Datang: Begin with Li Shimin as a father

Chapter 151
"At the moment, let's deal with Brother Mo's matter first!"

"Brother Chumo, go to Pingkangfang to redeem Miss Xiangxiang first."

"Then, buy a store in the East Market."

"Let her run the perfume business in the future. Miss Xiangxiang is versatile and beautiful. It is conceivable that the business will be booming."

After hearing Li Gen's words, Cheng Chumo nodded happily, but then his face became ugly again.

"Seventh brother, I don't have any money. My father took all the dividends from our shop."

Li Gen had already guessed that Chu Mo must have no money.

"Brother Chu Mo, the question of money is not a problem at all, just take it from the seventh brother as much as you need."

"Seventh brother, I really don't know how to thank you."

Cheng Chumo's eyes were red, and his face was full of emotion.

"Brother Chumo, what do we say to thank you or not? We are born!"

"Well, what do you do next?"

Cheng Chumo asked.

"Next, we will buy a house in the surrounding area near the East Market, preferably one with fewer officials, so as not to be discovered by outsiders when Brother Mo is there."

Cheng Chumo heard the words, his eyes sparkled.

This idea is exactly the same as the principle of Jinwu Zangjiao, and it really suits his heart.

"When the time comes, I will send Chunzhu and Chunju to help Miss Xiangxiang manage the perfume shop."

"As for the profit? We are one and half."

When Li Gen's words fell to the ground, Cheng Chumo waved his hands repeatedly and refused.

"No, no. Seventh brother must not do this. How can I share the profits with seventh brother equally!"

"You paid for the money, you paid for the perfume, and you paid for the idea of ​​helping me. How can I ask for money?"

Li Gen smiled and nodded upon hearing this, Cheng Chumo is really a trustworthy and honest person.

"Brother Chu Mo, the Cheng family has shown great kindness to my family, and the seventh younger brother is a person who knows how to repay his kindness. If it weren't for Uncle Cheng's help, my father would not have had the opportunity to make meritorious service and be awarded the title of General Huya, let alone become a regular seven The county magistrate of Jingyang."

"Our family was originally a commoner. It was because my father defected to Uncle Cheng that we changed."

"Such a great kindness and virtue, the seventh brother will remember it in his heart all his life, and dare not forget it!"

"Brother Chu Mo, if you encounter a little trouble, how can the seventh brother stand by and watch?"

"Money and wealth are things outside the body, only feelings, friendship and family affection, no matter how much money, it is difficult to buy."

Li Gen's words made Cheng Chumo's tears fall down.

"Seventh brother, being able to know you is a blessing in my life. From now on, whenever you give me any orders, I, Cheng Chumo, will not blink my eyes."

"Brother Chu Mo is serious. You and I are young, and the days to come are still very long. The seventh brother will not be able to trouble Brother Chu Mo in the future. We should stay away from the matter of going up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire."

"Brother Chumo, after everything is arranged, you can wait for the baby to be born in peace."

"Uncle Cheng and Auntie, once they see the eldest grandson, can they be unhappy?"

"This matter will be settled. Although Miss Xiangxiang can't be the main wife, for the sake of the eldest grandson, uncles and aunts have to give Xiangxiang a title."

Cheng Chumo heard the words and slapped his head.

"Come on, seventh brother, I will do as you say."

When Cheng Chumo left, he took a wooden box of money with him.

In order not to be confiscated by his father, Cheng Chumo went straight to Pingkangfang and put all the money in Xiangxiang girl's place.

Seeing that Chu Mo sincerely redeemed himself, Miss Xiangxiang was completely moved.

In fact, she had enough money to redeem herself, but it was just to test her own weight in Chu Mo's heart.

"Xiangxiang, it's too late today. I'll come over early tomorrow morning. I'll buy a house first, and I'll redeem it for you when I come back. Then we'll buy a shop for this precious item."

Cheng Chumo handed the glass bottle of perfume to Xiangxiang.

Surprised, Xiangxiang covered her mouth with her little hand.

"Young master, let's open a shop to sell such a valuable item in the future?"

"Well! This is perfume. My brother said that our store is called Xiangxiang store."

Cheng Chumo said, nodding vigorously.

"My lord, what is the price of such an expensive perfume?"

Xiangxiang couldn't put it down, touching the crystal glass bottle, the smell of the perfume made Xiangxiang secretly fascinated.

"The quantity of this perfume is limited, so we are naturally waiting for a price. Just like Liuli Shop, we will conduct an auction."

"Xiangxiang, when the time comes, I will release the news that you made it. As for why you made it, it's all because you have touched the five-colored glazed beads..."

Cheng Chumo froze for a while, making Miss Xiangxiang stunned.

The curfew drum sounded, Cheng Chumo explained a few more words, and then left Pingkangfang.

On the second day, a piece of news spread in the [-]th Square of Chang'an City.

The top card in Pingkangfang, Miss Xiangxiang redeemed herself and left Pingkangfang.

This made many romantic and suave young masters immediately bow their heads and slam their feet!

On the third day, another piece of news spread instantly.

A new store opened in the East Market, called Xiangxiang Store.

Hey!
This Xiangxiang girl had just left Pingkangfang, and on the second day, there was an additional Xiangxiang shop in the East Market.

Think about it with your toes, and people also know that there must be something in it.

Ever since, many suave and suave sons began to send people to the East Market to investigate the situation.

The news was confirmed.

The owner of the Xiangxiang shop is indeed Miss Xiangxiang.

And the items sold in the Xiangxiang shop made the whole Chang'an city boil.

Rose perfume in a glass bottle.

Glazed glass and perfume are extremely valuable items right now.

And Miss Xiangxiang combined them into one, directly creating a glass bottle of perfume.

It is really unbelievable.

Liuli is not very attractive to the noble ladies in Chang'an City.

However, the temptation of perfume to them is too great.

Perfume, only Persian merchants, can transport thousands of miles to Chang'an City.

And what drove them crazy was that each time the quantity was only one or two bottles, all of which were packed in ceramic vials.

Once a Persian businessman shows up in the east-west market with perfume, he will definitely be the first to buy it quickly.

Then, I sprayed a few drops on my body, and when I attended a banquet, I provoked a group of men to sniff their noses vigorously.

Now the opportunity has finally come.

These noble ladies, how can they let go of the opportunity to let themselves be covered with fragrance and make men sniff their noses vigorously.

On the third day, another news spread.

Xiangxiang Shop will open at an auspicious time tomorrow morning.

A glass bottle of perfume is sold, the one with the highest price will get it.

The news was like a hurricane, quickly sweeping through the entire Chang'an City.

Even Empress Changsun in the palace was moved.

Li Shimin naturally also heard the rumors from Li Junxian, the leader of Baiqi Division.

For Miss Xiangxiang, who touched the colorful glass beads, she understood the art of making glass bottles and perfume.

Li Shimin is seriously skeptical.

Just after Li Shimin listened to Li Junxian's report, he asked Li Junxian to collect clues.

For Li Junxian's ability to handle affairs, Li Shimin was very relieved.

After arranging everything, Li Shimin strode towards the Lizheng Hall.

"Erlang, my concubine heard that there will be perfume for sale in Lidong Market tomorrow, and it will be perfume in glass bottles!"

Empress Changsun took Li Shimin's arm and said with a smile.

"Guanyin maidservant, I also heard that it is the Xiangxiang girl from Pingkangfang, Guanyin maidservant, don't you feel a little weird?"

Li Shimin patted the back of Empress Changsun's hand lightly, with doubts in his eyes.

"When Erlang said this, the concubine also thought it was a bit weird. How could a top geisha in Pingkang Square suddenly have such great skills?"

Li Shimin nodded with a smile when he heard the words, and said.

"Guanyin maidservant, it won't be long before the truth will be revealed."

"However, I already have some guesses in my mind at this time."

Seeing Li Shimin's confident appearance, Empress Changsun suddenly remembered something.

"Erlang, Chu Mo once asked Gen'er to compose a poem for him, but Chu Mo took that song of longing and went to Pingkang Fang to win the heart of Miss Xiangxiang."

After hearing what Empress Changsun said, Li Shimin burst out laughing.

"Guanyin maidservant, Guanyin maidservant, this time we want to go together again."

"I just can't figure it out, why did Gen'er do this? Could there be something hidden in it?"

Li Shimin frowned.

Li Shimin is a very curious person, if he can't figure out something, he will definitely keep figuring it out.

It was still like this when he was the King of Qin before, but now that he is the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he even wants the whole world. In front of Li Shimin, there is no secret at all.

"Your Majesty, Empress, please see Commander Li."

"Oh, let him in."

Li Shimin heard that it was Li Junxian, and knew that it was, and there was definite news about the Xiangxiang shop.

"Your Majesty, the glass bottle of perfume sold in the Xiangxiang shop is from the hands of His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the emperor."

After listening to Li Junxian's words, the expressions on the faces of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were very exciting.

This matter really made them guess right.

"Jun Xian, how did you determine this matter?"

After getting the answer, Li Shimin naturally wanted to know more details.

"Your Majesty, in the evening three days ago, Chu Mo went to the manor. According to Bai Qisi's spy, Chu Mo left empty-handed. When he came out, he had an extra wooden box."

"And after Chumo entered the city that night, he went directly to Pingkangfang. When he came out, the wooden box in his hand was gone."

"On the second day, Chumo bought a house in Anyifang and a shop in Dongbazaar, and then went to Pingkangfang to redeem Miss Xiangxiang."

"Place Miss Xiangxiang in the courtyard of Anyifang. According to the spies, Miss Xiangxiang may be pregnant."

"Oh!"

After listening to Li Junxian's words, Li Shimin seemed to understand the key point.

"Jun Xian, so Duke Su doesn't know about this?"

"Returning to His Majesty, Su Guogong should not know about it."

After listening to Li Junxian's words, Li Shimin nodded.

"Okay, Jun Xian will step back first!"

Li Junxian bowed respectfully and withdrew.

Li Shimin tapped his fingers on the table, making a crisp sound.

"Guanyin maidservant, I still don't understand why Gen'er gave such a big deal directly to Cheng Chumo."

"Erlang, is it related to that girl's pregnancy?"

After listening to Empress Changsun's words, the more Li Shimin thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

"Maid Guanyin, you just heard that Cheng Chumo took a wooden box from the manor and put it in Pingkangfang."

"Now I suspect that the money for the house in Anyifang and the shop is all from the roots."

"We paid out money and glass bottles of perfume, and in the end the business was done by others."

"Oh, prodigal, what a prodigal!"

The more Li Shimin thought about it, the more something was wrong. Those who have seen a prodigal have never seen such a prodigal.

"Come here, send an order to Duke Su to see you."

Li Delu, the chief servant, took orders and left immediately.

A quarter of an hour later, Cheng Yaojin strode over.

Seeing Cheng Yaojin's big black face, Li Shimin felt much darker today than before.

"Zhijie, did you hear that there is a shop in the East Market that will start selling perfume in glass bottles tomorrow?"

When Cheng Yaojin heard this, his enthusiasm immediately rose.

"Your Majesty, I am also in charge of this matter!"

"I don't know if it's that stupid person who sold such a good glass bottle of perfume to a woman from Pingkang Fang?"

"Isn't this fucking stealing our business? Anyway, I don't believe those rumors in the market. What Xiangxiang girl knows the art of making glass and perfume because she touched the five-color glass beads."

"It's all nonsense and fooling people."

Li Shimin almost couldn't hold back when he heard the words.

That son of a bitch, not your son of a bitch, did a good job.

However, Li Shimin was happy in his heart, but he didn't say anything.

"Zhijie, you go back first, and I will send you an order after I have definite news."

Cheng Yaojin left the Lizheng Hall in a daze.

What happened today, His Majesty sent an edict to himself and asked about this well-known matter in Chang'an City.

Li Shimin asked Li Junxian to prepare the carriage immediately after Cheng Yaojin left the Lizheng Hall.

A quarter of an hour later, Li Shimin got into the carriage, left the palace, and went straight to the south of Chang'an City.

When Li Shimin arrived at the gate of the manor, it happened to be lunch time.

Li Gen and Kong Yingda walked side by side, ready to go back to the room for dinner.

Suddenly the four dogs ran towards the door cheerfully, which made Li Gen mistakenly think that Chu Mo had come.

Suddenly, the figure of my father appeared at the door.

To Li Gen's delight, he quickly greeted the past.

"Father, why do you have to go home today? It's not the holiday yet?"

"Gen'er, I have something for my father, I want to ask you, so I come to have lunch with you at noon."

"Okay, Dad, come in quickly, the north wind is really strong today."

Kong Yingda smiled and saluted Li Shimin.

The three of them walked to the room together.

Changle was naturally very happy to see his father coming.

Although it was just a regular meal without any special preparation, Li Shimin also ate very comfortably.

After Kong Yingda was full, he excused himself to visit the academy and left the room.

"Father, take Lele and Wu Zhao to the next room. My son has something to discuss with Gen'er."

After listening to Li Shimin's words, Li Yuan smiled and nodded, and left the room with the two girls.

In the room, only father and son were left.

Li Shimin looked at Li Gen with a smile, and asked.

"Gen'er, there have been rumors in Chang'an City recently that the glass bottle of perfume came from your hands?"

Hearing this, Li Gen nodded without hesitation and spoke.

"Father, to tell you the truth, it is indeed from the hand of the boy. Father, don't worry. I still have this glass bottle of perfume as a gift for my mother."

Hearing this, Li Shimin nodded with a smile. Before he came, he had already thought that the glass bottle of perfume must be made by Li Gen.

It's just that Li Shimin was very puzzled why such a valuable item was sold by others.

"Gen'er, my father doesn't understand. Since it is from you, why is it a woman from Pingkangfang who opened the shop?"

"Father believes in you and has never been to that kind of place."

After listening to his father's words, Li Gen had no choice but to recruit them truthfully.

"Father, something happened to Brother Chumo, he made Miss Xiangxiang's belly bigger."

This is a good use of words, which made Li Shimin feel refreshed.

"Father, when my son asked you to come to Chang'an City to join Su Guogong, we have a good life now."

"Now my father is the prime minister of Wupin Temple, and Gen'er has also been canonized as Marquis of Lantian. All of this is inseparable from the help of Su Guogong."

"Father, Gen'er is a person who knows how to repay kindness, and the kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring."

"Brother Chu Mo right now, I'm worried that Uncle Cheng won't be able to accept Miss Xiangxiang, so the boy can only make a bad move, let the store open first, and everything will be easy after the baby is born."

After listening to Li Gen's words, Li Shimin really didn't know what to do.

Alas, who can blame me!
It's all trouble caused by concealing the truth.

In Gen'er's heart, Cheng's family's kindness can never be repaid in this lifetime.

"Okay, it's tomorrow for my father."

"Gen'er, I still have important work to do as my father, so I'll go back first, and my father will come to see you in a few days."

"The glass bottle of perfume, bring a bottle to father."

Hearing this, Li Gen immediately took a glass bottle of perfume and handed it to his father.

Li Gen sent his father to the gate of the manor, watched the carriage go away, and then returned to the manor.

"Guanyin servant girl, what is this?"

Li Shimin returned to the palace, immediately stepped into the Lizheng Hall, and presented the glass bottle of perfume in front of Empress Changsun.

"Erlang, it's really made by Gen'er, what an exquisite glass bottle."

Empress Changsun happily took over the glass bottle of perfume, and she really couldn't put it down.

"Erlang, it smells like roses."

Empress Changsun uncorked the bottle, took a deep breath, and immediately closed her eyes intoxicated.

Suddenly, Empress Changsun felt a tickle in her throat.

As if something was wriggling inside.

Then he coughed violently.

"Guanyin maidservant, are you okay? Why did you suddenly cough again?"

"Erlang, it's okay to be a concubine, maybe a concubine is not blessed to enjoy the smell of this perfume."

Empress Changsun quickly covered the cork, she already felt that the discomfort just now was caused by the perfume.

Because after putting the cork on, Empress Changsun felt that the discomfort just now was gradually disappearing.

Li Shimin, who didn't believe in evil, took the glass bottle of perfume, uncorked the bottle himself, and took a deep breath.

It smells good, it smells really good!
Li Shimin was deeply intoxicated by the fragrance of roses, and he felt no discomfort at all.

"Come here, send an order to Imperial Physician Gao of the Imperial Medical Office."

Imperial Physician Gao from the Imperial Medical Office soon came to the Lizheng Hall to feel the pulse of the empress.

After some diagnosis, Imperial Physician Gao spoke.

"Your Majesty, the empress's pulse is stable, and both mother and child are safe."

Li Shimin nodded reassuringly.

"Why did the queen suddenly feel unwell when she smelled the perfume just now?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, can I let my minister smell the perfume?"

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin handed the perfume to Imperial Physician Gao.

Imperial Physician Gao took the glass bottle of perfume, carefully uncorked the bottle, and took a deep breath.

"Your Majesty, this perfume smells very fragrant. It is made of pure rose petals. It will not be harmful to the queen's phoenix body."

"The empress feels a little unwell, maybe it's because of the dragon child in her belly!"

Li Shimin nodded with a smile, and asked Imperial Physician Gao to put down the perfume and leave.

"Guanyin maidservant, perhaps, as Imperial Physician Gao said, it is our prince who has become mischievous again."

Li Shimin put his head on Empress Changsun's abdomen and listened carefully.

"Little guy, you have to live in peace, don't make the queen uncomfortable."

After listening to Li Shimin's words, Empress Changsun had a happy smile on her face.

"Come here, send an order to Su Guogong, see you in the imperial study!"

Li Shimin decided to have a good chat with Cheng Yaojin. After all, it is the Xiangxiang shop opened by that dog day.

Cheng Yaojin was issued an imperial edict twice a day, so he was really a little confused.

By the time Cheng Yaojin stepped into the imperial study, Li Shimin had already drank the warm tea.

"Sir, see Your Majesty!"

"Zhijie, sit down and talk."

Cheng Yaojin saw that Li Shimin had a smile on his face, and knew that today should not be a bad day.

"Zhijie, I just found out who opened the Xiangxiang shop."

"Your Majesty, it's that bastard who really pissed me off."

Cheng Yaojin looked like blowing his beard and staring.

Li Shimin picked up the teacup with a smile, took a sip of tea, and said.

"Zhijie, it's exactly what your family opened silently."

Cheng Yaojin was in a daze on the spot.

The two eyeballs are bigger than a bull's eye.

"Your Majesty, I really don't know."

"Your Majesty, just wait, if I don't beat that bastard half to death, I will take his mother's last name."

Cheng Yaojin is also going all out, this time he must be beaten to death.

This kid got into trouble, but his mother made it too big.

"Zhijie, please be safe and don't be impatient, and listen to me to finish."

"Come on, have a cup of tea first."

The more enthusiastic Li Shimin was, the more anxious Cheng Yaojin became.

Cheng Yaojin is very clear about Li Shimin's smiling face.

"Zhijie, do you know why Chumo let Xiangxiang open this perfume shop?"

Cheng Yaojin's head shook like a rattle.

With a sudden slap on the forehead, Cheng Yaojin looked like he was just waking up from a big dream.

"Your Majesty, could it be that His Highness ordered you to do so."

Li Shimin sneered at the corner of his mouth.

"Zhijie, can Gen'er open this perfume shop silently at the behest of no reason?"

Cheng Yaojin thought about it, that's right, at least everyone can discuss it and make money together.

"To tell you the truth, your family is silently involved, and something big is involved."

"Chu Mo has no choice but to find Gen'er. Gen'er is simple and kind-hearted. Hearing that Chu Mo is in trouble, how can he not help."

"That's why I didn't hesitate to take out such a precious perfume."

"Cheng Zhijie, Cheng Zhijie! The more I think about it, the more angry I get. The money for buying the house, the shop, and the glass bottle of perfume are all from my prince."

"Just wait to collect the money!"

In Li Shimin's almost roaring anger.

Cheng Yaojin finally understood.

Chu Mo, this brat, is really fucking capable of tossing around!

Also pretty damn capable.

It actually made Pingkangfang's top card bigger.

There are a few top brands in Pingkangfang, they are one of the few existences.

"Cheng Zhijie, tell me, what should I do now?"

Li Shimin waved his sleeves, looking angry.

Like a small volcano that may erupt at any time, it depends on how Cheng Yaojin behaves.

"Your Majesty, I really didn't know about the festival before."

"Now, since the shop and the perfume are all produced by His Highness, my old Cheng will never dare to ask for a copper coin."

"Humph!"

Li Shimin snorted coldly when he heard the words, but felt much more at ease.

Count you as Cheng Yaojin.

"How do you deal with the matter between Mo and that Xiangxiang girl?"

When Li Shimin's words fell to the ground, Cheng Yaojin was worried.

Chu Mo is the eldest son of the Cheng family. In the future, he will inherit the title of duke of the country. It stands to reason that marrying a princess for fun is a very simple matter.

However, right now, this stinky boy has actually made a big name in Pingkang Fang.

What made Cheng Yaojin even more troubled was that His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the emperor who was most valued by His Majesty, actually helped him secretly.

In an instant, Cheng Yaojin made up his mind.

Now that the girl is pregnant, and the child is still silent.

Becoming Chu Mo's concubine in the future can also be considered.

Although Cheng Yaojin has never seen the real face of Miss Xiangxiang, but it is rumored that the woman looks like a fairy, and she must be very beautiful.

Perhaps the eldest grandson born can change the good traditions of the old Cheng family, no longer one generation is stronger than the next, and they are all black and shiny things.

"Your Majesty, since that girl already has descendants from our old Cheng family, my old Cheng family will naturally be responsible for this matter."

"Your Highness can think of leaving incense for my old Cheng's family, how can I, Cheng Yaojin, be unreasonable."

After listening to Cheng Yaojin's words, Li Shimin nodded with a smile.

"Zhijie, I'm so relieved that you can think so."

"Tomorrow, the Xiangxiang store in Lidong Market will officially open. Rumor has it that the perfume will also be sold through auctions to increase the price of the perfume."

"I won't let you have nothing to gain. Since Gen'er promised Chu Mo, I will more or less give Zhijie a dividend."

"They don't know about this matter, so don't let the news out for the time being, I will send someone to protect the perfume shop secretly."

"Knowing festivals should also use more snacks, don't let me worry about everything."

"It's exhausting enough for me to be in charge of the entire Tang Dynasty."

After hearing Li Shimin's words, Cheng Yaojin took a deep breath, stood up and saluted.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I know what to do."

Li Shimin nodded with a smile.

"Okay, let's step back first, remember the matter of Chu Mo and wait for a while, and then have a good talk with him. We all came here when we were young."

"Sir, I would like to obey His Majesty's orders."

Cheng Yaojin left the imperial study room in great strides.

In my heart, it was a beautiful feeling.

Bai has a beautiful daughter-in-law and a grandson. Most importantly, the perfume store also has shares.

This thing is beautiful.

This kid, Chu Mo, did a really good job.

……

The Xiangxiang shop, which has been exaggerated for three days, finally officially opened in the eyes of everyone's anticipation.

When the sun shines on the earth, the morning in Chang'an City is still chilly.

But the cold wind couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the crowd, let alone those ladies who flocked to it like eagles.

Cheng Chumo wore a hat and hid in the crowd. At this time, he naturally didn't dare to show his face and appeared in the shop.

To his surprise, the Wannian County Government dispatched more than [-] officials to maintain order at the scene.

A group of noble ladies were invited to the front of the shop, about three steps away.

Chunzhu and Chunju opened the shop door.

In an instant, a fragrant smell of roses diffused from the shop.

Miss Xiangxiang was dressed in white, like a fairy, holding a bottle of perfume, uncorked the bottle, and put some on her finger.

With a light flick of the fingertips, the perfume sprinkled around the shop with Miss Xiangxiang's fingertips.

"Wow, it smells so good!"

"Yeah, it's really delicious!"

"Look at the glass bottle in Xiangxiang's hand. Just that glass bottle is priceless!"

"Yeah, there's only one bottle of perfume today, and I don't know who it will go to?"

"Don't panic, don't panic, look at these noble ladies, that one is not of status and status, after all, this perfume was obtained by one of them today."

Twenty or thirty noble ladies gathered at the entrance of the shop, enjoying the taste of being praised by everyone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we only bid for one bottle of perfume today, and the starting price is ten taels of gold."

Miss Xiangxiang's red lips were lightly parted, and her ethereal voice made all the men intoxicated.

"100 taels..."

"200 taels..."

"500 taels..."

As soon as Miss Xiangxiang's words fell to the ground, the noble ladies began to bid one after another.

Don't look at ordinary times, their elder sister is long, and their younger sister is short.

At this time, it is not the time to talk about the relationship between sisters, the first to act first, whoever can come out on top today will have a brighter face.

The noble ladies bid fiercely, and the common people who watched were also very excited.

From time to time, bursts of applause and applause erupted from the crowd.

It's been a long time since people saw such a lively scene since the auction of Liuli Shop.

What's more, although most of the noble ladies gathered at the entrance of the shop are old and pale, there are also many young and beautiful new wives.

Wouldn't it be a joyful thing for everyone to feast their eyes on together?

In the end, the perfume was obtained by Lu Shi, the wife of Cui Zixuan of Cui Shi of Qinghe.

The transaction price was 800 taels.

Cui and Lu have been married for generations.

The two families are both distinguished families with five surnames and seven wangs, so their backgrounds are naturally very profound.

"Ladies, don't be discouraged. Tomorrow, our store will bid for two bottles of perfume."

After the money and goods were cleared, Miss Xiangxiang said with a smile.

The first business of Xiangxiang Store on the first day ended successfully.

Li Shimin also got Li Junxian's memorial immediately.

Three days later, it was the holiday.

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun both put on ordinary clothes.

After explaining the affairs in the palace, Empress Changsun took Li Shimin's arm.

The two boarded together, the carriage driven by Li Junxian.

Inside the manor, it was also very lively at this time.

Li Gen had learned from Zhao Si and Feng Wu last night that his father would bring a guest with him today.

Li Gen naturally understood who the so-called guest was.

Early in the morning, he ordered to kill pigs and sheep, as well as a few chickens, ducks and geese.

After the academy made all the arrangements to Master Kong, Li Gen led Lele to sit at the gate of the manor, basking in the sun and looking into the distance.

The carriage driven by Li Junxian slowly arrived at the gate of the manor.

With the help of Li Shimin, Empress Changsun, who was dressed in a goose-yellow robe, got out of the car.

"Baby Li Gen, I have seen my mother!"

Li Gen saluted respectfully.

Empress Changsun's eyes flushed instantly.

"Baby Li Le, I met my mother!"

Changle followed suit and paid homage to him.

She was not against her mother's cry at all, because it was her mother in front of her.

"Good boy, really good boy. Along the way, I was still worried that you two would not accept me as an outsider."

When Empress Changsun finished speaking, Li Gen said with a smile.

"Mother, how could it be? I have heard from my father that in Jingyang County, it is the mother who takes care of the father."

"Now that father has brought you back to Chang'an City, our family is truly reunited."

"Father, mother, let's go home!"

"Okay, let's go home."

Empress Changsun couldn't help but burst into tears.

Come back home!

She has never heard of these two short words for many years.

Just entered the gate of the manor.

The left and right sides are full of maidservants and male servants.

"I have seen the master!"

"I've seen Mrs.!"

Everyone bowed their heads and saluted.

Li Shimin nodded very satisfied, this brat is quite a face to me.

Empress Changsun also nodded with a smile. At this time, Hongxiu and Tianxiang had not left for the restaurant.

The two hurried over, one left and one right supporting the empress.

Li Gen was very satisfied with the performance of Hongxiu and Tianxiang. He really did not expect such details.

Fortunately, the two maids gave themselves a long face.

When everyone entered the room, Li Yuan sat on the seat with a serious face.

Li Shimin naturally wants to introduce the new daughter-in-law he brought to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan could hardly close his mouth with joy.

Family sitting together.

Chunmei and Chunlan began to serve tea.

"Gen'er, I heard from your father that next year you will only be 12 years old. You will wear this longevity lock with you, and your mother will not give you any presents. When you are 12 years old, your mother will take it off for you. Longevity lock, I hope you and Lele can live a long life."

Empress Changsun took out the two longevity locks that had been prepared.

Bring them to Li Gen and Changle respectively.

"Thank you mother."

"Thank you mother."

Li Gen and Changle thanked happily.

Both Li Yuan and Li Shimin nodded happily.

Despite being well prepared, Empress Changsun was stunned by the delicacies at the luncheon.

It's winter now.

All kinds of vegetable markets have disappeared, except of course mung bean sprouts and soybean sprouts.

However, the dining table was filled with emerald green, bright red or even jet-black dishes.

The whole room is full of rich meat aroma and fresh vegetable aroma.

"Mother, this is the chicken soup my brother made for you."

"My brother said that every day in the future, people will send chicken soup to my mother. This chicken soup will nourish my body."

Chang Le held a bowl of chicken soup and put it in front of the queen very obediently.

Empress Changsun brought some chicken soup to her mouth with a spoon.

His expression brightened in an instant.

They are also chicken soup, the difference in taste between the chicken soup made by the imperial dining room in the palace and that made by Li Gen is too great.

Not only is the fragrance tangy, but it is also very refreshing.

"It's so fragrant and delicious!"

Empress Changsun sincerely praised.

"As long as mother likes it, from tomorrow onwards, let Zhao Si send it to mother's house every day, and let people prepare the meat and vegetables that mother likes every day."

Empress Changsun nodded happily, she will be considered lucky in the future.

Both Li Gen and Li Shimin drank a lot of wine, and even Li Yuan had a few extra drinks.

After lunch, Chunmei, Chunlan and the others cleaned up the table and served tea.

The whole family drank tea and talked at the same time, creating a scene of joy and harmony.

"Gen'er, I will go back home for my father and your mother first, and I will come to see you again for my father on a holiday."

"Okay, father, mother just came to Chang'an City, you are busy with business, and there is no one to talk to in the mansion, or let Lele go over and stay with mother for a while."

Hearing this, Chang Le nodded happily.

Empress Changsun naturally would not refuse, and just took the opportunity to bring Chang Le back to the palace for a few days.

"Mother, wait a moment!"

Seeing his father getting up, he was about to leave.

Li Gen hurriedly took out the gift he had prepared.

"Mother, the items in this wooden box are all for you. Lele knows how to use them."

Empress Changsun happily took over the wooden box. In front of Li Gen, as an elder, Empress Changsun was naturally embarrassed to open the wooden box to investigate.

"Gen'er has a heart, mother, this is the best gift I have received in this life."

Facts have proved that Empress Changsun really hit the nail on the head.

Li Gen kept watching the carriage go away, Wu Zhao followed suit and waved his little hand vigorously, saying goodbye to Sister Lele.

The carriage arrived at the palace.

Li Shimin, Empress Changsun and Princess Changle got off the carriage and went straight to the Lizheng Hall.

"Changle, what kind of gift is inside this wooden box?"

"Mother, they are all good things, you will know when you open them."

Li Shimin also looked at the wooden box curiously.

Empress Changsun opened the wooden box to have a look.

The objects inside made her cover her mouth in shock.

Li Shimin's eyes widened instantly.

The top one is a mirror.

Empress Changsun's shocked expression was fully displayed in the mirror.

"Erlang, how did he do it?"

Empress Changsun took the mirror out of the wooden box, her hands were shaking with excitement.

Naturally, Li Shimin couldn't answer the question of Empress Changsun.

"Mother, this is carefully made by the emperor's brother. There are only three mirrors at the moment, one for the mother, one for the son and one for Wu Zhao."

"However, the two mirrors of Erchen and Wu Zhao, combined, are not as big as the mirror of the queen mother."

Chang Le took out his small mirror from the sleeve, showing his triumphant appearance.

Li Shimin took the mirror and carefully examined himself in the mirror.

Compared with the bronze mirror, this bright and clear glass mirror can clearly see every hair, which is really incredible.

"Changle, what is this?"

Empress Changsun looked at several solid objects in the wooden box and asked.

The solid-shaped object has different colors, including brownish yellow, milky white, and flower-like red.

"Mother, this piece of brown-yellow soap is for washing clothes, and it has a particularly strong decontamination ability."

As soon as Chang Le opened his mouth, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun became more interested.

"Queen, the milky white and red ones are soaps, and it took a lot of hard work for the emperor to make it."

"This soap is for bathing. It smells good when you wash your hands and face on weekdays."

When Changle's voice fell, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun reached out to pick up a piece of soap.

"Well, it does taste quite fragrant, this kid is really capable."

Li Shimin's face was full of admiration.
