The Iron Donkey passed through the bustling East Market.
It attracted curious glances from passers-by.
Li Er looked at the streets of Chang'an City and sighed in his heart.
It is only the seventh year of Zhenguan, and the speed of Tang Dynasty's development has already surprised him as the emperor.
However.
He knew that this was far from enough.
He wanted every citizen of the Tang Dynasty to have enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear.
This is his long-cherished wish as an emperor!
Not long.
The iron donkey stopped at the door of Zhuang Zhou's mansion.
Li Er got off the car, feeling very emotional:
"My dear brother, your Iron Donkey is really convenient and fast, much better than my Marco."
Zhuang Zhou got off the motorcycle and responded:
"Brother Qin, this iron donkey is much easier to ride than a horse.
Not only can it run fast, but it is also labor-saving and convenient.
It just takes more practice to drive it.”
Li Er fully agreed, even though he was an expert on riding horses.
I know in my heart that I am afraid I will not be able to control this iron donkey.
"My dear brother, after experiencing this Iron Donkey today, I am even more curious about the Immortal Master you mentioned.
I wonder when I will have the honor to meet you?"
After all, there are still some doubts about Zhuang Zhou's background.
Zhuang Zhou smiled slightly and said:
“Brother Qin, the fate of becoming an immortal master can only be encountered by chance, not sought after.
If there is an opportunity in the future, you may want to visit again."
Li Er nodded in agreement, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
"Brother Qin, let's go! Let's talk inside the mansion."
"good!"
Li Er looked up and saw the plaque above the door with his own inscription.
I have to say, the handwriting is really beautiful.
At this moment.
A little head popped out, it was the little Wu Zhao.
When he saw it was Zhuang Zhou, he ran out.
Cheered and said:
"Big brother, you're back?"
Zhuang Zhou hummed, and then heard Li Er frowning and asking:
"Brother, who is this little sister?"
Zhuang Zhou said:
"Her name is Wu Zhao. She was a miserable child."
Then Zhuang Zhou told Wu Zhao's life story and the story between her and her mother Yang.
Finally said:
"Who would have thought that as soon as Duke Ying died, the two brothers Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang took over all the property.
He also drove the mother and daughter out of the mansion.
I just happened to run into them, and seeing that the mother and daughter had nowhere to go, I took them in at my mansion."
Li Er nodded, but his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang are worse than pigs and dogs.
How could he do such a thing?
You must know that Yingguogong Wu Shiyu (yuē) was a hero who contributed to the establishment of the Tang Dynasty.
He was also a good friend of Emperor Retired Emperor Li Yuan.
After Li Yuan ascended the throne, he named him the founding duke of Yiyuan County.
He was then listed as one of the seventeen "Taiyuan Yuanmou heroes" and could be spared from death once if he was guilty.
This is simply a great honor.
In the third year of Wude, Li Yuan promoted Wu Shigui to be the Minister of Works and conferred him the title of Duke.
In the ninth year of Wude, after the Xuanwu Gate Incident.
Li Er summoned Wu Shigui back to the court, rewarded him generously, treated him with great courtesy, and appointed him the governor of Yuzhou.
Later, he became the governor of Lizhou and Jingzhou.
Enough to be visible.
The position of Wu Shigui in Li Er's heart.
So when Li Er learned the news of Wu Shigui's death, he was heartbroken.
He personally issued an order to bury him with state rites, and posthumously awarded him the title of Minister of Rites and the posthumous name "Ding".
But now this is happening.
He had made a mental note of this account.
Wu Yuanqing, Wu Yuanshuang, you two brothers just wait for me!
…
Zhuang Zhou led Li Er to the backyard.
Li Er was arranged to sit down, and Yang greeted him and made him some tea.
Zhuang Zhou saw that Hongyu was not there and asked:
"Where's Hongyu?"
Yang replied:
"I went to the grocery store to stock up early this morning."
Zhuang Zhou said "oh" and said nothing more.
"Brother Qin, have some tea first. I'll go cook. It will be ready soon."
Upon hearing this, Yang immediately said:
"Sir, this is a woman's job, why bother you to cook for her?"
"What's the big deal!"
Zhuang Zhou disagreed and said:
"This whole gentleman-stay-away-from-the-kitchen thing has no use to me."
After a greeting, Zhuang Zhou went straight into the kitchen.
I took a look and there weren't any dishes that arrived quickly.
Or let’s go back to modern times and cook a few dishes!
Half an hour later.
There were about seventeen or eighteen dishes on the table.
Stir-fried lamb with green onions, Kung Pao chicken, Mapo tofu...
These are all common modern dishes.
But in this era, it is extremely rare.
Good job!
How could so many dishes be made in such a short time?
"Brother, did you do all this?"
"Ah! Come and taste it."
Li Er pursed his lips, his face full of shock.
He even thought that Zhuang Zhou was capable of magical arts.
Zhuang Zhou got another bottle of Datangchun, which is Moutai.
After the glasses were filled, the two of them took half a cup and started drinking.
hiss!
This wine is still awesome!
After three rounds of drinks.
Li Er also got drunk and said to Zhuang Zhou:
"My dear brother... I have seen countless people... but I have never seen through you...
I really admire you so much..."
Zhuang Zhou was in decent shape this time and replied modestly:
“Brother Qin, I am just a businessman. I was fortunate enough to be valued by the emperor and was granted the title of county baron.
But I always know my place, and there's nothing you should admire about me."
