"That's easy. Let's take a gamble!" Li Chongyi said with a smile. If Xiao Wei and Ge Ping really love each other, not only can I fulfill their wishes, I can even take out 1,000 strings to buy Xiao Wei some dowry. He wanted her to be together with Ge Ping in glory. "Also, I need to say that since Ling Wu's original intention was to help Xiao Wei escape from the sea of suffering, even though I like beautiful women, I have never touched Xiao Wei. Moreover, I had a family in my manor take her as their daughter. Now, she is a good wife, and Xiao Wei is still unmarried.”
"Alright, I'll bet with you! If Ge Ping is really lying and Xiao Wei is unwilling to be with him, then this king will take out 1200 strings as Xiao Wei's dowry and choose a good husband for Xiao Wei.”"However, it must be my men and your men who go together to call Miss Xiao Wei over so that no one can cause trouble for her."”
This meant that he was afraid that Li Chongyi would get someone to threaten Xiaowei on the way. Li Tai was very thoughtful.
"Of course!" Li Chongyi smiled. You should be fine with accompanying me, right? Remember, no one is allowed to talk to her along the way. Just tell her that I asked her to come over.”
After Chai Lingwu and one of Li Tai's guards left, Li Chongyi smiled and said,""It's boring to be idle. Is Your Highness interested in playing a game of chess?”
"Alright! That's what I'm thinking." As Li Tai spoke, he sat down where Ge Ping had been sitting. He had already seen the match between Li Chongyi and Ge Ping. He believed that his Go skills were better than Li Chongyi's, so he naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity.”
"I wonder if Your Highness has heard of perfume?" Li Chongyi asked with a smile.”
"Of course I have heard of it. Mother had received a bottle before and it was really fragrant. I heard from mother that this perfume was given by you. Could it be that you have something called perfume?”"If there's more, I'm willing to buy three bottles at the price of 100 strings per bottle!" Li Tai asked.”
" I don't have it now, but I have the secret recipe for making perfume. My people are already preparing to build a perfume workshop. It is estimated that it will be sold in Chang 'an City in about a month. This perfume had a total of three series, with more than ten flavors to choose from. The first series was called Lancome, also known as the noble ladies. It was specially for the noble ladies to use. The users had to be either rich or noble. The second series was called Estee Lauder, also known as Unlimited Charm. It was specially provided to sisters in brothels or concubines in rich families. After using it, it was guaranteed to increase your charm. The last series was called L'Oreal. It could also be said that it was a commoner series. As long as they had a little money, they could make themselves smell good all day long. Unfortunately, due to limited manpower and resources, the first batch of perfumes could only supply 100 bottles of each type. There's no need to think about a noble lady, because the Empress has already reserved all of them. Even if I wanted to keep a bottle, I wouldn't be able to do so. My father, for a few bottles of perfume, actually…Sigh, forget it, let's not talk about it anymore…Sorry, sorry, I digressed. His Highness the King of Wei just mentioned a bet, right? Then, does Your Highness think that this perfume formula can be used as a bet?”
Perfume recipe as a bet? Of course, this would work!
Li Tai gave a look to the person behind him. The person behind him understood and stood up."His Highness the King of Wei has always been thrifty. This Xu is willing to pay for this bet for His Highness the King of Wei. Presumably, this perfume needs to be sold in a shop, right? I'm willing to take out a shop in the eastern market.”
Li Chongyi shook his head." It's not enough. It's definitely an exaggeration to say that the perfume business earns a lot of money every day. However, it will only earn you ten days at most.”Ten days, which was ten days.
"I'll add another 300 strings!" Another person stood out and said.
"I'll add 100 strings!"
"I'll add a cloud brocade!"
"I want to buy a restaurant in the east of the city!"
"I'll add a century-old spirit ginseng!"
“……”
After the dozen or so people around Li Tai spoke one after another, Li Tai continued,"I'll add another thousand strings. This bet should be enough, right?”
"Yes, yes. Thank you, everyone. I'm very, very grateful. I'll thank everyone for your generosity in advance.”These people were all giving him money, so Li Chongyi was naturally more polite to them.
"Generous? Haha, Li Chongyi, it won't be easy for you to take away these stakes!”As he spoke, Li Tai said to the person beside him,""Everyone, don't worry. After obtaining the perfume formula, I will not hide it from you.”
After the bet was made, the two sat down on two sides. Li Tai chose to play black first and place a piece first, using a three-star layout. This kind of arrangement focused on practical benefits in order to obtain territory on the side. It was considered the mainstream nowadays.
Li Chongyi naturally had his own ways to deal with this kind of flow, and his method was the famous Cosmic Flow.
After each side had played twenty or so pieces, Li Tai had gained an absolute advantage. No one was surprised by this.
Ge Ping was the only one who was surprised. He realized that Li Chongyi had lost a lot in this game. If Li Chongyi had been at this level before, he could have easily won instead of losing. This made him feel depressed. Why was Li Chongyi able to perform so well when he met him?
As the game progressed, Li Tai's advantage became more and more obvious. If it was someone who knew their own limits, they might have already surrendered, but Li Chongyi was still resisting.
Actually, there was no conflict between the two of them. Li Chongyi had coincidentally come here today. It was impossible for Li Tai to have specially waited for him.
However, it was true that Li Tai was unhappy with Li Chongyi. Speaking of which, it had to start from the few poems that Li Chongyi had written before. Both of them belonged to the Li Clan. It was inevitable that everyone would compare Li Tai's poems and calligraphy to Li Chongyi. Who asked Li Tai to be the most talented person in the Li Clan before this?
In this comparison, Li Tai was naturally inferior.
In addition, a few days ago, Li Tai had brought a few new songs with him in high spirits. He wanted Li Shimin to comment on them for him. To put it bluntly, he wanted his parents to praise the child who had scored 100 points in the exam.
Unfortunately, Li Shiming only took a glance at it before he brushed it off. Although he also praised her, his tone was indifferent, as if he was just replying.
Li Tai was very disappointed. Then, he thought that Li Chongyi's appearance must have made his father think that his talent was inferior to Li Chongyi's.
Therefore, he wanted to use this opportunity to compete with Li Chongyi to clear his name. He was not as good as Li Chongyi in poetry and calligraphy, but Li Chongyi was not as good as him in chess either! This was called having one's shortcomings and one's strengths!
