When Wang Yi woke up, he was lying in a strange place, Zheng Huaixian beside him had long disappeared, and Li Yuan and the others didn't know where they went.

At this time, there was a sudden noise outside, Wang Yi pushed open the door of the room, and outside, Li Yuan was fighting with Liu Shuyi for the remaining jar of Wannian Spring yesterday.

Seeing Wang Yi come out, Liu Shuyi was pleasantly surprised: "Mr. Wang, you are awake." ”

Li Yuan took advantage of the moment when Liu Shuyi spoke, took Wan Nianchun away from the table, and drank it secretly.

Wang Yi walked out of the room, covering his head, his last memory was that Zheng Huai first looked at his eyebrows, and he fainted, he drank a little too much wine last night, and he couldn't recall what happened afterward.

"How am I here. ”

Li Yuan put the empty wine jar on the table, ignored Liu Shuyi's protest, and said to Wang Yi: "When I woke up in the morning, I found you lying there, and finally put you on the bed, and before half an hour, you woke up. ”

Wang Yi nodded, he knew that Zheng Huaixian should have left last night, and did not let Li Yuan and the others know about his arrival.

Wang Yi quietly circulated the starlight, and after a week, the starlight returned to calm, Wang Yi sighed softly, Zheng Huaixian did not tell a lie, and his cultivation was once again stable in his true life, not falling.

Temporarily solve the trouble, Wang Yi smiled bitterly, Zheng Huaixian said that he would become a saint within ten years, and he did not dare to expect it. The saints on the rivers and lakes can be counted on one hand, and it is said that there are ten people in the world that day, and the most basic condition is that they are saints.

Wang Si was still eating breakfast without heart or lungs, and there was a bowl of tofu brain and a few drawers of steamed buns on the table, which made the little guy eat very happily.

Li Yuan and Liu Shuyi debated non-stop about Li Yuan's very unrighteous behavior just now, Liu Shuyi was small, so he found a chair, stood on it, pointed at Li Yuan, and began to count Li Yuan's various crimes.

Wang Yi sat on the chair with an old smile, looking at all this with a smile, it was just one less Ma Shun who went out on a mission. After a while, Wang Yi first put the bun in the bowl in front of Wang Si, took a bun casually, and ate it.

Li Yuan and Liu Shuyi, who was standing on the chair, were still noisy, the autumn wind was blowing, but Wang Yi didn't feel a trace of cold.

The man, who was only in his early twenties, sighed that it was good to be young, but forgot that he was also a teenager.

After breakfast, Wang Yi took Wang Si with one hand, took Li Yuan and Liu Shuyi, and walked towards Meridian Lane.

When I came to Meridian Lane, there was an old man sitting on the tea stall on the side, and when he saw Wang Yi and his party, the old man slowly got up and came to everyone.

Liu Shuyi was overjoyed, ran to the old man's side, hugged the old man's legs, and shouted, "Grandpa, why are you here." ”

This Ming Dynasty's nine-gate admiral also served as the household department

The old man of Shangshu touched Liu Shuyi's head with a doting face, "Who told you not to go home yesterday." ”

Liu Shuyi was a little aggrieved and said: "Who knew that grandpa's drunkenness was so great, so don't blame me for not going back." ”

The old man laughed, raised his head and greeted Li Yuan first, "Your Royal Highness, how is my drink." ”

Li Yuan was very invisible, put one hand on the old man's shoulder, and gave a thumbs up, "The taste is this, but tell me where you got it, I remember that my cousin has a record there." ”

The old man pretended to be mysterious, touched his beard and said softly: "Your Royal Highness, don't say it, don't say it. ”

Li Yuan pushed the old man's shoulder, very dissatisfied, "Cut, it doesn't come from normal channels at first glance." ”

The old man no longer messed around with Li Yuan, and said to Wang Yi, who was pulling Wang Si, "I've seen the prince." ”

Wang Yi also guessed the identity of the old man, Liu Qian, the first corrupt official of the Ming Dynasty, and also the minister of the Ming Dynasty, one of the five ministers of the first emperor Tuogu.

It is rumored that the combined wealth of Liu Shangshu's family can be comparable to the treasury tax of the Ming Dynasty for three years. The old man laughed at this.

Wang Yi returned the salute, "I've seen Liu Shangshu." ”

The old man laughed, with an inquiring tone, "Let's talk?"

Wang Yi nodded, and then invited the old man to his courtyard and talked carefully.

After taking a seat, Wang Yi asked Li Yuan and others to stand outside and wait, and he sat inside to entertain Liu Qian.

Tea is served on the table, one cup per person.

Wang Yi said: "It's a little simple, don't be surprised by Lord Liu. ”

The old man, who was older than this meridian alley, smiled slightly, "Where, the prince is my grandson's husband, how can the old man be so picky." ”

Originally, in Wang Yi's imagination, as a well-known corrupt official in the Ming Dynasty, the old man should be rich and weigh at least 200 catties, but he didn't expect it to be a thin old man, which was really beyond Wang Yi's expectations.

"I don't know what Lord Liu is here for?"

The old man put down the teacup and sighed slightly, "It's not for my grandson, a few years ago, I became friends with His Royal Highness the Prince, although His Royal Highness never did anything serious, but his character is always not bad." ”

"I don't know when, Liu Shuyi fell in love with those people and things on the rivers and lakes. Tell me that I have to ride a donkey and carry a long sword to roam the rivers and lakes alone, and I am angry and lock him in the attic. ”

"But a few days ago, His Royal Highness the Prince came to the mansion and told Liu Shuyi that Li Taibai, whom he admired the most, came to Chang'an City. ”

The old man put his hands on his abdomen, looking yearning, "Who doesn't envy Li Taibai."

's sword battles, but I'm just a grandson, where am I willing to let him go on the road alone. ”

"As a result, before I could be persuaded by him, this kid came home and asked me directly if I could learn sword from Master Hou. ”

Wang Yi finally understood the old man's intention, but he was a grandfather who was not worried about his grandson's sword practice, for fear of accidents.

Wang Yi fiddled with the teacup and asked, "What about Lord Liu?"

Liu Qian smiled, "I just thought if Hou Ye could not teach that kid first, and when the kid grows up, or I close my eyes, Hou Ye can do whatever he wants." ”

With that, Liu Qian stood up and bowed to Wang Yi.

Wang Yi hurriedly helped Liu Qian up, "Lord Liu is serious, I can understand your feelings, but it's not good to do this." ”

Liu Qian took Wang Yi's arm, glanced at the door, and after making sure that there was no one, he said softly: "Master Hou can teach him to read first, and when Liu Shuyi is annoyed, he will go back to the house obediently." ”

Wang Yi looked at Liu Qian's pleading look, gritted his teeth, and agreed, "Okay, I promise Lord Liu." ”

Liu Qian bent down again and saluted, Wang Yi was not surprised, this old Shangshu, one of the six departments, didn't seem to be greedy for money.

Liu Qian said to Wang Yi: "Your Majesty summoned me into the palace, saying that I was going to build the princess's mansion, but there was no silver, and I kept asking the old man to find a way, but the old man knew that the treasury was empty and there was no spare money, and he hoped that the prince and the prince would talk to His Royal Highness." ”

Wang Yi looked at Liu Qian with some suspicion, this is not in line with what Li Yuan said, obviously you have promised Your Majesty that you can take out the silver.

"I heard that Lord Liu has promised His Majesty that he can take out the silver. ”

Liu Qian coughed twice, his expression was extremely uncomfortable, and he dodged Wang Yi's gaze a little, "Who said it, it's all rumors, it's just that the old man knows a few acquaintances, and he can just take credit." ”

Wang Yi has gained knowledge today, it turns out that Lord Liu not only has a lot of money, but also has a thick skin, and the thickness is extraordinary.

Liu Qian took out a few silver tickets from his sleeve and put them on the table quietly, "In case my grandson is hungry and thirsty, please take care of the prince and the marquis." ”

Wang Yi sat up straight and quietly accepted the silver ticket, "You're polite, Lord Liu is really polite." ”

"Come on, good tea, the best tea. ”

Liu Qian, who just wanted to take a sip of tea, stopped his movements, Wang Yi took the teacup and put it in front of him, "I don't know how many years this tea has been placed, it should have been left in the year when Jinyiwei was disqualified, Lord Liu is our friend, how can we drink this kind of tea." ”

Liu Qian swore that he had never seen a person in his life who could be so stingy, Li Yuan walked in with a teacup, glanced at Wang Yi, and then laughed, this action made Liu Qian a little puzzled, did he fall into the trick?
