Liu Yong forgot that this was ancient times, and it would be ridiculous to talk about the freedom of marriage. At this time, Lin Qingrou looked at him in a daze, with a look of surprise.

Liu Yong hurriedly collected his anger and said calmly: "Sister Qingrou, don't worry, it's me who is too reckless." ”

"Brother Liu Yong, are you going to think of a way?" Lin Qingrou has already handed over the matter to Liu Yong.

At this time, his two brothers and sisters were already very close.

Liu Yong frowned and sighed: "Right now, your father has a lot of prejudice against me, even if I go to ask for a kiss, he won't agree." ”

"Even if my father has no prejudice against you, he won't agree, because you are too poor." Lin Qingrou couldn't help but sigh again.

Liu Yong sighed and said, "Yes, it seems that this matter is really difficult to handle." ”

Lin Qingrou sat on the chair helplessly, looking at the cherry tree outside the window with a sad brow.

After a while, Liu Yong said: "Sister Qingrou, isn't the one who proposed marriage still here?" You don't have to worry, let's take a step at a time. "There's nothing he can do right now.

"Well, Brother Liu Yong, slaves listen to you." Lin Qingrou looked at Liu Yong, her eyes full of trust. Last night, Niu Rong praised Liu Yong in front of her. In addition, Liu Yong told her before how lonely her family was, and how she came to Meizhou City with Yingying with difficulty without a penny. She really thinks that Liu Yong is so powerful, and this is how worship is established little by little.

This time, Liu Yong walked to Lin Qingrou's side and held her head in his arms, Lin Qingrou did not dodge this time, and let Liu Yong hold her, because her girlish heart had been handed over to Liu Yong.

————————

Lin Hualang found by Liu Yong, Lin Hualang had already known through Niu Rong that Liu Yong had doubled the salt introduction, and when he saw Liu Yong, he said hello first. The four younger brothers even exhausted their words of beauty and almost lifted Liu Yong to the sky. That is, they have no ink on their chests, otherwise Liu Yong will really go to heaven.

When Liu Yong said that he was going to the goods business, Lin Hualang had to follow. Liu Yong hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Hualang, don't stimulate that loser." ”

Lin Hualang laughed and agreed with Liu Yong's statement. Just lost the game last night, and when he saw him again, Brother Hualang, Guo Dequan's lungs were still angry.

In fact, Liu Yong didn't want to go directly to Guo Dequan like this, he wanted him to dissipate his anger first. This time, he mainly went to see Li Dongshan and learn about some information. He instructed Lin Hualang to order a table of wine and food for him in the best restaurant on Meihua Street. Lin Hualang was naturally happy when he heard that there was wine to drink. Zhao Si'er and the others were not happy, because they were not qualified to participate in such an occasion.

Liu Yong took out the usual money and gave it to Zhao Si, asking the four of them to find a place to eat and drink casually. Zhao Si and the others happily took the money, thanked the big brother, and gathered the crowd to leave.

Liu Yong and Lin Hualang also parted ways, one went to order wine and food, and the other went directly to Xinghua Street in Nancheng.

When he came to the front of the Yamen of the Goods Administration, Liu Yong gave the little official who looked at the door dozens of dollars, saying that he had come to find Li Kusi and was his friend, and he hugged his name. Presumably, Li Dongshan must have known him.

The little servant got the money and Luke went to Tongyu, and after a while, Li Dongshan came out with him, and when he saw Liu Yongzi, he was laughing and hugging his fists. After all, have you ever received a gift from someone?

Liu Yong took the opportunity to invite Li Dongshan to the banquet building.

Lin Hualang had already booked a private room, and he would serve the food when Liu Yong came. He drank this tea and waited until Liu Yong and Li Dongshan came to him. Lin Hualang arched his hand and saw Li Dongshan. Li Dongshan looked at Lin Hualang for a while.

"What? Brother Li, are you not Brother Hualang, I am too handsome, and I am fascinated by you? Lin Hualang opened his mouth and joked, and did not forget to shake his bangs.

Liu Yong's sip of tea almost didn't squirt out, and he thought: "This guy is so shameless, even the old men are teasing." ”

Then Li Dongshan smiled and said: "It turns out that this is the famous Hualang brother in Meizhou City." Fortunately, I will be honored. "Li Dongshan has indeed heard of Lin Hualang's name, but if he wants to say that he is famous, then he can't talk about it. At this point, he was just polite.

So Lin Hualang can afford such a compliment? Don't take the opportunity to quickly put on one.

"Polite, polite, the name of the little brother is just a wasted name." Lin Hualang shook his head and pretended to be polite.

Liu Yong said, "Okay, you two, please sit down." ”

The two men arched their hands at each other and sat down laughing.

When the wine and food were ready, Liu Yong was about to pour wine for Li Dongshan, Lin Hualang hurriedly grabbed it and said, "I am the youngest in terms of seniority, so I should pour the wine." ”

Liu Yong didn't refuse, so he let him fall.

Li Dongshan looked at Liu Yong, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but praise in his heart: "What a handsome Langjun." How could a person who seems to be weak like this be obedient to such a ruffian as Lin Hualang? It seems that this person is not simple. ”

"Come, Brother Li, I, Liu Yong, will give you a cup." Liu Yong picked up his wine glass.

"Okay, Brother Liu, come and drink one." Li Dongshan drank it all.

Liu Yong drank unconscious last night, in a common sentence among alcoholics, that is, he must drink some the next day, commonly known as: thoroughly. And then I did. Yes, it's quite comfortable.

With the first cup, the second cup came, and the three of them pushed the cup to change the lamp, the cups and plates were staggered, talking about homely things, and they were happy to eat and drink.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Liu Yong took the note signed by Guo Dequan to Li Dongshan.

Li Dongshan took a closer look and was taken aback.

Liu Yong stared at Li Dongshan's reaction, and when he saw his surprise, he was also apprehensive. In fact, Liu Yong was skeptical about such a large quantity from the beginning, and he did not believe that there would be so much salt in Meizhou City.

"This is what Master Guo personally wrote to Brother Liu?" Li Dongshan closed the note and handed it back to Liu Yong.

"This, how dare you deceive?" Liu Yong said.

"It's just that there isn't so much salt in the yamen at all?" Li Dongshan stroked his mustache.

"Since there is not so much salt in storage, then does Brother Li know why Lord Guo still agrees to be here?" Liu Yong put away the note.

Li Dongshan touched his mustache, wrinkled his thick eyebrows, and groaned for a long time, but shook his head and said, "This, that, this, Li really doesn't know what he means!" ”

"Brother Li, how much salt is there in your yamen now?" Liu Yong asked.

"Fifteen thousand pounds." Li Dongshan was blunt.

After listening to this, Liu Yong sighed.

"However, Li asked, are you in a hurry to use these salts?" Li Dongshan asked.

Liu Yong thought to himself: "Do I mean I'm in a hurry, or am I not in a hurry?" He hesitated.

At this time, Lin Hualang suddenly said: "Of course I'm in a hurry." ”

"Then it's not going to be easy." The old Taoist priest touched his mustache again.

"So what if I'm not in a hurry?" Liu Yong asked tentatively.
