In the main hall of the palace, Cheng Yaojin, who had come to visit Li Shiming, was led into the hall by a eunuch.
"Your Majesty, I saw that you seemed to be troubled by many things recently, so I came to see you.”
Cheng Yaojin was familiar with Li Shimin, so he didn't stand on ceremony.
"Good, you came."
Li Shi Min threw the memorial in his hand and heaved a sigh of relief."Drink two cups."
"Your Majesty, if you take the initiative to ask me for a drink, it must be something very troublesome.”
Cheng Yaojin was stunned.
He was a famous alcoholic maniac, and there were only two kinds of people who took the initiative to drink with him.
One was those who didn't know his background and weren't familiar with him.
The other was those who were so annoyed that they didn't want to live anymore and just wanted to get drunk.
Obviously, Li Shi Min was the latter.
The last time he took the initiative to drink with Cheng Yaojin, he was still a prince.
To be exact, it was on the eve of the Black Tortoise Sect incident…
Thinking of this, Cheng Yaojin narrowed his eyes.
It seemed that the Emperor had been troubled by a lot of things recently. It was comparable to the change in the Black Tortoise Sect!
"Do you want to drink here or somewhere else?”Li Shimin gave Cheng Yaojin a domineering look.
"If Your Majesty wants to get drunk, I have a good place to go!”
Cheng Yaojin thought of Li Mo's new feast and wine, and his eyes lit up.
"Where?"
Li Shi Min was also surprised to see Cheng Yaojin like this, and his curiosity was piqued.
"Hehe, this place is Li Mo's house!”
" That kid has prepared a feast and liquor that I've never seen before for tomorrow's housewarming party," Cheng Yaojin said with a smile." His Majesty will definitely be satisfied."”
"Oh, Li Mo, I didn't expect him to make a wine that you like so much.”
Li Shi Min nodded and said,"If that's the case, I'll go to his housewarming party tomorrow."”
"Alright, I will wait for Your Majesty at the palace gate tomorrow afternoon.”
Cheng Yaojin, who had completed his mission, smiled proudly and left.
Li Shi Min sat alone in the side hall. Suddenly, he thought of Li Mo, who had rushed out of the Wei River while roaring.
"Li Mo, oh Li Mo, if only you could lend me a hand this time.”
"If that's the case, why not marry a princess to you?" he sighed.”
……
Early morning of the second day, in the residence of the Champion Marquis.
Today was the housewarming banquet of the Marquis of Champion's Residence. All the servants in the residence were busy.
Some unloaded the goods from the carriages, while others were busy slaughtering pigs and sheep.
The slaughtered pigs were quickly chopped up by the servants and sent to the kitchen.
The servant girls in the kitchen, who had been trained in cooking skills overnight, were placed in large basins to soak.
After soaking and washing, they started to marinate the fermented bean curd.
They marinated it in the morning and started cooking in the afternoon. The timing was just right.
The remaining maids, including Li Fufeng's Moonlike Snow, could not stay idle.
Not only did they have to decorate the living room, but they also had to decorate the entire manor with lanterns and streamers.
Even the plaque that Li Shimin had personally written had a red colored section on top.
It was really beautiful!
The busy butler, Zhang Di, saw Li Mo coming out of his room and quickly went forward to greet him.""Good morning, Master."
Li Mo looked around and saw that the residence had begun to get busy in an orderly manner. He was instantly very satisfied with Butler Zhang Di.
"Is everything ready?"
"His Majesty might come today, so we can't make any mistakes," Li Mo said.”
"Don't worry, Old Master. Fresh cattle and sheep have been purchased and are being slaughtered. The servant girls have also practiced cooking overnight.”
"Good!"
Li Mo nodded.
Everything was ready except for Li Shimin!
……
In the afternoon, the servants who were waiting for the guests began to arrive one after another.
These servants were responsible for carrying the gifts and handing in the gift list.
This time, apart from Li Shimin, Li Mo's father-in-law, Li Jing, was also invited.
The others were Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, Gao Shilian, and Fang Xuanling, who were close to Li Jing.
As for the other officials, Li Mo also sent out invitations as usual.
To his surprise, other than those two from the Zhangsun Clan who had pleaded illness to not come, those who were qualified to stand in the imperial court basically gave him face and were willing to come.
In the Tang Dynasty, it was a custom for the higher-ups to send gifts together with a list of gifts in advance.
If they were of the same level, they would first deliver the gifts and then hand over the gift list in person.
As for the lower level…
Li Mo's General of Destiny was a Rank One, but it was only a title for the time being. He did not have any real power.
He didn't have any troops under him, so he naturally didn't have any subordinates.
Therefore, all he received now was a list of gifts and gifts.
"General Li Jing, 5,000 strings of copper coins!”
Butler Zhang Di stood at the door and sang the gift list loudly.
The first gift was from Li Jing, who had given him a million yuan in cash in the future.
This made Li Mo, who was sitting in the living room with his ears pricked up, sigh. He was still his father-in-law, so he knew how to give something practical.
Five thousand strings of coins in one go. As expected of the Li Jing who didn't say many harsh words!
"General Cheng Zhijie, 50 live sheep and 30 live pigs!”
Zhang Di's voice rang out again, and Li Mo's face fell.
This glutton! He would send food.
" Your Majesty has arrived." This time, Zhang Di's voice was trembling.
Li Mo was stunned. What did he mean? Li Shiming, this big boss, wouldn't send out only one person, right?
"Husband, don't be in a daze. Her Majesty has arrived.”
Li Fufeng, who was beside him, jumped up. Only then did Li Mo react.
This wasn't a gift list, but a f * cking person!
