"Big Brother, your household registration method is too good. Today, there were several groups of sneaky people who wanted to buy more, but we found them.”
"So they are the servants of the Dugu family and the other Guanzhong aristocratic families.”
It was close to noon, and the brothers who were watching from various shops came to Li Ke's residence one after another. Everyone was in a very good mood and discussed.
"Big brother, I heard some news today.”Cheng Chu Bi suddenly reminded him solemnly,"Some people say that big brother's glass making method was inspired by the chicken in the palace. Many people want to get a chicken from your palace.”
Li Ke smiled and said,"I didn't expect the chickens in my residence to be so precious. It seems that I have to pass on the word to the people in the residence to take good care of my chickens."”
The brothers couldn't help but laugh.
Zhangsun Chong found a gap and came to Li Ke's side. He hesitated and said,"Big brother, this rumor seems to have come from my aunt's palace.”
Zhangsun Chong hesitated for a long time before making this decision.
Li Ke understood what Zhangsun Chong meant. After hearing the rumors, he knew that it must have come from the Empress's palace.
After all, he had only mentioned this to the Celestial Empress before.
However, he had already guessed the Empress 'intentions.
He was very grateful.
He patted Zhangsun Chong's shoulder and said,""Don't think so much. Mother is giving me a chance to make a fortune.”
What?
Zhangsun Chong looked at Li Ke in astonishment.
"Big Brother, you mean those people can't learn how to make glass even if they get the chicken?"”
"Of course,"
Li Ke continued with an evil smile." When you go back later, go catch a chicken and bring it home. Remember, you must keep an eye on this chicken. Once the chicken drops something like glass, you must vigorously promote it!”
He did not know if the chicken could pull down the glass after eating the sand.
However, Li Ke knew that if the chicken ate the glass, it would definitely be able to pull down the glass.
After hearing the rumor, Li Ke secretly fed every chicken in the house with glass shards.
Anyway, chickens loved to eat this kind of thing that helped with digestion.
Zhangsun Chong immediately understood.
This news had spread from the Zhangsun Clan, and all the servants of the Zhangsun Clan had seen it. It would definitely make people believe it even more!
"Alright, I understand. Just wait and see!”Zhangsun Chong teased.
"Royal brother, royal brother…"
While Li Ke and his brothers were eating, Li Tai's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
Li Tai barged straight in. Without seeing anyone, he begged to admit his mistake." Royal brother, I really know my mistake. Don't ignore me…"
When he saw the pairs of eyes staring at him, he immediately felt very embarrassed.
This embarrassing scene was actually seen by this group of bastards.
The little fatty was really bold.
After thinking for a short while, he decided that since he had been seen, he might as well do it thoroughly.
In any case, at Tumen Pass, he was scolded by Li Ke like a third grandson. These guys also saw it.
It was worth it for the chicken of the Wu Estate!
As long as he could obtain the chicken from King Wu's estate and study the mystery within, he would be able to obtain the chicken.
He would be able to cooperate with the Shi clan.
Relying on glass items to rope in a large number of aristocrats!
Li Ke was a fool. He had something that could quickly make friends with the gentry, but he didn't use it. Instead, he became incompatible with the gentry.
He would not make the same mistake.
Thinking of this, Li Tai walked to Li Ke's side and bowed deeply.""Imperial brother, this little brother is short-sighted and doesn't know of your good intentions. This little brother knows his mistake and doesn't ask for your forgiveness.”
"Little brother only heard that royal brother's chicken can lay colored glaze and was very curious. He hoped that royal brother could give little brother a chicken from the prince's mansion.”
"Big brother, cousin is very sincere in admitting his mistake. Why don't we let him punish himself by drinking three cups?”Zhangsun Chong smiled and helped.
Li Tai suddenly felt that this cousin of his was closer than ever.
He immediately picked up the cup and said,"I'm willing to punish myself with three cups."”Then, he drank three glasses in a row.
" Second brother…look…" Li Tai immediately looked at Li Ke shyly. He didn't even call him brother anymore and used the more intimate second brother title.
"Alright, stop being mushy. Sit down and eat together. When we leave later, I'll get the manager to bring you a chicken.”Li Ke suppressed the smile in his heart.
At this moment, Wu Meiniang walked in from outside and came to Li Ke's side. She handed him an invitation card,""Your Highness, the Crown Prince Residence has sent an invitation. The Crown Prince is coming to visit you tomorrow.”
Li Tai's expression changed. He immediately understood that the Crown Prince had the same idea.
"Yes, I understand."
"Everyone, continue eating."
After the meal, Li Tai was drunk as he carried a chicken he had personally picked out from the king's mansion.
He didn't even need to be carried by his followers, as if he was afraid that his followers would break it.
Soon, the news spread. The Crown Prince's Residence, the Wei Residence, and the Zhangsun Residence each received three of the most precious chickens from the Wu Residence.
The gentry of Chang 'an City instantly looked at the three families.
"Cui Lao, did the Zhangsun Manor's chickens eat Liuli?”
"This is the best chance to verify the authenticity of the news!”
……
Cui Yingying looked at her uncles and even her grandfather staring at a chicken and found it funny.
"Grandpa, uncles, I'm afraid this is a joke."”If she had believed that piece of news before, she would not have believed it.
Now, she was wavering.
In Cui Yingying's eyes, His Highness Ke was someone who wanted to fight for the throne.
Would such a person give a chicken that could lay golden eggs to the King of Wei and the Crown Prince?
Impossible!
"Let's take a look first. What if it's true?”Dugu Yanwen said.
……
Zhangsun Manor.
At night, Zhangsun Wuji returned from court and came to the garden in the manor. He looked at the chicken coop in the garden and asked the servant guarding the chicken coop,""How is it? Did the chicken get Azurite today?”
"Master, not yet."
"Keep an eye on it. As soon as there's any news, tell me!”
One morning.
Zhangsun Wuji was about to go to court when an excited shout suddenly came from the manor.
"I'm going down!"
"Old Master, it's time for Liuli!"
……
The Zhangsun Manor instantly boiled over.
Zhangsun Chong was woken up by the noise. He looked at the agitated faces of his family members and quietly covered his face.
The Zhangsun Clan's chicken had really given birth to Liu Li!
The news spread like a gust of wind throughout Chang 'an.
"I've already confirmed that the Zhangsun family's Liu Li is the chicken that has fallen!”
"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer. Let's see the situation of the Crown Prince's Residence and the Wei Prince's Residence.”
……
Cui Yingying was dumbfounded and doubted her judgment. Did His Highness Ke really not have any intention of competing for the throne?
In the residence of Li Ke.
Zhangsun Chong yawned and smiled bitterly." Big Brother, after the mystery is revealed, I'll stay in your residence for a while. You don't know, but my house was so lively today. If I hadn't stopped it, that chicken would have almost been placed on my family's spiritual altar."”
Haha...
The brothers all laughed.
Li Ke coughed and said,"You can stay as long as you want."”
Zhangsun Huan smiled evilly and said," These few days, I went to the Crown Prince's Residence and the Wei Prince's Residence under the guise of visiting my two cousins. Those two treated the two chickens with even more respect. They were all served by special palace maids and fed with fine rice.”
" Your Highness, Your Highness..." When the brothers were laughing again, Wu Meiniang jogged back and said while panting,""The Prince of Wei's Mansion has set off firecrackers!”
Puff!
After hearing this, the group of people spat out the tea in their mouths.
On the third day.
Another piece of news came. The King of Wei hired the best chef to kill the chicken and found many scholars to study it. They found a large amount of glass and sand in the chicken gizzard, but they still could not figure out the principle.
As a result, the chicken was stinky and he had to give up.
In the crown prince's residence.
Li Chengqian reprimanded his subordinates in the garden."The Zhangsun Manor's and the Wei Manor's have all gone rancid. Why hasn't our chicken gone rancid yet?”
"How do you feed them?!"
"Servants deserve to die, please calm your anger, Crown Prince!”
The group of Crown Prince's palace maids and eunuchs were so frightened that they knelt down and trembled.
Li Chengqian was not in a hurry because Li Tai's research had no results. If Li Tai discovered anything, he would definitely kill these useless slaves in front of him.
Li Chengqian could not wait any longer. He turned his gaze to the chicken in his uncle's house.
At this time, the Wu Estate also released news that in three days, the Wu Estate would auction the most precious chicken in the estate!
"Big brother, the chicken in the Wei Estate was stinky in the end, and there was no discovery. Now that the news is released for auction, will anyone believe it?”Qin Huaiyu said in a steady and worried manner.
He felt that his brother had given away too many chickens.
If they didn't discover it, it would make those people suspicious of this matter, and they wouldn't have the chance to scam them.
Li Ke smiled and said," Don't worry. Zhangsun Chong has already returned home. Today, the Zhangsun Clan's chicken will enter his stomach. During the process of killing the chicken, we will find that there is also Liu Li in the chicken's gizzard!"”
"This will further prove that the secret of glass has something to do with chickens!”
"Don't underestimate those people's desire for glass technology. During this period of time, the old brothers in the old barracks caught a few people who wanted to sneak in. Those who want to get the secret of glass manufacturing won't care about spending some money.”
Li Ke was very confident.
In this era where even auspicious signs were believed, his chicken was really made of glass. The evidence was clear. He did not believe that there was anyone who did not believe it!
Even if he didn't believe it, he would force the other party to believe it.
He would use his actions to tell those people that there were not many opportunities.
