Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 57 The Art of Selling

It was getting hotter and hotter, even though there were two large ice basins in the room, Li Hong was still blushing from the heat, even though the two maids behind him kept waving the round fans, they still couldn't relax. Let me explain Li Hong's feeling of sweltering heat, there are so many memorials today, and it was almost noon early in the morning, and there is still a thick stack waiting for Li Hong to go for trial, which makes Li Hong feel very annoyed. An impulsive, of course, wanting to return to thinking, it is impossible to do this, Li Hong can only be patient, flipping through and correcting one by one, but the irritability in his heart is getting worse and worse. It piled up, like brewing before a volcanic eruption.

Annoying, really annoying, this annoyance is not only due to too many memorials, or even not only because Shangguanyi's request for a posthumous title died without a problem, but more because of the annotations sent to Luoyang a month ago More than half of the votes were returned. Obviously, all the handwriting on the vermilion brush was written by Empress Wu. Li Hong couldn't bear the incident of the rooster sitting in the morning. How can I be so depressed.

"His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness King Zhou is seeking an audience outside the palace."

Just as Li Hong was immersed in the notebook, Wang Dequan hurried in from outside the hall, approached Li Hong, and reported in a low voice.

"Oh?" Li Hong raised his head from the notebook in front of him, and looked at Wang Dequan suspiciously, obviously some people were not sure what Li Xian's intentions were here.

"Your Highness, His Royal Highness the King of Zhou said that it was a gift, and the servant saw that his attendant was holding a few gift boxes, so I reckoned it must be true." Seeing Li Hong's eyes full of inquiry, Wang Dequan hurriedly explained. .

"Gift?"

It's neither a new year nor a festival, what kind of gift is it?Li Hong murmured in bewilderment, he didn't know what Li Xian wanted to do, but everyone had already arrived, so he couldn't say no, besides, Li Hong still had the intention of pulling Li Xian into his camp , since it is impossible to push it outward, we can only say "Xuan".

"The younger brother has met the elder brother of the prince."

Not long after Wang Dequan left, Li Xian strolled in. Seeing Li Hongwu sweating profusely, he couldn't help feeling sour in his heart. However, Li Xian's mansion was deep, but he didn't bring it to his face. He walked forward with a smile, bowed and saluted to say hello.

"Seventh brother is here, no courtesy, no courtesy, come here, and show His Royal Highness Zhou a seat." Li Hongzi had heard the sound of Li Xian's approaching footsteps, but he didn't raise his head in a hurry until Li Xian showed up. After Yan asked Ann, it seemed as if he had just woken up. He raised his head, raised his hand with a smile, and gave an order, the little eunuchs waiting in the palace brought Jindun, please Li Take your seat.

"Brother Prince is busy with state affairs and works hard. He is a role model for my generation, but there is always work to be done. Brother Prince needs to take care of his health." Li Xian lifted the hem of the royal robe and sat down. Shaking his wide sleeves, he said flatteringly.

"Seventh brother has a heart. Since Gu is ordered to supervise the country, he has to do what he has to do. Gu is just a hard worker. Hehe, let's not talk about it. Seventh brother came to see Gu, but is there something wrong?" Li Hong listened spontaneously. I could tell that Li Xian's words still had a bit of sincerity, and it was very useful in his heart, but he didn't want to talk nonsense on this topic, so he smiled self-deprecatingly, and directly turned to the topic.

"Brother Prince, that's a good question. I really need something to find my brother. Hey, this is a gift for my brother." Li Xian smiled and took a box from Gao Miao who was standing behind him, and looked at Li Hong. He opened his face, took out a jade bone fan from inside, shook his wrist with a smile, and flicked the fan away, waved it, rubbed his fingers, and snapped it together again, then stood He stood up, took a few steps, and held it in front of Li Hong with both hands.

"Hey, this fan is very delicate. Gu Zhenzhen has never seen it before. It's good, it's good." Li Xian's previous series of movements were so chic and tight, and Li Hong was very envious when he saw Li Xian handing over the folding fan. Coming over, he picked it up without hesitation, imitated Li Xian's posture and flicked the folding fan away, looked back and forth, tried fanning it a few more times, felt quite comfortable, and couldn't help but praise it One sentence.

"So that the prince can find out that this is called a folding fan. I went to the street a few days ago and saw a workshop selling such things. I was so happy to see that, I specially ordered some jade bone fans. I think it's good to use it. I don’t dare to enjoy it to myself, I prepared some specially for my elder brother, if my elder brother thinks it’s good, then it’s my brother’s blessing.” Seeing that Li Hong couldn’t put it down, Li Xian was overjoyed, and explained with a smile After a while.

"Seventh brother is interested. Gu really lacks this thing. Good, very good. Not only can I play with it, but it is also convenient to carry. Gu will not be polite to seventh brother." Li Hong played with the folding fan in his hand and opened it from time to time. After a few clicks, it was used very smoothly, but he was not polite to Li Xian, and just accepted it with a smile.

"Brother Prince, there is another use for this folding fan. You see, both sides of that fan are empty. If there are some famous artists inscribed some poems, calligraphy and paintings on it, it will be quite elegant while enjoying the cool air. If it is already hot today, If the elder brother of the crown prince rewards the minister with it, it will be very compatible, the younger brother specially prepared more than a hundred, put it on the younger brother's carriage, and let the servants move it in for the older brother." Naturally, the gift cannot be given in vain. , Li Xian smiled and talked a lot, and revealed his hole card, Ganqing is here to recruit Li Hong to be a model and a pioneer.

"Oh? That's a good suggestion. It's just that there are so many fans that are worth a lot of money. It's not good for Gu to accept them all. Seventh brother can ask the servants to report the account, and Gu can let Zhan Shifu pay the bills." " Li Hong felt that Li Xian's idea was good, but he didn't want to take advantage of Li Xian, so he replied thoughtfully.

"What did the prince brother say? How can I accept my brother's money? Isn't that a slap in the face of my brother?" Although Li Xian was short of money, he was not short of the money. Hiro, he pretended to be unhappy and said.

"Forget it, the elder brother will be born to the seventh younger brother."

Li Hong also wanted to have a relationship with Li Xian, so he didn't want to force Li Xian, so he smiled and thanked Li Xian.

"It should be, it should be, the elder brother of the crown prince is working hard day and night on state affairs, and the younger brother is incompetent and cannot share his worries. If he can help his elder brother to do something, the younger brother will feel more at ease." Li Xian's ability to flatter people is very high. Very soon, when it came to flattering, it was one set after another, which made Li Hong feel warm in his heart.

"Seventh brother's mouth is really serious. Could it be that he really wants to blush? Forget it, forget it, don't say such nice things anymore, it's getting late, how about seventh brother having lunch with brother Wei?" Li Hong felt relieved. , but in his mouth he laughed and cursed.

"So I dare not ask for my wish."

Someone wanted to treat Li Xian to dinner, how could Li Xian not be happy, he dropped his book bag with a smile, and burst out laughing. Seeing this, Li Hong pointed at Li Xian with his fan, and then laughed loudly.

Although the meals in the Eastern Palace are not in the same dining room as the Imperial Palace, they are generally similar. They are all warm meals, which look good but are tasteless, let alone compared with the luxurious feasts of Li Xian's later generations. That's right, the dishes cooked in Li Xian's own palace are much worse. Besides, Li Hong is a vegetarian, so most of the dishes he cooks are vegetarian dishes. For such a cunning person, eating this kind of banquet is really not that different from suffering, it’s just to have an atmosphere. Fortunately, Li Hong has the habit of taking a lunch break, but the meal time is not long, so he finally endured it. After arriving at the banquet, Li Xian didn't linger too long, took his leave, and led Gao Miao to walk outside the palace. While walking, suddenly a hand stretched out from behind and patted Li Xian's shoulder , immediately shocked Li Xianhao.

Li Xianben was thinking about how much he could earn by folding the fan. After being tossed about like this, the copper coins in his eyes immediately disappeared. In a rage, he looked back and saw He Lanminzhi's picture. With a face as handsome as a monstrosity, the words of cursing were already on the verge of his lips, but he had to swallow them back forcefully.

"Xiaoqi, what are you thinking, it must be Sichun, hahaha..."

He Lanmin was originally an incompetent person, and never talked about the distinction between superiors and inferiors. Seeing that Li Xian was frightened by him, he burst out laughing proudly.

Damn it, why did this guy show up?Li Xian has never liked to see He Lan Minzhi very much. Since He Lan Minzhi was sent to the East Palace by Li Xian last time, he has not seen this guy for nearly half a year. Cursing secretly, but with a gentle smile on his face, he cupped his hands and said, "Didn't my cousin go to Luoyang? Why did you come back?"

"Hey, Luoyang is not as good as the capital. Brother, I'm too lazy to stay, so I asked for an errand and returned." He Lanminzhi waved his hands carelessly and said, his eyes suddenly caught sight of the folding fan in Li Xianti's hand, and he stretched out his hand involuntarily, almost He snatched the fan from Li Xian's hand like a snatcher, looked at it over and over again, and kept mumbling in his mouth: "Hey, what is this? Brother, how come I haven't seen it before, how did you play?"

Errand?What kind of job can this bastard do, it's all nonsense!Li Xian despised He Lanmin viciously in his heart, but he replied warmly: "This is a folding fan, it's for cooling off, let my younger brother and cousin see it."

"Success." He Lanmin weighed it upside down for a long time, but it really didn't work. Hearing what Li Xian said, it was very straightforward, and he handed the fan back with his hand.

Li Xian didn't say anything to explain, he just threw the folding fan away with a "snap", shook it a few times, and then put it away with a "swipe". Going to snatch it again, it's a pity that Li Xian was prepared this time, even though he stretched out his hand quickly, he couldn't even grab the side of the fan.

"Aha, come on, Xiao Qi won't be so petty, isn't it just a fan, and brother will take a few of them later." He Lan Minzhi didn't expect Li Xian to react so quickly, he didn't touch the side after he scooped it up, But he was not angry, and said with a smile.

"Hey, look at what my cousin said, well, is it okay for my younger brother? Ah, by the way, the errand that my cousin said earlier is..." Although Li Xian hated He Lan Minzhi, he didn't want to make enemies with him, so haha With a smile, he handed the folding fan to He Lan Minzhi's hand, and then asked casually.

"It's nothing, it's not that His Majesty wants to enshrine Zen Taishan, so my brother asked for an errand, and returned to Beijing to pass a message to various ministries. It's no big deal." He Lanminzhi did not doubt that he was there, while playing with the folding fan, He explained with a smile.

Ok?Feng Chan Taishan?Ha, is this big show really coming?He said it unintentionally, but he listened with intention. Although Li Xian was still smiling, there was a flash of light in his eyes.
