"Knowing this, why don't you go and prepare some good dishes for me, brother, to make up for it..."
Li Yuan replied angrily, and sat down from Wang Zi'an's seat with a flourish. While chasing Wang Zi'an away like flies, urging him to prepare two nutritious dishes for himself, he shuffled the cards skillfully.
"Hurry up, stop standing, and play with me for a while to enjoy yourself——"
Having said this, he tugged at the large pile of copper coins that Wang Zi'an had won, and glanced at Gao Fu, Lao Geng and others with an uneasy look on his face.
"Are your skills good enough? How come I can't believe that even a novice like Wang Zi'an can beat you so much——"
Gao Fu, Lao Geng and Lao Fang:! ! ! ! ! !
Who are you looking down on?
"What are you talking about? Today is the day when that brat Zian is very lucky, otherwise he would have lost his pants long ago - come on, let me show you the truth!"
…
Wang Zi'an really prepared a table of delicious food for Li Yuan.
Especially for the ginseng stewed venison, several special herbs have been added, which not only improves the taste a lot, but also makes the nourishing effect a bit stronger.
"Come on, brother, try this. I'll keep it for you and let you go back. You'll be so powerful and majestic that you'll serve all the sisters-in-law obediently——"
Su Su and Wu Zetian were not in front of them, and even Wang Xuance and Xi Junmai had the good sense not to come forward.
If there was anything to do, the two of them would rather crowd together with other people and eat a big pot of rice than crowd with a few old men.
That's called being restrained.
Therefore, Wang Zi'an and others spoke more openly.
Li Yuan couldn't help laughing and scolding.
"You brat, even my brother dares to make fun of you - be careful next time I will bring your sisters-in-law to deal with you -"
As he spoke, he stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a piece of venison and put it into his mouth eagerly.
Fresh, fragrant, crispy, tender, smooth...
Taste buds explode.
His eyes were narrowed into small slits in happiness.
“Woooooooooooooooooooooooooo delicious—”
When they saw Li Yuan eating, Gao Fu, Lao Geng, Lao Fang and others were still restrained. They all picked up their chopsticks and were about to eat. However, before they could reach their chopsticks, they were blocked by Wang Zi'an.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute - don't blame me for not warning you. This is a great tonic. Although it tastes delicious, you all seem to be single. You need to be careful when eating this - ahem -"
Gao Fu:......
Lao Geng:......
Lao Fang:......
Damn it, who does this mean?
Are we single eating your rice?
Without saying anything, he picked up a large chopstick and stuffed it into his mouth.
I prefer to eat!
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...
As soon as the chopsticks entered my mouth, I couldn't stop eating.
My uncle's cooking skills are really good, he seems to be even better than before!
Wang Zi'an saw it and quickly took off his chopsticks.
These are all good things. If you are slow to eat, these old foodies will snatch them up.
After finishing the meal, Gao Fu, Lao Geng and Lao Fang drank too much——
Burping from wine, I went out for a walk.
Li Yuan asked Wang Zi'an's boiled water while sipping it slowly and seemingly casually.
"How much can you forge in a year with your forging method that can refining steel hundreds of times..."
"It's hard to say this. It mainly depends on how many people are working and whether there are enough iron ingots - but it will definitely be faster than your original method..."
Even though he has left the government alone, he is still the Supreme Emperor. Isn't it normal for him to know this?
Therefore, Wang Zi'an didn't think much and blurted out.
really!
I knew it must be the work of this brat again.
The little brother he recognized was really amazing. No wonder even his son and his daughter-in-law, who was always known for being dignified and polite, were willing to bend the rules and interact with him as an ordinary person.
To gain peace from a prince is like gaining an army of millions.
I sighed in my heart, but my face remained calm. I swayed the water glass in my hand quite leisurely, squinted my eyes and took a sip. I blew the hot air from the water comfortably and asked casually.
"How much faster can it be -"
I thought to myself, with this brat's method, he must be three to five times faster, otherwise even his unlucky son, no matter how courageous he is, would not dare to take out tens of thousands of kilograms of Bailiang steel to go fishing.
Wang Zi'an thought he already knew it and wanted to confirm it on his side, so he didn't take it seriously. He stood up and poured himself a cup of hot water and replied nonchalantly.
銆愯鐪燂纴chain€杩戜竴鐩inchun镤鍜挭阒呰鐪嬩公杩 must洿锛屾崲婧愬垏鎹纴chain楄K wide pet 壊澶 Pan纴瀹夊崜rules鍧囧彽銆 umbrella€?/p>
"Oh, it's not much faster, maybe a hundred and eighty times faster -"
"puff--"
Li Yuan just took a sip of hot water, but before he could swallow it, he sprayed it out on the spot. He choked and coughed repeatedly. With a shake of his hand, the hot water in the cup poured directly onto his crotch.
He was so frightened that he hurriedly stood up, pulled his crotch, and shook himself.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and was wearing a fine robe made of Sichuan brocade. The water didn't get into it very much, otherwise he would have burned his skin.
Wang Zi'an didn't expect his reaction to be so big, and looked at him with joy.
"Brother, even if we want to rest for a while, there's no need to resort to such measures - if you get burned, my sisters-in-law won't be able to eat me -"
Li Yuan pointed at Wang Zi'an dumbfounded.
"You brat, you dare to make fun of anyone. Believe it or not, I will send you here——"
Although she was said to be a concubine, she actually had no status at all. She was just a new palace maid that Li Shimin had just sent to him. He really didn't take her seriously. Moreover, rewarding ministers and maids is nothing new.
In fact, it was not just Li Yuan, it was not new for other wealthy families to let their concubines come out to entertain guests at night. There are even cases where the concubine is given away directly when the customer likes it.
They were even said to be just a few ordinary palace maids.
As long as you're not pregnant, then it's okay to give it away.
Wang Zi’an:……
Are you ancients so unrestrained when talking about these topics?
Seeing that he successfully suppressed this little brother, Li Yuan couldn't help laughing.
"Is what you just said true or false?"
After recovering from the shock, Li Yuan stood up and poured himself a glass of hot water again, carefully placing it on the table beside him. Just in case, if you really burn your skin, it will be really fun.
"Ah, you don't know-"
Wang Zi'an raised his head in surprise and looked at Li Yuan.
"I thought you already knew it..."
Li Yuan:......
I know shit. It would be weird if that traitor was willing to tell me this.
He said cheerfully while observing Wang Zi'an calmly.
"You know, because of this hundred steelmaking, a big thing happened recently..."
"What's the big deal? Could it be that the forging method has been stolen?"
This was the first thought that crossed Wang Zi'an's mind. Otherwise, what else could happen?
He cursed with some annoyance.
"This dog--ahem, how do your Majesty's people do things? They can't handle such a small thing! How can such a thing be tricked? If this spreads to foreigners, they will all die to apologize..."
Li Yuan:......
Don't think I don't know, you just wanted to scold the Dog Emperor...
This brat is really lawless and has no respect for the imperial power.
But he soon felt relieved.
If it weren't for this reason, I wouldn't be able to talk to this brat.
Even though this brat has the title of Marquis now, he doesn't seem to take this title seriously, nor does he think about doing anything in the court. From the bottom of his heart, he still has an indifferent temperament and regards glory and wealth as such. A worldly master who is floating in the clouds.
Perhaps, this is also the reason why my son dares to trust and favor him so much, and even indulge this brat.
"Does that mean-"
Li Yuan also saw that fishing had nothing to do with Zian. At most, Zian just taught his son a way to improve forging efficiency.
"But something happened to the Wang family, who had a conflict with you. I don't know where they got tens of thousands of kilograms of Bailiang steel, and they secretly transported it to Hezhou, trying to smuggle it to Tibet, but they were killed by Hezhou. Captured on the spot—"
At this point, he let out a laugh, a bit gloating.
"This time, I think the Wang family will have to shed their skin even if they don't die..."
When the rebellious son forced his way into the palace, the aristocratic families like them might not have been behind it.
Now that they have suffered retribution, Li Yuan is naturally happy to see the joke.
What's more, he also knows that what his son is doing now is what he originally wanted to do but did not dare to do. In the long run, weakening or eradicating these aristocratic families will naturally be of no benefit to the Tang Dynasty. Harmful.
Although I know that this is not a gentleman, I feel a little relieved.
He briefly inquired about the forging method, but that was all. He didn't bother to go to the Ordnance Supervisor to see it in person for verification. That was not enough work.
With nothing to do, Li Yuan proposed to play chess with Wang Zi'an.
Wang Zi'an also felt a little itchy.
The main reason is that Gao Fu and others dislike this and are too lazy to play this kind of thing with him, saying that it is not as fun as playing mahjong. A real man should play mahjong and play crappy Go!
Therefore, he felt a little lonely as a master. Li Yuan came today, which was just a chance to change his taste.
"Come, come, come, let's have a game, let you see what it means to be a master in the world -"
Less than ten sons.
Li Yuan stopped and looked at him strangely.
"Will you do it or not?"
Wang Zi'an was not happy when he heard this.
Who do you look down on?
I think back then, among the four roommates in our dormitory, I was firmly in the top three!
"Who are you talking about? I know, you can't understand, can you-"
Wang Zi'an stretched out his hands and drew on the chessboard.
"Let me tell you, my game is called Five-Son Exquisite Chess, which contains the elements of the universe and the principles of heaven and earth - forget it, you won't understand even if I say it, don't play it. If you play it, people will say I bully you -"
Li Yuan:......
He was so angry that his beard almost started to blow.
"Other family, come on, let's play, let me see your five-piece exquisite chess piece that contains the truth of Zhou Tianxing and several heavens and earth -"
Wang Zi'an smiled and pulled out a book of advanced mathematics from under the table, shaking his hands and throwing it to him.
"If you're not convinced, right? If you're not convinced, just take a look at this first. When you understand it, come and talk to me about the game of backgammon - ahem, the exquisite gobang chess -"
Li Yuan took the book and looked through it doubtfully. After taking one look, he suddenly took a breath of cold air.
Although you can't understand it, you can tell it's enigmatic at first glance.
At this time, he himself was a little shaken.
So, just now I was really ignorant and didn’t understand...
Prince An felt reassured and waved his hand with an open-minded expression.
"Forget it, forget it, it's a bit inappropriate to play such an advanced chess game with you. How about we brothers play something new -"
As he spoke, he reached out from under the table and pulled out a strange-looking chessboard, two exquisite flags, and two dice.
"You've never seen it before, right? This thing is called flying chess - come on, I'll teach you how to play..."
Although this chess game is simple to play, it actually tests one's hand strength.
Just like playing pot, you have to master the skill of throwing the dice.
Regarding this, Li Yuan was naturally unwilling to be second to others. After all, he was a famous marksman back then, and Wang Zi'an naturally did his part.
A simple little game actually made two people play it enthusiastically.
The battle lasted until evening, when Gao Fu, Lao Geng and others came back radiant and contented, and the two finally came to an end for the time being.
Smelling the strong smell of rouge on several people, Wang Zi'an couldn't help but raise his head and gave a kind reminder.
"I said, if it really doesn't work out, let's just start a family - I go to places like that too many times, so I might get sick -"
After Wang Zi'an exposed it to his face, the three old guys were not ashamed, laughed and sat down nonchalantly.
"What illness could there be? I and others did not go to some flowery streets and willow alleys to find those messy half-open doors. We went to Yihong Pavilion. They regularly arrange doctors to diagnose and treat those girls. If there is really something sick, we should deal with it as soon as possible. It’s—”
When Lao Geng said this, he clicked his tongue with considerable aftertaste.
"Let me tell you, the girls there are not only young and beautiful, but also very smart, and they can also serve people. If a man doesn't go somewhere, his life in this world will be in vain - uncle, I will take care of you next time Your past experience..."
Before he could finish his words, Gao Fu slapped him on the head.
"What nonsense are you talking about - how can I go to such a messy place -"
Then, Gao Fu turned around, smiled dryly and waved his hand to Wang Zi'an.
"Uncle, please don't listen to this old guy's nonsense——"
After saying that, he cursed again.
"You old thing, you don't know how to speak at such an old age. If my sister-in-law finds out, I will have to skin you..."
Lao Geng also knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he shrank his head, said hey, and stopped talking.
However, looking at that posture, he must not have taken it seriously.
Wang Zi'an looked funny.
There was no need for Gao Fu to remind him that he would not go to that kind of place. With his handsome and handsome appearance, if he went to that kind of place, he would not know who was the girl.
Based on my current situation, if I really think about it, what kind of woman doesn’t exist? Why would I go to that kind of place to be a fellow woman?
However, he was secretly thinking about the possibility of arranging a marriage for Gao Fu and others.
Forget it, let's wait until we get married and find out the specific situation from Ying'er.
