After saying hello to Cui Chenggui, Li Chongrun wanted to go to the construction site to investigate.
The entire courtyard of Lao Chen's house is now like an archaeological excavation site. Dozens of civilians are shouting slogans and digging hard. However, there is a faint sound of metal and stone as the tools collide with the clods of soil.
"Your Highness, the soil here is hard and has been roasted by yesterday's fire all night. Now it is like bricks and stones. If you want to open it and see it, I'm afraid it will take some time."
Cui Chenggui was wearing a bamboo hat crookedly, and his body was covered with dirt. He was directing the civilian workers to dig along the entrance of the tunnel as if they were removing a lid.
"Then why don't you just get in and take a look?" Li Chongrun asked curiously.
"Master Di came here to investigate before. After a night of burning, poisonous miasma spread all over the place. He tried several times with chickens and ducks, but they all died when they got in. There was no other way, so he called in the civilians to use this crude benzene method to burn the poisonous miasma from top to bottom.
I’ll talk about it after I open all the ones I downloaded.”
Cui Chenggui pointed to a few figures wearing linen prison uniforms in the middle of the construction site, and said to Li Chongrun with a mysterious face: "Those are well-known local masters, who have just been taken out of the Dali Temple prison. With them here, even if they are
Even a large stone tomb can be cleaned for you."
Li Chongrun looked at the tomb robbers and found that they looked like ordinary farmers, but the tools used in his hands were a little bit special. They were made of iron sheets rolled into a C shape, and when they were flying up and down, large pieces of
Tufang was taken out of the ground, and a few people were even more efficient than the dozens of other civilian workers.
"Your Majesty, it's so noisy here, why don't you go and have a meal first. Master Di has already prepared food and drinks at Hongfa Restaurant. When there is any news, I will let you know. Do you think so?"
Li Chongrun also felt that this kind of archaeological site was far less exciting than he imagined. The Hongfa Restaurant was the restaurant where the small building was before. Before the opening of his Grand View Garden, it had always been the number one restaurant in the city.
Li Chongrun just heard the news about Wu Zetian yesterday, and he felt a little resistant when he heard that he was going to the restaurant of Jianchang King Wu Youning today.
But now that Di Renjie has gone, I can't say anything. Besides, I haven't gone to the small building to meet Wang Rong in the past few days. If I don't go to say hello, I'm afraid he will break his mouth again.
In desperation, Li Chongrun had no choice but to lead his two followers and slowly walked towards the small building.
"I rarely see you out and about. What have you learned from Qiniang?" The little girl named Gongsun is about the same size as Li Chongrun, but her hands and feet are quite long, and she is still at the age of drawing a strip.
She is very thin. The left sideburn has been shaved off, and the remaining hair is tied into small braids and then into a big ponytail on the top of the head. It is actually a Turkic hairstyle.
"The Art of Killing."
"Tch, I haven't learned kung fu yet, but the airs of such a master are quite impressive." Li Chongrun curled his lips, remembering that the other boys and girls had names, like this little stick named Gongsun, because he has been learning skills from Qiniang.
But he never gave him a name. "What was your name before? I can't just call you Gongsun all the time."
"A country boy doesn't have a name. Before the accident, he was nicknamed Aniang."
A Niang means little girl. Li Chongrun lamented that this nickname is really casual.
"Let's come up with a name. After you finish your studies, you will have to follow me. It's not a good birthright."
"Your Majesty gave me the name. I am very grateful."
"Do we have to speak in four words? You are not Qu Yuan."
"OK."
"You should just say it in four words. Two words feels too perfunctory."
"Your Majesty has your destiny, don't dare to disobey it."
Li Chongrun circled around the little girl Gongsun twice, and finally his perspective fell on the red boots under her feet: "Then let's call her Gongsun Lan, the name sounds domineering."
"I dare not refuse the name given by the prince, thank you Alan." After saying that, Gongsun Lan knelt down on one knee and gave Li Chongrun a warrior salute, and then stood behind Li Chongrun. Although he still looked like a master, his eyes were filled with joy.
But gradually it can no longer be concealed.
"It's just that your name is too domineering. Where can I find Lu Xiaofeng to be your husband?"
During the chat, several people had already arrived in front of the Hongfa Restaurant. Li Chongrun shook his head and said something they didn't understand, and walked in under Zhike's greeting.
It's noon now, it's time to eat. On the stage in the middle of the restaurant, several Anxi Nu are dancing in a circle. Amidst the noise of music and people, Li Chongrun is led up to the second floor by Zhike.
In a guest room on the second floor facing the stage, two Qianniu guards in green robes were guarding the door. They saluted Li Chongrun, but reached out to block Gongsun Lan from the door.
"The master has a destiny, and the man is there and the sword is there."
Gongsun Lan was a little angry, holding the big sword on his back with his right hand, looking like he would get angry at any time.
"Let her come in. The King of Linzi will become our uncle in the future. Do you still dare to wear small shoes with him?" A lazy voice sounded from the room, making people feel sleepy.
When Li Chongrun entered the room, he saw an old-style Eight Immortals table. A man with delicate features and a touch of femininity was sitting opposite Di Renjie, looking at him with a smile. "Li Chongrun has met King Jianchang. He has met Lord Di."
Li Chongrun sighed with emotion, Prince Jianchang was indeed very handsome, he even looked like a stuttering little detective in Tang Dynasty. No wonder Aunt Shangguan said that his girl would be good-looking.
"Brother Run, you don't have to be so polite. Just call me uncle. We are all one family, don't call us brothers." Prince Wu Youning of Jianchang was rumored to be kind and humble. When Li Chongrun met him today, he found that he was indeed well-deserved.
.
Although he spoke in a slow tone, the lazy look on his face paired with his slender eyes that were always smiling gave people a strong sense of intimacy as the big brother next door.
"Uncle, you have your destiny, and you just have to obey."
While they were talking, a waiter brought a few dishes, which were nothing more than some seasonal fresh vegetables and fruits. The wine was also very ordinary physalis. There was only one fish fillet, which was considered a hard dish.
"Originally, when I saw you for the first time, I should have prepared more good rice and vegetables, but I guess you couldn't muster up the energy to eat when you saw me today, so my uncle just ordered some cheap rice and vegetables. Brother Run, don't take it personally.
.”
"You two are bickering, but I'm really here to eat." Di Renjie started bickering when he saw the two of them meeting. It was a bit strange, but it was rare for him to come out to smooth things over.
"What my uncle said is true. Come here and bring a fat chicken to Mr. Di."
"Uncle, I think you know what your Majesty means?" Li Chongrun guessed what this handsome prince, who is known for amassing money, was thinking, but he was a little surprised why he called Uncle Di Renjie. Could it be that he knew Mrs. Di?
"Yes. But before the ugly words come to mind, I don't like you. So if I don't agree to this marriage, don't even think about it."
Wu Youning took a glass of wine and spoke to Li Chongrun slowly, but still glanced vaguely at Di Renjie, as if asking for his opinion.
"Jinshi of Chongrun Thirteenth Middle School, who in history can do such a thing? Even though such a good son-in-law is a little fatter, King Jianchang is still not satisfied?"
"It has nothing to do with his literary talent. I just don't like his temperament."
"I hope my uncle will give me some advice." Although Li Chongrun doesn't like this marriage either, but it's one thing after another. If you say I can't do it, that's another matter.
"It's easy to get by, not ambitious, a woman's kindness, greedy for money and lust."
Wu Youning put it very bluntly, "I don't have any ambition at all on weekdays. I'm just kicking and moving like a urine bubble. If our girl gets married like this, I'm afraid she will suffer a lot more in the future, and I won't be willing to bear it."
"Uncle, I just accepted what you said. You said that I am greedy for money and lustful. Isn't it a bit too much?" Li Chongrun was shocked, thinking that King Jianchang looked like he couldn't wake up and looked at people with real eyes.
It's accurate. It's just that I have never had much contact with this King Jianchang, how can he see through people's hearts?
