Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the game is to touch the Princess Changle

Li Ke and Xue Rengui didn't give Su Chen face, so Su Chen cursed them for being short-sighted, smiled awkwardly and ran back to his room to put on his outer robe.

Li Shimin sniffed in the living room and smelled a smell of medicine.

Then he found a glass bottle on the coffee table. Su Chen hadn't put the cork back in before, so the smell came from the bottle.

Su Chen and Lu Shengyi each took one-third of this bottle of Ganmao Ling Granules, and there was still one dose left in the bottle.

"What medicine is this, and who is ill?"

Li Shimin took off his gloves, picked up the bottle and looked at the medicine powder inside.

Li Ke and Xue Rengui shook their heads. They hadn't heard that anyone in the manor was sick.

"Your Majesty, Princess Changle brought a student to the manor two quarters of an hour ago. This student caught a cold, and the Marquis asked him to take this medicine.

The name of this medicine is: Ganmao Ling Granules."

Zhang Long heard that no one answered the emperor's question, so he immediately went to the living room to report the situation.

"Ganmao Ling?"

After listening to Zhang Long's explanation, Li Shimin nodded with a puzzled look.

Why is this medicine powder not called Quhan San, but Ganmao Ling?

"Your Majesty, what are you looking at?"

Su Chen put on his robe and returned to the living room. Seeing Li Shimin staring blankly at Ganmao Ling granules, he asked with a smile.

Li Shimin asked with the bottle, "Is Ganmao Ling prepared by Master Sun?"

"Yes, today Li Zhi brought a student with a cold here. After two days, we will increase the production of medicine after confirming the effect." Su Chen nodded.

"Did you teach Master Sun the formula of this medicine?"

Li Shimin heard different information from Su Chen's words.

If it was Sun Simiao's prescription, why did he need to verify the efficacy? There was only one possibility, Ganmao Ling granules were taken by people for the first time.

"Yes!" Su Chen nodded naturally.

Then he looked at the time, it was almost eleven o'clock.

"Zhang Long, ask a few brothers to go to the canteen and move four eight-immortal tables to the dining room, and move the round table in the restaurant aside first."

The round table is too big for hot pot, and the eight-immortal table is just right for eight people to use large or small copper pots.

When Li Shimin and others came to the living room, Wang Xi went to the kitchen to make arrangements so that people could prepare more hot pot ingredients and soak potato vermicelli.

"By the way, Your Majesty, didn't you say you brought me something good? Can I take a look?"

After making arrangements, Su Chen remembered that Li Shimin said he brought him something good when he got off the carriage.

"Haha, why not, Junxian!"

Under Su Chen's curious eyes, Li Junxian came out of the living room with two bundles in his hands, one large and one small.

"Marquis Su, take a look!"

Li Junxian untied the bundle and stepped aside.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing...?"

Su Chen was speechless. The bundle was full of bamboo sticks, all about five inches long.

"Haha, today I will let you open your eyes!"

"Junxian!"

Li Junxian stepped forward again to untie another bundle, "Marquis Su, take another look!"

"^-@-^!"

Su Chen understood now. Inside the small bundle were some ingredients skewered on bamboo sticks, including lamb, potato slices, and lotus root slices.

"Your Majesty, you ate oden with hot pot?"

Su Chen had to admire Li Shimin and the others for thinking of this.

He was so surprised that he opened his mouth slightly, not knowing what to say.

"Oden? No, Chang'an belongs to the interior of the pass!" Li Shimin shook his head and denied, with a hint of pride on his face.

He clearly saw that Su Chen was shocked just now.

Empress Changsun quietly approached Li Shimin and gently pulled his sleeve. She felt something was wrong, maybe the hot pot was not used like they did.

"Guanyin maid, what's the matter?" Li Shimin asked in a low voice.

Empress Changsun shook her head slightly, looked at Su Chen and asked with a smile: "Su Chen, is lunch ready for today?"

"Hehe, mother, you guys came at the right time today, we'll have hot pot for lunch!" Su Chen recovered and laughed.

Huh?

"Your Majesty, didn't my brother-in-law come today?" Su Chen realized that Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others were not here, and Li Chengqian was not here either.

"Gao Ming has been busy training bank employees these two days, and everyone else has official duties."

Li Shimin discussed with the prince two days ago that cotton from the Western Regions was about to arrive in Chang'an, and banknotes would be printed as soon as the cotton arrived.

So the bank staff had to be gathered together for training first.

"Oh." Su Chen nodded, without saying much.

As he spoke, Li Shimin glanced at Su Chen and took out a note from his sleeve.

"Here you go!"

Su Chen took the note and looked at Li Shimin, "What is this?"

"Humph!"

Li Shimin snorted coldly and pulled Empress Changsun to sit aside.

"This is not right! Why is there so much?"

Su Chen took the IOU and walked towards Li Shimin to ask him for justice.

The IOU read: The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty owed Su Chen 3.5 million strings of cash. After the bank opened,Return the money in full.

All this was what Empress Changsun wanted.

Of course, Li Shimin had no problem with Empress Changsun's idea.

After the gold and Li Chengqian each took half, it was only 3.41 million strings of copper coins. Su Chen also had to take out 30% of his share and divide it among Li Tai, Li Ke and Li You.

In fact, Su Chen only had 2.39 million strings of copper coins. Before that, Su Chen reminded Li Chengqian that he owed him 2.4 million strings of copper coins.

"Humph! Too much? If you don't want it, give it to me. I don't think it's too little!" Li Shimin stretched out his hand to grab the IOU from Su Chen.

Su Chen quickly hid the IOU behind his back, "That won't work!"

Zhang Long led the servants to arrange the tables and chairs. The center of the hall was the reception room. One of the two sides was a dining room, and the other side was originally a study room for the emperor and ministers to discuss matters. It was also changed to a dining room after the engagement banquet.

Each dining room had two eight-immortal tables and two rows of counters for placing ingredients.

"Mother!" Little Sizi and Jin'er came to the living room.

"Did you, little naughty girl, go out to play?" Empress Changsun looked at Little Sizi's flushed face and pretended to be angry.

"Father!"

The little girl saw that the wind was not blowing in the right direction, and immediately turned around and ran to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin picked her up and put her on his lap.

"Father, let's have hot pot for lunch today! There are many delicious foods in the kitchen."

She had just gone to the kitchen with Jin'er, so it was no wonder that she didn't see anyone. It was Wang Xi who reminded Little Sizi that His Majesty and the Queen were here.

"Haha, has Mingda ever eaten hot pot?"

Li Shimin smiled and teased the little girl, and did not forget to look at Su Chen, blaming Su Chen for only knowing to let the palace make hot pot, but not telling him how to use it.

The little girl shook her head.

"Mingda, tell me what delicious foods are in the kitchen."

Little Sizi's bright eyes tilted her head and thought carefully.

"There are duck tang, duck heart, tofu skin, white hot and sour noodles..." Little Sizi counted on his fingers and said six kinds of ingredients.

Li Shimin looked confused. He had never heard of any of them, let alone eaten them.

"Mother!"

Princess Changle and her friends came back from school. They stood outside the living room and shook off the snowflakes on their cloaks and hats, and walked into the living room.

"Lizhi, this is for you. You must keep it well!"

"This is all hard-earned money!"

Su Chen handed the IOU to Princess Changle and gave her many instructions.

Princess Changle didn't understand and opened the note to read it.

Suddenly, she widened her eyes and held the note in front of her to confirm that she had read it correctly.

"Su Chen, didn't you say last time that there were only 2.4 million strings of cash? How come there are so many?" Princess Changle walked towards Su Chen in shock.

"Oh, your majesty gave it to me out of pity for us."

Li Shimin's mouth twitched when he heard this.

"My Lord, can we serve the dishes?"

Wang Xi calculated the time and came to the living room to ask.

"Yes, everyone is here, serve the dishes!"
