Otherwise, Cheng Yaojin would be said to be smart!

At this point in time, it would be best to extort money from him in the name of Li Er.

"Well... Duke Lu, could you please take your hand away first? I'm not used to it."

"oh……"

Cheng Yaojin laughed out loud and quickly took his hand away.

But the pair of bull eyes were still staring at Zhuang Zhou.

Looks like I have to bleed again!

"Okay then! I'll go get two bottles of good wine from the shop."

I think I've been tired for a while recently.

Just have a couple of drinks tonight.

Cheng Yaojin laughed:

"You won't have to go there yourself."

After saying this, he shouted to the mansion:

"Get out of here, you bastard."

Soon, a young man ran out.

He is handsome, but a little thin.

But judging from his facial features, he looks like Cheng Yaojin.

It seems that this person should be Cheng Chumo's younger brother Cheng Chuliang.

I learned a little about it when I studied history before.

Cheng Yaojin glared and asked:

"Where's your eldest brother?"

"I went to the palace to look for the prince early in the morning."

Cheng Yaojin said nothing more and directly ordered:

"Go to Zhuangji Grocery Store and get a few bottles of good wine. Do you know what a good wine bar is?"

Cheng Chuliang pursed his lips and said:

"Just Tang Chun!"

Cheng Yaojin nodded with great satisfaction upon hearing this:

"That's good to know. Go quickly and come back quickly."

Cheng Chuliang responded and went to get the wine.

"Brother Zhuang, let's have a few drinks tonight. I just bought a batch of singing girls from the Western Regions. When you leave, you can pick two to take with you."

“…”

Is this a gift?

I also picked two to take away.

Zhuang Zhou just thought it was a casual remark and didn't take it seriously.

Followed Cheng Yaojin into the banquet hall.

There were more than a dozen singing girls in such a large hall.

Each of them is a beautiful exotic woman.

This enchanting figure is fascinating.

Especially the dancing posture is unique.

Cheerful rhythm and graceful dance moves.

This aristocrat is an aristocrat, he really knows how to have fun.

"Duke Lu, this is really too generous, isn't it?"

Zhuang Zhou sighed.

Cheng Yaojin laughed heartily:

"It's just a small amount of money. As long as you can serve His Majesty, it won't matter."

Zhuang Zhou nodded and said nothing more.

Soon, Cheng Chuliang came back with three bottles of Datangchun.

Cheng Yaojin personally poured wine for everyone, and then everyone raised their glasses to drink.

The wine enters the throat with a mellow and sweet taste, and a long aftertaste.

It’s really a good wine.

More than thirty drinks.

Seeing that they had almost finished eating and drinking, Cheng Yaojin wanted to pour some wine for Li Er.

But was rejected.

"I'm going to try horseshoes later, so I must not get drunk."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. You know how much I can drink."

Li Erbai glanced and said:

"Who said that we should only drink Coke from now on?"

Cheng Yaojin smiled innocently:

"Your Majesty, please don't blame me. I'll just have one more drink."

As he said this, he filled his own glass with wine and took a sip with great pleasure.

Li Er knew Cheng Yaojin's character, and it was commendable that he could restrain himself when seeing good wine.

I ignored him and looked at Zhuang Zhou and asked:

"I heard that you were building a house at the foot of Mount Li. Why didn't you come to me for help?"

Zhuang Zhou was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Li Er to suddenly ask this question.

But he didn't think much about it and answered directly:

“I did want to ask Your Majesty for help.

But considering that these things are just starting out and are not mature yet, they need to be promoted first.

I'm afraid of messing things up and letting you down.

Besides, I can't always rely on you for everything!

I thought that if I could achieve something, I would be worthy of your reward."

Zhuang Zhou's words made everyone present feel comfortable.

This attitude doesn't seem to be fake.

It is completely obvious that he truly wants to develop in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Er was even happier about this.

I was originally thinking about how to keep Zhuang Zhou here!

He even thought about marrying his daughter off.

"You kid, your words are pleasant to the ears."

Li Er was obviously very satisfied.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yaojin took the opportunity to flatter:

"Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty is blessed to have a talent like Zhuang Zhou.

It is indeed Your Majesty's kindness!"

Li Er burst into laughter.

Zhuang Zhou just smiled faintly and didn't respond.

Just drink in silence.

Cheng Yaojin didn't seem to expect Zhuang Zhou's answer and continued:

"Your Majesty has been diligently working to govern the country since ascending the throne. We, as your subjects, must share your worries!"

All right!

This has become a banquet for Cheng Yaojin to flatter.

But it is said that the saint personally came to the mansion to drink.

It is a great honor.

Of course, Cheng Yaojin would not miss such a good opportunity to flatter.

The three of them took another sip, and Li Er suddenly asked:

"Zhuang Zhou, have you ever thought about this?

If one day I appoint you to fully implement the Tang Dynasty's transformation plan, what will you do?"

Zhuang Zhou was slightly stunned. He didn't expect to be asked this question suddenly.

But he didn't think much about it and answered directly:

"I will do my best to seek benefits for the people of the Tang Dynasty and relieve Your Majesty's worries."

Li Er laughed loudly and said:

"Okay, I feel relieved with your words.

Come, drink this cup to the fullest."

The two clinked their glasses again and drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing this, Cheng Yaojin suddenly stood up and said to Li Er:

"Your Majesty, it's rare for you to be so happy. Why don't we have a good drink?"
