0013 King's daily life

Fang was already out of prison, and was injured, and his mood fluctuated severely. He even fell asleep on the bed without realizing it.

Seeing this, Li Tong stopped staying and told the palace maids to take care of themselves, and then he stepped out lightly.

The sun was so hot in June that it was pouring over the courtyard, but Li Tong didn't feel much hot. After walking out of the room and entering the courtyard, he couldn't help but spread his arms, as if he wanted to use the sun to sweep away the bad luck and death energy on his body.

Zheng Jin walked out of the corridor on one side and waved his hand to greet Li Tong to appreciate his newly arranged living room. Li Tong was also very curious about the normal daily living environment of the Tang people. After hearing the sound, he walked over.

Although Renzhiyuan is just an inconspicuous palace in Taichu Palace, it is also quite large. Located in the northwest, the main hall Renzhi Hall is also the most common double-eaves structure seen by Li Tong. However, this hall has been sealed and not opened. The arrival of Li Tong and others is obviously not qualified to open the hall.

Around the hall is a series of houses and pavilions of varying heights, divided into areas of varying sizes by corridors, flowing water, etc.

The ones divided for the Yong Wang family are mainly concentrated on the south side of Renzhiyuan, occupying about one-third of the entire palace. They are centered on the Taifei Fang family, radiating forward, backward, left and right. There are thirty or forty rooms of all sizes alone, not including those pavilions, terraces, corridors and pavilions that embellish them.

Walking in this new environment, Li Tong also sincerely lamented that the Tian family is indeed rich and noble, and even the definition of downs and downs is very different from that of the people. He was a mere prince who was in trouble and was a idle royal family who was waiting to be slaughtered. Once he introduced his living environment, he was still somewhat disgusted with wealth. You can imagine what kind of life he really liked ministers and powerful people enjoyed.

There is no big mansion in Luoyang, and there is no master in Chang'an. In history, Bai Juyi traveled for many years and finally bought a big mansion covering an area of ​​17 acres in Ludaofang, Luoyang. As a result, he was so beautiful that his nose was bubbled and his poems were thick ink to describe his life in the house. At present, Li Tong's condition is really shameless. It is better to live a good life than to have a good life. Your end is my starting point!

However, when he thought that Bai Juyi did not have a grandmother named Wu Zetian, this kind of complacency disappeared. He was wrapped in coptis chinensis, which was bitter and then sweet, but he was wrapped in candy, and the layer of sugar was about to be sucked out, and there was nothing to show off.

Li Tong's residence was arranged on the southwest side of Renzhiyuan, with three-story corridors in front and back, seven or eight houses, two upper and lower floors, and two pavilions with admirals. Jiuzhou Pond Water Diversion Canal passed by here, forming a pond covering an area of ​​about acres. There is a flower bed on the east side of the pond, and there is a bamboo in the southwest, extending all the way outside Renzhiyuan.

In the middle of the pond, there is another small continent made of soil, which is naturally not as large as the three islands of Jiuzhou Pond, but there is also a small and exquisite viewing platform on it. A pavilion room is erected on the platform, and railings on all sides can play in the water by the railings.

A simple literal storytelling makes the residence look elegant, but it is not. Before Li Tong's family moved in, Renzhiyuan had been abandoned for more than a few years, so the water in the pond was slightly turbid, with many rotten lotus leaves and other debris floating on the water surface, and mosquitoes and flies buzzing and circling.

The bamboo forest has not been repaired and grew chaotic, and some bamboo branches have even poked into the pavilion. The flowerbed is also in a mess, with flowers and plants, and there are obvious footprints left by the palace servants collecting petals.

There were more than a dozen palace maids in this park, and the eunuchs were busy cleaning up. Zheng Jinxing couldn't help but stomp his feet and scold, urging these palace maids to speed up the repairs.

Seeing Li Tong's face showing a clear look of insult, she sighed again: "Alang is still kind-hearted. I don't know how cruel these sluts are in private. Generally speaking, they know a little bit of rank, but how could they abuse Alang... The tigers and wolves in the wild know that they are vicious and difficult to behave, so we can avoid it. However, these evil insects and maggots look small and harmless, so they can lick the flesh and blood! The old people in the residence were already scattered earlier, and the big net assigned these people, but they didn't know how many ears and ears and ears were hidden inside, which was really not worth pity!"

When Li Tong heard this, he felt a sense of crisis in his heart, and his eyes couldn't help but look at the pavilion that was tens of meters away from here. In the sun, he could see many armored figures walking on it, which made him feel a sense of discomfort as he thorns on his back.

"They have nothing to do with me whether they are good or evil. My family has fallen to this point and has nothing to do with them. Since we cannot be intimate, let's stay away from them. Even if we make things difficult for them, what will it help me? We are embarrassed by each other, and we have a grudge against each other, and we will lose our peace of mind when we meet each other in daily life."

Li Tong was moved, and it felt different in Zheng Jin's ears. The woman wiped the corners of her eyes and cried, "My wife was infatuated and cruel, so she left her maid to take care of Ah Lang. Although Ah Lang was kind in the past, Yan Wei nodded, she was always bullied and looked down upon by others. But now she finally has her own words and deeds. It can be seen that she has grown up. It must be because of the true feelings of the wife who follows her life and death, so that she can be given extra kindness to Ah Lang to be taught by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."

Hearing Zheng Jin's nagging, Li Tong was quite amused and laughed. He just raised his hand to interrupt her words, and then whispered: "You only care about these thoughts in the future. Whether in front of or behind, your aunt doesn't have to talk about it anymore. Life and fortune are the most irritating. Such troubles can be avoided."

“Yes, yes…”

Zheng Jin wiped away the moisture from the corners of his eyes, looked at Li Tong's face, and still couldn't help but whisper: "Alang is so old, he has really grown up..."

Hearing Zheng Jin's endless sighs, Li Tong felt helpless. He really didn't know how simple and ignorant Li Shouyi was before, so that he could make people around him so happy after saying a few casual words. It can be seen that it was necessary for him to fabricate the experience of wandering the underworld, otherwise he would have no way to explain the changes in his temperament.

The palace servants are still cleaning up, and now they have only cleaned up a central hall for meeting guests and two can be temporarily used as bedrooms and ear rooms in the study.

The utensils in the room are simple and organized. The curtains hanging on the four walls are all newly cut plain yarn. Before hanging, it seems that some spices are soaked. The doors and windows are breeze, and the fragrance floats all over the room.

In addition to hanging curtains, there are also several screens in the central hall, either a wide piece or even a fan. The materials include wood and bamboo. The bamboo screen is hollowed out, the patterns are simple and the curves are graceful. The wooden screen skeleton is painted with paint, and the gold and silver are polished to form a flat pattern, covered with silk yarn, and flowers and birds are painted.

Li Tong was very unreliable and carefully stroked these utensils and furniture in the room. This was all real antique for him. Although it was less than a heavy part after time treatment, the exquisite new decorations were even more adorable.

If these things are in later generations, they will need to be collected in museums or in private collections of some antique dealers and need to be carefully maintained. How could they have the opportunity to enjoy them like this?

Zheng Jin still complained that Zhang Shi was too simple and even the middle hall where ordinary people were hospitalized was worse than that of guests. When Li Tong heard this, he felt that she was thinking too much. It was not easy for him to survive, so how could he have the opportunity to receive any guests here?

The side wing room that serves as the bedroom is smaller, but there are also about 30 square meters of space. The floor where you enter the room is laid with a cool straw mat, which allows you to enter directly without walking. This is just a side room, and the main bedroom is still located behind the central hall, and it is still being cleaned and arranged.

The curtain screen divides the room into three areas in size and size. Two rope beds are arranged opposite the door. The legs of the bed are less than one foot low. It is obvious that it is not for people to sit down while hanging their feet, but just to avoid the moisture on the ground. There are a few rope beds in front of each rope bed, which can be used for people to sit for a long time. Several Hu bed seats are arranged at will in the corner, and several cage boxes to store debris.

The inner area is more personal. A long couch is covered with several dragon beard mats, and opposite is a row of cabinets of varying heights. The cabinets mainly contain some clothes, round neck shirts, lapels, crotch shirts, brocade half arms, etc. The styles are different, and the colors are also purple and colorful.

Although the Tang Dynasty had formed relatively rigorous clothing color regulations, which kind of social level wears what kind of clothing color, there were also customs that the lower part would not mess up and the upper part could communicate with the lower part. Li Tong was also a lonely prince, so there was little restriction in this regard. As long as he was willing, he could basically dress himself up in the kaleidoscope.

The innermost is the real bedroom. The horizontal couch made of agarwood is made of agarwood. There is a tent hanging down above it to surround it. There is a light corner of pearls the size of a fingertip. A thick mattress is laid on the bed. The material is flexible and soft, and it is very breathable. You can even feel the wind flowing under you when you lie on it.

Li Tong was not very clear about the daily life and equipment used by ordinary people in this era, but he was still very satisfied with the current living environment. Of course, he also understood that it was because he was content and happy, and such a living environment was still far from the real power and tycoon.

Not to mention that the nurse Zheng Jin has been talking about the fact that the living arrangement is too plain and not as good as the ordinary wealthy families in the two capitals. As far as Li Tong himself knows, there is actually a lot of room for improvement at this level of daily necessities. The standard he compared is the cellar discovery in Hejia Village, Xi'an in later generations.

The secret treasure of Hejia Village was very famous in later generations. In addition to a large amount of gold, silver and wealth, the most important one was the various precious utensils of the Tang Dynasty. There were several items that were evaluated as national treasures alone.

Later generations have speculated that the owners of this group of secret treasures may be Li Shouli, the eldest baby of Li Tong's family, but some scholars argued that it was someone else. Not to mention who the owners of these secret treasures are, it is obvious that the daily living expenses under Li Tong are far different from that standard, and have nothing to do with luxury, and they are just comfort.

It was indeed very comfortable. Li Tong didn't sleep well last night. He just wanted to try the comfort of this bed, but he fell asleep shortly after lying down.

But he didn't sleep for too long, and soon a loud shout came from outside the room: "Xunnu, Xunnu, are you in the room? I asked you to come and find me, why don't you come?"
