The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

How could something that could attract Li Shimin's attention be an ordinary item?

"Thank you." Li Fu nodded slightly.

"Your Highness, the things have been delivered, and I will take people back to report." The eunuch also bowed slightly.

"Okay, go back and tell His Majesty that the things sent to the palace will be prepared soon, and ask him to send someone to pick them up tomorrow." Li Fu said.

It's just that there is no need to send people to the palace anymore.

It's also very troublesome to go to the palace to dispatch people every time.

But even so, Li Fu can't expand the number of guards in the mansion. He is just a county prince, and there are regulations on the number of guards in the mansion. The maximum number cannot exceed 40, and the number of personal guards is no more than 15.

Exceeding this number is an overstep.

The eunuch and the people behind him saluted Li Fu and left the Jingyang Palace.

Li Fu opened the gun wrapped in cloth.

The tip of the gun was shining coldly, which was intimidating.

Li Fu looked at the gun head carefully and realized that the so-called iron was already a kind of steel.

It is said that steel is forged through repeated tempering. Just this gun head may require a blacksmith to spend countless time and energy.

The gun head material has a spiral pattern, which is caused by repeated beating.

"It is really a good thing." Li Fu showed a happy smile on his face.

Li Fu rewrapped the gun and handed it to Lao Zhao who was standing beside him.

"Keep it well. I will visit the British public in the afternoon. Are the gifts ready?" Li Fu asked.

"I have selected them, and the tea you specially asked for is also wrapped." Lao Zhao said: "The list of gifts, I asked Xiao Tao to put it in your study."

"Yes." Li Fu nodded and turned to the study.

This matter needs to be confirmed quickly.

In the morning, Ma Zhou went to visit Yan Lide.

It was still Lao Zhao who was in charge of the preparations.

It was just a normal visit, so there was no need to prepare a generous gift like Li Fu was going to the Duke of England's house.

Li Fu came to the study, sat down, picked up the gift list on the table, and read it carefully.

Six jars of wine...

This old Zhao is good at doing things.

Li Fu smiled as he read, and then continued to read.

There is no need to say much about the food made in the kitchen, and then there are tea leaves, cloth, exquisite porcelain tea sets and so on.

There were three carts of things.

After reading the gift list, Li Fu thought about it and didn't miss anything, so it was fine.

After lunch, Li Fu asked Old Zhao to pack up everything, and he was going to visit the Duke of England's house.

Li Fu took a carriage, followed by Wu Liangye and other guards, and took three carts of things behind, so he went to the Duke of England's house.

When he arrived at the door, Li Fu gave the visiting card and the gift list to the doorman.

"Please report that Li Fu, the King of Jingyang, is here to visit." Li Fu said to the doorman politely.

After all, it was the home of his savior, and he came to visit, so he had to be nicer even to the doorman.

"Your Highness, please wait a moment, I will report it right away." The doorman bowed and responded.

He ran all the way to find his master.

Li Ji was reading in the study when the housekeeper came.

"Master, someone outside the door sent a visiting card, saying that the King of Jingyang came to visit, and along with the visiting card, there was also a gift list." The housekeeper said.

"Let me see." Li Ji frowned and said to the housekeeper, "Is the visitor the King of Jingyang himself?"

"Of course, the other party told our doorman that."

Hearing this, Li Ji hurriedly said to the housekeeper, "Please ask someone to come in and wait in the hall. I will go over and serve tea."

"Yes." The housekeeper bowed and responded.

Li Ji opened the visiting card in the study. The content was nothing more than gratitude to the girl of the Duke of Ying for saving her life, and she came to visit with gifts today.

The signature was King of Jingyang Li Huairen, and there was the seal of King of Jingyang.

There was also a dense list of gifts.

Li Ji didn't have time to look at it more, just a rough glance.

Although it was just a rough glance, it could be seen that King of Jingyang gave a generous gift.

It was really thoughtful.

Li Ji sighed slightly.

He also guessed that since the emperor summoned him to Da'an Palace to talk about this matter, His Royal Highness Prince Jingyang would definitely come to visit him in the future.

Perhaps, this matter was originally inquired by the two majesties for Prince Jingyang.

Whatever, now it seems that it is not a bad thing.

Li Ji stood up and walked into the hall.

At the door, the housekeeper personally went out to greet him and respectfully invited Li Fu into the house.

After Li Fu entered Li Ji's house, he was also curious about the layout of the house.

Li Ji was very good at leading troops in battle.Well, in Li Fu's cognition, he automatically classified them as military generals.

But the military generals of the Tang Dynasty were not all like Yuchi Gong and Cheng Yaojin, who were big and strong and had muscles all over their bodies.

Like Li Ji and Li Jing, they were more like Confucian generals.

They were both civil and military.

In the Tang Dynasty, especially during the Zhenguan period, the civil officials and military generals were very interesting. They were not good at just one thing. For example, Cheng Yaojin was also from a noble family, and he was also good at both civil and military.

Cheng Yaojin didn't like reading and didn't like the way of literati, but it didn't mean that he had never read books.

He just didn't like the literary style of literati.

And the pure civil officials of the Tang Dynasty, like Changsun Wuji, were not just civil officials. He also led troops to fight.

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others were all like this.

It can be said that the development of court officials was relatively balanced.

Perhaps it was in this way that a prosperous era was created.

Li Fu remembered that during the Zhenguan period, there were constant disasters, both large and small.

While dealing with disasters and fighting wars all around, under such circumstances, the national strength could still achieve steady growth and the population could still prosper. It must be said that Li Erfeng and his ministers were really excellent.

Li Fu followed the housekeeper into the hall, and the maid brought the brewed tea.

The gifts he brought were all handed over to Li Ji's housekeeper, except for two that Li Fu brought directly to the hall.

One was tea, which Li Fu took personally.

The other was the good gun that Li Fu found for Li Shao, which was held in Wu Liangye's hand. Wu Liangye followed Li Fu and the housekeeper.

After Li Fu entered the hall, Wu Liangye stood silently behind Li Fu.

Not long after, Li Ji also came.

After seeing Li Ji, Li Fu hurriedly stood up.

After the two sides greeted each other, they sat down.

The front hall of Li Ji's house also uses new furniture, with an eight-immortal table on the top, a vase on the table, and two armchairs next to it.

There are three chairs on the left and right below, separated by a small square table with high legs in the middle, so that it is convenient to serve tea to guests.

It is also more comfortable to sit and chat like this.
