The second wind rises in Chang'an Chapter 406 The Day of Nacai
was asked by Lu Chen with such a smile on his face, and Kong Yingda was stunned directly!
It's not that Lu Chen's words are out of line, but Lu Chen's words are a little poked at the lungs, whether those businessmen have wealth in their hands, yes, but who do they compare with, if they are compared with those people and the small people, they must be much richer, but if they really want to compare with those thousand-year-old clans and family valves, I am afraid it is not even a dime.
Don't talk about others, let's just say that the Confucian family where the Shenghou Kong Yingda is located, this is the first family of the millennium, no matter which dynasty or generation, this Confucian family is an unfailing existence, and the wealth is comparable to those businessmen!
The front two sleeves are breezy, and the hands behind the back are coppery?
I don't know why, being asked by Lu Chen like this, Kong Yingda suddenly popped up with such a sentence in his mind.
"Master, in my opinion, this merchant misled the country, which is improper jurisdiction, but it is not the merchant's own sin! Master, what do you think? Lu Chen saw that Kong Yingda's expression changed, and he didn't answer his words, Lu Chen said with a smile directly.
"Alas!" When Lu Chen said this again, Kong Yingda sighed directly, "When Lu Xiangong said this, the old man didn't know how to respond for a while!" Kong Yingda said with a wry smile.
"Master, everything must have a reason for its existence, as long as it does not exceed one degree, it can develop in a good direction, and if it is too much, it will be a disaster!" Lu Chen got up and said to Kong Yingda, "I hope that the master will think twice and say goodbye!" ”
"Then the old man is not far away!" Seeing that Lu Chen said goodbye to him again, Kong Yingda got up and arched his hand at Lu Chen and said, "On the day of Nacai, you can send someone to inform the old man to accompany the grandfather!" Kong Yingda sent Lu Chen out of the front hall.
"Then there is a husband!" Lu Chen said to Kong Yingda, and then took Liu Jing and Feng Huai and left Kong Yingda's Shenghou Mansion under the guidance of the housekeeper.
Looking at Lu Chen's departing back, Kong Yingda sighed again, and he didn't know if it was because he didn't convince Lu Chen, or because he sighed because of Lu Chen's words, so I don't know.
After Lu Chen returned to Lujiazhuang with Liu Jing and Feng Huai, he found Du Yanliang and asked Du Yanliang to prepare the basic gifts, as for what else to give in addition to these, Lu Chen had to figure it out by himself.
On the sixth day of February, it is advisable to take a spot.
This day is also the day when the Taishi Bureau has a prison king.
On this day, Lu Chen finished grooming early, had breakfast, changed into a brand-new grandfather's clothes, and set off for Chang'an City with Liu Jing and Feng Huai, as well as more than ten back guards, and two carriages.
After entering Chang'an City, Lu Chen went straight to the imperial city, as for Kong Yingda, Lu Chen had already sent Liu Jing to visit again with his own gifts yesterday, and agreed to meet at the gate of the imperial city today.
When Lu Chen came to the imperial city with people, he saw that Kong Yingda's carriage was already waiting here, as for Kong Yingda, he should not have seen it, he should be resting in the carriage.
However, just when Lu Chen led people to approach, Kong Yingda's carriage curtain was lifted, and Kong Yingda walked down from the carriage with the support of the servant.
"I have waited for a long time, and I hope that the master will forgive his sins!" Lu Chen turned over and dismounted, and smiled at Kong Yingda.
"Lu Xiangong doesn't have to be polite, the old man has just arrived for a while!" Kong Yingda waved at Lu Chen and smiled, and at the same time glanced at the two carriages behind Lu Chen, "It seems that the county prince has prepared a lot of gifts!" Looking at the carriage covered by the tarpaulin, Kong Yingda teased Lu Chen.
"Where! Where! Hearing Kong Yingda's ridicule, Lu Chen waved his hand again and again, "It's not strange to have many people!" This isn't the first time I've taken a pick! Be prepared and feel at ease! Lu Chen explained with a smile.
"The first time?" Hearing Lu Chen's words, Kong Yingda's two eyebrows couldn't help but raise slightly, "It seems that the county prince still wants to marry a few more rooms?" I'm afraid that you can't help it! Kong Yingda laughed and teased Lu Chen.
If it is an ordinary family, you say that it is possible to get three wives and four concubines, you are marrying a princess, whether you can take a concubine, then it depends on whether the princess lets you let it, if it is a good-tempered princess, you get an outer room, at most you will turn a blind eye, if you have a bad temper, let alone the outer room, I am afraid that the horse can be killed!
"It's just a slip of the tongue! It's not too early, can we go in? Lu Chen laughed dryly twice, diverted the topic, Kong Yingda stroked his beard and nodded, and accompanied Lu Chen to the city gate.
It is a well-known thing in the palace that Lu Chen will come to perform the gift of Nacai today, so the forbidden army guarding the door is just a routine inspection, and then let the attendants who have been waiting here for a long time take Lu Chen and Kong Yingda to the palace.
Before leading the chamberlain to bring Lu Chen and Kong Yingda to a palace, he saw Chang Bao waiting here.
"Report to Governor Chang, Chang'an County Gong, Lu Chen, Xu Shenghou, Kong Yingda, it's here!" The little chamberlain reported to Chang Bao after the salute.
"Let's go down!" After getting the report from the little chamberlain, Chang Bao nodded and waved his hand at the little chamberlain, and after the little chamberlain saluted again, he left without looking back.
After Lu Chen, Kong Yingda and Chang Bao saluted each other, "Congratulations to Lu County!" Chang Bao said with a smile on his face and said to Lu Chen.
"Thank you, Governor Tsune!" Lu Chen saluted Chang Bao in return.
"Duke Lu County, Marquis Kong, please wait a while, our family will go and show Your Majesty and the two have arrived!" After Chang Bao finished speaking at the two of them, he quickly stepped into the hall where the word "Zhaode" was hung.
About tea time, Chang Bao walked out of the hall quickly, and bowed his hand to the two again: "Your Majesty has sent the two into the hall!" ”
"There's a Governor of Laochang!" Lu Chen and Kong Yingda said politely to Chang Bao, and then followed Chang Bao and walked into the main hall.
"Minister, Lu Chen (Kong Yingda), meet Your Majesty, meet the concubine!" Entering the main hall, Lu Chen found that not only Li Yuan was sitting in front of him, but also Wan Guifei was sitting beside Li Yuan.
After the death of Queen Dou, this Wan Guifei is the head of the harem, and now Li Yuan has married Lu Chen and Li Yanjun, and Queen Dou is not there, Wan Guifei will replace Queen Dou to complete this gift.
"Excuse me!" Li Yuan looked at Lu Chen and Kong Yingda, who gave him a gift, and said loudly.
"Today is the day of Nacai, I don't know if Lu Aiqing's gift of Nacai can be ready?" Although Li Yuan was looking at Lu Chen, he asked Kong Yingda what he said.
"Your Majesty, this is the gift list of Lu County Gongcai!" Kong Yingda took out a fold directly from the sleeve cage and presented it directly to Chang Bao on the side with both hands.
Chang Bao took the fold, walked directly to Li Yuan, and presented it to Li Yuan with both hands.
Li Yuan stretched out his hand and took the fold, opened it directly and looked at it, the front was naturally those ordinary things according to the regulations, but when he saw the back, Li Yuan's two eyebrows couldn't help but rise, because there were many things written on it, many of which he had never heard of, and as for a few of them, they were a little vague.
"Hmm!" Li Yuan nodded, and handed the gift list fold to Wan Guifei on the side, Wan Guifei looked at the fold, and the more she looked at it, the more confused she became.
"Lu Xiangong!" Wan Guifei looked at the gift list and directly called Lu Chen.
"The minister is here!" Lu Chen replied respectfully.
"What do you think of the 'soap' and 'perfume' written on them?" Wan Guifei looked at Lu Chen very curiously and asked.
"Qi Guifei, this soap is for bathing, this perfume can repel mosquitoes and insects, and add body fragrance!" Lu Chen bowed his hand and replied.
"Oh? And these items? As soon as she heard Lu Chen's brief explanation, Concubine Wan's eyes couldn't help but light up.
"Indeed!" Lu Chen nodded directly in response, "There is no basis for words, seeing is believing, I implore you to demonstrate the use of these two items for Your Majesty and the concubine!" Lu Chen looked directly at Li Yuan and pleaded.
"Nonsense!" Hearing Lu Chen's expression demonstrate the usage, Li Yuan directly thought that what Lu Chen said just now was a "bath" product, isn't this! Could it be that the entire bathtub can't let Lu Chen take a bath in this hall? "Do you still want to bathe in my palace?" Li Yuan looked at Lu Chen and asked in a deep voice, and at the same time, his face was a little unsightly.
"Bathing?" Hearing Li Yuan's rhetorical question, Lu Chen immediately understood that Li Yuan obviously misunderstood himself, but Lu Chen also understood that he didn't make his words clear, and said directly to Li Yuan, "Your Majesty is afraid that he misunderstood the minister, and the bathing thing that the minister said is just one of the functions of this soap, not that the soap can only be used for bathing!" ”
Hearing Lu Chen's explanation, Li Yuan's face looked a little better, and at the same time he turned his head to look at Wan Guifei, obviously asking Wan Guifei's opinion, Wan Guifei naturally wanted to see what the effect of the novel items Lu Chen made, "Your Majesty, why don't you let Lu County Gong demonstrate?" Wan Guifei asked Li Yuan softly.
"Since Concubine Ai agrees, then I will allow this kid to demonstrate!" Li Yuan nodded, but when he looked at Lu Chen, he still glared at Lu Chen, obviously complaining that Lu Chen had misunderstood, and at the same time, he also blamed Lu Chen for being unconscious.
"Please also ask Governor Chang to prepare a basin of water for Zaixia, and notify Liu Jing outside!" Seeing that Li Yuan agreed to the demonstration, as for Li Yuan's eyes, Lu Chen directly chose to ignore it, and at the same time said to Chang Bao on the side.
Chang Bao nodded, and directly ordered the other chamberlains, and the two little chamberlains ran out of the palace quickly.
The effort was not great, and an inner attendant with a copper basin walked in from outside the hall, and at the same time, Liu Jing, who was holding a small wooden box, also followed the inner attendant into the main hall.
"Meet Your Majesty, Meet the Concubine!" After Liu Jing put down the wooden box, he directly greeted Li Yuan and Wan Guifei.
"Excuse me!" Li Yuan waved his hand and said casually.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After getting Li Yuan's approval, Liu Jing straightened up.
