect that in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, these two things were not known to the world, this is simply a way to cut off people's lives!
"What are these two herbs for? Why hasn't the concubine heard of it? The eldest grandson then asked, she knew that this might be part of Li Kuan's secret, let's test it first!
"If you go back to your mother's concubine, these two flavors of medicinal materials can be described as great tonics, ginseng is the first to replenish qi, and Sanqi is unparalleled in blood replenishment." Li Kuan knew that it would depend on whether he could survive this time, so he hurriedly replied.
"So, where did Jiro find out?" The eldest grandson continued to test Li Kuan.
"This ......" Li Kuan didn't know how to answer, he said that he saw it from a book, where is the book? It's said that someone sued sù, but where are the people? Could it be that you dreamed about it in a dream? How can this make the eldest grandson believe this!
