Chapter 180: The Wei Family's Shock
Winter is Li Shen's least favorite season, because it is too cold and he can't go anywhere. During the Zhenguan period, there were also some clothes made of animal skins to keep out the cold.
Li Shen now thinks that he should go to the Western Regions to find cotton?
Today, Li Shen is the same as usual. Relax on a deck chair in the courtyard and enjoy the unique scenery of winter. By the way, basking in the sun, don't they all say that they grew up in the sun. Haruka is still making tea for him. Wu Meiniang rubbed his shoulders. Dongmei took the fruit and fed it to Li Shen.
Someone here asked, where does the fruit come from in the winter? Of course, there are no normal fruits, these fruits are canned by Li Shen when the fruits are ripe. It has been stored in the ice cellar until now.
Because of the production problem, it is only for the palace and the harem to eat.
Li Shen is very satisfied with his current life. Although it is winter now, it is colder. But Li Shen's heart is hot.
"Lord Wang. The four uncles came. Stone walked over and whispered
"Oh. Please go to the front hall and serve tea. I'll just get there with a change of clothes. Li Shen reluctantly got up.
When Li Shen changed his clothes and arrived in the front hall, the four of Wei Siyan were already waiting here.
After the two sides met, Li Shen asked, "Why do the four uncles have time to come to me today?" I've heard that you've opened tea estates in several states. I guess I didn't make a lot of money this year. ”
"Don't laugh at the prince. We can't compare our earnings with the royal palace. Ay. Fortunately, I listened to my eldest sister's words. Wei Siyan sighed
"Yes, Lord Wang, the concubine told us at the beginning that let's not rely too much on the family. We have no elders in Yungongfang, and no one looks down on us. Especially Wei Ting's free public house, the concubines and concubines all said that they were white-eyed wolves. The third Wei Siren is straightforward and fast-talking
"Third child, don't say some things outside, after all, we are also members of the Wei clan." Wei Siyan reproached
"Oh? Sounds like there's a story in it. Let's talk about it," Li Shen's curiosity suddenly rose.
"Big brother, if you don't say it, I will say it." The fourth Wei Si Li was young and had a straight temper, and when he saw Wei Siyan's hesitation, he immediately said
"Lord, thanks to the care of the palace at the beginning, our four brothers are now very wealthy. This year we opened tea estates in several more states.
But some time ago, an elder of the Xiaoyao Public House found us. said that for the sake of the family's business, he asked us to hand over half of the dividends to the family, and asked us to provide supplies for all the tea estates of the Wei family. ”
"And this?" Li Shen asked. It's shameless, isn't it?
"yes. At the beginning, the eldest sister was right, the family was sucking our blood. When we weren't rich, they didn't even look at us, and the official positions of our few were still asked for by the eldest sister after she entered the palace. Wei Siyan was a little depressed.
"And then." Li Shen continued to ask
"The eldest sister had already expected that we would definitely have such a day when we worked with you. We have been prepared for a long time, and we told the clan elder that our tea house has a fifty percent bonus for the eldest sister, and if he wants to take it, he will go to the palace to find the eldest sister. That's the end of the free public house. Wei Siyan took a sip of tea after speaking.
"Uncle, don't worry. Whatever happens in the future, you can just push it on me. Don't bother my mother, I don't want my mother to worry about some unnecessary things, you know" Li Shen didn't want Wei Guifei to worry about their little, he hoped that Wei Guifei could be happy every day.
Today's Li Shen is not without the ability to protect himself, and he can take charge on his own.
And he also has a killer feature is Empress Changsun, his mother told him that the importance of Empress Changsun to Li Shimin is beyond his imagination.
He saved the life of Empress Changsun, which is equivalent to a life amulet. Even if it is a rebellion, there will be no fear of life. At most, they were reduced to commoners and exiled for 3,000 miles. Li Shen believes that this is the power of love.
"Thank you, but we can handle it." Wei Siyan refused
You can handle the, don't you have to find my mother? Li Shen thought in his heart but didn't say it.
"Lord Wang, we came here this time to bring you this," Wei Siyan said, taking out a cloth bag.
Li Shen opened it and saw that it was full of divine beads. There must be more than a hundred. "What is this??"
"This is all we have collected recently, I heard that you are going to send a congratulatory gift to the eldest sister, but the divine beads are not enough.
So we bought these and sent them to you first, not enough for us to collect them, which can be regarded as a little bit of our heart to the eldest sister. Wei Siyan felt a little less embarrassed.
"It cost a lot of money." Two thousand five hundred pieces, more than one hundred pieces, and more than 300,000 pieces. Li Shen knew that this money must have been made up by four people, and 300,000 yuan was not a small amount for them.
"We still have some savings, but we can only buy so much at the moment." Wei Siren was embarrassed to tell the truth. What is not enough to collect, how can there be money.
"Fugui will let people send 100,000 yuan to each of the four uncles' families tomorrow." Li Shen was very moved.
Li Shen could feel that they were sincere to Concubine Wei, after all, the elders of Yun Gongfang were gone. The only backbone is Wei Guifei.
With their age, they still have to walk a long way to get to the next level, and this is still with the help of Concubine Wei.
"No, no, no, you can't do it, lord, this is all our filial piety to the eldest sister." The four Wei Siyan brothers hurriedly waved their hands.
"Hey, take it. This is also for the sake of your affection and righteousness towards my mother. Otherwise~~~~" Li Shen didn't know what to say when he said this.
"Haruka, go and get what we played with today."
After a while, Haruka came back with a palm-sized black cloth bag. Li Shen took the cloth bag and handed it to Wei Siyan. "Look at it."
Wei Siyan took the cloth bag and didn't understand what it meant, so he opened it and took a look.
"Ahh I was stunned when I saw it.
I saw that there were five or six beads the size of an eye in the cloth bag. It was several times larger than they had ever seen, and it looked like there was still some dust and bump marks on it.
"Lord Wang, this is 。。。。。" Wei Siyan looked up at Li Shen and asked.
"It's something I'm having fun with."
"How... How.." Wei Siqi didn't know how to describe it
"How can it be the same as the Divine Bead? Actually, they were originally the same thing. It's just a big one, a small one. One has holes, one has no holes. Li Shen explained with a smile
"What's going on," Wei Siyan's head was no longer enough.
"Don't ask, just don't accept the beads in the future. Don't tell the public, but in time you will know. Li Shen said to a few people.
In fact, Li Shen was not afraid of them saying it, and the first crop of leeks had already been cut. Now he's cutting the second crop of leeks.
After chatting for a while, the four brothers left in a daze. They already understood in their hearts that this nephew had made a game, a big game. The family and scholars are all involved, and the others can only be regarded as victims.
It's horrible. No wonder there is a saying in Guogong that it is too insidious to play with this child less in the future.
Think about it, if it wasn't Li Shen this time, it was someone else, then they would really have suffered a heavy loss. Now this group of people is still fantasizing that the Divine Bead can be exchanged for a huge amount of wealth.
"Big brother, I.. I.. I don't think I'll go to the court tomorrow. I'm afraid to talk about it. Fourth Wesley said nervously.
"Don't be nervous, King Ji is our own person. Afraid of what. ”
"Big brother, there are tens of millions involved in this. Datang may not be able to collect so many taxes in a year now. This time they're really going to break their bones. ”
"Okay, don't talk. Hurry home. I feel a little cold. ”
(Someone is bound to make a bar.) Asked how can you still make canned food. All I can say is that my mom makes canned food. Goodbye)
