Ananda Zhang's shock
Although Li Shimin's words were very plain, they were no less than a thunderbolt on a sunny day in Li Tai's ears.
At this time, he finally knew why his father paid so much attention to the matter of asking the young eunuch to make furniture.
It turned out that he had inadvertently delayed Li Zhi's gift to his father.
At this moment, Li Tai didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly got up and knelt down to the side and said: "Father's forgiveness, Erchen really doesn't know that he has delayed his father's use, and no one has ever mentioned this matter to Erchen." ”
Li Shimin said to Li Tai: "This matter is not a big deal in the first place, if what you need is really urgent, it doesn't hurt for the emperor to wait." ”
Speaking of this, Li Shimin suddenly raised his voice a little, and the expression on his face immediately turned to anger.
I only heard him continue: "But it is really a pity that a little butler in your mansion dares to use your name to openly command the three rank masters in the court. ”
After Li Tai heard this, the cold sweat on his face immediately broke out.
Of course, his father's words have already decided the life and death of the housekeeper, but at the same time, why is he not beating himself with this?
It was only at this moment that he really figured out why his Lao Tzu asked him to eat together.
It turned out that his own men had caused trouble outside.
Li Tai knew that he couldn't open his mouth to excuse the butler today, otherwise he would probably lose his father's favor immediately.
Thinking of this, he immediately pretended to be indignant and said to Li Shimin: "Father, don't worry, after the son goes back, he will immediately beat that dog and man to death, so that he will not go outside to damage the reputation of the son again." ”
After listening to Li Tai's words, Li Shimin looked at him deeply before waving his hand and said: "I don't care about other things, I just hope that you can restrain the subordinates in the mansion and don't let them develop a pampered atmosphere." ”
After Li Tai listened to Li Shimin's words, he kowtowed again and again.
Li Shimin said impatiently: "Okay, let's stop this matter, you get up to eat first." ”
This meal Li Tai can be said to be really unpleasant.
Li Shimin vaguely ordered him several times at the dinner table, telling him not to be too high-profile.
While pretending to be humble, he secretly thought to himself what gift Li Zhi wanted to give to his father.
At this time, he had already regarded Li Zhi as a great threat, so he had been secretly paying attention to Li Zhi's performance throughout the dinner.
However, what disappointed him was that Li Zhi had been eating quietly from beginning to end, and he didn't say a few words until the end of the meal.
The first thing Li Tai did when he returned to the Yue Wangfu was to let people deal with the housekeeper in a high-profile manner.
Although it is not a big deal for him to deal with a little butler at all.
But since this involves his own Lao Tzu, he needs to come out with an attitude.
On the side of the Shaofu Supervisor, Pei Bandushu, who was originally anxious about not being able to complete the furniture of the Yue Wangfu in time, was stunned when he received the message relayed by Zhang Ananda.
His political acumen is not comparable to a half-sized kid like Li Tai, and almost instantly he thought that there would definitely be a shadow of Li Zhi in this.
So he quietly pulled Zhang Ananda aside, and asked in a slightly nervous whisper while quietly handing over a string of copper coins: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin has offended King Yue for this matter?" ”
Zhang Ananda first stretched out his hand to block the copper coin handed over by Pei Kuanshu, and then patted his hand and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty didn't mention how you learned about this." ”
After hearing this, the expression on Pei Bandshu's face relaxed a little, but at the same time, the hand that was handed out did not take it back.
He stubbornly stuffed the money into Zhang Ananda's hand and sighed: "That's good, as the saying goes, the king of Hades is good at seeing little ghosts, and this housekeeper in the Yue Wang's mansion has caused trouble for His Royal Highness the Yue King!" ”
Zhang Ananda said with a cold smile while putting the copper coin into his sleeve pocket: "I'm afraid that the little ghost who gave you a headache has really gone to see Lord Yama at this moment!" ”
After listening to Zhang Ananda's words, Pei Kuanshu said "ah" and said, "How can this matter make Your Majesty so angry? ”
Zhang Ananda said: "Just because that dog thing delayed the gift from His Royal Highness the King of Jin to His Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Jin was unhappy for several days, and when His Majesty asked yesterday, he cried a handful of snot and tears, and I felt distressed when I saw it." ”
After hearing this, Pei Bandshu nodded and said, "Don't say it, His Royal Highness the King of Jin has really put a lot of thought into this matter." ”
Speaking of this, he motioned to Zhang Ananda to follow him to the set of tables and chairs designed by Li Zhi for Li Shimin.
Pei Kuanshu pointed to the table and chair that had just been spliced and said, "Mr. Zhang, take a look, will Your Majesty like this kind of table and chair when you see it?" ”
Zhang Ananda looked at the tables and chairs in front of him that had not yet had time to be carved and colored, and was attracted by this novel shape at first sight.
Although it is still only a prototype, the overall parts and outlines have been fully assembled.
Pei Kuanshu personally demonstrated the function of the desk in front of Zhang Ananda, and the biggest highlight was the very practical small drawers.
Although Datang has now begun to popularize paper, most of the folds and dossiers are still made of hard yellow paper or rice paper.
These small drawers can be used to separate different papers for Li Shimin to access at any time.
In addition, although the top of the desk is huge, it is not made into a regular rectangle, but the side facing the chair is deliberately curved.
In this way, when Li Shimin wants to reach the items on both sides of the table, he does not have to lean hard, as long as he straightens his arms.
After introducing the table, Pei Kuanshu asked Zhang Ananda to observe the wide chair again.
The back, upper, and armrests on both sides are wrapped in carefully tanned cowhide.
Pei Kuanshu said to Ananda Zhang: "Manager Zhang can feel that this chair is soft to sit on. ”
Of course, Zhang Ananda didn't dare to sit on it directly, but he still couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, and carefully reached out and pressed it.
What he didn't expect was that after his hand was pressed on it, he actually sank straight down, and he didn't feel the presence of a liner underneath.
So he couldn't help but increase his strength a little, and then he felt the bottom plank.
Zhang Ananda couldn't help but ask Pei Bandunshu in surprise: "Eunuch Pei, what kind of strange things are used here, how can they be so soft and comfortable?" ”
Pei Bandshu said with a smile: "Where is a strange thing, it's just some duck fluff in it." ”
After listening to Pei Bandshu's explanation, Zhang Anan said with a sigh on his face: "The craftsmen in the Shaofu Prison are really whimsical, and they can actually make such practical tables and chairs. ”
After listening to Ananda Zhang's praise, Pei Bandshu immediately shook his head in shame and said, "Chief Manager Zhang, this is to promote our Shaofu Supervisor, this novel idea was conceived by His Royal Highness the King of Jin himself." ”
After Pei Kuanshu's words were finished, Zhang Ananda was taken aback, he couldn't help but raise his voice and asked, "You said that all this is His Royal Highness the King of Jin's own masterpieces?" ”
