Chapter 890: Li Chengqian Likes Qi Niang?
"See sir!" I saw Li Chengqian stepping forward quickly with a smile on his face at this time, and then respectfully saluted Li Xiu.
"Undertaking ...... Prince, why are you here? Li Xiu was also very surprised at this time, this is the financial supervisor, and it is a little inappropriate for him to call Li Chengdao by his name directly, so he changed his name to the prince.
"Hehe, my father asked me to study government affairs, and I have to go around the yamen every day, so I chose the financial supervision first, because I am also very curious about the bank, and I feel that it will definitely become one of the pillars of my Datang in the future!" Li Chengqian said with a smile at this time.
Li Chengqian is fifteen years old this year, he is already as tall as Li Xiu, and his facial features have also inherited the advantages of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, and there is a bit of heroism in his handsomeness, no matter who sees him, he will think that he is the most well-deserved prince of the Tang Dynasty.
In addition, Li Chengqian is also extremely diligent and studious, and the ministers of the court are also extremely satisfied with him as a prince, such as the eldest grandson Wuji, who fully supports Li Chengqian, plus he is a student of Li Xiu, it can be said that Li Chengqian at this time is simply a chosen person, and no one can shake his position as the crown prince.
"I see, you are fifteen years old this year, and it is indeed time to share some government affairs for your father, being familiar with the operation of various yamen is only the most basic, and you also have to humbly ask some ministers for advice, such as your uncle, in addition to Fang Xiang, Du Xiang, etc.!" Li Xiu immediately took Li Chengqian and said with concern as he walked inside.
"Mr. is no worse than my uncle, so I'd better learn from Mr. first, speaking of which, I was too busy some time ago to go to Mr. to listen to the class!" When Li Chengqian said the end, he also showed an expression of annoyance on his face.
"You've grown up, and I have less and less to teach you, not to mention that I don't have time to lecture you during this time." Li Xiu couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly when he heard this, since he took over the financial supervision incident, his previous leisurely life and rest have been completely disrupted, and he really regrets it when he thinks about it.
"Mr.'s talent is world-famous, the more I follow you to learn, the more students feel their ignorance, so students still have a lot of things to learn with Mr. in the future, in addition to this time although you are very busy, but sometimes when I go to listen to the class, I find that Qi Niang can also give a lecture, and the lecture is very exciting, we all like to listen!" Li Chengqian said with great interest again at this time, although he is busy, as long as he has a little time, he will take time to go to Li Xiu's place, because only with Li Xiu can he completely let go of the identity of the prince, and Qi Niang and they will not care about his identity, everyone plays like ordinary friends.
Hearing Li Chengqian's praise, Li Xiu couldn't help but smile helplessly, in fact, the things he can teach are indeed almost taught, but there are still many things that can't be taught, such as his sights and visions in later generations, these are not what people in this era can imagine, even if he wants to teach, he can't teach, after all, he can't tell Li Chengqian that future generations will not travel in a carriage, but will run fast when they get into an iron box, and they can also ride the iron bird in the sky to practice, right?
As he spoke, Li Xiu and Li Chengqian also entered the financial supervision center, and at that moment Li Xiu first took him to his office room, and then handled the official business that he needed to handle today, and by the way, he also told Li Chengqian about the internal structure of the financial supervision and some things that he needed to be responsible for, and Li Chengqian also wrote down them one by one.
After Li Xiu dealt with official business, he took Li Chengqian around the prison, and let him see with his own eyes how the officials in the financial supervision did things, but Li Chengqian was very interested in the bank, and kept pushing Li Xiu to go to the bank, and it happened that Li Xiu had nothing to do, so he took him with him.
At that moment, Li Xiu and Li Chengqian took a carriage out of the imperial city, and the master and apprentice also chatted while walking, but at this time, Li Chengqian suddenly said: "Sir, I heard that Sister Yu Niang is engaged, when are you going to get married?" ”
Hearing Li Chengqian take the initiative to ask about his mother, Li Xiu was also stunned, after all, his sisters and sisters have never liked Li Chengqian very much because of their father Li Jiancheng, and Li Chengqian is also very interesting, and he usually never provokes them, but he didn't expect him to take the initiative to ask about his mother's marriage.
"It's indeed booked, the other party is Zhou Linfu's youngest son, who is the same age as Yu Niang, and Yu Niang also admires the other party's talent very much, and plans to wait until next year to get married!" Although Li Xiu was puzzled, he still replied.
"I hated Sister Er's marriage before, and now it's Sister Yu's turn, according to the age of the sisters in the family, the next ...... Isn't it Qi Niang's turn next? Li Chengqian first sighed when he heard this, then hesitated for a moment, and then spoke again.
Li Xiu heard Li Chengqian mention Qi Niang, and he frowned at the moment, because he felt that Qi Niang was the focus of Li Chengqian's question, but he didn't break it, and then he spoke again after a while: "You also know Qi Niang's character, if she doesn't want to marry, I, as a brother, can't do it, and her vision is high, and no man can enter her eyes for the time being, so now I am also very anxious!" ”
"Qi Niang got the true inheritance of Mr., and her vision is not comparable to that of ordinary women, so those ordinary people are naturally not worthy of Qi Niang!" Li Chengqian heard Li Xiu's words but immediately said, although he tried his best to hide it, but there was still a bit of joy in his tone that could not be concealed.
"Ahem, that's true, but I also want to open it now, if I want to marry Qi Niang, I have to get her approval, as long as she is willing, even if it is to marry a poor scholar, I will not object!" Seeing Li Chengqian's appearance, Li Xiu couldn't help but be secretly vigilant in his heart, and deliberately spoke at the moment.
"How can a poor scholar be worthy of Qi Niang, I think only the emperor and nobles can be worthy of her, speaking of which, my mother also likes her very much, saying that among the women she has seen, only Qi Niang's personality is the most like her!" Li Chengqian spoke excitedly again at the moment.
Hearing this, Li Xiu couldn't help but secretly look up, even the stupidest person can now see that Li Chengqian is actually beating Qi Niang's idea, listen to the meaning of his words, even the eldest grandson queen praised Qi Niang, and said that Qi Niang is the most like her, it is almost like saying that Qi Niang is suitable to be the crown princess, and she will be the queen of the world in the future.
"Cough~, the queen is overrated, Qi Niang's temperament is very arrogant, she usually doesn't look like a woman, your aunt introduced her to several men on blind dates, but she drove them away, and I was almost angry at that time!" Li Xiu coughed dryly at the moment, although he understood, he deliberately pretended to be confused, and did not answer Li Chengqian's words at all.
Seeing that Li Xiu didn't answer his words, Li Chengqian also seemed a little embarrassed, feeling that he seemed to be in a hurry, and he hurriedly changed the topic elsewhere, which was also in line with Li Xiu's intentions, and in the next conversation, neither of them mentioned Qi Niang again.
The bank that came to the West Market got off the carriage, compared to when it first opened, the current bank is not as crowded as before, but there are still a lot of people, such as there are many people waiting in line in the hall, and there is a smaller hall on the east side of the bank, but there are more people there, because there is the pledge warehouse distributed by the bank, and there are definitely not a few people who come to pawn things every day.
Li Xiu took Li Chengqian into the bank through another door, first brought him to the second floor of the bank, looked at the hall below from above, personally explained the bank's business to him, and then took him into the interior of the bank, so that Li Chengqian could understand how the bank operated, as well as his future plans for the bank, and so on.
Li Chengqian has studied with Li Xiu since he was a child, and has also heard Li Xiu talk about some knowledge related to finance, so he can understand the role of banks better than anyone else, especially after listening to Li Xiu's plan for banks, his eyes are even brighter, if the entire banking system can really be established, then Datang can control the economy of various places, which is definitely a great thing for strengthening local rule.
Li Xiu accompanied Li Chengqian to soak in the bank for most of the day, and even ate lunch here, speaking of which, Li Chengqian didn't have any shelf, and he also ate in the canteen with Li Xiu, but when the officials in the bank learned that he was the prince of the Tang Dynasty, they were all very in awe, and no one dared to approach him and Li Xiu during the meal, as for Xu Jingzong, he went to Luoyang a few days ago, otherwise he would definitely post it, after all, this is a rare opportunity to tie up Li Chengqian.
When it was getting late, Li Xiu and Li Chengqian were separated from each other in the bank, and Li Xiu did not go back to the financial supervision office, but went home directly from the bank, but when he got into the carriage, his face suddenly became gloomy, because he thought of Li Chengqian's words when he mentioned Qi Niang before.
In fact, Li Xiu was also strange at this time, he couldn't figure out how Li Chengqian could like Qi Niang, speaking of which, Qi Niang was three years older than him, although the two of them grew up together, but Qi Niang had been closest to Li Chengdao since she was a child, and in her eyes, Li Chengqian was probably just a little brother.
But now there is no point in considering the above, Li Xiu is worried that if Li Chengqian really likes Qi Niang and wants to marry her as the crown princess, then what should he do?
Not to mention anything else, what Qi Niang likes is Li Chengdao, even if Li Chengdao is far away in the Americas, but she also wants to go to the Americas to reunite with each other, if it wasn't for Li Chengdao's persuasion last time, I'm afraid Qi Niang would have followed the other party to the Americas a long time ago, and last time the bearded guest also helped Li Chengdao intercede, Li Xiu also replied to Zhang Shiyi, saying that he wanted to think about it and wait until next year to give the other party an answer, but he didn't expect that now he suddenly killed a Li Chengqian, now Li Xiu really feels like he has fallen into a mess, and he can't be straightened out!
