Yipin Tang

Chapter 62 Sea Crab and Big Lobster (Part [-])
Wang Xiang was very curious about what Li Er got him with a cart, this doesn't seem like Li Er's way of doing things.

Following Li Chengqian to the outside of the mansion, a cart full of exquisite gift boxes was piled up, dazzling and dizzying, which immediately made Wang Xiang feel unreal.

It can't be all garbage in there.

With this in mind, I opened a gift box and saw a pair of bracelets carved from high-quality suet jade!If you don't believe in evil, open another gift box, wild ginseng with thick arms for children!Why do you know it is wild ginseng?There is no ginseng breeding technology these days, not wild ginseng.

Pick out the biggest box and open it, good guy, the half-meter-high coral is so red that it’s about to bleed, even if Wang Xiang doesn’t know how to appreciate it, he knows it’s not ordinary.

Not to mention Wang Xiang, even Li Zhi opened his mouth wide in shock, only Li Chengqian looked calm, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he had guessed their reaction long ago.

"This, is this really given to me by His Majesty?" Maybe it was because of Li Er's abuse, Wang Xiang's first reaction was not excitement, but suspicion. In his opinion, there must be something strange about this matter.

But this time, he really thought too much. After all, Li Er is the emperor of Tang Dynasty, rich in the world. Besides, the national power of Tang Dynasty has been booming in recent years, and his warehouse is rich. , Just look at the treatment of Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingde and Cheng Yaojin.The reason why Wang Xiang is so underhanded in the distribution of the benefits of glass firing is that the benefits of glass firing are too great. Even if Li Er does not intervene, other people will intervene in the future, which is not a good thing for Wang Xiang. .Take Dengxian Tower as an example, if it weren't for Li Er's high-profile people to send a plaque with an imperial pen and inscription, how could Dengxian Tower be opened in such a stable manner, Baiwei Tower, Hongfu Tower, Tongyuan Tower, which one is behind it?

Second, in Li Er's view, Wang Xiang is a talented courtier rather than a businessman, and he will be reused more in the future. As long as he works hard for the Tang Dynasty, what rewards do he want that he doesn't have?Scholars, farmers, and businessmen, scholars are the first and businessmen are the last, and their minds should be used on the way of being an official instead of operating for profit.

Seeing Wang Xiang's unbelievable expression, Li Chengqian smiled and said, "If Father hadn't asked, who would have dared to bring you such a load of things? To be honest, even I would be a little envious."

Wang Xiang quickly said: "His Royal Highness can choose whatever he likes."

Hearing this, Li Zhi looked at Wang Xiang anxiously and whispered, "Wang Jiancheng, what about me?"

"It's the same, don't stand outside, go in and sit."

In a good mood, Wang Xiang became energetic.

"Aunt Lin, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness King Jin are having dinner at the mansion today. You cooked the sea crabs and lobsters you bought yesterday as I told you!" When he sat down in the back hall, Wang Xiang immediately ordered Aunt Lin to prepare the meal. .

Li Zhi asked curiously: "Wang Jiancheng, what are sea crabs and big lobsters?"

Wang Xiang smiled mysteriously: "It's a good thing you've never eaten before."

"Why haven't I heard you say it before?"

"It's not easy to get this thing. I bought it at a high price when I accidentally saw a foreigner owning this thing yesterday. It's a coincidence that you came here."

After sitting for a while, Li Chengqian said: "A few days ago, I had to help my father handle political affairs, so I didn't have time to go out of the palace. I miss the food in Wang Jiancheng's mansion very much."

"If His Royal Highness likes to come here often in the future."

Li Chengqian smiled wryly and shook his head: "Father is celebrating his birthday, I don't have time. If I didn't pull this car for you today, baby, I wouldn't be free. Father also asked me to give you a few words."

Wang Xiang got up quickly when he heard the words, Li Chengqian waved his hand to let him sit down, and said with a smile: "Don't be so nervous, it's just common sense."

"Father said, you have done a lot of service to the Tang Dynasty a few days ago, and the Gewu Academy is also running very well. I remember all these things. It's not that I don't want to give you an official title, but it's not the time. I know that you have always complained about the Gaochang matter, so you should do your part for the people of the Tang Dynasty, and when you come back, you won’t be told to go in vain.”

"Also, I know you are timid."

Speaking of this, Li Zhi and Li Chengqian couldn't help chuckling, only Wang Xiang was extremely depressed, and we're not Cheng Chuliang's scumbag, so it's strange that we are timid.

"But you don't have to worry about the trip to Gaochang. I have already arranged everything. Even if I don't think about you, I won't let the auxiliary machine take risks."

Depend on!It's too hurtful to speak so honestly, but it does sound a lot more reassuring.

"This time I celebrated my birthday in the Linde Hall with a banquet for all the ministers, and all the foreign countries sent envoys to celebrate my birthday. My Tang Dynasty is a big country with vast land and abundant resources. Naturally, I want them to see our prosperity. I heard that You have planted a lot of rare things in the vegetable garden outside the city, um, at the birthday banquet, the envoys of those foreign countries will be able to open their eyes."

"Others are eager to give good things to me, but you are good, kid. You hide all the good things, and you want to collect money from me to see if I don't take your skin off. I think you can't get good from a childish slave." of."

Speaking of this, Li Chengqian glanced at Wang Xiang suspiciously, and Wang Xiang quickly argued: "This is really wronging me!" However, his eyes flickered and he was obviously very guilty, but Li Zhi couldn't help giggling.

"These foreign envoys sent too many gifts, and I didn't bother to choose, so I asked the prince to pull a cart for you, so that you won't complain about my stinginess in your heart."

"I dare not!" Wang Xiang was terrified, sweating profusely, this Li Er was too scary.

Li Chengqian laughed and said: "Father is not here, so don't dare to dare."

"That's right, that's right." Li Zhi chimed in cheerfully.

Looking at Li Zhi and Li Chengqian who didn't care, Wang Xiang felt speechless for a while.

Li Chengqian continued: "Father said that this birthday banquet is related to the reputation of the Tang Dynasty. You can't be careless, and your cook who climbed to the fairy tower will follow me back to the palace. Come back after the birthday banquet."

What else can Wang Xiang say, although the business of ascending the fairy tower will be affected to some extent, it is nothing compared to the big gift from Li Er. For the first time, he feels that Li Er is actually quite good to him.

This thought was shattered as soon as Li Chengqian's next sentence came out.

"Father also said that you are the only official below the third rank at this birthday banquet, which is a great favor. If your birthday gift cannot satisfy him at that time, you will not be spared."

"No way! How can you be picky when you ask for gifts!"

Hearing Wang Xiang's pitiful call, Li Chengqian was in a particularly happy mood, he laughed and said, "You can keep talking to your father, now I feel a little hungry, what you are talking about, sea crabs and big lobsters, you should hurry up." Come up."

What about sea crabs and big lobsters? At this moment, Wang Xiang really wants Aunt Lin to put these things away, but boiled cabbage is more or less the same.
