At this time, in the inner courtyard of the Shang Mansion.

Shang Li is making a standard archery pose, as for why...... Naturally, it is also because of the traditional craftsmanship of this era, since the Zhou Dynasty "Etiquette collapsed", the descendants of the princes and nobles who were originally responsible for guarding the Zhou royal family have broken away from the royal subordination relationship, and established one after another aristocratic families who are only loyal to the princely kingdom, coupled with the influence of Confucius's thoughts, the "six arts of the gentleman" have not been completely abandoned and abandoned in this era, so riding kung fu is the "gentleman's art" that the nobles of this era must know Of course, there are actually a lot of things like the original owner before Ling Hao crossed over, but it is basically the oil bottle in the family, and he can only lie down and enjoy happiness, and he doesn't know how to run the family at all, so he can only live under the protection of the family all the time, otherwise he may not know how to die in the future, and what to die for......

At this moment, Shang Li had already put on a standard shooting posture, and after a while, he gently put it down, and while practicing many times, he also listened to the green clothes slowly tell him some things today.

"I heard Brother Wei say that Rhubarb's understanding is actually very good, alas, but he himself is an ant, what a pity is a good seedling. Green frowned.

"Ant's assets? Not necessarily...... The tortoise shell that was used to test the qualifications was broken into several pieces at once, and the ants did not have the ability to do this. ”

"Ah, isn't it that miss, you were worried that people would spread the word and damage Rhubarb's face, so you directly destroyed the tortoise shell?"

"What, I'm so bored, I just don't want to cause some trouble out of thin air. ”

"What's more, what about the assets of ants? Although there is a time when manpower is exhausted, as long as the will is unyielding, there will always be a time to ascend to heaven in the future. ”

"When I was a child, I was even worse than rhubarb, and my physique was naturally weak, and I almost died at a young age. This time, Shang Li finally bent his bow and shot the arrow.

"Miss, this is different from rhubarb, Miss has excellent qualifications, but her body is lacking in qi and blood. Only then did Lu Yi take out the silk scarf prepared in advance and wipe the sweat for Shang Li.

"Fortunately, the old man begged the Prime Minister for the gift of the mental method of regulating qi and blood, and after so many years of practice, it will slowly make up for it. At this time, Lu Yi also took out a bowl of drink filled with a fishy smell from the food box on the side, yes, this is a bowl of fresh goat milk that has just been squeezed out not long ago, goat milk without any processing, the taste of drinking may not be as good as boiled water, but this thing is unexpectedly very nutritious in this era, it is a great tonic that can increase qi and blood, and it is suitable for Shang Li, a woman who has insufficient blood in the weather.

Green Yi handed the bowl of goat's milk to Shang Li, every time Shang Li asked and smelled the fishy smell, he would always feel sick to his stomach, and at this moment he involuntarily blurted out: "This thing...... No matter what time you drink it, it's still so fishy. ”

But after hesitating for a moment, Shang Li still put his heart sideways, leaned up on his neck and slowly poured it down.

"Come on, Miss, come on. Green Yi encouraged Shang Li on the side.

"Don't talk about that mental method, after practicing for so many years, I only feel that my strength is gradually increasing, but my body is becoming more and more bulky, not light enough, and others will fall down when they push it......" Shang Li complained sadly for a while.

"What's the name of "Xiong Zhen Yang Pulse Sutra", it's weird, it doesn't sound like a girl like me practicing the exercises. ”

"Hehe, Miss, are you content, this is a priceless exercise that is hard to find outside, and it is absolutely impossible to pass it on. ”

"Ouch, don't talk about it in green clothes, since I practiced this exercise, you see me, it's still flat after so many years, how do you do that fair lady in the future, how can you get married. Shang Li pouted dissatisfied.

"Miss...... Stop it. ”

Just as the two were laughing at each other, suddenly the porter came in and saluted Shang Li respectfully: "The villain greets Miss." ”

"Huh, why did you come here, could it be that there are guests coming to the door?"

"Yes, the person who came is the second son of the Ling family in Yongcheng, this is the famous thorn handed over by the second son of the Ling family. The porter, surnamed Xiong, hurriedly showed the name thorn that Ling Hao had handed him earlier.

Shang Li glanced at the contents of the name tattoo, and his expression gradually became serious: "Since this is the case, then invite Second Prince Ling into my Shang Mansion and discuss it carefully." ”

"Yes, the villain is retired. The bear's doorman retreated respectfully again.

"Miss, what is the reason why this Second Master Ling suddenly came to visit?" asked the green cloth curiously.

"He wants to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with our business government, and he doesn't know what the hell he is doing...... In the past, it was rumored that the second son of the Ling family was the most unlearned, and only relied on the power of the Ling Mansion to do mischief in Yongcheng, and others did not dare to provoke him, so they had to swallow their anger...... Anyway, the visitor is a guest, so let's go meet him for a while. Shang Li put on a serious expression again.

After all, the merchant is busy with official business, and rarely goes home, Shang Li, as the eldest daughter of the merchant, in the absence of the merchant master, is naturally regarded as the little master of the Shang Mansion, and the host naturally can't be as hippie and smiling as just now when he meets the guests, otherwise he will be said by others to be "uneducated", in this era, every move of the nobles must be cultivated, otherwise they will be ridiculed by other nobles as "country people"......

In fact, in the final analysis, this is just an unwritten rule and tacit understanding between the aristocracy, and the low-level people and Ren Xia Ranger naturally don't care about these at all.

In the same way, Ling Hao, as a guest who came to visit and be a guest, naturally had to show his humble attitude and gentleness as a guest, otherwise he would be ridiculed by the host as a "rude person" who was "uncultivated", which was also a common problem for all nobles in this era.

"Green, you go down and get ready, and come with me to meet the guests in a while. Shang Li commanded.

"Yes, miss. Green agreed respectfully.

According to the rules of this era, when the nobles visited each other, the host and the guest should show their friendly attitude, the host should dress up and sprinkle the courtyard to show the atmosphere of the host's house for the visitor, and the guest should naturally pay respectful to the host and praise the heroism of the host's family.

But if you really want to put it bluntly, in fact, it is just polite words such as "It's better to see than to hear today, the Shang Mansion really has such a heroic and dry cloud background, and the contemptible mansion is ashamed of itself".

In fact, Shang Li and Ling Hao did do this in such a proper manner, after a few polite words to each other, they took a sip of tea, and Ling Hao began to get to the point: "I don't know if Miss Shang is willing to establish long-term cooperation with our Ling Mansion?"

"I don't know what kind of long-term cooperation Ling Er Gongzi refers to, and I hope Ling Gongzi can correct it. ”

"Naturally, it's still a business cooperation, it's not a secret, our Ling Mansion has just discovered some overseas strange things recently, and I don't know how to learn and don't know how to do it on weekdays, but I also like to tinker with these things, and today I specially came to talk with Miss Shang about this matter with sincerity." ”

"That's very good, then ask Second Prince Ling to present those strange things from overseas, so that our merchant government can know what kind of strange things can make Second Prince Ling rush to the merchant mansion in such a hurry. Shang Li nodded solemnly, showing the prestige of the master's family.

"Then it is better to obey the command, come, and bring up the few things that you have brought out today. ”

At this time, Yan Nantian appeared with several large cloth bags, and opened several cloth bags in turn along the place where Shang Li's gaze stopped.

"All the items have been submitted, and Miss Shang is invited to take a look at them. Yan Nantian saluted respectfully, and then retreated, according to the rules, he could not appear on such occasions as an entourage.

"I didn't expect Second Prince Ling to be so hidden, this accompanying diner probably already has the strength of the sixth-level ground lock, right?" Shang Li asked.

"Miss Shang's eyes are as wise as a torch, and it was also a coincidence that she accepted this diner before she went down, and now she is serving as the deputy steward of my Ling Mansion. Ling Hao was not afraid of Shang Li's questioning, he was afraid that Shang Li would not say anything, and then it would be difficult for him to answer.

"Well, it seems that the Ling Mansion is also profound. Shang Li's tone was a little more praised, this is also the quality of the host's family, if there are diners in the house who are stronger than their own, then they have to praise each other on the spot.

I have to say that the nobility of this era is still too simple, and even this kind of thing is to praise each other in person......

"So, what are these strange things, and what can make Ling Gongzi so fascinated?"

"This is the first one, is the overseas accidentally collected peppercorns, this thing is born with a very scorched taste, just can be used as a condiment in the food, the yield is also very high, do not hide from Miss Shang said, in the next farmer planting only half a month, it has harvested nearly 200 acres of yield, today in the next venture to visit, let people pick the latest fresh pepper produced in the morning, specially to send to the business, in order to show the sincerity of the next to cooperate today. ”

"Well, Ling Gongzi can have such a mind, and he can harvest such strange things, it is indeed a heart, I heard that Ling Zun is busy with business all the year round, so he often can't return home, and Brother Ling is also away all year round because of his military service, but is there such a thing?"

"Miss Shang's news is really well-informed, her father and brother are busy, only in Xia Fu is at home, often panicked, only in front of people to pretend to be not doing business, nonsense appearance, lest she will be caught by someone with a heart one day, mocking, shame on the Ling Mansion, it can be regarded as sharing a little burden for the father and brother, now, in the next focus on farming, planting, but I think it is quite interesting. Ling Hao said very politely.

"Well, Ling Gongzi can have such a mind, he must also be a smart person, but Ling Gongzi is not the right way to do this after all, it is still necessary to be familiar with the way of businessmen like Ling Zun, and it is only serious to inherit the family business from Ling Zun. ”。

"Miss Shang is right, I remember it below. ”

"So, what is the second item?" Shang Li then asked.
