"If it were his son who was handling this matter, he would have ordered Master Li to apologize to the British Duke. It was indeed Lu Wenrong who was wrong at first, but Master Li's behavior went too far and did not teach Lu Wenrong enough, so he actually dragged the British Duke into it. Li Adults shouldn’t be like this.”
Sheng Changang answered smoothly, obviously he had thought about this matter for a long time.
Sheng Hong smiled when he heard this.
"Ang'er." He said and stood up from behind the imperial case: "Who is Li Qiao?"
"... Mr. Li is the number one scholar in the new department."
Sheng Changang was stunned, but answered honestly.
"Answer in more detail." Sheng Hong said as he walked around the hall with his hands behind his back.
Sheng Changang: "..."
After a moment of silence, he said: "Father, my son knows that Master Li is a proud man of heaven, but he should not blame the British Duke. The British Duke's contribution to Dasheng cannot be compared to Master Li."
"You are right. Li Qiao's contribution cannot be compared with that of the old prince. But it is also true that Li Qiao has accumulated a lot of merit at a young age. In my father's case, both parties are heroes, and more importantly, Li Qiao has already accumulated a lot of merit. He has a sense of pride."
"He is usually kind to others, but this does not mean that he has no blood and backbone."
"If he didn't resist when someone pointed his nose at him and scolded him as an eunuch and cut off his descendants, his father would look down on him. Young people should be aggressive. Moreover, he is a rookie in Dasheng's officialdom and is the future of Dasheng. Dongliang, if he is just a tortoise, what tasks will he be able to take on in the future? Will my father still dare to reuse him?"
Sheng Hong explained patiently.
"...Does the father know what he did today? He hung a wooden sign recruiting nursing staff at the door of his shop. He suspected that the British government would retaliate against him. This was a villain's speculation about the superiors. "This is offensive. Didn't you say you can't stir up disputes again?"
"Then will the British government take revenge on him?"
Sheng Hong stopped and turned to look at his fifth son, his tone and expression calm.
Sheng Changang: "...Of course not."
"Did his wooden sign mention the old Duke?" Sheng Hong asked again.
"……No."
Sheng Changang shook his head.
"Then your behavior is called speculation." Sheng Hong said and frowned: "This matter has been concluded, you don't need to say more. Go down."
Sheng Changang: "..."
He opened his mouth, but looking at Sheng Hong's frown, he did not dare to say anything more. He saluted Sheng Hong again, took a few steps back, then turned and left the Qixian Hall.
Sheng Hong stared at his back and frowned even more.
There was also a layer of haze in his eyes.
However, thinking of Li Qiao's provocation today, his eyebrows moved and his frown relaxed a lot.
This Li Qiao would really do anything for his husband.
It’s good to be affectionate and righteous, and to be grateful.
Having weaknesses is even better.
Turning to look at Qian San, he ordered: "Li Qiao's husband was frightened yesterday. Find an imperial doctor to go to Li's house and take a look."
"You also make another trip to deliver some medicinal materials. There is no need to come back in a hurry. Just drink the tea you didn't drink in the morning before leaving."
When Qian San heard this, he quickly responded with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty is so considerate, Mr. Li will definitely be grateful."
When Sheng Hong saw this, he let out a laugh: "You are so happy, but Li Qiao is indeed generous."
"Master Xiao Li can make money, that's why he has such courage." Qian San said with a smile.
He will tell Sheng Hong whose money he has collected.
The same is true today, hence Sheng Hong's words.
"Yes, young people like him are indeed rare."
The more Sheng Hong thought about it, the happier he became.
He really found a treasure.
The bad mood caused by the fifth prince was swept away, and he added: "Today's side dishes are those from the Li family."
The royal chefs know how to cook the delicacies made by the Li family.
He advertised Li Qiao.

The author has something to say:
What gender do you guys like your baby to be?
Chapter 124 Return to Shenghong Cream Cake
Qian came back three times, and this time he also brought medicinal materials rewarded by the Holy Spirit, which surprised Li Qiao.
Your Majesty, you don't want to see the British Duke so much, you actually slapped the British Duke again.
He couldn't help but feel amusement in his heart as he imagined the dark faces of the British government, including the fifth prince.
Deserve it!
Relying on his achievements back then, he was so unscrupulous. What kind of emperor could tolerate it?
The father and son of the Sheng family did not have Asuka Jinliang Gongzang after the establishment of Dasheng. This is already very humane.
The father and son of the Sheng family know their kindness, so ministers should always remember their identity. This is such a simple truth, but unfortunately, no one in the British government understands it.
With this sigh in his heart, Li Qiao took out the best tea leaves in his house and let Manager Qian drink the cup of tea that he didn't have time to drink in the morning.
Of course, before leaving, he still gave Qian San a hundred-tael silver note. As Qian San, he made two trips to his house in one day, which was really hard work.
After seeing off Qian San, it was already the usual off-duty time. Xu Yingzhuang, Wen Mengyue and Xin Zhi all came over.
Among them, Xin Zhi was the most well-informed and had known about it last night, but it was getting late at that time and he couldn't come to bother him. He could only suppress his shock and wonder and endure it until he got off work.
Li Qiao's luck is so good. God is so blessed by him. There are rumors about infertility. What man can bear this? How to clarify this?
result!
Lu Wenrong bumped into him, and Mr. Li Qiao was diagnosed on the spot to be three months pregnant!
This way of refuting rumors, God really loves him.
If Tao Zhu gets pregnant a month later, there will definitely be ugly rumors. After all, there are many people in Shengjing who harbor ill intentions towards Li Qiao.
It just happened to be such a coincidence, just such a coincidence!
Why wasn't he amazed?
Xu Yingzhuang, Wen and Meng Yue were young officials and had few ways to know the news. They only found out about it after going to work today. It was so dangerous. Fortunately, the Holy Spirit was on Li Qiao's side!
Moreover, Tao Zhu is pregnant, what a happy event!
People all over the yard were saying congratulations. Li Qiao had received so many blessings, and the mood that was frightened by Tao Zhu yesterday finally recovered.
Hehe, his brother Zhu is pregnant~
The first day of pregnancy passed in a lively atmosphere.
After washing up at night and lying on the bed, Li Qiao wiped Tao Zhu's hair and said, "There are so many people today, it feels like I have returned to Sanliu Village."
Hearing this, Tao Zhu nodded heavily, no, this atmosphere was too similar to Sanliu Village.
"In the past two days, we have taken some time to write letters to my brothers and sisters-in-law to tell them the good news."
"Okay." Li Qiao also had this intention.
It just so happened that the Han family's caravan was about to return to Beijing. I asked the Han family's caravan to take the letter with it when they returned to Pingcheng. Then Li Liang and others would definitely receive it during the Chinese New Year.
The next day, because they were sure that Tao Zhu's health was fine and the roads in Shengjing were all cobbled and not bumpy, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu hitched an ox cart and sent a greeting card to the Seventh Prince's Mansion.
Regarding Tao Zhu's health, this is the most important thing.
After coming out of the Seventh Prince's Mansion, Li Qiao sat in a bullock cart and asked Tao Zhu, "Is there anything you want to eat? Let's buy it and go back."
Tao Zhu hummed, thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I wanted to eat soft bread yesterday, but I don't want to eat it today."
"Is there nothing you particularly want to eat now?" Li Qiao asked.
"No." Tao Zhu shook his head.
They say that a sour son is a hot girl, and this son refers not only to the son, but also to the little brother, but the key point is that he really doesn't want to eat anything in particular today.
Li Qiao looked at his appearance and slightly raised his eyebrows. Brother Zhu's appetite is not very good!
Thinking about it, although Shengjing is a prosperous capital, the material resources at this time are not as rich as in his previous life, and it is trapped in inconvenient transportation, and specialties from other places cannot be transported in.
Before the apocalypse came in my previous life, all kinds of Internet celebrity snacks were popping up in endlessly. But here, those are the only things that can be eaten here and there. It’s normal for Brother Zhu to get tired of them.
"How about we go to some major restaurants? Whether it's civilian dishes or delicacies, you can decide which ones you want to eat."
"...Okay." Tao Zhu changed his mind.
In fact, he is not very able to get the wonderful features of those delicacies, but Li Qiao attaches so much importance to them, so he will try them.
After going to two restaurants, Tao Zhu ordered a few dishes. Of course they were delicious, but he had no idea of coming back again.
After coming out of the restaurant and getting on the bullock cart, he couldn't help but sigh: "Before marrying you, I never thought about this situation. I was asked to choose from all the delicious food in Shengjing, but I was too lazy to choose."
Hearing this, Li Qiao pinched his cheek and said with a smile, "Then I'll think about it when I go back and see if I can make some new food."
"Don't bother me. It's rare for you to ask for leave. Take some rest."
Li Qiao went to the Hanlin Academy to take a rest every seven days. He always felt that the day of rest went by very fast. He didn't even do anything, and it was gone in one day.
"Just stay with me." Tao Zhu grabbed his big hand and interlocked with his fingers.
"The two of us were thinking about it together in the kitchen. You are pregnant and you need to eat and drink well." Li Qiao insisted.
Of course, by the way, it will increase the income of the Royal Dessert Shop.
In order to protect him this time, Sheng Hong slapped the British public twice, so he would definitely repay Sheng Hong.
He wanted to make a real cake.
