Tang Sufan led Li Shimin and others through several alleys and went out from Yanxing Gate. Under Li Shimin's suspicious eyes, they walked towards a village in Dongcheng District near Huadunfang.
"Boss Tang, do you live here?" Cheng Yaojin asked in a voice that sounded like a cannon.
Although Dongcheng District is home to many officials and dignitaries, the area outside Dongcheng District is just the residence of ordinary people. To put it bluntly, it is a village on the edge of the city.
Tang Sufan glanced at it and replied: "Yes, what's wrong?"
"You live here, and you bet ten thousand guan against each other. Are you pretending?"
Tang Sufan was noncommittal, and even replied with an arrogant expression like "I don't like money, I have never seen money": "Tsk, I live in a remote place, but it doesn't affect my wealth. Look at where the emperor lives. Is that big? He lives with his belt tightened all day long. I heard that his wife, a queen, doesn’t even have a few new clothes~"
puff!
Li Shimin's face froze, and he instantly felt a knife piercing his heart.
Fang Xuanling and Cheng Yaojin were also speechless. Although it was right that the emperor had no money, it was wrong for you to ridicule him so openly.
Li Shimin wanted to say something, but couldn't. Is it so shabby? What I call hard work for the people, what does it mean to have few new clothes? My queen’s call is diligence, frugality and virtue!
Several guards looked at their noses and minds, lowering their heads and not daring to speak. We just need to protect His Majesty's safety. We should just pretend to be deaf when people talk about whatever they say.
"Ahem, be careful what you say! Be careful what you say! Little Tang." Fang Xuanling quickly winked at Tang Sufan and said.
Tang Sufan pretended not to see it, and even complained in his heart, are all Chang'an people so afraid of Li Er? Even talking about it is not allowed. After all, it is the capital of Chang'an. Li Er, the dog emperor, has done a good job in ideological education~
"Oh, Xiao Fanfan, you are finally back. Did you commit something?"
Just when a few people were about to arrive at Tang Sufan's residence, a middle-aged woman saw Tang Sufan's figure, shouted in a loud voice, and ran over quickly.
When Tang Sufan heard this name, his face darkened as usual, but he couldn't help it. When he was a child, the neighbors liked to call him this because he was cute and delicate. After he grew up, they still called him this... …
"Oh Aunt Wang, you told me that I'm so old, just call me Su Fan."
"Okay, Xiao Fanfan."
This made Li Shimin, who looked worried, happy, you piece of shit, you must have made a fool of yourself.
Tang Sufan raised his forehead and was very speechless. What a shame, but he couldn't really say anything.
After all, the villagers or neighbors here are very kind to me. Not only did I grow up here when I was a child, but there were also many people who came to see me, the son of an old friend, on the day I came back. These people can also be said to be his elders.
Aunt Wang grabbed Tang Sufan's hand and pulled it aside, glanced at Li Shimin with fear, and then whispered.
"Xiao Fanfan, your old Uncle Shuan ran back from his stall and said that you were being chased by several people on the street. He came back in a hurry and asked people to help so that you wouldn't be bullied. Tell Aunt Wang that you are Didn't you cause some trouble?"
Tang Sufan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Uncle Shuan worked hard enough to abandon the stall, and at the same time he felt warm in his heart.
Because in them, Tang Sufan really found the feeling of being a fellow villager in his previous life when he was a child.
And it's more plain and simple.
"Don't worry, Aunt Wang. It's just a misunderstanding. It's okay. These guys came back with me just to have a meal."
Aunt Wang glanced at Li Shimin suspiciously again, especially when Cheng Yaojin's face looked as fierce as if he wanted to eat someone. She felt uneasy and asked: "Is everything okay? Don't lie to you, Aunt Wang. Ah, don’t worry, the folks will help you, your Uncle Shuan has already sent for help.”
Tang Sufan, a boy, grew up watching the villagers around him when he was a child.
Because Tang Sufan's parents were also wealthy businessmen, many people around him had received favors from his parents, and his parents were also well-known good people.
Moreover, even after Tang Sufan got rich, he did not look down on the villagers around him. He often helped the villagers. If Tang Sufan was bullied for no apparent reason, they would never agree.
"Don't worry, Aunt Wang."
Then Tang Sufan leaned into Aunt Wang's ear and whispered: "Did you see the man in the white brocade robe? Maybe he is my future father-in-law..."
When Tang Sufan said this, Aunt Wang understood immediately. It turned out that this boy was probably caught teasing someone's daughter, and they came to her door~
She also knew what this boy was thinking. He thought about whether he could get a good wife all day long. The villagers around him also showed him, but none of the boys liked him. She didn't expect that he would find the right one.
After all, Xiao Fanfan now has a rich family and is very handsome. Naturally, he can't look down on those ordinary country girls.
"Is everything okay?"
Tang Sufan had to emphasize again: "It's okay! I'll take them back for a meal. Aunt Wang, you're just in time. Help me tell Uncle Shuan that there's nothing wrong here. Let him go back and take care of the stall quickly. "
Now that everything was fine, Aunt Wang returned to her usual smiling appearance and said in a loud voice: "Okay, okay, I'll go and talk about it right now. You can take your father-in-law back for dinner."
So, Aunt Wang trotted away, showing her true nature.
Li Shimin naturally heard this sentence about father-in-law, and his face turned dark as if he understood what the little thief had just whispered.
Seeing Aunt Wang trotting along, Tang Sufan, who couldn't laugh or cry, couldn't help shouting from behind: "Aunt Wang, slow down, don't fall..."
Then he turned to Li Shimin and the others and said, "Come on, everyone, you will reach my house just around the corner."
Li Shimin didn't bother to care about his father-in-law's words, and instead said: "You are quite popular..."
"Hey, my parents came to Chang'an to settle down and settle down in Chang'an when I was a child, and I grew up here, so the folks in these villages were very kind to me. Even if my family fell into decline and my parents died unexpectedly, they still took good care of me."
"Oh? Are you not from Chang'an?"
Although Li Shimin knew that this boy was not from Chang'an, he still asked intentionally or unintentionally.
"No, I heard my parents say when I was young that we are originally from Jinyang County, Taiyuan County, and we seem to have some relationship with that bullshit Taiyuan Wang family."
Li Shimin secretly made a note to ask Bai Qisi to make a trip when he got back.
Baiqisi is the largest intelligence system in Li Shimin's hands. Although it is well aware of any troubles in Chang'an, it takes a lot of effort to find out things outside Chang'an.
Li Shimin would not dare to reuse a talented person like Tang Sufan without finding out the details.
While they were talking, they walked to the door of a small courtyard.
There is an old willow tree in front of the door. Even in late autumn, this alley with a somewhat desolate atmosphere still shows a bit of vitality.
Tang Sufan unlocked the door, opened the door, and led Li Shimin and others into the small courtyard where he lived.
Li Shimin and the others began to look at it secretly. It was not the "Hui" shaped courtyard that is common in Chang'an. It was somewhat similar to the shape of a courtyard. Although it was not big, it was not too small either.
The door, hall, back room, and wing rooms on the east and west sides also look like it is not a small family.
Compared with the residences of ordinary villagers around it, Tang Sufan's small courtyard is the largest. It cost him a lot of money to buy back the deed of this old house from the government.
Li Shimin asked: "Are you the only one in your family?"
Tang Sufan replied: "Yes, I have just returned to Chang'an for about a month, so I am the only one at home."
Li Shimin asked again: "Were you not in Chang'an before?"
Tang Sufan complained crazily in his heart, you don't recognize me as your son-in-law, why are you asking me so many questions? Are you checking your household registration?
