I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

The things Li Shen explained are going on in an orderly manner, including spinning the cotton he brought back to weave cloth, and playing cotton to make cotton-padded clothes.

If there are results or there are any problems, Li Shen will naturally be able to receive the report.

Three days passed quickly, and it was the day when Lu Dingniang returned to Ning. Guining meant returning home. It was passed down from the pre-Qin Dynasty that it took three months to return to Ding at first. It was changed to three days in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

The butler is responsible for preparing the gifts, which are nothing more than livestock and the like.

Li Shen felt a little shabby, so he added some more, including all kinds of silk and silk.

According to ancient etiquette, a married girl will generally not return to her parents' home if nothing happens. If you marry far away, Guining may be the only chance in your life to see your parents again.

In the royal family, only the favored princess will return to the palace.

However, Li Shen didn't have any feudal concepts on this point. Anyway, he lived in Chang'an and missed his parents. If he wanted to go back, he could go back.

It’s not that it’s a long journey and it’s troublesome to go back once.

When Li Shen told Lu Dingniang about this, Lu Dingniang was completely moved.

After everything was prepared, Li Shen was about to take Lu Dingniang back to her parents' home. Lu Dingniang stood at the door, looking at the two dozen large cars in a daze.

"Lang Jun, is this a little too much?"

Having two carriages at the door was already considered a generous gift. With more than 20 carriages, Lu Dingniang doubted whether his family would have room to put these things.

"It's okay, everything is available. Silk from the south of the Yangtze River, porcelain from the Yue kiln, livestock, a lot of rouge and gouache, spices, wine, soap, tea. Everything you need,"

"Mr. Lang, you are so kind to me."

"Let's go, don't be late."

He pulled Lu Dingniang into his luxurious carriage. A large group of people headed to Lu Shuang's Langzhong Mansion.

In fact, it's not very far from Li Shen's Qinren Square, just three squares away.

When Li Shen's team arrived at Chongdefang, it attracted a large number of people's attention.

Who can walk in Chang'an with such a large crowd of people? When they arrived at the street in Lu Shuang Mansion, there were neighbors on both sides who came out to watch the fun.

Prince Guining is something new, let alone a prince as rich as Li Shen.

Lu Shuang and Zheng had already been notified and were waiting at the gate.

Because Lu Shuang needed to go to court, Li Shen chose to go to court after going to court, which was after noon.

When Li Shen's carriage stopped in front of the Lu Mansion, Lu Shuang and Zheng came to greet him.

"I have seen the king."

"I met my father-in-law and my mother-in-law."

After the two parties met, Lu Shuang asked Li Shen to enter through the middle door.

"My father-in-law, some small gifts are not respectful." After Li Shen finished speaking, Shitou handed over a gift list.

"Your Majesty, spend money!" Lu Shuang took the gift list and handed it to Zheng.

Taking this opportunity, Li Shen glanced at Mrs. Zheng,

Zheng was just in her early thirties, which would be a good age in future generations.

Clear and bright pupils, curved eyebrows, long eyelashes trembling slightly, fair and flawless skin with a hint of red, thin lips as delicate as rose petals, truly beautiful.

No wonder Queen Changsun chose her to serve Li Shimin in the palace. It's a pity that Li Shimin didn't have that kind of beauty, so Wei Zheng, an old man, got involved in the affair.

Li Shen led Lu Dingniang into the mansion and sat down in the front hall.

Li Shen followed the rules and said some words of thanks, while Lu Shuang declined them one by one.

In fact, Li Shen feels that most men are not good at getting along with their father-in-law, and only a few can get along with them.

Lu Dingniang had already returned to the back house with her mother Zheng, leaving Li Shen and Lu Shuang alone. This made Li Shen very embarrassed. He didn't know what to say to a fifth-grade official who was also his father-in-law.

But you can’t be indifferent, either.

"My father-in-law, this is the blood jade I received from a businessman in the Western Regions. I gave it to my father-in-law. He can use it as a private seal,"

Li Shen finally remembered that he still had a gift that he had not given. Li Shen guessed that this piece of jade should be the Hetian ruby ​​of later generations. And the quality is excellent.

It was an accidental acquisition by a businessman from the Western Regions.

Lu Shuang took the box handed over by Li Shen and thanked him.

"My father-in-law, I don't know how big this mansion is." Li Shen started to look for words.

"More than three acres." Lu Shuang replied,

He is a fifth-rank official, so it is not bad to have such a big house. Most of their street is filled with low-rank officials like him.

"Is it possible to live in the house?"

"The eldest daughter in the house is married, and there aren't many servants to live in." Lu Shuang replied.

The back house at this moment

"You mean you haven't consummated your marriage with the prince in the past three days?" Zheng asked.

"Yes, mother, the prince said that I am young and giving birth so early would be dangerous and bad for my health. I want to wait two years later." Lu Dingniang said shyly,

"Daughter, it's better to carry on the family lineage for the palace as early as possible, otherwise someone will gossip." Zheng's concept is actually correct.

If a princess does not give birth for several years, even the royal family will take action.

"Mom, of course my daughter knows, but the prince said not to care, and there is nothing my daughter can do about it." Giving birth is a matter for two people, and there is nothing she can do if Li Shen doesn't cooperate with her.

"Is it because the prince doesn't like you?" Zheng started to analyze randomly.

"Mother~~The prince is very kind to his daughter. He always considers her. He takes me with him no matter what he does these days. My daughter thinks that the prince likes me."

"But the prince is almost 16 years old now, and he is still full of energy. If things go on like this, he may become more and more alienated from you." Mrs. Zheng has also been here, and there is no cat that doesn't steal fish.

"Don't worry, mother. My daughter has been made a concubine by His Majesty. My daughter plans to let Wu Mei from the palace come over some time later. When Wu Mei accompanies the prince, the prince will not go out. Moreover, the children have also heard from the servants. However, the prince is not like those dandy boys in Chang'an who like to go to brothels and paint boats."

This is what Lu Dingniang has thought about in the past few days. It has already been decided that Wu Mei will be the concubine, and Chunxiang and Dongmei have taken care of Li Shen since they were young, and they will also be concubines sooner or later.

As the mistress of the palace, she was also named a princess. Promoting the prosperity of the palace is also one of her tasks. This is why Queen Changsun personally selected the concubine for Li Shimin.

If the population is sparse because there are not enough women, then as the mistress, she will be a sinner and will be ridiculed by the outside world.

The welfare of men under the ancient feudal social system.

Zheng also imparted some insights into the relationship between husband and wife and management experience. Lu Dingniang was just listening,

She didn't tell her mother what happened in the past few days. As the saying goes, she is no longer a member of the Lu family.

Among the people, she has to be called Li Lu.

(Russia and Japan still take the husband’s surname)

If you don't reveal your wealth, even your mother can't tell you about your money.

This is also the rule.

Mother and daughter chatted for a while, and then the servant informed them that it was time to have dinner.

Coming to the dining room, Tang Dynasty has basically popularized Li Shen's tables and chairs. In this way, the family looks closer when they eat together.

Li Shen took out the fruit wine he had brought, and each of the four of them had a glass. Li Shen said some words, and the warm scene began.

(Sacrifice: In the sacrificial ceremony in ancient times, pigs, cattle and sheep were the inferior sacrifices, while warriors and nobles were the superior sacrifices.

Everyone's soul is noble, so they hope to exchange more things with God.

In the later period, whenever the Chinese nation falls into instability and chaos, the sacrifice in our Chinese nation's genes will be activated.

Facing death is no longer a terrible thing, but an exchange. A person sacrifices his life in exchange for the well-being of his family, victory in the war, prosperity of the country, and stability of the people.

This is the strong folk custom of our Chinese nation. )
