Chapter 2260 Gathering at the Nursing Home
Li Tai saw that Li Zhi was unwilling to give in, so he tried to persuade him.
But the more Li Tai said this, the more unwilling Li Zhi felt. Although he still had the money for the goods, he had lost the entire warehouse.
And the people inside are gone too. Isn't this the same as when we just left? Everything needs to be rebuilt.
"I'm going to my father-in-law to sue him." Li Zhi said indignantly.
Li Tai shook his head:
"Why are you accusing him? You don't have any evidence at all. It's all just your own speculation. Aye won't pay any attention to you.
And do you think Aye doesn’t know?
Aye dotes on the tenth brother so much, he will definitely help him suppress this matter.
Haven't you heard that Aye is going to a nursing home tomorrow?"
"Damn it!" Li Zhi cursed after hearing this. This didn't work, and that didn't work either. Was there no way to deal with Li Shen?
Of course he had also heard the news that their father was going to a nursing home. He had a day off tomorrow, and going to a nursing home at this time must be related to this matter.
In addition to them and the aristocratic families, there were also many workshops of nobles there, and none of them were spared.
My father is afraid that the nobles will cause trouble.
"Okay, let's go back. We can't defeat Old Ten. It would be nice to go back and cultivate your character and become a leisurely prince.
Tomorrow, I will hold a literary gathering by the Qujiang River. Chi Nu, you should come too."
Li Tai had long anticipated Li Zhi's attitude, so he tried to persuade him.
"Fourth brother, you are so elegant. I won't go. I don't have the literary character of your fourth brother. I still prefer to stay in the palace."
Li Zhi shook his head, indicating that he didn't want to go.
"Well then, you and I will go to the palace to visit mother another day. I will go ahead."
Li Tai nodded helplessly and got on the carriage.
Li Zhi watched Li Tai's carriage go away with a frown on his face. He felt that his fourth brother had changed.
"Go back home!" Li Zhi also got on the carriage and gave the order.
~~~~~~~~
The nursing home run by Prince Ji’s Mansion is bustling with activity today.
The news that His Majesty was going to a nursing home to recuperate had spread throughout the court within the first two days.
Today is a day off, and many officials rushed here early in the morning.
The nursing home has now reached the third phase of construction, and I heard that the fourth phase will be built next year.
The house in the nursing home was a pre-sale house and had been rented out in advance, but the price was not as high as Li Shen requested, 8,000 guan a year.
Such a price is too high and most officials may not be able to afford it.
According to the geographical location, the second phase is more expensive at 2,000 guan per year, while the third phase is farther away at 1,500 yuan per year.
In fact, this price is already a sky-high price among sky-high prices. If Li Shimin did not come here frequently, there would be no one willing to rent it.
It’s the same as living in retirement at home. With more than a thousand coins, you can build a large house with three courtyards. But here you only have a courtyard with one courtyard, which you still rent.
The first reaction of every person who rents a property is to slap themselves in the face and then pay the money with great reluctance.
There are not many opportunities to see His Majesty, and not everyone has the chance to get close to the emperor.
A nursing home is an opportunity, so spending money doesn’t matter; the future is the most important thing.
"Hey, Brother Liu, you're here too."
"Yes, Brother Zhao, you're here early."
"Isn't this Brother Yang? You also got the house?"
In front of the nursing home, many officials were greeting each other.
Those who can come here today are at least powerful officials of the fifth rank, and most of them are nobles. Although they do not have real power, they are of high rank.
There are second-generation descendants who inherited the title, as well as some county dukes, county marquises and the like, all of whom are top nobles in the Tang Dynasty.
They occupy the geographical position of Phase II.
Wang Hongfu's design this time completely adopted Li Shen's consistent concept, which is to make his customers feel superior.
Therefore, the entrances to Phases 1, 2 and 3 are all different.
There are three entrances to the three places, but there are connecting passages inside.
The treatment of the three entrances is also different.
Phase 1 can be entered directly by carriage. There is a special carriage stop, and there are dedicated people to take care of the horses, and a carriage cleaning service is provided.
Due to limited space in Phases 2 and 3, horse-drawn carriages cannot be driven in and must be parked in the parking lot outside. Of course, there are still dedicated people to take care of the horses.
The difference is that Phase II has a special horse-drawn carriage for pick-up, but Phase III does not.
The only difference today is that there is a checkpoint at every intersection to check all people entering.
Moreover, you are not allowed to bring anyone with you today. You can only go alone and are not allowed to carry any weapons.
The defense is very tight, for no other reason than that Li Shimin is coming today.
Not only is the outside heavily guarded, but the inside is as well. The passage connecting Area 1 is also heavily guarded, and not everyone can enter Area 1.
"Wang De."
"The old slave is here."
In a large courtyard in the center of the nursing home, Li Shimin was lying in a rocking chair, reading a book and drinking tea, looking very comfortable.
"Have all the matters been reported?" Li Shimin asked after taking a sip of tea.
"Your Majesty, I have already given instructions. No outsiders are allowed to enter." Wang De bowed and replied.
"Have those old guys come yet?"
Li Shimin put down his teacup.
"Your Majesty, Duke Wei has been recuperating here. Duke Yun was also here not long ago. The only one who just arrived is Duke E. The others haven't arrived yet."
Wang Debing reports.
"No hurry, I came too early." Li Shimin was not in a hurry. These people had to bathe and change clothes at home before coming to see him.
In the past, Li Shimin was always the last to arrive, and no one could have imagined that Li Shimin would come so early today.
"Your Majesty, the Duke of E, the Duke of Wei, and the Duke of Yun are seeking an audience with Your Majesty."
At this time, the eunuch outside came in to report.
"Haha, Your Majesty was just talking about a few dukes, and they arrived." Wang De smiled softly.
"Yes, I can't help but think about it. Call them in." Li Shimin also said with a smile.
Soon, the three were brought in. Li Shimin was lying on a rocking chair, rocking and reading a book.
There was a tea set and a glass of wine on the small table next to it.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." The three stepped forward and saluted.
"No need for formalities. Wang De, please give me a seat." Li Shimin waved his hand, put down the book and sat up.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The three of them also bowed politely to express their gratitude.
"Lord Wei, how are you feeling recently?" Li Shimin looked at Li Jing. He had heard about Li Jing's hospitalization a long time ago.
Li Shen also told him that Li Jing would not live for long because he was too old and had suffered some hidden injuries over the years.
In other words, the military god in front of him is already old.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. Thanks to Your Majesty's blessing, I am now much better.
It is a pity that I am too old to serve Your Majesty any longer. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
Li Jing immediately stood up and replied.
"Eh? Lord Wei, what are you talking about? You've done enough for the Tang Dynasty. It's time for you to enjoy your old age and be with your parents."
(The wealth in the world is fixed, and the amount of money a person can earn in his lifetime is also fixed, so I hope you will not be anxious, keep your feet on the ground, and don’t be too ambitious.
I wish you all great success, continuous advancement and prosperity.)
