Busy, busy, busy, for several days, Li Zhen was extremely busy. Although it was put into production and the establishment of bookstores in various places did not require him to worry too much, the people who owned the "Yanji Trading Company" would take care of everything, but the coordination of various departments in the imperial court
But Li Zhen had to come forward in person. After all, the imperial edict was given to Li Zhen, and it would be impossible for anyone else to come forward. Just like that, the two masters Li and Qin could not let go of their work, and the other masters had to take the lead.
Yan Ming and a group of people from "Yanji Trading Company" went to the various departments of the imperial court to pay homage to the dock. How could he be so busy? Even though Li Zhen was in great health, she was exhausted after working around for several days.
During the day, I had to be busy until the key to the palace gate was about to fall before I rushed back to Min'an Palace. According to Li Zhen's words, I was as tired as a dead dog these days.
After working hard for several days, Li Zhen finally straightened out all aspects of the relationship, and took care of everything that should be taken care of. Yan Ming and other people from "Yanji Company" are almost familiar with various departments, at least they can be independent.
After finishing the work, Li Zhen had time to take some time off. Taking advantage of the early morning court, Li Zhen secretly slipped out of the palace and went to the "Qingchun Garden" that she purchased a few years ago to enjoy herself.
"Qingchun Garden" is not big, covering an area of only fifty acres, but it is in a good location, right between Li's Mansion and Qin's Mansion, making it convenient for Li Zhen to take a lunch break, so it is considered a suitable choice. In addition to a
Outside the small Sanjin courtyard, there is the back garden covering an area of more than 30 acres. In the season of blooming flowers, the garden is full of blooming flowers, making the garden extraordinarily enchanting.
The pond that is not too big is covered with lush lotus leaves, and the small pavilion by the water is half-hidden in the bamboo forest. There is a rocking chair and a table. There is a small pot of new tea and a few plates of snacks. They are rocking and humming.
Xiaoqu, it’s so enjoyable to enjoy it.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Yue has arrived outside the door." Li Zhen was feeling happy when Liu Dequan hurried over and said with a hint of panic.
Huh? Why is he here? Isn't it time for the morning court? What if this guy doesn't go to court? Li Zhen was so excited that she sat up straight from the rocking chair. She glanced at Liu Dequan and said, "How much did the fourth brother bring?"
People?"
"When I return to the prince, I haven't counted them in detail. There are about a dozen eunuchs, more than a hundred royal captains, and dozens of long-term followers. There are quite a few people." Liu Dequan didn't understand what Li Zhen was doing at all.
I would ask this question, but I still answered it honestly.
Holy shit, this damn fourth child, damn, he’s planning to set a trap for us! Li Zhen saw the sinister intentions of Li Tai’s move at a glance - coming to visit with such a big fanfare was clearly meant to be advertised widely.
Generally speaking, it is just to send a signal to other brothers: There is a relationship between me and Lao Ba, so you should pray for yourselves.
Damn, there's something fishy here! Li Zhen's heart sank, and she was lost in thought for a while. She neither said she saw her nor said she didn't see her, but just frowned - it's not unusual for Li Tai to find "Qingchun Garden", after all
When Li Zhen purchased "Qingchun Garden", she had no intention of keeping it a secret. Lao Jiu, Li Zhi, also took a lunch break here every day. They are all well-informed people, and they knew that the location of "Qingchun Garden" was also a secret.
It was a normal thing, but what Li Zhen couldn't figure out was: how did Li Tai know that he must be in "Qingchun Garden" now and not somewhere else.
"Your Highness, are you here or not?" Liu Dequan stared at Li Zhen without saying a word for a long time, and reminded him in a low voice.
Hey, it's already now, how can it be done without seeing her? Although Li Zhen already understood Li Tai's intention, everyone has already arrived at the door. If he doesn't see her, not to mention that Li Tai is his elder brother. If his elder brother comes to visit and refuses to see him, then he is not jealous (
If the crime of being unfriendly (brothers) spreads out, it will be a small thing to damage your reputation, but it will be a big deal if you are slapped by the old man. Furthermore, now that Li Taizheng is favored, if you offend him, there will be no good results for Li Zhen.
Eat, put on the shoes, and everything will be over, not to mention that with Li Tai's current power, it is just a piece of cake to rectify Li Zhen's business.
"See you." Li Zhen, who had understood the powerful relationship, gritted her teeth and said, "I will go out to welcome you in person. Eunuch Liu will take good care of the pavilion, and I will receive guests here."
"This..." Liu Dequan was stunned for a moment. He couldn't guess what Li Zhen's intention was. Besides, the reception was either in the study or in the hall. There was no point in being in the pavilion. He was just about to persuade Li Zhen.
Striding out of the garden, Liu Dequan had no choice but to ask the eunuchs to help the servants of "Qingchun Garden" prepare tea and other things.
At the gate of "Qingchun Garden", the tall and strong Yue King Li Tai stood quietly in front of the Daoxia Gate. There was no smile on his square face, and he looked like he was indifferent to strangers. A sense of arrogance spread around him.
Of course, as the legitimate son, he has enough arrogance - whether it is his own talents or holy family, he ranks first among the princes. (Of course, this is what he admits, and his brothers do not admit it.
(Pause.) In terms of power, in addition to the prince, he is also a person. If it were not for special reasons, he would not come to visit Li Zhen in person, even though he has a deep appreciation for Li Zhen's talents.
It's appreciation, but in his opinion, a bastard is a bastard, and no matter how talented he is, he has no status. Unfortunately, this matter is too important, and he has to come.
Seeing that time had passed for a while, but Li Zhen hadn't come out to greet him yet, Li Tai's face turned extremely ugly. He flicked his sleeves bitterly and planned to go home, but as soon as he turned around, he...
Suddenly he remembered the explanation given by the palace chief Shi Suxu before, and immediately stopped. Just when some pieces were undecided, he suddenly heard a burst of laughter from behind. He turned around and happened to see Li Zhen walking hurriedly.
As he walked out of the door, he felt relieved.
"Fourth brother, you are here. Come and sit in the room." As soon as Li Zhen saw Li Tai, she hurriedly took a few steps and respectfully held her hands in front of her.
Li Tai originally thought that Li Zhen would ask him why he was here, but he didn't expect that Li Zhen didn't ask him. He just greeted him with a smile. He was stunned for a moment and then said with a smile: "Eighth brother is a busy man, brother."
If I can’t invite you, I’ll have to come in person.”
You're so busy, damn, look at what you said, it's as sour as jealousy, you don't mind hiccup. Li Zhen cursed secretly, but with a smile on her face she said: "What did the fourth brother say?
This is just a fool's errand, hehe, let's go, Fourth Brother, please come in."
"Haha..." Li Tai laughed loudly and said, "Being busy is better than not being busy at all, right? My brother wants to be busy, so he asked his eighth brother to help."
***, it’s really *** direct! Li Zhen didn’t want to chat with Li Tai in public at all. She just smiled without saying anything, and waved her hand in a gesture of invitation. Li Tai saw Li Tai Zhen didn't answer, feeling secretly resentful in her heart, but there was nothing she could do. She smiled and said, "Okay, let's talk about it in the room."
"Fourth brother, I didn't know you were coming, and I didn't make any preparations. I just have a new pot of tea. Please forgive me." In the pavilion in the back garden, the two brothers sat face to face on a low chair, and Li Zhenbian personally He poured tea for Li Tai and pretended to be apologetic.
"Good tea, well, this is the rare and top-quality Maojian. Haha, even my father doesn't have many teas of this quality, but my fourth brother can really enjoy it." Li Tai picked up the tea bowl, took a whiff, and concluded. He joked to Li Zhen about the origin and grade of tea.
"Haha, fourth brother is joking. The people in the 'business' under my name know that I like this, so they brought a lot back from the south. This thing is not a rare thing in the south. If brother likes it, I will There are more here, brother, you might as well take some away..." Li Zhen replied with a smile.
"Thank you so much, eighth brother." Li Tai looked at Li Zhen and still refused to ask him why he was here. He couldn't help but get a little anxious. Without waiting for Li Zhen to finish speaking, he hurriedly added: "Brother, what are you doing today?" But I’m not here for tea, I need Brother’s help with something.”
***, I’m afraid it’s hard to help you with this. If I help you, the other brothers will still hate me to death. Li Zhen laughed and started to practice Tai Chi: “What did my brother say? I’m a little talented. How can I help Fourth Brother?"
"Haha..., the eighth brother is really good at joking. Nowadays in Chang'an, who doesn't know that the eighth brother is a genius? Who doesn't know the name of the eighth brother? If the eighth brother is not talented enough, then wouldn't all the elder brothers and others be mediocre? "Li Tai laughed loudly and said: "Brother will not let you work in vain. As long as the eighth brother is willing to work with his brother, he will definitely not lose you."
Genius? Damn it! What kind of genius is this? Damn it, this time it’s too big! Well, go to school with your kid? Then we will get on your kid’s boat, no way! As soon as Li Zhen saw Li Tai He looked so convinced that he was angry, but he didn't want to fall out immediately, so he could only smile and said: "Since I want to read this chapter, I have to let my little brother know what is going on."
"Oh, that's right." Li Tai clapped his hands and said, "Brother, I won't hide it from you. This chapter is for the purpose of governing the classics. My father Zeng said: The eighth brother is both master of printing magic and well versed in the meaning of classics. Whoever presides over the affairs of state must bring the eighth brother with him, and here comes the elder brother."
As soon as Li Zhen heard Li Tai's words, she immediately choked on the tea in her mouth. She coughed for a while, her face turned red, and the anger in her heart was enough to poke a big hole in the sky: What? Damn it. !Damn old man, aren't you trying to divert misfortune to the east? How can we deal with these gangsters and seize the legitimate party? Damn it, the fourth child is here to be tough, and he wants to be the first to get there first. I'm afraid the third child will do it later. Will show up, and that bullshit prince probably won’t have to wait long, what the hell is this?
When Li Tai saw Li Zhen's embarrassment, he burst out laughing again. The laughter made Li Zhen so angry that he wanted to curse the old man. Of course, this was just a thought. Li Zhen didn't have the guts to scold his old man in front of others. Yes, seeing Li Tai laughing so hard, his heart suddenly became a mess... dd
