Tang Sufan saw that everyone was still holding their chopsticks, even that guy Lao Cheng was eager to try, so he smiled and said.
"Everyone, stop being polite here and use your chopsticks——"
At this time, Tang Sufan concentrated his attention.
Everyone's eyes were obviously directed in the direction of Lao Li at the same time, rather than in the direction of his master...
Suddenly, a crazy idea emerged from Tang Sufan's heart, and Tang Sufan was so frightened that he quickly pressed it back.
However, the eyebrows are already filled with doubts involuntarily...
…
"As expected, it's your boy's cooking. It tastes so good~"
As soon as he picked up a piece of fried mutton and put it into his mouth, Cheng Yaojin breathed out a refreshing breath, swallowing the hot air in his mouth.
He quickly took off his chopsticks and quickly picked up another dish.
It's so fast, I'm afraid I'll be slow.
Even if Qin Qiong holds a piece of chicken nugget and relaxes it in her mouth, the tender and spicy taste immediately fills her mouth.
What follows is the strong aroma of chicken and the fullness of the meaty flavor. Especially the taste, which is different from dogwood, is slightly spicy and mellow, making people feel instantly addicted.
He immediately pointed at the dishes on the table with his chopsticks, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "It's really delicious! In all my years of living, this is the first time I've tasted such delicious food, good food and wine, hahahaha, it's really beautiful~"
"Hahaha, the food cooked by Mr. Tang is definitely one of a kind -"
Niu Jinda, on the other hand, had long been silent and had already begun to eat.
Cheng Yaojin's eyes widened, what an old cow! Actually grabbing food!
He immediately took the chopsticks and the chopsticks rained down.
There is a heater in the living room, and the heat is still coming from the elbow outside the door.
After eating for a while, Tang Sufan looked dull and suddenly asked Li Shimin while eating.
"Hey Lao Li, why hasn't your official position changed yet? It's almost a month since you handed in the horseshoe, right?"
Li Shimin was eating happily, but he didn't expect this kid to suddenly ask such a question.
His face was stunned for a moment, and he quickly searched his mind, and then replied: "No, it's not even a month yet. This matter is important, but there is already news~"
"Is there any movement? What rank is your official residence? Do you know what the position is?"
Tang Sufan looked strange and continued to ask.
"Didn't XX tell you before? XX has already met with the Holy Father. This horseshoe is of great importance and cannot be disclosed easily. Why don't you suppress it first? Besides, XX's official position, you are a person who has no intention of officialdom. What are you worrying about..."
After Li Shimin finished speaking, he gave Li Xiaogong a vague look.
That means hurry up and fool this kid, otherwise it will be really troublesome for him to ask questions.
Li Xiaogong heard God's intention and said quickly.
"Su Fan, don't worry. This horseshoe is a weapon to strengthen the army. It is a proper military merit. At least starting from the fifth rank. When the time comes, with us in the court, the Li Dong family's career will not be a problem~"
"Oh~ That's it...Rank 5...that's enough~"
Tang Sufan raised his eyebrows and said with an inexplicable expression.
"This... Su Fan, you came up with this horseshoe too?"
At this time, Qin Qiong also helped change the topic.
"Hey, it's just a small utensil. Help my father-in-law find an official position. In the future, I will ask you to take care of me in the court. Thank you very much!"
Tang Sufan also pretended to be a salute and cupped his hands, acting like a good son-in-law.
But after hearing this sentence, the sound of chopsticks suddenly stopped for everyone at the table except Cheng Yaojin.
They all looked at Tang Sufan in disbelief, almost feeling old-fashioned—
"What, Li Dongjia is your father-in-law?!"
Tang Jian's eyes widened and he almost dropped his chopsticks in fright, and asked quickly.
He was the first person to compete to be Tang Sufan's brother. At this time, his face looked as bitter as eating a bitter melon...
Not only Tang Jian, but also Li Xiaogong and Qin Qiong's expressions froze.
Tang Sufan pretended not to see the expressions of this group of people and said calmly.
"Haha, everyone is laughing. Although I call him Lao Li, we do... um, haha, everyone understands."
After receiving Tang Sufan's generous recognition, everyone suddenly felt like countless grass and mud horses were galloping~
You should have told me earlier! ! ! ! !
If you don’t know, I thought you and His Majesty were good brothers!
It makes us dare not go beyond the courtesy of a monarch and a minister and call you an equal...
This, this, this...
It's so annoying!
And Cheng Yaojin looked at the faces of everyone who suddenly darkened with pain, and his big face turned red...
It seems like laughing, but I can’t laugh~
Cheng Yaojin even pinched his own thigh!
Hahahaha, anyway, Chu Mo and Su Fan are brothers, I am a generation older than you...
So cool! Cool!
Even for a moment, everyone looked at Li Shimin unintentionally with a somewhat resentful expression.
My Majesty!
It’s so hard for us to hide this from you~
Li Shimin coughed twice quickly. These old boys were all vying to argue with this boy about their peers. What do I care about?
Ahem, I don’t care, I’m right~
"Everyone, everyone..."
Tang Sufan smiled and said hello again, and then continued: "My father-in-law sometimes doesn't understand the rules of officialdom. I would like to ask you to take care of me in the future~"
He even brought up a glass of wine, which made everyone dumbfounded and downed the glass of wine. They had to answer the question again and again.
After a few conversations and a few drinks.
Having just reluctantly skipped this topic, Qin Qiong asked: "Su Fan, I really want to know, with your talent and learning, why don't you join the army and serve the imperial court? I would like to recommend it to you personally!"
Qin Qiong really couldn't figure out why His Majesty would not show love for such a talented person.
At this time, Yuchi Gong also patted his chest and said, "Yes, Mr. Tang, if you are willing to join the army, I am also willing to help you!"
Although it was a bit embarrassing to think about being slapped down by this kid that day.
But Yuchi Gong had to admit that this boy might have the courage of a king. With such a talent, if he could enter their military commander's camp, he would be a handsome man in the future!
Tang Sufan smiled freely.
"Haha, thank you all for your kindness, but the war is not of much significance to me after all. Although joining the army to defend the country can still lead to glory and wealth, but fighting back and forth can't bring Yongning to the border. It's better to do this than Be a rich man with peace of mind."
Hearing this voice, "Brother," and those who used to talk about brothers conquering the world with Li Shimin, their mouths twitched when they heard it, but now they have to pinch their noses to acknowledge it.
Hearing the border, Li Shimin's DNA immediately moved and he said quickly.
"Su Fan, although you are very knowledgeable, you are wrong on this point~"
Tang Sufan raised the corner of his mouth: "Am I wrong?"
Seeing Li Shimin speak, Qin Qiong and others were wise enough not to answer.
"Even if we sweep across Mobei and banish the wolf to Xu, a single attack will result in the death of countless soldiers and a drain on national power. At most, it will bring peace to the people within the pass for decades or even a hundred years~"
"So, instead of thinking about the way of war day and night, it is better to think about the way of peace..."
"The way of peace~"
Qin Qiong pinched his beard, couldn't help but put down his chopsticks, and picked up his wine glass——
"But outsiders are shameless and have ambitions that are hard to get rid of. There will eventually be a dispute between the two sides~"
