"Oh! Husband! The Warm Tang Foundation is almost done with work! There are close to sixty thousand poor people around Chang 'an City. Almost all of them have received coal stoves, honeycomb briquettes, food, and clothing from the foundation. Now, there are only some finishing touches left! As for Doctor Sun, he has already held free medical services in seven counties. I estimate that he will only be able to visit all twenty counties after the new year! "
At the mention of the workshop, Han Yuxi thought of the Nuan Tang Foundation and asked softly.
"Sixty thousand households? They've finished delivering so quickly? "
Li Zexuan was surprised.
"It's all thanks to the assistance of the people sent by the Crown Prince. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so fast!"
Han Yuxi pursed her lips and smiled.
Li Chengqian said half-jokingly.
"Haha! This winter, Xiao Xuan, you've not only brought warmth to the poor, but also to the rich! Haha! "
Li Zexuan couldn't help but smile. He thought for a moment and said, "Then let's reward the students tonight. Let's have a hot pot together. It'll be lively!"
"Six hundred people eating hot pot together? That's a good idea! I'll be there too! "
After hearing Li Zexuan's suggestion, Li Chengqian's eyes lit up. Changle's eyes also sparkled. She was eager to give it a try!
"Chengqian, don't even think about it! The students are eating hot pot at the academy tonight. How are you going to come back if you go? "
Li Zexuan said mercilessly.
The brother and sister pair immediately wilted.
Han Yuxi smiled. Then, she seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said, "Husband, His Majesty said that he wants you to reflect on yourself at home for two months. You can't go tonight, right?"
Silence!
But then, Li Chengqian laughed loudly. "Haha! That's good too! None of us can go! "
This guy was clearly taking pleasure in his misfortune.
Li Zexuan rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "His Majesty said that I'm grounded at home for two months, but I was still at the Supreme Court this morning. So strictly speaking, these two months should start from tomorrow. I can still go out tonight!"
"Puchi!"
Changle giggled. Her delicate little face was like a blooming white orchid, fresh and refined. She was really charming when she looked back and smiled. She had the potential to be the most beautiful woman in the world at such a young age. She covered her mouth and said happily,
"Big Brother Xiao Xuan, you're really cunning. If Imperial Father finds out, he'll definitely be furious!"
"Imperial Father is so angry, why are you still so happy?"
Of course, this was only what Li Chengqian thought in his heart, and he wouldn't voice it out at a time like this. At this moment, he first glanced at Changle and then looked at Li Zexuan.
"Little Xuan, you're clearly twisting words and forcing logic. If my Imperial Father knew about this, he would definitely come looking for trouble with you! I think you'd better not go. It's just hotpot! "
Han Yuxi nodded, indicating that she agreed with Li Chengqian's words.
Since ancient times, the words of the Emperor had always been of great weight. There was basically no official like Li Zexuan who didn't take the Emperor's words seriously and always wanted to take advantage of loopholes. Han Yuxi felt that if this went on, it wouldn't be good if Li Zexuan came to settle accounts at an opportune time.
Li Zexuan glanced at Li Chengqian in annoyance. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he said, "Hey! His Majesty only ordered me to be grounded at home to reflect, but he didn't specify which home! I'll stay in Yunshan to reflect these two months. This way, it won't be considered disobeying His Majesty's imperial edict! "
He was so insistent on going to Yunshan to make hotpot for the students. First, it was to reward them. Recently, these students had been running around for Operation Warm Winter. Second, a few days ago, the people had caused a ruckus in the Cui family. If it weren't for the students maintaining order on the spot, many dirty things would have happened. At that time, not only would he be impeached by the officials, but he would also feel guilty in his heart. He had to thank this group of students.
As soon as these words came out, Changle was stunned!
There was such a quick-witted person in this world?
Li Chengqian was stunned!
How could there be such a shameless person in this world?
The more Li Zexuan thought about it, the more pleased he became. He said, "Haha! It's settled then! Wife, quickly have the servants in the residence prepare the ingredients. Tonight, the academy will have a hotpot feast for more than six hundred people! Have Wang Zhong take out all the frozen mutton in the freezer. I'll cut the mutton! "
Han Yuxi was stunned, then she nodded and said, "Okay! Husband, please wait a moment. I'll go arrange it right away! "
Although the mutton in the freezer at home was reserved for the new year in a few days, Han Yuxi saw that Li Zexuan was in high spirits and didn't want to dampen his spirits. At worst, she could just buy some more in a few days.
"Chengqian, Changle, have you eaten hotpot in the palace before?"
"Yes, yes! We've eaten! "
The siblings nodded fiercely. Not only had they eaten it before, they had eaten quite a bit!
"Then who cut the mutton in the palace?"
Li Zexuan was suddenly curious and asked.
"Uh!"
Li Chengqian looked a little embarrassed. He looked around and said, "I heard Imperial Father say that Steward Zhao and the old consecrators in the palace took turns cutting it!"
The corner of Li Zexuan's mouth twitched. He didn't think that his initial worry would become a reality. Old Li was really deranged. For the sake of good food, he didn't even care about his face.
"Okay! Then I'll have to cut the mutton next. I don't have time to accompany you. You two can do as you please! Anyway, you two seem to be more familiar with this residence than I am! "
Li Zexuan waved his hand speechlessly. Then he turned and left to cut the mutton.
Li Chengqian and Changle looked at each other, then followed Li Zexuan out the door.
In the kitchen of the Li residence, the two of them witnessed the "peerless swordsmanship" of a Grandmaster expert. Only then did they understand why the mutton they ate in the past had to be cut by Zhao Song or the imperial consecrators personally. It was because ordinary people couldn't possibly have such amazing and dazzling swordsmanship!
After admiring Li Zexuan's "peerless swordsmanship" for a while, Li Chengqian saw that it was getting late. He quickly pulled Changle back to the palace.
Everyone in the Li residence was busy. Madam Li and Li Jingmo didn't have any objections to Li Zexuan treating the students to hotpot. In their opinion, their son had just been released from prison and should be celebrated. However, they were a little dissatisfied that Li Zexuan was going to Yunshan to do closed-door cultivation. It was almost the New Year, and Li Zexuan was obviously going to Yunshan for the New Year. However, the old couple still couldn't bear to leave their home in Chang 'an City!
However, these were all trivial matters. With Madam Li's love for her son, she was naturally obedient. As for Li Jingmo, what choice did he have?
At five in the afternoon, Li Zexuan and his family, along with dozens of servants, set off for Yunshan. Li Zexuan planned to give up two villas in Yunshan for his parents, as well as the Ye family's Ye Guochong and Old Madam Ye to temporarily live in. This way, the family wouldn't feel crowded even if they spent the New Year in Yunshan.
As for Li Zexuan, he went to the Warm Tang Foundation and personally waited for the students who had gone to the nearby counties to "send warmth" back!
