No way, although you are a smuggler of salt, but when you arrive in Chang'an, you have to buy salt from others to eat, and after a few dealers, the price has increased several times.

In addition, there were many other things, and after each person reported the prices one by one, Li summed it up, including the servants who bought it, and it cost almost 450 yuan on this day.

After Li Ang finished settling the accounts, he couldn't help but sigh: "Alas! It's really not a family that doesn't know that firewood and rice are expensive, this firewood salary is only a penny a bunch in Huojing County, and Chang'an wants a bunch of five pennies. ”

Xiao Luan said with a smile: "Li Lang is now just refining salt, which is a daily gold, why is he so distressed to spend so many hundreds?" ”

Li Ang joked: "That's not the case, I don't have any other property, I haven't even married a daughter-in-law, and if I don't save some money, I'm afraid I won't even be able to raise a dowry in the future, so I won't be a bachelor for the rest of my life." ”

The servants were busy setting up the house and cleaning.

Only Li Ang and Xiao Luan were left in the hall, she had just taken off her white furry mink hat, and when she heard Li Ang's words, she couldn't help but glance at him, remembering that in the city, she was called Mrs. twice, and her pretty face turned slightly red.

"In my opinion, Li Lang doesn't have to worry about any dowry at all, with Li Lang's talent, he will definitely be able to go to high school in the spring of next year, as the so-called thirty old Ming Jing, fifty young jinshi. A young and handsome man like Li Lang, once he is on the list, I don't know how many wealthy families will rush to pull Li Lang to be the fast son-in-law of the East Bed, and when the time comes, it will be a dowry, which will be enough for Li Lang to enjoy inexhaustibly. ”

Li Ang laughed, and didn't forget to joke with Xiao Luan: "Xiao Niangzi looks like a fairy, with millions of family assets, and yesterday you had to send 50,000 yuan to Chang'an in one go." Just listening to such a large amount of money, my heart was pounding. If anyone marries Mrs. Xiao, then it is called blessed. ”

"The slave is willing to marry. Would you like to marry? Xiao Luan smiled and suddenly asked rhetorically.

Li Ang opened his mouth and looked at her, stupid!

Well, even if the Tang Dynasty is open, it is not uncommon for the prime minister to let his daughter choose a son-in-law by herself. But when a woman asked her face to face if she wanted to marry, Li Ang was still a little at a loss.

Xiao Luan's autumn eyes blinked, and he smiled shyly: "I know that Li Lang can't look down on the grace of the slave and the wealth of the family, and it scares you." Hee-hee......"

Li Ang said embarrassedly: "Xiao Niangzi, don't tease me, a strange woman like Xiao Niangzi who looks like a fairy, how can an ordinary man like Li dare to think about it." ”

Xiao Luanyi glared at him with disgust, and took the initiative to change the topic and said, "Didn't Li Lang say that he was going to the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion for a banquet today?" It's not early at this time, and it's time for Li Lang to freshen up and leave. The slave is not here to get in your way, farewell! ”

Xiao Luan said to leave, without any delay, and without the sadness when he was politely rejected in the past, Li Ang was quite surprised in his eyes. But she is like this, Li Ang's heart is very relaxed, just like a friend, without too much burden. Very good.

Li Ang sent her to the door, thanked her again, and invited her to come over tomorrow for a "house wine". It wasn't until Xiao Luan and a dozen or so followers disappeared around the corner that Li Ang turned around.

Leon hurried to freshen up. Confessed to Cheng Guan to help take care of the family first, and then took Wu Xuan to the Zuo Xiangfu in Qinglongfang.

In front of the Prime Minister's House. A number of luxurious carriages have been parked, and there are two halberds on both sides of the road outside the main gate, and two rows of long halberds are erected on the shelves, and the flags at the top of the halberds are rolled.

Officials above the third grade of the Tang Dynasty can not only open the gate from the fang wall, but also can tree two rows of halberds on the road between the outer gate and the main gate, and the higher the official grade, the more halberds, ranging from ten to sixteen halberds.

Li Ang, a little local tyrant, immediately looked a little shabby when he stood in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and after he handed over the gilded invitation, the porter quickly reported it in;

Li Shizhi's eldest son, Li Xia, greeted him in person, and said with a spring breeze: "Brother Day, I sent an invitation the day before yesterday, but Brother Day was not there, and I couldn't deliver it to Brother Day in person, and I still hope for Haihan." ”

"The staff wailang is too polite, and the worker wailang will go on a trip in person, and he really can't afford it." Li Ang shook his head, his long sleeves fluttering.

"My father is already waiting in the hall, brother of the day, please!"

Li Xia enthusiastically led the way in front, and according to the rules of the Prime Minister's Mansion, ordinary guests were introduced by the subordinates or housekeepers of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Now that Li Xia greeted him personally, the standard of this reception was already very high. Usually only those high-ranking officials and dignitaries of similar grades will come to greet them in person.

The prime minister's mansion is high and high, the cornices are overlapping, and the style is extraordinary, which goes without saying. Li Ang followed Li Xia along the brick and stone road to the main hall.

In the hall, Li Shizhi was talking with several guests, and when he saw his son bringing Li Ang in, he immediately got up and said with a smile: "Rizhi, please come in quickly, come on, let me introduce to you, this is Yizhou Xie Yuan Li Ang, the word Rizhi, is really a rare young talent." ”

This is also a knowledgeable introduction, usually the first to introduce the lowly to the venerable, and the younger to the elders. Needless to say, from the order of Li Shizhi's introduction, it can be known that among the people present, Li Ang must have the lowest status.

Li Ang looked around when he gave the ceremony, and there were Li Jin, the king of Ruyang, Liang Zhi, the Zhongshu Sheren, and the emperor Fu Weiming, and Li Ang saw him on Zhuque Street. The others were not known to Leon.

"The king of Ruyang and the people of Liangshe have eaten wine with the sun, so the old man will not introduce it." After Li Shizhi finished speaking, Li Jin, the king of Ruyang, greeted him boldly.

"The sun, today you came just in time, that day in the champion building, Liang Sheren and I were both drunk by you, this face can be lost, today there is Zuo Xianggong, I have to win back a game, hahaha........."

Li Jin, an old handsome guy, has a bold personality and is easy-going, Li Ang has a good impression of him, and stepped forward to bow and said: "King Ruyang, please accept the late birth." ”

"Don't be polite when the day is fast. Please up, please up. ”

After Li Ang finished his salute, Li Shizhi pointed to a middle-aged man in his forties with slender eyebrows and eyes on the left and said, "Rizhi, this is Wei Shangshu of the newly promoted Criminal Department." ”

"This is the Emperor Fu of Longyoujiedu."

"This is Lang Da Xixun, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites."

"This is Xie Anbang in the Tobu Langzhong."

With Li Shizhi's introduction, it can be seen that none of the people sitting are small people, and Li Ang can only go up to give salutes one by one, except for Da Xixun who looked at him twice and said a few words of greeting; Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming were not interested in his small move, so they casually said politely, and then turned around and continued to talk.

As for Xie Anbang, who was in the household department, he didn't take Li Ang too seriously, and Li Ang didn't take him too seriously.

As soon as Li Ang sat down, he heard Huangfu Weiming say dissatisfiedly: "Li Linfu, this traitor, this is clearly excluding dissidents, and I can't impeach this traitor tomorrow." ”
