Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 387 Damn it! Su Chen, you really deserve to die!

"Brother, am I dazzled?"

"What's wrong?"

"Look over there, is that my sister and your sister?"

"My sister is in Huzhou, why is she here..."

Xu Qizhuang burped, snatched the wine glass from Li Jingheng's hand, and pushed a drink in front of him, "Brother Li, you should drink a drink if you can drink so much!"

"Nonsense!"

Li Jingheng pushed the drink in front of him away and snatched the glass back, "You are the one who drank too much! I definitely didn't see it wrong."

"Jingren, Jingren..."

"Hey, hey, brother, you called me?"

Li Jingren, with red cheeks, held a jar of fruit wine as big as his head and looked at him with a silly smile, "Big brother, do you want to drink too?"

have to.

Li Jingheng rolled his eyes, picked up the wine glass, and clinked it with Xu Qizhuang's. "Cheers!"

"Done!"

Xu Qizhuang grinned and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

"Hiccup..."

The night is getting darker.

The drunk people were sent back by people arranged by Su Chen.

However, Li Xueyan and Xu Hui took the initiative to stay.

"We have something to tell you!"

This conversation continued until the next day.

When Li Daozon learned that Li Xueyan had not returned all night, he felt terrible.

"father?"

Li Jingheng was dragged out of bed in a daze. When he opened his eyes, he saw Li Daozon's eyes full of anger.

"You still have the nerve to sleep?"

"what?"

Li Jingheng looked bewildered. "I don't have to go to court, so why am I not sleeping so early in the morning?"

"Let me ask you, where is Xueyan?!"

"My sister and I went to Prince Residence yesterday and came back later in the evening."

"came back?"

Li Dao Zong gritted his teeth and said, "Who told you that Xueyan is back?!"

Li Jingheng suddenly sobered up a little and looked at Li Daozon in astonishment.

Li Daozon's gloomy expression was a bit scary, and made Li Jingheng feel a hint of danger.

"father……"

"Do you know how you got back?"

"Uh……"

Li Jingheng shook his head blankly.

After drinking so much, how did he know how and when he came back?
Snapped!
Li Dao Zong raised his hand and slapped Li Jingheng on the head, "You don't even know how you came back, how can you be sure that she is back?!"

hiss!
Li Jingheng's anus suddenly tightened and his face changed drastically.

The girl didn't come back last night!

Did she go somewhere else, or did she stay at the Prince's Residence?
It would be fine if we went somewhere else, but if we stayed at the Prince Residence...

This is a serious matter!

How can you live together before getting married?

What's more, she is a princess!
If this matter gets out, will they still have any shame?
"Dad, don't worry, I'll go to Prince Residence and find my sister now!"

"hurry up!"

Li Dao Zong shouted angrily, "If you don't find Xueyan, don't come back!"

"Good good!"

Li Jingheng crawled out of the room.

Damn.

Damn it!

Su Chen, you actually left your sister in Taizi Residence.

Li Jingheng was looking furious. Just as he turned the corner, he saw Su Chen and Li Xueyan walking towards him, talking and laughing.

Hey?
Li Jingheng was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that Su Chen saw him first.

"Brother Jingheng."

"Big brother."

Li Jingheng walked over with a dark face, his eyes scanning Su Chen and Li Xueyan like a police dog.

"Brother Jingheng, what are you doing?"

"Look for her."

Li Jingheng pointed at Li Xueyan who was standing beside him.

Li Xueyan's face turned slightly red, and she lowered her head as if her secret had been discovered.

"Brother Jingheng, if you have anything to say, please go home and talk to me."

Su Chen smiled slightly, turned sideways and said, "I asked Sun Qiang and the others to prepare some gifts and prepare to visit the prince. Is the prince in the mansion?"

"Yes, of course."

The coldness on Li Jingheng's face disappeared, and he smiled and hooked his arm around Su Chen's shoulders, "Don't say I didn't remind you, my father knows what happened last night, and he's in a very bad mood now."

"If you go now, you will most likely be hung up and beaten by my father."

"That's not the case."

Su Chen smiled and shook his head, "I think King Jiangxia is more reasonable."

Reasonable?

Are you trying to reason with my dad?

Li Jingheng looked at the gifts that Sun Qiang and the others were holding with a half-smile, "What gifts have you prepared? Let me help you take a look."

“The gift is not important, what matters is the thought behind it.”

"Hey, I can't argue with you."

Li Jingheng rolled his eyes.

But then again, what would be missing in Prince Jiangxia's Palace?
When he arrived at the palace, Su Chen saw Li Daozon, who had a gloomy face and came after hearing the voice.

Li Dao Zong glanced at Li Xueyan and said coldly, "Xueyan, go back and rest first." "Father..."

"Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for him."

Li Daozon waved his hand, and Li Xueyan hesitated and went back to the yard first.

Li Dao Zong waved to Su Chen, then walked into the main hall and sat down, "Mr. Su, you have become very famous recently, and you have become more domineering in your actions."

"The prince is joking."

Su Chen smiled calmly, "It's just that I can't help myself."

Li Dao Zong snorted coldly, "That's it?"

Su Chen took out many gifts and said with a smile: "Originally, the prince wanted to come with me today, but I felt it was not appropriate, so I did not agree."

Li Dao Zong raised his eyebrows, and Su Chen continued: "But the prince said that if Xue Yan and I get married, he will arrange it himself."

Li Dao Zong's expression improved a little, "That's all?"

Su Chen said again: "The prince also said that the emperor will show up at that time."

Li Dao Zong raised his eyebrows, the coldness on his face disappeared, and he looked a little more gentle, "But I heard that Miss Xu from Huzhou was also in your Prince's Residence yesterday."

Su Chen nodded, "Your Majesty, I understand."

Li Dao Zong: "Is there any explanation for this matter?"

Su Chen shook his head.

Li Dao Zong leaned forward and said seriously, "If you like Miss Xu, I won't object, but Xueyan must be the first wife."

Su Chen: "..."

Li Dao Zong sat up straight and picked up the teacup slowly. "According to etiquette, choose an auspicious day and come to the palace to propose marriage."

Su Chen nodded, "No problem."

Li Dao Zong nodded with great satisfaction, then turned his gaze to Li Jingheng who was eating melons on the side and glared at him, "What are you still looking at? Why don't you take Su Chen for a walk?"

"No need."

Su Chen stood up and said, "Your Highness, I have been away from Chang'an for some time. Now that I have returned, there are still some trivial matters that need to be dealt with."

"Alright."

Li Dao Zong nodded and said, "You, go with me and see if there's anything I can do to help."

"oh oh."

Li Jingheng smiled awkwardly and left with Su Chen.

After making sure that Li Dao Zong couldn't see the two of them, Li Jingheng breathed a sigh of relief, "That was a close call."

"what?"

"You don't know, I was dragged away by my father before I was sober."

Li Jingheng raised his hand and gestured, "If I can't find Xueyan and there's no reasonable explanation, I think I might be dead."

"That's not the case."

Su Chen smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go to Jiang Wuyang's place."

Li Jingheng agreed immediately.

Just look at Li Daozon’s attitude towards Su Chen and you will know that his eldest son has become dispensable.

If Li Daozon is displeased, he will inevitably be punished.

It’s better to stay out of the spotlight first.

"Sir?"

"Please come in, sir."

After seeing Su Chen and the other two, Jiang Wuyang happily invited them into the shop, and then ordered someone to bring them tea.

Compared to before, the shop has not only expanded in size, but the styles of stoves and types of coal in the shop are also dazzling.

"You're really good at business."

Li Jingheng smacked his lips. It had only been a short while since they started working, but they had already sold more than a dozen stoves and several thousand coal briquettes.

Jiang Wuyang smiled and said, "They are just some retail investors. The real big investors haven't come yet."

“Retail investors?”

"Some people just buy them for their own use, so the quantity purchased is not large."

"What if it's a big household?"

“Most of them carry hundreds of stoves at a time and tens of thousands of coal briquettes at a time.”

"..."

Li Jingheng was silent.

This is not a business at all, it's clearly a money-making machine.

"How is the output of coal? Can it keep up?"

"It is quite enough."

Li Jingheng smiled and said, "After the previous expansion, the daily output of coal can now reach tens of thousands of kilograms, and the number of coal briquettes can reach up to 100,000 per day."

"By the way, sir, we have been researching a new small stove recently, and there are already quite a few foreign business travelers who are interested in establishing long-term cooperation with us."

Su Chen smiled and said, "This is a good thing."

The fact that they made improvements and produced products based on the original ones fully proves that they have sufficient understanding of the heating method of the stove.

"Sir, would you like to take a look?"

"Okay."

Su Chen nodded and followed Jiang Wuyang to the small workshop where the new furnace was being researched.

As before, there were people guarding outside the small workshop to ensure that the production method would not be stolen by others.

"Sir, please look, these are the new stoves we built."

Jiang Wuyang pointed to the half-meter-high stove in front of him and introduced it with a smile: "Compared to the stove made by the young master, the cost of this stove is extremely low, and most of them are made of clay."

"Using at most ten briquettes a day is enough to meet the food needs of a family, and compared with the previous stove, it is lighter and more convenient."

Su Chen was immediately happy. Isn't this the honeycomb coal stove that is common in later generations?

It is made of clay and covered with a fired ceramic sleeve, which can hold three coal balls.

Not only is it very convenient for cooking in daily life, but more importantly, it is small in size and light in weight. Compared to the stove he designed, which is inconvenient to move, this stove can be lifted with one hand.

"It is indeed very light. Is it really as useful as you said?"

“The sales volume speaks for itself.”

Facing Li Jingheng's inquiry, Jiang Wuyang was full of confidence, "In addition, we have also designed a metal kettle specifically for boiling water."

"By sewing two pieces of iron sheets together and leaving a certain gap in the middle, the interior is hollow and can hold firewood. The efficiency of boiling water is much faster than these stoves."

Looking at the things in front of him, Su Chen felt as if he had returned to his childhood.

It's only been two months, isn't the development a bit too fast?
