Rifle Inn,

Since Li Ping'an came out of the Jingzhao Mansion prison unharmed, Li Luodi and the others have been happy and forget their worries in the past two days.

After two days of recuperation, Li Ping and everyone decided to reopen today.

Because Li Ping and his wife are usually kind and helpful, when they learned that it opened today, the neighbors on the street sent a lot of flower baskets early.

Li Ping also asked Li Luodi to buy a red carpet and pounce on the ground today, with the blessing of the flower basket, which was quite festive. I spent a lot of money to invite the lion dance team, which was very lively.

In the sound of firecrackers and gongs and drums, the curtain of the opening was opened. The crowd of people rushing in like a tide at this moment.

Li Ping, Li Luodi, and Bai Xiaoer were outside the door, greeting everyone with a smile.

As for Liu Yan and the rest of the guys, they greeted the guests in the lobby inside.

"Shopkeeper Li, business is booming!" The shopkeeper of the rouge shop Zheng walked in with a smile and a box of gifts.

"Ouch, it turned out to be the shopkeeper Zheng, thank you for coming! If there is no hospitality today, I hope to bear with me. ”

"Shopkeeper Li, you are busy first, I'll go in first!"

"Madam, hurry up and make a good pot of tea for Shopkeeper Zheng."

"Mr. Li's business is prosperous and spreads all over the world, and his financial resources reach Bajiang!" The shopkeeper of the East Street Book Shop also carried a box of gifts and said with a smile.

"Ouch, shopkeeper Zhang is also here, please inside!"

There were a lot of street neighbors who came to cheer, Li Luodi and the others were too busy to take a sip of water, although everyone was very tired, but everyone had a smile on their faces.

Even Guo'er, a little bit the size of a diced bean, got up late, felt the weight of the teapot on her red face, and hung a bitter gourd face, pouring tea back and forth in the lobby for the supportive customers.

This funny expression also caused everyone to laugh.

It is worth mentioning that Guo'er brought her eldest brother Qingxiaoya to help, the two of them were one big and one young, and they were very busy in the lobby.

"Brother Li! Today, I know that your cousin's inn has reopened, so Xiao came uninvited and came to drink a glass of wine! At this moment, there was a hearty laughter, and Xiao Yao led a few people to Li Luodi, who was receiving customers outside the door, and the three came over.

Hearing this, Brother Li Luo looked for prestige, and when he saw Xiao Yao and others coming over, he immediately hurried over to Li Ping, and said in surprise, "Brother Xiao can come in his busy schedule, which really flatters my little brother." Then he smiled heartily, "Today's wine management is enough, I'm afraid I can't get through a glass of wine, and I can't get drunk and don't return." ”

Li Ping on the side was also very pleased, "Xiao Gongzi can come today, it really makes my small shop shine!" ”

For Xiao Yao, although Li Ping knew that it was because of Li Luodi's relationship, he was very grateful for his righteous words in prison at that time and helped him.

"Hehe, I'm in a hurry today, I'll prepare a little courtesy, and I hope Brother Li and the two of them won't dislike it." Xiao Yao smiled and waved his hand, and immediately beckoned to the people behind him, "Bring things up!" ”

I saw a few small servants behind me carrying seven or eight large boxes, and then opened them one after another.

The surrounding people eating melons, seeing that Xiao Yao ordered people to carry so many large boxes, gathered around, as if they were curious babies, and talked about it.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xiao Yao's arrogant hand waved, and the little servants opened the boxes one after another.

Suddenly, everyone, including Li Ping, Li Luodi and others, widened their eyes in surprise, and saw seven or eight boxes full of dazzling everything, which was dazzling.

I saw that the first box contained fine silk segments, in a variety of colors, even the very rare purple satin. The second box is filled with fine tea, and there are Tieguanyin, West Lake Longjing, Biluochun, etc., and the remaining boxes are also filled with precious medicinal materials, blue and white porcelain, etc.

Such a generous gesture also amazed everyone.

"I look at the label on this satin, but the famous Qian Ji Cloth Village in the capital, the silk in it is all transported from the Western Regions, and the price is quite expensive."

"And those teas, judging from the color, are all fine on the leaves!"

"Among those medicinal materials, there is actually a century-old ginseng, this shopkeeper friend Li is really quite atmospheric, and his shot is extraordinary!"

Seeing that Xiao Yao sent such a heavy gift, Li Luodi shook his head and refused while being moved, "Brother Xiao, your gift is too heavy, my eldest brother and I can't accept it." ”

Li Luodi is sure that the contents of these seven or eight boxes alone are definitely worth thousands of taels, which is too valuable.

Even Li Ping, who has always been greedy for money, nodded in agreement, he had never seen so many valuable things in his life.

''Brother Li, this thing is not for you, it's for your eldest brother, it opens today, and you have to express it as a brother. After that, he kept a straight face, and without waiting for the two to refuse, he asked the guy to carry everything in.

Seeing this, Li Luodi and the two had no choice but to accept it, and immediately led Xiao Yao in.

After three rounds of drinking, in the private room on the second floor, Xiao Yao sat in the main seat, Li Luodi and others sat with him, and even Liu Yan, who had never drunk alcohol, also gave Xiao Yao a glass.

"Brother Li, Brother Li, Xiao came here today, firstly, in addition to the reopening of the Hexi Laifu Inn, and secondly, I want to ask the two of you for help if there is something!" At this time, Xiao Yao put down the wine glass and entered the theme.

Liu Yan saw that he was about to start talking about business, and one by one, he pulled out the fruit and Qing Xiaoya who were gnawing on chicken legs and pig's trotters.

Even though Guo'er and Qing Xiaoya protested fiercely, they were still dragged out by the indifferent Liu Yan, and then they really couldn't get used to the pitiful appearance of the two of them, so they brought out the roast chicken that the two of them had gnawed all over the tooth marks, and the two of them gave up resistance and broke into laughter.

"If Brother Xiao has anything difficult, if he can help, he will do his best." Hearing this, Li Luodi sat down and took the lead in speaking.

"Yes, what does Xiao Gongzi need, just ask." Li Ping also said immediately.

Not to mention the help of the prison cell, the value of today's congratulatory gift must also be reciprocated by the two of them.

"You might as well tell the truth, in fact, Xiao has been serving in the palace." Seeing that both of them said, Xiao Yao's eyes were happy, and then he knocked lightly on the table, and after a little hesitation, he still identified himself.

For Xiao Yao is from the palace, it is not surprising that this Li Luodi has long expected it.

"A few days ago, Xiangmanlou was not found out by Jingmingsi for framing Li Ping's brothers, implicated in the Red Lotus Sect, and was raided."

Speaking of this, Xiao Yao continued to ponder, "Actually, before this, I also learned that this building was named by the little princess of Xixia after the Xiangman Building was investigated. ”

"After inquiring about the reason, I learned that the chef of Xiangmanlou is a good dish of the local specialty of Xixia, and the little princess of Xixia also loves to eat this dish, plus I want to know more about the regional customs and customs of our Ming Zhou, so I decided not to live in the embassy."

Xiao Yao said a little dryly, took a sip of tea, moistened his throat and continued, "When Xiangmanlou was involved in the Red Lotus Sect, the Holy Lord was furious, so he sent me to find a safe place to be a stinky fish. ”

Speaking of which, Li Luodi and Li Ping knew Xiao Yao's next purpose.

For this matter, Li Luodi was a little embarrassed, because Li Ping had only been involved in the Red Lotus Sect before, and now he was used as an embassy to entertain the envoys of Western Xia. If the hospitality is good, everyone will be happy, but if the hospitality is not good, the ironclad family will revisit the Jingzhao Mansion prison, and maybe they will have to say goodbye to the world.

Li Ping, who was on the side, was also a little hesitant when he heard this, but it was the life in the prison a few days ago that gave him a shadow.

Xiao Yao saw that Li Luodi and the two of them were a little embarrassed, and said anxiously, "If the two of you can help Xiao this time, Xiao will definitely remember it." ”

"Of course, the remuneration must be indispensable, Xiao is willing to pay this amount, just as the food money for these days!" With that, Xiao Yao raised a finger.

"One thousand taels!" Seeing this, a hint of surprise crossed Li Ping's eyes, and he just wanted to say something.

Xiao Yao hurriedly shook his head and denied, "Xiao is willing to pay 10,000 taels, just as your hard work in the past few days, of course, if you need any ingredients or other items, just ask, I will come out." ”

Hearing this, Li Ping hurriedly stood up excitedly, and held Xiao Yao's hand with righteousness, "It doesn't matter if the money is not money, I just want to do Xiao Gongzi a favor." “

"A few days ago, I was thinking about how to repay Xiao Gongzi's life-saving feelings, and today it came!" After that, Li Ping smiled heartily and held his wine glass, "Xiao Gongzi, Li has a glass to you." ”

Seeing that Li Ping agreed, Xiao Yao was so happy that he slapped his thigh, and then picked up the wine glass and slammed it together, "Hahaha, it's still Brother Li's refreshment, Xiao wrote it down." ”

Seeing that the two of them hooked their shoulders and put their backs together, and they were tired of being together in an instant, Li Luodi rolled his eyes speechlessly, but even if Xiao Yao didn't pay the money, Li Luodi and Li Ping would agree.

Without him, just relying on Xiao Yao's help in prison at that time, it was worth everything Li Luodi and his brother.

The grace of dripping water, when the spring reciprocates, this is his code of conduct.
