Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Outside the post station, beside the broken bridge,

    Loneliness leads to no owner.

    It is already dusk and I am sad alone,

    More wind and rain.

    There is no intention of fighting for spring,

    Ren Qunfang is jealous.

    Scattered into mud and crushed into dust,

    Only the fragrance remains the same.

    At dusk when the flowers were blooming all over the garden, a girl in green stood leaning on the bridge, looking at the happy fish swimming under the bridge, and sang Li Min's fortune teller in a low voice.  This girl looks to be only fourteen or fifteen years old. With her slender figure, delicate oval face, and picturesque eyebrows, coupled with the beautiful scenery around her, she looks like a fairy from the Moon Palace.

    "It's a pity that this beautiful picture did not last long. A little maid with a double bun walked quickly towards the bridge carrying a tray, shouting as she walked: "Miss! Miss!"

    "Lvzhu, please keep your voice down, you've made all my fish noise away!" the girl said with some dissatisfaction, her charming little face was covered with a layer of sunset, making her look extremely charming.

    "Hehe, Lvzhu realized that he was wrong, now he must show his respect to the young lady!" The little maid named Lvzhu stuck out her tongue playfully and said with a smile.

    ¡°Damn girl, you¡¯re so old and you¡¯re not serious yet, who dares to marry you in the future?¡± The girl was amused by Luzhu and laughed.

    "Hey, it doesn't matter if no one wants the green beads. But miss, your husband has sent someone to bring new tea to the old man. The old man has asked people to bring some to you, miss. This tea is really strange. It can be brewed with just boiling water.  It's drinkable, and it smells delicious, please try it, miss!" Lu Zhu said teasingly, and brought the tea in front of the girl.

    "Prince Liang?" When the girl heard 'future husband', her face became very complicated, almost angry and resentful, but not at all happy.  This beautiful girl is Li Min's fianc¨¦e, Xiao Wenxin, Xiao Yu's granddaughter.

    "Miss, I heard that after King Liang was injured and lost his memory, he seemed to be a changed person. He was no longer as domineering as before, and he was also talented. He wrote poems like "The Wine Will Enter", which is now being sung throughout Chang'an. Miss, you  Don't you like His Highness Prince Liang's poem about plum blossoms the most?" Luzhu understood his lady's thoughts very well and immediately explained.

    Regarding Luzhu¡¯s explanation, Xiao Wenxin seemed not to have heard it, and the look on his face returned to calm. He stretched out his delicate hand to pick up the teacup, opened his red lips and took a sip of tea.

    "Good tea, please give some to mother!"

    Tai Chi Palace, Wangyun Palace.

    "Don't you see the water of the Yellow River coming up from the sky, rushing to the sea and never returning. Don't you see the mirror in the high hall has sad white hair, the morning is like blue silk and the evening turns to snow" Li Min very helplessly recited this famous poem about the wine in Chang'an,  Concubine Yang, on the other hand, was half-lying on the couch with a suspicious look on her face. She was holding tea brewed by her son in her hand, but she didn't drink a sip.

    In order to advertise the new tea, Li Min set aside part of the tea leaves to give away, and gave away almost everything he could think of.  Of course, we must not forget to honor Concubine Yang with such a good thing, so he delivered it in person today.  But I didn't expect that as soon as I entered Wangyun Palace, I was pulled by Concubine Yang to recite a poem.  Although she was in the palace, Li Min's poems had reached her ears, but it was difficult for Concubine Yang to believe that they were written by her son.

    In fact, it is no wonder that Concubine Yang is suspicious. The so-called mother knows her son better. A mother knows best what her son is like. With Concubine Yang's understanding of Li Min, she cannot believe that her son has such literary talent.  So as soon as Li Min came in, she pulled her to recite poems.

    "Ming'er, tell me the truth, did you ask someone to write these poems for you?" After finally waiting for Li Min to finish memorizing the poems, when Concubine Yang said this, Li Min was very embarrassed.  .

    "Concubine, do you really not believe in your son?" Li Min looked aggrieved. Although Concubine Yang's guess was very close to the truth, anyone would feel uncomfortable being asked like this by his own biological mother.

    "Don't be angry, M'er. It's not that mother doesn't believe you, it's just" Concubine Yang was actually very conflicted. Emotionally, she certainly hoped that her son would be really talented, but intellectually, she had to doubt it.

    "Mother~" Seeing that Concubine Yang was still a little doubtful, Li Min could only use his trump card and called out to her sweetly, "Actually, my son was injured last time and survived the disaster. Although he lost his life after waking up,  Memories of the past, but I found that many things were learned by myself without a teacher, and even my studies have been greatly improved. Some inexplicable poems often flashed in my mind. Many things were thought up by my son's brain, such as these  The poems, the Three-Character Classic, which was praised by my father, and even the method of making this new tea were all thought up by my son. Mother, please try it quickly, otherwise it will get cold."

    Li Min used the trick he used to fool Comrade Li before to fool his mother. At the end of the sentence, he held the teacup in Yang Fei's hand and sent it to his mother's side.??'s lips to divert her attention.

    "Well, good tea!" Concubine Yang couldn't resist her son's kindness. She sipped the tea and praised it, and then said with a look of relief, "I have known for a long time that my son is born to be extraordinary, and he will definitely be better than your father's others."  My son is outstanding. Sure enough, Min'er, you have not let me down. A few poems have already made your name famous in Chang'an. My mother my mother"

    When Concubine Yang said this, her tears couldn't stop falling. She said "for mother" two times in a row and couldn't say any more, so she started to cry.  This frightened Li Min. Concubine Yang's health was not good to begin with, so she shouldn't get seriously ill just because her son was prosperous.  He hurriedly put his arms around Concubine Yang's shoulders for the last time, and used the techniques of later generations to make girls happy to coax his mother, and finally made Concubine Yang stop her tears.

    "You brat, although you seem to be a different person after waking up this time, your mouth is still so sweet." Concubine Yang burst into laughter, pointed at Li Min and scolded, "Okay, these sweet words of yours are still the same.  Put it away, my mother will not do this."

    "Mother, what my son said is true. From now on, my son must be filial to his mother. He will never let her worry about her son again, and he will never make her angry again." Although Concubine Yang said that  Although he didn't like this, he was so amused by Li Min's words that he chuckled, and the look he looked at Li Min was very loving and gratifying.

    Li Min was also very happy. In addition to making Concubine Yang happy, he finally discovered one of Li Min's previous strengths: his sweet mouth.  No wonder Concubine Yang doted on his troubled son so much.

    Next, Li Min had a conversation with his mother and asked someone to bring tea in.  Of course, he would not be stingy with his mother Li Min. One gift would be a hundred kilograms of tea. Of course, Concubine Yang could not drink so much tea by herself. Concubine Yang was asked to give these to her concubines.  You can advertise this kind of tea, and secondly, it also gives Concubine Yang some face.  After all, having such a filial son and so generously sending such good tea would definitely arouse the envy and jealousy of many concubines.

    Li Min stayed at Concubine Yang's place all day and did not leave until dinner. When he rode back to Prince Liang's Mansion, he found Gao Zhong waiting for him outside the mansion. It seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.  .

    "Your Highness, you are finally back. Your Highness the King of Shu and Jiu Lian have been waiting for you for a long time. The old slave has asked people to prepare food, and now they are eating in the front hall." Seeing Li Min coming back, Gao Zhong hurriedly came up to hold him back.  Reining the horse, he helped Li Min off the horse and said.

    "Oh, Third Brother and Jiu Lian are both here?" When Li Min heard that Li Ke and Li Yong were both here, he felt a little strange and hurriedly followed Gao Zhong into the palace.

    "Brother Wang, that chicken is mine, how can you bully a small one?"

    "Jiu Liang, I don't like mutton, so I'll give you the plate of mutton, but I'd better give this chicken to you!"

    As soon as I arrived at the door of the front hall, I heard the quarrel between the two people inside. As soon as I entered, I saw Li Ke holding a beggar chicken and gnawing wildly, while Li Yong stuffed mutton into his mouth with a look of complaint.  In the Tang Dynasty, the meal sharing system was implemented, and the dishes on the table for both people were the same.  It seemed that after Li Ke finished eating the beggar's chicken on his table, he snatched the chicken on Li Yong's table to eat.

    "Liu Lang, you came just in time. Hurry up and ask someone to bring me another chicken. How do you cook the chicken in your house? It's so delicious!" Li Yong saw Li Min coming in and immediately threw away the mutton and shouted  shouted.

    Li Min just taught the cooking method of beggar's chicken to the fifth chef yesterday. Although Li Min likes to eat, he doesn't like to cook. He only knows a rough idea of ??how to make delicious food, and beggar's chicken is no exception.  Li Min explained the principle of beggar's chicken, and then asked Lao Wu to trial-produce it.  It seems that Lao Wu has mastered how to make beggar's chicken today. Li Ke and Li Yong happened to be here, so he made beggar's chicken and served it. After all, it can satisfy the guests and win face for Li Min.

    "Isn't it just a chicken? If you like it, you can ask the kitchen to make more and take it away. As for arguing with the third brother?" Li Min said with some humor, and ordered his servants to bring another one, looking at Li Yong and Li Ke.  The appearance of a person starving to death and being reincarnated as a ghost is really a disgrace to the Li family.

    "Huh~, a chicken can be so delicious. Where did you find the cook, Sixth Brother?" Li Ke finally finished the second chicken. Looking at the chicken in Li Yong's hand, he was still a little unsatisfied. Unfortunately,  My stomach won¡¯t allow it.  He touched his round belly and let out a long sigh before asking.

    "Haha, this is what I thought of by chance. I just asked the chef to make it, and I haven't tasted it yet!" Li Min took a sip of tea and said, although he also wanted to taste the newly made beggar's chicken, but  I had already eaten quite a bit at Concubine Yang¡¯s place just now. After all, the food was cooked by Concubine Yang herself, so I had to finish it no matter what, so now I am overwhelmed and can only watch Li Ke and Li Yongda eat their own.  tasty.

    "Uh~" Li Yongren had a small appetite and was already full after eating just one chicken. He burped and said, "Six"??This time it was really a blessing in disguise. Not only could I write poetry, but the food I thought of was so delicious that I wanted to beg that bastard Cheng Chuliang to beat me up!  "

    Li Yong rolled his eyes angrily at Li Yong's masochistic thoughts, while Li Ke burst into laughter. Unfortunately, he was too full and didn't even laugh twice before holding his stomach and groaning, which made Li Yong laugh again.  Laughing at him in revenge for his hatred of snatching the chicken just now.  They were all brothers, and they fought and fought for a while before they stopped.

    "Sixth brother, are those poems really written by you?" As soon as he stopped, Li Ke asked a question that gave Li Min a headache.

    "Third brother, why are you asking the exact same question as my mother? I have been explaining to my mother all day today. I really don't want to talk about this issue anymore. Why don't you go to the palace and ask your mother tomorrow?" Li Min said.  He said while putting his hand on his head.

    "Third brother, Liulang wrote the poem in front of us, and the title was written by the little fat man himself. How can he lie?" Before Li Ke could speak, Li Yong rushed to speak.  Li Min has such literary talents, and he is honored to be his brother. Even yesterday his father praised him for his ability to recognize people and make friends with Li Min who have outstanding literary talents.  Therefore, Li Yong is Li Min's die-hard supporter no matter whether he is in front of him or behind him.

    "Jiulang, the fourth brother is also the king of Yue after all. Don't call him that in front of others in the future!" Hearing Li Yong call Li Tai a little fat man, Li Ke's face darkened and he said, he was also doing it for Li Yong's good, in case he gave in  If outsiders hear this, they will definitely punish him with disrespect.

    "I only said this in front of you, Third Brother, and it was Liulang who called me this name first." Li Yong said with a playful smile, and also sued Li Min by the way.

    "Don't put all the shit on my head. I've forgotten everything in the past. Anyway, whatever you say will be whatever you say!" Li Min retorted not to be outdone.

    "Rokuro, you are too scoundrel. It was obviously what you said after you composed the poem last time"

    After Li Yong¡¯s interruption, Li Ke no longer wanted to explore the authenticity of Li Min¡¯s poems, but Li Min could tell that the two of them must have other purposes for coming to him at the same time.

    "Third brother, Jiuling, why did you come to see me today? We brothers should stop going around in circles!" Li Min said while sipping tea. It's getting dark now, and the curfew will be in place in a while.

    "Liu Lang is so cheerful. I didn't want to come at first, but my father forced me to come. Isn't it just for the tea?" Li Yong took a sip of tea, then put the tea bowl heavily on the table and said, "The old man looked at  Hong, you forced me to come here, and I want to ask Liulang if you can share some sweetness with him?" Li Yong has always been straightforward with Li Min, and he doesn't want to play any tricks, so he said directly.

    "I don't want to take advantage of Liu Lang. I know the situation in your house better than anyone else. I just want to see how you sell this tea. If you can help me, I will not refuse." Li Ke said very sincerely.  , he was still worried about his younger brother, fearing that he would mess up this good business, so he came to understand the situation.

    "I originally thought so, but when Liulang's tea arrived, King Jiangxia happened to be playing chess with my old man. This old bastard loves money the most. Seeing this tea was like seeing gold and silver treasures.  I nudged the old man, and finally my dad was moved and forced me to ask, but Rokuro, you don¡¯t need to pay attention to them. It¡¯s the right thing to pay off your family¡¯s foreign debt as soon as possible. No one can interfere with this tea, the big deal  Go back and get a beating!" When Li Yong said this, he was also holding his breath.

    The King of Jiangxia is the father of that little fat guy Li Jingheng. His name is Li Daozong. He and Li Yong¡¯s fathers, Li Xiaogong and Li Shimin, are cousins. He is also very good at fighting. His only shortcoming is his greed for money. His family has made countless money, and now he is even  The younger generation has to have a hand in the business, no wonder Li Yong calls him an old bastard.

    "Haha, Brother Lao and Ninth Brother are worried. This tea workshop is in my house, and the sales have been handed over to the businessmen affiliated with my house. I rely on this tea to make money and pay off debts, so no one should  I want to intervene." Li Min smiled.

    "Sixth brother, isn't your family only affiliated with the Wang family? You and them" Li Ke also knew about the trouble between Li Min and the Wang family. Now that Li Min dared to hand over the tea matter to the Wang family, could it be that  Aren't you afraid that the Wang family might be vindictive and not do things well?  Li Yong also looked at Li Min with a strange expression. He was also involved in losing the Wang family's property.

    "Haha, third brother, don't worry. I gave a part of the tea profits to the Wang family, which gave them a chance to make a comeback. And I also promised them that as long as they follow me well, I will return the family property they lost a hundred times.  As long as the person in charge of the Wang family is not a fool, they will never do such a thing that harms others and themselves." Li Min said with a smile.

    Looking at Li Min¡¯s confident smile, Li Ke suddenly realized that his troubled brother had really grown upNow, he is very considerate in his conduct. He is completely different from the former domineering and reckless Prince Liang. Are there really miracles in this world?

    The tea has not yet been put on trial sale, but it has already aroused the covetousness of others. This is something Li Min did not expect.  However, Li Min had an idea and gave him a new idea, which could bring him a lot of wealth in the shortest time, and also allow Li Yong to go back to pay business to his father, and even transfer several businesses to him.  The interests are tied together and the weight of his speech in Prince Liang's house is increased, which is simply killing three birds with one stone.  Of course, in order to achieve this goal, he has to give up some of his interests.
