The Great Tang Dynasty's Trans-Dimensional Conference: Little Rhinoceros Arrives
Chapter 173 Li Shimin: Give him whatever he wants!
Upon entering the bathroom, Lin Fan filled a basin with hot water, then wrung out a soaked towel and handed it to the two little princesses.
"Sizi, do you need your brother's help?"
"No, it's fine as it is. You can manage on your own."
Seeing that her fifth sister washed her face by herself, Xiao Sizi also resolutely refused Lin Fan's help, and then somewhat awkwardly spread out a towel.
Lin Fan smiled without saying a word, even though Xiao Sizi usually lived a life of luxury in the palace, with everything done for her.
However, he didn't develop any bad habits.
Seeing that the two had almost finished washing, Lin Fan took out the children's toothbrush he had prepared in advance, squeezed out the toothpaste, and handed it to them.
"Sizi, why don't you demonstrate to Chengyang how to brush your teeth first?"
Upon hearing this, Little Sizi happily revealed her little tiger teeth, displaying a confident and assertive expression.
"Okay, okay, Fifth Sister, let me teach you how to use a mud brush."
"Mhm." Chengyang's expression also became serious.
Although Xiao Sizi was assigned to teach Chengyang, Lin Fan stayed to the side and did not leave.
He worried that a single misbehavior could lead Chengyang astray.
"Fifth Sister, watch carefully, before brushing your teeth you have to drink a sip of water first, then spit it out."
Chengyang quickly repeated what he heard.
"And then like this~"
As Xiao Sizi spoke, she slightly opened her mouth, revealing a few shiny teeth, and used her other little hand to move the toothbrush up and down and left and right.
Chengyang also put her toothbrush in front of her nose, and suddenly a fragrant scent wafted into her nostrils.
"Hey, Sizi, this actually smells good!"
Although he was surprised, Chengyang didn't immediately think of eating the toothpaste like Xiaosizi did.
Xiao Sizi quickly shook her head, because the toothbrush was still in her mouth, making her speech even more unclear.
"Jie Ga Pu Neng Qi Da".
"Chengyang, what Sizi means is that this toothpaste can only be used for brushing teeth, but you must never swallow it."
Fearing that Chengyang might not understand, Lin Fan quickly translated it again.
Although it's not a big problem if you ingest a little bit of toothpaste.
However, the physical harm can be more severe for children than for adults.
"Okay, I understand."
After less than two minutes, seeing that it was almost done, Xiao Sizi quickly spat out the foam and then rinsed her mouth again.
Chengyang, who was standing to the side, also carefully noted down each step.
After washing up, Lin Fan filled two basins with water and washed the two little princesses' feet.
"Sizi, why do your feet always smell bad?"
As Lin Fan spoke, he deliberately made a disgusted little face.
Upon hearing this, the little ox immediately bent its toes and leaned its head closer, then gave Lin Fan a cute, bewildered look.
"Lin Fan is lying, he doesn't smell bad at all."
"It's all washed clean, so of course it doesn't smell anymore."
"Hmph, I don't believe it, Fifth Sister, you're the one who said it."
Chengyang, standing to the side, smiled without saying a word; her silence was enough to show her attitude.
"Hmph, I'm not playing with you guys anymore~"
Seeing that Chengyang didn't speak, Xiao Sizi simply put his hands in his pockets and turned his face away.
Lin Fan then coaxed Xiao Sizi again, and Xiao Sizi's mood improved considerably.
After washing up and returning to the living room, Lin Fan checked the time and saw it was only a little past eight.
"Sizi Chengyang, you guys need to go to bed early tonight."
Xiao Si shook her head. She had finally managed to stay at Lin Fan's house today, and she was thinking of continuing to watch cartoons later.
"No, I want to watch animated films."
Lin Fan then turned to look at Cheng Yang, who immediately shook his head as well.
"Brother Lin Fan, I'm not sleepy yet."
There was nothing Lin Fan could do; seeing that neither of the two little princesses really wanted to sleep, he had no choice but to grant their request.
"Okay, you can continue watching TV, but you can only watch until 9:30. You have to go to bed when that time comes."
The two little princesses had no idea what 9:30 meant, and agreed without a second thought.
For the rest of the time, Lin Fan watched a few more episodes of cartoons with the two of them.
However, before the appointed time was up, the two little princesses started yawning.
Looking at the two people leaning against him on either side, Lin Fan shook his head helplessly and couldn't help but remind them.
"Sizi, Chengyang, if you're sleepy, why don't you go to sleep?"
Xiao Si rubbed her big, bright eyes, forced herself to look at the TV, and raised her hand.
"No, this hair extension isn't finished yet."
Faced with Xiao Sizi's tenacious dedication to watching dramas, Lin Fan suddenly recalled how he used to stay up all night reading novels when he was in school.
Every time I get to an exciting part, I think I'll just finish reading one chapter and then go to sleep, but every time I end up reading until dawn.
Thinking of this, Lin Fan turned to look at Chengyang, only to find that Chengyang had already fallen asleep at some point.
After forcing herself to finish watching the cartoon, Xiaosizi's eyelids finally gave way.
Hearing the two little princesses breathing peacefully, Lin Fan could only carefully carry them back to the bedroom.
Back on the sofa, Lin Fan found himself wide awake.
Thinking about the house he had mentioned buying for Xiao Sizi, Lin Fan took out his phone again to study it.
Although he had looked at many properties before, Lin Fan was not particularly satisfied with most of them.
In recent years, housing prices in Chengdu have dropped again and again, but slightly better houses are still in high demand on the market.
Moreover, Lin Fan doesn't plan to buy an apartment this time. Considering future transactions, it would definitely be best to prioritize a large villa.
"Hmm, this one looks pretty good." Lin Fan suddenly saw a newly released property listing and immediately sat up.
"Minglou, I've never heard of this neighborhood before?"
Looking at the information above, Lin Fan immediately became interested.
It's not that he was ignorant; after all, he never had the chance to pay attention to these places before.
"Hmm, this spot is good too, just right, not too far off."
After looking through it, Lin Fan felt quite satisfied with all aspects, so he simply saved the article.
Lin Fan then visited several other places, but after comparing them, he still felt that the place he had just visited was better.
Although Lin Fan has made a choice, he still needs to take the two little princesses to see it tomorrow. The final decision still rests with Xiao Sizi.
After viewing the properties, Lin Fan then searched online for information about solar lighting fixtures.
You don't know until you search, and once you do, you're shocked by the sheer variety of lamps. Lin Fan was completely overwhelmed.
There are several types of solar lights on the market now.
There are three types of lighting classified by power source: independent photovoltaic lighting, wind-solar hybrid lighting, and grid-connected hybrid lighting.
In addition to power supply classification, there are also classifications based on different usage scenarios and functions.
The most common modern lights here are things like signal lights, lawn lights, landscape lights, and streetlights.
After looking around for a while, Lin Fan finally focused his attention on solar-powered household lights.
This type of lamp has many advantages. In addition to being energy-saving and environmentally friendly as advertised in modern times, it also produces no pollution or radiation.
The most important thing is that it is safe and durable, and there is basically no risk of major problems such as electric leakage.
Moreover, it is not only easy to assemble, but also much more flexible to install.
After all, these things are meant to be taken to the Tang Dynasty. If they are too large, not only will transportation be a problem, but installation will also be very inconvenient.
After looking around and making a simple plan, Lin Fan felt a wave of drowsiness wash over him, and then he fell into a deep sleep.
..............
The Great Tang Dynasty established the Lizheng Hall.
Li Shimin had just woken up and was sitting on the headboard, his originally pale face flushed with an unnatural red.
"Guanyinbi, I have truly lost face today, alas..."
The thought that she had actually dragged Lin Fan into becoming sworn brothers in front of so many people today was unbearable.
Li Shimin felt that all the face he had saved up over the decades had been completely lost in just one day.
Empress Zhangsun looked at Li Shimin with a smile upon hearing this.
"Your Majesty, this might not be such a bad thing after all."
"Guanyinbi, even at a time like this, you can still laugh."
Li Shimin couldn't help but roll his eyes as he spoke.
Empress Zhangsun usually defends him the most, but I never expected her to say such a thing today.
"Second Brother, I'm really not joking. If you hadn't drunk too much today, you two might have really become sworn brothers."
"Guanyinbi, you still dare to say that...."
Li Shimin felt that he no longer had any authority over Empress Zhangsun.
In the past, shouldn't Empress Zhangsun have been holding her hand tenderly and comforting her? What's wrong with her today?
Empress Zhangsun smiled and shook her head, then poured a cup of hangover tea and handed it to Li Shimin.
"Second Master, there's no need to overthink it. On the contrary, I feel fortunate."
"Oh, I wonder what Guanyinbi means by that?"
Li Shimin sat up and took the tea, his expression becoming much more serious. How could he not understand that Empress Zhangsun's words were loaded with meaning?
"Does Your Majesty know what that young master said to me after dinner?"
"What?"
Empress Zhangsun did not speak, but looked at Li Shimin with a smile.
"Oh dear, my Guanyin maid, stop teasing me! Tell me quickly, what did that boy say?"
Seeing Li Shimin's impatient appearance, Empress Zhangsun suppressed the urge to laugh and said in a somewhat solemn tone.
"Your Majesty, then as I said, you should be mentally prepared."
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin impatiently put down the teacup in his hand and then shrugged.
"I'm ready, Guanyinbi, just say it now."
Seeing Li Shimin's expression, Empress Zhangsun knew better than to continue trying to entice him.
"The young master told me that in their area, there is a yield of up to a thousand catties of grain per mu."
"Oh, I thought it was something important, but it's just a yield of a thousand catties per mu..."
Li Shimin, who had initially looked disappointed, suddenly reached out and pulled Empress Zhangsun into his arms.
Hearing Li Shimin's heavy breathing beside her, Empress Zhangsun struggled slightly before ceasing to move.
"Erlang didn't mishear, it really is a yield of a thousand catties per mu."
As Empress Zhangsun confirmed it again, Li Shimin, whether from excessive excitement or something else, began to tremble all over.
"Really...really? Is there really such a divine offspring in this world?" For a long time, Li Shimin was unable to come back to his senses.
It was truly because what Empress Zhangsun spoke of was, for him and for the Tang Dynasty, an immense blessing.
What does the Tang Dynasty lack most right now? Of course, it lacks money. And what is the purpose of having money? Of course, it is to purchase enough grain.
Although there haven't been many wars in the Tang Dynasty in recent years, there have still been many natural disasters in various places.
Ordinary people could only rely on the imperial court when disaster struck, but without food, the court was powerless to provide relief even if it wanted to.
And now? The biggest problem facing the Tang Dynasty has been solved just like that, how could Li Shimin not be shocked?
After a long while, Li Shimin suddenly released Empress Zhangsun and stood up.
"Where is that young man now? Has he returned? I...I must become sworn brothers with him today!"
Li Shimin dressed with an excited and anxious expression, but Empress Zhangsun quickly got up and stopped him.
"Your Majesty, don't you even look at what time it is? The young master has already gone home."
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin looked at the candles lit around him and couldn't help but sigh. His turbulent emotions gradually calmed down.
"Guanyinbi, are you telling the truth? That young man isn't lying, is he?"
Amidst this rollercoaster of emotions, Li Shimin began to feel somewhat anxious and uncertain.
Empress Zhangsun shook her head thoughtfully.
"Probably not. After all, it wouldn't do the young master any good by telling such a lie, would it?"
Li Shimin leaned back against the headboard again, his face filled with melancholy: "Alas, if such a superior breed truly exists, then the future of my Great Tang Dynasty is simply unbelievable..."
Empress Zhangsun patted Li Shimin's hand comfortingly.
"Your Majesty need not worry about it now. We'll know when the young master comes again next time."
Li Shimin nodded. In the short time since he woke up, his mood had been quite turbulent.
"Alas, drinking leads to trouble, it's truly a case of drinking leading to trouble," Li Shimin said, turning to look at Empress Zhangsun.
"Guanyinbi, next time I drink alcohol, you must stop me."
Stop them? The key question is, can I even stop them? Empress Zhangsun couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"Your Majesty, have you considered how we should thank the young master if this is true?"
"this...."
Li Shimin was speechless for a moment, after all, there were very few things to compare the Tang Dynasty with later generations.
In his view, life in the future was like that of immortals, while the riches, fame, and fortune of this world were beneath Lin Fan's notice.
After thinking for a long time, Li Shimin still couldn't come up with a good solution, so he stroked his beard.
"Guanyinbi, what do you think of me becoming sworn brothers with that young man and then bestowing upon him the title of prince?"
"If all else fails, I'll just give him whatever he wants."
Li Shimin spoke with absolute certainty, but in his heart he added, "I'll give you anything you want, except for the throne."
Empress Zhangsun took a deep breath upon hearing this; she actually wanted to ask Li Shimin a question.
"If someone wanted your precious daughter, would you give her to them?"
