Chapter 73: The Runaway Li Shimin Part 1

Not long after, Lu Zhi came with a group of craftsmen. They followed Li Hao's order and removed the windmill leaves intact. They worked for a long time. By the time the demolition was finished, it was already sunset. Everyone was watching quietly, and no one left.

After dismantling the windmill leaves, Li Hao sneered at Liu Banxian: "Is it OK now?"

Liu Banxian nodded with a pretentious look on his face: "It's OK. At noon tomorrow, I will open an altar in Xiahe Village to pray for rain. I hope that the Lord will come to watch the ceremony."

"I will go if you don't say it." Li Hao raised his eyebrows and laughed, "I'm still waiting to cut off your tongue and feed the dog." After that, he turned around and left.

Seeing that the matter here was over, the villagers dispersed one after another, and the originally bustling river bank became quiet in an instant.

As soon as Li Hao walked up to Qinghe Bridge and was about to go home, he heard a call from behind: "Young Master Li, stop, stop."

Li Hao stopped and turned around and saw three middle-aged men in brocade clothes coming quickly from behind. He couldn't help but frown and asked, "Who are the three?"

These three people are naturally the Divine Dynasty. Li Shimin and Tian Meng were all there. When they got closer, Divine Dynasty was about to claim his identity, but Li Shimin took the lead and said: "I... I am a traveling businessman. These two people behind me are my accountant and servants. We passed by Guidi but missed Guantou. I wonder if we could spend a night in your mansion."

"Businessman..." Li Hao raised his three of them and smiled a lot, "Of course you can stay at my house, but... the accommodation fee for my house is not cheap." He said as he stretched out his right hand and rubbed his three fingers constantly. The meaning was very simple, give money.

When Wang Chaosheng and Li Shimin heard this, they looked dark, while Tian Meng looked at Li Hao with horror. After all, the first time he saw someone showing such a despicable face and asking for money from Li Shimin, he was ready. When Li Shimin gave his order, he went up and removed Li Hao from a huge amount.

Although Li Hao personally admitted in the Golden Palace that he was greedy for money, when Li Shimin truly saw it, he suddenly wanted to beat him.

It was the first time he had lived to this age that he had met the master who asked him for money. Seeing Li Hao's wretched face, he couldn't believe that this guy was the young hero of the Tang Dynasty that he had always praised.

The dynasty on the side laughed dryly and asked Li Hao: "How much does it cost?"

"That's right, it depends on your sincerity." Li Hao's bad expression did not diminish at all, and his eyebrows kept raising, "Sincerity is big enough, so there is a good room to live in."

Li Shimin frowned and asked unhappily: "What if he is sincere?"

Li Hao was unhappy when he heard this. What does it mean to be a little sincerity? Is this considered a way to ask for help? So he didn't have a good look on his face and said to Li Shimin: "Then you can only live in a woodshed."

"Ha..." Li Shimin sneered, took out a pearl the size of an egg from his arms, handed it to Li Hao, and asked, "Is this sincerity great enough?"

Li Hao's eyes suddenly shone and took them to check them carefully. The good thing, although it was a little smaller, could be at least twenty cents. He immediately smiled and his mouth opened: "I am sincere, and it is true that I am sincere. Guest, please follow me to the mansion to rest."

Tian Meng couldn't react for a moment. How could there be such a person in the world? The speed of changing faces was too fast. Li Shimin and Wang Chaosheng were relatively calm. After all, they had long heard of Li Hao's virtues.

After arriving at Li's mansion, Li Hao personally took them to the wing room to settle down and asked with a smile: "Three distinguished guests, I guess they haven't had dinner yet?"

Li Shimin had long heard that Li Hao was a foodie, and immediately became energetic and asked, "What kind of food is there in the house?"

"You're asking the right person." Li Hao immediately said with a smile, "Do you know if I opened it in Chang'an? I invented every dish there. I didn't want to brag with you. My dishes are more delicious than those in Taibai Building, and the prices are fair..."

"Wait." Li Shimin suddenly raised his hand to stop him, widened his eyes and asked, "Do you have to pay for your meal at your house?"

"Of course I have to pay!" Li Hao shouted in surprise, "Do you still want to eat for nothing?"

Li Shimin was a little annoyed: "I... I have given so much, isn't it enough for me to have a meal?"

"What you just paid was the accommodation fee." Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "You have to pay extra for your meal."

Li Shimin forced himself to hold his anger and asked, "How much do you have to give?"

"It depends on your sincerity..."

Li Shimin's mouth twitched, and it was sincerity. His hands were ready to move with the sincerity of leaving the special code. If Wang Chaosheng hadn't quietly grabbed his sleeve, he would have probably already sucked Li Hao.

Tian Meng in the rear did not dare to speak. He was very curious about why His Majesty was so popular by this bastard, and he didn't let him teach him a lesson.

In order to fill your stomach and try the delicious food, Li Shimin gave Li Hao another pearl. Li Hao hurriedly asked the kitchen to cook more than a dozen dishes and delivered them to Li Shimin's table one after another. There was also the wine brewed by Li Hao himself. The service attitude was excellent. If there was another singing and dancing to cheer him up, it would be perfect. Unfortunately, Li Hao didn't have a good bite, so the family did not prepare a dancer.

After dinner, Wang Chaosheng sat on the chair and kept burping. There was no way. The food in Li Hao's house was so delicious that he couldn't control his mouth at all. He was too lazy to even move. Tian Meng didn't dare to eat too much. His duty was to protect Li Shimin's safety. He only ate a bowl of rice in a hurry. However, looking at the delicious food on the table, he couldn't stop swallowing his saliva at all, and he was full of saliva.

Li Shimin is not a greedy person. He tasted a few bites of each dish and was only 80% full after eating. According to his past habits, he had to take a walk after dinner to help digestion. This was the advice given to him by the imperial physician. He has been insisting on implementing it for many years. Although he is not in the Tai Chi Palace now, this habit cannot be changed.

Li Shimin was going to take a walk, and Tian Meng and Wang Chaosheng naturally had to follow him. Although the courtyard of Li Hao's family was not as good as Tai Chi Palace, it was indeed not small. After all, it was the first time they came here, and it happened to be night. After walking for a while, they got lost. If they were ordinary people, they would definitely panic after getting lost, afraid of disturbing their master's house, but Li Shimin was not afraid. Even if they disturb Li Hao, what if they were wrong, I was the emperor.

The three of them were walking around Li Hao's house and finally moved to the gate of the inner courtyard. At this moment, Li Hao was talking to Qin Su at the gate of the inner courtyard. Qin Su said: "Young Master, I want to teach Mrs. Ru to learn poetry. You have outstanding poetry and prose, can you recite one?"

Li Hao said indifferently: "That's just a little thing, what kind of poetry do you want?"

Qin Su thought for a while, pointed to the bright moon in the sky and said, "Let's use the moon as the topic."

"Okay." Li Hao frowned and pondered for a moment, then looked up and said, "The moonlight is bright late at night, and it is suspected to be frost on the ground. He looked up at the bright moon and thought of his hometown."

After reciting a poem "Silent Night Poem", Qin Su's eyes were both worshipping and worshipping. Even Li Shimin was shocked. Unexpectedly, Li Hao was so talented that he actually wrote a poem. Moreover, this poem has a sense of artistic conception and expresses his homesickness. The most rare thing is that this poem does not use any difficult and obscure words and is easy to understand. Even those who have never read books can understand the general idea. Poetry is not that the more gorgeous the rhetoric, the better. Looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, who can do it?

The song "Quiet Night Thoughts" reminded Li Hao of his hometown far away in the future world, where there is the person he missed the most. If you think about it carefully, you have not talked to your brother on WeChat for many years.

"Young Master, Young Master!" Qin Su was stunned when he saw him, and called him twice before awakening Li Hao from his homesickness.

Li Hao smiled indifferently: "I'm rude, I'm a little distracted just now."

Qin Su said embarrassedly: "Does the young master remember his hometown and his parents?"

Li Hao sighed lightly and nodded. Seeing that he looked depressed, Qin Su comforted him: "Actually, Su'er, like the young master, has lost both parents since childhood."

Li Hao smiled bitterly and said, "Then we are... all the people who have fallen into the world."

"Are they both fallen into the world?" Qin Su sang softly and said happily, "This seems to be a good poem."

Li Hao smiled and shook his head, and he turned around and wanted to leave.

"Young Master!" Qin Su called him and asked, "Will you not go to Mrs. Ru's place to spend the night?"

"No." Li Hao replied lightly, turned around and left. Not far away, he saw Li Shimin and Wang Chaosheng standing behind the banana tree. He couldn't help but be stunned and frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"

Li Shimin was so embarrassed. Even if he was the emperor, it would be a shame to break into the inner courtyard of his minister's family. Although he had not entered yet, it was almost done.

Wang Chaosheng hurriedly explained: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Li, we went out for a walk and couldn't find the way back."

"What?" Li Hao said in surprise, "Are you lost?"

Li Shimin coughed dryly and said slowly: "Since you have met Mr. Li, why not let's talk about it."

"Talk a chat?" Li Hao was stunned when he heard this. He refused in his heart. He had nothing to talk to with these strangers. It would be better to go back to sleep if he wasted time. However... if he had money, it would be a different matter. So he started to laugh again, rubbing his fingers, "It's very expensive to chat with me."

"This also requires money?" Li Shimin and Wang Chaosheng exclaimed in unison. Tian Meng looked at Li Hao as if he was looking at a monster, thinking to himself, "Don't Your Majesty plan to punish him?"

Li Hao shrugged and spread his hands: "Since you don't want to give money, goodbye!" After that, he was about to bye around them.

Li Shimin reached out to stop him, holding a pearl in his hand, which was bigger than the two before. Li Hao's eyes lit up, raised his orchid finger, held the pearl in his hand, and put it in his arms very skillfully. At the same time, he showed his face-changing skills and said flatteringly: "Dear guest, if you want to talk about something, you will definitely know everything and say everything."

Pilgrimage:...

Tian Meng:...

Li Shimin resisted the urge to suck Li Hao, looked around, and said, "This is not a place to speak. What quiet place does your mansion have?"

Li Hao thought for a while and waved, "Follow me." After saying that, he took the lead and took them to the backyard.

There is an artificial lake in the backyard garden, and there is a pavilion called Bibo Pavilion in the middle of the lake. Li Hao took them into Bibo Pavilion, and asked Du Hong to brew three cups of tea, bring two snacks, and then said with a smile: "Since you have paid a lot of money, I have to chat with you all the time. Look at this place, the environment is quiet, the breeze is blowing, it is extremely cool, and there are fragrant tea and snacks. Do you think it is worth the money?" After he said that, his eyebrows were raised, as if he was trying his best to prove that he was not a profiteer, but a very conscientious businessman.

Li Shimin looked at the surrounding environment and it was really good. The evening breeze was cool, and there were also fragrant tea and snacks. Li Hao’s service here was definitely the best in the Tang Dynasty. He couldn’t help but laugh and scold Li Hao: “You little... young man, you really know how to make money.”

"Go awarded, get awarded." Li Hao raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "Actually, I know why you are chatting with me."

"Oh?" Wang Chaosheng and Li Shimin were both stunned when they heard this. Could it be that Li Hao had already seen their identities?
