Chapter 577 Gui Ning
Early the next morning, Lin Xuan finished his martial arts practice and had breakfast with Li Lizhi. Feeling that it was almost time, the two packed up and went to the palace.
Under the sunlight, the twelve golden pigs are shining golden, which is very eye-catching.
Entering Chang'an City, many people saw those golden pigs with their mouths open.
"Are all these pigs made of gold?"
"Impossible, such a big pig, how much gold is worth twelve?"
"How is it impossible? You don't even look at who this is? This is the Marquis of Jingyang County, who is known as the richest man in the Tang Dynasty."
A skinny man in his 40s said with some envy, "A marquis, where did you get so much money, it must be the people's anointing."
An old man in his 60s next to him was furious when he heard the words, glared at the middle-aged man and said, "Young man, if you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. The Marquis of Jingyang County runs a lot of businesses, but the things that are useful to the common people are more valuable than others." Other people's cheap. Not to mention, those soaps used to be used by nobles, not to mention common people, and they have never seen them before, but now, they only cost two cents each. There are also books, which we used to use I can’t afford to go bankrupt, but now I usually save a little, and I can still buy some for my children and grandchildren.”
The old man's grandson is now studying and knows a lot of words. Every time he thinks of this, he is very happy. When he hears someone slandering Lin Xuan, he is naturally angry.
"Yes, even if the books and paper are more expensive, people still buy them. Now because of the low price, the supply is in short supply, and the price has not increased. We have all benefited from the Hou of Jingyang County. If you speak ill of the Hou , don’t blame us for being rude to you.”
"That's right, the Marquis of Jingyang County relies on Liuli and Immortal Drunk to make money. They specialize in earning money from honorable families. They have the ability to make money, and they can spend it as they please. Do you need to slander them here?"
The middle-aged man's words made everyone furious.
For the low-level people in ancient times, reading was a luxury for them. Lin Xuan made it possible for their children and grandchildren to read. Regardless of whether anyone in the family reads, they are all grateful to Lin Xuan, because at least they have the opportunity now.
Seeing that the crowd was outraged, the middle-aged man didn't dare to say anything, turned around and disappeared into the crowd, and walked away dejectedly.
Lin Xuan didn't know that he almost caused a conflict because of his swaggering.
If he knew, he would just smile and not care.
Many people are jealous of others who have higher power, money, and fame.
Didn't he also feel inexplicably happy when he saw those rich people have accidents in his previous life?
This is human nature, nothing to care about.
At the gate of the palace, Lin Xuan dismounted, came to the side of the carriage, and helped Li Lizhi down.
Li Chengqian was waiting at the gate of the palace. When he saw Lin Xuan coming, he greeted him and said with a smile, "Zichu, you are a bit late. Cheng Chuliang and Changsun Chong have been here for a while."
"I see His Royal Highness the Prince."
"Lizhi has met the emperor's brother."
Lin Xuan and Li Lizhi both bowed and saluted.
Before Li Lizhi was not married, she could be more casual when meeting Li Chengqian.
Now that she is married, she is not only a princess but also the daughter-in-law of the Lin family. In the future, the Lin family will be the most important thing, so naturally she can't be too casual.
Li Chengqian looked at the two of them, and said helplessly, "Lizhi and Zichu are all in the same family, do they really have to be separated like this?"
Li Li smiled and said: "Brother Prince, this is not birth, it is etiquette. In private, I will still call you Brother Prince."
Li Chengqian smiled and said: "That's right, let's go in, don't keep father, queen, and queen waiting."
"Come here, bring up the gift from the son-in-law."
Lin Xuan and the others can enter the palace, but those who carry gifts cannot enter, they can only be handed over to the people in the palace to carry them in.
"Is this the gift you brought?"
When Li Chengqian saw the gift brought by Lin Xuan, he was shocked.
He knew that Lin Xuan was rich, but he couldn't do this even if he was rich.
Chang Sun Chong and Cheng Chuliang gave a lot of messy gifts, but Lin Xuan's was very simple, only twelve golden pigs.
Ordinary people may wonder if it is made of brass, but Li Chengqian has often been exposed to gold, and he can tell at a glance that it is real gold.
Lin Xuan said with a smile: "Your Highness, I don't have much heritage in my family, and I can't get out rare treasures, but I still have some money, so I can only send a little gold."
Li Chengqian: …
You call that a little?
Looking at the size of the twelve golden pigs, they must weigh at least a thousand catties.
How much does this cost.
Don't look at him as a prince, but in fact, he has never seen so much money.
When Li Shimin was poor in the past, the cost of the East Palace was also reduced. Although it has recovered now, but there are so many people in the East Palace, he still needs to win over some people, and he has to calculate the usual money.
Seeing Lin Xuan's generosity now, he felt the urge to ask Lin Xuan to borrow some money.
"Let's go, let's go first." Li Chengqian said weakly.
The palace is so big, the emperor, queen and prince can sit in sedan chairs in the palace.
Of course, some specially approved by Li Shimin are also acceptable.
For example, Li Tai, because of his obesity, Li Shimin felt sorry for him and allowed him to sit in a sedan chair in the palace.
Lin Xuan and Li Lizhi didn't have this kind of treatment, so Li Chengqian didn't ask someone to bring a sedan chair over to walk with them.
"Father and queen are waiting in the Lizheng Hall, and several uncles have also arrived." Li Chengqian said.
The Uncle Wang he was talking about was Li Daozong, Li Xiaogong and others.
As for Li Yuan's other sons, they were all afraid of Li Shimin.
And Li Shimin didn't have any feelings for them, and they were usually sent to fief when they were adults, and those who stayed in Chang'an were all minors, and Li Shimin didn't call them over.
When they came to the Lizheng Hall, Li Chengqian led the two of them in without anyone notifying him.
As for gifts, they can only be placed outside, and it is enough to present the gift list.
When Lin Xuan went back, he had to return half of it, and then he could put it into storage.
"The sons and ministers refer to the father and mother."
"I see Your Majesty, Empress."
Lin Xuan and Li Lizhi saluted.
A normal son-in-law would definitely change his words, but Princess Shang didn't have to.
Empress Changsun looked a little excited when she looked at Li Lizhi, who looked like an adult woman with her hair up.
Although it was only two or three days, she felt that a long time had passed.
Knowing that as a princess, no one would dare to make Li Li angry, she was still worried.
Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Excuse me."
"Your Majesty, this is the minister's gift list." Lin Xuan said holding the gift list in both hands.
Li Mu stepped forward to take the gift list and gave it to Li Shimin.
When Li Shimin saw the items on the gift list, his pupils dilated and his mouth opened slightly, looking surprised.
He had read the gift lists of Cheng Chuliang and Chang Sun Chong just now.
Cheng Chuliang was only the second son, and the gift he prepared was quite satisfactory.
Chang Sun Chong's gift was very generous.
But the gift lists of both of them are long strings, while Lin Xuan's gift list has only one line.
There are twelve golden pigs.
Seeing Li Shimin's appearance, Cheng Chuliang and his wife, who were sitting on the side, were a little surprised and wondered why Li Shimin showed such an expression.
But Changsun Chong and Princess Gao Yang were overjoyed.
They had discussed before that the Lin family had insufficient background. Although they are now lords, they were just merchants in the past, and they had nothing to sell at all.
Therefore, Changsun Chong pestered Changsun Wuji and increased the original gift by a few percent.
Just to hit Lin Xuan in the face.
Lin Xuan married the eldest princess, while he married the concubine's princess.
It would be a shame if Lin Xuan's gift was not as good as his.
