"You two are good brothers! Three Stars Illumination! Four Happiness Wealth! Five Champions! Six Six Smooth! Seven Coincidences! Eight Immortals Longevity! Nine Consecutive Rings! All of them! Hahaha, Baolin, you lost. Drink, drink! "
In the private room.
Cheng Chumo slammed the table and shouted excitedly.
"Burp ~ ~! Let's drink, who … who's afraid of you! "
Yuchi Baolin was bigger than Cheng Chumo, but she wasn't as smart. She always lost when she played with Cheng Chumo, and her Drunken Immortal level was higher. Therefore, after a while, Yuchi Baolin was a little tipsy and couldn't speak clearly.
Li Zexuan and Qin Huaiyu were almost full. They put down their chopsticks and sat at the side to watch the show with interest.
This was the second time Li Zexuan saw the ancient version of the finger-guessing game. The first time was also in this place. That was when the Gnawed Chicken had just come out. Cheng Chumo and Li Chengqian were playing finger-guessing games here.
However, Li Zexuan was accompanying Lan 'er and Changle to tell stories, so he didn't pay much attention. Therefore, this was the first time Li Zexuan seriously observed the ancient version of the finger-guessing game.
The finger-guessing game was also known as finger-guessing, finger-guessing, finger-guessing, finger-guessing, finger-guessing, and finger-guessing. It was a game that people played to liven things up when drinking. It originated from the Han Dynasty. When drinking, two people stretched out their fingers at the same time and each said a number. Whoever said a number that matched the total number of fingers stretched out by both parties would be the winner. The loser would drink. There was a word from one to ten, which was collectively known as the fist word. The fist words were generally different from place to place.
Later, the finger-guessing game developed into a family, and the method of execution became an independent system. "Empty Fist", "Inner Fist", "Five Poison Fist", "Five Elements Order", "Seven Stars Order", and "Three Victories Order" were all in this category.
"Haha, come, again!"
As the finger-guessing game required shouting, it was easy to get excited in this kind of atmosphere. At this moment, Cheng Chumo was in a state of excitement. This guy had forgotten his purpose of coming here today to freeload!
"Good, good, good, again! Again! "
Yuchi Baolin was tongue-tied, but she still wanted to continue. Li Zexuan shook his head. He might as well let the two of them play to their heart's content! He and Qin Huaiyu started chatting on the side.
…
"Hao 'er, what is Lord Li doing? Why is it so lively? "
On the other side of the private room, Mother Meng heard the commotion and couldn't help but ask.
"Judging from their voices, it seems to be Bao Lin and Huai Yu. They must have come with Sir!"
Meng Wenhao listened attentively and replied.
"Yes, it's the young masters of Duke Lu, Duke Yi, and Duke E. I just saw them over there!"
Li Yu, who was sitting beside Mother Meng, chimed in.
"Ah ~? Since he is the son of the Duke, how high is his official rank? "
Mother Meng had never been to school, nor had she seen much of the world. She thought that the son of the Duke was also a high-ranking official!
"Mother, they are still studying in the Imperial College. They don't have an official rank, so they can't be considered officials!"
"That's right, Auntie. These young masters from the High Duke's family are Wen Hao's classmates!"
"So that's how it is! Little Yu 'er, you know so much. No wonder Lord Li accepted you as his disciple! "
Today, Li Yu was going to be a lady to the end. Her words were appropriate and her actions were generous. Meng Wenhao didn't recognize her anymore. However, this made Meng Wenhao's mother very satisfied. She looked at Li Yu with admiration and admiration in her eyes, but there was also a trace of inexplicable meaning.
Father Meng was greedily drinking the Drunken Immortal at the side. He didn't have time to pay attention to their conversation. From the moment he took the first sip of the Drunken Immortal, he had already forgotten the expensive price of this wine. He also didn't remember that he couldn't bear to drink it just now. The wine and meat passed through his intestines. The spiciness of the white wine and the sweetness of the mountain fruit exploded in Father Meng's taste buds. At that moment, he really felt as comfortable as a deity. No, he wouldn't exchange it for a deity!
As for Yaya, she had transformed into a Taotie and was "sweeping the goods" like a whirlwind sweeping away the clouds! At first, the little girl ate two portions of chicken. Her mouth was full of oil and she was very satisfied. There were bits of meat on her face from time to time. Li Yu, who was beside her, kept wiping her mouth with a handkerchief.
After eating two servings of chicken, Yaya rubbed her stomach because she felt that she was already half full. She thought about how she told Li Zexuan that she wanted to eat five servings of chicken and grow up to be as beautiful as Li Yu in the future. The little girl's eyes flashed with a trace of determination and stubbornness. She started to attack the other three servings of chicken.
However, the tragedy was that after a while, the waiter came up with four more dishes. They were Red Braised Pork, Red Braised Lion's Head, Dongpo Pork, and Twice Cooked Pork. Just by smelling the fragrance, Yaya couldn't stand it. When she saw the others eating with relish, she could only eat the chicken at the side and watch helplessly. At this moment, the little girl's heart was filled with grievances. She had only heard people say that the chicken was delicious. Who would have thought that there was something more delicious than the chicken in the Drunken Immortal Restaurant!
… … …
"Your Majesty, do you have something on your mind ~?"
Imperial Palace West Court, Empress's bedroom.
Empress Zhangsun saw Li Er mechanically eating the food and staring blankly at the table as if there was something rare on the table. She asked with some concern.
"Ai, I was thinking about the telegraph machine I saw a few days ago! Guanyin Maid, don't you think that thing is strange? It's just a small iron box. Not only can it make a sound by itself, but it can also transmit the same sound dozens of miles away. It's really amazing! "
Li Er put down his bowl and chopsticks, sighed, and said.
"So Your Majesty is thinking about this! In fact, I also feel that this thing is quite amazing. Yesterday, when Li Xiannan explained the principle of the telegraph machine, I didn't understand it very well. I don't know how this child thought of making this thing! "
Seeing that Li Er didn't seem to want to eat anymore, Empress Zhangsun took a clean bowl and scooped soup for Li Er while smiling.
"Hey, this kid!"
Li Er laughed, took the soup from Zhangsun, and said, "I didn't understand much, but I understood the general meaning. From what he said, the reason why this telegraph machine can transmit signals so far is because of the process of electricity generating magnetism, and magnetism generating electricity. I know about magnetism. Isn't it a magnet? But what is this electricity? Is it the thunder and lightning in the sky? "
"Ah ~! Thunder and lightning ~? The thunder and lightning in the sky, we mortals can also create it ~? "
Zhangsun covered her mouth in surprise and said in surprise.
"Oh, who knows? This brat has too many secrets. Previously, I sent a hundred riders to Mount Longhu and asked them to investigate what this brat and Spiritual Master Ling Xu had experienced in the eight years that they had disappeared, but they didn't find anything! They seemed to have evaporated from the world in those eight years! In short, this kid is too mysterious! If it weren't for the fact that his family background is clean and he has no ambition, and that Shu Bao and Zhijie think highly of him, I would have already killed him! After all, such a person with divine skills and unknown intentions will bring a lot of unknown dangers to the Tang Empire ~! If his skills are used by the foreign race, then the Tang Empire's situation will be even worse! "
Li Er said lightly as he drank the soup. He had killed countless people in his life. When he said that he wanted to kill Li Zexuan, there was no change in his expression, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
"Ah ~? Your Majesty! From what I see, this child isn't like those evil people. He definitely won't do that kind of thing. Your Majesty, don't do something that will hurt your loved ones and make your enemies happy! It is the blessing of our Tang Empire that this child has such abilities! "
