"Brother Feng!"

"Meet the prince! King Wu! King Wei!"

Several people were resting, when a group of people appeared from the other side of the street and greeted Feng Daiwen who was standing from a distance, only to find Li Chengqian and others when they walked in, and hurriedly saluted.

"Brothers, you don't need to be too polite. We're all wearing micro-services today, and everyone just wants to have fun." Li Chengqian said with a smile to Cheng Chumo's brother, Yuchi Baolin, without making a fuss about his identity.

"Brother Feng, why are you sitting here!" Cheng Chumo and others asked.

"That!" Li Tai looked at Chang Le and the others who had just left the store, pouted with his mouth.

"Hee hee!" A few girls behind Cheng Chumo and the others obviously knew Chang Le and the others, and walked over with a smile, and then Chang Le and the others led them into another shop with a smile on their faces.

"They're all cousins, cousins!" Cheng Chumo explained with a sigh of relief after they left.

Just as they were talking, many people began to enter the street. Li Chonghui and Li Tian accompanied a group of family members from the clan and joined the shopping queue.

The same is true for Fang Yizhi, Fang Yiai, Du Gou, Du He, Li Deju, etc. They are either sisters in the family or cousins.

Seeing that there were more and more people, Feng Daiwen greeted them back to the Opera House. Fortunately, Changle and the others had a good time, and those who carried big bags and small bags went back together, and those who were willing to continue shopping continued shopping. Now the streets are full of nobles, Don't be afraid of chaos.

"Haha! Come here, kid!" As soon as he walked to the gate of the opera house, he saw Li Yuan greeting him with a smile, with a large group of sons and daughters behind him, and his wife was Concubine Wan Gui.

"See..."

"Okay! Okay! I'm here to play today, so don't be too polite, so as not to spoil the fun!" Li Yuan waved impatiently before everyone saluted.

"Grandpa Huang, why did you come here so early without saying a word, so I can pick you up!" Feng Daiwen also followed suit and greeted Li Yuan and Concubine Wan Gui.

"Hmph! You built this opera house, and the palace can see it. Of course, everyone is curious. Today they all begged me to take them out to have fun." Li Yuan obviously didn't enjoy having too many people with him, especially These children who were born later paid little attention to them.

"Grandfather, please! Take a good look around first, see if there is any room for improvement, then take a break, and start performing after noon." Feng Daiwen invited with a smile. For Li Yuan, who loves to lose his temper, he naturally needs to be like a child Coax, follow, hold.

"Of course, I'll take a good look for you to see if there are any deficiencies!" Li Yuan immediately refreshed, and took the lead to walk in.

"Grandpa Huang! Changle will accompany you!" Changle smiled and pulled Li Yuan's arm and walked in. Li Yuan laughed so happily that he said that he was a relative from another generation. Li Yuan always loved Li Shimin's son and daughter.

Go all the way to a room on the second floor facing the stage. The surroundings of the room are also made of all glass, with curtains, which can be lowered to block the view when needed.

When the two brothers Yan Lide started to use glass to build houses, it was rare for them to cooperate once. Using the principle of light and adding tulle, they basically achieved the effect of one-way glass. They can see the outside from the inside, but the inside cannot be seen clearly from the outside. not bad.

Moreover, the two brothers were originally designed by their families for the palace. The sound from the stage below can be heard in the entire hall, and there is no echo. It can be said to be a peak design.

Li Yuan's room is adjacent to Li Shimin's room. When the glass door in the middle is pushed open, there is a huge private room, all of which are made of sandalwood furniture, and the soft sofa made of deerskin is filled with cotton, which is very comfortable. .

The ground is also made of sandalwood, which is free from moths and has a fresh smell. It is covered with a cashmere carpet, which makes people sink into it, as if stepping on a cloud.

Hainan huanghuali, Sichuan golden nanmu, Nanyang agarwood, through the skillful hands of the Thai family, all kinds of furniture are not only simple and elegant, but also beautiful. Beautiful and exquisite.

Yuan Tiangang, Li Chunfeng, Tai'an, Taimu, Yan Liben, Yan Lide, Qingshan, Qingshi, and more than a dozen master craftsmen joined forces to use gloomy wood, golden silk nanmu, and Bogutang's research on pre-Qin ancient books to restore memory metal copper and aluminum alloys according to the corona. , made into a spring, made of real meteorite ore to make gears, and made the world's first vertical clock.

The clock is distinguished by the Chinese character Zichou Yinmao and the scale. Below it is a row of small copper bells. Every hour on time, a small person will ring the chime. Someone needs to go there within half an hour after the chime is ringing. Kamijou, this is the only fly in the ointment.

Even so, it was made by a group of people representing Datang's current highest technology, under Feng Daiwen's reminder, using professional knowledge.

Among them, Yuan Tiangang used ten sets of gears, and it took a whole month to select the one that could accurately determine the time. After adding the best mechanic, Li Chunfeng and others, the best carpenter, Taian and others, finally It can be said that it is an item that consumes the most energy.

The benefit is that there will be an additional bell tower in Chang'an City, which is made of gears that are enlarged year-on-year. The big bronze bell can ring through half of Chang'an City to keep time and remind the people, but it will not ring at night.

After sitting down, Li Yuan was full of praise for the room, and also nodded in admiration for the various snacks and fruits that Feng Daiwen sent up.

Stir-fried chestnuts in sugar have become the most popular delicacy. Before that, it was pistachio (pistachio). In the past, chestnuts were eaten raw. It can only be said to be okay, and it is not easy to get them out. snacks.

Walnuts, pomegranates, these usual little girls and big daughter-in-law's favorite foods are left untouched, chestnuts are added with sand, and after adding sugar, the smell is fragrant.

There is a large bag of chestnuts in front of everyone to eat, and with Li Yuan, the juniors are not good at talking, so they can only eat in silence. In the private room, there are only Li Yuan's words to point out Jiangshan, and the rustling sound like spring silkworms gnawing, Knocking on the walnuts, the crackling sound of chestnuts.

Li Yuan was talking about the decorations in the room, he was talking excitedly, and occasionally stopped talking, only to find that only Feng Daiwen was by his side listening to him talking, and everyone else was eating like rats.

Immediately lost interest, he sat down angrily and pointed at his two sons, and said angrily, "This is Yuanchang and Yuanjia, and they are not good enough. I don't want them to become wastes who will eat and wait to die. Take them to Yanxi, Liaoxi." Restrict them, let them be village officials, even county magistrates."
