Lao Li's Wonton House.
It was just renovated today. It has two floors and a backyard. Although this location is not on the edge of the imperial city, it is still very valuable.
Especially near the gate of the West Market, the flow of people is very huge, making it the best place to do business.
To purchase such a house, I'm afraid it would cost about a thousand guan.
Fortunately, after Li Chengqian was kicked out of the palace, Jin Wang Li Zhi secretly gave Li Chengqian some money through Wang Gonggong, but the money was only five hundred guan at most. As for the jade pendant, ordinary pawn shops would not dare to accept it.
But Li Ke also gave Li Chengqian a five-hundred-guan note. As for whether Li Chengqian took it, Li Ke didn't ask.
But Li Chengqian’s wonton restaurant is now open.
When Li Ke came to the door, he stood at the bill collection area at the door, seeming to be settling accounts. Miss You Ning was arranging the tables, chairs and benches for the boys who had just been summoned.
The door to the backyard was open, and there were a lot of shouts from people inside, as well as bursts of fragrance, as if they were cooking.
"Brother!"
Li Ke walked in, but Li Chengqian didn't notice, not even Miss Youning.
Li Chengqian heard someone calling him "big brother", and the voice was very familiar. He raised his head suddenly and was stunned. He didn't speak for a long time, just looking at Li Ke blankly.
"Brother, your business is open, and you don't even know how to say hello to me?"
After Li Ke entered the Tang Dynasty, he found a place and sat down.
Li Chengqian walked silently from the backstage to Li Ke, then sat down next to him, and then waved to You Ning. You Ning looked a little scared, she was afraid that the person in front of her was here to cause trouble.
Although Li Chengqian used to be the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, he was demoted to a commoner now and was kicked out of the palace. He had nothing to do with the royal family at all.
When he was the prince, he must have offended many nobles. Could it be that these people came to take revenge on his husband?
Li Ke saw You Ning tiptoeing up behind Li Chengqian and looking at him with fear. Li Ke stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Sister-in-law, don't be afraid. I am Li Ke. I am the third eldest child in the family!"
Then, Li Ke took out a stack of one-hundred-guan notes from his arms and said with a smile: "I didn't bring any gifts when we met for the first time. My eldest brother knows that I am a wealthy person. The meeting gift is to throw money and invite my sister-in-law." Don’t be offended, please accept it.”
You Ning breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that it was Li Chengqian's third brother. She heard Li Chengqian say that the person he hated the most in the palace was the third brother, but the person he admired the most was also the third brother. The third brother did things above board.
Poof!
Miss You Ning felt relieved, and she was amused by Li Ke.
Indeed, although he has never seen anything big in the world, he has never seen anyone give money as a greeting gift.
But even though she was Li Chengqian's third brother, she didn't dare to accept the prince's money.
She looked at Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian didn't speak, but Li Ke stretched out his hand for a long time and kept giving it to her.
There is no way, this third child is too enthusiastic.
So she slowly took the money ticket. When she saw the numbers on it, she was shocked. A dozen tickets for a hundred dollars?
You Ning immediately swallowed his saliva, held the money in both hands and began to shirk: "Your Majesty, we can't accept this money, it's too much..."
Li Chengqian glanced at the money in You Ning's hand and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. The third child was indeed very rich. Just because he knew about it, the third child had given away tens of thousands of dollars.
However, the third child came to see him today, probably not just to give money. BIquGe.biz
"Take it!"
"I, Li Chengqian, can still accept the money given by the third brother. After all, he still recognizes me as his eldest brother."
"Unlike some people, hehehe..."
Li Chengqian said with an expression of disappointment on his face. The King of Yue and he were brothers from the same mother. He was deposed as the crown prince and expelled from the palace, but he never came to see him, let alone help him.
But Li Zhi was still young, so he asked someone to give him life-saving money. However, Li Ke, his half-brother who had had a life-and-death fight with him and was almost killed by him, repaid evil with kindness.
Not only did he help him and rescue him again and again, but he also protected Youning when he was trapped in the palace.
Although his purpose of coming today is not pure, at least he is here to congratulate him on his new starting point in life.
After so many things, Li Chengqian has truly grown up.
You Ning bowed slightly in embarrassment and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. The gift you gave me has surpassed the money I have earned in my lifetime."
"If anything happens in the future, just go to your sister-in-law Li Shuwan. She will help you settle everything."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for taking care of me."
Li Ke sniffed his nose and said with a smile: "I have long heard that my sister-in-law has extraordinary craftsmanship and the wontons she makes have a unique flavor. I wonder if I will be lucky enough to taste them today?"
You Ning smiled, feeling very ashamed. The King of Shu was the inventor of stir-fry in the world, and now the most delicious things in the world are in heaven and earth.
She lived in heaven and earth for a while, and the food there was indeed delicious.
"Your Majesty wants to eat, I will do it immediately."
Li Chengqian was very dissatisfied and said calmly: "You Ning, I will call you third brother from now on. I have fallen like this. Third brother can still recognize me, but you are separated from third brother..."
You Ning smiled brightly and said immediately: "Third brother, please wait a moment. My sister-in-law will go and make wontons for you right away."
It's not that she doesn't know how to get close, she just doesn't dare. She is just a widow at the bottom of society. To be honest, her status is a little higher than that of a slave.
Fortunately, Li Chengqian loved her and cared about her, which meant that she felt like she was being treated like a princess in front of Li Chengqian.
And she also saw that the King of Shu and her husband seemed to have something to talk about alone.
So when he left, he took everyone away and closed the back door to prevent the servants and maids from making noise.
Fu An closed the door with great discernment and went to the backyard.
The entire hall was silent, and both of them fell into silence.
After a long time.
Li Chengqian smiled and said: "Third brother, if you have nothing to do, please go to the Three Treasures Palace. Although my place is not a treasure palace, since you are here, just ask!"
"Looking at the fact that you gave me so much money, my brother knows everything and talks about it."
"Brother, you have changed!"
Li Chengqian patted the dust on his sleeves and said calmly: "Once people experience too much and suffer too much, they will change. But I am changing for the better and working hard to be an ordinary person." That’s it, nothing to fuss about.”
"You'd better express your doubts!" Li Chengqian raised his head and glanced at Li Ke.
Li Ke smiled faintly. His guess was good. His eldest brother's resignation from the position of prince was not because he wanted to quit. I'm afraid it had another deeper meaning.
perhaps……
"You know everything about the Su family, right?"
Li Chengqian looked at Li Ke suspiciously and asked, "What's going on with the Su family? I don't care about the court affairs now. I've been busy with the affairs of this wonton restaurant."
hehe……
Obviously, Li Chengqian's eyes were cold just now. If it were anyone else, he would have deceived him, but Li Ke knew countless people and had been staring into Li Chengqian's eyes just now.
"The Su family was ransacked. Su Dan paid and accepted bribes and committed the crime of deceiving the emperor."
Li Chengqian looked at Li Ke and asked, "What did you do?"
Li Ke did not lie and admitted: "Yes, I did it."
Li Chengqian was silent again, and after a long time he asked with a grateful look on his face: "Why do you want to help me vent my anger?"
Li Ke smiled unkindly and said, "Brother is overthinking this. Third brother is not helping you vent your anger this time, but helping me vent my anger."
