Chapter 23: Old Li Tou must be a strict henpeckist

The two of them talked to Zhao Chen for a while, and then stood up to leave.

The two drunk people helped him out of the tavern.

A big horse fell to the ground.

He slowly got up again and continued walking forward.

Lao Cheng and Xiao Qin.

Zhao Chen could also guess some in his mind. ??

After all, Old Li told him yesterday that the woman in red was Li Jing's daughter.

And the people who can be beaten by Li Ruoshuang will naturally not be ordinary people.

Old Cheng and Xiao Qin are presumably also the sons of Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong.

This is the noble descendant of the Tang Dynasty.

It's not as hateful as Zhao Chen thought before.

He is just an ordinary person.

"Hey, how come this old Li hasn't woken up yet? It's not like he's so drunk." After Zhao Chen cleared the table, he thought of a drunkard in his backyard.

…

Li Shimin is very difficult.

He was thinking of coming over to talk to Zhao Chen, but he didn't expect to encounter something like that.

He was drunk again by that boy Zhao Chen with a jar of wine.

Li Shimin was very worried about whether he said anything he shouldn't have said after he was drunk.

If the identity of this boy Zhao Chen is revealed, things will go wrong.

Well, I guess that boy Zhao Chen wouldn't believe what a drunkard said.

After thinking about it, Li Shimin felt more relieved.

After gathering himself, Li Shimin pushed the door open and saw Zhao Chen walking towards him with a faint smile on his face.

"Old Li Tou, you're awake." Zhao Chen said with a smile.

"Wake up." Li Shimin nodded and looked at Zhao Chen.

Seeing that there was no strange look on Zhao Chen's face, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. He was still a little worried and asked, "Zhao Chen, after I was drunk yesterday, I didn't say anything nonsense, right?"

"What do you want to say?" Zhao Chen looked at Lao Li strangely.

This old Li is a little strange.

"It's okay. I was just worried that after being drunk, I said something bad about your aunt, and you listened and complained to me." Li Shimin smiled awkwardly.

Zhao

Chen glanced at Lao Litou.

He secretly thought that this old Li Tou turned out to be a strict wife.

I guess it's because I have been oppressed by Mrs. Li all year round, and I feel so nervous even when I have a drink.

Sure enough, being single like me is still comfortable.

"By the way, where is Li Ruoshuang? He hasn't woken up yet?" Li Shimin asked, remembering the scene he encountered yesterday.

Zhao Chen was fine at all. After all, the crazy girl still hadn't woken up.

How about taking advantage of the moment and letting this kid Zhao Chen run away?

If he is caught by that crazy girl, even I can't say I can save him.

"Zhao Chen..."

"The girl has gone back. You see, this is the money she left for food, drinks, accommodation, and the damage to the tavern."

"Not much, just five hundred coins." Zhao Chen took out the purse left by Li Ruoshuang and showed two rows of white teeth.

"Five hundred coins? She didn't do anything to you?" Li Shimin's face twitched and he glanced around Zhao Chen.

Seeing that he didn't have any injuries at all, I couldn't help but feel even more strange.

According to Li Shimin's expectation, since Li Ruoshuang woke up, he would naturally deal with Zhao Chen first.

Who would have thought that this kid Zhao Chen didn't have any scars at all, yet he could get so much money from Li Ruoshuang.

Li Ruoshuang even gave her wallet to Zhao Chen. Could it be that she fell in love with this boy?

Well, although marriage is not allowed with the same surname, Zhao Xiaozi’s surname is Zhao and not Li, so it’s not a big problem.

If Li Jing can support him, hehe...

This kid really doesn't just know how to write and draw.

If I let him succeed me as the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, maybe...

Li Shimin suddenly had an idea in his mind.

…

"Boy Zhao, actually I came here yesterday because I had something important to tell you."

"Unexpectedly, your kid didn't do anything good and just got someone drunk."

After eating and drinking, Li Shimin rubbed his belly and glared at Zhao Chen.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Chen asked casually and put down his chopsticks.

Seeing Zhao Chen being so indifferent, Li Shimin resisted the urge to beat him up and forced a smile on his face, "Your aunt found a good job for you through her connections."

"After all, you are still so young, you can't stay in this tavern all your life."

"I don't think there's anything wrong with opening a tavern. A happy life lasts for decades, and an unhappy life lasts for decades. Why don't I live a happier life?" Zhao Chen smiled.

Obviously he was not very interested in the good job that Old Li Tou said.

Of course, his aunt, Mrs. Li, was not feeling well, but she still remembered him, and Zhao Chen was very grateful.

"Having said that, you have to do something in life." Li Shimin advised.

He could see the rejection on Zhao Chen's face and the gratitude in his eyes.

It was said that Queen Changsun was looking for Zhao Chen's errand, and it was also to bring Zhao Chen closer to Queen Changsun.

In a few days, when Queen Changsun was feeling better, Li Shimin decided to bring her to meet Zhao Chen.

It can be regarded as the first meeting after unilaterally confirming the identity.

Queen Changsun must also be happier.

But it was obvious that Zhao Chen's attention was not on this.

Li Shimin was still about to speak when he heard Zhao Chen ask with a smile, "Old Li Tou, to be honest, are you marrying into my aunt's house?"

"Obviously, there is someone above my aunt, otherwise you should have helped me find this good job.

"Old Li Tou, is it difficult for you at home?"

"But it doesn't matter. As long as you live a happy life, Lao Litou, it's fine to eat soft food. I won't look down on you."

Zhao Chen spoke like an old Li, almost preventing Li Shimin from drawing his sword on the spot.

What the hell did this bastard say?

When did Li Shimin, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, become a freeloader?

I need you, a little brat, to look after you?

There are tens of millions of people in the Tang Dynasty. How dare you look down on me if you don't care about your life?

Seeing that Lao Li was panting heavily with anger, Zhao Chen

Smiling inwardly.

This old Li Tou has a bad character. These few words made him angry.

If Li Shimin knew that Zhao Chen had such thoughts, he would probably be so angry that he fainted on the spot.

"What kind of good job can you tell me?" Zhao Chen was still a little curious as to what kind of good job Mrs. Li had found for herself.

Anyway, if you listen, you won’t suffer.

Li Shimin was about to walk away, but he cursed in his heart that Zhao Chen was like a rotten tree that cannot be carved.

Zhao Chen suddenly asked, saying that he actually had an idea.

Then he suppressed the surging anger in his heart and said, "Salt and Iron Transfer Envoy."

"The imperial court has established the Ministry of Salt and Iron to control salt and iron, which is managed by the government. There are thirty-six salt and iron transfer envoys in the entire Tang Dynasty, who are called salt and iron governors."

"Your aunt knew that you were in poor health, so she asked someone to find a Chang'an transport envoy for you, so that you don't have to travel around!"

Li Shimin told Zhao Chen in detail.

Zhao Chen was stunned for a moment, then he cupped his hands towards Lao Li and said, "Please thank my aunt for her love. Zhao Chen is very grateful."

Zhao Chen was suddenly so humble, which surprised Li Shimin.

But thinking about it, I feel relieved.

Although this kid is unconventional, he still knows good and bad.

After Zhao Chen finished speaking, he sat down.

He did not expect that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty would actually want to create a monopoly.

Moreover, salt and iron have a monopoly together.

Will it be possible for the common people to use their hands to dig up the ground in the future?

Or do you mean they don’t need to eat salt anymore?

Did Li Er not know why the former Sui Dynasty died so quickly?

Being a salt and iron transporter is indeed a good job. With such a position, wouldn't the big guys in the court be fighting over it?

Zhao Chen also realized it.

His aunt's background seemed to be much bigger than he imagined.
