Chapter VII: Wei Zheng

Li Chengqian didn't talk much nonsense, and after seeing that the eldest grandson Baoqing took out the money and put away the dandelions, he left here directly, leaving the farmer frozen in place, looking incredulous.

After the three of them walked out of a distance, Yu Tai suddenly asked, "Shizi, why did you give him ten copper plates?" These wild vegetables, three or four copper plates are already a lot! ”

After thinking about it for a long time, Yu Taicai held back the three words "loser", in his opinion, Li Chengqian is clearly nonsense, and it is not this way to be rich!

Pulling out a dandelion rhizome from the cloth bag of the eldest grandson Baoqing and stuffing it into his mouth, sucking the bitterness inside, Li Chengqian said: "How can this king not know that ten copper plates are too much." However, looking at his skinny appearance, you know that he does not have much food at home. At this time of scarcity, it is difficult for a farmer to have enough to eat. Have you ever thought about this question since he dug up enough wild vegetables to satisfy his stomach, but why did he come to the West Market to sell them? ”

Yu Tai scratched his head, and only then did he realize that this farmer's behavior of selling wild vegetables was extremely strange.

It stands to reason that the farmer digs up wild vegetables and eats them, so why come to the West Market to sell them?

The eldest grandson Baoqing's mind turned relatively quickly, and after thinking for a while, he understood: "This shows that there are people in his family who can't eat wild vegetables, and he has to sell them and exchange them for grain." ”

Li Chengqian smiled and nodded: "That's right, it can only be because of this." Now a bucket of rice is worth fifteen yuan, three copper plates, how much can you get in exchange? Give him ten copper plates, how can he exchange it for more than half a bucket of rice, although it will not let his whole family eat, at least for a while, the young child or the old man who can't eat wild vegetables will not worry. For this king, the extra seven copper coins may be just a temporary extravagance, and for this banker, it is very likely to be worth a life. ”

Li Chengqian walked by himself, not seeing the expressions of Yu Tai and the eldest grandson Baoqing at all.

They didn't expect that just ten copper coins bought wild vegetables worth three copper coins, and there was such a deep story in it.

How so?

Is this really just a seven-year-old?

Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!

Three consecutive high-fives came, and Li Chengqian couldn't help but look behind him, only to see that it was an old guy with a white beard who high-fived.

The old guy was dressed in tattered cloth clothes, but his face was white, and the most excessive thing was that he was wearing official boots on his feet.

This is a bit stupid, although the appearance is very shabby, but as long as someone notices, he can deduce the identity of his official.

Yu Tai's hand pressed on the horizontal knife, and he noticed this tail guy just now, if he didn't feel that this person had no malicious intent, he would definitely grab it and interrogate it.

Seeing that he had attracted Li Chengqian's attention, the old guy smiled and said: "The old man has heard that there are people like Xiang Lu and Ganluo in ancient times, although they are young, they are extremely intelligent, and they are called prodigies. It's just that the old man always thought that this was recorded blindly by the ancients in order to boast. I don't want to, today I actually saw a person recorded in the ancient books of Chang'anxi City, Datang. ”

Li Chengqian pushed Yu Tai away, revealing his figure, and said with a smile: "It's not a prodigy, it's just cranky, if this king is really a prodigy, the first time I see you, I can know your identity." Isn't it? ”

The old guy stroked his beard and laughed, understanding that this was Li Chengqian asking about his identity, and then arched his hand: "It's the old man who is rude, the old man and the prince wash the horse Wei Zheng, and have seen the King of Zhongshan!" ”

"! Wei!? ”

What Wei Zheng didn't expect was that after learning his identity, Li Chengqian actually jumped up on the spot, with the intention of fleeing directly.

Is the old man so terrible?

Wei Zheng, who was puzzled, almost wanted to find a mirror to see what he looked like.

"King Zhongshan, is the old man terrible?" Seeing that Li Chengqian had regained his composure, Wei Zheng asked out loud.

You're not scary, you're just stinky and hard, and most people can't afford to mess with you.

Li Chengqian couldn't help but slander.

The ancient people mirror Wei Zheng, the famous existence of the Tang Dynasty. In Li Chengqian's impression, this one is definitely a crab living in Chang'an, down to the common people, up to the emperor, there is no one he dare not scare. From the few small stories left over from history, we can see how bold this one is.

can't be provoked, if something happens to this one, even if you are the emperor in the background, it is useless. This old guy didn't scare the emperor once or twice, and even won almost every time.

However, the current Wei Zheng is not a royal doctor, just a prince washing horses.

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It turned out to be Lord Wei, but I don't know what Lord Wei is doing in the West Market in shabby clothes and official boots?" ”

Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Wei Zheng glanced down at the official boots, and then his old face turned red.

I was in a hurry to go out today, and I actually forgot to change my official boots, and I was pointed out by a child, which is really embarrassing!

With a red face, Wei Zheng smiled bitterly: "Now is the time when the green and yellow are not available, many civilian farmers have to buy grain, and the old man is afraid that some grain merchants will deliberately raise the price, so he changed his clothes to take a look." Unexpectedly, he actually forgot to change out of his official boots, which made King Zhongshan smile. ”

Li Chengqian: "...."

You are a prince washing horses, and it is not good to assist your prince, what are you doing when you are idle and come to grab the work of the tooth shop?

Although he wanted to complain, Li Chengqian still said politely: "Lord Xima cares so much about people's livelihood, he is really a model for my Tang officials!" This king still has something to do, so I won't bother Lord Wei, so don't leave it and say goodbye! ”

After speaking, Li Chengqian pulled Yu Tai and his eldest grandson Baoqing, and drove away without looking back!

Wei Zheng, who was left in place, scratched his head in confusion.

Why does this Zhongshan King defend him like a thief?

Even if your father, King Qin, and the crown prince don't get along, don't delay the two of us talking!

But....

"This King of Zhongshan, at a young age, has observed public opinion, and is even willing to suffer some losses and help a farmer, he is really a good seedling of a virtuous king...."

Even, if he was the one who became the emperor....

Wei Zheng shook his head, although the prince's son Li Chengdao has a bad personality, he is destined to be the emperor in the future. Instead of lamenting the wisdom of Li Chengqian, the king of Zhongshan, it is better to do a good job in Li Chengdao's education and cultivate a qualified heir for the Tang Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Wei Zheng was in no mood to continue to wander around, and walked towards the exit of the West Market.

On the side of a Hu merchant's truck, Li Chengqian did not show his head until he saw Wei Zheng leave.

Yu Tai was puzzled: "Why is the prince so wary of this Wei Zheng? ”

The eldest grandson Baoqing was also puzzled, it stands to reason that this is the first time that the prince has met with the prince Xima Wei Zheng, how does it seem....

Scared of the way he looks?
