One Piece of Song Dynasty

Li Xin touched Li Qingling with one hand and Li Yixuan with the other: "By the way, let me tell you two some good news. You are going to be uncle and uncle."

The two were surprised: "Father, this is true."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Of course it is true. Your eldest sister and eldest sister-in-law are both pregnant. They are only one month apart. They should both give birth in April or May of the new year."

The two of them laughed and said, "Congratulations to my father. Now my father is both my grandfather and my maternal grandfather."

Li Xin said with some melancholy: "That's not true." He was going to be a grandpa so soon, which caught Li Xin off guard. After all, in his previous life, Li Xin died before he could reach this stage. Now he is going to be a grandpa. Li Xin felt a little strange. Of course, this also meant that Li Xin was getting old soon.

After thinking about it, Li Xin asked the fourth son again: "Iwasawa, you will go to college in the second half of next year. Have you decided which university to go to?"

Li Yanze said without thinking: "Think about it, father, I plan to go to Zhejiang Agricultural University."

Li Xin was a little surprised at first, but soon after thinking about it, he understood the child's intention. The only ones competing for the throne were the second and fourth sons. His second brother went to Fujian University. It seemed that he could not highlight his specialness by going to such a university again, so He planned to choose a university different from his second brother. After some searching, he chose Agricultural University. Why did he choose Agricultural University? Because agriculture is the foundation of a country. When he graduates and goes to other places, he can use agriculture as a breakthrough. Click to earn political achievements quickly.

Li Xin said meaningfully: "Well, it's not bad to go to the Agricultural University, but if you don't go there, you have to study hard."

Li Yanze nodded and said: "Yes, Father, the child will definitely not let Father down."

While several people were chatting, Li Xiaolong helped Yue Anniang to the Imperial Garden. Seeing the two of them, Li Xin quickly stood up and said, "I was talking to your brothers just now, but I didn't expect that you guys came back when Cao Cao arrived. .”

When the two met Li Xin, they saluted and said, "I have met my father."

Li Xin hurriedly signaled: "No courtesy, no courtesy. An Niang is pregnant, so there is no need to salute. Boss, since An Niang is pregnant, why are you coming back? You will come back next year after An Niang gives birth."

Li Xiaolong scratched his head and said: "Father, my original intention was not to come back to celebrate the Spring Festival, but An Niang insisted on coming back to celebrate the Spring Festival, so my son had no choice but to bring An Niang back. An Niang meant that it would be unavoidable not to come back for the New Year in the first year of marriage. It’s a bit rude.”

Li Xin shook his head and said: "Hey, what's the point of being rude? The safety of the emperor's grandson in An Niang's belly is the most important thing. You guys, An Niang, you came back from Jeju Mansion by boat and carriage, and your body feels like How can I feel uncomfortable?”

Yue Aniang replied: "Father, the child is fine. He doesn't feel any discomfort."

Li Xin looked at Yue Anniang and shouted to Wang Shun: "Xiao Shunzi, go call the doctor and give Anniang a look."

Wang obeyed the order and left. An Niang whispered: "Father, there is no need to trouble."

Li Xin said seriously: "It's better to let the doctor take a look."

As soon as Li Xin finished speaking, she saw Liang Hongyu also coming to the Royal Garden: "My son is back."

When Li Xiaolong and his wife saw Liang Hongyu coming, they hurriedly saluted and said: "Mother"

Liang Hongyu hurriedly stepped forward to help Yue Anniang up and said: "Quickly excuse me, Xiaolong, your father and I both thought you wouldn't come back during the New Year. After all, Anniang is pregnant."

Li Xin explained for them: "Well, Xiaolong and his wife felt it would be rude not to come back for the New Year in the first year of their marriage, so they came back."

Liang Hongyu said angrily: "You two, you are just thinking. Even if An Niang is pregnant, your father and I will not blame you if you don't come back. This is coming back from Jeju Mansion, not to mention the distance. Taking a boat and a carriage, what if something happens along the way? Is An Niang feeling unwell?"

An Niang shook her head and said, "Mom, it's okay."

Li Xin said: "I have asked Xiao Shunzi to call the doctor. I will check on An Niang later."

Liang Hongyu nodded and said, "Well, I have to let the doctor take a look."

Just as he was talking, Zhao Fei came in with a ball. Li Xin saw Zhao Fei come in and told Liang Hongyu: "Queen, it's cold outside. You should take Xiaolong and An Niang to the house to talk."

Liang Hongyu said: "Well, okay, Xiaolong An, let's go first."

Li Xin met Zhao Fei and said: "Why, the basketball is ready."

Zhao Fei handed the finished basketball to Li Xin and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, this is the finished basketball."

Li Xin took the khaki basketball and looked at it, then patted it on the ground. It felt pretty good and said, "Well, not bad. What kind of leather is it made of?"

Zhao Fei replied: "Your Majesty, it's sheepskin, but it was dyed after it was made."

Li Xin sighed: "Actually, it's best to use cowhide, but Datang Niu is not rich yet, so we can't do such wasteful things."

Zhao Fei said: "Your Majesty, it's actually okay to make one or two out of cowhide."

Li Xin shook his head and said: "No, basketball will be promoted to the people like football in the future. Now I want to make a basketball out of cowhide. I will definitely be reviled by the people behind their backs in the future. After all, cows still play a great role in the agriculture of Datang. Yes, by the way, the basketball stand is ready."

Zhao Fei replied: "It's done and can be installed for the emperor now."

Li Xin said: "Then let the craftsmen install it in the imperial garden. After it is installed, I will teach the princes to play basketball."

Zhao Fei cupped his fists and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

After receiving the order, Zhao Fei soon arranged for craftsmen to enter the Imperial Garden and install a basketball stand at the designated location. After installation, he painted a basketball court on the ground with paint according to the standards of later basketball courts.

An hour later, a standard basketball court was ready. Li Xin stood aside and said, "Well, not bad."

The fifth son Li Yanshu asked: "Father, what is this?"

Li Xin patted him on the shoulder and said, "This is a basketball court. The ball in my father's hand is called basketball."

Li Yanshu blinked his eyes and said: "Father, I see there is no difference between basketball and football, it's just that the colors are different."

Li Xin laughed and said: "There is really no difference between football and basketball in terms of shape. They are both balls, but they are played differently. Football is kicked with feet, but basketball is shot with hands." Li Xin said Then he put the basketball on the ground and patted it twice.

Li Yunpeng, the sixth son on the side, interjected: "Father, what are the rules of basketball?"

Li Xin said: "Father, I will write the rules of basketball tonight, and I will teach you how to play basketball tomorrow."

The seventh son Li Dinghui asked: "Father, can't you teach me today? My child wants to play today."

Li Xin shook his head and said: "Not today. This basketball court was just painted today. It has to dry overnight before it can be used. Let's do it tomorrow. Tomorrow, my father will teach you how to play basketball."

The children could only nod in agreement after hearing this. Li Xin said to Zhao Fei: "Zhao Fei, when you go back, you can sort out the situation of the twenty group companies of the royal family industry this year for me, sort it out and send it to me for a look. .”

Zhao Fei cupped his fists and said, "I obey the order."
