Datang: My apprentice is Li Chengqian

Chapter 192 Fire at the city gate, bringing disaster to Chiyu

The city gate caught fire, and the pond fish was hit!
It's about Li Chengqian's situation these days.

As one of the masters arranged by Li Shimin to Li Chengqian, Kong Yingda has always been strict with Li Chengqian.

However, in the past year, the overall situation was relatively harmonious.

At this time, Li Chengqian was not so rebellious.

However, in the past few days, Li Chengqian discovered that Kong Yingda was torturing himself in different ways, but he still couldn't tell if it was true.

You can't let the teacher give you homework and ask you to copy "The Analects of Confucius" twenty times, and you think he is punishing you, right?

The teacher can't test you on the spot in class and ask you to recite a passage of "The Analects of Confucius", and if you can't recite it, it's because the teacher shouldn't ask questions, right?

Anyway, in the past few days, Li Chengqian found that what he needed to learn had doubled.

Even if he was dissatisfied or puzzled, he had nowhere to explain it.

If it really happened to Li Shimin, it is estimated that Kong Yingda would be praised by Li Shimin.

"Qin Langjun, I'm exhausted, I finally escaped for a long time today."

Although the Qin family's other courtyard has not been completely completed, it already has some appearance.

Qin Xiedao asked Li Shimin for [-] mu of land, so he naturally wanted to enjoy it for himself.

So he directly circled a thousand acres of land beside the Weishui River and built a courtyard.

"What? You look so tired recently, does His Majesty have any new orders?"

For Li Chengqian, a young lady, after this period of contact, Qin Xiedao has changed a lot in his opinion.

Originally, in Qin Xiedao's mind, Li Chengqian was definitely a villain.

Whether it's his male favorite, or the image of Po Jiao, or the appearance of messing up his hands and feet in the face of Li Tai's pressing every step of the way, they all left a very bad impression on the world.

But now Li Chengqian, his legs are not lame, and his rivalry with Li Tai is not yet obvious. He is completely knowledgeable and reasonable, which is very attractive.

After all, he was only eight years old.

The appearance of a young adult, compared with the two-year-old Qin Huaidao, gives people a completely different feeling.

"What new decree, Father is very busy these days, and he doesn't have much time to take care of me.

But that Kong Yingda is torturing me in different ways, with a dark face every day, as if the whole world owes him millions of pennies. "

Li Chengqian would not hold it in front of Qin Xiedao, and often showed it in a very natural image.

And Qin Xiedao didn't treat His Highness the prince as a prince too much, on the contrary, he really got along with him like a little follower.

Don't you know that it is precisely because of Qin Xiedao's attitude that Li Chengqian's favorability for him has been greatly improved, and he even thinks that Qin Xiedao is the only one in the world who understands himself.

"Kong Yingda? He has a dark face all day long? Haha, now that you say that, I can guess some reasons.

After all, you must have suffered for me. "

Qin Xiedao is very clear about the situation that the Kong family is facing recently.

Although the Kong family's business is not just the Qufu bookstore, it is definitely the most important and core business of the Kong family.

Now under the attack of Sanlian Bookstore, there is absolutely no power to fight back.

Even if Qufu Bookstore lowered the price accordingly, its cost is still there, no matter how the price is lowered, it is impossible to bring it down to the level of Sanlian Bookstore.

In this way, the only thing left to do is wait for bankruptcy.

Or, they buy paper directly from the Qin family's paper workshop, so that there will be no order of magnitude difference in everyone's printing costs.

Relying on the old customers in the past, I can still survive.

Now let's see when the Kong family bows their heads.

Qin Xiedao did not expect that a joint bookstore would bring down the Qufu Confucian family that had lasted for nearly a thousand years.

"Huh? What does this matter have to do with you? Is it because Kong Yingda has been so hot-tempered every day recently because he provoked you?"

Li Chengqian asked casually, and he was basically right.

"That's right! We have newly opened a Sanlian Bookstore in our residence, which is opposite to the Qufu Bookstore. Now the business can be regarded as booming, which is in stark contrast to the situation in their shop.

According to my guess, Qufu Bookstore has basically not sold a single book these days, and Kong Yingda probably already knows about this.

But he couldn't find a solution for a while, so he was naturally in a bad mood.

Normally, an official at his level would not show it on his face even if he was in a bad mood.

But he happened to know that you followed me every day during this time, so naturally he became even more angry, and you became the scapegoat. "

Qin Xiedao did not lie to Li Chengqian.

Anyway, this is not a big deal.

"I'm dizzy! Mr. Qin Lang, does this count as a fire at the city gate, which affects the fish in the pond?"

Li Chengqian learned Qin Xiedao's mantra very quickly.

Not moving at all means "I'm dizzy".

……

"Mr. Lang, this is the tea sent by Fang Erlang. It is the first batch of autumn tea produced this year. I followed your instructions and boiled water without adding anything."

In the Qin residence, Ying Er came to Qin Xiedao's study with a cup of tea.

Although she has not been with Qin Xiedao for a long time, Yinger already has a good understanding of Qin Xiedao's various habits.

Like tea, others like to add some ginger, green onion, salt, sugar, etc., but Qin Xiedao likes to add nothing.

"The tea sent by Fang Yiai? Does the Fang family have their own tea garden?"

Qin Xiedao asked in surprise.

"Yes, the Fang family's tea garden is one of the best in Chang'an City, and Fang's fragrant tea is even more popular in Tang Dynasty."

Ying'er's understanding of Chang'an City is obviously much deeper than that of Qin Xiedao.

"The Fang family has such a large tea garden, and the tea they produce looks like this, it's really wasteful.

Come on, follow me to Fangfu, I really can't stand this kind of tea. "

Qin Xiedao liked drinking tea more in his previous life. Although he didn't pay much attention to the tea he drank, no matter whether it was black tea or green tea he drank, he had never seen ginger and onion added to it.

Although under his own influence, few people in the Qin family drink tea like this.

However, the production of the tea itself did not meet Qin Xiedao's taste. No matter whether it was making tea or brewing tea, the tea was not much better.

Now that I heard that the Fang family actually owns one of the best tea gardens in the Tang Dynasty, why don't we hurry up and do it, when will we wait?

Even if it's for your own taste buds, you should quickly get out the green tea and black tea of ​​later generations.

This thing is not difficult at all.

It's just a piece of paper that needs to be pierced.

"Lang Jun, this is already the most expensive fragrant tea, and we may not have had better ones in the past."

"If there is no better one, then we will make the best one ourselves."
