Chapter 232 Give money

"Uncles, please come inside!" Lin Xuan greeted.

Cheng Yaojin laughed, and said: "Your house is not bad, I have never seen this kind of style."

"Uncle Cheng praised it absurdly. Su Guogong's mansion is much more magnificent than this." Lin Xuan laughed.

He is not flattering, the architectural style of Jiangnan gardens is elegant, and has nothing to do with style.

Su Guogong's mansion covers an area of ​​nearly [-] mu, and the entire Chang'an City is really not much compared to it.

"Haha, it's still you who can talk." Cheng Yaojin patted Lin Xuan's shoulder, very satisfied with Lin Xuan's words.

Yu Chigong curled his lips and said, "My husband's family is no worse than his."

Although Yu Chigong and Li Shimin were not as early as Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong.

But when the Xuanwumen changed, he personally killed Li Yuanji.

It even forced Li Yuan to issue an edict to quickly calm down the resisting army.

After Li Shimin ascended the throne, his rewards were no worse than those of Cheng Yaojin and others.

However, he later claimed his merits and offended Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others.

Seeing that they were at odds, Li Shimin transferred him away from Chang'an.

But after Lin Xuan got acquainted with Yu Chigong, he found that he was not the kind of arrogant person.

What Yu Chigong did back then was probably intentionally offending someone and showing it to Li Shimin.

From the point of view of many things, Li Shimin did not alienate him because of the previous incident.

These people have been struggling for so many years, and each one is getting better and better.

If he was thinking about what the history books said, no matter how tolerant Li Shimin was, Yu Chigong would have died long ago.

Seeing that they were starting to quarrel, Qin Qiong said quickly: "Look at what day it is today, it's not embarrassing."

Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin have known each other since childhood, and although Yu Chigong and Qin Qiong met on the battlefield, they both respect Qin Qiong very much.

Seeing that Qin Qiong had spoken, Cheng Yaojin and the two of them smiled coyly, not daring to quarrel anymore.

"My father is not very knowledgeable, so please greet the uncles a little more." Lin Xuan said, clasping his fists.

His family is sparse, and Lin Dongyang was just a merchant before, and he must be a little worse in terms of receiving people and things.

Lin Xuan had no choice but to trouble Cheng Yaojin and the others.

"Zichu, just feel free to welcome guests here, we will watch for you inside." Qin Qiong said.

welcome?

Lin Xuan was a little speechless, why did this sound a bit strange.

The servants led Cheng Yaojin and the others in, while Cheng Chumo and the others stayed behind.

"Congratulations!"

The elders left, Cheng Chumo and the others could finally talk, and quickly congratulated Lin Xuan.

"Don't congratulate me, you can greet some guests for me." Lin Xuan smiled wryly.

This was the first time for his family to do business. Although he didn't know many people in the court, he had to invite him.

Lin Xuan has cut down as much as possible, but still sent more than 100 invitations.

Of course, it's not that he sent the invitation and people will be there, and he doesn't know how many people will come in the end.

"Okay, our brothers will help you welcome the guests today!" Cheng Chumo and the others did not refuse.

Lin Xuan rolled his eyes, you think you are the oirans.

Next, Lin Xuan was a little fortunate that there were many people who came, and he looked familiar but didn't know them.

But Cheng Chumo and the others are different, as the playboys of Chang'an, they can tell one, two, three things about everyone who comes.

It even included some gossip from various families. Lin Xuan looked at them with admiration.

The rural women of later generations probably don't know as much gossip as they do.

Near noon, Qin Huaidao didn't come for a while, and asked, "Zichu, are you here yet?"

Lin Xuan smiled wryly and said, "I don't even know who will come."

He sent out a total of more than 100 invitations, and up to now less than [-] have come.

Cheng Chumo said: "If you don't come at this time, you probably won't come. Let's go in."

Generally, when other people do things, those who are close will arrive earlier, and those who are not particularly close will not delay until now.

Lin Xuan didn't care whether those people came or not, he was just afraid of being rude.

Now hearing what Cheng Chumo said, he nodded and said, "Let's go in."

"Master, son!"

Just as Lin Xuan was about to go in with Cheng Chumo, a servant guarding the intersection hurried over.

"What's the matter?" Lin Xuan asked with some displeasure.

Although he doesn't like class division, such things will be unavoidable even in later generations.

Moreover, the quality of the servants and maidservants represents the face of the main family. If people see them in such a panic, they will only laugh at the Lin family for not being well disciplined.

"My lord, your majesty is here!" the servant gasped and said.

"Go inside and inform the adults." Lin Xuan quickly ordered.

He didn't have time to think about it now, why didn't he notify Li Shimin that Li Shimin would come.

"Let's go, let's meet His Majesty." Lin Xuan said.

Lin Xuan and the others didn't go far when they saw Li Shimin's frame.

"I see you, Your Majesty!"

Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Follow me."

Lin Xuan and others accompanied Li Shimin's bicycle frame to the door of Lin's house.

This is Lin Dongyang and a group of guests, already waiting at the door.

"I see you, Your Majesty!"

"Excuse me, today I'm here as a guest just like you, so I don't need to care about those false courtesy." Li Shimin got off the carriage and said with a smile.

"Huh? Why isn't there even a lion at this door?" Li Shimin looked a little strange at the empty door.

According to the etiquette system, a pair of stone lions can be placed at the gate of the prince.

"Your Majesty, I haven't come yet." Lin Xuan said.

In fact, although he was an earl when the house was built, it cannot be placed yet.

However, after he became a marquis, he was engraved.

Originally, according to the time, it could be done almost on the eve of his moving.

However, Lin Xuan was deprived of his title later, so he notified people to stop carving.

Although the title was restored later, it has not been made yet because of the delay.

Li Shimin knew what was going on after hearing what Lin Xuan said, so he didn't say much on this topic, and took the lead in walking in.

Generally, when people live in a new house and hold a banquet, they will take people around the house.

Of course, the inner house is definitely not allowed to visit.

Li Shimin sent those ministers to go to the hall first, and asked Lin Xuan to take him for a stroll.

"Not bad, not bad, although this is the first time I've seen this style, but the water and stone complement each other, it's a special taste." Li Shimin praised.

"Your Majesty is absurd!" Lin Xuan laughed.

The main road of the house is all made of cement. Li Shimin was a little curious before, and couldn't help asking: "What is the road under this foot built with? How does it look like it's a whole piece?"

The roads in the palace are all paved with masonry, and some places are paved with white marble.The road of Lin's family is not unusual, but he was a little surprised that it was connected like this.

"Your Majesty, this is the cement invented by Chen. Not only is the glutinous rice paste more viscous, but it is also stronger. The most important thing is that it is very cheap." Lin Xuan explained.

Li Shimin's heart moved, and he asked: "Is it really so miraculous?"

Lin Xuan smiled and said, "Your Majesty has already seen it."

"Before that, the Ministry of War requested funds to repair the frontier fortresses, why didn't you donate it?" Li Shimin asked, staring at Lin Xuan.

If there is such a magical thing, then he didn't need to allocate so much money in the first place.

"Your Majesty, on the one hand, the output is not enough, and on the other hand, if we want to use cement, those cities and fortresses will have to be rebuilt, and the cost will be even greater, so I didn't mention it to Your Majesty." Lin Xuan said.

He also thought about it at the beginning, but the border fortress city, maybe there will be a war at any time.

And if you want to use cement, you need to push it to rebuild. What if someone calls you during this process.

Of course, it can also be built slowly, but the weather in the north is early, and I don't know how long it will take until everything is rebuilt.

Therefore, Lin Xuan thought about it for a long time and didn't mention it.

Li Shimin nodded and did not continue to ask.

All the windows in the entire house are made of glass, and the sun shines on them, making them very bright.

When Li Shimin walked through the corridor, he was surprised to see the glass on the window.

After a long time, Li Shimin came back to his senses and pointed to those windows and asked, "Are these glazed?"

Lin Xuan nodded, and said, "That's right, but the minister paid for these colored glazes, and didn't embezzle them privately."

He did pay, but only for the cost, and the cost was not much.

Of course, Lin Xuan would definitely not tell Li Shimin about these things.

Li Shimin glared at Lin Xuan, did he want to say this?

"I'm not so extravagant, you actually use colored glaze to install windows?" Li Shimin said angrily.

"Your Majesty, Liuli is just some sand." Lin Xuan said innocently.

It's obviously something I made by myself, but I paid back the money, so what's so strange.
