Chapter 113: The new guy at the inn, Gao Ming
Knowing that the daughter was soft on the outside and strong on the inside, Li Er then changed the subject and persuaded warmly again: "I didn't know about it, but I knew it as soon as the child came. What's the point of saying you are a poor boy? The poor family sold houses. The child grew up so old, have you eaten meat once?"
The princess said in tears: "My daughter doesn't want his wealth, she only wants him as a person. No matter how poor he is, he is always good to me. No matter what, he is the husband he chose, and he will not regret whether he is right or wrong. Even if he eats vegetables with him, his daughter is willing to do so."
"Okay, you are willing to eat braised vegetables and your father doesn't care about it.
But as a father, I, Li Shimin, don't want to watch my daughter eat braised vegetables, so even if you hate me for the rest of your life, you have no discussion on this matter, that boy won't do it." Li Er couldn't help but raise his voice, and the words were filled with a bit of fatherly love, which touched the princess a little.
"Father, don't stop your daughter. Our children are so old. If a daughter remarries others, wouldn't it be a shame for our royal family? Will the people in the world laugh at our Tang Dynasty princesses who dislike the poor and love the rich but are not aware of their wife?"
Li Er stepped forward and pulled up his daughter and said bitterly: "Silly child, do you think the other party is good? He has fallen in love with someone else in less than three months. Do you think such a person is worth entrusting? Now maybe both parties have even changed their marriage letters. Is it meaningful to think about going back?"
I... the princess was choked and could only bit her lips with tears in her eyes and lower her head weakly.
"Don't worry, the one who asked you to marry is your cousin. He can wait for you for five years to prove that he is sincere to you. There will be no criticism from you. If it were someone else, how could the father feel at ease?
When getting married, you have to pay attention to a good match. That poor boy is a scumbag. Let’s not mention him. I will be angry when I mention him. I can’t stick to the wall. I still want to let him study at the Imperial College for a rising talent and contribute to the country. He is better. He doesn’t know how to make progress, but he is also fond of the old and old. If it weren’t for his father, could I let him live to this day?”
Okay, Li Er's face changed so quickly. Just now, the father and daughter were still fighting and scolding each other. In a blink of an eye, Li Er became a gentle and kind father. He said and did everything for his daughter. The princess who didn't know the truth almost made him confused.
This top politician in the Tang Dynasty was indeed extraordinary. If this matter was done, it would be done with public affairs and private affairs together, with the best of both worlds.
"Father, thank you for your concern for your child, but now you have no intention of getting married. I hope your father will not force you. I have offended you before. I have offended you before. I will apologize to you."
Sighing, Li Er comforted: "Okay, let this go first. You have to pay attention to your health. Don't think too much about that scumbag. We have nothing to do with him. Let's wait until your mother comes back before discussing other things."
I don’t know what the scene will be like when the queen comes back, but at this time she has already thrown her eldest son in Luoxia Town to experience life.
On the day when the queen left, Du Shaoqing, the shopkeeper, gathered all the inn staff, including Li Chengqian and his daughter Du Xuanxuan.
"I'll announce that from today on, our inn will be imported. This is the new friend of our inn, named Gao Ming. Let's get to know each other." Du Shaoqing pointed at Li Chengqian and explained that this explanation directly changed his surname. Li Chengqian had a bad look, but he didn't say anything to refute.
Sanhu scratched his head and smiled, "Shopkeeper, don't be joking. Isn't this the prince? When did he become our friend? You really dare to boast, and you are not afraid that the government will come to arrest you."
Everyone nodded. This is the second time the prince has been here. These days, who doesn’t know him? What a joke?
Mr. Du cleared the slut at this guy, "I said yes, from this moment on he is, how about so much nonsense?
From today on, my friend Gao Ming will be with you, eating and sleeping, doing the same job and eating the same food, and the probation period is three months. If you do well, you will be rewarded. If you don’t do well, you will still be punished. If you do well, you will get the same salary as you do."
Li Chengqian blushed and shouted: "My surname is Du, you actually let me eat and sleep with them? Do you really treat me as your friend? My mother just asked me to avoid the limelight from you..."
"Okay, don't say it so nicely. If no one wants it, no one wants to do it. Why are you showing off? Everyone is acquaintance, and who doesn't understand who?
If you are down and out, you still choose the environment? My shop recruits men and cooks. You can choose the same way? If you don’t go to the hall, come to the back kitchen to cook. Yunlai Inn is not your East Palace, I have the final say here.
If you don’t do these two things, would you even think of being a servant of our Du family in the backyard to wash clothes and sweep the floor?”
The scolding made Li Chengqian so angry that he had nothing to say. Du Shaoqing really dared to speak, and he was a little bit like throwing it apart. Since he couldn't escape this chore, he simply tried his best to train him. It was rare to have a talent for poisonous tongue, which made Li Chengqian unable to open his mouth.
Compared to being a chef, Li Chengqian could only choose to be a friend. After all, a gentleman stayed away from the kitchen and learned to cook was a joke. He comforted himself with his promise with his mother many times, and Li Chengqian gritted his teeth and agreed.
"Okay, you're ruthless, but even if you are a friend, I'm a part-time partner of the Prince of the Tang Dynasty. Don't think that others have the same courage as you dare to punish me. Look at your fellow men, I see who will dare to support me." Li Chengqian was dissatisfied and spoke provocatively, his eyes swept over the friends, and his tone was full of disdain.
Du Shaoqing was happy. He felt that the prince was really funny. He could not see the situation clearly when he fell to this point.
"Don't be your dream of spring and autumn. Do you think everyone in the world is like those around you, bowing their heads and bowing?
Ask me, what did they do before being a buddy? What scenes have they never seen? Dahu, let me tell him."
In Li Chengqian's puzzled eyes, the chef Dahu took off the apron on his waist, nodded at Du Shaoqing and smiled silly, turned around and returned to the kitchen to pick up the thick-backed kitchen knife for cooking. His aura was shocked, and he immediately changed from a chef back to the appearance of a bandit-like copycat brother who was scattered in the green forest.
"Before we, the five brothers, were all rough people from the mountains, and they often did business with past merchants. Of course, sometimes they also took on private jobs to make money to maintain public order. Before we met the shopkeeper, we never lost our hands. The reputation on the road..." Dahu introduced in a vague way.
Du Shaoqing shouted lightly: "If you speak human language, you will learn to recognize words and be so elegant about it. If you don't know, you will think you are a serious boss."
"Ahem, we used to be in the gangster green forest, and I was the leader of Hutouzhai, the road blocking and robbery is a daily job, and part-time jobs to take singles and rob, and sometimes we also take on jobs to hire murderers." Dahu understood and began to introduce his business fluently.
Li Chengqian exclaimed: "You are all bandits who kill people? Will you hire a group of bandits to be your partner? You are so brave..."
