The second wind rises in Chang'an Chapter 222 It's time to go to court
After sending Li Daozong and Li Xiaogong away, Lu Chen returned to the study and sat on the recliner, Lu Chen first looked forward to what the expressions of those civil and military officials and Li Yuan would be when they saw the treasure he offered tomorrow morning, and then stretched out his hand and unconsciously touched the sachet that Princess Li Yanjun of Langya gave him.
"That's right! I should have sent something to the princess too! Touching the sachet, Lu Chen suddenly remembered, he has been busy with things in Zhuangzi recently, and he actually ignored this Langya princess, when he thought of Li Yanjun's appearance, Lu Chen turned out to be so big and had a desire to protect, he used to protect others out of task requirements, and this was the first time that Lu Chen had a feeling of wanting to protect from the bottom of his heart.
"What to give?" Lu Chen was lying on the recliner, playing with the sachet in his hand, touching his chin and pondering, suddenly Lu Chen glanced at a bronze mirror on the cultural relics shelf in the study, Lu Chen suddenly came to inspiration, this era is all about copper mirrors and other things, it is better to give Her Royal Highness the princess a mirror!
However, Lu Chen pondered again in his heart, according to the ability of those craftsmen in Liulifang, I am afraid that it is still more difficult to make mirrors, not because mirrors are not easy to make, but the raw materials for making mirrors are not in Zhuangzi, but Zhuangzi can't do it, it doesn't mean that Lu Chen can't find it, go to the base to find it!
Lu Chen directly entered the base and began to look for the mirror, in fact, the mirror is easy to find, after all, there are also formal mirrors in the barracks, Lu Chen quickly removed the mirror in the barracks, and at the same time, Lu Chen also noticed some toiletries.
"These two things are not bad either!" Lu Chen saw the flower water and soap at a glance, as for cosmetics, I'm sorry, how can these big men in the base have that thing.
Lu Chen looked at the mirror in front of him, as well as the soap and toilet water, "I have to get one for Princess Pingyang!" Lu Chen thought of Li Xiuning, who trusted him when he first came to Datang, so he prepared another one for Li Xiuning.
In the next moment, Lu Chen returned to the study, and Lu Chen had two more mirrors by his side, as well as two sets of flower water and soap.
"Dog! Dog baby! Lu Chen opened the door of the study and shouted.
"Your Excellency!" As Lu Chen's voice came out, Liu Jing, who was staying in the courtyard wing, ran over.
"Go and call Xu Gaofeng and his son!" Lu Chen gave Liu Jing an order, and Liu Jing took the order and ran out of the cross-courtyard of the study.
The effort was not big, and Xu Gaofeng and his son followed Liu Jing over in a hurry.
"Grandpa!" Xu Gaofeng and his son came to Lu Chen to salute Lu Chen.
"No need to be polite! Can you make this thing? Ask for two! Lu Chen took out a piece of paper, on which was a set of dresser design drawings, but this thing was scribbled, after all, Lu Chen also drew a rough idea from memory, Lu Chen really didn't want to run to the base to flip through the book for such a thing.
"You can do it!" Xu Gaofeng recognized Lu Chen's drawings, "It's just that Grandpa, this should be a dresser, right?" Xu Gaofeng asked in a speculative tone.
"It's really a dresser, it's Ben Gong's design!" Lu Chen nodded and said.
"It's just Grandpa, what is the thing that looks like a wooden frame on this dresser?" Xu Gaofeng asked suspiciously, pointing to the position of the representative frame on the drawing.
"Oh! This is the frame, which is for the inlay of mirrors! Lu Chen said very indifferently, "You come with me!" Lu Chen said and took Xu Gaofeng into the study.
As soon as they entered the study, Xu Gaofeng's father and son and Liu Jing were stunned by the two mirrors that Lu Chen put on the desk, because they had never seen such a thing, they saw their faces in the mirror, and even the clothes on their bodies were clearly reflected by the mirror.
"Could it be that this is the mirror that Grandpa is talking about?" Xu Gaofeng pointed to the two mirrors with a shocked face and said.
"Hmmm! The frame on the dresser is for these two mirrors! Lu Chen nodded.
"How long will it take?" Lu Chen looked at Xu Gaofeng and asked.
"About three days!" Xu Gaofeng pondered for a while and said, he and his son changed shifts and took some nights, and there was no problem in building two dressers in about three days, and he could also find other carpenters to help build them, and he and his son could finally regulate the assembly.
"Alright, you guys can do your best to build this thing these days! Don't spread the word! This thing is very useful, you know? Lu Chen told Xu Gaofeng and his son.
"The villain saves!" Xu Gaofeng's father and son hurriedly responded solemnly.
"Then go ahead!" Lu Chen waved his hand, and Xu Gaofeng and his son directly retired.
The reason why Lu Chen asked Xu Gaofeng and his son to make these two dressers is because the father and son are both ink makers, and the craftsmanship must be better than those carpenters in Zhuangzi, and the other one, after understanding, this father and son are the most versatile talents among these ink makers, from carpentry work to other craft work, both father and son can be skillful, and Lu Chen is now also going to inspect the father and son, if they are qualified, then the father and son will be responsible for the "military factory" technology, and then the father and son will be Lu Chen's "military factory". "Technical Director".
After explaining the work, Lu Chen also left the study, as for the two mirrors in the study, Lu Chen still didn't believe that anyone in this mansion dared to enter his study casually.
Turning his head, before dawn, Lu Chen was awakened by a knock on the door, "Grandpa, it's time to go to court!" Su Chang's voice came from outside the door.
Su Chang, who was born in the inner palace, is obviously more familiar with the time of the last dynasty, so on the first day, Lu Chen told Su Chang to get up and go to the court the next day, and Su Chang obviously felt very strange that his grandfather was suddenly going to the court, but he didn't ask anything.
As Lu Chen opened the door, Su Chang led the maidservant girl in to serve Lu Chen to wash and change clothes, and had breakfast in the side hall, Lu Chen took Su Dingfang, Liu Jing and Feng Huai to Chang'an City.
At this time, the sky was still very dark, Feng Huai and Liu Jing sat on the mount on the left and right with lanterns, the word "Lu" was written on the lanterns, and behind them were Su Dingfang with several heavily armed back guards, each of whom was holding a torch in his hand, and Lu Chen's more than a dozen battles were clearly reflected.
Came to Chang'an City, just after Yin, the bell rang, the morning bell and dusk drum, the bell of Mao time means that the officials above the five grades in Chang'an City should go to the court, and at this time the city gate has been opened, the guards of the soldiers naturally recognize Lu Chen, the county prince of Chang'an, although these soldiers do not understand how Lu Chen will appear here at this time, but they should be released or released, Lu Chen took people directly through the city gate into Chang'an City.
At this time, Chang'an City was already a little lively, some shops had begun to remove the door panels and prepare to open the doors, and there were also small vendors on the street preparing stalls, Lu Chen led people straight to the imperial city.
When Lu Chen crossed Suzaku Street and came to the gate of the imperial city, there were already many officials waiting here, and when they saw Lu Chen bringing people here, these people were stunned, and even many people looked up at the sky, as if because of Lu Chen's sudden appearance, they wanted to determine whether it was a natural vision, or the direction of the sun rising, after all, it was a bit unexpected for them that Lu Chen could take the initiative to come to the court, mainly because every time Lu Chen went to the court, it was not good.
"Virtuous brother!" Seeing Lu Chen and his party appear, Chai Shao directly waved at Lu Chen and shouted.
"Brother Chai!" Seeing Chai Shao beckoning him, Lu Chen came to Chai Shao, grabbed the reins of the horse, turned over and got off the white fox, and greeted Chai Shao.
"Why did you come to court today?" Chai Shao glanced at those family officials with strange faces, and asked in a low voice beside Lu Chen.
"Brother Fool brought something good today! The plan is ready to be carried out! Lu Chen whispered in Chai Shao's ear.
"Oh?" As soon as he heard Lu Chen say that the plan was ready to be implemented, Chai Shao raised his eyebrows and knew what Lu Chen was talking about.
"Brother Fool hasn't thanked Brother Xian for the green vegetables! The day before yesterday, Her Royal Highness the princess was talking about you at home! Chai Shao said with a smug expression on his face.
"I wonder what Her Royal Highness the princess is talking about?" Lu Chen looked at Chai Shao's obscene look, and always felt that Chai Shao written in the history books was not the same person as the Chai Shao he knew.
"Xiu Ning said that you guy, since you came to Chang'an, you have been squatting in your village all day long, and you don't want to contact us people! Seeing that it is going to be the day of the Yuanzheng Dynasty, the virtuous brother is alone in this Chang'an, and His Royal Highness invites the virtuous brother to our house to be lively and lively together! Chai Shao said to Lu Chen with a smile.
"When the time comes, my father will definitely go to the virtuous brother's mansion to disturb him!" A warm current flowed in Lu Chen's heart, before he came to the Tang Dynasty, every Spring Festival, Lu Chen was alone in the house watching the fireworks outside the window, turning up the sound of the TV to the maximum, not that he liked the programs on TV, but he just hoped that the sound would be louder, and he could also make his home seem lively, and try to make himself forget the loneliness of a person, and after coming to the Tang Dynasty, this first Tang Dynasty Spring Festival, some people were afraid that he was single, and invited himself to celebrate the festival together, how not to make Lu Chen feel warm in his heart.
"When the time comes, the foolish brother will prepare a gift!" Lu Chen looked at Chai Shao and smiled.
"Brother Xian's gift must be fresh and rare again!" When Chai Shao heard that Lu Chen was going to give a gift again, his eyes couldn't help but light up, "That foolish brother will sweep the couch in the house to greet him when the time comes!" ”
As Lu Chen and Chai Shao were talking and chatting, a few bells rang in the palace, and these civil and military ministers who gathered together to chat in twos and threes stopped saying nothing after hearing the bells, but began to ask their subordinates to help tidy up their clothes, Lu Chen was no exception, this matter was naturally done by Liu Jing.
