Chapter 138: Feasibility Study on Passing Family Business Through Generations
Although Li Zhi was not in Chang'an, there were always rumors in Chang'an about Li Zhi being moody.
Moodiness is definitely not a complimentary word, and it would be inappropriate to apply it to Emperor Li Zhi.
Because he is a dragon, a five-clawed golden dragon. He usually hides in the deep sea and does not show his face. Occasionally, he is accompanied by clouds and fog when he travels, making it difficult for people to see his appearance clearly.
Only occasionally can giant claws peek out from the clouds and mist to take a look at the condition of this giant dragon.
Every time the dragon stretched out its claws, it would cause a huge shock to the Tang Dynasty, making everyone living on this land panic all day long.
This time, the dragon's claws fell on Luoyang, with blood flowing everywhere and corpses scattered everywhere.
When everyone in Chang'an was waiting for the dragon's other claw to fall on Chang'an, Yunchu told everyone that the dragon had put away its magical powers and was hiding in Jiucheng Palace.
So, that night, Pingkangfang's business suddenly exploded, and almost every brothel, every restaurant, and every singing and dancing venue was overcrowded.
When passing by Pingkangfang, Yunchu saw the lively scene and wanted to join in the fun. After all, once Li Shen opened a place, the place would definitely be full of drinking and banquets that would last all night long.
All are normal.
Having been away from Chang'an for more than two years and almost three years, Yunchu wanted to know whether Chang'an's entertainment industry had made any progress and whether it had surpassed Luoyang Huanchang in terms of scale and quality.
However, when passing by Xiliu Fang, even though he knew that this would be Ji Wang Li Shen's home court tonight, he still did not stop and resolutely walked through the gate of Pingkangfang and returned to Jinchangfang.
A fat man stood in the feasting lights, watching Yun Chu's retreating figure, feeling very regretful.
Ji Wangshen, who was holding a glass of wine, patted the fat Cao Wangming and said, "He won't come, at least he won't drink with us."
Cao Wangming sighed and said: "It's a pity that a very good person can't be his own person."
Ji Wangshen glanced at Yong Wangxian who was sitting at the top and said to Cao Wangming: "We are not the same people."
King Cao Ming said: "The drought is still going on, but the emperor does not allow us to continue to provide relief to the victims. What's the point?"
King Ji Shen said: "Don't talk about state affairs, and you and I will have eternal life."
Cao Wangming sighed, even though he was surrounded by feasting and feasting, he could not feel any joy from him.
When Yunchu came back, the business in Jinchangfang seemed to be much better. The narrow streets were full of people. As for the big canteen, it was even more crowded. It didn't look like a restaurant, but more like a restaurant.
A lively place.
The official Liu Yi stood at the gate of the square waiting for the return of the prince. When he saw Yun Chu coming back, he took the reins of the war horse and accompanied the prince back home.
"Now that I am back, Jinchangfang has become lively."
Liu Yi said softly: "That's not the case, Lord Marquis. It's because Da Ci'en Temple did not allow Jinchangfang to accept tickets for Da Ci'en Temple anymore. That's why many people came to burn incense and worship Buddha."
Yun Chu said with some embarrassment: "What kind of Buddha do you worship without restraint?"
Liu Yi chuckled and said, "I worship the great Buddha Master Xuanzang."
"Without ticket revenue, won't all the work of Jinchangfang be affected?"
"No, Lord Marquis, I have calculated that if we don't charge tickets, more people will come to Jinchangfang. With more people, the business of Jinchangfang will be much better. Calculating it inside and out, it will be better than charging a ticket."
The tickets are affordable.”
Yun Chu stopped and looked at Liu Yida, who used to be lean but is now obese, and said, "How are you talking?"
Liu Yi confessed again and again, but he was still very surprised. In the past, the king liked to listen to the truth. What happened today?
Yun Chu, who lost his good mood, walked home with a pulled face. Because of his long pulled face, many villagers immediately discovered that the monarch was unhappy. This discovery made the old woman selling silk embroidered bellybands panic.
Dare to shout loudly.
After returning home, Yu Xiurong saw her husband angry and asked quickly: "What's inappropriate?"
Yun Chu said: "Nowhere is suitable."
Yu Xiurong rolled his eyes and immediately understood why the person beside him was angry.
"My husband is a talented person. Chang'an is what it is now because of my husband's years of laying the foundation. Now, the foundation that my husband has laid has blossomed and bear fruit. I should be happy."
Yun Chu said without a good face: "I'm afraid that the people of Chang'an will suddenly find out. It doesn't matter whether I'm in this city or not. By the way, where are Yun Jin and Li Si?"
Yu Xiurong said quickly: "Sisi went back to her princess mansion to get married. Before they get married, they can't be together every day. As for Ajin and Ahuan, they went out to play."
Yun Chu sneered and said: "When we were in Luoyang, we wished we could stick together every day, but when we arrived in Chang'an, we knew how to observe etiquette."
Yu Xiurong said in surprise: "Then how can it be the same? Luoyang, we are guests, so it doesn't matter if we go out of our way. Our family has to live in Chang'an, so we must observe etiquette."
Yunchu was speechless and pondered for a moment before saying: "Early tomorrow morning, I will send someone to send Little Bird to Prince Ji's Mansion. The old god will accept Little Bird as his disciple."
Hearing what her husband said, Yu Xiurong's big eyes suddenly brightened up in a frightening way. She squeezed into a chair with Yun Chu and said happily: "I'm just saying, with the qualifications of a little bird, I can be the sole successor of the old god.
Definitely qualified.”
Yun Chu looked at Yu Xiurong's side face and said: "What a beautiful idea, there are seventeen young Taoist boys. I heard Li Shen said that they are seventeen young people with excellent qualifications who were searched out by the Taoist sect in the Tang Dynasty. The little bird is just
one of them."
Yu Xiurong smiled and said: "The only lay disciple is a little bird, right?"
Yun Chu nodded.
Yu Xiurong touched her belly regretfully and said to Yun Chu: "We have few children. If another child happens to be sent to Master Xuanzang to become a novice monk.
Husband, tell me, what does this mean? We just came back and an invitation from the Cheng family came to our door. Today, there are three children of the same family who are one month old. That’s a lot of babies. Our family has been born since the little bird.
After the establishment, there will be no good news, God is unfair!"
Yun Chu gritted his teeth and said: "Old man Cheng has one main wife, two auxiliary wives, and more than a dozen concubines. The old man has three legitimate sons. Heaven knows how many bastards there are. His three sons also have many wives and concubines.
, their errands were all turned into idle errands, and they spent all day at home trying to give birth to a baby without having anything to do.
If their family is not filled with children and grandchildren, who can have a family with children and grandchildren?"
When Yun Chu said this, Yu Xiurong became unhappy. He stretched out his hand to scratch Yun Chu's face and said, "Husband, are you envious of his wife and concubines? Do you want me to arrange my concubine for you now? I just don't know that Lord Dao likes young people."
, or do you like old women?”
Yu Xiurong would not argue with Yun Chu on other matters, and had to protect the majesty of the family leader. However, on the matter of taking concubines, Yu Xiurong dared to fight Yun Chu to the Jinluan Palace with a copper hammer.
It's not like he didn't give birth to a legitimate son. Taking a concubine at this time would be unforgivable.
Seeing her parents noisily going to the back house, Yun Jin and Yun Luan, who were hiding behind the screen and eavesdropping, came out quietly and looked at each other. Yun Luan suddenly knelt on the ground and hugged Yun Jin's legs and cried: "
Sister, save me, I don’t want to be a Taoist boy for the old god."
Yun Jin said in surprise: "Why do you refuse a good thing that no one else can ask for?"
Yun Luan said with a fearful expression: "I know the old god wants to teach me medical skills."
"Hey, this is the old god's unique skill, why don't you learn it?"
Yun Luan cried loudly, bumped her head against Yun Jin's stomach and cried: "Those who study medicine are all lunatics, and the old immortal is the biggest lunatic. There is a medicine boy who can test the medicine, but the old immortal chooses to try it himself.
Medicine, the last time I went to pay my respects to the old god, he did not use the medicine boy, but asked me to test the medicine. I tried it once, and I came back with diarrhea for two days.
They also pricked themselves with needles, not just one or two, but like hedgehogs. The old fairy even used a one-foot-long iron stick to prick their heads...
There was also the case of Mr. He, the judge at Taiyuan Hospital, who would always make a cut in his arm and bury abscess extracts from smallpox patients in it. While burying it, he would say that he was absolutely immune to smallpox.
They are all crazy.
Sister, please help me, I don’t want to be used by the old god to test medicine, let alone bury smallpox in my arm, I won’t survive long if I continue like this.”
Yun Jin said doubtfully: "You have a distinguished status, and the old god will not treat you like this."
Yun Luan shook his head like a rattle and said: "I think the old god hates people of high status. When he treats a poor person who can't even wear a neat dress, he charges a very small amount of money.
Sometimes he gave me money for free. When he showed me diarrhea, he asked me for a total of fifteen dollars. That's all, my diarrhea was caused by helping him take medicine.
Sister, if you don’t believe me, just look at me, when I enter the old god’s sect, my life will definitely be worse than those seventeen Taoist boys.”
Yun Jin held her brother's head lovingly and said, "The old god has spoken, and Aye has agreed. Do you think you can refuse?"
Yun Luan cried: "Aye is about to lose his beloved little son."
Yun Jin felt uneasy when she heard her brother's miserable cries. It wasn't that she didn't believe in the old god, but because although her brother was young, he could often see through the essence of things at a glance.
In addition, the old immortal was famous for the equality of all living beings in the Tang Dynasty. Now, if the younger brother wants to study medicine with the seventeen elite young men collected by the Taoist sect from all over the Tang Dynasty, he may not be able to come out on top.
If you think about it, you know that if those seventeen young men had no special skills, there would be absolutely no way they would fall into the eyes of the old god.
It would be fine if the little bird came out on top among the children, but if it fell behind, the little bird would have to face the stormy teachings of the old god.
In the back house, it took a long time for Yu Xiurong to escape from Yun Chu's arms. He panted and said to Yun Chu, "Where can I cheat my son like you?"
Yun Chu pressed his crotch and said, "Little Bird is like a walnut. He can't produce oil unless he smashes it. He obviously has the best temperament and qualifications, but he likes to mess around the most.
It's better to send it to the old god, he doesn't dare to fool the old god."
Yu Xiurong once again leaned into Yun Chu's arms and said, "The Yun family is indeed not prosperous."
Yunchu smiled and said, "Aren't you worried about the little bird anymore?"
Yu Xiurong sighed and said: "To put it bluntly, the little bird's suffering is nothing compared with the Yun family's family fortune for thousands of generations."
Yun Chu smiled and said: "I never expected that the Yun family could be passed down for thousands of generations. If it could really be passed down for that long and become a prince for thousands of generations, it would not be of any benefit to this nation.
If there is talent, it will be passed down, if there is no talent, it will be lost to everyone, this is true."
