Chapter 598: Why bother
There is a prostitute who took off her shoes directly and began to dance, you must know that in this era, bare feet are the same as bare breasts is the same indecent, even if it is a prostitute, it is not easy to show her feet in public places, and several other women looked at her in surprise, and then worked harder and harder.
They heard Li Huinan say that he was here to perform for the prefect, not to mention Li Huinan's heavy reward, if they climbed into the prefect's bed, maybe they could also jump into the dragon gate with a carp, and they all wanted to come out on top.
And Gu Jinghuai couldn't help laughing when he looked at this, and there was a smile on his cold face, with a hint of softness, which made everyone present feel like a spring breeze, and they almost couldn't extricate themselves from it.
"It seems that the prefect likes it, then these are left to you, and I will retire next." Li Huinan gave them a look and was about to leave, and the women were eager to try.
"Stop." Gu Jinghuai said coldly: "I'm laughing at you for being stupid!" If these women are really that good, you can bring back a group of wives and concubines yourself, so why worry about people you shouldn't be worried about. ”
Li Huinan stopped, full of anger, but what Gu Jinghuai said was also true, although he thought these people were good, he didn't feel that there was a trace of being able to compare with Shen Yuerong, and Gu Jinghuai and Shen Yuerong got along day and night, and they knew that Shen Yuerong was good, and they would not be tempted by these people.
Gu Jinghuai said condescendingly: "Li Huinan, I advise you not to waste your efforts, waste your silver taels, and waste the official's time, if you can find a woman as good as her, you can bring it back yourself." ”
The meaning of Gu Jinghuai's words is obvious, he is not interested in the people Li Huinan found, if Li Huinan can really find a woman who is better than Shen Yuerong, then Li Huinan will take it away by himself, and he will not worry about it.
And Li Huinan is really so hot that he can't do it, he has grown so big, and it is the first time he has eaten deflated like this, he is about to go crazy.
"Lord Prefect, the gambling time has not yet arrived, you wait!" After speaking, Li Huinan angrily took those women away, some women were reluctant to leave, and even wanted to step forward, but Gu Jinghuai looked at him honestly, so he could only leave unwillingly.
Gu Jinghuai shook his head, and then continued to busy himself with his own affairs.
And Li Shang learned that Li Huinan sent people in, but a cup of tea was brought out again, so he moved his mind to Li Rou.
He hurriedly sent someone to pick up Li Rou back, he was counting on selling a few shops, and walking around with silver taels during the New Year, otherwise the Li family could only barely survive on a little business from other places, and they would really be so depressed.
It was so ugly last time, Li Rou didn't plan to come back, but thinking of the days spent in the Gao family these days, she knew that she couldn't give up her father's backer at will, otherwise the Gao family was afraid that it would be worse for her, so she took Gao Xinjie, and the two set foot on the land of Qingzhou again.
"Why does it have to be a woman? Dad, don't you think it's strange? This Li Huinan must have some ulterior secrets. Li Rou heard Li Shang tell what happened, and immediately sensed that something was wrong.
It's okay to send two pieces of silver to the government, and it's okay to send antique calligraphy and paintings, but Li Huinan only sent women, and sent them several times.
Li Shang nodded and said, "What if something is wrong?" In business, my father just wants to make this business, besides, if this woman is delivered, Shen Yuerong will not have a good life, don't you want to see it? ”
Li Shang clearly remembered that Li Rou knew some Shen Yuerong better, they had more contact before, so naturally they had heard about Gu Jinghuai, and later Li Rou's experience also had a lot to do with Shen Yuerong, and he knew best what Li Rou was virtuous.
Sure enough, Li Rou just thought of Gu Jinghuai's concubine and Shen Yuerong's deflated appearance, so she already covered her mouth happily and snickered.
"Dad, it's not okay to send me away, this Shen Yuerong said, Gu Jinghuai is from a big family in Beijing, I haven't seen any bewitching women, besides, this Qingzhou woman, no matter how beautiful she is, she can't be more beautiful than Shen Yuerong, it's just a waste of effort."
Even if she doesn't like Shen Yuerong, she has to admit that Shen Yuerong's beauty surpasses that of Qingzhou's original No. 1 Yu Xiang, so even if Li Huinan searches Qingzhou, she can't find anyone who can enter Gu Jinghuai's eyes.
Li Shang couldn't help but sigh and shake his head when he thought of this, he didn't know what to do for a while, could he only let Li Huinan, the fat fish, leave?
There are not many industries in his own country, so of course there is no problem in living, but he is ambitious, and he doesn't want to stop like this.
Li Rou's mind moved, and then said: "Dad, I have a way, but you have to give me a shop first, and I don't want a lot of good ones, just the one in the alley." ”
She has been covering the dowry, but fortunately, the Gao family is not a poor family, but she didn't care about her dowry, just asked a few words.
But because of what happened last time, the Gao family's attitude towards her has changed, and she now urgently needs these external materials to keep her status, especially the competition with the concubine, this dowry is the main event.
The corners of Li Shang's mouth twitched, and he wanted to say that this business with Li Huinan had not yet been completed, but he was deceived by Li Rou's daughter first, wouldn't it be a big loss.
Li Rou saw that Li Shang hesitated, and got up directly: "If Dad doesn't want to, I'll go back immediately, your shop is empty and empty, why can't you take a look." ”
She was sure that Li Shang needed money this time, especially when it was almost the New Year, and she had to walk around with silver taels, and she was not greedy, so she chose a relatively cheap shop, thinking that Li Shang would consider it.
Li Shang really relented: "Okay, I'll give it to you when it comes right." ”
Li Rou was angry, it was done, let's not say whether the thing would work out or not, even if it did, I was afraid that this father would regret it again, after all, the dowry promised when he got married has not been given, and what kind of dowry money is there, anyway, it is not the first time that my father has deceived people.
"No! You have to give it to me first, or I'll go home with Xinjie now. ”
The big deal is in the Gao family, as always, Li Rou has made up her mind this time, and she will definitely not trade at a loss.
Li Shang finally said some soft words, and even gave Li Rou to the two shops after taking out the matter, but he didn't let go, and finally he had to let go himself.
"Rou'er, either Daddy will write you a note first, and when things are halfway through, at least you can see the hope of success before you can change your name, otherwise aren't you a white wolf with empty gloves?" This is Li Shang's final bottom line, and it's a big deal to break up.
Li Rou really has no choice, this father is too calculating, she doesn't lose at all, and she can only compromise.
"Okay, we'll write the note right away." The two signed on the spot and pressed their handprints.
"The note is finished, Rou'er, what are your tricks?" Li Shang couldn't wait.
