Li Luan'er smiled silently.

She also admits that Mrs. Jin's words have a certain truth, since ancient times, if the mother-in-law is looking for a daughter-in-law, the trouble is really easy to handle, but she is not a real ancient, after wearing it, she is in the countryside, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law wars in the countryside are more frequent.

Li Luan'er didn't believe it, she used her soft and hard knives together, what could Yan Chengyue, who was born in a famous family, do to her.

Mrs. Jin saw that Li Luan'er didn't speak, thinking that she had been taught, so she felt a little distressed again, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the Lin family is nothing more than a few tricks, one is to pretend to be sick and ask you to serve the sick, which is not afraid, and the other is to provoke the relationship between you and Chengyue, as long as Yan Chengyue can stand, the Lin family will not be able to, and there will be no old general in any more means." ”

Li Luan'er smiled: "I understand." ”

"Alright." Mrs. Jin patted Li Luan'er's hand: "Then in the end, it will be your future mother-in-law, can she be better to treat you better or try to get along as much as possible, otherwise, Yan Chengyue is afraid that it will be difficult to do." ”

Li Luan'er nodded and chuckled, seemingly agreeing, but what Mrs. Jin thought in her heart was unknown.

The two of them were talking, but they heard a burst of laughter outside, and then, Gu Xin was wearing a shirt embroidered with bamboo leaves in the moonlight, and came in with a fan in his hand, and ran towards Li Luan'er as soon as he entered the door: "Sister Li, I heard that you are in the limelight today." ”

"How did you find out?" Li Luan'er said in her heart that there is no Internet or phone here, and the matter was spread out just after the end of the flower banquet today, and the speed of this spread was too fast.

Gu Xin shook the fan and chuckled: "Many of the items used in today's flower banquet were bought from my shop. My guys sent things to Liuwangfu to listen to the people in Liuwangfu, those girls said that my sister was a god, and she drew a peony picture, and even bees were invited, so I heard it and hurried over. Tete asked my sister for advice, and I wanted to ask my sister to help me draw one too. ”

As soon as she said this, Mrs. Jin couldn't care about pulling Li Luan'er and asked, "I'm also wondering, how expressive are the peonies you painted, and you can summon bees?" ”

Li Luan'er covered her mouth and chuckled, laughing for a while before explaining: "It's not how good the peony I painted is. It's really ...... It's all thanks to my brother. ”

"What the hell is going on?" Mrs. Jin and Gu Xin became even more curious, and asked one after another.

Li Luan'er couldn't suppress her laughter: "It's really that I thought that there must be a reason why I was invited to the flower banquet in the palace, I made up my mind not to drink water casually after I went, and I wouldn't use his family's food, but. You also know that I have always eaten a lot, I don't know how much time to delay, what to do if I get hungry, it just so happened that my brother made a lot of snacks with honey as the core, and Ruizhu and I both brought some with us. ”

"What does this have to do with peonies?" Seeing that Mrs. Jin seemed to have guessed, Gu Xin was still puzzled.

Li Luan'er hugged Gu Xin: "Listen to me and tell you, before I painted the peony picture, I secretly broke a piece of dim sum skin." I bounced the honey into the paint while I was unprepared, and when I was painting, I bounced some of it in, and the honey melted. The peony picture I painted naturally has a sweet taste, and then I want water, who knows that Ruizhu this girl is really clever, and even got the honey in her snack into the water and asked me to spray it on the painting, so that one after another mixed with honey, if the painting can not attract bees. I should have bought a piece of tofu and crashed to death. ”

As soon as she finished explaining, Gu Xin and Mrs. Jin all burst out laughing.

Gu Xin covered his face with a fan: "My sister is really clever." In this way, all these people were hidden. ”

Mrs. Jin also laughed and pointed at Li Luan'er: "Monkey, monkey." It's hard for you to figure it out. ”

Li Luan'er chuckled: "This is also that the surname Lu is too deceitful, otherwise, I wouldn't have done this." ”

After laughing for a while, Gu Xin exclaimed: "Although it is also a little false, however, what my sister said about the peony is true, and the peony painted by my sister is also excellent, otherwise, if I provoke bees, I am afraid that it will not be so divine." ”

Mrs. Jin nodded: "That's what you said, you can't just deceive without real skills." ”

After talking for a while, Gu Xin pushed Li Luan'er: "My mother asked me to come and talk to my wife and sister, Ming'er is my birthday, and I am not going to make a big deal, so I want to invite your family over to have a lively time." ”

"Ming'er is your birthday?" Li Luan'er hurriedly got up and congratulated: "I really want to congratulate you, don't worry, we must go, and your birthday gift is indispensable." ”

Gu Xin should still have something to do, and after sitting for a while, he was about to leave, and before leaving, he begged Li Luan'er to draw a peony picture for her when she was free, Li Luan'er happily agreed, but she also told Gu Xin to ask her to get some beautiful tricks in exchange.

After Gu Xin left, Li Luan'er and Mrs. Jin prepared a birthday gift, and asked Li Chun to say a word and rested, and early the next morning, Li Luan'er got up early to freshen up and dress up, so she and Li Chun brought a birthday gift, and took Mrs. Jin to Gu's house.

Because it was Gu Xin's birthday, Gu Ming didn't go to the academy that day, and when he got up early in the morning, he invited the troupe to his home, and he was busy setting up tables and chairs in the garden.

When the Li family came, the tables and chairs had already been arranged, and they were arranged in a circle under the shade of the trees in the back garden, all of which were separate chairs with several cases, and there was a big mahogany food box next to each small table, Gu Xin smiled and invited everyone to take a seat, Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Jin made the seats in the room, Gu Xin, as the birthday star, naturally sat on the left side and accompanied the prime minister, while Li Luan'er sat on the right side and sat at the end.

Li Luan'er took a look, the Gu family really didn't mean to make a big deal about Gu Xin's birthday, except for the Gu family's family of three, only their family of three came to congratulate, and the next few were the two families who sat at several tables not far away, and the big girl next to Gu Xin also went over to greet the next person.

Gu Xin smiled: "I said that I would cook some dishes myself, but my brother said that my craftsmanship is far from that of Brother Li, so I won't be embarrassed, but it's my birthday." Naturally, it's up to me, I think it's not convenient to make a big table of dishes for everyone to eat, so it's better to make a small one like this, pick up everyone's favorite food and serve it, and everyone eats everyone's favorite dim sum, wine and vegetables. Watching the last play again, it is also comfortable and tight. ”

"You're good at that." Mrs. Jin smiled and praised: "When I celebrate my birthday, you will also have a game with me." ”

"When it comes to Madame's birthday, Sister Li will naturally do it, where does it seem like me, I'm still waiting to eat the delicious meal made by Brother Li." Gu Xin laughed for a while. asked the girl to open the mahogany food box next to each case, took out the wine and food inside, and took the excerpt list and asked Mrs. Jin to order one first, Mrs. Jin shirked for a long time, and then sent the list to Gu Xin.

Gu Xin loves to be lively. ordered a martial arts play, and handed the play list to Mrs. Jin again, this time Mrs. Jin did not shirk, ordered a spring mother godson, and then Mrs. Gu, she ordered a filial piety biography, and when everyone finished the play, Gu Xin asked the people of the opera team to sing carefully.

The stage was set up on the edge of the water. Through the sound of water, the singing tone is even more graceful, and everyone drinks wine, eats food and listens to music. A rare summer retreat.

After three rounds of drinking, Gu Ming looked at Li Luan'er: "The eldest lady told me about the Jun family's opening of a money village last time, I specially asked people to keep an eye on it these times, and now the Jun family's money bank business is really booming, so the Cui family is also bold and pulled the Cui family into shares." In addition, several families were called to do this business together, and the money bank received the silver deposited by the people and merchants. So he took usury and lent it to those big merchants to do business, and now it is now. I have borrowed several merchants. ”

"Oh?"

Li Luan'er put down the wine glass and thought about it carefully, when Mrs. Jin heard that it was the matter of the Jun family, where did she still have the heart to eat wine, looked at Gu Ming and asked, "Who are you borrowing it from?" ”

Gu Ming smiled: "Just what I know is the Peony Wang family, as well as the Tang family who specializes in grain and oil trading, the Zhang family who opened a foreign goods store, and the Du family who opened a weaving workshop......

As he counted, he said, "There are about seven or eight, and the other small businessmen don't know how many." ”

Li Luan'er knocked on a few cases: "What is the reputation of those businesses?" How's business doing? ”

Gu Ming frowned: "It is precisely because the Cui family is not brainless, the people who lend the silver are quite wealthy, have been trading for many years, and have a good reputation, only these times the turnover is not effective, so I went to borrow the silver from the bank." ”

"Then there is no one who is bold and greedy?" Li Luan'er asked again.

Gu Ming shook her head: "No." ”

Mrs. Jin laughed when she heard this: "I understand what you mean, if you look for someone like that, I have someone here who can introduce you to you." ”

"Who?" Li Luan'er and Gu Ming asked at the same time.

Mrs. Jin said with a smile: "This person is a salt merchant in the open, but secretly colluded with the bandits, and occupied a place in the south of the Yangtze River that is easy to defend and difficult to attack as a cottage, in addition to doing private salt trading on weekdays, it is to rob merchants, assassinate officials, dare to do anything, I happened to be seriously ill when I passed by there, and I saw that he was not good, I took a fancy to him quite righteous, and he happened to be in a better mood, so he saved his life, and he still thinks about it, thinking of repaying me." ”

"Madame is talking about Jiangnan salt merchants?" Gu Ming was taken aback: "I didn't expect him to be Mrs. 's old acquaintance." ”

"Is this man reliable?" Li Luan'er asked.

Mrs. Jin took the head: "Naturally, besides, except for some people who have a personal relationship with him, no one knows that he is still a mountain king, and everyone only says that he is a merchant specializing in salt dealers." ”

"Since ancient times, salt merchants have been very bold." Li Luan'er said while thinking about it: "According to what Mrs. said, this money and sea can do everything, if we ask him to come to Beijing to help us, it will not be a big deal." ”

Speaking of this, she looked at Gu Ming again: "Brother Gu, can you find the most talented person I asked you to find?" ”

Speaking of this, Gu Ming chuckled: "Don't worry, big lady, this matter is easy to handle, I not only found a few people who spend all day and wine, but also talked to the top girl Zichen in Lichun Building, and just waited for Jun Shaoxu to take the bait." (To be continued) R580
