Mrs. Sun is the new shopkeeper recruited at the beginning of the year, and the former shopkeeper Wu has been promoted to the chief manager, responsible for the overall operation of Baoyan Zhai, including flower village, development, production and even stores, and also inspects branches around the country.

Mrs. Sun is only thirty years old this year, she looks very beautiful, she is a widow, there is a daughter by her side, it turned out to be the deputy shopkeeper of the Wang Ji Rouge Shop, after the Wang Ji Rouge Shop was seized, she went back to her hometown Suzhou to open a rouge shop, but was always harassed by local scoundrels, in desperation, she could only close the shop and return to the capital, and was hired by Li Daqi as the new shopkeeper at the beginning of the year.

Mrs. Sun can speak well, do things spicy, immersed in this industry for more than ten years, has a deep understanding of rouge beauty, and she is a woman, and she is more convenient than the previous Wu shopkeeper.

Mrs. Sun took Li Yanqing's hand, and her face smiled like a peach blossom, "Such a handsome offspring, if I am ten years younger, I must do everything possible to marry you, or let Fang'er follow the little member in a few years!" ”

Fang'er is the daughter of Mrs. Sun, she is only nine years old this year, she looks like a little beauty, she learns to mix rouge in the store, if it is normal, Li Yanqing will also make a few exaggerated jokes, but today he is in a heavy mood, so he has to smile reluctantly and ask, "Is my father in the store?" ”

"In the store!"

Mrs. Sun observed her words and saw that Li Yanqing was not in a good mood, so she put away her joke and pointed to the back door, "The staff is outside the backyard!" ”

Li Yanqing nodded and walked to the backyard, although he won the championship of the archery horse competition a year ago, causing a sensation in Bianjing, but with the passage of time, his reputation gradually disappeared, and the halo on his head also faded.

Li Yanqing entered the small courtyard through the back door, Li Daqi spent 8,000 yuan at the beginning of the year to buy half an acre of vacant land behind the store, and built seven or eight rooms, which became the headquarters of Baoyanzhai's account, and Li Daqi would stay here most of the time during the day.

Li Yanqing walked up to the inner hall, only to see his father chatting with Li Gouer in the hall, Li Daqi is currently the president of the Tangyin Township Association, Li Gouer is also the main member of the Township Association, the relationship between the two is quite good, Li Daqi rents houses to the clerks are basically looking for Li Gouer, and several Baihua Villas bought in various places are also handled by Li Gouer.

At this time, Li Daqi saw his son who walked into the courtyard, and said with a smile: "Why is Yanqing here!" ”

"Daddy, I've got something!"

Li Gou'er saw that their father and son had something to do, so he got up and said goodbye.

Li Yanqing walked into the inner hall and sat down, a maid served him tea, Li Daqi saw his son's solemn expression, so he asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Master is critically ill, I'm afraid this time ......"

Li Daqi was stunned for a while, and then sighed and said: "People over sixty, unless they are very good at maintenance, it will be difficult for a long time, don't be sad, work hard to be admitted to the Jinshi, is the greatest comfort to your master." ”

Li Yanqing nodded and was silent, "I plan to go back after the annual exam the day after tomorrow." ”

"This is up to you, by the way, I just have a letter to send to Second Uncle Zhen, you can help me bring it to you by the way, in addition, if Master Yao dies, try to do it as beautifully as possible in the future, and I will bear all the expenses."

"I have enough money, so my father doesn't have to worry about it, I came to ask my father to help me arrange a batch of books to be transported back by boat, and I want to live in the old house for a while."

"No problem, I'll help you transport the books, so when will you come back?"

"I'm going to sign up in December, and I'm sure I'll be back before I sign up."

"As long as you don't delay the registration, you can decide!"

After a pause, Li Daqi said to his son again: "Actually, I also have two things to discuss with you. ”

"Daddy, please speak!"

"I want to buy a house in the capital, the house that the Son of Heaven rewarded me last year, to be honest, I don't like it very much, and it is an official house, which cannot be passed on to my children and grandchildren, I want to buy a house of my own."

With Li Daqi's current financial resources, it is no longer a problem to buy a five-acre house in the capital, and this is one of his great wishes, and it is a dream when he entered Beijing to participate in the imperial examination when he was young.

"Daddy and Li Gou'er were talking about this just now?"

Li Daqi nodded, "Li Gou'er helped me choose three mansions, I have been to see them all, I am more satisfied with the one near Liangmen, it is very close to the Tang Inn." ”

"Is Daddy already decided?"

Li Daqi hurriedly shook his head, "It's just that I've seen it, buying a house is a big deal, I want to hear your opinion." ”

Li Yanqing groaned and said: "If my father decides to buy a house, I will persuade my father to buy a house in Qiantang County, Hangzhou, buy a few more houses, and don't buy a house in Bianjing." ”

"I bought a shop in Qiantang County as a branch, but I think it's average over there! It's not as good as Suzhou, why buy a house over there? ”

Li Yanqing didn't know how to reveal the future historical trend, he thought for a while and said, "Daddy, do you remember what I once said about the Jurchens?" ”

"Of course I remember, your prediction is very accurate, the Jurchens rose rapidly, defeated the Liao army one after another, and have occupied most of Liaodong, and many people say that the Jurchens will destroy the Liao State sooner or later."

"It is inevitable for the Jurchens to destroy the Liao State, once this kind of strong captives rise in the north, they will definitely invade the south, Hebei is an endless plain, how can they resist their iron horses, the Yellow River freezes in winter, the Jurchens go south, Bianjing will have no danger to defend, although the forbidden army has millions of people, but it has not been fought for a hundred years, it has long been rotten, such an army can't even beat the broken Liao soldiers, not to mention the Jin soldiers who have just risen, if I guess correctly, within ten years, the imperial court will inevitably be forced to move the capital, which is why I persuaded my father to store gold and silver as much as possible."

Li Daqi didn't speak for a long time, his son's words were almost a guess, not convincing, but in predicting the rise of the Jurchens, his son predicted very accurately, he predicted it many years ago, which made Li Daqi can't laugh again, in case he really moves the capital, he spends tens of thousands of dollars to buy a house, wouldn't it be thrown into the water.

"Then why is it Qiantang County, Hangzhou, and not somewhere else? For example, Bashu, Xiangyang, Suzhou, Jiangning, Hefei and other places? ”

"Bashu is too closed, that is the last step after the fall of the world, Xiangyang, Hefei and other places are not prosperous enough, can not support a capital, although Suzhou is prosperous enough, but not by the sea, there is a key way to retreat, as for Jiangning is the former capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the Son of Heaven will not move the capital there no matter how confused, only Hangzhou is the end of the Grand Canal, developed commerce, a large population, and the main grain producing area, as well as the convenience of sea routes, I think twice, if the capital is moved, only Hangzhou is the most suitable."

Li Daqi took a few steps with his hands in his hands, he looked at his son again, and seeing that his son's eyes were serious and firm, he finally nodded, "That's it!" Just listen to your words, let's live in the official house first, and then consider our own house later, Hangzhou is cheaper, I will buy more than 100 acres of land to see. ”

"Don't buy in a row, buy in a scattered way, try to be close to the river, don't buy the north, the north is generally the palace, the official office, and the south is the commercial area."

"I understand this, in addition, I have already bought three Baihua Villas in Jiangxia, Ezhou, do you think we need to expand further?"

"I still say the same thing, you have to buy it separately, and it is easy to attract attention when you connect them."

Li Daqi nodded, and he muttered and said, "There is one more thing I want to tell you, although Master Yao is not in a good situation and should not talk about this matter, if I don't say it now, it will be a little late to say it in the future." ”

"What's the matter?" Li Yanqing asked puzzled.

"Your Aunt Yang is pregnant, it's been five months, hey! I don't know what to say about it. ”

Li Yanqing smiled dumbly, "Then I should congratulate my father!" ”

Li Daqi was stunned, "Qing'er, you.... You don't care? ”

Li Yanqing shook his head, "This kind of thing is normal, Aunt Yang and Daddy have been for so long, it's not normal if they are not pregnant, Tang Huai and Wang Gui both have half-brothers, what's so special about me?" ”

Li Daqi was overjoyed, he had been worried about this matter, and he didn't know how to tell his son, but he didn't expect that his son didn't care at all, which made him worry in vain for several months.

"Don't worry, this Baoyan Zhai is yours, no matter what, my father will leave it to you in the future."

Li Yanqing smiled and shook his head, "If I pass the Jinshi examination and become an official, does my father think that I will also serve as the big proprietor of Baoyanzhai?" ”

Li Daqi slapped his head and couldn't help laughing, "Daddy is really confused, he became a businessman, and he hopes that his son will also be a businessman, it's useless!" ”

Li Yanqing hurried back to pack his luggage, then got up and left, Li Daqi couldn't sit still anymore, he wanted to go to Yuniang immediately and tell her his son's attitude.
