Chapter 57 Rejection
When only Cui Hao and the others were left in the hall, Wang Ze couldn't help asking: "Could it be that we have suffered this dark loss?"

He was very upset, and even more distressed was the food.

Cui Hao said gloomyly: "It's a conspiracy, there is no way, there will be opportunities in the future."

……

East Palace
Li Chengqian said happily: "Lin Xuan and the others sent the food. Those aristocratic families are really rich. How much food do you think they donated in total?"

"How many?"

Lin Xuan was also a little curious about how much food those aristocratic families donated.

The aristocratic families he forced had to take out food, but those aristocratic families were not stupid, it was impossible to take out all their wealth.

"A total of 5 shi, plus the donations from rich households in Chang'an and some lords, now there are nearly 7 shi in total." Li Chengqian said excitedly.

Although Li Shimin asked Cheng Yaojin and the others to act, they had to express that they donated some.

It's just that they have a few thousand mu more and a few hundred mu less, and they don't have much food, so the sum is not as much as those of those aristocratic families.

It did not exceed Lin Xuan's expectations. Although it was not enough for the victims to eat until next autumn's harvest, it was still no problem to last until the beginning of spring.

"By the way, they have delivered all the food, do you want to carve a tablet for them?"

Li Chengqian was taught by Li Shimin since he was a child, and he didn't have a good impression of those aristocratic families.

Li Chengqian was very unwilling to engrave steles for those aristocratic families.

Lin Xuan said seriously: "Your Highness, everyone in Chang'an City knows about this matter. If you go back on your word, what is the prestige of the court?"

Li Chengqian's vision was still too narrow, the aristocratic family was forced to take out food, and they hadn't gained fame in the end, so could they give up.

And the common people in Chang'an know about this, once they repent, the prestige of the royal family will plummet.

"It's because I didn't think it through." Li Chengqian also reacted.

Li Tai had a look of pity. It would have been nice if Li Chengqian had done that rightly, but Lin Xuan stopped him.

He couldn't help feeling a little regretful. If he had known that Lin Xuan was so talented, he should have done everything he could to win him over.

The series of suggestions put forward by Lin Xuan this time made him see the value of Lin Xuan.

"Lin Xuan, do you plan to come to the East Palace to work? I will not treat you badly." Li Chengqian said with a smile.

He valued Lin Xuan very much, and he wanted to recruit Lin Xuan.

"This...thank you for your kindness, His Royal Highness, I have no plans to become an official."

Although Lin Xuan knew that rejecting Li Chengqian might offend him, he still refused.

He didn't want to mess with Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian was going to rebel, and he didn't know why he didn't follow him.

As for helping him rebel, Lin Xuan never thought about it.

Just kidding, Li Shimin started his career as a rebel, and want to rebel against Li Shimin?

Lin Xuan didn't think that he would be able to play Li Shimin better than Li Shimin.

"Brother Huang, Lin Xuan has made great contributions to this disaster relief, and the emperor will definitely reward you. Lin Xuan doesn't like those official positions in the East Palace." Li Tai said with a smile.

Lin Xuan looked at Li Tai's round face, wishing he could kick him a few times.

Li Tai is trying to sow discord.

"It's getting late, you guys go back." Li Chengqian's face darkened, he didn't know if it was because of Li Tai's words, or because Lin Xuan rejected him.

Li Tai and Lin Xuan saw that Li Chengqian issued the order to evict guests, saluted, and left the East Palace under the leadership of the eunuchs of the East Palace.

Lin Xuan also wanted to ask about Li Changle, but after thinking about it, let it go.

Li Changle is a princess, it is impossible for him and her to inquire about so many things.

"Lin Xuan, are you interested in sitting with Xiao Wang? Xiao Wang will not drive people away."

Li Tai had a smile all over his face, and he didn't forget to mock Li Chengqian while inviting him.

"Thank you, Your Highness, King Yue. Xuan has something to do at home, so I won't bother His Highness. I will visit His Highness next time I have a chance." Lin Xuan quickly refused.

What would Li Chengqian think if he rejected Li Chengqian on the front foot and went to Furong Garden on the back foot?
"Xiao Wang made a note of it."

Li Tai smiled and didn't say anything about Lin Xuan's rejection.

After speaking, Li Tai got into the carriage and left under the protection of the guards.

Lin Xuan shook his head, he didn't have a fuel-efficient lamp, he had better stay at home honestly.

……

Just as Lin Xuan came home, he met Lin Butler looking around nervously at the door.

"My lord, you are back. Master and Madam are waiting for you in the lobby after worrying all day." Butler Lin said happily when he saw Lin Xuan.

"I see, I'll go right away."

After Lin Xuan finished speaking, he went to the hall.

He was suddenly taken to the palace. There was no news for a day, and his parents must have been worried and frightened for a day.

"Father, I'm back."

Seeing Lin Xuan's return, Lin Dongyang and Zhang Qing stood up excitedly.

"Xuan'er, are you okay?" Zhang Qing pulled Lin Xuan and asked.

"Mother, what can I do, I just went to see His Majesty." Lin Xuan said with a smile.

"Xuan'er, what's going on? Why did His Majesty summon you suddenly?" Lin Dongyang asked.

In the morning Cheng Yaojin hurriedly pulled Lin Xuan away, saying that His Majesty had summoned him.

The two of them waited for so long and didn't see Lin Xuan coming back. They were frightened for a whole day, thinking that something happened.

Uneasy Zhang Qing kept asking Lin Dongyang to send someone out to inquire.

Lin Dongyang is just a businessman with no power or power, he can't find out anything, the two can only sit at home and wait.

Lin Xuan told his parents what happened today to reassure them.

But he didn't say anything about paying attention and persecuting the aristocratic family.

After hearing this, the two breathed a sigh of relief.

……

The next day, Lin Xuan sent the stove and the method of making briquettes to the East Palace.

This was agreed yesterday, as for the rest, he didn't plan to take care of it.

After rejecting Li Chengqian's persuasion, Lin Xuan went directly to Cheng's winery after leaving the East Palace.

"Boy Lin, did the sun come out from the west today? Otherwise, why would you come to the winery?" Cheng Yaojin mocked.

For Lin Xuan leaving everything to them and enjoying the happiness at home by himself, they were itchy with anger.

"Yes, I originally wanted to discuss with you about selling wine, but if you don't welcome me, I will go back."

After Lin Xuan finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to leave.

"Don't, we are wrong."

Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin hurried up to grab Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan didn't intend to leave at first, but stopped when he saw this, and said angrily, "Okay, I'm just joking."

"Hey, when will we sell wine?" Cheng Chumo asked anxiously.

There is no way not to be in a hurry, isn't so much wine distilled during this period just waiting to be sold.

Now that Lin Xuan finally let go, they were so happy that they could finally see the money.

"How much wine do you have now?" Lin Xuan asked.

He hasn't been here once during this period of time, and he doesn't know if they are lazy.

"5000 altars have already been saved." Li Deju said.

He is in charge of the warehouse, and he knows exactly how many there are.
