Chapter 524 - Giving You This Hope
When Li Shimin walked to the door of Li Wei's new house with his eldest grandson Wujian and Li Wei's biological mother, the whole person was already dizzy with the various furnishings of his child.
At the same time, he was also looking forward to his eldest son-in-law's expression when he saw it.
So he went in and talked to Li Wei, and then watched Li Chengqian and them fiddling around there with great interest.
And the eldest grandson Wujian and Xia Ju, Li Yue, Natalia, Erya, and Li Chenghei's daughter-in-law, they helped Li Wei dress up together.
Soon, Li Chengqian's fiddling array had already been completed, and at the same time, the men and horses sent by Li Chengqian also ran back to say that Xue Rengui's side had also set off.
Hearing that Xue Rengui was leaving, Li Chengqian hurriedly asked people to pour the corresponding wine into all the wine bowls, and as soon as the wine was poured, Li Chengqian immediately became excited, and even didn't eat breakfast, pulling Li Chengsi, Li Ke, and Li Tai to move four chairs and sit at the gate and wait.
However, as soon as he arrived at the gate, he smelled the smell of food coming from the stall set up in the corner, and he shouted to the other side, "That kid, bring me a bowl of soy milk to this king, and bring three fritters."
Li Chengqian's shout, the frightened people who were waiting in line to receive food, hurriedly knelt down at Li Chengqian.
The child who was pointed out by Li Chengqian looked at Li Chengqian blankly, the clothes on his body were tattered, and his face was not very good, he was not sure if Li Chengqian was calling himself, and pointed at himself with a trembling finger.
"Yes, it's you, hurry up, the others should eat and drink, this king is happy today, there are people who are familiar with each other, you can also call" Li Chengqian nodded at the kid and shouted over there.
"Little ghost, take it, that's His Royal Highness the Prince, send it over and hurry over, don't bump into His Highness, otherwise you will suffer, go, take a cloth and pad" As early as after Li Chengqian said what he wanted to eat, a eunuch in charge of distributing food had already prepared food, and after confirming that Li Chengqian really wanted to let this dirty child send it over, he took a white cloth and asked the child to cushion and let him explain, and let him hurry over.
Along the way, the seven or eight-year-old child walked very carefully, and walked slowly towards Li Chengqian, for fear of spilling the soy milk in his hand.
And looking at his cautious appearance, Li Chengqian couldn't bear it anymore and ran over by himself.
"Little guy, this is not a precious thing, why are you walking so slowly, then come on" Li Chengqian walked up to him, said to him, reached out and touched his dirty head, and took the food in his hand.
was treated like this by Li Chengqian, the child looked at Li Chengqian with his big innocent eyes, and his overwhelmed look made Li Chengqian's heart go down for a while.
"Little one, are you afraid of this king?" Li Chengqian put the bowl with soy milk on the ground, squatted on the ground and ate it with chopsticks, while soaking the fritters with chopsticks and eating, while asking the child.
"I'm not afraid, I just didn't expect that Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be so approachable" Seeing Li Chengqian's actions, he said to Li Chengqian very politely.
"You can actually use idioms, it seems that you have read books, so can you tell this king what you do at home, and who else is there" Seeing that this child was so polite, Li Chengqian asked him curiously.
"I have a younger sister at home, I picked her up, and I haven't read any books, I secretly went to a private school to hear about them" Faced with Li Chengqian's question, the child was a little restrained and gloomy, and said to Li Chengqian with hope.
Hearing this, and seeing him like that, Li Chengqian could hardly imagine that this was the words that a seven or eight-year-old child would say, and the demeanor he should have.
"In this way, you are very good, can the king ask you a favor and send these dishes and chopsticks back?" Li Chengqian said as he handed him the finished dishes and chopsticks in his hand and said to him.
"No problem, it is my honor to serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince" The child heard Li Chengqian's words, learned the flattering words of those adults, and said to Li Chengqian.
"It's really a good boy, go, after sending it, come and find this king" After speaking, Li Chengqian touched his head again and said to him, Li Chengqian went back to sit down.
After a while, the child cautiously came to Li Chengqian's side.
"Xiao Anzi, go get two clothes and a hundred yuan, and give it to him" Looking at this child, Li Chengqian liked it from the bottom of his heart, especially his talking eyes.
"Child, you haven't thought about studying, and you will be a useful person in the future" After instructing Xiao Anzi, Li Chengqian asked the child in Li Chengsi's curious eyes.
"I think it's thinking, but it's just thinking about it, I don't have money to study, and I still have a sister to raise" Hearing the reading, his eyes lit up, but he quickly lowered his head and whispered to Li Chengqian.
"So, you think, that's good, today this king is happy, you have helped this king, this king will give you this opportunity, the academy here in Chang'an will give you a place, and let people find you a job you can complete, child, now I hope this king will give you, can you use this opportunity to change your life and your sister's life, it depends on your ability, this king hopes that in the next ten years, this king can see you at the scene of the imperial examination, go, Xiao Anzi, you can arrange it, and you don't have to make special arrangements" After speaking, Li Chengqian asked Xiao Anzi, who had already returned, to take him down.
Hearing Li Chengqian's words, the child looked at Li Chengqian with an incredulous face, and then after a few seconds, he kowtowed to Li Chengqian a few times, hugged what Li Chengqian rewarded him, and left with Xiao Anzi.
Waiting for the child to leave, Li Chengsi asked Li Chengqian, "Big brother, you are very optimistic about this child, but I don't think he is special, if you want to say that it is special, it is those eyes that give people a special feeling."
"Is it so important to look at it or not? I just gave him a hope, but his appearance also told us that we are not good enough, if we do well, there will be no such people in this world, of course, I can't deny it, it was his sentence, I also have a sister, she was picked up by me, and I was moved.
Imagine if we were in his situation, would we still pick up a baby that someone else had thrown away? After all, I can't live anymore, and I picked up a burden, which shows that this kid's heart is very kind, so I met it, so why not give him a chance" Li Chengqian looked at the back of the child's departure and said to Li Chenghe.
Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Li Chengqian and they couldn't help but think about it according to Li Chengqian's meaning, and they all shook their heads in the end, obviously they couldn't do what that kid did, and at the same time, Li Chengqian's sentence that they were not good or not also deeply stung them and made them feel a little depressed.
"What's wrong, why are you doing with a sad face, this thing is just a wake-up call for us, it tells us that as those in power, we still have a lot to do, but we also have to go step by step, but don't think about it today, the eldest sister is happy to get married, and when the brother-in-law comes, we have to take care of him" Seeing that his younger brothers were a little emotional, Li Chengqian clapped his hands and said to them.
"Second brother, third brother, don't think about it, what the eldest brother said is right, today is the big day for the eldest sister to get married, don't think about these things at work, or think about how to fix your brother-in-law for a while" Li Tai, who was the first to react, said a few words to Li Chengsi and Li Ke, and then pulled them, and Li Chengqian discussed how to rectify Xue Rengui for a while.
Soon all the worries were put aside by them, and there was talk and laughter to discuss, after all, this matter was just an inconsequential episode in their eyes.
