Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Chapter 187 Zhao Ke is gone

To be reasonable, with Cheng's rascally character, Li Xin subtly felt that the possibility of someone giving him a gift was very slim, but the possibility of him snatching these two pieces of wood from some poor fellow with a wave of his hand Also bigger.

Regarding Cheng Yaojin's immoral behavior, Li Xin just wanted to say in his heart: "Well done!"

Anyway, it was not Li Xin himself who snatched the things, and the two pieces of material were not used by Li Xin after they were made into furniture, but were sent to the palace for Li Shimin to use. In terms of robbery, Li Shimin is the real robber.

After the furniture was finished and sent to the palace, Li Shimin couldn't put it down to the desks and chairs, and always felt that his office efficiency had improved. Coupled with the special single bed specially made by Li Xin for napping in the office, the number of times Li Shimin stayed in the imperial study room at night increased significantly, and he even went to the harem less often. For this completely unexpected situation, Li Xin had to apologize to the many concubines in the harem, including Empress Changsun.

Of course, Li Xin occasionally secretly thought with malicious intentions: Is Li Shimin really abandoning personal interests because of public affairs, or is he just looking for a reason to avoid these wolf-like women in the harem?

Taking a step back, even if the former is the main reason, the latter should not account for zero percent, right? Alas, it seems that having more wives is not all good, and the body is still easy to keep up with.

Li Xin thought so unscrupulously.

It's a pity that Li Shimin didn't know that Li Xin arranged him like this behind his back, otherwise Li Xin would have looked good.

Empress Changsun also liked her new dressing table very much. On the second day after the dressing table was moved to the Lizheng Hall, she ordered the servants in the palace to move the old dressing table to the imperial dining room as firewood, and classified all her cosmetics into the new dressing table. in each drawer. From now on, her countertop will never be messy again.

In fact, Li Xin was not very satisfied with this dressing table. In his opinion, dressing table, dressing table, how to dress without a mirror? But he didn't have the energy to study the firing of glass for the time being, so he could only make do with installing a large bronze mirror where the mirror should have been installed on the dressing table.

The clarity of bronze mirrors is naturally inferior to that of glass mirrors. However, this small shortcoming can only be made up for by Empress Changsun later.

The furniture sent to the palace must be taken seriously, but the furniture sent to the major yamen is not so particular. Basic simplicity and generosity are fine, but the most important thing is to be practical. And this is precisely what Li Xin is least worried about. So, thanks to the efforts of so many carpenters, this batch of furniture was finally delivered on time. Although the number was many times higher than those sent to the palace, the overall time was shorter.

And it was exactly what Li Xin had thought: the difficulty of making furniture is really too low. If someone wants to imitate it, he can learn it very quickly. This also proves how important the exclusive brand Li Xin has won. Without this thing, even if he opened his furniture store, he would definitely not be able to make much money.

While thinking about the official opening of the furniture store in the next year, Li Xin asked casually: "Where is Zhao Ke? Why didn't you come today? Did I tell you in advance?"

Since Zhao Ke took charge of the first floor, she would visit Li Xin in person every two days and report to him the situation of the first floor. Today is the day she should come. However, at this moment, it was nearly half an hour late for her usual time to appear. This is something that has never happened before.

Wang Gui shook his head and said: "No. But the old servant has already sent someone to ask questions on the first floor, and he should be back in a while." Wang Gui is indeed a rough and subtle person. Although he doesn't say some things, he has already You can see it, otherwise he might not be a top scout when he was young.

Hearing such a reassuring speech, Li Xin naturally nodded casually, and finally didn't pay too much attention to it.

It was about a quarter of an hour before he noticed that something was really wrong. Zhao Ke still didn't show up. Ma Dong, a middle-aged man with stubble on his face, the palace guard Ma Dong who was sent by Wang Gui to the first floor for questioning, came back. He came in front of Li Xin and Wang Gui skillfully, and said bluntly: "The person on the first floor said that shopkeeper Zhao left the store at the usual time today."

Wang Gui's expression did not change. Li Xin narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked, "What do you mean? We set off at the usual time, why didn't we arrive at the usual time? Where can Zhao Ke go?"

Ma Dong replied: "The little one was also surprised. So when I came back, I deliberately searched along the route from the first floor of Chang'an to the palace. Unfortunately, I didn't find anything."

"I didn't find anything?" Li Xin repeated slowly, and sneered, "How can such a living person disappear out of nowhere? It seems that some people can't sit still." At the end of the voice, His tone was already a little sharp.

Wang Gui's eyes also flickered subtly with the change of Li Xin's tone.
