Seeing Wei Han say this, Wei Qiang smiled gently at Zhao Shangshu: "Zhao Shangshu sit down." I rarely eat outside the palace on weekdays, and it is rare to be able to eat and drink with Uncle Wang and Zhao Shangshu. ”

As the crown prince, in fact, there is a lot less freedom than ordinary clans, especially in terms of making friends with important ministers of the court.

Today, because I met by chance in a wine shop, and I was accompanied by King Kaiyang, I don't have to worry about being discussed.

"Then the subordinate is better to be respectful." Zhao Shangshu arched his hand, and his beard trembled.

Wei Qiang smiled.

Zhao Shangshu was so excited, but he didn't expect it.

Since there is one more person, it is naturally to add vegetables and wine.

"Let's serve two more portions of the pot elbow." Wei Qiang liked this dish very much, and always felt that two more servings were not enough.

Zhao Shangshu had already seen the bottom of the two plates with only soup left.

With the experience of eating many times, he knew that it was specially used to hold pot elbows as soon as he looked at the shape and color of this plate.

It's over, it's all two, or two clean servings......

Zhao Shangshu said with regret: "The number of pot elbows is limited." ”

"Limited?" Hongdou, who was standing on the side, raised his voice slightly, "How can there be a limit to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Kou Er smiled and added: "Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not as convenient as other guest officials to eat. Our host said, no one can limit it to His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Wei Qiang glanced at the girl who had returned to the lobby and sat at the counter in surprise.

Is there even preferential treatment for him?

Looking at Miss Luo's attitude of not entering the oil and salt just now, he didn't expect it.

Wei Qiang retracted his gaze, looked at Wei Han, who didn't say a word, and asked, "My Uncle Wang is here, isn't it also limited?" ”

Wei Han moved his eyebrows slightly.

Hongdou didn't have the thoughtfulness to take care of the guest officer's mood, and said as a matter of course: "Of course it's limited, the prince belongs to other guest officers." ”

Wei Qiang's mood was inexplicably better, and he smiled: "Let's serve." ”

Just as they were waiting for the dishes, Qian Shangshu, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, and Lin Xijiu walked in with their front and back feet.

Seeing that the prince was also there, Qian Shangshu was taken aback and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"Qian Shangshu doesn't have to be polite, and you don't have to pay attention to these things in the wine shop."

"Yes." Qian Shangshu responded and glanced at his old friend Zhao Shangshu.

No, since he invited Zhao Shangshu to eat here, he felt that they were no longer friends.

"Zhao Shangshu is also here, this is-" Qian Shangshu stopped talking, muttering in his heart.

Zhao Shangshu must be impossible to treat, is this another rubbing rice?

Qian Shangshu felt deeply jealous, and asked deeply in his heart: They are all six Shangshu, why can Lao Zhao always get food?

Wei Qiang noticed that Qian Shangshu's eyes staring at Zhao Shangshu were a little too hot, and he explained when he was puzzled: "It's rare to meet, I will invite Uncle Wang and Zhao Shangshu to have a drink." ”

"It's really rare—" Qian Shangshu sighed with emotion, and his tone was meaningful.

What else could Wei Qiang say, he smiled and said, "Qian Shangshu together." ”

After finishing speaking, I saw Lin Saijiu walk in, so he invited him together.

"It's embarrassing to let His Highness be the east." Qian Shangshu was polite, and he had already cheered in his heart.

He saved up for a long time before gritting his teeth to eat on the day when there were grilled pot elbows sold, and he thought that he would only order a pot of pork elbows and a pot of soju.

Is this to be able to let go of the stomach to eat?

"It's rare to have a chance to get together for a drink, and Qian Shangshu doesn't have to be polite."

Qian Shangshu sat down.

Just be polite, and then excuse what if you can't eat?

He didn't mean that he had to rub the prince's meal, the key wasn't Zhao Shangshu first.

It really hurts the prince to eat, and the law does not blame the public.

"Lin Sai Jiu also sits." Treating the forest sacrificial wine full of peaches and plums, Wei Qiang's attitude was more polite.

Lin Xijiu only hesitated for a moment before sitting down.

Eat and eat, and I happened to catch up with a meal of wine, and I couldn't get him to cling to the prince.

What Wei Qiang didn't expect was that after Qian Shangshu and Lin Xijiu sat down, there were noble ministers who walked in one after another.

Can the prince put one over the other on the bright side? It has to be.

Wei Qiang actually didn't have that much money on hand.

Since entering the East Palace, he has cut off the connection with the Pingnan Palace, so naturally he can't use the property of the palace, and what he can dispose of is the prince's share.

Wei Qiang saw that the lobby was full of six tables, so let's invite them all.

A table is counted as ten taels of silver, and it is no more than a hundred taels to die.

At the beginning, Zhao Shangshu and the others were still worried that the prince couldn't eat too ruthlessly when he invited guests, but they didn't expect that today's grilled pot elbow was extraordinarily fragrant, and it was unlimited-

After eating a few elbows and drinking two small cups of soju, no one thought that it was the prince who was treating.

It's not that the prince was forced to invite it, besides, there are several rice buckets at this table, who can prove that he ate it?

Everyone thinks so, everyone lets go of their belly and eats.

Eating until the wine shop was about to close, the prince couldn't sit still.

If you don't go back, it's time for the palace gate to be locked.

He really didn't expect these ministers who usually look like Sven, steady or noble to be so able to eat!

"Ahem, I've been out for a long time, and it's time to go back. Ladies and gentlemen, continue. Wei Qiang picked up his wine glass and raised it.

Everyone put down their chopsticks one after another and saluted the prince.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your hospitality, we've already enjoyed ourselves."

If you don't go with the prince, what if you let them share the money evenly?

"Then check out." Wei Qiang smiled and ordered the red bean.

Hongdou neatly took out the bill, opened his mouth and read: "Thirty elbows in the pot, fifty plates of braised beef...... Sixty pots of shochu...... Chenghui totaled five thousand six hundred and twenty taels of silver. ”

Chenghui 5,620 taels of silver?

Wei Qiang's smile froze at the corner of his mouth, and his heartbeat almost stopped at this moment.

Did he hear it wrong?

"Is Your Highness a cash settlement, or an account?" Red Bean asked intimately.

Wei Qiang's face darkened.

What is the cash settlement, what is the bookkeeping, let's talk about the five thousand six hundred and twenty taels first!

He slowly looked around the lobby.

Zhao Shangshu and the others smiled lightly on their faces.

Don't panic, you have to let the prince understand that the price of this wine shop is like this.

They have long been accustomed to it, and they have long been dismissive, and they definitely don't eat it when someone treats them.

Wei Qiang was at a loss for a moment when he saw that everyone's faces did not change.

Could it be that it is really five thousand six hundred and twenty taels?

"Your Highness?"

Wei Qiang barely controlled his emotions and forced a smile: "The pricing of your store is more expensive than I expected." ”

The red bean pouted: "That is the first time His Highness has come to eat." If you don't believe it, ask these old customers, everyone knows what the price of our wine shop is. ”

Wei Qiang glanced at everyone again.

Everyone nodded in unison.

That's right, they all know.

The thief is expensive, the thief is delicious......

After being silent for a while, Wei Qiang gritted his teeth and spit out two words: "Bookkeeping." ”

"Okay." Hongdou slapped the bill, and suddenly remembered an important matter, "Oh, His Royal Highness lives in the East Palace, how can he collect the bill?" ”

A faint voice came: "It's okay, I'll go back to visit the crown princess, and I just brought the bill over." ”
