Chapter 40: Tempting Each Other

Before going out, Cheng Shuiyao glanced at the dagger on the table and silently put it into his sleeve.

Businessmen have always been unprofitable and cannot afford to be early, and this banquet is probably a thank-you and a threat.

It is not necessarily accurate to say which one is heavier and which is lighter.

The dagger had been given to her by Jerusonach before, but she hadn't used it then, and hopefully she wouldn't use it tonight.

With a silent sigh in her heart, Cheng Shuiyao pushed open the door and followed Xiao Ji downstairs.

The carriage of the Li Mansion was already waiting outside, and the two of them calmly got into the carriage, and then the carriage drove towards the Li Mansion.

This place is not far from the Li Mansion, and it seems that in the blink of an eye, the two of them have already arrived at the door.

"Please get out of the car," the servant respectfully lifted the footstool out and set it up for the two.

Xiao Ji helped Cheng Shuiyao get out of the car, and then pulled her into the house.

Today's Li Mansion knows at a glance that it has been carefully arranged, not to mention the bright lights placed everywhere in the courtyard, just looking at the silk hanging down from the beams of the house, you can know that it is a big thought.

"It's a long way off!" Li Shanhai hurriedly ran out, with a hint of panic on his face, but it was a little fake.

Xiao Ji quickly hated beating around the bush, and immediately raised his eyebrows and smiled, "What did Master Li call us to do today?" ”

"Let's talk about it first," Li Shanhai was stunned for a moment, then immediately returned to the expression just now, and walked into the room with the two of them.

There were already dancing girls dancing in the house, Li Fangfei stood aside, and when she saw the two coming, she hurriedly greeted them.

She deliberately dressed up tonight, her eyes were like autumn water, her face was like the moon, and the pomegranate-colored pleated skirt on her body was extremely exquisite, making her particularly delicate

is the so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, not to mention that Li Fangfei doesn't necessarily know what Li Shanhai thinks.

Cheng Shuiyao didn't have much hostility towards her, so she smiled and said, "Today's Miss Li is really stunning. ”

Li Fangfei covered her mouth and smiled when she heard this, obviously she was extremely useful, but her words were full of modesty.

"Cheng Niangzi has said, where can my carefully carved beauty compare to your natural beauty?"

"Don't gather here, sit down first," Li Shanhai saw that Cheng Shuiyao and Li Fangfei had a tendency to chat, so he quickly interrupted the two and led them to their seats to sit down.

Rows of maidservants poured in, placing food and drink on the table in front of the four of them, and the aroma of food filled the hall.

"Master Li is worthy of being a wealthy businessman here, this is really big," Cheng Shuiyao glanced at the food and said with a light smile.

"You guys are also from the capital, if you entertain you with something that is not in the stream, won't this slap me Li Shanhai in the face?" Li Shanhai smiled, then raised his glass and toasted to the two.

"I heard Fei'er say that if it weren't for Cheng Niangzi's words that moved her, she might have missed such a good son-in-law, so I invite you to come today, mainly to thank Cheng Niangzi for connecting Fei'er and the Barbarian King, I will drink this glass of wine first as a tribute."

After that, Li Shanhai drank all the wine in the cup, and turned the mouth of the cup upside down, indicating that there was not a drop of wine left.

"Master Li has a good amount of wine," Cheng Shuiyao smiled, "It's just that I've never been strong enough to drink, I'm afraid I can't stand this glass of wine that Master Li respects." ”

"Blame me for not thinking it through," Li Shanhai didn't mean to persecute at all, and directly beckoned his subordinates to serve a cup of fruit.

"This fruit drink is made from fresh fruits, Cheng Niangzi can drink and see." Li Shanhai smiled and introduced the origin of this cup of fruit drink, and then waved his hand to signal his subordinates to fill Cheng Shuiyao.

"Then I'll thank Master Li," Cheng Shuiyao didn't shirk anymore, she directly picked up the cup and drank it all, following Li Shanhai's example and turning the mouth of the cup.

"Mrs. Cheng is really refreshing," Li Shanhai laughed, watching Xiao Ji finish the wine in the cup without a sound, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.

Putting down the glasses, everyone sat down and began to enjoy the dance music in front of them.

The sound of the pipa was particularly exciting, and although Cheng Shuiyao couldn't understand what she was playing, it didn't delay her appreciation.

"Cheng Niangzi is also a wealthy lady, I heard that the girls in the capital are all talented, I don't know what Cheng Niangzi is good at, can you show us something?" Li Shanhai suddenly became interested and looked at Cheng Shuiyao with a smile.

"Master Li must be drunk," Xiao Ji turned his head coldly, his eyes were a little cold, "No matter how bad my wife is, she is also the wife of a pure white family now, how can she follow these dancing girls and dance at will?" ”

"Look at my mouth," Li Shanhai hurriedly patted his mouth, "Please don't mind Mrs. Cheng." ”

"It's okay," Cheng Shuiyao lowered his eyes sideways, and said lightly: "I really don't know any skills, but Master Li is not very happy when he sees it." ”

This can be regarded as giving Li Shanhai a step, Xiao Ji glanced at Cheng Shuiyao, although he felt that Cheng Shuiyao's posture was a little low, but he didn't say anything, and directly lifted the stubble.

After three rounds of drinking, Li Fangfei couldn't hold it anymore, and after saying goodbye to Cheng Shuiyao and Xiao Ji, she followed her back to the room to rest.

Cheng Shuiyao saw that she was gone, so she turned her head to look at Li Shanhai.

"Miss Li is gone, Master Li has something to say directly."

"Mrs. Cheng is really smart," Li Shanhai was slightly surprised, but quickly lowered his expression, and still opened his mouth with a smile, "I heard that Mrs. Cheng wants to take advantage of the trade between us and the barbarian tribe, so I feel that something is wrong." ”

"What's wrong?" Cheng Shuiyao had a smile on her face, and there was no sign of turning her face at all.

Li Shanhai only thought that she didn't understand, so she immediately spoke, "Although they are all trade, our transactions with the barbarian tribe are not a small amount, and there is a lot of silver involved, and Sanchengli is already a big one." ”

"Grandpa Li means that I want to make too much profit in Sancheng?" Cheng Shuiyao was not surprised, her expression did not change at all, and then she spoke, "Then according to Master Li's thoughts, how much should I occupy?" ”

Li Shanhai smiled, and then stretched out a finger, "At most, one percent." ”

"Master Li's family has a lot of money, do you still care about this money?" Cheng Shuiyao didn't say yes or no, but just asked with a smile.

"Who is afraid of having a lot of money?" Li Shanhai said confidently, "Besides, you two don't look like you're short of money, so you don't have to be too greedy." ”

"Don't talk about it?" Xiao Ji narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke slowly.

"There's no need to talk about it," Li Shanhai made up his mind not to give up the interests of these two percent, and his attitude was quite resolute.

"This is a condition I negotiated with the Barbarian King, and Master Li unilaterally denied it, isn't it a bit excessive?" Cheng Shuiyao hasn't reacted much so far, but her good-looking eyes are staring at Li Shanhai, and she seems to have some impatience.
