Datang: Begin with Li Shimin as a father

Chapter 91 Inadvertently planting willows and willows

It may be a very good thing to make friends with such a mysterious person.

Figured this out.

Ma Zhou's mood brightened instantly!

this lunch.

It was the happiest and most comfortable lunch Ma Zhou had ever had in his life.

Fatty meat, refreshing wine, strong tea.

Let Ma Zhou's taste buds open up!

An hour later, everyone was full of wine and food.

Everyone said goodbye at the door of the restaurant.

Li Gen and Ma Zhou met in the examination room of Shangshu Province Gongyuan three days later!

Chang Sun Chong and others insisted on sending Li Gen back to the manor.

Li Gen said with a smile.

"Don't bother, brothers, you are so inspiring, just let Brother Chu Mo take me back alone."

Cheng Chumo and Li Gen rode their horses all the way to Qixia Gate.

When I got home, I naturally had to take a shortcut to go home.

"Seventh brother, can Ma Zhou really become prime minister in the future?"

As soon as the horse stepped out of Qixia Gate, Cheng Chumo asked.

"Brother Chu Mo, just take it as a casual joke from the seventh brother!"

"However, Ma Zhou has the appearance of a nobleman. Although he is temporarily staying in Zhonglang General Chang He's residence, it must not be a few years before he reaches his peak."

"Seventh brother, why can't I see that he has the appearance of a nobleman? But he has a simple and honest appearance. Since the seventh brother said that this person is good, then I believe the seventh brother and get along well with him in the future!"

The two talked and laughed, and soon arrived near the manor.

Four dogs greeted them like the wind.

Seeing their enthusiastic appearance, Li Gen felt very happy and joyful.

"Grandpa, I'm back."

Li Yuan was basking in the sun on the deck chair.

Not far away is a large sweet potato field.

"Grandson, how did you do in the exam?"

"Grandpa, don't worry, my grandson answered all the questions correctly."

"Okay, yes, yes, yes, yes!"

Li Yuan was as happy as a child.

"Seventh brother, hurry up and review your homework carefully, I will go back first."

"Well, be careful on the road, Brother Chu Mo."

Cheng Chumo agreed with a smile, got on his horse, and headed straight for Chang'an City.

"Father, I'm back."

"Well, is there anything new?"

In the living room, Cheng Yaojin's lazy voice came.

Cheng Chumo strode towards the living room.

"Father, there is a situation. The seventh brother said that Ma Zhou must be the prime minister!"

Cheng Chumo's words made Cheng Yaojin refreshed immediately.

"What the hell? Who is Ma Zhou? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"Father, listen to me tell you carefully!"

Cheng Chumo told Li Gen that he met Ma Zhou in the exam room, and then waited for Ma Zhou to finish the exam, and then they all went to Fugen Restaurant to have a drink together.

"Hey, he said that Ma Zhou failed the imperial examination this time, so he must be appointed as the prime minister in the future?"

"Ah."

Cheng Chumo nodded vigorously and said.

"I sent my seventh brother back to the manor by myself, and I even asked him about it. He said that he would never go wrong if he had a good relationship with Ma Zhou, but what he said at the banquet was just a joke, and I felt something was wrong. He's not the type to joke around."

"Hey, brat, you're getting smarter!"

Cheng Yaojin slapped Chu Mo happily.

"Ugly cow, is there anything else to report?"

Cheng Yaojin tidied up his clothes, ready to enter the palace at any time.

"Father, what's more, I wasted 100 taels of gold today."

"You prodigal bastard..."

Cheng Yaojin raised his big slap high, and finally put it down lightly.

"Hey, 100 taels of gold. If it was in the past, I would break your three legs. Now? Money is nothing."

"Tell me, why was it wasted?"

Cheng Chumo took out a contract from his cuff.

Cheng Yaojin grabbed it in his hand.

"Hey, that's fucking interesting..."

"Ugly cow, you are a prodigal, this kind of thing that loses one hundred, how the hell do you bet 100 taels?"

Hearing what his father said, Cheng Chumo was dumbfounded.

Originally, he thought that he would be beaten up, or at least scolded.

The results of it?
It turned out to be such a result.

"Father, the boys with five surnames and seven Wang families can bet up to 100 taels of gold, saying that the odds of [-] times are too high."

"Come on, I know, this contract, I put it away, maybe you really have such a blessing."

Cheng Yaojin happily put away the contract.

"Father, let's bet on all the seven brothers. Is this called having the same blessings and sharing the same hardships?"

"Hey, it's really yours. This matter, I think it's reliable."

Cheng Yaojin went to the palace with a red face.

In the imperial study, Li Shimin was drinking tea leisurely.

The imperial examination has already started, which makes Li Shimin feel very beautiful.

"Your Majesty, Duke Su please see me!"

"Oh, let him in."

Cheng Yaojin walked into the imperial study room, and respectfully greeted him.

"Knowing the festival, no courtesy, take a seat!"

"If you want tea, pour it yourself."

Cheng Yaojin smiled and poured tea for himself.

"Your Majesty, there's a big business deal that I can't handle alone."

After hearing Cheng Yaojin's words, Li Shimin scolded with a smile.

"Is there anything you can't chew on? Your teeth are so good, you dare to chew on my business!"

Li Shimin's words made Cheng Yaojin scratch his head in embarrassment.

"Your Majesty, this time is indeed a big deal, worth 7 taels of gold!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin looked at Cheng Yaojin with cold eyes.

In his heart, he was wondering what the hell Cheng Yaojin was planning.

"Your Majesty, don't you believe me?"

Cheng Yaojin was terrified by Li Shimin.

In the past, once Li Shimin heard about Qian, his eyes would light up instantly.

I have made a lot of money recently, and I am not as crazy about money as I used to be.

This made Cheng Yaojin a bit embarrassed!
"How do you make me believe it? 7 taels of gold, do you think someone in Chang'an City can get it?"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Cheng Yaojin had confidence again.

It turns out that His Majesty is still such a money fanatic.

Cheng Yaojin took a sip of tea happily and said.

"Your Majesty, perhaps no one in Chang'an City can come up with 7 taels of gold, but if seven people do it together, it won't be a big problem!"

"Oh!"

"Zhijie, what's the trick?"

Li Shimin looked all ears.

"Your Majesty, please take a look!"

Cheng Yaojin pulled the contract out of the sleeve and handed it to Li Shimin respectfully.

When Li Shimin took a look, the expression on his face became brighter instantly.

Today, Cheng Chumo placed his bet on Li Gen, the examinee, who ranked first in the first posting examination of the imperial examination.The bet is 100 taels of gold. If you win the bet, the odds will be [-] times.

Li Shimin instantly understood what Cheng Yaojin meant by the 7 taels of gold.

"Zhijie, you mean, Gen'er and Chong'er have also placed their bets?"

Cheng Yaojin saluted respectfully.

"Your Majesty Shengming, Your Majesty Shengming!"

Cheng Yaojin must be respectful when it comes to the big business of [-] taels of gold.

"Your Majesty, these five surnames and seven Wangs have made a lot of money since the imperial examinations began in the previous dynasty."

"That's right, the children of their aristocratic families are indeed quite competitive. They have talent, confidence, and strength!"

Li Shimin's complexion became more and more ugly.
