Volume 2: The Storm in Chang'an Chapter 120: It is not appropriate to grant a marriage at this time
Hearing Li Yanjun's request to enter the ironmaking workshop, Liu Laosan did not respond immediately. Instead, he glanced at Lu Chen and saw Lu Chen nodded slightly. Only then did Liu Laosan fully agree. After all, the blast furnace was still in operation.
It was a secret of Lujiazhuang. Although Lu Chen had never said that, after the first batch of iron was smelted in the blast furnace, Liu Laosan immediately decided not to tell the story about the blast furnace easily. At the same time, he also had no regard for the craftsmen working in the blast furnace.
A gag order was issued.
Lu Chen took Li Yanjun into the ironmaking workshop. As for the only ones who could accompany him in, Su Chang and Liu Jing were the only ones who could accompany him in. The others were blocked outside. Although Li Yanjun's guards felt that this was inappropriate,
After seeing Bei Weiwei's figure and receiving Li Yanjun's order, he obediently stayed outside the iron smelting workshop.
As soon as you entered the ironworks, a wave of heat hit your face. The craftsmen in the ironworks all wore linen jackets and linen trousers with their trouser legs rolled up high, and were sweating like rain while working.
Li Yanjun blushed immediately when she saw this scene. She had never seen so many shirtless and muscular men. Li Yanjun's face suddenly turned red: "Why is it like this here!"
"The temperature here is too high. They can't work without dressing like this! Moreover, if the molten iron comes out of the furnace later, the temperature will be even higher!" Lu Chen explained beside Li Yanjun.
"Oh! How long will it take for the molten iron to come out?" Li Yanjun nodded slightly, and then asked curiously.
"Lao Liu, how long will it take for it to come out?" Lu Chen turned to look at Liu Laosan and asked.
"After calculation, the Marquis and Your Highness came at the right time. The time for this furnace of molten iron will soon come!" Liu Laosan replied respectfully from the side.
"Then let's stand far away and take a look!" Lu Chen naturally took Li Yanjun's hand and stepped back. Lu Chen himself wanted to protect Li Yanjun. If the molten iron from the blast furnace came out, even if it collapsed and Li Yanjun was injured,
Even if Yan Jun was burned a little, it would still be a huge sin, so Lu Chen casually pulled Li Yanjun back.
Lu Chen didn't take it seriously, but Li Yanjun was shocked and thought to himself: "What can I do?" Li Yanjun's heart was like beating a drum, and the little deer was beating around. For rejecting Lu Chen, Li Yanjun's heart
He had no such idea and could only shyly let Lu Chen hold his hand and retreat.
As for Su Chang on the side, her eyes widened. Although the culture of the Tang Dynasty was very open, it was not so open that men could hold women's hands casually. There were still men and women who did not kiss each other, so Lu Chen grabbed Li Yan like this
Su Chang was a little confused by Jun's hand. This was okay. After all, regardless of whether Li Yanjun was a princess or not, or a girl from any family, you, a man, couldn't just hold a girl's hand.
, Su Chang was ready to stop it.
As a result, she was glared at by Li Yanjun. Su Chang immediately understood what was going on and could only stand behind with her neck curled up, pretending that she didn't see it! There weren't many people coming in anyway, so as long as she didn't say anything, it would be fine.
Soon the time came, and in the surprised eyes of Li Yanjun and Su Chang, the red molten iron in the blast furnace flowed out along the groove, and a billowing heat wave hit. Even if Lu Chen and others were standing far away, they couldn't stand it.
At this temperature, Lu Chen took Li Yanjun directly out of the iron smelting workshop.
"Your Highness, are you still interested in ironmaking?" Lu Chen asked with a smile, looking at Li Yanjun's red face.
Li Yanjun's face was not sure whether it was stimulated by the heat wave of molten iron or because he was holding Lu Chen's hand. Lu Chen said in a weak voice: "Marquis Lu, can you let go of my hand first?
"After saying that, Li Yanjun's face became even more rosy.
"Oh! Oh!" After being reminded by Li Yanjun, Lu Chen realized that he was still holding Li Yanjun's hand and quickly let go. "I'm offended! I'm offended!" Lu Chen quickly apologized to Li Yanjun.
, but Lu Chen felt very happy about the soft and boneless feeling in his hand just now.
"Marquis Lu County doesn't have to be like this. He who doesn't know is not guilty!" Li Yanjun said weakly. When Lu Chen let go of his hand, Li Yanjun still felt empty in his heart. Li Yanjun even cursed himself secretly in his heart.
The phrase "no shame".
"Is there anywhere else you want to go, Your Highness?" Lu Chen quickly changed the subject.
"If you stay outside the palace for too long, I will stay here soon. I will return to the palace now! Otherwise, Aye should be worried if it takes too long!" Li Yanjun also knew that he had stayed with Lu Chen for a long time.
He said goodbye to Lu Chen and returned to the palace. Although he felt a little reluctant to leave, Li Yanjun still had to return to the palace.
"Then I will respectfully send His Highness back to the palace!" Lu Chen sent Li Yanjun out of Lujiazhuang.
Li Yanjun looked back at Lu Chen deeply before getting on the carriage, and then he got on the carriage and headed for Chang'an City.
"Master Marquis, I'm afraid your Majesty will grant you a marriage soon!" At this moment, Du Yanliang, standing next to Lu Chen, said with a smile.
"Mr. Du, don't be ridiculous!" Lu Chen turned to look at Du Yanliang and said, "Now that I have just been reprimanded by His Majesty's decree, how can I grant you a marriage!"
"Yes! Yes! The little old man is so quick to speak!" How could Du Yanliang not understand the meaning of Lu Chen's words? It is obvious that the Marquis of his family is also very proud of Princess Langya.
Lu Chen and Du Yanliang chatted and returned to the mansion.
"Aye, my daughter feels that Yan Jun has a close relationship with the Marquis of Lu County!" Just when Lu Chen sent Li Yanjun away, Li Xiuning had already entered the palace and arrived at the Nuan Pavilion where Li Yuan was. At the same time, there were still people sitting in the Nuan Pavilion.
There are Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin.
There were only four of them in the entire Nuan Pavilion at this time. As for Chang Bao, he still stood guard outside the door of Nuan Pavilion, giving the four of them space to talk alone.
"Oh?" After hearing Li Xiuning's words, Li Yuan raised his eyebrows unconsciously, "Then Lu Chen doesn't have any displeasure?"
I don’t know why, but the majestic founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty was actually worried about what a prince thought of him. If this spread, the emperor’s majesty would be in danger of being ruined. Of course, this is also because of preconceptions. After all,
Lu Chen's current status as "the banished immortal to the mortal world" is deeply rooted in Li Yuan's heart.
"There is no dissatisfaction. He even wrote a poem for Yan Jun!" Li Jiancheng smiled and took a sip of tea. The Tie Guanyin he got from Lu Chen was deeply loved by Li Yuan. Of course, Li Yuaneng
Drinking Tieguanyin is also related to Li Jiancheng. Lu Chen gave Li Jiancheng a pound of Tieguanyin. Li Jiancheng naturally wanted to give some to himself to taste. Li Yuan drank it once and fell in love with this tea. In the end, Li Jiancheng made it
There were only two taels left, and the remaining eight taels were confiscated by Li Yuan.
"What poem?" Before Li Yuan could speak, Li Shimin, who was sitting on the other side, asked out of curiosity.
If outsiders saw such a harmonious scene between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, they would probably be shocked. After all, everyone outside knew that the Crown Prince and the King of Qin were already at loggerheads, so they almost took action directly. At this time, in the Nuan Pavilion
But he has the appearance of a loving father, a filial son, and respectful brothers and sisters.
Li Jiancheng was also unambiguous and directly read out the song "Qing Ping Diao" written by Lu Chen for Li Yanjun.
"Okay! Very good!" After listening to the song "Qing Ping Diao", Li Yuan was overjoyed. Obviously he was very satisfied with Lu Chen praising his daughter so much.
"I just don't know if that girl Yan Jun is willing or not?" Li Yuan asked Li Xiuning. After all, there are some things that are easier for sisters to communicate with each other.
"That girl is probably thinking about Marquis Lu Xian now! If she hasn't returned to the palace yet, she is staying with Marquis Lu Xian!" When Li Xiuning thought of the scene when she and Chai Shao left, she couldn't help but want to
laugh.
"How about my father arranges a marriage for the two of them?" Hearing what Li Xiuning said, Li Yuan felt at peace. He was afraid that his daughter would disagree and anger Lu Chen, which would be a great disadvantage to the Li family.
, of course, Li Yuan does not want his daughter to marry unhappy.
"Aye, I don't think it's appropriate to grant a marriage at this time!" Just as Li Yuan finished speaking, Li Shimin, who was sitting next to him, directly raised objections.
"Shimin, why do you say that?" After hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Jiancheng asked Li Shimin directly. Although the expression on his face did not change, his tone was somewhat unhappy. It was obvious that Li Shimin prevented Li Yanjun from getting married to Lu Chen.
I'm a little unhappy about this.
"Brother, don't worry yet!" Why doesn't Li Shimin know the character of his eldest brother? This eldest brother has been protecting these brothers and sisters since he was a child. If his eldest brother hadn't been ill and Sun Simiao said that his eldest brother was about to die soon, Li Shimin wouldn't have done it at all.
He agreed to Li Jiancheng's plan, but now seeing that Li Jiancheng was a little unhappy, Li Shimin quickly comforted his eldest brother, "Brother, I'm not trying to stop this marriage, but it's not appropriate for Aye to grant a marriage at this time!"
"Why do you say that?" After hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Yuan didn't quite understand what Li Shimin meant.
"Aye, you just issued an edict to reprimand the Marquis of Lu County, and at the same time issued a ban on the residence. Within a few days, you issued an edict to grant marriage. What do those aristocratic families think?" Li Shimin said with a serious expression, "Now Lu County is
The Hou family is at odds with the Wang family and the Wei family. If Aye had just reprimanded the Marquis of Lu County and immediately turned around and granted a marriage, it would inevitably make those aristocratic families think that we are on the side of the Marquis of Lu County!"
"The Marquis of Lu County said, let's act as planned. Aye's reprimand just now shows that the two of us are not helping each other. If we grant a marriage at this time..." Li Shimin did not continue talking at this point, because this sentence
Here, several people here will naturally understand the truth, and sometimes it is not necessary to say it clearly.
"Shimin, what you said makes sense, but if you don't grant the marriage, how will Yan Jun explain it?" Li Yuan said with a slight frown. After all, this matter is related to Li Yanjun's lifelong happiness, and it is also related to the relationship between the Li family and the Li family.
