Chapter 1970 Carry the barrel paint and go to the palace gate to write down the arrears and repay the money
"Okay!" Li Mingda nodded vigorously, turned his bright eyes, and said towards this old man with a strange mind. "Grandpa is so kind to me."
"Hahaha, that's necessary, just do it. Why doesn't Erlang say anything?"
Li Shimin, whose eyelids were twitching wildly, wiped his face vigorously, took a deep breath and replied.
"...Father, don't worry, I will tell someone to take care of it later."
Cheng Sanlang looked at the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty with a dark look on his face. His exotic charm could be destroyed at the drop of a hat...
Sure enough, as the old saying goes, it's not the old who get bad, it's the bad who get old.
Concubine Yuwen and Empress Changsun, who were behind, were muttering something in a low voice. The two elders with picturesque features also had strange smiles.
According to Cheng Sanlang's original plan, the Palace of Nations Garden not only built buildings, but also fountains and various sculptures, but none of them have been completed yet.
Even so, those characteristic buildings full of exotic customs really opened the eyes of Li Yuan and his family.
The area of the Wan Guoyuan Palace is several times that of the previous Dacheng Palace.
It is no smaller than the Yong'an Palace in Chang'an that Li Shimin planned to house for his biological father Li Yuan.
We only walked less than a third of the way, and it took us almost half an hour.
Seeing his father's unfinished expression but already looking tired, Li Shimin quickly stepped forward, stretched out his hand to support his father and asked in a low voice.
"Father, what do you think? If there is anything inappropriate, please let me know clearly so that that guy Cheng Sanlang can quickly correct it."
Li Yuan turned around and saw Li Mingda's great-grandson holding Li Xiang's hand side by side.
Cheng Sanlang was muttering something unknown there, making his daughter-in-law smile like a flower.
"To be honest, they are all very good. Visiting this palace is like visiting all the countries in the world.
I am very satisfied, but don’t let that kid hear this, otherwise, he will have to drift away."
Li Shimin turned his head and saw his daughter's smiling face.
Cheng Sanlang noticed his intimidating gaze and quickly smiled to please him.
Then he withdrew his gaze with some displeasure. Indeed, we couldn't let this kid wander.
"Brother Cheng San, can I tell my grandpa?" Li Mingda looked at Cheng Sanlang with bright eyes and asked.
Cheng Sanlang chuckled and raised his eyebrows.
"Of course there is no problem. I originally wanted to surprise your grandpa today."
Li Mingda smiled brightly, ran quickly between his father and grandfather, and whispered excitedly.
"Grandpa, let me tell you quietly, Brother Cheng San has prepared a very special gift for you. This is not even on the architectural drawings..."
Li Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up and he couldn't help asking subconsciously.
"Oh? What kind of special gift would it be to get me a hot spring here?"
"No, no, brother Cheng San built a crystal palace for you, grandpa."
"Crystal Palace?" Li Shimin and Li Yuan, father and son, couldn't help repeating this sentence with a look of astonishment on their faces.
What do you mean? Is it possible that this guy is so extravagant that he uses crystals to build a palace?
When they think of a palace made entirely of crystal pillars, crystal walls, and crystal tiles, even Li Yuan and his son can't help but be a little stunned.
"Yeah, brother Cheng San said..."
#####
After a while, Cheng Sanlang was also called to Li Yuan, and Li Yuan couldn't wait to ask.
"Cheng Sanlang, Xiao Sizi said that you used crystals to build a palace?"
Facing the eyes of the Li family and his son, Cheng Sanlang nodded and replied.
"Yes, but it is not a real natural crystal, but is made using Western glaze manufacturing technology."
"Although it is called the Crystal Palace, in fact there are still many places where other building materials are used. After all, if all Western Regions colored glaze is used, I am worried that it will be in danger."
Li Ke, who didn't know when he came over, quickly offered his help.
"Grandpa Huang, although not all of it is made of Western Region colored glaze, the entire palace is absolutely beautiful, just like a fairyland."
Although Li Yuan was already a little tired, his curiosity was aroused and he really wanted to appreciate it.
"Hearing what you said, I really got excited. Please show me the way wherever you are."
Seeing that his father was so interested, it was hard for Li Shimin to stop him, not to mention that he himself was also very interested.
Seeing that Li Yuan agreed, Cheng Sanlang glanced at Li Ke, and the buddy hurried forward.
"Grandpa has been shopping for so long. There are still several miles from here to the Crystal Palace. Why don't grandpa take a bus?"
Li Yuan looked at Li Ke suspiciously, and then glanced at the sneaky Cheng Sanlang.
"Are you guys causing trouble again?"
"No, no, absolutely not. The minister and His Highness definitely have good intentions and want to invite the Emperor to experience the latest four-wheeled carriage developed by our Han and Tang Trading Company."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li De's urging could be heard, as well as the intensive sound of hoofbeats coming from far and near.
Soon, all the Li family members, who were visiting the Wan Guoyuan Palace for the first time, all widened their eyes in unison.
"Wow! Grandpa, daddy, look, it's so beautiful..." Li Mingda looked at the approaching carriage with bright eyes.
There are five carriages, and each carriage has a very unique shape. The first one is painted a beautiful golden yellow, which is very similar to the carriages that strolled around Youdong Garden in later generations, but the shape is stylish.
It is a rich Chinese style.
The second car is a beautiful rose red, the third is a true red, the fourth is a low-key maroon, and the fifth is a relatively rare blue.
"Are these painted?" Li Shimin looked at the carriages of different colors with some surprise.
"Yes, uncle, these paint colors are all new colors carefully developed by our old craftsmen from the Han and Tang Dynasties."
Cheng Chubi looked at these carriages of different colors with great pleasure. Fortunately, in this era, except for black, purple and red, there were no strict regulations on the use of other colors.
Well, even if there are strict regulations, I only produce paint, and it’s not like I have to carry buckets of paint to the palace gate and write slogans such as repaying unpaid wages, which is a matter of course.
Li Yuan strode forward, and soon, the Tang Dynasty Emperor couldn't help but let out a low cry.
"Wait a minute, these, these car windows are actually inlaid with crystal pieces?"
Cheng Sanlang's eyes bulged exaggeratedly when he saw Li Yuan, His Majesty the Supreme Emperor, who had no moral ethics. He felt extremely satisfied and smiled very reservedly.
"Your Majesty, these are not crystal pieces, but transparent colored glaze made from Western Region glaze."
Cheng Sanlang quickly walked to the carriage, opened the field-shaped window in a conspicuous manner, and glanced at the stunned royal family members.
When they met Li Ke's eyes, both of them showed a hint of greed, oh no... they didn't like money very much.
