Good Life in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 146 Meeting King Zhuang Xiang for the First Time

"Grassman Li Jiyang, I have met the lord!" At this time, there is no such nasty and unrealistic address as "Long Live". You can't call "The King" because Li Jiyang has no official position; you can't call "Your Majesty" because it is reserved for the emperor. .

Now Qin Shihuang is standing beside him!

"You are Li Jiyang?" King Zhuang Xiang looked at him more seriously.

Ever since Zhao Ji and Zheng'er returned to the palace, he was mentioned in two of the three sentences. Although Wang Jiao meant something else at first, when he heard that the child was only fourteen or fifteen years old, he immediately Let go, because Ah Zheng said he looked very thin.

He doesn't look like a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child at all, and his body is not strong, but his big eyes are quite lively.

"It's the grass people." Li Jiyang replied respectfully. In fact, he didn't want to kneel and kowtow. Few people practice such great etiquette in modern times.

But this was in ancient times, in the Warring States Period, it was impossible not to kneel!

Li Jiyang thought in his heart: Just treat it as a kowtow to the ancestors!

Speaking of it, this is also the old Zongzong, that is, the old ancestors who are a little older, the late Warring States period.

"Well, get up and answer." The child looked quite honest. King Zhuang Xiang asked people to be seated to save face for Ying Zheng and Zhao Ji.

"Thank you, Lord!" Li Jiyang thanked him before getting up.

"Come on, sit with me!" Ying Zheng pulled Li Jiyang to sit on the desk next to the king.

"How is the godmother?" After sitting down, Li Jiyang looked at Zhao Ji.

"Okay, the godmother is fine!" Zhao Ji brought a pair of chopsticks to King Zhuang Xiang: "The king has something to eat for the time being, and he will go to the autumn banquet in a while. He still needs to drink."

"Okay." King Zhuang Xiang nodded and took the chopsticks.

Later, a maid served three food tripods, which were stewed mutton, broiled beef and blanched vegetables.

There is also a plate of white flour buns!

Li Jiyang saw the slightly yellowish white flour steamed buns, and thought it was because the stone mills of this era were not very well made. All the ground food was rough and granular, and the food was also rough and finely processed. less.

It's not that I don't have that ability, but that I don't have such a good tool.

The stone mill in Lijiazhuang was custom-made by Li Jiyang for his family, and of course it can grind fine noodles.

Unexpectedly, here even the king eats rough noodles!

Li Jiyang suddenly felt that he was sorry for Da Qin!

"What's the matter with this child?" King Zhuang Xiang couldn't eat any more after being looked at pitifully.

"What's wrong with Xiaoyang? Are you tired?" Zhao Ji looked at him with concern.

"No, I just think that the king's food is so simple and his life is simple." Li Jiyang sat there, looking at the fruit in front of him, but there was nothing special about it!

Fruits are not as good as those produced in the space, and seeing that the king eats thick-faced steamed buns, people from later generations are particularly surprised!

Not to mention anything else, which country's president or prime minister eats rough noodles mixed with barbecue meat?

It looks pitiful!

"Although there are many people in the palace, they are not extravagant." Zhao Ji explained to Li Jiyang with a smile: "And the lord lives a simple life and doesn't like luxury."

She is talking nonsense with her eyes open!

But who made King Zhuang Xiang like to listen to it!

The clothes on King Zhuang Xiang's body were cloth donated by Li Jiyang, made by Zhao Ji herself, and the material of the clothes was a good thing as soon as she tried it!

However, the material is very special. You can see the patterns embroidered with golden threads under the sun, but under the candlelight in the room, you can see silver patterns. Here, because there are enough When the sun is shining, there is no point, so the clothes look ordinary and gorgeous.

In fact, the connotation is quite amazing!

After Zhao Ji made the clothes and presented them to the king, the king was very satisfied!

Otherwise, I wouldn't wear it to attend the autumn banquet. Even the belt is inlaid with hollow jade pieces. It looks simple and generous, but a piece of jade is enough for an ordinary family to do nothing in Xianyang City. It's been two or three years.

This is what Li Jiyang called "low-key luxury"!

Zhao Ji has already mastered the way, and put it into action!

It's not like Mrs. Wang Jiao, who just glanced at it as a clothes king, and immediately became angry, because although she made good clothes, the materials were mediocre, and she said "thrifty", "simplicity" and so on!

And the material of the clothes was spun by the maids in her palace!

Even if the king talked about simplicity and inherited the life style of King Zhaoxiang, it was for outsiders to see. Didn't you see that most of the ministers in the Manchu Dynasty were veterans at that time?

The Lord is unwilling to be simple, so he likes Zhao Ji's "low-key luxury", and he hates the real "low-key life"!

Zhao Ji, who lived with the lord in Zhao's proton mansion, can understand better than Wang Jiao, the lord's desire for luxury. Because he also wants to understand!

History does not lie. After he said that the king’s life was simple, Zhao Ji said the same thing, and the king shook his head with a smile on his face: “I only want to follow my father’s example and make my Great Qin stronger. Trivia should be as simple as it should be.”

"The lord is really a filial son and a virtuous grandson." Li Jiyang picked a good word for his compliment.

Ying Zheng sat there without saying a word, in fact, his stomach was already cramping from laughing!

What kind of father is his king, can he not know?The same is true for Xiaoyang, while talking to people in a serious manner, but in private, he pinched his hand and scratched it, and he didn't force him to say that!

Little Qin Shihuang felt particularly wronged!

The baby is wronged, but the baby just can't say it!

King Zhuang Xiang ate something, put down his chopsticks, and said to Zhao Ji: "I will go first, and you can take Zheng'er and Xiaoyang over in a while. Since they are your adopted sons, I should also treat them as my adopted sons." generally."

"No!" Zhao Ji was moved and looked at King Zhuang Xiang with teary eyes, the affection in his eyes was about to overflow!

Ying Zheng immediately pulled Li Jiyang to his knees and kowtowed, which was an acknowledgment of Li Jiyang's status!

"Li Jiyang, pay homage to foster father!" Li Jiyang even hit the snake with the stick, and hurriedly recognized his relatives.

"Let's talk to your godmother well. Father-in-law goes to the front to see the minister first." King Zhuang Xiang stretched out his hand, and immediately a servant stepped forward to help Li Jiyang's arm, motioning him to get up.

"No!" Li Jiyang smiled with a small face.

King Zhuang Xiang was very satisfied when the king left, and of course Zhao Ji had to be delivered to the door, and there was such a hint of reluctance.

Of course, Ying Zheng and Li Jiyang had to follow them off, and they would return to the inner hall when the lord's team disappeared.

"Godmother, how are you doing in the palace?" Li Jiyang sat next to Zhao Ji with Ying Zheng on the left and right this time. Does Li Xin grow taller?" Zhao Ji also liked Li Jiyang very much.

After all, at that time, Li Jiyang helped his wife without hesitation.

"Everything is fine at home, you can use whatever you have. What I have there is all given by my master. He sent my senior brother to come and see me and gave me a lot!" Li Jiyang moved out the non-existent master again: " Xiao Lixin is doing well, now he can run and jump, he can speak fluently, and he runs around screaming all day long."

Now Xiao Lixin can run around, and Nanny Lan can't keep up with him alone, so the housekeeper picked two strong and healthy women to take care of the young master with Nanny Lan. After entering the gate of the house, they followed. They were not allowed to enter the gate of the main courtyard on weekdays, and Nanny Lan would not let them serve the young master close by.

"But have you been weaned?" Zhao Ji thought of the little baby sleeping on the kang.

"It's broken. I didn't dare to stop drinking at first. I just gave him egg custard, fruit paste, batter paste, vegetable paste and other complementary foods. Now I don't eat much milk."

The little guy is now a treasure in the Zhuangzi, and the pregnant women love the little young master even more, hoping that they can have a son themselves.

Of course, both the young master and the young master gave congratulatory gifts the same.

And because the fruits, eggs and other items that the little guy ate were all secretly replaced by Li Jiyang from the space, and now he looks healthy and cute, not to mention smart!

"How's the harvest at home?" Zhao Ji was very concerned about Lijiazhuang, the magical place that gave shelter to herself and her son.

"Harvest is good. I personally sent some tax grains, and I put some into the palace for the godmother to taste." Li Jiyang gestured: "Every one of them is full of grains!"

Ying Zheng sat and listened to Zhao Ji asking Li Jiyang various questions, Zhuangzi asked about harvest, and children asked those mothers and pregnant women.

It's very warm, and the atmosphere is even better than when the king's father was still there.

On the other side, King Zhuang Xiang was sitting in the car, and the car with him was his personal servant, and the driver was trained by the servant, a very powerful little servant.

"You've seen him, what do you say?" King Zhuang Xiang sat in the car with Ying Zheng in the same position, the motorcade and horses walked slowly, and the people around him saluted one after another.

Only the Qin army patrolling past in the distance was a salute.

"I don't see anything else, but this young master Li is very filial. It is said that he brought in a lot of gifts, and there are some specially for you, the lord. I have also asked about him, but unfortunately, there is nothing!" The servant sat in the same posture, but vaguely protected King Zhuang Xiang within the range he could get.

"Then his master, have you found out?" King Zhuang Xiang looked forward.

"No, that senior brother didn't find any trace either. Our people can't get too close, it's too remote, and one more rabbit can show up!" The servant also had a headache.

The old man of the Li family is very good at choosing places. In this season, there are either wild animals on the mountain, and people will find them if they move. After all, wild animals will not see people and be honest; Go up the tall wall, and it is not the wall with slopes in this era, but the standard wall that goes straight up and down!

What I am afraid of is that there is nothing to eat in the mountains in winter, and wild animals will break into the village and hurt people.

I heard that wild wolves came in, picked up lambs and ran away, but Li Jiyang dared not allow himself to bring so many people to live in such a dangerous place!

He despises the slope of the wall, whether it is a man or a beast, anyone with more dexterity can climb up, no wonder there was a saying of "flying over the wall" in ancient times, you can try it in modern times?

Not to mention skyscrapers, you can't even climb an ordinary three-story building!

Because the wall is straight up and down like a line, but the ancient walls have slopes, and there are also brick edges and corners. The shorter ones basically have no trouble climbing up!

And because the population of Lijiazhuang is simple, who doesn't know anyone?

Even the neighbors are separated by a hundred and eighty miles. Once a stranger comes in, he will be as conspicuous as a red-crowned crane entering a flock of chickens, okay?

They made such a fuss that they couldn't even get a spy in!

The servant's adjective made King Zhuang Xiang smile: "Then go in a fair manner. The widow recognizes the child as his adopted son. Although he has no official title, it should be fine for the foster father to send someone to visit his adopted son."

"No!" The waiter was happy, and finally had an aboveboard reason to go to Lijiazhuang. There was nothing to see outside, but it would be different if he could go in.

"What gift did you bring?" King Zhuang Xiang was very interested in what Li Jiyang brought.

Because there were surprises every time, and the things given were definitely not available in Qin, he guessed that Li Jiyang's master must not be from Qin, but he never knew which country he was from.

This person is so generous, did he like Li Jiyang, or did he have other plans...?
