Daqing: Reborn Prince, intercepting Si Lili at the beginning

"Puchi!" The girls next to them couldn't help but laugh out loud when they heard that.

Wang Qinian also laughed.

"Your Highness, that's an interesting analogy. Alas! I, Wang Qinian, have truly become an abandoned widow!"

"Okay, you don't have any worries now, right?" Li Chengyuan handed Wang Qinian a skewer of meat.

"That's all! Wang Qinian said with a smile: "As long as Your Highness doesn't blame me, I promise to eat everything with relish! Oh, right..."

Wang Qinian took a bite of meat and said, "Your Highness, then can't you tell Fan Xian about our relationship?"

"Nonsense! What do you think?" Li Chengyuan rolled his eyes and said, "If you let Fan Xian know about our relationship, it would ruin everything for me. I'd be really angry then!"

Wang Qinian hurriedly said, "Understood! Your Highness, don't worry. I promise I won't let Fan Xian find out!"

"You'd better be careful!" Li Chengyuan said, "Fan Xian is extremely smart, he can tell if there's anything wrong with you.

So next time you mention me in front of Fan Xian, you'd better say more bad things about me. Of course, you have to tell the truth, such as I am lustful and greedy for money, etc. Don't slander or defame me!

Anyway, remember, from now on, you and Fan Xian are of the same mind. Just forget about me, understand?"

Wang Qinian sighed, "I understand, but it's a little difficult!"

Li Chengyuan said calmly: "I will give you one hundred taels every month from now on!"

"It's not difficult, not difficult at all!" Wang Qinian stared, and instantly became energetic. "Your Highness, can you give me a banknote?"

Li Chengyuan: "......"

...

That night, Wang Qinian put his worries aside and ate until he was full before saying goodbye and leaving.

As usual, he took away a lunch box when he left!

Otherwise, Wang Qinian was loyal to Li Chengyuan.

Who else but Li Chengyuan could treat him like this?

Not only was he allowed to eat and drink for free at any time, he was also allowed to pack up his meals and even order his own food.

There are really few such family heads in the world.

Since Wang Qinian followed Li Chengyuan, not only has his wife smiled more often, but his daughter has also become plump and white, and is extremely happy every day.

That's why Wang Qinian was so conflicted today. He was really prepared to stay with Li Chengyuan even if Li Chengyuan fined him.

But he didn't expect that Li Chengyuan would give him such an order.

But it doesn't matter. He just needs to do whatever His Highness asks him to do.

Anyway, as long as His Highness doesn't drive him away, it's fine!

What's more, he had an unexpected gain today.

His Highness increased his monthly salary by fifty taels. This extra money is all his private money!

Fifty taels a month, that’s six hundred taels a year!

Now I’m really rich!

When Wang Qinian left, his feet felt light with joy!

.......

That night, Li Chengyuan did not play mahjong because he had something to do the next morning.

So after Wang Qinian left, Li Chengyuan also went back to wash up, and then went to Lu Yi's room.

According to the "rules" set by the women privately, it should be her turn today.

......

The next day, Li Chengyuan got up very early.

He has things to do today and there are exciting things to watch, so he doesn't want to miss it.

Because they had to go to the restaurant in the morning, Li Chengyuan just had a bite of breakfast and then went out with the girls.

Today's main purpose is to go out for fun, so Li Chengyuan brought several girls along.

In fact, these girls rarely go out on the street.

It’s not that Li Chengyuan doesn’t allow them to do so, but they are restraining themselves.

After all, they are Li Chengyuan's personal maids. If they always show up on the streets, it will not be good for Li Chengyuan's reputation.

So they don't go out easily.

Fortunately, the palace is very big and has everything to play with.

In addition, Li Chengyuan would give them enough money every month. Whatever they wanted to eat or play, they just had to say it, and the servants in the mansion would buy it for them. There was no need for 853 to go out on the street.

Although they were maids in name, their lives in the palace were more comfortable than those of some young ladies from aristocratic families.

......

Just as Li Chengyuan was leaving the palace, a carriage drove out of the Fan Mansion.

Sitting in the carriage were Fan Xian, Fan Ruoruo, and Fan Sizhe.

The reason they came out was because Fan Sizhe wanted to find someone to beat Fan Xian up under the pretext of treating him to a meal.

Unexpectedly, Fan Ruoruo also came.

Fan Sizhe has been afraid of Fan Ruoruo since he was a child, and Fan Ruoruo only favors his brother Fan Xian.

So if a fight really breaks out, it might be Fan Sizhe who gets beaten up.

Therefore, from the moment he left the house, Fan Sizhe twisted his butt left and right, vividly illustrating what it means to be on pins and needles!

......

At the same time, in the imperial palace and the bedroom.

Emperor Qing was in his study admiring the original copy of "Journey to the West" in the thin gold script sent by Li Chengyuan, when he heard Eunuch Hou coming over with small steps and reporting in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, Fan Xian is traveling with Si Nanbo's legitimate son. They should be heading to Yishiju or Youweixuan!"

"Youweixuan... Li Chengyuan's business?"

"Your Majesty, it is the property of the Third Prince, located across from Yishiju. It is said that the Third Prince even wrote a poem for Youweixuan!"

"Hmm! I know that poem. It's very well written!"

"By the way, Your Majesty, I just received news that the Third Prince has also taken the maids from the palace out to the streets. Judging from their route, it seems they are also going to Yishiju or Youweixuan!"

"Ok?"

"Li Chengyuan went there in person?"

"Yes!" Eunuch Hou laughed, "It's said that the Third Prince is a true character. The Crown Prince and the Second Prince both sent their followers to secretly follow Fan Xian, but the Third Prince always goes out in person!"

Emperor Qing's eyes narrowed as he ordered, "Have someone keep a close eye on them. I want to know every word they say and every action they take! Have them remember everything carefully, and not miss a single detail!"

"Yes!" Eunuch Hou was startled and turned around to do it.

After the eunuch left, Emperor Qing held up the book "Journey to the West" in his hand and muttered to himself, "The stone monkey has appeared. I want to see who are the loyal heavenly soldiers and generals in this vast land, and who are the seven monsters of Flower-Fruit Mountain who are fighting against the heavens!"

.......

At nine o'clock in the morning, because Fan Xian had to deal with Fan Sizhe beating him, Li Chengyuan's carriage arrived at Youweixuan first.

Youweixuan is one of the restaurants opened by Wan Sanqian in Kyoto City according to Li Chengyuan's instructions.

Thanks to Li Chengyuan's ideas, Youweixuan not only has a grand and beautiful interior design, but also has a wide variety of delicious food. Some of the recipes even came from Prince Li's Mansion.

The cooks in Prince Li’s Mansion come from the world in the snow, so the dishes they cook have a unique flavor for the people in this world.

In addition, Youweixuan also trained its own storyteller.

So, Youweixuan has only been open for less than a month, but it has already become the top restaurant in all of Kyoto, bar none!

Chapter 58 Yang Wanli's sworn death-defying pursuit! Li Chengyuan's surprise!

Youweixuan is just opposite Yishiju.

I didn't mean to steal business from Yishiju.

Rather, the street where Yishiju is located is the street where dignitaries and nobles come most frequently.

But, on the entire street, only the shop opposite Yishiju is willing to sell.

So despite the suspicion of stealing business, Youweixuan still opened opposite Yishiju.

At the beginning, Yishiju was indeed very dissatisfied and even wanted to take the initiative to go to the door and cause trouble.

But as soon as the owner of Yishiju entered the lobby of Youweixuan and saw the calligraphy hanging in the center of the lobby, his originally aggressive demeanor instantly became amiable and approachable.

There was no way. The owner of Yishiju never thought that Youweixuan had such a strong background.

...

After parking the carriage, Li Chengyuan took a few women into Youweixuan.

This is his second time here.

The last time I came here, Youweixuan had just opened, and Li Chengyuan came over to give some suggestions.

As the group entered the door, they were greeted by a screen.

Passing through the screen is the lobby of Youweizhai, where more than twenty eight-person tables are neatly arranged.

The most eye-catching thing in the lobby is a large calligraphy hanging above the center of the north side of the lobby.

The calligraphy used in that piece of writing is the most popular Slender Gold style!

What is written above is the poem that Li Chengyuan wrote specifically for Youweixuan.

"The drizzle and slanting wind make the morning chilly, the light smoke and sparse willows are beautiful on the sunny beach. The clear stream gradually becomes longer and longer.

Snow foam and milk flowers float in the afternoon cup, while watercress, mugwort and bamboo shoots make a spring dish. The best thing in life is pure joy.

The original text of the third line of the first stanza of this poem should be "Entering the Huai River, the clear Luo River gradually stretches out."

The "Huai" here refers to the Huai River, and the "Luo" refers to the Luojian River, which describes the vast and boundless water.
