Chapter 123: Blackmail

Famous families, the most important thing is intrigue and inflammation.

The day before, Li Lanqi picked up the Deshuixuan dim sum box that Mu Rui helped him "bring", and went to the backyard to honor Depingbo Li Ming and Sun, the housewife.

At this time, he was chatting with his uncle Wang Chengxian, the second son of the Wang family, who came to visit him, and the content was nothing more than the same that he could not be ungrateful, and he could not get the eyes of the three princes himself, so he forgot the past, and the Wang family took care of their mother and son.

In front of them, there was another De Shui Xuan dim sum food box, which was the one he had brought to honor his mother Wang the day before.

"It's rare for my brother to come over, eat some snacks, eat some snacks."

"It's really worthy of being made by Chef Deshui Xuan, this taste is really better than that made by the imperial chef."

In a year, I didn't see anyone from my mother's house.

Suddenly came today, or the brother closest to him, the Wang family naturally wanted to show a good performance to prove that he was doing well in the Depingbo Mansion, and took this opportunity to ask his mother's family for some help to help his only remaining son, Li Lanqi, to compete for the possibility of inheriting the title.

"My mother is getting older, and in recent days, she has become more and more fond of sweets."

Wang Chengxian nodded lightly, followed Wang's politeness, picked up a piece of dim sum, sent it to his lips and bit a small bite, and then, pretending to regret, "complained" to Wang.

"It's just that our team, the people are thin, and those who are officials in the DPRK and China can't be regarded as working together, and they have nothing to do with Deshuixuan."

"Thinking of me, I can be regarded as a person who is close to the sixtieth year, but I am spending half my life in vain, and I can't even find a way to honor my mother and buy delicious snacks for her, which is really unfilial and ......."

"It's like you, your son is filial, and your daughter is married well, although she is a flat wife, she is what only a housewife should have, and you don't lack everything......"

After that, Wang Chengxian took out a handkerchief, bowed his head, and wiped away the tears that were not half a drop at all.

He meant it clearly.

He wants to take away this whole box of snacks and go to "filial piety" with their mother, the old lady of the Wang family, if the Wang family does not agree, there is no need to talk about the next matter.

"Look at what my brother said, it's just a box of expensive dim sum, so what's the matter, you have to drag the relationship, so you can buy it!"

"That De Shui Xuan, isn't it the first and fifteenth day of each month, and fifty boxes of take-out reservations will be received?"

Hearing that Wang Chengxian didn't want to bother with half a polite sentence, and bluntly said that he asked for a snack box with himself, how could Wang not be annoyed?

This is her baby son, used to honor her, she hasn't shown it enough, who would have thought that this is "out of the teacher", burning incense attracts ghosts!

"Listening to my sister's words, I haven't been out for a long time."

As Wong said, on the first and fifteenth days of each month, 50 takeaway snack boxes will be sold.

But Yanjing's famous family, how much more than fifty?

Which famous family, there are not ten or eight, who want to please their parents and have plenty of money?

The five major princes alone have to rob half of these food boxes, plus the favored ladies in the palace, the wheat father-in-law who serves by the emperor's side, and the "factory father" of the east and west factories......

Lin Lin finally came down, and what he could leave to them could only be regarded as divided by the second- and third-class families, but in fact, there were not even ten boxes.

Even if he didn't fall every time, the night before, after Deshui Xuan closed down, he sent people to wait on the side of the suspension bridge, and the number of times he could get his wish was only a handful.

"I'm not afraid of my brother's jokes, since the winter, the slave family has never gone out, only with Lan Qi's flat wife Zhang, who only married in the door last year, to make clothes and swaddling clothes for the unborn doll."

Seeing that Wang Chengxian had made up his mind, he had to take what he liked, so Wang had to give in.

She still has to count on her mother's family to help her a lot.

If it's just for a box of dim sum, it's unpleasant to have trouble with Wang Chengxian, and it's really not worth it.

Although she really wants to keep this box of dim sum and save face a few more times, it is indispensable to bow her head for the sake of Li Lanqi's future.

"Lan Qi didn't tell you that the current Deshui Xuan has been taken down by the three princesses?"

After all the requests, Wang Chengxian's mood suddenly improved.

He smiled and put the piece of dim sum in his hand into his mouth unhurriedly, and then took the lid that was placed next to him and covered the dim sum box to take away when he left.

On this day that is neither the first day nor the fifteenth day of the new year, a box of dim sum made by Chef Deshui Xuan is something that will make many people's eyes red, he doesn't dare to say nonsense, but it can be exchanged for him, and there is no doubt about the joy of the two elders of the Wang family.

If you don't want to, or can't make money from the place where you work, you can only rely on family subsidies to hope for a high promotion.

The rules of the royal family are strict, and those who violate the law of the country are never tolerated.

Therefore, Wang Chengxian, who worked in the Ministry of Rites, did not dare to learn from people who were greedy for ink, so he could only find ways to make his father and mother happy in order to increase the expenditure of his own hospital.

"Got De Shui Xuan?"

"The whole?"

"My boy!"

"That's it, that's how much silver!"

The Wang family really didn't know that Liu Qingxin "contracted" Deshuixuan.

First, a few days ago, Li Lanqi was driven to Zhuangzi outside the city, which made her unable to lift her spirits and pay attention to the affairs of others.

Second, Deping Bo Li Ming ordered her feet to be banned, she was trapped in the courtyard, and she couldn't even send a letter to her mother's family, so there could be no source at all.

Think of Nade Shuixuan, wrap a room, use it to rest during the "Hundred Flowers Banquet", excluding refreshments, you have to pay thousands of taels of silver, and you can pay for a small banquet of three or five people......

Chartered the entire Deshui Xuan.

Tsk, don't say that ordinary people don't dare to think about it, even she, a young lady from a famous family, doesn't dare to think about it!

"I'm afraid it's not something that gold and silver can do."

His chin was slightly raised, and he glanced at Wang, who couldn't close his mouth in surprise, Wang Chengxian sighed lightly, picked up the tea cup in front of him, and took a small sip.

"There is news that it is the master of the third princess, who has a life-saving grace for the shopkeeper of De Shui Xuan, and the shopkeeper, when he heard that his only apprentice was about to marry, he deliberately vacated the entire De Shui Xuan and gave her a marriage."

"It is also rumored that the master of the third princess is the real owner of Deshui Xuan."

"There are also people who talk about the fact that the three princesses of the Dao have two completely different temperaments, when they are as childish as a three-year-old child, when they are cunning like a nine-tailed demon fox, and they don't know when they change, and they don't know what each other does."

"Yesterday, I specially sent someone to go to the secret shop of Tianmen in Yanjing, intending to buy the news of the third princess with a lot of money, but I was told by the shopkeeper that they couldn't do this business."

"After that, I sent someone to the dark shop of the Broken Nian Building, and the scene was exactly the same as that of the Heavenly Gate."

Speaking of this, Wang Chengxian paused slightly, took a deep breath, raised his head, and looked meaningfully at Li Lanqi who was sitting next to him.

With smart people, you don't need to say it too clearly and explicitly, otherwise, it will put both sides of the dialogue in an embarrassing situation, Wang Chengxian understands this truth, and Li Lanqi also understands it.

"Yesterday, the incident happened suddenly, and His Royal Highness was seriously injured again, and it was inconvenient for Lan Qi to go to disturb him, so he never visited the princess."

Li Lanqi had heard all the versions of the rumors that Wang Chengxian said.

It's just that Celestial Gate and Broken Nian Lou refused at the same time, and the investigation of Liu Qingxin made him quite unexpected.

The north takes the sky, the south breaks the thought, the Zhongzhou smells the wind, and the west rides the luan.

Heaven's Gate.

Broken Nian Building.

Wenfukan.

Chengluan Palace.

Along with inquiring about information and taking people's lives, among the four most famous "Jianghu sects", the first and second ranked first, and at the same time did not mention the identity of a person.

This casually makes anyone who "understands the market" look at it, and it is impossible to think that Liu Qingxin, the third princess, is an ordinary person.

Although these sects have rules that they will not disclose their employers to outsiders regardless of whether the transaction is successful or not, who can guarantee that there are no exceptions to this "rule" that there are "extralegal circumstances"?

Fortunately, he didn't have the spur of the moment and sent someone to the secret shop of the Heavenly Gate to inquire about the news.

Thinking of this, Li Lanqi's back was unconsciously covered with beads of cold sweat.

"I don't know, can my uncle send someone to the Wenfeng Pavilion and the dark shop of Chengluan Palace to try their luck?"

Li Lanqi thought of a possibility.

Although it was just a guess, it made him inexplicably excited.

Wang Chengxian had already tried two of them, but if not, he instigated him to try the other two as well.

If, as he had guessed, then he would occupy an absolute advantageous position, stand out among the children of the Deping Bo Mansion, and secure the inheritance of the title!

"Even the Heavenly Gate and the Broken Nian Building have rejected this matter, the other two, is it necessary to try?"

Seeing Li Lanqi's eyes, which suddenly flashed, Wang Chengxian couldn't help but be stunned.

This nephew of his, who had always been moody and angry, ...... today Could it be that he thought of something, about the possibility of the mysterious third princess?

"If we can inquire, we get what we want, and if it is not good, we will be rejected again, right?"

Li Lanqi's joy was fleeting.

He smiled kindly, looked at Wang Chengxian unchanged in front of the landslide, and said a "suggestion" to him in a tone of "I just ask casually".

"Yes."

"It's just a reward of a few taels of silver for the errand runners."

Wang Chengxian knew that Li Lanqi already had an idea.

It's just that for the time being, at least before he sent someone to Wenfeng Pavilion and Chengluan Palace to inquire about the news of the third princess, Li Lanqi had no plan to tell him his thoughts.

Moreover, judging by Li Lanqi's attitude, he should not dare, or say, he can't send his own people to inquire about the secret shops of these two houses.
