I subconsciously took it in my hand and swiped it, and my mouth still spit out the words according to my moral standards: "Oh, Your Royal Highness the Prince, what are you doing, you are really embarrassed by this." ”

"Where, since we have already met, we are friends, as friends, a little gift, will I Belus take it back?" I felt ashamed of the Persian prince's righteous expression and words, and I should not doubt the fragile heart of the Persian prince's thirst for friendship.

When I returned home, I summoned my four beautiful ladies and women to the top floor of the Twin Towers, and carefully and slowly opened the slightly heavy wooden box, and the green butterfly couldn't help but exclaim, it turned out to be a whole box of yellow gold, no wonder it was so heavy, I am afraid that there are almost ten catties here.

However, as far as gold is concerned, we are not surprised, and Li Shu and the palace maid sister and others are just bright-eyed. Li Shu giggled: "The concubine knows that our handsome man's ability to make money is really not small, even the Prince of Persia, you dare to take it, so you are not afraid to let others go to your father to say what you are?" ”

"What are you afraid of? That Persian prince can be generous, not only for my husband, but for each person such a box, that guy, the thief is rich, hehe, but not only those, but also for the husband, I don't know what treasures are in this small box. I proudly lifted the palm-sized wooden box in my hand and placed it in the center of the table, and slowly opened the lid of the box.

Suddenly, the room was filled with the sound of inhalation, Li Shu's face was about to twitch and deformed, and the big eyes that were originally bright and bright were now almost dripping into the wooden box. On the side, there are all kinds of well-cut gemstones, emeralds, sapphires, rubies, and even purple rubies, topazes and opals, which are quite rare varieties, and even diamonds have several pieces. The largest of the three Qingdao gems is a perfect pure blue, reflecting the bright light, and the perfectly cut gemstones and diamonds are as bright and dazzling as the stars in the sky.

"Toshiro, you must have robbed the Persian prince of all his belongings, right?" Cheng Luanluan's voice trembled, and it took a long time for his fingers to take out a ruby the size of a thumb nail from the box, and looked under his eyelids to take a closer look.

Hearing this, I laughed out loud: "Rob? Is your husband the kind of person who sees money? If this is preached, others will still think that the husband is the kind of hypocrite who forgets justice for personal gain. ”

------------------------------------------------ these words suddenly came to a room full of laughter, each mother-in-law had a gem in her palm, and carefully rubbed it against the light to watch, and the palace maid sister struggled to take her eyes off the opal in her hand, and gently dragged me: "Junlang, the prince of Persia gave you such a generous gift, I'm afraid it's not as simple as a meeting gift, right?" ”

"Hehe, Zhao'er really has insight, this Persian prince wants to let his husband mediate from it, and he can move His Majesty to support Persia and small countries to resist the attack and annexation of Dashi." I picked up a piece of diamond, this thing, or the first time this son saw it in the Tang Dynasty, I don't know if it's true or not, walked to the door, on a piece of stained glass inlaid on the wall lightly, squeaked, sure enough, a deep trace suddenly appeared on the glass.

I don't know if a man wearing a diamond ring will cause disagreement, I looked at the diamond that was bigger than my little finger and thought. "The Persian prince was thinking too simply, wasn't he? Thousands of miles away, if my father really sent troops to go so far? What are the benefits? Li Shu snorted at the Persian prince's request.

"Yes!" I reluctantly put the diamond back in the box, slapped it and smiled: "It just depends on how much benefit the Persians can give us Datang." That's why your father asked me to greet His Royal Highness the Prince of Persia, and when I came, I asked what these people wanted to do? These two come on, just have to touch, what hole cards these people have, or how much benefit he can bring to my Datang. Nowadays, there are not no people who want to take advantage of our Datang's preference, but my Datang's preference, isn't it so easy to occupy? ”

The palace maid sister played with the opal in her hand and smiled lightly: "After listening to Junlang's words, the concubine body was shocked, think about my Tang Dynasty, a few years ago compared with today, whether it is internal political affairs or external attitudes in the court, it seems that there has been a change, and this change is so big that it is beyond the expectations of the concubine, not to mention the attitude towards the outside world, according to what Junlang said, it seems that the world is the enemy, and every country has exchanges, it must be profit-first." ”

"Again, this is a change for the better." I smiled and nodded to the palace maid, took the tea handed by Wan'er on the side and took a sip: "Could it be that my Tang Dynasty wants to learn from the Buddha and sacrifice himself to feed eagles?" Datang is not like the Buddha who abandoned his wife and children, only one person played a bachelor, Datang, is on behalf of the happiness of my tens of millions of people in China, can not sacrifice their own interests for others, if that is the case, is this still for the well-being of my Tang people? ”

"Well, Junlang's words are reasonable, originally, just like our family, we can't give away all our family's money and silk for the sake of food and clothing for others, so that the children will be cold and hungry, in that case, if you don't talk about others, I'm afraid the children won't agree." Although Li Shu's metaphor is a bit of something, it is quite appropriate.

"Junlang, let's divide some of these things among our sisters, and leave some for my mother, second sister, and eldest sister. Do you say that? Li Shuzheng greedily clasped her hands on the box, like a vixen calculating that her prey would be enough for her to eat a few bites. I waved my hand: "What's the matter, remember to leave one for my mother's eldest sister and second sister, by the way, the diamond is reserved for my husband, that thing can be useful." ”

"Aren't these the gold diamonds that are usually used to make jade in our jewelry shop? It's just a little bigger than the ones in the store, not even the color, how different can it be from the crystal and glass pieces produced by our family, and I don't want that thing to give to the concubine. Li Shu raised his chin proudly, I shook my head helplessly, this girl understands that future generations will treat diamonds as treasures, but our mother-in-law ...... Yes, it's better if you don't like it, we can really use this thing for diamonds, at least for cutting glass and all kinds of jade and gemstones, and it can be regarded as making the best use of things.

"By the way, today, I have seen a foreign dance for my husband, come and come, listen to my husband and tell you in detail, that dance, but it has a great history, according to legend, there is a young woman with a very good figure, who can not have children after marriage, and came to the temple to pray......"

"That's what the prince of Persia said." I sat in front of Uncle Li, waiting for Uncle Li to speak, but Uncle Li didn't say a word, his fingers tapped lightly on the desk, and he said to himself for a long time: "It seems that Persia did make Da Shi very embarrassed, otherwise, he would not have come to my Datang for help in such a low voice." ”

"My father-in-law saw that although Persia withstood the attack of the Great Eclipse, the younger son-in-law thought that the Great Eclipse would definitely not give up. Moreover, although Persia joined forces with the surrounding countries to defend against a strong enemy, if the people of insight could not move their troops and adopt the strategy of long-distance friendship and close attack, Persia would inevitably be destroyed. ”

------------------------------------------------, "Hehe, there is some truth in what the virtuous son-in-law said, but not all of those Yuanfan are unwise people. However, Persia also made a lot of money, and the horses and gold alone made the old man red. Uncle Li sighed with emotion: "However, if the Persian prince really wants to ask the old man to send troops thousands of miles away, it will be too difficult for a little bit, after all, Dashi is so far away from my Tang Dynasty, and it is really unreasonable to raise an unrighteous army, and when the time comes, it will provoke those ministers in the court to chew their tongues." ”

Looking at Uncle Li's scratching, it makes sense to think about it, such a generous tribute, and it is meat sent to the mouth, those Arab horses and sweaty horses made Uncle Li, the emperor who was obsessed with horses, almost drip saliva, Uncle Li didn't accept it. But if you don't do it, it's even more unreasonable.

"Father-in-law, in fact, the son-in-law thinks that since the Persians and those thousands of miles away have come to pay tribute, these gifts represent their respect for my Tang Dynasty and their worship of the prestige of the Heavenly Khan, and their income is no hindrance, but their requirements, the son-in-law thinks that there are also things that can be discussed." I touched my chin and whispered.

"Oh? What is the opinion of a virtuous son-in-law? Uncle Li glanced back at me, "Gao Jian didn't have it, but I had an idea in my heart for the time being, but it was not complete, please let my father-in-law let my son-in-law think about it again, in addition, my son-in-law also wants to explore the hole cards of the Persian prince again, and take a look, if my Datang really sends troops, what benefits can I have, or in other words, what benefits can I have for Datang." I said respectfully to Uncle Li.

"Interests, well, hehe, anyway, this matter is not in a hurry, and if you want to be in a hurry, you can deal with the Persian prince more, and when the time comes, if you have an idea, you will tell the old man, and then it will not be too late to make a conclusion." Uncle Li nodded.
