After leaving the Nanqu Mo family's house, Yang Li went to Fangdongquli, and in order to operate the affairs of Pingkang Fang nearby, she simply bought a spare house in the Fang to live temporarily.

Now the center of the imperial court is located in Luoyang, the capital of the gods, and many high-ranking officials have also settled in Luoyang, but not every family can use it calmly, and in order to enrich the eunuch bag, the old mansion in Xijing will be sold. After all, there is still a benefit of production in the garden industry outside the city, and the mansion in the city is just a living place, and people are idle when they go to the house, so there are a lot of empty houses in Xijing, and the business is calm.

But it is really rare for someone like Yang Li to buy a mansion in Xijing Haofang just for the convenience of a short stay.

This mansion covers an area of more than 20 acres, which can be called a mansion in Shendu City, but it is only ordinary in Xijing City. However, because it is located in Pingkangfang, it is also very valuable.

"The fourth lady is back? Is things going well? Have you ever seen the king? ”

Yang Li walked into the house, and her own maidservant stepped forward and asked with curiosity on her face.

Yang Li raised her hand and pinched the pink face of the little maid: "Not only did I see it, but I also boasted to the king that I have a beautiful maid in my family, Ah Guisi is crazy in love, and I can't wait to take off and slip into the banquet!" ”

"The slave didn't! It's clearly a lady's ......"

When the maid heard this, her tender face was ashamed, and she covered her face and said angrily: "If it weren't for the fact that the lady kept shouting day and night and dreaming, how would the maid know that there are still people called the king of Hedong in the world?" In order to invite the lady, the two mansions in Xijing must be exhausted, and the one who has to take off ......"

"The evil maid still dares to talk back! Do you see which slave in Xijing Gaomen is so presumptuous? I'll sell you tomorrow! ”

Yang Li raised her hand to cover the maid's unscrupulous mouth, her pretty face was a little blushing, and she grabbed the maid's hair and swayed: "Hurry up and get me a shirt and skirt, wearing a tight beard suit, I can't breathe!" ”

"It's not that the lady is willful, she said at home that she would go out and find Erlangjun first, but she stayed in Xijing and sold others. If you find Erlangjun early, how can you use your lady to walk and work hard! ”

The little maid is a slave, and because she is loved by her master and disciplined less, she can't help but shake her slender body proudly: "The maid is not fat, and it doesn't matter what she wears." ”

Yang Li sneered when she heard this: "I'm going to look for him?" If I really want to be seen, it's true to break his hands and feet! I only went to play, I didn't see a trace for a few years, I didn't think about any family affairs, and I dared to send a letter to my family to ask for money! ”

While speaking, she raised her hand and pressed it on the servant girl's flat chest, and the corners of her mouth twitched: "Ah Gui, Ah Gui, you will only be named Ah Jiang in the future, and it will be dried in the air." ”

"How can this be! I'm Aye, I'm called Ajiang. ”

The maid smiled and covered her breasts and pushed it away, and took out her shirt and skirt from the inner room.

After a while, Yang Li took off her robe and changed her skirt, and the whole person was even more charming, sitting in the middle of the hall serving tea and drinking slowly, pointing to the maidservant and asking, "Ah Jiang Ah Jiang, have you Aye Lao Jiang come back?" ”

The maid was changed by her master's name, and her face was full of displeasure, but she just muttered, "How can it be so fast!" Dozens of truckloads of goods are to be reversed! These Xijing women are also really valuable, and it costs so much money just to use them once. The lady spares no things, and she should spare her strength. ”

The two of them were still gossiping, and the doorman left to tell that there was a visitor here, and Yang Li got up and went to the porch to greet the guests.

The guest was a young man in his early twenties, and when he saw Yang Li waiting under the porch, he quickly stepped forward and said, "The fourth lady is good." ”

"I just talked to my family about going to the house to visit, but I didn't realize that my brother had already come first, which was really rude."

Although Yang Li is a woman to entertain guests, she is not inhibited, she raised her hand to invite the guests to the hall, and after they sat down, they smiled and said: "Brother Shi is from the famous king today, I think it is very popular and enviable." ”

"It's still not as heroic as the fourth lady, it's really surprising!"

The young man named Huang Fuduan is one of the noble sons who followed the young king into the city today, if it weren't for his messengers, even if Yang Li had a huge amount of goods to spare, it would be impossible to grasp the young king's itinerary so clearly.

"A little clumsy is laughing, but fortunately it is not self-defeating. It's just that I heard that there seems to be a reconciliation between the king and the left-behind guards, so I don't know if the people of Xijing are satisfied with this situation? ”

Yang Li raised her hand and humbled herself after hearing this, although she didn't tell the truth to the Mo family, she didn't hide much from what she said.

His family is indeed a merchant in Shuzhong, not a noble court between the two capitals. But being able to raise and use such a large amount of goods in such a short period of time is naturally not an ordinary businessman.

Its home is Chengdu in Shuzhong, and the business route is under and Nanzhao Zhuman, up to the states in Guannei, Xijing Chang'an is also a very important business place, and there is no lack of business dealings with the Guanlong Zhuxun Guimen.

But even if he is wealthy, after all, he is only a businessman in the opposition, and he does not have any officialdom momentum. Yang Li went north to Xijing this time, but also because the family business encountered difficulties, and was suppressed by the villagers by taking advantage of the official situation, so she had to go north to find assistance.

But he is just a businessman, and he is still a woman, even if he pays a generous tribute to the noble court, the neglect and contempt he receives can be imagined. There are few people who are really willing to help, but there are many others.

This time, she used heavy goods and invited Pingkang Zhuyi to make such a big battle to welcome the young king, and there were many reasons.

One of the reasons is not to elevate the reputation of the young king and slightly frustrate the arrogance of Xijing to stay behind Wu Youyi, this level of intrigue is naturally not something that she can easily involve as a daughter of a businessman, and the more important intention is to vote for those Guan Longxun nobles.

Of course, she also understands that it is very risky to offend Wu Youyi, but not to mention that the other party has a high position and may not care about her small actions of a businessman, and there is still the shadow of the Shendu Wu family standing behind her hometown Qiu Portal, and more importantly, her family's business affairs are closely related to the Guan Longxun noble court, and it is difficult to change the court.

For those Guan Longxungui, business dealings with her family are just a piece of idle money, but for her family, winning the greater support of these families is an important help to get through the difficulties.

Choosing to do this, Yang Li did not have the idea of directly befriending the king of Hedong in her heart, but she thought that this possibility was very small. That king was of noble birth and outstanding talent, how could he care about a merchant family far away in Shu?

Hearing Yang Li's question, Huangfu shook his head with a wry smile: "Don't hide it from the fourth lady, after my father died in the eunuch journey, the court has been cold for a long time. If it weren't for the recent help of the four ladies, I am afraid that I would not be able to meet the famous king this time. I'm ashamed not to be able to say it's helpful. ”

"Brother Shi doesn't have to feel guilty about this, whether he helps or not, it will not damage the old righteousness of the two families. Therefore, the prince of the house does not hand over because of the cold and ugly countryside of his father, even if the ancestors are far away, the descendants must cherish this old feeling. Brother Shi, you are famous and high-quality, and you are trapped only for a while, but you can be broad and enterprising, and the way is only in the first step. ”

Although Huangfu didn't hear any useful information here, Yang Li was still kind enough to comfort him.

Her family is also in a difficult situation now, her father died in Annan, and there is no adult in the household. Although there were a few people in the previous generation, most of them could not keep their families and careers, but they never forgot the division of family wealth, so that the villagers deceived their families and oppressed them diligently.

In such a situation, she went north to ask for help, and those in power were indifferent and could communicate with each other, such as the emperor in front of her, who couldn't help much.

But even so, she didn't dare to underestimate the other party. Although the power is no longer there, there are still connections, and it can be expected to be appreciated again in any year. Even if you can't help in the present, you should only accumulate good fortune for the future.

"Yes, Brother Shi has taken a turn for the better? I heard that the king of Hedong and the left-behind merchant Yoyah, what room is there for this? ”

After hearing this, Huangfu shook his head and sighed, and said: "Although I have traveled for a short time, what I have seen is disappointing, and I can only say that the reputation of the king is too real. King Yong indulged in pleasure, and was greedy for material gains, and invited famous families, regardless of the world's diseases and disadvantages, but talked about business and cheap business. I, I don't mean the four ladies, your family in Shuzhong Township, the fields are not enough to support, it is inevitable to sell goods and prosper, and the world is persecuted, and there is no way to ......"

When Yang Li heard this, her eyes flickered slightly, and her face was still full of smiles: "Therefore, the righteousness is long, and the world brother does not have to argue." But since the younger brother intends to rectify the family business, it is also expedient and wise to take advantage of the situation to make up for the vacancy, if there is a lack of money, I can ...... here."

"No, no! The family is in the middle of the road, and I have already been cold-eyed, and if I get a cheap business again, I will stain the innocence of my father and ancestors even more! ”

Hearing Huangfu say this, the little maid next to her opened her mouth to speak, but was stopped by Yang Li's sideways eyes, and just smiled: "Brother Shi's ability to keep simplicity is really admirable." ”

After hearing this, the emperor was also quite self-conscious, and sighed again: "It's just that it doesn't dishonor the ancestors, and it doesn't make up for the personnel." ”

Speaking of this, he stopped talking again, and said a little shyly: "I came to see the fourth lady today to say goodbye." King Siyong is greedy for goods, King Hedong is obsessed with Fengyue, and King Guanghan is cold, all of which are not examples of Zongzhi that can make people's hearts break. I want to go east to Shendu to find another way out, parting is imminent, it is inevitable to be hurt, please ask the four ladies are willing to go to Shendu and take care of each other......"

"The brother's affectionate invitation really makes me grateful, but the family business is difficult for me, and I can't be calm, so I can only regret the invitation. When the world brother leaves Beijing, please send someone to report, and then have another qualification, although he does not express his intentions, he is also in love. ”

While speaking, she made a gesture to the maid with her hand behind her skirt, and the maid clapped her hands busily when she saw this: "Lady, lady, I almost forgot, there is still urgent business waiting for you in the back house!" ”

Seeing this, Huangfu frowned suddenly: "The four ladies are all good, but the door is a little underdone." Such a wicked maid, why bother to stay by her side! ”

"Let the world brother laugh!"

Yang Li stood up from the banquet, apologized a few times, and when she left the Huangfu end, after returning to the hall, she was already gritting her teeth, clenching her fists with both hands, pointing at the maidservant and saying viciously: "Why didn't you hand over the knife at that time, let me chop this stupid thing alive!" ”

"Lady really dare? You can let my Aya enter the workshop tonight, he won't live tomorrow! ”

The maidservant Ah Gui also looked angry.

After Yang Li heard this, her face turned sneered, and she pointed to the mat that Huangfu had just sat on: "Burn these sheets for me, and they will be gray outside the court, and I will be tired of seeing them more!" ”

"Then do you want to send him money?" The maidservant asked again.

"Send it, send it away, it's useless to hurt and complain for a while, and let others slander me. It is already difficult to enter the high court, and if he is allowed to say that I am stingy in Shu, it will hurt people even more. ”

Yang Li waved her hand impatiently and said.
