Chapter 51

Views:

His Majesty Li Er handpicked people to go to Wei Wang's mansion to refine it. It is reasonable to say that Li Tai is already in his twenties, so he should have gone to the fief, but His Majesty Li Er refused to let him go.

Li Yuanying was running around everywhere now, except for Beili and Li Jing's family who were banned by His Majesty Li Er some time ago, there was no place in Chang'an City that he could not go to.

Li Yuanying led the people to the gate of Prince Wei's mansion, and politely asked them to go in and pass the news, saying that it was King Teng who came to visit Xiao Deyan, the old scholar Xiao.

Li Tai happened to be working on his "Kuo Di Zhi" in the mansion, and when he heard that Li Yuanying had come, old and new grudges welled up in his heart, and he really wanted to block this guy out of the door. But after thinking about it, this kid has always been a shameless master. If he is not allowed to enter the door, he will definitely make a fuss in front of the gate. At that time, people will say that Wei Wangfu even blocked his relatives and uncles from the door!

Li Tai pinched his nose and asked someone to welcome Li Yuanying in. He also put down the manuscript in his hand and prepared to meet Li Yuanying in person, trying to be as polite as possible.

As a result, Li Tai hadn't crossed the threshold yet, the person he sent to meet Li Yuanying had already come back, saying that as soon as the door opened, Li Yuanying would run to the place where the old scholar Xiao was familiar with, without anyone leading the way.

Li Tai felt irritable in his heart.

He was able to invite Xiao Deyan to his residence thanks to the "Kuo Dizhi" he was compiling.

At present, "Kuo Di Zhi" has been edited for several years, and it should be finished anyway, but he has not yet drawn all the people from the Literature Museum to his side. The talents in his literature hall are far inferior to those of his father Huang's eighteen bachelors in the Hongwen hall, but that bastard Li Yuanying still has a plan for Xiao Deyan!

Li Yuanying knew exactly how much he disliked Li Tai, so he chose not to see Li Tai directly, but went to find Xiao Deyan himself.

After seeing each other for a long time, Li Yuanying and Xiao Deyan didn't feel strange, he sat down, completely treated Xiao Deyan's place as his own home, and happily asked people to boil water and make tea.

After finishing his work, Li Yuanying talked to Xiao Deyan, and asked him attentively if he was eating well recently, if he had any difficulties, if he was missing anything, if he wanted to help him run errands or something.

Xiao De said: "Everything is fine, I don't need anything."

Li Yuanying alone can make the noise of ten people. Seeing that Xiao Deyan didn't bother him, he told Xiao Deyan about Sun Simiao: "He is just like you. Although he is in his seventies and eighties, he walks steadily and rides horses better than many people." Young people should be on the safe side, if it wasn't for their gray hair, they wouldn't look old at all."

After talking about Sun Simiao's appearance, he talked about Sun Simiao's medical skills with Xiao Deyan, saying that Sun Simiao was writing a medical book called "A Thousand Gold Prescriptions", collecting all the classic prescriptions, proven prescriptions, and strange prescriptions handed down from generation to generation, investigating their errors and deficiencies, and listing them. Its method of increasing and decreasing assistants.

It's called "Qian Jin Fang", which means that one party can save a life, and a life is more important than a thousand gold!

Xiao Deyan listened, and boasted: "This is very good. Many doctors in the world cherish their own skills, and they don't want to pass on the prescriptions handed down from family and master to others. Many prescriptions handed down from generation to generation are often flawed. Some quack doctors take Going to treat diseases hurts people. This book is a great thing for doctors and common people."

With Xiao Deyan's affirmation, Li Yuanying was very happy, and boasted: "I have made an agreement with Master Sun. When his book is finished, I will publish it for him in the world, so that everyone who wants to read it can read it, and cultivate more books for the people of the world. Some good doctors will save everyone from encountering a few quack doctors."

Xiao Deyan nodded when he heard the words, and reminded: "I'm afraid it will cost a lot."

Li Yuanying told Xiao Deyan about Qianjin tea, he had already sold out the first batch of tea, and Su Dalang had rushed back to the south.

On this trip back, Su Dalang took two tasks: first, to bring autumn tea to Beijing to sell again; second, to buy the surrounding tea mountains to expand the scale.

With this tea, I am not afraid that it will not be printed as a book.

After Xiao Deyan heard about Li Yuanying's busy work in May, he felt that this child was very smart, but also felt that his behavior would cause trouble to his upper body.

Xiao Deyan paused for a moment, and advised: "You have made a lot of profit from selling tea, and it is very likely that people will criticize you. You must think of ways to deal with it in advance."

Li Yuanying was a little confused, and approached Xiao Deyan humbly to ask for advice: "What criticism?"

Xiao Deyan read the regulations to him: "Scholars, farmers, businessmen, four people have different industries, and the family of food and salary must not compete with the servants." Xiao Deyan looked at Li Yuanying warmly, "As a royal family member, you can't do it. As for merchants, even though you have never done this business yourself, it is inevitable that some people will make a fuss about it."

Xiao Deyan also educated Li Yuanying about some of the court's regulations on merchants. Merchants, low-ranking businessmen, merchants and their children are not allowed to take part in the imperial examination, and they can't even choose the color of their clothes on weekdays.

Although each family more or less has its own shop and business, few of them are really shown on the surface.

Li Yuanying was even more puzzled: "They are all citizens of the Tang Dynasty, why can't the children of merchants take part in the imperial examination? If there are some particularly smart people among them, wouldn't it be a waste of good talents?"

Xiao De said: "An official should make decisions for the people. If you are both an official and a businessman, who should judge whether what you do is good or bad? All walks of life perform their own duties, and the world will not be chaotic."

Li Yuanying didn't quite understand these things, and they belonged to officials and merchants, so they were beyond his understanding. He nodded seriously, indicating that he had written down these words and would be prepared to be scolded.

In Li Yuanying's opinion, if you scold him, you can scold him, and you won't lose a piece of meat, just let them scold you!

At this time the tea was ready, and Li Yuanying personally took a bowl and gave it to Xiao Deyan.

Xiao Deyan knew that Li Yuanying didn't care about his status and could do whatever he wanted, so he didn't refuse, took a sip of hot tea, it was the height of summer, but after drinking a few sips of hot tea, he felt the wind in his armpits, and his whole body was very light.

Xiao De said: "This tea is really good, it's just right to drink in hot weather."

Li Yuanying said: "The one I left for you is the best, every time you ask someone to cook a small packet is enough to drink!"

Xiao Deyan took the silver box brought by Li Yuanying, looked at the picture of Lingchun Dangui on it, and could tell its origin at a glance. He said: "The painting is not bad, but these two sentences are written a little more plainly. You are studying in the palace, have you started to write poetry?"

Li Yuanying said: "I haven't taught it yet." What he said, what he thought, and what he wrote were all his own thoughts! Mentioning this, Li Yuanying couldn't help muttering, "I don't think they want to teach me to write. I'm impatient to learn if I love to teach or not!"

Regardless of Li Yuanying's young age, children are actually much more sensitive than adults.

At least who liked him and who didn't like him, who taught him sincerely and who dealt with him perfunctorily, Li Yuanying could feel it since he was a child.

Xiao Deyan had also heard about this.

Some time ago, the prince published two good articles. Kong Yingda questioned the prince and said that he and Li Yuanying co-wrote it. The main reason is that Li Yuanying proposed to write such an article but could not write it. In the end, the person in charge of writing became the prince!

Also, last time Li Yuanying made a fool of himself at the court meeting and rendered a civil official speechless!

When Kong Yingda's disciples found out about this, they all felt that it would be better if they didn't know how to write poetry for this scourge.

Just look at it, his mouth alone can kill people, if you really want him to learn how to write and write, won't all the scholars in the world teach him to die

You don't want to teach, I don't want to teach, and no one wants to teach. Li Yuanying has no chance to learn this well, and can only write "Han Zi's Fables" at the level of telling stories to children.

Xiao Deyan smiled lightly: "If you don't learn, you won't be able to convince them. Only after learning their way, can you use their way to persuade them."

When Li Yuanying heard it, he felt that Xiao Deyan's words were very reasonable, and immediately patted his chest that he must study hard.

The conversation has come to this point, Li Yuanying simply lay down and asked Xiao Deyan to teach him first, so that he can learn a few tricks and go back to bluff others!

Xiao Deyan did not refuse, drinking hot tea, he called Li Yuanying some tips on writing articles, and taught him what books to read and what to pay attention to when reading.

Li Yuanying always liked to listen to Xiao Deyan's lectures to him, he listened to every sentence carefully, until it was dusk before he knew it.

It wasn't until someone came to ask Xiao Deyan if he wanted to pass on the meal, that Li Yuanying realized it was so late! He thought for a while, and simply asked someone to go back and tell the palace that he would just stay in Wei Wangfu tonight. Right now, he is studying hard, and he can't wait to ask for pen and ink to write a test, and he doesn't want to lose his enthusiasm!

Li Yuanying wanted to stay at Xiao Deyan's side for a meal, and decided to stay in Wei Wang's mansion, so Li Tai, the Wei Wang, naturally couldn't be ignorant. Hearing this, he was so angry that he wanted to go over immediately and ask someone to throw Li Yuanying out of the house, but he could bear it all the time, and after eating, he tried his best to pretend to be calm and went to Xiao Deyan's place.

When Li Tai came to look for him, Li Yuanying and Xiao Deyan had also had dinner, and Li Yuanying was reading the model essay that Xiao Deyan had chosen for him next to Xiao Deyan, the old and the young were sitting under the lamp and chatting with each other sentence by sentence, looking very affectionate .

The veins on Li Tai's forehead twitched, he went up to say hello to Xiao Deyan, then turned his head to care about Li Yuanying's dinner, and asked Li Yuanying why he didn't see his nephew when he came to the Wei Palace.

Li Yuanying said honestly: "I didn't say anything when I saw you, and I didn't come to look for you."

The flesh on Li Tai's cheeks trembled, and that fat face that was originally very blessed looked a little hideous.

He has never seen Li Yuanying like this, no matter what other people do, they will always say a few polite words on the face, this guy always comes to Wei Wangfu to eat and stay, and say "I am not here to find you"!

Li Yuanying saw that Li Tai's face was not very good-looking, and also remembered that he was a guest, so he immediately took Li Tai's fat hand and said sincerely: "Didn't I make you angry when I talked to you at the court meeting last time? I'm afraid You were unhappy seeing me, so you didn't go to see you. If I knew that you had let go of the past, I would definitely go to chat with you first!"

Li Tai's face twitched again.

He still has the nerve to mention it!

Father doesn't know what he likes about this kid, this kid came to chat with him at the court meeting, Father also said something to him, "Your Uncle Yao attended the court meeting for the first time, why did you care about him".

He still remembers this account in his heart, and he can remember it firmly. Who doesn't care about the past? !

Even though Li Yuanying said this, Li Tai couldn't reply "No, I didn't ignore the past, I still want to strangle you to death".

Li Tai could only say: "Uncle Yao, you turn your head back to court, it's normal that you don't know the rules."

Li Yuanying nodded in agreement with Li Tai's words, and thought that he had finished the peaceful and friendly greetings with Li Tai, and issued an order to chase Li Tai away: "Do you have anything to do with the teacher? If not, I will continue to consult the teacher. You can go back and work." It's your business, don't bother entertaining me, I'm tired of talking with the teacher, just find a guest room to deal with it."

Li Tai: "..."

Li Tai felt that he still wanted to kill this bastard.

The author has something to say:

Little Prince: Eat at your house, sleep at your house, and even hate you!

Li Tai: _(:з」∠)_
