Chapter Twenty-Nine: Unlucky Li Chengqian
"Gorou, don't stop me, this kid doesn't know how to count, he has to be educated." The crown princess said angrily.
Li Yuanying persuaded: "Second sister-in-law, wait a minute, compared to not knowing the number of etiquette, I think there is another problem that is more important." ”
Saying that, he walked slowly towards Li Chengqian, that smile was like nothing, it made Li Chengqian's heart feel so stressed, he didn't understand, it is said that this fifth uncle is just a commoner without a name or a point, he really dares to get along with himself as a county king?
"You say, we're an ordinary businessman, and it's impossible to have such a thing as sugar? Is it? So what do you say if I come up with evidence? Li Yuanying asked.
Li Chengqian stubbornly shouted: "That's candy, not sugar, you can't take it, but I bought it for fifty taels of gold." I was kind enough to bring a gift to my little cousin who I had never met, but I didn't expect you to be such a person, hum! ”
Okay, this ability to beat a rake, and he is still arrogant, Xiao Doudou is not used to him, no matter what his identity is, he stood up and pointed at Li Chengqian's nose and shouted: "Hey, who are you humming?" Being a thief is still so straightforward, haven't you been beaten before? ”
The appearance of gearing up, it really looks like a local snake street slicker, very cute.
Li Li, who was next to her, kindly went up and grabbed her, and whispered to persuade: "Sister Doudou, don't be angry, big brother, he won't be a thief." ”
Li Yuanying stopped her daughter, said to wait, and then walked to the backyard, returning a moment later with a large bucket with a lid.
looked at Li Chengqian playfully, "Boy, it is said that knowing mistakes can improve greatly, it doesn't matter if you make mistakes, it doesn't matter if you have a hard mouth, but you know that you make mistakes but you don't know how to repent, and even distort the facts to force words, this is a quality problem, and it has to be cured." ”
"What are you going to do? I am the king of Zhongshan County named by the emperor's grandfather, and I ......"
Before he finished speaking, Li Yuanying lifted the lid of the wooden barrel, which was full of white sugar, Li Chengqian grew his mouth, stood on the spot, and could no longer speak.
Bang! The eldest grandson of the crown princess slapped the table and scolded angrily: "Rebel, what else do you have to say?" It's not really coming. ”
Li Chengqian had never seen his mother angry, so he knelt down in fright, and cried: "Mother, the child is really not a thief, this thing was sent by someone below in the morning, saying that it was a candy from the Western Regions, I was curious and spent money to buy it, I really brought it to my cousin as a gift, I didn't expect it to be like this......
Well, the truth is revealed, and it's not a complicated case, it's just a coincidence.
The eldest grandson looked at Li Yuanying embarrassedly, and sighed hatefully: "The child can't make it, let Gorou see it." ”
Li Yuanying waved her hand and said with a smile: "The second sister-in-law is serious, but she is still a child, and she has no ability to distinguish between good and evil, so it is nothing." Besides, this child can enthusiastically bring gifts to Doudou, which shows that he is kind-hearted and good.
The younger brother said something arrogant, Cheng Qian's identity is not ordinary, if there is a small person around him, it will be a disaster to be led to crooked conduct. ”
The eldest grandson nodded and said, "Thank you fifth brother for reminding me, I will definitely investigate strictly when I go back." In that case, I won't stay longer and come back another day. ”
Li Yuanying stretched out his hand and pulled Li Chengqian up, "Okay boy, follow your mother and concubine to learn better, and don't associate with some treacherous people with bad intentions, you are the future of Datang." ”
Li Chengqian saluted with tears in his eyes and thanked the fifth uncle, and everyone could see that he was mostly wronged and rarely convinced.
Xiao Doudou stepped forward and said disgustedly: "Shame, I only know how to cry when I'm so old, and I don't know how you can be my brother." Here you go! ”
Handing over the sugar jar in his hand, Li Chengqian stubbornly turned his head away, "Don't, I said that this is a gift for you." ”
Xiao Doudou smiled and said, "My family has a big bucket of sugar, so much that I can't eat it all." For the sake of your gifts, this can is a gift from me, I guess you like candy too, and the next time you come back to play, remember to give me a separate gift to make up for it. ”
The eldest grandson pushed his son, "Take it, your sister has forgiven you, go back and clean you up." ”
In the end, Li Yuanying gave Li Li another jar of sugar, and the crown princess excused herself again and again, claiming that it was too expensive or unacceptable.
From her mouth, Li Yuanying knew that in the ancient Tang Dynasty, white sugar was so rare that there was no white sugar at all in this era.
Because of the backwardness of the sugar making process, it is quite difficult to produce some sugar, and the families of the big nobles can afford to eat sugar, or the kind of light yellow sugar with impurities, and the common people can say that many people have never seen what sugar looks like in their lives.
At this time, Li Yuanying realized how stupid it was to sell tofu brains in the morning, and he thought that his tofu brains were popular, and these diners came for my candy for a long time.
Isn't it, the price is comparable to gold, even a small spoonful is incredible, I have a bowl of tofu brain and a spoonful of sugar, only to sell for three cents? Isn't this stupid?
Just when Li Yuanying slapped her face, Qin Qiong, who had been recuperating at home for several days, began to miss the fish soup.
The big tonic soup prescribed by the imperial doctor in the palace has been drunk, and Qin Shubao feels that his body is almost replenished, so he called the imperial doctor for a follow-up examination, and if there is no problem, he will continue to drink the fish soup.
This is a highly meritorious general, and His Majesty and the crown prince attach great importance to it, so it is Dean Zhang who comes to the Tai Hospital.
The old lady doctor finished the pulse and said: "General Qin, you yourself have a chronic disease of meridian congestion, and a few days ago, you were overconsumed and caused exhaustion and collapse, these days the tonic has replenished the qi and blood, and you can't continue to take supplements, if the qi and blood are too vigorous, it will cause the congested meridians and blood vessels to be overwhelmed, but it will be counterproductive." ”
When Qin Qiong heard this, he laughed and said: "It's okay, let Imperial Doctor Zhang come here, I just want you to say this, I am tired of drinking this tonic every day, and finally I don't have to drink it, as for my old injury, just drink fish soup for a while." ”
As he spoke, he shouted to his son to see off the guest, and he was about to go out.
Imperial Doctor Zhang panicked and hurriedly stopped, "General Qin, what Lao Yugang said very clearly, your body can no longer be supplemented, although fish soup is not medicine, but food supplements are the same, don't be careless." ”
Qin Qiong didn't understand the medical way, waved his hand and said: "The fish soup is to dredge the meridians, not tonic, the doctor can rest assured, nothing will happen." ”
What fish soup can have the effect of dredging the meridians? Imperial Physician Zhang didn't believe it, he thought that Qin Qiong was perfunctory for the sake of appetite, so he stopped him and persuaded him to turn back.
It's not because of his age, Qin Shubao really wants to push him away, he has been hungry for fish soup for several days, why do you want to stutter so hard.
was overwhelmed by the block, Qin Qiong said helplessly: "That's it, Imperial Doctor Zhang, since you don't believe what Qin said, then you and I make a bet, you and I go to see the fish soup, if it really has the effect of dredging the meridians, even if Qin wins, I won't bet with you much, you just help me pay for the meal." On the contrary, if the fish soup does not have this effect, Qin promised you that if you don't taste a bite, how about I invite you to a meal as a thank you? ”
"Okay, bet! I don't believe it, I've lived most of my life, and I can't even tell the difference between tonic and laxatives, I'll go with you. "Imperial Doctor Zhang is also a little angry, the Tang Dynasty people are good at gambling, regardless of the old and the young, at this time, there is no one to admit it.
