In the front hall of the Qin residence.
"Brother Li, Happy New Year. I wish you a happy new year and a happy family!”
When they arrived at the hall, Qin Chuan saw Li Shiming sitting in the hall. He smiled and cupped his hands," You even brought so many gifts. It's very thoughtful of you!"”
"Brother Qin, I also wish you success in your youth!”
Seeing Qin Chuan arrive, Li Shimin also stood up and greeted him. He smiled and said," These are just some daily expenses. It's not a big gift!”
"Sit!"
The two of them sat facing each other in front of the table, and there were tea and snacks on the table.
Qin Chuan took a sip of hot water and smiled." Old Li, I really didn't expect you to come to my house to pay a New Year's visit!"”
"I originally wanted to go to your house to wish you a happy new year. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but I don't know your address!”
"Old Li, where do you live? Tomorrow, I can go to your residence to pay you a New Year's visit!”
" Happy New Year to me?!"
Li Shiming's eyes widened.
"That's right! What, you're not happy?"
Seeing Li Shiming's expression, Qin Chuan frowned.
Li Shiming turned around and laughed," Of course not! It's my fortune that your Brother Qin can come to my house! I will definitely welcome you and treat you well!”
"It's just that…"
Li Shi Min paused, his face troubled.
"It's just that it's not convenient for me these days. You know that it's the New Year and every family is rushing to pay New Year's greetings.”
"It's okay. Just tell me the address. You can go ahead with your work. I can go to your residence to pay a New Year visit later.”
"Old Li, where do you live?" Qin Chuan asked with a smile.”
Li Jun was older than him and treated him like a brother. Since she had personally visited him, how could he not return the greeting?
Seeing Qin Chuan insist on wishing him a happy new year, Li Shimin felt a headache.
If he had known this would happen, he would have been bored in the Eastern Palace. Why would he be so greedy?
Li Shimin was free during the Chinese New Year.
Unlike ordinary people who were busy visiting relatives and friends during the New Year, he was the emperor and did not have to pay a New Year's visit to anyone. It was always others who came to pay a New Year's visit to him.
The ministers had already prepared the New Year's Eve banquet and Yuan Ri court meeting. The royal family's New Year's Eve banquet and reunion dinner were also eaten on the first night of the New Year.
He had nothing to do in the palace, so he wanted to have a chat with Qin Chuan and eat a pot of hotpot.
He had also tried to get the imperial chef to make hotpot for him in the palace, but the taste was always a little lacking. It was not as good as Qin Chuan's.
"I live in…"
Speaking of the address, Li Shimin had a headache.
When he was young, he lived in the Tang Duke's Mansion in Chang 'an. During the reign of Emperor Wude, he first lived in Chengqian Palace, then moved to Hongyi Palace outside Chang' an and now lived in the Eastern Palace.
However, there were so many places, but none of them could be reported!
No matter which address it was, it would instantly expose his identity as the emperor!
Seeing that Li Shiming still hadn't revealed his family name, Qin Chuan was amused.
"Old Li, you're really a wonderful person! Don't tell me you don't even know where you live?”
Li Shiming blushed," Nonsense! It's just that my family has a lot of houses, so I often stay here and there for a while. I don't usually stay here often.”
"How about this, you can come to Chongren Square to look for me. I should be at home on the ninth day of the lunar new year.”
"Chongren Lane? Isn't that very close? Our families are facing each other across the palace! After passing through the middle section of Golden Light Gate-Spring Bright Gate Street, they would arrive!”
"I heard that His Majesty's brother-in-law Zhangsun Wuji's mansion occupies 25% of Chongren Lane's land, while his uncle Gao Shilian's mansion occupies 12% of the land!" Qin Chuan laughed. I didn't expect you to still live there!"
"Not bad, Old Li! He's rich!"
"Not bad, not bad!"
Li Shi Min smiled awkwardly.
"Alright then. I'll go to your house on the ninth day of the lunar month to wish you a happy new year." Qin Chuan smiled.”
“......”
Why couldn't he get over the hurdle of paying a New Year's visit?
Forget it, let's not think about this. Let's talk about something happy.
Li Shi Min sighed and moved his eyes." Brother Qin, what shall we have for lunch today?"”
"What do you want to eat?"
"Hotpot!"
Li Shiming's eyes lit up, but he was a little embarrassed." Hehe, I've been thinking about this taste ever since I ate at your house last time."”
"Sure, alright. Let's have hotpot for lunch today.”
Qin Chuan smiled. As expected, the nature of the Great Heaven's gluttonous country would never change no matter which dynasty it was.
Not long after, the hotpot table was set up, the fire boiler was arranged, and the hotpot was served. All kinds of dishes and seasonings were also arranged to the brim.
"Brother Qin, your hotpot is the best. It smells good. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. I went back and tried it according to your method, but I couldn't make it smell like yours!”
Looking at the hot pot that was gradually emitting steam and emitting an alluring fragrance, Li Shiming was salivating. He smiled at Qin Chuan who was carrying a jar of wine over.
"That's fine. When you go back later, I'll write a prescription for you. You can make the base according to the prescription and you'll be able to get it!”
Qin Chuan smiled and placed the wine jar on the side of the table.
"Old Li, you're lucky to have come to my house today. I'll treat you to good wine!”
"Good wine? What good wine?"
Li Shi Min was suddenly interested.
"A fine wine that even the emperor has never drunk before, can it be considered good wine?" Qin Chuan asked with a smile.”
"How can there be wine that the emperor has never drunk?”
Li Shi Min said in disbelief.
He, Li Shiming, had been in the battlefield for a long time. How many people from the military couldn't drink?
He was a person who liked to drink.
If the monarch likes something, the people will join him.
After becoming the Emperor, all the fine wine from all over the world would be offered as tribute by officials from all over the world. He really did not believe that there was any fine wine in the Great Tang that he had not drunk before.
"What's the big deal? The emperor can eat the hotpot that I treated you to!”
Qin Chuan rolled his eyes at Li Shiming, his face full of ignorance. He slapped away the seal and removed the cloth from the altar.
A strong aroma of wine rushed out from the jar.
Li Shi Min wanted to refute Qin Chuan's words, but when he smelled the alcohol, he could only feel the fragrance of the wine assaulting his nose. He couldn't help but click his tongue,"This wine smells so good!"
"Smells good, right?" Qin Chuan asked with a smile.
"Smells so good!"
Li Shimin swallowed his saliva and nodded. He grinned and quickly pushed the bowl over.
"Hurry up and give me some. Try it!"
Qin Chuan glanced at Li Shiming's drunkard face and shook his head with a bitter smile.
It seemed that this guy was not only a foodie, but also an alcoholic!
