Datang: Begin with Li Shimin as a father

Chapter 90
All the teenagers know that Yuchi Baolin is rich.

After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he rewarded the ministers who made great contributions.

Yu Chigong was rewarded with the entire Qi Palace.

Even all the gold, silver and jewels in Prince Qi's mansion were rewarded to Yu Chigong.

Several teenagers with five surnames and seven Wangs gathered together and whispered.

Although they have a big family and a great career, they don't dare to ruin their family without authorization.

Since the previous dynasty, that is, since the imperial examination, their parents have started to make a living in this way.

Once a year, always a big hit.

After some discussion, everyone finally accepted the bet made by Chang Sun Chong, Cheng Chumo and others.

When Li Gen tried to bet more, they refused.

"Little brother, these odds are sky-high odds. The maximum bet is 100 taels of gold."

Li Gen had no choice but to spread his hands helplessly.

Like the six sworn brothers, they also bet 100 taels of gold.

The other party writes the contract, and both parties sign it.

This is the minimum guarantee.

Li Gen put away the contract and turned to leave, followed by Cheng Chumo and others.

Behind him came the snickering of the children of five surnames and Qiwang.

In their hearts, the 700 taels of gold had been firmly put into their wallets.

"Seventh brother, let's go to the restaurant to celebrate and congratulate the seventh brother on the gold list in advance."

Chu Mo hooked Li Gen's shoulders, and said with a hey smile.

As for the betting, none of the six of them took it to heart.

Nowadays, with several shops and restaurants, the daily dividends are scary.

100 taels of gold is really nothing.

"Brother Chumo, let's wait a minute, the seventh brother just met a brother in the examination room."

"If it wasn't for him, the seventh brother would almost not be able to find a seat. I made an agreement with him to go to the restaurant for a drink later."

After hearing Li Gen's words, Cheng Chumo said frankly.

"Hey, helping the seventh brother is equivalent to helping our brothers, brothers, don't you think?"

Chang Sun Chong, Fang Yiai, Du He and others all nodded in agreement.

While talking, Ma Zhou came out from the door.

"Brother Ma."

Li Gen waved his hands enthusiastically.

Ma Zhou walked over with a brisk walk.

"Brother Ma, don't you mind if we go out for a drink together? I'll introduce them to you when we arrive at Forgen Restaurant."

"Brother Li Gen, are you sure you want to go to Fugen Restaurant? I can't afford it, and besides, I can't go to that kind of place, which needs to be booked in advance."

When Ma Zhou heard that it was Fugen Restaurant, the corners of his mouth twitched violently.

Even his friend Zhonglang Jiang Changhe is thinking day and night to go to Fugen Restaurant and have a good time.

"Brother Ma, it's okay. We have a VIP card, so we don't need to make a reservation in advance. I'm going to treat you today."

"So, Ma Zhou is lucky today. Since the little brother is so forthright, I, Ma Zhou, will naturally accompany me!"

The eight rode their horses and left the imperial city.

Turn left at the Zhuque Gate, go east all the way, pass Shengyefang, Pingkangfang, and a hundred steps ahead, you will arrive in front of Fugen Restaurant.

Zhao Si and Feng Wu at the door suddenly found the young master coming.

Immediately walk quickly to greet you.

"This is my son's VIP card, no need to make a reservation, right?"

Seeing Zhao Si and Feng Wu coming out, Li Gen immediately spoke in front of them.

Zhao Si and Feng Wu, both very clever people, saw Ma Zhou beside the young master.

Immediately understood what the young master meant.

This is because he does not want the young master to know that he is the owner of this restaurant.

"Gentlemen, please, those who hold our VIP card naturally don't need to make reservations and queue up."

Zhao Si bowed and invited everyone to enter the restaurant.

Feng Wu quickly returned to the restaurant and informed Hongxiu, Tianxiang, and the rest of the restaurant.

Don't reveal the identity of the young master.

Cheng Chumo, Changsun Chong and others can be seen.

The seventh brother didn't want to scare the brother he just met.

So deliberately concealed his identity in a low-key manner.

"Young master, this table is the closest to the window and the brightest place, what do you think?"

"Well, here it is!"

Li Gen nodded in satisfaction.

"Tell you shopkeepers, all the dishes are served once, good tea and wine, just serve them."

"Come on, gentlemen, please wait a moment."

Hong Xiu and Tian Xiang came with smiles all over their faces, carrying a teapot and wine pot.

Because Fu Gen restaurant, there is no rule of pouring tea and wine for guests.

Cheng Chumo gave a wink, and Yuchi Baolin and Qin Huaidao poured tea and wine one by one.

Don't look at Cheng Chumo's stupidity, Yuchi Baolin and Qin Huaidao especially like to listen to Cheng Chumo's instigation.

The rich tea fragrance made Ma Zhou sniff hard.

"Brother Ma, come, let's drink tea before the dishes are served!"

Li Gen said very understandingly.

"Good tea! Really good tea!"

Ma Zhou narrowed his eyes happily.

"Spicy fried bean sprouts are here!"

"A pot of stewed lamb!"

“One serving of spicy fried chicken!”

"A plate of stir-fried lamb tripe!"

"Our restaurant's new signature dish today is braised pork!"

Following the shouts of the restaurant guys.

Delicious delicacies with all kinds of color, fragrance and taste quickly filled a large table.

Li Gen took this opportunity to introduce Changsun Chong, Cheng Chumo, Fang Yiai and others to Ma Zhou one by one.

Every time someone was introduced, Ma Zhou's heart skipped a beat.

These are the sons of some of the most powerful officials in the dynasty!
Judging by the expressions of the six of them, the identity of this man named Li Gen is even more difficult.

And why did he still take the imperial examination?

Just when Ma Zhou was having various doubts in his heart, a voice sounded.

"Brother Ma, come on, raise your wine glass, after drinking this glass of wine, we will be friends."

Li Gen picked up the wine glass and said with a smile.

"Mr. Li, Ma Zhou's status is low, and Ma Zhou is grateful for being respected by the young master. However, because of his status, Ma Zhou dare not climb high on this friend!"

"Brother Ma, I really don't like to hear what you say. What are you talking about? If I have the same thoughts as you, I can have these six sworn brothers, and the six uncles are all high officials in the court. My father is just a seventh-rank county magistrate!"

"Brother Ma, your heavenly court is full, and your official fortune is prosperous. Although you failed the imperial examination this time, you will definitely worship the prime minister in the future!"

Li Gen's words shocked everyone!

"Mr. Li, I'm joking. I can't even pass the imperial examinations. How can you be the prime minister?"

Li Gen noticed the strange color on the faces of Chang Sun Chong and others, and knew that he was talking too fast and said that he was bald.

"Hahahaha, I'm just kidding, but brother Ma is definitely a blessed person, you friend, I'm sure."

"Okay, since Mr. Li doesn't dislike my humble status, Ma Zhou recognizes you as a friend."

Ma Zhou picked up the wine glass, raised his head and drank it down in one gulp!

"Okay, Brother Ma is really refreshing!"

Li Gen also raised his head and drank it all in one gulp!

"Brother Ma, try this braised pork dish, it tastes very good."

Hearing this, Ma Zhou was taken aback for a moment.

The guy who just served the food clearly reminded him that this braised pork dish is a new dish today.

However, Li Gen actually knew this dish, and it tasted very good!
