Chapter 15 Li Xiao meets his brother-in-law for the first time
In the ancient West, people believed that the will of nature could not be violated, so there were legends about the coming of fire from heaven and Noah's Ark.
In the ancient East, people believed that human will can defeat nature, so there were myths about Nuwa patching up the sky and Houyi shooting down the sun.
Zhang Peng deeply believes that the spiritual strength of unremitting struggle in the face of difficult circumstances will never become outdated in any era.
Li Xiao completed the transportation task and witnessed the completion of the reservoir with his own eyes. At this moment, his admiration for Zhang Peng was as strong as the water of the Yellow River.
"Hello, brother-in-law, I am Li Xiao, and Princess Luanming is my cousin!" Li Xiao walked onto the spacious embankment with a smile, and his first words when he saw Zhang Peng were very enthusiastic.
"The Li family? The prince? King Qiyu?" Zhang Peng was slightly stunned when he saw the middle school boy in front of him, but he quickly came to his senses.
Behind Zhang Peng, Gao Da and Brother Shu Yan heard that this young man was His Royal Highness Prince Yu. They immediately knelt down on one knee to salute, but were stopped by Li Xiao: "Don't make any noise, everyone is busy, don't delay the follow-up work because of me.
."
When Zhang Peng saw Li Xiao for the first time, he seemed to see a large number of talents coming to him.
I am worried about the lack of talents here. A prince of yours actually came to the door on his own initiative. This must be detained, no, it must be retained!
A little kid Li Xiao is nothing, but the teachers, classmates, officials in the government, servants, relatives and friends behind him are the big ones.
This guy seems to really admire me, hahaha, it’s exactly what I want, it’s exactly what I want.
Young man, you are discerning! Stay and my brother-in-law will take you flying!
"Prince Yu? I heard your cousin mention you and say that you are one of the few talents that can be developed among the Li family of the royal family. She also gave me the opportunity to mention you more."
Li Xiao's operation really won Zhang Peng's favor. He immediately relaxed half of his vigilance and softened his tone a lot: "But Your Highness, Prince Yu, why are you here alone?"
"I came with Feng Shilang to announce the decree to my brother-in-law." Li Xiao, who was praised, became even more embarrassed. He subconsciously looked at Latis who was planting saplings along the river, with a hint of embarrassment and shyness on his face, "But
I met Sister Latis, and then I dragged her to see you."
Zhang Peng II was a man. When he saw Li Xiao's expression, he still didn't understand what this kid was thinking. He immediately slapped his head and shook his head and said: "Cousin, listen to my advice. If you have any ideas about that position,
Just don’t mess with Latis.”
Zhang Peng pointed to the sky with a serious expression.
"Ah, I didn't!" Li Xiao quickly denied, "I have no idea about that position!"
Zhang Peng looked at Li Xiao's young and tender face, and then looked at Latis' mature and plump figure. He suddenly felt that it was normal for Li Xiao to have such thoughts. At the same time, he also lamented that children in ancient times were really too precocious.
.
"Well, my cousin can only advise you. If you really like her, don't use your royal power." Zhang Peng found that he had no reason to persuade an imperial prince to like a certain woman, because in this era, although this is not
Reasonable, but legal.
"Ah? Why?" Li Xiao obviously thought Zhang Peng was supporting him and seemed a little excited.
Zhang Peng looked at Li Xiao with pity. He didn't think that Latis would fall in love with a little kid with no hair. If this little cousin really lost his identity as an imperial prince, how far away would he be?
Latis's vision is very different.
Even if we can persevere and impress Latis in the future, it will probably be many years later. Then we can be regarded as a disguised contribution to my cousin's optimized life path of late birth and late childbearing.
"She is a free scholar. If you use imperial power and palace walls to restrain her, she will become a walking corpse," Zhang Peng said with an experienced look, and said earnestly, "To be honest, leave the prince alone."
Regardless of your identity, do you think your current talents and virtues are worthy of others?"
"I, I can learn. In three years or five years, I will definitely become a man with both political integrity and talent!" Li Xiao puffed out his chest and was full of confidence.
Three to five years later? Latis will wait for you for three to five years? Stop making trouble.
But Zhang Peng couldn't bear to hit Li Xiao, an unlucky boy, anymore. Judging from his appearance, he must have been groomed by Latis and had done a lot of hard work. Is this IQ? Tsk tsk tsk...
No wonder Xu Wanyi's face was filled with boredom when she mentioned the royal family. If the royal family were like Li Xiao, then the future of the Great Xia Dynasty would be really worrying.
At this moment, there was a commotion coming from the direction of the brick kiln.
"Gaoda, go and see what happened at the brick kiln factory?" Zhang Peng couldn't see clearly from a distance, so he asked Gaoda to go and investigate.
When he was young, Gao Da came back in a hurry: "Something happened in the newly opened brick kiln. Wang Er, the son of old porcelain maker Wang, was injured!"
"Wang Er?" Zhang Peng recalled for a while and asked uncertainly, "Their family was sent to Beiting to serve as criminal relatives. It was difficult for us to find someone who had experience in making porcelain. Usually he is not very stable.
What? What's going on? Did you do something illegal?"
Gao Shi breathed a sigh of relief: "Uncle, Prince Yu, let's talk as we walk. Didn't you say that you would reward technological innovation when you first built the kiln? That Wang Er has always been thinking about improving the process of firing porcelain. Every few
After Tiangong, he would open a kiln alone, but today his kiln exploded at a critical moment! People were injured!"
"What's Wang Er's condition now?"
"The whole body was burned and hit by ceramic shards in many places. He is unconscious at the moment."
"Okay, Brother Shuyan, hurry up and get the medicine box from my bike frame right away. I'll try my best to save him!"
"promise!"
Ge Shuyan quickly ran towards the princess's mansion, but Li Xiao was a little unconcerned. He looked at Zhang Peng who was speeding up and trotting towards the brick kiln with confusion. He couldn't help asking: "He is just a descendant of criminals, why is my brother-in-law so nervous?"
His life?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Peng immediately stopped, frowned and looked at Li Xiao, and said extremely sternly: "His Royal Highness, if you really think of your people like this from the bottom of your heart, then I don't think so.
Your Li family will not be in power for long!"
"Uncle, be careful what you say!" Gundam hurriedly advised from the side.
"What should you say carefully? The country is based on the people. The king is the boat and the people are the water. The water can carry the boat but also capsize it!" Zhang Peng said angrily and righteously, "The Li family has only been in the country for a few generations.
Their lifeblood is to treat the common people as ants? Why should the Li family, hum!"
After saying that, he ignored His Royal Highness Prince Yu and ran straight towards the brick kiln.
After Li Xiao was so severely refuted, his face turned blue and red. As he grew up, everyone around him was telling him that as a nobleman from Tianhuang, he was born noble and should be supported by all the people.
We should ask for everything from the people!
Water can carry a boat but it can also capsize it? This sentence makes so much sense!
Who is right?
By the time Wang Yu, who was full of questions, arrived at the brick kiln, Zhang Peng had already organized people to move the dying Wang Er to a clean room and drove away the onlookers.
However, since Li Xiao had a special status, Zhang Peng did not specifically drive him away. After all, he was what Xu Wanyi called a "manufacturable talent" and he could not be treated too harshly.
Almost immediately, the captain who was sent to fetch the medicine box also hurried back.
Li Xiao saw Zhang Peng put on a white coat, white silk gloves, a silk mask and a silk hood.
Then he took out a very magical device: a sealed wine jar, with a sealed cowhide tube connected to a blower on one side, and an empty sealed cowhide tube exposed on the other. There was an iron valve installed in front of the blower.
The iron valve is connected to a curiously shaped cork bucket.
Zhang Peng took off the cork bucket and replaced it with a thinner tendon tube. He then held Wang Er's throat with his left hand and the tendon tube with his right hand. He simply inserted the tendon tube into Wang Er's mouth and then gave the order.
Let the Gundam press the blower according to a certain pattern and amplitude.
In the astonished eyes of the people, Wang Er, who had difficulty breathing, recovered his breathing and soon woke up leisurely.
Chapter completed!
