The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Li Fu left Liangyi Hall and went to Da'an Palace. Although the things were delivered, he had to show up.

Looking at the time, it was time for lunch.

It was just right to go to Da'an Palace for a meal, no, to have a meal with my uncle.

At Da'an Palace, after the people delivered the things, Li Yuan asked why Li Fu didn't come.

"Your Majesty, the King of Jingyang was summoned to the palace by your Majesty. I heard it was for the prince's matter." The eunuch responded.

"Prince?" Li Yuan thought for a while: "Oh, yes, the prince has been at the King of Jingyang's manor for some time, and it is appropriate for Erlang to summon the King of Jingyang."

Li Yuan personally looked at the things that Li Fu sent him, and he always had a smile on his face.

When a person is old, he is always remembered and cared for by others. How can he not be happy?

"Your Majesty, I wonder what kind of meal your Majesty wants to have today. I can go to the Shangshi Bureau to give instructions." The eunuch beside Li Yuan asked.

"It's hot, I don't have much appetite, let the Shangshi Bureau prepare some cold dishes." Li Yuan said: "The mutton should be served cold, and the rest, let them do it."

"Yes." The eunuch responded.

Li Yuan gave the order, and Li Fu came.

"Uncle! Nephew is here to see you." Li Fu came in with a loud voice.

"Oh, you came from your second brother, come in and sit down." Li Yuan greeted Li Fu with a smile, and stopped the eunuch who was going to the Shangshi Bureau, and then said to Li Fu: "It's just right, let's have lunch here together."

"My nephew is also planning to do so."

"Tell him what you want to eat, and let him ask the Shangshi Bureau to prepare it."

Li Fu thought about it, ordered two dishes, and asked him to take the canned hawthorn from the things he sent, chill it, and present it.

The weather is hot, and the appetite is poor, eat this thing to whet the appetite.

As for fruit smoothies, Li Fu really didn't dare to let Li Yuan try them. As people age, their spleen and stomach become weaker. If the old man had diarrhea after eating them, Li Fu would feel guilty.

The eunuchs in the palace began to clean up the place, and then brought a table to Li Fu.

Not long after, an eunuch came in with the canned iced hawthorns that Li Fu wanted.

On the tables of Li Yuan and Li Fu, one was placed each.

"Uncle, it's hot and you can't eat anything. Eat some of this stuff to stimulate your appetite. It's iced." Li Fu said.

"Okay." Li Yuan responded generously, picked up the spoon, and ate two bites of hawthorn.

Eating too much of this stuff will also make your teeth fall out.

"Cheng Qian and the other three children, are you having fun on your farm?" Li Yuan asked.

"Not bad, they seem to be more active than when they were in the palace. They are happy even when they are asked to work." Li Fu said with a smile: "I was just about to tell you about this. After returning from this trip, my second brother took me away to be Cheng Qian's teacher."

"Now, your nephew is the Prince's tutor in the East Palace. Your nephew never thought that one day, I could be a teacher for others." Li Fu smiled helplessly.

"Prince's tutor? Oh, a second-rank official." Li Yuan smiled happily: "It seems that you have learned a lot with Cheng Qian and others in the manor. I heard that Lu Deming also went there. You can be the Prince's tutor, which means that Lu Deming agrees with you very much, which is a good thing."

"It is rare for you to be a second-rank official at your age." Li Yuan sighed.

When I recognized Li Fu, I didn't expect that this kid had such talent and could be recognized by Lu Deming to be the current prince's teacher.

"This is all because of my status." Li Fu said with a smile: "If you hadn't gone to Jingyang County that day, my nephew wouldn't have the glory today."

Li Yuan smiled.

Status is one thing, but if you only have status and don't have any real ability, the best you can do is just get a title and an insignificant official title.

And the Prince's tutor in the East Palace, a real second-rank official, can't be brought by an empty status.

The uncle and nephew didn't chat for long, and the eunuch outside came in and asked Li Yuan if he could serve the dishes.

Li Yuan nodded in response, and then the eunuchs waiting outside the hall came in with the dishes.

"Uncle, have you been happy in the palace recently?" Li Fu asked.

"Same as always, but I've been playing mahjong with a group of old ministers recently, and my luck is not very good." Li Yuan smiled helplessly: "I lost a lot of money."

Li Fu was speechless, those old ministers were really real.

"But I don't care about that little money." Li Yuan waved his hand generously.

Li Fu brought him so much money, all of which was kept in the warehouse. On weekdays, Li Yuan's daily expenses were managed by the inner court. That money was completely Li Yuan's small treasury.

Even if he lost every day,It's enough to lose for a while, right?

Besides, in Li Yuan's opinion, it's impossible to lose every day, there are times when you win.

Li Fu was considering whether to tell Li Yuan that dice can be filled with lead.

"How is the business of the shop recently?" Li Yuan asked with a smile.

"Although it's not as good as when it opened, it's still very good. Who let this business be done by our family? The shopkeeper went directly to Huizhou. In the future, the sales of tea will become wider and wider, and the supply must keep up." Li Fu explained.

"During the Zhongyuan Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, will the tea shop still have some new tricks like the Dragon Boat Festival?" Li Yuan was curious.

"No for the Ghost Festival, but there must be for the Mid-Autumn Festival. When the gift boxes come out, I will give you a few sets. If you like, keep them or give them to your subjects."

Where are the gift boxes for the Ghost Festival...

But the Mid-Autumn Festival is a good festival for making money, so we can't let it go. It's the first time for the Dragon Boat Festival, so we may not have enough experience, but for the Mid-Autumn Festival, we will definitely do better than the Dragon Boat Festival.

"Your idea is good. In this way, even if the family has bought tea on weekdays, they will buy tea again for the name of the Mid-Autumn Festival." Li Yuan smiled.

Li Fu suddenly thought of an idea, but this matter still needs Li Yuan's consent.

"Uncle, your birthday is November 24th." Li Fu looked at Li Yuan and asked.

"Yes, what's wrong?" Li Yuan wondered, Li Fu suddenly asked this, what did he want to do.

"Nephew has an idea." Li Fu had a sweet smile on his face.

"Well? What do you think of my birthday?"

"So far, the best tea sold in the tea shop is only first-class tea." Li Fu said: "My nephew is thinking that on your birthday, the shop will prepare ten sets of tea gift boxes. The gift boxes must be carved from precious wood and must be exquisite as a commemorative edition."
