Seeing that Li Shimin was almost losing his temper, Wang Zi'an couldn't help but frown.
You thief, aren't you setting me on fire?
Do I have no idea about my own level?
A scumbag from the Tang Dynasty who can't even read classical Chinese, you want me to compile a dictionary?
Believe it or not, I will give you a set. I can't compile a dictionary, so I can only rebel?
Wang Zi'an murmured silently, nodded, and reluctantly agreed.
Since I can’t refuse anyway, what else can I do?
However, I made up my mind to just show up and not work, go as little as possible, or even not participate, in order to check their pinyin.
It’s not that I’m lazy, it’s that I really don’t know how to do it.
Wang Zi'an was also helpless.
Seeing that Wang Zi'an finally agreed, a group of old men felt inexplicably relieved.
The most important thing is to establish virtue, then there is meritorious service, and next there is to establish words. Even if it lasts for a long time, this is called immortality.
At their age and status, who wouldn't want to think about immortality?
But it is really difficult to talk about establishing moral character, especially if you want to establish your own moral character to the point where your reputation will be immortal. It is almost impossible to establish public morality by relying solely on private virtue. They do want to, but they have to have that opportunity.
This is what it means to make a meritorious service, so they value this promise much more than Wang Zi'an imagined.
Who wouldn’t want to participate in the compilation of a dictionary, an event that benefits generations and will be remembered for centuries?
"However, I have something to say first. For such a big thing, I can't be of much help. I can only give you a side drum. If you have any problems with pronunciation and spelling, you can help me. Don't look for other explanations, examples, etc. Me, my knowledge is shallow and I can’t do it..."
Are you knowledgeable?
Everyone automatically ignored his shameless remarks.
Of course, Li Shimin also automatically filtered him. He can't do anything. This piece of shit has an unchangeable nature. In a word, he is lazy!
However, seeing that Wang Zi'an was as lazy as ever and didn't care about the fame and wealth as always. He was just greedy for money and lust, looking for delicious food and caring about his leisurely and prosperous little life, just like the helpless Adou, he felt in his heart Somehow relaxed.
This is actually quite good.
The thought flashed through his mind and was quickly blocked by him.
Damn it, this bitch should honestly give me advice and advice, and it's better to be unpaid!
"Okay, then it's settled. Well, as for Zian, do you think when is the best time to start? What the old gentlemen mean is that the sooner the better, what do you think..."
When did I become so awesome that you even depend on me for this kind of thing?
Wang Zi'an vomited in his heart, but soon understood what this guy meant.
This is a roundabout way of asking myself, when will I start teaching these old men Pinyin?
You all came to my door and asked me hypocritically——
He was amused in his heart, but he nodded obediently.
"It doesn't matter to me here - I can't do this kind of work anyway, so let's take advantage of my free time today and I'll send someone a few Chinese textbooks later and ask some old gentlemen to correct me..."
When Li Shimin heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.
This bitch finally had a look.
Just now he was worried about how to speak to the prince.
Although this bitch is usually very generous and doesn't care about anything. He is happy, don't just give away rare treasures, just like money is not money, but once it involves business or imparting knowledge, he will immediately Incarnate and die for money.
If the apprenticeship ceremony is not strong enough, you can't even hope to learn anything real.
Now, I have brought so many people to learn Pinyin, but this piece of shit has not done anything wrong.
Just agreed so happily?
While he was happy, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart. Could this bitch have another trap waiting for him to jump into?
Thinking of this, he asked a little uneasily.
"That's it? No other conditions?"
Wang Zi’an:……
Do you have Stockholm Syndrome?
Wang Zi'an raised his eyebrows sideways and looked at him with a playful expression.
"Then how about you pay some tuition?"
"No, no, no - I don't mean that, this is fine, fine..."
When Li Shimin heard this, he quickly shook his head like a rattle.
Are you kidding me?
I have no money!
No money!
Wang Zi'an spread his hands helplessly.
"Isn't that enough? If you don't have money, why are you talking about it?"
Li Shimin:...
I'm so mean-mouthed!
Wang Zi'an and Li Shimin are joking here, but the problem is that they are not the two of them now.
A group of old men were listening around. Although some old men were a little hard of hearing, most of them were not.
Especially Li Gang, his ears are so good!
Although it could be heard that Wang Zi'an was teasing Li Shimin, he was still slightly embarrassed. After all, these people came here for nothing. They wanted to learn from others. Not only did they not bring any gifts, but they also wanted to eat from others...
It's not that they haven't thought about this problem. The problem is that it always feels a bit inappropriate for a group of old guys like themselves to take the initiative to visit a young man and even take the initiative to bring gifts.
Mainly, Li Shimin also felt it was inappropriate.
It's not that he or this group of old men are short of money for gifts, but that it is unreasonable for the elders to visit the younger ones, and bringing gifts is a bit exaggerated. It's not a matter of face for the old men, but the impact on Wang Zi'an. It's not good.
This kind of thing is easy to say or not, but if it gets out, it is tantamount to putting the prince on the fire.
Furthermore, these old gentlemen may take it lightly and think it is no big deal, but their disciples, former officials, and younger generations of the family may not think so, and other scholars in the world may not think so either.
They are all great Confucian scholars of a generation with many peaches and plums all over the world. They exist like Mount Tai and Beidou in the Tang Dynasty today.
Let them visit you young man with gifts?
Don’t you know that the sky is high and the earth is high?
"Ahem, Marquis of Chang'an, this time I and others came abruptly. I saw that you are as rich as the country and don't need anything. I and others have nothing to offer you these days. …”
Li Gang clapped his hands crisply.
"We old guys are here to ask you for pinyin advice. We can't use your junior's things in vain. Look at what the shortcomings are. Just say, I and others are a lot older. Nothing else. How much face do you have? There are still a few points. As long as I can do it, I will never refuse..."
As soon as Li Gang, the big brother, said this, other old men also nodded.
Wang Zian couldn't help but feel slightly embarrassed.
Ah, this——
I really don’t want anything from you this time!
"This - cough, this junior is just joking with Shopkeeper Li, forget it, forget it -"
Wang Zi'an quickly declined.
Forget about tricking people like Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji, I really can't help but trick such a group of old men who are obsessed with learning.
"No matter what!"
Li Gang became angry as soon as he heard this.
"Why, do you think we bad old men are all freeloaders? Just say it with confidence -"
"Yes, just say-"
"Just say—"
As soon as Li Gang said this, other old men also agreed.
To be honest, buying something from a child like this for free is indeed a bit pricey.
The main thing is that the words have been spoken, and if we don't show up, we can't afford to lose that person!
Seeing them all scrambling to get Wang Zi'an to speak, Li Yuan, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others couldn't help but cover their faces with their hands.
I have never seen it delivered on a pole like this.
Do you know how evil this thief Wang Zi'an is?
Wang Zi’an:……
Ah, this——
It's very difficult for me to do this.
Tell me, what can I do for you old men who want to be supported when walking?
You guys will do something more——
Thinking of this, his heart suddenly moved, and he felt blessed, and a shy and harmless smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"This-isn't this bad?"
Seeing Wang Zi'an hesitating, Li Gang and others immediately felt good about him. What a simple and good boy!
"There's nothing wrong with it, just say it, it's okay——"
Li Gang patted Wang Zi'an on the shoulder with encouragement.
Wang Zi'an reluctantly spoke this time with some embarrassment.
"Junior is planning to open a new type of school here. We are in urgent need of a few gentlemen. It would be best if a few old gentlemen could come over to help us - ah, forget it if it is inconvenient. I didn't say that..."
Having said this, he rubbed his hands a little uneasily.
"It's the juniors who are being arrogant. All the seniors are all knowledgeable scholars of the time. How can you do such a trivial matter of educating children..."
Several old men who were still hesitant at first became embarrassed when Wang Zi'an said this.
"What did the Marquis of Chang'an say? What can you and cannot do? Besides, what you do is to educate the people and educate talents for the country. I and others should do their part!"
Li Gang didn't say anything, he patted his chest and agreed on the spot.
The oldest and most respected big brother nodded. Who else had the nerve to say no?
What's going on?
Are you more famous than big brother Li Gang?
Or do you feel that doing such a good thing as national education is not worthy of you?
Ah, this——
Everyone was so enthusiastic that even Wang Zi'an was a little embarrassed to refuse.
"Then I would be disrespectful to you, my juniors. On behalf of those students, I would like to thank all the seniors for your kindness!"
Wang Zi'an couldn't help but smile.
At that time, I was thinking about setting up a small school, but when the children entered the school yesterday, I realized that teaching children is really terrible.
There was a lot of chaos!
When I called this one to stop, that one ran away again. I wanted to go up and slap each one in the face.
Moreover, the worst thing is that these naughty children are taken care of by themselves. Isn’t this a lie?
With these bitches around, let alone my leisurely little life, I would be too busy working as a nanny. Therefore, when school was over yesterday, I gave them the annual leave directly, and I was thinking about taking advantage of the Chinese New Year to find a few more reliable teachers.
As a result, the old gentlemen came enthusiastically.
You say, this is a coincidence, isn’t it?
At this time, these old men still don’t know what kind of students they are about to face, and they are still feeling happy about completing this transaction perfectly.
They never expected that the Marquis of Chang'an would only ask them to be their teachers for a few days.
What a simple and good boy!
This is not asking me to wait for others to do things. This is clearly giving old men like myself a step down.
In an instant, his affection for Wang Zi'an greatly increased.
The look he looked at Wang Zi'an was almost the same as the look he looked at his grandson.
Everyone is happy!
At noon that day, everyone enjoyed an unprecedented delicious meal at Wang Zi'an's house, and then studied Chinese Pinyin with Chinese textbooks all afternoon.
Although these old men are old, they are very capable of learning, focused and serious.
Once you memorize the pinyin and spelling rules, you will get started quickly.
They are countless times stronger than those naughty kids yesterday.
After learning Pinyin, everyone couldn't help but feel that their trip was worthwhile.
There is no way, this Pinyin spelling method is much more convenient than the original Zhiyin method and Fanqie method. When Li Shimin and Du Ruhui told them, they still had some doubts in their hearts, but now the last trace of doubts has completely disappeared.
They know that the dictionary they are about to participate in compiling will definitely be a product of a pioneering era.
What an honor it is to be a part of it!
Before leaving, he quietly checked the recipes of flowers, herbs and medicinal wine hidden in his arms, and then left with satisfaction.
Well, I don’t mean anything else. The main reason is that we are loyal people and cannot let down the trust of our friends.
After sending everyone away, Wang Zi'an was about to go back when he saw Li Shimin sneaking back quietly.
"What did you drop?"
Wang Zi'an was a little puzzled.
Then, Li Shimin coughed dryly with a slightly unnatural expression.
"Ahem, that recipe you mentioned last time - I remembered it, I think I can give it to my friend..."
Wang Zi'an didn't think about it for a moment and looked at him in shock.
"What recipe?"
"That's it, that one, that warm one..."
Prince An suddenly realized.
"Oh, I see!"
Wang Zi'an patted his shoulder with a half-smile.
"wait a sec--"
After saying that, he went back to the room, picked up the brush, and wrote down a prescription for him.
Blow dry, fold it up and give it to Li Shimin.
"Actually, for this kind of problem, the most important thing is to exercise moderation and exercise. Just relying on pills won't work. I'm not talking about you - I'm not talking about you, my friend. Don't you know what your body is like?"
Li Shimin:...
"Okay, I'd like to advise you to find a friend later. Don't bother yourself every day. Otherwise, if there is a complete strike, I won't be able to save you here - friend..."
Li Shimin couldn't help but sweat in his heart, took the prescription in his hand, and walked away in a hurry.
When I walked to the gate, I was almost bumped into by another figure coming in a hurry. Li Shimin looked up and saw, ah, isn't this his servant Du Ruhui?
"Keming, what are you doing?"
Li Shimin looked at Du Ruhui with some confusion.
Du Ruhui's eyes subconsciously dodge.
"Ahem, Wei Chen seems to have forgotten something just now, so he came back to look for it - Your Majesty, why are you back?"
Seeing Du Ruhui asking directly, Li Shimin, who was still a little confused, wanted to find out something. At this time, he no longer cared about being curious about Du Ruhui, and coughed in embarrassment.
"Ahem, I forgot to tell Zian about something small, so I'll leave now——"
After saying that, he hurried away without looking back.
What a mistake.
Unexpectedly, Keming is back too!
But why is he back?
"Du Pushe, this is-"
Wang Zi'an also looked at the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty with curiosity.
"Ahem, I forgot to ask one more question just now. My friend has just recovered from a serious illness. Can these two prescriptions be used?"
Wang Zi'an suddenly realized.
"It works, it works. As long as you are weak, you can use it. Remember not to let your friend drink too much..."
Du Ruhui thanked him repeatedly.
Seeing that he still refused to leave, Wang Zian couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart.
This guy can't...
"Ahem, Marquis of Chang'an, if you don't know the recipe yesterday, why don't you let me copy it? This - I can give it to my friend together..."
Speaking of this, his expression was slightly unnatural.
"If it's inconvenient, forget it, I'm actually not very familiar with him..."
Wang Zi’an:……
Come on!
clear!
With a stroke of his pen, he copied another copy of the recipe to Du Ruhui. However, because Du Ruhui had just recovered from his serious illness, the recipe was slightly adjusted according to his condition.
Du Ruhui quickly stuffed it into his arms, scrawled a few words, and left.
Then, there was Fang Xuanling, and then Changsun Wuji.
The reasons are much the same.
With one stroke of his pen, Wang Zi'an got one for each person.
Seeing several people, like a revolving lantern, coming and going one by one, Miss Su Su was very curious, so she came over and blinked her beautiful big eyes and asked.
"Husband, what prescription did they ask for just now?"
Wang Zi'an raised his fingers at her with a strange look in his eyes. When she came to his side, he stretched out his hand and hugged her.
"We might as well go back to our room and discuss this issue in detail..."
Ah, I'm going to die for most of the day!
Miss Su Su suddenly blushed and wanted to escape from his arms without saying a word.
But with so little effort, how could she escape successfully?
In the end, he had no choice but to plunge into Wang Zi'an's arms and pretend to be dead.
Anyway, I don’t know anything.
Me, I fell asleep!
…
Miss Su Su, I don’t know whether she is asleep or not, but Li Tai is really not asleep.
At this time, he was lying on his bed sickly, looking at the guards who came to report with cold eyes.
"Has the matter been cleared up?"
"Go back, your highness, we've found out-"
The guard felt cold in his heart when Li Tai stared at him, lowered his head and spoke carefully.
"There is definite information to prove that before His Majesty sent an order for His Highness to rush to Yangzhou for official duties, he had gone there..."
At this point, the guard hesitated.
Li Tai's face was as gloomy as iron.
"Tell me where you went!"
The guard's clothes were wet with sweat, he took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
"His Majesty once took his servant She and Qi Guogong to the Chang'an Marquis Mansion. After returning that afternoon, a decree came from the palace for His Majesty to rush to Yangzhou..."
"Wang - Zi - An -"
Li Tai spoke every word, with a trace of deep resentment flashing in his eyes.
Subconsciously, the young man with a handsome face flashed in his mind, holding a big porcelain bowl and eating from a street stall with a smile.
That young man who even Li Chunfeng thought was unfathomable.
The young man who missed him because of his misjudgment.
He couldn't help but close his eyes tightly, and asked himself countless times in his heart, if he had ignored the attitudes of those aristocratic families and took the initiative to befriend this Wang Zian, would it have been a different outcome?
But there is no if!
The young man who he had never really seen in his eyes still came to his opposite side and gave himself a hard blow.
He could almost conclude now that Wang Zi'an must have bewitched his father.
Otherwise, it would be unreasonable. He had just issued an order to praise his father, and after taking a trip from the thief Wang Zi'an, he immediately changed his mind and forcefully forced himself to rush to Yangzhou to be an official, without leaving any room for him.
Without Li Tai's instructions, the guard did not dare to go down. He could only lower his head and wait there fearfully.
It took him a long time to hear Li Tai's voice that seemed to have calmed down.
"Okay, you go down first - let people keep an eye on the Chang'an Marquis Mansion. If anything happens, come and report it immediately..."
The guard immediately ran out as if he had been pardoned.
Although Li Tai was weak, his face had regained its composure, his eyes were deep, and he could not see much happiness or anger.
"Brother Cui, prepare a generous gift and go to the Marquis of Chang'an for me..."
When Cui Xiangzhi heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Your Highness?"
He couldn't figure out what Li Tai was thinking at this time.
Li Tai's tone was very calm, with a hint of coldness in it.
"Nothing, just to express my kindness..."
Cui Xiangzhi's eyes flickered, and he instantly understood what Li Tai was thinking. He responded in a deep voice and went down to prepare.
Nowadays, the Marquis of Chang'an's position with His Majesty is so popular that he can even interfere with the crown prince's dethronement. If you can win them over, it's natural to win them over. If you really can't win them over, then you have to think of another way!
