Chapter 179: Pick Up Grandma
Early in the morning, Liu Minghua was awakened by the rumbling sound of cannons.
Liu Minghua rubbed his eyes and shouted, "Xiaojiao, what's the situation?" Where does this sound come from? ”
"Brother Minghua, what is your name? They all woke Wan'er up! Shangguan Wan'er got up from Liu Minghua's bed and muttered dissatisfiedly.
"Ah, Shangguan Wan'er? You...... When did you get into my bed? You ......" Looking at Shangguan Wan'er, Liu Minghua looked helpless. She doesn't look young, but it's a thousand-year-old demon. There really isn't anything she wants to do.
"Brother Minghua, you are the eldest young master, how can there be no one to serve by your side? Brother Minghua is clean and doesn't let Xiaojiao and others accompany him, so let Wan'er do it! After Shangguan Wan'er finished speaking, she hurriedly prepared clothes for Liu Minghua.
Liu Minghua rolled his eyes and said, "You come to serve me?" It's hard to say which of the two of us will serve whom? You, are you embarrassed to grab a man with your aunt Shangguan Xuan now? ”
After Liu Minghua said this, he couldn't hold back his laughter. Shangguan Xuan and Shangguan Wan'er are actually equal to his women now? It's kind of hilarious.
Shangguan Wan'er thought for a moment and said, "Brother Minghua, these are two different things!" Auntie? I'll be nice to her myself! But I want to be nice to you even more! ”
Liu Minghua shook his head and said, "Okay, count you amazing!" I'll just dress myself, you can put on your own clothes! ”
At this time, Xiao Ji walked in and said, "Minghua, the sound outside?" That's gunpowder building! You've been away for more than a month, and the Hibiscus Garden is very lively! ”
Liu Minghua tidied up his clothes. Then he said: "Hehe, I didn't expect to start large-scale development so soon?" I think now I must regret it! You know, the land he gave us is so big! ”
Xiao Ji smiled and said, "Sister Lan'er said that Her Majesty does regret it!" Minghua, what is this Hibiscus Garden, and what are the prospects for the future? ”
Liu Minghua said: "Here, it will be very lively in the future, and its prosperity is indescribable!" ”
This place, the Han Dynasty opened a canal here. Repair "Yichun Garden" and "Leyou Garden". Sui time. Yuwen Kai chiseled its ground into a pool. Emperor Wen of Sui called the pool "Hibiscus Pond", also called "Hibiscus Garden".
In the Tang Dynasty, it was also called "Qujiang Pond". The water of the Chan River flows into the Qujiang River from the south outside the city through the Yellow Canal. Then many pavilions were added to the Hibiscus Garden.
Hibiscus Garden occupies a square in the southeast corner of the city and protrudes outside the city. There is a fence around it. The area of the park is several square kilometers. Qujiang Pond is located in the western part of the Hibiscus Garden. With the waterscape as the main body, the shoreline is tortuous and you can go boating. Aquatic plants such as lotus and calamus are planted in the pond. Pavilions and palaces loom among the flowers and trees.
In a word. Qujiang Pond in the Tang Dynasty is definitely a famous spot in Chang'an!
Seeing that Liu Minghua said so well about the prospects of Furong Garden, Xiao Ji excitedly said: "Okay, it's really good!" In that case, our Wenhua Pavilion is also becoming more and more valuable! Minghua, should we buy some more land? ”
Liu Minghua smiled: "Forget it." Engaging in real estate in this era is a bit of a trick. Okay, I may have to pick up my grandmother home today, she has been treating Sun Simiao for a long time this time, and her body should recover soon. ”
I haven't seen my grandmother for so long, Liu Minghua is really anxious!
"That'...... Shall we go? ”
Liu Minghua said: "You don't want it, there are so many beauties all of a sudden, how can I explain it?" I went with my sister Xiaofen and returned it. Xiaofen, come over quickly, let's go home! ”
"It's coming!" Liu Xiaofen pulled Wu Cao and ran over with a smile, then waved his hand with Wu Cao and Shangguan Wan'er, and followed Liu Minghua into the carriage.
Walking on the road, Liu Xiaofen looked at those Hu people: "Brother, why are there more and more Hu people in Chang'an City?" ”
Liu Minghua said: "This is because Datang is becoming more and more prosperous, and foreigners come here." Hehe, in the eyes of those foreigners, we are all citizens of a big country, and their identity is not good. You see, although these Hu people are rich, how many people dare to wear our clothes? ”
No matter how powerful the Hu people in this era are, they also treat the people of the Tang Dynasty with a humble attitude. Moreover, the Hu people of this era are desperately trying to learn the clothing of the Tang people.
Liu Xiaofen looked at it with wide eyes and said, "Yes." Brother, they all say that the Hu people are rich, so why can't they afford to buy a set of clothes? ”
Liu Ruihua explained: "They can't even be rich! There are some high-end clothes, which are not worn by these Hu people, unless they have official certification, they can wear gorgeous silk Tang costumes and be proud of them. Otherwise, messing around with your clothes is a big deal! ”
Liu Xiaofen was surprised: "Huh? I see? That...... I think those Hu envoys in the Honglu Inn, why are they also subject to clothing restrictions? ”
Liu Minghua was surprised: "Okay, you still have such good observational skills?" Well, how to say it? Those foreign envoys also depend on their status and qualifications, and not every foreign envoy can enjoy the same treatment as our Tang people.
You probably don't know, right? When those foreign envoys came to the Tang Dynasty to visit His Majesty, they were rewarded with treasures and beauties, and they were not given a set of Tang costumes and were happy! Obtaining the Tang costume is equivalent to the Tang Dynasty's recognition of you, and these Hu people have the right to live in the Celestial Empire. Got it now, right? ”
"Got it! No wonder so many Hu people are reluctant to leave our Datang. Liu Xiaofen sighed.
"Yes! People go to high places! Many envoys, students, and businessmen who came to Tang were reluctant to leave after living for a while. And many people marry and have children here. What attracts them is not only the prosperity and splendid culture of our Datang! is also because we Datang have a cheerful mind and the courage to accept all rivers! ”
Liu Xiaofen frowned and said, "That...... There are more and more Hu people, will we Tang people ......?"
Liu Minghua said: "There is no need to worry about this. It is not possible to close the country to the outside! Many talented people from other countries have stayed with us, and while they enjoy the life of the Tang Dynasty, they will also promote their talents and their own culture here. In this way, on the basis of the Central Plains civilization, our Datang will integrate many of the most colorful exotic cultures! These cultures are really colorful and colorful! However, culture, these Hu people also brought technology, so that our Datang production and technology are thriving! This kind of win-win cooperation is the real reason why Datang is now at the top of the nation and the country! The inclusive Datang and the Chinese nation will become stronger and stronger, leading the progress of the entire era! ”
"Wow, brother, I'm ...... I didn't understand all of them, but I think you're amazing! Liu Xiaofen said with bright eyes.
Liu Minghua rolled his eyes and said, "You are called unclear!" In short, because we are prosperous in Datang, there are many foreigners! Because there are many foreigners coming, we will be more prosperous in Datang! That's what it means! ”
Liu Xiaofen nodded and said, "Well, I know." In the future, I will understand......"
At this time, the carriage came to the most prosperous place in the city center.
There is a lot of people here, shoulder to shoulder, people of different nationalities, all kinds of clothes.
At a glance, it's funny and a hundred flowers are competing for beauty. The plaques of the merchants are dazzling, and the wide streets are full of cars and horses. The wine is fragrant and fragrant, and some flamboyant orchids wear veils and crop tops, attracting diners.
Liu Minghua shook his head and sighed, in this historical tide, I feel that I am really small! Smelling the rich atmosphere of this prosperous era, Liu Minghua realized what it is refreshing. Now Liu Minghua has begun to indulge and enjoy the pride and pride of being a Tang person!
This is Datang, my home, my country!
After returning home, Liu Xun got into Liu Minghua's carriage and walked towards the manor where Liu Minghua's grandmother was.
The eldest grandson, Jiaqing, led the way.
Liu Minghua felt that the people in the carriage came out to ride with the eldest grandson Jiaqing.
"Minghua, where did you go some time ago?" The eldest grandson Jiaqing said.
Liu Minghua snorted and said, "Didn't I say it?" I fell from the upstairs and hit Shangguan Wan'er, she was dying, so I took her for treatment for a month......"
The eldest grandson Jiaqing pouted and said, "You just lie to me!" It may be okay to say this to others, but will I believe it? In the whole Chang'an City, I should be the one who knows you better, right? ”
Liu Minghua patted the eldest Sun Jiaqing and said, "Since you understand me so well, and you still talk so much nonsense?" ”
The eldest grandson Jiaqing snorted: "Okay, don't talk about it." ”
It didn't take long for the manor to arrive.
Seeing his grandmother, Liu Minghua couldn't stop crying. At this time, the two Liu Minghua have been completely integrated, so Liu Minghua has a very deep affection for his grandmother.
Wiping away his tears, Liu Minghua stepped forward and whispered: "Grandma, it's me, I'm Xiaohua...... I'm back......"
Liu Minghua's grandmother was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reached out and touched it and said, "Yes...... Xiaohua? Xiaohua, are you back? Where are you? ”
Seeing that his grandmother's eyes still couldn't see anything, Liu Minghua's nose was sour, and he stepped forward to hold his grandmother tightly.
Grandma Liu touched Liu Minghua's face with trembling hands, and said with tears in her eyes: "That's right, it's Xiaohua, it's my good grandson!" My good grandson is back and back......"
"Grandma, I'm back. I'll definitely cure grandma's eyes. By her grandmother's side, Liu Minghua suddenly felt unprecedentedly calm. You must know that since Liu Minghua crossed over, he has really been running around, and there seems to be no moment of peace. At this moment, Liu Minghua really settled down and really found the feeling of home.
"Come, Xiaohua, let grandma touch it, have you grown taller?" After Grandma Liu finished speaking, she smiled and touched Liu Minghua from head to toe.
At this moment, Liu Minghua burst into tears!
"Grandma, it's too windy outside, let's go inside." Liu Minghua pulled his grandmother and walked inside. (To be continued......)
