Chapter 141 The realm of foodies

Yin Hongzhi has always been resentful about the fact that he went to Xiao's house to propose marriage and was rejected.

Recently, he learned from Yin Guanghao that Li You and Xiao Wanyu were getting closer. Through today's events, he felt that Xiao Wanyu should have fallen in love with Li You.

He hoped that Li You could marry Xiao Wanyu. First, this girl was really good. Second, he felt happy when he thought about this situation.

"Hmph, my surname is Xiao, this is your daughter's initiative. I'll see where you put your face?!" Yin Hongzhi said to himself.

At this moment, when he saw Xiao Dongchang, he couldn't help but go up and say a few words.

Xiao Dongchang felt more and more angry when he saw Yin Hongzhi's appearance. He ignored Yin Hongzhi and said loudly to Xiao Wanyu: "What else do you say? Go home for me. Immediately."

Xiao Wanyu was reluctant and aggrieved. She was about to say something, but she saw Xiao Gan getting off the carriage.

"Grandfather." She rushed over to Xiao Gan.

"Father." Xiao Dongchang saw Xiao Gan, and felt different. He didn't know how he would appear here. He walked forward and bowed.

"Chang'er, you go back first and let Yu'er accompany me." Xiao Gan said.

"This..." Xiao Dongchang was very embarrassed and depressed. He looked at Xiao Gan, looked at Xiao Wanyu again, bowed and said, "Yes, father." Then he got on the horse and left.

Xiao Wanyu looked at her father proudly and helped Xiao Gan walk into the palace.

Yin Hongzhi said to Li You: "Your Highness, I'll leave first." He was unwilling to talk to Xiao Gan.

Li You said curiously: "Uncle, what's wrong? I'll cook myself today and try my skills before leaving."

Yin Hongzhi glared at Xiao Gan's back, shook his head and said, "I really have something to do, I'll do next time." He left after that.

In the guest room, the two old men met and were very enthusiastic about each other. Xiao Gan said, "Mr. Kong, it's been a long time since I saw you, you seem to be much cleaner."

"Xiao Pushe, you are busy with your noble people, forget me quickly." Kong Yingda said with a smile.

In the past, the two admired each other and had more interactions. Now that they are older, Kong Yingda does not go to court, they have less interactions with each other.

After a few greetings, Kong Yingda looked at Xiao Wanyu and Du Mei and said, "Xiao Pushe, you have a good granddaughter. Wanyu and Du Mei have helped a lot today.

Today, they are going to me to deal with the students' affairs. It's amazing that they can take the initiative to share the worries of the court."

When Kong Yingda saw Xiao Gan coming, she thought he came because of Li You mobilizing Xiao Wanyu, so she smoothed out Li You.

Xiao Gan looked at Xiao Wanyu and Du Mei with satisfaction and said, "These two children, well, are very good."

Kong Yingda looked at Li You and said, "Your Highness, Wanyu and Du Mei were both my students before, and now they are both promising. They can solve major issues for the court at a young age. I am deeply relieved."

The students have given the teacher a face, so of course those who are teachers are happy.

Li You was very happy and said, "Two sirs, you guys will chat first. I will cook myself and let you taste my skills."

"Slowly, your highness, sit down, let's have a good talk." Xiao Gan was obviously not very enthusiastic about food.

Kong Yingda also said, "Your Highness, the old minister also has some things to ask you."

Li You had no choice but to sit down obediently.

Kong Yingda cared about the students and asked, "How does the imperial court plan to deal with those students?"

Li You looked at Xiao Gan and waited for him to explain the matter. However, Xiao Gan said to him: "Your Highness, come and tell Mr. Kong."

Li You said: "Master, this matter is over, and my father will not pursue this matter."

Kong Yingda breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, that's good."

"However, in order to stabilize the academic community in Chang'an, a respected person needs to be in charge. I recommend the master to go back and continue to serve as the priest of the Imperial College. Your opinion was not solicited, and I hope you will forgive me." Li You said.

Kong Yingda was very satisfied with the court's valuation for him and nodded and said, "Well, this is good. Those teachers and students can still give me some slight weight."

Then, Li You talked about Li Tai's proposal to promote Kong Yingda's title, and also said that everyone agreed to do so. He opposed it himself, just ask Kong Yingda to blame him alone.

Kong Yingda understood his painstaking efforts and did not blame him.

But Xiao Gan discovered that Li You was indifferent to fame and fortune, did not take credit, and was brave enough to take responsibility, and had a mind that was far better than that of ordinary young people. He couldn't help but exclaim in secret.

As we all know, Li You made a lot of contributions to the court, but he was not rewarded by the court once. The King of Qi is a second-class prince, and he is still quite different from the first-class princes of Li Ke and Li Tai.

Many people spoke out for him, and Li Shimin also wanted to improve him, but he refused them all.

It’s not that Li You is indifferent to fame and fortune, but that everyone does not understand the realm of a foodie. Foodies should not only be able to eat, know how to eat, and eat unique ways. They should also eat safely.

Li You was already the top powerful man in the Tang Dynasty. It was useless to be famous, profitable, and not rare. Li You did not take credit, so he avoided being jealous. He did not receive the rewards of fame and fortune, but he was trusted by Li Shimin and many ministers. This is the realm he pursued.

One word: comfort.

However, in order to thank Kong Yingda, Li You prepared a gift for him.

Baihu and others carried a tall black wooden board and stood in front of everyone. Li You picked up a piece of chalk and wrote on the blackboard: "Hello Master Kong, hello Master Xiao."

When everyone saw this, they didn't understand what it meant.

When Li You picked up a blackboard eraser, wiped off the handwriting on the blackboard, and wrote the words again, everyone suddenly understood the beauty of these things.

The two old men were like children, writing them on and erasing them. The two beauties were also satisfied, and they didn't care about the chalk dust in their hands.

Kong Yingda said excitedly: "Good thing, this is a powerful tool for teaching."

Xiao Gan nodded and said, "Yes, with this teaching aid, teaching will be much more convenient in the future."

Li You smiled and said, "Master Kong, you have become the priest of the Imperial College. You should order more from me. It is very cheap, so that your disciples can make a little money."

Li You's nature as a profiteer was revealed and he was immediately despised by everyone.

Kong Yingda said: "I have given up on my promotion of my title. Are you still reluctant to give me some teaching aids like this?

Not many, there are 30 sets of Imperial College, and before I took office, I honestly sent it to me.”

"Ah? Master, you are too dark, are you? You are even darker than this blackboard!" Li You looked bitter.

"Hahahaha", "Hahahaha", the old man and the beauties burst into laughter.
