The servants of the Li family moved cartloads of gifts home, and Li Yi stood in the yard, thinking of new ways to get money.
It's not a big deal to always go missing, once or twice is okay, others are not fools, if the number of times is too many, they might suspect that this is a fraudulent gift. Once it's over.
Thinking about it carefully, when Ruyi and Baitang got married, they were in a daze, and they didn't even remember what happened.
This is the first time in his life to get married, it is too hasty, and he will have to find an opportunity to hold another formal wedding in the future. It will be grand and earth-shattering. , as for Li Xuan—see how many gifts he gave.
In this way, there are still many opportunities to receive gifts in the future...
Thinking about it again, it seems that my birthday is coming soon, and I spent the first two years at home with Ruyi and the others, should I make some arrangements this year
Well, this is something worth considering.
"Grandpa, there's no room for that room."
Lao Fang came over and said with a look of surprise. Today is not a holiday either, and the gift givers are almost lining up outside the village.
"Clean up another room and come out." Li Yi waved his hand, and when he was about to go out to have a look, he saw someone who surprised him.
"I have met Li County Marquis."
When seeing Li Yi again, the guard's attitude was very low.
It is not an exaggeration for others to give gifts. This Minister of Rites, the guard of the Ministry of Rites, is from the King of Shu, and has a close relationship with the Chen family. How could he come here at this time? Could it be that he was attracted by his own personality charm and wanted to abandon the dark and turn to the bright
Wei Shilang glared at Wei Junliang, and said angrily: "Nizi, hurry up and admit your mistake to County Marquis Li!"
One side of Wei Junliang's face was still swollen, and he said in a trembling voice: "Mr. Li, I was the one who offended you because I didn't know Taishan. Please don't remember the villain..."
Although the two were about the same age, Wei Junliang was so courageous that he did not dare to regard each other as someone of the same status as himself.
Wei Ji said with a dry smile, "Master Hou, the money to pay for the girl's clothes was sent over last night."
After leaving the Chen family yesterday, the last ray of hope in his heart was also extinguished.
Although he had just been transferred to the capital not long ago, he had already heard about the method of the Li County Marquis who killed without blood.
If he is his target, even if there is the Chen family behind him, it will not end well.
Li Yi smiled and said, "Master Wei is really trustworthy..."
Wei Ji nodded again and again: "It should, it should..."
Seeing that the two were still standing here, Li Yi tentatively asked, "Master Wei, would you like to go in and have a cup of tea?"
The meaning of this sentence is of course not to invite them in for a cup of tea. To understand it accurately, it should be why you are not leaving. Do you want me to invite you in for a cup of tea
Wei Ji is an old man with first-class ability to read words and demeanor, so he can naturally understand what he means.
"Li County is busy, we will go back first."
"My lord, you are back..." A young man walked in from the outside, looked at Li Yi with a happy face, then looked back, and asked doubtfully, "My lord, is that Wei Ji, the servant of the Ministry of Rites?"
Li Yi patted Liu Yishou on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "I'm already a servant, so don't call me adults."
Liu Yishou smiled, neither agreed nor refuted.
Some habits cannot be changed in a short time, and he has no plans to change them.
"Isn't Wei Ji from the Chen family?" Liu Yishou asked with a trace of doubt on his face, "Why did he come here?"
Wei Ji patted his ass and left, and Li Yi realized that this guy only brought his son with him today, and he didn't give gifts when he came to visit—it's rude!
"I don't know..." He shook his head when he heard Liu Yishou's words, and said, "I heard that the guard spent 10,000 taels of silver to buy a piece of clothing. It doesn’t add up to that much, and I don’t know where the money came from, so you have to pay more attention after you go down, the wind of corruption is bad…”
Liu Yishou's status in the secret spy department is not low. As a sharp sword hanging over the heads of hundreds of officials, the secret spy department has the function of supervising and warning them. Combating corruption is also one of their responsibilities.
After Liu Yishou was stunned, he nodded and said, "This subordinate has remembered."
Originally, I planned to go out early today to look at the house, and then inspect the shop, check the fence, and see the posture outside. I am afraid that this plan will be shelved temporarily, and I will wait until the afternoon to see the situation.
"I heard that you slapped Qin Yu again in the restaurant yesterday. It's really a relief. Unfortunately, I wasn't there..." Li Xuan walked in with a very regretful expression.
His character is that he doesn't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement. He can kick the king of Shu twice. He even beat Qin Yu once before him. , I always like to rob other people's wives, and when I go out, I'm either slapped in the face or seriously injured, this is retribution...
After having the Academy of Sciences, Li Xuan became a real scientific madman. He couldn't see the princess in the palace, so he could only vent all his energy on research.
Li Xuan didn't come alone. His uncle Wang Yong followed behind him, stepped forward, and said apologetically to Li Yi: "I'm really sorry, I have already punished Wang Yue for what happened yesterday. Brother Li, don't take it to heart."
"How come, the child is disobedient, just hang it up and smoke it." Li Yi is not a person who likes to hold grudges, so he waved his hand to show that he didn't care.
"It's said inside." Wang Yong came here, probably to discuss matters related to cooperation with him. As a friendly business partner, his attitude towards him is naturally better.
After serving the tea, Wang Yong just took a sip, then cut straight to the point, and described to Li Yi in detail the things related to the colored glaze business in the past few months.
A few months ago, when Li Yi left the capital, it happened to be the end of the colored glaze charity sale of the Wang family.
The number of colored glazes at the charity bazaar was carefully planned, which could not only meet the needs of the wealthy people in Kyoto, but also prevent them from appearing rotten and causing prices to plummet.
The royal family, the Wang family, and the Li family made a lot of money in those few days.
Afterwards, in order to ensure continuous profits, except for the occasional small amount of glazed wares from the Wang family around the capital, there was no large-scale glazed sales.
Waves of Fanbang merchants came out of the capital, leaving their footprints all over Jingguo. They walked out of Jingguo and went to the world, letting the light of the never-setting sun shine to farther places...
"The Cui family has accumulated a large amount of colored glaze through some channels." Wang Yong frowned slightly, and said, "Although they haven't released it yet, I heard that the Cui family will hold an exhibition in the capital soon." The Glass Appreciation Fair is not good news for us."
Of course Li Yi knew how the Cui family obtained Liuli, and he had been paying attention to the news from the Cui family.
However, he still doesn't know that the Cui family will also hold a glass appreciation meeting. It seems that even if there is an intelligence system, sometimes, these centuries-old clans are not well informed.
There are actually quite a few businesses under the name of the Cui family, involving a wide range of fields. The Li family has almost an absolute monopoly on the business of perfume and spirits, but there are no big secrets to speak of in terms of clothing or weaving. , There are countless counterfeiters, and the Cui family is the biggest counterfeiter. Even if the quality and reputation are not the same, it will still affect their own business more or less.
Miss Zeng complained to herself yesterday that these counterfeiters with bad intentions use inferior materials and low prices, and have a very bad reputation among customers, which has affected the entire clothing circle...
It seems that during the time when I was not in the capital, the Cui family was quite happy.
"Glass appreciation meeting?" Li Yi smiled and murmured: "It seems that it's time to release a large wave of Fanbang merchants..."
A look of doubt appeared on Wang Yong's face, he looked at him and asked, "What is Dabo?"
