Slurp, slurp, slurp ~!
"Oh! Whoever wants to say that I'm an embarrassment, let them say so. It's fine as long as I eat comfortably! Mm, go get another bowl of porridge for me! "
Li Tai finished a bowl of porridge and pickled vegetables very quickly. He rubbed his round belly and ordered Xiao He who was beside him. "Let's go.
Almost everyone in the Li Family knew Li Tai's frequent customer. Xiao He rolled her eyes when she heard such an impolite order, but she still took the empty bowl to get more rice.
Li Zexuan glanced worriedly at Li Tai's "round" body and said, "Qingque, with your body shape, is it …"
"Is it what? What's wrong with my body shape? "
Li Tai looked down at his waist and legs and said innocently.
"Emmmm, I want to say, Qingque, shouldn't you consider losing weight ~?"
"You think I don't want to! But the feeling of being hungry is worse than killing me. So, I'll just keep on being like this! "
Li Tai rubbed his head in frustration and said gloomily.
Li Zexuan sighed and said helplessly, "Anyway, be careful. Being too fat isn't a good thing for your body!"
"Okay, okay, I got it! Xiaoxuan, you're so long-winded! "
Li Tai waved his hand impatiently and said.
At this moment, Xiao He brought a bowl of porridge for Li Tai. Li Tai ignored Li Zexuan and focused on enjoying his second breakfast.
Li Zexuan shook his head and stopped persuading him. He took the empty bowl out. Unlike Li Tai, who was a glutton, he was already full.
.....
Burp ~!
"Xiaoxuan, let's go! I'm afraid the construction site has already started ~! "
Li Tai had already eaten breakfast in the morning, but he still ate three bowls of porridge at Li Zexuan's place. How big his stomach was really depended on how much food he had.
"Oh, Qingque, you go first ~! I still have to make some arrangements! "
Li Zexuan raised his head and looked at the rising sun in the east. He thought for a moment and said.
"Arrange what ~?"
Li Tai thought that Li Zexuan wanted to slack off, so he walked over and asked.
"Look, Qingque, it's not even half past seven in the morning (7: 45 in modern times), and the sun is already so solid. You can imagine how hot the weather is today. I'm afraid it's even more unbearable on the Cloud Mountain. I have to arrange for people to buy a batch of things to relieve the heat. Otherwise, it would be bad if the craftsmen and commoners get heatstroke!"
Li Zexuan said with a serious expression.
The Li Zexuan had a lot of ice cubes. Li Zexuan wasn't afraid of the hot weather, but the ten thousand or so commoners couldn't help but be afraid!
With the medical standards of this era, heatstroke was life-threatening. Previously, San Bao had gotten heatstroke while helping him test the telegraph machine. She had been lucky enough to escape death.
"Mm ~! What Little Xuan said made sense! By the way, don't you have a lot of ice cubes at home? Can you help me bring some ice cubes over later? "
Li Tai said hurriedly. He still had lingering fears when he thought about yesterday's hot afternoon.
"Okay ~! But didn't you want to share weal and woe with your subordinates? If you use ice cubes, then what about the members of your team? First of all, I don't have that much ice cubes at home! "
Li Zexuan looked at Little Fatty and said with a smile that wasn't a smile.
"Uh, that's true ~!"
Li Tai scratched his head and said, "Then Little Xuan, what method do you plan to use to relieve the heat for the craftsmen and commoners ~?"
Li Zexuan thought for a while and said, "It's nothing more than cold melon and cold bean soup. Also, it seems like we can't let the commoners work for two hours in the afternoon!"
Cold melon was watermelon. In this era, there was no such thing as watermelon. According to historical records, it had been introduced to the southeast coastal area of our country five generations ago. However, it wasn't called watermelon. Instead, it was called cold melon because of its cooling properties.
As for cold bean, it was the modern mung bean. This thing had a long history of planting in China and could be traced back to the Han Dynasty.
"Okay, that's it then! If the others can bear it, then I'll be fine too. I'll go to the construction site first! "
Li Tai waved his hand and went out to lead his Imperial Residence guards to Cloud Mountain.
Li Zexuan called Wang Zhong and asked him to go to the East Market to purchase a batch of watermelons and mung beans. At this time, the gatekeeper, Ah Fu, walked over and said, "Young master, there's a letter for you!"
"Who sent it ~?"
Li Zexuan frowned and asked.
"It's from the Xiao Mansion."
Ah Fu bowed and said.
"Xiao Mansion ~?"
Li Zexuan was even more confused. He didn't know many people with the surname Xiao in Chang 'an!
It was useless to ask more, so he opened the letter and read it.
However, after reading it, Li Zexuan's expression became even more strange.
This was a letter from Xiao Yu. What was important was that Xiao Yu wrote the letter to ask for the Immortal Mirror for his grandson!
Li Zexuan was really confused. What the hell was this?
Xiao Yu was the former Cabinet Elder and the current Minister of Civil Affairs. He was a proper big shot in the imperial court! He wrote the letter just to ask for a mirror. Was today April Fool's Day ~?
Li Zexuan's mouth twitched slightly and said to Wang Zhong, who hadn't left in time.
"Uncle Wang, ask Manager Sun to send three small Immortal Mirrors to the Xiao Mansion!"
"Ah ~?"
Wang Zhong's eyes widened. He suspected that he had misheard.
"What's wrong ~?"
"Ah, no, no, no, young master, this old man will go and ask Manager Sun!"
Wang Zhong quickly came back to his senses and said.
Li Zexuan nodded understandingly. He was still a little confused!
.....
Inside the Taiji Palace.
Xiao Yu, who was in the morning court, was a little depressed. He didn't want to write that letter!
Xiao Yu had been wise all his life and was quite wise in the literary world, but in the end, for his grandson, he threw away his old face to ask for a mirror. If outsiders knew about it, he would have no place to hide his old face.
That's right, Xiao Shouye was Xiao Yu's eldest grandson.
Therefore, he had no choice but to write the letter because his grandson was still relying on this deceiving, oh, deceiving Immortal Mirror to marry his wife!
However, with his identity, it was definitely not appropriate for him to personally ask for the Immortal Mirror. After thinking about it, Xiao Yu felt that it was more appropriate to write a letter to Li Zexuan. He thought that Li Zexuan would also give him face.
"Meng 'er, are you relieved now? If grandpa personally asks, there will be no problem! "
Xiao Shouye smiled fawningly at Meng 'er in the Xiao Mansion's courtyard.
"But what if grandpa Xiao doesn't ask?"
Meng 'er frowned and said.
"Hey, that's impossible. Which minister in the current imperial court will not give my grandpa face? Even the emperor … Uh, even the emperor is very concerned about my grandpa! "
Xiao Shouye wasn't stupid. He knew that there were some things that could be said and some that couldn't. He quickly stopped the second half of the sentence and changed his words.
"Well, that's true. Then this lady will forgive you this time! Hehe ~! "
