I opened a tavern in Datang/Datang: My peerless talent was exposed

After all, gift giving is also particular. It seems that they are particular about what can and cannot be given.

Hongyu is very good at these things, Xingben had already told her about His Majesty's various arrangements in the city this morning, and she knew it well.

As a woman who has already married into the Zhang Mansion, naturally she has to spend more time preparing gifts for His Majesty, Queen, and Prince. For her, this is not only an honor, but also an opportunity to get closer to the royal family.

Although my husband has a good relationship with His Majesty, who doesn't want to have a better relationship with the royal family?How many families want to give gifts to this family of three but haven't had a chance yet.

Moreover, what excites Hongyu the most, His Majesty brought the queen and prince out of the palace to receive her and her husband, what does this represent?This represents the goodness of the whole family!

It's exciting to think about being able to form a family relationship with the most noble people in the world!

And the excited Hongyu began to rummage through boxes and boxes to prepare gifts, which made Zhang Nuo twitch.

He didn't feel sorry for the exchanged items from the system, he felt sorry for those boxes. Damn, what kind of broken rules are these these days, why is there a requirement for boxes when giving gifts?

In his opinion, the red sandalwood and mahogany boxes used to wrap presents are more valuable than the gifts inside, but Hongyu is just the opposite. After picking a box at random, he carefully takes out various things from the cabinet and puts them in it.

If the box is not suitable, throw it to the side, and then direct Hongdou and Xiaomei to find another box for her from the side, depending on whether the pattern is suitable.

Zhang Nuo felt his heart ache after watching it for a while, so he didn't care, he just went outside and stayed. Today, he really understood why there was an allusion about buying a box and returning a pearl in ancient times. If it was him, he would do it too. !

Chapter 219

Zhang Nuo went into the city in a carriage. The cold wind in the twelfth lunar month is like a knife. It's better not to be stubborn with the weather. When spring comes, you can consider riding a horse for a stroll!

As usual, Xingben is the coachman, and he is not at all embarrassed. Just kidding, not to mention Zhang Nuo, it is an honor for him to be a coachman just because the Supreme Emperor is sitting in it.

There was no delay at all in the carriage, and it went straight to the new house Li Shimin bought in the city!

When Xingben said that he had arrived at the place, Zhang Nuo was still confused. He really couldn't bear the bumps and shakes of the carriage at this time. Fortunately, he didn't get motion sickness, otherwise he would have vomited all over.

Zhang Nuo got out of the car first, then helped old man Li get out of the car, and Hongyu was the last one, and then the three of them looked up at the rather majestic mansion in front of them with the plaque of Li's residence.

Xingben naturally stepped forward and knocked on the door, and when the door opened, Xingben was stunned.

Because he actually saw His Majesty bringing the queen and the prince out to greet him, Nima, has the world changed, and His Majesty's whole family came out to welcome him?

But when he turned his head and saw the Supreme Emperor, Xingben put his heart in his stomach, it made sense to welcome his father.

"Father, I still have to come back and have a look from time to time. Your yard has been cleaned up for you all the time!"

Li Shimin approached Li Yuan with a smile, said loudly, and blinked deliberately while others were not paying attention.

Li Yuan also couldn't laugh or cry, this monkey has become the emperor, and he is still teasing me, if you don't make arrangements for me, why don't you just bring people back to the palace when you come back?

However, Li Yuan was quite happy in his heart. The scars left between father and son due to the battle for the throne had been slowly healed up a lot recently. After all, the world still belonged to his old Li family.

Although the Tian Family had no family ties, when they were competing for the position of Ninth Five-Year Supreme, everyone wanted to sit on it, so naturally they would use any means.

But putting aside those conflicts of interests, after the situation is settled, it can only slowly mend the wounds and lick the wounds.

Li Yuan also knew that Li Shimin was actually expressing intimacy tactfully, so he naturally had to follow up, so he was not polite, but rolled his eyes and said,

"Why are you coming back? You are so busy, I might as well play mahjong in a village outside the city!"

Empress Changsun also dragged Li Chengqian over to greet her,

"Father-in-law's mahjong proficiency is probably beyond the reach of my daughter-in-law. Why don't you call Hongyu and younger sister Yang together later, and let's play mahjong. My daughter-in-law hasn't enjoyed it for a long time!"

Li Yuan smiled and nodded. Li Yuan was very proud of his mahjong skills. In Zhuangzi, no one cared that he was the Supreme Emperor. At that time, he should be pitted. The confrontation was extremely fierce, but Li Yuan's mahjong level improved by leaps and bounds.

"Let these two people talk about their affairs, and Gan'er go and listen too. Let's play mahjong together, and the whole family will be lively!"

Li Yuan is the oldest and most senior person on the scene, and other people can hear it naturally. This is to create conditions for Li Shimin and Zhang Nuo to talk. It is not only a way to avoid suspicion, but also to express intimacy. Meaning, those who don’t have enough brains really can’t appreciate the subtlety inside.

But Li Shimin can understand it undoubtedly, he is also smiling very heartily at this moment, he directly pulls Zhang Nuo's shoulder and walks in,

"Let's go, it's the first time I come to Weixiong's house, I will show you around first, let's talk later!"

Seeing Li Shimin dragging Zhang Nuo away in this way, everyone present looked at each other and didn't know how to continue, and they couldn't laugh or cry.

Your Majesty is messing around. Didn't you mean to be like an ordinary person? Then you haven't met your sister-in-law, and your nephew hasn't seen your uncle yet, so you're just being dragged away?

However, Li Shimin was first the queen of Qin and then the emperor, so he really didn't know the etiquette of this ordinary family. Fortunately, Zhang Nuo didn't understand it very well. Instead, he followed Li Shimin in for a stroll with a smile on his face.

The few remaining people laughed almost at the same time, and went straight in, still playing mahjong comfortably!

But Li Yuan's words completely made everyone laugh!

"Today in the whole house, everyone except Zhang Nuo knows our identities. You said that one day we will have a showdown. Will this kid die of shame?"

Empress Changsun laughed so hard when she heard it, because she just thought about this scene in her mind and found it very interesting.

It's not just that her whole family is acting together, but more importantly, after a showdown in the future, when the little shopkeeper knows that she has been deceived by her family, he really doesn't know what expression he will have. Think about it. interesting.

Everyone naturally went to play mahjong in the room that had been arranged in the backyard, while Li Shimin took Zhang Nuo to wander around in the yard.

In fact, it is really nothing to see. One is that Li Shimin himself has just walked through the yard. He is not familiar with it, but he probably knows who lives in that house.

After all, he himself only moved in last night, and he didn't see clearly at night, not to mention talking with Li Xiaogong for so long, and today he went to court just after the sun was shining, and he came back from court before After that, I wandered around casually.

As for Zhang Nuo, the more he looked at it, the more boring he felt. Isn’t this Nima just a bigger yard? Sit in the room and chat and fart.

As soon as he complained, Li Shimin also felt that the cold wind blowing around in this cold weather didn't seem to be a very comfortable thing, so he just said that the future will be long, and he dragged Zhang Nuo to the middle hall.

This place is not comparable to Zhang Nuo's own house. There are all kinds of heating and air conditioning. You can only use a charcoal basin to make a big fire and burn it in the middle. Copper stove.

After the two sat down in order of priority, the maid at the side hurried up to prepare refreshments. Zhang Nuo looked at the things in front of him and chuckled.

"Old Li, you stinky shameless person, you took it from my house, you have the nerve to get it out to entertain me? Can't you get something else?"

This palace lady was originally serving Li Shimin in the Palace of Ganlu, and she had seen big storms, but after hearing what Zhang Nuo said just now, her hands trembled and she almost spilled her things.

Li Shimin glanced at the maid, and said to Zhang Nuo angrily,

"Why don't you be ashamed, the things you brought back belonged to someone's family, and some entertainment is good, what more do you want? I'm not afraid to tell you, even the lunch at noon is delivered by our big restaurant! "

Zhang Nuo laughed, and silently gave Lao Li a thumbs up, you're awesome!

Chapter 220 Lao Li's Talent Pool

Zhang Nuo looked at the dried fruit and roasted seeds and nuts in front of him, picked up some and put it in his hand, then said slowly,

"Lao Li, you keep saying that you are the emperor's relative. There must be a lot of people in charge in the pocket. Get me some people. You know, I'm so short of people here!"

Li Shimin looked at Zhang Nuo in surprise, and then said seriously,

"Are you short of a manager? Find someone important, and you're not afraid that someone will learn your secret recipe and take away your property in the future?"

Zhang Nuo spat out a few pieces of melon seeds, and said angrily,

"It's not my property alone. You and I are both involved in it. What's the matter with asking you to take care of things? As for seizing the property, as long as you have no brains, you will know that it is easier to earn money with me! "

"Let me ask you, is it more than half of a penny, or more than [-]% of usual money?"

Speaking of this, Zhang Nuo pointed at himself and said very bluntly,

"I'm sorry, but I'm the expert who can turn a penny business into a consistent money. If it weren't for the good relationship between us and your contribution, do you think I can pull you over?"

Zhang Nuo's words were not polite at all, and the maids serving beside her were dumbfounded at the moment, but Li Shimin laughed instead!

He just likes this kind of feeling, it doesn't come to nothing, it goes straight and clear, without any twists and turns!

What Zhang Nuo said was very clear, it was because of his friendship and various contacts that he was pulled into the car, not his status as emperor, let alone his power, which made Li Shimin very happy.

"Haha, brother, you are too arrogant. No one claims to be an expert. However, you are really right. It is really comfortable to make money lying down, haha!"

Zhang Nuo naturally knows that Lao Li is comfortable now, it's like investing in a unicorn company, Zhang Nuo is working hard, while Li Shimin only needs to wait for the money, he is very comfortable.

So Zhang Nuo said angrily,

"So, if you know that you have taken advantage, quickly get me someone. The steward, the officer, and the craftsman and slave labor you promised me before, get me quickly. I'm about to start working on a lot of things. There is a huge shortage of people!"

Don't look at Li Shimin laughing and laughing in front of Zhang Nuo, but in fact, Li Shimin knows exactly what is going on in Zhang Nuo's village.Therefore, he understood that Zhang Nuo was really short of people.

Now that everyone is talking about things seriously, then naturally we can't laugh and laugh, Li Shimin pondered for a while and said,

"Gushi, I can provide some more, but first, tell Brother Wei, do you mind if the manager is an eunuch?"

Zhang Nuo glanced at Lao Li and said angrily,

"Of course I don't mind. You are a member of the royal family. Those servants are all dependent on the royal family. Most of them are orphans. They have no ties to their relatives. As long as they have the ability, they are the best candidates. It's just that you can get servants? Don't get a lot of old men Bar?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin wished he could spit at him. Why can't I get a few young servants instead of the old man?

If it weren't for the inconvenience of revealing his identity at this moment, Li Shimin really wanted to kill the boy opposite him with a sip of tea.

Therefore, Li Shimin also learned to speak in a strange way,

"I don't need you to worry about this, shopkeeper Zhang. Since I agreed, I can do it!"

Zhang Nuoke is not used to Lao Li at all. He understands this Lao Li. He is not very capable and has a lot of trouble. If he doesn't whip and urge him behind him with a whip, he might forget what he promised one day. up.

Therefore, Zhang Nuo said bluntly,

"Come on, the craftsmen and slave labor you promised before have not been delivered, and when will the salt mine documents be delivered, there are too many things you promised to fail to do!"

Li Shimin was made a little anxious by Zhang Nuo's robbing, but he didn't know how to refute. In the end, he could only comfort himself with disdain. Of course, I can't compare with this lazy bastard. Forget about little things What matters.

However, I can't continue talking about this anymore, it's better to change the topic quickly,

"By the way, it's about the officer. I'm going to find some from the general in my cousin's house, and send them to you when the time comes!"

Zhang Nuo was taken aback, Lao Li is so easy to talk today?Not bad, finally got the hang of it, know not to offend the chairman?

"Your cousin? Who?"

Li Shimin smiled slightly and said proudly,

"Hejian County King, Li Xiaogong, the general who has led the army for many years, do you think his family will be able to do it?"

Zhang Nuo happily patted the table,

"Okay, that's okay! These people must have been on the battlefield with the prince. The middle-level officers are the most suitable. When the time comes, we will cooperate with Captain Cheng and wait for the three generals, and our team will be established. !"

Li Shimin also nodded with a smile. This is what he thought. Isn't the shopkeeper Xiao Zhang just short of people, and he also lacks officers?

That's just right, all the imperial guard officers under Xingben's hands over the years are all warriors on the battlefield, it's a pity to put them in the palace as gatekeepers, and they just happened to be sent to Zhuangzi.

Moreover, these people have worked in the palace before, so they know how to obey the rules and how to shut up, so they don't have to worry about showing their feet.

Zhang Nuo didn't expect that the manpower problem he had been pondering for a long time would be solved in a few words when he came to Lao Li. He really had to admire the monopoly of these aristocratic families on talents.

He worked hard for a long time to find a few worthy ones to cultivate, and now he has to teach them slowly.

But he and Lao Li had only just talked, and there were officers and stewards, and they could still settle it with one word. This shows that they are all Lao Li's people, at least they are also members of the family!

Thinking of this, Zhang Nuo looked at Lao Li and sighed slowly,

"You guys are still amazing. I don't know how many talents are hidden in the pocket. They can be released when needed. No wonder you can pass them down!"

Li Shimin knew what Zhang Nuo was talking about, but it hit on the aristocratic family he talked about when chatting with Du Ruhui a few days ago. He sighed and shook his head, and said seriously,

"This is nothing, it's just a few managers and low-level military officers, and this is not considered a big family. Those real families with a thousand years of history are the most terrifying. Why are there so many children from the family in the court? Isn't it because there is no way to leave them? "

Zhang Nuo gave Lao Li a disdainful look,

"It's nonsense, what do you mean the children of the Li family can't do anything? Isn't it all because your royal family relaxes slowly and gives them the opportunity to grow up slowly?"

"Everyone can turn around without leaving the court. It's just that the efficiency is not so high. There is nothing to worry about!"

Li Shimin was taken aback when he heard this, and then approached Zhang Nuo with a smile on his lips and said,

"Then hurry up and tell Brother Wei, in this court, how can the children of the aristocratic family still be transferred?"

Chapter 221 Zhang Nuo's Trick

Zhang Nuo looked at Lao Li with a flattering smile on his face, especially that big face, which was extremely crooked, and said angrily,

"I said, Lao Li, you have to understand that you are just a royal family member and businessman with royal blood, and you are not the current emperor. I said why do you worry about this every day?"

"Look at me, I haven't entered the court yet, so I don't think about it, because it's useless to think about it. Wouldn't it be more troublesome if I can't do it?"

Li Shimin didn't care about Zhang Nuo's dislike at all. Anyway, he didn't get disliked once or twice. Instead, he followed Zhang Nuo's words and continued,

"Brother, since you know that XX is a relative of the emperor, then you should have imagined that XX definitely hopes that Li Tang will last forever, so that you can continue to live a good life as a brother?"

"Besides, who said it's useless for you to tell brother Wei? Didn't you say that Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, is a certain cousin? When the time comes, some good ideas can be passed on to your majesty if you tell brother Xiaogong It’s in your ears, you can be regarded as God’s listening!”

Zhang Nuo looked at Lao Li in front of him suspiciously. He always felt that Lao Li's words sounded weird. It wasn't that there was something wrong with the content, but the tone of his speech, why was it always a bit hidden?

But Zhang Nuo didn't bother to argue so much with Lao Li. When he didn't know the status of his royal family before, he loved to inquire about these things, so he just pretended to be bragging and spanking among friends.
