Li Xiao didn't think there was anything to help his friend prepare a meal to entertain guests.

With Xue Chuyu's words, the fat chef and others dared not be disrespectful. They went to cut vegetables and shabu and cook the fire one by one.

Li Xiao held a peeled cucumber in his hand and was gnawing it happily.

In this season, Li Xiao is the only one who eats fresh cucumbers with his space. The weather is cold and the cucumbers taste even more crisp and refreshing.

"Brother Chu Yu, are we brothers?"

Xue Chuyu, who was as refreshing as Li Xiao, nodded happily after eating half of the cucumber, "Of course."

"Okay, since it's a brother, then tell me, what is the origin of the King of the Imperial Housewives?"

"Mr. Weilang, the Ministry of Works." Xue Chuyu pretended to be stupid. Although he wanted to tell Li Xiao in his heart, he said, buddy, this man is the Supreme Master of Nine Five, sitting on the dragon throne. But the emperor had already explained that he could not disclose his identity, either by revealing it on his own initiative or by accident.

His Xue family was the emperor's confidant, and his Xue Chuyu was the emperor's personal guard, so he naturally had to obey the emperor's orders.

"impossible."

Li Xiao shook his head.

He also found some problems. The king met him several times and was unusual every time. The first time he met was with Princess Yuse, and later he came with Cheng Boxian and the others. He originally thought that Lao Wang had good family conditions, and then he was familiar with young and powerful people like Yuse, Cheng Boxian and others.

But today Xue Rengui treats guests, and all the military tycoons like Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin, and Su Dingfang are not qualified to go to the table to accompany him, and they are sent over to stare at the kitchen to help.

What does this mean? It fully demonstrates that Wang Yuanwai is not only a worker.

In addition to the Ministry of Works, can you get along with a military boss? Or is it a private banquet like today?

"You didn't tell me the truth."

"He is really a worker, a worker. Today I came to talk to my brother. I happened to meet my father treating him, so I kept him as a companion."

"Impossible, you can't fool me."

Xue Chuyu doesn't know how to explain it.

"I guessed that Wang Yuanwai is probably a legitimate son of the Wang family in Taiyuan? Maybe he has a marriage relationship with your family or a British councillor. I heard that the British councillor had been in Hedong for more than ten years and had a good relationship with the Wang family. There were children in the family who married Wang's daughter." Li Xiao thought about it and felt that this possibility was relatively large.

After all, the few guests today are obviously mainly British Duke Li Ji, who is both a military boss and the current central prime minister.

A king, regardless of official position or title, could not be equal to those people. The only possibility is that he is the legitimate son of the Wang family in Taiyuan, and he may also happen to be related to Li Ji and the others.

In this case, he could explain it clearly.

"Yes, yes, yes, Sanlang, you are so smart. In fact, Wang Jiulang is not only related to the British family, but also to the Duke of Lu, the family of General Su, and my family."

Xue Chuyu said hurriedly.

He was right. Li Zhi was the emperor, and Li Jicheng Yaojin and his Xue family were actually married to the emperor.

Naturally, everyone is a relative.

"So that's it. No wonder this old Wang is so arrogant. He relies on the fact that he has relatives and big bosses in the court. He is a damn fox and a tiger. He thought he was so big. He was just a son of the Wang family in Taiyuan."

"Sanlang, Taiyuan Wang is also quite strong, okay."

"That's just the old yellow calendar in the past. Although the five surnames and seven sects sound great, they are actually no longer as strong as they were back then. They are just a thousand-year-old family. I heard that they have been married many times over the years. You said your family is close to their Wang family, so did your family also spend money to buy a wife from their Wang family?" Li Xiao said with a smile.

The Kanto gentry, led by the five surnames and seven sects, was indeed powerful in the past. Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, it has been prosperous for hundreds of years. However, since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it has actually been hit hard. Although it has started to rise a little more in recent years, it is still no longer the same as before.

It's just a good reputation. While relying on its reputation, Li Xiao looked down on these people very much, but also married into the powerful and wealthy people and made profits. He was both a bitch and wanted to establish a archway. Li Xiao looked down on these people very much.

He has a style of a declining noble family. He is poor and has to live by selling his property. He always has to act like a deputy nobleman.

However, the five surnames and seven sects sold their own families not ordinary property, but their marriages to maintain their declining status.

"Wulang, brother, I would like to advise you to make more friends like Bo Xian, but it is better to have less contact with someone like Wang Jiu. If you get along with friends, you will gradually become a person. You must remember one thing: successful people always make friends with successful people, and losers always get along with the losers. You follow the poor and learn to be petty. You follow the robbers and learn to get something for nothing. As the saying goes, those who are close to the ink are black, and those who are close to the red are red."

Xue Wu's face turned red when Li Xiao said it.

"Actually, Wang Jiulang is a good person. Really, if you contact him more, you will find that others are very good." Xue Wu couldn't help but defend Li Zhi. What he said was also what he said in his heart. He really liked this young emperor for several years as the emperor's guard.

There are many excellent things in him.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it. Anyway, I will never become friends with people like Wang Jiu. We are not born with each other, and we can't stand each other." Li Xiao bit the cucumber hard and said lightly.

Xue's living room.

Xue Rengui explained to the emperor with some concern, "Li Sanlang has a relationship with the dog son, he has a good relationship, and his cooking is very unique. Therefore, I specially asked him to come and help cook some cooking dishes today. I didn't expect that this boy was so arrogant that he offended the emperor. It was my fault. I also asked Your Majesty to surrender."

Li Zhi laughed a few times.

"Xue Qing, don't blame yourself. It's not the first day that I knew Li Sanlang. This kid is indeed very skillful, but he just can't spit out ivory and his mouth is very stinky. However, those who don't know are not guilty. I have never shown my identity, and he doesn't know that I am the emperor, so a few stinky words are nothing."

Cheng Yaojin helped, "Li Xiao is really bad-mouthed, but he is not bad. He is quite kind-hearted and is very famous in the village. He raised money to build a Lanxi Academy, which recruited many children from the village for free to study, and educated the village. It was quite good."

"Recently, he is buying cattle again. He buys a thousand heads. He spends a lot of money to buy so many cattle, but he has to give it to the people for free. As long as he helps raise cattle, he can use cattle to plow the land for free. This is a very good thing."

Li Zhi said oh.

"There is also this thing, it's really good. But if you can buy thousands of cows at one time, this kid is quite rich!"
