Chapter 414
Changsun Wuji led the way, and Su Chen and Princess Changle followed behind him.
Su Chen walked silently, thinking about everything. How could he ask for gifts when he came to Changsun Mansion empty-handed for the first time?
It was obviously inappropriate to prepare gifts now that he had entered the mansion.
Suddenly he remembered that he had met Mrs. Changsun, whom he had met once, in front of the gate of Changsun Mansion.
Su Chen had an idea in his mind instantly.
"Beautiful!"
Su Chen lowered his voice very low, gently touched Princess Changle's arm, and handed two sets of pure cotton underwear to her.
There was no external packaging, and they were neatly stacked.
Su Chen had no idea where Li Shimin was going to take them, and he never thought that they were going to Changsun Mansion.
Even if Su Chen was shameless and didn't know etiquette, he didn't dare to come empty-handed for the first time.
Maybe he would call them uncle and aunt in the future.
Princess Changle looked down and saw that they were two sets of women's pure cotton underwear, and instantly understood Su Chen's intention.
He nodded and smiled at Su Chen to reassure him.
When Changsun Wuji led Su Chen and the other two to the main hall, the direct descendants of Changsun Mansion had already paid a solemn visit to Li Shimin.
"Meetings, Princess, Marquis Su!"
It seems that someone had introduced Su Chen before, and one of these people was someone Su Chen had met before, the housekeeper of Changsun Mansion, Changsun Liang, known as Liang Bo.
Su Chen saw that Princess Changle did not respond, so he bowed and said:
"Boy Su Chen, meet you all!"
The people of Changsun Mansion bowed again, "Marquis Su is polite!" Then they bowed to Li Shimin and others and left the main hall.
Only the housekeeper and Mrs. Changsun stayed to accompany them.
After the others left, Princess Changle held two pieces of pure cotton underwear and walked towards Mrs. Changsun. "Aunt, this is the clothing that Su Chen prepared for you. How about we go to Yaoyao's room to try it on?"
Mrs. Changsun smiled and stroked Princess Changle's shoulder, then looked at Su Chen.
He smiled gently and said, "Su Chen, come to the mansion with Li Zhi when you have time. There is no need for us to be so polite."
Su Chen took two steps forward and said with a bow, "Okay, auntie, I came here in a hurry today. His Majesty did not tell me in advance that he would bring us here. I am very rude. Please forgive me."
Su Chen still felt a little abrupt. Gifts should be presented in a good appearance. It was very indecent for the two clothes to be unwrapped.
In a hurry, he exchanged two clothes from the system space, but there was no way to wrap them.
Li Shimin's eyebrows twitched when he heard this, and he thought to himself, "How dare you! You actually blame me!"
Mrs. Changsun smiled and said, "You are a very sensible child. You don't have to be polite when you come to your aunt's house in the future. Just treat it as your own home!"
Immediately, Mrs. Changsun bowed slightly to Li Shimin and others, "I'm sorry."
"Sister-in-law, please go!"
Li Shimin took the lead and stood up and bowed.
If Changsun Wuji knew that Su Chen had sent two sets of underwear to his wife, he would probably find a pole to beat Su Chen out of the house.
Then, Changsun Wuji looked at Su Chen, who had nothing in his hand,
"Su boy, come and sit down!"
"Okay!"
Without waiting for others to speak, Li Shimin handed Changsun Wuji the letter from Ganzhou that he had just received in Lizheng Hall.
"Brother-in-law, take a look at this."
Li Shimin has always called him brother-in-law in Changsun Mansion, just like Su Chen.
Because his father Changsun Sheng had a good relationship with Li Yuan in the Sui Dynasty, Li Shimin had known Changsun Wuji since he was a child.
It is not an exaggeration to say that they were childhood friends.
"Good, good! Congratulations to Your Majesty!" After reading the letter, Changsun Wuji passed it to Fang Xuanling.
Li Shimin smiled and nodded without expressing his opinion, waiting for others to read the letter before speaking.
After reading it, everyone said congratulations to His Majesty.
"Brother-in-law, let's stop talking nonsense. Go and arrange to slaughter a cow. That kid needs fresh cowhide for great use!"
Li Shimin was telling the truth, but he changed it a little.
Su Chen's mouth twitched when he heard it. Fresh cowhide?
What a big pot!
Wei Zheng's eagle eyes, which had not been seen for a long time, stared at Li Shimin in the hope of finding a flaw.
The emperor ordered the slaughter of a cow?
However, Wei Zheng found that Li Shimin's expression was very serious, and it seemed that there was no trick.
"Uncle Liang, please arrange it." Changsun Wuji did not doubt it, and immediately ordered the housekeeper Liang Bo to ask someone to slaughter the cow.
It just so happened that Cheng Yaojin was busy with military affairs, otherwise he would slaughter two cows from his family. Cheng Yaojin would not even blink, and would even set up an incense table to pray for his soul to pass away.
Besides, the salaries of these high officials include 100 mu of official land, so they must have a lot of cows.
It is not a big deal to kill one or two.
"You may wonder what that boy wants cowhide for. Please listen to me in detail..."
Li Shimin told everyone in detail about the cowhide gloves. The emperor also took great pains to eat beef.
Hearing this, Wei Zheng nodded frequently, thinking that the emperor's order to kill cows was reasonable.
The cows of Changsun Mansion... died for what they deserved!
Su Chen said nothing, watching Li Shimin talking eloquently. He was thinking about how Changsun Mansion would cook beef.
It has been more than half a year since I came to Datang, but this is the first time I have the opportunity to eat beef. If it doesn't suit my taste, it will be a loss.
"Hiss~ It's too late to make hot pot, what should I do?"
Suddenly, Su Chen stood up and came to Lao Wang, "Lao Wang, you should go back to the palace quickly and bring all the barbecue utensils and seasonings here."
"Bring Master Liu and Master Cheng as well!"
It just so happened that the emperor was not having lunch in the palace, so the imperial chef was not needed.
"Yes!"
Lao Wang turned around and was about to leave. Now, in addition to the emperor who could order him, Su Chen could also give orders directly.
"Wait a minute, Lao Wang!" Su Chen suddenly stopped him and looked at Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji who were sitting in the main seat.
Hesitating about how to speak, after all, he was a guest in Changsun Mansion now.
"Su kid, you decide. I'll ask the kitchen to prepare more food later." Changsun Wuji is indeed a cunning old man. He saw through Su Chen's thoughts at a glance.
Su Chen smiled and bowed. It was enough to get the permission of the host.
"Old Wang, when you return to the palace, please invite Huang Huang and others, and send someone to the residence of Li Jing, the Duke of Wei. Call Li Ke and Ren Gui, and it would be best if they can invite the Duke of Wei and his wife together."
"Yes!" The old king was not vague at all and quickly went to do his job.
Su Chen thought of Li Tai and others who were still in the manor, thinking that a cow had at least 300 kilograms of beef, so he should shamelessly ask for some to take back.
Changsun Wuji stroked his beard and looked at Su Chen with a smile, thinking to himself:
"Although I can't get a closer relationship with the royal family, I have no regrets to get this niece's son-in-law, maybe..."
"Brother-in-law, let's go and invite the master over!" Su Chen thought of the noble emperor in Chang'an City.
Li Chengqian stood up and said yes.
"Su kid, why do you need to go in person? I'll go." Changsun Wuji stood up and said with a smile.
Su Chen smiled. Before, he invited Li Yuan to the restaurant for dinner, but he was unwilling. "Uncle Changsun, the old man is stubborn and most of the time he can't be invited. The East Market Tea House is not far from here, we'll be back soon." Then, Su Chen and Li Chengqian walked out of Changsun's house.
Li Shimin gave Li Junxian a look, and the latter understood.
After a while, Li Shimin pretended to be angry and said, "That brat is really bold. It's ok to yell at me, but he even called me the old man, the emperor?"
"Tell me, who can be better than him in the past and present?"
"I have never heard of it, I have never seen it..." Suddenly, Changsun Wuji's tone changed, "It is rare for a young man who has not yet reached adulthood to have such a mentality."
Li Shimin felt that Changsun Wuji's words seemed to have changed. Why did he praise him?
Changsun Wuji immediately changed the topic, "Your Majesty, Su asked Wang, the chief steward, to go back to the palace to get the barbecue utensils. Could it be that he wanted to grill beef?"
"Well, most likely!" Li Shimin nodded.
"Your Majesty, I asked someone to prepare more charcoal and make some other arrangements." Changsun Wuji stood up and bowed.
"Okay, go!"
