Du Shaoqing laughed suddenly, and then said loudly: "Young master only walks the road, which is admirable, and Du Mou never lies and regrets what he said.

Although the recruitment has ended, there are still four apprenticeships. If you have the courage to apply for an apprenticeship, then I can reluctantly let you have a try.As for courage, I can only tell you that as long as you dare to come, I will take it. Of course, if you fail the exam, no one can help you. "

After finishing speaking, Du Shaoqing said that he still had important matters, so he would not accompany him for the time being, and handed over the place to his assistant, Erhu. He turned and walked outside, and returned home, brought his wife, Princess Changle, and headed straight for the palace.

Cui Hao gritted his teeth, looking at the legendary number one talented scholar in the Tang Dynasty, his heart was full of dissatisfaction. Today, he wanted to use the name of the exam to compare his talents with this son-in-law, but he did not expect the other party to be so courageous. He doesn't take Qinghe Cui's family seriously at all, knowing his identity, even princes and princes would not dare to be so arrogant when they see him.

Erhu smiled and stepped forward and asked, "My lord, since the shopkeeper has ordered me, I dare not disobey.

I don't know if you still want to participate in the recruitment assessment?If you don't take the test, then you have something to do in the pharmacy, so I won't accompany you. "

Um?Cui Hao turned his head and glanced at this guy. He didn't expect a little guy to have the same virtue as his master?When did a servant dare to talk to himself like that?

Cui Hao's accompanying book boy stood up and persuaded him: "Master, why don't we go, if people spread the news that Qinghe Cui's eldest son came to assess an apprentice, I'm afraid the old man will be angry."

Cui Hao raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly: "I have been away from home for a long time, why have I been restrained by them? Today I came here just for this test question, and you want me to return without success?"

"Then, why don't we get the test questions and try them out? Even if you get all the answers right, it's fine if you refuse to be his apprentice in the end? Their recruitment is not a matter of forced buying and selling."

Snapped!Before the book boy finished speaking, Cui Hao slapped the other party on the head, and said angrily: "Bastard, I am the direct descendant of the Qinghe Cui family, how can I do such shameless things that go back on my word? The man, Yi Nuo, passed the natural exam If you promise to be their apprentice, even if you only do it for a day, then you have fulfilled your promise."

The Erhu next to him couldn't help but praise: "Young master is sensible, I admire you, we are sincerely recruiting for the assessment, and there are test questions that are only available for recruiting, so naturally we want to receive people who are sincerely applying for apprentices, and we don't want to see Those unscrupulous people who came to make trouble."

"Bold, what is your identity? Even if your shopkeeper is a genius doctor and a son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty, how can we have the Eldest Prince Cui of Qinghe come to be your apprentice?" the book boy shouted.

After thinking about it for a while, Cui Hao pulled back the noisy book boy, stood up and said to Er Hu: "I agree to apply for an apprenticeship, please arrange an assessment for me."

"Master, you can't"

"Huh? When did I need your orders? Why don't you step back? As a nobleman, you must behave politely and convince others with reason instead of oppressing them. If you are afraid of being implicated by following me, now You can go back, anyway, the old man at home just drove me out, and didn't say that he would take you with him." Cui Hao reprimanded the bookboy.

With a bang, the onlookers outside the door became angry, and they agreed?The eldest son of the Cui family was able to lower his body to apply for an apprentice position?How can this be?The Cui family of Qinghe is a first-class nobleman, even the royal family wants to give him three points. As the head of the Cui family, isn't Cui Hao afraid of the family's anger if he hastily put himself down like this?

Chapter 227 The House of Changle

"That's it, young master, please come with me. The weather is cold, and there is a special warm room examination room at the back for the assessment." Erhu led the young master to the assessment, and the book boy was already stunned.

The crowd outside the door is getting more and more crowded. They all want to see if the controversial Mr. Cui has the ability to answer the questions and pass the level. Don't let the rumors be loud and the rain is small. In the end, he can't answer a question. That's all.

In the palace, Emperor Li Er has already moved his office into a newly built room with heating. This is Du Shaoqing's indigenous heating method specially designed for the palace. Through the underground passage, the palace interior is warm.

Because the palaces of the imperial palace are used for office work, the space is relatively large, so the emperor can’t sit cross-legged on the kang for office work, right? If there is a small court meeting, dozens of ministers will also sit cross-legged on the kang?How big is that kang?And a group of big men are sitting cross-legged chatting with their shoes off. If anyone has athlete's foot or something, God, the picture is so beautiful that I can't even imagine it.

After listening to his daughter, Princess Changle, complaining about a group of orphans, Li Er sighed. As the king of a country, he is the patriarch of a family, and he has nothing to do with any people who suffer from hunger or cold. Being discovered by his daughter and son-in-law was a great help to him.

She smiled and said to her daughter: "You are always careful and kind. I am very pleased that your husband and wife can share my worries so much. Why don't you leave the matter of taking care of orphans and beggars to you two? Your eldest brother is now busy with national winter heating. , no time to spare, if it is apportioned to other veterans, I am afraid that they are busy with business and have no time to spare, if one is not good, it will be a life if it is delayed."

The princess explained the purpose of her visit: "Father, we don't dare to be self-confident about this matter, my husband, it is better to use your name as Father, so that others will not gossip."

Li Er heard this and looked at Du Shaoqing with a smile, and scolded with a smile: "However, you have a lot of heart, and you are afraid that I will criticize you? You are pretending to be here, and you can't tolerate these tens of thousands of people?"

Du Shaoqing defended with a wry smile: "My son-in-law thinks that the favor of the king is for the hearts of the people. It is useless for me and Changle to come. It is most suitable for the father-in-law or the prince to handle this matter."

Hearing this answer, Li Er laughed loudly, pointed at Du Shaoqing and said, "No, I will leave this matter to you and Changle. Changle is my daughter, the princess of the Tang Dynasty, and I will be kind to the people on my behalf. It's all right, who said that fame is useless? I want my daughter to be famous through the ages like her aunt, Princess Pingyang, and maybe it will become a great story."

The princess was so moved that she almost shed tears. Her aunt, Princess Pingyang, almost helped conquer half of the country when the Tang Dynasty raised troops and founded the country. good name.

Li Er got up and handed the handkerchief to his daughter to wipe his tears. Thinking of his second sister, he was indeed a little sad. Looking back, if this sister didn't die, I'm afraid that a group of brothers would not kill each other too much.

"But I said it in advance. In this case, I will not let the treasury provide money and food. I will send someone to set aside a special place to support you in gathering beggars and lonely old people. Well, the name is simply called Changle House. Princess Changle built it for the people. One of Changle's homes, haha, with this name, it is easy to do things with a famous name.

But construction, money and food, etc., have to be solved by you kid. "The conversation changed, and Li Er looked at Du Shaoqing jokingly.

Well, this old fox has been doing this for a long time. No wonder he didn't even want the hearts of tens of thousands of people. It turned out that he was doing search to save money. It was really a good plan, even though it was in the name of Princess Changle , but the princess is still the emperor's daughter after all, and the hearts of the people belong to him. At the same time, he didn't spend any money. Du Shaoqing admired the old man's plan.

The princess wiped away her tears and agreed repeatedly: "Don't worry, father, I know that the treasury is tight, my husband has already arranged this matter, and we still have some money for business."

Du Shaoqing really wants to cover his eyes and pull his wife, this prodigal old woman, who talks about everything, and also reveals her family fortune?But?

Sure enough, Li Er pointed at Du Shaoqing and scolded with a smile: "What? You still want to hide it? You made a fortune in just half a year, and you think I don't know? One tael of spirits and one tael of silver, this is money grabbing.

I heard that you already have 20 taels in your account. Do you know how much the treasury's current annual income is? 30 taels!It's not even worth your income alone, or else I will put down my old face and cry poorly with my daughter? "

He muttered in a low voice, "This is Lu Guogong too, why are you talking about everything?"

"It's not what Zhijie said, Chang'an is so big, what don't I know?" Li Er reprimanded.

Du Shaoqing never thought that a national treasury is so poor, with only 30 taels of income a year, so how does this country work?Didn't it mean that the income from salt and iron is controlled by the state?

What he doesn't know is that the country does not compete with the people for profit. This is a political rule. The country spends money immediately after it earns money. It is more of a balanced operation that is taken from the people and used by the people. Although salt and iron earn money, However, it is unimaginable for Datang to invest in military affairs. Weapons, armor, and war horses are all bottomless pits.

"Father-in-law, you're always joking. I'm afraid you don't like the small amount of money my son-in-law has. Our little amount of money is not as good as pulling out hairs from Uncle Lizhi's house." Du Shaoqing joked.

"You kid, don't play tricks. I like it. I want to be filial to you. Will you give it? The auxiliary machine family is a big family with thousands of people. Your Du family is just a few people. Who has the money?" Li Er retorted.

Du Shaoqing was speechless after being refuted, and he pulled his wife away to flee, but his reason for leaving was, "Let's go, madam, let's go home quickly, my father-in-law is always arguing that our family is small, you can We must work hard to have more children, and such a big event cannot be delayed for a moment."

Li Er was stunned by this sentence, the princess shook off her husband's hand in shame, stomped her foot towards Du Shaoqing and cursed: "What nonsense are you talking about? You just came and left? You haven't visited your mother yet."

The princess blushed and hurried to see the queen, but the emperor stopped Du Shaoqing cursingly: "You are unscrupulous boy, you are really outspoken, wait a minute before leaving, tell me about Liu'er's situation, Concubine Yang will ask for help every day." Ask three times, my head is getting bigger."

Seeing that his daughter and son-in-law are so harmonious, the emperor Li Erlao is very relieved, this is like a happy marriage, except for the couple, his other daughters and son-in-law, when they go back to their mother's house, they are so scared that they talk submissively and keep a respectful distance from themselves , including many of my own sons, who were well-behaved when they were young, but timid when they grew up. That kind of feeling made me, the emperor, feel even more lonely.

It was precisely because of this that Emperor Li Er looked at Du Shaoqing's family and his granddaughter Du Xuanxuan differently. Recently, he even thought of decreing Xiao Xuanxuan as a princess.

When Li Er reminded him like this, Du Shaoqing really wanted to come back and discuss Li Yin's matter with him. This kid's psychological dark side is too big. I don't know if Li Er's father can agree.

Chapter 228 Our family is too short of money

Hearing Du Shaoqing's approach, Li Er frowned and fell into hesitation. After a long time, he asked: "Is it a little heavy? Xiaoliu is only 14 years old, and Chengqian didn't have to be like this at that time."

Shaking his head, Du Shaoqing said in a deep voice: "Only strong medicine is used for serious illnesses! And the younger you are, the more you need to pay attention to education. At the age of three, you look at the younger and at the seventh year, you look at the old. The sixth prince is different from the prince. The prince has a pure heart and a good nature, but Li Min is a little ignorant of good and evil, and has always acted on his likes and dislikes, which will be terrible, and the higher the position, the scarier it will be."

Sighing, Li Er said, "It's because I neglected to educate him. You are right. Chengqian became the crown prince at the age of eight. He was also a good boy who suffered hardships before."

"My son-in-law is a doctor, and my father-in-law handed over the child to me, so I can only prescribe the right medicine. After all, Li Yin's status is different. I dare not be self-determined, and I don't have enough people." Du Shaoqing explained Said.

After all, Li Er is the king of a country. He has never done anything cruel, and his brothers have killed them. Let alone educating the children, he nodded and said: "I leave it to you, you have full power to educate, and you don't need to report the details to me." , I only want a result, if there is a lack of people, I will let a team of hundred cavalry under your command, you can do whatever you want, as long as no one is killed, I will take care of Concubine Yang and Ke'er for you."

Du Shaoqing brought his wife out of the palace with a smile, and gained a new understanding of his father-in-law. He is really a good monarch, but not a good father, as others have said. Never mind, the sixth child, Li Yin, is a tragedy caused by this kind of free-range education.

Moreover, Du Shaoqing didn't expect that the emperor's tentacles could reach everything. He even knew how much money he made a year, which was better than his client, so he had to admire other people's intelligence agencies.

On the carriage home, the princess smiled and asked, "Husband, why do I feel that you were not happy when my father named the Changle House? Do you have to stick to your saying and call it an orphanage? That sounds too unpleasant. Cozy."

Du Shaoqing came back to his senses, "Ah? No, I'm not unhappy. I just think that if it's named Changle House, I'm afraid it won't be suitable for the manager to ask Wu Zhao to do it. That girl still pouts to heaven?"

The princess stretched out her finger and pointed at her husband's head and sneered, "It's really like what the father said, but you have a lot of eyes. You don't need to talk about this matter. I will go to sister Wu Zhao to discuss it in person. She is not as narrow-minded as you are. Come out, she also likes children, especially our Xuanxuan, but this child, Xuanxuan, is a bit against sister Wu Zhao."
