Chapter 187 Li De Award Treat
The next day, Lin Xuan found that Yu He was always looking at him secretly. As soon as he looked over, Yu He blushed and lowered her head.
Lin Xuan estimated that Chunyue should have told her what happened yesterday.
After all, he was a man, so after washing up as if nothing had happened, he went to the yard to practice martial arts.
"Lin Xuan, Lin Xuan, here we come!"
Lin Xuan was eating, and was stunned when he heard this voice.
Shouldn't Cheng Chumo be in the barracks?Why are you back?
It's not that they can't leave the barracks. Generally, officers above the school lieutenant have one day off every ten days when they have no missions during non-combat times.
Cheng Chumo and the others never came back because they wanted to share weal and woe with the soldiers.
Lin Xuan got up and walked to the door, and saw Cheng Chumo and five people.
Even Li Deju and Cheng Chuliang also came.
"Why are you back?" Lin Xuan asked.
Qin Huaidao said with a smile: "We came back last night. It was to prepare in advance for Princess Jinyang's full moon banquet."
Don't think that full moon wine is only available in later generations. There are many more birth rites for babies in ancient times than in later generations.
Ancient birth rites include "three dynasties", "full moon", "hundred days", "one year old" and so on. "Three Dynasties" means that the baby receives all kinds of congratulations on the third day of his birth. "Full Moon" shaves the baby's hair when the baby is one month old. During the "Hundred Days", the uncle recognition ceremony and naming ceremony are performed. At the time of "one year old", the Zhou ceremony is performed to predict the child's life fate and career.
It's just that patriarchal patriarchy was very serious in ancient times, and generally no one held it for daughters.
"Come in and talk." Lin Xuan said.
Since Lin Xuan welcomed him in, Cheng Chumo saw the deep-fried dough sticks on the table and immediately grabbed them and ate them.
"Exactly, I'm not full yet." Cheng Chumo said with a grin.
Li De and the others were not polite, and they also started to eat.
Lin Xuan said angrily: "Didn't you already teach your cook? You can't eat at home?"
Cheng Chumo said with a smile: "I don't know why, I always feel that my family's food is not as delicious as yours."
Lin Xuan is speechless, it is because my family does not need to spend money.
Lin Xuan ordered Chunyue and Yuhe to get more fried dough sticks and porridge.
Li Dezhen asked: "Can I let the cook at home also learn cooking skills?"
"No problem, all of you can send cooks to my house to learn." Lin Xuan said with a smile.
Stir-frying is no longer a secret, and it is all in the groping stage.
The taste is slightly stronger than that of Keyunlou, and it is not as good as the cooks in his family who are often taught by him.
"It's still early for Princess Jinyang's full moon banquet, why are you coming back so early?" Lin Xuan asked.
Except for Li Deju and Cheng Chuliang, everyone else is the eldest son of the family, and they will definitely go there.
Li Deju is now the earl, and Cheng Chuliang is the future son-in-law, that is to say, they will all go when the time comes.
It's just that there is still more than half a month before the full moon banquet, so what's the use of coming back so early.
Qin Huaidao said: "We have changed a lot during this period, so we will come back early, have someone measure it, and make clothes in advance."
"By the way, Lin Xuan, is your congratulatory gift ready?" Cheng Chumo asked.
Lin Xuan shook his head and said, "You all know the situation of my family. Apart from a lot of money, there is nothing else that can be sold. By the way, what kind of congratulatory gift did Uncle Cheng prepare?"
Cheng Chumo said proudly: "My father prepared red coral."
"Red Coral? Uncle Cheng has spent a lot of money this time." Lin Xuan was very surprised.
Red coral is an organic gemstone with pleasing color and lustrous texture. It grows in the deep sea 100 to 2000 meters away from human beings.Along with pearls and amber, it is listed as the three organic gemstones, and it is also listed as one of the seven treasures in the oriental Buddhist scriptures. It has been regarded as an auspicious thing since ancient times.
In later generations, red corals were sold by gram. In ancient times, due to backward technology, red corals were more difficult to obtain, so they were more precious.
Cheng Chu smiled silently and said, "Actually, it didn't cost much."
Lin Xuan curled his lips, didn't it cost much?I believe you are to blame.
Lin Xuan asked several other companies, and what Yu Chigong prepared was a luminous pearl.
Li Jing and Qin Qiong, due to various reasons, prepared congratulatory gifts, although they were not as good as Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong, they were rare treasures.
Lin Xuan has a headache, why are you giving such good things away?
If the mirror can be made, he doesn't have to worry about it.
Although the price of the mirror is far lower than that of red coral and night pearl, it was a rare item in ancient times, and it is more in line with the preferences of Empress Changsun.
Lin Xuan chatted with them until almost noon, and seeing that they had no intention of leaving, he ordered Chunyue and the others to prepare lunch.
"Wait, Lin Xuan won't eat at your house at noon today. Li De awarded this kid a knighthood, but he hasn't invited any guests yet. Let him invite him today." Cheng Chumo said.
Li Deju said nonchalantly: "Isn't it just a treat? You can choose whatever you like in Chang'an."
There are members of Zuixianlou in his family, and he is not short of money at all.
Because he was the second son and could not inherit the title of the family, Li Jing was more lenient towards him financially.
"Looking at you like this, why don't we contract out the entire Pingkangfang and let you spend money and money." Cheng Chumo said.
Li Dezheng said quickly: "No, can't I be wrong? Besides, Lin Xuan and Chu Liang are future son-in-laws, so it's not good to go to Pingkangfang."
Pingkang Fang gathered the brothels of the Changan Security Department. If they were all contracted out, it would not be enough to take the entire Dai Guogong Mansion into it.
"Haha~"
Seeing Li Deju's appearance, everyone burst into laughter.
Qin Huaidao said seriously: "The merit award and knighthood should indeed treat guests. The best restaurant in Chang'an is Keyunlou. Or go to Keyunlou."
Li Dezhen nodded quickly and said, "It's okay to go to the Keyun Tower, but today I'm treating you, Lin Xuan, you have to take the money."
Lin Xuan said with a smile: "You are willing to send money, why don't I accept it."
……
"Come on, let's all have a drink." Li Dezheng took the lead as the guest.
"it is good!"
Everyone raised their glasses and drank them all.
Cheng Chumo put down his glass and said, "Lin Xuan, we have already arranged for the formation of the Cuju team you mentioned. How is your stadium prepared?"
"The location of the stadium has been selected, and it can be built after a while. There is no rush. The Cuju team will go through a period of training. After you have finished training, the stadium will be almost ready." Lin Xuan said.
Li Deju asked: "Do you want to play Cuju?"
Cheng Chumo said: "Yes, but it's not the old cuju, it's a new style of cuju."
Cheng Chumo also told Li Deju about Lin Xuan's talk about organizing the competition and making money.
After listening to Li De, he said, "Lin Xuan, can you bring me one?"
Lin Xuan said with a smile: "Of course you want to meet, it's no problem, but I'm not sure if I can make money, you have to be prepared."
"It's okay, even if you lose money, it won't be much." Li Dejiang said indifferently.
Will Lin Xuan lose money?Li Deju didn't believe it at all.
Lin Xuan nodded and said, "That's fine, you form a Cuju team first, and I'll give you a copy of the training methods later."
Li Deju said gratefully, "Thank you very much."
Lin Xuan waved his hand and said, "You are welcome, but how much money will be spent on the construction of the stadium will be shared equally by everyone."
Li Deju said: "This is for sure."
"Lin Xuan, how much do I need to pay? Let me prepare first." Qin Huaidao asked.
Unlike the other families, the Qin family has the income from Zuixianlou and is not short of money.
His family doesn't have much money, and he needs to sell some things in advance.
"The matter of money is not urgent, and there is no way to calculate it now. I will put it on the back of it first. After the construction is completed, you can give it to me." Lin Xuan said.
Several people chatted while eating, and settled down on the matter of Cuju.
Cheng Chuliang saw that they had finished chatting, and said, "Brother Lin, do you still remember what you said last time?"
Lin Xuan was taken aback, and asked, "You're talking about outings?"
Cheng Chuliang nodded and said, "That's it."
Lin Xuan thought for a while and said, "Now is a good time for an outing. I can ask the princess out, but you have to agree to my request."
Empress Changsun is confinement now, how can she have the time to take care of Li Lizhi, this is a good opportunity.
Cheng Chuliang hurriedly asked, "What request?"
Lin Xuan squeezed his eyes brightly, and said, "I heard that accidents often happen to your cattle. I wonder if any of your cattle died of exhaustion during spring plowing recently?"
Cheng Chuliang understood what Lin Xuan meant, so he wanted to eat beef.
"Indeed, spring plowing is too hard, and a cow in my family died of exhaustion." Cheng Chuliang gritted his teeth and said.
He definitely didn't have the guts to kill the cow, so he had to go back and beg his father for this matter.
For Princess Qinghe, Cheng Chumo also went all out.
