Chapter 51: Greed
"Let him in!" Li Yuan's eyes flickered, nodded, and asked Li Jiancheng to invite Li Xin in.
"Shibo." Li Xin's face was calm, and he arched his hand and said, "The little nephew has already made the still used for winemaking, and Shibo will also be able to make wine in the future." ”
"Hmm!" Li Yuan's face was expressionless, he glanced at Li Xin seriously, and said: "It's about to go on the expedition, you have to practice martial arts well, read more military books, and pay less attention to those strange and obscene skills." After all, fame can only be achieved right away, and fame cannot be achieved by relying on these obscene skills. ”
"Little nephew understands." Li Xin nodded, hesitated for a while, took out a letter from his arms, and said: "The little nephew took the liberty to go to Yu Shiji's mansion and gave him a copy of the still, which he asked the little nephew to bring to Shibo." ”
Li Yuan looked at the music in Li Xin's hand, his face was cloudy, he hesitated for a while, and then took the music fold, he originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity, but looking at the music in Li Xin's hand, he suddenly had a feeling of fright, he took it at the moment, and couldn't wait to open it and look at it, I didn't know if I didn't see it, and the cold sweat on my back flowed out, and the whole back was wet in an instant. As long as he is an official, no one has done anything in private, and the same is true for Li Yuan. The things on this twist and turn are basically things that he Li Yuan has done, big or small, but once Yang Guang knows, whether his life can be saved is another matter, but the title can never be saved.
"Father." Li Jiancheng saw that Li Yuan's face was wrong, and asked with some concern.
"The virtuous nephew saved my Li Yuan's life again." Li Yuan looked at Li Xin with a complicated expression. He could see that this was a piece of music presented to Yang Guang, and he didn't know if it was intercepted by Yu Shiji, or if he was going to play it, anyway, this time because of Li Xin, Yu Shiji let himself go. Really speaking, Li Xin has saved himself twice. How not to make Li Yuan feel very embarrassed.
?“ Shibo treats the little nephew like a mountain, and the little nephew should do his best for the uncle. Seeing Li Yuan like this, Li Xin shook his head in his heart, this Li Yuan will definitely not be a master, wide on the outside and taboo on the inside, no wonder there are many people who surrendered to him in history who did not end well. If he hadn't brought Yu Shiji's twists and turns this time, I'm afraid Li Yuan wouldn't have seen him.
"A family doesn't speak two words. Well. Li Yuan nodded and said, "Let's go, take the old man to have a look." Li Yuan escaped, and his interest came, so he immediately pulled Li Xin and walked out. Looking at the huge glass products outside, he nodded repeatedly.
"It's really ingenious, it's amazing!" Li Yuan carefully stroked the stills and other glazed products, nodded again and again, and said, "Look, if it is far away, you won't find this thing at all." This kind of glass is at least worth as much as 10,000 gold on the market. Gee. Not bad, not bad. ”
"It's not easy to make this thing!" Li Jiancheng also nodded again and again, showing appreciation.
"The little nephew also prepared a gift for Shibo." Li Xin clapped his hands, and saw Duan Qi walking over with a mirror, the mirror was not big, but half the size of his body, the outside was wrapped in rosewood, and it was carved with exquisite patterns, which looked extremely high-end, and Yu Shiji, Li Yuan's father and son were very shocked by the mirror in front of them, Li Yuan was the boss with his mouth open, and Li Yuanji's eyes showed greed.
"Uncle Shi, what is this?" A few people came in the distance, it was Chai Shao and Li Xiuning and others, Li Shimin, the eldest grandson Wuji and the eldest grandson Wujian also followed, everyone looked at the mirror in front of them, and they saw it clearly, Li Xiuning and the eldest grandson Wujian were both born with flowers and moon appearances, one was heroic, and the other was still graceful, and it was clear in this mirror, the two girls suddenly opened their mouths wide, this mirror is much better than the bronze mirror in their boudoir.
"It's the mirror. There are a variety of uses. Li Xin's face was calm, he clapped his hands again, and saw another young man walking outside, holding a box in his hand. The box is extremely delicate.
"There are two sides here, respectively for Miss Li and Miss Changsun, which can be regarded as a little bit of Li Xin's heart." Li Xin took the box and gave it to Li Xiuning and said: "Although it is a little smaller, it can also be used." ”
"Okay, you're welcome." Li Xiuning's beautiful eyes lit up, and she unceremoniously took the box over, opened it, and there were indeed two small mirrors inside, and her own flowers and moon were printed on the mirrors, and she was happy in her heart.
The eldest grandson Wuji's face was slightly red, and he glanced at Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji, and saw that both of them nodded, so he shyly took a mirror. thanked Li Xin. Of course, she knew that she only got a mirror because she was stained with Li Xiuning's light, otherwise, it would not be her turn.
"Humph!" Chai Shao looked at Li Xiuning's appearance, his face gloomy. Although he hated Li Xin very much, he also had to admit that the mirror in front of him was indeed a ingenious thing, which could not be made by ordinary people. For a while, Chai Shao was envious and jealous in his heart, his handsome face was distorted, and his eyes spewed out hatred, especially when he saw Li Xiuning's eyes looking at Li Xin, it made his heart feel like a knife.
"Li Xin, is this thing possible to be manufactured?" Li Yuanji's eyes lit up, and he turned around the mirror, and couldn't help but ask.
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and immediately understood Li Yuanji's thoughts, and looked at Li Xin for a while, waiting for Li Xin's answer. The eldest grandson Wuji's face became unsightly, this Li Yuanji looked too ugly, there used to be lottery tickets, there was winemaking, and now he is eyeing Li Xin's glaze.
"Yuanji, you are presumptuous." Li Jiancheng coughed and said with a slight dissatisfaction. He naturally knew what Li Yuanji meant, but he thought that Li Xin had already paid a lot for the Li family, and this time Li Yuanji actually wanted glass, and the reputation of the Li family would be lost cleanly.
"It's a hassle to make zuò, and I'm afraid I can't make such a beautiful glass every time." Li Xin glanced at Li Yuan, and seeing that the other party didn't seem to have any expression, his heart sank, and he hurriedly whispered. The Li family now has brewing and lottery, and there is a samurai Tong, a person who specializes in helping them make money, and he still thinks about his own glass, if this is the case, the Li family is too disappointing, Li Xin decided without hesitation to leave the Li family, anyway, he already has the official title of Commander of the Chong, and he will develop slowly, and sooner or later there will be a chance to grow.
"Yuan Ji, if this thing is so easy to get out, I'm afraid those Hu merchants in the Western Regions would have already made these things, where is San Lang's turn." Li Yuan touched his beard and laughed: "It's already a blessing to be able to make a few objects." Can't be insatiable anymore. Li Yuan nodded at Li Xin with a smile.
"Yes, father." Li Yuanji had a respectful face, in fact, his eyes were gloomy, but he flashed a strange look, although he was very young, he was greedy by nature, lustful and good money, and the maids sent to him by Li Yuan were not almost ruined by him. In front of Li Yuan, there are still people who can suppress him, but behind Li Yuan, no one dares to provoke him.
"Uncle Xie is considerate." Li Xinzhong sighed slightly, don't look at Li Yuan now stopped Li Yuanji's words, in fact, in his heart, he didn't think so, this matter would be like this for anyone, and they all wanted to take the benefits in their own pockets, but they didn't know what Li Yuan had given him so far. Ascend Mien, fight Mi Qiu. has been like this since ancient times, he has given Li Yuan too many things, so he will make Li Yuan feel like this, but what I don't know is that if he hadn't saved Li Yuan at the beginning, what would Li Yuan be like now?
"Listen to Sanniang, Brother Li is good at poetry?" Li Shimin suddenly said to Li Xin with a smile.
"Say a few words casually, you can't be elegant." Li Xin didn't know what Li Shimin was looking for him, so he hurriedly said modestly, he couldn't make poems, but he could still copy poems. There are so many Tang poems, just copy one or two sentences, and you can copy them for decades.
"Tomorrow, several sons of the family in Daxing City are going to hold a poetry meeting, and if Brother Li goes, he will definitely shine." Li Shimin pretended to be mysterious and said, "Sanniang is going too!" ”
Li Xin's face was embarrassed for a while, and he shook his head and said: "I haven't participated in this matter yet, most of them are children of the family, I'm afraid I won't be allowed to do it!" ”
"Why should Brother Li be humble? Everyone is a young person, not to mention Brother Li Yunwen Yunwu, are you afraid that those children of the family will not succeed? The eldest grandson Wuji said disdainfully: "Brother Li, it's better to go and see how many young talents there are in this Daxing City." Brother Li is about to go on the expedition, so it is better to take the opportunity to go out and relax. ”
"Okay, the eldest grandson said so, if the younger brother doesn't agree, it will be unkind. I'll see you at the end of the South Mountain tomorrow, and the younger brother will go back and prepare first. Li Xin thought about it and agreed.
