Chapter 337: The Prince's Apprenticeship
Li Chengqian walked over step by step with a red face, and first saluted Xiangcheng and Zhao De, "I've seen my sister, I've seen my husband." ”
When it was Xiao Rui's turn, he didn't even dare to raise his head, and called out to his brother-in-law weakly.
The old servant bowed and saluted: "The old slave has seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Xiao Rui rubbed his head and scolded with a smile: "Even if you kid still have a little conscience, you know to come and see me." It can't be taught by the queen, right? ”
"No, it's not...... The queen mother, the queen mother doesn't say that I am also going to come. Li Chengqian hurriedly defended.
Xiao Rui and Zhao Deyan glanced at each other, and at the same time smiled bitterly, meaning that this student was too scheming.
Xiangcheng hurriedly escorted his younger brother to sit down beside him, glanced at Xiao Rui and said, "You, you know that Cheng Qian is still young, but you always scare him." It's not that he doesn't want to come to see you, but you beat him every time you meet, and you're scared. ”
Xiao Rui said innocently: "Am I so terrible? Besides, he used to beat him because he looked like he didn't have a beating...... Ahem, don't say it, don't say it, don't beat it in the future. Cheng Qian, you said you came to see me, just empty-handed? ”
Li Chengqian was embarrassed and said: "I don't know what my brother-in-law likes, so I went to ask Sister Changle, and she told me that my brother-in-law loves money the most." I...... I don't have any money. ”
Zhao Deyan couldn't help laughing, "It's not that you don't have money, you don't have as much money as Xiao Rui." Silly boy, you were teased by Princess Changle. ”
The old waiter stood aside and scolded: "Mr. Zhao, it's not good to be so rude to my prince. ”
Zhao Deyan hurriedly waved his hand, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I forgot for a while that this was in Chang'an." ”
Before Xiao Rui could speak, Li Chengqian opened his mouth to defend it, "It's okay, Mr. Zhao taught me homework in the grassland, and he is my teacher, so you can't be rude." ”
Teacher?
Xiao Rui teased: "He has only taught you for a few days?" Just defend him so kindly. A boy with no conscience, who has lived in my Xiaojiazhuang for so many days, is full of resentment towards me. ”
Xiangcheng pushed her husband: "Okay, let's talk about it." ”
Xiao Rui hurriedly stopped and asked Li Chengqian: "Chengqian, since you have admitted Mr. Zhao's teacher-student relationship. So what if you let Mr. Zhao stay in the East Palace and continue to teach you your homework? Would you like to? ”
Li Chengqian was pleasantly surprised: "Really? Really? That's what I thought, but I was afraid that my father wouldn't agree, so I didn't dare to speak. Because Mr. is a Turkic military advisor after all, he ......"
Xiao Rui laughed and said: "Before, water and fire were incompatible, each was its own master, but today in the Tang Dynasty, what happened to the identity of the general?" In the Tang Dynasty, more than half of them are generals, who dares to say anything? ”
"Silly boy, you can kowtow to the teacher now."
"Huh? Right now? Is it so sloppy? Li Chengqian was a little confused.
Xiao Rui said with relief: "Do you think Mr. Zhao is a person who is obsessed with those false courtesies?" ”
Oh.
Li Chengqian obediently knelt down and saluted Zhao Deyan, "Student Li Chengqian kowtowed to Mr. ”
Zhao Deyan was very satisfied with this student, and he sighed infinitely in his heart, he had been hiding for half his life, and he didn't even have a suitable successor, and now he could finally teach students openly.
didn't stick to those red tapes, just let Li Chengqian kowtow and help him up.
Xiao Rui arched his hand and said, "Congratulations to Mr. Zhao on being promoted to the crown prince." ”
The old waiter's mouth opened, and he wanted to remind him that the prince Fu was not self-proclaimed, and it was a bit arrogant for the Hou Ye to say this, which was inappropriate.
Zhao Deyan hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't dare, don't dare." Zhao Moujie wears a guilty body, and he can't be the prince. Just be a staff member by the prince's side. ”
Staff?
Xiao Rui raised his eyebrows, and his face became serious, "The staff can't do it." Brother Zhao, I invited you to be a teacher for him, and I really taught him to ask questions in college. Not a staff member who gives advice. You need to teach him to think about making decisions on his own, not to help him make decisions. ”
"He is the crown prince, and in the future, he will be surrounded by civil and military forces, and there will be no shortage of people who can give advice. But how to distinguish between loyalty and traitor, if you weigh the pros and cons of the strategy, it still depends on him. So you have a long way to go, don't be lazy. ”
Zhao Deyan glanced at Xiao Rui gratefully, and said with a mouthful, "Zhao must do his best and dare not slack off." ”
He understood what Xiao Rui meant, and the two tacitly knew that Xiao Rui was protecting him. As a staff member, the prince will take power in the future, and he may kill people and kill people. And the righteous and bright teacher of the prince, in the future, when the prince ascends the throne, not only will he not dare to touch him, but he will be more and more respected, and he can have a good death when he is old.
"Well, it's really cold if you don't eat anymore. All sit down to eat. ”
"By the way, Brother Zhao, what did you say just now? What reluctance to ask? ”
"Ahem, I want to go to Hou Ye's Xiaojiazhuang to have a look. It is a shame to say that Xiaojiazhuang's defense is stricter than that of Chang'an Palace. I thought there was a big secret hidden in it, but Hou Ye's words just now made people feel that Xiaojiazhuang was a paradise, and they couldn't help but yearn for it. If you could check it out...... Don't know how convenient it is? ”
After hearing this, the other people all looked at Zhao Deyan and couldn't help laughing.
Xiao Rui explained: "It's not so mysterious, and it doesn't hide any big secrets. Defending ourselves is just to keep us safe. If you really want to tell the secret...... Now what's in your bowl is. ”
In a bowl? Drumstick?
"It's potatoes." Li Chengqian helped explain: "Sir, this potato is a high-yield grain obtained by my brother-in-law, with a yield of several thousand catties per mu. ”
Zhao Deyan was surprised: "Is it the new breed implemented in Luoyang?" Call...... It seems that I still underestimated this matter. ”
"In recent years, potatoes need to be bred, so they are more closely guarded, for fear that the news will leak and cause Jieli to covet it. Until this year, I was no longer afraid. Luoyang had a bumper harvest and was promoted throughout the country, and since then there has been no hunger and food shortage in the world. ”
Hiss......
"Lord Hou is very good, this thing has countless living people and immeasurable merits."
In fact, compared to potatoes, Xiao Rui is the real most important treasure of Xiaojiazhuang, protect his safety, and Datang will benefit immensely in the future, which is more closely defended than the palace, which is not too much.
Xiangcheng enthusiastically added food to the prince, and several people chatted while eating, so it was not lively. Zhao Deyan was not used to it at first, after all, it is the rule to eat and sleep without saying anything, but how do you feel that all the rules do not exist here, they seem to be very natural. Slowly, he can only learn to fit in.
Xiangcheng said with a smile: "Cheng Qian, if you don't come to see your brother-in-law, how can you ask him to help you with things?" To know about you, both the father and the queen mother find it tricky. ”
Affair? What's up? Xiao Rui was puzzled.
Li Chengqian lowered his head with a blush, and was weak and didn't dare to speak, "Sister, can you help me tell my brother-in-law." ”
Xiao Rui teased: "Yo...... can make our prince twist and pinch like this, shouldn't it be that he has fallen in love with a girl and wants me to help you rob it? ”
Zhao Deyan laughed and said, "How come? He is the prince of a country, and whoever he likes is a girl, His Majesty can do it with a holy decree. Can you use a robbery? ”
Who would have thought that Li Chengqian would really nodded, and said to Xiao Rui with a pleading face: "Brother-in-law, she is from the Qinghe Cui family, and her father is not easy to come forward, so she ......"
Burst...... Qinghe Cui's? The emperor is not good to come forward? Don't pretend to be your father, it's obvious that your father has come forward, people don't give face, why don't you come forward? Everyone knows the roots, so there is no need to hide it so much.
Xiao Rui gave Zhao Deyan a look: "How is it, Mr. Zhao?" Your apprentice's lifelong event, snatching a woman from the Qinghe Cui clan is not difficult for you, right? Got an idea? Qinghe Choi is your old rival. ”
I? Let me have an idea? Zhao Deyan was stupid.
