Li Xiaogong Wanted to Help
Because Cheng Yaojin had gotten all the officials in the court drunk, Li Er had unknowingly stayed in Lu Villa for an entire day. Before the sky turned dark, Li Er and Cheng Yaojin went back together.
After experiencing the leisurely life of Lu Xiu and the others for a day, Li Er could not help but feel a little envious. It was simply too comfortable. Following Lu Xiu, he could enjoy delicacies that he could not enjoy in the palace.
The only pity was that he couldn't bring back some delicious food to give his most beloved empress a taste of what was truly delicious food and what was considered delicious.
What kind of delicacies did they eat in the palace? At most, they ate a little better than ordinary people.
As for Lu Manor, be it the ingredients, such as king crab, steak, or the cooking techniques (using common ingredients to cook various home-cooked dishes, they were all impeccable.
"Perhaps on the day of little friend Lu's wedding banquet, zhen can bring the empress and a few princes to have a meal.”
After all, it was the daughter of Hejian Prince Li Xiaogong who was getting married. He planned to confer Li Yuyao the title of Princess Mingyu of the Tang Empire, which could be considered the " daughter " of the Emperor of the Tang Empire. How could he not attend the wedding banquet?
Regardless of the above reason, he and Li Xiaogong were indeed related by blood. Wasn't it normal to attend the wedding banquet?
Moreover, the Guanyin maid was now eight months pregnant. If they met on the same day, it would be a good thing if they could have double happiness.
…………
"Prince of Hejian County, I brought you the 2000 catties of Maotai you bought!!”
At the second watch of the night, Cheng Yaojin went directly to the Hejian County Prince's Mansion as soon as the carriage carrying the Moutai liquor returned to Chang 'an.
"Hehe, looks like I can continue drinking tonight.。”Li Xiaogong's eyes lit up when he saw the barrels of fine wine being carried down from the carriage.
It was just the right time to let his sons have a taste of Moutai.
"I say, Xiaogong, you are his father-in-law. Why don't you ask him for it directly? Why buy it from me?”Cheng Yaojin was puzzled. If it were him, he would have gone to Lu Villa every day to freeload food and drink.
"Hehe, how can I trouble son-in-law for such a small matter? Moreover, the main reason for buying 2,000 catties of Maotai was to prepare for the wedding banquet.”The Duke of Hejian was marrying off his daughter, and all the guests he invited were either rich or noble. How could he not have good wine?
He even wanted to invite his son-in-law to be in charge of the wedding banquet. Unfortunately, he was the main character of the wedding, so how could he go and cook?
Not only did they have to hold a grand banquet at the wedding banquet, but their daughter's dowry also had to be prepared generously.
"To be honest, today, His Majesty and I ate skewers and beer at Lu Villa. It was really delicious. I really envy you for giving birth to a good daughter who can marry Little Brother Lu.。”Cheng Yaojin described the deliciousness of the skewers in detail.
"A beer?" Li Xiaogong's eyes widened and he smiled bitterly."If I had known this would happen, I would have gone to visit my daughter today. I wonder what cold beer tastes like.”
However, it was rare for him to have free time. He had to busy himself with a series of matters to prepare for his daughter's marriage.
" Haha, the wine isn't as strong as Maotai, but it's cool and refreshing. It's full of bubbles in one gulp. In one word, it's refreshing. It's perfect for drinking in summer.”Cheng Yaojin clicked his tongue.
"I don't think you're here to deliver wine. You're here to anger me.”Li Xiaogong said helplessly.
"Haha, how can that be? You're Little Brother Lu's father-in-law. I wanted to build a good relationship with you, so I wanted to be the first to send you wine. If others want to drink, they'll have to wait a few days.”Cheng Yaojin laughed.
"Forget it. There will be plenty of opportunities to drink it in the future.”Once they got married, they would immediately become a family. There was no need to be polite." Zhijie, I wonder how the construction of the Lu manor is going.”
"It should be finished soon. Little Brother Lu probably spent tens of thousands of strings for the Lu Manor. You don't know, but the scale is like a palace. If your daughter marries him, she will definitely be able to enjoy a lifetime of happiness.”Cheng Yaojin said.
"It's just building a house and he actually wants to spend tens of thousands of strings? No wonder he suddenly started selling wine. It turns out that he didn't have enough money on hand. But why didn't he tell me?”Li Xiaogong smiled bitterly.
"It's useless to tell you. You'll have to sell your family assets to gather a few hundred thousand. Actually, with his ability, a few tens of thousands of strings was nothing.”Cheng Yaojin comforted.
"Yes, that's true. When I'm done with the things at hand, I'll go to Lu Manor to see if there's anything I can help with. I'll also tell him about the wedding etiquette. He doesn't have parents, so he doesn't know a lot of etiquette. I think the Retired Emperor has to step in.”Li Xiaogong originally did not think that Lu Xiu would lack money. It was like the ability to turn stone into gold. If he wanted money, he could change it himself.
Selling Moutai was not a bad idea. It was sold for a few hundred yuan per catty, which was no different from turning stone into gold.
