Lu Desheng looked at his intact cousin Zhai Changping and burst into tears with excitement.

Li Wuchang smiled and said, "Desheng, don't worry about it now, I didn't bluff you, right?"

"Little one, thank you Fourth Prince!" Lu Desheng almost knelt down.

Li Wuchang dragged it down, and then ordered: "Don't be so polite, take your cousin down first, have a good meal, and rest for a few days, and in the future, your cousin will follow me, so you don't have to worry so much." ”

This time, Zhai Changping and his gang had a total of more than 40 people, and in the end only eight people escaped from death, Zhai Changping didn't want to be a military attache in the end, so he decided to mix with Li Wuchang, and there was a buddy who was good with him, that is, Cao Hao, who was an orphan and had nowhere to go, and decided to go with Li Wuchang, and the others went home separately, and made plans in the future.

Lu Desheng said excitedly: "Great, cousin, the two of us brothers and Brother Haozi will follow the fourth prince in the future, it is too dangerous to suppress bandits." ”

These days, Lu Desheng has been praying to God every day that he must let his cousin return safely, and now that he is finally fine, he is even more grateful to Li Wuchang in his heart.

Zhai Changping arched his hand at Li Wuchang and went down with Lu Desheng and Cao Hao.

Li Wuchang likes Dongli Restaurant very much, regards this place as his second home, usually likes to stay here when he has nothing to do, there is a big courtyard in the back, and there are many rooms, as long as he commands, no one will disturb him, whether it is eating or sleeping, or practicing, it is quite convenient.

The big mansion in Xuanpingfang, which cost 90,000 taels, will also go over often, and a lot of rooms will be cleaned up there, mainly Jiang Minglun and his mother live there, and the nurse and Xiaoru will sometimes go over to take a turn or something.

Zhao Xun has his own house, which is also in Xuanpingfang, not far from Li Wuchang's house.

Therefore, when everyone gathers, it is either in Dongli Restaurant or Xuanpingfang.

Tonight seems to be a good opportunity to have a big meal, I have to find Shopkeeper Chen's instructions, prepare wine and food in advance, and then go back to the Li Mansion to report to my father after the celebration.

"Fat Bear, go and see, why is Shopkeeper Chen still in the future? This is not efficient!" Li Wuchang lay lazily on the soft chair and complained casually.

Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun also collapsed on the soft chair, extremely comfortable.

The three of them have done a lot of things, and this trip to Shangluo is the most dangerous, and at this moment they all have a taste of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe.

"Yes, Fourth Son, the little one will go and urge it immediately. The fat bear on the side immediately ran out.

"You stinky boy still know to come back!" came the nurse's voice.

Li Wuchang hurriedly got up and prepared to greet the nurse.

Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun also sat up straight and pretended to drink tea.

Li Wuchang had a smile on his face, walked to the door, opened his arms, and said with a smile: "Nurse, aren't I coming back?"

Then he hugged the nurse fiercely, looked at the people behind him, and said in surprise: "Hey, Lord Ting, Miss Guo, Miss Lin, you are also here? What a great honor! Xiaoru is also here, do you miss me? Old Chen, immediately ordered to go down, prepare the best wine and food, today Uncle Ben has a treat, everyone have a good drink." ”

The nurse first pushed Li Wuchang away in disgust, then looked at Li Wuchang carefully for a long time, and complained: "Didn't you go for a few days, why did it take so long?"

Li Wuchang snorted and said, "If there are no ten days, they are all counted as days...... Come on, let's go eat, don't get angry, angry will grow old quickly. ”

Only then did the nurse muttered that she wanted to go down to make soup and let Li Wuchang have a good rest.

Li Wuchang's scalp is numb, he is a nurse who is good anywhere, he just likes to study some strange soups to nourish his body, and he puts a lot of tonics, and the taste is really not flattering.

"Are you okay?" Lin Qin looked at Li Wuchang and asked weakly, seeing Li Wuchang looking over, he immediately avoided his gaze, and then lowered his head.

Li Wuchang frowned, feeling strange.

What's wrong with Lin Qin, saying hello is so twisted, she doesn't have the usual cold appearance at all.

When Guo Yunling and Lu Ting saw Lin Qin like this, they both stared at Lin Qin, and then looked at Li Wuchang thoughtfully.

Xiao Ru also looked at Li Wuchang and pursed her lips.

The atmosphere is a little quirky.

Li Wuchang touched his head and replied, "I'm just going out to talk about business, what can I do?"

Zhao Xun also looked like a thief and wanted to laugh, Li Wuchang was a little inexplicable, first looked at it himself, found that there was nothing abnormal, and then said to Jiang Minglun: "Minglun, what's wrong with everyone?"

Jiang Minglun grinned and said, "I guess I'm hungry." ”

Then he touched his stomach and shouted, "Anyway, dinner time is coming, Shopkeeper Chen, go down and order someone to prepare dinner." By the way, there are a few more bowls of meat, a little more cooked roasted whole sheep, a few more jars for the second pot, and the rest you can do, just get more hard dishes. ”

Li Wuchang sighed, and arched his hand: "It turned out that I was hungry, blame me, blame me, let's go, everyone go to the private room first, celebrate tonight that I have negotiated a business, everyone will not return if they are not drunk." ”

As he spoke, he walked to the private room first, Jiang Minglun followed closely, shouting that he would eat a few more bowls of rice later.

The rest of the people all looked at Lin Qin, who was still with his head down, and couldn't say a word.

......

Li Mansion, East Courtyard Study.

Li Wuchang gave Li Lingwu a general report on the affairs of Shangluo County, mainly saying that Xue Shanglin sent people to fight on the mountain, and several of them went up the mountain in advance, and finally took the opportunity to rescue their friends, which was a bargain.

Li Lingwu listened very carefully, and after listening, he asked, "Xue Tingshi went in person?"

Li Wuchang said: "That's true, he also did it himself, although I haven't seen him make a move, but I asked him that there was a strong smell of blood on his body, and he must have experienced a fierce fight." ”

Then he handed Xue Shanglin's sword to Li Lingwu, and continued: "Xue Tingshi asked me to bring you this sword, saying that this sword has killed a lot of bandits, he said that you have no chance to suppress bandits, this sword is a souvenir, and he also said that he will invite you to drink next time I go back to Chang'an." ”

Then he euphemistically mentioned Xue Shanglin's massacre of the people, Li Wuchang knew that Xue Shanglin must have a good intention in sending a sword to his father, so he explained everything he knew.

Li Lingwu took the sword and said with a smile: "This old boy, will also come to this set?"

Then he pulled out the sword, looked at it, and continued: "Good sword...... Li Hu, I'm really a little envious of those old friends in the past, Zhou Sheng and Prince Ke fought in Jizhou, Tang Feihu and Liu Jingming's two slippery heads dealt with the Japanese in Yangzhou, His Royal Highness the King of Shu sat in Shudi, and Lin Qi's guy occasionally played with the Tubo people, Xue Shanglin, the old boy, suppressed bandits in Yongzhou, and even Liu Zhifan, the old boy, often went out of the city to handle cases, only Zheng Heng and I stayed in the capital. ”

The people Li Lingwu said were all young talents who were famous in Chang'an City back then, and now they are in different positions, contributing their strength to Dayan.

Li Hu on the side smiled: " I still remember that at that time, I and Zhongyue and the young brother always followed the eldest brother, making trouble all day long, looking for the sons of each family to compete with each other, those sons and brothers were more stinky than a fart, at that time, the king of Beihai and the king of Shu were already very clever, big brother, you are second, always the three of you come out on top when you compete, once everyone wanted to challenge the sword to respect his old man, but unfortunately no one can hold ten knives, and Zheng Heng is that outlier, he is very cold to everyone, and rarely comes out to play, and when he goes out occasionally, he still carries a book, Wen Crepe, and now he has become a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, alas！”

Li Lingwu smiled, obviously with some emotion, and said some interesting things that were nonsense back then.

Li Wuchang listened to Li Lingwu and Li Hu talk about the past, and he was fascinated.

Lu Yuanyu, Lu Yuanke, Li Lingwu, Tang Feihu, Zhou Sheng, Zheng Heng, Lin Qi, Xue Shanglin, Liu Zhifan, Liu Jingming and others are now important ministers of Dayan, and they can't imagine that they were also playful when they were young.

After Li Lingwu finished his remembrance, he looked at Li Wuchang and said: "Impermanence, didn't you ask me last time about the imperial court's recruitment of the sons and daughters of the nobles to the battlefield, what do you think?"

Some time ago, the imperial court did recruit a group of noble sons to go to the battlefield, or go to Jizhou to fight against the Khitans, or go to Yangzhou to fight against the Japanese invaders, or go to Liangzhou to fight against Tubo or suppress bandits, and some stayed in Yongzhou and went to the following counties with serious bandits to suppress bandits.

After the martial arts conference, people of Li Wuchang's generation will also start to serve the imperial court.

For example, Li Wufeng has now entered the Praetorian Guard, Liu Xuan has entered the military department as a small leader, and other sons and brothers have also entered various departments and began to learn to deal with some government affairs.

Most of those arranged sons are the sons-in-law of major families, and the path has already been set, so there is nothing strange about it.

Li Wuchang is just an inconsequential concubine, but at this time, Li Lingwu asked him what he thought, what does this mean?

You must know that the concubine of a big family, if he is not talented, the family will generally not waste resources on him, and when he becomes an adult, he will either help the family take care of the business or Zhuangzi, or directly divide the family.

Li Wuchang coughed lightly and said: "It's not that I don't have ideas, it may be a little embarrassing to say it, I just think that if I make more money and take the nurse and Xiaoru to live a happy life, father, you also know me, I am most greedy for life and afraid of death, and if I go to the battlefield or suppress bandits, it is estimated that my legs will be scared and weak, not only will I not be able to help much, but I will also add to the chaos." ”

To be honest, Li Wuchang is already an adult, and he has also thought about how to go in the future.

Of course, we must first find out the cause of my mother's accident and wait for an opportunity to take revenge, which may involve the Zhang family, and the problem will be very tricky, but it has to be done.

Secondly, as he said, earn more silver, live a more stable life, and if you are noble, occasionally help the people around you who are living in difficulty, which is considered to accumulate virtue.

There are no big ideals, just go with the flow.

As for the major affairs of the imperial court, Li Wuchang didn't think about it, and he didn't want to think about it.

Li Hu frowned and said, "You are so enlightened, have you never thought of serving the imperial court?"

Li Wuchang spread his hands and said: "Uncle Hu thinks my consciousness can be high? Besides, it's not that I haven't served the imperial court, when I checked the accounts a few days ago, my Dongli Restaurant and Lu Ji have paid tens of thousands of taels of tax silver since they opened, which can be regarded as doing my best for the imperial court." ”

Li Lingwu and Li Hu were taken aback when they heard this, they couldn't imagine that Li Wuchang had paid so many taxes in such a short time, so he must have made a lot of money.

You must know that Dayan's business tax is not high.

Li Wuchang saw the question between the two, smiled, and slowly explained the reason.

"Although you two often go to the East Fence Restaurant, but never give money for dinner, so I don't know the consumption there, go to the high-end box to eat a good meal, no big hundreds of taels can not be done, except for the best few boxes to entertain VIPs, other boxes must be booked, otherwise you can't eat. ”

"Do you know, I have invited more than a dozen masters who study dishes alone, and the salary is several times higher than that of other places, I am responsible for coming up with ideas, they are responsible for making them, and if a good dish comes out, there are heavy rewards, and I even invited some senior foodies, who are specifically responsible for tasting dishes, and put forward advantages and disadvantages, even the most ordinary guys have to go through professional training before they can take up their posts, I dare to say that there is no restaurant in Dayan that is as particular as Dongli Restaurant. ”

"In addition, Lu Ji has received orders for several years, all of which are orders from large families, our Li family is free, and the accounts are all recorded on my head, the samurai clothes you two wear are the latest style of Lu Ji, and it is also the most popular style at the moment, or I designed it myself, and then after Lu Ji's most famous tailor master repeatedly pondered before finalizing, those masters have made clothes for a lifetime, and their temper is stubborn, and I spent a lot of money to invite them with a smile. ”

Li Lingwu and Li Hu listened to Li Wuchang's eloquent words, only to realize that this kid really had a set of things about business.

Although they don't look down on businessmen, they always think that businessmen are just small roads, and they don't know that there are so many twists and turns in it, and they definitely can't do it without putting some effort into it.

And a job dedicated to eating vegetables?

It's really insightful.

Li Hu looked at his own clothes up and down, and muttered: "The clothes in the past few months are indeed more neat than before, and people are in a lot of energy when they wear them, and I am still strange." ”

Li Lingwu sighed with emotion and said: "Although you want to live a stable life, but now you also know the situation in Dayan, no one can be left alone, in a few days, I will arrange an errand for you, you have to be mentally prepared." ”

Li Wuchang asked, "When exactly do you need to leave Chang'an?"

Li Lingwu said: "I will leave Chang'an, but it will not be too far, it is within Yongzhou, as for the specific time, let's wait for the situation in Jizhou to become clear, and then after a while, it will be your Uncle Ji's birthday, and you will not be arranged to go until your Uncle Ji's birthday, in addition, you can rest assured that your restaurant and clothing shop can be hung in my name, I will let the wind out, and no one will touch your industry." ”

Li Wuchang nodded and thanked his father respectfully.

But I wondered what kind of errand it was.

Yongzhou?

It's not going to be a bandit, is it?
