Li Daqi sneered disdainfully, "The Wang family's Yujin Mansion has been closed, and Yuyantang is still struggling to support it, but it can't threaten Baoyanzhai anymore." ”

"So fast?"

"Humph! It's not the result of quick success, although the formula of rouge is important, but it is far less important than word of mouth, when they reduce the price and compete with us, I know that they will be finished sooner or later. ”

Li Yanqing was amused in his heart, at that time, his father was like a frosted leaf, languishing all day long, and now it has become an afterthought.

Li Daqi didn't see the smile in his son's eyes, and still said triumphantly: "At the beginning, the low-price competition began, the store was crowded with the people in the market all day long, and the Yujintang rouge became a low-grade product, and then raised the price after they woke up, and the people in the market did not go, but went to our Zhang Gu Rouge shop, and the dignitaries and ladies did not attract it, and finally the business in the palace was lost, and the door could be closed all day long, and it had to be closed after a month." ”

"Is it the same with Yuyan Hall?"

"Yuyantang is better, after all, it is also a family that does big business, they thought it was early, and immediately abolished the brand of Yuyantang and renamed it Yuexian Rouge, the price is the same as ours, they are a little more connected, but they can only barely support it, but it is far from being comparable to Baoyanzhai, which has accumulated a lot of money."

Li Daqi specially focused on the four words 'thick accumulation and thin hair', and couldn't help laughing.

Li Yanqing was helpless, so he had to laugh with him twice.

At this time, Li Daqi suddenly remembered something, and said to Li Yanqing suspiciously: "Yesterday, the imperial doctor Zhao Keats came to see me, saying that you asked him to come, what happened?" ”

Li Yanqing immediately understood that it was the prince who wanted to see him, and he hurriedly smiled: "He heard it wrong!" Either Yang Guang is a mistake, I asked Yang Guang to ask him to diagnose Yun Niang's pulse, why did he come to Baoyan Zhai. ”

Li Daqi didn't think much about it, and said with a smile: "It must be that Yang Guangchuan is wrong, that kid is absent-minded all day long, just thinking about the female clerk of Baoyan Zhai, do you want me to explain to Imperial Doctor Zhao?" ”

"No, I'll pass by Dr. Zhao's house when I turn around and just say hello to him."

"Yanqing, tell me what you plan to do next!" Li Daqi is colorful.

Li Yanqing pondered for a moment and said, "I want to go to Taiyuan Mansion to work, but it is estimated that it will be difficult. ”

Li Yanqing knew in his heart that the Son of Heaven knew his relationship with the Seed Master Dao, and would never let him take over Taiyuan easily and continue to maintain the existence of the Seed Army, but that army was the only army that could fight in the Great Song Dynasty, and if he couldn't control it, the shame of Jingkang might not be avoidable.

Li Daqi sighed, "You go and work hard!" If you need money, I will give it no matter how much. ”

Li Yanqing said with a smile: "Daddy just do a good job of Baoyanzhai, my errand has nothing to do with money, I will try my best to operate successfully." ”

"Then I won't ask, and Yun Niang's side, you have to pay more attention, her day is coming, probably this month, don't be careless."

"Daddy, I'll pay attention." After a pause, Li Yanqing cautiously probed again: "If it is a boy, can his official name be ......?"

"No way!" Li Daqi flatly refused, stretched his face and said, "We have already said that the official name of my eldest grandson must be taken by me." ”

There was no way, Li Yanqing had to smile bitterly, he suddenly remembered that his father's youngest daughter's name was given by himself, and his heart couldn't help but balance a little, he hadn't seen his sister for a long time, and he was going to see her tonight.

．．．．．．．．

Coming out of Baoyan Zhai, Li Yanqing took an ox cart and came directly to Zhao Keats's pharmacy, in fact, he didn't understand, why Wang K感激 didn't go directly to his home, but went around a bend to find his father, Yun Niang saw that she was about to give birth, wouldn't it be right for him to go and see?

He got out of the ox cart and walked into the medicine shop, where a medicine boy greeted him and said, "Do you want to see a doctor?" ”

"Find your old lady, make an appointment."

"What is your surname?"

"My surname is Li, tell him that I came from Baoyanzhai and he will know."

"I see, please wait, official!"

The medicine boy hurriedly walked into the inner courtyard, but Li Yanqing fell into deep thought, how come today, the prince is still sneaking there like before? Hasn't his situation improved at all? If so, I'm afraid he won't be able to help himself.

"Li Guanren, my old man invited you over, and he personally helped you diagnose your pulse!"

Li Yanqing nodded, followed the medicine boy to the mansion, and walked into the middle courtyard, only to see Zhao Keats, who had a childish face, greeting him in the courtyard with a smile, "Li Guanren, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Li Yanqing returned the salute and smiled: "Excuse me!" ”

"Where! Where! Li Guanren sit inside! I'm not used to checking my pulse outside. ”

Li Yanqing secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, and he had to hide it in front of his family, no wonder the prince took a fancy to him, he was indeed cautious, he was too cautious.

When the two came to the inner hall, Li Yanqing sat down and handed his arm to Zhao Keats, who said in a low voice while checking his pulse: "Donggong asked you, where do you want to go on an errand?" ”

"Taiyuan Mansion!"

"Is it only Taiyuan?"

Li Yanqing groaned and said, "If Taiyuan Mansion can't work, Jingzhao Mansion can too." ”

"I see!"

Zhao Keats stopped talking, but Li Yanqing couldn't help but ask: "Is the surveillance in the palace still as strict as before?" ”

Zhao Keats smiled faintly, "On the surface, it is relaxed, but in fact it is stricter, the chair above is heavier than anything else, and the East Palace can only talk to some scholars, any minister related to the military is taboo, if not, how can the master go home to retire?" ”

Li Yanqing groaned and asked, "If that's the case, then how can he talk about my business?" ”

"There is Liang Shicheng here!"

"Isn't there a rift between Liang Shicheng and the East Palace?"

Zhao Keats sneered disdainfully, "He is an old minion, what qualifications does he have to talk about rifts with the East Palace, he was on the wrong side during the Northern Expedition, and now he is desperately trying to please the East Palace, of course it is necessary for the East Palace to make good use of him." ”

Li Yanqing nodded, "I understand!" ”

．．．．．．．．．．

Zhao Ji, the son of heaven, was in a very good mood in the past two days, and the Song-Jin negotiations had been successfully concluded, except for the previous Song Dynasty's promise to transfer the New Year's coins to the Liao State to the Jin Dynasty, the Song Dynasty had no losses in other aspects.

On the contrary, the Jin State not only happily promised to return Yizhou and Jizhou to the Song Dynasty, but also promised to return the Hexi Corridor to the Song Dynasty after destroying the Western Xia, in exchange for Yunzhou.

Although Pingzhou in Yanshan Mansion could not be taken back, Zhao Ji was overjoyed to get the Hexi Corridor that the Great Song Dynasty coveted, and he didn't care about the gains and losses of Yunzhou and Pingzhou at all.

Of course, Zhao Ji still decided to give Jin Guo some sweetness, and he ordered to transfer more than 10,000 Khitan craftsmen from Yanshan Mansion to Jin Guo.

Taking advantage of this celebration, Liang Shicheng intentionally or unintentionally mentioned Li Yanqing, and Li Yanqing was also lucky, at this time, the Song and Jin negotiations were successful, and Zhao Ji's joy in getting Yanshan Mansion far exceeded the unhappiness caused by Li Yanqing's help to take the path of the planter.

Zhao Ji took a sip of tea and said lightly: "Taifu, where do you think it is more appropriate for him?" ”

Liang Shicheng has his own selfish intentions, and he will definitely not let Li Yanqing go to the Daimyo Mansion or Zhending Mansion to serve satisfied, which is not conducive to controlling him.

But he will not let Li Yanqing go to the south or a place where there are no soldiers, he needs Li Yanqing to master the army, this is the role that Li Yanqing's chess piece needs to play.

What's more, this is the prince's instructions, and Liang Shicheng also needs to mend the relationship with the prince through this incident to make up for his major mistake of standing on the wrong side before.

Liang Shicheng bowed and smiled: "Isn't the next Jin State going to attack Western Xia?" The old slave felt that if Li Yanqing was in the west, maybe the Jin people would not dare to lose their words easily. ”

Liang Shicheng knew Zhao Ji too well, he knew that what Zhao Ji was obsessed with was the Hexi Corridor, and he was also afraid that Jin Guo would regret it, since Li Yanqing could capture Yanjing, he would definitely be able to recapture the Hexi Corridor.

Zhao Ji groaned and said, "You mean to let him continue to lead the troops?" ”

"Now that Your Majesty has pulled out his teeth, if he can brush his hair properly, the tiger in Hedong will be completely quiet."

Zhao Ji understood what Liang Shicheng meant, he was referring to the Seed Master Dao and the Hedong Army, everyone knows what is going on with the retreat of the Seed Master Dao, although the generals under the Seed Master Dao are silent, but they may not be dissatisfied, so it is necessary to appease them appropriately.

Zhao Ji nodded, "Let me think about this matter again!" ”

Liang Shicheng retreated, Zhao Ji pondered for a long time, and instructed a eunuch: "Summoning Cao Fu Ma to see me!" ”

The eunuch went quickly, and after a while, Cao Sheng hurriedly came to the imperial study, knelt down and saluted: "Weichen sees His Majesty the Emperor, I wish Your Majesty long live, long live, long live!" ”

Zhao Ji smiled and waved his hand, "Don't be so exaggerated, let's be casual with our son-in-law." ”

"The courtesy of the monarch and the minister cannot be abolished!"

"Then get up!"

Cao Sheng stood up and stood aside with his hands down, and Zhao Ji asked with concern, "Does your father's chest pain still freak out often?" ”

"Thank you for Your Majesty's concern, my father has chest pain about every two months or so, and other than that, he is in good health."

"He's been sick for almost 20 years! Back then, it was for this chest pain to retire, although it was an old problem, but it was still necessary to take care of it, after all, it was old! ”

"Your Majesty's concern, Weichen will definitely tell my father."

Zhao Ji nodded, took a letter and said with a smile: "This is a letter written by your father to me a few days ago, begging me to transfer his beloved son-in-law to Taiyuan Mansion, he is an old minister of the Three Dynasties, how can I not give him face, but I thought about it carefully, I feel that Jingzhao Mansion is more suitable for Li Yanqing, let Li Yanqing guard the west gate for me, I will be relieved." ”
