Kong Jingrou nodded shyly, then closed her eyes and lay quietly in the bathtub. Waiting for Li Ke to help him bathe.

Kong Jingrou suddenly smelled the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, and then couldn't help but open her eyes. looked at the soap in Li Ke's hand curiously.

Then he said, "San Lang, what are you holding in your hand?" Why is there a fragrance of osmanthus? How I haven't used this bath bean before. ”

"I wasn't holding a bath bean, I was holding a soap. It is an item that is specially used for bathing. Although it has a similar function to bath beans, it is a hundred times better. Li Ke said to Kong Jingrou with a smile.

Kong Jingru reached out and took the soap from Li Ke's hand, put it on the side of her nose and sniffed it. Then he asked, "Why haven't I seen you take out this soap before?"

Fortunately, Li Ke had already thought of his words, so he said to Kong Jingrou with a smile: "This is what Li Shang of the Treasure Pavilion gave me before we came to Qufu. ”

"I forgot it in my arms for a while, and if I hadn't seen you taking a bath today, I really don't know when I'll be able to remember."

Although Kong Jingrou is married to Li Ke, she never asks about Li Ke. So naturally, I didn't know that Jueweixuan and Qizhen Pavilion belonged to Li Ke.

So he nodded and said, "After we go back to Qizhou, you must go to the Treasure Pavilion and buy a few more pieces back." I love them so much. ”

"You can use it with confidence, the shopkeeper of the Treasure Pavilion gave me three pieces at a time." After Li Ke finished speaking, he took out two more pieces from his arms and put them in front of Kong Jingrou.

Seeing Li Ke take out two more pieces of soap, Kong Jingrou hurriedly reached out and put them away. For fear that Li Ke would take it back again.

Then he no longer paid attention to Li Ke, but kept smearing soap on his body. I can't wait to rub the scent of soap into my body.

And Li Ke sat at the table alone, drinking tea while smiling and admiring the beauty out of the bath. It's definitely one of life's great pleasures.

……

Early the next morning, Kong Jingrou took Li Ke to greet Kong Zhixuan and his wife. But at this time, there were not only Kong Zhixuan and his wife in the study.

Kong Jingrou's eldest brother Kong Huiyuan and his wife are also there. Seeing Li Ke and Kong Jingrou walking in, he hurriedly got up to greet him.

Before Li Ke could meet his father-in-law and mother-in-law, the four of them had already saluted Li Ke first. After all, Li Ke's identity is the Prince of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Ke hurriedly helped Kong Zhixuan up, and said, "Father-in-law doesn't have to be so polite. I am the king of Qi in front of people, and I am Jingrou's husband at home. ”

"I should salute my father-in-law and brother-in-law, how can there be a rule for elders to salute juniors. Isn't that killing me? ”

Kong Zhixuan waved his hand and said, "King Qi has royal blood flowing in his body, even if he marries a little girl, he shouldn't salute me in white clothes." ”

"If it is passed on, won't the people of the world laugh at me Qufu Confucius family for not knowing the courtesy of the monarch and the minister."

Hearing Kong Zhixuan's words, Li Ke shook his head helplessly. I couldn't help but think in my heart: "It is said that Confucian disciples are pedantic, but it seems that it is really not hearsay." ”

At this time, Kong Huiyuan's wife said in surprise: "Princess, how can you have a faint fragrance of osmanthus on your body?" ”

"Sister-in-law's nose is so good, my little sister used soap to bathe last night. My sister-in-law can still smell the fragrance this morning. Kong Jingrou said to Kong Huiyuan's wife with a smile.

"Jingrou, what is soap. Why does it smell after bathing? Kong Zhixuan's wife also asked curiously.

"This was when I was in Qizhou, and the shopkeeper of the Treasure Pavilion gave it to His Highness. It's much easier to use than bath beans. Kong Jingrou opened her mouth and said to her mother.

"I don't know what this soap looks like, can I show my mother?" Kong Zhixuan's wife opened her mouth and asked Kong Jingrou.

"Mother, when I came, Li Shang, the shopkeeper of Jueweixuan, gave His Royal Highness three pieces of soap. I only used one and two more in my hands. ”

"I just gave one piece to each of my mother and sister-in-law." Kong Jingrou said with a smile. Then he took out two more pieces of soap from his bosom and gave them to his mother and sister-in-law.

When the two of them took the soap, they were overjoyed. Although in the 21st century, the appeal of this soap to women no longer exists.

However, during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, this soap was no less attractive to women than those skin care products in the 21st century.

This also made Li Ke firm in his belief, that is, after returning to Qizhou. handed over the production method of this soap to Li Yin.

Strive to get the soap out in a short period of time, presumably this soap will definitely cause a sensation in the market after it comes out. At that time, Li Ke will really have a lot of money.

At this time, Kong Zhixuan opened his mouth and said: "King Qi, don't forget that you are the royal family of the Tang Dynasty. It is better to keep some distance from those merchants as well. ”

"Otherwise, I'm afraid that someone will say bad things about you in the court, and it will even affect your status in the eyes of famous families in the world. At that time, the gains will really outweigh the losses. ”

Li Ke naturally understood the meaning of Kong Zhixuan's words, after all, in ancient times, the rank of Shinong industry and commerce had been deeply rooted.

The sons and grandsons of merchants do not even have a chance to gain fame. It can also be seen from this how low the status of merchants was in ancient times.

So Li Ke opened his mouth and said to Kong Zhixuan: "Father-in-law, even if I don't associate with businessmen. Those civil and military officials in the DPRK and China will not think that my status is very noble. ”

"Who made my grandfather a faint gentleman? Although I have the blood of the Li royal family flowing in my body, I also have the blood of the previous dynasty. ”

"So my identity is very embarrassing, although I am favored by my father. But it has become a thorn in the side of the important ministers of the court. ”

Looking at Li Ke's helpless expression, Kong Zhixuan opened his mouth and said, "What King Qi said is true. Therefore, the king of Qi should be alone. ”

"Thank you, father-in-law, for the reminder, but I really haven't thought about what status I will have in the court one day."

"All I want is to govern the people well and live a life without conflict with Jingrou." Li Ke opened his mouth and said to Kong Zhixuan.

"King Qi doesn't have to be so negative, as long as King Qi doesn't have any handle in the hands of others. With the status of my Qufu Confucian family among the Confucian scholars in the world, no one has dared to slander the reputation of King Qi. Kong Zhixuan opened his mouth and said to Li Ke.

Hearing Kong Zhixuan's words, Li Ke couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart. Because this also means that the Qufu Confucius family decided to support Li Ke.

As long as they get the support of the Confucian family in Qufu, Confucian students will come to vote one after another. At that time, there will be no one available in their own fiefdom.

So Li Ke hurriedly saluted Kong Zhixuan and said, "Thank you father-in-law for supporting the younger son-in-law, the younger son-in-law will definitely take care of himself in the fief." I will not give my father-in-law or Confucianism. ”

Hearing Li Ke's words, Kong Zhixuan couldn't help but nodded. Then he opened his mouth and said to Kong Huiyuan: "You are also idle at home, tomorrow you will take your family and go back to Qizhou with the King of Qi." ”
