Chapter 205: Return to Chang'an
The trip to Chang'an is imminent, Li Su convened Shangguan Yi and others to have a small meeting, explained some things, and gave his subordinates some benefits, in addition to giving some money, and the specialties of the Chamber of Commerce of the Tang Dynasty have also been divided a lot, which can be regarded as their year-end bonus, after all, follow him, who doesn't want a double harvest of money in the future, Li Su can't be stingy with this.
As for other local officials, this benefit is paid from the treasury, this year's Yizhou agricultural and commercial income is a lot, plus the salt industry tax and land sales, there is also nearly a million yuan of income in a year, more than when Gao Quan was in office, this money is abundant, basically enough to maintain the normal operation of the fiefdom, now Shangguan Yi is smiling when he sleeps, and the government has finally become rich from the previous poor and white.
After the meeting, Li Su skimmed off all the things on his body and concentrated on preparing for the matter of going back, in addition to the people from the palace, there were also Qin Huaiyu and the Zheng sisters, under the persuasion of Cui Yingying, the two sisters still decided to go back to have a look, and Qin Huaiyu was also worried about his father's body and wanted to go back to take a look.
The two days passed quickly, under Cui Yingying's personal selection, all kinds of gifts had been in place, and Li Su also prepared some special things to take back, and in the end, all the things added up, a total of dozens of cars, which made Li Su feel a little distressed.
This morning, everyone went out to Chang'an, Cui Yingying and the Zheng sisters shared a carriage, Li Yu and Qin Huaiyu took another carriage, now it is not as good as spring, this is cold enough to ride a horse outside, and he and Qin Huaiyu don't want to stay outside.
Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, Li Su gave an order, and the convoy headed towards Chang'an, on both sides of the convoy were a thousand elites selected from the Central Army, and they were responsible for the safety of Li Su's trip.
The convoy headed north along the main road that had been built, as if to cooperate with the convoy, and the heavy snowfall had stopped last night. But the weather was still cloudy, as if it would move on to the next one at any time.
"How are you doing with the little lady of the Zheng family now?"
Li Su and Qin Huaiyu were roasting braziers in the carriage, and the carriage of Cui Yingying in this carriage was specially built for the palace in Taoyuan, not only with a shock-absorbing system such as springs, but also with rubber wheels, and the outside of the carriage was specially wrapped with a thick layer of sheepskin to resist the wind.
Qin Huaiyu smiled when he heard this, looking like a stupid man in love. "She'll be smiling at me."
"Look at your appearance, even if you have been with the pig for so long in a month, you will smile at it, and there will be no substantial progress." The left and right are also boring, and Li Su is ready to gossip to the end.
Qin Huaiyu still smirked, "Don't worry, she didn't pay attention to me before." You can talk to me now. ”
"That's okay, at least I'm defenseless against you, keep trying!" Li Su teased him and lay on the carriage, I have to say that this carriage is not only warm, but also has a lot of internal space. It can be regarded as a giant in the carriage, and it is more than enough for two people to sleep in it.
In the carriage behind, Cui Yingying and the Zheng sisters were also chatting hotly, Zheng Binglu is now fully recovered, and Zheng Binglan still has a trace of nervousness on her face, and she still has a pimple in her heart about returning to Chang'an.
"Binglan, Qin Huaiyu is very good to you, he is the son of the Duke of Yiguo. It's a good match with your family, and the only drawback is that you have studied less since you were a child, but now you are also studying at the Military Academy, if you want, how about I let His Highness be this matchmaker for you? After a few words, Cui Yingying remembered Li Su's explanation and tested Zheng Binglan's meaning.
In fact, at this time in the Tang Dynasty, there were not so many romantic love talks. It's already a great thing that two people can know each other and have a good impression of each other, and most people are the words of the matchmaker at the behest of their parents, even if they marry a dominatrix and go home, they have to bear it.
Although there were only three people there, Zheng Binglan still blushed. "Yingying, why did you mention this again?"
Zheng Binglu rolled his eyes and said: "Sister, Yingying is right, and General Qin seems to like my sister very much, and others are not bad, there are many people in Yizhou City who propose marriage to him, it is said that he refused, if you drag it like this, I can't tell which little lady he likes, and it will not be my sister's turn at that time." ”
Zheng Binglan's expression was gloomy, "What qualifications does a remnant like me have to be favored by General Qin, if he marries me, he will not be laughed at in the future." ”
Zheng Binglu wanted to persuade again, but Cui Yingying stopped her, she heard the meaning from Zheng Binglan's words, she was not unwilling, she was just worried about dragging down Qin Huaiyu, this knot can only be solved by Qin Huaiyu, and it is useless for others to say anything.
The days of rushing are boring and painful, Li Su can only play chess with Qin Huaiyu for fun in the carriage, but after a few days, he feels bored, this day he took out two playing cards and said to Qin Huaiyu: "Play this!" ”
Qin Huaiyu had never seen such a thing, so he felt strange and said, "What is this?" ”
"Playing cards, it's not fun for two people to play, I'll call two more people over." Li Su said, letting the carriage stop.
A few days away, the convoy has arrived at the boundary of Mianzhou, the convoy stopped, Cui Yingying in the car behind opened the curtain and looked out, and saw Li Su getting down from the carriage, so he said: "Your Highness, what happened?" ”
"It's nothing, let's go to the carriage in front of you and play with this." Li shook the poker in his hand.
Although there are many topics between women, they have been talked about in a few days, Cui Yingying is bored, and said excitedly: "Okay, wait a minute!" ”
After that, the curtain of the carriage was opened after a while, and Cui Yingying pulled the two sisters out of the car.
The three of them got into the car, and Li Su said to Rong Da: "Keep going." As he spoke, he looked around, there was much less snow here than in Yizhou, and the exposed soil could be seen on the road.
The convoy moved forward again, Li Su also got into the carriage, and at this time, the five in the room were sitting in a circle, Qin Huaiyu and Zheng Binglan were sitting together, and the two girls deliberately squeezed her to Qin Huaiyu's side, Qin Huaiyu was even more useless, and she kept smirking.
"Your Highness, what is poker?" Cui Yingying looked at the things in Li Su's hand and said.
These two playing cards were temporarily put on the carriage by Li Su, and he didn't plan to play them, after all, he didn't want to, but he didn't expect the road to be so boring, forcing him to take them out.
Li Su took the poker apart, put the fifty-four cards on the small table in the middle, this first step has to teach them to know the cards, "poker is a game of cards, look, this is called the ace of spades, this is the little king ......"
In the carriage, Li Su became a teacher on the spot, in fact, poker is only four suits, more than a dozen symbols, it is not too difficult for them, Professor Li Su's method is to teach while playing, the first thing to play is to break eggs, poker will be proficient in a few handfuls.
"You can't play more than six cards at a time!"
"Now it's a two, two is bigger than A!"
"Qin Huaiyu, you idiot, why are you blowing me up? We're in this together! ”
“……”
In the entire carriage, only Li Su had the loudest voice, Zheng Binglu did not participate, but just watched from the sidelines, while Qin Huaiyu and Li Su were a family, and Cui Yingying and Zheng Binglan were a family.
After more than a dozen rounds, in the nagging sound of Li Su, the three of them began to have a basic understanding of the rules of the game, and began to play a little bit, Li Su's nagging also began to decrease, and after more than a dozen rounds, Li Su was a little tired, and it was too boring to play with novices, but Cui Yingying and the three of them were addicted, and they had just entered the state at this time, and they didn't want to stop at all, so Li Su had to accompany them to continue.
But I have to say that playing poker is indeed a good way to consume time, an hour, an afternoon, a day, more than ten days of travel in this kind of entertainment slip away, when you arrive in Chang'an, several people's egg breaking skills have been better than the blue, to be honest, Li Su's egg breaking skills are not good, so he was nagged people into Li Su.
"Your Highness, why don't you blow up the bomb with it, you will win if you get the bomb out first."
"Your Highness, why don't you come out of a pair, I'll have a pair left, and I'll run away when I get a pair, and now I'm down."
"Your Highness, your cards stink!"
“……”
This time it was Li Su's and Cui Yingying's family's turn, Cui Yingying was nagging non-stop, and now they have only hit Xiao Wu, Qin Huaiyu and Zheng Binglan have both hit A, as long as they win one more game, they can clear the customs.
Li Su was extremely depressed, he looked at Qin Huaiyu and Zheng Binglan who were flying in the autumn waves, and they all said that they were proud of the love field and frustrated in the card field, how could this not be fulfilled in Qin Huaiyu's boy.
"Your Highness, win one more game, and this sapphire will be ours." Qin Huaiyu looked at the pebble-sized sapphire on the table, and when Rongda said that he would arrive in Chang'an in one or two hours, Li Yu took out a sapphire and put it on the table as a bargaining chip as soon as he was excited.
"Don't be complacent, if you can't beat us, you have to fight again, hehe!" Li Su said to Qin Huaiyu.
The four of them were just about to unveil the plaque, when Rong Da's voice came from outside, "Your Highness, Chang'an has arrived!" ”
Li Su threw down the card, the whole person relaxed, and finally arrived in Chang'an, this sentence seemed to have magic power, so that Cui Yingying put the cards in his hand, but Qin Huaiyu smiled evilly and picked up the sapphire with his hand, he was afraid that Li Su would pay the bill.
Compared with Li Su and Qin Huaiyu, the feelings of the three girls for Chang'an are better than the two, after all, they really counted, the two only stayed in Chang'an for half a year, and the three women are different.
The guards of Chang'an Mingde Gate looked at the convoy slowly advancing in shock, only to see that the cavalry wearing silver armor walked in front, each of them carried a large flag with red edges, the flag was neat and consistent, the middle of the banner of the king of Shu two big characters vigorous and powerful, under the north wind blowing, the flag fluttered in the wind, hunting sounded, behind the cavalry was a continuous convoy, among which the two carriages were gorgeously decorated, enough to have the usual carriage four or five big, for a carriage, A man in a long-sleeved crewneck shirt embroidered with purple gold filigree is lifting the curtains and looking out.
"King Shu!" A soldier blurted out.
