Jingyang City is not big, at least in Li Chengqian's opinion, it is really small.

In later generations, a slightly larger town has a card than this Jingyang City.

However, although the sparrow is small, it also has all kinds of organs.

"Big brother, what's that?" On the street, Changle pulled Li Chengqian with one hand and bit it in his mouth with the other.

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "I got the eldest brother to make something to eat for you, let's not want that." ”

He didn't know what the woman was doing, and it wasn't that he didn't believe in the woman's craftsmanship, but the key was that the woman's black hands made him lose his appetite at once.

The sanitary conditions in these years, even for large families, are very different from those of later generations.

It's not that he's hypocritical, the key is that he's sick this year, and no matter how small the problem is, it may kill someone.

After all, the medical conditions of the Tang Dynasty were not comparable to those of later generations.

As soon as he heard Li Chengqian's words, Changle's small mouth suddenly pouted, and his face was unhappy.

Originally, she was very happy to go to the street with her eldest brother today, but she didn't have such an experience before, and she saw all kinds of novelties when she went out, which also made her forget the sorrow of leaving home.

As a result, as soon as he spoke, the eldest brother refused, which made Changle unhappy in his heart, and tears were about to burst out of his eyes.

Seeing her like this, Li Chengqian took her hand and said softly: "It's not that the eldest brother won't buy it for you, look at that aunt's hand, it's black and shady, can you eat it in your mouth with confidence?" ”

Born royal after all, it is more decent than people in the market, when Changle looked at the woman's hand again, he immediately shook his head, but at the same time shaking his head, he looked at it twice with some regret.

"His Royal Highness has a noble status, so naturally he looks down on the people in this market, but His Highness can know that the people in this market are willing to be like this, if it is not forced by life, who is willing to do this cheap business?

If Guotai is peaceful, the wind and rain are smooth, the body is still ashamed, and the family has enough surplus food to satisfy the stomach, how many people are willing to bend their waists for those five buckets of rice? ”

Just as Li Chengqian's brothers and sisters were chatting, a voice came from their left, and while they were talking, they had already come to Li Chengqian and gave up their hands.

Zhao Yan, who was guarding behind Li Chengqian, walked to Li Chengqian's side when he heard the sound and said in a low voice: "This person is Jingyang Zhixian, Cui Mingyuan." ”

While talking, he and the other two protected Li Chengqian's brother and sister in the middle.

Li Chengqian is no stranger to this person, at least in their discussions last night, this person's name was mentioned repeatedly.

It's just that he didn't expect that it would be in such an environment that he met Jingyang's parents, and when he heard the words, he let go of Changle's hand, and then he arched his hand and said: "Be taught." ”

He behaved humbly.

But the more humble he was, the more confused Cui Mingyuan became.

Judging from the news from Chang'an yesterday, their Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a rebellious personality, and there are always shocking words.

Shouldn't such a person behave so humble?

Although he doesn't like Cui Hao, he recognizes Cui Hao's ability.

If it weren't for that, why could Cui Hao rewrite two percent of the fertile land under his nose to the Cui family's name?

And even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, whom even Cui Hao finds difficult to deal with, is he really such a humble person?

For a moment, he was a little stunned.

"Does the prefectural magistrate think I'm different from what I've been rumored?" Seeing that Cui Mingyuan didn't speak, Li Chengqian asked with a smile.

Cui Mingyuan came back to his senses, nodded, and said, "It's really different." ”

He has the habit of going around the city or outside the city every day, mainly to better understand the lives of the common people, and in any case, he is a pragmatic official.

The same is true today.

In fact, he found out about Li Chengqian and his party early on, but he never wanted to have anything to do with him, but when Li Chengqian said that, he couldn't help but open his mouth.

As for how he, a seventh-grade petty official, knew to be the crown prince of the court, this is not enough for outsiders.

"It's no different." Li Chengqian took Changle's hand again and said, "If the county magistrate is as aggressive as others, he will naturally find that I am no different from the rumors. ”

Li Chengqian knows very well that he can be rebellious or arrogant, but there must be a reason for all this, which is very important.

Cui Mingyuan nodded, he was born in the royal family, and he was the crown prince of the dynasty, even if he was only ten years old, it was impossible for him to really treat him as a child.

"It's better to meet than to be famous, Your Highness......"

Before Cui Mingyuan finished speaking, Li Chengqian interrupted: "Don't call Your Highness, when I step out of Taiji Palace and walk out of Chang'an City, I will no longer be His Highness, let me introduce myself, my surname is Li, my name is Chengqian, the word is Gaoming, and the county magistrate calls me Gaoming." ”

He didn't think about changing his name or anything, not that he didn't say anything nonsense like not changing his name or changing his surname, but he knew very well that this name could save his life at a critical time.

Childe laughed. Of course, Cui Mingyuan will not call him Gaoming, he is a standard Confucian scholar, Confucian etiquette such as superiority and humility, which he takes very seriously, "Your Majesty will not make an edict for a day, and the prince is still my Tang prince." ”

"Don't talk about that." Li Chengqian didn't want to entangle with him on this issue, and said, "I don't know if the county magistrate is looking for me today, but what advice do you have?" ”

Cui Mingyuan was a little embarrassed, he just saw that Li Chengqian was quite disdainful of the people's means of livelihood, so he opened his mouth. But to say that there is a desire to find him is pure nonsense.

As far as he is concerned, Li Chengqian's passage through Jingyang City, as long as he does not make trouble under his rule, he should not know.

He neither wanted to get involved in the disputes in the court, nor did he want to damage the interests of the people of Jingyang because of Li Chengqian.

In his eyes, there is only this small Jingyang City.

But at this time, Li Chengqian asked like this, he couldn't answer like this, and after a moment of silence, Cui Mingyuan said: "The heart of the son is not as good as my generation." But the son has been clothed and fed since he was a child, but he has many misunderstandings about the livelihood methods of the people at the bottom. ”

Hearing him say this, Li Chengqian smiled.

He didn't know about Cui Mingyuan, but Zhao Yan and a few people also inquired in the city yesterday, not to mention anything else, Cui Mingyuan's official reputation was very good, and the people were also very convinced of him.

Regardless of whether he is a member of the Cui family or not, at least for this reason, he is worthy of Li Chengqian's admiration for him.

In fact, Li Chengqian still has some misunderstandings about the Tang Dynasty, especially the scholars in the early Tang Dynasty, maybe he has read too many novels, anyway, in the novels he has read before, few of these scholars are good.

But I have to admit that there are really few big traitors in this era, at most, they are for the sake of the family.

"The county magistrate is reasonable, I have indeed been clothed and fed since I was a child, and I have not experienced the difficulties of the people at the bottom to make a living, so I really shouldn't talk nonsense."

Li Chengqian's posture was very low, and Cui Mingyuan nodded frequently, and everyone who reads has a bad habit, that is, he hopes that his preaching can be accepted by the parties concerned.

From this point alone, Cui Mingyuan felt that this prince was not bad, he could listen to people's persuasion, and he may have behaved a little crazy at times, but it was just a child's heart.

But just when he thought so, Li Chengqian's voice changed, and he said, "But if the magistrate thinks that what I just said is just because of that woman's cheap business and I despise her, then you will be wronged boy." ”

After speaking, Li Chengqian looked at Cui Mingyuan with a smile.

Cui Mingyuan was obviously surprised, although Li Chengqian's tone was calm, the meaning revealed in his words was not peaceful at all.

"What do you mean by that?"
