Chapter 304: Being Fooled
On the day of the Shangsi Festival, Wuzhang Wind shined again.
Qi Yu followed the original agreement and summoned Liu Ji.
It is not the first time that Liu Ji has met Tianyan, but this time is different from the past, but it is related to the fate of him and the entire Liu family - if he is lucky, the Liu family will start to get involved in officialdom from him!
Because Qi Yu wanted to let Wuzhang Feng act as his eyes and ears in the future, he focused on relevant matters, from customers to each person's expenses.
Liu Ji replied respectfully one by one.
"Thanks to the gifts of His Majesty and the Queen, the small shop can now be handed over to dignitaries, the business is good, and the road is wider...... By the way, even the family members of Lord Shoufu's family deigned to come to the shop......" Liu Ji knew everything.
Qi Yu's heart moved when he heard this, and he interrupted: "Really? I wonder what styles of paper kites did Motosuke's family buy? ”
Buying paper kites is not a big deal, not to mention that Wuzhangfeng is just a folk shop, it is royal, and the family members of Lord Shoufu can also go to visit as an ordinary store - who made Lord Shoufu speak harder than him, the emperor!
It's just that Zhang Gui has always taught him to be frugal and virtuous, and he has always stayed away from these things, so as not to lose his mind from playthings. Even his favorite calligraphy, which is regarded as a thing by Jang Gui, does not take a little time......
I don't know why Jang Gyu is so indulgent to his family...... Zhang Gui, who indulges his family, is he really thrifty and not extravagant as he said in private......
Liu Ji didn't know anything about this, and when he saw His Majesty the Emperor asking, he replied honestly: "Back to Your Majesty's words, the people who come to the shop are the concubines of Lord Shoufu, and more than a dozen gorgeous ladies have each picked the best and most expensive paper kites in the shop, including colorful Feiluan, Yunzhongxian, and Baifu...... Thanks to Lord Shoufu's face, the shop made a lot of money......"
"A dozen concubines?" Qi Yu was surprised in his heart.
Zhang Gui is also quite strict with the female sex, and the selection of concubines after the establishment is just in accordance with the ancestral system, but he is never allowed to indulge women, even when he was going to move to Kunning Palace to eat and live with Huang Yi'an, he was reprimanded by Zhang Gui several times, until the Empress Dowager Li came forward to persuade the imperial heir, and the matter was settled.
But Zhang Gui himself has more than a dozen concubines......
Qi Yu's hand resting on his lap slowly clenched, and his expression gradually became solemn.
Seeing this, Liu Ji was terrified, and hurriedly said: "That's true, the grass people don't dare to deceive Your Majesty and slander Lord Shoufu......"
As Liu Ji spoke, he was about to get up and bow down.
Qi Yu regained his expression and stopped him with a smile: "I don't have this intention, you don't have to panic." ”
Of course, Liu Ji didn't dare to slander Lord Shoufu, so Zhang Gui, who had always been strict with his frugality and diligence, raised more than a dozen concubines, and also spent money like land to connive at them to buy paper kites in Wuzhang style, which must be the truth.
Heh, this is only one end, I'm afraid that Lord Shousuke, who is dressed simply and luxuriously on the surface, doesn't know how many things are hidden from him behind his back!
When Zhang Gui watched him honestly follow his teacher's requirements for thrift, would his heart be full of pride and mockery?
Playing with the king of a country in the palm of his hand is really a great achievement!
Qi Yu's heart was full of anger at being fooled.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the surging emotions, and said to Liu Ji: "I have a matter to be handed over to you to do, if you do it well, I will have my own use!" ”
Liu Ji was overjoyed, and knelt on the ground to thank him: "The grass people, but according to His Majesty's orders, they will never give up!" ”
