In the carriage, Li Weijian and Wang looked at each other.

Li Weijian is the first time in his life that he has seen a road blockade complaint, and looking at Wang Fang's situation, it is estimated that it is also the first time. Li Weijian was happy, and then thought about it, no, although he has the king's flag, this has never been shown, how did this little brother outside know?

A forbidden soldier had already stepped forward to stop the man, Wang Fang blinked, and said embarrassedly: "Lord Li, this is not far from the Yamen of the Judge, maybe that little man stopped the wrong frame?" Wait for the lower officials to send him away. ”

Wang Fang got up and was about to get out of the car, but at this time, Wu Haining had already turned around and was talking to the man, "Did you stop the wrong carriage?" My lord is an official of the inner government, and he can't control civil lawlessness. ”

The little brother was stunned, and then raised his feet and said, "My lord, the little people are wronged!" Shunhexing owed Xiaomin 6,000 taels of goods, but he deduced that Yishang had defaulted and refused to pay Xiaomin money, begging the adults to be the masters of Xiaomin! ”

Li Weijian knew a rough idea as soon as he heard it, and it was probably another transnational lawsuit. Nowadays, there are four major banknotes in Dashun South, Guangzhou, Xiamen, Songjiang, and Mingzhou, and the annual tariffs are collected by about one million taels.

Dashun tariffs are uncertain, roughly between four cents and one percent, and Yi merchants must pay taxes in advance when they come to Dashun to trade.

What if you don't have money? Go find a dental dealer as a guarantee! If something happens, the money will make the tooth shop pay the money. In these years, the communication capacity is calculated on the basis of the year, and it is inconvenient for the East and the West to come and go.

That Shunhe line is one of the eight major tooth shops in Guangzhou, listening to this person's meaning, it should be Yishang broke the contract, and the tooth bank was fined and confiscated the money, which led to the arrears of the supplier's payment?

Although he knew it in his heart, Li Weijian didn't bother to intervene. His behavior is sucrose, and he really doesn't bother to care about these bullshit trivial things.

At this time, the king had already gone down, walked in front of the little brother and persuaded him: "This little brother, this is the carriage of the inner house, you are in the wrong place." According to the division, you have to go north. ”

It's easy to meet someone who talks kindly, so where is the little brother willing to give up? only begged again and again: "I beg the adults to have mercy, but the small people really have no way to ask for help." Besides, the Inner Government has the responsibility of supervising the banknotes......"

This is true, the banknote customs are not subordinate to the locality, but are considered to be branches of the household department. During the reign of Taishang, the four major banknotes in the southeast were corrupt and fraudulent, and after ascending the throne, they learned from the pain, and on the basis of the original supervision of the imperial history, they sent the inner government to supervise.

And the Eight Tooth Shops are registered in the banknote gate, and it stands to reason that this inner government can really manage where to go and where to go.

Wang Fang was annoyed and said, "You little brother, why don't you listen to my good words?" That's it, send him away, don't block the adult's frame. ”

The two forbidden soldiers stepped forward and dragged the little brother to the side, and when they saw Wang Fang returning to the carriage, the little brother was anxious and shouted: "The ancestor of the small people is a Ziwei She, and the big house in the small people's house is still an imperial businessman, and it is a family with the inner house!" ”

The carriage stopped again as soon as it started, and a young and handsome face poked out of the window, glanced up and down at the little brother, and said, "Your surname is Xue?" ”

The little brother was overjoyed and shouted: "Go back to the adult, the little people Xue Zhen." ”

Li Weijian bowed slightly, whispered a few words to Wang Fang in the car, and then turned his head and ordered: "Haining." ”

"Sir!"

"Make a name with him."

Wu Haining smiled and took out a famous post from his sleeve, handed it to Xue Zhen and said: "This son is really lucky, my master has never been nosy, and I don't know how to take care of it this time." ”

Xue Zhen took the name post, and listened to Li Weijian say: "It's late tonight, tomorrow morning to come to the post house, the official asked carefully, and then see if he can make the decision for you." ”

Xue Zhen was immediately overjoyed, and clenched his fists and said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" ”

Li Weijian no longer paid attention to Xue Zhen, the carriage turned into the lane, and arrived at the post house in a blink of an eye. Li Weijian saw that there was a pho stall on the side, so he simply called two copies, said goodbye to the king, and then looked for the small courtyard behind him.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he heard shouts from the main room: "Where to go, look at the thorns!" ”

By the candlelight, I saw a toned figure flickering and moving, and the Emei thorn in his hand spit back and forth. Li Weijian stepped into the middle and said with a smile: "Why are you still practicing?" ”

"Sir?"

Xiu Ying's eyebrows flicked, and a black shadow was dropped, and then she glared and said: "Master, this cockroach in Guangzhou has become fine, look, it's about to catch up with the size of a thumb!" ”

Li Weijian frowned suddenly, there will be invasive species at this time? Cockroaches of this size are all native to the Americas, and there is no one in Dashun itself. Xu is Jinling is far away, and there have never been such big cockroaches at this time.

I didn't think about it, and I saw it as soon as I arrived in Guangzhou. At this time, I am afraid that it will not help to mention the invasion of species to the sage. Li Weijian stepped forward and kicked the cockroach that was still writhing out of the door, and he was out of sight and out of mind.

Xiu Ying dropped the Emei thorn and said, "Also, I went down to eat today, and I saw a mouse with a big arm coming out of the kitchen, it's too scary!" After a pause, he said: "It's really weird, everything in Guangzhou is one size bigger, but people are one size smaller." I'm considered short in Jingshi at this size, but I don't think I'm medium when I come here. ”

Li Weijian Shi Shiran sat down, Xiu Ying came over to knead his neck, Li Weijian closed his eyes and enjoyed: "Xu is one side of the water and soil to support one party." After a pause, he said: "Xiu Ying has arrived in Jingshi, and she can't say that she will grow in size." ”

Xiu Ying suddenly smiled: "By the old man's auspicious words, I don't ask for the side, just ask for a higher level than Qingwen." ”

Among the several women around Li Weijian, Fu Qiufang was well-proportioned, and Hongyu and Xiangling were drawn in shape, looking half a head taller than Qingwen and Xiuying.

Xiu Ying is fed up with looking up and talking to people all day long, so she looks forward to growing taller.

After a while, the postman brought in two portions of pho, and the two made a sip, and then washed up and went to bed. Xiu Ying recovered her spirits today, and suddenly became tired and crooked and dishonest.

Li Weijian knows Xiu Ying's thoughts, he has been on the road for more than ten days, where can he bear it? Immediately use both hands and mouth, and in a moment it will roll with Xiu Ying.

The night is quiet, Xiu Ying is happy and uncontrollable, waking up and relapsing, throwing it several times, like a spring silkworm, like drunk. After begging repeatedly, Li Weijian received his magical powers, scrubbed and hugged each other and fell asleep.

In the turn of the day, Xu was overworked yesterday, and Li Weijian didn't get up until three poles in the morning. When I got washed up and arrived at the post house, I saw that Xue Zhen hurriedly greeted him.

"My lord—"

Li Weijian bowed his head slightly, and said, "Brother Xue can have a table?" ”

Xue Zhen was flattered, and hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Don't dare, don't dare, in the following table." ”

"Wen Dou? Tadpole bird tracks? That's a good word. ”

Li Weijian smiled and invited Xue Zhen to sit down, seeing that he was still trembling, and after thinking about it for a while, he knew that Xue Zhen still didn't know who he was at this time.

Thinking about it, I have only dealt with the Xue family's big house this year, and the big house and the second room are not close, Aunt Xue and Baochai will definitely hide the second room because of the emperor's businessman's background, how can they mention themselves in the letterhead?

Yesterday, I heard that this young man was Xue Zhen, and Li Weijian unexpectedly came to Guangzhou and met the characters in the Red Mansion. I vaguely remember that in the TV series, this Xue Zhen is still a good person? I wondered why Xue Zhen came to Guangzhou this time, and Li Weijian gave him a famous post.

The post man served refreshments, and Li Weijian saw that he was cramped and uneasy, so he smiled and said: "Wen Dou doesn't know the official if he wants to come." ”

"This ...... The kid is abrupt, I really don't know. I only know that the adult is the chief inspector of the inner government. ”

"Heh, I have a relationship with your Xue family."

"Oh? Please give me advice. ”

Li Weijian looked at Xue Zhen in front of him, and looked at Xue Zhen, who should be younger than himself, but he was quite sophisticated in speaking and doing things, and his face was somewhat similar to Baochai. If the girls in Rongguofu saw it, they would definitely think that Xue Zhen was Baochai's brother, then Xue Pan must have picked it up later.

Li Weijian said: "My cousin married into Rongguofu, and now she is the grandmother of Rongguofu. ”

"Huh?" Xue Zhen was suddenly, his face was not relaxed, and he still said solemnly: "I see." The boy's aunt, cousin, and cousin are now in Jingshi, and I think the adults must have seen them. ”

"How have you seen it? This official went to Beijing to take the exam, and happened to save your aunt's family on the way. ”

Xue Zhen was about to give up his hand to thank him, when he heard Li Weijian's words and said: "Turn your head Xue Wenlong has risen to the prosperity of Longyang, and he has a quarrel with this official. ”

"Uh-" Xue Zhen said: "Adults don't know, this kid is the second room of the Xue family, and he doesn't have much contact with the big house." ”

Li Weijian suddenly laughed: "Hahaha, not bad, not bad." That's it, I won't tease you. Tell me what kind of lawsuit it is, and if you can help it, the official will help you. ”

"Yes. Your Excellency—"

Xue Zhen briefly intercepted and said the inner story. However, he said that Baochai's second uncle, that is, Xue Zhen's father, was a businessman, so he traveled the world and went as far as the West Sea. What is the West Sea? In today's parlance, it was the western coast of the Indian Ocean.

In fact, what the Xue family's second room does is to make a living. When the ship arrived at the port, he first found a tooth bank as a guarantee, and the tooth bank came forward to pay the customs duties, and then sold the goods on the ship. At the same time, the tooth shop is civilized and the merchants are needed, and the merchants are recruited to buy from all over the world.

This father of Xue Tadpole is one of the purchasers who rely on the Eight Great Tooth Shops to eat. Last year, Xue Zhen's father was entrusted by the tooth bank to purchase a batch of Shu brocade to arrive in Guangzhou, and was supposed to pay for the purchase when the Yishang returned in September.

Shunhe acted as a guarantee for it, not to mention paying the tariffs in advance, but also paying the purchase funds in advance. In September, purchases from all over the country came to the door, and Shunhexing had to pay according to the price.

During that period, Xue Zhen's father's funeral was held, his sister Baoqin was young, and his mother was too sad and couldn't afford to be sick, so Xue Zhen had to press the itinerary and take care of his mother at home. It wasn't until the turn of the year that his mother's condition improved, and his sister Baoqin persuaded him repeatedly, that Xue Zhen set off to Guangzhou to ask for payment.

However, Shunhexing's vitality was greatly damaged, and when he saw that Xue Zhen was weak, he had the idea of cheating. Because of the death of his father, this is a lawsuit. Xue Zhen begged around, and the coil was almost spent, and he never asked for the money back.

Yesterday, I heard that the newly promoted procurator had arrived, so I started to stop the car and complain. Unexpectedly, he stopped the wrong carriage, but he made the wrong move and stopped Li Weijian's carriage.

Li Weijian thought for a moment after hearing this, and then called the post guard and asked, "Then Shun and Xing are going to go out of business?" ”

"My lord is joking, the Pan Dong family behind Shunhe Xing has a lot of money, even if he doesn't get together for a while, he will be relieved after two years, and he will never go out of business."

Li Weijian nodded, and looked at Xue Zhen again: "How much money is missing you?" ”

"Six, six thousand taels."

Li Weijian said: "Jia Yun, if you take my name card and go to the banknote customs, you will say that it is natural to repay the debt." ”

"Yes, my nephew will be done."

Li Weijian bowed slightly at Xue Zhen, got up and said, "The official still has important matters, so I won't accompany Wen Dou." ”

Xue Zhen hurriedly got up and arched his hand: "My lord is going to be busy." ”

Li Weijian glanced at him again, and then walked away. Xue Zhen looked at Li Weijian's figure and walked away, so Jia Yun leaned over and said, "Second Uncle Xue, please, let's go to the banknote customs together." ”

The two of them ordered the year, and then they knew why they called him Second Uncle Xue. The two immediately left the post house and headed towards the banknote shop. On the way, Xue Zhen couldn't hold back in his heart, and said, "This ...... Lord Li is the inner house Langzhong, it is said that it is not involved with the household department, we took the adult's name post, so can the household department buy it? ”

Jia Yun was happy: "Second Uncle Xue only knows one and doesn't know the other, although Fourth Uncle Jian is only in the inner mansion, but the saint of this trip has given the royal flag, this time he is not looking for money, why should the household be a villain in vain?" ”

"I see." Xue Zhen was shocked in his heart.

I think that Li Weijian is only fifteen or sixteen years old, not to mention that he has won the title of the second grade, and now the official is the fifth grade, and he has also been given the royal flag when he travels, these people are the sons of heaven! It will be a succession in the future!

Xue Zhen suddenly became a friend. Jia Yun is a human spirit, and a little look at his expression will tell what he thinks. On the way, there was no trace of Li Weijian, who made millions of net worth just by relying on the water service, which made Xue Zhen speechless.

Millions! He asked his grandfather and grandmother for 6,000 taels of silver, even if he got the money back, what would he do to make friends with this Master Li? Send more and send less, I'm afraid that this Lord Li won't be able to look down on it.

Xue Zhen immediately fell silent, meditating hard in his heart, but to no avail. The two went all the way to the banknote pass, talked to the little official, and then were led to the promotion.

Dashun's banknote customs, which was copied earlier from the former Ming City Bo Division, because it is the banknote that is in charge of the promotion of the five products. Li Weijian is not to mention the fifth grade, and he also has a title of the second grade, so where do you dare to slack off?

Seeing the two of them, Jia Yun said lightly and asked for help, and the promotion was really accepted. Turning his head and instructing the little official to do it, he brought the big shopkeeper in front of him in a short time.

Lord Tiju made a lot of official threats in front of the two of them, and the shopkeeper was so frightened that he was drenched in a cold sweat, and he couldn't make a move, so he almost knelt down and begged for mercy.

When the money was out, the big shopkeeper hurriedly counted the silver ticket and paid back the debt. On the occasion of separation, he smiled and said with an annoyance: "Eh, Xue Gongzi, this is really a big water that washed the Dragon King Temple...... It's also to blame the people who don't know real people. If there is any contact in the future, Xue Gongzi will go straight to the little old man to handle it, and ensure that there will be no more today's affairs. ”

Xue Zhen greeted him slightly, and went smoothly with the silver ticket, and suddenly had mixed feelings in his heart. It's no wonder that everyone in the world says, 'Everything is inferior, only reading is high', but the Xue family doesn't know if the feng shui of the ancestral tomb is wrong. Since the ancestor Ziwei Sheren, the Xue family has smashed the money, but the children have no achievements in the field.

Now that the second room has no royal business foundation, it is becoming more and more difficult to make a living. Now even Yaxing can be bullied to the head, so don't talk about it. For today's plan, the only way to do this is to rely on marriage to help the Xue family's second room...... Huh? That Master Li didn't know either...... It's a pity that my sister Baoqin is still young. Otherwise, if you are a noble concubine, the second room of the Xue family will not decay.

After thinking about meeting Jia Yun, it was another greeting, and Jia Yun said goodbye and left. Xue Shi Shiran returned to the inn, but he was in trouble in his heart, and he didn't know how to thank Li Weijian. This thank-you gift will take a lot of thought.

……………………………………………………

Sugar mills.

Li Weijian didn't think about Xue Zhen at all, and only stared at the rapidly spinning centrifuge. The steam engine pressure gauge showed seven standard pressures, and the centrifuge was driven by the flywheel to spin rapidly, but for a moment it was not clear what was going on inside.

To make sugar, it is probably to use activated carbon to decolor it first, and then throw it into the centrifuge through the sieve?

Wang Fang was by the side, sweating from the steam stove. After a long time, he said, "My lord, this machine has been spinning for a while, do you want to stop and take a look?" ”

"Hmm."

Li Weijian personally stepped forward and closed the valve, and the steam engine immediately stopped, and the water vapor leaked out filled the entire factory in a blink of an eye, and several craftsmen surrounded him, giggling and saying things that Li Weijian couldn't understand.

The centrifuge slowly stopped, Wang Fang hurriedly stepped forward to observe, and immediately grabbed some small crystal reddish-brown particles from behind the sieve: "My lord, there is indeed sugar." ”

Li Weijian frowned at the reddish-brown sugar, and secretly wondered in his heart, what went wrong? I bought good bamboo charcoal, crushed it into minced powder after grinding, stirred it in the syrup and clarified, and saw that it had faded a lot of floating color, how could it still be this color?

Could it be that the time of stirring and standing is short?

Looking at the centrifuge again, there is still most of the sugar paste left in before, and the screen looks as if it has been completely blocked by the sugar paste, no wonder there is so much left after an hour.

Li Weijian did not believe in evil, so he ordered someone to scrape the screen with a knife, start the machine and throw it off. This repeated attempt lasted for two days.

Li Weijian didn't know that this sugar-making process first used activated carbon to remove the floating color, and then had to go through three centrifuges to divide it into A, B, and Cyloses, so that the white sugar could be obtained.

Among them, the centrifuge used for methyl sugar must be started intermittently, and B and maloniose need to be rotated continuously.

In the past two days, he has opened and closed the door, but he has made methyl sugar, and then he has to use methyl sugar as an introduction, and throw out the etheric sugar through its gaps.

The modern sugar making process has been explored by predecessors from generation to generation, and Li Weijian, who knows it and doesn't know why it is so, can only try the same thing.

On the fourth day, a craftsman was lazy, scraped the screen at will, and did not carefully scrape off the sugar crystals hanging on it, and when the centrifuge was started again, he threw out the white sugar!

Li Weijian was overjoyed immediately, hurriedly stopped the machine, gathered several craftsmen together, and inquired carefully through Wang Fang's translation. After that, it was repeated again and again, and it was not until the seventh day that the inner cause was understood.

It was enough to know the reason, Li Weijian told Wang Fang to watch the steam engine carefully, and he must not be stolen by Xiyi, so he turned his head and went into the post house to write and paint, and handed over a thick stack of manuscripts to the delivery shop the next day, sent it six hundred miles to expedite, and hurriedly sent it to Beijing.

A complete set of sugar mill equipment has been designed, from sugar cane juice to final sugar production.

At this time, it was the middle of March, Li Weijian's heart was becoming more and more anxious, if he waited for the equipment to be delivered back, it would be two months later, where could he afford to wait?

If he misses the battle of Qinghai, if Dashun is defeated, then he is afraid that everything will come to naught. Because he thought about it slightly, he called Jia Yun and instructed: "In the urgent document I sent, I gave you a book errand." ”

Jia Yun was overjoyed, although the secretary office has no grade, it can be regarded as an official body, which is better than saying it to a small official. Immediately, he said, "Thank you, Fourth Uncle." ”

"Don't be too busy thanking me, I'm going to leave for the north in the next two days, and I'm going to leave you here to take care of the sugar production. It will take about two or three months for the equipment to arrive. When the time comes, you have to keep an eye on the machine, especially not to let Xiyi get a glimpse of the details. If this matter is done properly, I will definitely protect Brother Yun in front of the prince at that time. ”

Jia Yun said solemnly: "Fourth uncle, don't worry, if you run an errand, the fourth uncle will say that the nephew will wipe his neck by himself." ”

Li Weijian suddenly cried and laughed: "You just have to do your errand, why did I ask you to wipe your neck?" ”

Later, Li Weijian called Wang Fang again and instructed Jia Yun to leave behind, and Wang Fang patted his chest and promised that he would take care of him.

After all the things came to an end for the time being, Li Weijian thought about setting off for the north in the near future. turned her head and said to Xiuying, but this little girl didn't say anything, but when she thought of taking a sea boat this time, she suddenly had a bitter face.

Early in the morning, Li Weijian packed his bags, pondered going to the street to buy some clay instruments, and left for the north after noon. Wu Haining suddenly came and said with a strange face: "Master, the one surnamed Xue is here, and he also brought Xie Lilai." ”

Just by taking a look, Li Weijian knew that he was afraid that this thank-you gift was weird, so he said: Huh? I'll take a look. ”

When I got out of the small courtyard and turned to the front hall of the post house, I saw that Xue Zhen was pacing in place nervously, followed by an old family member, and a woman with a hat and a light veil behind her.

Seeing Li Weijian, Xue Zhen hurriedly came over to greet him.

After a little greeting, the guest and the host sat down, and Xue Zhen said with a smile: "In the next view, the Lord is light and simple, but I am afraid that there will be more inconvenience in the residence, because I specially sent a maid, and I hope that Lord Li will accept it with a smile." ”

Li Weijian was secretly happy in his heart, it was not easy, someone finally sent him a girl. Thinking like this in his heart, he said with a stiff face: "I am quite upright in Guanwen Dou, how can I act like this?" You and I are the silverfish who are greedy for flowers, can't you? Take it back! ”

Xue Zhen blinked and said, "Master Li is too careful, and he is indeed just a maid." As he spoke, he hurriedly beckoned, and the old family brought the woman forward.

Li Weijian said: "This is not necessary, the official helped you that day, but it was just to see that you were in trouble, this woman ...... Uh-"

The woman suddenly took off the light gauze hat, revealing a face that was completely different from the Central Plains, with chestnut hair and white skin, one gray and blue, and the other green, looking like a paper man!

The woman looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, and her appearance was quite gentle.

Li Weijian was surprised for a while, Xue Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly took out a letter of deed from his sleeve, and said: "It's not a secret, this woman is owned by a Fran machine dealer, because she sold her body poison and lost her family's wealth, so she sold the servants in the family."

Thinking that it was inappropriate to have no one around the adult, I bought it on my own behalf. ”

Li Weijian wondered in his heart, and he didn't know where this woman was from, so he asked, "Is there a name?" ”

The woman opened her mouth to say a slightly jerky Dashun official and said, "Bitong." ”

"Where are you?"

"Back to this adult, I was born in Mogadishu and has been in the realm of Haojing since I was a child."

After asking a few more words, Li Weijian learned that this Bitong was a white slave! What is a white slave? Don't think that there are only black slaves these days, but in fact there are many white slaves.

Although the Ottoman was much weaker, he died of a camel larger than a horse, and he secretly financed the Barbary pirates, plundered white slaves, and sold them to North Africa. What's more, the white slaves who can't be sold for a while will be raised and selected for good color breeding, so that they can give birth to white slaves with better colors.

Bitong is the daughter of a white slave, born with only a mother, and no one knows who her father is. At the age of six or seven, he was bought by a merchant of the little Franc machine, and then went to live in Haojing, where he learned an authentic vernacular and jerky official language.

Last year, the merchant lost his capital, not only the ship, but also the real estate and the house slave mortgaged. Bitong's heterochromatic pupils are regarded as ominous by Xiyi, because they can only be transferred to Guangzhou to sell.

Dashun didn't say that, the Persian cat with heterochromatic pupils is rare, because it was Xue Zhen looked at it, and it cost a full six hundred taels of silver to buy it, named Bitong, and it was sent to the post house early this morning.

Li Weijian thought for a while, and then asked, "What will you do?" ”

"Cleaning, tidying up, and frying steaks...... Yes, I also make cheese. ”

Cheese? Li Weijian suddenly remembered the pizza, and then looked at Xue Zhen and said, "This woman has been accepted by the official, and the official has asked someone to calculate it for you." ”

Xue Zhen suddenly said happily: "My lord, this silver money-"

"Huh? You just said that it was purchased on behalf of the official. This favor is recognized by the official, and the money should still be calculated clearly. ”

Xue Zhen thought for a moment, and simply said honestly: "Don't dare to hide it from Master Li, this maid has spent six hundred taels." ”

"Okay." beckoned Wu Haining to step forward and pay the silver ticket, and Li Weijian immediately said: "This official is going to leave for the north today, and if Brother Xue comes to Beijing in the future, he must come to find this official." It's a pity that this official sees Brother Xue's character and only manages to make a living. ”

The meaning of the words was overflowing, Xue Zhen was overjoyed, and he was grateful for a long time, and then led the old family to retreat.

As soon as the person left, Bitong stepped forward nervously and said, "Master, do I want to change my name again?" ”

"No, it's good to be Bitong. Come with me. ”

Li Weijian turned his head and led Bitong into the small courtyard, and Xiuying, who had just picked up, was taken aback when she saw Bitong, and hurriedly asked, "Master, who is she?" ”

Li Weijian stepped forward and grabbed Xiu Ying's hand and said: "The maid I just bought, I have to take a boat to the north this time, you, you will vomit all kinds of meat and vegetables when the time comes." I'm used to being served, sir, where will I serve people? After thinking about it, I simply bought a handmaiden to serve you. ”

Xiu Ying blinked, and her eyes immediately turned red with gratitude. It's not that it's still daylight at this time, so you have to take advantage of it before you leave.

That Bitong lowered his eyebrows on the side, and complained in his heart, this new master is also a scumbag!

……………………………………………………

Jinling, Mochou Lake, Li family.

Wu Haiping led Qingwen and Xiangling into the main hall, and saw an old man sitting upright, accompanied by a forty-year-old woman.

Qingwen and Xiangling didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down to see each other. The old man spoke, spoke in a low tone, and after a few questions, he sent the maid to settle the group.

The woman winked at the old man, but he didn't see it.

When Wu Haiping, Qingwen, and Xiangling retreated, the woman said, "Li Shouzhong! How can you say a few more words? Brother Jian is so old, he finally got a teacher in Beijing, why is he still not welcomed by you? ”

Li Shouzhong said with a straight face: "Strange and obscene skills, after all, they are just small ways-"

"Phew!" The woman scolded: "It's a small way, Brother Jian made millions of silver dollars, and he was knighted." What about you? is not much higher than Brother Jian'er. ”

"What do you know from a woman's opinion?"

The woman was annoyed and said, "I don't understand? The girl married into the Jia family and was bullied into the ashes of the wood, and the fault was not the thrifty brother's action, but I was afraid that the white-haired person would send the black-haired person in less than two years. You know, but what do you do but drink alcohol? ”

"You...... This ......" Li Shouzhong broke the defense, got up and flicked his sleeves: "Unreasonable!" ”

The woman refused to give up, chasing her back and scolding: "Every time you can't win, you run, Li Shouzhong, I'm waiting for you to grow up one day!" ”

With a soft snort, the woman ordered the maid and commanded, "Go into my house and bring two golden hairpins." ”

The maid groaned; "Madam, those two girls are not yet famous."

The woman immediately said happily: "This brother, where is there anyone who is not greedy for flowers and lustful?" Look at the colors of Qingwen and Xiangling, there must be them in the aunt in the future. After a pause, he said: "Zhenzhen'er doesn't dare to think that this frugal brother has also reached the age of saying goodbye." ”

The woman saw Li Weijian grow up, and regarded him as her own son in her heart, and she had mixed feelings when she mentioned this matter.

After a while, the maid returned, sent two golden hairpins, and the woman gathered them away, and estimated the time to find Qingwen and Xiangling.

After talking to the two women for a while, the more the woman looked at it, the more she rejoiced. That Qingwen can speak, but she has no scheming; Xiangling is beautiful, and there are poems and books in the belly.

Such a girl, in an ordinary rich family, even a young grandmother can do it, but now she is full of thoughts about being an aunt for Brother Jian'er...... Brother Jian'er, this stinky boy, really has some means.

Coming out of the small courtyard where Qingwen and Xiangling were placed, the maid came to report: "Madam, the two young ladies heard that the fourth master's family has arrived, and they are clamoring to meet them." ”

When the words fell, I saw two teenage girls pulling their hands to find the general, and the slightly older one said, "Auntie, I heard that the fourth brother's family has arrived?" I don't know when the fourth brother will come back? ”

The little one on the side said: "Yes, yes, the fourth brother said that he would take us to visit the Confucius Temple, and this experience can't make the fourth brother miss the appointment again." ”
