Li Po did not eat at He's house, and the cook in He Chou's house was not very good, which was not to his taste, so he left cruelly despite He Chou's attentive efforts to persuade him to stay, which made the old man feel a little aggrieved.
After going back and thinking about it for a few days, I finally came to a sudden realization, so I resigned several chefs in the mansion, and gathered several famous chefs from all over the capital to go home, earnestly hoping that the emperor would come again.
These are all inevitable operations for ministers. What is good for the superiors must be good for the subordinates.
It is no secret that Li Po likes exquisite food. When he comes to the courtier's house, as long as he knows his habits, he will naturally offer him delicacies from the mountains and seas for him to taste.
The He Mansion was unprepared for the first two visits. As the saying goes, things are only three things. If it happens again the third time, it means that the minister is at fault. It is normal for the emperor to get angry and put on some pairs of shoes for you.
You see, Empress Xiao was more attentive. She made a black silk lure to entertain the emperor when she first welcomed him. Her emotional intelligence was much higher than that of He Chou.
Wherever the emperor leaves the palace, the traces left behind will be spread among the conversations among the nobles. Whichever family is lucky enough to welcome him at home will be envied by everyone in the future, and the lintel will be a little brighter.
This was only the early years of Yuanzhen, when Li Po had not yet established a stable foothold in Kansai. If Li Po could still be sitting in that position unwaveringly ten or twenty years later, then if you look at it again, he would probably
Whichever door you walk to, there will be smoke rising from the ancestral tomb.
Of course, the emperor must have no shortage of places to eat.
The new residence of the Li Jing family is not far from the He Mansion. Pang Huang, the former capable minister of the Sui Dynasty, once lived here. Not far away is the new residence of Jingzhao Yin Pei Shiqing.
Anyway, the location is good, there are all dignitaries nearby, and it is close to the imperial city. The house occupies a large area, which is very suitable for Li Jing's current status.
After being troubled by her son-in-law once, and with Li Po's persuasion, Mrs. Chen finally moved here to live. Most of the servants in the mansion were people from the palace.
After this period of continuous letting people out of the palace, not many old people from the Li Yuan period were left in the palace, and the number of emperors drafting people into the palace gradually became more and more frequent.
The emperor's harem is enriched, which benefits everyone. The relationship between the nobles and the royal family will become closer through continuous marriages.
If a great nobleman does not have a daughter in the palace, how can he be called a great nobleman? Is he self-proclaimed?
It often happened that aunts, nephews, sisters, etc. were all sent to the palace together. The emperor's happy life was difficult for ordinary people to imagine.
Li Po has endured a lot of hardships, and now enjoying some blessings is nothing. Of course, this is just the beginning.
He came to Li Jing's house mainly because he wanted to eat here. He couldn't forget the food cooked by Mrs. Chen, so he came here without taking the time. By the way, he wanted to see if Li Jing's new home was comfortable and if anyone came to kill chickens and sheep.
Nonsense.
This time, there was no need to send people over the wall. I said hello first, mainly because I was afraid that I would be left behind after lunch at home, which would be a spoiler.
Mrs. Chen and her family greeted her outside the house. She looked pretty good, but people are actually like this. Once you do something you don't want to do, that's all. Maybe it's quite beautiful.
It was Mrs. Chen who cooked, and the emperor did not starve. Li Jing's two sons were accompanying him, and none of his daughters and sons-in-law had ever seen him. No matter how good the father-in-law's family was these days, there were not many sons-in-law who came to the house to make a living.
That will be looked down upon by others, unless it is a bride-in-law.
Of course, there aren't many sons-in-law who come to kill chickens at their father-in-law's house. I guess there are still some weird things going on in the Li Jing family.
Looking at his two uncles, Li Po felt that Li Jing's family was indeed a bit thin. Of course, this was just an appearance. Li Jing had four brothers, and together with his own family, there were dozens of people.
The Miyuan Li family was headed by Li Duan. Li Duan did not quarrel with his brothers, which caused the brothers to become indifferent. They did not have much contact with each other for many years, especially Li Jing and Li Duan, who turned against each other.
Over the years, the Miyuan Li family has actually withdrawn from the ranks of the clan. In a few years, whether they will have a place among the common people depends on the situation. In the future, it will not be unusual for people like Liu Hongji to live in the world.
Li Po had never had much contact with the two of them. Li Jing didn't think highly of his two sons and Li Bi didn't think highly of his two brothers, so his expectations were naturally very low.
We had a meal with them this time. Li Dalang coped well. After all, he had been working in the Ministry of Industry for many years. Although it was the first time he was so close to the emperor, he was quite frightened.
But I have done a lot of psychological construction before and received a good aristocratic education, so it is not rude.
His younger brother cannot do it. This is an ancient version of the old-timers. They also boast of admiring the leisurely life of the wise men in the forest. They don't want to be an official in this life. But since the emperor has become his brother-in-law, it is hard to help others.
Or...
The basic situation of the two sons of Li Jing's family is like this. They are both very mediocre. They didn't bring their children with them. It is estimated that they will not be able to raise any outstanding people.
Li Po sighed secretly in his heart, there is no successor to the Miyuan Li family... We must learn from this... He also felt very guilty about how to successfully raise his children.
Chen's food is still so delicious, not as fancy as the food in the palace, but the taste is very different. It's a pity that there is no chicken stew today, otherwise there will be more rice.
Pharmacist Li is good at raising chickens...
After dinner, I chatted with Chen for a while, secretly thinking that I should give Chen a wife. The queen's mother should be rewarded on the first day he ascended the throne.
However, he was suppressed by Li Po himself. He valued Li Jing, and his wife could wait for a while before sealing him off again.
Li Po was quite thoughtful. After all, this was an era when wives were honored by their husbands. Li Jing was already very uncomfortable with his daughter taking advantage of him. If his wife also became a married woman with a higher rank than him, Li Jing would not be able to maintain his dignity.
He is so good-looking that even if outsiders don't say anything, they will definitely laugh at him behind his back.
After taking care of Li Jing's reputation for a while, it's time to make up for his mother-in-law, and the food she cooks is really good...
"I heard that Xu Shiji often comes to visit his home?" Before leaving, Li Po asked seemingly unintentionally.
Mrs. Chen had already been reminded by her daughter. She just looked at the emperor's expression carefully and said, "I come here more often. It's not a big deal. I just want to see if I am okay and help with some trivial matters at home."
Li Po nodded expressionlessly. Ever since he found out about that bastard, he hadn't seen him again. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold back his temper when he met the person, and the scene would be too ugly and it wouldn't end well.
"That man has a lot on his mind, so be careful..."
He just said one sentence and felt that this was not good. The emperor was talking trivial things... He had to deserve it...
Mrs. Chen led her sons and sent the group out of the mansion. She looked at the emperor's back and couldn't help but smile. Thinking back to the way Xu Shiji came to visit the mansion diligently, she couldn't help but worry about him.
For a moment.
Li Jing was the person who wrote books and established theories, and he had more than one disciple: Xu Shiji, but Chen felt that among the several disciples, Xu Maogong was the most intelligent and capable of passing on his legacy.
As for why the emperor and his brother-in-law didn't like each other, she didn't really care. She just thought the words the emperor said were quite interesting, and the image of the third son-in-law became much more concrete in her mind.
…………………………
Li Po didn't know that he had revealed his true colors in the eyes of his mother-in-law. He was always in a good mood after eating and drinking, so he took people to Fengde Yi Mansion for a tour.
Feng Deyi asked for leave. It is said that he had a minor illness in the first month of the year. Actually, the main purpose of leaving the palace this time was to see if the old fox had recovered from his illness.
There was a big age difference between Su Wei and Feng Deyi, but their paths when they entered the officialdom were very similar. Su Wei originally married the daughter of the powerful minister Yu Wenhu, and thus established himself in the court.
Feng Deyi, on the other hand, was attached to Yang Su. Although his nature was different from that of Yu Wenhu, he was still a member of the powerful officials. At the same time, Feng Deyi also married Yang's daughter.
In fact, it can be seen from this point that the two people have similarities in character, but it is hard to say whether Feng Lun can live to his age.
………………………………
At this time, Feng Deyi was teaching his son to write Chinese characters at home. Feng Lun was such a single child. He had a son in his later years. Daye was born in Fengfu, Luoyang in the twelfth year of his life. Later, when he saw the world was in chaos, Feng Deyi gave his wife and children away.
Returned to Chang'an.
This is really a far-sighted move, otherwise, the Bohai Feng clan may have no future worries.
Follow the public account: Book Friends Base Camp, follow and you will get cash and coins!
Therefore, there is no need to mention Feng Deyi's love for his son. He took a few days of sick leave and simply put his official duties behind him. He stayed with his son all day long. Even the wife who was hired with a lot of money from the government had some free time.
Oh my god.
There is no doubt that the Bohai Feng family belongs to a wealthy family. Feng Lun is the daughter of the Hongnong Yang family, and his mother is from the Fanyang Lu family, and has been close to the Bohai Gao family for generations, so despite his family's Ding Shao, his reputation is not very good.
Okay, but they are from a serious and famous family.
After staying at home for a few days, the emperor unexpectedly came to visit him, which made Feng Deyi a little worried and a little proud.
What I'm worried about is that I've been too honest at home these days. Maybe something will happen to me again or make the emperor unhappy? What I'm proud of is that we can't do it without the emperor. Look, it's only been a few days.
, and found it on the door.
Li Po was a little disappointed when he saw Feng Deyi's energetic appearance. It turns out that the illness has been cured. Wouldn't it be a waste if I prepared a basket of condolences here?
Changsun Shunde looked at Feng Deyi and secretly gritted his teeth. He had visited Feng Deyi on behalf of his province a few days ago, and he was secretly happy when he saw Feng Deyi's unlucky look...
Because Feng Lun was obviously more valued by the emperor than he was, and he was better able to guess the emperor's intentions. If this situation continued, within a year and a half, his eldest grandson, Shunde, would be outranked in the position of servant.
If Feng Lun can't afford to fall ill, wouldn't it be a good thing for him?
