When Zhu Youtang saw Li Qing like this, he couldn't help but feel angry and timid. He murmured for a while and then said:
"It seems like you shouldn't talk to me in this tone, right?"
When I talk to you, do I have to pay attention to my tone? Li Qing smiled, "Stop talking nonsense, how many oranges have you eaten?"
"Presumptuous, bold...!" Zhu Youtang was extremely angry, but no matter how he looked at it, he was angry and angry, and his expression was fierce but his heart was filled with anger.
'Click rub rub...! '
Jin Yiwei rushed in.
"emperor……"
"Everyone get out!"
"...Yes." Jin Yiwei came and left quickly.
Li Qing was unreasonable and asked: "Tell me, how much did you eat?"
"This is my...privacy."
"Come here and see, the majestic king of a country has gone back on his word..."
"You... shut up." Zhu Youtang was shocked and angry, but more of a fear, "Stop shouting, I will just eat less in the future."
"So...it's more than five, right?"
"Ang, it's exceeded." Zhu Youtang admitted readily and hummed: "Isn't it just to eat two more oranges? What's the big deal? If you are so presumptuous, you are not afraid of the emperor's wrath..."
Before he could finish speaking, Li Qing turned around and walked out.
"where did you go?"
"I want to see the Emperor."
"...Don't go." Zhu Youtang was convinced and said seriously: "This time it's true. From now on, I will only eat five oranges a day, and I won't eat the extra one."
"What if we go back on our word again?" Li Qing asked.
"Absolutely not!" Zhu Youtang said: "If I eat more oranges, I will have diarrhea."
"That's pretty much it." Li Qing's face looked a little better. People in this era didn't dare to swear easily, "Give me your hand."
Zhu Youtang stretched out his hand.
Li Qing put his hand on his wrist, exerted force with his fingers, and felt the beating of his pulse...
After a long time, he took back his hand.
"how?"
"Reduce sugar intake and eat according to the recipe." Li Qing said, "Every first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, you can make some improvements, but you must not overeat, otherwise... you know." ωＷω.ＧoＮЬ.οrＧ
"...Understand." Zhu Youtang asked, "Is my health better than before?"
Li Qing nodded.
Zhu Youtang's body has indeed improved a bit compared to before, but not much.
However, Li Qing did not expect it to be effective soon, but it has already met his psychological expectations.
He didn't dare to force it too much. From the last time Zhu Youtang couldn't control it and had a revengeful diet, it can be seen that blockage cannot be stopped, and can only be changed slowly and step by step.
Considering the emperor's heavy workload and to give Zhu Youtang something to look forward to, Li Qing said that he could be 'unbridled' twice a month.
If not, I'm afraid Zhu Youtang will be like last time.
This point, as evidenced by the fact that he ate more than his quota of oranges, is that he, Zhu Youtang, is not a person with strong self-control.
Li Qing stood up and said, "The common people retire."
"Hey, okay."
Zhu Youtang nodded. After Li Qing left, he suddenly realized that it was Li Qing who was obviously rude and rude, but he was still angry.
Especially, Li Qing actually threatened him.
Zhu Youtang gritted his teeth angrily: "This bastard bullied me too much!"
~
Changle Palace.
Zhu Jianshen lay on the bed, frowning slightly, feeling enjoyment, pain, and a hint of...pleasure.
Li Qing sat beside the bed, gently twisting the silver needle...
for a long time,
Zhu Jianshen broke the silence, "Are you ready to leave?"
"Well," Li Qing repeated to him what he had just said in Qianqing Palace, "If this trip goes well, it will be completed in three months. If it doesn't go well, it may take half a year."
After a pause, "You take the time to talk to the emperor. He is the king of a country. He has great weight and the right to know how the Ming Dynasty will develop in the future. However, don't mention me."
"I understand." Zhu Jianshen said, "Will you come back when you're done?"
"I want to go to Longhu Mountain, and I also want to go to Wudang, and I'm going to Jinling when I'm done..."
"You're just not going back to the capital?" Zhu Jianshen snorted, "I'm losing weight day by day, and you don't care at all, right?"
"...Don't act like a resentful little wife."
"You...are presumptuous!" Zhu Jianshen was furious, his beard trembling.
Li Qing apologized again and again, "I'm wrong, my metaphor is not vivid. How can a bearded little guy...ahem, I have told you so many times, your health is not that bad, and you won't have a problem living for another five years."
After a pause, "I will definitely come to see you next year."
"Leave after you're done?"
"Even if I leave, I will check your health and make sure you are fine before I leave." Li Qing sighed, "Don't worry, I don't go far in recent years. I will only go to Jiaozhi at most."
"...Okay, okay."
Zhu Jianshen also understood Li Qing.
We are already busy and tired enough, we have to have our own life, our own private space, right?
After a while, Li Qing took back the silver needles one by one, wiped them with strong alcohol, put them in the brocade box, and said, "Let's go."
"Wait a minute." Zhu Jianshen stopped him, "Are you leaving now?"
"Otherwise?" Li Qing said with a smile, "I have been playing with you for a year, plus giving you diagnosis and treatment, for a year and a half. I can't keep being lazy, right?
Besides, now is not the time to be lazy! "
Zhu Jian was silent for a moment and said, "Let's have a drink before leaving."
"No." Li Qing shook his head, "You'd better drink less alcohol for your health."
With that said, he turned around and walked out.
"Wait a moment."
Li Qing turned around helplessly, "What do you want to do again?"
"What if I come back after a long day of work and I get sick?" Zhu Jianshen snorted, "Baoding Mansion is not far from the capital. Are you tired of coming back?"
"Hmm... Okay." Li Qing said, "I'll come back first after I take care of the Shen family."
"That's pretty much it." Zhu Jianshen said in a low voice, "Take care."
Li Qing smiled and said, "Well, let's go."
…
Back in the small courtyard, Li Qing boiled a pot of water, took a hot bath, put on new clothes, and went out without bringing anything.
He didn't even hire a carriage...
A few days later.
Baoding Prefecture.
Li Qing looked at the plaque on the door of 'Shen's House' and thought to himself: After so many years, Shen Xin must be gone, right?
'Clang clang clang...! 'Li Qing knocked on the door.
After a while, the door opened, and the young man stuck his head out and said in surprise: "Master, who are you looking for?"
"Look for your family leader. I have a big business deal with him and I want to cooperate with him."
As he said this, he waved a piece of gold in his hand and said, "I reward you, go and report it to your master."
The boy was so dumbfounded that his eyes almost fell out. He covered it with one hand and took a hard bite. The teeth marks were clearly visible.
real!
"Sir, wait a minute, I'll go right away." The boy flew up happily. The Shen family had a great career, but they didn't appreciate their servants so much.
Money can make the world go round.
The boy quickly trotted back and said politely: "Sir, please, my master would like to see you."
Li Qing nodded, "Please lead the way."
Crossing the front hall, arriving at the second courtyard, and turning two more corners, Li Qing saw the current head of the Shen family.
This man was about forty years old. He had no beard on his lips and only a small beard under his chin. He was fair and fair, slightly fat, and had small eyes, which gave him a very shrewd look.
"Your Excellency, who is...?" The middle-aged man looked suspiciously. Although he learned from the servant that the visitor was a young man, he was still a little surprised.
Look at this appearance...it's just barely tall enough.
He couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
"My surname is Li, from Jinling." Li Qing said, "I would like to ask, is Mr. Shen Xin still here?"
The middle-aged man was slightly surprised, and his attitude became obviously kinder, and he said, "Young Master, do you know my old man?"
Li Qing nodded, "Are you from Mr. Shen...?"
"The eldest son and eldest grandson." The middle-aged man bowed and sighed: "The old man left in the 19th year of Chenghua, and my father followed him the year before last. My name is Shen Jin."
The other party could name his grandfather and was from Jinling, which made him feel closer instantly.
Grandpa is worth three gold, and his grandson is worth one gold. The Shen family knows how to name... Li Qing returned the favor,
"Li Changqing."
Shen Jin smiled and said: "Come here, serve tea. Mr. Li, please take a seat."
After Li Qing sat down, he asked: "Which family in Jinling does the young master belong to?"
"Does Boss Shen know about Jinling Yongqinghou Mansion?"
Shen Jin was startled, "You are..."
"I am a relative of the new Marquis Yongqing, and I am now helping the Li family with their business." Li Qing said, "Boss Shen should know who the chief naval officer is, right?"
"I know." Shen Jin nodded, "General Li is hereditary Marquis of Yongqing?"
"Yes," Li Qing said with a smile, "Mrs. Li sent me here to discuss business with Boss Shen."
Hearing that Li Qing said it was on the order of Mrs. Li, Shen Jin was greatly alert. Although he was in the north, as a powerful colleague, he still knew the Jinling Li family very well and knew that the actual person in charge was General Li's wife.
However, to be on the safe side, he still wanted to confirm.
"Master, do you have a token to prove your identity?"
There were no telephones in this era. With such a long distance, a month would not be enough to come and go.
Li Qing took out the jade pendant Zhu Jianshen gave him and said, "This is the personal jade pendant that Emperor Chenghua, now the Supreme Emperor, once awarded to General Li. Please take a look."
Shen Jin wanted to take it and take a closer look, but Li Qing raised his hand and took half a step back.
Shen Jin's face was sullen, and he stopped taking it, stretching his neck to take a closer look.
The jade pendant is crystal clear, and the carving is ingenious. The five-clawed dragon is lifelike. Although it is small, it is extremely majestic.
The Shen family is wealthy and has countless antiques and antiques. How could Shen Jin not have a discerning eye?
Besides, if it wasn't rewarded by the emperor, who would dare to carve a real dragon on a jade pendant?
Isn't this just wandering around with the heads of the Nine Clans?
Shen Jin no longer had any doubts, looked away, bowed again, and sounded more respectful.
In terms of family assets, he thought he was not inferior to the Li family, but in terms of background, they were incomparable.
Marquis Yongqing, Chief Naval Officer, not to mention the Shen family, even if we look at the Ming Dynasty, how many people can match him?
"I wonder what kind of business Mrs. Li wants to discuss with Shen?"
Li Qing smiled slightly and said: "Of course it's a business to make a fortune!"
Shen Jin's eyes lit up, and then he said cautiously: "The Li family is a rich man in Jinling, and also... a big family. It seems that there is no need to cooperate with the Shen family, right?"
"Boss Shen, there is no need to worry. I, the Li family, are not bored enough to come here to Baoding Mansion to trick people," Li Qing lowered his voice, "There are some things that are not convenient to say, but since Boss Shen has doubts, I will make it clear to you. However, Please also ask Boss Shen to keep quiet, otherwise... it will be difficult for everyone."
"Shen is also a businessman, I understand the rules." Shen Jin nodded.
Li Qing said quietly: "Baoding Mansion is close to the capital, at the feet of the emperor, and above the temple. The Li family wants to make money, but they have to be cautious. Boss Shen is a smart man and should understand."
