In the hall, Li Jing was meeting with an important person.
"The auxiliary machinery came to my residence in the afternoon. There must be something important, right?”
This was the name of the Great Tang Sikong Zhangsun Wuji.
Although Li Jing was the Great Tang's Minister of Right Servant, also known as the Prime Minister, he was in charge of the Bureau of Military Personnel, Bureau of Punishments, and Bureau of Works.
However, there was still a gap between him and Zhangsun Wuji.
Sikong was a first rank official position, while Li Jing's Shangshu Youpushe was only a second rank official position. The difference between the two was two ranks.
Even Li Jingwei's title of Duke of Wei was only of Secondary Rank One, which was not comparable to Zhangsun Wuji's Primary Rank One.
Although Li Jing's contributions were greater than Zhangsun Wuji's, and his abilities were stronger than Zhangsun Wuji's, he was still a higher official than Zhangsun Wuji. Furthermore, he had Li Shimin, the Emperor's brother-in-law, and Empress Zhangsun, his sister, behind him. He could be said to be the most powerful person in the Great Tang.
He was below one person and above ten thousand people!
Zhangsun Wuji stroked his beard and laughed loudly."Apothecary, you can't say that. Can't I come here to visit you, a hero who has made great contributions to the Great Tang? Madam Li, am I right?"
The Madam Li he was referring to was Li Chenyang's mother, Li Jing's first wife, Zhang Chuchen. She was also known as the Red Horsetail Whisk Girl and was one of the famous Three Heroes of Wind and Dust. She was very famous in the martial world.
The red horsetail whisk girl was dressed in a dazzling red dress. She nodded and smiled without saying a word.
Zhangsun Wuji knew Li Jing's character and knew that he was not a pretentious person. After exchanging pleasantries, he spoke bluntly.
"Apothecary, my Chong-er is eighteen this year and has reached the age of marriage. This morning, His Majesty told me that Princess Chang Le is twelve years old and is a cousin of my Chong-er, so he wants to marry Princess Chang Le to my Chong-er. I came here to ask Medicine Master to be a matchmaker to facilitate this beautiful thing.”
Li Jing and the red-whisked girl looked at each other. Disappointment flashed across their eyes, and they stood up to congratulate Zhangsun Wuji.
While they congratulated Zhangsun Wuji, the two of them sighed deeply for Chang Le.
A fresh flower stuck in cow dung!
Just as the three of them were chatting, Li Chenyang came into the hall.
Before Li Chenyang could say anything, a bright red light quickly approached him.
"Yang 'er, how are you feeling today?”
Li Chenyang didn't even need to think about it. In Duke Wei's mansion, who else would dare to wear red except for his mother?
Li Chenyang couldn't stand this kind of straightforward concern and shrank back.""Yes, yes, much better. Mother, give me the money. I want to squander!”
Puchi...
Li Jing and Zhangsun Wuji, who had just sat down and drank a mouthful of tea, spat out the high-quality tea that they had not swallowed.
Cough, cough, cough…
Li Jing's face was filled with embarrassment as he coughed non-stop.
After all, Zhangsun Wuji was an experienced person. He understood Li Jing's embarrassment. He tried his best to hold back his laughter, but his old face was flushed red.
The red-whisked girl gently stroked Li Chenyang's head and said in a gentle voice,""Alright, alright, alright, Yang 'er, whatever you want, mother will give it to you. Qian 'er, go to the treasury and get a hundred taels of gold for your third brother.”
Qian 'er, whose name was Li Deqian, was the eldest son of Li Jinghe and the Red Horsetail Girl, and Li Chenyang's elder brother.
Li Deqian touched his head and smiled." Mother, can you give me some money? It's not much. Just one or two gold coins will do."”
Her second son, Li Dejiang, was also looking at her expectantly.
The red-whisked woman did not say much. Her face sank, scaring Li Deqian into leaving immediately. Li Deqian looked down at the floor obediently, not daring to breathe loudly.
Zhangsun Wuji secretly shook his head slightly. This difference in treatment was too obvious.
Not long after, Li Deqian carried a hundred taels of gold and walked to Li Chenyang and the red-whisk girl.
The red horsetail whisk girl placed the gold on Li Chenyang's wooden couch and said gently,""Yang Er, buy whatever you want. After you spend it, ask your mother for more.”
Li Chenyang took a glance at the gold and noticed that his two elder brothers were so aggrieved that tears were welling up in their eyes. He asked his elder brother, Li Deqian,""Big Brother, how much do you spend on your allowance every month?”
"About ten strings of coins a month, equivalent to one tael of gold," Li Deqian said weakly.”
Eldest Brother took one tael every month, but she took a hundred taels at a time. Mother was too biased.
"So little!"
Li Chenyang pointed at the gold and said,"Divide this hundred taels of gold with Second Brother!"”
After saying that, Li Chenyang spread his hands at the red-whisked girl."Mother, I've spent all the money. Give me some more. I want to squander.”
The red-whisked girl was both angry and amused. Li Jing was furious. He was about to curse when the red-whisked girl glared at him, forcing him to change his words.
"The two of you, hurry up and go to the treasury and bring the gold to your brother!”
Zhangsun Wuji looked at Li Chenyang's prodigal appearance and compared it to his eldest son, Zhangsun Chong. A sense of pride welled up in his heart.
What's the use of you, Li Jing? Look at your lazy and extravagant son.
A tiger father and dog son!
Of course, Li Chenyang didn't know what Zhangsun Wuji was thinking and couldn't be bothered to think about it.
The most important thing for him now was to go to the auction house in Xi City and squander so that he could get attribute points to save his life!
After receiving the money, Li Chenyang immediately ordered the servant,""Hurry up and go to the Xi City Auction House. I'm in a hurry to squander. I feel uncomfortable if I don't squander for a day!”
As soon as Li Chenyang finished speaking, Li Jing's foot condition worsened…
