The second wind rises in Chang'an Chapter 106 Lu Chen took the order
"The horse master's eyes are really sharp, and he found the key point at once!" Lu Chen said half-jokingly to Chai Shao, "This thing is called an iron furnace, and it burns charcoal in it, and it is used for heating in winter!" Lu Chen smiled and introduced to Chai Shao, and at the same time got up and invited Chai Shao to take a look at the structure of the iron furnace nearby.
Speaking of which, the structure of the iron stove is very simple, Chai Shao just looked at it, and he roughly understood the principle, and he knew that the charcoal was poisonous, and the iron stove designed by Lu Chen directly discharged the poisonous smoke to the outside of the house, greatly reducing the chance of poisoning.
"Go back and give me a few sets of them!" Chai Shao looked at the iron stove in front of him, a glint of envy appeared in his eyes, and he turned his head and said to Lu Chen.
"No problem, but the pig iron needs to be provided by the master himself, and there is also this processing fee!" Lu Chen rubbed his fingers directly at Chai Shao, "Brother, you also know that your brother is poor and white now, licking his face and asking Her Royal Highness the princess for these five hundred catties of pig iron, I don't know if it's enough!" Lu Chen directly turned on the grievance mode, "Moreover, this big business also has to eat, right?" ”
"It's nature!" Chai Shao didn't think there was anything wrong with Lu Chen's complaints, after all, Lu Chen had just taken over such a big Zhuangzi, and everything basically belonged to redevelopment, so Chai Shao agreed very simply, and even Chai Shao was annoyed in his heart, why didn't he think of providing some help to Lu Chen.
Just when Lu Chen and Chai Shao were gossiping and chatting, they heard a sharp voice outside shouting: "The holy decree has arrived!" ”
"What's that?" Hearing the words "the holy decree has arrived", Lu Chen and Chai Shao were stunned for a moment, and at the same time looked at each other, both of them were confused, and they didn't understand why the holy decree suddenly came.
"Brother, do you know that there will be a holy decree today?" Lu Chen looked at Chai Shao and asked with a puzzled expression.
"I don't know for my brother!" Hearing Lu Chen ask himself, Chai Shao was also a little confused, he hadn't heard of anything related to Lu Chen's holy decree recently, and recently in the court, few people mentioned Lu Chen's matter, after all, the incident in the Taiji Hall made Wang Qi and Wei Ting discouraged, and there were not many officials in the Wang family and the Wei family in the court, who would have nothing to mention such a faceless thing.
"Let's go out and have a look!" Since Chai Shao didn't hear any rumors, Lu Chen could only get up and go out with Chai Shao, and at the same time instructed Liu Jing to let people prepare the incense case for receiving the order, and the whole courtyard suddenly jumped for a while.
"You don't change your clothes?" Chai Shao pointed to the clothes on Lu Chen's body and reminded Lu Chen, the last time Lu Chen came to accept Zhuangzi was when he was just promoted to the Marquis of Chang'an County, at that time Lu Chen did not have Hou Ye clothes, and now Hou Ye clothes have been made and sent, so Lu Chen needs to wear Hou Ye clothes when he receives the order.
"Then I'll go change my clothes! It's time to trouble my brother to help me maneuver for a while! Hearing Chai Shao's reminder, although Lu Chen didn't care what the Holy Decree would say, he still had to give the other party respect, after all, it was the Holy Decree!
After Chai Shao nodded and agreed, Lu Chen turned around and walked towards the back house.
Chai Shao was stunned as soon as he came out of the door of Lu Chen's mansion, this battle is a bit wrong!
Because standing in front of Chai Shao was Li Jiancheng, the crown prince of the dynasty, while his daughter-in-law and another young woman were standing behind Li Shimin, and an attendant next to Li Shimin was holding the yellow scroll of the holy decree in his hand.
"Minister, Chai Shao, I've seen His Royal Highness the Prince!" Chai Shao was a little stunned, and hurriedly gave Li Jiancheng a salute, although the current state between the East Palace and Tiance Mansion is incompatible, but on the bright side, it is still passable.
"Wood and horses are exempt! Lu County Hou can be at home? Li Jiancheng looked at Chai Shao and asked.
"Lu Xianhou is changing clothes in the back house, and he should come out soon!" Chai Shao replied respectfully.
"Oh, if that's the case, then wait a little longer!" If other people dared to accept the decree like this, especially if Li Jiancheng came to announce the decree in person, I am afraid that they would have been cleaned up long ago, and Lu Chen actually let the prince and the two princesses wait for him outside.
At this time, the others had already set up the incense table in the courtyard, and stood quietly beside them, just waiting for Lu Chen, who had changed his clothes, to come out to receive the order.
The effort was not great, Lu Chen walked out in the back of the Hou Ye suit, pulling the collar of his shirt while walking, obviously his neck was not very comfortable by the collar of the Hou Ye suit.
"Oops! I've been waiting for you! Confess! Confess! As soon as Lu Chen walked into the courtyard, he saw a large group of people waiting for him, and hurriedly surrendered his hands to make amends, "Today's father-in-law is different?" Why don't you see Lin Lang's father-in-law? Lu Chen looked at Li Jiancheng and asked with a puzzled face.
And Lu Chen's question directly made Li Xiuning and Li Yanjun, who were standing behind Li Jiancheng, laugh, and Li Jiancheng, who was standing in front of Lu Chen, had a gloomy face, and all kinds of situations were thought of, such as Lu Chen's surprise when he saw him, or even an accident, but he didn't expect such a sentence to pop out of Lu Chen's mouth.
Li Jiancheng's cultivation and the city government are quite profound, and it can even be said to be modest and polite, but no matter how modest and polite a man is, it is difficult to accept being said to be a eunuch, so Li Jiancheng's face is not very good-looking, and at the same time, the corners of his mouth twitched twice, this guy is really out of common sense.
Is the python robe on his body so inconspicuous? Li Jiancheng couldn't help but look at the python robe on his body suspiciously.
"Lone is the crown prince!" Li Jiancheng sighed helplessly, looked at Lu Chen and said, after all, Lu Chen has never seen himself, and there is no precedent for the prince to announce the decree, so it is understandable that Lu Chen admitted that he was wrong! Li Jiancheng can only enlighten himself like this, after all, he still has to ask Lu Chen!
"Oops! It turned out to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince coming! As soon as Lu Chen heard that it was Li Jiancheng standing in front of him, Lu Chen hurriedly pretended to be surprised, "The minister mistakenly recognized His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as a eunuch who passed the decree, and he really deserved death!" Lu Chen bowed down to confess the crime, in fact, Lu Chen had already guessed who Li Jiancheng was when he saw the clothes on Li Jiancheng's body just now, Lu Chen deliberately adjusted Li Jiancheng, wanting to see if Li Jiancheng would be angry on the spot, and it could be regarded as Lu Chen's desire to preliminarily verify what he thought.
"He who does not know is not guilty! This time I came to announce the decree is also lonely, no wonder Lu Xianhou! The smile on Li Jiancheng's face is very kind, and it gives people a warm feeling when he looks at it, but the complexion on his face is mixed with a little unnatural morbidity, although Lu Chen is not proficient in medical skills, but his eyes are very vicious, and he can see at a glance that Li Jiancheng is not in good health.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your magnanimity!" Lu Chen gave up his hand again.
"Chang'an County Hou, Lu Chen, take the order!" Now that he has said that, it is time to get down to business, Li Jiancheng glanced at the waiter beside him, and the waiter unfolded the holy decree Huang Juan in his heart, and his sharp voice spread directly in the mansion.
"Minister, Lu Chen, take the order!" Lu Chen hurriedly retracted the laughing expression just now, and responded with a respectful expression.
The next chamberlain is to read out the holy decree, the content of the holy decree is very simple, basically it is to reprimand Lu Chen, saying that he broke Wang Biao's leg by private execution, which has a bad impact, and said that Lu Chen was too bold and reckless, but when he thought of the first offense, he was punished for three months behind closed doors and fined for one year.
"Thinking about it behind closed doors for three months? A one-year fine? Hearing the final punishment result, Lu Chen's eyes widened, it didn't matter if he thought about it for three months behind closed doors, Lu Chen's mind was all on Lujiazhuang for the time being, and he didn't have the intention of going out, but the fine for one year made Lu Chen a little unhappy, he didn't have much money when he just took over Lujiazhuang, but now he was fined for one year, which suddenly made Lu Chen feel worse.
Seeing the bitter gourd expression on Lu Chen's face, Li Jiancheng couldn't help but smile: "Lu Xianhou, still don't accept the order?" When Li Jiancheng said this, he thought of Lu Chen's previous statement that he was an internal servant, and suddenly there was a sense of pleasure as if he had succeeded in his prank.
"Minister, take the order!" Hearing Li Jiancheng remind himself, Lu Chen could only take the holy decree with a bitter face and helplessly.
"Lu Xianhou is not going to invite us in to sit down?" Li Jiancheng reminded Lu Chen again.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please!" Lu Chen hurriedly dodged and made a "please" gesture, but his face still looked uncomfortable and dying.
"Liu Jing, serve tea to all the adults, Ben Hou will go to the back to change clothes!" Lu Chen let everyone into the hall, and the thick warmth in the hall suddenly made Li Jiancheng and the others slightly surprised, and at this time Lu Chen had already walked to the back house.
Liu Jing had just served tea to Li Jiancheng and others, and when Li Jiancheng and the others had just picked up the teacup and were about to taste tea, they heard a wail from the back house: "My Yulu!" It's gone before it arrives! ”
Lu Chen's sudden voice directly startled Li Jiancheng, not only Li Jiancheng, but everyone else was also frightened by Lu Chen's sudden wail, especially Li Yanjun, who threw away the teacup in his hand.
"Hehe, don't laugh, Hou Ye Lu is such a temperament!" As a man commensurate with Lu Chen's brothers, Chai Shao hurriedly played a round, good guy, Lu Chen's voice was too sudden, if he really scared these dragon sons and dragon girls, it would be worth it.
"I didn't expect Hou Ye Lu to be distressed because of this matter!" Li Jiancheng took a sip of tea, and his eyes lit up suddenly, and Li Yanjun, the princess of Langya sitting next to him, also had bright eyes, they had never drunk Lu Chen's tea here, so after taking this sip, they immediately felt a taste that they had never felt before.
"Is this tea?" Looking at the tea leaves floating in the teacup, Li Jiancheng looked at Li Xiuning and asked with a puzzled face.
"This is Lu Houye's original tea, and it is said that it has a lot of effects!" Li Xiuning smiled and said to Li Jiancheng, but Li Xiuning was not surprised by Li Jiancheng's performance, after all, when she drank this kind of tea for the first time, her performance was not much better than Li Jiancheng.
