Li Shimin

Chapter 41 The Prince is brilliant?

At the same time, I was extremely surprised.

In this small villa, the father is actually the king of Hejian County?
Who is the little gentleman in this small courtyard, who can make the emperor treat him so courteously?
Suddenly, with a creak.

Li Chengqian saw a young figure walking out of the house.

Dressed in a gray robe of raw linen and coarse cloth, the handsome face looks familiar, but the expression on his face is a little lazy?
Before Li Chengqian could react, he found that his father had already walked up with enthusiasm.

I can't help but stare blankly!
How does it look, it looks more like the father is welcoming some distinguished guest?
And Li Xuan was even more helpless.

As soon as he went out, he saw the Second King Li standing outside the door.Beside him, there was a little boy, with a pair of bright eyes, looking around.

At first glance, I have never seen anything in the world!
Shouldn't you be a nanny?
Suddenly, such a bad thought appeared in Li Xuan's mind, and he immediately went 'Bah, bah, bah!
"Little Master, what's wrong?"

Seeing this, Li Shimin, who came up to meet him, hurriedly asked with concern.

"Thank you for your concern, my lord. Suddenly, my brain is a little bit possessed by evil spirits, and I need to spit it out with my saliva!"

Li Xuan said nonsense casually.

"I see!"

After hearing this, Li Shimin's face was suddenly stunned.

Afterwards, he introduced to Li Xuan: "Little master, this king's eldest son, Li Gaoming!"

"Li Xuan, a mountain villager, has met His Royal Highness!"

Li Xuan hurriedly saluted.

"Gao Ming met Master!"

Although Li Chengqian was full of doubts about the person in front of him, he still hurriedly saluted.

Afterwards, Li Xuan invited Li Er, father and son, into the main hall.

Sitting on the sofa.

When Li Chengqian was still amazed at the exquisiteness and comfort of the sofa, he heard again that the little master in front of him was impolitely questioning his father.

"I don't know if the king is here this time, but what's the matter?"

Can't help but stare again.

Seeing this, Li Xuan couldn't help but take another look at the elder son Li Gaoming.

Why is the Second King Li looking shrewd and witty, while the eldest son looks stupid.

And Li Shimin, seeing this, couldn't help but move in his heart.

"Little master, I'm here for two things!"

"Two things?"

Hearing this, Li Xuan suddenly felt that his whole body was not well.

One thing is already very troublesome, but there are two more!

"Exactly!"

Li Shimin didn't seem to see Li Xuan's reluctance, but continued: "The first thing is because of the sofa!"

"I didn't think about this matter, and it caused trouble for the little master.

After I carried these sofas back, I was directly seen by several dukes and kings.Nowadays, these dukes and kings are blocking the mansion every day, asking me for these sofas! "

"Your Majesty just ask your artisans to make some!"

Li Xuan said directly.

"But, these are made by my little master!" Li Shimin's face brightened, but he still said.

"It's okay, I never thought about keeping these sofa skills a secret!" Li Xuandao.

"So, for this set of sofas, I asked the princes and county kings to ask for three copper coins, of which the wood cost is the same, the craftsman is the same, and the little master is the same!"

Li Shimin continued.

"Thank you king!"

Seeing this, Li Xuan didn't say much.

Be accepted.

Is the royal father here to send money to this little master?

On the side, after Li Chengqian finished listening, such a sentence couldn't help appearing in his mind.

"Little Master, I have a second thing to do!"

Li Shimin continued.

"Please speak, Your Majesty!" Li Xuan said helplessly.

"I don't know what my little master thinks about Gao Ming?"

Li Shimin pointed to Li Chengqian and said.

Now, Li Chengqian was startled.

Similarly, Li Xuan was also taken aback.

After staring at Li Chengqian for a while, he couldn't help shivering.

I was almost stupid. Isn't Li Er's eldest son the Prince Li Chengqian whom he raised and abandoned?
It's just that I didn't expect this young lady to be so well-behaved, just like a young lady.

"Master?"

Seeing that Li Xuan remained silent for a long time, Li Shimin's expression tightened.

"what?"

Li Xuan came back to his senses, sneered, and quickly replied: "Your Majesty, your son has a handsome appearance, a well-behaved personality, and extraordinary intelligence. He must be a blessed person!"

Li Shimin...

He froze for a moment, then spoke slowly.

"Little master is absurd!"

"Although Gao Ming is smart, he has been taught by an unknown teacher, which makes me worry a lot!"

Li Chengqian...

There is almost no room for the famous teachers in the East Palace!
"Your Majesty, you don't need to worry. I think there are a lot of talents in Tang Dynasty, and there are countless scholars and celebrities in Chang'an City, especially in the Imperial College, there are countless famous teachers!"

Li Xuan said quickly.

"However, those famous teachers can only teach Confucian classics and history, but they don't know anything about arithmetic!"

Li Shimin looked helpless.

Immediately, he looked at Li Xuan expectantly, "Young master, I don't know. Although Gao Ming looks smart, he has always been well-behaved, simple-minded, and not proficient in arithmetic, so he is very easy to be deceived!"

"Your Majesty is worrying too much. Your Royal Highness is honorable, who dares to deceive you!"

Li Xuan still didn't answer.

"Ugh!"

Seeing this, Li Shimin sighed deeply.

"Speaking of which, my little master would never have imagined that before I came here, I even asked Gao Ming a simple arithmetic problem. But, all the way to my little master's house, Gao Ming still couldn't figure it out!"

"If you don't know how to do arithmetic, why don't you worry about it!"

"Forehead!"

Li Xuan couldn't help but touch his forehead!

Still, no conversation.

"Little master, the enemy has more than [-] infantry, [-] cavalry, and [-] logistics and labor labor. How much do you think the enemy has in total?"

Seeing that Li Xuan still didn't talk to him, Li Shimin asked directly.

"20,000 taels a hundred people!"

Subconsciously, Li Xuan blurted out.

"My little master is really good at arithmetic!" Li Shimin's face was full of joy.

On the other hand, Li Chengqian looked at Li Xuan in shock.

There is still a trace of suspicion in the eyes, this little master is not the entrustment of his father, right?
"Gao Ming, if you don't believe me, you can take out your calculation bag and do some calculations!"

On the side, Li Shimin said directly.

"Yes, Father... King!"

Li Chengqian responded quickly, took out the counting bag, took out more than half of the counting chips, spread them out on the coffee table, and started counting in a row.

Seeing this, Li Xuan couldn't help feeling a headache.

"Your Highness, add 20,000 taels to [-], and add [-] to [-] taels. Why use calculations?"

In fact, this kind of addition and subtraction with four digits was only understood by those children at Li Gaoming's age in the previous life.However, now, in an era that doesn't value arithmetic, it's normal for this little Zhengtai to struggle so much.

However, Li Xuan, who has always been used to fast calculations, really couldn't bear it. Such a clever little lady was swinging around with piles of small sticks.

"Thank you little master!"

Li Chengqian, who was only ten years old, thanked Li Xuan ignorantly.

Then, he calculated it himself.

Li Xuan was speechless.

Seeing this, a gleam of joy flashed across Li Shimin's face.

"Little master, how can I be at ease when you say that Gao Ming looks like this."

Then, without waiting for Li Xuan to speak, he continued: "Here, I would like to ask the young master to teach Gao Ming how to do arithmetic for a few days, what does the young master mean?"
