"What a talented scholar."
Li Shi Min liked this kind of person who was talented but unwilling to take advantage of others. He shook his sleeves and said,"I approve. Also, do you have a house in Chang 'an?”
"I have no home to return to." Jiang Yi shook his head and said dejectedly,""Before my father went out to sea, he sold his ancestral home and used the silver he got to build a boat. Now, he has a lot of skills, but he has nowhere to go.”
"I will give you a house now, it is near the Public House. Go home and rest for a few days. After a while, I will send someone to check your refined salt production method. I hope you won't miss my expectations.”
Li Shi Min was quite generous. With a wave of his hand, he gave Jiang Yi a house in a neighboring market to Cheng Yaojin.
The Emperor was not stupid.
Although he had just met Jiang Yi, he was still very useful.
"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness." Jiang Yi quickly knelt down on one knee.
The Great Tang was still the best. He could get a big house just by bragging.
"Hahahaha…"
Cheng Yaojin was the proudest. He walked over with a big belly and hugged Jiang Yi. He liked him very much."Kid, seeing that you're about the same age as Mo 'er, I'll call you nephew. Nephew, although your parents are in trouble, I, Old Cheng, will treat you like your parents.”
"Thank you, Uncle Cheng." Jiang Yi looked very touched, and his eyes turned red.
"Child, let Mo 'er show you around. My other two brats and a bunch of princes are playing in the backyard. You guys go over and have a chat too. Young people have more topics to talk about.”
Cheng Yaojin had three sons after all. He pushed Jiang Yi's shoulder and watched the two leave. He could not help but sigh.
Li Shiming and the others also watched Cheng Chumo and Jiang Yi slowly leave the guest hall. They immediately lost their composure. Some of them were holding long knives and looking at them endlessly. Some of them were holding barbecue grills. Some of them were curiously tasting the refined salt and chili.
"Tsk tsk! What a strange person, what a strange person…"
Wei Zheng stroked his long beard and looked into the distance at a forty-five-degree angle with one hand behind his back."With such an extraordinary person in our Great Tang, we will definitely be a thousand times stronger than the Qin Emperor and Han Wu. This is a blessing for His Majesty, a blessing for the Great Tang, and a blessing for the world!”
Just as these old guys were thinking about their future, Cheng Chumo and Jiang Yi came to the backyard of the Cheng family's courtyard.
In ancient times, a large mansion, especially one like the High Duke's Public House, would have a few entrances and exits. Although it could not compare to the Imperial Palace, it was still very large. There was a back garden, a room for the servants, and so on. It was simply too f * cking flashy.
Before the two of them reached the entrance of the backyard, they heard cheers and joy coming from inside. It was extremely lively.
As soon as they entered, Cheng Chumo grabbed Jiang Yi's arm and leaned over.""What's the matter that made you so happy?"
After saying that, he looked up and saw a few young men in golden and jade robes. He hurriedly bowed and said,"This lowly subject greets Your Highness, greets Princess!”
"Hey, Chumo, there are no outsiders here, so why are you treating me like an outsider?”
A young man in a golden robe rushed forward and stopped Cheng Chumo. He shook his head and said,"Imperial Father and the others are playing their own game, while we are playing ours.”
"Chumo, who is this person?"
Before Cheng Chumo could say anything, a girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed in a pink gown, and followed by a few servant girls, gradually locked their eyes on Jiang Yi.
"Oh, Princess, this person is a friend of mine. His name is Jiang Yi.”
Then, Cheng Chumo told them about what happened to Jiang Yi in the guest hall. He talked about salt, chili, utensils, long knives, food, and so on. The princes and princesses were so shocked that their eyeballs almost fell out of their sockets.
"Is…is that true?"
Crown Prince Li Chengqian was the least calm. His cheeks trembled as he asked,""Chumo, did Imperial Father really bestow him with a residence? Is he really that powerful?"
"Your Highness, Chumo wouldn't dare lie to you.”Cheng Chumo nodded.
"What a powerful person."
Li Chengqian was the Crown Prince, so he was naturally concerned about state affairs. He carefully looked at Jiang Yi's clothes and found them to be more and more extraordinary. He then asked,""Jiang Yi, we were just discussing hunting outside the city. Since you're here, let's go together. Remember, before father, we were all brothers and sisters. There was no difference in status. My father won't allow his brothers to be too humble, and I won't allow my brothers to be too humble.”
"Commoner…"
Just as Jiang Yi was about to speak, a princess beside him giggled."How silly. His Highness already said that there is no hierarchy. You're still a commoner."
"Um…"
"Alright, alright. You guys wait here first. We'll go prepare the tools.”
Li Chengqian seemed to have something to ask Cheng Chumo. He deliberately found an excuse and left in a hurry, leaving only Jiang Yi, the princess, and a group of maids and servants waiting.
Once he left, the princess put her hands behind her back and walked up to Jiang Yi with a mischievous smile."Do you know who I am?"
Jiang Yi only knows that you're a princess." Jiang Yi slowly put on airs. It was fine if he respected his family, but it was not his style to lower his voice in front of a woman.
"I am Princess Qinghe."
Jiang Yi was dumbfounded. Wasn't she Cheng Chumo's future wife? However, he didn't look very old.
"You've already given things to Imperial Father and the others. Do you have any treasures for me?”Princess Qinghe placed her hands behind her back. She felt that this person was dressed very strangely. Moreover, he had such a powerful ability. It must be very fun.
"Uh…Jiang Yi seems to have one.”
Jiang Yi seemed to have performed a magic trick as he took out two pieces of plastic paper from his pocket. As soon as he handed them over, Princess Qinghe was stunned."What is this?"
"Princess, this is a private item that only women can have. It's called stockings.”
Jiang Yiyi's head was covered in cold sweat. Damn it, the warehouse tricked me. I actually took out such a thing from a random item. Fortunately, no one knew about this.
