Datang Hotel: The Leisurely Life of a Chef Dad

Li Shimin suddenly became happy and said to Ma Zhou beside him: "Xiao Ma, look at how cute and sensible my goddaughter is."

"Come on, Yaya, call Uncle Ma."

Yaya nodded, hid behind Liu Xuan, and looked towards Ma Zhou: "Hello, Uncle Ma."

The smile on Ma Zhou's face was a little unnatural. It wasn't that he didn't know how to deal with the world. It was mainly because he had been like this for so many years. He was polite and courteous in doing things, but he couldn't bear the hardships he experienced in his early years. So now, no matter what, His expression was unnatural.

Life and experience have smoothed his edges and given him a pair of eyes like torches.

However, even so, he still managed to put on a smile, which was a little ugly, like the Nuo opera masks that people from Sichuan and Sichuan occasionally wore on their faces.

YaYa instantly became nervous and grabbed Liu Xuan's arm: "Aye, I'm afraid." ✯✷

Liu Xuan smiled: "You don't have to be afraid, Uncle Ma is a good person, right?"

Yaya seems to understand, but in the world of children, good people and bad people are very clear. No matter how you look at it, Uncle Ma doesn't look like a good person. It's okay if he doesn't smile, but it's really scary when he smiles.

Li Shimin started to wink at this moment. He introduced his smart goddaughter and was frightened by Ma Zhou, so he felt a little unhappy.

But he turned around and said to Yaya: "Yaya, my godfather is telling you, your uncle Ma is a bit scary when he smiles, but he bought the cakes he brought you today himself."

When she heard that Ma Zhou had bought the cakes, Yaya took a deep breath and nodded vigorously.

"I'm not afraid of a godfather who gets drunk after just one drink."

This change of words made Ma Zhou laugh out loud.

Since he first came into His Majesty's sight, Ma Zhou had never seen His Majesty suddenly appear in such a dilemma in this regard.

Seeing the astonishment on Li Shimin's face, Ma Zhou couldn't help but show a rare trace of relaxation in his heart.

This time, the smile became natural, and he was elated with a bit of relief that "it turns out that His Majesty is like this too".

Yaya also laughed happily.

Liu Xuan looked at the person in front of him, whom Li Shimin called Xiao Ma, and already had thoughts in his mind. Not surprisingly, this must be Ma Zhou.

That commoner prime minister, that one policy statement directly touched Li Shimin's heart, and every word was scratching the pit of Li Shimin's heart.

He seemed a little older than Li Shimin, but according to Liu Xuan's memory, Ma Zhou was two years younger than Li Shimin.

"This is the steward of my family. You can just call him Xiao Ma. Of course, Steward Ma has worked hard in the past two years, so he looks a little older, but he is actually very energetic." Li Shimin did not forget to explain.

Now Ma Zhou should still be doing clerical work. Is it the position of supervising the censor?

According to the promotion rules of officials in the Tang Dynasty, Ma Zhou entered Li Shimin's Dharma Eyes in the third year of Zhenguan. He should still be in the training stage. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a steward. After all, the steward also provides advice to the head of the family every day.

"Guanshi Ma is a smart and capable person at first glance. Lao Li, it can be said that your family is full of talents."

Li Shimin stroked his beard and felt very proud. It seemed that it would not be embarrassing to bring Ma Zhou out.

"Look at Lao Cheng and Lao Niu. Where they are standing, don't let strangers come near. They will scare away any petty thieves."

Li Shimin's face froze, and he couldn't open any pot.

Speaking of Lao Cheng, Lao Niu and Yu Chigong, he was a little angry. He once took the two of them to Dongshi... to inspect the people's sentiments and pay a private visit incognito. He had just entered Fengyue Tower, which people always said was a place where people's livelihood was suffering. , Li Shimin discovered that where the Cheng Yaojin trio were going, a group of female Bodhisattvas in Fengyue Tower retreated away, and an old lady rushed out to receive them, saying one by one: "Uncle, you haven't been here for so long. My girls miss you."

At that time, Li Shimin was almost not frightened. There were too many people in the same group, which was also a worry.

"Okay, okay, don't mention them. The children in Lao Cheng's family are studying hard recently. Dear brother, I heard they took some good things from you. The children are very happy to be able to read recently. I can’t stand reading anymore like before.”

"Tell me, what's a good idea?"

Liu Xuan smiled mysteriously: "Old Li, what you said is that, come on, come and sit at home first."

After saying that, Liu Xuan remained silent and led Li Shimin and Ma Zhou forward.

Not far behind them, Liu Renyuan and Xue Rengui covered their heads and did not dare to look up.

The two of them knew that the stories told in the books that Lao Cheng and the others took away were all violent.

Seeing a few people walking away, Xue Rengui took a long breath and said, "Old Liu, do you think that Old Li knows what is written in Mr. Hou's book? Are you going to be scared to death?"

Liu Renyuan immediately glanced at Xue Rengui. Are you kidding? Your Majesty has never seen any big storms in this life? Scared to pee? Impossible, absolutely impossible!

When His Majesty broke through the Tiger Prison Pass single-handedly, he frightened the enemy so much that he wet his pants.

"Don't talk too much, let's just pretend we don't know."

Even Liu Renyuan, who has followed Li Shimin for a long time, knows not to talk nonsense at this time. The Marquis has his own methods. He is close to His Majesty. As a little guard, we can just do our own thing and listen to the Marquis. When Yaya and Da Zhuang were telling stories, they said that when a storm comes, there is a bird called an ostrich in the desert that likes to bury its head in the sand.

Liu Renyuan wants to be an ostrich now.

In the main hall, Ma Yiyi was noticed by the alert Goudan when he entered the door.

Goudan grew up very fast. In about a month, his body became bigger. At this time, Goudan may still have the blood of Siberian wolf in his genes, and the concentration is still relatively high. He is still in the cub stage. It is estimated that he is only more than half a year old, but he already looks the size of an adult husky in the future.

Seeing Ma Zhou appear, Goudan instinctively exposed his wolf nature, squinting his eyes, lowering his tail, and pacing slowly like a king inspecting the territory. The wildness in his eyes was full of murderous intent.

But the next second, Goudan was interrupted by Li Shimin before he could hold on to the wolf king's spirit for three breaths.

Li Shimin came up and took advantage of Goudan's inattention, sneaked up and picked up Goudan in an instant.

"Hey, Goudan, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you have grown up again."

Goudan was instantly broken, staring at Li Shimin blankly with his triangular eyes, his body was still immersed in the king's style just now, but his head had returned to the previous confused state.

With his head tilted and his tongue hanging out, he looked like a child who was out of breath and sticking out his tongue.

“Ahhh~Waaaaaaa…”
