Old Li, Take Me As Your Master
Li Shimin smiled awkwardly and didn't reply.
After the few of them sat down again and drank another round of wine, the dishes on the table were almost gone.
Wei Zheng estimated the time and took the initiative to remind Li Shimin,"Old Li, it's getting late. Shouldn't we go back and consider the deal we just sent out of the city?”
Li Shi Min was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded.
"Old Wei is right. It's getting late. Let's stop talking here today. We'll come back another day.”
Li Shimin took out several strings of money from his wallet.
Wang Chen hurriedly glared at him.
"What's wrong, Old Li? Didn't we agree that I'll treat you today? Why are you still being so polite with me?”
It wasn't that Wang Chen didn't like money, nor was it that he really wanted to talk about brotherhood.
Instead, since he had agreed to be the host, he might as well do it to the end.
This could be considered a long-term investment. In the future, these merchants would become his loyal customers.
However, Li Er still stubbornly put the money on the table.
" Brother Wang, we know you have good intentions, but it's not easy for you to make a living in Chang 'an. You must accept this money. We'll still treat it as us ordering food and wine today."”
"Besides, you've told us so much just now. We've really benefited a lot. This money can be used to buy a story.”
Wang Chen pondered for a moment before accepting the money.
"Then Old Li, if you say so, I won't stand on ceremony with you. Each of you bring a jar of hard liquor back from me.”
Li Shi Min and the others accepted it happily.
Zhangsun Wuji smiled and said,"Shopkeeper, why don't you bring me a few more jars? I'll send them to a few friends and let them come to your place to eat and drink next time."”
Wang Chen clapped his hands and said very straightforwardly,"No problem. Since you, Old Sun, have spoken, would I still refuse?”
As he spoke, he ran into the wine cellar and directly carried out a few jars.
"It seems that you brothers can't take much. Just these five or six jars, one in each hand.”
After Zhangsun Wuji and the others carried two jars each, they prepared to leave Wang Chen's tavern.
……
However, just as they were about to leave, Wang Chen suddenly pulled Li Shimin back.
"By the way, Old Li, I almost forgot to tell you. Next time you come to my place, remember to prepare ten pieces of cured meat and some money.”
Li Shi Min was confused by the order.
"I can understand if you prepare more money, but why did you bring ten pieces of cured meat?”
Wang Chen's smile disappeared, and his expression became solemn as he patted Li Shiming's shoulder.
"Bring ten pieces of cured meat as a disciple gift. Come and acknowledge me as your master!”
Li Shi Min: "???"
He was even more confused now and did not understand what was going on.
"Why do I suddenly want to take you as my master?”
" You see," Wang Chen said earnestly," since the first time we met, we've known each other for so long. Every time you come to the tavern, you have to ask me some questions."”
"From the royal court and the royal family, to the common people and the marketplace, to the border and beyond the Great Wall, you've asked all kinds of questions.”
"If you keep asking, you'll learn everything I have.”
"If that's the case, you should acknowledge me as your master. Otherwise, wouldn't I have suffered a huge loss?”
"I think that with my level, I'm more than enough to be your master.”
Li Shimin was speechless.
This Little Shopkeeper Wang was really awesome.
He actually fiddled with it for so long and still wanted to be the emperor's teacher. This was too much.
Li Shiming was not young anymore, what was he thinking?
"Cough…cough!"
"Shopkeeper Wang, you see, I'm not young anymore. If I really want to take you as my master, wouldn't I be a joke to others?”
"If you were a few decades older, I would definitely agree today. After all, you are knowledgeable and intelligent.”
"The difficulty lies in your age.”
Wang Chen immediately fell into deep thought.
"Old Li, what you said makes sense. But look at how you learned so many things from me.”
Li Er didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He turned around and glared at Zhangsun Wuji and Wei Zheng, who were trying hard to hold back their laughter.
"How about this, when there's a chance, I'll bring that good-for-nothing kid of mine over and let you be his teacher."”
"This way, whether it's age or seniority, it's at least acceptable. We brothers can continue to be friends of the same generation. What do you think?”
Li Shi Min said it casually, but Zhangsun Wu Ji and the other two's hearts jumped.
Other than Crown Prince Li Chengqian, there was probably no one else who was the good-for-nothing brat that His Majesty spoke of.
F * ck, this was a sign that he was going to make a wish to become the Crown Prince's Grand Tutor!
The Crown Prince's Grand Tutor was an extremely important official position. It represented the next emperor's assistant minister and could influence the next emperor's words and actions.
His Majesty thought too highly of Shopkeeper Wang. It was indeed a little terrifying.
