The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

After sending the letter, Li Chengqian felt relieved.

In the evening, Liu Niang prepared a large table of sumptuous banquet in the kitchen. Lao Zhou specially asked people to prepare the place. In the evening, he deliberately did not arrange work for the old people in the house, so that they could get together and have fun.

Everyone was waiting for Li Fu, the master of the house, to come and start the banquet.

Li Fu brought Li Chengqian to the dining place.

"Those sitting here today are all acquaintances who have gone through many ups and downs for many years. Don't be polite, everyone, eat and drink to celebrate Liu Niang's son, Tiezhu, who successfully became a disciple of the great scholar Mr. Lu Deming! This is a glory for us." Li Fu said loudly with a smile on his face.

Everyone agreed.

At the beginning of the banquet, Liu Niang first pulled Tiezhu to toast Li Fu and Li Chengqian with tea instead of wine.

Then it was the others who wanted to pull Liu Niang to drink.

"Liu Niang, today is a happy occasion, you can drink more wine, but Tiezhu should not drink. He is still young and should not drink. You should take good care of your mother later." Li Fu reminded Tiezhu.

"Yes, my dear." Tiezhu bowed his hands obediently.

Then everyone wanted to congratulate Liu Niang and Tiezhu, and pulled Liu Niang to drink.

Li Fu and Li Chengqian just sat here for a while to support Liu Niang and her son, and then left after eating.

He was worried that if he and Li Chengqian were here, they would not be able to relax even if they were eating.

In the yard, there was a breeze, and Li Fu was lying in a recliner, enjoying the cool in the yard.

Li Chengqian also sat on the cushion under the corridor, and asked someone to move a small low table, and sat there writing something seriously.

"Chengqian, what do you think of watching Liu Niang, Tiezhu and others celebrate just now?" Li Fu asked.

Li Chengqian raised his head and shook his head.

He knew that this was a good thing for Tiezhu, but if he had to say anything else, he could only say that Liu Niang and her son had finally made it.

Tiezhu had the status of a disciple of Dr. Lu, so he would not have to worry about his life in the future.

At worst, he could be a teacher like Dr. Lu's disciple in Zhuangzi, and he would be able to live a worry-free life.

I don't know if Tiezhu has a life contract in the hands of Uncle Wang. If not, if he is lucky enough to serve as an official in the court in the future, then they would be able to really make it.

Tiezhu should be called Chang Yi. To put it in a good way, he would make a name for himself in the court in the future, and there would be a "Chang family" in Chang'an City.

Although his family background was not as deep as that of a high-ranking official, he had also won a good start for future generations.

If you want a family to prosper, it is not something that can be run by one person.

How can a person compare with a noble family with generations of achievements?

"Some things are what you are born with, but ordinary people need a lot of effort and luck to get them." Li Fu smiled and said, "For example, Old Man Lu, His Majesty only needs an imperial decree, and he will be your teacher, or even just one of your teachers."

"And Tiezhu wants to become Old Man Lu's apprentice. If we don't introduce him, he may read all the books in his home and may not have the opportunity to become Old Man Lu's apprentice." Li Fu said, "There are so many 'Iron Pillars' in this world, but we have only seen one who has this opportunity."

Li Chengqian agreed.

"Uncle Wang, everything I enjoy now is thanks to the blessing of the Li family." Li Chengqian said: "Because my grandfather became the emperor, because my father became the emperor, I am the prince, and I have so many great scholars as teachers. It is my grandfather and father who worked hard to win the world, and we have today's prince Li Chengqian."

"If I don't have a good background, without the hard work of my father and grandfather, then I am no different from those children on the farm, and I may not be as lucky as them to live in such a farm and study peacefully... In the future, I will be as diligent as my father and live up to their expectations of me."

"Your father will be very happy to hear you say this." Li Fu smiled.

The night is as cool as water, and a bright moon hangs high in the sky.

The palace is silent, and only occasionally can you hear the rustling sound of the armor on the patrolling Jinwu Guards and their footsteps when they walk.

Li Shimin sat in the Liangyi Hall, still reading the memorials presented during the day.

The palace eunuch led a guard in from outside the palace.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has sent a letter." The eunuch said.

Li Shimin raised his head, his eyes slightly bright.

"Oh? Present it." The guard took out a thick letter, walked forward, and handed it over with both hands.

The eunuch beside Li Shimin walked down the steps, took the letter, and handed it to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin couldn't wait to open it and read it..

As he watched, Li Shimin's face gradually showed a smile.

"Your Majesty, did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince tell you about any happy events?" The eunuch standing on the side was very tactful and started the topic appropriately.

"Hahahaha, it counts, but not really." Li Shimin smiled, carefully put the letter away, and put it by his side. After thinking about it, it would be easy to lose it if it was kept by his side.

"Go find me a wooden box." Li Shimin ordered.

"Yes." The eunuch responded, and then ordered someone to find a wooden box.

Not long after, the wooden box was delivered. Li Shimin opened the wooden box and carefully put the letter written by Li Chengqian into the wooden box. He put it by his side as if it were a treasure, and looked at it from time to time.

After thinking about it, Li Shimin stood up, picked up the box, and walked around his seat, looking for a more conspicuous place.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing?" The eunuch was puzzled.

What is your majesty going to do?

"Look, how about putting this box here?" Li Shimin asked.

"Ah?" The eunuch was stunned.

Li Shimin put the box down, then returned to his seat and turned to look at the shelf.

Then he shook his head to deny it.

"No, my vision is not good, it's hard to look at it." Li Shimin said to himself.

He stood up and picked up the box again and changed its position.

He changed several places in a row, but none of them were satisfactory.

"Your Majesty, if you want to keep looking at this box, I will tidy up the low table next to you and put it on the low table next to you, how about it?

In this way, the table in front of you will still be used for the memorials of the court officials, and this small low table will be used for your favorite things."

Li Shimin sat there, thought for a moment, and nodded in response.

"Okay, I'll do as you say." Li Shimin showed a satisfied smile on his face: "This is good, just put it at hand, within reach."

Then, Li Shimin stood up again and went to find Li Chengqian's homework that he had brought back from the manor.
