Li Shen only spent one day doing business. The next step was to travel around and eat various delicacies under the leadership of Li You.
In later generations, Rongzhou was affiliated to Rong County, Yulin City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. It had outstanding people and rich products. Li Shen knew this because a famous figure, Yang Guifei, was born here.
In his previous life, Li Shen wanted to travel there, but he had time but no money, and when he had money, he didn't have time.
Now I finally got what I wanted,
The natural landscape here is beautiful, the mountains and rivers are spectacular, the creeks are crystal clear, and a sip of the mountain spring water is sweet and delicious.
Moreover, this place is indeed rich in beauties. They are gentle, spiritual, and sweet-looking. It is no exaggeration to say that all of them are beautiful and fragrant.
Even if Li Shen doesn't take a few of them back, it's still eye-catching to see them here. (If anyone follows me in this paragraph, be careful that your ancestral graves will be digged up for you.)
For several days, Li Shen had a great time playing and lingering. He also bought some local specialties.
"Tenth brother, I think you are not here to do business at all, you are just looking for an excuse to have fun." Li You joked at the dining table of the Governor's Mansion.
Li Shen ate the pangolin meat and said:
"I didn't say that I was here to do business. Fifth Brother, when did you hear that I came out to do business for the court and spent my own money?
I'm not that kind. Do you know how much it cost me to go out? "
Li Shen's words immediately silenced Li You. It is true that it would cost a lot for his brother to go out.
The gifts to myself amounted to more than 100,000 yuan, and the supplies to Rongzhou Prefecture were also valuable, not counting the transportation costs on the road.
And Li Shen's two thousand escorts cost more along the way, especially the horses.
"Fifth brother, have you made arrangements for Dang Renhong and the others?" Li Shen suddenly remembered Dang Renhong. When he entered the city, he threw them to the people of the governor's office and forgot about them.
"Everything has been arranged. Dang Renhong's family is isolated from other people. There shouldn't be any trouble, and Dang Renhong's attitude is very good.
He said that he knew that he was sorry for Aye, and Aye still saved him, so he planned to work hard here for the rest of his life. "Li You replied.
"Well, that's good. You should also make good use of the staff I brought you. I found this person to be a talent.
A good bird chooses a tree to roost in, and a good minister chooses his master to do his work. He should be able to assist you well. "Li Shen said again.
Li You nodded,
"By the way, I heard from the envoy to the court that the concubine in your house has given birth to a pair of young men and a young wife. The fifth brother has nothing to give you.
These are two pairs of anklets made by your sister-in-law for my nephews and nieces. I wish them peace and prosperity in their lives. "
Li You took the box from Webster and handed it to Li Shen.
Li Shen was not polite. He took it and opened it and looked at it. It should be made of pure gold and had some ornaments. There seemed to be something engraved on it, but Li Shen didn't look carefully.
"Then let me thank you, uncle, on their behalf, haha."
Li Shen accepted it happily, but his expression suddenly changed.
"Sure!" Li Shen shouted.
"What's wrong?" Li You became nervous when he saw Li Shen's look.
"I forgot about having children. Those two little guys are going to be a hundred days old soon. I don't seem to be able to go back." Li Shen said seriously.
"..." Li You and Wei Shi were both shocked. This King Ji must be too ambitious. He even forgot that he had an heir.
I still have a lot of fun playing here every day.
"Tenth brother, you... you are really..." Li You thought for a long time but couldn't think of any words to describe Li Shen.
"Fifth brother, isn't this my first time? I have no experience." Li Shen looked guilty.
Not long after the two children were born, he went south. There was an incident in the middle, and he stayed in Guangzhou for a while.
So he forgot that he had a child,
If Li You hadn't mentioned it today, he would have been planning to wander around.
"No, I have to go back, otherwise Aye will reprimand me again,
You don't know how sad my little brother is in Chang'an. He can't eat well, sleep well, or play well.
I still have to pay for court matters myself. "Li Shen complained.
Li You was unmoved. He had heard from the envoy to the court that Li Shen was domineering in Chang'an and no one dared to offend him. He enjoyed eating, drinking and having fun every day.
"Tenth brother, how many more days will you stay?" Li You asked.
"No, I've been playing for many days. I'll leave tomorrow." Li Shen's character is to do whatever comes to his mind.
"So urgent?"
"Fifth brother, there is nothing going on here. It's time for me to go back. There are still many things that haven't been done in the house."
After Li Shen finished speaking, Li You said no more. He knew that Prince Li Shen's palace had many properties, and as the head of the family, he could not stay outside for a long time.
The two exchanged cups, and the meal took an hour to finish.
The next day, Li Shen packed his bags early and prepared to set off.
At the city gate, Li You and officials from Rongzhou Prefecture came to see him off.
"Tenth brother, it's a long journey. I wish you a safe journey."
"Fifth brother, I also hope that you can make great achievements here. I will report everything here to Aye when I go back.
No matter what, I want to get you a duke.
Not only for you, but also for my nephew. "Li Shen said firmly.
This time he found that Li You had changed. He was much calmer and his youthfulness had faded away.
After Li Shen finished speaking, he stepped forward and hugged Li You, then turned around and got into the carriage.
There was a sound of a riding whip, and the carriage started to move slowly. Li Shen was lying at the window, waving goodbye to Li You.
Li You and his wife also waved their hands and watched Li Shen's carriage drift away and slowly disappear from sight.
Just like when Li Shen and the prince bid farewell to him, the sun cast a long shadow.
Li You knew that if nothing unexpected happened, he and Li Shen might never see each other again in this life.
Although he and Li Shen are not of the same mother, they both have Li Shimin's blood flowing in their bodies and are connected by blood.
The royal family is not ruthless, it's just their different status that makes them ruthless.
At this moment, Li Shen was sitting in the car, feeling a little reluctant. He and Li You had a lot of fun here these days, and they also had some sibling relationships.
But from now on they are on separate sides, thousands of miles apart,
At this time Wang Xuance came over on horseback. Wang Xuance had met Li Shen a few days ago.
"Your Majesty, there is always a banquet in the world, and we will have the opportunity to see you again in the future."
Wang Xuance saw that Li Shen was in a bad mood, and also knew why Li Shen was in a bad mood.
Their prince values emotions and is prone to sentimentality, which is one of the reasons why Wang Xuance is unwilling to leave Prince Ji's Mansion.
Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Although he will be high-ranking and well-paid, he will also be accompanied by intrigues.
Wherever it is like Prince Ji's Mansion, there is no intrigue, all the intrigues are against outsiders.
