Li Daqi turned his head and saw his son, and was immediately startled, "Qing'er, when did you come back?" ”

"I just came back, and I'm chatting with Second Uncle Yang!"

Li Daqi didn't care about talking to him, and hurriedly urged Yang Xin, "You go quickly, there should be three thousand pieces of jade fat at home, forget it if you don't have a box, just take it with the bag." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"I see!" Yang Xin got on the donkey and hurried away.

"Jade fat seems to be selling well?" Li Yanqing looked at the long line and smiled.

"Isn't that good?"

Li Daqi smiled proudly, "You don't know how crazy it is to sell in the past two days, 10,000 pieces of jade fat have been sold in just two days, many powerful and wealthy families are buying hundreds of yuan, these are old customers queuing up to buy, I only sell one piece per person, and the whole family has come to line up, and now it has just begun, and the real civilians in the capital don't know what jade fat is!" ”

"Isn't that a business booming all the time?"

Li Daqi pulled Li Yanqing aside and said in a low voice: "It is said that Zhang Gu's rouge shop also wants to make jade fat, but they just can't do it, but this time I don't want to sell the secret to it, the key is seaweed ash, I have repeatedly told Tie Zhu, this secret is only known to a few of us." ”

"Iron Pillar has been very busy these two days!" Li Yanqing asked with a smile.

"He's about to be paralyzed, I sent eight newcomers to him as apprentices to help him out, but you're right, the frozen jade fat is indeed not as good as yin drying, the delicacy is not enough, there is no way, now there is only the right to follow, and then slowly use the method of yin drying!"

At this time, Li Daqi suddenly remembered something, "The raw materials for making jade grease are almost gone, what should I do?" ”

"The algae ash is gone?"

"There is still more than half of the seaweed ash, and the main oil is almost gone."

Li Yanqing was a little speechless, the batch of fish oil he bought can make at least 50,000 pieces of soap, and now he only makes 20,000 pieces at most, and the waste can be imagined.

"You can also make lard, it doesn't have to be fish oil."

Li Daqi was overjoyed, "Is lard okay?" ”

"Yes! But don't waste it too much, my batch of fish oil can make at least 50,000 pieces of jade fat......."

"That's it! All right! I know. ”

Li Daqi interrupted his son's words impatiently, "Those little guys have no experience, they wasted a lot at the beginning, and it would be good to have experience slowly." ”

Speaking of this, Li Daqi sighed, "These eight people were originally used to make rouge and perfume, but now they are all used to make jade fat, it seems that I have to go back to recruit a group of people." ”

"Why don't I go back for Daddy!"

Li Daqi shook his head, "You don't have to worry about this matter, if you want to participate in the imperial examination the year after tomorrow, you must go all out, I will let the shopkeeper Wu do the recruitment, he has a deep network in Rouge, and he can find a good craftsman." ”

Li Daqi was thinking about the lard and turned around to leave, at this time, he suddenly remembered something and said to Li Yanqing: "Tomorrow afternoon, you go to Gao's house for a light meal, yesterday people sent an invitation over, I have already agreed for you, I will give you the invitation when I go back, don't forget." ”

"Daddy, what's the matter?"

"I don't know very well, in short, it's not wrong to have a good relationship with these powerful people, it will be good for you in the future, I have prepared the gift for you, we can't let others look down on us."

"That's right!"

Li Yanqing also remembered something, and hurriedly shouted to his father's back: "Today, His Royal Highness King Jia told me that the Son of Heaven has agreed to engrave the signboard he wrote on our box. ”

"Great! In the future, we will see who dares to do fake Baoyan Zhai. ”

........

Gao's mansion is located near Xiangguo Temple in the inner city, which is also the residence of Gao Huaide, the king of Bohai County, although the title can not be hereditary, but this famous mansion in Bianjing City has been passed down from generation to generation, according to the Gao family rules, only the eldest son can inherit this mansion, and it is currently passed to the hands of the great-great-grandson Gao Shen.

Gao Shen is currently the official general of the left guard, the founding earl of Bohai County, there are rich and various welfare subsidies every year, plus the Gao family also has a restaurant on the royal street, there are more than a dozen properties in Bianjing City, and there are three manors in Kaifeng Mansion, tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, and the family is very solid.

Just as every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, although the Gao family is not short of money and has a high social status, but the Gao family does not have any real power, Gao Shen, the general, can't control a soldier, and Gao Shen's two sons, one is a guard in the palace, and the other is idle at home, and they have nothing to do, which makes Gao Shen and his wife upset.

Recruiting a good son-in-law is particularly important for the Gao family, among Gao Shen's three daughters, the eldest daughter is good, married to a Jinshi, the son-in-law is now the magistrate of Jiyin County, the second daughter is married to the second son of the Cao family, the younger daughter is only fifteen years old, but it is time to think about lifelong events for her.

In the past two days, Gao Shen and his wife have quarreled twice about their youngest daughter's marriage, and his wife fell in love with Li Yanqing, a student, but Gao Shen was a little disgusted with Li Yanqing's background, and Li Yanqing's father was a businessman, Gao Shen felt that the two sides were not the right person.

Another reason is that Li Yanqing is one year younger than his daughter, which makes Gao Shen, who is a bit machismo, feel very inappropriate, how can there be a reason that his daughter is older than his son-in-law.

But his wife fell in love with Li Yanqing, and after the husband and wife quarreled to no avail, the two finally made a compromise and let their daughter decide for herself whether she fell in love with this Li Yanqing.

"Look, the appointed time has come, but the person hasn't come yet, and he doesn't even follow the minimum etiquette, how can you let me trust my daughter to him?"

In the study, Gao Shen couldn't help but shout, his wife's living room was not far from his study, and he believed that his wife could hear his dissatisfaction.

As soon as the words fell, the housekeeper ran to the gate of the courtyard to report, "Old lady, Li Shaojun is here." ”

"Didn't they come?" Mrs. Pan immediately jumped up and shot back at her husband.

Gao Shen snorted, "Since you come to someone else's house as a guest, you should arrive early, this is a polite person, he is just a businessman's habit, everything is considered interests, for fear that if you arrive early, you will suffer." ”

"You're thinking too much, today is a blind date for your daughter, we said okay."

Gao Shen is much more cunning than his wife, he knows his little daughter very well, he has no opinions, he listens to the second daughter in everything, and the second daughter has a very strong concept, for this reason, he specially asked people to send a letter, and called the second daughter and his wife to dinner together, with the second daughter here, he believes that this blind date will not be successful.

At this time, the butler hesitated and said, "Madam, he came empty-handed." ”

"What!"

Mrs. Pan was immediately annoyed, "How can he be so rude, I still value him so much." ”

"Madam, let's let Feng'er and them talk! Let's not come forward. ”

Mrs. Pan angrily threw the powder on the table, and said with a cold face: "I'm not going, you let them deal with it!" Don't invite him to dinner either, let him leave directly. ”

Gao Shen was secretly happy in his heart, and hurriedly said: "You still have to eat when you eat, he doesn't know etiquette, we can't understand it." ”

"I want to eat you and accompany him to eat, I don't see him anymore."

Mrs. Pan's personality is that she changes extremely quickly between fire and water, and in a blink of an eye, she is extremely disgusted with Li Yanqing, and she was still waiting for Li Yanqing to give her the best cosmetics for Baoyanzhai!

Li Yanqing came empty-handed, which disappointed her to the extreme.

.........

Li Yanqing has been invited into the guest hall by Gao Shen's second son Gao Boyu, Gao Boyu is twenty years old this year, although he is temporarily idle at home, but he is not Gao Song's kind of gentleman, he is very good at hunting, and always asks friends out to hunt every once in a while.

Today, Li Yanqing's dress is the same as the Zheng family's birthday banquet, wearing a scholar's scarf, wearing a light cyan brocade jacket, holding a silk folding fan in his hand, and even walking is shaking, looking polite and polite, without a trace of martial arts temperament, which makes Gao Boyu, who loves martial arts, really dislike it.

"Isn't there a good brother who usually shoots archery and practices martial arts?" Gao Boyu frowned and asked.

He didn't participate in the Zheng family's birthday banquet, and his father didn't care about the military's quiver competition at all, and Gao Boyu didn't know about the kettle and arrow competition in Alum Tower.

Li Yanqing shook his fan and said lightly: "Xiaosheng is under a lot of pressure in the imperial examination, and every day in addition to reading is reading, I really don't have time to practice bows and swords, and Xiaosheng doesn't have that interest." ”

Gao Boyu was really disappointed in his heart, and he was not interested in talking to Li Yanqing anymore, at this time, he suddenly saw two people walking outside, so he hurriedly beckoned: "Second sister, brother-in-law, here!" ”

After a while, two young people walked in outside, it was Gao Shen's second daughter Gao Feng and son-in-law Cao Zhi, Cao Zhi is Cao Sheng's brother, he got the shadow official, and is currently working as a county lieutenant in Xiangyi County, Kaifeng Prefecture, his father is sick these days, and he made a special trip back to visit his father.

Cao Zhi and his wife were both out of town, and they rushed back to Bianjing only the day before yesterday, so naturally they did not participate in the alum tower feast.

Gao Feng is very concerned about her little sister's lifelong events, she pays special attention to Li Yanqing, she looks Li Yanqing up and down and asks: "I heard my father say that Li Shaojun was born poor, but your father is the proprietor of Baoyan Zhai, this seems to be very contradictory!" ”

Li Yanqing shook his fan and smiled: "A few years ago, we were still very shabby, but last year a relative in the capital died, and he had no children, so he left the property to my father, and my father sold the house and started business with the capital from the sale of the house, which was initiated in a few months." ”

This explanation gave Gao Feng a strong hint, and Gao Feng nodded, and made a conclusion about the nouveau riche in his heart.

"Then how did you get into Taixue?"

Li Yanqing smiled proudly and arrogantly, "Xiangzhou is not the capital, as long as you have money, what can't you do?" ”

The faces of the three of them changed at the same time, and the atmosphere became very embarrassing, Gao Feng got up and said, "You guys talk to him!" I feel like I've eaten flies and I'm going to vomit for a while! ”

Li Yanqing looked left and right, "Your mansion is very clean!" Where are the flies? ”

Gao Feng's face turned pale with anger, and he left like a gust of wind, and Gao Boyu also hurriedly said: "Brother-in-law will sit with Li Shaojun for a while, and I will go to see my father." ”

He also got up and left, and at this time, Li Yanqing smiled faintly: "The good crafts and weapons on the royal street are the Cao family's industry!" ”

"Exactly!"

"That's the case, I want to buy a sword for decoration, I went to see it two days ago, it's too expensive, a broken iron actually costs eight dollars, to be honest, I feel a little black-hearted, can you please Brother Cao to say hello and give me a half-price discount?"

Cao Zhi was stunned, he had never met such a superb person, and he actually said in front of himself that the Cao family was black-hearted, which was unheard of, and he shook his head halfway, "I don't care about the industry, I'm afraid I can't help, I'm sorry!" ”

"Then forget it, by the way, when to eat, I didn't eat breakfast, I came to eat a big meal on an empty stomach, it really starved me."

Cao Zhi couldn't hold back any longer, got up and sneered: "Then I'll go to the kitchen and ask, and try to start the meal earlier." ”

The three of them were all run away by Li Yanqing, and then Li Yanqing shook his fan and got up and said with a smile: "I guess I'm leaving now, no one will stop me!" ”
