Chapter 139

Li Yuanying's guards returned to Beijing with a special carriage. The carriage did not carry people, but a few melons.

When Li Yuanying said that he wanted to teach investors to plant melons, everyone thought that Li Yuanying was making a fortune by herself and wanted to trick others into donating a building if she took something out.

I heard that Li Yuanying really planted the watermelon and solemnly asked someone to come back and present the watermelon. Changsun Wuji and others were all interested and found various reasons to rely on His Majesty Li Er to see what kind of watermelon it was. It could make Li Yuanying speak loudly and say that it was the only one in the Tang Dynasty!

The people around Li Yuanying had gone out to practice with Dai Ting, and were not afraid of things when encountering dangers. Even if the most noble people in the Tang Dynasty gathered together, they were not frightened. A skilled melon-cutting worker stood up to pick the melons. He picked it up and carried it solemnly before His Holiness Li Er introduced that it was not the best to eat, and it should be soaked in ice water for a short time. The melons taken out will be ice and sweet, so that they will surely make people's mouths and tongues and the heat will be completely eliminated!

Seeing that the guards were constantly introducing themselves, Yuchi Jingde and others were impatiently waiting, but His Majesty Li Er did not say anything, so they had to listen and just wonder in their hearts: Why are the people around Li Yuanying the same as him? In the past, these people didn't see them very special when they were in the imperial guards. Now they stand up and make people feel that they are outstanding!

After the guards finished introducing the article, he didn't ask His Majesty Li Er to wait too long. He picked up the knife and split the melons into two, and then skillfully divided them into pieces of even thickness.

The moment the melon was cut open, everyone was attracted by its bright red flesh. When I looked at it again, I saw that the pieces of watermelon were so red that they were lit up. Even the juice flowing down looked particularly cute!

At this time, when I thought that Li Yuanying had promised the melon to the people of Zhengxian to plant, many people were a little annoyed: If you really know that it is such a good melon, they should also donate a building so that their families can learn to plant it!

The guard who returned to Beijing to send melons to the point of time introduced that the black kernel on the pulp is watermelon seeds. It doesn’t matter if you swallow it accidentally. It’s best if you can spit it out, and you can still keep the seeds.

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up. Since melons are easy to grow, there is nothing to regret. Those people must not refuse to sell melons after planting them, right? If they sell them, can they still break the melons and dig out the seeds before selling them? It is obvious that they cannot! So this watermelon is like the sunflower that Li Yuanying sold at the time. It is only rare to sell it in the first year, and everyone can plant it next year!

As for how to plant the seeds, you can slowly explore them after getting them. There is always a way to plant them. At least the people in the county donated the building and let others make a year of fresh money first!

His Majesty Li Er did not have as many ideas as Changsun Wuji and the others. His Majesty Li Er was very satisfied with the good awareness that Li Yuanying planted good things and sent them back to him. He generously gave everyone a piece of watermelon, and asked someone to take them to the greenhouse to plant them. When he turned around, he tried what Li Yuanying's guards said to be "icy watermelon".

So the two brothers had the ambition to divide a thin piece of melon for the people below, and they all believed that they were generous in allowing them to take the melon seeds from the watermelon home.

In the evening, the young princes and the princes and the others had tasted something, and there were a few concubines in the harem who received rewards, and they were all rewarded according to the pieces. The rest were all included in His Majesty Li Er's own stomach, because the melon was very sweet and very pleasing to him!

Seeing that the next day there was nothing to eat, His Majesty Li Er compiled a letter and asked someone to send it to Zheng County, asking Li Yuanying to send some more melons back. Only a few of them were not enough to eat!

Wei Zheng also divided the melon that day, his grandson-in-law asked someone to send it back with melons. He thought it was pretty good, so he wrapped the seeds like everyone else, and prepared to plant a few melons to eat next year.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned home, Wei Zheng saw his wife Pei cooking melons in the garden in the yard. Their yard does not plant flowers and plants, but plant fruits and vegetables, and they can basically be self-sufficient all year round.

Seeing Wei Zheng coming back, Pei turned around and smiled at him, saying that this was sent by Li Yuanying and Wei Shu during the day. He also wrote a booklet to teach her how to take care of her. She didn't ask her to do anything even when she arrived. She quickly helped her transplant the soil into the nursery. She was idle today and came out to see the big and round watermelon, really afraid that it would be stolen!

Wei Zheng was regretful that he could not bring it back for Pei to taste it. Seeing that his family also had one, he felt relieved and told Pei about sharing the melons in the palace during the day. With such a watermelon, Li Yuanying finally asked someone to pay for the building to be built for nothing. Some people would not find a reason to scold him in the future!

Pei also heard that Li Yuanying was going to renovate the Taihe Palace. It is said that many people were rushing to pay. She said, "Don't those people pay voluntarily? Why do people still want to scold Yuanying? Have you helped Yuanying scold him back?"

Wei Zheng said: "Is this something that can be scolded?" Seeing that the treasury could not move out the money, the royal brothers went to fool those aristocratic families and wealthy families. He turned a blind eye to him. He really wanted to roll up his sleeves and help curse him back, maybe he would be poked at the back of his back for the rest of his life!

Pei just mentioned a casual word. After hearing Wei Zheng say this, he stopped talking. He went into the house with Wei Zheng, picked up the watermelon floating in the water tank and smiled at Wei Zheng: "This melon has been soaked in cold water for a long time, and it is cold when touched. The small ones are not there. After a while, we cut half of one person. The Nascent Soul said that it is most comfortable to eat with half a watermelon."

Wei Zheng was happy when he thought that His Majesty Li Er was stingy during the day and only cut a piece of it for everyone. He agreed with Pei's words: "So, we will take half of each of us to eat in a while."

Not only did Wei Zheng share half of the melon with Pei, and he was satisfied with eating, he also wrote a poem, praising the melon, and said that the couple, one half of them, was very satisfied with eating, but they were a little overwhelmed, and they had to take a few walks in the yard to feel more comfortable after eating. Finally, he reflected hypocritically, if the water is full, the moon is full, the loss is lost. You can't go too far in everything, you must be restrained.

It is common for literati to write poetry, and writing poetry is usually for self-expression. Since it is expression, it naturally requires an audience. Wei Zheng shared his new poem with his colleagues the next day, indicating that this is his own insights from eating melons.

When Changsun Wuji and others heard this, their faces turned dark.

You have a grandson-in-law, it’s amazing. Is it necessary to show off like this? You, Old Wei, have been sick, are you confused? Do you remember that you are a righteous minister?

His Majesty Li Er's face was not very good. This kid actually gave double the things, one in the palace, and one in the Wei Zheng family! He was a little older, so he was very attentive to please the Yue family!

Li Yuanying, who was still obediently staying in Wu County to handle official duties, sneezed and looked at the sky, and found that it was cloudy, as if it was about to rain. With his order, the servants below quickly packed up the things they needed for office work and moved them back to the temporary official house built by the lake before the rain had fallen.

Li Yuanying pulled Wei Shu back along the lake shore, and then halfway through the road, the sky was raining heavily and smashed down. He wanted to go forward and put an umbrella for them, but Li Yuanying felt that the rain was coming happily and no one was allowed to block the rain for him.

Li Yuanying turned around and asked Wei Shu: "It's raining well. A few days ago, aren't you worried that it would cause drought if it didn't rain for too long? Don't worry now!" Li Yuanying ran there from childhood to adulthood, and there was someone in charge. Before he had been wet, there was a rain suddenly coming on the way, and he was a little eager to try, "Why don't we run back!"

Seeing that Li Yuanying was full of interest, Wei Shu would not discourage him, so she let him hold his hand and run back.

Both of them were still half-sized and no one could stop them from getting a bear. Anyway, they were all wet. On the way back, they simply picked up the pool of water accumulated on the ground and stomped on them. Both of them were splashed all over.

Li Yuanying pulled Wei Shu back to the official house and was very addicted. However, as soon as the two returned to the official house, they were pulled away by Di Renjie and Wu Mei, and took them to take a hot bath and conduct profound ideological education.

Di Renjie thinks that Li Yuanying is very reliable when doing things, and he is not at all uncontrollable. He wants to come to work by the lake and say it is cooler here, and everyone will follow him. But today he is really messy. He has seen someone who is in a hurry to shelter from the rain, but he has never seen someone who is in a hurry to get wet in the rain. What if he suffers from a cold?

Di Renjie began to mutter to Li Yuanying with great sincerity.

Not only was Li Yuanying not afraid of Di Renjie's muttering, he also turned around and exposed his back to Di Renjie and asked Di Renjie: "Can you help me wipe my back? I can't reach it behind me!"

Di Renjie glared at him, but in the end he had no choice but to rub his back while continuing to say to him, "You are sorry for yourself, sorry for your mother, sorry for your relatives and friends who care about you."

On the other side, Wu Mei was helping Wei Shu dry her long hair, and Chengyang was educating Wei Shu: "Girls are born with cold body and cannot get wet. How can you mess with Uncle Yao?"

Wei Shu obediently admitted her mistake.

Chengyang was a little helpless. She felt that Wei Shu was almost ruined by Li Yuanying. Li Yuanying always humbly admitted her mistakes, and what bad things should be done or what bad things should be done in the back!

Jin Shengman asked Wei Shu: "How is it like getting wet in the rain?"

Wei Shu thought for a while and said, "It's very happy." At that moment, she had no worries or any worries in her heart, never thought about anything wrong, and never thought about any cold and disease. In fact, this has always been like this around Li Yuanying. He doesn't have to think about anything, just have fun with Li Yuanying.

After listening to Chengyang's lesson, Wei Shu also felt that this was indeed wrong. However, if Li Yuanying invited her again, she would still run with Li Yuanying.

Jin Shengman smiled and walked to the other side to help Wei Shu comb her long hair. In turn, he persuaded Chengyang: "Which kid doesn't mess around, Chengyang, don't be too restrictive of them."

She was almost going back to Silla. Her cousin was not in good health and had no children to serve her. The family kept asking her to go back quickly. In the letter, her family mentioned that her cousin had no children and she would probably succeed to the throne. In that position, she could not have sincere friends, sincere husbands, or even children of their own, otherwise they would be involved in the whirlpool of power.

After arriving in the Tang Dynasty, Jin Shengman heard that the emperor often called himself a lonely person. Think about it carefully, being the king of a country and the lord of a country is not just a lonely person. It is because of this that she likes to watch Li Yuanying and Wei Shu, the children, make fun of each day. Such a memory may be the freshest and happiest day in her life.

Chengyang looked at Wei Shu with a humble look, then Wu Mei, who had not spoken, and Jin Shengman, who was talking for Wei Shu, and finally could only sigh and not say more. Although these two people were younger than her, in fact, they were her uncle and aunt based on their seniority!

Fortunately, Li Yuanying and both of them were in good health. They took a hot bath, wiped their hair dry, and drank a bowl of cold-driving soup. Both of them became lively again. Chengyang observed for two days and found that they didn't even sneeze. They finally felt relieved, but they still found the people who came to accompany them to tell them not to let Li Yuanying do anything wrong again.

Li Yuanying happened to run into Chengyang and asked someone to stare at him, and pulled Chengyang to look at him for a long time. Chengyang glared at him: "What's wrong? Can't I tell the people around you?"

Li Yuanying said, "Of course, of course! I just saw that you are a bit like the mistress of the family. Is the emperor asking someone to prepare for your marriage?" When talking about Chengyang's marriage, Li Yuanying remembered that he had taken Li Zhi to test Du He a few years ago, but it was not very suitable. Last year, he stuffed Du He into the royal mission and went to Tubo for a while. I don't know if Du He has made any progress. Thinking of this, Li Yuanying directly took Chengyang's hand and asked, "You have seen Du He in the Imperial College. Do you think he is good? Do you want to change someone?"

Cheng Yang said, "You also know that your father is asking someone to prepare, so how can you make a change of people?" Cheng Yang did not blush and talked about his own considerations. She didn't like Du He very much earlier, thinking that he was a playboy. Later, she met him in the Imperial College several times and felt that although this person was a bit ostentatious, he was not bad. Thinking about Duke Lai's early departure, if she regretted the marriage, she would be really sorry for Duke Lai, and she didn't want to be such a villain.

Li Yuanying said: "Since you want to marry him, I have to add some dowry to you."

Chengyang was finally a little embarrassed and said, "The dowry and other things are handled by someone, and there are accurate numbers." Even if His Majesty Li Er wanted to give her more things, Wei Zheng and the others would jump out and say that Yu Li was not in line. If you marry this princess than the standard, what should you do when you marry another princess? You can't make this bad news!

Li Yuanying followed the good deeds: "Then I'll wait until you get married before giving it to you, and you can keep it as a private property!"

Li Yuanying talked about the engagement with Chengyang, but Chang'an City had a big fuss over another marriage.

On that day, Gao Yang and his men blocked Fang Jun in front of Pingkangfang, and shook the whip and said, "Even if all the men in the world die, I won't marry you!"

The author has something to say:

Wei Zheng: The grandson-in-law gave me so much that she was overeating. I wrote a poem to commemorate Fang Xuanling: Shameless!

Changsun Wuji: Shameless!
