Wentang

Chapter 41
"It's unreasonable, it's really unreasonable." Li Shimin said angrily at the case.

The maids and eunuchs around were trembling with fright, wishing they could bury their heads in the cracks of the ground so as not to be seen.

"Second brother, what's wrong, who made you so angry?" At this moment, a gentle voice came from outside the door.

Hearing this voice, the servants who waited on him felt relieved, knowing that the only person who could tie... to persuade King Qin came.

'Zhiya' The door was pushed open, and a graceful figure walked in, it was the eldest grandson Wugou.

"Why are you here, maidservant of Guanyin?" Li Shimin said with a smile on his face.

"It's autumn and the weather is still so hot, I cooked a bowl of mung bean porridge for my second brother to relieve the heat. I just chilled it, so you drink it while it's cold." Changsun Wugou said.

"You are still the most caring." Li Shimin's heart warmed, and his anger disappeared immediately.

After he finished drinking the mung bean soup, Changsun Wugou tentatively asked, "What made Second Brother so angry?"

"You can see for yourself." Li Shimin said as he handed her a secret letter.

Changsun Wugou took it and looked at the beginning, his heart skipped a beat. It turned out that this secret letter was sent by the person who monitored and protected Yueshan.Did he commit something?

Looking down quickly, the brows could not help but wrinkled.It's normal, I didn't bully men and women, and I didn't run amok in the village. Not only did I not do anything illegal, I even hesitated to lower my status to give lectures to the children of the common people.

If there is something different from usual, that is, there are more officials and gentry visiting him, but isn't this normal?

There was a nobleman in the place, and it was normal for a respectable person to visit and make friends, there was nothing wrong with that.

But why is the second brother so angry?
Is it...

After all, he is the eldest grandson Wugou, he was born with a seven-aperture exquisite heart, and he knew his husband very well, so he soon found out the reason.

"It's really irritating that the squires and clans are connected with each other."

"Yeah, look, a few days ago, Yue Shan was still a poor boy with no family, and he had to fish to subsidize his family. Once he was ennobled, he would have a fortune of thousands of dollars just by receiving gift money." Li Shimin's anger that had just subsided rose again. rise:

"What's the purpose of those people giving gifts? It's not because they want Yue Shan to be connected with them to advance and retreat together. Seeing the small things, the whole world is like this. No wonder the government's decree can't be implemented."

"Second brother put the fire away, isn't it true that Yue Shan didn't get along with them?" Changsun Wugou persuaded.

"But how many people in the world can stick to their hearts like him, and most of them are people who forget righteousness for profit." Li Shimin said angrily.

The eldest grandson Wugou was speechless, she really couldn't answer this question.Do you want to tell your husband that this has been the case in all dynasties?Pointless.

After venting, Li Shimin also felt that his emotions were a little too extreme. He accidentally hurt his wife, so he wanted to make amends. He said with a smile: "It's still Guanyin's maidservant who can recognize people with her eyes. If she goes out for an outing and meets a young man by chance, she is such a brilliant person."

The eldest grandson Wugou would not take his aggressive tone seriously, and followed his words: "My vision of knowing people is unparalleled in the world."

Li Shimin was very surprised to hear his always modest wife say such proud words.However, Changsun Wugou's next words made him feel as sweet as eating a jar of honey:

"That's why I fell in love with my second brother at first glance."

"Haha..." Li Shimin was amused by his wife's unexpected love words, and immediately forgot the unhappiness just now.

The eldest grandson Wugou's personal maid led the other servants and quietly left the room with a wink, leaving only the couple whispering their own words.

While chatting, the two talked about Yue Shan again.

"This kid is really good. He has lived up to your trust from Guanyin's servant. It is said that he will build a school with his own money for the children in the surrounding villages to study." Li Shimin said.

"Does he understand this? Don't be fooled." Changsun Wugou's face brightened, he was more satisfied with the younger brother he had accidentally recognized, but then he said worriedly.

"Don't worry, that kid is not stupid. He asked Tian Xuechen for help. Tian Xuechen was born as a scholar, and he was most attentive to persuading students, and solved many problems for him." Li Shimin said.

"That's good, but after all, he is a young man who doesn't know much about the world, I'm afraid he will be deceived by others. How about we introduce a gentleman to him?" said the eldest grandson Wugou.

"OK……"

This is the case with friendship. When you keep improving and giving each other face, fake friends become real friends.When you keep causing trouble for each other, real friends can also become fake friends.

This is the case with Yue Shan and Changsun Wugou.

It was just a chance encounter, and the eldest grandson Wugou came to recognize this younger brother out of interest.The identities of the two parties are very different, and according to normal circumstances, they will become strangers in a short time.

However, Yue Shan first took out the horseshoe, and then took out the Quyuanli... After being knighted, he behaved in a down-to-earth manner, did not lose himself because of high-ranking officials and rich salary, and even made friends with Pei Ju...

All these incidents not only allowed Changsun Wugou to continue his interest in him, but also filled her with a sense of accomplishment.Look, this is my foster brother, excellent, right?
Because of this, Changsun Wugou unconsciously recognized the existence of this righteous brother.She began to think about planning for her foster brother.

On the other side, Yue Shan didn't know that Li Shimin was furious because of his affairs.He was looking at the mountain of money piled up in the house and worrying.

Yes, mountains of money.

After Tian Xuechen left, all kinds of out-of-reach people came to give gifts.Wang Xiangshen from the East Village, Liu Tuhao from the West Village, Ma Fushang from the South Village, Zhao Yuanwai from the North Village...

These are still small shrimps, and even the families of many officials and lords have come to pay a visit.It's just that they didn't come here in person, but sent a housekeeper.

These people will not come empty-handed, they will bring congratulations more or less.What’s less is just a few boxes of snacks, but it’s hard to say what’s more.

For example, the squire Wang was going to give him hundreds of acres of fertile land plus a house with three entrances and three exits, which scared Yue Shan so much that he almost kicked him out.

If you send money and snacks, I will keep some of them. This is called reciprocity.What do you mean by sending these fixed assets?Do you think I didn't die fast enough?

After a few days, Lin Linzong collected more than 100 copper coins, twelve bolts of silk and satin, and more than 40 bolts of cloth.Not to mention dim sum, it's a bit exaggerated to ask the whole village to eat a meal, but it's okay for every family to share a little.

Yue Shan did exactly that, distributing some of the perishable pastries door to door.This also made the villagers happy to call Yue Jiagong Hou Wandai.

There's no way, under normal circumstances, maybe they won't be able to eat such serious pastries in their entire lives.

How can this be spent? Looking at these copper coins, Yue Shan rubbed his forehead and said.He really didn't expect that one day he would worry about having too much money.

In the 21st century, direct deposit in the bank will do.But now is the early Tang Dynasty. It is said that the earliest cabinets with banking functions did not exist until the time of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty. Now money can only be spent besides being buried at home.

It is definitely not enough to bury it. Yue Shan from later generations knows that he has not yet reached the stage of hiding money, and spending money is what he should do right now.

But how that money will be spent will require careful planning.

But... Right now, Yue Shan thinks there is another more important thing to do, and that is to see Chang'an City in the early Tang Dynasty.
