Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 540;
Mrs. Cheng also nodded;

"It's strange to say that the chefs in our dozen or so general's mansions all learned their skills from Yu'er's chef, but they just can't cook that kind of food, but it's hard to imagine."

"The two aunts are not children who look down on your cooks. My children would rather be hungry than eat what they cook. It's too disgusting to eat what they cook."

Li Yu spoke boldly and said very seriously, with an innocent look, which made the more than a dozen maids serving in the study room burst out laughing.

Mrs. Qin used one finger to shake Li Yu's big head back and forth;

"See if I can give you!"

The three mother and son were talking and laughing happily, a maid came in at the door to salute and report;

"Reporting to Lord Hou, your guard has returned and said he brought some bows and arrows with him from Niujia Village. Please go over there. Don't dare to ask Lord Hou how to send them away?"

"Don't send it away, don't send it away! Master Hou, I'm waiting for the two of them to come back!"

Li Yu screamed and ran, shouting while running;

"The two ladies can eat by themselves, my son will go!"

Madam Qin smiled and said to Madam Cheng;

"This little dog doesn't look serious, you say, it's almost sixteen, and after next year's elder brother's filial piety, he will be able to become an official. What can we do if we continue to make such a fuss?"

Cheng Yaojin's regular wife has an expression of worrying about you;

"Hey! I said sister, you don't have to worry, this monkey head can catch it! It's better than anyone else!"

Mrs. Qin also nodded;

"Isn't it? Last year, the dozens of high-ranking ministers who used the white wine business to trick him gritted their teeth and offered him money and silk. They came again this year. Isn't it a change of soup?
This has cleaned up the world's high-ranking households almost again. I heard my general came back and said that the money he got out was really a lot. Even the Supreme was so happy that he couldn't close his eyes for three days and couldn't sleep! "

"Don't say my sister doesn't understand, I'm also very puzzled. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have been fighting to the death for a horse. In the end, this monkey head solved the problem with a piece of iron. The name it gave is really decent. What horse boots?

I don't know how the melon seeds grow in his little head. It's just a weird thing. The court is short of money. It was lost, and he was frowning, and forced him to find a way. Really, this is still a child! "

Mrs. Qin frowned when she heard this;

"Isn't it? When the civil and military courts asked for money, they all rushed to reach out, for fear that the amount given would not be enough, but when it came to how to get money, there was no one in the court. Let it go, I was so scared that I didn't dare to say a word, I was afraid that the job of making money would go to my head, and I would use these things that adults can't do anything to force a child who has just tied his hair. What is this called? Son, this is it?"

"Sister, don't worry. Fortunately, this monkey head is smart and capable, and it really solved it. Now it's all right. I heard my general came back and said that he got tens of millions. It's really scary. The previous treasury's 30-year income It’s not as good as he made the monkey head this time, it’s enough for the Supreme to spend more than ten years this time, and he probably won’t force this child again, right?”

Qin Qiong's wife sneered when she heard this;

"Sister, don't be in a hurry to say this. Who hasn't seen His Majesty's methods of spending money? Could it be that the millions of silver coins last year were still short? Didn't the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty say that it would be enough for ten years? The result? Three or four It will be gone in a month, it will be gone if it is gone, and there will be a famine. I heard that the harem has not issued a monthly report for several months!
So, sister, you said that this time is enough for more than ten years, but I can't believe it, just wait!I reckon it can be spent in a year! "

Cheng Yaojin's wife exclaimed;

"Isn't it, sister? This time it's tens of millions? It will take four or five years, right?"

Mrs. Qin said very nonchalantly;

"Four or five years? Probably not! A few days ago, two servants came over to have a drink and brought their family members with them. I was also in front of me. I heard the house servant teasing Du Pushe that His Majesty gave you more than 2000 million this time. The military expenditure is enough for you to be happy, the last few generals and the two servants all laughed and looked very happy..."

"What? Oh my god! I heard that last time Du Pu shot in the study of the Eastern Palace, he knelt down to the Supreme for some money to change his armor.
What happened this time?How generous has become like this? 2000?Why don't you replace all the guys with new ones? "

Mrs. Qin concluded with staring eyes;
"What do you think? Otherwise, a group of generals and two servants could happily drink for most of the night? Didn't you not come that time? If you came, you would be able to see it clearly. This is the first time I have seen it." When Du Pushe smiles like that, he is so happy that he doesn't know the north, south, east, and west!"

The wives of the two generals talked about their daily routines for a while, and the servants reported whether they wanted to eat during the day, and Mrs. Qin stood up;

"Sister, why don't we also go to the yard to see what the puppy is panicking about?"

"Okay, let's go and I'll accompany my sister over there, so I can eat his blind meat. I guess it should be cooked."

The two walked out of the study yard with a smile, all the way to Li Yu's side, the servants hurriedly saluted, and Mrs. Liu squatted in a standard blessing;
"My servant pays homage to the two wives, and the two wives are blessed and safe."

Mrs. Qin saw that it was an old acquaintance, and immediately smiled and came over to help;
"You, you, you are still so particular, treat us as strangers?"

Cheng Yaojin's wife also smiled and slapped Mrs. Liu on the shoulder;
"How many years have passed, and you still follow the rules, saying that you are always bad!"

Mrs. Liu smiled after paying her respects;
"You two are big men, how dare I lose my etiquette!"

Mrs. Cheng looked at the well-behaved servants in the yard and the eight maids behind Mrs. Liu, and said in surprise;
"What's the matter? I think the lady's situation seems to be back to power?"

Miss Liu smiled from ear to ear;
"Mrs. Returning, it's only been a few days since I got back the power."

Qin Qiong's regular wife also laughed and joked;

"Congratulations lady, this time you have to treat me!"

"Naturally, please invite the two ladies. Xiong Xiazi's meat has been stuffy for a long time, and the overcooked ones are all stewed by my husband's new method. It's fresh. The two ladies are having a good time today." Taste it."

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, let's go and see what your husband is up to, and it won't be too late to come back and eat meat."

"Oh! So that's it. Please, the two ladies, they both went to the backyard at the end. They said they wanted to see the bow and arrows made by the Orion surnamed Niu, over here!"

The three of them came down with a lot of maids, and they came to the courtyard at the end after a while. A huge group of people gathered together. When they saw the people coming, they immediately dispersed and saluted on both sides. The one in the middle Li Yu held a longbow that was about the same height as himself, scratching his forehead and ears for a while.

Mrs. Qin walked forward with a smile;

"You bastard, what are you messing around with again? Could it be that you are trying to come up with some kind of scheme to cheat someone's money?"

"Oh, it's the two aunts who have come. No, the boy is thinking about such a magical weapon. It's really a god-sent opportunity. This matter must be reported to the Supreme, and see if he can be promoted to another three or two levels of title."

The servants of Li's Second Household all nodded their heads straight. Of course, the higher the title of the head of the family, the better. Mrs. Cheng stared and laughed and cursed;

"You monkey, you have just been promoted to the county marquis, your butt is not warm yet, and you have to look forward to Shu, and you will be promoted three or two levels? Many generals are not convinced by your current title. They have been fighting with the Supreme for many years. Earn a marquis, you are a marquis with a baby, and you are not satisfied?"

Mrs. Qin also scolded;
"You shameless dog, don't talk nonsense. It is the duty of a courtier to offer some treasures to the Supreme. Don't think about rewarding everything. If you continue like this, sooner or later you will make the Supreme unhappy!"

Li Yu stuck his neck stubbornly;

"But the two aunts, the boy really did a great job this time. If you don't get promoted two levels, you will at least get one level?"

"What kind of treasure do you want to present to the Supreme, and it will also make us gain insight, and it is amazing..."

"No, this is it! Two aunts, please take a look."

The two sisters, Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Cheng glanced at the bow and arrow in Li Yu's hand, then they looked at each other again, and shook their heads. Mrs. Qin was the first to hold back;
"My son, Auntie also knows that you are a smart child. Is there any way to say that this bow and arrow is a secret? Otherwise, you wouldn't present a normal bow and arrow to His Majesty, would you?"

Mrs. Cheng next to her also nodded, and Li Yu had a smug expression on her face;

"That's right, Auntie, do you think about when the baby was never targeted? When I said it was a baby, I didn't just talk nonsense. It must be reasonable."

Madam Cheng choked on Li Yu with a smile;
"Okay, okay, let's count you can do it, hurry up and tell me that I have to eat the meat of Xiong Xiazi."

"Come on! The two aunts don't know that this bow and arrow is very unusual. It shoots half a distance longer than ordinary long bows. If it is used on our Sixteen Wei Erlang, it will be amazing. Now, you only need to stand where the thieves can't shoot, but you can shoot arrows out vigorously, isn't this worth promoting the title?"

The two wives are the main wives in the general's mansion. Although they don't know much about military affairs, they have dabbled in it. Just thinking about the benefits of bows and arrows makes me gasp.

The two sisters looked at each other and nodded, and they said in unison;
"My son, you don't want to eat lunch, go and report these to the Supreme, and it's not too late to eat when you come back."

"Succeed, listen to the two aunts, the child will go to the palace to give presents."

Mrs. Qin immediately gave a coquettish shout;
"Come here, prepare the horse quickly, and take my son to the palace."

"only!"

Li Yu took advantage of the time when the men were preparing the horses and told the kitchen to wrap five or six pieces of marinated Xiong Xiazi meat. Then he followed a group of guards out of the side yard and rode on the horses. He arrived at the gate of the palace in half an hour. The military marquis at the city gate saw that it was Lantian County Marquis who was coming, and they all greeted him warmly. Li Yu responded casually and went straight to the East Palace.

When I came to the study and inquired, I found out that the Supreme One went to the Queen's bedroom again, and Li Yu changed his way to the Queen's place. Immediately at the door, a palace official rushed in to report the news, and another palace lady respectfully welcomed Li Yu in. .

Li Yu walked into the main hall of the queen's bedroom and found that Li Shimin and the queen were talking happily, they seemed to be very happy, and walked a few steps to the middle with Xiong Xiazi's meat;

"I pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor, Your Majesty is blessed and safe, and your life is not as old as Nanshan!"

"Huh? Okay, okay, get up!"

Li Shimin is very happy recently, he has never been so happy, the Ministry of Households needs money to repair water conservancy?allow!Where do you want money to build a warehouse?allow!The Ministry of War wants money to replace armor weapons?2000 million for you!It directly frightened the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty!

Li Shimin looked at the foolish appearance of the civil and military officials in the court and burst into laughter. He laughed very happily, never before.

Although Li Dalang's greetings were nondescript, it was surprisingly comfortable to listen to. What does Li Shimin want and what is he lacking?Shoubi Nanshan is not old and loose, it sounds extremely comfortable!

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Meet the Empress."

"My son is free."

"Thank you madam."

Li Shimin asked happily;

"Da Lang, what are you holding?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the tribe beat Xiong Xiazi, and I cooked it with the latest method. I specially brought some for Your Majesty and the Empress to taste."

"Oh? It's made in a fresh way again? It just so happens that it's time for lunch, how about I taste it? Let's see if your craftsmanship is still as good as before!"

"It's Your Majesty."

Li Yu stepped forward and took out Xiong Xiazi's meat. Without further ado, he tore some of each of the six pieces of meat and put them in his mouth. He took a few steps back and ate them with big mouthfuls. "

Li Shimin directly took out a piece, divided it into two halves, gave half to Empress Changsun, and half to himself, Qian Dehai next to him reminded in a low voice;

"Your Majesty, what do you want to eat for today's lunch, I will arrange it right away."

Li Shimin knew what his subordinates meant, so he deliberately said a few words, the purpose was to see if Li Dalang had any reaction after eating Xiong Xiazi's meat, Li Shimin nodded;
"Just eat this Xiong Xiazi's meat. You don't need to cook anything else. With so much meat, isn't it enough for me and the queen?"

"Yes, the servant knows."

When Li Shimin spoke, Empress Changsun had already eaten several mouthfuls;
"Mm, um, please taste it quickly, Your Majesty. It tastes really good, so delicious. I have never eaten such delicious boiled meat."

Li Shimin heard it, the queen was a little dissatisfied with her defense against Li Dalang, and quickly responded;

"Okay, I'll try it too."

"Hmm! It's really good. Li Dalang's craftsmanship is getting better and better. It's worthy of praise. You should eat more, queen. I don't think you need to eat anything else for lunch today."

"Yeah, it's Your Majesty."

Li Shimin finished his hand in one breath, took another big piece, ate and drank two sips of water before stopping;

"How is Lizhi doing with you?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, I ate oil with both hands and mouth with oil, slept soundly, and lived happily with my younger brother every day."

Li Shimin asked again;
"Didn't you mention going back to the palace?"

"No, I mentioned it once, and as soon as I came back to the palace, A-mei cried, thinking that I was going to drive her away, I spent a long time coaxing A-mei to stop crying, and never dared to talk about these topics again. "

Li Shimin looked at Empress Changsun and said;

"Look at it, I'm right, I don't dare to spill it, and I don't want to come back after it, it must be sweating like crazy every day, I don't know what beauty looks like?"

Empress Changsun couldn't help laughing when she heard this;

"I've been confined in the palace for these years, and I'm too suffocated. Your Majesty, please allow her to stay longer."

Li Shimin nodded his head in agreement, and turned around to look at Li Yu;

"It's noon, you are in a hurry to enter the palace as soon as you enter the city without eating, maybe there are other things?"

"Your Majesty is so talented and predicts things like a god, I really admire you so much, you..."

Before Li Yu finished speaking, Li Shimin immediately had a disgusted expression;
"Okay, okay, how many times have you said these flattering words, can you change it?"

"It's Your Majesty. I want to present another treasure to His Majesty. It can be more assured that His Majesty has already brought it to the palace and placed it at the palace gate according to the rules."

Li Yu's two words directly hit Li Shimin's Achilles' heel, and Li Shimin immediately leaned forward;

"Oh? What baby is praised so much by you?"

"Back to Your Majesty, a pair of bows and arrows."

"Oh? Bows and arrows! I guess there must be something special, otherwise you wouldn't say that!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, you guessed it right again."

"Dehai arranged for someone to bring it over and show it to me."

"It's Your Majesty."

Here Qian Dehai waved his hand and immediately a servant ran out, Li Shimin looked at Li Yu seriously;

"We have no shortage of bows and arrows, but you, Li Dalang, are talking about a pair of bows and arrows. It must be because your bows and arrows can shoot farther than the bows and arrows of the Sixteen Guards, right?"

Li Yu bowed down respectfully;

"Your Majesty is really good at predicting things. As Your Majesty said, the method of making bows and arrows is a secret art that has been handed down by Orion family for thousands of years. I was found by my minister, and I specially obtained it to present to Your Majesty. My minister is a flower. A lot of money and silk..."

"Okay, okay, just say how far you can shoot. If you shoot 150 steps like the bows and arrows of the sixteen guards, I will punish you for deceiving the emperor today."

Li Yu said with a blank face as usual;
"Your Majesty will not be disappointed. This bow and arrow moves each foot once according to His Majesty's regulations. It is one step away from 230 steps, and it can injure and kill people."

Li Shimin was shocked when he heard this, and immediately stood up with a whoosh;
"What? Say it again! Li Dalang, I can tell you that there are no jokes in the army. You must not fool me with important events in the army. If you can't shoot 230 steps, do you know how serious the consequences will be?"
