PS: The first day of Sanjiang, two updates today, and one more chapter before 9pm.

Although it was very cool in the pavilion, several people were still sweating after lunch. Wen'er immediately asked people to serve desserts after the meal. This was also the focus of Li Min's careful preparation. Only a few maids were seen serving everyone.

A small lamp came up with a lid on it, and silk threads of cool air floated on the surface of the small lamp.

Li Zhi and the others opened the lid at Li Min's signal, and saw a very brightly colored snow-like object inside the small cup, with some fruit pulp and cheese dotted in it, which looked very appetizing. The painting will be ready.

The little spoons were presented to them, and everyone couldn't wait to take a bite. They were immediately conquered by the delicate, smooth, and refreshing taste. The sweetness was accompanied by a strong milky fragrance. People couldn't help but take a bite.

Want to take a second bite.

This is Li Min's homemade ice cream. Several main raw materials such as milk, cream, honey, and egg yolk are mixed in a certain proportion, and then placed in an ice cellar to freeze. After hardening, take it out and add the prepared fruit pulp and cheese crumbs. The taste is

It was definitely no worse than any ice cream he had eaten in his previous life.

"Brother Liu, this thing is so delicious!" Gao Yang praised loudly while eating. Ice cream is already popular among girls. In addition, in such a hot weather, having a bite of ice cream that is refreshing and sweet is absolutely unparalleled.

enjoy.

"Of course, this thing is called ice cream. Not only is it extremely delicious, but it can also relieve the heat. It is the best cold drink in summer." Li Min said proudly, but it was a pity that Qinghe and the others were so focused on tasting the delicious food that no one listened to his show off.

.

At this time, little Sizi looked at his brother and sister's cup, and then looked at his own. Suddenly he pouted and said angrily: "Brother Six, you are partial, why is Sizi's ice cream only half a bowl, but yours is all?"

Is it full?" Sizi's words attracted Li Zhi and the others who were eating fiercely with their heads down. They looked at the ice cream in Sizi's hand and found that it was indeed only half a bowl.

"Sizi, although this ice cream can relieve the heat, it is not advisable to eat too much, especially for a child like you. Eating too much will cause stomach ache." Li Min replied helplessly. Originally, he didn't want Sizi to eat it.

Eating ice cream, but if everyone has it, but Sizi doesn't, it seems that he, as the elder brother, is too cruel, so he asked Wen'er to give Sizi a small portion. Unexpectedly, the sharp-eyed Sizi discovered it all at once.

question.

Hearing Li Min's words, Si Zi immediately pouted her mouth unhappily. After just tasting the deliciousness of the ice cream, the little girl immediately fell in love with this kind of food. But she didn't expect that the sixth brother who always loved her would also be with that person.

Like Dr. Sun, he stopped himself from eating the things he liked.

"Si Zi, be obedient, and Sixth Brother is also doing it for your own good!" Li Zhi also knew that Sixth Brother was doing it for Sizi's good, so he tried to persuade him, and his two sisters, Qinghe and Gao Yang, also started talking to make Sizi happy.

"Don't be angry, Sizi. Otherwise, Sixth Brother will tell you a lot of nice stories later and play with Sizi all afternoon, okay?" Li Min knelt down and said softly, talking about coaxing the child.

He was still somewhat aware that if he wanted to divert their attention from one thing, he had to attract them with another thing that made them more interested.

"Really? That's great. Sizi likes to listen to stories the most!" When Sizi heard that Brother Six was going to tell him a story, he clapped his hands and shouted happily. Children all like to listen to stories, and Sizi is no exception.

However, although Li Shimin loved Si Zi, he was busy with government affairs and had no time to spend with her. Queen Changsun was in the hospital, so only Concubine Yang took care of Si Zi. Concubine Yang grew up in the palace and knew nothing more than what she read in books.

Some short stories simply couldn't satisfy Si Zi's requirements. Poor little Si Zi usually had no one to tell her a story when she wanted to hear it. Now that Sixth Brother wanted to tell her a story, she was naturally dancing for joy.

"Brother Six, what should we do?" Li Zhi asked while eating the ice cream in his hand. They planned to stay at Li Min's place for the whole afternoon and they couldn't do anything interesting to kill the time.

"This is simple. Wen'er, go to the room and bring us the things we often play with!" Li Xin ordered with a smile. When it comes to eating, drinking and having fun, Li Xin is no worse than anyone else. He can just use the same game methods in later generations.

, which is enough for the children to have fun.

"Brother Six, is this the fun thing you said?" Li Zhi asked, pointing to the pile of cardboard on the table. Wen'er quickly took the thing and put it on the table. Just now Li Min put this thing

There are few people in the world who are so boastful, saying that they will definitely be fascinated by this thing after seeing it, but isn't it just an ordinary piece of cardboard, and it doesn't look interesting no matter how you look at it? Gao Yang and Qinghe also looked at it with puzzled faces.

By Li Min.

"This thing is called poker, uh~" Li Min was suddenly startled. He remembered that poker was the English transliteration, and the Tang Dynasty people couldn't explain it, so he hurriedly changed his words, "Of course it can also be called cards. It is a game.

props."

"But how to play this?" Li Zhi turned over the cards with his hands and found some inexplicable patterns and numbers painted on them, which seemed quite complicated.

Although life in the Tang Dynasty was wonderful for Li Min, it was a bit boring in his spare time. After all, there were too few entertainment methods in this era, especially at night, in an era without computers and TVs, it was simply a nightmare for Li Min.

In desperation, Li Min could only play cards that he often played in his previous life, and spent time every night playing landlords with Wen'er and Hua'er.

"The rules of this thing are very simple, you will understand if I tell them once!" Li Min spread the cards and explained to them the differences between the four suits, and then explained the rules of Landlords again. In case they didn't understand, Li Min

Xin called Wen'er and Hua'er over again and played it again for them to watch. Now everyone knew how to play it. After playing it a few times, they immediately became obsessed with this extremely interesting game and never played it again.

He pestered Li Min and ran away to play by himself.

"Brother Six, can you tell Sizi a story now?" Sizi was very well-behaved just now. Although she was young and couldn't understand how the cards were played, she still patiently waited for Li Min to settle Li Zhi and the others before asking.

road.

"Okay, Brother Six will first tell Si Zi a story about Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs... Bah~, it's the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs!" Li Min sweated profusely, almost turning a good fairy tale into an evil one.

It’s an adult story. This is all due to the influence of the Internet in later generations. All kinds of messy stories dare to be posted on it. Li Min is also one of the victims.

Li Min has many fairy tales to entertain children. "Andersen's Fairy Tales" and "Grimm's Fairy Tales" are enough for him to tell for several months. There is also "One Thousand and One Nights", which has more stories, but Li Min

He was shocked to think about it but didn't dare to say it. What he watched was the unabridged version on the Internet. It was perverted and bloody, and it was really not suitable for a pure little girl like Sizi to listen to.

After the European fairy tales were improved by Li Min, Sizi was immersed in one interesting story after another. Children usually only have one reaction after listening to stories for a long time, and that is to feel sleepy, especially after meals, all the blood in the body is concentrated in the stomach.

After digesting food, the brain will naturally feel sleepy, so after listening to three stories, Sizi fell asleep in Li Min's arms. He handed Sizi to Wen'er and asked her to take Sizi back to her bedroom to sleep.

, after all, she has been weak since she was a child, and she will easily get sick if she sleeps here in the pavilion.

"Four with two, I won again! Hahaha~" As soon as he sent Sizi away, he heard Gao Yang's excited laughter, and then heard her shouting loudly: "Give me money, give me money quickly."

!”

Li Min turned around and saw Gao Yang standing with one foot on the table, pointing at Li Zhi and Qinghe and shouting arrogantly. Li Min was speechless for a while, these little guys can really draw inferences from one instance, and he himself

I just taught them how to play, but in the end they turned out to be self-taught in using cards as a gambling tool, and had a great time playing. In fact, this is not surprising. Gambling is a common practice among the nobles of the Tang Dynasty. Last time in the Five Kings

Li Min had already seen it at the banquet. No matter what you play, you have to add a jackpot. In fact, it is gambling in disguise. As princes and princesses, Li Zhi and the others have been exposed to it since they were young. They used it for gambling when they first played cards.

Not surprising either.

Li Zhi took out his money bag with a frustrated look and poured it down for a long time. In the end, he only poured out a few copper coins. He had lost a lot just now, and these few coins were already his entire property. The situation in Qinghe

Unfortunately, her luck was better than that of Li Zhi. She won a few games at first, but unexpectedly Gao Yang suddenly killed everyone. After becoming a landlord, he won seven games in a row and lost all her and Li Zhi's money.

"Sister Seventeen, this is what I ordered, do you like it or not?" Li Zhi angrily pushed a few copper coins and said in a rogue manner. According to regulations, each person must give out ten copper coins per game as a lottery. These few coins of his

Of course not enough.

"Hey, Pheasant Slave, you are a royal prince after all, how can you act like a rogue?" Of course Gao Yang, a shrewd girl, refused and angrily pointed at Pheasant Slave and scolded. Gao Yang and Li Zhi were actually born in the same year, but Gao Yang's birth month

She is older than Li Zhi, so she is Li Zhi’s elder sister.

Li Zhi was really afraid of this shrewd young lady. When Gao Yang got angry, he immediately scared him to the point where he lost all his rogue energy. He shrank his head and looked at Qinghe for help. Qinghe covered his money bag and said with a helpless expression: "I have nothing left.

There are not many bets left. If Gao Yang continues to win like this, this little money won’t be able to support more than a few rounds.”

"Sister Seventeen, how about I write an IOU?" When Li Zhi saw that Qinghe couldn't help him, he had no choice but to choose the last method.

"It's not impossible to write an IOU, but..." When Gao Yang said this, he rolled his eyes and looked at Li Zhi with a smirk on his face. Suddenly he stretched out his hand, snatched the jade pendant from Li Zhi's waist and said with a smile,

"But please leave this jade pendant with me first as a mortgage!"

Li Zhi accidentally let Gao Yang succeed. He immediately became anxious and shouted loudly while grabbing it: "Sister Seventeen! Give it back to me! That was given to me by my father, I can't give it to you!"

"No, this is the mortgage for the money you owe. I will give it to you after you repay the money." Gao Yang held up the jade pendant cheerfully and danced to prevent Li Zhi from reaching it. Girls' bodies develop early, and Gao Yang is taller than

Li Zhi is still half a head taller, so Li Zhi can't get it no matter how hard he tries.

While the two were playing around, a big hand suddenly reached out and took the jade pendant from Gao Yang's hand. No one in the pavilion except Li Min had the courage. He took the jade pendant in his hand and looked at it.

, smiled at Gao Yang and said: "Sister Qi, you are really greedy. You want to exchange for a jade pendant for just a few cents?"

"Tch~, I didn't say I wanted it, I just used it as a mortgage." Gao Yang tried to snatch it back from Li Min, but failed after several attempts, so he replied with a look of disdain.

"Okay, isn't it just a few cents? Brother Six paid it back for the pheasant slave." Li Min threw the jade pendant to Li Zhi and said to Gao Yang with a smile.

"Huh, Brother Six, you are still very wealthy. Unlike us sisters who have not left the palace, it is not easy for us to save private money." Gao Yang was still unwilling to get the jade pendant he had always wanted, but since Brother Six had agreed to pay for it,

When the pheasant slave paid the debt, she couldn't mess around, so she could only say sourly.

"Thank you, Sixth Brother, you are my great benefactor!" Li Zhi took the jade pendant and rushed forward to hug Li Min's thigh in an exaggerated manner, with a grateful expression on his face. But Li Min would not be fooled by this kid.

This guy Li Zhi is just a wallflower with no sense of moral integrity. He might sell himself out at some point.

"Gao Yang, from what you said, you seem to be short of money. What's going on?" Li Min turned to Gao Yang, who was still angry and asked. It is said that princes and princesses like them, even if they have not left the palace and opened a mansion,

But I shouldn’t have to worry about money.

Hearing Li Min ask about this matter, Qinghe's eyes suddenly lit up. When she looked at Li Min, her eyes immediately glowed with a golden light. She ran to Li Min very affectionately, hugged Li Min's arm and said coquettishly: "

Sixth Brother, you can’t remember your life in the palace before. Princes and princesses like us in the palace have to pay for food and clothing from the palace, so they basically don’t give us money. Sometimes we can only get money from our father.

I got some money from the reward from my mother, but it’s not a lot. It’s not even enough to reward the palace people, let alone buy anything?”

"Yes, Sixth Brother, princes like us are better off. When we reach a certain age, we can leave the palace and build a mansion, and our monthly salary will be based on that of a first-grade prince. But like Sister Qinghe, as long as they are not married, they cannot build a mansion. Even though they are in the palace,

I have no worries about food and clothing, but I want to buy something I like, but I can't even get the money together." Li Zhi also began to express his bitterness. Although it was a bit exaggerated, most of it was the truth.

Li Min didn't expect that the rules in the palace were quite strict. It probably had something to do with the fact that Empress Changsun was very strict with the management of the palace. Even the rules for the use of the princes and princesses were very strict. She probably didn't want their children to develop the habit of lavish spending.

"Sixth brother, you are now a well-known rich man in the royal family. The Five Kings Drunk you created is a huge profit. I heard that the sales are very popular now. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as making a lot of money every day. Can you do the same?

We younger brothers and sisters, for example, let us have some share or something, let us also make some small money to spend, so as not to have to collect money for several months just to buy something." Qinghe is the oldest girl, and she is very thoughtful.

He was also the one who shook Li Min's arms and kept acting coquettishly.

"Sister Eleven, you have a really big appetite. Don't even think about taking a share. After all, the winery is not owned by Brother Six. Uncle Wang Hejian and Uncle Wang Jiangxia both have shares in it. I heard last time

The eldest brother wanted to gain some share, but both of them rejected him, so let's forget about it." Although Li Zhi is not old, he is very well-informed and even knows the last time Li Chengqian was rejected.

"This..." Li Min was also a little embarrassed. There was no need to think about the winery. As long as Li Daozong, the miser, was around, no one could get involved, not even tea frying. That was the main source of the palace's expenses. The rest was

In addition to the Wang family's properties, he only has a coal mine that has not yet started construction, and there is no profitable industry at all.

"Brother Six, please help us." Gao Yang, the annoying girl, also came up and hugged Li Min's arm and said coquettishly. Seeing that Li Min was a little embarrassed, the little girl added, "Actually, you don't need to earn too much money.

, as long as it covers our daily expenses.”

Gao Yang's words reminded Li Min that Qinghe and the others usually only spent some money when they went out of the palace occasionally. In addition, they rewarded the palace people in the palace. In fact, each person didn't need much money at all. As long as they found a way to give

They just need to earn some pocket money. Li Min immediately felt relaxed when he thought of this. When it came to ways to make small money, he had a lot of ideas, and there was one right in front of him. As long as it was done properly, it would definitely meet Qinghe's requirements.
