At two quarters of noon, Qin Ming and Li Yuan had just arrived at the restaurant and were about to sit down when Qin Dafei hurriedly entered the restaurant.
"Old man, young master, His Royal Highness the King of Yue is here again."
Li Yuan crossed his arms across his chest, rolled his eyes, and said displeased:
"Didn't this little fat guy just come here yesterday? Why did he come here again today to get food? Doesn't Prince Yue's Mansion even have enough food to eat?!"
Qin Ming smiled and explained to Li Yuan:
"Old man, don't be angry. Maybe something happened on the construction site and he came here. You sit down first and I will go out to greet him."
Li Yuan waved his hand and said to Qin Ming:
"With Li Chun and Ma Zhou in charge of the construction site, what can happen? I mean, isn't that little fat guy greedy?"
"I think he regards this as his own dining hall. Don't go out to greet him. Let him come in by himself."
After speaking, Li Yuan put his hands on his hips and faced Qin Dao:
"Ada, go out and tell him. Just say that I said it. If you want to eat, just come in by yourself. You haven't even grown your hair yet. Why are you acting like a prince to someone else?"
When Qin Da heard this, he showed a troubled expression. He turned to look at Qin Ming and saw Qin Ming nodding.
He saluted Li Yuan again, accepted his promise, and went out to pick up the people.
(What the old man said is so damn tough! He is worthy of being a serious relative of the emperor!)
After a while
Qin Dabin led two young men in brocade robes into the small courtyard.
Before Li Tai entered the door of the restaurant, he shouted carelessly from outside:
"Hahaha, Brother Ming, Brother Ming, so-and-so is back again. What delicious food can you cook at this house?"
Li Yuan put down his chopsticks, glared at the little fat man who had just entered the door, and said angrily:
"What's your kid's name? How dignified are you?"
Li Tai had been staring at the construction site all morning and was already hungry.
That's why after walking into the courtyard and smelling the fragrance all over the courtyard, I felt so carried away.
At this time, when he saw Li Yuan staring angrily at the dinner table, he trembled and hurriedly bent down and saluted:
"Qingque pays homage to his grandfather."
At the same time, Li Chengqian, who came in with him, also saluted and said:
"Gao Ming pays homage to his grandfather."
Li Yuan glanced at Li Chengqian in surprise, wondering why this kid was here.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the confusion in Qin Ming's eyes, and Li Yuan vaguely felt that letting these two grandsons continue to call his grandfather like this might ruin his good deeds.
So he waved his hand and said:
"Get up."
After speaking, Li Yuan pretended to Li Chengqian and asked:
"Who is this doll of yours? Why do you call me Grandpa?"
As soon as these words came out, Li Chengqian, who was now in the restaurant, was stunned for a moment, and then reacted immediately.
Just as he was about to explain, Qin Ming stood up and introduced Li Yuan:
"Old man, this is His Highness the Crown Prince."
Li Yuan nodded slightly and said:
"No wonder I think you have a good face. Okay, you all can sit down. From now on, you and Brother Ming can just call me old man here."
When Li Chengqian and Li Tai heard this, they cupped their hands and said:
"promise."
After saying that, the two of them sat around the table next to Qin Ming. The maid serving in the restaurant quickly took two sets of bowls and chopsticks and placed them on the table in front of the two princes.
Since Qin Ming joined the Road and Bridge Division, he has also seen Li Chengqian several times in the palace.
He had a good impression of the first rebellious prince in the history of the Tang Dynasty.
At least in his eyes, Li Chengqian's eyes were clear and bright now, and he was gentle and gentle in his dealings with others.
From the way he looked at his sisters and Li Tai when he was in the government office, Qin Ming could tell that Li Chengqian was a good brother who loved and cared for his younger brothers and sisters. He was not a cold-blooded person who didn't care about family ties.
Judging from this, Li Chengqian's temperament changed drastically and he rebelled, which was probably related to his broken leg!
I don’t know if my time travel can change this kid’s lame fate!
Qin Ming asked the two of them to use their chopsticks while asking Li Chengqian:
"Gao Ming, why are you free to come here today?"
Li Chengqian put down his chopsticks, glanced at Li Tai, whose skin was tanned by the sun and was eating a lot of food, and said with a smile:
"This boy has lost a lot of weight recently, and the queen mother is a little worried that his body will not be able to bear it, so I went to the construction site today specifically to visit my fourth brother."
"I just wanted to take a look at how the construction of the Changlan Cement Road, which has been making a lot of noise recently in Chang'an City, is going."
Qin Ming nodded when he heard this.
Hearing Li Chengqian mention Empress Changsun, Qin Ming couldn't help but think of Changsun's illness, so he asked:
"How is aunt's recovery recently? Do you need to ask Daozhang Sun or Baili to help with diagnosis and treatment?"
Li Chengqian and Li Tai immediately put down their chopsticks upon hearing this. Li Chengqian stood up earlier and took Qin Ming's hand, saying:
"The queen's illness has been cured, but it would be best if Master Miaoying is willing to go to the palace and help the queen with diagnosis and treatment."
Li Tai on the side also looked at Qin Ming expectantly and said excitedly:
"Brother Ming, how about you ask Master Sun? If he agrees, why don't we return to Chang'an right now?"
Qin Ming thought for a while and said:
"There is something going on at a certain person's house today, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient. Besides, a few days ago, a certain person prepared a gift for his aunt. Counting the time, it will be ready today or tomorrow."
"So how about setting the date for tomorrow?"
Li Chengqian nodded and said:
"Okay, then we have an agreement. Tomorrow Guhui will send someone to wait for you at Zhuque Gate."
Qin Ming nodded, then pointed to the dishes on the dinner table and said:
"Gao Ming, Artai, let's eat first. It won't taste good after it gets cold."
The two of them smiled at each other and started to enjoy the meal.
Li Yuan, who had been listening to the conversation between several people, raised his eyebrows when he heard about the gift.
(What’s wrong? Do you still have any conscience?)
(After making so much money, you only think about preparing gifts for your mother-in-law? Did you forget that I, your grandfather and matchmaker, went to your grandma’s house?)
Li Yuan coughed lightly, put down his chopsticks, and asked:
"Brother Ming, you have specially prepared a gift for the queen? What is it? Can you tell your grandfather about it? My grandfather can help you with the details!"
Qin Ming turned to look at Li Yuan and said with a smile:
"Okay, it just so happens that my grandson also carefully prepared a gift for you, similar to that of aunt, for you. Let's go and take a look after dinner later."
Li Yuan was greatly relieved when he heard this.
(Assuming you have a conscience, my love for you is not in vain!)
Li Yuan had an indifferent expression on his face. He patted Qin Ming on the shoulder and said sincerely:
"Oh, you kid, your grandfather has never seen any good things in his life, why are you spending all this unjust money on your grandfather!"
Qin Ming smiled and said:
"You are a member of our family. You have white jade pillars holding up the sky and purple gold beams supporting the sea. If your grandchildren don't honor you, who should they honor?"
Qin Ming waved his hand and said proudly:
"Besides, we don't have much else in our house except money. As long as you are happy, your grandchildren don't care how much you spend!"
When Li Yuan heard this, he applauded and laughed:
"What a wonderful person, with white jade pillars holding up the sky and purple gold beams supporting the sea. Good, good, good. My grandson's words have won my heart! I am very comforted! Very comforted!"
"You go back and use your thin gold body to write a calligraphy for your grandfather and frame it. Grandpa's calligraphy will be hung in the main hall!"
Qin Ming smiled and nodded.
Li Chengqian and Li Tai looked at each other in confusion.
At this moment, looking at their grandfather laughing, they suddenly understood why their grandfather had left the palace alone and came to Qin Ming!
