Chapter 123: Can't I Sleep Here Tonight?
Everyone immediately dared not speak, and sat down to eat!
Li Liqian, who has always been hippie and smiling, but also uncertain, is like an obedient little white rabbit at the moment, sitting there and eating!
'Tea' has passed three rounds, and the dishes have five flavors!
Everyone drank and ate to their heart's content, Pei Qing led everyone to clean up the mess, Xi Xi Suo for a while, and everyone went to the back hall!
The whole shop, a huge front store, leaving only Li Ce, Li Lizhen and Xue Wanche!
"This ...... Eat and drink to your heart's content, I ...... Should ......" Xue Wanche looked sad, knowing that it was redundant for him to stay here, but there was no good excuse to leave, thinking left and right, thinking and meditating, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, "Should I go for a walk?" ”
"Wait!" Li Ce frowned slightly, looked out, but saw that the sky was dark, "The midwinter season is not as good as before, it gets dark very quickly, and now there is ice and snow on the road, the princess goes back alone, I am afraid that it will be dangerous, can General Xue escort the princess back to the palace?" There is also an explanation to His Majesty at one time! ”
"This ......" Xue Wanche's eyes trembled, and he just wanted to agree, but he turned his head to look at the princess Li Liqing, his eyes were misty, as if he wanted to seek the answer to his question.
"Since the little shopkeeper has the intention to arrange it, then I might as well be respectful!" Li Lizhi didn't say anything else, got up slowly, took a few steps out, but turned back suddenly, "You see it's pitch black outside, and you can't see your five fingers, or I'll sleep here tonight, right?" ”
"No way!" Li Ce's expression was firm, and his tone was cold, "You are the princess of the Tang Dynasty, how can you sleep here?" Besides, are you homeless? If you don't go back, Your Majesty must not worry about death? Hurry back! It's dark outside, I'll let General Xue light a torch to escort it! ”
"Little shopkeeper, how can the torches grow bright when the wind is howling outside?" Li Lizhi looked anxious, "Or I'd better stay here!" It's windy outside, and the little shopkeeper doesn't want to see me have an accident, right? ”
"Don't say so much useless! There's no room for you to stay in! Li Ce frowned, and his face was angry, "Besides, I don't have a palace security here, if you live here, it will be impossible for all of us in the store to sleep peacefully!" ”
"How could this be?" Li Lizhi came to Li Ce's side, "If there is no room, then I will sleep in the same room as you!" I think you're also a decent man, and you won't do anything to me! ”
"Whether you can move your hands and feet, I don't know, anyway, this cold weather is really cold! If you don't go back, you'll sleep on the street! Let's see if Shuofeng will freeze your hands and feet! ”
"Huh! Is there really little room for manoeuvre? Li Lizhi looked sad, as if she had suffered some setback, "I just want to sleep here!" I'll run here tomorrow! ”
"You can not come tomorrow, but you must not sleep here!" Li Ce frowned, and there was a look of disgust on his face.
"Okay, okay! I'll be back tomorrow anyway! ”
After saying this, Li Lizhi walked out, turned her head and glared at Xue Wanche.
"What are you doing? Send me back to the palace! ”
"Yes, yes!" Xue Wanche hurriedly replied, completely lacking the courage that a general should have, "Wait a minute, princess, I'll go get a torch!" ”
In a moment, Xue Wanche took the torch, and Li Lizhi looked back, and a bright smile appeared on her tense cheeks.
"Little shopkeeper, I'll be here tomorrow!"
"Oh!"
Just a simple response, Li Ce got up and went to the back hall!
Li Lizhen originally thought that the young man got up and wanted to send him off, but he just wanted to stop him, but when he saw the young man turn away, his heart was full of hope, but as if he had suffered some setback, he suddenly lost a lot!
But!
That's exactly what a small shopkeeper does!
Do you want him to send someone away? How could it be!
Knowing this, Li Lizhi took the lead and walked in the direction of the palace, hoping that the sun would rise in the east sooner and leave the dark night sooner!
……
The moon sets and the sun rises!
A new day is coming!
It was another sunny day, although the early risers were still frozen and shrunk, and there was some regret in their minds about leaving the warm bed!
But in order to live, how can I stay in the bed all the time?
Next to the gate of the Drunken Immortal Building, Li Ce, a young shopkeeper, was lying on a rocking chair!
This seems to have become the most common scene in the Drunken Immortal Building!
Next to the small shopkeeper Li Ce, place a charcoal stove!
On the stovetop, there is a pot of boiling water!
On the small table on the side, there is a purple sand teapot, a strangely shaped cup, very similar to glass, but it is more transparent by glass, in later generations, this material became ground glass, and a pot of tea!
Early in the morning, the streets are sparsely populated, but the birds that remain here are chirping non-stop, as if begging humans to provide them with a little help for their survival!
Pei Qing was kind enough to put some fragments of rice noodles on the platform in front of the store and let the birds peck at them!
Rising day by day!
Su Dingfang, who is the squad leader, went to 'Jiangxing' to open the door of the store after saying to Li Ce in the morning!
After entering the 'Jiangxing', Su Dingfang nibbled on the steamed bun and began a volume of 'Art of War' study!
At this time, there are already a lot of 'Jiangxing' books!
After all, this is one of the things that His Majesty promised Li Ce, as long as the palace has completed the transcription, the new classics will be sent to the 'Jiangxing', from August to December in the middle of the year, a season has passed!
There are more and more classics copied by the palace, and there are more and more classics of the other party in 'Jiangxing'!
It's just that!
These classics are all depicted in bamboo slips, which is really difficult to carry and read!
If you could write all the books on paper, as you did in later generations, it would not only be much easier to read, but also easy to carry!
In fact, Li Ce had already started to build a 'paper mill'!
A few days ago, in the midst of that heavy snowfall, Li Ce asked Pei Qing to call the owner of the store next to him!
After a long talk, the shopkeeper was willing to endure the pain and transfer the store to Li Ce!
Li Ce also paid a lot of money!
Li Ce, who got the storefront, was not in a hurry to start business!
Just yesterday, Li Ce also asked Pei Qing to go to Chang'an to find skilled craftsmen and renovate the store for him!
However, in the middle of winter, skilled craftsmen are not easy to find!
Even those craftsmen who have made a name for themselves have gone to work as long-term workers in the Tuas clan at this moment!
After all, the Chinese New Year is approaching, how can the family not add new furniture?
Just to get a good reputation of 'saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new'!
"Brother Qing'er, you're done at noon, you better go and find it!" Li Ce sighed deeply, "I don't believe it, in the huge Chang'an City, there is no craftsman who is leisurely!" ”
"Yes, little master! Even if I break my leg today, I'm going to find it! Pei Qing swore an oath, and while tidying up the counter, he was ready to welcome customers for the new day!
However, at this moment, a flaming guy ran to the 'Drunken Immortal Tower' from outside.
