Chapter 223 I admit that your legs are long, but the future of Datang is even longer
The reconstruction of the ice pu is progressing exceptionally smoothly.

However, in just three days, the originally empty ice shop site has taken on a new shape.

Thanks to the high salary offered by Su Chen, the workers are enthusiastic and motivated.

“It looks like the new ice shop will be ready in less than five days.”

After walking around for a while, Su Chen said with a smile: “It’s much faster than I imagined.”

Wang Xuance nodded. Normally, the construction of a house would take at least a month, but when there were many people and they were full of enthusiasm, the efficiency would increase dramatically.

Moreover, the construction of ice paving did not require the pouring of reinforced concrete like in later generations. It was mostly built with wood, so the time was relatively reduced a lot.

“No one has come to cause trouble recently, right?”

“how come?”

Wang Xuance grinned.

The King of Wei has been dealt with, and the King of Qi is staying at home obediently, researching explosives. Who would come to trouble them?

“By the way, sir, after the ice shop is built, can we find a shopkeeper to take charge?”

“what happened?”

Su Chen looked over and saw Wang Xuance whispering, “Now the ice shop business has been fully developed. We just need a reliable shopkeeper to be in charge of the ice shop business.”

“We have been managing the ice shop business and have fallen behind in training. We have recently hired some new employees. If we don’t train them, their level won’t be able to keep up.”

Su Chen looked at Wang Xuance with a smile, as if thinking about something.

I think Wang Xuance is not used to doing business, just like Jin Yong at the beginning.

Although the grocery store was opened on Jiangnan Road, this guy still maintained the temperament of a warrior.

He also thought about giving up his business in Jiangnan Road and coming back to be his bodyguard.

Now as we enter the autumnal equinox, the weather is gradually turning cooler, and the ice shop business is naturally not as popular as before.

Finding a trustworthy shopkeeper to look after the ice shop can also free them up.

Su Chen pondered: “Do you have a suitable candidate?”

Wang Xuance: “Miss Xu!”

Su Chen frowned, “Xu Hui?”

Wang Xuance nodded. “Miss Xu is smart and thoughtful. Her abilities are far superior to Xu Qizhuang’s. There will be no problem letting her manage the ice shop.”

Su Chen thought for a moment and said, “The ice shop is different from the newspaper office. I wonder if she will agree.”

“How about this.”

“I’ll take care of the shopkeeper’s affairs. You guys just take care of it for a few days.”

“it is good.”

After getting Su Chen’s reply, Wang Xuance smiled and nodded.

Su Chen patted his shoulder and brought Sun Qiang to the newspaper office.

“Brother Su.”

“Miss Xu.”

Su Chen nodded, “Where’s Xu Qizhuang?”

Xu Hui smiled and said, “I heard that some bodies were found in a forest in Shangzhou, so he took Jiang Yang there.”

Su Chen’s eyes jumped, “Shangzhou?”

Xu Hui: “Yes, I don’t know exactly where it was. I just heard them mention it, and then I left in a hurry.”

“A lot of bodies?”

“It is said that there are a lot of …”

Xu Hui explained, “It was discovered by accident when a hunter went into the mountains to hunt.”

Su Chen tapped his folding fan, looking a little thoughtful.

Xu Hui: “Brother Su, what’s the matter with you coming here this time?”

Su Chen smiled and said, “It’s not a big deal. It’s just that Wang Xuance and his men have been staying in the ice shop for a long time and are planning to change the shopkeeper. They recommended you to me.”

“So I want to ask what you think. If you don’t want to, I will arrange for someone else to take care of the ice shop.”

Xu Hui was surprised: “Brother Wang recommended me to you?”

Su Chen nodded: “Yes, he said that you are very capable and can handle this matter.”

Xu Hui thought about it and said with a smile: “Then Brother Su, do you think I can do it?”

Su Chen: “With your ability, it shouldn’t be difficult to handle the ice shop, but I’m worried that you can’t accept it.”

Xu Hui: “I accept.”

Su Chen was a little surprised. Xu Hui smiled and said, “The ice shop business has already been rolled out. At most, we can record the daily sales of ice cubes. At most, we can just hand over to some merchants with higher demand.”

Su Chen smiled and nodded, “That’s right, so I’m a little worried that leaving you at the ice shop is a waste of your talent.”

“Does Brother Su have any other suitable candidates?”

“not yet.”

“Why don’t I try it first, and if it doesn’t work, Brother Su will choose someone else?”

“Alright.”

Su Chen nodded.

After deciding this matter, the two chatted for a while. When Su Chen was about to leave, Chang Sun Chong came to his door.

“Su Chen.”

“Captain Changsun.”

Su Chen smiled and nodded in greeting, “But do you want to publish an article?”

Chang Sun Chong waved his hand and said, “I don’t have the leisure time. I just came to see you.”

“Oh?”

Su Chen smiled and said, “I’m sorry to trouble Captain Changsun to come and look for me personally, but what happened at the medical school?”

“That’s not true.”

Chang Sun Chong shook his head and said in a deep voice: “The princess has recovered a lot from her respiratory disease and is now able to get out of bed and walk.”

“This is all thanks to Brother Su, I haven’t thanked you yet, I will host a banquet at my house today and personally invite you to the banquet, please don’t refuse, Brother Su.”

Oh hoo.

Su Chen looked at Chang Sun Chong with interest, but Chang Sun Chong felt a little embarrassed.

After all, when Su Chen invited him to drink before, he ran away on his own.

It is more or less awkward to come here in person to invite him now, and I am worried that Su Chen will not give me face.

“That’s a good thing.”

Su Chen smiled, “When?” Seeing that Su Chen did not refuse, Chang Sun Chong quietly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: “I will be at the Princess’s Mansion at 5 p.m., Brother Su must come and show us the time.”

“must.”

Su Chen nodded.

Chang Sun Chong smiled and said, “In that case, I won’t bother Brother Su anymore.”

After watching Chang Sun Chong leave, Sun Qiang couldn’t help but say, “Sir, this Chang Sun Chong is really interesting. Last time when you invited him to drink, he was the only one who didn’t give you face. What did you agree to do with him just now?”

“Different.”

Su Chen waved his hand.

It is understandable that Chang Sun Chong did not give him face because of the medical school matter.

On the surface, he is His Majesty’s representative and spy, and if he gets too close to me, it will be difficult to explain to His Majesty.

But this time it’s different.

Chang Sun Chong came to the banquet on behalf of the princess to thank him for his help. This honor was not given to him but to Princess Changle.

“Miss Xu, we’re leaving first.”

“it is good.”

After leaving the newspaper office, Su Chen took Sun Qiang to pick out a gift and gave it to Princess Changle at the banquet.

Princess House.

Li Lizhi’s complexion has improved a lot. Her face is rosy and shiny. She is like a completely different person compared to before.

Dressed as a maid, she looked delicate and beautiful, but also had a bit of ladylike elegance.

“The princess looks so beautiful today.”

“Yes, it’s been a long time since I saw the princess look like this.”

“You are just sweet-talkers.”

Li Lizhi smiled sweetly and looked at herself in the mirror, feeling that it was a little unreal.

If the prince had not taken great pains to find the Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Disorders, and if Dr. Sun had not provided her with careful treatment, she would probably still be lying on the bed, unable to get up.

“By the way, has Master Su arrived?”

“This slave doesn’t know.”

“But the captain went to invite him personally, so he should come.”

Li Lizhi nodded. Su Chen also made an important contribution to finding the Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Disorders.

It is no exaggeration to say that he was her savior.

After dressing up carefully, Li Lizhi came to the main hall accompanied by her maid.

“Beauty…”

Li Chengqian and others who were chatting looked over with smiles.

“Looking good.”

“I haven’t thanked my brother the prince yet.”

“Hey, hey, hey, between you and me, what’s the point of saying thank you or not?”

Li Chengqian laughed, waved his hand, pointed at Li Tai and said, “Your fourth brother and fifth brother have carefully prepared gifts for you.”

“It’s just that I came in a hurry and didn’t prepare any gifts. Please don’t blame me, Li Zhi.”

Li Lizhi smiled and said, “Brother Crown Prince, what are you talking about? If it weren’t for Brother Crown Prince, I would still be lying in bed.”

Li Tai said with a smile: “The girl is indeed much better than before. When she came just now, I asked someone to prepare some nourishing food.”

“You are weak now, so you should take good care of yourself. Of course, you must follow the instructions of Dr. Sun and not overdo it.”

Li Lizhi nodded and thanked him: “Thank you, Fourth Brother.”

Li You smiled and said, “Li Zhi, you know that I am not as careful as my elder brother and fourth brother, but I still have strength. Now that the weather is getting colder, I have prepared a top-quality fox fur cloak for you.”

“This fox fur cape is made from the white fox I hunted myself.”

Li Lizhi thanked him again: “Thank you, Fifth Brother.”

“Sister, sister, and we…”

Little Li Zhi and other princes and princesses came running over and surrounded Li Lizhi with smiles on their faces.

For a moment, family love was everywhere.

Su Chen smacked his lips. If he didn’t know the inside story, he would have thought it was someone’s family reunion.

Li Xueyan whispered, “What are you thinking about?”

Su Chen glanced at Li Xueyan’s long legs cheerfully and whispered, “The princess looks very beautiful today.”

Li Xueyan raised her eyebrows and pulled up her skirt calmly, “What about me?”

you……

Su Chen looked at the pair of embroidered shoes covering the white socks and said in a deep voice: “I admit that your legs are long, but the future of the Tang Dynasty is even longer.”

“???”

Li Xueyan frowned with a puzzled look on her face.

“Just kidding.”

“…”

Li Xueyan rolled her eyes at him.

At this time, Li Lizhi came over and asked, “Mr. Su, what are you talking about with Sister Xueyan?”

“Meet Princess Changle.”

Su Chen smiled and bowed, “Just a few words.”

Li Lizhi raised her hand to stop him and thanked him, “Lizhi is able to get better this time, all thanks to Mr. Su’s help.”

Su Chen waved his hand, “You’re welcome, Princess.”

“I have also prepared a gift for the princess this time. I hope the princess will accept it.”

“Thank you, Master Su.”

Li Lizhi smiled and nodded, looking around as if she was looking for someone.

Chang Sun Chong strode in, followed by a group of servants carrying delicious food.

Although Changsun Chong is the son of a duke, he is also a royal consort. Naturally, all the things that Princess Changle has no time to arrange fall on him.

After arranging everything, he sat down next to Li Lizhi.

The banquet was just beginning.
