Chapter 890: Li Chengqian likes Qiniang?
"See sir!" Li Chengqian quickly stepped forward with a smile on his face, and then saluted Li Xiu respectfully.
"Cheng... Prince, why are you here?" Li Xiu asked in surprise at this time. This is the Financial Management Commission. It was a bit inappropriate for him to directly call Li Chengdao, so he changed his words to Prince.
"Hehe, my father asked me to study government affairs and I had to go to various yamen every day, so I chose the financial management supervision first because I was very curious about banks and felt that it would definitely become one of the pillars of my Tang Dynasty in the future!" Li Chengqian said with a smile at this time.
Li Chengqian is fifteen years old this year, and he is as tall as Li Xiu. His facial features also inherit the advantages of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun. His handsomeness is also a bit heroic. No matter who sees him, he will think that he is the most well-deserved prince of the Tang Dynasty.
In addition, Li Chengqian was also extremely diligent and studious, and the ministers in the court were also very satisfied with him as the prince. For example, Changsun Wuji supported Li Chengqian with full support. In addition, he was Li Xiu's student. It can be said that Li Chengqian was simply chosen by nature at this time, and no one could shake his position as the prince.
"So that's it. You are fifteen years old this year, and it's really time to share some government affairs for your father. Being familiar with the operation of various yamen is only the most basic. In addition, you should humbly ask some ministers for advice, such as your uncle, and the Fang Xiang, Du Xiang, etc." Li Xiu immediately took Li Chengqian and told him with concern while walking in.
"Mr. I'm not worse than my uncle and others, so I'd better learn from him first. Speaking of which, I was too busy some time ago and didn't have time to go to my husband's place to attend classes!" Li Chengqian also showed an annoyed expression on his face when he spoke at the end.
"You have grown up, and I can teach you less and less, let alone I don't have time to teach you during this period." Li Xiu couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly when he heard this. Since taking over the financial management and financial management, his leisurely lifestyle and schedule have been completely disrupted. I really regret it.
"Mr. is talented. The more you learn from you, the more students feel ignorant. So students have many things to learn from you in the future. In addition, although you are very busy during this period, sometimes when I go to the class, I find that Qi Niang can also give lectures, and the lectures are very exciting. We all like to listen!" Li Chengqian said enthusiastically again at this time. Although he is busy, he usually takes time to go to Li Xiu's place as long as he has some time, because only in Li Xiu's place can he completely let go of the identity of the prince. Qi Niang and the others will not care about his identity, and everyone plays like ordinary friends.
When Li Chengqian heard Li Xiu's praise, he couldn't help but smile helplessly. In fact, what he could teach was indeed almost the same, but there were still many things that he could not teach, such as his experiences and vision in later generations. These were not something that people of this era could imagine. Even if he wanted to teach, he could not start. After all, he could not tell Li Chengqian and the others that people in later generations would not take a carriage when they traveled, but would run fast when they got into an iron box, and they could also ride an iron bird in the sky, right?
While speaking, Li Xiu and Li Chengqian also entered the financial management supervision department. At that time, Li Xiu first took him to his office room, and then handled the official business that he needed to handle today. By the way, he also told Li Chengqian about the internal structure of the financial management department and some things that he needed to be responsible for. Li Chengqian also wrote down all these.
After Li Xiu had handled official duties, he took Li Chengqian around the prison and asked him to see with his own eyes how the officials in the financial management supervision did things. However, Li Chengqian was very interested in the bank and kept urging Li Xiu to go to the bank. It just so happened that Li Xiu had nothing to do, so he took him with him. Speaking of which, it was more important to accompany Li Chengqian to be familiar with government affairs. After all, he was the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, and his words and deeds in the future may affect the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty.
At that moment, Li Xiu and Li Chengqian took a carriage out of the imperial city, and the master and apprentice on the road were also chatting while walking, but at this time, Li Chengqian suddenly said, "Sir, I heard that my mother-in-law is already engaged. When will we get married?"
When Li Xiu heard Li Chengqian ask about his mother on his own initiative, he was also stunned. After all, his sisters and sisters never liked Li Chengqian because of their father Li Jiancheng. Li Chengqian was also very tactful and never provoked them. However, he did not expect that he would ask about his mother’s marriage on his own initiative.
"It's indeed already ordered. The other party is Zhou Linfu's youngest son, who is about the same age as his mother. Moreover, his mother also admires the other party's talent very much and plans to get married next year!" Li Xiu still answered despite his doubts.
"I used to be married, but now it's my sister's turn. According to the age of the sisters in the family, next... is it the turn of Qi Niang?" Li Chengqian sighed at first, then hesitated for a while, and then spoke again.
When Li Xiu heard Li Chengqian mention Qi Niang, he frowned because he felt that Qi Niang was the point of Li Chengqian’s question, but he didn’t point it out. After pondering for a moment, he spoke again: “You also understand Qi Niang’s personality. If she doesn’t want to get married, I, a brother, can’t do anything, and her vision is high. No man can get into her eyes for the time being, so I am very anxious now!”
"Qian Niang received the true teachings of her husband, and her vision was comparable to ordinary women, so those ordinary people naturally could not be worthy of Qi Niang!" Li Chengqian immediately said when he heard Li Xiu's words. Although he tried his best to hide it, his tone still had a bit of unconcealed joy.
"Well, that's true, but I'm also ready to go now. If I want to marry Qi Niang, I have to get her recognition. As long as she wants, I won't object to even marry a poor scholar!" Seeing Li Chengqian's appearance, Li Xiu couldn't help but be alert in his heart and spoke deliberately.
"How can a poor scholar be worthy of Qi Niang? I think only the emperor and nobles can be worthy of her. Speaking of which, my mother also likes her very much. Among the women she has seen, Qi Niang has the most similar personality!" Li Chengqian said excitedly again.
Hearing this, Li Xiu couldn't help but secretly become obsessed with it. Even the stupidest person could see now that Li Chengqian was actually trying to attack Qi Niang. When he heard what he said, even Empress Changsun praised Qi Niang, and said that Qi Niang looked the most like her, so she was almost like saying that Qi Niang was suitable for being the crown princess and would become the queen of the world in the future.
"Well~, the queen is too good. Qi Niang is careless and doesn't look like a woman at all. Your aunt introduced her to several men to a blind date, but she drove me away. She almost angered me to death at that time!" Li Xiu immediately coughed. Although he understood, he deliberately pretended to be confused and did not accept Li Chengqian's words at all.
Seeing that Li Xiu did not accept his words, Li Chengqian seemed a little embarrassed, and felt that he was a little anxious. At that moment, he hurriedly turned the topic elsewhere, which was exactly what Li Xiu wanted. In the following conversation, neither of them mentioned Qi Niang again.
The bank that came to the West City got off the carriage. Compared to when it first opened, the current bank is no longer as crowded as before, but there are still many people, such as there are many people waiting in the hall. In addition, there is a smaller hall on the east side of the bank, but there are more people there, because it is the quotation warehouse distributed by the bank, and there are definitely many people coming to pawn every day.
Li Xiu took Li Chengqian from another door to the bank. He first brought him to the second floor of the bank, looked at the hall below from above, explained the bank's business to him personally, and then took him into the bank's interior, allowing Li Chengqian to understand how the bank operates, and his future planning for the bank, etc.
Li Chengqian has been learning from Li Xiu since he was a child and has also heard Li Xiu talk about some financial-related knowledge. Therefore, he can understand the role of banks more than anyone else. Especially after listening to Li Xiu's plan for banks, his eyes shine. If the entire banking system can be really established, then the Tang Dynasty can control the economy of various places, which is definitely a great thing for strengthening local rule.
Li Xiu accompanied Li Chengqian in the bank for most of the day, and even lunch was eaten here. Speaking of which, Li Chengqian had no airs and ate in the cafeteria with Li Xiu. However, when the officials in the bank learned that he was the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, they were all very awe-inspiring. No one dared to approach him and Li Xiu during the meal. As for Xu Jingzong, he went to Luoyang a few days ago, otherwise he would definitely post it. After all, this was a rare opportunity to flatter Li Chengqian.
It was getting late, and Li Xiu separated from Li Chengqian in the bank. Li Xiu did not return to the financial management supervision, but went home from the bank directly. However, when he got on the carriage, his face suddenly became gloomy because he thought of the words Li Chengqian mentioned before.
In fact, Li Xiu was also wondering at this time. He couldn't figure out how Li Chengqian fell in love with Qi Niang. Speaking of which, Qi Niang was three years older than him. Although they grew up together, Qi Niang was closest to Li Chengdao since she was a child. In her eyes, Li Chengqian was probably just a little brother.
However, considering the above is meaningless now, what Li Xiu is worried about is that if Li Chengqian really falls in love with Qi Niang and wants to marry her as the crown princess, what should he do?
