"Chi yo chi yo~!"
"Hmm~! Whoever wants to embarrass me, just let him say it. I just need to eat comfortably~! Well, you can help me serve a bowl of porridge!"
A bowl of porridge with pickles. Li Tai finished it quickly. He touched his round belly and gave instructions to Xiao He next to him.
Almost everyone in the Li family knew Li Tai, a regular customer. Hearing such an unceremonious order, Xiao He rolled his eyes, but still took the empty bowl and went to fill it with rice.
Li Zexuan glanced at Li Tai's "chubby" figure worriedly and said, "Qingque, with your size, is it...?"
"Is it something? What's wrong with my body shape?"
Li Tai looked down at his waist and legs and said innocently.
"emmmm, I want to say, Qingque, should you consider losing weight~?"
"You think I don't want to! But the feeling of being hungry is worse than killing me, so I'll just go on like this!"
Li Tai rubbed his head in annoyance and said depressedly.
Li Zexuan sighed and said helplessly: "You should be more careful, kid. Being too fat is not a good thing for your health after all!"
"Okay, okay, I got it! Xiaoxuan, you are really long-winded!"
Li Tai waved his hand impatiently and said.
At this moment, Xiao He brought a bowl of gruel to Li Tai. Li Tai ignored Li Zexuan and concentrated on enjoying his second breakfast.
Li Zexuan shook his head, stopped persuading, and took out the empty bowl. Unlike Li Tai, a foodie, he was already full.
.............................
"Hiccup~!"
"Xiaoxuan, let's go! I'm afraid the construction site has already started~!"
Li Tai had already eaten breakfast in the morning, but he ate three more bowls of porridge at Li Zexuan's place. He really could only carry as much food as his belly had.
"Well, Qingque, you go ahead~! I still have to arrange some things~!"
Li Zexuan looked up at the rising sun in the east, thought for a while and said.
"What are the arrangements~?"
Li Tai thought Li Zexuan was going to be lazy, so he came over and asked.
"Look at Qingque, it's only three quarters of the hour (7:45 modern time), and the sun is already so strong. You can imagine how hot the weather is today, and it's even more unbearable on the cloud mountains. I We have to arrange for someone to buy a batch of things to relieve the heat, otherwise the craftsmen and civilians will suffer from heatstroke!"
Li Zexuan said seriously.
The Li family has a lot of ice. Li Zexuan is not afraid of the hot weather, but the more than 10,000 civilians must be afraid!
With the medical conditions of this era, heatstroke would be life-threatening. Before, Sanbao had heatstroke while helping him test the telegraph machine. It was only a lucky chance that he saved a small life from the Lord of Hell.
"Hmm~! What Xiaoxuan said makes sense~! By the way, don't you have a lot of ice cubes at home~? You can help me bring some ice cubes over later!"
Thinking of the scorching heat yesterday afternoon, Li Tai was also frightened, and he said quickly.
"Okay~! But don't you want to share the joys and sorrows with your men? You used ice cubes, what about the members of your eighth team~? First of all, I don't have that much ice cubes at home!"
Li Zexuan looked at the little fat man and said with a half-smile.
"Um, that's right~!"
Li Tai scratched his head depressedly and said: "Then Xiaoxuan, how do you plan to help craftsmen and civilians relieve the heat~?"
Li Zexuan thought for a while and said: "It's just cold melon and black bean soup. And from this point of view, the people will definitely not be allowed to start work for more than an hour at noon!"
Cold melon is watermelon. There was no such name as watermelon in this era. According to historical records, it had been introduced to the southeastern coastal areas of my country five generations ago. However, it was not called watermelon. Instead, it was called cold melon because of its cold nature and antipyretic properties.
As for the bean, it is the modern mung bean. Its cultivation in China has a long history, which can be traced back to the Han Dynasty.
"Okay, let's do it! If other people can bear it, then it's definitely okay for me. I'm going to the construction site first!"
Li Tai waved his hand and went out to Yunshan with his royal guards.
Li Zexuan called Wang Zhong and asked him to take people to the East Market to purchase a batch of watermelons and mung beans. Then the concierge Ah Fu came over and said, "Master, I have your letter!"
"Who sent it~?"
Li Zexuan asked with a frown.
"It was sent here by people from Xiao Mansion."
Ah Fu bowed.
"Xiao Mansion~?"
Li Zexuan was even more confused. He didn't know many people named Xiao in Chang'an City!
It was useless to ask any more questions, so he directly opened the letter and read it.
But after reading it, Li Zexuan's expression became even weirder.
This is a letter written by Xiao Yu to him. The important thing is not this. The important thing is that Xiao Yu wrote the letter to ask for the fairy mirror for his grandson!
Li Zexuan was really confused. What the hell is this?
Xiao Yu, as the former Pavilion Elder and current Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, is a proper boss in the court! I wrote this letter just to ask for a mirror. Could it be that today is April Fool’s Day~?
Li Zexuan twitched his mouth slightly and said to Wang Zhong who had not yet had time to leave:
"Uncle Wang, go ask shopkeeper Sun to send three little fairy mirrors to Xiao Ge's hometown!"
"Ah~?"
Wang Zhong's eyes widened and he suspected that he heard wrongly.
"What's wrong~?"
"Ah, no, no, no, no, young master, I'm going to say hello to Shopkeeper Sun right now!"
Wang Zhong came to his senses and quickly raised his hands and said.
Li Zexuan nodded with understanding. He was still a little confused now!
.............................
Inside the Tai Chi Hall.
Xiao Yu, who was going to court in the morning, also felt a little depressed. He was not willing to write that letter!
I think that Xiao Yu was a wise man in the literary world, but in the end he risked his face to beg for a mirror for his grandson. I guess if outsiders knew about it, there would be no room for his face.
That's right, Xiao Shouye is Xiao Yu's eldest grandson.
So it’s not okay for him not to write this letter, because his grandson is still pointing out that this cheating god, oh, is the fairy mirror of the cheating master to marry a wife!
But with his status, it would definitely not be appropriate to come to ask for the fairy mirror in person. After much deliberation, Xiao Yu felt that it would be more appropriate to write a letter to say hello to Li Zexuan, thinking that Li Zexuan would also give him this face.
"Meng'er, are you relieved now? Grandpa will come forward in person, so there will definitely be no problem!"
In the Xiao family courtyard, Xiao Shouye and Miss Meng'er smiled flatteringly.
"But what if Grandpa Xiao can't do it even if he comes forward?"
Meng'er frowned and said.
"Hey, that's impossible. Which minister in the court today would not give my grandfather face? Even the Holy One... well, even the Holy One cares about my grandfather very much!"
Xiao Shouye was not stupid enough. He knew that some things could be said and some things could not be said, so he quickly stopped the second half of the sentence and changed his words.
"Yeah, that's right. I'll let you go this time! Hee hee~!"
