Chapter 318: Entanglement of Interests (2)
At the same time, Li Yizheng and Qiao Cheng had nothing to say in a side hall of the inner house, the two of them were of the same age, but Li Yi lacked heart and eyes, on the contrary, Qiao Cheng was not very old, but he was a guy with a sharpened head and a money eye.
As soon as Bai Liyan arrived outside the verandah, she was upset in her heart, and she heard Qiao Cheng selling soap to Li Yi again It is a good thing, but it seems that this thing is not your family's patent, you sell soap, have you asked me.
"Ahem......"
Bai Liyan coughed, Qiao Cheng was immediately taken aback, and quickly got up to hide the panic in his heart.
"Hehe, General Wei, this son is polite."
"Little Marquis, this is ......"
"Oh, I heard that Liang Guo is rich on the first side, so I want to sell some Xianguo goods to Liang Guo in the future. General Wei came just in time, why don't you give an idea? ”
Qiao Cheng kicked the ball back to Bai Liyan, as if it had already been decided.
"Little Marquis, this national disaster is at the head, will this matter be discussed in the future."
"This, if you can open up commercial channels to pay commercial taxes, it is also a move to benefit the country and the people, General Wei thinks."
Bai Liyan (Wei Xian) felt that Qiao Cheng was not very old, but he was very able to speak, and he repeatedly said that it was his reason, but it became his own wrong.
Others don't know, Bailiyan still knows that the business transactions of these royal relatives are more or less tax-free, and even the taxes payable are changing the law to evade taxes.
The business of the Xuanting Hou family is even more so, even the liquor of the Xuanting Pavilion is arranged by the Xian King, and the Imperial Division and the Inner Government are designated to import it from the Liang State and sell it to the Xuanting Hou at the original price, and the profit in the middle can be imagined.
Qiao Cheng's big fart child actually takes himself seriously, and his brother-in-law can easily handle him.
"Little Hou Ye, King Wei is going to be in person, the Hou Mansion will not go today, and I will ask Xiao Hou Ye to convey the Xuan Pavilion Marquis and the princess on my behalf."
"Ahh Qiao Cheng was surprised, and immediately panicked: "General Wei, my mother is looking forward to General Wei's going, how can this make my son explain." ”
"Huh!" Bai Liyan smiled ill-intentionedly: "Wei Mou dare not obey the king's order, please forgive me." ”
"This, this ......"
Qiao Cheng was quite disappointed at this time, the purpose of his visit was to invite Baili Yan to come over the mansion to discuss the marriage of his sister Qiao Fu'er, of course, this matter was naturally Xuanting Hou Qiao Lian and Princess Lan Yuan.
Since it is a marriage, it is definitely necessary to talk about the dowry, although the content of the dowry is not thoroughly explained, but the content that Qiao Cheng revealed openly and secretly before clearly hinted at the price of Xuan Tinghou, and he still wanted the production process of soap. Obviously, the profit of an inch of silver and a half catty of soap is quite considerable, and Xuan Tinghou can't wait to make a big profit.
Bai Liyan directly refused to go to the house for dinner, and the matter of the "dowry" was obviously yellow. Seeing Qiao Cheng stunned there, Bai Liyan felt quite funny in her heart:
"Little Hou Ye, Wei still has some personal matters, I want to discuss with Li Gongzi, and I ask Xiao Hou Ye to avoid it."
"Avoidance? Oh, that's good, I'm leaving. ”
Qiao Cheng reluctantly walked away, and then Li Yi muttered in his heart, is this still the son-in-law of Xuantinghou, so polite.
Just when Li Yi was wondering, Bailiyan closed the door of the house and said mysteriously:
"The rebels have been in turmoil in the past few days, which has frightened Li Gongzi."
"It's okay, the Xianguo can have General Wei, which is really the luck of the Xianguo and the king of Xian. Listening to General Wei's words, he has a private matter, I don't know what the general has in private affairs? ”
Bai Liyan froze and glanced at his nephew:
"That's the case, what does Li Gongzi think of the two Zhou girls?"
"Zhou, Miss Zhou......" Li Yidian was startled, and he didn't expect Bai Liyan to ask him about it, his cheeks were hot, his eyes were rolling, and his chest was beating wildly: "General Wei, you can't talk nonsense about this matter." ”
"Eh, Wei only asked Li Gongzi, how are the Zhou family sisters, Li Gongzi likes it."
"Hehe......" Li Yi smirked and said pertinently: "It's also two beautiful embryos." ”
"So, does Gongzi Li like her sisters?"
Li Yi's cheeks flushed, and he stopped talking, and finally asked carefully:
"I don't know what General Wei means by this?"
"That's the case, Zhou Caidong, that is, the biological father of the Zhou sisters, asked General Ben to be the matchmaker, Wei saw that Li Gongzi was interested in her sister yesterday, so he should undertake this matter."
"Really!" Li Yi reversed his youthful state, as if he had eaten happy beans, and his eyes were full of golden light. Immediately noticed that there was a bit of a gaffe, and immediately reined in the gaffe, and asked shyly in a suppressed voice: "Is General Wei's words serious?" ”
"Eh, for the general's word, how can it be a child's play, Wei only asked Li Gongzi, can there be any intention of the Zhou family sisters, if there is, should be decided as soon as possible, in case something is favored by other sons, or elected into the palace, it will not be beautiful."
"It's really good, it's just that her sisters don't seem to like this son, how can this be done."
"Hahaha......"
Bai Liyan laughed, and Li Yi asked puzzledly:
"Why is General Wei laughing?"
Wei laughed at Li Gongzi's heart being too anxious, which frightened the two sisters of the Zhou family. Li Gongzi didn't want to think about it, these days there has been a shortage of soldiers, countless rapes and looting on the street, and there are even women who are humiliated and screaming miserably at night. ”
The Zhou sisters are not out of the door on weekdays, the little women in the boudoir who do not step out of the second door, rarely have the opportunity to contact strange men, these days the soldiers are chaotic, the rape incidents are endless, and even the woman's miserable screams can be heard at night, the Zhou sisters are still young, and the fear and fear in their hearts can be imagined.
was tricked into the room by Li Yi, the eldest son, if they did something, where could they escape the clutches of the hungry wolf.
"Oh, I see, it's my son's negligence, I'll go and apologize to her sister another day."
"Not only do I want to apologize, I think that the sisters of the Zhou family wore gold beads and silver hairpins, they should be people who like to dress up, and the son may wish to send some jade beads and jewelry to marry the two sisters, so that she will be willing."
"If this can really be done, this son will thank General Wei."
Bai Liyan waved his hand and said:
"Li Gongzi is serious, saying that matchmaking is to accumulate virtue and do good deeds, if it is for money, it is vulgar."
"What General Wei said is very true, but if you don't give it as a gift, my son really can't help it."
"Whether this matter is successful or not, it depends on Antaihou's meaning, if Antaihou does not allow it, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the son's family to agree, it is better to pass the pass of Antaihou first, and then talk about it."
Marriage has always been about the right family, not to mention that the identity of the Li family of Jingshang Gong is already very sensitive, with the background of the Zhou family sisters, it is good to be able to give a concubine in the future, and the side room cannot be counted on at all.
After agreeing with Li Yi about the matter, Bai Liyan then informed Zhou Caidong of the news, and when he heard that Li Yi had already expressed his position, Zhou Caidong's excitement jumped on his face, and he had no intention of hiding it.
