Chapter 9: Li Yin's princess sisters
"Xizi!" Li Min turned his head in surprise. The five-year-old girl was the princess of Jinyang born by Empress Changsun, nicknamed Sizi. The other three were also his half-sisters. Princess Li Yue, Princess Changle Li Lizhi, and Princess Qinghe Li Jing were all present, and they all looked at the boat where Li Yin was with great interest.
"Sixth brother!" The other three people also walked up to the bow, and called out sweetly to Li Yin who was sitting in the painting boat.
A group of prodigal children seemed to have lost their souls long ago when they saw such beauties, and they were all over the place. After seeing these beauties calling Li Yin six brothers, a thought flashed through their minds.
Xiao Rui was the first to react, and instantly transformed into a personable gentleman, stood up and saluted respectfully, "The son of the current prime minister Xiao Yu, Xiao Rui sees Your Highness the Princess!"
"Lu Boyan, the son of the Minister of Industry, joins Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
"..."
One sound was louder than another, and only Cheng Huailiang was still drunk, still playing with his rolling pin. Everyone quickly kept their distance from him, lest the princesses think they were with him.
"So it's my sisters!" Li Yin stood up, lightly jumped on the opposite wall, and picked up his son who was like a porcelain doll. The relationship between them is very good, and under the influence of Li Yin's memory, he is also very kind to these younger sisters.
"Brother Six, do you still have your shampoo?" Sizi in his arms asked with big round eyes.
"Yes, what's the matter, son!" Li Yin scratched her little nose and asked.
Chang Le covered her mouth lightly, and said with a smile: "It's not because she was naughty, she broke all the empress's shampoo, and she was afraid of being scolded by her mother, so today she made a fuss about going to the lake with us, she thought she could escape her mother's scolding Woolen cloth."
Xiangcheng and Qinghe nodded and chuckled, expressing their agreement.
Li Yin laughed, and said: "It turns out that's the case. Don't worry, Sizi. My brother will send someone to the mansion to pick up a few boxes and send them to the palace. He will say that Sizi gave it to the queen. In this way, Sizi will not worry about it." will be scolded!"
"Thank you Sixth Brother, Sixth Brother loves my son the most!"
Changle, Xiangcheng and Qinghe suddenly became unhappy, they all pouted, Xiangcheng said: "Sixth brother is really biased, he knows that he loves Sizi, so he doesn't care about us!"
"Look at my brain, it's my brother's fault, give it all, give it all, Brother Six treats all sisters equally." Li Yin said with a bitter face.
"Hee hee..." The plot succeeded, and the girls laughed, and the "talented scholars" who watched showed their "wolf" looks again.
"Brother, who is that person? Why is it so strange?" Qinghe didn't speak for a while, and looked at Cheng Huailiang, thinking it was very interesting.
Li Yin followed the direction of Qinghe's finger and glanced at Cheng Huailiang, the idiot, and said, "He is Cheng Huailiang, the second son of General Cheng Yaojin, and he is performing the Thirty-Six Axes of Tiangang!"
"So it's the heir of old general Cheng!" Qinghe smiled with his lips pursed. He was so beautiful that it made all the prodigals gasp, wishing that he could replace Cheng Huailiang, so that the princess could take another look at him.
The wolves were left alone for a long time, and they were all anxious. They could meet the princess because there was smoke from the ancestral grave. They all hoped to take this opportunity to show their face in front of the princess. They all wanted to jump on the opposite boat. But there is a difference between respect and inferiority, they still dare not act recklessly, they just hold the hope that the princess can invite him graciously.
"When my elder brother went to Xiangzhou for several months, my sisters missed him very much. Why don't you swim the lake with us today!" Princess Xiangcheng said, and the other girls nodded.
Li Yin hesitated for a moment, and said: "Today I came with a few friends, it would be bad to leave them behind!"
Xizi pouted and said, "Isn't it enough to let them come together? Our boat is huge!"
The wolves were excited for a while, but Sizi was a child after all, and the final decision was still in the hands of the older princesses.
The three girls looked at each other, Xiangcheng was the oldest and also the most sensible. These people are the heirs of the founding veterans, and they had to care about their face, saying: "What Sizi said is true, brother just take them along!"
The folk customs in the Tang Dynasty were open, and it was normal for men and women to play together. The younger sisters didn't mind, and this matter was not offensive, and they could take care of both parties. Li Yin couldn't say anything, and said: "Everyone , the princess cordially invites you to board the ship!".
When everyone heard the words, they all showed joy, and all of them boarded the boat in a stately manner, and even Cheng Huailiang was pulled up.
Xiao Rui brought a group of unscrupulous children to set up a banquet at the bow of the boat, while Li Yin was dragged into the cabin by several younger sisters. They lived in the palace all the time, and it was only as far as the Qujiang River. Li Yin After being a state official in Xiangzhou for a few months, they all clamored to hear Li Yin talk about outside affairs.
Li Yan didn't do anything good in Xiangzhou before, so he couldn't tell his sisters about bullying men and women, which greatly affected his glorious image in their hearts.
After thinking for a while, Li Yin said: "The things in Xiangzhou are very boring, let me tell you some interesting stories!"
Xi Zi is the youngest, clapping his hands and saying: "Okay, Si Zi likes listening to stories the most."
"Okay, today I will tell you a story about a garden gardener who met a fairy at night. The opening poem says: The chaimen is closed by the wind and rain all night, and only the crimson willows are left. If you want to sweep the moss and stop the broom, the dots in front of the steps are Huahen. This story is about a priest named Cui..."
The story told by Li Yin comes from "Xing Shi Heng Yan" compiled by Feng Menglong in the Ming Dynasty. The moral of this story is to make people cherish flowers and love flowers. There is so much longing, this story naturally coincides with the daydreams of people of this era, and with Li Yin's embellishments, the girls are fascinated by it.
After a story was told, the girls were still unsatisfied, and they clamored for Li Yin to tell another one, unable to resist the pleas of his sisters, so Li Yin had to compromise. Who would have thought that at this moment, a drake-like voice suddenly rang out from the bow of the boat? Get up, "There is a river in front of the boat, the river is blue, and four or five white geese jumped into the river with a plop!"
"Wonderful, wonderful, Brother Boyan really recites a good poem, which makes me feel ashamed!" Young Master Jia praised, and put the twelve taels of silver that Lu Boyan gave him into his pocket.
Lu Boyan was standing at the bow of the boat, facing the cabin, the summer wind blew his skirt, so chic, he said triumphantly: "Where, where, my work, my work!"
It turned out that when Li Yin and his sisters entered the cabin, the young masters suddenly lost their enthusiasm. After holding back for a long time, they finally came up with an idea of drinking and poetry. These guys have long wanted to show off in front of the princess, and they are worried There was no way to vent their anger, so the proposal was passed immediately.
Lv Boyan's hand was so wet, Xiao Rui stood up again, cleared his throat, and contemptuously swept around the sons and brothers who were also looking at him with contempt, just like a group of bulls who have seen red.
"You Qujiang You Qujiang, there are lotus flowers in the Qujiang Lake, and the toads are jumping on the lotus flowers, bouncing, bouncing, bouncing!" Xiao Rui finished singing, squinting his eyes, still intoxicated in his own lust.
The young masters took turns to join the battle, and each was wetter than the other. In the cabin, except for Sizi, who didn't understand poetry, Li Yin's younger sisters were all laughing.
Li Yin's face is dull, these guys are with him no matter what, really embarrassing to the Taihang Mountains, even if he doesn't understand poetry, he understands how bad their poems are, thanks to them, they allow themselves to be talented.
Young masters have been listening to the movement in the cabin, and heard the bursts of laughter inside, thinking that their poems satisfied the princesses, so they worked harder.
Enduring the noise outside, Li Yin told the story of "The Romance of the West Chamber" to the four younger sisters. The three older sisters were all cardamom years, and the young girl Huaichun was immediately attracted by what Li Yin said...
Unknowingly, the sun was in the middle of the day, and the cabin was getting hotter and hotter. Li Yin looked at the sun and said to the four younger sisters: "It's already noon, and you should go back."
Only a small part of Li Yin's story was told, and the four girls all had a bitter face, very unhappy, but the rules in the palace forced them to go back, so they were very unhappy until Li Yin promised to give them the next time. When they continued to talk, they reluctantly let the boatman dock.
Xiao Rui and Lu Boyan at the bow of the boat were almost roasted into human beings, and they lost the strength to recite poems. When Li Yin brought his sisters out, they were all like eggplants beaten by frost, and they lost all the strength they had at that time. High spirits.
Seeing off the sisters, Li Yin took out a folding fan in the resentful eyes of the unfilial sons, and fanned it smartly: "Everyone, today's lake tour is very enjoyable."
"Cut!" Everyone waved their hands and scattered like birds and beasts. They were really stealing chickens and losing money. Not only did they not get the attention of the princess, but they were also exposed to the sun for nothing all morning.
Li Yan smiled happily, playing tricks on his sisters, he deserved it!
Three people came, three people went back, on the way, Cheng Huailiang finally sobered up, and heard from Lu Boyan that Princess Qinghe had asked about him, this guy was so excited that he seemed to have convulsed, and vowed to practice **** the thirty-six axes of Tiangang when he returned home. His father Cheng Yaojin.
When they returned to Prince Liang's Mansion, before the three of them entered, Jin Daqian and Gao Accountant greeted them, and told Li Yin about the sales of shampoo in the morning.
The servants of the palace worked overtime. When it was sold, the shampoo in stock reached more than 3,000 boxes. Li Yin gave them a price of 250 yuan a bottle. This time, Jin Daqian only sold 3,000 boxes, which is 7,000 yuan. Five hundred taels of income is considered a considerable amount of income.
"How much is left?" Li Yin asked, thinking of his younger sisters and the people who promised Xiao Rui.
"There are 100 boxes left!" Gao Accountant replied.
"How much of the original is left?"
Gao accountant looked through the account books and said, "There are only thirty-three bottles left!"
"It's gone again!" Li Min frowned, and had to go shopping again.
