Chapter Eighty-Nine: You Can Be the Picture in the Future
Yu Chi Baolin is rich, and all teenagers know it.
After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he rewarded meritorious officials.
Wei Chigong was even rewarded to the entire Qi Palace.
Even all the gold, silver and jewels in the Qi Palace's mansion were given to Yu Chigong.
Several teenagers with the surname Qiwang gathered together and whispered.
Although they have a big family, they don't dare to lose their family without permission.
Since the beginning of the previous dynasty, that is, since the imperial examination, their parents have been engaged in this kind of livelihood.
Once a year, you can always make a big profit.
After some deliberation, everyone finally accepted the bet of Changsun Chong, Cheng Chumo and others.
When Lee tried to overbet, they refused.
"This little brother, these odds are sky-high odds, and you can bet a maximum of one hundred taels of gold."
Li Gen had no choice but to spread his hands helplessly.
Like the six sworn brothers, they also bet a hundred taels of gold.
The other party writes the contract and both parties sign it.
So there is a minimum guarantee.
Li Gen put away the contract and turned to leave, and Cheng Chumo and the others followed.
Behind him, there was a snickering of the five surnamed Qiwang and the children.
In their hearts, the seven hundred taels of gold had been securely put into their money bags.
"Seventh brother, let's go to the restaurant to celebrate, and congratulate the seventh brother on the title of the gold list in advance."
Chu Mo hooked up with Li Gen's shoulder and said with a smile.
As for the betting, none of them took it to heart.
Nowadays, several shops and restaurants have a lot of daily dividends.
A hundred taels of gold is really nothing.
"Brother Chumo, let's wait a minute, the seventh brother just met a brother in the examination room."
"If it weren't for him, the seventh brother would almost not be able to find a place, so I told him that we would go to the restaurant to eat and drink together."
After listening to Li Gen's words, Cheng Chumo said very frankly.
"Hey, helping the seventh brother is equivalent to helping a few of our brothers, brothers, don't you say?"
Eldest Sun Chong, Fang Yiai, Du He and others all nodded in agreement.
While speaking, Ma Zhou walked out of the door.
"Big Brother Ma."
Li Gen waved his hands enthusiastically.
Ma Zhou walked over.
"Brother Ma, let's go have a drink together, don't you mind? When I get to Fugen Restaurant, I'll introduce you to a few more of them. ”
"Brother Li Gen, are you sure you want to go to Fugen Restaurant? I can't afford it, and besides, I can't get into that kind of place, which needs to be booked in advance. ”
When Ma Zhou heard that it was Fugen Restaurant, the corners of his mouth twitched vigorously.
Even his friend Zhonglang Jiang Chang He wanted to go to Fugen Restaurant day and night to feast on his mouth.
"Brother Ma, it's okay, we have a VIP card, no need to book in advance, I'll be a treat today."
"In this way, Ma Zhou can be regarded as a blessing today, since the little brother is so refreshing, I will naturally accompany Ma Zhou!"
The eight rode out of the imperial city.
Turn left out of the Suzaku Gate, go all the way to the east, pass through Shengye Fang, Pingkang Fang, and go 100 steps ahead to arrive in front of Fugen Restaurant.
Zhao Si and Feng Wu, who were at the door, suddenly found that the young master was coming.
Immediately hurried to greet him.
"This is Ben Gongzi's VIP card, no need to make a reservation, right?"
When Li Gen saw Zhao Si and Feng Wu coming out, he immediately rushed ahead of them and spoke.
Zhao Si and Feng Wu are both very clever people, and they saw Ma Zhou beside the young master.
I immediately understood what the young master meant.
This is because I don't want the young master to be around this person, knowing that he is the owner of this restaurant.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please come in, those who hold the VIP card of our store naturally do not need to make reservations and queue up."
Zhao Si bowed down and invited everyone into the restaurant.
Feng Wu quickly returned to the restaurant and informed Red Sleeves and Tian Xiang, as well as a cadre from the restaurant.
Don't reveal the identity of the young master.
Cheng Chumo, Changsun Chong and others can also be regarded as seeing it.
The seventh brother didn't want to be frightened, the brother he just met.
So deliberately low-key concealment of identity.
"Brother Childe, this table is the closest to the window and the brightest position, what does Childe think?"
"Well, that's it!"
Li Gen nodded with satisfaction and said.
"Tell the shopkeeper, all the dishes are served again, good tea and good wine, just serve them."
"Well, ladies and gentlemen, please wait a minute."
Red sleeves and incense, smiling all over their faces, came with teapots and wine jugs.
Because of Fugen Restaurant, there is no rule for pouring tea and wine for guests.
Cheng Chumo gave a look, and Yu Chi Baolin and Qin Huaidao poured tea and wine alone.
Don't look at Cheng Chumo's stupid head, Yu Chi Baolin and Qin Huaidao especially like to listen to Cheng Chumo's instructions.
The rich aroma of tea made Ma Zhou sniffle hard.
"Brother Ma, come, while the dishes haven't come up yet, let's drink tea first!"
Li Gen said very understandingly.
"Good tea! It's really a good tea! ”
Ma Zhou's eyes narrowed happily.
"Spicy fried bean sprouts!"
"A pot of stewed mutton!"
"A portion of spicy fried chicken!"
"A plate of fried lamb tripe!"
"Our restaurant's new signature dish today, a braised pork!"
With the restaurant guy shouting.
A series of delicious dishes with all colors and aromas soon filled a large table.
Li Gen took this opportunity to introduce the eldest grandson Chong, Cheng Chumo, Fang Yiai and others to Ma Zhou one by one.
Every time someone was introduced, Ma Zhou chuckled in his heart.
These are the sons and daughters of the most powerful members of the dynasty!
Looking at the expressions of the six of them, the identity of this person named Li Gen is even more difficult.
And why did he still participate in the imperial examination?
Just when Ma Zhou had all kinds of doubts in his heart, a voice sounded.
"Brother Ma, come, raise your glass, drink this glass, we are friends."
Li Gen picked up his wine glass and said with a smile.
"Li Gongzi, Ma Zhou's status is low, thanks to Gongzi's affordability, Ma Zhou is grateful, but because of his identity, this friend, Ma Zhou doesn't dare to climb high!"
"Brother Ma, what you said, my brother really doesn't like to hear it. What climbs high or not? If I also have such an idea as you, I can have these six sworn brothers, the six uncles are all members of the court, and my father is just a seven-grade county order! ”
"Brother Ma, you are full of heaven and enjoy official luck, although you failed in the imperial examination this time, you will definitely worship the prime minister in the future!"
Li Gen's words surprised everyone!
"Li Gongzi, it's a joke. I can't even pass the imperial examination, how can He De worship the prime minister. ”
Li Gen noticed the different colors on the faces of Changsun Chong and the others, and knew that he was quick to talk for a while, and said that he was bald.
"Hahahaha, just kidding, but Brother Ma is definitely a blessed man, you friend, I'm done."
"Okay, since Gongzi Li doesn't dislike my humble status, Ma Zhou recognizes you as a friend."
Ma Zhou picked up the wine glass, raised his head and drank it all!
"Okay, Brother Ma is really refreshing!"
Li Gen also raised his head and drank it all!
"Brother Ma, try this braised pork, it tastes very good."
When Ma Zhou heard this, he was stunned for a moment.
The guy who just served the dish obviously reminded him that this braised pork is a new dish today.
And, Li Gen actually knew that this dish tasted very good!
