Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

"One thing I want to know is whether every distinguished guest or every girl has the opportunity to come here to pick cherry tomatoes?"

Li Qiu's answer to her abrupt question was also very sincere.

"People in the world will always give kindness to those beautiful things."

"From the current point of view, Miss Wu Jue is undoubtedly the one who deserves the most kindness from people."

"By the way, and this time, don't spoil this cherry blossom when you go back this time."

"After eating, you can come back to get it at any time."

A woman is the one who pleases herself, and Wu Jue, who is in the law of cardamom years, can't escape.

After receiving a great compliment and flattery from Li Qiu, Wu Jue's mood became better.

As for Li Qiu's last little joke, Wu Jue blushed and nodded.

……

On the carriage back to the mansion with his father, Wu Jue, who was in a great mood, couldn't let go of the saint fruits.

Seeing his daughter so happy, Samurai Xun was also in a very good mood.

So he took the opportunity to tease his daughter.

"Wu Jue, are you happy today?"

"Did Li Qiu not be rude to you when you went to the orchard behind?"

Hearing these words, Wu Jue glanced at her father inexplicably, and then cast a reproachful glance at her father.

Then he stuffed a cherry tomato coquettishly into the hand of the warrior Xun.

"Father, what are you talking about?"

"I know how to bully people in one day."

"Here, I'll give you a cherry tomato, it's really delicious."

The warrior Xun laughed and took a bite, and then he was full of praise, "I didn't expect this cherry tomato to be so delicious!"

After Wu Jue took the remaining few cherry tomatoes home, Ke became one of the most attractive girls in Chang'an City.

Many relatives of the emperor and the daughters of wealthy noble families came to look for this holy maiden fruit one after another.

But how could Wu Jue be willing to give away such an absolutely rare and beautiful thing?

Ever since, in desperation, those girls found their elders and parents in their families.

Wanting to follow the example of the samurai Xun, go to Li Qiu and ask for a few cherry tomatoes.

At this time, Li Qiu almost instinctively did a politically correct thing.

That is denial!

Guest officer, if you want to eat the dishes made of cherry tomatoes, you can, but you want cherry tomatoes?

Sorry, the store does not sell.

As for being asked why Wu Jue of Ying Guogong's mansion had a saint fruit, Li Qiu pretended to be stupid and didn't know what to ask.

These people were really angry and said that they would never come again.

As for Li Qiu, after having the hundred taels of gold bestowed by the empress before, he can live a lifetime without any worries even if he doesn't open a small restaurant.

He really doesn't care about the number of guests.

Now he runs this small restaurant more to kill boredom and find something to do.

Of course, everything has two sides.

Although he lost some customers on his side, he still gained some money on the other side.

In order to reward his political correctness, Wu Jue secretly gave him a sachet made of flower petals when he came to dinner.

At the same time, tell him that there is no other meaning, it is really a return gift to thank him for the cherry tomatoes.

After all, what Li Qiu did this time really made Wu Jue reap a wave of envy and jealousy from other noble ladies.

It also greatly satisfied her little vanity.

……

Just when Li Qiu's life returned to peace and ease, and he was gradually enjoying this kind of romantic life, a black hand of hatred that he was so worried about before.

Finally reached out to him.

In the mansion of the former king of Shu and now the mansion of Li Ke, the king of Hanzhong County, Cheng Chumo, the eldest son of Cheng Yaojin, who came back from the army to visit his relatives, came to visit his friend Li Ke.

After hearing Li Ke and others' eloquent narration, Cheng Chumo, who was as fiery as his father, was furious immediately.

"A mere merchant, he is so courageous!"

Chapter 32 Who is the store owner, get out

Seeing Cheng Chumo's fury, Li Ke, Quan Wanji and others on the side pretended to persuade him.

"Oh, Chu Mo, don't be angry anymore."

"Isn't this king a living example?"

"For a matter that has nothing to do with me, I want to stand up for those who have been deceived by profiteers."

"But what's the result?"

"I was severely punished by my father, and I was also ridiculed by this group of people."

"I don't blame my father, if I want to blame, I can only blame this world for being too stupid."

"Sold by that profiteer, I have to count the money for others!"

Quan Wanji on the side also persuaded him in the same way, "That's right, General Cheng."

"Your Highness acted for the sake of our future foundation in the Tang Dynasty, and only wanted to punish that unscrupulous profiteer."

"But no one can understand His Highness's painstaking efforts for my Tang Dynasty."

"Just look at the present, the border is full of smoke, and there is a severe drought in Guanzhong. I don't know how many people are starving to death because of starvation."

"But look at this black-hearted shop, the wine is worth thousands of dollars, and an ordinary dish costs at least a few hundred dollars."

"But it's such an expensive price. There is an endless stream of wealthy families who go there to eat every day. It's so popular that you need to book in advance and queue up to get a table."

"Hey, General Cheng, tell me, how much food can be bought with such money, and how many people can be saved?"

"It's just like what His Highness said just now, profiteers harm the country, the world is too ignorant!"

"If this kind of atmosphere continues to be spoiled by that profiteer, the folk customs and morals of my Tang Dynasty will be over!"

"Just now, there are already soldiers and civilians who have sold their houses just to drink that black-hearted man who shot Sirius!"

Hearing this, Cheng Chumo couldn't sit still anymore.

"what?"

"Sell your house just to buy wine?!"

"What the fuck is this?!"

Quan Wanji also sighed and echoed, "Who says it's not, General Cheng, can you now understand His Highness's difficulties that day?"

"If you say that the person who sold his ancestral house to exchange wine may have some connection with General Cheng."

"That's General Cheng's former subordinate, Guo Long."

Upon hearing his words, Cheng Chumo was in disbelief at first, and then extremely angry.

"Guo Long?"

"This bastard, I'm going to find him now!"

"If it's true as you said, I'll smoke that bastard Guo Long first, and then go and smash that profiteer's tavern!"

At this time, Quan Wanji and others persuaded him one after another.

"Hey, my General Cheng."

"The story of Guo Long is absolutely true. Even if he has gone to the battlefield now, you can find out if you ask people who know him."

"It's just that you must not smash that profiteer's shop, General."

"Didn't you see the lessons learned from His Highness last time?"

"That Li Qiu was backed by Wei Zheng, Wang Gui and others, and then secretly bribed Zhang Yungu, Yin of the Jingzhao Mansion."

"So whether it's His Highness or you, the general, once you smash his shop for no reason, it won't have any effect, but you will be severely punished for it."

"To put it bluntly, it's just that we are humble and don't get enough attention."

"For this kind of thing, I'm afraid it will only work if the old generals and bosses who share the same spirit as His Majesty speak."

Hearing this, Cheng Chumo frowned and paused for a while.

"Hmph, my father may be going back to Chang'an soon."

"At that time, I will tell my father about this matter."

"He is righteous and loves soldiers like a son, and he will definitely not let this kind of vicious profiteer do harm to the people!"

Hearing Cheng Chumo's words, Li Ke, Quan Wanji and others' eyes flashed an imperceptible joy.

It seems that so many words were not wasted, and Cheng Chumo was finally led on the right track.

With the prestige of Lu Guogong Cheng Yaojin and his weight with His Majesty, once he came forward to teach Li Qiu a lesson, others, even Wang Gui and Zhang Yungu, would probably not stand up for Li Qiu again.

At that time, it must be His Majesty who can only applaud Lu Guogong.

"Oh, Chu Mo, if Lu Guogong can come forward, it must be sure, and there will be no more disturbances!"

"At that time, I think father will also be reminded by Lu Guogong's words, and fully realize the danger of such black-hearted merchants."

"So take action and rectify the folk customs."

"No matter what, I will first replace the people in Chang'an City, soldiers, thank you!"

Li Ke was extremely formal as he spoke, and saluted Cheng Chumo earnestly.

Cheng Chumo was shocked, and hastily returned the salute respectfully.

At this time, Quan Wanji and the others on the side also struck while the iron was hot, constantly praising and flattering Cheng Chumo.

It is said that the tiger father has no dogs and sons, and Cheng Chumo loves soldiers like his son, and he is a real hero with a righteous spirit, and so on.

Under the siege of their sugar-coated shells, Cheng Chumo, who was young and inexperienced in the world, couldn't help feeling elated, feeling very happy in his heart.

In this way, about ten days later, when Cheng Yaojin finally returned to Kyoto from the front line to visit relatives and report on his work, Cheng Chumo approached him immediately and said these things.

Upon hearing his words, the fiery Cheng Yaojin burst into anger and his eyes widened.

"What? Is there such a thing?"

"Chu Mo, what you said is true?"

Cheng Chumo saluted respectfully, "Father, everything my child said is true."

"In the past ten days, Hai'er has also visited and questioned many people."

"The merchant who ruined the people's morals is indeed worth tens of thousands of dollars for wine, and the cheapest food sold in his shop costs hundreds of dollars."

"As for that bastard Guo Long selling his house to buy wine, it's also true."

"The next time I see him, I have to slap him!"

What Cheng Chumo said was true. In the past few days, he did make a general visit and asked about it.

It's a pity that the time is too short, and there are people who are close friends of Li Ke, the king of Shu, by his side.

What he saw and heard were all carefully prepared and added.

Cheng Yaojin has great confidence in his son's conduct.

So he no longer doubted, and directly charged the case with endless anger.

"Go to hell with Doujiu Wanwen."

"If these bastard merchants are allowed to continue to be immoral, what can they do?!"
