Stir-fried Datang: The Strongest Daughter

Chapter 93
It's funny to say, Cui Gan's half of his body is buried in the soil in a thousand-year-old family, and he has been in the officialdom for decades, but for the first time he has a sense of fear for a person.But the object is a ten-year-old girl, how unbelievable it is.

After vomiting blood that time, my body and bones are still not healed.The so-called heart disease still needs heart medicine, although in the end he fought desperately, and finally drove that evildoer out of the capital.But the wind of public opinion in the city did not develop in a favorable direction.

According to the reports of my servants, the number of brochures on the market has not decreased, but more.This made Cui Qian's teeth itch with anger, but he didn't dare to stop him blatantly.Although he has not experienced the baptism of the information explosion in later generations, the veteran officialdom knows that this kind of thing is getting darker and darker, and there is no other way but to wait for the turmoil to subside.

"Are you sure it's from Sanyuan County?"

Cui Gan leaned on the soft pillow with a gloomy expression, and listened to the report from his subordinates: "Yes, sir, that Yan Su has followed Cheng Yaojin for many years. I watched him put a few cartloads of things into Shengyefang..."

Cui Gan thought for a while, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "I heard that the demon girl with a lotus tongue, stole a lot of money from the empress, and coaxed many princes and princesses to form some kind of business alliance. There's got to be some action."

"Mr. Lang, why are we just sitting like this? We are insulted like this, and you even hit the young master. This tone is really hard to swallow."

Cui Gan sneered, "Forbearance? Of course I can't bear it."

After a pause, he frowned slightly, and said: "It's just that we will join forces to force His Majesty to drive the demon girl out of the capital. If there is any action now, it may be wrong to force His Majesty too much. You should continue to send people to watch, if there is any Come back with an exception.”

"Yes, sir."

On the other side, in a small building in the Eastern Palace, Li Chengqian was sitting by the window, reading a book in his hand.Suddenly I heard someone report from outside: "Your Highness, the Lord of Chongyang County, Sanyuan County has a letter."

"Oh?"

Li Chengqian put down the scroll slowly and said, "Bring it to Yu Gu."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Xiao Huangmen bent over, opened the curtain, and brought in a letter sealed with red candle oil.

More than a month has passed, and Li Chengqian seems to have become much calmer.The innocence of childhood gradually faded in him, and there was an added depth of being a gentleman, which even made people feel a little gloomy.

The Xiaohuangmen didn't dare to show their grandeur. Ever since the girl from the Cheng family was forced to leave Beijing, their master had changed.He has become taciturn, with a deep but fierce aura, as if he has slowly grown into a generation of kings.The king's mind cannot be guessed. This is the deepest experience of the people in the East Palace recently.

This small building is not very big. In the huge city of Chang'an, people who are not relatives of the emperor and officials are not qualified to build high-rise buildings.Even this small building can barely count as the second floor. The second floor is more like a pavilion. Under the eaves on all sides, there are bamboo curtains, and the whole building is hollow.

Although the temperature in the Tang Dynasty was much warmer than that in the later Song Dynasty, Chang'an in winter is not considered cold in the eyes of modern people.But after all, it was already the twelfth lunar month of winter, even if there was a bamboo curtain separating it, without a brazier, one could still feel the coldness of winter.

Since the girl from the Cheng family left, the prince has to study in this attic every day.In the eyes of the world, Li Chengqian did this behavior of self-abuse, but he did it with great interest. When His Majesty asked about it, he said that only in this way can he better feel the suffering of the people and understand the sages.

For this reason, His Majesty also greatly praised the prince.Xiao Huangmen didn't understand why this was so, but felt that the attic was freezing people into ice cubes, and seeing that the prince didn't even wear a fur, but he didn't tremble like him, he couldn't help admiring secretly, As expected of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the son of the dragon and the grandson of the dragon, he is not in the same breath as lowly people like them.

Li Chengqian opened the letter with the scissors handed over by Xiaohuangmen, and quickly read it from top to bottom. His cold face seemed to melt like spring snow, and a smile slowly appeared, which was fleeting, and then returned to normal. Like a block of ice, braving the breath of "don't get close to strangers", nodded slightly, and said: "Order, continue to watch the aristocratic family, especially the Cui family, if there is anything unusual, report it quickly."

After a pause, she continued: "The girl from the Cheng family's shop in the West Market is about to open, and I've passed on the orphan's order to ask my companion to come and congratulate her on that day."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Xiao Huangmen bowed and withdrew slowly.After the people left, Li Chengqian opened the bamboo curtain and looked into the distance with deep eyes.After a long time, he slowly put down the roller blind, got up and walked to the bookcase, found a sandalwood wooden box from inside, and put Yang Xiaoran's letter in it.

Then he went to the table, ground it himself, picked up a pen and wrote on the paper: "Xiang'er, it's like seeing a letter. It's been more than a full month since I left this Baqiao. I really miss it..."

Stop writing, when that innocent smiling face came to mind, Li Chengqian would smile involuntarily, but when he wrote about the current aristocratic family, his face turned frosty, no one knew that this ten-year-old prince would regard the aristocratic family as such. Like a thorn in his side, he has secretly vowed in his heart that one day he will sweep all the aristocratic families into hell, just to avenge his best friend.

He learned about movable type printing from his father, so he went to the Ministry of Industry and met Xu Jingzong, a sinister man.Xu Yinren's indignation towards this matter won the prince's favor, and this person has enough bad water in his stomach, so he gave the prince a lot of ideas. Let Xu Jingzong, a future conspirator, successfully embrace the prince's thigh.

The yin prime minister who can be famous in the history books naturally has a lot of tricks, even though he is only thirty now, there is already a lot of bad water in his stomach.Yang Xiaoran's public opinion battle gave this Yin man a lot of inspiration.Yin people usually pay special attention to officialdom. As an aspiring conspirator, he knows far more secrets than Yang Xiaoran, and his literary talent is much stronger than Yang Xiaoran.

So, under the suggestion of the prince, the current Comrade Xu Jingzong is working hard to write a book, and in the same way, he has produced an even more terrifying continuation of the secrets of the family. Head straight up.

After writing the letter, Li Chengqian packed the letter and sent someone to deliver it to Duke Lu's mansion. For him, the only thing that can make him feel happier now is to be able to communicate with his best friends.As long as you know that person is doing well, your mood will be much better.

But in Lu Guogong's mansion, Cheng Yaojin is the first and the second eldest at the moment.The things made by his daughter are naturally excellent and very miraculous. Under Yan Su's demonstration, Cheng Yaojin immediately felt that this thing would be a big seller in Chang'an City.

The folk customs of the Tang Dynasty are tough and open, and the people have a high ability to accept foreign things.Besides, a ten-dollar piece of soap is not expensive, and Cheng Yaojin has already arranged everything for his daughter, just waiting for the product to hit the shelves.

For Cheng Yaojin, this is just a matter of moving his mouth, and it is not difficult.But her daughter's letter asked him to find some scholars for herself, and asked him to be born in a poor family, without any backing, and with good character, which was really difficult for Cheng Yaojin.

Although the Tang Dynasty was one of the rare eras in history when both civil and martial arts flourished, there were still very few scholars in this early Tang Dynasty.Most of the talents are controlled by the aristocratic family, but in terms of the "wen" way, it is still incomparable with the Song Dynasty.At least as far as private schools are concerned, there are not many private schools in the whole country. Unlike the Song Dynasty, even in rural areas, there will be scenes of several villages jointly running private schools.

But in the Tang Dynasty, especially in this period, there were very few scholars, not to mention that Yang Xiaoran had a lot of demands.

Not only is it required to be a child of a poor family by birth, but it is also required to be flexible and not pedantic, and to have a passable character, which is difficult.

Mrs. Pei took the letter from her husband, browsed it from top to bottom, pursed her lips and said, "Husband, leave this matter to my concubine."

"Do you have a choice?"

Cheng Yaojin frowned, "Those who teach my little lady are not good. Although those few are from poor families, they are old and well-known in the capital. They just take care of general affairs for my little lady. I'm afraid they don't want to .”

Scholars always have privileges, even the Duke of the State cannot force others to be scholars.

Mrs. Pei pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Husband, you are really a fan of the authorities! Although the children of your two families have withered, and the concubine's family has been wiped out, there are still many children in the side branch. Instead of looking for outsiders , it is better to choose a reliable child from the family to help the young lady, which not only helps the tribe but also praises the little lady's heart. Moreover, the concubine's mother's family and the husband's family have not yet returned to their hometown, so they will be asked to see who is willing to go. "

Cheng Yaojin's eyes lit up, he suddenly burst out laughing, and said: "My good lady, you are really a good helper for your husband. Alas, when people from the clan came to the capital, some motivated children don't want to go back, they want to be with your husband and me. Seeking a way out, I was worrying about how to arrange them. Once you came up with this idea, I have an excuse. Let me do something for the young lady first, well, there are a few children in the madam's family. The old man looks good, and the literary talent may not be outstanding, but If you are honest, it is enough to lay hands on the little lady, Madam, please arrange it now, call people here, and say that I have something to discuss with them."

"Yes, husband, the concubine will arrange to go now."

Mrs. Pei seems to be in a good mood today. Seeing that the end of the year is approaching, she will be reunited with her daughter soon. Today, she received a letter again, knowing that her daughter is doing well in the fief, and her heart is finally gone.The so-called people are refreshed on happy occasions, and the Pei family can walk briskly. After a while, before returning home in the capital, the two families of Pei were summoned to the main hall.

Cheng Yaojin believed in Yang Xiaoran's book once more, expressed his own meaning, and said: "At the end of the Sui Dynasty, there was chaos. The Cheng and Pei families were big families, but because of being framed by villains, the branches and leaves of the two families are now withered. The young lady was taught by an expert. Smart, very much favored, now being forced to leave Beijing is also a last resort. Your Majesty knows what to do, but you can't help him. For the current plan, only we can unite and help my little lady. I believe you have read it, and it doesn't matter. The old man said more, anyone who is willing to go to Sanyuan County to help my little lady should stand up."
