Chapter 123: Boiling Beans and Burning Beans

Today's weather is gray, with some earthy cool breeze blowing, making people feel a little bored, the street is still full of people, many farmers carry the newly harvested crops on both sides of the street to sell, but the most is soybeans, there are a lot of edamame with pods on the side of the stall, the water looks gratifying, Li Chengqian took a handful of beans, twisted them in his hand, the fruit is ripe, this year can be regarded as a good year.

"How do you sell beans?"

When the stall owner saw a child asking for beans, he pointed a finger deep in his teeth and said, "Ten cents a catty, if you buy more than nine cents." As he spoke, he pointed to the pot of edamame beans next to him and said, "Fifteen cents a pound over there." ”

Some people always like to use edamame to accompany wine, which is a small dish, but edamame is always more expensive than soybeans, not to mention that edamame is about to pass the climate, and after this stubble of soybeans, there is no need to eat.

"Come three catties of edamame, and do you have any bean salary, if you have one, come to two bundles, and calculate the money." said that he took out half a hanging money from the skilled guards, and lost them to the stall owners one by one, but he didn't expect to be despised by the stall owners.

"I'm afraid that the little boy is not from his hometown, we Hebei people are not as stingy as you, counting money and counting next to each other, we have also gone to clan school."

Saying that, he snatched a bunch of money from the guards, and counted forty-five wen in five or five, so fast that Li Chengqian was speechless for a while, when he was in Chang'an, many people were not very familiar with numbers, and they had to count them one by one, otherwise they would be easy to mess up.

In addition, when I heard that this peddler had taken a family study, I was immediately interested.

"Uncle also went to ethnology? How many years have you been on it? ”

The dealer weighed three catties of edamame, put them into the burlap bag handed to him by the guard, turned around to the firewood, and said to Li Chengqian over and over again: "Almost all of us in these ten miles and eight towns have gone to ethnic studies, and the gentlemen are all invited by the family, or the husband of the family teaches them himself, and he went to school for two years when he was a child, and the family felt that he could not learn well, so he didn't go, and this firewood was collected for you~ a total of three articles." Saying that, Han Han laughed: "This firewood originally didn't charge money, who taught you that you are not from your hometown." ”

Hehe~

Li Chengqian and everyone bowed their faces, looking at the smug hawker and kicking it up, why do foreigners have a grudge against you?

The Lu family is in the east of the city, not far from the place where Li Chengqian bought soybeans, but it is thirty or fifty steps away, but the Lu family at this time is a different scene, the bells and drums are ringing, the drums are intertwined, as if they are listening to singing and dancing, everyone just arrived at the door, and they saw the middle gate open four times, and an old man in a white skirt walked up to him, seeing Li Chengqian snorted lightly, but he was still respectful and respectful, and said: "Minister ~ Lu Shoucheng ~ has seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Everyone obviously didn't expect the Lu family to open the middle door to greet them, Li Chengqian was also a little confused by the sudden change, seeing that Lu Lao was still saluting, Li Chengqian also quickly replied respectfully and said softly: "I've seen Lu Lao~ This time I went to Zhuo County, passed by your land, and bothered ~"

Lu Shoucheng got up and smiled, didn't say much, turned sideways, and said to Li Chengqian: "The humble house is shabby~ and I won't give up." ”

"If the Lu family, one of the five surnames, is a humble house, then won't the rest become shacks? I will definitely explain this to a few old gentlemen. Seeing that Lu Shoucheng's face was a little red, Li Chengqian blinked mischievously, sneered, handed the sack in his hand to the housekeeper on the side and said: "Your lord is too angry, I bought some edamame to vent the fire for your lord, I originally wanted to buy some pineapple cakes, but I didn't meet one in the city, but Fan Yang and Chang'an are much worse." ”

Hearing this, the servants of the Lu family all glared angrily, and the housekeeper also clutched the burlap bag, his face was a little red, but he still bowed in thanks.

Lu Shoucheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then laughed angrily, stepped forward and grabbed Li Chengqian's sleeve and said angrily: "The old man is not as evil as you and me before, open the middle door and treat each other politely, you are so humiliated with me, come and come~ The old man has a good consultation with you, how can the old man be angry, how can this Fan Yang not be as good as Chang'an." As he spoke, he dragged Li Chengqian into the Lu Mansion, leaving dozens of guards with a bewildered expression.

"Old Lu is rude ~ rude ~ "

Lu Shoucheng's hand was very strong, and he didn't let go of Li Chengqian's hand, not caring about the surprised eyes of hundreds of servants, Li Chengqian let Lu Shoucheng pull him vigorously while shouting rudely.

At this moment, Lu Shoucheng's face was flushed, his face was angry, the little rabbit cub slapped his face three times and twice, the good official Shangshu was taken away by the eldest grandson Wuji, and his good face was stripped clean by Li Chengqian, and he might be able to say a few courtesies to others, but he really couldn't be polite to Li Chengqian.

"Rite? The old man doesn't even want face now, and he still wants to be polite? Today, the old man will definitely ask you to understand! Argue clearly! ”

While speaking, the two of them were shocked to the flower hall, Lu Lao let go of Li Chengqian's hand, drove away the servants in the flower hall, and snorted: "You used the reputation of my Lu family to achieve your father's righteousness, and used the face of my Lu family to exchange the other four families' genealogy, originally the old man thought that the Lu family would come to an end, but who knew that you would stop after I left Chang'an~ If the old man can't understand it, it can be regarded as a vain life, the boy Lu family has a heavy price, you don't want to repay it, forget it, and still do such an act today, What happened to the five members of my Lu family? ”

Li Chengqian sat on the low table and kept dodging backwards, but as long as he dodged for a point, Lu Shoucheng's body made up a point, until the faces of the two were about to come together, Li Chengqian turned over and hid to the side, wiped the spit on his face with his sleeve and said: "Hey~ Make it clear, your Lu Wei is dissolute and has done a good thing, what's wrong with the punishment of this palace?" Besides, my father's accession to the throne was rushed by several families to help manage it, how did he exchange your Lu family's face. Besides, this palace kindly came to see you today, but you were so insulted. As he spoke, he raised his feet and took a step back, and said with a smile: "I must ask Zheng Lao and a few people to understand, whether the dignified Fan Yang Lu clan patriarch made such a rude thing, is it a harbinger of the collapse of etiquette!" ”

Lu Shoucheng took a breath, looked at Li Chengqian coldly, and snorted: "What a sharp-toothed boy, the old man won't argue with you about this." After saying this, Li Chengqian, who was also a scholar, sat on a low table, stared at Li Chengqian and said: "Now that Luo Yi's tens of thousands of troops are on the other side of Xushui, it is just a day and a night of work to Fanyang, and it is better to think more about how to deal with the enemy." ”

said with a grin, and said to himself: "The old man has no talent, the literature can't settle the country, and the military can't open up the territory, but the old man can't be bullied, right?" Let the old man and the Lu family's family learn and those grains and grasses together, and burn them to the ground~"

Lu Shoucheng's words really scared Li Chengqian, the most important part of dealing with Luo Yi is grain and grass, if Luo Yi gets the 100,000 stone of grain and grass, maybe what the madman can do, in addition to the Lu family's collection of books, Li Chengqian has been coveting it for a long time, and after glancing at the old man, Li Chengqian secretly scolded the old fox in his heart.

"How can Lu Lao be like this, Luo Yi is only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, so he is not afraid, but if this collection of books is burned, wouldn't it be a pity? If Mr. doesn't give up, he will transport the collection of books to Chang'an tonight, and Cheng Qian will keep it on his behalf? ”

The old man squinted at Li Chengqian, and almost drowned Li Chengqian with a mouthful of old phlegm, but he underestimated Li Chengqian's shamelessness, and snorted and said, "Skee! If so, the old man still burned those books! ”

The two sat on the desk and stared at each other with big eyes, unaware that behind the screen, Lu Shouren was looking at this side in a cold sweat, he seemed to have never seen his father behave like this, and even made him feel that his current father was somewhat similar to those bargaining women on the street, out of sight, he wanted to escape through the back door, but he couldn't bear his curiosity, and finally chose to stay and continue to watch.

After thinking for a moment, Li Chengqian sighed and said: "Old Lu, I don't have to hide it from you now, if you want any conditions, just mention it, as long as you can keep the grain and grass, even if it is more price, I will agree." ”

The corners of Lu Shoucheng's mouth hooked, he got up and tidied up his clothes, and said loudly: "First, my Lu family has re-entered the WTO, second, I want to print the Lu family's classics for free, and the original place must be returned, and third, you promise the other four families to do the things of the school, count me as a share of the Lu family." ”

Li Chengqian twitched the corners of his mouth, looked at Lu Shoucheng and said: "I can't control the matter of the Lu family's entry into the WTO, it's all my father's decision, I can agree to print the classics, but the last thing to do is to do learning, I can't agree." ”

"Why?" Lu Shoucheng seemed to be a little anxious, frowned and glanced at Li Chengqian and asked loudly: "Although the old man is at fault, the fault is not in the Lu family, does your father think that the punishment for my Lu family is not enough?" Or maybe my Lu family can't get into the eyes of your Li family? ”

Li Chengqian shook his head when he heard this, and said softly: "That's not the case, I did discuss this matter with a few families before, but my father didn't agree." ”

"No promise?"

"Yes, if you don't agree, I must have heard about the day I ascended the throne, that is, my father's punishment for me, because of what, Mr. doesn't need me to say it."

Lu Shoucheng was slightly stunned, frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, looked at Li Chengqian and said, "Your father doesn't want you to get too close to the family?" Or is your father jealous of the family? Is it necessary? ”

"Nothing? Now there are seven or eight people in the world, if there are several families, then my Li family still has a foothold? If you are asking a few of you to open academies, these few poor families will also receive the love of a few families, has Lu Lao ever thought about the consequences of doing this? ”
