Ten days later, Li Yanqing and his entourage arrived in Chenliu County, they did not enter the city, but rested and ate in a tavern outside the county, and when they arrived here, Li Yanqing was also going to break up with Zhao Kai. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

On this trip to the south of the Yangtze River, Li Yanqing can be regarded as having thoroughly seen through His Royal Highness King Jia, and it is undeniable that Zhao Kai has a lot of advantages, such as forgiveness, kindness, forbearance, approachability, and even obedience to himself.

But the other side of these advantages is weakness, concession and indecision, and even obedience to one's own words is because he is too soft-eared and has no opinions of his own, let alone a lack of iron and blood, and no decisive genes.

No wonder Zhao Ji loves this son very much, Zhao Kai is completely a copy of Zhao Ji.

Li Yanqing originally hoped that Zhao Kai could replace Zhao Huan of Song Qinzong in history, but the result made Li Yanqing deeply disappointed, even if Zhao Kai replaced Zhao Huan, it was just another Song Qinzong.

But Li Yanqing also warned himself that there is still a long time, people will change, and he can't easily draw conclusions about a person because of a momentary opinion, this matter will be a long time coming, and he still needs to observe for a few more years.

At the same time that Li Yanqing was disappointed in Zhao Kai, Zhao Kai also had some subtle changes in his heart towards Li Yanqing, when he killed Zhu Chong in Suzhou, he had planted the seed of dissatisfaction with Li Yanqing in his heart, and now that the task was completed and the danger passed, this seed of dissatisfaction began to take root and sprout and grow strongly.

Zhao Kai's dissatisfaction with Li Yanqing stems from the breach of contract with Zhu's father and son, Li Yanqing obviously negotiated the conditions with Zhu Chong, and after deceiving Zhu Chong's secret, he did not hesitate to hand over Zhu Chong to kill him. He Li Yanqing can not be honest, but what about himself? Zhao Kai has never been dishonest since he was a child, but now his reputation has been stained.

Another thing that made Zhao Kai dissatisfied was the shipwreck, and it was not until he crossed the Yangtze River that Zhao Kai finally came back to his senses, and Li Yanqing didn't want to transport this wealth back to Bianjing at all, and didn't want to let this wealth go into his father's inner treasury.

Although Zhao Kai didn't want his father to use this wealth to enjoy and squander it, what he was angry about was not the shipwreck itself, but Li Yanqing's deep scheming and his ruthlessness.

Li Yanqing does not have the simplicity and simplicity that he should have at his age, on the contrary, he is like a middle-aged man who has seen through the world, and his heart is full of darkness and deceit, which makes Zhao Kai extremely disgusted.

Zhao Kai likes the majestic and bright Zhuge Liang, never likes the scheming Sima Yi, and even less likes the vicious Jia Xu, Li Yanqing does not meet the image of a strategist he expects at all.

Zhao Kai secretly made up his mind that Li Yanqing could be his general, but he must no longer follow any of his plans or suggestions.

Although the two of them already had their own thoughts, they were still polite on the surface, Zhao Kai smiled: "After returning to the capital, what does Li Shaojun plan to do?" ”

"Of course, it's to calm down and study, and I'm going to participate in the imperial examination the year after next."

"That's a good thing! Li Shaojun should study hard and truly understand the teachings of the sage, and I also hope that Li Shaojun can be an upright person, treat people with sincerity and trust! ”

Li Yanqing smiled and said nothing, he believed that Zhao Kai would never say such a thing to himself when he was surrounded by hundreds of thousands of Suzhou people, Li Yanqing said lightly: "I remember the teachings of His Royal Highness." ”

Zhao Kai took out a stack of letters and handed them to Li Yanqing, "This is the correspondence between Tong Guan and Zhu Mian, there are six in total, and there is also a property inventory, you can deal with it!" ”

"Isn't His Highness going to hand it over to Tong Guan personally?"

"This.... I don't have a deep friendship with Tong Guan, I'm afraid that I will be misunderstood if I have too much contact, so I still ask Brother Xian to hand it over to him for me! ”

"Good! I'll do it for you. ”

Li Yanqing took the letter and put it away, Zhao Kai took a sip of wine, and said with a slight smile: "The war pays attention to rewards and punishments, this time the virtuous brother went to Jiangnan and made great contributions, I must discuss the meritorious reward, what needs does the virtuous brother have, just ask, this time you are not allowed to be as modest as last time." ”

Sometimes excessive enthusiasm is manifested as a kind of weakness, for example, Zhao Kai has always called Li Yanqing Li Shaojun, but today he calls him a virtuous brother for the first time, which sounds like a closer relationship, but in fact it is far away.

Another example is that he must reward Li Yanqing for his meritorious deeds, which sounds like he cares about his subordinates, but in fact, the subtext is that money and goods are clear, and Zhao Kai doesn't want to owe Li Yanqing favors.

However, this can't be all blamed on Zhao Kai, he is the prince after all, the biggest feature of the prince is always high, they will put down their body when they ask for help, but once the thing is done, he will restore the prince's detached identity and mentality, which is also the fundamental reason why it is difficult for princes to make real friends.

It's just that when it comes to Zhao Kai, he has another unknown mind.

The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and Li Yanqing doesn't want to get too close to Zhao Kai, so he thought about it and said: "The red dyeing Wang family's rouge shop is also Zhu Mian's industry, if it is liquidated, give me this shop!" ”

Zhao Kai was afraid that Li Yanqing would be modest and refused to make a request, since Li Yanqing had already made a request, Zhao Kai said without hesitation: "Then we will decide, and use the red Wang family's rouge shop as a reward for the merits of the virtuous brother!" ”

........

Li Yanqing arrived in Bianjing at dusk the next day, he did not rush back to Taixue, but went directly to the rouge shop in Xinqiao, the business of the rouge shop was as prosperous as ever, which made Li Yanqing very pleased.

Many stores were just starting to be popular, but it didn't take long for the freshness to pass, and soon declined, and I decided to take the road of cosmetics when I thought that cosmetics was a long-term prosperous market, and now it seems that this road has not been wrong.

However, Li Yanqing still found some subtle changes, there were fewer people queuing up to buy perfume, but there were more people in the store, and he could guess the reason, Zhang Gu Rouge also had a high-quality perfume, and they also had a good rouge that made customers linger.

Interestingly, there was a man in the perfume buying team, did men also start using Lauder perfume? Or I think too much, people just want to surprise the lady.

"Little official!"

I saw a sturdy figure rushing out of the alley next to him, it was an iron pillar, he was holding a white wax stick, and he was extremely energetic.

"The magpie said yesterday that the little official should come back, and this is really coming back."

Li Yanqing found that he seemed to be stronger than before, so he smiled and said, "Tiezhu, have you started practicing martial arts?" ”

"Hey! How do the petty officials know that I have been practicing martial arts in a martial arts gym for 20 days, and not only has my strength increased, but the master has also praised me for practicing the stick method well, do you want me to practice two moves for the junior officials? ”

"Another day! Where's my daddy? ”

"The third uncle went to Chenliu County ten days ago, and he will be back soon!"

Li Yanqing was stunned, he happened to come back from Chenliu County, why didn't he meet it?

"What did he do in Chenliu County?"

"I went to see Baihua Manor, we used to buy rouge that old Zheng Tou's house, he wanted a workshop and flower land to sell, it seems that the price is not expensive, the third uncle is very tempted, so he went to Chenliu County with Lao Zheng Tou."

Li Yanqing was speechless for a long time, he persuaded his father not to buy a workshop for the time being, and to leave the money to prepare to take over the Wang family's rouge shop, but his father still couldn't help it.

Li Yanqing was helpless, so he had to ask: "Then who is looking at the store now?" ”

"Of course it's the new shopkeeper!"

At this time, Li Yanqing saw a very kind middle-aged fat man walk out of the store, and respectfully sent the two female customers out of the door. ”

"It's him!"

Tie Zhu whispered: "His surname is Wu, and he is also from our Tangyin County, he turned out to be the shopkeeper of Anyang Huaji Rouge Shop, and he has been in this line for more than 30 years, and the third uncle dug him up." ”

Li Yanqing was taken aback, Huaji Rouge Shop is the largest rouge shop in Xiangzhou, when did his father become so promising, and he actually learned to dig into the corner.

"Don't say it, this Wu shopkeeper really understands, not only understands rouge, but also can do business, he suggested that the third uncle make a batch of good boxes, rouge, perfume, foundation, fragrant ink, hair oil, eyebrow pencil, incense cakes, mirrors and other items in the box to sell in sets, the box is printed with three golden characters of Baoyan Zhai, ten money for a box for sale, selling very well, many people buy gifts, in the capital has become a valuable gift."

Li Yanqing nodded secretly, it seems that his father has dug the right person, this shopkeeper is very brand conscious, worthy of being a professional shopkeeper, far better than his father knows how to operate.

At this time, Li Yanqing suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked, "Has anyone sent fish oil here?" ”

Li Yanqing was delayed a lot of time on the road, and he estimated that the fish oil had already arrived.

"It turns out that those oils are really bought by petty officials, and we all say that the weather is already hot, aren't you afraid of bad when you buy so much fish oil? Aunt Yang also has a way, she rented a place in an ice cellar and stored it, and the daily rent will cost 100 yuan, little official, you buy too much, we can't eat it at all, eat fish oil fried rice every day, and your stomach will be sour. ”

Li Yanqing laughed, "Those fish oils are not for you to eat, they are used to make balsam." ”

Tie Zhu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately they didn't eat it, otherwise they wouldn't be able to eat it for a few years, and they would all have scales on their bodies.

Li Yanqing couldn't help but secretly praise Aunt Yang for being smart, this is actually the method he thought of, there are many commercial ice cellars in Bianjing, buried deep in the ground, put a lot of ice cubes in winter, and then use sacks to absorb wood chips to absorb heat, so that the ice cubes do not melt all year round, some make drinks in summer, and some rent and store meat in summer, which is simply a natural refrigerator, and business is very prosperous in summer.

"I guess there's still some soot!"

"Yes! There are a lot of them, put them in the warehouse on the side of Lianchi Road, it's funny to say, the second child of the Liu family thought it was a good thing, and ran to rub the oil with a big basket, but it turned out to be charcoal ash, so angry that he scolded and went back. ”

Li Yanqing smiled dumbly, "Did the Liu family's mosquito coils do it?" ”

"It's already done, they have a lot of mosquitoes over there, and they have already started selling, and it is said that they sell very well, and they can make two dollars a day."

Li Yanqing almost burst out with laughter, and the humor of honest people always gives people an unexpected laugh.
