Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty

(It’s the holiday today, so I’ll give you a chapter, no debt.)

Li Shen ate this meal very unnaturally. I believe many married men felt the same way as Li Shen when they went to their father-in-law's house for the first time.

After finally surviving for half an hour, Li Shen said goodbye. Lu Shuang and his wife sent Li Shen and Lu Dingniang to the door.

After the two sides said goodbye, Li Shen and Lu Dingniang got on the carriage and returned to Prince Ji's Mansion.

"Lang Jun, it seems that my daughter has found a good home. She will definitely have a good life in the future." Mrs. Zheng looked at her daughter who was leaving and was happy for her.

If you marry someone else, even if you are a child of an official family, you have to serve your parents-in-law and take care of the family. It would be fine if they were from a wealthy family, but if they were like theirs, they would not have much time to spare.

But Li Shen is different. Li Shen is the kind of husband that many modern men and women dream of. He is rich and powerful and does not have to support his parents.

"Alas, blessings and misfortunes are unpredictable." Lu Shuang shook his head, turned around and entered the house.

Mrs. Zheng didn't understand the meaning of Lang Jun's words. When she saw her daughter disappeared, she turned around and chased after Lu Shuang.

Just then a servant came to announce the arrival of guests.

Lu Shuang came to the front hall and saw that it was a few colleagues with whom he had a good relationship.

"Mr. Lu, you are so lucky. Don't forget Mr. X when you become successful in the future," one of his colleagues joked.

"No matter what Mr. Chen says, there is no way to achieve success." Lu Shuang himself is actually very honest and timid.

Otherwise, when the emperor fell in love with his wife and asked him if he was engaged, he was afraid to say no.

"Mr. Lu is being humble. We all saw just now that your little lady is returning to Ning today, and Prince Ji is accompanying her personally. There are more than twenty carloads of gifts alone.

His Highness Prince Ji has always been generous, and I think these gifts this time are of great value. "

After the man finished speaking, there was deep jealousy in his tone.

"Mr. Lu, I wonder if King Ji has any treasures to give us this time to open our eyes,"

"Hey, don't talk nonsense. If there is a treasure, how can you show it to others easily? Mr. Lu, don't listen to his nonsense."

The two of them sang together and stopped Lu Shuang, who was about to refuse.

In the end, Lu Shuang had no choice but to say "wait a moment" and went to the back house to get something.

"What kind of treasure do you think King Ji can give?"

"I guess it's at least a thousand guan."

"A thousand guan? My annual salary is only [-] guan, which is less than [-] guan including salary."

These are all low-level officials, and they are not descendants of aristocratic families. Of course, the children of aristocratic families would not associate with them.

Li Shimin chose Lu Shuang's daughter to be his princess. On the one hand, Zheng's family, but also on the other hand, Lu Shuang's clean financial status was also important.

Soon Lu Shuang came back with a box. Open in front of everyone

"Wow, is this blood jade?"

"Looks like it."

"Our young master also has a piece of blood jade, but the color is not as gorgeous as this one."

Several people were surprised and began to comment, as if they had never seen the world.

"Mr. Lu, this is a treasure. You must keep it well." said the official surnamed Chen.

"Mr. Chen, to be honest, His Highness the Prince asked me to carve this piece of blood jade into a private seal. If I don't do it, it will make the prince laugh. I can't embarrass my little daughter."

If you don't engrave a seal, people will say that you have never seen the world, and you won't be able to bear it. My daughter is still someone else’s princess, so I’m going to embarrass my daughter more.

"Carved into a private seal? Mr. Lu, this is a bit too ostentatious. According to my estimation, the value of this blood jade is no less than Wan Guan.

Duke Lu takes Wan Guan to court every day? "

"Wan Guan?"

"Wan Guan?"

Lu Shuang's hand holding the jade trembled.

"It doesn't matter. Mr. Lu is the father-in-law of King Ji. No one will say that Mr. Lu is arrogant."

"Yep"

\"right\"

Everyone chatted for a while. In fact, these people came to get close to Lu Shuang, hoping that there would be any opportunities to make money in the future.

Lu Shuang had no intention of taking advantage of Li Shen. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings.

Returning to the back house, Zheng pulled her in as soon as she entered the house.

"Mr. Lang, the gifts my daughter brought this time are too expensive. They are all things that only high-ranking officials are willing to use.

Even my Zheng family would not be so extravagant. See if we send it back. "

Mrs. Zheng had just read the gift list and almost dropped her jaw.

"Oh, how can I send it back? It's so disrespectful. There's something in it."

"Each piece of silk from Jiangnan Road is worth hundreds of guan. There are hundreds of pieces in total. There are also soaps, wines, and rouge and gouache from the boutique pavilion. These add up to tens of thousands of guan.

There are also several barrels of tea. My daughter said this is tribute tea, specially given to the emperor to drink, and cannot be bought outside.

There are also spices. The husband’s cart of spices is worth a lot of money. The total added up is probably [-] guan.

Why did this daughter take back so many valuable things as soon as she arrived at the palace? "Ms. Zheng was obviously a little anxious.

My daughter has just been crowned a princess and now she is transporting things to the house like this. What do people think? Good or bad.

"Madam, please don't panic. I think these are rewards from His Highness Prince Ji. It seems that my daughter is very popular with His Highness."

Lu Shuang was very calm, because he had heard some news. King Ji's annual income is estimated to be several million. All business has gone to the grassland.

A mere hundred thousand guan is nothing, a piece of blood jade is worth ten thousand guan. But it was not convenient for him to say this, otherwise he would appear to be a philistine.

"Lang Jun, the gifts from Prince Ji are too valuable. We need to clear out a few more rooms tomorrow. Many things cannot be packed. They must be kept properly. They are piled up in several rooms now. If they break, they will be lost. ." Zheng suggested.

"Tomorrow, you can pick some things to send to aunt. It can be regarded as a small gift from my mother's family." Lu Shuang said to Mrs. Zheng, aunt is his eldest daughter.

While the two were discussing gifts, Li Shen and Lu Dingniang had returned to Prince Ji's Mansion.

Lu Dingniang was very happy today. Her husband cared for her so much and the gifts he gave to her family were very generous. This was enough to prove her weight in the prince's heart.

"Madam, are you tired?" Li Shen asked with a smile.

"I'm not tired, please come and lie down. I'll massage your shoulders."

As he spoke, he pulled Li Shen to lie down on the recliner and rubbed Li Shen's shoulders.

Just as the two of them were chatting with each other, Lan Yuer came over.

"Your Majesty, don't forget that the imperial concubine's birthday is seventeen days away. Your Majesty, make preparations early."

"What did you say??" Li Shen sat up immediately.

Li Shen is a person who can't remember things. Lan Yu'er is responsible for reminding him of all the things that need to be recorded.

Lan Yu'er has a special notebook for Li Shen to record events. A few months ago, Li Shen told Lan Yu'er to notify him in advance of Concubine Wei's birthday this year.

In previous years, they would give some rare treasures, but Concubine Wei would hardly need them, so Li Shen was going to give her a unique gift.

But after a few months, Li Shen basically forgot about it. He only remembered it when Lan Yuer reminded him just now.

"Seventeen more days?" Li Shen asked uncertainly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, so it's better to prepare early."

"What's wrong, I'm not ready yet." Li Shen walked around anxiously.

He hasn't decided what to give yet.

Things that are both useful and valuable, noble and practical, and preferably rare in the world.
