There are one or twenty "ice houses" in Xinnan City, the imperial capital, and most of the ice cubes are saved in cold weather, and the ice cellars are dug very deeply, and some of them can be traced back to the Northern Zhou Dynasty. In addition to these, there are also some that make their own ice, because there is glass, it is easier to get out of the ice, but the price is extremely expensive, that is, the rich are willing to show off their wealth.

At the beginning of summer, it is the season of eating ice in Luoyang. In the old years, there were not many, but now because the two capitals are rich, as long as the people in the land of Gyeonggi are most likely able to touch five, six, seven or eight languages to taste it, and this money is not a problem to mix a few days to eat well.

Compared with previous years, Xinnan City is more and more lively, after the embankment is repaired on the riverside, a new observation deck is hung with the name of "Long Pavilion", but the people who can go to this Long Pavilion are either rich or expensive.

Next to the observation deck is an ice house.

The ice room is a pavilion, there are nine vermilion lacquer pillars, each pillar has a dragon coiled, the pavilion cover is glazed green tiles, white marble railings and steps, and there are fine carvings, quite elegant.

Such a slightly pompous and cheesy pavilion is quite good in the mouths of the people of Luoyang. It is said that the "Nine Dragons Ice Room" is very magnificent, and some of the poor children who learned to create a French style under the disciples of Wang also often operate charcoal and draw sketches for people, and their revenue reputation is good.

"His Royal Highness built the ice room, and he really has a unique vision here."

"This king is just a matter of interest."

Li Tai, who was slightly chubby, smiled and invited Li Feng, who was dressed in vulgar clothes, to admonish, "Li Jun, please take a seat." ”

"Your Highness."

Li Fengjie nodded slightly, and then sat on the polished and smooth stone bench, although he did not squint, he also secretly looked at Li Tai who was smiling.

"Li Jun doesn't know what to think? This king was ordered by the emperor to supervise the construction of the Luoyang Museum, and was willing to be invited to the post of chief secretary. ”

After that, Li Tai stretched out his fat hand that was slightly baby fat, stopped what Li Fengjie was about to say, and smiled, "This king knows that Li Jun is not obsessed with official and layman, but when this king is employing people, the dynasty is changing with each passing day, how can ordinary mediocre people keep up with the surging trend?" When Li Jun was in Chang'an, he could be described as 'brave and diligent', and he practiced diligently for ten years, which was better than before! ”

Li Fengjie was a little puzzled for a while, he didn't understand why Li Tai was suddenly so enthusiastic, of course, Li Tai was also enthusiastic before, and he always wanted to invite him to become a staff member of the Wei Palace.

Not only did he Li Fengjie, but even Zhang De paid attention to it, but Li Tai was not taboo at all, and even Chang He's nephew dared to solicit him.

It's just that like him, Chang Ming politely declined Li Tai's invitation.

In the past, the son of a meritorious hero, if he was not a descendant and wanted to seek a background, he could not rise to the top if he was not a nobleman. Nowadays, it is very different, if there is no career pursuit, there are countless adventures outside the two capitals, compared to ordinary people who want to gamble their lives and net worth, most people only need courage.

"Your Royal Highness is so beloved, I dare not be a ......"

Li Fengjie saluted slightly, obviously another refusal, but Li Tai was still calm, as if he didn't care, and replied indifferently: "Virtue is not good, you can't summon Yingjie, only self-reflection." ”

Just talking about the amount of equipment in front of him, if he is a bystander, even if he is expected to be a "hypocrite", he is afraid that he will also contribute. At least the boss who can act like this will not be badly paid.

And Li Tai did not use the same words as others to deceive, he did not talk about ideals and dreams with Li Fengjie, but directly stated that he was willing to take the position of "main secretary" and wait for the vacant position.

The project presided over by the prince, the seven-rank official, is not bad at all.

Let's not mention the treatment first, let's talk about the future, how many princes can still follow Li Shimin's side at the moment? Counting Li Yuan's sons, the prince of Luoyang who has sexual ability and can enter and leave the palace can be counted on one hand.

"Your Highness's forgiveness of sins is not arrogant and rude, but it is only by admonishing that you can be despicable. In the words of my brother in the old years, it's just 'we still need to work hard'. ”

Speaking of this, Li Tai was stunned, he naturally knew who the brother Li Fengjie was talking about, but he didn't mention the name, but instead glanced at the maid at the end of the steps: "Bing is here." Tai will use ice as wine today and feast Li Jun. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Li Fengjie still did not agree to Li Tai, but this did not prevent Li Tai's reputation from continuing to rise, even Li Fengjie himself thought that there was nothing wrong with Li Tai's behavior.

Although Xinnan City is extravagant, it is still a mixture of fish and dragons, and the smell of copper coins is stronger.

Most of the ice houses where ordinary people can go for recreation are teahouses, which rise to the third or fifth floors on the ground, and hang a banner with the word "ice" on the street shop to let people know what they can sell here.

"Brother Ji, let's have a bowl of tea, iced, sweetened, sweetened!"

"The old customers are not treated, and this is coming." The guy who ran the hall was not very old, about twelve or thirteen years old, and he was a little delicate, but his hands and feet were nimble, and after a while, he put the sweetened iced tea on the table.

"Ri Niang, how to eat tea and sweetened ......"

"What the hell is going on with you? If I want to eat a piece of candy in my hometown, I have to ride a horse for a day, and I have to eat tea and sugar to make your guy pay? ”

"I don't give money, but I haven't seen such a bad thing."

"I'm rich, you bite me?"

“……”

For a while, the teahouse couldn't stop snickering, but I heard a table of tea guests whispering there: "Hey, did you hear that Yangzhou Mingjing?" Someone brought it to the capital. ”

"Who got it? Is it the brute with the surname Qian? ”

"Shh......h Tell Lao Tzu a little bit, don't you know that there is a plainclothes forbidden army in Xinnan City? ”

"Oh, yes, yes, I'm a pig."

The person who said the wrong thing hurriedly patted his head, and then whispered, "The surname Qian really got it in public?" ”

"It's strange to say, if you want to say that the surname Qian made it, it is indeed the official ship of the Lijin Yamen. But here's the question, who is the surname Qian, I don't know yet? If he really got cheap, everyone who can't make trouble will know it? ”

"Huh? Speaking of which, yes, there is no news. ”

"I heard that this Yangzhou mirror, someone bought it at five times the price."

"Five, five...... 5,000?! ”

Holding out five fingers, the man looked down, "My ...... mother"

"! Six thousand! It's five times more, five times more! ”

"Six thousand kans!"

The tea guests who pricked up their ears unanimously pricked up their ears.

"But if you want me to say, don't say 6,000, 10,000 won't be sold. This Yangzhou mirror, the only one, is scarce and expensive, it is to give the beauty time, and then change hands, is it afraid that you will not meet a rich guy? ”

"That's right, it's still Boss Qian's means."

"Brother, hurry up, isn't it Boss Qian?"

The man who spoke had a smug face: "You don't believe it, I have a sister who works in the Amway garment shop, I heard that this Yangzhou mirror is to be dedicated to that ......."

As he spoke, the man pointed his finger upward, and then lowered his voice: "It is His Royal Highness the King of Wei who is offering it!" ”
