(In the previous chapter, the bug about Li Yuan has been corrected. If you are interested, you can look back. If you are not interested, it will not affect you if you continue reading.)
Behind Empress Changsun were Kong Yingda, Yu Zhining, and two old gentlemen from the Imperial College. Wang Zian had some impression of them. One was named Wang and the other was Song. They seemed to be editors at Nature Magazine.
At this time, these two old gentlemen were in high spirits, as if they had just married their wives.
"Little friend Zian, I am a young man who has been granted the title of Marquis. I have a bright future. I am very happy and congratulated——"
Wang Zi'an had just finished watching the excitement, and before he returned to the kitchen, he saw four old gentlemen coming together.
"Thank you for the kindness of my seniors. It's just that I don't want to be granted the title of marquis. I hope the sea will be peaceful. Fame, fortune, glory, and wealth are nothing but passing smoke to me..."
Wang Zi'an smiled humbly and returned the favor.
This is not the first time I have dealt with these old gentlemen. I have figured out some tricks to deal with them.
Don't talk about money, don't talk about feelings, talk about character, talk about ideals. These people have spent most of their lives in the Imperial College and have not made any name for themselves. When they get old, they will only have this little thing left to talk about. .
Especially recently, with the newly established Datang Nature Magazine, this group of old men who were originally salty fish have been given a second life as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood.
Preaching scriptures and preaching, leaving a name in history, the ideal can be expected.
"It's not my intention to be granted the title of Marquis. I hope Haibo will be peaceful - haha, little friend Zian, you are indeed a member of my generation -"
The four old men thought about it secretly in their hearts.
Everyone twirled their beards and nodded repeatedly. Looking at Wang Zi'an's little eyes, it was like seeing an old friend and close friend.
Sure enough, the routine is right.
Wang Zi'an had a smile on his face and complained in his heart.
However, my family knows my own affairs, and a commoner like me who yearns for the decadent life in feudal society is not the same person as this old man.
But, ahem - we can be people walking on the same road.
Li Yuan led Xiao Sizi back to the house.
Looking at the entrance to the hall that had become empty again, Li Shimin, Empress Changsun, Cheng Yaojin and others couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and actually felt like they were surviving a disaster.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, before he could turn around, he heard the polite greetings from Wang Zi'an and Kong Yingda.
His Majesty is as lucky as no one else!
One wave comes after another.
People like Fang Xuanling and Cheng Yaojin were speechless, while Li Shimin and his wife had heads as big as buckets.
But what else can be done?
Fortunately it was Kong Yingda and Yu Zhining!
If you have cooperated with this before, don’t be afraid.
Li Shimin coughed dryly and turned around.
His Majesty!
When they saw Li Shimin's outfit and his sleeves rolled up, Kong Yingda and Yu Zhining immediately understood.
Got it, keep hiding it!
Therefore, without waiting for the two old partners behind him to speak, he took a step forward and spoke first.
"Shopkeeper Li——"
Lao Song and Lao Wang:...
The two people who were about to greet him were stunned for a moment. When it reached His Majesty's mouth, he swallowed it back.
What kind of trouble are you making——
However, although the two of them did not know how to work in the camp, they had been in the Imperial College for most of their lives, and they still had sharp eyesight. They straightened their backs immediately, followed the example of Kong Yingda and Yu Zhining, and simply bowed their hands.
"I've seen Kong Jijiu, Yu Zhanshi and two gentlemen——"
Seeing them continuing to act in a serious manner, the prince watched happily for a while, then turned and went back to the kitchen.
"You guys chat slowly, I'll cook first -"
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Shimin quickly pulled Kong Yingda and Yu Zhining aside and whispered instructions.
The Emperor is also here!
Kong Yingda, Yu Zhining and others suddenly took a breath of cold air and subconsciously glanced at the main room door.
Forget it, just stay outside. If you get inside, you won’t be able to tell!
As soon as Kong Yingda and others were comforted, Mrs. Li personally brought Li Siwen to the door to congratulate them.
Then, there are people like Cheng Chumo, Cheng Chuliang, Qin Huaiyu, Oxford and Fang Yiai.
What a joyful event it is for your master to be granted the title of Marquis.
How could it not be possible?
Only then did Li Shimin realize that he had underestimated the influence of Prince An Fenghou.
Although it was good that Wang Zi'an didn't have any contacts with dignitaries like Chang'an, he was still a young and weak prince.
These people who came have some social relations with Zian, and I am afraid that later, those who have no social relations will also come.
He really wanted to run away.
But we just agreed to stay for dinner, so it’s not appropriate to leave now, not to mention...
He couldn't help but look deeply at the same hall. Through the glass window, he could vaguely see the figure of his old father.
Listening to the silver bell-like laughter of the little Sizi in the main room, and the old and doting voice of my father.
Li Shimin's expression changed several times and he sighed secretly.
He waved to Li Junxian calmly and gave a few instructions in a low voice.
Li Junxian nodded repeatedly and saw that Wang Zi'an was cooking in the kitchen and didn't pay attention to what was going on here, so he walked out quickly.
Guests who come to congratulate must be intercepted.
Otherwise, I might not be able to deal with what happened today——
Looking at Wang Zi'an who was busy in the kitchen, Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh silently.
When you are poor in the busy city, no one cares about you; when you are rich in the mountains, you have distant relatives.
Li Shimin's expectation was good. There would be more than one wave of guests coming to Wang Zi'an today?
But without exception, they were intercepted by a group of forbidden troops before they reached the east of Wangzi'an City.
Want to congratulate?
Okay, let’s talk about it after the Marquis of Chang’an moves.
Why?
Because His Majesty and the Queen are here, no one else can stay away!
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath and went home without saying a word.
It is not unusual for a young and handsome man to be granted the title of Marquis for his merits, so it is not unusual for His Majesty to go there in person, but the Queen and the Queen are also going with him, so what's the point?
This grace is from heaven.
I have decided that next time I go, I must prepare a generous gift, a generous gift!
Wang Zi'an didn't know that his guest was intercepted and turned away without even entering his own house. Of course, he didn't know that he had become a favorite in Chang'an City.
All he knew was that there were a lot of guests here today, and the food at home seemed not enough.
After thinking for a while, he put down the stir-fried ladle in his hand and walked towards Cheng Chumo, Cheng Chuliang, Li Siwen and others who were huddled in a corner of the courtyard with a smile, not daring to breathe.
"Here, let me give you an errand——"
When the young brothers heard this, they immediately became energetic.
There is nothing better than sitting under the noses of your father and the emperor.
Because since I came here, I have been listening to these big guys lecture me and making fun of myself. The key is, you can only listen, you can’t be stubborn...
"Brother-in-law, you said, promise to complete the task——"
Looking at these guys who were so excited and wanted to fly out of the small courtyard, Wang Zi'an couldn't help but secretly sympathized with them. It was so miserable. Just at this moment, he saw these little brothers being kicked several times. My feet are broken——
The key is, you don't dare to fight back even if you are replaced.
"You guys go to the city and ask them to bring some wine and food -"
Wang Zi'an said, looking back at Li Xiaogong with a smile.
"By the way, Your Majesty, where are our restaurants—"
Li Xiaogong:......
Don't tell me about it!
Ever since we agreed to open a restaurant together last time, I've been waiting with great anticipation. As a result, until now, you haven't even been to the restaurant once.
This is unreliable!
"They all know the place - but please tell me when you can go over and teach them some dishes - if that doesn't work, you can help me train the cooks at my house... "
Li Xiaogong was full of resentment when he mentioned this.
Ever since I ate the food from Wang Zi'an, everything I ate at home didn't taste good, and I couldn't live that life. Therefore, as soon as I heard that I was going to convey the imperial edict to Wang Zi'an today, I took over the task without saying a word.
Just kidding, how could you miss this opportunity to eat and drink?
When Wang Zi'an heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.
Don't tell me, I really forgot about it.
"Okay, these are all small things - take the time..."
What a waste of time.
Li Xiaogong secretly made up his mind to make arrangements when he got home, hoping that this brat would never know when he would be able to eat such delicacies in the world.
Cheng Chumo, Li Siwen and others rushed out to order food and drinks.
As for the food and wine outside, it's not as delicious as Wang Zi'an's. Does this matter to him?
As long as I don't live under the noses of my father and His Majesty, I will be extremely happy.
ps: It’s a little lame, that’s it for today. Will add more tomorrow.
