Chapter 42 The Prince's Long History, Chang'an Rumors
The prince's men came to the door, proving that Li Ying really wanted to recruit him. Li Siye put his hands on his chest and gave a cross-handed salute to Chang Chun.
"Hello, Chang Chang."
Chang Chun snorted: "You should say pay homage to Chang Chang! Who taught you etiquette? Forget it, I don't think you are interested in responding to the prince's recruitment. You go down."
"Oh." Li Siye was about to turn around, but he felt a little strange. He called himself up and was about to rush down before he could speak?
He sat upright again and asked, "Why did Chang Chang say this?"
Changchun opened the curtain of the window and pointed to the shop opposite the street and asked: "Since you are willing to accept the prince's recruitment, why should you take over the career of this villain? A gentleman stays away from the kitchen, and officials are not close to merchants. The prince's officials are clean, and even Qianniu, under Wei, has no cheap career in his family."
"You mean this." Li Siye suddenly remembered that he brought two cakes and quickly took them out of his arms. A smell of mutton oil immediately filled the carriage.
"Chang Changshi, please taste it, this cake is very fragrant."
"Take it away! Take it away!" Chang Chun suffocated her sleeves in disgust.
"Forget it if you don't eat it."
Li Siye did not pack the cakes, but gently wrapped them in hemp paper and placed them at the bottom of the carriage.
Chang Chun swallowed and said as if nothing had happened: "The prince is respectful to the wise and the nobles. If you really want to return to the prince's disciple, then don't do such villainous things anymore. You should think about it yourself."
"Take a passenger off."
"Wait a minute." Li Siye was not prepared to work in the Prince's Mansion, but considering the current situation, it would be better to leave a way out for himself first.
"If I think about getting ready, how can I find you? Could it be that I will go directly to the East Palace?"
"No need, after you have cleaned your fortune, go directly to Prince E's mansion. At that time, someone will naturally lead you into the Prince Zhan Mansion."
"Thank you for guidance from Changshen." Li Siye was about to bow and cross his hands, but the pancake ring in his stomach was so strong that the round cast iron gradually fell down, and the belt was broken with a snap. The cast iron ring hit the bottom of the car, making a loud bang, and it started to whirlpool on the bottom of the car.
Changchun was frightened and forced her to look angry. The servant outside quickly lifted the curtain and saw that the two of them were in peace in the car, only the gloves were churning.
Li Siye apologized: "Don't be afraid, this is my meal guy. When you come out rashly and see a stranger, you must have something to guard against."
Chang Chun snorted with a gloomy expression.
"Go down."
Li Siye jumped out of the carriage with a ring, and the green horse sniffed, feeling much more relaxed.
The coachman drove the carriage away from the street. Changchun smelled the smell of scallion oil in the carriage and couldn't get rid of it. He lowered his head and saw the cake that Li Siye placed on the bottom of the car. He reached out and pinched it up, put it to his nose and sniffed it, hesitated whether to throw it out of the window.
Changchun tasted a small bite first, then started chewing it in large bites. Soon, two pieces of cake were filled into her stomach, and she was still a little unsatisfied.
"Damn it, it's quite delicious. Why don't you give me a message to the prince and let him go to the Eastern Palace Food Office."
When Li Siye returned to the store, he had already made plans in his mind, using the thousand-layer scallion cake to make some money first, and then leave the vendor business. He didn't believe that when he arrived at the Prince's Mansion, the people from the Xionghuo Gang would dare to make ground on Tai Sui's head.
Li Siye entered the shop and discussed the specific details with the three people waiting here. Then Jiang Tongbao led them to the warehouse near the release pond.
This warehouse was used by merchants in the Western Regions to stock up on cattle, sheepskin and wine blankets. It was made of thatch as a roof and was built with wooden pillars, wooden beams and thick boards. The space was wide and the goods only occupied a small part of the space.
Li Siye nodded with satisfaction. The only thing that could accommodate hundreds of people here was fire prevention. They immediately prepared, moved all their belongings from the shop, and used buckets in the warehouse to fetch water from the release pond, and filled four large water tanks for fire prevention on the four corners of the warehouse. Now everything is ready, and only the money left to collect the class tonight.
...
There is a strange case in the folklore of Chang'an City, saying that a man named Li from Gaoling passed down a recipe for making cakes from his father. This cake is different from Chang'an delicacies such as Hu cakes, macakes, soup cakes, etc. After making, it is golden and crispy, and can be divided into many layers. Li Langjun originally wanted to carry forward this cake in the western market, but unexpectedly, he was coveted by the evil forces in Chang'an City on the first day of his business. He sent villains and killers to intercept this recipe that had never been seen in a thousand years.
After this incident was reported, many people didn't believe it. It would be fine if ordinary gangsters saw that Li Langjun's business was booming and coveted his business and wanted to grab it. The Xionghuo Gang is the largest gang on the ground in Wannian County. The identity of the gang leader is mysterious. There are many luxury houses under their name, and even have tranch business in Pingkangfang. How could they be more likely to be worthy of a cake?
But more people say that they have seen the people from the Xionghuo Gang appear in the West Market with their own eyes, and some even say that the recipe of this cake is related to the life and death of the Xionghuo Gang. The boss of the Xionghuo Gang attempts to use the recipe of the cake to flatter him and pave the way for him to get promoted and make money.
People who hear the legend are full of imagination about this scallion cake. How delicious it should be to cause such an uproar.
Luo Xingchang, a member of the Jingzhao Prefecture, also heard this rumor, but he did not expect Li Siye to go to him, and instead he laughed at this in his heart, the head of the ninth-rank work department, Yu's department, who could even look down on the small food recipe, was really not generous enough to do things to compete with the people for profit.
These days he has been guarding the prince-consort's mansion. To get rid of Li Siye's affairs, he has to tell the prince-consort, otherwise the credit will be buried by then.
The prince-in-law Yang Hui only left the princess's mansion once today, but she still went out with Princess Xianyi. The princess has always disliked them, such as the outside officials, so he did not dare to go up and touch this bad luck.
When the prince-consort returned to the mansion, it was already the hour of You. If he waited any further, it would be a curfew that would soon be dark.
He gritted his teeth and made up his mind. He went to the princess's mansion again to knock on the door. When the door opened, he immediately grinned in disgust: "Why is it you again? Luo Zhanjun, I told you that the prince consort has been busy with his work recently and has not seen any foreign guests."
Luo Xingchang took out a string of copper coins in his arms with pain and stuffed them into the doorman's hand and said, "I have something important to report to the prince-consort. I'll ask you to bring me a message."
The door weighed the weight of the copper coins, squinted his eyes and put them in his sleeves, and said helplessly: "I have agreed to you, I just keep telling you. I won't guarantee that my son-in-law will not see you."
"Okay, okay, you just need to bring it to your mouth."
The door closed and went back. Luo Xingchang waited patiently outside the mansion. The sun set west along the branches of willow trees, and Luo Xingchang was also waiting more and more anxious.
When he was impatient to leave with a look of being ready to sway his sleeves, the gate of the princess's mansion creaked open. The prince-in-law Yang Hui walked out in a mysterious clothes and robe, looking cold and indifferent to others thousands of miles away.
"Luo joins the army, I am a relative of the royal family. I must not have too many personal relationships with officials. Are you going to trap me and illegally?"
"How dare you, how dare you?" Luo Xingchang said respectfully with his hands crossed his hands: "Luo Xingchang is here to report to the prince-consort."
"explain."
"I came to report to the prince-consort that the bad prince-consort's affairs, Li Siye, who disturbed the princess, would die soon."
When Yang Hui heard this, he pointed at Luo Xingchang angrily: "Have you told you? I will no longer investigate Li Siye's affairs, so don't ask me again."
Luo Xingchang shook his shoulders and said, "The noble prince is as arrogant as the sea, and he can not pursue it, but I, Luo Xingchang, can't spare him easily, and I will definitely make him die without a place to bury him."
Yang Hui laughed sarcastically: "You are just a little capable of doing this kind of thing. OK, this matter has nothing to do with me, so you can go."
