Daqing: Reborn Prince, intercepting Si Lili at the beginning

But the Qing Kingdom had neither the Huai River nor the Luo River.

However, there is a Li River around Kyoto, and Liujing River is a tributary of Qingjiang River.

So Li Chengyuan changed this sentence to "Ruli Qingliu", which means "When in Rome, do as the Romans do!"

There was Li Chengyuan's signature on the back of the calligraphy, so when the owner of Yishiju saw it, he never dared to find fault again.

The reason why Youweizhai’s business is so good is also closely related to Li Chengyuan’s calligraphy.

Many literati and poets came to Youweixuan just because of this calligraphy, just to admire Li Chengyuan's calligraphy.

After all, although Li Chengyuan has quite a few works, not many of his calligraphy works have been circulated, and they are even very rare.

Many people are still using the original newspaper to imitate the Song Dynasty style.

The fonts printed in newspapers only have the shape but not the rhythm!

So ever since they heard that Youweixuan had the authentic copy of the Third Prince's Slender Gold script, all the literati and poets in Kyoto flocked to it.

After Li Chengyuan and others came in, they saw a strange scene.

The restaurant, which should have been noisy, was now very quiet.

Everyone was speaking in a self-consciously low voice.

Because everyone was copying the font while eating.

On many dining tables, half is filled with food and wine, and the other half is filled with the four treasures of the study.

It can be said that in all of Kyoto, the only tavern where you can write while eating is Youweixuan.

"What a beautiful line! The best part of life is pure joy!" After reading the poem, Green Ant couldn't help but praise it, "Every time I read your poem, it feels like drinking a glass of fine wine. It truly intoxicates me!"

"Your Highness's talent is truly unattainable!" Hongshu sighed.

"Okay, stop complimenting me. There are so many people here, let's go upstairs first!"

Li Chengyuan rubbed Green Ant's head, then asked the girls to go upstairs.

Youweixuan has three floors, with private rooms on the second and third floors.

In the middle of the third floor, there is a private room with the highest number of honor, which is only open to Li Chengyuan.

This private room was designed by Li Chengyuan himself. The decoration inside is warm and comfortable, low-key and luxurious.

The most special thing is that Li Chengyuan specially asked Wan Sanqian to do professional sound insulation for this private room to ensure that people outside cannot hear what is said in the room!

......

After Li Chengyuan and others entered the private room, the waiter naturally took the initiative to serve wine and food!

However, all the food and drinks they served had to be inspected by Sweet Potato first.

Only after confirming that there is no problem will it be given to Li Chengyuan to eat.

Li Chengyuan acquiesced to this.

Although he is immune to all poisons, the Blue Bird girls do not have this natural physique.

Therefore, these inspections are extremely necessary.

Soon, fruit snacks, fine wine and delicious food were served.

Just as Li Chengyuan and others were about to start eating, the waiter knocked on the door and reported that someone wanted to see him.

Hongshu went out immediately and brought Yang Wanli back after a while.

"Student greets His Highness!"

Yang Wanli was specially called over by Li Chengyuan.

Li Chengyuan looked at Yang Wanli.

He and Yang Wanli haven't seen each other for a long time.

During this period, Yang Wanli had been writing books at Qiankun Bookstore and made a lot of money.

I heard that he has bought a house in Kyoto.

Li Chengyuan originally thought that Yang Wanli would become a "nouveau riche", but he did not expect that Yang Wanli was still dressed simply, in a blue cloth shirt, not made of expensive material, and similar to what he wore before, except that there were no patches on the clothes now.

"Wanli is here? Come and sit down!"

At the square table, Li Chengyuan asked Yang Wanli to sit on the left, and Lao Huang sat on the right.

The women sat at another square table.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Yang Wanli took off his shoes and sat down cross-legged.

Li Chengyuan asked curiously, "Wanli, I heard you've become rich and even bought a house, so why are you still dressed so plainly?"

Hearing this, Yang Wanli said shyly: "Your Highness, I bought a house to start a family. Clothes are just external things. They can keep you warm. There is no need to dress too well!"

"Then what are you going to do with all the money you earn and save instead of spending it?" Li Chengyuan asked again.

Yang Wanli replied, "Your Highness, money is a necessity and will be needed sooner or later. I have enough food and clothing now, so there is no need to waste money. So it is better to save the money and wait for the opportunity in the future to use it to do what is right!"

"Then what should we do?" Li Chengyuan asked again.

Yang Wanli thought for a moment and said seriously, "Provide relief to disaster victims, support the elderly and children, build bridges and roads, and educate people!"

After listening to this, Li Chengyuan was silent for a moment, then raised his glass and said to Yang Wanli, "Come on, Wanli, I'll toast you!"

Yang Wanli hurriedly raised his glass and said, "I dare not, it should be my students toasting Your Highness!"

Li Chengyuan smiled, clinked glasses with Yang Wanli, and then they both drank it in one gulp.

Li Chengyuan picked up the peanuts on the table, first gave a handful to Yang Wanli, then grabbed another handful for himself, eating while saying: "Wanli, since you became my disciple, you have never taken the initiative to come to me. Is it because of my bad reputation that you feel conflicted?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Wanli quickly denied it, "No..."

However, before Yang Wanli could finish his words, Li Chengyuan interrupted him and said, "Wanli, I want to hear the truth!"

"This..." Yang Wanli was silent, with a little embarrassment on his face, not knowing what to say.

Although he didn't say a word, Li Chengyuan already understood.

Li Chengyuan was not angry at all, but smiled and said: "Wanli, to be honest, I am actually very happy that you have some opinions about me.

I chose you because of your uprightness and passion.

If one day, your passion cools, then I will be disappointed in you!"

Yang Wanli originally thought that Li Chengyuan was going to bring him to justice, but after hearing what Li Chengyuan said, Yang Wanli felt that he finally saw the Third Prince whom he had admired before.

"Your Highness, since you say so, Wanli dare not lie!"

Looking at Li Chengyuan, Yang Wanli said seriously:

“I’ve been really conflicted lately.

Because in the past few months, all the news I've heard about you has been negative."

"What do they say about me?" Li Chengyuan asked curiously.

Yang Wanli was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

Seeing this, Li Chengyuan turned to Jian Jiuhuang and asked, "Old Huang, do you know?"

"I know!" Old Huang said with a smile while drinking happily, "Your Highness, what they said was very unpleasant. They said you were greedy for money and lustful, competing with the people for profit, not striving for progress, and wasting your talents..."

"that's it?"

Old Huang laughed and said, "No! These are the best ones, there are many worse ones!"

"Enough, that's enough!" Li Chengyuan hurriedly stopped him!

There is no need to say more about this!

Li Chengyuan turned to look at Yang Wanli and said softly:

"Wanli, I know you are confused.

But you don’t actually need to worry about it.

You and I are in different positions, so I cannot tell you in detail what I do.

And I can't empathize with your thoughts.

So, just don't think about anything.

Your wish is to be an official, a good official who can do good things for the people of the world.

If so, then you should work towards this goal.

And I am your greatest supporter.

What I do is not important to you!

As long as I can protect you, you can continue to follow me and trust me.

If one day you feel that I have gone against you, then if you want to leave me, I will never stop you, how about that? "

After hearing this, Yang Wanli was deeply moved.

He was not a piece of wood, so he could naturally feel how good Li Chengyuan was to him.

But the more this happened, the more conflicted Yang Wanli became.

"But Your Highness, I want to help you!"

Li Chengyuan smiled and said, "You can help me if you want! But the prerequisite is that you can trust me. No matter what I do, no matter what I ask you to do, I will only let you help me if you trust me!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Wanli immediately stated, "Your Highness, I believe in you! Although I may not be one-tenth as talented as you, I will persevere! When I had nothing, you gave me hope and a future.

I believe that a person who can write a poem like "May we live long and share the beauty of the moon together even though we are thousands miles apart" can never be a wicked person!

So, Your Highness, I still say the same thing: Wanli is willing to follow you to the death, and I am willing to believe in you forever!"

Li Chengyuan asked, "What if one day I do something that you cannot accept?"

Yang Wanli said without hesitation: "Then I will retire to my hometown and never appear in the world again!"

Li Chengyuan looked at Yang Wanli, feeling both emotional and relieved!

Li Chengyuan raised his glass again and clinked glasses with Yang Wanli.

"Wanli, starting tomorrow, you will come back to the palace with me and be my attendant clerk!"
