Chapter 787: The Mansion Donated by the Emperor
"Li Jiu, is it really a million taels?"
The second lady followed Li Muran into the mansion, opened her eyes wide, and her face was full of disbelief, and asked
It's nothing more than that the second miss will be like this, after all, the second miss has never held a family, and she has never run the Qiao family's business, so when she heard that the official department was willing to end this matter with a million taels, she was surprised and grew her mouth.
After hearing this, the eldest lady on the side looked a little unpleasant, and asked with a worried expression
"Li Jiu's million taels of silver, will it be mistaken for bribing your silver taels, if so, we will definitely not accept it!"
The second lady doesn't understand, but the eldest lady knows that the most taboo thing in this officialdom is to be caught, Li Muran has not been in office for a few days, and now he is taking bribes, and it is estimated that the end is not far away!
But Li Muran laughed after hearing this, then reached out and touched the second lady's head, and said with a raised eyebrow
"This million taels is naturally to be collected, otherwise what will I do to propose to my wife!
You must know that the eldest lady and the second lady are among the best beauties in Luzhou City, if the dowry is one million taels, wouldn't it make people say that I am stingy!
Brother Jiu is not a stingy person!
Everyone knows this! ”
Listening to Li Muran's unserious remarks there, the eldest lady and the second lady broke together, and their faces were even more shy.
For a while, he forgot about Li Muran's bribery, and in his own heart, he felt that the million taels were a little less, you must know that tomorrow is the time to eradicate these families, and now he is just taking some on the gold mountain, presumably the emperor knows about it, and he also turns a blind eye.
"Wow, it's so big!"
Just when Li Muran was thinking about it, suddenly the second lady beside him came with an exclamation, he looked up, but saw a small bridge flowing water, rockeries vertical and horizontal, as for those flowers and plants are still blooming in winter.
It's like a fairyland.
"This yard is so warm, I didn't expect these flowers to bloom in spring, but now it's incredible!"
The eldest lady was also attracted by the scenery in front of her, but she was not as lamented as the second lady, but was curious about how these flowers and plants could grow so lushly.
After Li Muran heard this, he also looked at it carefully, not to mention that this courtyard is really much warmer than outside!
Just when he was curious, there was a hearty laugh behind him
"Master Li, congratulations!"
Listening to the shouts behind him, he looked back and saw that Yu Bai, who had sent away the servants of the ministry, had returned!
"Father-in-law Yu, thank you for helping me out of the siege just now!"
"Hey, where did Master Li say, what happened just now was that the servant of the ministry was too arrogant, I just said it in all fairness, and I didn't say anything!
The main thing is the majesty of Lord Li! ”
Yu Bai is worthy of being a person who specializes in doing some things like catkins and being afraid of horses, and he is a very professional fart in a casual sentence, not to mention those high-ranking officials and dignitaries, but he feels very comfortable after listening to it!
"Old man, you're really right, that squire just now was really a little arrogant, if everyone was like you, then the world would be peaceful!"
The second lady saw that Yu Bai praised Li Muran's good feelings, and blurted out her straightforward words, but Yu Bai was stunned after hearing it, obviously she didn't expect the female doll in front of her to talk like this, and then looked at Li Muran with inquiring eyes.
"Father-in-law Yu, this is also my wife!"
"Oh, could it be that this is the eldest lady of the Qiao family?"
This Yu Bai also has a study of the Qiao family, the Qiao family's double pearls are the best in Luzhou, the eldest lady is shrewd and capable, and she and the family Ding Li Jiu helped the Qiao family turn over, and at the same time became the royal money bank.
This is a well-known truth in Luzhou City, and it is even more popular in the market, such as Miss Ding Hui and Bai Shou under the moon.
Therefore, Yu Bai saw that this woman helped Li Muran speak, and Li Muran said that it was his wife, which made him mistakenly think that the person in front of him was the eldest lady of the Qiao family.
"I'm not the eldest lady of the Qiao family, the eldest lady is my sister!" The second lady heard that Yu Bai recognized the wrong person, and hurriedly corrected it,
It's just that it's okay that she didn't speak, but when she spoke, Yu Bai was a little stunned, and then looked at another slightly older woman on the side in confusion.
"This ......"
"Haha, Father-in-law Yu, you have to know that Li Jiu's personality charm is very amazing, the eldest lady is my wife, and the second lady is also my wife haha!"
After Li Muran finished speaking, he couldn't help but laugh again.
Yu Bai also laughed after listening to the two daughters carefully, but she was not surprised, you must know that even if the powerful people in the Han Dynasty are your wives and concubines in groups, no one will care about you, as long as you have enough silver taels to support.
And the eldest lady listened to Li Muran introduce herself like this in front of outsiders, and her face blushed.
As for the second lady, she kneaded her clothes
"Li Jiu, you haven't told your mother about us yet!"
Well, the second lady is so cute!
Laughing, a few people walked towards the inner hall, and on the way through, Li Muran found the clues in this garden, no wonder the courtyard is red and willow green, it turns out that there is an iron furnace erected on the side of the road only about half a meter apart, and the hot red charcoal in the iron furnace exudes bursts of heat, so that although the courtyard is in winter, it has the temperature of spring.
Not only that, according to Yu Bai's explanation, this iron furnace puts carbon in winter and ice in summer, and there is an ice cellar in this yard that stores a lot of ice.
Listening to Yu Bai's explanation, Li Muran only had one sigh
"Mansion, such a mansion was definitely the top mansion in ancient times. See how much carbon is consumed per day in such a large yard?
If it's summer, the ice cubes aren't so easy to get, and won't the loss be even more? ”
Sighing along the way, he and Yu Bai came to the hall to discuss matters, and the eldest lady took the second lady to walk around the courtyard after seeing this.
The two sat down, Yu Bai poured a glass of water for Li Muran, and then smiled
"Master Li, congratulations, the joy of housewarming is really a great joy!"
"Where, not being able to live in such a house is a blessing for Father-in-law Yu?"
"Hey, Lord Li's words are wrong!"
Li Muran was stunned when he heard this, wasn't this house given by Yu Bai?
"What did Father-in-law Yu say?"
Yu Bai saw the curiosity on his face and said slowly
"This mansion was personally selected and given to Master Li by the current saint! It has nothing to do with me Yu Bai! ”
"The emperor sent it?" Li Muran was also stunned after hearing this.
How could the old emperor give his own house?
He couldn't figure out what to do, and looked at Yu Bai, who said with a smile
"Presumably, Lord Li already knows who lives in the north of this city, and opposite this mansion is the Great General's Mansion, and in two days, the six inspectors, Su Xun Su's mansion will also be next to your mansion, now understand?"
After speaking, Yu Bai picked up the teacup on the side, took a sip, and then looked at Li Muran unexpectedly......
