Li Shimin and his wife were hiding in the dark and had been watching everything Li Chengqian did. When Li Chengqian was busy in the back kitchen, they followed him in the back kitchen. When Li Chengqian went to the front to serve the plates, they went to the front.
Especially when it comes to how Li Chengqian treats people and treats, he is not at all proud of his status, nor does he look down on others because of his status. Even when a guest makes things difficult for him, Li Chengqian patiently tries to explain.
This kind of Li Chengqian is able to cope with things with ease and is neither humble nor overbearing.
Nothing unnatural at all.
Such Li Chengqian makes Li Shimin and his wife proud.
When it was almost noon, the two of them left and quietly returned to the palace. As soon as the couple returned to the palace, they began to pass around the meal and asked the imperial kitchen in the palace to deliver the lunch meal.
The couple was eating and chatting.
The mood is very good.
Li Shimin said: "Guanyin, after seeing what Cheng Qian did in the restaurant, I am completely relieved. From the inside, we can see that Cheng Qian is also like this when doing other things. He must be meticulous and not slack off at all.
"
Changsun Wugou said: "Your Majesty, Cheng Qian is here now because of your contribution. If Your Majesty hadn't asked Cheng Qian to go to Wang Can, Cheng Qian wouldn't be here now."
Li Shimin smiled and said: "Actually, this was Fang Xuanling's suggestion."
Changsun Wugou said: "It's a good thing after all."
The couple chatted very happily, but while the two were chatting, Li Chengqian on the other side was still busy, because he was the busiest at noon every day.
In such a busy life as Li Chengqian, time passes day by day.
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
Ten days have passed, and Li Chengqian has become completely familiar with the kitchen and the craftsman's workshop. As he becomes familiar with everything, Li Chengqian understands all aspects, and through this incident, he also has a clear understanding of the world. At least for the moment.
Li Chengqian knew the price of a commodity.
At dusk that day, Li Chengqian finished what he was doing and went straight to Wang Can's study.
Seeing Wang Can, Li Chengqian bowed respectfully.
Ten days have passed, and Li Chengqian's body has now grown at least five centimeters taller, and Li Chengqian's body has also become stronger. Although he is not obese at all, his physical fitness has long since undergone a radical change.
It's completely different.
In particular, Li Chengqian's temperament is completely different from before.
Although Li Chengqian was once a courtesy corporal and extremely humble, in fact, Li Chengqian was like a man who was strong on the outside but capable on the inside.
But now, Li Chengqian may be far from enough in the classics and history, and has not learned many classic books. However, his understanding of the world, his understanding of current prices, and the basic overview of the entire Tang Dynasty society.
I know the warmth and warmth of human relationships.
I know life is not easy.
I know life is difficult.
After experiencing all this, Li Chengqian felt even more about the bottom class. He also knew that an order from the imperial court would lead to the death of countless families and cause hardship to countless people.
Li Chengqian sat down and asked: "Sir, the disciple has completed ten days of work in the restaurant and craftsman's workshop so far. What should we do next?"
Wang Can said: "I will give you a day off tomorrow. Whatever you want to do, do it. Come to me early the day after tomorrow to report, and I will tell you what to do."
Li Chengqian said: "Disciple understands."
Wang Can waved his hand, and Li Chengqian stood up and left. Because it was still early, Li Chengqian went to Li Yuan's place. Although it was already evening, Li Yuan had not finished his work and was still weeding in the land.
Li Chengqian worked with Li Yuan. After the two of them finished their work, he took Li Chengqian to the kitchen to eat.
Grandfather and grandson were having dinner together. Li Yuan asked: "Cheng Qian, you said before that it is a cycle of ten days. Now that the ten days are completed, what will Wang Can do next?"
Li Chengqian said: "Grandfather, Mr. Wang said that he will have a day off tomorrow and there are no arrangements for the time being. The specific matters will have to wait until the day after tomorrow to know."
Li Yuan smiled and said: "It's okay to take a day off. During this period, you have been busy and you have become a little darker. However, during this period, you have also become stronger."
After a pause, Li Yuan said: "What are your plans for tomorrow?"
Li Chengqian said: "During this period, I have been staying with Mr. Wang and have not returned to the palace. So tomorrow morning, my grandson plans to go back to the palace to see his father and mother. At the same time, he will also go to see his teacher. Although
The teacher has recovered now, but I don’t know what the situation is."
Li Yuan said: "It's good to go back and take a look."
The grandfather and grandson were chatting, and they were getting along well. After eating and returning to his room, Li Chengqian still followed the old practice and wrote a letter to be sent to the palace. He also said in the letter that he would return to the palace tomorrow.
things.
After finishing his work, Li Chengqian went to bed early after taking a bath.
The next day, early morning.
Early in the morning, Li Chengqian went to the palace early.
He returned to the palace now. Li Shimin had left the court early and met Li Chengqian in the palace. Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian with joy. After not seeing each other for a few days, Li Chengqian had grown taller and more powerful.
Gives people a really reliable feeling.
Especially since he has grown a bit taller, at first glance, you can't tell that Li Chengqian is an eleven or twelve year old child. He looks like he is fifteen or sixteen years old.
One cheek in particular, although still a little childish, has a pair of eyes that are deep and wise.
Transparent and clear.
Li Chengqian saluted respectfully and said: "My sons and ministers pay homage to my father, the emperor, and my mother, the queen."
Changsun Wujia was also there.
Both husband and wife are present.
Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "Sit down."
"Thank you, Father."
Li Chengqian thanked him respectfully.
Li Shimin said: "Your letters during this period have been read by me and your mother. It is very good that you can calm down and study. Mr. Wang is a talented person and has outstanding abilities. From my point of view,
If Mr. Wang wants to govern a country, he can manage a big country like cooking a small one. Now that you have this opportunity, you can't miss it."
Li Chengqian said: "My father's teachings, I will keep them in mind. I am indeed lucky to be able to study with Mr. Wang. I have learned a lot from Mr. Wang. Not only the principles of life, but also
Have an understanding of Tang Dynasty society."
Li Shimin nodded and said, "As long as you understand."
After a pause, Li Shimin asked: "How is your imperial grandfather doing in the Wang family now?"
Li Chengqian said: "The imperial grandfather is in good health. He can eat, drink and sleep. He is also very happy."
Li Shimin said: "That's good."
For Li Shimin, Li Yuan is the place where he feels the most guilt, but such guilt cannot be compensated. What Li Shimin can do now is to let Li Yuan spend his old age peacefully.
The eldest grandson Wugou said: "Prince, tell me what is going on with Mr. Wang now."
"good!"
Li Chengqian nodded and answered.
He worked in the restaurant and the craftsman's workshop, and heard many interesting things. Li Chengqian was especially talkative now, and he no longer had the fear of facing Li Shimin in the past, so he talked and laughed freely with Li Shimin and his eldest grandson.
Chatting without dirt is an extremely leisurely thing and there is nothing difficult about it.
Li Chengqian was mostly talking all morning.
After lunch, Li Chengqian left the palace and went straight to Li Gang's mansion.
Today, Li Gang's waist no longer hurts, his legs are no longer sore, his eyesight is no longer blurred, and his overall energy is excellent. Under such a situation, Li Gang is even more grateful to Wang Can.
Without Wang Can, he would not be where he is now.
So Li Gang was very grateful to Wang Can.
When Li Gang received the report from his attendants that Prince Li Chengqian had arrived, Li Gang took his people out and went to the door to greet him personally. He welcomed Li Chengqian into the study, and the guests and hosts sat down.
Li Gang asked: "It should be extremely smooth for the prince to be by Wang Can's side now."
Li Chengqian said: "How did the teacher know that it would be extremely smooth?"
Li Gang smiled slightly and said: "Some time ago, the King of Yue was ordered by His Majesty to shut up and think about his mistakes because he offended Wang Can. But just a few days ago, His Majesty had sent a decree to let the King of Yue go to the fiefdom to take up his post. Originally, the King of Yue should have gone to the fiefdom long ago.
Yes, now that His Majesty has specifically issued an order, it can be seen that the Crown Prince must have caused something, and the Crown Prince even gained Wang Can's approval and truly received Wang Can's approval, and only then will Your Majesty be delighted."
Li Chengqian said: "What the teacher said is true. This time around Mr. Wang, I have indeed been recognized by Mr. Wang. Now, it is very smooth."
Li Gang stroked the beard under his chin, nodded and said: "Not bad, not bad, this is a good thing."
Li Chengqian asked: "How is the teacher's health now?"
“Everything is fine!”
Li Gang's face was filled with a bright smile. He now said seriously: "Your Highness, you must seize the opportunity now. This opportunity cannot be missed, and it will never come back. So, study hard by Wang Can's side."
Li Chengqian said: "Disciple understands."
There was nothing taboo about chatting between the master and the disciple, so at this point, Li Chengqian was able to understand the changes in the situation in the DPRK through Li Gang, and this was all beneficial to Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian left Li Gang's mansion and returned to the Wang family after dinner.
Since he was not going to Wang Can's yard until early tomorrow morning, in the evening, he went directly to the yard where Li Yuan was resting and chatted with Li Yuan.
Li Yuan was a former emperor after all.
That is the real one in power.
He also has a deep understanding of government affairs, so Li Chengqian can also gain a lot by following Li Yuan and chatting with Li Yuan, and he can know the overall situation of the world and the ups and downs of the court.
This is what Li Chengqian gained.
This is the saying goes that if a family has an elder, it has a treasure.
Li Chengqian cherishes days like this very much.
It was very late before Li Chengqian returned to his room to rest and prepare for the next day. (To be continued)
