Yang Huahua is a person who never drags her feet in things, since she opened her mouth to buy Wenjun Jiuyuan and Jingnu, she immediately turned her head and ordered He Gui to take Jingnu's brother and sister-in-law to withdraw the money, this transaction was so fast that people didn't have time to react otherwise.

And 100,000 yuan to buy a widow, this business is too eye-popping. You must know that in the West Market, you can buy a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl for only a few thousand dollars, and if you can pay more than 10,000 yuan, you can almost pick people at will in those people in Shuzhou.

Therefore, as soon as the price of the 100,000 yuan was shouted, even those who watched the excitement couldn't help but gasp one by one, thinking that this little lady was not only born to be a country and a city, but even the things were scary.

Only Li Xi knew what she meant by the 100,000 yuan.

She is a flower for herself.

Although such a good show of saving beauty in public heroes was taken away, Li Xi was unwilling to lose any ugliness in front of others, so in addition to being a little depressed at the beginning, his face returned to his usual demeanor.

"A piece of the pie? All right! It's just such a large asset, but it's not easy to take it, so please ask the young lady to open a price. ”

As he spoke, he turned his face away and stared at Shizun unscrupulously.

After her brother and sister-in-law were taken away to get money, although she was considered to have bought it from now on, Jingnu seemed to be relieved, perhaps she also knew that with such a brother and sister-in-law, she would have to take this step sooner or later, otherwise she would never think of peace for the rest of her life. If the person who bought her was Li Xi, she would still be thinking that Li Xi had helped her, and she didn't want her to spend money in vain and only leave a corpse behind, replaced by someone else, although she also felt unbearable in her heart, but in the end she felt much less guilty.

At this time, she stood at the door of the wine bar, her expression was blank, even Li Xi's eyes fell on her again and again, and she didn't seem to notice it, she just lowered her head and gently wiped the tears on her face.

Catching a glimpse of Li Xi's gaze, Pei Yang's Yang Huahua couldn't help but smile, thinking that she heard that Li Xi himself said that he just liked the little widow, could it be that it was actually what he said in his heart?

At that moment, she looked at Li Xi lightly and said, "Sancheng." ”

Li Xi turned her head and glanced at her, thinking that this woman was too smart, and she was too arrogant, she had been hanging her appetite for so long, she finally couldn't help but come out again today, but she still gave herself a dismount as soon as they met, and she still asked for thirty percent with one mouth.

Dream on!

At that moment, he simply ignored her, walked up to Jingnu in a few steps, and said worriedly: "You relax, from now on, your brother and sister-in-law will have nothing to do with you, and they will no longer be able to embarrass you." ”

In front of so many people, he actually walked to talk like this, and the words were full of care and care, Rao is Jingnu's heart was like ashes at this time, but she still felt a little embarrassed, her miserable face was slightly flushed, she turned her head and took two steps back, and said, "Thank you, I know." ”

Li Xi looked at her and stopped talking.

At this time, Li Xi gave a cold face in public, but Pei Yang's face didn't seem to have any displeasure, and he didn't mention any topic of getting a piece of the pie at the moment, but just smiled faintly: "This girl's surname is Lin, right?" I heard that your cooking skills are excellent, and it just so happens that there is a shortage of good chefs in my house, so how about not asking you to condescend? ”

The current meaning is to tell Li Xi that she is already mine.

When Jing Nu heard this, she turned around and blessed her, and said lightly: "Obey Madame's orders." ”

Li Xi sighed helplessly, looked at Jingnu, and then looked at Pei Yang's Yang Huahua, who was so beautiful that people felt their hearts pound at a glance, and suddenly said angrily: "I'm in a bad mood today, let's talk about our cooperation another day!" ”

After saying that, he actually brushed his sleeves away.

※※※

On the way back, Yang Huahua deliberately let Jingnu sit in her carriage.

Since he said that he wanted her to go to his own house to be a cook, Wenjun Jiu Yao had to close the door temporarily, and Ah Jin stayed to settle a few mothers-in-law, and at the same time told them that this wine bar would definitely go on, and let them come over to take care of the shop.

Therefore, on the carriage on the return trip, there were only Yang Huahua and Jingnu.

After staring faintly for a long time, Yang Huahua asked: "I think it's boring to be alive, it's better to die clean, isn't it?" ”

Jing Nu was taken aback when she heard this, and quickly raised her head and shook her head repeatedly, "No...... No. ”

Yang Huahua looked at her quietly for a long time before she sighed, but she turned her eyes away and said faintly: "We women, it is not easy to live unrestrained, if you are not willing to go to my house to be a cook, then leave now, I won't stop you." ”

Jing Nu was taken aback when she heard this, and immediately opened her mouth and was speechless.

I bought myself for 100,000 yuan, can I actually say that I will let it go? is she willing to let herself go, where is she going?

Do you really want to go to his grave and touch a monument and die?

Hearing that Pei Yang was willing to let herself go, the originally firm will to die in her heart suddenly loosened somehow, and she was suddenly a little unwilling.

Really, do you have to die?

Perhaps, I can hide in someone else's back house, and An Ansheng will be a cook for the rest of my life, which is also good?

※※※

As soon as Li Xi walked to the mouth of the alley, he saw the carriage first.

It happened that Liu Lan also opened the curtain of the car, and when she saw the real Li Xi, she said with a straight face: "Come up, the old man wants to see you." ”

Li Xi understood when he heard this, but he still smiled and said: "I want to see the old man, how can I go empty-handed, I will go to the house to get a new bar, which is considered to be filial piety to the old man." ”

Liu Lan nodded when she heard this.

Coming over to ask for a jar of new wine for the old man to taste and relieve his curiosity is naturally one of his tasks today, but he is not as familiar with Li Xi as Liu Rong, and he always feels embarrassed to say this kind of thing. Unexpectedly, Li Xi was smart, and without waiting for himself to say anything, he actually guessed the old man's meaning at once.

When I used to look at him unpleasantly, no matter how I looked at it, I felt that it was not pleasing to the eye, and it seemed that this person was full of faults. Since I was drinking with Liu Rong and his brothers that day, after listening to Liu Rong's explanation, it seemed that the strength in my heart had come over, and when I looked at it again, I felt that Li Xi was not useless, just this percussion song and knew the elegance of the clever energy, which was comparable to the second brother. Therefore, when I look at Li Xi at the moment, I feel quite good.

Li Xi went home to get a jar of new wine, and explained to Wu Ji that he was going to Liu's house, and then came back and got into the carriage with Liu Lan and went to Liu's house.

When I arrived at Liu's house, it was close to Xishan, and it happened that Liu Rong also came back from school, and the two of them stood in front of the hall and talked for a while, and the old man Liu Bo came out.

Li Xi went over to say hello and offered a fine wine, and Liu Bo laughed.

"You kid, don't say that if you have good things, I'll send some to Uncle Liu to taste first, but I'm going to get some kind of wine tasting, it's really nonsense!" That being said, but the old man's face was happy, but he couldn't see any anger, and before Li Xi could answer, he had already waved his hand and said boldly: "Accompany me to drink a few more glasses later, then it can be seen at the birthday banquet that your kid's alcohol consumption is not inferior to your old man's back then!" ”

Li Xi responded with a smile, and then accompanied the old man to the Liuhua Hall to sit down and drink tea and gossip.

Liu Lan went down and ordered, and after a short time, a good banquet was placed in the Liuhua Hall.

At the moment, Liu Bo took a seat, Li Xi sat sideways, Liu Lan and Liu Rong accompanied the two brothers, and the banquet was also full of conversation and laughter, only the first sip, Liu Bo's eyes lit up, and he praised "good wine" again and again, seeing that the old man was actually a big glass, but it was bluffing Li Xi to hurriedly persuade, "Old man, although this wine is good, it is strong, let's drink it slowly." ”

After a big mouthful of his lower abdomen, the old man Liu Bo's face was red, but he also ate this wine to burn his belly, so he nodded immediately, and then asked about the wine tasting this morning, Li Xi told him about the morning's affairs by the way, and euphemistically proposed that he wanted to invite the Liu family to join the shares.

The old man was noncommittal when he heard this, but saw Liu Wan'er suddenly walk in.

In the afternoon, Liu Zhou went to her room and sat for a while, she already knew about Liu Lan going out, and the back kitchen had been busy since the second half of the morning, so it was not difficult for her to know who was coming to the house to eat and drink with just a little inquiry.

But at this time, she suddenly broke in, and at a glance, she saw Li Xi sitting next to her father, but she pretended to be surprised and said: "Ah, it turns out that you are drinking here, why no one told me, I wouldn't have come if I knew it." ”

She was not used to lying, and as soon as this lame lie came out, her face immediately turned red. It's just that he said that he would not come if he knew it earlier, but he knew it this time, but he didn't have the slightest intention of turning away, he just stood there and pursed his lips, and his delicate appearance was extremely playful and cute.

Since the last time I sneaked to Li Xi's house under the pretext of the poetry club, I came back and ate a reprimand from the boss of A-Niang, and these people couldn't help but be stricter with her care, and she couldn't sneak out anymore, I heard that Li Xi was coming, although she was shy, she still couldn't help but want to come and see him, so she had the courage to come over, but she really walked in, and at first the idea of leaving at a glance was thrown away, and she didn't want to leave this time.

At this time, Liu Rong had already laughed, and Liu Lan shook his head with a wry smile helplessly, but the old man Liu Bo is not a person who is rigid about small things, Liu Wan'er is the pearl of his palm, and Li Xi is the fast son-in-law of the dragon in his mind, he doesn't mind the two of them meeting at this time, when he saw Xiao Nizi's playful and cute appearance, he immediately smiled, and simply beckoned her to come over, "Wannu, you come, come and pour wine for Daddy!" ”

Liu Wan'er happily agreed when she heard this, and then walked over in a hurry, but she really hid behind the old man and obediently poured him wine.

Li Xi looked up at him, with a smile on his face.

Liu Wan'er obviously felt that Li Xi's gaze was falling on her hotly, but she refused to turn her head to look at him, but her heart was pounding fast, and her face was unconsciously tinged with a touch of heat.

Li Xi had no choice but to retract his gaze, in front of the old man, he didn't dare to do anything.

With her present, although she is also her own family, the topic is suddenly much narrower, everyone always doesn't forget to look at her between talking and laughing, although Liu Wan'er has long been so ashamed that she can't wait to stomp her feet and leave, but she is always reluctant to leave, so she is behind her father, in the name of pouring wine for him, but she also peeked at him a few times when Li Xi was not paying attention.

Just a few glances, my heart already feels sweet.

Although everyone talked and laughed happily, after all, there was one more Liu Wan'er present, and many topics were inconvenient to tear apart, so the banquet ended quickly after it was just blackened.

Although the old man's face was flushed with alcohol, he looked like he was in a hurry, and the banquet was withdrawn, leaving Liu Lan and his three brothers and sisters drinking tea in Liuhuatang, and he only asked Li Xi to go to the study with him.

When he entered the study, the people came to hand the lamp and serve tea, and his face gradually calmed down.

Li Xi only took a small sip of tea gently, and thought it was hot, so he put it on the small table beside him, and did not speak, just quietly waited for Liu Bo to speak.

After a long while, the old man Liu Bo said lightly: "You got this new wine, it's good, just get here, don't do it yourself in the future, your third uncle has a set of business, and I'll send Lan Er to take care of it when I go back, it's okay, you still have to take your mind away." ”

With his words, it also means that the Liu family is ready to buy shares, that is to say, even if this second cup of soup is sent out smoothly, Li Xi naturally nodded when he heard it.

Although the eldest brother Liu Lan is a bit stereotyped, but he is better than doing things seriously, the third uncle has been in business for many years, and he is skilled in business, but he is inevitably slippery, although Pei Yang is extremely smart, but after all, it is a woman's family, and it is inconvenient to come forward with many things, so he can only be a director and come up with some ideas to supervise, so in this way, the third uncle is on the surface, and Liu Lan, the eldest brother, is taking care of it in secret, and the business is basically stable.

Presumably, the reason why the old man arranged it this way was also to take these into account, and Li Xi did not allow it.

It's just that after nodding and hesitating, Li Xi said again: "This new wine comes out, and it is only supplied to one place, but it is a bit overkill, and if you want to supply it to other places, it is best to beat the fame, so the little nephew said to think, can you ask Lord Thorn Shi to take this new wine as a tribute to our Shuzhou and send some to Chang'an?" ”

Liu Bo pondered for a moment when he heard this, and then said: "You kid is very calculating, this is not even Shuzhou can sit firmly, so you will beat the idea outside...... Well, make a name for yourself with tribute...... Zhou Qiong is an old slippery head, if he doesn't take some benefits, he won't be willing to be a gun for you, well, let's go back and bring a few jars of this wine, let's go to his house to ask for a table of wine to eat, he wants to be in charge of Shuzhou, and he can't do without a local like me, how much he will always sell me some face, but you also have to be prepared to feed him. ”

Li Xi immediately nodded yes when he heard this.

Liu Bo thought for a while and asked, "That Wu Ji is in your house, is it okay?" ”

Li Xi nodded when he heard this, "She...... OK. ”

Thinking of Wu Lan's words in the afternoon, after hesitating for a moment, Li Xi couldn't help but ask: "Uncle, is there any descendant left in the line of the Empress Wu of Emperor Gaozong back then?" ”

Li Xi is a historical idiot, yes, but that doesn't mean that his IQ is not enough, on the contrary, when it comes to his reaction to things and his astuteness, he thinks he is not losing to anyone. Since Wu Lan has already said that her great-grandmother is Wu Zetian, that means that she must be from a certain branch of the Wu family that has been wiped out, so it is obvious that she was smuggled out of the house back then, so she saved a small life.

Since this is the case, then it is normal for her to be shouted and beaten by everyone.

But over the years, although she has traveled from house to house, everyone has only a respectful attitude towards a woman like her, but they don't dare to do anything to her, even if she is so beautiful, but no one dares to covet her, which is inevitably suspicious.

Li Xi thought about it, and was almost sure in his heart that the martial artist back then had not broken its roots. is the only way, for a person like Wu Lan, who only needs to report her name and hand it over to the imperial court, she can immediately be rewarded for her meritorious service, but everyone just stays away and does not dare to do anything to her.

It's a pity that although Li Xi can deduce these things, he has no choice but to know nothing about the current Tang Dynasty politics, so he really doesn't know who else is alive in the current martial arts family and can provide such backing for Wu Ji, but he can't take her away, so he can only let her continue to wander.

And these questions, of course, are the most appropriate to ask Liubo.

This is not only because Liu Bo is a high-ranking official, and at the same time he is his future father-in-law, but also because he threw this hot potato to himself in the first place, regardless of who he asked?

Liu Bo listened to this question, his face suddenly became cautious, he glanced at Li Xi, and suddenly understood in his heart that Li Xi already knew Wu Ji's origin, and thought about his question again, he pondered for a moment before saying: "Her family is in the court, and there is no one left, but among the **, there is indeed a close relative, and she is also the most favored by His Majesty the Emperor at the moment, Concubine Wu Hui." ”

Concubine Wu Hui?

Li Xi was a little big, because he hadn't heard of it at all.

At this time, Liu Bo said slowly: "Concubine Wu Hui is the daughter of Wu Youzhi, the king of Xianheng'an, and speaking of which, she is also the cousin of His Majesty today, because of her father's early death, she has been raised in the palace since she was a child. Now that His Majesty has ascended the throne, he has been quite fond of her. After the abolition of the queen in the twelfth year of Kaiyuan, she named the Wu family as the concubine, and the rank was the same as the queen, and the palace called her 'lady', and her status was extraordinary. Her two younger brothers, Wu Zhong and Wu Xin, also served as the national prince and secretary and supervisor respectively, but unfortunately they are long gone......"

With Liu Bo's explanation, Li Xi roughly figured out the identity of Concubine Wu Hui, and then thought that the history textbook said that the most favored concubine in the Tang Xuanzong period was Yang Yuhuan Yang Guifei, that is to say, Yang Guifei has not entered the palace yet?

It's just that although he figured out the doubts in his heart, another doubt soon popped up, and Li Xi couldn't help asking: "Since there are people in the court, why have they made Wu Ji so displaced all these years?" ”

Liu Bo shook his head and said in a low voice: "Concubine Hui and her family have been close to Your Majesty since they were children, but Wu Ji's family is not. The most important thing is that she was secretly taken out of the house back then, and once her identity is revealed, it will be another catastrophe! ”

Li Xi suddenly realized when he heard this.

Since she was secretly taken out of the house and protected by someone, her identity may not be revealed in this life, because as long as her identity is revealed, an old case will be revealed. And His Majesty the current Emperor was trapped by the Wu family when he was a child, and the hatred for the Wu family in his heart ...... It was a big case back then!

Speaking of this, Liu Bo glanced at Li Xi and said lightly: "There are beautiful women in the world, manly husbands, if you want to achieve a career, you can't be emotional, if you should throw it away, just hurry up and throw it away." ”

Li Xi was suddenly startled when he heard this, and then he realized that the old man was beating himself, and he quickly nodded at the moment.

The old man looked at him and nodded, then took a sip of the teacup, put it down, and narrowed his eyes.

Seeing this, Li Xi hurriedly got up and said goodbye.

The old man didn't say anything, just nodded and said, "Go back and prepare the wine, and I'll let Lan'er pick you up when the time comes." ”

Li Xi promised to exit the door, and after taking the door, he thought about the old man's last warning just now, but he frowned unconsciously-throw it away?

A little reluctant wow!

He sighed and turned his head, but suddenly caught a glimpse of a beautiful figure standing under the osmanthus tree behind the Liuhua Hall not far away.
