He told Li Zhuohang everything about the situation in Huizhou, firstly, this was his duty, and secondly, he wanted to ask Li Zhuohang to guide him.

Needless to say, Li Zhuohang has been properly investigated and arranged along the way, and only the officialdom needs to be explained in detail.

Li Zhuohang has his own set of rules for officialdom entertainment, and not just anyone is willing to flatter. For example, in the official face of Huizhou, the Li family was originally befriended by Ge Ting, the master of Qian Gu of the Yamen of She County, who was the lowest figure in the Huizhou officialdom, and had some connections in the yamen and in the market. Li Zhuohang is low-key in business, and he doesn't want to be eye-catching, because he doesn't want to deal with upper-level officials, so he only flatters him.

In the past two years, Li Zhuoyuan has established a relationship with Wang Zhao, the envoy of Huizhou.

Wang Zhao is a side branch of the Wang family in the capital, and he married the daughter of Li Zhuohang's grandfather Guo family.

Li Zhuohang listened to Li Zhuoyuan's words, although he was displeased, but he did not show it, he was surprised by another thing: according to the news from the Yamen of the Inspector Si, it was said that the Qinghua Mansion had rebelled against the people, and the Huizhou Government had asked the local forbidden army to suppress it.

Li Zhuohang said: "Is this news true? ”

Li Zhuoyuan said: "Really." The head of the family came from Qinghua Mansion, but was he frightened? I heard that the victims went to our Taiping Silk Village to rob it. Don't worry, Lord Wang said, after the destruction of the rebellious people and the liquidation of losses, the yamen will compensate in full. ”

Li Zhuohang asked, "Who gave the order?" ”

Li Zhuoyuan said: "This is not clear. Also, Lord Wang knows that the head of the family is coming to Huizhou in the near future and wants to see the head of the family. ”

He spoke with a smug tone.

That's the network he runs.

Li Zhuohang was even more displeased, secretly blaming him for revealing his itinerary, so that if he didn't go to visit Wang Zhao, he would inevitably offend the other party.

But it is obviously unwise to make excuses at this time.

Li Zhuohang said: "In this case, I will invite him to a banquet at noon tomorrow." You go and arrange. I'm going to rest and recuperate for the night. ”

He wanted to find out about the transfer.

Li Zhuoyuan hurriedly agreed.

Li Zhuohang asked again: "But is there anything else?" ”

Li Zhuoyuan said: "Li Tongsheng is also in Huizhou Mansion. I have been here for more than a year, and I haven't gone back for the New Year, leaving my daughter-in-law and son at home. ”

Li Zhuohang said: "He has to work hard." ”

Li Zhuoyuan said contemptuously: "It's good to work hard." He mingled with a few old boys from the county school all day long, listening to songs, listening to songs, and reciting poems, and he didn't know how long those gold bars would be enough for him to spend. What to do when the flowers are finished. ”

Li Zhuohang said: "Why bother with him. ”

Then he got up and went back.

Li Zhuoyuan said this because he was afraid that Li Zhuohang would still worry about Li Tianhua, and now seeing that he ignored Li Zhuoran, he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly got up to send him off.

At noon the next day, Li Zhuohang hosted a banquet in Huiyue Tower to invite the envoy Wang Zhao of Huizhou.

Li Zhuohang and Li Zhuoyuan arrived first, and Wang's mother and Ning'er also came.

Since you have come to Huizhou, of course, you have to eat the flavor food here, such as the civet cats of Huangshan. Li Zhuohang ordered all kinds of mountain delicacies and game, and Wang's mother packed them in a food box, and Mowu helped them send them back and gave them to Li Hanyao to eat.

Li Zhuohang and Li Zhuoyuan waited in the private room on the second floor for half an hour before Wang Zhao came, and when they heard the rumor, the two hurriedly greeted them.

Wang Zhao was about fifty years old, very arrogant, and swept Li Zhuohang when he saw him, ready to pass him in first, and wait for him to sit down before talking, which was his style as an official. However, he saw that Li Zhuohang's appearance was extraordinary, his bearing was elegant, not like a businessman, but like a literati, and he was young, so he put away his contempt, stopped in front of Li Zhuohang, pulled a smile, and asked, "Is this Master Li?" A talent! ”

Li Zhuohang hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said, "The villain doesn't dare to be an adult. ”

Li Zhuoyuan was also busy introduced: "This is the head of my Li family, Li Zhuohang, the epigraph ark, and the nephew of Master Guo." ”

Wang Zhao smiled: "We are our own family. ”

Li Zhuohang let him in.

Wang Zhao only brought one henchman in, and the rest were waiting outside. In the private room, the guest sat down, Li Zhuohang glanced at Li Zhuoyuan, handed over the tea and food to him to arrange, and accompanied Wang Zhao to talk.

Wang Zhao saw that he was calm and calm, and he was not servile, and looked up to him by two points, so he asked him about the situation in his family, whether he was good or bad, and asked him about his details.

Li Zhuohang also wanted to inquire about his relationship with the Wang family in the capital, because he said: "Although the villain is a businessman, he has also read a few books, and the most admired is the prince of the dynasty - husband and wife are juxtaposed in the court, which is rare in ancient and modern times." The adult was born in a famous family, influenced by the fragrance of books and ink, and followed the ancestral teachings of the Wang family, and the strange way was extraordinary. ”

Wang Zhao heard this, his body and mind were comfortable, his smile deepened, and he didn't realize that he had changed the topic, so he gushed endlessly: open his mouth "Wang Xiang", close his mouth "Lord Liang"; He also said that the two adults were born in Huizhou since childhood, and entered the imperial examination in Huizhou, and attached great importance to the governance of the people in Huizhou, and he was an official here, conscientious and conscientious, walking on thin ice, lest he live up to the expectations of the two adults, and between the words, it seemed that he was sent by Wang Heng and Liang Xinming to guard Huizhou for them.

Li Zhuohang listened with a smile, interjecting from time to time, leading him to keep talking, but he was very suspicious in his heart: Is he really so trusted by Wang Heng and Liang Xinming?

When it was small, the dishes were ready.

Li Zhuohang personally took the lamp and persuaded the wine and food.

Wang Zhao said that it took a long time to have fun.

Li Zhuohang always listened respectfully and carefully.

Wang Zhao saw that he was well-founded, and he added appreciation.

Because I thought: Isn't it a pity that he is so young, handsome, and has such a big family business, but he doesn't have a son to inherit the family business?

Wang Zhao was a little tempted.

Although he is powerful, he has no wealth, he has been an official for decades, and he has a lot of income, but compared with Li Zhuohang, he is still a heaven and an underground. - These big textile merchants, he knows their family very well.

He remembered that he was a concubine, but she was raised in the outer room, and it was not easy to say a decent family business, so it was better to be a concubine for Li Zhuohang. Although Li Zhuohang has a wife, how can he compare to his daughter and have a backer. Moreover, if the daughter is lucky enough to give birth to a son, will this huge furniture not be in the pocket! Even if you can't give birth, you are not afraid, with his support, you will not let this family business fall into the hands of outsiders.

After thinking about it, he said to Li Zhuohang: "At this age, the virtuous nephew guards this big family business, and his knees are empty, and the future is worrying. This official has a suitable candidate, who can be a good concubine with the virtuous nephew and help the virtuous nephew spread the branches......"

Before he knew it, he even changed his name.

Li Zhuohang's heart was tight, he had already guessed his intentions, if he waited for him to recommend himself as a "little girl" or "niece" and then refused, I am afraid that his face would not be able to go up and down, and he would be annoyed and angry. didn't care about the etiquette at the moment, and interrupted without waiting for him to finish speaking, and said: "The adults are kind, but the villains may be difficult to get their lives." The last words of the late mother when she was dying were that villains were not allowed to take concubines. ”

Wang Zhao was surprised: "Why is this? ”

Li Zhuohang said: "Because the villain's ancestors have been passed down for five or six generations, and the bloodline from generation to generation comes from the wife, no matter how many concubines are accepted, it is useless." ”

Wang Zhao was surprised: "There is such a thing? ”

Li Zhuohang said: "Don't dare to deceive adults. ”

Wang Zhao said: "But hasn't your wife already given birth to one?" It's a daughter. It can be seen that there is no chance. What should I do if I don't take a concubine? ”

Li Zhuohang said firmly: "Don't worry. The meaning of the first mother, let the villain wait patiently. The heir of my Li family must be a son-in-law. The first mother became pregnant when she was forty years old and gave birth to a villain; Cheap is still young, and there is no chance. ”

He simply blocked the conversation.

Wang Zhao still didn't give up, and he still had to persuade him.
