Chapter 17 Warmth
Pei Yang Mansion, Li Xi's special hut for the account room.
Arthur pouted and looked at Li Xi, and then looked at his own young lady with a soft smile on her face, and couldn't help but look aggrieved.
I don't know why, yesterday afternoon she obviously went to complain, but when she finished the complaint, she found that this time not only did the young lady not help herself, but even her sister looked like she didn't like to answer to herself, and they were doubly interested in this Li Xi who they didn't like, instead of driving him away, they came to visit early this morning.
That Li Xi is too, smiling so badly, hateful!
She looked at this, and then looked at that, after her own lady and Li Xi met, they were so polite to each other, chatted about the atmosphere, and chatted about the recent dynamics of the Shuzhou poetry circle, the attitude can really be called cordial and friendly, and the last two even said that there is a new Yangzhou cloth merchant in the East Market, it is said that the plain satin there is very good, and it is shipped directly from the Jiangnan area, which is not inferior to the local Shu brocade.
And as soon as this was mentioned, the two people actually chatted along the way, this said that the local Shu brocade industry has been too scattered over the years, unlike the silk weaving industry in the south of the Yangtze River has formed a scale, so it can be marketed all over the world to become famous, and the industry is scattered, then it can only be regarded as a special product at best, and it is enough to pay tribute to the emperor, but it is not competitive in the national market.
The one who listened to it nodded vigorously and claimed that it was, and finally proposed that this Shu brocade should indeed be integrated, such a good resource is not used, it is simply a waste, no one in Yizhou Chengdu Mansion moved, and someone in the local Shuzhou should stand up, no agriculture is not stable, no business is not rich, and business is actually contributing to the Tang Dynasty!
As soon as this topic was pulled, the two of them suddenly chatted more speculatively, until now, the tea soup was ordered three times, and it was almost noon, and the two of them didn't feel bored at all, and the smile on their faces was stronger than just now.
Arthur was angry and pursed his lips high.
In the end, Yang Huahua finally saw Arthur's appearance, so she smiled and said to Li Xi: "Mr. deigned to go to the concubine's mansion as an account room, but the subordinates in my mansion have repeatedly offended, which really makes the concubine feel uneasy!" ”
Li Xi also smiled solemnly and waved his hand, "What's this, Miss Arthur is innocent, it's just a joke with me, where can I talk about offense, the young lady is too polite!" ”
He Gui, the old butler who has been standing aside and waiting, is also wondering, his mood is not much better than that of Arthur, at this time, he looked at the grievances on Arthur's face, and then looked at the two people who were talking happily, and couldn't help beating the drum in his heart, and said What happened to the young lady today? Even if you don't care about the things that Li Xi has been doing these days, such as lighting fires and drinking in the house, you should always be careful about the mouths of people outside, right? There are all kinds of rumors outside, and you actually came here to talk to him cordially for a whole morning, but the conversation is all gossip......
This, how do you feel like two people are old friends who have known each other for many years?
At this time, Pei Yang's Yang Huahua listened to Li Xi's words, and also looked at Arthur with a smile, nodded and said: "Yes, Arthur is innocent, but it is really lovely, from the time she first entered our Yang family when she was very young, she was with the concubine, and the concubine has always loved her very much, and regarded her as her own sister, Mr. I don't know, there is a ninth sister in the concubine's mother's family, and she is now living in Luoyang with her uncle, one year younger than this Arthur, the two of them have six or seven points of each other, and even the sister of the concubine is amazed, and the concubine is alone in Shu, There is no one to rely on, how can you not treat her as a sister to be pampered? ”
Li Xi nodded yes when he heard this, and the two smiled knowingly. Yang Huahua looked up at the window, as if she hadn't found out that she had been chatting with a strange man all morning, and she just said in surprise: "The concubine was negligent, talking and speculating with Mr., I don't want to delay Mr. for such a long time, I'm really ashamed, in this way, it's better for the concubine to order people to pack up a table of wine and food, and Mr. doesn't have to go home to eat, so he eats here, how about it?" ”
Li Xi smiled when he heard this, and hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't dare to disturb, don't dare to disturb!" The young lady doesn't have to be polite, although the young lady and the young lady are not the kind of people who are afraid of gossip, but the words are terrible after all, the young lady should also know that there are some unfavorable words for women outside, and in the next man, not afraid of this, but the young lady still cares about it, right, hehe, don't bother in the next, let's go back and eat. ”
Yang Huahua couldn't help but scold in her heart when she heard this, knowing that there were rumors outside, don't you still say that you like widows?
But when she heard this, she nodded with a grateful smile: "What Mr. said is very true, not taught by Mr., the concubine is confused again, even so, the concubine body will not keep Mr., and it will be changed to have time, and the concubine will personally treat the wine for Mr." ”
Saying that, she stood up, and Li Xi naturally stood up too, the other party was blessed, and he also followed suit, and the two sides were really polite and tight.
It's just that Pei Yang walked to the door with someone, but suddenly stopped, turned around and smiled at Li Xi: "I talked speculatively with Mr., but I forgot a big thing, yesterday I heard Arthur this girl say, Mr. has a new wine, and the concubine is blessed with a shallow life, I don't know if it is possible to try wine for Mr." ”
Li Xi smiled shyly when he heard this, the guys who used to steam wine on the bookcase asked him to take it home yesterday afternoon, but some of the samples that were steamed out of these words were well preserved at the bottom of a bottle, and they were placed in the corner of the bookcase at the moment, waiting for her Pei Yang's words.
Therefore, when he heard this, he arched his hand with a smile and said, "I don't dare to ask for it!" ”
※※※
waited until they all walked back to the backyard, Yang Huahua sat down with her skirt, Ah Jin quickly took a clean wine cup and poured her a small cup of new wine and handed it over, Arthur smelled the familiar smell, but quickly reminded him, "Miss, don't drink it, that thing is deceitful, spicy and choking...... It doesn't taste good at all. ”
Yang Huahua smiled when she heard this, and under the curious gaze of the crowd, she gently raised her glass and smacked it.
But even if it was just a small sip, her face quickly turned red, and then, I saw her quickly put down the wine cup and coughed loudly.
The old housekeeper He Gui was shocked when he saw this, and Arthur couldn't help muttering, "I said that it was not delicious......
After a long while, Yang Huahua finally stopped coughing with a red face, but shook her head with a smile, "This wine...... It's really strong, but if you want to get drunk and dream of dying, it's really a good thing! ”
Ah Jin looked at her when he heard this, thought about it again, and then said: "Wine, or really good wine, is just a human ......."
Yang Huahua smiled when she heard this, reached out and took the half of the residual wine, put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed it lightly for a while, and then said lightly: "This person ...... Goblin, goblin, really doesn't look like a scholar! ”
Ah Jin nodded when he heard this, "What you said yesterday was right, I'm afraid that we will have to be ruthless and come up with a lot of money!" ”
Until this time, He Gui and Arthur glanced at each other, and the eyes of the two of them were still full of confusion.
Unlike Arthur, Steward He turned his head to see the wine bottle in Ah Jin's hand again, but he was extremely curious in his heart.
What kind of good wine did Li Xi take out?
※※※
On the way home, Li Xi sneezed unconsciously.
The result of the "meeting" in the morning made him very satisfied, although this woman named Pei Yang is really too beautiful, when he lets himself sit opposite her to negotiate, he will always shake his heart unconsciously, even if she frowns slightly, it can make people feel distressed, I can't wait to offer the treasure at that time, so as not to be so sad to look at the beauty, but fortunately, Li Xi has been facing a great beauty of Wu Ji's level at home all day long, and she has honed a lot of concentration these days, no matter how beautiful you are, Anyway, the uncle can't eat it in his mouth, and he feels distressed and has a fart.
But then again, this woman is not only so beautiful that she is captivating the country and the city, but also the scheming city is deep enough!
After talking nonsense this morning, I couldn't hold it anymore, that is, I relied on repeatedly reminding myself that the more I held it for a while, the more I could afford to stand up to the shelf when I asked for the price, and the more I could afford the shelf, the more money I had...... Who said that if a woman has big breasts, she has no brains, and if her hair is long, she is easy to see short? This Pei Yang is definitely a counterexample, and it has to be said to be a counterexample of a counterexample!
However, I thought of the large white and delicate breast muscles under her fair and slender neck, and the pair of fullness on her chest that stretched her bust to an amazing arc...... Take a deep breath, take a deep breath...... That's not your thing!
Just when Li Xi shook his head and sighed, he just walked to the gate of Chongyi Fang, he suddenly remembered that after returning home that day, Wu Ji was actually very interested in the pound of dog meat he brought back, so he simply went to Chongyi Fang along the way.
Not far away, Wenjun's wine was already in sight.
In fact, these people are nesting in Pei Yang's house and pouring those things, he is just for a little sample, and now that the sample is completed, Pei Yang's seems to be planning to take the bait, so he naturally doesn't have to buy this wine, so he came over today, purely just like Wu Ji, a little greedy for the dog meat in this store.
In addition, I can take the opportunity to meet the pretty dog meat lady once, and I can also relieve the stuffiness in my chest this morning!
But it's a pity that after Li Xi arrived at Wenjun's wine, the dog meat was bought, but the dog meat lady was not there, listening to the people sitting and drinking on the side, Li Xi learned from a mother-in-law who sold wine that it turned out to be the emperor's family came to the door, saying that a young son who was just born in their family died in only three months, and asked the god to give divination, saying that it was because the family had [underworld], so the family Huangfu's family came over, and she was not allowed to use the surname Huangfu again.
Unlike those drinkers who just shook their heads and sighed, Li Xi had some senseless anger in his heart that had nothing to do with himself-what is this!
Just because of the interruption of this matter, Li Ximan's happiness suddenly went to seventy percent, and when he returned home, he naturally brought this mood to his face, Wu Ji saw that his face was pale, but he obediently put down the book and cooked for him personally - no matter how special her identity is, she still hasn't forgotten that she is just a singer in Li Xi's family.
However, although she learned these words, her craftsmanship was still difficult to swallow, and in the end, she borrowed the incense of more than a pound of dog meat, and Li Xi was considered to be full.
After lunch, when Wu Ji was making tea with his hands, he saw Li Xi sitting lazily squinting in the sun, and finally couldn't help but be curious, and asked him, "What's wrong with you today?" Get up on the wrong side of the bed? ”
Li Xi turned his head to look at her, and then glanced at her chest as if inadvertently, and then turned his head, but instead of speaking, he closed his eyes again.
Wu Ji was extremely puzzled, but he didn't want to ask again, so he frowned slightly, and even with the tea soup, he didn't see the power to say that he was in a bad mood, and he didn't have the heart to taste any tea, so he just made do with it and got up to leave.
It's just that when he was about to go out, he glanced back at Wu Ji, and then he sighed and said something that made Wu Ji puzzled for a long time-
"Full of warmth and silver. Desire, the ancients did not deceive me! ”

When he returned to Pei Yang's Mansion in the afternoon, as Li Xi expected, someone was waiting in his small office.
Seeing him come in, Arthur stood up and pouted slightly, and said with an aggrieved face: "Our young lady asked me to come over and make tea and soup for you......"
Li Xi smiled when he heard this, "Okay, you cook, you cook!" I'm waiting to try Miss Arthur's handiwork. ”
Arthur's lips pursed higher and higher when he heard this, "But Arthur doesn't want to cook it for you!" ”
"Why? Just because you drank a new glass of wine from me yesterday? Don't forget, at that time, I could specifically remind you not to drink too much, don't drink too fast, it was you who were disobedient, and you had to drink it in one gulp......"
"Got it......" Arthur pursed his lips, looking unhappy, and then tilted his head to look at Li Xi, "If you can tell me why our wife and my sister respect you so much, Arthur will make you tea and soup every day in the future!" Good no good? Arthur's tea soup is so well cooked, even my sister is not as good as Arthur's cooking, and Mrs. loves to drink Arthur's tea soup! ”
Li Xi was amused when he heard this, but for this innocent and lovely Arthur, he really liked it very much, of course, such a cute little beauty, it is estimated that no one will hate her, and even her power is still killed by both men and women, about this, you only need to see that Mrs. Pei Yang actually spoils her so much.
He smiled and asked, "Do you want to know?" Then why don't you ask your wife and your sister? ”
Arthur nodded when he heard this, "Of course Arthur wants to know, but Mrs. and sister asked me not to ask more, Arthur also asked Steward He, but Steward He said he didn't know, so Arthur had to ask you!" ”
Li Xi nodded when he heard this, deliberately made an embarrassed appearance, and thought for a long time, just when Arthur stared at him worriedly and didn't even dare to breathe, he sighed and turned his head to look at her, "Since Arthur is so sincere, he is willing to make me tea and soup every day in the future...... All right! ”
Arthur jumped up immediately when he heard this, he didn't get angry anymore, and he forgot that he was still muttering "Arthur doesn't like Li Xi" just now, so he immediately ran over and hugged Li Xi's arm and shook it, his eyes narrowed into two cute crescents with a smile, and he said: "I know that you are the best, say it quickly!" ”
Eating those delicate and greasy little hands and holding the hand, and intuitively feeling that two heavy, soft, greasy and hot things were newly pressed on his right arm, Li Xi felt that his heart suddenly beat violently!
There is no shame in hanging!
The principles of the world are about the same, and the years of blood and qi are not a small thing in thought. Man, this kind of "spacious" taste, no one can stay up for long! Once most of the things are gone......
Pushing oneself and others, it seems that everyone in high school said that girls also watched island movies in the dormitory...... It's not necessarily nonsense!
That is, after a thrilling effort, Li Xi came back to his senses, but he couldn't help patting his forehead, and said in his heart: "Okay, Mrs. Yang, I lost to you...... By the way, how do you know that I'm most afraid of beauty? ”
※※※
"The young lady of our family wants to ask for a recipe for buying new wine in Mr.'s hand, please ask Mr. to make a price!" Ah Jin said lightly.
Arthur was so coaxing, she could be coaxed to believe it by finding a random reason, but after she went back happily, this Ah Jin girl who came over on the order of Pei Yang's was not a good master.
In a sense, this is the real highlight that Li Xi has been waiting for after so many days.
It's just that maybe he was afraid that if the two sides couldn't get along, in order to leave room for both sides to take a step back, Pei Yang didn't come forward in person, but assigned her personal housekeeper to come here, which also made this highlight seem less grand.
However, even this Ah Jin, with a slender waist and plain eyebrows like a distant mountain, is enough for Li Xi to drink a pot.
Uh, the brain is deserting again......
Li Xi slapped his head hatefully, and scolded in his heart, "Haven't you seen a woman?" ”
Ah Jin was taken aback when he saw this, and asked with concern, "What's wrong with Mr.?" Feeling unwell? ”
Li Xi shook his head, sat down calmly, and said directly without even thinking about it: "I'm sorry, I don't sell this recipe!" ”
Ah Jin smiled when he heard this, thinking that he really let his own lady give him the expectation, and it was impossible for the other party not to ask for a price.
She smiled and said, "So...... Are you going to open your own winery? Please forgive the little woman for talking too much, my Datang prohibits the children of businessmen and children from participating in scientific examinations, for the sake of Mr., it seems that it is not appropriate to open a winery by himself, right? Besides, opening a winery is a costly business, with Mr. ......'s current net worth."
Li Xi smiled brighter than her when she heard this, and said: "Don't be afraid, my third uncle is already in business, and this matter will be left to him to do, no matter what is wrong, he will not treat me badly." ”
Ah Jin lowered his head when he heard this, and only after thinking for a while did he raise his head and ask, "What is the first step that Mr. is going to do?" ”
Li Xi said: "Wine tasting, wine tasting, I didn't say that crazy words a while ago, didn't everyone say that I was crazy?" Aren't they all curious about how I'm going to get half a year to a thousand dollars? Then try Li Xi's new bar! Gratuitous! ”
Ah Jin smiled and nodded when he heard this, and praised the young lady's clever calculation in his heart, but said in his mouth: "Mr. Temple is exhaustive, my wife and little girl are admired." ”
After hesitating for a moment, he saw that Li Xi just smiled politely, but he was unmoved, so he simply said: "The early wine tasting, trial production, etc. should be spent and arranged, and our house has covered it, but when this wine is really going to officially start marketing, our house will have a 30% share!" This is the bottom line of my young lady. ”
Anyway, according to the young lady's speculation, since this Li Xi took the trouble to find out that his house needed to open a way to make money, and aimed at the winery, and did not hesitate to deign to come to his house to do the bookkeeper, and make wine under his nose, etc., he must have made up his mind, so he was also tight, and he was not afraid of the risk of not being able to negotiate.
Besides, the conditions they offered are indeed generous enough!
Who knew that Li Xi only smiled faintly after hearing this, "The young lady is so generous, it's a pity, this recipe ...... I am not ready to sell it yet, but also ask Miss Ah Jin to return to your wife, thank her for her hospitality, change to new wine, I must ask her to taste and guide! Oh...... By the way, please find another account office in the next period of time, I will be busy in the next paragraph, I am afraid that I will not be able to serve in your mansion......"
Ah Jin couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and after hesitating for a long time, he still didn't know what to say.
Now that I think about it, my own young lady is really knowledgeable, this Li Xi, slippery!
※※※
After getting off work, the sky was already a little dark, but there were no fewer pedestrians on the street, Li Xi walked back with satisfaction along the way, and arrived near Chongyi Fang, but somehow remembered the incident he heard at noon, hesitated, and finally turned in.
It's just that from a distance, he saw that Wen Jun's wine was dark, and there was no one nearby, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, and he didn't see it clearly until he walked nearby, this store was not closed, why did every customer? And it's all over the place, and there's no light on it, and it's dark in the store......
He cautiously looked in, but couldn't see anything.
Turning his head to look at the street, he walked around here one by one...... It's as if this is the Temple of the Plague God.
Li Xi stood at the door of the store and shouted, "Is anyone there?" Boss, buy wine. ”
No one agreed.
He stepped in, tried to probe inside, and waited until his eyes gradually adjusted to the light inside, and then he saw clearly that this place had already been smashed...... The aroma of wine and meat in a room.
Then, there was a sobbing wisp as thin as a pipe......
*****
In the recent adjustment of the schedule, the update time is not fixed, don't blame it......
