Chapter 52 Li Shimin: I have to pay too?

Li Shimin looked at Liu Xuan in confusion: "Liu Xuan, no, second brother, how can you think so of your elder brother."

"Is your elder brother that kind of person?"

Liu Xuan smiled: "You forced me to be sworn brothers, I haven't agreed yet, God hasn't reacted yet, and you're done."

"I'll ask again, what benefits are you going to give me?"

Li Shimin's face suddenly turned as pale as liver, and he was extremely embarrassed.

Just now he heard "what benefits do you want".

"Haha, second brother is really a wonderful person, how do you know that I came here today to give you benefits?"

Liu Xuan smiled faintly and ordered Dazhuang to open the door to welcome the guests.

At the same time, he said indifferently: "It can be seen that you have obtained the permission from above. Apart from other things, the above has awarded you so many things, don't you think I have a share?" ❋

"We have a contract, written in black and white, signed and sealed, do you want to default?"

Li Shimin waved his hand quickly, stroking his beard with a smile: "Second brother, second brother, how come I find that you can't hide anything from you."

"You haven't moved into your new mansion yet?"

"I found some housekeepers for you, all of whom are good at it, from the military, and very smart."

Li Shimin smiled mysteriously, you should be grateful to me now, right? I am not the kind of stingy person. I gave everything to Liu Renyuan, a person with a promising future, without saying a word.

"Oh?" Liu Xuan was shocked. Li Shimin was too generous, wasn't he?

In history, Li Shimin was more generous when he gave his daughter Princess Changle a wedding. At other times, he was tight-fisted and stingy.

Of course, it's not his fault. He didn't have money in his hands and couldn't be generous.

This benefit should not be easy to get. Li Shimin must have other thoughts in mind.

"Old Li, your gift is a bit heavy." Liu Xuan's face became serious.

Li Shimin must have something to ask of him.

After thinking for a while, Liu Xuan spoke earnestly.

"I, Liu Xuan, am a commoner, ordinary as dust."

"The soldiers in the army are the elite of our Tang Dynasty, no less than the treasures handed down from generation to generation. The current emperor is expanding the territory and traveling thousands of miles, so how can they be lacking?"

"Although you, Old Li, are a royal relative, I have to say something about you. You are digging into the corner of the Tang Dynasty and fleecing the Tang Dynasty."

"If the current emperor knew that he had a relative like you, he would probably hit his head against the south wall."

"He is pulling the cart in front, and you are dragging it down in the back..."

Li Shimin's beard was crooked with anger, and his whole body was trembling.

What's wrong with me? I just want the people to have a warm winter, and I have given you a lot of benefits. Why do you slander me out of thin air?

No!

Li Shimin suddenly realized that Liu Xuan was talking about Li Er, not him, Li Shimin.

You scold Li Er, what does it have to do with me, Li Shimin?

Li Shimin smiled and waved his hand: "Hey, second brother, this is wrong."

"Without the approval of the higher-ups, how can I, Li Er, do this?"

"Don't worry, I've brought everyone to you. Winter is coming soon, so you can live in the house peacefully."

Yaya stood in front of him, wearing thick clothes, her little face was red, like a red apple.

"Uncle who gets drunk after one glass of wine, are you hungry and want to eat?"

"Yaya understands me." Li Shimin smiled and touched Yaya's head, "Yaya, uncle wants to eat the latest dishes, tell me, what are the names of the new dishes?"

Yaya looked up seriously: "Uncle who gets drunk after one glass of wine, the new dishes made by Aye are called twice-cooked pork and braised chicken."

When he heard the names, Li Shimin's mouth began to churn subconsciously.

"Quick, quick, quick, Yaya, uncle wants to eat these two dishes, ask Aye to make them."

Yaya didn't move, looking at Li Shimin seriously: "Uncle who gets drunk after one glass of wine, six hundred coins..."

Li Shimin stood up and pretended to be angry: "Liu Xuan, you and I are brothers who have worshipped heaven and earth... brothers."

"Brothers, beloved relatives and friends, can't I have a free meal?"

Liu Xuan smiled indifferently, wanting to make money from the business of Datang Restaurant? That's impossible!

Dear relatives and friends? Brothers? It's good that you don't have to pay more.

"Pay!"

Li Shimin blew his beard and glared, but he couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food, and obediently took out a coin: "Add another bottle of Erguotou."

"It's a hundred coins short." Liu Xuan's voice was calm, like a ruthless money-making machine.

Li Shimin's face twitched: "Pay money if you want. I, Li, have never eaten without paying in my life!"

Liu Xuan took the money bag and said with a smile: "Brother, please go to the second floor!"

Li Shimin was stunned. It turned out that money is still useful.

The reason why Liu Xuan wanted to get Li Shimin to the elegant seat on the second floor was mainly because this guy had to occupy a table with a big horse and a golden sword. There were more than ten tables downstairs. I'm afraid that there will be a constant stream of people eating today. Li Shimin occupied the table and didn't allow others to sit. Wouldn't that be a loss?

Li Shimin, who felt that he was doing well again, swaggered upstairs with his hands behind his back. Looking back at the diners who squeezed in downstairs, he seemed to be showing off: Look, I'm sitting on the second floor!

There are many guests today. Early in the morning, Chang'an City began to get restless.

Outside the Datang Hotel, the queue of people has formed a long line.

Originally, it was just enough to get to the West Market. After all, the intersection of Liquanfang and the West Market is still quite far.

But soon!

It was already crowded with people.

The gossip culture of the people in Chang'an is like a raging fire.

When passers-by saw the queue, their faces were full of confusion.

"What's going on? Why are there so many people?"

"Is there something exciting going on in front?"

The person in the queue heard the passer-by talking and muttered, "What excitement? Everyone is queuing up to eat."

The passer-by rubbed his hands: "Brother, can I join the queue?"

As soon as the words fell, the knife-like eyes had already killed him, and in an instant, he became obedient.

"Everyone, just kidding, just kidding, hehe..."

At this time, among the people in the queue, a merchant who was rubbing walnuts in his hands moved his fat body: "What are you looking at? The dishes in the Datang Restaurant cost hundreds of coins each. Can you afford it?"

"Before queuing, don't you weigh your wallet, hehe..."

You say that merchants have a low status, they are very arrogant, and rich people are full of confidence.

You said they were in high positions, but when they saw the officials, they bowed and kowtowed one after another.

There was a commotion among the crowd.

"So expensive? Are the dishes in Datang Restaurant made of gold or silver?"

"Are you serious?"

The merchant glanced at the diners who were queuing in fear in the crowd and sneered: "Don't eat if you can't afford it."

"Humph, you are rich, so what?"

"Hehe, being rich is great!" The merchant touched his belly and became more and more proud.

"I heard you are very rich?" The man was very young, about fourteen or fifteen years old, squinting his eyes, and when he smiled, he was like a deep pool, unfathomable.
