Great Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 3

That's right!The fat boy before was none other than Li Tai, the fourth son of Taizong who had been favored by Emperor Taizong in history, and even almost sat on the dragon chair.

He had already recognized Li Tai when he saw the two small characters "Qingque" on the longevity lock on Li Tai's chest.

In this day and age, there may not be many people who know the meaning of the word "Qingque". After all, it is a small character of the royal family. Except for the closest people, how can others easily know it.But for Zuo Ming from the 21st century, these two characters are not unfamiliar at all, because he clearly remembers that Li Tai's small characters are "Qingque"!
He really didn't expect that the first historical figure he met after coming to the Tang Dynasty was actually the legendary favorite king Li Tai.This fat man is a talent, he made a hero like Li Shimin stunned for a while, and although he didn't become an emperor in the end, he became a prince of Xiaoyao.

Just when Zuo Ming was secretly feeling emotional, the old hunter had already walked over with a large basket of buns wrapped in lotus leaves.

"Sold?"

After taking the buns handed over by the old hunter, Zuo Ming nodded, then shook the purse in his hand triumphantly, "Fifteen strings, a total of 15 taels of silver! Enough to buy a lot of salt!"

Hearing that it was sold for 15 taels of silver, the old hunter was also overjoyed.He brought a total of ten high-quality wolf skins this time. Although they were all sold, they were only sold for four taels of silver.

"Sure enough, my lord will calculate that the price of this leopard is almost equal to the old man's half a year's income!"

"That's not because you taught me well, brother! Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to catch that leopard!"

With a slight smile, Zuo Ming said modestly.

"Hehe! That's my son's cleverness. It has nothing to do with the old man! With my methods, it's not difficult to kill a leopard, but to capture it alive, hehe, I dare not even think about it!"

The old hunter patted Zuo Ming on the shoulder and said with a hearty smile.

"It was just a fluke for me! Let's not talk about that, now that we have silver taels, let's go have a good meal while it's still early! I'll take this bun back home for supper!"

With money, Zuo Ming's first thought is to eat.He has eaten enough of the bitter meat at the old hunter's house for the past few days.

Seeing that Zuo Ming wanted to treat guests, the old hunter originally wanted to persuade him, fearing that he would be too extravagant, but when he thought that Zuo Ming was originally from a noble family, he stopped talking.

Not long after, the two came together to a restaurant called "Fumanlou".

"Xiao Er! Two catties of stewed mutton, two knuckles, and two jars of good wine!"

After arriving at the restaurant, Zuo Ming skillfully ordered the dishes.

During this period of time, he has basically understood the prices of Datang.In a small restaurant like this, two catties of stewed mutton cost about 100 Wen, and for elbows, it cost [-] Wen at most, and with two jars of wine, it should cost about [-] Wen.Let’s say the money is less, you can buy more than [-] catties of rice, let’s say more, it’s just a matter of half, it’s really nothing to Zuo Ming who holds [-] pens in his hand.

But it was nothing to Zuo Ming, but the old hunter had a toothache.He can only hunt for eight months a year. If he is lucky, he can get at most five or six pieces of leather every month. For the necessary expenses, it is quite good to have five or six guan left each year. Right now, Zuo Ming eats half of the guan, how could he not feel distressed?
But the heartache is the heartache, and he is not ambiguous at all when he eats it.

Seeing the old hunter eating to his heart's content, Zuo Ming was also very happy.He is a person who knows how to repay his kindness. During this period of time, thanks to the old hunter who took care of him, gave him food and taught him how to hunt, there is no reason why he should not be grateful.Now that there is an opportunity, it is natural to repay him well.So taking advantage of the excitement, I ordered a few more side dishes.

The old hunter originally wanted to object, but seeing Zuo Ming's sincere eyes, he had no choice but to accept it.

The two of them ate for more than half an hour for this meal, and they were both a little drunk because they drank some wine.When this man is drunk, he likes to talk about women. Although there is a huge age difference between the two of them, there is no obstacle in talking about women.

Hearing that the old hunter hadn't found a wife at such an old age, Zuo Ming, who was already too drunk, immediately dragged him to the brothel in the east of the city, saying that he wanted to find a good-looking man with big breasts and fat buttocks for him. **** After hearing this, the old hunter Dang even woke up halfway from the wine, shook his head vigorously and said, "No! No! That kind of gold-selling kiln is not for people like us! I heard that a girl there is the lowest It’s worth dozens of taels! Let’s not go there to be ashamed! Let’s go back to Ansheng and sleep!”

However, when the old hunter wanted to leave, Zuo Ming was not willing to let go, so he patted his chest and vowed, "Isn't it only a few dozen taels of silver? Come with me! I guarantee that you can hug the beauty comfortably tonight." !"

After saying Zuo Ming, he dragged the old hunter and continued to walk forward without saying a word. He really didn't respond to any calls, and he didn't listen to any persuasion.

Not long after, the two came to a brothel called "An Le Ju" in the east of the city.

I have to say that being handsome is really a very useful thing.Seeing that the old hunter was so shabby and wretched, the two guards at the entrance of Anleju were not going to let him in, but after seeing Zuo Ming's clean and handsome face, they retreated consciously.

"Hey! My lord! You look very natural! It's your first time coming to our Anleju!"

When the new guest arrived, the old bustard greeted him enthusiastically.It's just that, as a senior bustard, she easily ignored the existence of the shabby old hunter.

After hiccupping, Zuo Ming smiled dissolutely, and pinched the old bustard's face with heavy makeup, "You are so smart, you can tell we are new here at a glance! But although you guessed right, it's a pity No prize! Hohohoho."

"My lord, you really know how to joke! Your coming here often is the greatest reward for the slave family! How can the slave family dare to ask for anything else?" The old bustard was not annoyed by being so frivolously ordered by Zuo, but instead smiled charmingly.

"If you want Grandpa to come here often, then you have to take good care of him!"

Haha laughed, Zuo Ming said with a drunken eye.

"That's natural! The girls in our yard, tall, short, fat, and thin, there are always young masters who like them, but I don't know what kind of girls you like?" Seeing that Zuo Ming was very drunk, the old bustard His eyes flashed.

Usually at this time, it is time for the guests to show their economic strength.

Although Zuo Ming entered the brothel for the first time, he still had this wink. However, the total amount of silver on their bodies was less than 20 taels, so how could they have any economic strength to show off?
But it doesn't matter if you don't have strength, as long as you have momentum!
I saw him grabbing his waist, and took all his silver in his hands, then grabbed the old bustard's hand, and put it straight in the old bustard's hand, "I don't understand your rules. I just brought 14 taels of silver, you can bring me whatever is enough for you!"

Seeing that Zuo Ming only took out 14 taels of silver, the old bustard's smiling face suddenly turned cold, "Master, these taels of silver are only enough to find a girl. There are two of you here!"

"Hehe! Just enough for one. Just give it to him! As for me, you don't need to say hello!"

The old bustard turned his face quickly, but Zuo Ming didn't care. He smiled drunkenly and pushed the old hunter with a nervous and apprehensive face.

Being hit by the old hunter, the old bustard immediately cursed "bad luck", then pushed him away with a look of disgust, and summoned a turtle man from a distance, and led him to a greenhouse.

After dismissing the old hunter, the old bustard turned to Zuo Ming again with a stern face, "My lord! Now that the girl has given you that friend, shouldn't you also go out?"

She has already seen that Zuo Ming is not a noble son at all, at most he just has a better appearance.

"Hehe! Look at your philistine appearance! It seems that you are afraid that I will take advantage of you! Let me tell you, if it wasn't for repaying a kindness today, I would not have come if you begged me to come to your place!"

With a drunken smile again, Zuo Ming said mockingly.

"That's a good thing! Our store just doesn't welcome guests like the young master! We really have a good understanding, and hit it off!"

Hearing Zuo Ming's sarcasm, the bustard also smiled coldly.

"You're right! But it's impossible for you to drive me away with this!"

"Then what do you want? Do you want to force me to use force?"

Seeing that Zuo Ming saw through his plot, the old bustard said indifferently.Although he didn't want to make too much trouble and affect the mood of other guests, it didn't mean that she could tolerate Zuo Ming's rogue without limit.

"Tsk tsk! Woman, you are so impulsive! Forget it, since you are in such a hurry to drive me away, I won't tease you anymore! Do you have pen and paper here? I will give you a song. In exchange, you can give me that Brother, find four or five girls to go over there! Remember, this time I want Zhou Zheng, with big breasts and fat buttocks!"

Seeing the evil look on the old bustard's face, Zuo Ming immediately curled his lips boredly and said.

However, when he heard that Zuo Ming asked for paper and pen first, and then brazenly said that he could change a few girls for a piece of music, the old bustard burst out laughing out of anger.

At that time, he sneered and clapped his palms, attracting everyone's attention, and then jokingly said to everyone, "Everyone, come and have a look, take a look! A peerless talent was surprised in this building, and he said that he would use a song, In exchange for my four or five girls staying overnight in Anleju! It can be said to be a once-in-a-lifetime event, if you pass by, don’t miss it!"

"One song for four or five girls, I'm afraid this kid is crazy about girls!"

"I think so too! This is the first time I've heard of using songs to court prostitutes!"

"Isn't it? Looking at this kid, I'm afraid he's quite drunk!"

At that time, all the guests laughed lightly and started talking.Some of the bold and unrestrained ones laughed and shouted directly, and kept praising Zuo Ming for his character, which is really a kind of temperament in my generation.

Facing the ridicule around him, Zuo Ming only smiled lightly, and then, in front of everyone, he generously said to the old bustard beside him, "It's just a piece of paper and ink, and it's not worth a lot of money. When I finish writing , leave immediately. If you think this song is worth it after I leave, then send those four or five girls to my elder brother. If you don’t think it’s worth it, just tear it up, and you won’t lose anything. Is it worth it for you to be so stingy?"
