Even though Empress Changsun was happy in her heart, she saw that Li Tai was still proud and said with a solemn expression: "Mother knows that you are serious, so you still have to read books on weekdays. I also heard that your father said that you should read less of those miscellaneous books on the market."
Apparently the queen mother attributed the making of soap to miscellaneous books.
I did read a lot of miscellaneous books because of the egg issue.
Li Tai bowed and said, "My son, please remember your teachings."
Seeing that it was getting late, Li Tai said again: "I will leave first."
Queen Changsun closed her eyes and nodded.
After walking out of the Li Zheng Hall, Li Tai found that Li Chengqian also walked out.
The two brothers each glanced at each other with disgust, then walked in one direction, neither wanting to talk to each other.
After Li Chengqian returned to the East Palace, he asked the attendants around him, "What has King Wei been doing these days?"
The attendant said: "I heard that a workshop was built in a village on the outskirts of Chang'an. It seems to be used to make something."
Li Chengqian looked solemn, "Is it used to make soap?"
The attendant whispered: "The other party's tone is very strict, and the villain will make people stare at him."
There are not many maids in the East Palace, and the East Palace is in a state of disrepair because of the tight budget in the court and the fact that the emperor and his mother have repeatedly reminded them to be diligent and frugal.
The East Palace has always looked like this.
It was already dark, and Li Chengqian looked at the oil lamp in front of him. The cold night wind blew into the East Palace, and the flame of the oil lamp flickered on and off.
The attendant said: "Your Highness, the weather is prone to wind and cold."
After saying this, the attendant closed the window.
After thinking for a long time, Li Chengqian said: "King Wei solved the egg puzzle before, so I thought it was strange."
The attendant frowned and said: "His Royal Highness means..."
Li Chengqian let out a long sigh, "Maybe I'm overthinking it, so I should rest early."
"Here."
Early on the next morning, Li Chengqian left the palace early after listening to the lecture by Li Gang, the prince's tutor.
Followed by his guards, Li Chengqian walked on Zhuque Street.
Passing by Dongshi, I walked into an alley.
Aunt Wang, who was standing at the intersection of the alley, saw someone coming. She stared at the person for a while, and when she saw it was the current prince, she lowered her head and swept the floor as if nothing had happened.
The Queen and Your Majesty have orders to protect the Princess, and Aunt Wang and Aunt Yang will always be vigilant.
Li Yue is struggling with the earthen stove, preparing to light a fire for cooking.
There was a knock on the door outside the courtyard, and Li Yue had no choice but to put down the firewood in her hand and walk to the door.
When he opened the door and saw Li Chengqian, Li Yue saluted and said, "Brother, why are you here?"
Li Chengqian stepped into the courtyard and said, "I came to see you."
I took a look at the yard. It was very clean and there were many things planted in the ground beside the yard wall.
The house has also been renovated.
Li Chengqian said: "Where is your husband?"
Li Yue said: "I went out to catch the early market."
Li Chengqian said: "What a coincidence, I still want to see him."
Li Yue moved a chair and said, "Brother, please sit down."
Li Yue didn't want to return to the palace from the bottom of his heart regarding his own origin. Compared with facing his father, he didn't have so much resistance when facing the prince Li Chengqian.
When his father was still the King of Qin and he was still in the Qin Palace, the elder Li Chengqian took good care of his younger brothers and sisters.
After sitting down, Li Chengqian said: "Have you been feeling better recently?"
Li Yue made a cup of tea for Li Chengqian and said, "I don't think it's bad at all. It's actually better than before."
Li Chengqian took a sip of tea.
Sipping the smell of tea, he added, "When was this house built?"
Li Yue said: "My husband and I practiced this together."
Saying this, Li Yue had pride on her face.
There was some cloth hanging on the eaves. Li Yue looked at it and said, "Brother, can you help me take down that piece of cloth?"
Li Chengqian stepped on the chair and used his hands and feet to take down the cloth hanging from the corner of the eaves.
Li Yue took the piece of cloth and said, "It was blown up by the wind when it was washed and dried."
Li Chengqian said: "Won't your husband help you get it?"
Li Yue held the cloth and said, "With such a high eaves, what if he gets injured?"
Li Chengqian frowned and stood for a long time, not knowing how to answer. After thinking about it, he sighed helplessly.
Look at the walls of the house.
He stretched out his hand and felt the solidity of the wall again.
It is rare to see mortar applied to wall surfaces.
Li Chengqian remembered that similar mortar was used when building houses in the palace.
This kind of mortar was even used when building city walls.
I don’t see ordinary people using this kind of mortar to build houses.
Li Chengqian asked curiously: "Where did he get the mortar to paint the wall?"
Li Yue said: "My husband did it himself."
Li Chengqian looked surprised, does Zhang Yang still have such skills?
Even among the masons in the imperial court, there are only a few craftsmen who can make this kind of mortar.
This craft is rarely spread outside the country.
Seeing two wooden boards hanging on the wall, Li Chengqian saw eight words written on the edge of the board: Nothing is difficult in the world, only those who are willing.
"good sentence."
Seeing this sentence, Li Chengqian couldn't help but admired.
Li Yue said: "This is written by my husband. He always said that if the conditions are difficult, we must overcome them. He said that nothing is difficult in the world, as long as there are people who are willing."
Li Chengqian thought highly of Zhang Yang again, "He actually has such knowledge."
Li Yue continued: "Because my husband studies every few years, we have been studying knowledge these days, and we are afraid that we will not learn well, so my husband wrote this sentence. In fact, there are other sentences besides this."
Li Chengqian asked: "Is there any more?"
Li Yue nodded and turned the board over. The formulas he had written on the board had been erased yesterday because he had to go to class again today and had to write new formulas on it.
There are some words written on the back of the board: The road depends on people, and things depend on people. Don’t be afraid of incompetence, but be afraid of inconsistency.
Li Chengqian looked at it carefully.
It's not a bone-chilling cold, but the plum blossoms are so fragrant.
study hard, improve every day.
Don't wait any longer. The young man's head will turn gray and he will be filled with sorrow.
These words were like a ball of fire, burning up Li Chengqian's heart. It was not a chill to the bones, but the fragrance of plum blossoms was so fragrant.
"well said!"
Li Chengqian praised.
Don't wait any longer. The young man's head will turn gray and he will be filled with sorrow.
The words are concise and every word is precise.
Li Tai was showing off with soap in front of his mother, and Li Chengqian was still a little unconvinced.
Now that he sees these words, Li Chengqian is enlightened.
It felt like my whole person was suddenly enlightened.
Especially this sentence, nothing is difficult in the world, only those who are willing can do it.
It really expresses the confusion that Gu has been having these days. Yes, there are many difficulties in this world.
It's not a bone-chilling cold, but how can you get the fragrance of plum blossoms? If you don't experience the bitter cold, how can you achieve success?
Standing in front of the wooden board, Li Chengqian looked at these words and felt like he was reborn. At this moment, he felt full of energy.
So what if Li Tai is proud?
You should cherish the moment when you are alone, study hard, and don’t wait for a while. It’s so sad to have a gray head!
