The maidservant shook her head.
"We were sold to the palace by our parents since we were young to receive the education of the palace. After we were not selected, we should have been sent to other nobles to do odd jobs.”
"But Second Master Li took a fancy to us and bought it at a higher price.”
"Thus, we followed him to this place.”
After hearing this, Li Zimo understood a little.
The Great Tang valued trade, but officials could not engage in trade.
A businessman like Second Brother Li didn't have much status.
However, as long as one had money, there were still many preferential treatments.
If there weren't these wealthy families, who would pay taxes to the national treasury?
Without thinking much, Li Zimo continued cooking.
While cooking, Li Zimo did not forget to teach them some cooking skills.
In the future, even if he didn't cook, he could still taste the taste of his hometown.
For example, Mapo Tofu, Dried Blood Curd, Fish with Sauerkraut, and so on.
Soon, a few plates of stir-fried dishes were done.
In the pavilion in the garden, Li Zimo and Li Shiming started drinking.
Li Shiming had come to look for Su Mo for no other reason.
She was here to give him a house and a maid.
Most importantly, she wanted to drink with him and brag.
Li Zimo was a transmigrator after all. He was knowledgeable and experienced.
All kinds of folk stories and two-part sayings were at his fingertips, and he was extremely humorous.
After drinking a few taels of wine, Li Shimin was radiant.
Most of the alcohol in the Tang Empire was rice wine with a very low alcohol content. It was not even as good as modern beer.
This was the reason why the ancients never got drunk.
Li Shi Min suddenly said," Third Brother, I will ask someone to send you money every month. After all, you have to support 30 maids. The consultation fees you collected are far from enough."”
Li Zimo hurriedly waved his hand.
"Second Brother, you don't have to worry about this. I'll give you a room and a servant girl. How can I ask you to give me money?”
Li Shi Min paused for a moment.
That's true. Who is my royal brother?
If he couldn't even feed a few mere servant girls, then he was underestimating him too much.
"Alright, no matter what, just ask me if you need money in the future.”
"One more thing, these maids are all lifelong, which means that their marriage in the future will be decided by you.”
"You know what I mean.”
Li Zimo didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Second brother, what are you thinking about?"
"Am I that kind of person?"
Li Shi Min smiled at Li Zimo.
" I don't know about that, but I do. We're both men, hahaha…"
Li Zimo couldn't stop laughing.
"Alright, alright, let's have a drink.”
Li Shi Min imitated Li Zimo's tone,""Come, let's go!"
Very quickly, the pot of wine was finished.
The two of them felt that it was not enough and asked the servant girl to bring another pot over.
Li Zimo went to stir-fry a pile of peanuts and cut half a catty of mutton.
Li Shimin was tipsy when he suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, Third Brother, I haven't asked you yet. Who did you learn your medical skills from? How can you tell any illness at a glance?”
Li Shiming was half drunk and said what he was thinking.
Back then, he had an unbearable headache, so he had asked Li Zimo to perform a craniotomy on him on impulse.
Now that he thought about it, he was not a god. How could he see what was growing in his brain?
Li Zimo had already thought of an answer to this question.
"To tell you the truth, I once swore in front of my master that I would never tell anyone about my identity unless I had a life-and-death relationship with that person.”
"But now that Master has passed away for many years, and you are my only elder brother in the world, I will tell you in detail.”
Li Shimin was deeply moved.
If Li Zimo did not treat him as a family member, he would definitely not break his oath.
"Third brother, don't worry. No matter what your identity is, second brother will never reveal anything to anyone.”
Li Zimo drank a mouthful of wine and started to make up a story.
"I'm an orphan. My hometown is in the Bashu area of Yizhou. I was adopted by my master when I was young.”
"Master claimed to be an immortal who cultivated the Dao. He taught me all kinds of skills since I was young. Whether it was medicine, painting, chess, or literature, I learned them all from Master.”
"As for Second Brother asking me why I can tell the difference between a person's illness and a rare disease with just a glance, it's because a person's illness is written on their face.”
"Master taught me how to identify illnesses by looking at faces.”
"That day, the Chengqi acupoint and Yintang acupoint on Second Brother's face were emitting a strange color. This is a sign that there is a tumor in his brain, so I dare to be so certain.”
Hearing Li Zimo's explanation, Li Shi Min finally understood.
No wonder there was such a strange person in the world.
Could it be that his master was really an immortal?
"Dare I ask, third brother, what is your master's name and what does he look like?”
" Your Honorable Master has white hair and a youthful face," Li Zimo replied." He claims to be 138 years old. His name is Li Qingyun.”
Li Shi Min was stunned.
F * ck, 138 years old?
