The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Most of the people coming and going on the street were here to shop for the New Year's Day.

The Jingyang Wang Mansion had started preparing many days in advance, and by now, everything was almost ready. Moreover, most of the things for the New Year in the mansion would be prepared in the warehouse at ordinary times, and the purchases outside were just to prepare some ingredients.

When the carriage arrived at the East Market, it was visibly more lively.

The three children were restless in the carriage, and they lifted the curtains to look out.

"Aunt, Uncle Wang, it's so lively outside." Li Lizhi's eyes flashed with excitement.

This was an atmosphere she could not feel in the inner court. If Li Chengqian and Li Tai were enrolled in the Hongwen Academy, they would have many peers around them to be with, even if they were studying and attending classes, they would never be too lonely.

But Li Lizhi had always been with Empress Changsun in the inner court, and she often felt bored in the palace without playmates of the same age.

Li Yuan also looked outside. The crowd outside was bustling and peaceful.

He had a satisfied smile on his face.

As an emperor, one likes to see peaceful scenes.

The emperor is also an emperor.

After the carriage entered the streets of the East Market, the speed of the carriage slowed down. The more shops there were in the middle and the more lively the place was, the more people there were, and the more carriages were coming and going. After finally swaying to the door of the tea shop, he found that there was no place to park the carriage.

Li Fu got off the carriage.

When the shop assistants saw that it was the master of the house, they hurriedly apologized to the people around them and went to greet the master first.

"Master." The shop assistant came to Li Fu and bowed.

The appearance of the assistant also attracted the attention of the guests in the shop.

The owner of this shop is the residence of King Jingyang. The only person who can make the assistants respectfully call him "Master" is King Jingyang himself.

"Have you prepared the place I asked you to prepare in advance?" Li Fu asked.

"It's on the third floor, and it's ready." The waiter said, "Knowing that the master is going to bring guests, there is no other arrangement on the third floor, only the master and the guests."

Li Fu nodded with satisfaction.

The waiter looked outside and then said, "Master, there is no place outside. Why don't you go upstairs with the guests first, and I will arrange the carriage to the backyard immediately."

Li Fu thought about it and shook his head.

"We will go in directly from the back door."

Li Fu turned around and returned to the carriage.

The three children gathered by the carriage window and watched Li Fu walk over from the shop.

"Uncle Wang, what's wrong?"

"There's no room at the door. We have to go in from the backyard and put the carriages there. There are too many people at the front shop." Li Fu said, "Uncle, do you want to get off the carriage here or go in from the backyard?"

The three children gave up their seats at the window. Li Yuan sat inside and looked at the situation outside.

"It's okay. Get off at the door." Li Yuan said, "No one here will recognize me. Don't worry."

"Then I'll have someone send the carriage directly to the backyard." Li Fu said.

Then he called the people in the tea shop and asked them to come over and lead the way for the driver.

Li Yuan and the three children got off the carriage, and the waiter came to greet them.

Zhao Fu was in the tea shop. He couldn't come back during the Chinese New Year. There were a lot of things to do there. He had to continue to work there during the Chinese New Year and the Lantern Festival.

The tea shop was handed over to another shopkeeper he had trained.

Now the other shopkeeper was busy with accounting and entertaining guests in the shop, and he couldn't get away for a moment.

Li Yuan was the first to walk into the tea shop. He was also quite interested in the tea in the tea shop. Although he knew that these teas were far inferior to those he drank, he was still curious about the grading of tea.

He was also happy to see that the tea shop was doing so well.

No wonder his nephew was pulling money from the palace, pulling more than a dozen carts, and the business was so prosperous that he was really making money.

Li Yuan came to the bag of loose tea, and the servant was very considerate and quickly scooped up some with a bamboo spoon.

Li Yuan stretched out his hand, and the clerk poured some tea into Li Yuan's hand.

Li Yuan raised his hand and put it in front of his eyes to look carefully.

"You really don't say, there is still a difference." After reading it, Li Yuan smiled and stretched out his hand to pick up a piece and put it in his mouth.

"The aroma is also different."

"You are looking at the third-grade tea, which is not very different from the ones you drink. The shops in the West Market also have cheap broken foam and large leaves, which are not as good as the worst tea here." Li Fu said: "But those things are cheaper, and people with better conditions can also buy them.Buy some, go back to celebrate the New Year, entertain guests, etc. "

Li Yuan poured the tea in his hand into the hands of a servant.

He walked to the shelves of fancy tea sets again.

"It's really fancy." Li Yuan smiled and said, "It looks good."

It just lacks some calmness, but think about it, not all people who go to the tea shop to buy tea have a certain appreciation ability, and you will understand.

These utensils are of various types, and they also correspond to the preferences of other people.

You can't judge everything by your own standards.

He likes calm and restrained ones, but some people like landscapes, flowers and birds, which are beautiful.

For example, the three children, facing a shelf of colorful utensils, have sparkling eyes.

"Uncle Wang, that one is so beautiful." Li Lizhi pointed to a set of utensils with flower and bird patterns.

"Come on, take that set down and send it to the room upstairs." Li Fu said.

"Yes. "The servant on the side responded quickly, pulled the ladder, and took down the tea set.

Then Li Fu looked at Li Chengqian and Li Tai.

"Which set do you two like? Uncle Wang will give it to you too." Li Fu said.

Li Tai asked for a landscape set, and Li Chengqian shook his head.

"Why, you don't like any of these?" Li Fu was surprised.

This kid has a very picky taste. There is not a set he likes among so many utensils.

"Uncle Wang, I like simpler ones." Li Chengqian said.

"Okay, Uncle Wang will remember it. When the time comes, Uncle Wang will find a set for you and send it to your palace." Li Fu smiled and said, "You three will each have a set. Uncle Wang is impartial. Today you two have chosen. When Uncle Wang finds another set to send to Chengqian in the future, you two must not make a fuss."

"Uncle Wang, don't worry, we can't make a fuss. "Li Tai said with a smile.

Brother didn't choose now, but he should get a set later. Not to mention one set, he is the crown prince, so it is reasonable for him to have ten or eight sets in the palace.
