East Market, in front of the Quirky Pavilion.

When Li Tai saw someone standing up and admitting it, he turned his eyes to Li Zexuan and asked proudly: "Is "Journey to the West" written by you?" ”

Li Zexuan was a little puzzled about what happened to "Journey to the West", but he still nodded and admitted:

""Journey to the West" is indeed written by me, I don't know what Your Highness means by this?"

"Well, I'm here to find you, there's a good errand here, this king recruited you to be a guest of the palace, and you will write a story like "Journey to the West" for this king in the future, with a monthly salary of 20 yuan, how about it? It's a lot more promising than opening this shabby store. ”

Li Tai said with a superior and triumphant face, in his opinion, this broken shop in front of him can earn more than ten yuan a month, how can there be a special moisturizer for him to write stories. He is not like Li Chengqian's poor man, Li Er and his eldest grandson have always been very fond of him, and he is rewarded a lot every month, so he has the money to support his customers.

Cheng Chumo was speechless when he listened to it, although he did not directly participate in the operation today, but he saw everything in his eyes, this Wonder Pavilion has more than 100 yuan of daily accounts, excluding costs, how can there be forty or fifty percent of profits, he really doesn't know where Li Tai got his confidence.

Li Zexuan looked at the little fat man who showed off his wealth and superiority in front of him, and the corners of his mouth twitched, he wanted to say to Li Tai, I will give you forty times a month, I just ask you not to bother me again, okay? After thinking about it, this was a bit too hurtful, and it was estimated that Li Tai would jump to his feet, so he didn't say it. Li Zexuan could only say euphemistically:

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint His Highness, the little ones are scattered, they just want to stay at home and open a store, and they have no intention of being a guest in the palace."

Li Taizheng was standing there proudly waiting for him to agree, but he didn't expect to wait for Li Zexuan to refuse without hesitation, he was extremely annoyed in his heart, and secretly said that this kid really doesn't know how to lift, Li Tai, who has been smooth sailing since childhood, has a little unbearable on his face at the moment, and he said with an ugly face:

"Are you sure?"

Li Zexuan knew that this little fat man was going to be angry, but he was sure that Li Tai didn't dare to do anything to him, he was doing a legitimate business, and he didn't do anything like stealing chickens and touching dogs, the rule of officials in the early Tang Dynasty was relatively clear, and he was not afraid that he would use his identity to announce personal vendettas, and Cheng Chumo was still standing next to him, he was not vain.

Li Zexuan nodded affirmatively: "I'm sure!" ”

Li Tai laughed angrily when he heard this: "Okay, very good, do you think this king can't do anything with you?" This king heard that you and Yan Shaoning, the son of Yan Shangshu, have a workshop, and the craftsmen in it were all from the generals before, and you said, if this king goes to ask his father to reward those craftsmen to me, do you think my father will agree? ”

"You..." Cheng Chumo was angry when he heard this, and was about to step forward to theorize, Li Zexuan hurriedly pulled him back, Cheng Chumo had already helped him enough, and the rest of the things could no longer drag Cheng Chumo into the water.

What Li Tai just said, it did pinch the weakness of the Wonder Pavilion, the status of craftsmen in this era is very low, Li Er will not refuse Li Tai's plea because of a group of craftsmen, and the foundation of the Wonder Pavilion will be shaken at that time, even though Li Zexuan has countless inventions that can make money in his head, but without craftsmen, it can't be done, everything is in vain, the Wonder Pavilion will be very important in the future, Li Zexuan will never allow this kind of thing to happen, this little fat man's trick is really ruthless.

Li Zexuan's mind changed sharply, since the hard one can't work, then he can only come to the soft one. This King of Wei made things difficult for him today just because of a copy of "Journey to the West", it can be seen that he is more or less still a little childish, and it is said that Li Tai is full of talent and is extremely arrogant, Li Zexuan suddenly had a plan, and said with a smile:

"I can go and write a book for His Highness, but I have heard that His Highness is knowledgeable, and he is proficient in calligraphy, painting, scriptures, and arithmetic, so I wonder if His Highness can answer a few questions from Xiaomin?"

Li Tai heard Li Zexuan praise him as a flower, and a trace of smugness flashed on his face. This is where he Li Tai is better than the prince, full of talent, so Li Er is quite fond of him. When he heard Li Zexuan ask him to answer the question, Li Tai frowned, even though he was only eight years old, but the ghost knew what questions Li Zexuan would ask, he was not stupid, why should he agree, now that he has an absolute advantage, there is really no need to make extraneous branches.

"Why does this king want to answer your question?" Li Tai looked arrogant.

This little fat man is not very old, he is quite smart, Li Zexuan had already guessed that he would not agree so easily, and said with a smile:

"If His Highness insists on forcing me to write a story, even if I do, it will definitely not be as exciting as "Journey to the West", and His Highness will not enjoy watching it. It's better to ask ten questions, as long as His Highness can answer one of them, I am willing to write a book for His Highness for three years, without any salary, and the story I write is more exciting than "Journey to the West". But if His Royal Highness King Wei can't answer, please ask His Royal Highness King Wei not to come to the Wonder Pavilion again in the future, how about it? ”

Contempt, this is naked contempt, even if Li Tai knew in his heart that Li Zexuan's question would definitely be extremely difficult, but he was conceited and talented, how could he not answer even one of the ten questions, Li Zexuan successfully angered him. And what Li Zexuan said in the first half of the paragraph is indeed true, even if he uses his power to coerce Li Zexuan to write a story for him, but if Li Zexuan is unwilling, the story he writes will definitely not be good-looking, then everything he does is meaningless.

"Okay, then it's a word, if you lose, you have to write a good story for this king for three years. But your question must have an answer, or it won't count. ”

Although Li Tai was enraged, he still retained the most basic reason, if Li Zexuan asked questions that had no answers at all, such as how many hairs on someone's head and so on, how could he answer them.

Hey, this little fat man doesn't know if the road is one foot high, the magic is one foot high, or it's too tender. Li Zexuan simply nodded and agreed:

"Of course, how dare Xiaomin maliciously make things difficult for His Highness."

Lan'er pulled Li Zexuan's arm worriedly at this time, Li Zexuan smiled at her, shook his head, and said that it was okay, let her not worry. He, a person who has experienced the era of information explosion in the 21st century, just looks for a few questions that are out of the way, and he doesn't believe that this little fat man can answer them!

Li Tai nodded with satisfaction, beckoned the guards behind him, and brought him a stool, after standing for so long, he was a little tired, he sat on the stool beautifully, raised his chin at Li Zexuan, and said:

"In that case, if you have any questions, hurry up and ask, this king is in a hurry for you to write me a story, haha!"

Li Tai won the ticket, confident that he would not lose, and he was a little happy when he thought that he would be able to see a better story than "Journey to the West" in the future.

It's just that he didn't expect that he was about to be abused in doubtful life.
