Chapter 100: Preparation

It had been several hours before Li Qing had subsided from the fever, and Xiao Rongyue asked the small kitchen to boil some white porridge, stewed a small bowl of chicken and fish soup, and brought it to the side room.

"With some food, you have been traveling for all these days, you have not had a good rest on the road, and you are injured, and it will take some time to recover." Xiao Rongyue smiled slightly and said to the weak Li Qingdao on the couch.

Li Qing turned his head to look at her: "Who are you?" Did the princess ask you to take care of me? ”

Xiao Rongyue personally helped him bring the food to the table next to the couch, and set up the silver spoon: "My surname is Xiao, you can call me Mrs. Xiao, or you can call me Xiao, the princess has entered the palace to face the saint, let me take good care of you." ”

Li Qing looked curiously at the lady in front of her, who was not much older than him, she was not afraid of him, and she didn't have any strange and curious thoughts, as if she had known him for a long time, and talked to him calmly.

He couldn't help but look at Xiao Rongyue and asked in a low voice, "Princess, is she willing to keep me?" ”

Xiao Rongyue turned her face and looked at him with a smile: "Why do you think the princess is unwilling to keep you?" ”

"It was Uncle Gu who said it," Li Qing was anxious and hurriedly explained, "They said that my aunt was ...... back then The princess suffered a lot of grievances, and the princess stayed in Chang'an and did not go to Xuzhou, also because she still blamed Grandpa and Auntie in her heart, and now that I am back, I am afraid that the princess will not keep me. ”

Xiao Rongyue put away her dress and sat down on the edge of his couch: "Uncle Gu is the one who sent you to Chang'an, right?" Do you remember what happened in the palace back then? ”

She seemed to be seriously discussing this matter with Li Qing, and wanted to listen to Li Qing, which made Li Qing very unaccustomed, although he was the eldest grandson of the emperor when he was in Xuzhou, he was young, and no one would really take what he said seriously.

He couldn't help but get serious, and shook his head with a small face: "I don't remember, I was only four years old at that time, I only remember that Grandpa took me all the way from Chang'an to Xuzhou, Xuzhou City is very small, and the palace is also very small." ”

Xiao Rongyue smiled and nodded: "You were still young at the time, and you can't even remember these, so what is between your grandfather, your aunt and the princess, how can I blame you." ”

She looked at Li Qing's confused expression, and said, "Do you know how you entered Chang'an last night?" ”

Li Qing shook his head again: "I woke up and was here, and I only remember that it was Uncle Gu who took me to a Zhuangzi before." ”

"It was the princess who took us to Zhuangzi to take you into the city," Xiao Rongyue said slowly, "If she doesn't want to keep you, why would she risk so much to break through the city gate to save you?" ”

Li Qing thought about it, and finally nodded hesitantly: "I know." ”

Very good, I can listen to others, and I know what to do, so I'm not a bear kid after all.

Xiao Rongyue pursed her lips and smiled, and asked Sanqi and the others to put the case in front of Li Qing: "Let's have some food now, there will be a lot of trouble in Chang'an next, the princess has to bother to deal with many things, we can't make trouble for her, only if we get better earlier, can we think of helping her." ”

Li Qing was treated like an adult for the first time, and said that he could also help, his heart was suddenly full of joy and ambition, nodded heavily, reached out and took a silver spoon and scooped up a small spoonful of white porridge and sent it to his mouth.

Originally, it was just an ordinary white porridge, only one bite of the throat, his eyebrows were stretched, the fragrant silk miao japonica rice was boiled for several hours, boiled until it was soft and glutinous, and melted in the mouth, with a little honey in it, a trace of sweetness and sweetness but not greasy, which made people's appetite move.

He couldn't help but eat a few bites, and then looked at the bowl of fish soup, the golden soup was snow-white fish, the verdant pineapple, the crisp fungus and mushrooms, and the delicious shredded chicken, the small bowl was full of fragrance, and it looked delicious.

Xiao Rongyue smiled: "Try it, it's a fish soup made of chicken soup, and it can be restrained even if you are injured." ”

Seeing that Li Qing was full and then lying down, Xiao Rongyue went out with confidence and called Acrylic to come to the study to see her.

"How's the Buddha incense shop?" Xiao Rongyue asked him to sit down and talk back.

Akeli didn't dare to be presumptuous, and said with a forked hand: "The business of the shop is good, and the shops in front of the Dayun Temple are selling Buddha incense, but the ones in our shop are serious Tianzhu incense, and the price is also fair. ”

Xiao Rongyue nodded: "It's hard work, there are still a few things for you to arrange for people to do." ”

Acrylic hurriedly bowed: "Please ask the lady to command." ”

"There are three miscellaneous courtyards outside the temple gate of Yiningfang Daqin Temple, you send people over, give a few little beggars outside the door a few money, and say that you want to find Mao Er," Xiao Rongyue said slowly, his eyes were cold, "When I saw the old beggar, I said that I asked him for help, and I wanted to inquire about the Ruyang Marquis Mansion and the Weiwei Mansion, and I could do anything, and I was giving him a lot of money." ”

Acrylic was stunned: "Daqin Temple? There are often soup kitchens in front of the door, and they are all beggars, can they get the news? ”

Xiao Rongyue didn't explain much: "You just have to do it, tell Mao Er, if he can find out reliable news, give them another ten yuan." ”

Acrylic didn't dare to ask more, and agreed in a low voice.

Xiao Rongyue said again: "There is one more thing, these few transactions in our house are not enough now, and then the princess is afraid that she will have to use people and money, so why should we help with it." ”

She pondered and said: "The weaving and dyeing workshop and the porcelain workshop are both relying on the Jiangning Mansion, I'm afraid it will be difficult to become bigger, and I have to think about something else." ”

Acrylic had an idea: "The small ones used to be merchants, and they often traveled back and forth between Chang'an and the countries of the Western Regions, so knowing the most wanted goods of the merchants, it is better to open a tea shop again, and directly exchange goods with those caravans in the Western Regions, and exchange their carpets, spices and strange goods for our silk, porcelain and tea, so as to save a lot of money and silver, and can also exchange these goods cheaply, but it is a profitable business." ”

Xiao Rongyue's eyes lit up: "It's not difficult to open a tea shop, there are good tea leaves in Jiangning Mansion, but you still have to go to the caravans in the Western Regions, you know nonsense, and you know the trick best." ”

Acrylic smiled and bowed: "Don't worry, lady, the little one will be done." ”

Xiao Rongyue squinted slightly, what she wanted was not one or two businesses, she wanted more, she had the Xiao family's weaving and dyeing workshop and porcelain in her hands, as long as there was a supply of tea, it would not be difficult to take over a large number of Hu Shang's business.

She got up and walked to the window, looking at a Xifu begonia growing lush and bright outside the window, frowning slightly, in fact, money and people are not the most important, the most important thing is the princess, the eldest grandson of the emperor is young, if the princess can't really stand up, then no matter how much money and people don't help.

After all, what they have to face is not an ordinary family like the Du family, but the crown prince, King Yu and King Liang, almost all the powerful people in the court, and ...... Your Majesty, no one knows what Your Majesty's plans will be for this eldest grandson who has not been seen for many years.
