Chapter 487: The Eve
Li Chengqian thought about it, and then shook his head helplessly: "Father, this son really doesn't know, but in this regard, I think Father, you shouldn't fight with the teacher, after all, no matter how big the formation is, it is also giving Changle a long face, and giving Changle a long face is to give us a long face for Datang, anyway, in the past few years, Dahan has been more advanced than our Datang in many aspects, which is also a well-known thing." ”
Li Shimin is also a little helpless, and he can't be blamed for his selfishness, mainly this kind of thing, the folk say that it is indeed true, the more powerful the man, the more faceless the woman is, the problem is the folk, he is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
It's just that now, he really doesn't have a good way, if Huo Gang really wants to make a big move, he really can't compare, the point is that Huo Gang is definitely going to make a big move, after so many years, the correspondence between him and Changle has never been interrupted.
The two of them are like what they themselves say, becoming "pen pals", because of the legendary love story between Changle and Huo Gang, that's right, the love story of the two has been spread outside the palace, and I don't know how many storytellers have adapted it into various versions.
All in all, the two of them have become the envy of the whole Datang people, and this form of "pen pal" has spread throughout the Tang Dynasty, although Li Shimin has not specifically inquired about this matter, but he also knows that in Chang'an City, many ladies are now married to those men who are married to themselves as "pen pals".
And Changle and Huo Gang can become the immortal couple that the whole Tang Dynasty envies, mainly because they envy Changle, the reason for this is naturally that Huo Gang almost spoiled Changle to the sky, Changle is now known as the richest man in Datang, this is really not a joke.
Although the background of each gate valve family may be richer than Changle, how long has Changle started from scratch? And how many years have these gate valve families accumulated? This is not a level at all, so Changle is called the richest man.
And this time it was two people getting married, with Huo Gang's previous character, you don't have to think about it, it must be a big scale, so he has this idea, he is a father-in-law, he can't be much worse than his son-in-law, right?
But after thinking about it, forget it, it's unlikely, after so many years, Dahan is much stronger than Datang, and Li Shimin can also see the gap in many aspects, hearing Li Chengqian say this, Li Shimin thought about it and simply didn't say anything.
Since it can't be stopped, there is no way to do it, so we can only wait until the time comes.
After chatting with Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian also said goodbye, they have to prepare what should be prepared, although the biggest pretense has been given to the big man a few years ago, but this time Li Shimin can't really give nothing.
But there is no need for money or anything, so what Li Shimin prepared this time was the relatively backward things of the Han Dynasty, or the things that the Han did not have time to open up the market in this regard.
One of them is porcelain, although the Han also has porcelain, but because of the geographical location, there are not many fine clay for firing porcelain, so in terms of fine porcelain, there are not many Han people.
The porcelain mainly fired by the Han Dynasty is the most ordinary porcelain, which is porcelain for the common people to use. But as the leader of the Han Dynasty, Huo Gang naturally couldn't use these, even if the Han used it to entertain other people, he needed fine porcelain.
In addition to fine porcelain, it is high-end silk of fine products, these things are given priority to the annual output, and many of them are tributes, so Li Shimin has stored a large number of such high-end silks, which are all pretenses prepared by Li Shimin.
In addition to these things, there are other jewelry and other jewelry, such as gold ornaments, wedding clothes, etc., Li Shimin asked people to prepare several sets.
Including Changle's daily wear of clothing, there are a lot of these things, these things are constantly made by craftsmen, don't underestimate these high-end silks of Datang, these handmade high-end silks are difficult even if they want to be made in later generations.
And those exquisite gold ornaments are definitely works of art in this era, and similar craftsmen, the most unintentional is in the royal family, although the various gate valve families also have, but most of the tribute is handed over to the royal family.
Most of the things that Li Shimin prepared were these, because there were more things, and they were definitely not as good as the big man, so Li Shimin did not prepare.
The next morning, the road between the Datang Chang'an Railway Station and Chang'an was directly blocked, and the Imperial Forest Army of Chang'an City began to ban it all over the place, and with the closure of the Royal Forest Army, horse-drawn carriages had begun to reach both sides of these roads.
And the flowers transported on these carriages also attracted the attention of these royal guards, but they all just stood there and watched, but those red roses continued to start to be transported to both sides of the road one by one, and when those special clay pots were neatly piled up, these royal guards couldn't help but have some envy.
This...... Usually these roses seem to be like that, but when these flowers are more numerous, they seem to be ...... It's really nice to look at, especially when the flowers are red.
As a matter of fact...... These Royal Foresters are right, these flowers do belong to the Rosaceae family, but in modern times it has another name, that is, red roses, roses have originated in China since ancient times, so there is no shortage of red roses, and these red roses Huo Gang has not only been planted in the Tang Dynasty, but has also been cultivated in the Han Dynasty.
Its seeds have been cultivated in Dahan with spiritual spring water and then sent to Datang for planting, so the vitality of these seeds is very tenacious, as for those clay pots, they are not worth much anyway, they are nothing more than spending money, and Huo Gang is not afraid of spending money now.
According to the calculation of six kilometers of road, three layers of red roses are neatly placed on both sides of the road, and there are at least three to four red roses in each clay pot, although their leaves have not been cut off, but the fiery red roses are still very beautiful when they are connected to the city.
For a whole day, the six-kilometre road was covered with red roses by thousands of people, and not only outside the city, but also on both sides of the roads inside the city. It can be said that when the city also saw the road paved with red roses, almost the whole city was in a stir.
However, although the sensation is a sensation, and even many people came to watch, but no one touched these flowers alone, even if the roads in the city were not blocked, because they all knew who the person who married was the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty, so that all the people of the Tang Dynasty could live a good life, so the poor students had a bright future Princess Changle.
These ordinary people are full of respect for Princess Changle, and in the days when Princess Changle got married, they naturally would not do such a disrespectful thing.
And they also knew that all the flowers on both sides of the street were prepared by the leader of the Han Dynasty, Huo Gang, and naturally they were prepared to marry the eldest princess, so they could not destroy it.
When night falls and the whole street is empty, the city is busy again, ordinary people have already curfew, but the red carpet dedicated to this road has just begun to be laid.
The road has been cleaned again at dusk, and the bright red carpet of about two meters wide made of wool pressed and dyed has been paved all the way from inside Chang'an City to outside the city, and the section of road from the south gate of Chang'an City to the railway station is also a concrete road, which is the only concrete road built by Datang so far.
Because it has to lead all the way to the railway station, and then undertakes the heavy responsibility of transporting a large number of goods, so the road is far away from Dahan to transport cement, and here it becomes a concrete road.
At this moment, the road has been thoroughly cleaned, and the road is only six kilometers before and after, all of which are paved with the usual red wool carpet, and it is estimated that Li Shimin may not be able to imagine this tomorrow.
Although Datang is extravagant, it is not extravagant to this extent, that is, the wool is not the previous big man who dares to play like this.
However, there are many things that Li Shimin doesn't know, and they are destined to see it tomorrow.
At this moment, the palace is still brightly lit, because Changle is going to get married tomorrow, so there are a lot of things to prepare tonight, for example, there are two sets of wedding dresses, first of all, one set will be worn tomorrow, and then because there is a long time on the road, so when it comes to the destination, it is natural to change to another set.
In addition to the wedding dress, other Changle clothes, the salutes that need to be carried, the dowry, etc., there are about thirty carriages. These carriages have been decorated, and the brand-new carriages provided by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Han Dynasty are already waiting in the palace, and the carriages have been covered with red silk.
The carriages were all white horses without a trace of stray hair.
Changle, who was sitting in front of the bronze mirror, actually didn't have anything to do, and Changle didn't know what kind of emotions he was at the moment, and the eldest grandson queen sitting behind Changle gently stroked her long hair with her hand, and said with a look of pity: "My Changle has grown up, and he will get married tomorrow." ”
"The Queen Mother." Changle turned his head, his eyes were full of reluctance, tomorrow she will marry thousands of miles away, the first time she has left the eldest grandson queen so far, how can she be reluctant?
"Good boy, the queen mother knows that you are reluctant, but haven't you waited for a long time for this day?" Empress Changsun said with a smile, she is not so uncomfortable, mainly because of the opening of the train, it is not unimaginable to go to the Western Regions, and Changle also has a chance to come back, so her mood is much better.
Empress Changsun's words made Changle's face blush slightly, compared to her reluctance to her parents, reluctance to Datang, more, deep down in her heart, she wanted to see him more, which girl didn't have a spring?
