Chapter 2 Everyone is a show person

"You two want to eat?" Zhao Chen raised his head and asked with a smile.

At the same time, his eyes were looking at the two people in front of him without leaving any trace.

The brocade silk and satin are woven from the finest Shu brocade.

The best green jade hangs around his waist. This jade pendant alone can buy his tavern.

Absolutely rich man.

The food in Zhao Chen's tavern is absolutely first-class and high-end. Ordinary people would never come here to eat.

This is why the tavern is deserted.

But the person in front of him was definitely a rich man. Thinking that he would make a fortune later, Zhao Chen was in a good mood.

"Of course I came here to have a meal, but I have a question and would like to ask my little brother to answer it!" Li Shimin said calmly with his hands behind his back.

Zhao Chen said nothing and waited for Li Shimin to speak with a calm expression.

Li Shimin looked at Zhao Chen with a hint of surprise in his heart.

Although he went on tour incognito today, he has been in a high position for a long time, so his momentum is naturally extraordinary.

Ordinary people would feel on pins and needles if they were stared at by him.

This kid...

"The signboard of 'Wangyou Tavern' outside must have been written by Hongru. I have studied calligraphy for many years, but I have never seen anyone with such exquisite writing skills."

"I would like to ask my little brother to introduce you to me. There will definitely be a generous reward!" Li Shimin said with a smile, but he was already looking forward to it.

He should have seen all the great Confucian scholars of our time and those with exquisite writing skills.

But no one has reached the top like Tavern.

"There is no such thing as a scholar. The words outside are just what I wrote casually to pass the time!" Zhao Chen waved his hand with a smile.

Hearing Zhao Chen's words, Li Shimin's pupils shrank slightly, but he became calm as before.

He looked at Changsun Wuji and found that Changsun Wuji had the same doubt on his face.

A teenage boy with such exquisite writing skills?

It's really unbelievable.

"If you two don't believe it, you can come to my study and take a look." Zhao Chen smiled and extended his hand to invite the two of them.

These two people were obviously rich. For the sake of the tavern's profits, Zhao Chen felt it was necessary to show off his skills to them.

Anyway, in my free time, I also write and draw in the study.

Although many of them were taken to the kitchen to be lit on fire, there are also many that remain today.

The two of them followed Zhao Chen into his study with doubts.

As soon as they entered the study room, Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji were completely stunned on the spot, looking straight at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, unable to open their eyes.

"Gudong——"

In the quiet study room, the sound of Changsun Wuji swallowing hard could be heard.

Li Shimin turned around and looked at Zhao Chen with shock in his eyes.

"Little brother, these...are all your handiwork?" Li Shimin tried hard not to let his emotions fluctuate.

But when he spoke, he still stuttered.

Li Shimin was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. He led troops to serve the king at the age of sixteen. He had never seen anything like this before.

But he has really never seen this scene today.

"The painting in front of me is so lifelike, and the characters in the painting look like real people."

"I have been immersed in calligraphy and painting for decades, but I have never seen such a stunning painting."

“Calligraphy and paintings, such masterpieces were all created by one person!”

Li Shimin was secretly shocked, but he didn't say a word.

After all, he is the emperor. Even if his mood is turbulent, Li Shimin must maintain a calm attitude.

"It's just a simple sketch. Through the combination of light and shadow, structural position, and object dialysis, it only requires a piece of charcoal. It couldn't be simpler!" Zhao Chen said with a smile.

Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji's faces twitched fiercely when they heard this.

Couldn't be simpler?

They browsed many famous paintings in the world,

Never before have I seen such a masterpiece.

Li Shimin stood in front of the painting and didn't know what to say.

Changsun Wuji looked at the calligraphy framed on the wall, but his fingers could no longer control themselves and were lightly copying.

Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji now believed that all these calligraphy, paintings and calligraphy were written by Zhao Chen.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to speak so coherently.

A young man who is not even a weakling has such ability.

Looking at Zhao Chen's slightly childish face, Li Shimin became more curious than before he came in.

After chatting in the study for a while, the few of them gradually became familiar with each other.

Zhao Chen knew that the man named Lao Li in front of him was a rich man from Shu.

The man next to him named Lao Zhang is the housekeeper of Lao Li's family.

Although it was a bit strange that a housekeeper could wear Yun brocade, Zhao Chen did not study it in detail.

To open a tavern, as long as the customers are generous, it will be fine.

A few people exchanged a few words and then walked from the study to the tavern in front.

Just as Li Shimin was about to sit down, he saw framed behind the counter, Zhao Chen had just finished writing the words Bamboo stick and mango shoes are better than horses, who is afraid? You can live your whole life in mist and rain!

"Brother Zhao, who wrote this word? Why have you never heard of it?" Li Shimin had already shifted his attention from calligraphy to the words.

You can live your whole life in mist and rain!

Really good words.

"There is no wake or drunkenness, no joy or sorrow, no memory of victory or defeat, good words, good words!" Changsun Wuji pondered for a moment, and couldn't help but utter words of praise.

"Little brother, this word really has a unique charm. If I hadn't experienced many vicissitudes of life, I definitely wouldn't have been able to write such a beautiful sentence!"

"Who wrote this sentence?" Changsun Wuji asked.

Like a curious baby.

They came to the "Wangyou Tavern" today. Although they haven't eaten yet, the two of them were already filled with shock.

Changsun Wuji glanced at Zhao Chen and thought about his words secretly.

It's not like he did it too.

At this age...

It shouldn't be possible.

Changsun Wuji thought to himself.

Li Shimin said nothing and looked at Zhao Chen expectantly.

He also wanted to know where this sentence came from.

Why has he, who has read so many books, never heard of it?

"This word is just something I came up with a few days ago. It's just something I did casually. It's nothing!" Zhao Chen smiled slightly.

How can you say that you are plagiarizing things about scholars?

"Cough——" Li Shimin coughed suddenly, as if he couldn't accept Zhao Chen's answer for a while.

Changsun Wuji was stunned, not knowing what to say.

"Sir, lunch is ready!" Uncle Fu's voice suddenly came from the kitchen.

Then I saw Uncle Fu coming to the front with a large plate of braised pork.

Seeing the two strangers looking at the framed words in shock, Uncle Fu showed a rather proud look on his face.

Even if you search the entire Tang Dynasty, you won't be able to find anyone with this kind of skill.

"Lao Li, Lao Zhang, guests are welcome. We will eat other dishes later. Let's try the braised pork today!" Zhao Chen pulled the two of them to sit down on the stools.

The reason why he said this was that, firstly, Uncle Fu would not have to work anymore, and secondly, after the two of them had eaten this braised pork meal, Zhao Chen would not be afraid that they would not come back in the future.

Next time you come again, you will naturally get another amount of money in your account.

Being pulled by Zhao Chen to sit down, Li Shimin felt a little resistant.

He is a noble person. Except for those who are close to him, has he ever had anyone get so close to him?

However, at this moment, he was full of curiosity about Zhao Chen.

Moreover, Zhao Chen did not know his identity, but Li Shimin sat down quietly.

Changsun Wuji's mouth twitched fiercely.

Even he did not dare to take the initiative to make His Majesty the Emperor sit down.

This kid is the first!
