Chapter 63: Peeping!
"Concubine Li?" Li Yuan asked in doubt.
He had no idea about Concubine Li and so on. Moreover, it has been so many years since the eighth year of Sui Daye. If he had the original memory of Li Yuan, he might have known it, but disappointingly, he knew nothing about this title.
Seeing that the Supreme Emperor showed confusion on his face, the store owner did not doubt it, but began to explain: "This Concubine Li is not favored. It is normal for the guest official to not know it. It has been decades. I only remember that her surname is Xiao, so I don't know anything about other things. I haven't told the people of the Ministry of Justice before, and I'm afraid of trouble. I've already told him, so... please don't blame me for the previous matter."
Li Yuan nodded and patted his shoulder, and said, "You are lucky today. I don't want to cure you. But don't say that the phoenix crown was made by your Liuji Gold and Silver Shop. After all, not everyone is as easy to talk to as someone."
"Thank you Kaien, thank you Kaien, we will never dare to do it again." The store owner breathed a sigh of relief.
From today on, who would dare to use the royal family as a signboard? If you hit a god, you will be in trouble.
After asking about the past of Yinzhang, Li Yuan found Li Chengqian again. His eldest grandson picked a few good-looking flower porchs, "When you get married, your emperor grandfather will prepare a big gift for you then."
He took the goldware with his hand and walked to the counter of the gold and silver shop to check out directly.
"Customer, there are 83 jin of qian, 5 jin of qian. Five jin of qian is erased, which is considered a red envelope for you to come to our store for the first time." The shopkeeper of the Jinyin Shop smiled respectfully.
His father just told him that these two were distinguished guests in the palace. And who else could there be other men in the palace besides their father-in-law?
"Just write it in a certain account, and I'll go to the Li clerk to get the money later." Li Yuan said.
Li's Trading Company is a business he established. The biggest part of the business involved is the perfume business and glass business, which everyone in Chang'an knows about.
But they never expected that the big boss behind the Li family business, which was bright on the surface, was the Supreme Emperor.
Although the Supreme Emperor invested a lot of profits in the construction of the medical school, the small profits that flowed out of his fingers were much richer than those of the prince Li Chengqian.
"Thank you, Grandpa," Li Chengqian said happily.
Although he is the prince, his monthly payment is limited. Although he doesn't have to worry about food and drink, he suddenly spends nearly 100 trump cards, which is still a little difficult.
The two of them bought the flowers and jewellery, such as Buyao, would be sent to Liuji Gold and Silver Shop. Later, they would send someone to the palace, and the door-to-door delivery service had already existed.
When the two walked out of the gold and silver shop, the Supreme Emperor took the lead and asked: "Chengqian, where is the Sudan family you mentioned? Grandpa Emperor takes you to see your fiancée openly."
"Didn't this mean that the two parties... cannot meet before the wedding?" Li Chengqian hesitated and hesitated.
"Then didn't you take a secret look at the distance before?" Li Yuan looked at the emperor's grandson in front of him. He didn't know this little thought.
Although the ancients said, "The orders of parents and the words of matchmakers."
The wedding was set by both parents, and it may be very undemocratic, but the man is not so resistant. As long as he looks can still pass... he doesn't mind. Even if he doesn't like it, he can still marry a concubine for a wealthy family. After all, there is almost no secular constraints on remarriage.
But in fact, the wife retrieved by the matchmaker's words was not decided by the husband's family. Su Jian's daughter married Li Chengqian and became the crown princess. If nothing unexpected happens, she will become the queen after she ascends the throne.
Even if Li Chengqian doesn't like the Crown Princess, it's not something he can decide.
If it were a concubine, Li Chengqian would definitely not be so concerned. Compared with his wife, his status would be much lower. Later generations talked about it as Su Dongpo once gave a concubine to his friend, and that concubine was still pregnant.
If nothing unexpected happens, the Crown Princess of Su Dan's daughter will accompany Li Chengqian for the rest of his life, and he will not be sad.
"With that being said, isn't it a bit too abrupt to visit Secretary Su's house rashly..." Li Chengqian said.
Su Dan, a former secretary secretary. Secretary secretary secretary: in charge of literature, classics and other matters.
"Who said that someone was going to visit him?" Li Yuan said a little disdainful: "He is a little secretary, and it's not my turn to do it. Besides, if you want to see it, do you have to enter his house?"
"What the emperor's intentions?" Li Chengqian was a little confused.
If you don’t go to Su Ya’s house, how can you think of his Crown Princess?
"Look at this, this is a telescope, which can see things within a thousand meters. It is actually a magical tool that must be taken for peeping. Just stand on the wall and look at it later." Li Yuan took out a monocular telescope from the drawer in the carriage.
Since the glass technology tree is lit up, the telescope is about to emerge.
However, since the current glass purity is still not high, the lenses of this telescope are polished.
"It's really amazing." Li Chengqian pulled the tube of the monocular telescope. After a short while, he roughly learned about some of the ways to use the telescope.
The monocular telescope given by the Emperor of the Supreme, the lenses are made of crystal, while the lens barrel is gilded and has reliefs on the surface. Just looking at the appearance, it feels very valuable.
He sat in the carriage, pulled open the curtains on one side, played with the monoculars, and observed the scenery on both sides of the street.
After a long time, he slapped his thighs and said, "Grandpa Emperor, if this telescope is used as a military service, then our Tang army will predict that the enemy will enter first and win every battle. When Chengqian returns to the palace later, he will write a memorial to his father..."
Now the opening of the Literature Museum of the fourth brother, King of Wei, Li Tai, is in full swing, and wise men from all over the country are coming. Although the eldest brother is also pleased with Li Tai's achievements, the various voices coming from his ears have made him more and more anxious. He must have some achievements to defeat Li Tai's limelight.
Not only for his elder brother, but also for Li Tai. Sometimes if you don’t want people to covet the delicacies on the dinner table, then you have to pick up a chopstick to prove that this is yours...
But the more Li Chengqian said, the more he felt something was wrong. What was the look of the Supreme Emperor looking at him? It seemed like he was mentally retarded... But there were no mentally retarded here?
Could it be that he is lonely? Impossible, Impossible, how could he be a fool so smart?
"..." Li Chengqian.
Well, it seems that he is really the mentally retarded.
"This telescope has been given to your father a long time ago, and the army has been secretly equipped." Li Yuan rolled his eyes. He didn't know the military purpose of the telescope. Occasionally giving his turtle son some small gifts can also eliminate the gap between the two.
Of course, his head is also very smart, and he would not foolishly say that he invented the telescope, but was entrusted to students in medical schools.
And although the telescope looks very complicated, it is not difficult to disassemble the telescope and copy it exactly the same. Therefore, only high-ranking officials in the army can be equipped to prevent the leak of information.
Besides, if it weren't for epoch-making guns or something, these small advantages were really not very conspicuous. He still remembered that the war between the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin Dynasty had more defeats than wins, and was completely crushed in the later period. Could it be that the red barbarian cannons were not good? Instead, the Later Jin Dynasty had long plundered the Ming craftsmen to create better guns and cannons...
Therefore, the Tang army looked down on all directions, relying on the excellent military source of the government system and the dividends of war. After winning the robbery, we will rely on military merits to divide the land and women. We are not the hard-working guard soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.
"Don't worry, I'm safe. I'll give you something when you get married, which will definitely make you look good." Li Yuan patted Li Chengqian on the shoulder and comforted him.
He couldn't forget that when he was in the Ministry of Justice, Li Chengqian was willing to draw his sword to confront his uncle Changsun Wuji for his sake.
If you have this grandson, what else can you ask for?
"Thank you, Chengqian, thank you, Grandpa Emperor." Li Chengqian was relieved. Not only did his emperor grandpa pick up poems, but he was also known as the saint of Taiqing, his great-grandpa, his great-grandpa... My apprentice...
No matter how you look at it, they are all reliable people.
Not long after, the carriage stopped, Li Chengqian shrank inside the carriage, looked up at the view of the street, and said timidly: "Grandpa Huang, this is Secretary Su's residence."
"Is this here?" Li Yuan glanced at the dazzling plaque "Su Mansion".
Although Su Ya was not very famous among the Shandong gentry and Guanlong nobles, he was also a talented man of generations and a scholarly family, second only to the good marriage of women of five surnames.
According to the speculation of the Supreme Emperor, it is possible that Li Shimin asked for marriage from five families, and then he might be rejected. The threshold for the five families and seven sects is much higher than that of the royal family.
Of course, if I am the real ancestor of the Li family, then no one can see it enough...
Unfortunately, the Li family in Longxi can only be traced back to Li Chong, the county magistrate of Longxi County, Qin State. Unlike the ancestor of the Wang family in Taiyuan, the crown prince of King Ling of Zhou, the Ji surname can be traced back to Emperor Huangdi of Xuanyuan...
How high are these five surnames? Just to give one example. Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty Li Zhi had to issue an imperial edict to prohibit the five surnames from marrying on their own. In the 12th year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin ordered Gao Shilian and others to re-revise the "Clan Chronicle", Cui Ganmin, a gentry from Shandong, was ranked first.
"Since we are peeping, what do you think of a carriage parked openly at the door of someone else's house?" Li Yuan said dissatisfied and hurriedly asked someone to walk around to the backyard of the Su Mansion.
"Grandpa, you are the Supreme Emperor, your status is noble. Peeping will damage your reputation. It is better to endure the worldly filthy words alone..."
After the carriage arrived at the backyard, Li Chengqian smiled, turned over and jumped out of the carriage, and said anxiously. After that, he ordered two eunuchs to lie down, and he stood on their backs and watched carefully.
"Chengqian, are you sure you won't let Grandpa look at your Crown Princess?" Li Yuan asked with a frown.
Li Chengqian lay on the wall again, and the telescope reached into the backyard. He was in a state of excitement. He didn't care about so much. He curled his lips and said, "It's Chengqian who married his wife, it's not Grandpa Emperor, you are old man. Besides, after marriage, Grandpa Emperor, you can see it, right?"
"Good boy, eat alone, and do not share things like peeping..." Li Yuan said in his heart. He glanced at him. There was no one else except a few guards, but the alley is relatively narrow and it is not easy to escape.
then......
The Supreme Emperor opened his throat and shouted: "Su Mansion is here, someone is peeping!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two teams of servants in blue clothes came out from both sides of the alley, holding wooden sticks and other objects, with fierce expressions. The leader was even more powerful. He glanced at the Supreme Emperor and said disdainfully: "What's wrong with the boss's age? Learning to peep in others. Just because of your outfit, you still want an old horse in the stable? Ambition is thousands of miles away? I'm afraid the martyrs will have ambitions in their old age..."
Li Yuan's face was a little embarrassed. Whether it was OK or not wasn't you a strong man. Besides, don't be so literary. Is the scholarly family so powerful?
He coughed dryly and pointed to Li Chengqian who was in a dilemma and jumped off. "It was him who peeped, not someone."
Li Chengqian: "..."
He suddenly felt like he wanted to cry but couldn't cry. He looked back and forth at the strong man and the Supreme Emperor, and sobbed: "Grandpa Emperor, are you cheating me again?"
The moment Li Chengqian turned his head, the strong man immediately recognized who this was, weighed the wooden stick in his hand, and said viciously: "Good boy is you again. Last time I saw you peeping at my lady, because I didn't care about the distance. This time I made me catch a ready-made one! No matter whether you are Grandpa Huang or Grandma Huang, if you don't remove your two tricks today, I will suffer a loss!"
When the left and right guards and eunuchs heard the words of Qizhaozi, their faces changed and they were about to draw their swords to take action. Seeing this, Li Chengqian quickly pressed his hand and signaled not to act rashly.
But the moment he spread his hands on the wall, he fell to the ground, rubbing his butt, and kept crying for pain.
This matter is big or small. Peeping at other people's backyards is not only corrupted by personal morality and despised by others, but also gets beaten to the government. But for Li Chengqian, it's a bit... quite thoughtful, at most it's a story of a meeting between mandarin ducks. Besides... Li Chengqian is also the dignified prince of the Tang Dynasty. Although it is embarrassing to make this move, no one dares to punish the momentum here.
So Li Chengqian felt that this was just a prank by his grandfather. He would just apologize to his future father-in-law in a while, and it was nothing.
But the facts proved that he was thinking too much. Li Yuan, who was beside him, shook his head and sighed: "The world is bright, but the world is getting worse. This hero, I just saw this little brother peeping at your backyard, so I stood up and spoke for justice. Just now, this little brother was muttering something, saying something about a woman with 28 skin, skin is like cream, body is like supporting willows, and her beauty is enough to eat...
Wow, my conscience is really bad."
"Grandpa Emperor, Cheng Qian... didn't you just let you see it? There is..." Li Cheng Qian said with a wry smile.
But before he finished his second half of the sentence, he was immediately interrupted by Li Yuan. He snorted coldly: "What emperor grandpa, do you look like a person with children in my Taoist robe? And what are you talking about bathing just now? What are you talking about? What are you talking about? How do you say about bathing?"
"Bath, okay, boy!" The strong man's face became more and more unkind.
"This hero, I have always hated evil and hate these slutty people who destroy the innocence of good women in my life. I personally tied him up and asked your head to examine it!" After Li Yuan said that, he bowed and easily used the grappling technique to easily knock Li Chengqian back both hands.
Li Chengqian was about to say something, but when he saw the blinking eyes of the Supreme Emperor, he immediately understood what it meant. He hung his head helplessly and was disappointed...
