Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Zhang Song waved his hands again and again: "No, no, no, it's just a pig, why should the prince care so much?"

Li Xin rolled his eyes and said, "How many pigs have you raised in total? Don't you really feel sorry for giving me one so generously? Your son, daughter-in-law, mother-in-law, so a big family, it's a big deal during the Chinese New Year. If you don't plan to add some new clothes, you should save some money for some good food, right?"

Zhang Song smiled sarcastically, rubbed his hands together in embarrassment, wanted to refute but was speechless.

In fact, Li Xin is not unwilling to accept the kindness of the farmers. It's just that he doesn't like this kind of "generous" kindness of hitting a swollen face to make a fat man. He knew that since his winery and soy sauce factory were built in Lantian County, many farmers' families had some savings and their lives were much better. However, they were far from being able to give away a pig casually. At most, it can only be regarded as changing from super poverty to ordinary poverty.

Under such conditions, Li Xin is a majestic prince, knowing that the other party's financial situation is not very good, if he still accepts what the other party gave him, at least it is a very valuable gift for the other party, then he is too poor and stingy a little. Then what kind of bullshit prince? It's better to go to the street to beg for food.

The so-called nobles, the so-called princes, naturally should have the bearing and mind of a strong man. Although Li Xin doesn't show this often, he does have it. Well, it's true that he doesn't always have it, but anyway, he will have it when he should.

Zhang Song still wanted to speak, but Li Xin interrupted him and didn't let him continue.

Li Xin said seriously: "No need to say any more. You worked so hard to raise a pig, and now I want to eat this pig, so I paid to buy it, first-hand money, first-hand goods, it's only right and proper. You don't have to feel indebted to anyone, especially the pig. Don’t feel ashamed. Take the money and use it to get some piglets to raise. When you really develop and don’t care about a mere pig, I will definitely not reject you Kindness."

Zhang Song clutched the money bag that Li Xin had stuffed into his hand, his nose was a little sore, and his eyes were a little red.

The tough man in Guanzhong had never shed tears for anything since he was an adult, but Li Xin's visit today made him almost cry.

Li Xin has done so many things in Lantian County, and all the villagers, including Zhang Song, have seen it all. Of course he was very grateful to Li Xin, from the bottom of his heart. So when Zhang Ben suddenly visited his house and said that the prince wanted to buy a piglet from him to eat, he refused the money Zhang Ben handed over without saying a word, but patted his chest and said, the prince is such a good host, I want to ask the following people to eat a pig, how much do they have to pay? Just take it.

Zhang Ben was not a thoughtful person, and when he heard Zhang Song boasting about his lord, he naturally laughed and accepted Zhang Song's kindness. At least at that time, Zhang Song was actually very happy, as if he had received some kind of recognition.

But after Zhang Ben left with the pork, Zhang Song still felt a little distressed. After all, it is a pig. Although it is only a small pig weighing more than 80 catties, if it is properly raised, it can become a big pig of 150 to 60 catties, or even 200 catties in a month or two. It's worth a few hundred pennies. How can you not feel bad?

So Zhang Song is also very contradictory. On the one hand, he felt very distressed, and on the other hand, he felt that he was so distressed just because he gave a pig to the prince. He was simply not a human being, but a beast who knew his kindness and did not want to repay it. Coupled with the fact that he has received the money specially sent to him by the prince himself at this moment, the touch and guilt in his heart are even more immeasurable.

Zhang Song knelt down again with a thump, hugged Li Xin's leg, and cried: "My old Zhang is really not a human, isn't he just a pig, and I still give it to the prince to eat, so I feel so distressed. How can the prince personally deliver it?" How about getting the money back? You also apologized to a picky bastard like me, Lao Zhang. You are a man of gold. How many good things have I done in my lifetime, that it is worthy of an apology from a person like the prince? How can I have this? Face! If my father knew about it in the underground, he would definitely call me an unworthy son!"

Li Xin was startled, and quickly supported Zhang Song, not knowing what to say for a while.

After talking about it for a long time, Zhang Song still blames himself. He felt that it was entirely because he was too stingy that Li Xin had to let go of his identity and come to his house to send money, and even apologized to him, etc.

All in all, Zhang Song felt that he seriously damaged Li Xin's dignity as the king of Chu, and he deserved death.

Li Xin didn't know how Zhang Song came to this conclusion, so he couldn't laugh or cry. He is a prince in the feudal era, a down-to-earth relative of the emperor. If a prince's dignity is so fragile, then what is the prince doing?

Take today's incident as an example, at least in Li Xin's view of right and wrong, apologizing to the weak is definitely not a detriment to the dignity of the prince. On the contrary, if Li Xin really accepted the pig sent by Zhang Song without paying, That would be detrimental to the dignity of the prince.

Li Xin persuaded him repeatedly for a long time, Zhang Song finally calmed down gradually, and finally accepted the money bag. Li Xin heaved a sigh of relief.

Chen Youlan stood quietly behind Li Xin, looking at everything in front of her with flickering eyes, and there seemed to be many tiny stars sleeping in her eyes.

A man is at his most attractive when he is trying to do what he thinks is the right thing to do.
