Chapter 19 The Old Guys Waiting To Watch The Joke

With a lot of bad taste, Li Daozong met Li Er. As a royal family member, he still had this advantage.

However, Li Er was busy discussing matters with Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui and others at this time, and did not show too much enthusiasm for Li Daozong's arrival.

However, Changsun Wuji warmly greeted him, took the two jars of wine from him, and asked curiously: "Daozong, I have never seen you take things into the palace before, what is this?"

Li Daozong said: "Wine, good wine, I found it at Li Jing's house yesterday. I specially brought two jars to share with you."

Everyone present knew that sharing is just politeness, and Li Daozong does not have the ability to predict the future, so how can he know that they are here?

However, no matter Changsun Wuji or Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling was a human being. No one said anything more. Instead, they laughed and joked with him a few words, then looked at Li Er and waited for the boss to speak first.

Li Er looked at the two small jars of wine in front of him, and was also confused.

It was his son who offered Li Jing's wine. When did it come to Li Daozong? I wonder if there are people in the middle?

Thinking of it, Li Er asked, "Daozong, your wine is probably not that delicious, right?"

"Your Majesty's clarification." Li Daozong smiled: "It's actually because this wine was sent to my house by Li Dejian, and I specially asked me to send it to you. For this reason, the boy also promised me a profit of 50,000 yuan per year, provided that the wine must become a tribute wine."

In an instant, the faces of the people in the room became strange.

All the thousands of years old foxes are sitting there. How could they not know where the 50,000 chunks of profit come from? This is clearly just to do business under the banner of the royal family.

After a while, Li Er sighed helplessly: "Oh, what do you think of these young people in their heads? Why can't they think of anything else except getting rich?"

Changsun Wuji smiled and took over the conversation: "Your Majesty, talking about it, that boy Li Dejian is already pretty good, at least he is still thinking about how to make money."

Fang Xuanling also nodded and said, "Although the idea is a bit unrealistic, the starting point is always good."

Li Er disagreed. What's the use of starting point being good? Is there still a lack of people in this world who are good at doing bad things?

Fortunately, I said a few days ago that Li Dejian was smart enough, but now it seems that they are all clever.

He could think of it because he was selling wine under the banner of the royal family. Didn’t he know that in addition to civil officials and military generals in the court, there was a kind of creature called the censor? If he really dared to do this, he would be sprayed with nothing in less than three days, and it would be difficult for his father to protect him.

While thinking, I grabbed the wine jar on the table and opened the lid on it with my own hands.

The rich aroma of wine instantly filled the room, and everyone, including Lin Xi, the old eunuch behind Li Er, lit up their eyes when everyone smelled it.

Li Er said in surprise: "Hey, the taste of this wine is really good. No wonder that kid is full of confidence and asked you to recommend it."

Li Daozong smiled embarrassedly: "The wine is really good, full of energy. Yesterday afternoon, I got drunk after drinking half a jar. In the end, the boy sent someone to send me back to my house and lost my lord."

"Oh?" Du Ruhui also became interested at this time: "This wine is so fierce? Only half a jar can bring down the amazingly alcoholic King Rencheng..., Your Majesty?!"

How could Li Er not know what Du Ruhui meant? He immediately said to the eunuch Lin Xi: "It's noon to go and pass the meal. I just happened to try out how this wine is."

The wine is naturally good wine, with clear colors and full of energy. Everyone who had never drunk high-altitude wine was so excited that they were carried back home in the afternoon.

Subsequently, an order was issued in the palace to specially pardon the wine brewed by Li Dejian, the commander of the Left Leader's Guard Lingfu, as the imperial wine in the palace, and tributed 2,000 jars a year, totaling 10,000 jin.

For a moment, Chang'an was in an uproar.

Li Dejian, a playboy who is well-known to Chang'an City, has reached the top in one step because he has saved the emperor.

Most people are often the same, not worried about lack of worries but unevenness.

So what if you are Li Dejian, you are rescued? It would be fine if you are replaced by me. Besides, isn’t the duty of a minister? Why does His Majesty the Emperor still have to compensate you after rewarding you?

Li Hao didn't care about this. Anyway, he couldn't shed a hair after a few words of cursing, so it was true that he was able to get benefits.

The money for the two thousand jars of wine in the palace has been delivered, not much or less, just ten thousand yuan, and it is full of almost half a courtyard.

Cheng Chumo and Li Zhen are their best friends, so they are naturally happy about this. The two guys are now circling around boxes full of copper coins, and their salivating looks very funny.

Although Cheng Yinyin is one year younger than Cheng Chumo, under the guidance of Cheng's mother Cui, she already has a great demeanor. Looking at her elder brother's appearance of being invisible, she shook her head boredly and said to Li Hao who was roasting chicken wings: "Is this your purpose? Get rich?"

Li Hao turned over the chicken wings in his hand and looked up at Cheng Yinyin, who was proud of the swan: "Getting rich is not the purpose, what I like is the process in the middle."

Cheng Yinyin said: "It's not the same result."

"Of course it's different." Li Hao pointed to the chicken wings in his hand: "Take food for example. Some people are hungry to fill their stomachs until they end up suffocating themselves; while others are trying to enjoy the deliciousness of the moment the food enters the mouth. They know what is delicious and what is not delicious, and what is enough to stop."

Cheng Yinyin glanced at Li Hao and said lightly: "Is that so? Then you are almost overwhelmed to death now."

How can this little girl speak? She can die without a sarcastic tongue, right?

Li Hao rolled his eyes in anger.

Seeing that he was silent, Cheng Yinyin continued, "Do you know how everyone in Chang'an City commented on you now? You are ungrateful and arrogant because of your favor. You are more serious and bewitching your father and blinding your saints. Li Dejian, do you think it's worth it for this mere ten thousand yuan?"

Li Hao laughed and said, "Miss Yinyin, do you care about me?"

Cheng Yinyin said disdainfully: "Li Dejian, don't be self-indulgent. If it weren't for my brother being friends with you, I wouldn't have kindly reminded you."

Cheng Yinyin has no good impression of Li Hao. In her opinion, this person is just an ignorant playboy in her bones, otherwise she would not have been mingled with her incompetent brother all day long.

As for why he looked down on Li Dejian so much, he wanted to come to his house because Lao Chengniu forced himself to press his head without drinking water.

Li Hao shrugged indifferently, lowered his head and grilled the chicken wings in his hand seriously.

Just a self-righteous little girl, because Cheng Chumo is still stupid, she doesn't care about her anymore.

"Dejian, what are you talking about?" Cheng Chumo, not far away, always paid attention to the situation on Li Hao's side. He found that the atmosphere was a little wrong, so he ran over immediately.

Li Hao replied casually: "Eat!"

Cheng Chumo: "...".
