"Yes, the meaning of the second uncle and second aunt is to move back to the capital to live."

Wei Jin'er hesitated: "That's right, the capital is the capital in the end, no matter how prosperous Yangzhou is, it can't compare to the capital at the feet of the Son of Heaven." Sister, do you want to move back to Li's house later? ”

She and Wei Lan'er glanced at each other when they heard this, and at the same time showed reluctance.

In terms of the common interests of the Wei family, the two can still be united.

Wei Lan'er followed up and said: "Sister Li, the county lord is your biological mother after all, your mother and daughter have finally been reunited, if you leave, how sad the county lord should be." ”

"Yes, sister, although my mother doesn't have a smiling face all day, it's not aimed at you, she is just cold on the outside and hot on the inside, you will know after a long time."

"Okay, okay, the left and right are in the capital, even if I go back to the Li family, we can see each other often, right?"

Li Qingyi secretly said in his heart, if you want me to stay, it depends on how much sincerity you can show!

On the second day of the fifth month, before the master of the Xuandehou Mansion arrived, the matter had already spread.

Seven or eight shops in the capital put up lanterns and hung up posters, saying that He Dongjia returned to Beijing, and in the past three days, all the things in the shops were sold at half price, and everyone knew that half of the owners of these shops were the Li family, and half were the second wife of the Li family, Ruan's dowry.

Before dawn, the guys in the shops were busy with their feet not touching the ground, and the shopkeepers all flocked to the Xuandehou Mansion.

The mansion of the master, who has not lived in it for more than ten years, has long been re-cleaned and arranged, and at this time there are a lot of strong men gathered in the front yard, all of them are dressed in black and black, and they are all full of energy, all of them have been busy for several days, and they have seen all the small houses in the hands of all the old people in the capital, and all the things that Zhou Zheng can use are hired to help the master's family carry things!

Seeing that the hour was approaching, the shopkeeper Sun took the servants and waited outside the city.

The waterway traveled by the east and west arrived faster than the people.

One by one, they were loaded into the wagon, filled up, and went back to the city.

The first carriage over there entered the Xuandehou Mansion, and there are still things that have not been loaded here.

The battle along the way has already alarmed many people in the capital.

There are a lot of curious people in the city who love to watch the excitement, talking about the old things of the Xuandehou Mansion with relish, and exclaiming: "In the end, it is a family that has gone through a hundred years, and this heritage, even if it is in the capital, is counted." ”

"Isn't it! In other words, what did the old marquis of the Li family say to the old man? ”

"Hey, isn't it just for the incident in Zhenbei Wangfu back then......"

The man's voice lowered, and the obedient person also whispered, "The old marquis of the Li family is a kind person, although the emperor doesn't like him to speak for the Zhenbei Palace, but he is not too embarrassed, just let the children of the Li family be the masters, and leave the capital like this......"

Someone on the side asked, "Then why are you back now?" ”

"I heard that the title of the Li family has fallen to the second master, and he entered Beijing for this matter, but looking at this appearance, he must have to stay in the capital and not leave, after all, he can't keep the children of the family from entering the office, right?"

"What this is saying is that it is good to have a future in the capital, otherwise, no matter how big the family business is, it will be defeated sooner or later."

"Defeated? I can't see it, I heard that many shops in the capital belong to the Li family, you look at this carriage and carriage things, this family business, quite a bit of a thriving meaning. ”

"I know that! My brother-in-law heard his cousin-in-law's owner say that the second wife of the Li family is the daughter of the wealthy Ruan family in Yangzhou, and she has some business methods. ”

"No matter how rich you are, there is no one in the court to be an official, and it is difficult to keep this business, otherwise how can the Li family return to Beijing!"

"What is said is what is said!"

In the private room near the window of Yanyue Building, Li Qingyi listened to the discussions of the people below, and his thoughts drifted far away.

Although Yangzhou City is not as expensive as the capital, and there are high-ranking officials and nobles everywhere, it is located at the confluence of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal and the Yangtze River, with very few hills, and is basically a vast plain. After succeeding to the throne, attention was paid to the construction of water conservancy, and Yangzhou's natural geographical advantages were fully utilized.

Not only wheat, rice, fish, shrimp and crabs are abundant, but the planting of mulberry hemp tea and bamboo is sufficient, and the corresponding downstream industries such as textile tea making and weaving pharmaceuticals are also far ahead. In addition, Yangzhou also has abundant sea salt resources, and the people mostly boil salt as their business, and they are many wealthy businessmen in Yangzhou.

At the beginning, Li Qingyi's father was appointed as a salt and iron transit envoy, and the second wife Ruan's maiden family was a salt merchant in Yangzhou, and the two families appreciated each other, and then married in-law.

However, after the death of Li Qingyi's father, the Ruan family was also affected, and they couldn't get salt introductions, so they changed their careers to the textile industry.

The old lady of the Ruan family has capital and brains, even if she can't do salt and iron business, she is still one of the richest businessmen in Yangzhou.

Therefore, the second lady Ruan has a lot of money, her eyes are never on the money, and the only thing she thinks about is the title that the Li family should inherit.

Just like the people downstairs said, there is no one in the court, and no matter how big the family business is, it can't be kept.

After Li Qingyi entered Beijing in his previous life, the Ruan family realized that he had been deceived by the county lord of Yuanheng, and tried every possible means to save Li Qingyi from getting out, but unfortunately the Wei family not only targeted Li Qingyi as a person, but also targeted the Li family's family business, and used Li Qingyi as a bait to deceive the Ruan family again and again.

Although the Ruan family has a business mind, the affairs of the back house are not satisfactory, where can they calculate the Wei family.

In order to keep Li Qingyi alive, he had to compromise again and again, and finally scattered his family wealth and lingered on the sickbed, after learning that Li Qingyi was given to Qin Zeng by the Wei family, his heart was severely damaged, and he vomited blood and died.

Xiang Lan and Chang Ning stood on either side of Li Qingyi, listening to the bursts of discussion downstairs, they were a little unsure of the master's intentions.

Everyone knows the truth that wealth is not exposed, and it is easy for people to remember such a big fanfare to publicize their rich family background.

Sheen Lan asked, "Girl, what is the idea of this at home?" ”

Li Qingyi did not shy away from Changning, and said: "Do you think that if you don't reveal your wealth, you won't be targeted?" ”

"Huh? What does the girl mean, someone has been eyeing our family for a long time? ”

"Yes......" Li Qingyi responded softly, and was silent for a moment before saying: "I am the eldest daughter of the Li family, before my grandmother left, she gave me half of the family business in the house, and the second aunt treated me like a daughter, and she is a person who doesn't value silver, as long as she holds me firmly in her hands, won't the Li family be grabbed by others?" ”

Huan Lan was stunned, and Changning was shocked.

She couldn't have said it more bluntly.

Who can hold Li Qingyi?

In addition to the Li family, it is the county lord of Yuanheng, who is Li Qingyi's biological mother.

Who can hold the Lord of Yuanheng?

Of course, it was Wei Shicheng, the only backer of the county lord of Yuanheng at this time.

In the previous life, the Li family was quietly "eaten" by Wei Shicheng, and no one in the world knew about it.

Because few people remember the Xuandehou Mansion, and no one knows that the Li family has a huge family business.

Even if the Li family resisted, they were covered up by the Wei family, and they couldn't make a splash.

Xiang Lan's face became ugly, "When we first arrived at the Wei Mansion, the Wei family couldn't wait to kill the slaves and maids, it seems that the idea is not only to control the girl, but also to make the girl have no one around her, and completely lose contact with the Hou Mansion, and there is no one who can ventilate the news......"

Changning was even more shocked when he heard this, and looked at Li Qingyi without saying anything.

Li Qingyi looked at her and smiled: "What do you have to ask?" ”

Changning hesitated for a moment and asked, "Since the girl knows that the Wei family is uneasy and kind, why do you want to stay in the Wei family?" ”
