Datang: Salted fish at the beginning, Gao Yang was given marriage by Li Er

Chapter 119

Li House.

In the past, the mansion was sparsely populated, but today it is full of cars and horses.

Fangfu and Changsun's residence also sent two boxes of gold and silver under the banner of apology.The acquainted veteran prepared a congratulatory gift, saying it was to congratulate Li Xian loudly.

Some unnamed courtiers also joined in, declaring themselves as family members and bringing out precious jade to play with.

The red-haired girl stood at the gate of the mansion, and greeted the servants who came to give gifts with a smile, but she couldn't match the enthusiasm of these servants, and she accepted some tokens.

After sending away these servants and calling them to reject the worshipers, they asked the servants to carry these congratulatory gifts and build a house independently, waiting for a chance to pay back.

Chinese people value courtesy and reciprocity, and Hong Fu Nu understands that.

Her husband, Li Jing, was usually not sociable, and the reason why these courtiers were so polite was because of Li Xian's success this time.

With a smile on her face, as she shuttled among the smiling domestic servants holding the gift box, the red-haired girl took a quick step and headed for the north room.

Inside the open door, father and son sit at a square table.

Li Jing had lingering fears in his heart, he was not very happy about Li Xian's promotion, and even heard the excited chatter of the servants in the front yard, instead he felt a little bit worried.

After a long silence, he looked at Li Xian, who was lying comfortably halfway across the way, and expressed his worries.

"Xian'er, it's surprising that you have made outstanding achievements this time."

With rustling steps, she stepped on the floor in front of the house, Hong Fu Nu carried the gurgling tea brewed in front of the door, and stepped over the threshold, she probably heard Li Jing's words,
Looking at Li Jing, who looked a little dignified, he said with a smile.

"Xian'er has always been idle, but he is not one of those sensual playboys who hang out in restaurants and teahouses in the capital."

"Great wisdom like a fool, a blockbuster, really scared my father and mother before."

There were three pottery bowls on the square table, poured three bowls of slightly thick tea, and pushed it in front of the two of them.

The son is promising, Hong Fu's face is naturally bright, and she looks at Li Xian with kindness in her eyes.

"A Niang, a woman, and Taoists know very little about the court, but now that you are sitting on the position of a scholar in the Imperial Academy, you have to devote yourself to the people. If you have this talent, don't hide it."

"Benefiting the people of one side, don't be as idle and carefree as before. At least you can't sit on a vegetarian meal and let other ministers look at you in the eyes."

Li Jing touched the hot pottery bowl, withdrew his hand, his face was gloomy, staring at the steaming white tea bowl, he seemed dazed for a while, and opened his mouth slowly.

"The Hanlin bachelor is no more enshrined than the Hanlin. He drafted His Majesty's edict, and he can be regarded as His Majesty's confidant."

"His Majesty specially approves Xian'er to assist Nong Sang, and has some taint with Sinong Temple. I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction with some veteran officials of the household department."

"Although Xian'er has shown great talent for the first time this time, after all, the group of students in the academy who have read the books of sages are all heroes from various states and counties. How can they give in so easily?"

Looking away from the teacup with floating pepper and orange peel, he looked at Li Xian.

"Xian'er, the four words "heavy responsibilities and long way to go" are not just words."

"Although what your aunt said is reasonable, it is dangerous and involves relationships. I'm afraid you can't control it yet."

"According to my father, the starting point is too high, and it is easy to fall too badly. Do you understand the meaning of it?"

Looking away from the space between the two loving parents, Li Xian raised the corners of his lips, his face relaxed and freehand.

"The child understands what father and mother said."

"In Li Xian's mind, it doesn't matter where the official worships. For example, what should be taught to the prince and should not be taught to the prince, Li Xian is clear in his heart."

"It's the same in the Great Tang Dynasty where the prosperous age is emerging. The people in the imperial city have ample food and clothing, live and work in peace and contentment, and the court is full of talented people. Why do I, Li Xian, go to give advice."

Habitually pinching the teacup in front of him, Li Xian frowned when he saw the rich floating objects in it.

In the Tang Dynasty, no one named Lu Yu was born this time, and most of the tea can only be called soup, and it is relatively thick, so it is not an exaggeration to say that it is tea.

Pushing away the teacup in front of him with his fingers, Li Xian spoke again.

"My father and mother also know my temperament from time to time. I am used to being lazy. I am definitely not used to working on civil files all day long."

"In fact, Li Xian doesn't do much. When it's convenient for him, he can spread it casually and benefit the general public."

"Just like this tea, Li Xian wants to make a tea with a clear color and a mellow aroma. A sip of it can make people feel refreshed and refreshed. The so-called cabbage and radish have their own preferences, and those who need it can take it themselves."

What he said was cryptic, but it was in line with Li Xian's heart, not fighting for the world, not for fame and fortune, Li Jing was also slightly relieved.

Thinking of this kid's next catastrophe, although it was a near-miss, but still a little scared when thinking about it, Li Jing immediately opened his mouth.

"You'd better think so."

"But now, after all, you are a Hanlin scholar, and you are too lazy to justify it. My father doesn't care about those weird things, but I'm just an official. Don't let people step on your handle."

"Right now, do you have a plan?"

Li Xian let out a long breath, looked at the tea in the cup, and pondered for a moment.

"Cheng Chumo's method of making salt is certainly good, but the things involved are not easy to use."

"Let's talk about the current cooking utensils, but some pottery and bronze. The capacity is too small. When they are cooked and placed in the entire disaster area, they are just a drop in the bucket."

"I have to make a large-caliber iron pot. This iron pot needs iron ore, and the workshop smelts molten iron. If ordinary firewood is used for calcination, not to mention the huge consumption, and the desired temperature cannot be reached. The coal must be mined... "

Li Jing and Hong Fu Nu heard that Li Xian's words were clear and logical, but they felt overwhelmed.

He waved his hand to stop Li Xian, who was fingering at the side, and Li Jing felt uncomfortable for a while.

"Let's put the matter of the iron mine aside for now. The Changsun Yi clan has been in control of the Tang Dynasty's iron smelting for some years. The country's weapons and coin production are all under its jurisdiction."

"If being a father can help, then just ask Xian'er."

"Based on Dad's old face, there can be some friendship."

The crow turned into a phoenix, Li Jing was very happy in his heart, so naturally he took the lead to cheer for his son.

"Father needs to come forward there! That kid Cheng Chumo took the credit for our Li family, so he should do such a small matter by himself!"

Thinking of making salt, Li Xian thought of Cheng Chumo with disgust.

"Obviously I want that kid to deliver the secret formula to his stomach, and to do it alone, so he can find an excuse to join the administrative barracks."

"I never thought that this kid would actually expose me, and I don't know if this kid is really stupid or fake."

Suck.

Taking a sip of strong tea into his mouth, Li Jing smashed his mouth.

"Cheng's eldest son has good military strength and good conduct. He is a seedling and can be friends with each other."

"This kid has a strong temper, and he had some conflicts with Li Ji's eldest son on the long street before, so Li Ji has been worried about this over the years, and consciously or unconsciously suppressed it."

"The Jinwu Guard is an idle job after all. Since he is determined to make progress, he can mention it to His Majesty as a father. This will also make you a few best friends in your future official career, and it will be smooth and smooth."

Li Xian was a little surprised that the unsociable Li Jing could say these words.

"Father still understands this?"

Li Jing, who was imagining the future, suddenly suffocated and glared at Li Xian.

"Take some detours on this road for my father, this time I will teach you!"

"Not on the road!"
