Brother Qi's confidence in the wine he brewed is unprecedentedly high, so although he is anxious about waiting, he is not worried at all that his own wine will not be looked down on by the other party. Sure enough, at the end of the month, someone came to the door.
"Brother Li~!" Jiang Huaiyuan was filled with a bright smile as soon as he saw Li Shuo's face leave, "Why did Brother Li come to Shanyin City? I went back to the villa before, so I made a mistake with Brother Li!
It turned out that when Li Shuo left from Qingshui City last time, he followed the caravan led by Jiang Huaiyuan at that time, but he encountered a horse bandit robbery on the way, and at that time, for his own safety, Li Shuo made a decisive move, not only helped the caravan to repel the horse bandits, but even when the leader of the horse bandits was about to kill Jiang Huaiyuan. killed the leader of the horse bandits and saved Jiang Huaiyuan's life, as a thank you Jiang Huaiyuan for giving Li Shuo the seal, and told him that he could get help by taking the seal to any branch of Hongli Commercial Bank, but he didn't expect that the other party used that seal to just send himself a bottle of wine.
However, when he thought of the bottle of wine he tasted yesterday, Jiang Huaiyuan's heart suddenly warmed up, his ancestors were in business for three generations, so his sensitivity to business is definitely not comparable to ordinary people.
Jiang Huaiyuan talked to Li Shuo for a while and then turned the topic to the bottle of wine, "Yesterday I tasted the bottle of wine that Brother Li gave me, it was simply a peerless wine!"
At this time, Jiang Huaiyuan's face was full of remorse, "If I knew that Brother Li's wine was that kind of peerless wine, I would never open it and drink it, but I would take it back to my father to taste, his old man likes to drink the most!"
Jiang Huaiyuan finished speaking, stared at Li Shuo at this time, and asked carefully: "I don't know if Brother Li still has this kind of wine here?" If I can, I want to ask for more, um! If it's convenient, please tell me where I bought this wine, and I'll buy some more and bring it back to my father!"
"This~~!" Li Shuo looked at Jiang Huaiyuan with a smile.
Li Shuo's sentence was only half of what he said and his smiling expression made Jiang Huaiyuan's face red, he knew that Li Shuo could see the real thoughts in his heart, so he quickly changed his words and said: "If Brother Li has more in the back, you can also buy it directly in Brother Li's hands." ”
"This wine is gone for the time being!" Li Shuo retracted his gaze, picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said.
Hearing Li Shuo's words, Jiang Huaiyuan's face changed slightly, his brows couldn't help frowning, he wondered in his heart if he should have annoyed the other party with his own idea just now, just when he was thinking about how to save it, he heard Li Shuo say this again.
"Actually, that wine was only made in a hurry, it's not a good wine! It's just that making better wine requires a big winery, although I have a master of winemaking here, but there is no suitable winery! If there is a suitable winery, I don't mind cooperating with someone!" Li Shuo stared directly at Jiang Huaiyuan after saying this.
Li Shuo's words just now were like a huge gold ingot smashed on Jiang Huaiyuan's head at once, smashing him directly, since he tasted that wine yesterday, he knew that this kind of wine that he had never seen before would definitely sell well, and he had even thought in his heart that he would find a winery to make this wine, and he had also thought about digging the other party's winemaking master, and even thought about the obstacles and difficulties, but he never thought that he would get such an answer.
"Brother Li, do you mean that you plan to cooperate with someone to open a wine shop?" Jiang Huaiyuan asked in disbelief.
"Yes~~!" Li Shuo said to Jiang Huaiyuan with a smile: "The wine that Jiang Gongzi drank yesterday was actually brewed in a hurry, so both the taste and the aroma are much worse, if there is a winery, you can make good wine, and there is more than one type of wine!"
Li Shuo looked at Jiang Huaiyuan and threw out a bigger bait, he didn't worry about the other party knowing more, the Jiang family has been in business for generations, and the profit-seeking nature of businessmen has been completely engraved in his bones, he knows that the more information he reveals, the greater the temptation to the other party.
Sure enough, Jiang Huaiyuan's eyes became brighter and brighter with what Li Shuo said, and in the end, as soon as Li Shuo finished saying this, he couldn't wait to speak: "If Brother Li doesn't dislike it, Brother Wei happens to have a wine shop in his hands! Brother Li can go over with me first to see if it's okay!"
From yesterday's bottle of wine to these words just now, if Jiang Huaiyuan didn't know that Li Shuo was taking the initiative to cooperate with him, then he would be a fool.
Li Shuo originally wanted to find someone to work with, but now that Jiang Huaiyuan picked this out, he naturally agreed. However, the wine shop that Jiang Huaiyuan said was not in Shanyin, but in Youjing, so the two agreed to leave for Youjing in five days.
Before leaving, Li Shuo gave Brother Qi another sum of silver and asked him to stay at home, it is estimated that it will take a long time for them to come back once they leave this time, and it is also reassuring to leave some more money in the family. And on the fifth day, Li Shuo took the seventh brother to Hongli Commercial Bank early.
"Who is this?" Jiang Huaiyuan flashed a glimmer of light in his eyes when he saw Brother Qi for the first time.
"This is Brother Qi! Brother Xia! This is Jiang Huaiyuan, the young owner of Hongli Commercial Bank!" Li Shuo introduced the two of them to each other first.
"Seventh Brother~!" Jiang Huaiyuan could see at a glance that although this Xia Seventh Brother was dressed decently, he could see at a glance that this person's background was not high, and he should have been doing heavy work all year round, thinking that the other party was brought by Li Shuo, and then thinking about what they were going to do, not only did he not see the other party clearly, but he treated Seventh Brother more enthusiastically.
Considering that the seventh brother couldn't ride a horse, although Jiang Huaiyuan was in a hurry, he still gave up the fastest horseback riding, but asked people to prepare a carriage, and led the group to travel by land to Erhekou first, and then take a fast boat down the water to Youjing.

"Come~~!Lin'er!come~~!" Princess Mu shook the rattle in her hand to tease her youngest son who was crawling on the carpet, before His Majesty not only gave the twins an official position, but also gave the two children names, the son gave the name Lin, and the daughter gave the name Huang.
In fact, Princess Mu didn't like her two children to crawl on the ground, even if the floor was carpeted, but she still felt dirty, if it weren't for Li Hui who said that children crawling more are good for their health, she would say that she would not want to let her two children crawl on the ground.
And at this time, a small guy suddenly ran in outside, because the speed of rushing in was too fast, and he collided with the maid in the house, and the two of them fell to the ground.
"What's going on? What does it look like to be reckless?" Princess Mu frowned and looked at the little girl kneeling there trembling and asked, and she saw that the little girl had a white silk tied around her waist, and her heart suddenly chuckled, "What's wrong?"
"Niangniang, the news from the palace is that the prince is gone!" the little guy said with a crying voice.
"The prince is gone?" Although she always knew that the prince's health was very bad, she was afraid that she would not last long, but when she really heard the news, she still startled Princess Mu, and she thought that His Majesty's heirs would not prosper in this life, and the prince was His Majesty's only son, and this prince was going to change if he didn't have this day!
"Niangniang, the prince asked me to pass the word over, let Niangniang hurry up and prepare, the palace must be hung with filial piety!" The little maid explained Duanmu Shuxuan's words.
Of course, Princess Mu also knew what the death of the prince represented, so she hurriedly ordered to let people put away all the brightly colored things in the garden, especially most of the clothes of the dragon and phoenix fetus were brightly colored, so people had to prepare plain clothes quickly.
Not only Princess Mu here, but the entire palace immediately moved after receiving the news of the prince's death, but the entire palace changed in half a day.
Li Hui usually likes to be plain, all the colors are very bright no matter how they are dressed, and the furnishings in the room are relatively simple, and they don't need to be cleaned up, but after the news came out, the atmosphere of the entire palace immediately became very depressing.
"It's troublesome!" Li Hui sat there with a glass of milk and muttered to himself, why did the prince become the prince, in fact, the reason is very simple, that is because the current majesty and his prince are dead alone, who else can he do if he is not the prince? But now that even the only prince is gone, who will take over the throne of His Majesty? And I remember that His Majesty is not young now, and there has been news of physical discomfort from time to time in the past two years.
"Niangniang, the prince is here!" took advantage of the lake-blue clothes with a white silk tied around his waist to Li Hui.
"Lord Wang~!" Li Hui turned around and saw Duanmu Shuxuan walking in, although his face looked expressionless, but Li Hui still saw a trace of joy and irrepressible excitement from the bottom of his eyes.
"The news just came from the palace, this time the crown prince returned to heaven His Majesty is heartbroken and unbearable, and he has issued an order to mourn the whole country! If I don't think it works, I will close those shops outside first! We still have to be taboo at this juncture!" Duanmu Shuxuan said this as soon as he saw Li Hui's first sentence.
"Hmm~!I've already ordered someone to do it!" Li Hui asked in a low voice, "I just don't know how long it will take to hang filial piety this time?"
"Why should it take half a year!" Duanmu Shuxuan said that at this time, his brows furrowed deeply, "The crown prince is His Majesty's only son, and now there is no more, I am afraid that His Majesty's mood will not be good, so the time for hanging filial piety this time will definitely not be short!"
"It's too~!" Li Hui nodded and said, "Then I will tell the people to pay more attention, don't dare to make any mistakes at this time!"
Duanmu Shuxuan talked to her here with Li Hui again, and then got up and went to Princess Mu.
Princess Mu didn't express any surprise at Duanmu Shuxuan's arrival, now that such a thing has happened, she is a concubine, and Duanmu Shuxuan, as the prince, will definitely come here to arrange it. And she didn't show the dissatisfaction in her heart, she knew that Duanmu Shuxuan came to her place just now after going to Li Hui, which made her heart very uncomfortable.
What Duanmu Shuxuan said to Princess Mu was basically the same as what he said to Li Hui, it was nothing more than telling her to pay more attention to the situation in the mansion during this time, and not to make any problems at this time, as for Concubine Luo, he just instructed his subordinates to let Concubine Luo not go out of the courtyard during this time.
What people didn't expect was that with the death of the prince, bad things appeared one after another, first the flood caused by the heavy rain broke the embankment and drowned a lot of people, and as a result, the victims here caught up with the snow disaster before they could deal with it, and the entire Nanshu country was immersed in a kind of pain and tension.
"Why does Niangniang want us to enter Beijing at this time?" Lu Ru asked in a low voice while packing her luggage, "Don't you really want to choose one of the many princes to inherit the throne?"
Li Hui glanced at Lu Ru very strangely, "What? You all know about this?"
"Hmm~!" Lu Ru nodded and said: "Don't say that we know, now this thing is going crazy outside, everyone says that this is because Your Majesty has no virtue and will have no queen, and now the whole country is not happy, and it is also said that you must quickly elect a new emperor to let Your Majesty give way!"
Lu Ru said that these are some rumors she heard outside, she is a maid in the palace, and she has been by Li Hui's side for so many years, so whether it is her vision or her heart, she noticed that something was wrong when she heard those rumors outside, so she said this to Li Hui.
Sure enough, after listening to Lu Ru's words, Li Hui's face changed greatly, "Is this really the case outside?"
"Hmm~~! It's crazy outside!" Luru said with certainty.
"Someone~!Go and invite the prince over!" Li Hui didn't dare to delay the time, so he hurriedly asked someone to invite Duanmu Shuxuan over, and told Lu Ru the rumors he heard.
"There is really a problem with the words that come out of the prince at this juncture, could it be that those people with ill intentions deliberately spread the news? If this is the case, then I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to the prince!"
Li Hui's words are not alarmist, now I think that His Majesty has no heirs, but the court is in trouble because of the fact that there is no heir.
