Chapter 693 Li Ke, you are so extravagant
Wang Ping'an said: "Do you have to wait for His Royal Highness to come back before writing the memorial? Why don't we make a draft first? It's better to wait for His Royal Highness to come back and copy it up, so that we can save some time!"
Li Ke looked at Wang Ping'an and saw his sincere face. He glanced at the merchants again. Seeing that they were all incompetent and could not see any urgency, he understood that there must be a fraud! Wang Ping'an insisted that I write a memorial in advance. Do you want to clear the relationship for Li Zhi? Even if I make a draft and wait for Li Zhi to come back to copy it, then Li Zhi will just say something and will follow you... Then if there is any mistake in the end, I will have to take care of it!
You must not be fooled! Li Ke waved his hand and said, "No, no matter how anxious you are, you don't have to hurry. How much time can you take to draft a memorial? When His Highness comes back, it's time to write it. At that time, you have to follow His Highness what His Highness means. We are just doing some auxiliary matters, and all are subject to His Highness and His Highness!"
After saying that, Li Ke laughed loudly, looked at Wang Ping'an with his eyes squinted, and thought to himself: "I will never be fooled by you again. You are giving me credit for free. You must be unhappy. I will use my plan and only take advantage of it, but not paying the capital. It depends on what other demon eunuch you can make!"
Wang Ping'an nodded and said, "It's all according to the Crown Prince's wishes? That's all according to the Crown Prince's wishes!" He looked outside and said, "It's almost noon. Why not be the host of me and invite you all to have a meal? Can everyone take time?"
The merchant smiled and said, "Your Majesty is so polite. If you treat a meal, we have to let go even if we have something big. How can we not have time?"
Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "I don't have anything delicious here, I'm just a little simple meal!"
"We like to eat simple and simple food, especially the simple food of the princes and princesses. They usually want to eat it but they can't eat it!" The merchants laughed in unison.
Wang Ping'an looked at Li Ke and said, "Prince, if you are convenient, why not go together?"
Li Ke said yelling and thought to himself: "You invited someone to dinner, but you didn't ask me first, but you went to ask these merchants first, what are you doing, and give me a look? Ah, I understand, because I don't want to fall into your trap, you are angry! Very well, the more angry you are, the happier I am, and I piss you to death!"
He usually doesn't have such a big temper. Although he is not very sensible, he is not so small. However, he has suffered a lot during this period. Now he has even been on the crutch and has become impetuous in dealing with things. He is like an ignorant child, trying to get angry with Wang Ping'an!
Li Ke said: "Okay, then you can bring your simple rice and let me taste it too!"
Wang Ping'an shouted: "Okay, the prince and all the old and young men appreciate their faces. How can I not treat you with all my heart! Come on, go to the kitchen to prepare and bring all the simple food!"
The servants in the governor's mansion agreed in unison and began to get busy.
The merchants laughed, saying that the princes are the best at joking. You are a famous rich man in the world. Even if you have a simple rice, you will still be luxurious. Good wine and meat are certain! Li Ke curled his lips. This Wang Ping'an is very likely to really bring me a simple rice to ruin me and retaliate against me. But I am not angry. Even if he brings brown rice, I will still eat with relish. Anyway, I will definitely not win his conspiracy and make him anxious. There is nothing I can do!
After Li Ke made up his mind, he started joking with the merchants, talked about interesting news from all over the country, and waited for the dinner to start. Not long after, the banquet was held!
As soon as the wine and food were served, the merchant laughed, pointed to the hearty wine and food, and said with a smile: "Prince, let's just say you're kidding. This table is called plain rice, what's the way to plain rice?"
Li Ke shook his head and thought to himself: "I guessed wrong again. Wang Ping'an actually put on big fish and meat. Seeing that the dishes were exactly the same as those in Chang'an, could he bring all the chefs from Chang'an? He is not afraid that others would say that he was too extravagant and wasteful!"
Wang Ping'an doesn't care what others say, why don't you spend money? Who will keep it for? When the wine and food are ready, he stood up and personally filled a glass of wine for Li Ke, and smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this wine is for you to honor you by the next official. Thank you for coming up with an idea to make us all rich. You must drink it. If you don't drink it, you will look down on us all!"
Li Ke thought to himself: "I have a leg injury, and the symptoms of diarrhea have not been completely cured. This wine..."
Who cares about whether the businessmen are feeling well or not? Anyone who toasts must make a fuss! Everyone stands up together, holds a glass of wine, and toasts Li Ke. The move is really: If you don’t drink, you will look down on us!
If it were normal, Li Ke glared at you and looked down on you, what could you do? Which onion do you think? But today, this matter has not been completed yet. It is not too late to glar at the end after it is finished. Now you can’t glar at it!
Li Ke smiled and said, "Okay, since everyone is so enthusiastic, I am disrespectful, so I will drink this glass!" After that, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one go.
The merchants shouted, "Your Majesty is so good!" They also drank a glass with Li Ke.
Wang Ping'an filled him with another cup and said, "Prince, good things are in pairs. You have to drink another cup. You can't drink odd numbers. That's unlucky!"
The merchants followed suit and said, "Good things come in pairs. Prince, please drink two drinks, let's drink four drinks with you!" After that, the merchants actually fucked three more cups in a row!
There is no way, if you don’t drink it, it would be unlucky, so Li Ke had to drink the second cup!
Wang Ping'an filled him with the wine again and said, "Your Majesty, there must be my master when you walk through three people. As the saying goes, after three rounds of wine and five flavors, these are all figured out. This third glass of wine. You have to drink, otherwise... There is no saying that wealth is not only for three generations? If you don't drink this glass of wine, wouldn't it mean that we all are busy in vain and we can't even pass on the money we earn? So you have to drink this wine!"
The merchants all said, "Yes, don't be rich for three generations, it takes thousands of generations to achieve success!"
Li Ke thought to himself: "Is there such a saying? Why is Wang Ping'an so much nonsense?" There is no way, it is difficult to refuse to drink. Not drinking is equivalent to cursing someone else's grandson to make a fortune. He has to drink even if he doesn't drink. He had to drink the third glass of wine!
Wang Ping'an poured him another glass of wine and said, "Good things are in pairs, four cups are double in pairs... It's unlucky to have odd numbers!"
The merchant shouted again: "Two in two, prince, you have to drink it, otherwise the first three cups will be useless!"
Li Ke thought to himself: "What's wrong, why can't I stop drinking this wine? I have to drink it!" He had to drink the fourth glass of wine!
After drinking this glass of wine, Li Ke finally took a scruple and looked at Wang Ping'an and found that Wang Ping'an poured him another glass of wine, but the glass in front of Wang Ping'an had never moved! To put it bluntly, it was Wang Ping'an who drank four glasses of wine, but Wang Ping'an didn't drink a drop!
As the prince, Li Ke has never had such a toast even when he was attending a banquet or holding a banquet by himself. Who dares to give him a toast? Even if he toast, he would not say that these good things are in pairs. He just needs to drink according to etiquette! He has never encountered such a person who persuaded him to drink, but he was inevitably caught in the first time he encountered it!
Li Ke pointed to the wine glass in front of Wang Ping'an and said unhappily: "No disease, you let me drink it all, why don't you drink it yourself?"
Wang Ping'an whispered, pretending that he had just found out that he had not drunk. He said, "Xiao Guan Guang was thinking about serving the prince, but he actually forgot about himself!"
The merchants laughed. It seemed that the King of Wu had never been on the wine table. He had just started to fuck you. After a while, you will be ready to crawl under the table!
Wang Ping'an said: "Come on a big bowl, I'll drink with the prince. The prince is casual, I use the big bowl!" He said so boldly, as if Li Ke was so stingy, and he refused to drink a few more glasses of wine!
At this time, someone came in outside, sweating profusely. He seemed to be coming. He looked around at the door and turned around and left. Wang Ping'an saw that man, one of the Ouyang brothers, who protected Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang. It was probably Li Zhi and the others who came back.
The servant brought a big bowl and a jar of wine. Wang Ping'an said: "Water, wine, water, wine, forever, the emperor will come to this jar, and the prince will still use a pot!"
The merchants laughed again, "Water wine, Wang Ping'an must be drinking water, and the King of Wu drinks wine. Isn't the King of Wu not unaware of this trick of filling people, right?"
Li Ke thought to himself: "Wang Ping'an is too cunning. Since he wants to get me drunk, he can't get drunk first. The wine in his jar must be as light as water, maybe it's water!"
Li Ke said, "What kind of wine is in your jar? Let me smell it!" As he said that, he snatched the jar of wine from Wang Ping'an, opened the plug, and lowered his head to smell it!
It happened that someone came in outside the courtyard at this time. It was none other than the prince Li Zhi!
Li Zhi had just sent someone back to find out the situation in the governor's mansion. He first asked someone to send Wu Meiniang back, and he stepped into the yard. As soon as he entered the yard, Li Zhi shouted: "What are you doing? This is the dignified Gyeongju Governor's mansion. Why did you hold a banquet? He still shouted loudly? How could it be?"
There are many merchants, and there are not many tables in the main hall, so there are many people sitting in the yard, giving people a feeling that it is like a wedding banquet here, and relatives and friends are having fun eating, drinking and having fun!
The merchants turned their heads to look at Li Zhi, and saw that it was the prince, so they quickly got up and left their seats and knelt down. Li Ke was stunned. Didn’t Li Zhi come back tomorrow? Why is he back now? He was holding a jar of wine in his hand and had not had time to put it down!
Li Zhi strode over and saw Li Ke holding a jar of wine, and shouted loudly: "Three brother, why are you here? They are so rich in wine and meat here. Not only do you care about it, but you are also making fun with them. Oh, someone else used a wine glass, and you actually held up the jar of wine. Why are you like this?"
Li Ke opened his mouth wide, shocked and angry, and he was fooled again? Why am I doing this? How am I doing? This jar of wine is not mine, it is Wang Ping'an's!
Li Zhi entered the main hall and saw that Li Ke was still stunned. He said angrily: "Third brother, Gu heard that you were injured when he was assassinated, so he rushed back from the construction site just to see you, afraid that your injuries would be serious! But Gu worked so hard and rushed, but you sat here to drink, holding a jar, drinking, and drinking, completely disregarding the hardships of the people of Qingzhou! Do you think you are worthy of the court, do you deserve your father? Do you deserve your father? Do you deserve your son? Do you deserve your son? Do you deserve your son? Do you deserve your son? Do you deserve your son? Do you deserve your son? Do you deserve your son? Do you deserve your son? Do you deserve your son? Do you deserve your son? Do you want to tell your son about your brothers? Do you want to tell your father! Third brother, you are too much!"
Li Ke almost pissed off his chin! What do you mean by excessive? How could I be excessive? You were obviously traveling around, but you couldn't come back in time. You didn't care about your brotherly siblings and didn't go to see me. As a result, you are right now, why are you working hard? You are so hard! Me, I... I really want to hit this jar on your head!
Li Ke was so angry that he was smoked, but he had no choice but to be caught on the spot. What else can he defend himself? Even if he defended him, he would be said to be a slander and a trick!
He had to put down the jar of wine and said, "Criminal, you misunderstood. Third brother, I am not as rich as wine and meat. This is the case..." He stood up and wanted to salute Li Zhi. He quickly clarified that Li Zhi should not write a memorial and give the information to the father. The impression he had in his father's heart would be bad to the end!
Li Ke stood up as soon as he screamed, holding his thigh with his hand, and said, "The arrow on my leg is injured..."
Li Zhi said again: "Since you have an arrow wound on your leg, you are still in the wine pond and meat forest. It shows how unscrupulous you are usually. As a prince, you were sent by the court to Qingzhou to guide your work. You are really sorry for your father's trust in you! Fortunately, your father sent an orphan to supervise you, otherwise you wouldn't know how big a mistake you made!"
Wang Ping'an sounded funny. This was really unreasonable. I guess Li Zhi couldn't say such aggressive words. It should have been taught by Wu Meiniang.
He looked at Li Ke, sighed, and whispered: "Prince, I advised you just now to write a memorial, at least to make a draft! You said we should think about memorials at this time and do the important things. When the Prince comes back, he will do our best to do our best to do our best, which is better than seeing you holding a wine jar..."
This is not nonsense. He really persuaded him just now. Li Ke refused. Who can I blame him? I can only blame Li Ke himself!
Li Ke was so angry that his nose was almost pissed. He had made great calculations and thought he would never be fooled by Wang Ping'an, but he was still fooled!
Li Zhi waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's talk about this later. Third brother, you are not in Maling County to guide your work, why are you going to the state city to do?"
Wang Ping'an brought a chair for Li Zhi, asked His Royal Highness to sit down, and then scolded his third brother!
Li Ke also sat down on the chair and looked at the merchants inside and outside the hall! It doesn’t matter if you don’t look at it, but he was so angry that he was so angry that he was trying to make fun of him when he was urging him to drink just now, but now he lowered his head and no one said anything... He just played with me alone!
Li Ke swallowed his anger, calmed his emotions and said, "Crown Prince, I have come up with an idea about starting a business. This business can benefit all parties in the Tang Dynasty, benefit the country and the people, and greatly increase the income of the court!"
Li Zhi said with a oh, "Let's listen."
Li Ke didn't talk about the matter, he said the name first so that he could seize the credit. As for the specific situation, let Wang Ping'an talk about it. Anyway, he decided this time that silence is gold, so he won't talk about it if there is too much! He said: "I have already thought about the name of this transaction, so I will call it the Datang Investment Office. As for the specific details, Wang Ping'an also has some credit. He thought it out with me, let him explain it to the prince!"
Chapter completed!
