Tanabata Diva Concert: Happy Breakup

When passing by the front yard, Zheng Zhengjin shouted to the other side: "Xueyan, your father and mother are here to see you."

Several women who were discussing things inside heard the voice, and Li Xueyan immediately ran out: "Aye, mother. You are here." After saying that, she went forward and hugged Princess Rencheng's arm. Very intimate.

Li Leyan, Zheng Liwan, Yu Youwei and others all came out.
But before the three of them had time to salute, Li Dao Zong interrupted them and said, "No need to be polite. Today we are just here to have a free meal."

The girls didn't mind the etiquette.

Li Xiaogong said: "Today you scolded those scholars in the court, it was really a relief."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Zhengjin rolled his eyes and said to Li Xiaogong, "That's just the beginning. If I wasn't afraid that Kong Yingda couldn't stand it, I think I would make him vomit blood. After the court session, Kong Yingda, Zheng Qishuang, and Pei Ji came to visit me again. Then Zheng Qishuang spent 200,000 strings of cash to buy seven of my teacups. I didn't want to sell them to him because he was also named Zheng. But he seemed to think that I looked down on him if I didn't sell them to him. In the end, I had no choice but to sell the seven teacups for 200,000 strings of cash. But he went back happily as if he had found a family heirloom."

"Hiss, wow, it's really wow, two hundred thousand strings of cash, this is not a small amount." Li Daozon was a little shocked.

Li Xiaogong also gave Zheng Zhengjin a thumbs up, and thought to himself: "The Five Surnames and Seven Families are indeed rich."

"Kong Yingda asked me why I didn't repay evil with kindness when dealing with the Turks. I asked him how to repay kindness, to repay kindness with justice, and to embrace kindness with kindness. Then I asked him if he had really read the book of Confucius thoroughly. Then he fell silent, apologized to me, and left." Zheng Zhengjin shrugged.

Li Xiaogong laughed heartily without any image, "I have to say, this is a very good job. You don't know that the pens of those censors in the court are much sharper than the swords and spears on the battlefield."

Li Dao Zong also nodded and smiled, "You probably made Kong Yingda go back to study after you scolded him. But you, kid, made Yu Zhining faint with anger today. You don't know that the imperial physician who treated Yu Zhining almost failed to wake him up, and your poem has probably spread all over Chang'an now."

"Father, what poem did he write? Could it be the same poem as Pei Qian's?" Li Xueyan looked at Li Dao Zong curiously with sparkling eyes, wanting him to read it out to her.
Li Leyan, Zheng Liwan, Yu Youwei and others were also very curious about what earth-shattering things their husbands had done.

"Xiaogong, please read it again. My memory is not very good and I can't remember it all." It's not that he can't remember it all, but he is embarrassed to read the poem. After all, the poem is a bit too funny.

Li Xiaogong said with a smile: "Well, then, in "Presented to Yu Zhining", the groom is fifty and the bride is fifteen, with white hair and red makeup, tears in the mandarin duck quilt in the middle of the night, and a pear tree overshadows the crabapple tree."

Li Xueyan said viciously: "It's too abominable. Even an old cow eating young grass shouldn't eat it like this. You're still a scholar. Ugh."

Li Xueyan felt that it was not worth it for the fifteen-year-old girl, but under such circumstances, what choice did the fifteen-year-old girl have?

When this poem came out, Yu Youwei was the most touched, after all, she was once a prostitute. With hazy eyes, she looked at Zheng Zhengjin affectionately. It was this man who gave her a chance to be reborn. Now every day in the palace, she felt like she was living in a blessed nest. She never thought that one day she would be with the princess.

Princess Rencheng patted Li Xueyan's hand and comforted her, "Not everyone is as lucky as you to meet the son of the Zheng family. You know, Youwei once said that it is easy to get priceless treasures, but it is hard to find a man of your heart. So, the emperor has already granted you a marriage, so don't be ungrateful for what you have. Do you understand?"

"Mother, I know, don't worry." Li Xueyan really looked down on that old man Yu Zhining. He was so shameless.

"In fact, some people talk about morality all the time, but they are actually thieves and prostitutes behind the scenes. Let's not talk about Yu Zhining, please take a seat." Before they knew it, they had arrived at the restaurant.

Once everyone is seated, wine is naturally indispensable.

During the banquet, Li Dao Zong took out a house deed, handed it to Zheng Zhengjin, and said, "This is what you won. Cui's family found many talented people in three days, but none of them could come up with a couplet. But if you want to take this house deed to Wangjiang Tower, remember to write the second couplet, so that others can be convinced." Zheng Zhengjin took the house deed and smiled, "Well, I have to thank you for this. Haha, I'm really happy to get a building for free. It's just a second couplet, it's not difficult for me."

"By the way, when we first arrived, we met a Taoist priest from the Imperial Observatory. I wonder what he is doing here?" Li Xiaogong was a little worried. If Zheng Zhengjin was too deeply involved with the Imperial Observatory, that would not be a good thing.

"Yuan Tiangang's people sent me one thousand taels of gold and several hundred strings of copper coins as a thank-you fee from their Taoist sect." Zheng Zhengjin said.

"Ah? Why?" Li Xiaogong asked, his chopsticks stopping in the air.

"Hey, I wrote a storybook before, and I told it to Xueyan and the others when I was bored. But who knew that Taoist Yuan Tiangang asked me for it after reading it. He said that the storybook was of great help to their Taoist sect. I said it was just a token of appreciation, but who knew that he gave me a thousand taels of gold. Is the Taoist sect so rich?" To be honest, Zheng Zhengjin was very surprised. In fact, relatively speaking, he felt that the Buddhist sect was richer. After all, the Buddhist sect's bald donkeys were all fat and big-eared.

"You don't know, that bald donkey Fahai is so hateful. Because of his own selfishness, he prevented the mother and son from meeting each other. He is a bald donkey with a beast in human form. He is really hateful." Li Xueyan hated Fahai so much, as if she was White Snake.

At this time, Princess Rencheng asked: "Do you have any more? Can you let me see?"

Before Zheng Zhengjin could answer, Li Xueyan said, "Mother, I'll get it for you after dinner. I have one too."

"Okay," Princess Rencheng smiled.

Zheng Zhengjin estimated that no matter how good-tempered Princess Rencheng was, she would probably curse at Xu Xian and Fahai when she saw such talents.

Both princes drank to their heart's content, but neither of them got drunk. Although the wine was fragrant, neither of them felt the need to drink more.

After dinner, everyone retreated to the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

Li Dao Zong looked at the area surrounded by the barrier curiously and asked, "What are you surrounding there? It feels very strange."

"That's the new house for me and my wife." Zheng Zhengjin didn't plan to install it. Although it didn't exist yet, it would be there as long as he asked He Yong to remove the wooden boards on the outside.

"Your palace's courtyard is so big, why are you still renovating it?" Li Daozong had just finished speaking when Princess Rencheng gently twisted the flesh on her waist. This was her son-in-law's own business, why were you asking so many questions?

"Hehe, don't mind it. I'm just curious." Li Daozon knew that he had said something wrong and apologized quickly.

Zheng Zhengjin smiled and replied, "No problem." At this time, Li Xueyan and Digua came to the princess with a few copies of "The Legend of the White Snake" and handed them to her obediently, saying, "Mother, this is the storybook written by the young master."

Princess Rencheng took a look and said, "Wow, wow, it's so thick."

But she didn't say much, just said thank you to Li Xueyan, and then started reading the book seriously.
