The sunset slowly slanted westward, the sky was red, the clouds were all over the sky, and the whole Huaning City was splendid and peaceful. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

From the street outside Huiyun Lane, a horse-drawn carriage rushed in.

Li Shanlong, Qin Lao, Du Lao and others got out of the car, looking arrogant, talking and smiling and pointing to the sky, full of spirit, looking quite a leader.

Qin Lao and the others also nodded beside him, pretending to be calm, with the demeanor of an old minister with a humerus.

They talked and laughed outside the gate of the mansion for a while, and then from the street over there, another carriage appeared, and when they arrived at the door, Li Nianxian took Xiaolian down.

Li Shanlong looked even more proud, took the account book, and said to Qin Lao and the others: "Let's go in, after grandpa has read the account book, I will invite a few old stewards to have a meal and celebrate a few achievements!" ā€ć€‚

Qin Lao and the others followed behind with a smile, glanced over here, and then walked into the Li Mansion with Li Shanlong in their arms.

"This group of people, the villain has a will!" , Xiaolian helped Li Nianxian and scolded in a low voice.

Li Nianxian Yu had an obvious tired look on her face, her expression was lost, and she said softly tiredly: "Let's go in too."

In the hall of the back house, Li Qian sat on the main seat, on the table, burning a fine incense, just waiting for the incense candle to burn, the hour will end.

Noisy footsteps sounded in the courtyard, and in the crowd, Li Shanlong's hearty laughter came first.

Li Qian smiled faintly and said to Li Xing beside him: "Just listen to this laughter, I will know the result."

"Grandpa, grandson greets you!" , Li Shanlong walked into the house, his face was full of red, and he was a salute to Li Qian.

"Are you here to read the fairy girl?".

Before Li Shanlong could speak, outside the door, Li Nianxian had already walked in, and said, "Grandson asks grandpa for peace."

Seeing Li Nianxian's expression, and then looking at the smugness on Li Shanlong's face, although Li Qian was extremely sorry in his heart, he still said: "It's all here, then check the accounts and report the results of the competition."

"Okay, grandpa, this is the operation of the twenty-five tea shops in Huaning City, each of which is well recorded, please take a look at it", Li Shanlong confidently handed over the account book to Li Qian, retreated to the side and waited.

Li Qian took the account book, looked at the transaction numbers on it, his eyes lit up, showed a satisfied smile, and nodded: "Fifteen days, twenty-five tea shops, to this extent, the profit is almost doubled, this is simply the limit, if I do it myself, it can't be better."

When Li Shanlong heard Li Qian's praise like this, it was difficult to hide his suppressed excitement, and he said very proudly: "Grandpa, I'm ashamed to say that most of this performance is made by Qin Lao Du Lao, and my grandson is just learning from them these days, and in just fifteen days, I feel that I have grown a lot, and they are too powerful."

Qin Lao and the others on the side had a faint arrogance on their faces, but they were humble in their mouths, and they deduced that the young master was still young, and when he reached his age, he would definitely be better than them.

Li Qian encouraged Qin Lao and the others a few words, and said that they helped the Li family fight the world back then, and several old people felt that their faces were glorious, and they looked like they were drunk.

After checking Li Shanlong's accounts, Li Qian turned his head to look at Li Nianxian and said softly: "Nianxian, what's the situation over there?" ā€ć€‚

Li Nianxian calmly handed over the accounts, Li Qian opened them, looked at them carefully, and kept nodding, and said: "Yes, the profit improvement is very obvious, and it has exceeded my expectations to do this."

Li Xing took a step forward, compared the two account books, and said, "Young Master Shanlong's profit here is seven thousand four hundred taels more than Miss Nianxian's, and the gap is still within the acceptable range."

"Grandpa Xing, seven thousand four hundred taels, this is not a small amount, such a sum of money is enough for a hundred people to eat and drink well for decades", Li Shanlong raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously a little unhappy with Li Xing's words.

Li Xing smiled and didn't care.

Li Qian closed his eyes, pondered for a moment, then opened them again, looked at Li Nianxian, and said: "Nianxian, it's not that grandpa won't give you a chance, grandpa also has a hard time, in order for the entire Li family to be better in the future, I must make a choice."

Li Nianxian lowered his head slightly, but Li Shanlong became excited, he knew that this was what Li Qian was going to say.

"Old, old man...... The time hasn't come yet, Miss hasn't lost ...... yet", Xiaolian looked at Li Nianxian, who was speechless and almost resigned to her fate, her heart hurt so much, she gritted her teeth and said boldly.

"Dead girl, how can you speak here!" , Li Shanlong suddenly sank his face and scolded.

However, Li Qian looked at the fine incense on the table, and saw that there was still a small half, not only frowned, but said, "There are only those tea shops left in the countryside, right?" ā€ć€‚

"Yes, grandpa, all the tea shops in Huaning City have been settled, and only the remote countryside is left, how much money can be sold in that kind of place!? It's equivalent to having no one, and it doesn't count", Li Shanlong was impatient, and really didn't want to wait for a breath.

Li Xing leaned over slightly and said, "Master, let's come according to the agreement, such an important matter is not bad for these two teas."

Li Qian nodded and said, "Then wait a little longer."

Li Shanlong could only suppress his restless emotions and walked around in place.

After a while, a few people hurriedly came in the courtyard, and when everyone looked, it turned out to be Steward Yang under Li Shanlong.

Steward Yang looked excited, rushed in from outside, and confessed: "Master, a few old stewards, there are too many guests over there, I just sent them away, so I rushed here with all my might, haven't you missed the time?" ā€ć€‚

When Li Shanlong and Qin Lao and the others heard this, they were immediately even more excited, and Li Shanlong hurriedly said: "There is still one last bit of time, Brother Yang, hurry up and show your accounts to grandpa."

Steward Yang nodded again and again, and trotted to hand over the accounts to Li Qian.

Li Qian opened it and looked at it, and immediately said: "The profit has tripled!?" Xiao Yang, how did you do it!? ā€ć€‚

Profits tripled! When Qin Lao and the others heard this, they were all surprised!

But soon, Qin Lao showed calmness and whispered: "In that kind of place in the countryside, the original profit is extremely meager, and a few good orders can be doubled, two or three times, and it is not impossible."

Steward Yang was proud, and said: "Master, in fact, I don't know very well, I just showed my identity as the steward of the Li Mansion, and those villagers came to buy tea one after another, maybe they felt that it was an honor to be able to let a steward like me serve them."

"That's right", Li Qian nodded, but obviously didn't believe it much.

"Grandpa, the incense is going to be extinguished, you can announce the result, what is that Zhao Zhu, probably didn't sell a few taels of tea at all, and didn't dare to come back", Li Shanlong joked.

The incense is nearing its end and is about to be extinguished.

Li Nianxian's everything, it seems that there is no suspense anymore.

Outside the courtyard, a figure walked in, with a calm and calm temperament, slowly walked into the hall, looked at the fine incense that happened to be extinguished on the table, and said with a gentle smile: "Just right, I like this feeling of lore."
