Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    When Li Min heard Wen Xin's straightforward question, he had obviously already investigated clearly, and now he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to. In desperation, he had no choice but to tell everything about Cui Mengxue.  But compared to others, it was much easier for Li Min and Wen Xin to explain, because he had already told Wen Xin about his past life experience as a dream, but he didn't go into details about Xiaoxue. Today happened to be all about it.  Made it up.

    Although the amount of information Li Min told was a bit large, Wen Xin was still able to sort out the whole matter with her cleverness. Even when she finally heard that Miss Mengxue was not the person Li Min was looking for, she was still worried.  She laughed heartlessly, which made Li Min a little confused. As a wife, when she heard that she was having an affair, shouldn't Wen Xin be furious and angry? How could she have such a reaction?

    However, when Wen Xin heard that she met Lu Hong and Cui Huang later, her face was a little solemn. It was not until she heard Li Min's words about snatching Cui Mengxue that she gave her husband a jealous look, and at the same time, she pressed hard on Li Min's arm with her fingers.  He twisted it up, and he grimaced in pain, but he didn't dare to scream.

    But this was just the beginning. When Li Min talked about the words that Chong Chong relayed later, and then Cheng Hualiang came out and forced him to write the documents to marry Mengxue, Xiao Wenxin, a jealous little person, was finally completely overturned. But this  This time, instead of twisting Li Min's arm, she twisted the soft flesh on his waist. As a result, Li Min was so painful that he begged for mercy again and again.

    After Wen Xin finally vented her dissatisfaction, she suddenly let out a long sigh, hugged Li Min's arm and said, "Husband, I know that with your status, sister Xijun and I will not be the only ones around.  I also know that my husband is a very affectionate person, and my mother-in-law wanted to take in concubines for you a few days ago, but you turned them away with various reasons!"

    Hearing Wen Xin mention that Concubine Yang would take a concubine for him, Li Min also smiled bitterly. He had promised Concubine Yang to take a concubine for him.  As a result, Concubine Yang summoned some well-connected ladies and eldest princesses to the palace the next day for detailed information. As a result, she found dozens of girls with good looks and very innocent backgrounds.  This time, Li Min was frightened. If all these women entered his palace, nothing else.  His body can't bear it either.

    Therefore, in desperation, Li Min had to find faults one by one, either saying that this one was not good-looking, or that there was something wrong with that character, but all of them were rejected.  But unexpectedly, they offended the noble ladies and eldest princesses who were the introducers. Led by the shrewd Princess Danyang, more than a dozen people blocked the door of Li Min's house and asked him to give him an explanation. After all, they were  But they all promised the girl's family that they would definitely be elected based on their connections.  As a result, they were all rejected by Li Min, which made them look ashamed.

    " For these elders, and they were all women, even if Li Min was reasonable, he became irrational. In desperation.  They had to apologize one by one and give them many novel gifts to calm down the anger of these ladies.  Thinking about the miserable life of being singled out by a group of women in a short period of time, Li Min couldn't help but smile bitterly.

    Wen Xin saw the wry smile on Li Min's face and knew what he was thinking, and couldn't help but feel a little funny at the moment.  Then he said: "Husband, I know you are doing it for my sister Xijun and me, but Miss Cui has a special status, and you are the one who has failed her, so it is better to adopt her as your wife, which can also be regarded as a gift to your mother and concubine."  Do you think this is a good explanation to save her from having to worry about your troubled son?"

    Although Wen Xin's words sounded nice, Li Min could hear a faint resentment in them. Originally, it was Wen Xin's responsibility to take concubines, but Concubine Yang, a mother, took them away.  Moreover, the people she accepted were not approved by her, which made Wen Xin feel that Concubine Yang was dissatisfied with her.  Of course, as a daughter-in-law, Wen Xin would not say anything wrong about her mother-in-law, but it was inevitable that she would have some resentment in her heart.

    "My Wen Xin is the most virtuous. We will do whatever you say. As for the mother and concubine, it is up to you Wen Xin to make the decision. In addition, the mother and concubine is actually thinking about us and hopes that our Prince Qi family can have a child soon.  , that¡¯s why I found so many girls at once, but since Xijun became pregnant, the mother-in-law is not too anxious about this matter, and she has never mentioned the matter of concubinage to me again until now." Li Min  He hurriedly made peace in the middle. The reason why he asked Wen Xin to talk about Na Cui Mengxue was because he wanted Concubine Yang to see that Wen Xin was helping him take in concubines, so as to change her impression of Wen Xin.

    Wen Xin also understood what Li Min meant. At the same time, she also knew clearly that the reason why Concubine Yang never mentioned the matter of taking concubines since then was mainly because she was unable to be away from home when she was about to give birth. After Concubine Yang finished confinement,  It is very likely that Li Min will arrange for concubinage, but after Cui Mengxue's incident, I think even if he arranges it, his husband can stop it.  Thinking of the above, Wen Xin nodded obediently.

    As the saying goes, only ten of the things in life are unsatisfactory. Although Li Min wanted to use Cui Mengxue's incident to let Wen Xin and Yang Fei relax.At the same time, he was planning to force Lu to break off the engagement.  But what he didn't expect was that something happened the next day, and it was precisely because of this incident that all his plans were disrupted.

    "Sell newspapers! Sell newspapers! Confucian newspaper headlines! A certain prince of the Tang Dynasty molested a drowning woman, and at the same time seduced his engaged daughter to be married. After being caught by her fianc¨¦, he beat her to serious injuries regardless of her status! Everyone, come here  Buy it!" Before dawn the next day, a large number of newsboys were running through the streets and alleys with newspapers on their shoulders, selling this breaking news.

    Everyone has their own side of gossip. Hearing such attractive news, and it is also related to the royal family, naturally aroused the interest of most people. The literate and wealthy people took out their pockets to buy a Confucian newspaper, and the illiterate or  People who had no money also gathered around and asked people who read the newspaper to tell them which prince was so bold?

    Because it is not completely dark yet, major restaurants are generally not open for business. After all, few people drink alcohol early in the morning. However, due to the development of industry and commerce in Chang'an City, more and more people are getting up early to work, and many people have no time to make breakfast.  So I got used to buying some breakfast outside. Every morning, the busiest places are the shops selling breakfast.

    Linxian Teahouse is the largest teahouse in the east market of Chang'an City, and it is also the busiest breakfast spot in the east market.  Because not only breakfast is sold here, but there is also free tea supply. Of course, free tea is definitely not good tea. If you want to drink good tea, you must order it a la carte. Unfortunately, this tea has to be paid separately.

    Linxian Teahouse is not far from the largest Dengxian Tower in Chang'an.  Moreover, the owners of both shops are Wang Zihao.  Today's Linxian Teahouse is the same as in the past. It opened before dawn and was quickly filled with diners having breakfast.  These diners are not all those who get up early to work. There are also many wealthy idlers who like to get up early and come to the teahouse to order a basket of fried dumplings.  It is also a good place to relax while listening to the conversations of people around you and chatting with people you meet.  It's just that compared to the past, the atmosphere in Linxian Teahouse today is more lively because everyone is talking about the same topic.

    "If you ask me, that Confucian newspaper is talking nonsense. Who is His Royal Highness the King of Qi? How could he be scornful of a drowning woman? As for what follows to seduce a girl who is about to be married, it is even more nonsense!"  Wear short shirts.  The man with his thick arms said first. Judging from his appearance, he should be a worker in Dongshi.

    Teahouse is a biological thing. It slowly began to appear with the promotion of tea.  Therefore, the business model of the teahouse has not yet been determined. In order to attract customers, each teahouse is trying its best to attract customers. Linxian Tower specially invites people to read newspapers. After all, the literacy rate is not high these days, and most people cannot read it.  Newspaper content.  People have a natural need for information, so this trick really attracted a lot of people.

    ¡°It¡¯s just that the gentleman who read the newspaper today got an explosive news from the Confucian newspaper. Although the other party did not name him, he directly called him the amnesiac prince. This title clearly refers to Qi Wang Li Min.  As for the content of the news, everyone found it unbelievable, so some people stood up to question it.

    "This brother is right. I don't believe that His Highness King Qi would do such a thing!" As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, a fat man in silk clothes immediately echoed loudly. Look at his clothes and hands.  The white jade beads he was clutching must be a wealthy businessman with a high status. The wealthy businessman said again, "Think about it, everyone, the people in the Confucian Press have long been dissatisfied with our group of businessmen, and they are always against His Highness."  , have repeatedly insulted the development of industry and commerce in Confucian newspapers, and now they have resorted to such despicable means in an attempt to slander His Highness the King of Qi and damage his reputation in order to achieve their ulterior motives, so everyone must be careful  Don¡¯t fall for the other party¡¯s trick!¡±

    However, as soon as the rich businessman finished speaking, a thin man stood up, held up the newspaper in his hand and retorted: "Although what you two said makes sense, I don't think so. Although the Confucian Journal is in opposition to the King of Qi,  position, but other newspapers have always been known for their rigor. If this news has not been confirmed, Confucian Daily News will definitely not publish it, and it is written clearly in the newspaper. The whole thing was witnessed by the gentleman in Confucian Daily News, so naturally it is  You can¡¯t do anything fake!¡±

    "That's good, I think so too!" Another opponent stood up, but this man was an old man with a gray beard, wearing a blue gown, and looked like a scholar. "The news in the Confucian newspaper will definitely not be included.  Fake, and the so-called knowing people but not knowing their hearts, although King Qi has a good reputation among the people and the court, don't forget that he was a prince with a notorious reputation in the past, and even now, some of his actions seem very ridiculous!"

    "What the old gentleman said is wrong!" Before the old gentleman could sit down, another gentle young man stood up and said, "Although King Qi had some misdeeds in the past, as the saying goes, the prodigal son turned back, since the tenth year of ZhenguanAfter that, how many great things did King Qi do to benefit the country and the people?  If you don¡¯t believe it, you can go to Dengzhou and have a look. The people there live a prosperous life and everyone is grateful for His Highness¡¯s kindness. If you dare to say what you just said in Dengzhou, I¡¯m afraid you will be cast aside by all the people!  "

    Under Li Min's governance, Dengzhou has transformed from a small seaside town into a national big city after Chang'an and Luoyang. It can even be compared with Taiyuan, so many people regard it as Li Min's most famous city.  Persuasive political achievements.

    When the old man heard this, he was dissatisfied and immediately asked: "Young man, don't follow what others say. Everyone is saying that Dengzhou is good, but you have never seen it with your own eyes. How can you be sure that Dengzhou is as good as the legend says?  ? Maybe those rumors about Dengzhou are just lies made up by others!"

    As soon as the old man's words came out, the gentle young man who spoke was angered. He snorted coldly and said: "Old man, please don't judge a gentleman with a villain's heart. He is a young man who has no talent. I just graduated from the school a few days ago."  After returning from a study tour in Dengzhou, I saw all the prosperity of the people in Dengzhou. Moreover, there were several classmates who went with Xiaosheng, two of whom were students in the Imperial College. If you still don¡¯t believe it, I can tell you  Give them their names and ask them to verify them!"

    The young man¡¯s words immediately made the old gentleman speechless and he had to sit down in embarrassment.  However, this old gentleman was sitting with a young man with a long face, who seemed to be his nephew. Seeing that his elder was being ridiculed, he could no longer hold back and said: "Brother, what we are discussing today is the Confucian Journal."  The authenticity of that matter is not the merits of King Qi. I think you deliberately digressed. Moreover, many of King Qi¡¯s actions in industry and commerce were contrary to the way of a saint. For example, the so-called textile factory, named  For weaving, but only female workers are hired, and you don¡¯t know what kind of shameful activities they are doing there?¡±

    As soon as the words of this long-faced young man came out, many people in the teahouse immediately changed their expressions. Although there were some rich people like the rich businessman just drinking tea in this teahouse, most of them were ordinary people who worked to earn money to support their families.  Moreover, many people have their female relatives working in textile factories in order to live a better life at home, and the words of the long-faced young man almost insulted all the female relatives in their families.

    The sturdy man who was the first to speak slapped the table and cursed: "Boy, please keep your mouth clean for me. What does it mean to be shameful? Cotton spinning and weaving are all serious jobs in textile factories. If you don't understand, don't do it."  Farting!"

    A stout man is a rough man who does hard work, and when he is angry, he naturally has nothing good to say.  But this was possible, because his wife and two unmarried girls all worked in the textile factory of Prince Qi's mansion, and the other party scolded three of his closest relatives at once, which even a man couldn't stand.

    "Bah, you stinking bastard, you don't have to worry about what I say?" The other party also has a domineering temper, and after hearing the words of the strong man, he naturally won't be outdone.

    The stalwart man and the long-faced young man were scolding each other more and more harshly, and the people around them also started to help. As a result, more and more people joined in the scolding, the atmosphere became more and more intense, and the smell of gunpowder became stronger. In the end, no one knew who it was.  The one who made the first move resulted in a melee, but no one involved in the melee knew it. However, their melee was recorded in history openly, and it also had a specific name. This is the history of later generations.  The famous "Tea House Melee".
