Li Shimin

Chapter 18 Li Er, please pay for the meal!
Pei Ji, on the other hand, was stunned.

Taking a careful look at Li Xuan, he made sure that he was not mistaken.

The person in front of him is definitely the King Zhao of the Western Mansion.

As the first hero who participated in Li Shimin and Li Yuan's rise in Jinyang, Pei Ji was very familiar with the Li family.

Even the one with the best punch and the most abnormal head in the Li family, Li Xuanba, Zhao Wang of the Western Mansion!

Pei Ji also often meets with him. .

But, why would His Majesty be so indifferent?

Even, even Li Wei?
Thinking about it, Pei Ji looked at the faces of Li Shimin and Li Wei for a long time with a puzzled expression, and then looked at Li Xuan's face for a long time, but he still couldn't see why.

Then he cupped his hands and asked: "Dare to ask my little master, is it true that King Zhao is reincarnated?"

"King Zhao?"

Li Xuan continued to look puzzled.

"May I ask which Prince Pei is the King of Zhao?"

"Cough cough!"

Hearing this, Pei Ji was startled, and hurriedly bowed his hands and apologized: "King Zhao is not the prince of His Majesty today. Since Mr. Xiao is not King Zhao, then I have admitted the wrong person! However, Mr. Zhao's appearance is too different from King Zhao's." They are similar, so Pei admits his mistake, and please forgive me, my little master."

After all, he sighed heavily.

"Pei Gong doesn't need to be like this. Before that, Li Wei and Master Li both mistook me for the wrong person. It seems that the Zhao Wang should be named Li Xuanba!"

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Pei Ji couldn't help but quickly looked at Li Shimin and Li Wei at the side.

But he saw that these two people were glaring at him!

"Okay, Duke Pei doesn't need to guess anymore. This king grew up with Xuan Ba, so I hope that Li Xuan is Xuan Ba's resurrection more than Pei Gong, but it's a pity that Li Xuan is not Xuan Ba ​​after all!"

Then, without waiting for Pei Ji to speak, Li Shimin continued: "Pei Gong's waist is just right, so it's not suitable to stand for a long time. If you have anything to do, let's sit down and talk about it first!"

"My lord is right!"

At this time, Pei Ji didn't understand that His Majesty didn't want this little master to know his true identity.

Therefore, he continued to talk, bowed his hands and said, "Thank you, my lord, for your concern!"

Immediately, he sat next to Li Shimin.

Seeing this, no matter how depressed he was, Li Xuan endured it, and continued to take out two sets of bowls and chopsticks from the cupboard, and put them in front of Pei Ji.

After all, there are still etiquettes for receiving guests in future generations.

"I don't know if Mr. Pei had lunch. The boy's family is poor, and he only has a few steamed buns for him. If there is anything wrong, please forgive him!"

"Haha, my little master is overthinking, such a sweet steamed bun is the most precious thing!"

After all, Pei Ji grabbed a steamed bun and ate it.

I don't know if Li Xuan forgot or was in a hurry to eat, but this time he didn't force Pei Ji to wash his hands before eating.

Seeing Pei Ji eating, Lawyer Pei, who couldn't bear it any longer, also hurriedly grabbed a big steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth, regardless of his image.

This time, finally no one came to bother.

It would allow Li Xuan to finish his meal in peace.

……

After dinner.

Li Shimin, Pei Ji and the others all stroked their bellies at the same time, leaning back on the chair comfortably, motionless.

After a while, Pei Ji let out a long breath.

He bowed his hands to Li Xuan who was on the opposite side, and thanked him again.

"This meal is the most delicious meal this old man has ever eaten in this life, thank you for your hospitality!"

"Pei Gong is too polite!"

Li Xuan smiled slightly, "A steamed bun costs five cents, a bowl of vegetables ten cents, a bowl of rice soup costs two cents, I will ask Mr. Pei to pay for the meal later!"

Forehead!
After the words fell, Pei Ji, Li Shimin and the others all froze.

Master, is this collecting money?

Moreover, after knowing their identities, they asked for money!
"Don't be alarmed, Mr. Pei and the lord. The boy is deep in the mountain village, remote and barren, and it is difficult to make money. And such a meal, boy, is enough for the boy for several days. Although this matter is insulting to the gentlemen, the boy still needs to live, so it is impossible You have the cheek to charge a few for your meal!"

"I want to pay too?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin, who was planning to watch a play, froze immediately.

"nature!"

Li Xuanyi said in a serious manner: "My lord and this Li Wei just ate several big steamed buns, this is the boy's food for a few days."

"Besides, the medicinal materials used by the boy to save Li Wei last time were still short of the usual [-] Wen! This time, should I also pay the boy one piece?"

Li Shimin...

Li Wei...

Pei Ji, lawyer Pei...

This not only collects the meal money, but also reminds the debt!
Thinking about it, Lawyer Pei couldn't help but said, "Even so, I charge five cents for a bun, isn't it a little too much? Even in Chang'an City, you can buy two steamed buns for a penny." !"

"Magistrate Pei's words are different!"

Li Xuan directly retorted: "May I ask the magistrate Pei, are the white flour steamed buns in Chang'an City as big as the boy's white flour steamed buns? Are there any boy's steamed buns that are soft and sweet?"

"Surely not. If this is the case, shouldn't a boy's steamed bun be four times more expensive than the steamed buns in Chang'an City? It should be reasonable to charge two yuan for a steamed bun, right?"

After listening, Li Shimin, Pei Ji, and lawyer Pei all nodded subconsciously.

"Besides, the white flour used for the boy's white flour steamed buns has to be purchased from Chang'an City dozens of miles away, and the shipping fee is much more expensive than in Chang'an City. Is it right for the price to be more expensive? If so, it is at least It has to be sold for three pennies!"

Several people subconsciously nodded.

"Furthermore, when the boy steamed the steamed buns, he added a few precious seasonings to make the steamed buns white and big. Will the price increase by another penny?"

Gradually, Li Shimin, Pei Ji, Lawyer Pei and others began to hear that something was wrong.

However, he couldn't hear anything wrong, so he nodded again.

"Finally, when you eat, do you find that the dining table and chairs you are sitting on are different from the tables, chairs and stools in the past? After sitting for so long, you still don't feel any discomfort?"

Li Shimin, Pei Ji, and lawyer Pei were startled and nodded again.

"So, plus a penny, it's reasonable!"

After speaking, Li Xuan quietly looked at Lawyer Pei.

After all, among so many people, only Lawyer Pei seems to be in the lowest position and can afford to pay.

"This?"

Seeing this, Attorney Pei hurriedly looked at Pei Ji who was at the side.

Although what Li Xuan said was very reasonable, he always felt cheated.

"It doesn't matter, Da Lang, go and calculate how much it is, and pay it to the little master!" Pei Ji said.

After hearing this, Attorney Pei quickly untied an exquisite cloth bag made of silk from his waist.

Seeing this, Li Xuan frowned slightly, and said directly: "Pei Gong ate a steamed bun, a bowl of vegetables, and drank a bowl of rice soup, and he had to pay a total of seventeen Wen! And Pei County Magistrate, today, two Steamed buns, a bowl of vegetables, and a bowl of rice soup cost 22 Wen!

In addition, the county magistrate Pei and others had to pay 110 Wen for eating ten steamed buns, five bowls of vegetables, and five bowls of rice soup yesterday.These three sums of money add up to a total of 140 nine coins! "

"Ok?"

Hearing Li Xuan figured it out without hesitation, both Pei Ji and Li Shimin couldn't help being surprised.

Immediately, he quickly looked at Lawyer Pei: "Is that the number?"
