Chapter 119 Surprise

When he glanced at Zhao Shi and Old Li came in, Qi Ziping immediately stopped and picked up a towel from the person serving beside him and wiped his face. Then he quickly came to meet him, "Old Li, brother got up so early, I still think that you can come here after a while. Come on, invite someone inside, and have tea."

Mr. Li had already turned his face and his voice came up. He laughed and said, "I said Ziping, you are not practicing the Five Animals Play well? How about it? Learn from me with a master? I also have a set of swordsmanship here. Only by carrying a piano and sword can you show the true nature of a famous scholar."

While letting the two of them into the house, Qi Ziping smiled and said, "I am plagued by mundane things here, but I can't learn the style of Qinglian lay Buddhist." Speaking of this, he turned to look at Zhao Shi and said, "The first time I came to my house, I knew I was good wine. I still had a jar of reeds hidden here. It was as strong as fire, and it was like a knife. It was praised by the prince a few days ago. I thought it was too strong, so I hid it. I thought it would like to have something I should like, let's try it together."

"We are not here to ask for wine, but since you have said it, if we don't taste it, wouldn't we be sorry for your kindness? But for such good wine, you can't eat it carelessly..."

After hearing what he said, Qi Ziping suddenly felt something, shook his head and laughed, "I said, it turns out that Mr. Li is thinking about Neizi's craftsmanship again, but I have to wait, I'm afraid that Neizi hasn't taken action for a long time and will have some handicrafts..."

"Not afraid, no fear, even if the burn is bad, it is better than the one I made at home..."

While talking and laughing, several people had already entered the outer hall and the guest and the host sat down. The servant immediately sent the fragrant tea. Qi Ziping was probably a little thirsty and immediately took a sip. However, when he saw Zhao Shidong, he couldn't help but burst into laughter. Old Li held the tea bowl and was about to enter his mouth. He was stunned when he heard his laughter. Then he saw Zhao Shi's appearance. He couldn't help laughing.

"Now my friend's reputation in the King of Jing's Mansion has spread. Just one word of tea is worse than wine can probably make many people who are good at wine treat it as confidants. What is passed on from time to time may become a good story."

Zhao Shi shook his head, "There is nothing to say about literati and the wine of martial artists. I heard from people in the military camp. Drinking after the battle formation can stimulate the human body's energy. If you drink it with the blood on the battlefield, it will not only prolong life, but also prevent all evil."

When he heard what he said, Old Li's face turned dark. What happened to this kid? Did he think so? He said it well and he was bleeding. He led the head to the head. This morning, can he let people eat?

Qi Ziping was already used to Zhao Shi's way of speaking, but he also felt that he shouldn't have taken out the treasured wine. After hearing this, he felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach and stopped drinking tea. He stood up and said, "I'll tell Neizi and let her start preparing immediately. Wait."

This time, Zhao Shidao was not purely trying to disgust them, but this was from Li Fei's mouth, and he didn't say any lies.

After a while, Qi Ziping turned around and saw Mr. Li's bitter face, which was not as cheerful as before. He couldn't help but smile. Mr. Li has always had a good reputation in the mansion. He doesn't show any airs to anyone. He is also an old man in the mansion, and he has to give up three points when he sees him. He has also studied, and even talks with his aides. This is the first time he saw him like he had eaten a few taels of coptis chinensis. However, he and Wang Hu both tasted it. Even when he was a prince, he didn't smile bitterly when he was in Gongyi County. At this time, it seemed that there was nothing strange.

Although I laughed secretly in my heart, I didn't want to touch Mr. Li's bad head. I looked at Zhao Shi and said, "The prince went to the Yang Mansion this morning, but before leaving, I said that I will temporarily take charge of the guards in the mansion, including Wang Hu and Du Shanhu as your deputy. Then, let Wang Hu introduce you to the guards in the mansion to you.

And the military soldiers under your command are temporarily assigned to the palace for escorts, but I have to take them a close eye. Chang'an is at the foot of the emperor, and it is difficult to deal with it if you cause trouble."

Seeing Zhao Shi nodding, he continued, "The other one is the matter of the little prince. I guess I will be able to come back from the palace in the next two days. The prince said that he would let you discipline the little prince well. The queen and the prince did not interfere, so that you can rest assured. But brother... I have to tell you here that my identity is still alive. Even if there is anything wrong with the little prince, you can just say whatever reason, but there is one, you can't hurt the little prince..."

He could no longer say this, but in fact he had already calculated that he had done his best. After all, he could not directly say anything about the prince's words. You can only listen to three points. The remaining seven points are something he could do. However, seeing Zhao Shi's expression not moving for a moment, he sighed in his heart. Everyone has their own fate and cannot be forced. However, the young man in front of him is not a fool. I believe he has understood what he meant. As for whether Zhao Shi can do what he meant, he is not sure at all.

"Your Majesty means, you are going around Chang'an City in the past two days, and you are not in a hurry to have the errands in the mansion. For my brother, there are no major things here, but there are many trivial matters, so I can't accompany you to Chang'an. However, with Mr. Li, I believe that I can also make my brother enjoy the fun. Also, are those four maids still satisfied?

These are all people who have just entered the mansion, and the Empress personally chose them. The Prince and Empress both value their brother very much. They should know each other in their hearts, so they should not let the Prince and Empress down…”

He told the story here, like to his brothers and nephews, his tone was calm and earnest, and he was not artificial, which sounded so comfortable. Zhao Shi knew that this man was very honest, and after he was drunk, he even said something to him. He said nothing but doing more. The right thing is to say a gentleman. Since Zhao Shi met him, he has never bullied others. He kept his duty in his words and did things. He can be said to be a person who has practiced himself.

This earnest warning is much better than Mr. Li pretending to be generous just now.

After about half an hour, the wine and food were ready, and the table was set up above the main hall. The three of them sat in a group. A servant carried a wine jar in. The outside of the wine jar was mottled, and it seemed that it had been a while. Qi Ziping smiled and patted the mud seal. A strong aroma of wine scented in the room. Mr. Li shook his nose and shouted loudly, "It's really good wine."

While asking his servant to pour the wine into the wine pot, Qi Ziping smiled and said, "This wine has been in the hands of the prince for some time. I have been hiding it here for two years. I have tasted a glass of the ground, but the wine is too strong and not to my taste.

I am afraid that drinking such strong wine in the morning is not in line with the health preservation method. However, I drank so much good wine in Gongyi County. If I got here and didn’t have decent wine to entertain, I wouldn’t be laughed at by my brother?

Mr. Li, I heard what your Ziyi said. You have a headache these days. The doctor said it is not appropriate to drink. Look..."

"Don't listen to that boy's nonsense. How many days can the old man miss his boss after living at such an old age? Such a good wine is in front of him but he can't drink it. Why don't you take it out? Come and pour it on quickly. Just be happy in time and be true."

Seeing him like this, Qi Ziping shook his head and smiled, filling the two of them one by one. The light yellow wine looked very attractive. At this time, Qi Ziping raised his glass and said, "Wine for a close friend, come, let's have this glass."

As soon as the wine was in my mouth, Zhao Shi knew that the wine was indeed much higher than the ones I had drunk before, but the wine was still much worse than the height of later generations. The wine went down the throat and after a slight sting, a heat came back from the stomach, which made him feel refreshed.

Li Laoha smelled a sip of wine, picked up the chopsticks and picked a slice of melon into his mouth, "Good wine and delicious food, it's rare to enjoy."

Zhao Shi became determined to let the old man have a better life today, and then said, "Does Mr. Li know how to go to the mansion of the Censor Zhou?"

Before Mr. Li could swallow the melon slices in his mouth, he almost choked when he asked. He quickly picked up the teacup and took a sip of water. Then he said angrily: "Why are you asking this?"

"My elder brother entered the palace at Lord Zhou. He didn't know the news that I came to Chang'an. Anyway, there is nothing wrong now, so I have to go and see him."

"Your brother?" Qi Ziping was surprised. He had been in Gongyi County for so long, but he had never heard of him having a big brother. Then he thought that he probably wasn't a relative, but he could enter the palace of the Censor Zhou Lu's Mansion. I don't think anyone could do it. He didn't expect that he had such a relative, and he was very strict with his words.
