Li Qian didn't inquire, but Xin Zhi was a little dissatisfied: "It's been twice, don't you want to know why my grandfather was rejected by the Emperor?" ”

“……”

Li Qian stood up straight and put on a serious look: "Dare to ask freely, why did Lu Wenrong say that Marquis Wu'an had already been rejected by the Emperor?" ”

"I can't tell you just yet, I have to ask my grandfather first." Xin Zhi replied with a serious face.

Li Qiao: "......"

He couldn't laugh or cry.

Maintaining a serious appearance, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait for a comfortable reply." ”

"I'll ask my grandfather when I get home today." Xin Zhi snapped his fingers and returned to grinning.

He shook the note in his hand: "Then do you still buy this field?" ”

"I don't buy it." Li Qian shook her head without hesitation.

He is a staunch centrist, he only stands on Sheng Hong's side, regardless of whether it is the third prince or the fifth prince, he does not stand anywhere.

Besides, this method is a bit shady.

If he had bought the field, he would have been unwittingly favored.

He hated it the most.

He is not a silver that can't afford the market price, he doesn't like to owe favors, but after coming to this time and space, he has experienced Han Xiaoyan's noise, and he doesn't want to owe favors to others.

Chapter 120: Li Qiao is very good at making money, but he doesn't have children

Although he didn't plan to buy Lord Lu's field, after getting off work in the afternoon, Li Qiao still went to the official room with Tao Zhu.

He used the excuse that he wanted to buy a field closer to Shengjing, so he didn't buy Master Lu's little Zhuangzi.

After coming out of the official room, Tao Zhu sat in the ox cart, and as soon as he was next to the carriage, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Why doesn't anyone sell the land?"

Li Qiao looked at his furrowed eyebrows, and couldn't help but raise her hand and press on the center of his eyebrows, wanting to smooth out the wrinkles in the center of his eyebrows: "If our family has a field, if there is no big deal, will you sell the field?" ”

Tao Zhu blinked his eyes when he heard this: "What are you talking about?" ”

"Resign, or raid."

Li Qian said and sat down beside him.

Shengjing's land is so valuable, unless he will never return to Shengjing in this life, otherwise, who is willing to sell.

Tao Zhu: "......"

He folded his hands and looked reverent: "Then let's let it be, we don't particularly want to buy fields." ”

Li Qiao was amused by his reaction, reached out and pinched his cheek, and said: "It may also be that the businessman is not doing well, or he wants to curry favor with me, a petty official of the sixth grade, so he will sell his own land." ”

“…… We don't really really want to buy the fields. ”

Tao Zhu still folded his hands, and his expression became more reverent.

It's either miserable or the purpose is not pure, and he and Li Qiao don't want to get involved.

It's too hard to buy a field.

Li Qiao looked at his expression, couldn't hold back any longer, leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.

His bamboo brother is so cute.

Tao Zhu was slightly frightened by his action, and subconsciously looked ahead, but the carriage door was not closed.

Guanfangya is quite close to the inner city, and although there are few people in this vicinity, there are still people on the road.

"It's okay, there's no one ahead." Li Qiao held his hand and shook it gently: "I am measured." ”

He and Tao Zhu often held hands in front of everyone in Sanliu Village, and that was because Sanliu Village was his territory, and the villagers would not say anything.

In Shengjing, there are too many people who harbor ill will towards him, how can he be grabbed by pigtails.

He will not let Tao Zhu be exposed to immoral criticism.

Tao Zhu looked at the empty stone road in front of him and breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Li Dashan, who was sitting in front of the car, coughed: "I'll close the carriage door for you." ”

As he spoke, he turned and closed the door.

The light in the carriage dimmed all of a sudden.

Li Qiao laughed softly, stretched out his hand to wrap around Tao Zhu's waist, and the whole person was pressed on Tao Zhu's body.

"Add a chicken leg to the mountain tonight."

Tao Zhu was surrounded by him, stretched out a hand and patted him on the back, and also smiled: "Add two." ”

I haven't seen him for almost six hours, and he also wants to kiss Li Qiao.

When Li Dashan heard the words of his uncle Uncle Zhu, he immediately threw off the whip in his hand, he was waiting to eat chicken legs tonight, one for him and one for Qianqian!

However, instead of going straight home, he drove the ox cart to the duck store.

His uncle wants to see the situation here.

Li Qiao wants to use a duck shop to let the people of Shengjing see his earning ability, so he naturally wants to conduct a field trip.

The duck shop is also on the main street in the north of the city, with two floors and a yard, and it costs 12,000 taels of silver.

The price is so high, the lot is naturally not bad, the shop is at the intersection of the main street, and there are two alleys on both sides, and if you calculate it carefully, this is a crossroads, and the flow of customers is very large.

This was originally a restaurant, and the original owner was not good at running a bad business, so he planned to rent it out, but when he learned that Li Qiao was interested in buying a shop, the original owner changed his mind and sold it from rent, and he also planned to reduce the price.

Li Qiao never took advantage of others, and when he made it clear that he would remember this favor, after some concessions, he finally bought the shop at the market price.

Although it is not open, every part of the shop is cleaned.

Taozhu has high requirements for hygiene, even if it is not open, it has to be cleaned once a day in the morning and evening.

Li Qiao took a turn in the shop and was very satisfied.

He was also very satisfied with the wealth of the country and the people, the wind and rain, and the title of the gold list, when he and Tao Zhu bought people, they deliberately chose those who seemed to be loyal and honest and obedient, and now after Tao Zhu's training, these twelve and a half children are more obedient.

However, the title of the gold list of the country's wealth and people's peace, plus Li Dashan and Tao Zhu, is only fourteen people.

Fourteen people opened such a big shop, and the number of people was a little short.

Coming out of the shop and getting on the ox cart, Li Qiao asked Tao Zhudao: "Or, let's go and ask Zhuangquan Zhou Yun?" See if they are willing to work in the shop. ”

After Zhuang Wen went to work every day, Zhuang Quan and Zhou Yun stayed at home to do housework, and the manor often wandered around, but the couple rarely went out.

They don't need to open a shop, and they don't need to paint clothes every day like Shen Hua, and they are quite idle.

"Okay." Tao Zhu has no opinion.

So, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu went directly to Zhuang Wen's house.

Zhuang Wen just bought a house, Sanjin, although it is not in the same alley as Li Qiao's house, but the distance is quite close.

Zhuang Wen listened to Li Qian Taozhu say what he meant, and without waiting for Zhuang Quan and Zhou Yun to answer, he made the decision for the two of them.

"The two of them are staying at home, so they might as well go out and work to earn some money. The new house cost 2,300 taels of silver, which is the use of the family's old foundation. ”

Although the dealer is a small landlord, he has accumulated some silver over the years, but before Li Qiao made vermicelli, the dealer only relied on the income in the field, and could only save more than 200 taels of silver every year.

In recent years, because of sweet potato vermicelli, the family has saved more money.

But the key is that Zhuang Wen has been spending the family's money all these years, the dealer has not been divided, he used to study, and now he buys a house, and the whole dealer counts him the most able to spend money.

Now, although you can receive 150 taels of Yulu every month, since there is a shortage of manpower in the Li Qiao pottery and bamboo shop, Zhuang Quan Zhou Yun and his wife have nothing to do at home except housework, so it is better to go to the shop to help.

Alas.

The couple had been married for several years, but had no children – his eldest grandson was born to his second son.

Now Zhou Yun is under a lot of pressure, and it is better to go out to do things than to stay at home and think nonsense.

Zhou Yun and Zhuang Quan also nodded when they saw that Zhuang Wen had promised so much.

knew that Zhuang Quan and Zhou Yun's work and rest were similar to his own, so Li Qiao Taozhu assigned the two of them a relatively short working time, and they could go home at noon.

The couple can't be allowed to delay the dealer's business because of the duck shop.

Two more people were added, but Li Ershan and Li Xia's personal problems could not be ignored, so before leaving, Li Qian specially asked Zhuang Wen to pay attention to Li Ershan and Li Xia.

After Li Dashan mentioned this matter yesterday, at the dinner table in the evening, Li Qiao asked Li Ershan and Li Xia for their opinions, wondering what kind of other half they liked.

The two answered quite consistently:

It looks pleasing to the eye.

The two of them don't pay attention to any family background, and the only requirement is to look pleasing to the eye.

This request is actually more difficult than making a lot of requests, but the major events of a lifetime must be fulfilled by these two people.

Therefore, when returning from the banker's house, I passed by Xu Ying and Shen painters, and Li Qiao and Taozhu got off the ox cart and repeated what they had just asked Zhuang Wen to Xu Ying.

Zhuang Wen and Xu Ying stayed in the capital for a short time, and the two of them were like Li Qiao, and they knew few people, so after Xu Ying and Shen came out, Li Qiao Taozhu did not go home directly, but went to Han's house.

Although most of the people the Han family knows are from the family of merchants, Li Qiao is a young official, and Li Ershan and Li Xia are his nephews, so the range of choices is limited.

It would be nice if you could marry a wealthy businessman.

The next day, I went to work in the Hanlin Academy, and at noon, Xin Zhi had dinner with Li Qiao.

Today, Li Qiao didn't bring snacks, but brought some duck goods.

Tao Zhu and Li Dashan made a lot of duck goods in order to practice, not only for their own family to eat, but also to the Zhuang family, Xu Ying Shen Hua, Meng Yue, and the Han family.

Li Qiao naturally had to consume it, so he brought a food box to Xin Zhi and asked Xin Zhi to take it home.

After Xin Zhi tasted the duck goods, he really loved it to death.

However, he asked his grandfather last night if he could tell Li Qiao about the events of that year, and his grandfather immediately shook his head, and the ugliness of the family should not be publicized.

"Brother Li, you can only endure your curiosity first." He patted Li Qiao on the shoulder and said.
