Shall you?

I found the following remarks in a novel published in 1914:

"You're going to live with me now, Philip," said Mr. Carey. "Shall you like that?"

Does "Shall you like that?" mean "Do you like it?"

@Andromeda101101,
It's more similar to "Will you like it?"

@Andromeda101101,
"Shall" is a stronger,even more positive form of will. Oaths use 'shall' for that reason.
