Chapter Twenty-Three: Yan Jinghe
Chapter 23 Yan Jinghei
"What then?" Li Zhen touched her forehead in distress and looked at Concubine Yan expectantly, hoping that Concubine Yan would give her an idea.
"Forget about the past, as long as you don't perform so well." Concubine Yan thought for a moment and came up with an idea.
"This is easy to do, and if my father asks me in the future, I will pretend not to know." Li Zhen said suddenly.
"It's even worse." Concubine Yan picked Li Zhen up and nodded his nose: "In this way, you will arouse your father's idea even more, as long as you behave a little better than your brothers." β
"Got it." Li Zhen nodded in understanding, and then rested her chin on the back of her hand in distress: "But what should these shops do?" It can't be empty, right? β
"The shop and workshop will be handed over to the mother concubine, although your uncle is not a big official, but he is also a founding county prince, it is still okay for him to find a few reliable people, not to mention your uncle's grandfather's family."
"Thank you, Princess." Li Zhen stood up and saluted decently: "But in order to avoid others from gossiping, the child should ask his uncle to help the child buy a few people in the human market." β
Relatives or something is too disgusting, as long as they are stained, you don't want to get rid of them, it is better not to play with them from the beginning, so that although the initial development is difficult, it is still necessary for the sake of the long term. The slaves bought in the human market are different, as long as they have slave documents in their hands, they can only be your slaves for the rest of their lives, and when they are freed from slavery later, they will be more grateful to Dade.
"That's fine." In fact, Concubine Yan didn't really want her brother to meddle in royal affairs, but she didn't have anyone in her hands, and after listening to Li Zhen's method, she felt that it was just what she wanted, so she agreed.
On the way back, although the weather was hot, Li Zhen's back was cold. Indeed, I have been too showy for a while, not to mention ice-making, the next enlightenment books, printing, papermaking and today's horseshoe, which of these is not something that will be famous for eternity? But he actually came up with four things in a row in a short period of time.
This is the palace, it is more cruel and terrible than the court battle, and the place where you eat people and don't spit out bones, now you are only three years old, in case any concubine or prince looks at yourself unpleasantly, give yourself a 'violent death', you have no place to cry, who knows if you can wear it again? Anyway, some time ago, I even wanted to be the husband of a few brothers, but fortunately I didn't do it, otherwise according to Li Su and Li You's lawless nature, it is really possible to let myself 'die violently', and it is terrible to think about it.
"Looks like I'm going to keep a low profile." Li Zhen made a decision in her heart, as long as Li Shimin didn't take the initiative to ask herself, she would never take anything out againβexcept for meals.
"But...... It's better to have a trip to the palace. Li Zhenxia decided not to reveal anything, but he still needs to make money. He decided to personally go to the palace to select a few artisan slaves, especially foreign slaves, and when the time came, he only had to press all the fruits on the head of the Far West. Although this is suspected of covering one's ears and stealing the bell, it is much better than exposing oneself directly outside, anyway, he is just moving his mouth, and all the people who do it are craftsmen.
Three days later, Li Zhen's uncle Yan Jingsi was summoned into the palace by Concubine Yan, Li Zhen, as a nephew, naturally wanted to see him, Yan Jingsi was about thirty years old, not tall, Xu was pampered for a long time, but he was chubby, Li Zhen bowed in a proper manner: "I've seen my uncle." β
"Ouch, it's been a long time since I saw Zhen'er." Yan Jingsi hugged Li Zhen: "Do you miss your uncle?" β
"Thought." At this time, can Li Zhen say that she didn't think about it? However, he did think about it, and he was going to take the opportunity of Yan Jingsi to enter the palace this time to go out of the palace to have a look, so he didn't lie.
"That's good." Yan Jingsi smiled and took out a string of pearls: "This is given to you by your uncle." β
"Thank you, uncle." Li Zhen took the pearl unceremoniously, she couldn't imagine that this uncle was so rich.
"Big brother, you're spending money again." Concubine Yan on the side said angrily.
Yan Jingsi waved his arrogant hand: "It's okay, I can still afford a string of pearls, and how can my uncle spend money indiscriminately when he gives a gift to his nephew?" β
"That's right, when I grow up in the future, I will give my uncle ten strings of pearls." Li Zhen was on the side to help.
"Hahaha......" Yan Jingsi was even more overjoyed, and said to Li Zhen: "Then uncle is waiting for Zhen'er and your ten strings of pearls." β
asked Concubine Yan again: "By the way, what did you do when you recruited me into the palace?" β
"That's the case......" Concubine Yan said the matter again: "So I asked my eldest brother to help me find a few suitable candidates." β
"It's okay, isn't it just a capable slave? Leave this to me. Yan Jingsi took it all in, and said to Li Zhen: "I didn't expect Zhen'er to enter so powerful now." β
"That's it." Li Zhen was very stinky and said, "I'm the best." β
"That's right, Zhen'er is the best. Don't talk about anything else, let's just talk about food, I've heard about it a long time ago, Zhen'er, you eat better than the emperor. β
"It's the same now." Li Zhen raised her hand and said, "I will always send food to my father and mother now." β
"Well, yes, Zhen'er is really a filial child." Yan Jingsi was even more satisfied.
After eating the food that Linglong had cooked, Yan Jingsi was even more satisfied: "Zhen'er's knowledge is worthy of being learned from the gods, and Zhen'er, if you want to compare your food, Uncle and I really lived in vain in the first half of my life." β
"There is a restaurant in the shop that my father rewarded Zhen'er, and after Zhen'er has trained the chef, my uncle can go there to eat at will, and I won't charge you money."
"Then my uncle will be blessed." Yan Jingsi was overjoyed.
Li Zhen saw that Yan Jingsi was happy, so she leaned on his ear and whispered, "Uncle, can I discuss something with you?" β
"Oh? Anything, as long as your uncle can do it, your uncle will definitely promise you. "Yan Jingsi has a big package.
Li Zhen said: "Uncle can you take me out to play, I haven't been out of the palace yet." β
"This ......" Yan Jingsi looked at Concubine Yan, saw her glaring at her, obviously had heard it, and said to Li Zhen: "This uncle can't be the master, I have to ask your mother and father about this." β
When Li Zhen heard this, she immediately looked at Concubine Yan with the big eyes of the cute dead: "Mother Concubine, is it okay?" β
Concubine Yan originally disagreed, but when she saw Li Zhen's prayerful eyes, she couldn't say anything if she refused, and sighed and said: "I have to ask your father about this, even if your mother agrees, your father can't help it if he doesn't agree." β
"But the boy really seems to go out and have a look." Li Zhen's pitiful appearance deeply touched Concubine Yan: "Okay, don't pretend to be pitiful, isn't it okay for the mother to beg your father for you?" β
"Thank you, Princess." Li Zhen was overjoyed, knowing that this matter had already become eight or nine.
"Mother, please drink juice!" Li Zhen obediently handed over the juice, saying that since Li Zhen invented the juicer, juice has swept the entire Tang Dynasty, and there are many skillful craftsmen who have imitated the juicer, even in the palace, no one asks for juice here with Li Zhen anymore, and Li Zhen is also happy to be quiet.
"Okay, the mother concubine will ask your father for you."
"Yes, Concubine Xie."
