"Etiquette is not strange", that's what it means. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

For Li Su, no matter who comes to visit, as long as he brings a gift to the door, even if he doesn't share the hatred of the sky, he will put it aside for the time being, treat him politely as a guest, and then decide to cut him or stab him after receiving the gift, after all, the gift is innocent.

After Li Su received the gift list, his eyes kept staring at every word on the gift list, and his expression was full of amazement and greed.

Giving such a heavy gift, no matter what his purpose is, he should at least give him the service standard of a five-star hotel, and he must be given the joy and tranquility of being at home......

"Husband, Tubo is a foreign country, and the foreign envoys come to the door a little bit ignorant of the rules, and they bring such a heavy gift......"

Seeing Li Su holding the gift list in his hand, laughing stupidly, Xu Mingzhu couldn't help but worry and persuaded tactfully.

Li Su returned to his senses, and his expression suddenly became extremely righteous: "Madam, don't worry, I just met the envoy, I will never accept the gifts they give, you have to believe in the character of the husband!" ”

Xu Mingzhu nodded happily: "The concubine believes in you, the husband remembers to return the gift to the family, if you accept it, the commander will join you again." ”

"Believe me, being a husband has a bottom line, and he is definitely not a person who sees money!"

…………

The Li family received foreign guests for the first time, the whole family was a little nervous, the inner courtyard came out of the order, the head of the house received the deputy envoy of Tubo in the front hall, Steward Xue hurriedly ordered someone to clean the vestibule, the vestibule was spotless, Steward Xue also looked left and right to look unpleasant, Li Su frowned, a little unpleasant to look at him.

It's just a deputy envoy of a foreign country, and today's Datang does not have the atmosphere of worshipping foreign countries, on the contrary, they are all foreign countries that regard Datang as a developed country, whether it is dress, etiquette or customs, and even the state official system consciously or unconsciously imitates Datang.

Li Su rolled his eyes and met with the deputy envoy of Tubo in the front hall.

Very interesting acquaintance process, this guy named Raza is very burly, and he speaks in a rough voice, and there is a kind of plagiarism posture that fights if he doesn't agree with him, but every word he says is very polite, imagine the kind of warm smile that is squeezed out of his face, and he also uses the tone of "what do you see" and "what do I look at you" to say blunt and polite words, to be honest, Li Su was embarrassed for him, and regretted today's meeting, but for the sake of the face of the gift, Li Su decided to endure it again, The five-star hotel is at home, and you can't meet to chase away guests.

Raza entered the door and set the tone, this trip is to replace the prime minister Lu Dongzan, because the prime minister in Chang'an City is more sensitive, it is inconvenient to visit in person, please Li Hou Hai Han Yunyun.

Then Raza continued to delineate the scope of today's visit, only mentioning that the Tibetan minister was willing to make friends with Li Houye in a private capacity, hoping that Li Houye and the prime minister would become good friends in the future, and that they would never be separated from each other, and never mention the diplomatic relations between the two countries and any topics other than personal friendship.

The very empathetic Tubo Prime Minister limited the visit to personal friendship, Li Su also breathed a sigh of relief, at this time, this place, if the two countries are used as a topic, Li Su doesn't know if he can catch it.

The guest and the host sat down, talking for a long time, basically the weather of the Tang Dynasty hahaha, the weather of Tubo and other unnutritious nonsense, Raza is obviously not a good chat partner, Li Su can see that although this guy is a deputy envoy, but from the perspective of temperament and style, he should be a general in the Tubo army, a battle-hardened general, maybe the battle between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo Songzhou also had his share.

Compared with Li Su's strong self-patience, Laza's feelings are not much better than his.

He really doesn't know how to chat, of course, that's not the point, the point is that this Hou Ye surnamed Li, not only has a kind and angry attitude, but also stares at him with a strange gaze, as if watching a colorful koi that can get good luck by forwarding it swim in the water, very crazy.

Li Su patiently chatted with him for half an hour, and finally everyone couldn't stand it anymore, so Raza got up to say goodbye, and Li Su was also relieved and personally sent him out of the door.

With a smile on his face and waving his little hands, it was not until the back of Raza and his party on horseback disappeared on the country road outside the door that Li Su put down his hand and let out a long sigh of relief.

It's not easy for the powerful to make some money, and for this gift, how long did they laugh before they put the gift into the nest......

"Husband, you ...... Why did you still receive gifts from others? Xu Mingzhu behind him stomped his feet with disgust on his face.

Li Su turned around, lowered his head and looked at his hands, and said in amazement: "Did I accept the gift?" ”

Xu Mingzhu's face was flushed with anger, and she glared at him and said, "Accept it, not a single thing will be lost, husband, you will accept it all." ”

Li Su sighed: "Why did you accept it?" It's so undisciplined......"

Looking up at Xu Mingzhu, Li Su's eyes were full of sincerity: "Madam, you have to believe me, I really don't want to accept it, but from the time that Tibetan barbarian came in to the time he went out, my body seemed to be controlled by an inexplicable power of the wilderness, and I was not allowed to return the gift to others, otherwise the power of the flood would make me explode on the spot, have you ever seen the earth-shattering thunder?" It's that kind of explosion......"

*******************************************************************

With Xu Mingzhu's IQ, of course he doesn't believe Li Su's nonsense.

It's just that after getting married for all these years, she has some understanding of Li Su's problems, such as cleanliness and greed for money.

The performance is normal on weekdays, but as soon as I see the money, I can't walk the road, so I have to find a way to move it to my own warehouse, not to mention the money that someone else personally sends to the door in a big car.

After accepting the gift, Li Su was satisfied, and from beginning to end he was full of comfort, and he was content to lie in the courtyard in a daze and think about life by the way.

Lu Dongzan sent someone to visit him and gave such a heavy gift, of course Li Su didn't believe that he was just trying to make friends with him.

Friends don't have such a way to communicate, just meet and give two big cars of heavy gifts, give gifts and have no desire, this kind of friend should be the most guarded, polite in person, I don't know when I stab in the back.

Lu Dongzan's elegance, of course Li Su also understood, very bloody routine, want to buy the important ministers of the Tang Dynasty, see who is more powerful and burn whose stove, with the ranking of the power to determine the weight of the gift, before giving the gift, presumably the Tubo mission has done its homework in advance, no matter how much money is spent to buy, as long as the conflict between the two countries and the stakes can deliver a message in a timely manner, the money spent is a hundred times a thousand times the income.

In recent years, the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo is a bit delicate, on the one hand, the two countries have been at war, the Tang Dynasty won, the Tubo lost, with the conceited nature of Songtsen Gampo, of course, he can't accept this result, so the decision to make friends with the Tang Dynasty is really from the overall situation, Songtsen Gampo is still holding back the fire in his heart, not to mention that the two countries have an unavoidable and inseparable interest relationship in many aspects, such as the trade between the two countries, the exchanges between Buddhist monks, There is also a country called Tuyuhun sandwiched in the middle, which is both a buffer and a focus of contention, so even if there is now intermarriage and friendship between the two countries, there is still some hostility that is not existent.

Li Su believes that Lu Dongzan is not the only one who gives gifts, and the large and small magnates in Chang'an City should have sent them, and to whom and how much to give, they have secretly estimated the price, and the two big car gifts given to Li Su are the price at which they bought Li Su, Li Su is worth so much, so they will never keep it, and what can only be done by spending a hundred taels of silver cakes will never cost only ten taels, not that there is money to burn in a panic, but that the things bought by one hundred taels are the real thing, and ten taels are just a fake, at most it is a copycat, They want to be sincere, so they must also be sincere.

Lying under the big ginkgo tree and thinking about this, the smile on Li Su's face deepened.

The Tibetan people are still too simple, and they may live in the plateau area all year round, so their brains are a little hypoxic......

They haven't seen what it means to put on their pants and not admit it, other powerful Li Su doesn't know, anyway, the money that Lu Dongzan threw into the Li family has a similar effect to beating a dog with a meat bun, and the face is a good thing, some people have it, and some people don't.

So after Li Su calmly accepted Lu Dongzan's gift, he should have come to the door to thank him, Li Su didn't go, and he didn't even bother to deal with his own job of accompanying the Tubo minister to Chang'an City to eat, drink and have fun, so he actually threw the dignified minister of a country in the Sifang Pavilion to bask in the sun, and Li Su ...... Lying in their own homes basking in the sun, everyone basks in their own way, which is a bit of a meaning of not getting along with each other.

Li Su occasionally couldn't help but speculate, he felt that Lu Dongzan should also have a bad premonition at this time, just like the kind of bad feeling when he lost his wallet on the road.

After all, Lu Dongzan probably has never encountered any response after giving two cars of heavy gifts.

…………

…………

Chang'an City said that it was not a big deal, and the news of Li Su's gift naturally couldn't be concealed from those who cared about it.

Two days later, someone came to the palace and announced that Li Su entered the palace to face the saint.

Li Su's eyelids jumped, he changed into official clothes, and followed the eunuch into the palace with anxiety.

It was still the Manna Palace, and Li Su stepped into the door of the temple tremblingly and saluted respectfully.

Li Shimin was wearing an ordinary style of round-necked yellow robe, the weather was hot, the hem of the yellow robe was old, revealing two hairy thighs, two big feet bare, and two palace maids next to him fanned hard, tired and sweaty, and there were large piles of ice cubes in the four corners of the hall, revealing a little coolness, but Li Shimin was sweating profusely, it seemed that the ice cubes did not play much role.

Hanging his head respectfully, Li Su's mouth pouted imperceptibly.

Tut! As for the emperor, this appearance doesn't look like a real dragon emperor, but it is quite similar to the image of Wang Zhi's smoky ruffians in the market.

"Humph!"

According to the convention, Li Shimin has to hum every time he sees Li Su, and Li Su almost thinks that this is Li Shimin's mantra when he meets.

Picking up the tea bowl on the low table, Li Shimin poured it hard, let out a long breath, and then glanced at him with slanted eyes.

"Zizheng, ah......"

"The minister is here."

"I've heard that you've been quite at ease lately, lying down or sleeping at home every day, fishing in the river or going up to the mountains to hunt rabbits, huh?"

Li Su raised his head and said with a straight face: "Back to Your Majesty, it's definitely a rumor!" ”

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Am I not telling the truth? ”

"Forgive the minister for being rude, it is indeed untrue, there are rabbits on the mountain, but the minister has never gone down to the river to fish! …… But the minister will never go to the river to fish, the sun is so dry, how can the minister find guilt for himself? ”

Li Shimin froze for a moment, and then snorted angrily.

"What about the errand I gave you? Yes? asked you to entertain the Tubo Prime Minister and his party on my behalf, but you threw Lu Dongzan in the Sifang Pavilion and ignored it, is this how you did an errand for me? ”

Li Su hurriedly said: "Your Majesty forgives you, your ...... There is a bitterness. ”

"What's the matter, say!"

Li Su raised his eyes, carefully looked at Li Shimin's face, and then sighed, and said: "Your Majesty must know that a few days ago, the minister's father-in-law was involved in a murder case, and the person was still locked up in Dali Temple. Please also ask Your Majesty to order others to ......"

Li Shimin's face was a little ugly, and he snorted heavily, and said in a calm tone: "I heard it, what do you say to prove your innocence, in fact, you are complaining to me, right?" I also know that your father-in-law's case involves the officials of the Criminal Department, and it is a big trouble, the law is ruthless, if your father-in-law is innocent, the Criminal Department and Dali Temple will not wronged him, his case is him, there is no need for your Li family to make such a grievance gesture, what should you do on weekdays, this case does not involve your Li family, do you understand what I mean? ”

Li Su lowered his head and said, "The minister understands." ”

Li Shimin paused, and his face showed an expression of disgust and disdain: "I also closed the door to thank the guests, and I also proved my innocence, the deputy envoy of Tubo sent a carload of gifts to your house, and you were very happy to receive the gifts, I really have never seen the closed door to thank the guests so shameless as you!"
