"Otherwise? These are just nursery rhymes by the people in the market, words used by the people to entertain themselves. They have nothing to do with the court."
Li Shimin said with a smile, but his words were full of resentment and disdain for the wealthy family.
"Besides, do those aristocratic families have Chaoting in their hearts? Why should I stand up for them?"
After hearing this, Li Chengqian let out a sigh of relief.
Empress Changsun also nodded with deep approval and said with a smile, "It would be great if we can put it aside like this."
"I just didn't expect that Lu Guogong would be fined again. He is really not a member of the same family. He doesn't belong to the same family..."
When she said this, Empress Changsun almost laughed out loud and quickly coughed to cover it up.
Li Shimin stroked his beard happily for a long time, then looked at Li Chengqian with kind eyes and said with great relief.
"I am very happy to be a father. Chengqian, you have really grown up and you already know how to share your worries with your father."
"I don't know if I can be of any help... I'm here to look for my mother today, just..."
"How can you not help? You haven't seen your father clear away the gloominess of the past few days? It's almost noon, so you stay here to have lunch."
"Mom will go with you this afternoon, just in time to see how your daughter-in-law is doing."
"Well, that's fine... Let's go there in the afternoon. I haven't seen my daughter-in-law for a long time, but there is one more thing.
Since I have postponed Qinghe and Cheng Erlang's wedding, it would be inappropriate not to make some compensation, what do you think, Maid Guanyin?"
Seeing the gaze cast by her husband, Empress Changsun could not understand what her husband's true purpose was, and she nodded understandingly and smiled sweetly.
"Just let your husband make the decision in everything." Cheng Yaojin had made another great contribution today. How could my husband not reward him with something in return? It would have chilled the hearts of his loyal ministers.
"Well, by the way, also, since Cheng Chubi is willing to share the worries of the court and run a school on his own, how can I not express his gratitude?"
"Before, I was thinking about asking the Ministry of Industry to pick a piece of land for him to build on, but if that were the case, I'm afraid it would have to be delayed until next year before the school can be opened."
"I remember that I asked Yan Qing to build a manor near Xiao Sizi's manor. I was thinking about who should give it to me."
"In this case, it would be better to give him Cheng Sanlang directly to run a school."
After hearing this, Queen Changsun raised her lips.
"It's good that your husband is happy. Besides, a talent like Cheng Sanlang is indeed worthy of your husband's gift."
Li Shimin looked towards his beloved wife, and the couple couldn't help but smile at each other.
As for Li Chengqian, seeing the back-and-forth look between his father and mother, well...at this moment, he was particularly missing his wife Su, who stayed in the East Palace.
#####
Although Cheng Chubi was rewarded with a mansion by His Majesty, he almost never stayed there. After all, he had a father, mother and brothers here.
There is nothing over there, not even a mother-in-law. I went to stay alone in an empty room. I might as well squat here and have fun every day with wine and meat.
It's so fun to brag and spank with my two brothers and my father.
Just like now, after the three brothers met at the entrance of the square, they were happily bragging and spanking while heading towards the gate of the mansion.
When I arrived not far from the mansion gate, I saw my father standing proudly outside the mansion gate. Under the steps of the mansion gate, there were more than ten ox carts parked.
I saw my father, Cheng Yaojin, commanding the servants in the mansion to carry things home in a very arrogant manner.
"Huh? Could it be that dad has done something important again and received a reward from His Majesty?" Cheng Chuliang couldn't help but murmured with his eyes brightening.
Hearing what his second brother said, Cheng Chubi immediately became happy.
"It goes without saying that I can't offend His Majesty. His Majesty is rushing to give gifts."
"That makes sense. Second brother and third brother, hurry up." The eldest brother Cheng Chumo was calm and serious after all. He shouted to the two younger brothers and then rode away quickly.
Cheng Yaojin also saw the three children rushing towards this side neatly, and couldn't help but put his hands on his hips and laugh.
"You three are here at the right time. Hurry up and help us bring these wonderful treasures that His Majesty has given us into the mansion."
"Did Dad receive another reward from His Majesty?" Cheng Chubi asked curiously as he picked up several pieces of silk and walked up the steps with ease.
"Well... I guess." When Cheng Yaojin heard this, he suddenly felt confused and could only say something vague and perfunctory.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and hurry up. I'll go in and cool off."
They saw their father striding straight to the front hall, and the three brothers all looked at the housekeeper, Uncle Fu.
Cheng Chubi came to the housekeeper Fu's side and asked in a low voice.
"Uncle Fu, what's going on? There seems to be something wrong with my father's mood."
I saw the rich uncle of the housekeeper glance at his master's leaving figure furtively, and then he lowered his voice and said.
"The master had a minor conflict with someone in the court, and was fined half a year's salary by His Majesty..."
"..." The Cheng family took a breath of cold air. If you don't like it, just obey your father. It has almost become a common occurrence to cause trouble in the court.
Then they heard a pop from beside them, and Cheng Chubi and Cheng Chuliang looked over there at the same time.
Then I saw my eldest brother Cheng Chumo's deep expression and his thick beard. "I'm afraid I won't be able to get salary for another year and a half, tsk tsk..."
"But these are probably given to our family by His Majesty for some reason, right?"
Uncle Fu, the butler, raised his thumb towards the eldest son.
"It's true. His Majesty said that because he felt bad about delaying the second son's marriage, he specially gave him two thousand bolts of silk and two thousand gold."
"Speaking of which, let's talk about..."
"What are you hiding there secretly muttering about?!" Standing under the steps of the front hall, General Cheng turned his head sharply and shouted unhappily.
In an instant, the three biological sons and the housekeeper Cheng Fu suddenly dispersed...
After the three brothers helped, they rushed to the front hall and saw that their father, Cheng Yaojin, had already lost his decadence after downing several cups of Sanle juice.
He asked the three brothers to sit in front of him, and then said proudly to Cheng Chubi.
"Third brother, do you know that your copy of "Shunliu's Nursery Rhymes of Hundreds of Family Surnames" has become the focus of civil and military attention in the entire court today..."
Cheng Chubi felt something in his heart, he was afraid that his father's salary deduction was probably related to this matter.
Cheng Chubi quickly moved his butt forward, and eagerly filled his father's glass with Cheng's secret Sanle juice, which was not intoxicating but nourishing.
"Dad, please tell me what's going on."
"Yes, dad, tell me, we all want to know what happened." The eldest brother and the second brother also agreed.
I saw my father, Cheng Yaojin, draining the wine in his glass in one gulp, winking at him for a long time, exhaling the smell of alcohol, and then began to happily recount the scene that happened in the court today.
