Chapter 830: The King of Shu Has No Hope

"Li County Marquis knows, what is Zui Mo's favorite thing to eat?"

After the two of them sat down, Zeng Shichun didn't directly say what he wanted to see Li Yi for. Instead, he asked confusedly.

"Fish." Li Yi picked up the tea cup and said without hesitation.

There was no surprise on Zeng Shichun's face, and he asked again: "Then Li County Hou Kezhi, what does she dislike eating the most?"

Li Yi took a sip of tea, glanced at him, and said, "It's also a fish."

Before Zeng Shichun could ask, he explained: "She likes to eat fish, but when she was a child, she got stuck in fish bones when eating fish. After that, every time she ate, she would carefully pick out the fish bones. She thought it was very troublesome, so she likes to eat fish very much." , but don’t eat it often.”

A strange color flashed across Zeng Shichun's face, he pursed his lips and asked, "Then do you know what color clothes Zui Mo likes to wear the most?"

Li Yi glanced at him and said: "You must think that I can't say white, because she doesn't usually wear white clothes, but in fact she likes white, but she feels that it is easy to get dirty when she wears white clothes when painting, so she is too lazy to wear them. …”

Zeng Shichun coughed dryly to hide his embarrassment, because that was what he really thought.

These habits of hers have been developed since childhood, and it is impossible to know about them unless someone is very close to them.

Li Yi took a sip of tea and added: "Actually, it's not just white, she also likes pink, purple..."

Zeng Shichun looked at him and asked, "Why didn't I know?"

"Of course you don't know!" Li Yi glanced at him disdainfully. If Zeng Shilang knew all this, did he think he could still sit here and talk to him now?

Seeing that Zeng Shichun seemed to be about to speak again, Li Yi waved his hand and said: "She likes to eat fish, her favorite color is white, she likes dumplings stuffed with lotus seeds, she likes to paint, especially landscapes and three-dimensional paintings, she likes to eat Osmanthus Cake, her favorite musical instrument is the guzheng, her favorite person is me, she is most afraid of thunder and the dark..."

"Her birthday is on the seventh day of June, and..., 90, 63, 91, 34C..."

When he said this, Li Yi didn't plan to say any more. Although he could still tell a lot, it was always inconvenient to tell an outsider about the small mole above her left breast.

Zeng Shichun listened to what he said one by one, and the hand holding the tea cup hung in the air. After a moment, he sighed and added: "There are some things that Nannan may not have told you. She also likes to eat Xu Ji's candied fruits. It's on East Street, but now it's called Fu Ji, and..."

"Nanny?" Li Yi was startled and asked, "Who is Nanny?"

Zeng Shichun glanced at him and said, "Nanny is Zui Mo's nickname, don't you know?"

"Nanny..., well, you continue, keep talking..." She only said very few things about her life experience. After hearing this, Li Yi suddenly became energetic. It seems that this Zeng Shilang is not that good. 's useless.

"she……"

Just as Zeng Shichun spoke, he thought of another thing and said in surprise: "Ninety, sixty-three, ninety-one, thirty-four...? What is this again?"

"This is her favorite number." Li Yi waved his hand and said, "This is not important. Just keep talking. What other interesting things happened when she was a child..."

Seeing the extremely interested expression on his face, Zeng Shichun regained his composure, took a sip of tea, looked at him, and said slowly: "The young hero Li County Marquis has a very important influence in the court, and he is highly valued by His Majesty. , was granted the title of Doctor Jin Ziguanglu... Now His Majesty is ill. Under such circumstances, the East Palace cannot be without an owner for a long time. I wonder which of the princes in the current dynasty thinks is the most suitable to take over the East Palace? "

"What does it have to do with us whether you belong to the Eastern Palace or not?" Li Yi shook his head and said, "Master Zeng, let's talk about Zui Mo... and talk about Nannan."

Zeng Shichun shook his head and said: "What Li County Marquis said is wrong. As a minister, I should share your worries for you. It is related to the fate of the country. How can you say it has nothing to do with us?"

"This matter should be decided by His Majesty's Sacred Heart. As a minister, you should position yourself correctly and not say too much."

"Your Majesty has always been wise and listened to the opinions of his ministers. This matter..."

"King Shu is definitely out of luck. Don't waste your time. Let's get down to business. What other fun things did Nannan do when she was a child?"

Zeng Shichun's hand holding the tea cup shook, but he did not wipe the tea that fell on his hand. He looked up at Li Yi and asked, "What does Marquis Li mean by this? What is the point of wasting all your efforts?"

Li Yi knocked on the table, looked at him, frowned and said, "Mr. Zeng, I came here with you to talk to you about serious things. If you continue to use these messy things to change the subject, Li will leave..."

As he said goodbye, he picked up the cup of tea in his hand.

"What a mess..." Zeng Shichun murmured. The matter of establishing the East Palace is related to the prosperity and decline of the country. If he said these words in the court, he would be drowned in the spit of the ministers of the court.

However, at this time, he couldn't care about this anymore.

Who would have thought that the Cui family, which was so prominent two years ago and the king of Shu who was at the top of the court, would end up in such a state in just two years?

King Shu has no chance, so don't waste your efforts------As expected, what happened in the past two years was not unintentional!

Is this his attitude?

So, he should have a lot of backup plans for this?

Zeng Shichun looked solemn. Although he knew he shouldn't ask this question, he still couldn't help but ask: "Dare I ask..., who do you think is more suitable for Marquis Li to sit in the East Palace?"

Bang!

Li Yi placed the tea cup heavily on the table, looked at Zeng Shichun, and said lightly: "Master Zeng, you are off topic."

Zeng Shichun looked at him for a long time, nodded and said, "Nanny..., didn't Nanny tell you these things?"

Li Yi glanced at him: "How could she tell me?"

"Since Nannan didn't tell you." Zeng Shichun smiled and said, "Then I can't tell you even more..."

Snapped!

Li Yi slapped the table and said angrily: "Zeng, you are kidding me!"

Zeng Shichun cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much, Marquis Li County, for your face today."

Li Yi narrowed his eyes and looked at him and asked: "The Ministry of Revenue should have some old accounts to settle recently, right?"

Zeng Shichun didn't know why he got involved in this matter, so he nodded and said, "I am indeed responsible for this matter."

"Since Shilang Zeng is in charge, it's easy to handle." Li Yi nodded and said, "The court is pressing this account urgently. It has been several days and there has been no movement at all. Shilang Zeng still has some free time." Drinking tea here, being passive and slacking off at work... If there is no result before tomorrow, I'll slap you, the person in charge, with dozens of blows. Isn't that too much?"

Zeng Shichun smiled and said: "The Marquis of Li County can manage the college, but he can't control our household department, right?"

"Can't you control it?" After Li Yi smiled, he turned and left without saying anything more.

Seeing the smile on Li Yi's face, Zeng Shichun finally realized something. He was shocked and immediately said: "Wait a minute, Li County Marquis stays, stays!"

He hurried downstairs and didn't see Li Yi, but was stopped by the teahouse waiter.

"Sir, you haven't settled the bill yet..."

Zeng Shichun hurriedly took out his wallet and asked, "How much is it?"

The boy said with a smile: "One hundred taels of silver."

Zeng Shichun had already taken out a few pieces of silver. Hearing this, he raised his head and looked at the man in disbelief. He asked, "What? I only want a pot of tea, one hundred taels!"

Although the Zeng family can be considered a wealthy family, they are not so luxurious that a cup of tea costs one hundred taels of silver. This is almost what the whole family spends for a month under normal circumstances.

"No, no, no, that pot of tea only costs one tael of silver." The waiter shook his head and said, "But Mr. Li said that every inch of time is worth an inch of gold. You wasted a lot of his time. For the sake of being an acquaintance, The friendly price is only ninety-nine taels..."
