After sending Mo Sitong and Xu Shiyang away, in the lobby, the three brothers were speechless for a while, and each of them sank for about half a pillar of incense, Qin Yihai looked at Lin Huan and said, "Third brother, ask my younger brothers and sisters to come to the house for dinner at night." ”

"Yes. Lin Huan seemed to be waiting for this sentence, and he was in the middle of it.

Uncle Cheng knew that Qin Yihai was embarrassed, and muttered: "Those two bitches raised by the eldest brother want to push the eldest brother to jump into the fire, and it is too early to make a conclusion!"

Qin Yihai looked serious and said lightly: "Taking precautions is also the way of business." ”

The Li family of Taishan Mansion.

Today's light rain, Li Xiantong has been standing at the door and watching the light rain before winter for a while. Behind him, his six-year-old son Li Bujian ran over with a big mink fur and said in a milky voice: "Daddy, my mother said that there is an autumn rain and a cold, and Daddy should pay attention to keeping warm." ”

Li Xiantong came back to his senses at this time, turned around and picked up the mink fur that his youngest son brought over and put it on, and then hugged his youngest son and said with a smile: "My family can take my father's big mink fur unruly." ”

The five sons of the Li family, the eldest Li Baohu is twenty-three years old, and the youngest Li Bujian is six years old.

The second son Li Baolong also came over, and now that Li Baohu is married, he will leave his parents and go to Jiangnan to play in the mountains and rivers, and Li Baolong has naturally become the main force in the family. Li Baolong is nineteen years old, but he is quite similar to Li Baohu, just like twins born in the same year, same month and day.

He saw his father's worries, so he took advantage of Li Xiantong's good mood and asked: "Father, now that the official silver of Taishan Mansion has been sent to the Tai'an Dart Bureau, there will be official silver from other state capitals to escort it over in the future, and this time the official silver is estimated to cost thirty carriages, which is extremely large, and we don't know if it is enough." ”

Li Xiantong sighed: "Originally, I thought there was little business, but now that the business is all here, it is a little difficult to swallow." I didn't expect my Li family to have today, and the marquis is high. ”

Li Baolong was puzzled: "Father, the child thinks that the Li family's return to the imperial court is the trend of the times, and there is nothing wrong with it." ”

Li Xiandao: "You are still young, you don't know what a high place is unbearable." Before, our Li family was also a wealthy family, whether it was in the rivers and lakes or in the dart game, it was open. Now, with a hereditary title, there are fewer friends. Those state capitals now want to curry favor with me, a marquis who has no real power, so they will not be afraid of trouble to entrust the official money to the Tai'an Dart Bureau to escort. However, these official silvers are huge in quantity, and if they are escorted separately, I am afraid that there will not be so many reliable people. If we had personally escorted thirty wagons, it would be too conspicuous to keep the exiles, and the risk of creating a crisis along the road would be much greater than before. ”

Li Xiantong's worries Li Baolong actually thought about it: "Father, don't worry, this time our three brothers will be escorted with our father, if any lawbreaker dares to rob the dart, he will definitely not come back!"

Li Xiantong was relieved: "My son is brave and worry-free for his father!"

Let's say that Guo Suzhen and Lin Huan have been getting along for a year, Qin Yihai has not asked Guo Suzhen to eat at home, Lin Huan knows the temper of the eldest brother, and he has not spoken. Sometimes when he was busy, Lin Huan slept in the dart game, and sometimes when he was free, he went to the Ten Thousand Poison Gate to share the bed with Guo Suzhen.

This time, Guo Suzhen took the gift that had been prepared a long time ago and went happily.

At the banquet, Guo Suzhen met her two sisters-in-law and gave away the jade bracelets specially prepared. Qin Yihai saw that she was so polite, and she was also in love with Lin Huan, but she was actually quite satisfied from the bottom of her heart, but she couldn't pull her face.

After three rounds of drinking, Qin Yihai asked the two ladies to go down first, Guo Suzhen was just about to get up, Qin Yihai said, "You stay." ”

Guo Suzhen winked at Lin Huan, but Lin Huan pretended not to see it.

Qin Yihai asked: "Third brother, have you told her about the Sanhe Dart Bureau and the Qingshi Dart Bureau today?"

Lin Huan said: "I have already said it." ”

Qin Yihai got straight to the point and said: "Okay, now there are no outsiders, tell me what you think." ”

Uncle Cheng was frank in the same direction, and said: "Big brother, we have also saved a lot of money in the past few years, if I want to say that we should respond to all changes with the same, if the supply of goods decreases too much from next year to the middle of the year, we will directly close the dart bureau and open other businesses, and now in a peaceful and prosperous world, what kind of money is not easy to earn!"

Qin Yihai nodded: "That's the truth." After that, he looked at Lin Huan again.

Lin Huan had actually paid attention to it, and Qin Yihai also knew his thoughts, but he might be different from Uncle Cheng, so he kept silent, and even Qin Yihai probably didn't dare to take this risk.

Lin Huan said: "It's better to take advantage of the opportunity to fight." ”

Qin Yihai had long expected Lin Huan to have this idea: "Third brother, open your words and say it." ”

Lin Huan opened the iron armor fan he carried with him, which was a habit he had to do every time he thought about something: "Finally, there is such a big tiger as Tai'an Dart Bureau, and the small dart games in the world are afraid of being swallowed alone. Therefore, today Mo Sitong and Xu Shiyang will put aside their old grievances and come to find the eldest brother to be the east. Especially this Mo Sitong, he is already an old Jianghu, he has a ruthless vision, and he knows that he can't fight against the Tai'an Dart Bureau on his own, and only by pulling the eldest brother can he have the strength to fight. The eldest brother's personality is well known to everyone in the rivers and lakes, so these little darts don't dare to come to the eldest brother, because they know that the eldest brother is cautious, and they are not enough to convince the eldest brother. Now that these two have come, they have a bottom, and I am afraid that they will be able to shake the eldest brother's domineering heart. ”

After Lin Huan finished speaking, he looked at Qin Yihai, and Qin Yihai suddenly smiled boldly: "The third brother still understands me, continue to talk." ”

Lin Huan continued: "If the World Dart Club is established, it is necessary to formulate the rules of darts between darts that cannot be bullied by big and small, and each one depends on his ability. In this way, with constraints, no matter how big his Tai'an dart game is, he can't swallow the world's supply, as for those small dart games that can't hold up, it's normal to have a bad voice. If the big brother takes advantage of the trend and takes the lead, that is the general leader of the world dart club, if the Tai'an dart bureau is unwilling to join, it will be excluded, if it joins, it will not be able to merge other small dart bureaus, both options will make the Tai'an dart bureau unable to monopolize the world's supply. At that time, although our business will also be affected by the Tai'an Dart Bureau, the eldest brother will be the leader of the World Dart Club, not to mention the later interests, that is, the status in the rivers and lakes in the future, will also be greatly improved, these will be regarded as compensation in exchange for losses, so it seems that it is beneficial. ”

Cheng Shutong listened to Lin Huan's opinion, and said with a row of heads: "You said that I am a stupid papaya seed, why didn't I think of this." ”

Qin Yihai said: "The third brother has the same idea as me, but today Mo Sitong and Xu Shiyang are in the hall, even if they know these interests, they can't break them, otherwise it will ruin the premise of our alliance." I pretended to be embarrassed, but in fact, I also wanted to make an illusion for those who couldn't understand it. The three of us brothers must not make a public announcement, and it will not be too abrupt until a few days later when the two come uninvited and reluctantly agree. ”

Lin Huan said: "Big brother is wise. ”

After that, Qin Yihai looked at Guo Suzhen: "What do you think?"

Guo Suzhen didn't expect Qin Yihai to ask herself: "I...... Me. I don't think there's anything wrong with people's choice to go to higher places. ”

Lin Huan saw through Qin Yihai's thoughts: "Suzhen, when the time comes, you still need to borrow the Ten Thousand Poison Gate." ”
