But it's one thing to know this, it's another thing to do it. Liu Bao, the household waiter who was urged and really had no choice, could only gamble with luck. I hope that after the gambling grain is put away in a big way, the people in the market will not have time to react, and the price will not rise so fast.

But this is simply an unlikely thing, all the year round in the mall, the people who can get ahead are the best of the best. Any disturbance in the market will never be hidden from their eyes.

Although with the current level of knowledge, there is no very rigorous talk about supply and demand, but people who do business all year round will have such a feeling that if there are fewer things, they will definitely sell more expensive. After all, it is a truth that has been passed down since ancient times.

Knowing that this was an extravagant hope, Liu Bao had to gamble, because the people of the world not only included Luo Tianfu, but also the entire Jin Dynasty.

"Why don't I go and ask King Qing for help?" can have the current situation, it can be said that most of it is due to Li Xie. And Liu Bao estimates that the current situation should also be expected by Li Xie, so it is necessary to discuss it with Li Xie.

"It's better to ......" Li Zhanji was silent for a while, and did not say yes, but he did not refuse. Li Zhanji really wanted to say that he was getting married now, so it was better not to disturb him in the next few days. But after all, this is a matter that concerns the lives of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people, and Li Zhanji really can't open his mouth.

Li Zhanji was silent, which can be understood as acquiescence, but it can also be understood as being unhappy and not wanting to pay attention to it. Liu Bao still has a hand in guessing his intentions, but Li Zhanji also has a tangled look on his face at this time, and there is not much information to speculate.

"Resignation?" Liu Bao asked tentatively, at this time, he said that he was undoubtedly going to find Li Xie. If Li Zhanji agrees, then it is a tacit consent, if he does not agree, of course Liu Bao will have to make this trip, but he does not dare to use Li Zhanji's name.

Li Zhanji didn't speak again, but got up and left.

This is another ambiguous answer, Liu Bao thought about it, and felt that it was better to test it in the name of a private person. The prince of the Jin Dynasty easily did not participate in politics, and Liu Bao did not get Li Zhanji's permission, and he did not dare to go as a household servant.

This is walking down the street depressed, thinking hard about what excuse it would be better to visit, and go directly as a private person, of course. But it will undoubtedly give others a sense that Liu Bao, the servant of his household, supports Li Xie.

And Liu Bao is notoriously withdrawn, and rarely gets close to others. So this visit was really a distressing thing. It is necessary to be unobtrusive and serve the purpose.

Liu Bao couldn't help complaining at this time, why was Li Xie's birth so bad, you said that in this Luotian Mansion, any imperial magnate, which son's identity will be more restricted than the emperor's son's identity?

Liu Bao thought distressedly, and suddenly, he saw two women walking together, walking towards him with his wrists and hands. An idea popped into my mind.

walked briskly to the house, and before he entered the house, he asked the servant next to him, "Is the young lady still in the house?" "Normally, Liu Bao's discipline is quite strict, and her daughter is generally not allowed to go out of the house at will. But Liu Yuanbao is Cao Ying's younger sister, and Cao Ying is now about to get married. Liu Yuanbao ran out every once in a while on the grounds that she wanted to go to her house to help.

And this is also human nature, Liu Bao doesn't say much, so he has always adhered to a tacit attitude.

"It's still there, but I guess I'm about to go out. Just now, the young lady also instructed to prepare the carriage! ”

"Let Miss come to the study to find me before leaving the house." As he spoke, he turned his head and walked in the direction of the study.

Liu Yuanbao is innocent and romantic, but he still listens to Liu Bao, a strict father. So to prepare, Liu Yuanbao, who was leaving now, had to mumble and come to the study.

"What's wrong with my father?" Before anyone entered the door, they couldn't wait to ask. The intention is nothing more than to let Liu Bao finish her speech quickly, and she will go out after speaking.

"You're not too young, so can't you be more steady?" Liu Bao reprimanded him lightly, there is only such a lone seedling in the family, and Liu Bao is reluctant to scold too much, so the general reprimand and discipline of Liu Baobao is also so light and serious.

"I'm pretty steady. I haven't been on the streets lately. Liu Yuanbao replied with a smile, she really hasn't gone to the street to buy things for more than ten days.

"Alas, forget it! Are you going to Cao Mansion now? "Generally, everyone is not allowed to go out of the house before leaving the cabinet, unless it is a major festival, such as the sacrifice during the Qingming Festival, the night of the Qixi Festival, and the downtown on New Year's Day.

So I haven't been out of the house for more than ten days, what kind of stability can I be regarded as?

"That's right!"

"This King Qing, have you been to Cao's house?"

"Father, are you confused? The two of them are going to get married, how can they have a relationship? ”

"You just tell the truth." Liu Bao has the demeanor of a person who has come over, who hasn't had a time when they are happy? At such a time, can two people who cherish each other endure not to meet?

"It's really not, so my senior sister ran to the city at two ends for three days." Liu Yuanbao said this helplessly.

"That's really a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows!" Liu Bao sighed in a very low voice. Of course, this voice was so low that even Liu Yubao, who was standing in front of him, couldn't hear it.

"Father, what are you muttering?"

"It's nothing, since King Qing has never been to Cao's Mansion, then that means that on the day of the wedding, the specific time and process have not been discussed, right?" Liu Bao, the imperial magnate, didn't know, after all, he was also from a Qingping family. But in the people, such things are generally discussed by the matchmaker or the host herself.

Of course, most of them are also discussed by the elders above, but Li Xie's elder is Li Zhanji, and of course this process cannot be carried out by him. So it's very likely that he came by himself, or the hosts who handled these marriages.

"And such a process?"

"Yes, yes, it depends on whether they can move around or not. Let's go, I'll accompany you today. Liu Bao got up and walked out.

Liu Yubao followed Liu Bao out in a daze, unable to understand why his father was suddenly so concerned about this matter.

The two went out of the city in a carriage and came to Cao's mansion, and Liu Bao did not take a shelf when he came to visit, but sent a greeting post very carefully. The Cao family went out very enthusiastically, opened the door, and welcomed people in.

Sitting down, the two families were polite for a while, and then Liu Bao asked Cao's father: "I heard that the flowers in the garden of the house are blooming very well, I don't know if there is a fate today, take a look!" ”

Because of the relationship between Liu Yuanbao and Cao Ying, the two families have been back and forth several times. Under Cao's father's intention to date, Liu Bao and Cao's father have some friendship. Liu Bao's question at this time was not abrupt.

"I don't dare to ask for it."

Liu Yuanbao sat here with her father, and she was impatient for a long time. I heard that the two of them are going to visit what garden, what is there to see in this garden? To see those flowers and plants, it is better to have two tricks with Cao Ying!

"Father, I'm not going, I'm going to play with my senior sister?"

"Brother Cao, look at what I'm used to on weekdays, I don't understand the rules at all, and I don't have the appearance of a lady." Liu Bao didn't say yes or no, but said that there were no rules. And he said it to Cao's father, and this was undoubtedly to ask Cao's father if it was okay.

"It's all my own family, and I don't know what rules I talk about. Since Bao'er can't sit still, let's go, it just so happens that Ying'er can't go out at home these days, I'm afraid it's stuffy. Father Cao said happily that he was blushing.

The fairy hasn't been out for a few days, and he secretly dated his lover last night.

Liu Bao and Cao's father came to the pavilion in the garden together, and after doing this, they didn't see a few flowers, and Liu Bao talked about the things outside Luotianfu.

Liu Bao and Cao's father did not have a deep relationship, and they only began to have contacts after Cao Ying and their family came to settle in Luotianfu. But judging from the only few interactions, Liu Bao can also see that although Cao's father is idle at home and lives a leisurely life as a rich man, he still has a bit of the scholarly spirit of a scholar.

Although he no longer has the intention of being an official, he still has compassion for the common people.

So this complaint can be said to be poked at the soft place in Cao's father's heart. After complaining about the things outside Luotianfu, he began to complain about the rare balance in the Luotianfu market.

Then he began to tell himself how difficult it was to collect grain now. After complaining, the father of Cao frowned. After Liu Bao finished speaking, Father Cao pondered for a moment and then said:

"Brother Liu, don't worry too much, there are hundreds of stones of food in my house, if Brother Liu needs it, just let someone come and get it."

When Cao Zhixiang was abducted and trafficked, although he took out all his family funds, he still recovered some of them in the end. Later, in order to befriend his father-in-law, Li Xie also helped the Cao family's business.

How big Li Xie's current business is, some leaks from her hands are enough, and the Cao family is enough to make a lot of money. Therefore, in the past year, the Cao family has become richer and richer.

And now the price of Luotianfu was not very high at that time, and the Cao family could still do it with one or two hundred stones of grain. Of course, now Cao's father doesn't take care of things much, if he wants to come up with more, of course he can do it, but he has to go to his daughter to ask for money.

Of course, he can still open his mouth about his own daughter, but there is no need not to. Although Cao's father still has the world in his heart at this time, it is just a feeling in the end. So when doing this kind of thing, it's quite within my means.

"That's really thanks Brother Cao, but there are so many people in one group, not to mention that there are so many areas affected by the disaster this time. More than 30 percent of the areas north of the Dragon River are affected by the disaster, and this food is far from enough. Liu Bao smiled bitterly and thanked him while talking.

"Then ......" The Cao family hesitated, gritted their teeth and wanted to take out more food.

"Brother Cao misunderstood, in fact, I didn't come to ask for food this time. I hope that Brother Cao can invite King Qing to the house in the name of discussing the specific process on the wedding day. He is responsible for the fact that the market is in such a situation that it is today, and I believe that he will be able to raise more food. ”

Liu Bao saw Cao's father like this and knew that it was a misunderstanding, obviously when he had just complained about the situation of grain circulation in the market. praised Li Xie to the sky, why didn't Father Cao think of him at this time?

"But these have already been discussed by others, if you want to find King Qing, why don't you go directly to his mansion." It is not accurate to say that the discussion is not accurate, but it should be said that after everything was settled, someone notified them. After all, it is to marry the prince, and all the ceremonies should still be handled in accordance with the royal etiquette.

"Brother Cao's thinking is too simple, it is not clear who His Majesty will appoint as the crown prince now, although King Qing already has a fief. It's going to be soon, but now it's not leaving. There are two brothers above King Qing, and he has a fief. Moreover, King Qing also lives in the former Longxing Mansion of the Holy Lord, which shows His Majesty's love for King Qing.

In the case that the situation is not obvious, I am also a household servant, in charge of the world's tax and financial power, how can I easily be involved with a prince? If I visit me today, I'll be the king tomorrow.

Because His Majesty wants to deal with the family, now I am walking on thin ice above the court, for fear of taking a wrong step, if those people from the family are caught again on the charge of befriending the prince, I am afraid that my life will be even more difficult. ”

Liu Bao is now completely out of charge with Cao's father, an idle person.

"I didn't expect Brother Liu's life to be so sad, okay, I'll fix a book and ask King Qing to come over and talk about it." Father Cao heard Liu Bao say this, and he didn't care about any etiquette or etiquette at the moment, auspicious or unlucky.

immediately got up and walked in the direction of the study, and Liu Baodang also got up and followed. Before he could enter the study, he heard the sound of two women discussing inside.

"Really?"

"That's still false, I'll tell you......"

Listening to this voice, it should be the daughter of the two, no doubt.

They were all their own daughters, and the two old fathers had nothing to avoid, so they turned a corner and came to the main entrance, and walked in.

"What really?" Before Liu Baoren entered the study, it had already been passed in. This suspicion interrupted the conversation between the two women inside.

In the discussion between these two people, Liu Bao faintly felt that her daughter should have made excuses for herself. Otherwise, it's called being a thief, just two words without a shadow. Liu Bao can think of his own excuses.

After greeting each other, Cao's father walked to the desk, picked up a letter, picked up a brush and brushed it and began to write. After writing in a few words, I blew it gently, and when the ink dried, I couldn't wait to fold it and stuff it into the envelope.

"Someone...... coming" Cao's father called for someone as soon as he opened his mouth, but he didn't wait for anyone to come in. changed his words, after all, King Yi's Mansion is not an ordinary family. Li Xie's current identity is not something that everyone has seen. Although Cao Ying and Li Xie are about to get married, they haven't married yet, right?

And there is a rule for everything, and there are more rules for the Yiwang Mansion. If this letter was sent out casually, who knows if it could be handed to Li Xie.

Li Xie read the letter, according to the usual time, in terms of his respect for his old father-in-law, Cao's father was still sure that Li Xie would come over immediately. But if this letter is not handed over to Li Xie, it will be useless to say more:

"Ying'er, you are familiar with King Yi's Mansion, so you should send someone to send it over. This letter must be handed over to King Qing. ”

"Is there anything my father is looking for him?" If he was usually respectful to his father, he would have been sent over at this time, but when people came to the house this morning, Cao Ying also said: "Your father-in-law doesn't want to see you!" "I kicked them out for the reason. At this time, it was not dark yet, and she wanted a letter to go to someone's house, could Cao Ying ask more questions without being weak?

"It's your Uncle Liu who has something important to look for him, don't delay, quickly ask someone to send it." Cao Ying still has some status at home, even if it is so to the bottom of the question. Cao's father also explained, although the explanation was unclear.

"Good!" Of course, Cao Ying will not continue to ask questions without a clue. After all, if you ask once, it can be said to be curiosity, but if you ask twice, you will not give face. Not to mention that there are outsiders now, to save some face for his father, even when there are no outsiders, Cao Ying can't do this kind of thing to disgrace his father's face.

Immediately appointed a person who often accompanied her into the city to deliver the letter. I believe that with the familiarity of his face, he can accurately deliver this letter to Li Xie.

It's just that after such a person sent the letter out, Cao Ying's cheeks were a little red when he didn't come. In the morning, I said that your father-in-law didn't want to see you, and before getting married, the man came to the woman's house and sent them away.

How long has it been? The letter that asked the family to visit the house was handed to the person, which is the rhythm of slapping the face! The more Cao Ying thought about it, the more embarrassed she became, and immediately decided that Li Xie would not see him when he came.

After Cao Ying made this decision, she pulled Liu Yuanbao and left the study on the grounds that the girl was talking some private words.

Of course, the two old fathers agreed to such a request. Cao Ying left, but the person she called to deliver the letter was stopped by someone in Zaiyi Wangfu not long after.

The gatekeeper is no longer the original two, the rules, there are still some rules, and if they invite people to the side room, they will let people report it.

But after the people entered, they didn't see Li Xie, but saw the housekeeper. The people in this mansion can see it at this time, but this housekeeper is very happy to fight with Li Xie, the king of kings.

If it were another palace, then these subordinates would definitely be on the side of the prince, after all, they are the masters, aren't they? But it was that decree that went bad.
