Tang Dynasty Little Godfather

Chapter 184 I am Du Fu
Uncle Fu was truly speechless about the young man in his family.

You could say he's immature.

He could charm the emperor to the point of obsession, and the emperor loved him dearly. But if you were to say he was sensible, he would neglect his own business and only think about helping others make money.

Even a spendthrift wouldn't squander money like this.

well.!

With no other option, Uncle Fu could only think of going to Wang Shouyi.

Wang Shouyi had been away from home for several days, traveling back and forth between Chang'an and Luoyang with Huangfu Shangde.

That's effort, that's effort.

But...

A man's true nature.

Wang Shouyi was also very philandering by nature. Although he was uneducated, he was tall and strong, handsome, and extremely wealthy. He had lovers everywhere. He had been restricted at home by the princess of Xue, but once he was out, he immediately let loose and indulged in revelry every night.

Boom boom boom!
A knock on the door startled Wang Shouyi from his sweet dream. He quickly sat up and exclaimed, "Who is it!"

“My lord, I am a villain.”

Uncle Fu's voice came from outside.

At this moment, a young and beautiful woman sat up next to Wang Shouyi and asked softly, "Who is it?"

"Don't be afraid, Sister Liu. This is my housekeeper. You should rest well. I'll be right back."

Wang Shouyi got out of bed, put on his clothes, went out the door, and asked Uncle Fu in a low voice with great dissatisfaction, "Why did you come here?"

Uncle Fu said, "Young master, you may not know this, but recently the Nameless Academy has produced a new wine, which is made from grapes. Its taste is far superior to all wines currently being made, and it has caused a great sensation."

Wang Shouyi frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Uncle Fu said, "We should keep this good wine in our own family and sell it here."

Wang Shouyi said unhappily, "Then go and talk to that kid. Why are you coming to me with this kind of thing?"

Uncle Fu said awkwardly, "But the young master said that the young master should go and talk to him in person."

Mr. Wang Shouyi was stunned for a moment, then realized what he meant and his eyes widened in anger. "That brat! I was just teasing him back then, and he still remembers it now."

Uncle Fu nodded repeatedly and said, "Young Master probably meant that."

Wang Shouyi snorted, "I'm not going to beg that kid. He's just trying to embarrass me. Why would I let him have his way? We're not short of money. Don't go looking for him. He's just selling wine. What's there to be proud of?"

These two, father and son, are strikingly similar.

Uncle Fu said in a low voice, "Young master, it was actually Lady Zixia who contacted me first."

Wang Shouyi was taken aback and asked in surprise, "This matter has alarmed her?"

Uncle Fu nodded. “Your Excellency, please do not underestimate that wine. It is truly one of the best wines in the world today, and even the Hero Wine from before cannot compare to it.”

Wang Shouyi pondered for a while, then suddenly asked, "If I also have no solution, what do you think Yaomei will do?"

Uncle Fu said, "Given Madam Zixia's style of doing things, she might personally come forward."

Wang Shouyi chuckled and said, "Then let her go and teach that brat a lesson."

"what?"

Uncle Fu stared at Wang Shouyi in astonishment.

Wang Shouyi said, "Whether it's that brat or the little sister, they both like to be arrogant and are extremely hateful. Why not let them kill each other? I'll be happy to have some peace and quiet."

Fu Bo was dumbfounded. "Duke, this...!"

"Ok, deal."

Wang Shouyi snorted, "I'm busy with the affairs of the Anye Bureau right now, I don't have time to meddle in other people's business."

Before he could finish speaking, a sweet, coquettish voice came from inside, "Wang Lang, aren't you finished yet?"

Wang Shouyi quickly replied, "Coming! Coming!"

Uncle Fu looked at Wang Shouyi and said, "You are indeed very busy."

Wang Shouyi asked in a low voice, "Is Madam alright?"

Uncle Fu said, "Madam is doing well."

Wang Shou nodded and asked again, "Didn't you ask anything?"

"No."

Uncle Fu shook his head.

"That's good then." Wang Shouyi said, "Remember, don't talk nonsense."

Uncle Fu nodded sheepishly and said, "Yes."

Wang Shouyi said, "Let Yaomei teach that brat a lesson. If she gets a good beating, hehe, I'll be happy too, haha!"

".!"

That morning, Hongxiu arrived at the academy early as usual.

But as soon as she entered, a clump of mud flew towards her, startling her so much that she screamed. Luckily, it didn't hit her. Turning her head, she saw more than ten children chasing and playing in a corner, all of them covered in mud.

Where did these children come from?

Hongxiu was puzzled and looked around. She saw Wang Xi, Li Jieman, Huangfu Sengnian, and Wang Shuang squatting on the mound of earth, seemingly observing the children.

So they went around in a big circle and came to Wang Xi and the others.

"Good morning, teacher."

The four of them quickly stood up and bowed to Hongxiu.

Hongxiu nodded and then asked, "Who are these children?"

Wang Xi said, "Teacher forgot, we need to prepare some operas suitable for children, so we need to invite some children to perform."

After hearing this, Hongxiu glanced at the "lively and active" children and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat again. "These children seem a bit difficult to manage." Li Jieman chuckled and said, "Don't worry, teacher, we don't need to manage them."

Hongxiu asked, "What do you mean?"

Li Jieman said, "These children are also used by the teacher to test those noble ladies. In the future, these children will be handed over to those noble ladies for discipline. Whether they can enter the school will also be decided by these children."

This isn't an assessment, it's clearly a torture!
Hongxiu asked doubtfully, "Was this really ordered by the master?"

Wang Xi smiled and said, "Otherwise, we wouldn't dare to make the decision. What you're doing is in accordance with the way of Heaven."

Hongxiu asked, "What do you mean?"

Wang Xi said, "Because you believe that women are different from men, and for women, motherhood is the most important thing. Therefore, this is used to test their motherhood."

Hongxiu nodded slightly and said, "I see."

Huangfu Sengnian saw that Hongxiu had no doubts. He thought to himself, "What Quege'er said makes sense. The words of the sage are ambiguous and can be interpreted in any way."

Seeing the children chasing and playing around without any regard for others, Hongxiu felt frightened and hurriedly said, "Teacher has to go now. You must keep an eye on them and make sure they don't accidentally hurt anyone."

"The students understand."

After Hongxiu left, Wang Xi said, "I also have something to do at Yixianjue. You guys watch over things here."

"Go! Go!" Wang Shuang waved his hand and said, "Leave this to us."

After Wang Xi left, Li Jie said, "These kids don't even rush up to a great beauty like their teacher. They're much worse than when the dog-headed vulture was young."

Huangfu Sengnian said, "So this still requires training."

Wang Shuang asked curiously, "How do you train them? Do you teach them kung fu?"

Huangfu Sengnian said thoughtfully, "Since we want to train them to be even more unruly than the vultures, the best way is naturally to let them deal with the vultures."

Li Jieman and Wang Shuang looked at him in shock at the same time.

Huangfu Sengnian asked, "Is it good or not?"

"it is good!"

Li Jieman and Wang Shuang nodded at the same time.

Wang Xi never expected that they would plot against him.

When we arrived at Yi Xian Jue, there was still a long queue outside, but there were far fewer complaints. It turned out that many nobles sent their servants to fetch wine here, since standing in line here was simply too unbecoming of a noble.

But I feel uneasy if I don't drink this beauty wine for a day!
"Give it! Give it!"

Wang Xi finally managed to squeeze in. Looking around, he suddenly stared intently at the young man, who appeared to be around twenty years old, behind the counter. He rubbed his eyes hard to make sure he wasn't mistaken, and hurried over. "Young hero."

The young man, engrossed in keeping accounts, looked up. "Who are you?"

Wang Xi hurriedly said, "Young hero, don't you recognize me? That day at Chunhefang, you and I joined forces to fight that Tibetan brat."

The young man looked Wang Xi up and down for a moment, then suddenly exclaimed with delight, "I remember you!"

Wang Xi leaned on the counter again, excitedly saying, "Young hero, what are you doing here? I've been looking for you everywhere."

I thought to myself, I'm really ungrateful, I didn't even send anyone to look for them.

The young man looked slightly embarrassed. "Yesterday I indulged myself and drank a few too many cups of 'Beauty Wine,' and I didn't have the money to pay the bill, so I stayed to help with the bookkeeping and pay off the wine debt."

"That old Bai, how could he do such a thing to my savior?" Wang Xi was furious. "Young hero, don't worry, drink as much as you want, I'll pay for it."

The young man hurriedly said, "No, no, absolutely not. A gentleman does not accept charity. I only helped because I couldn't stand the Tibetans violating the women. If it were anyone else, I would have done the same. This has nothing to do with you, young master, and I don't expect any reward."

"That's it!"

Wang Xi's eyes darted around. This young hero's skills were quite good, and he seemed rather simple-minded. He really needed someone like this by his side. Although Wang Facai also knew martial arts, he had to help him with other things. He asked, "Young hero, do you really enjoy drinking 'beauty wine'?"

Upon hearing the name "Beauty Wine," the young man's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "This wine is truly a divine brew!"

Wang Xi said, "To be honest, this wine was brewed by me, and I also have an even better wine called 'Beauty Wine'."

As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows.

The young man exclaimed excitedly, "Really?"

Wang Xi nodded, "It's just that I'm missing someone to help me taste the wines."

"Tasting the wine?"

The young man blinked, feeling as if this job was tailor-made for him.

Wang Xi nodded and asked, "Young hero, are you interested?"

The young man was very tempted, but then smiled and said, "Young master, you probably just want to take this opportunity to repay me."

"Huh? He's not stupid, but he really guessed wrong." Wang Xi said, "It's really not that. I do need someone who understands wine and knows how to taste it. Besides, I also value your skills, young hero. While tasting the wine, you can also protect me. You may not know this, young hero, but everyone wants the 'Beauty Wine' these days. Everyone's eyes light up when they see me. I'm worried someone might kidnap me. Don't worry, I won't shortchange you."

"I see." The young man nodded, then glanced at the Beauty Wine on the guest's table. The aroma of the wine was irresistible. He licked his dry lips and said, "I won't take the money. As long as you have the Beauty Wine, that's fine."

Wang Xi said, "Don't worry, there will be plenty of wine. But if you get drunk, will you still be able to protect me?"

The young man laughed and said, "If I were drunk, no one could get close to you."

"Is it that amazing?" Wang Xi exclaimed in surprise, "Then it's settled."

The young man then said, "But I promised Uncle Bai!"

Wang Xi said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, Lao Bai is one of my men."

The young man nodded and said, "Alright."

"Then it's settled." Wang Xi bowed respectfully. "By the way, may I ask your honorable name, young hero?"

The young swordsman stood up, cupped his hands in a salute, and said, "My name is Li Bai."

"My name is Du Fu."

Wang Xi replied subconsciously.
