Chapter 310: Family Gathering
Therefore, there is only one truth, Li Yong likes children, Princess Xiangcheng and Xiao Rui's eyes immediately fell on Li Lizhen, you have to work hard in the future, and then Princess Xiangcheng's eyes fell back on herself, and she couldn't help but feel a little resentful in her heart, is she unable to let go of the bed or the horse is not working hard? For a while, Princess Xiangcheng's mind drifted a little far.
"Brother-in-law, what else are you doing?"
Li Zhi asked excitedly when he saw Li Yong, Li Yong smiled, knowing that this is the nature of children, just like children and elders want toys, Li Yong touched his head and said.
"Not for the time being, but when the time comes, I will definitely take you to see it."
Unexpectedly, Li Yong really liked the pheasant slave, and even she was ignored, Li Lizhi couldn't help pouting slightly, and her heart was inexplicably a little surprised.
"Pheasant slave, don't you want a glass horse?"
Changle suddenly reminded that Li Zhi had indeed been muttering to her for a long time about the glazed horse.
"Is it okay, brother-in-law, can you make me a glass horse?"
Li Zhi asked pitifully, after all, the current Li Zhi is still a little kid, Li Yong waved his hand.
"Isn't it a glass horse? You can send you another glass cow. ”
Although Li Yong's glaze has been sold in Chang'an for a long time, the glaze is still in demand in Chang'an, mainly because the preciousness of the glaze is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, coupled with Zheng Liwan's auction and high-end cooperation, but everyone wants to buy some glazed ware to come back to enjoy, and Datang is not only Chang'an, there are many other big cities, and a bunch of subject countries, now merchants come to Chang'an glazed ware is almost a necessary purchase of goods, so Li Yong is still very satisfied with this kind of cheap cost, profit and profiteering glaze, Giving Li Zhi a glazed horse glazed cow is nothing, but Li Zhi is estimated to be able to faint in surprise, abacus, Li Yong can play loudly, you can use the abacus on your buttocks, the ignorant Li Zhi immediately cheered when he heard it.
"Oh, that's great, brother-in-law, you're so good!"
Li Yong's face also smiled, isn't it just some sand, and he can have a good relationship with the future emperor, this deal is really worth it.
"By the way, isn't the saint here too?"
Li Yong suddenly asked in a low voice, although Li Yong has been married to Changle for more than two years, he still can't change his name to Li Ersheng, and sometimes he will see his father and the saint jumping between the two titles, Xiao Rui was startled when he heard Li Yong say this.
"What? Father is here too? ”
Li Yong said suspiciously.
"When I came just now, there were a few carriages, and they were all guards, what a big battle!"
Princess Changle couldn't help but reply.
"Where is the father and the emperor coming, it's us!"
Li Yong said speechlessly.
"That's you? You still need to bring so many guards with you when you go out? ”
It wasn't used before, but it was ...... later The three princesses suddenly looked at him with strange eyes, especially Princess Changle's little face seemed to be ruddy and ruddy, Li Yong wondered.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Li Zhi's chubby little face was also flushed, and he said hesitantly.
"I didn't use it before, but later my father ordered the princess to bring more guards when she travels, and the more the better."
Li Yong was stunned, he almost didn't vomit blood, could it be that Li Er was guarding against him? If I don't marry a daughter, do I want to do it to you and other daughters? No wonder everyone's eyes are so weird, this is really embarrassing, Li Yong raised his head and said with a dry smile.
"The weather is so good today, the autumn is crisp and the sky is clear, hahaha~"
Xiao Rui also looked up and smiled.
"yes, yes, the weather is so nice."
Princess Yuzhang couldn't help but laugh.
"Since the sky is so good, then our great talent will make a poem!"
Everyone's eyes were suddenly focused on Li Yong.
"Well, let's make a poem."
Li Yong knew that this kind of gathering was not interesting, he pretended to be thirteen and paced slowly with his hands behind his back, looking at a hill not far away and groaning slowly.
"From a distance, the mountain is black, thin at the top and thick at the bottom, and one day upside down, thin at the bottom and thick at the top."
Silence, only the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves, everyone looked at Li Yong blankly, and then, all of them burst into laughter, the three princesses laughed with flowers, Xiao Rui's tears came out, and even the maids next to them couldn't help but tremble and laugh, they were all waiting to hear Li Yong write a good poem, how could they not expect Li Yong to write such a poem.
"Brother-in-law, you're too funny, no, I'm going to die laughing, hahaha......"
The embarrassment just now was swept away, and a servant woman hurried over and curtched.
"Princess Qiyu, His Royal Highness King Wu has come down."
Xiao Rui and Princess Xiangcheng were a little surprised, glanced at Li Lizhen and Li Yong, and then said.
"Please!"
Li Li said with a smile.
"I didn't expect the third brother to come too, it's really lively today."
Li Ke, King of Wu, Xingsan, the son of Concubine Yang, a prince who is destined to miss the throne, Li Zhi stared at the burden in Li Yong's hand and asked.
"Brother-in-law, what are you holding in your hand?"
Immediately, everyone's attention was attracted by the burden in Li Yong's hand, and Li Yong said with a smile.
"It's a rarity, corn!"
Corn? Is it the new grain corn that Li Yong poured back some time ago? I don't know anything about corn, that is, royal families like them only know about Li Yong's last time in the Ganlu Palace, but they don't know what corn looks like, Li Li asked in surprise.
"Corn? Corn grows in the field? ”
Li Yong replied with a smile.
"Of course it grows, and it grows very well, now the corn is not ripe, but it is the most tender and delicious time, it is rare to get together today, so I brought some over to everyone to taste fresh, or boiled or roasted, the taste is not bad."
Everyone was more curious about what the corn looked like, Xiao Rui asked curiously.
"I've heard from the palace people about corn before, but I don't know what it looks like?"
Li Yong put the burden on the ground, and then opened it, and several people were stunned for a moment.
"Corn is so big?"
Although they are from rich backgrounds, they are not divided into grains, but they have never seen grain that can bear such large ears, Li Yong peeled off the corn to reveal its true face, and introduced with a smile.
"Actually, it's just a stick on the inside, and only the outside layer is grain."
Several people all came up, and Xiao Rui also picked up one and peeled it off, and said in amazement.
"The grain of this corn is really big enough, how many millet grains can this corn kernel be worth, if the breeding can be successful, then our Datang will no longer have the worry of famine!"
Li Lizhi was overjoyed when she heard this, she had already eaten corn, and she also knew the importance of corn to Datang, mainly because this thing was found by her Langjun all the way, she stretched out her slender jade finger and peeled off a corn, and said proudly.
"Sister, brother-in-law, look at this corn, it is as crystal as jade, so is it appropriate to call it corn?"
Princess Xiangcheng stroked and praised.
"yes, it's big and beautiful, it's really right to call it corn."
Li Yong said with a smile.
"Actually, when it's ripe and dried, it's golden brown."
Yu Zhanggong took the initiative to move his little nose, brought the corn close to the tip of his nose, and said in surprise.
"You smell it, there's a sweet smell!"
Li Zhi swallowed his saliva.
"yes, yes!"
Li Yong said with a smile.
"It's true that whether it's boiled or grilled, it tastes pretty good."
A few people sighed around the corn, and Li Ke strode over there, before anyone arrived, laughter came first, Li Ke smiled.
"It's so hilarious, I've heard your laughter from afar."
"Third brother!"
"Third brother!"
"Third brother!"
Li Yong also bowed his hand slightly.
"I've seen His Royal Highness King Wu."
Li Ke looked at Li Yong and said with emotion.
"Li Yong, I can be regarded as seeing you, I have always wanted to know you before, but I haven't even seen you."
In fact, when he first came to Chang'an, Li Yong was a nobody, even if everything in business was operated by the Intelligence Bureau and Zheng Liwan, no one knew about him, and then he left Chang'an for so long, after he returned to Chang'an, he was taken by the emperor to work as a free coolie, if it wasn't for everything slowly entering his plan, he wouldn't have had this time to party with them.
"Your Highness is smiling!"
Li Yong bowed to Li Ge and said very politely, and Li Ke also bowed and saluted when he saw this.
"On the order of the concubine, I came to thank you, thank you for your great kindness, and I will be useful to Li Ke in the future!"
Now Li Yong was stunned, he hadn't done anything, and he had never met Yang Concubine Li Ge, and he was very gracious, what the hell? In fact, what Li Yong didn't know was that the Empress Xiao he saved in the Turks was Concubine Yang's biological mother, Li Ge finally learned through various channels that his grandmother was saved by Li Yong, so Concubine Yang asked Li Ke to thank him This is a matter of course, this is the least filial piety, Li Yong was very confused, and everyone present was very confused.
"I don't understand, we haven't met, how can you say it, His Royal Highness King Wu is joking."
Li Ke couldn't help laughing when he heard it, seeing that Li Yong didn't know anything at all, he couldn't say anything, because this matter couldn't be known to others, because his mother was a princess of the previous dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty was established by Sui, so his position was extremely embarrassing, and everyone was respectful and alienated from him, so for a group of confused people, Li Ge didn't say much, just smiled slightly, and everyone thought that Li Ge was drinking fake wine.
"Hey, what is this?"
Li Ke's eyes fell on the corn that was surrounded by several people in the middle and asked in surprise, for Li Ge's big leap in thinking, everyone agreed that he really drank fake wine, Li Yong looked at Changle and shrugged his shoulders and said that he didn't know what was going on, he had to follow Li Ge now, and simply introduced the corn to him, Li Ge looked at the corn in front of him in even more surprise and said.
"This is corn? Such a big spike? ”
"Hahaha......"
Li Yong thought to himself, of course, do you still need to say this? Li Ke said with a smile.
"Now our people in the Tang Dynasty will be blessed."
"Whether it's blessed or not, I don't know now, but at least it's not hopeful, isn't it? Don't talk about this today, come, roast this corn and eat it first, and everyone will taste it today. ”
Li Yong said with a smile, and Princess Xiangcheng hurriedly supported the maid.
"Quick, make more charcoal fires, roast the corn, and then get a clean porcelain pot to cook the corn."
Li Yong rolled up his sleeves and smiled.
"I'll roast I'll roast, I'm good at this!"
Not to mention this group of princesses and princes, even the maids here probably haven't done barbecue work, so Li Yong thinks it's better to come by himself, not to mention the occasional picnic barbecue with colleagues in his previous life, so Li Yong's craftsmanship is still okay, the tempting fragrance of corn began to drift away, Li Zhi sat beside Li Yong and watched, Li Lizhi looked at it with a little self-blame, and said that the gentleman is far away from cooking, Li Yong is his own husband, but now he is roasting corn for his sister and brother, but she can't, Xiao Rui touched his chin and asked suspiciously.
"You seem to be so skilled, huh?"
Li Yong replied with a smile.
"How can I be pampered like you, have you ever heard a sentence, do it yourself, in fact, sometimes it's fun to do it yourself, and when I went out with the army before, I roasted this craft to roast some game to satisfy my hunger!"
"Do it yourself, have enough food and clothing, so what do you want to do?"
Li Ke asked suspiciously, Li Yong shook his head and sighed.
"Alas! Why don't you eat minced meat? ”
Li Ke hurriedly raised his hand to forgive him when he heard this, and Li Zhi asked in confusion.
"What does it mean to not eat minced meat?"
Li Yong explained with a smile.
"In the past, there was a faint monarch named Emperor Jin Hui, when there was a great drought in the world, the people had no food to eat, and many starved to death, Emperor Jin Hui was very puzzled, there was no food to eat, so why didn't the people eat meat?"
Li Zhi couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and then said a little embarrassed.
"Third brother, I'm not laughing at you!"
Suddenly, a servant woman hurried to report it.
"Your Highness, His Royal Highness King Wei has come down."
As soon as he finished speaking, a fat man in brocade clothes with a smile on his face rolled in, and he shouted dissatisfiedly.
"Oh, you guys secretly held a poetry meeting, why didn't you call me?"
Have a poetry meeting? The three princesses suddenly remembered the poem Li Yong had just written, and couldn't help but laugh, Li Tai asked suspiciously.
"What's wrong? What are you laughing at? ”
Princess Xiangcheng hurriedly said.
"No, no, we remembered our brother-in-law's masterpiece!"
Li Tai suddenly became energetic.
"Oh, my brother-in-law's masterpiece? Haha, this king knows that today's scene is so prosperous, and my brother-in-law inevitably wants to write a poem! ”
Li Tai had a strange gaze in his small eyes, and in order to attract talents and accumulate fame, he often held poetry meetings.
Li Ke smiled without knowing why.
"Wow, and good poetry? It's still hidden. ”
Everyone's eyes were all focused on Li Yong, Li Yong shrugged his shoulders slightly helplessly, signaling you to be free, Princess Yuzhang smiled coquettishly.
"Listen, you see from afar that the mountain is black, thin at the top and thick at the bottom, and one day upside down, thin at the bottom and thick at the top."
After listening, Li Tai and Li Ke were stunned, and then couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Li Yong, you are too narrow!"
Li Gexiao's tears are about to come out, if this poem was made by someone else, it would definitely have to be sprayed to death, but this poem was made by Li Yong, and it was only considered to be narrow, because Li Yong's poetry has been recognized by the whole world.
"What's funny about what makes you laugh like this?"
Everyone turned around in unison when they heard the voice.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Brother Prince!"
"Brother Prince!"
"Brother Prince!"
"Big brother!"
They didn't expect the crown prince Li Chengqian to come, Princess Xiangcheng and Xiao Rui couldn't help but glance at each other and smiled bitterly, Li Ke came for Li Yong, needless to say, Li Taihe and Li Chengqian also came for Li Yong, now Li Yong is really hot, even the prince and the king of Wei rushed over in person, you know, these two people are the most promising princes to inherit the throne, Li Zhi, who is standing next to Li Yong and swallowing saliva, has long been ignored, no, he has been ignored.
"Big brother is also here, it's really lively today, I just listened to Li Yong's poem, so everyone laughed."
Li Tai explained with a smile, and Li Chengqian asked curiously.
"Li Yong's poems must be heirlooms, how can they make you laugh like this?"
Princess Yuzhang pursed her lips and said with a smile.
"Maybe this poem can really become a masterpiece and become a matter of great poet Li!"
"It's actually just Lang Jun's joke."
Li Lizhi hurriedly helped Li Yong explain, but Li Tai read Li Yong's poem again at this time, and Li Chengqian laughed when he heard it.
"Haha, I didn't expect the famous Huating Hou to have such a narrow time?"
Li Chengqian, who was smiling, looked at Li Yong and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
"What is this? Well, it smells so good! ”
Although Li Tai and Li Chengqian came and everyone saluted, Li Yong never forgot the most important thing, that is, roasted corn, although he didn't want to come to such a family gathering, but he couldn't lose his share when he came, so he must let these local buns taste it today.
