106 was targeted
Li Shuhua soon received Gu Haotian's letter. I have to say that Gu Haotian's words are very beautiful, and his pen is as sharp as his person, but the wording looks humble at first glance, but in fact, there is a high toughness between the lines.
Li Shuhua was so angry that the meaning of the letter was very simple, that is, he took a fancy to 'Yipinxian' and wanted to buy it, so let Li Shuhua make a price. After Li Shuhua read it, she was so angry that she almost tore up the letter.
It's just too deceitful!
She had no choice but to go to Li Guangcai again and ask him for help. When the letter was delivered, Shang Jinxiu and Lan Qi were not there, and Li Shuhua didn't want the two to know about it, so she went to Li's house in a carriage alone.
Li Guangcai was also so angry that he couldn't speak when he read the letter, he didn't expect this eldest young master of the Gu family to be so domineering. However, both of them think that the Gu family has a big business, and they should not look at the small 'Yipin Xian'. They will attack 'Yipin Xian', and they can't get rid of He Yuanfang.
This wronged He Yuanfang, until the letter was sent out of the ancient mansion, He Yuanfang did not see Gu Yunhai. It's just that Li Guangcai and Li Shuhua couldn't imagine that Gu Haotian would be interested in 'Yipinxian'.
Speaking of which, Li Shuhua was reluctant to open too many branches at the beginning, firstly, because she was worried that the spices would not be able to keep up, and secondly, she was worried that she would anger her peers. After all, the business of 'Yipinxian' is so good that people can't do it without blushing.
In fact, it is not only 'Xiangmanlou' that is deliberately imitating 'Yipinxian', but also some other restaurants are also deliberately imitating. However, they have neither a recipe nor many 'Yipinxian' ingredients, and no matter how deliberately they imitate them, their business cannot be compared with 'Yipinxian'.
However, the He family's 'ambition' is huge, but it takes only three years. The branches are about to open all over Qingzhou.
Li Shuhua thought that she was cautious enough, but she didn't expect to be targeted. And. The other party is still the richest man in Qingzhou, and the big business is not comparable to the businessman and the Li family.
Li Guangcai put down the letter. Asked Li Shuhua: "What are your plans?" ”
Li Shuhua looked worried, but there was a resolute look in her eyes. She hesitated for a long time before she said: "Dad, my daughter won't hide it from you, 'Yipinxian' is Xiu'er's hard work, and many of the things in it are all thought up by her, and my daughter doesn't want Xiu'er's hard work to be in vain, so she was robbed like this." Even if it's an ancient family, it's not good! ”
She paused at this point. Only then did he ask with anxiety and apprehension: "Dad, do you have a way?" ”
Li Guangcai sighed, his brows furrowed tightly, and his face was embarrassed: "Shuhua, since you said so, my father won't blame you, this matter is not easy to handle." The one who wrote to you is Gu Yunhai's eldest son and his intended heir. This kid is said to be able to write and martial arts. Gu Yunhai treated him as an eyeball. Now that he has taken a fancy to 'Yipin Xian', even if we don't agree, Gu Yunhai will force us to agree. ”
Li Shuhua thought of her daughter and suddenly became excited: "Is there no way at all?" ”
Li Guangcai's eyes were red when he saw her. His eyes were full of tears, and he was about to cry at any time, so he hurriedly comforted: "What are you anxious about!" The solution was figured out by people. You reply to him first, don't say death. Drag it first. I'll find a way to find someone to help me talk about it and see if I can solve this problem. ”
Li Shuhua looked at him guiltily: "Dad." Is your daughter causing you trouble? ”
Li Guangcai glared at her and said angrily: "What stupid things are you talking about?" I'm your dad! Isn't it normal for you to have trouble looking for me? Besides, compared to the things your father and I experienced back then, you are not a problem! Don't think about it, go back to him and write a letter to him first, remember not to say dead, and then just wait for my news. ”
He said it easily, but Li Shuhua knew that this matter would definitely not be easy to handle. It's just that she really has no other way now, even if she feels guilty, she can only turn to Li Guangcai for help.
Thinking of this, Li Shuhua choked up: "Dad, it's all daughters who are unfilial, and they always cause trouble for you." ”
Li Guangcai was so angry that he blew his beard and glared: "You said that you are a girl, you are not too young, you have children, and you still cry at every turn!" I told you to wait for the news, but you can't trust your father and me? ”
Li Shuhua hurriedly shook her head and said another good thing before coaxing Li Guangcai. At this time, Li Wangshi walked in, she walked up to Li Shuhua and patted her hand and comforted: "Your father is right, don't worry, leave this matter to your father." ”
Li Shuhua nodded, and the family tacitly stopped mentioning this topic. She didn't stay in Li's house for too long, and Li Wang's family still wanted to keep her for dinner, but Li Shuhua was worried about the children at home, so she didn't agree, seeing that the time was almost up, she said goodbye to Li Guangcai and his wife, and went back in a carriage.
As soon as she left, the smile on Li Wang's face faded, and she asked Li Guangcai worriedly: "How sure are you about this matter?" ”
Li Guangcai sighed: "I won't hide it from you, this time the matter is really tricky, the Gu family is not easy to get along with, I am only thirty percent sure." ”
Li Wang couldn't help but glared at him: "Then you still promise?" ”
Li Guangcai said confidently: "Shuhua is my own daughter, Xiu'er is my precious granddaughter, I don't agree, do you want to watch them being bullied by the stinky boy surnamed Gu?" Besides, if I don't agree, the first one who can't spare me is you, don't think I don't know the way! ”
Li Wang's face turned red and glared at him fiercely: "What nonsense are you talking about!" At this point, her tone changed, "You should do your best in this matter, be careful." If it really doesn't work, it's a big deal that I don't want to get rid of this old face, and go and beg my former master. She is a kind-hearted person, and if I ask her, she will not care. ”
Li Guangcai was unwilling, he didn't want to wronged Li Wang's family. The husband and wife quarreled for a while, and after the last time, Li Wangshi promised him that as long as he didn't open his mouth, she would not be able to write a letter to his former master asking for help.
When Li Shuhua returned home, Shang Jinxiu and Lan Qi were already there. She originally didn't want Shang Jinxiu to know about it, but she couldn't hide it from Shang Jinxiu's eyes. Even though Li Shuhua forced a smile, Shang Jinxiu could still see that she was worried.
Shang Jinxiu asked directly: "Mother, did something happen?" ”
Li Shuhua smiled unnaturally and denied: "No, you think too much, nothing happens." ”
However, the more she emphasized this, the more Shang Jinxiu knew that something bad must have happened. She pulled Li Shuhua and didn't let go: "Mother, tell me, what's going on?" ”
Li Shuhua looked down at her daughter, who had reached her chest, touched her head and hugged her into her arms, took a deep breath and said: "Xiu'er, someone has taken a fancy to our 'Yipin Xian', we can't afford to offend that person, what do you say?" ”
Shang Jinxiu's eyes were cold, she didn't look up, she just asked, "Is it the Gu family?" ”
Li Shuhua didn't hide it anymore, and told the Gu family in one breath that he wanted to buy 'Yipin Xian'. After speaking, she was afraid that Shang Jinxiu would be worried, so she said again: "Xiu'er, don't worry, my mother has already gone to find your grandfather, and he will help us." ”
Shang Jinxiu knew that this matter must be very tricky for Li Guangcai. Otherwise, Li Guangcai would not have deliberately reduced the scale of his business in order to avoid the Gu family over the years.
Li Guangcai did this clearly for them, so she couldn't make Li Guangcai embarrassed.
Anyway, what she has in her hand, Qingzhou Governor Du Yuzhang will definitely be very interested. Using it as a bargaining chip, Du Yuzhang should be happy to help them solve this trouble.
So Shang Jinxiu said: "Mother, I have a way, you tell your grandfather not to be busy." Shang Jinxiu's abacus is very good, since she has a way, naturally she can't let Li Guangcai ask for friends in business and owe unnecessary favors.
Li Shuhua looked at Shang Jinxiu in surprise and didn't believe her words. She said: "Xiu'er, this matter is no better than others, and it can't be underestimated. Even your grandfather isn't completely sure, what can you do? ”
Shang Jinxiu asked Li Shuhua to bow her head, and then leaned into her ear and said a few words. She kept her voice low, just because she didn't want others to know about it. Li Shuhua was even more surprised after hearing this, and grabbed Shang Jinxiu tightly and asked, "Xiu'er, what you just said is true or false?" ”
Shang Jinxiu nodded: "Of course it's true, no one else knows about this matter, mother, you can keep it secret." Let's hurry up and talk to my grandfather so that he doesn't have to bother. ”
Li Shuhua nodded cautiously, understanding Shang Jinxiu's concerns. Since they have a way, they naturally can't let Li Guangcai owe unnecessary debts.
After lunch, Li Shuhua took Shang Jinxiu to Li's house. When she arrived, Li Guangcai was writing a post. Li Guangcai was very surprised when he saw them, and couldn't figure out why Li Shuhua came again so quickly.
He immediately guessed that something must have happened, but his guess was the opposite. He got up from his seat worriedly and asked as he walked, "Is there another accident?" Could it be that the Gu family has news again? ”
Li Shuhua shook her head: "Dad, that's the case, Xiu'er said that she has a way to solve this matter." So my daughter came to tell you, you still don't interfere in this matter. ”
Li Guangcai glanced at her suspiciously, then looked at Shang Jinxiu and asked, "Xiu'er, what did you tell your grandfather?" What can you do? ”
It's not that he doesn't believe in Shang Jinxiu, it's just that Li Guangcai feels that this time the matter is too tricky, and it can't be solved by Shang Jinxiu's little girl. What he was most afraid of was that Li Shuhua was unwilling to burden him, so he was ready to carry it alone.
Shang Jinxiu knew that with Li Guangcai's concern for them, if she didn't explain it, Li Guangcai would definitely not believe it. So she walked over and pulled Li Guangcai to sit on the chair, and then leaned close to him and said, "Grandpa, that's the case, I have something in my hand, so I can ask the prefect to help us." ”
Li Guangcai still can't figure it out, the Gu family is the richest man in Qingzhou, and his family has a lot of money. Du Yuzhang, the prefect of Qingzhou, is also from a big family, Shang Jinxiu is a little girl, what treasure can she have in her hand, can make Du Yuzhang tempted, and even fight to offend the ancient family to help them?
Du Yuzhang is naturally not afraid of the Gu family, but who will push the silver out of his hand?
He looked at Shang Jinxiu puzzled, but saw Shang Jinxiu smile mysteriously. (To be continued......)
