Chapter 107 Does the tree attract the wind?
I have been to the Tang Dynasty for so long. Du Shaoqing has never married a wife in his two lives. Although he was in love in his previous life, he has never been married. His predecessor in this life was married and had a child, but he did not participate.
After thinking carefully for a long time, Du Shaoqing felt that his mother was right, so he asked someone to find someone in Chang'an. He may not find anyone that the Duke and Empress cannot find. If he drags on his daughter, he will probably not be able to accept his stepmother even more.
"Since that's the case, then everything depends on my mother's arrangement. But I have one requirement, that the other party must like the child. I don't want Xuanxuan to suffer grievances. In addition, I need to see who the other party is, and I don't want to marry in the dark." After hesitating, Du Shaoqing nodded and agreed.
Qi was overjoyed and held his son's hand to comfort him, "That's right! Mom is for your own good, don't worry, choose a wife for my son, so of course I will choose the best ones. Tomorrow I will go back to Chang'an in person to find a down-to-earth and reliable good woman for you, and everything is covered by Mom."
Seeing his mother happily go back to pack up her things, Du Shaoqing was worried. If it really happened, how should she tell her daughter? What would the child make a fuss?
Because of the third aunt's description in a critical tone, Du's mother did not think about going to find the missing daughter-in-law. Like the third aunt, she thought that the woman disliked the poor and abandoned her husband and children. How could such a woman be worthy of her son?
If she had let her know that her cheap daughter-in-law was the most noble princess in the Tang Dynasty, I wonder what the expression of Qi would have?
The story always develops so coincidental. The day after Qi returned to Chang'an, a guest actually came to Yunlai Inn in Luoxia Town, but was still a noble guest - Changsun Wugui, the queen of the Tang Dynasty.
Looking at the graceful and luxurious woman in front of her, it was definitely different from when she first met in Lizheng Hall. Du Shaoqing felt a flash of eyes, and his cheap wife appeared in his mind. Not to mention, it seemed to be a bit similar to this queen. Du Shaoqing felt secretly proud.
"Boy, have you seen enough? If someone else dared to stare at me like this, I'm afraid the head would have fallen to the ground long ago." Changsun interrupted Du Shaoqing's imagination.
"Ahem, I just feel a little dazed. The Empress is a bit like an old friend of mine, and she has no other intentions." Du Shaoqing said embarrassedly.
At this time, a cold snorted from behind the queen, "Hmph, hypocrite, hypocritical, don't know how to live or die!"
Du Shaoqing thought to himself who is this? How much hatred does it have with me? I wish I could press all the derogatory words in the world on me and look sideways. Good guy, isn’t this the biggest second generation of our Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian, the prince of the East Palace?
Hey, which one did you sing today? It would be fine if the queen went on a private visit, but the prince was even more amazing. She was dressed like a poor man and looked full of resentment, as if someone owed him how much money.
"Chengqian, you have agreed. Is this the attitude of seeing my mother's savior?" the queen scolded.
Li Chengqian stepped forward reluctantly and bowed to Du Shaoqing, "Li Chengqian thanked Mr. for saving his life to his mother."
"Dode, Your Highness, I'm not used to you, and you feel awkward, so you'll be fine.
I wonder how the Empress and His Royal Highness of the Crown Prince have time today, but they actually came to my countryside shop in a condescending manner. It was really bright, please come from the two of you."
Du Shaoqing took the two to the back house and asked the guys to greet a team of plainclothes guards who escorted the queen.
In the back house, Du Xuanxuan saw that it was her grandmother who came to see her, so she trotted over happily. The queen picked up her granddaughter and didn't see her for a month, so she wanted to die of this little guy.
"Grandma Queen, why are you here? Xuanxuan misses you every day." The little girl acted coquettishly in her grandmother's arms.
"I'm recuperating in the palace. Isn't this just the disease just coming? I know my little baby is the most obedient. Let's see what gifts I brought to you." As he said that, Li Chengqian asked him to take out a bag the size of a palm.
Du Xuanxuan opened it and saw it, it was a sweet candy. The little girl's eyes were bent into a pair of crescent moons, and she quickly held the bag of candy in her arms.
"You will take your rich uncle around your house first. I have something to discuss with your father." As he said that, the queen put down the child, and sent her and the prince away, and followed Du Shaoqing to the living room alone.
The two of them took the seats separately, and the queen explained the purpose of the visit.
Du Shaoqing exclaimed: "What did you say? Leave the prince to me to study? What a joke?"
This news surprised Du Shaoqing so much that he did not stand firmly, and his hands pouring water almost knocked over the teapot.
"I am serious, and I have thought about it carefully. You, Du Shaoqing, have the ability to let Chengqian learn something." The queen looked at the rough tea bowl in front of her, and was slightly curious. Is the untreated tea leaves? Is this guy fiddling?
In the early Tang Dynasty, tea was still cooked in a mixed manner in the previous generations. It was a way to mix tea leaves, green onions, ginger, oranges and other seasonings in one pot, and also a way to add onions, ginger, pepper and other seasonings to be crushed and brewed. So the tea at that time was really delicious, which was very different from the later evolution of drinking green tea. Du Shaoqing drank it once in the Imperial Hospital and vomited.
After taking a sip, a faint bitterness lingered in the mouth, the queen's eyes lit up. Just this detail can show that Du Shaoqing is definitely not simple. She is not such a rough country man on the surface, and she is definitely a elegant person inside, otherwise she would not be able to get such things.
Du Shaoqing didn't understand. He didn't know how to deal with the prince. The queen couldn't see it. Then why did she still do this? Isn't this making it uncomfortable for me and her son?
"Empress, the prince is the crown prince of a country. What he should learn is the great knowledge of governing the country. In my small shop, I am a chef who cooks food in a small shop. Is it possible that you want him to learn this?
I asked weakly, did Your Majesty agree to this matter? If I train him into a chef, will Your Majesty kill me?"
The queen nodded faintly and said, "I have issued a military order with Your Majesty. In three months, he will see Chengqian's changes. In the past three months, your Majesty will not interfere with what I will arrange.
Why? Don’t you believe it? As Chengqian’s mother, I also have the right to educate my son.”
Du Shaoqing nodded with a bitter smile. What you said is right or what is right, but what does it have to do with me?
"I will keep him here in the past three months. There is no prince or Li Chengqian here, but only one newcomer from the inn. Oh, Gao Ming is the word Chengqian.
No matter what you teach him to do, what's wrong with the cook? In addition, I think that learning to cook by himself is not a shameful thing, and being able to fill his stomach with his own labor is a skill. As Cheng Qian's mother, I would be very pleased to know that my son has learned to cook and will not starve to death when he is alone.
So you do it boldly, I here promise that you don’t have to bear any responsibility, and if you do it well, I will receive rewards.”
Looking at the queen's appearance and the prince's dress, Du Shaoqing believed it a little, and didn't know how the three of them broke up. In short, it seemed that there was something big in this small shop that attracted the wind. If you can say such words, this queen is very good!
"Empress, can Caomin refuse?"
"What do you think? The matter of the Tang Dynasty crown prince is a trivial matter? Do you dare not do your best?" the queen stared at Du Shaoqing and asked back.
