The front hall of Li's house.
"You said you're a brat who doesn't do your job all day long and only makes messy things! Can you let Lan'er play with such dangerous things?"
Li Jingmo paced, pointed at Li Zexuan's nose and cursed fiercely, mainly because today's matter was too dangerous.
"Dad, it's Lan'er's own thing to play with, it's none of my brother's business." Seeing her father criticizing her brother, Lan'er quickly came over and pulled her father's sleeve and said weakly.
"I haven't talked about you yet. You come from a girl's family. You act like a wild boy all day long, following your brother's ass and going crazy. Recently, you haven't gone to your mother to learn how to be a female worker."
Hearing Lan'er speak, Li Jingmo changed his target again and said angrily.
Lan'er's eyes were red because of her father's fierceness, and her tears were about to fall. She grabbed her brother's hand, lowered her head and bit her lips and did not dare to speak anymore. Mainly because she felt that she was indeed in the wrong today.
Li Zexuan couldn't stand it any longer. He put his arms around the poor Lan'er and said to his father: "Dad, Lan'er is still young. Let her play as she wants. Why do you have to force her to learn this and that? . Our family has so much money, are we still afraid that Lan'er will not have enough to eat and drink in the future?"
Although Li Jingmo didn't expect his son and daughter to learn skills to make money for the family, but when he heard Li Zexuan say it so naturally, as if all the money in the family was earned by him, he was almost so angry that he breathed a sigh of relief. After calming down, he said:
"What's wrong with so much money at home? It's not earned by you or me. Why, do you still want to stay at home and wait for death? Besides, Lan'er is almost seven years old. If you don't learn how to be a female worker, how will you get married in the future? go out!"
Li Zexuan was speechless. Lan'er was only less than seven years old. Dad actually thought so far ahead. Although he knew that what his father said was a bit angry, Li Zexuan was still a little unhappy and said:
"Dad, my child will not stay at home and wait to die. Even if Lan'er doesn't learn anything and can't get married, my child can earn her own money and support her for the rest of her life. My sister is not allowed to suffer any injustice from anyone. Not only Lan'er, Children can also rely on their own abilities to earn money to support their parents in their old age!"
After saying that, he looked at the dumbfounded Father Li with an arrogant face and serious eyes. His eyes seemed to say: "Yes, you heard me right, I just want to make money by myself!"
When Lan'er heard her brother speaking for her like this, her heart was full of sweetness. She hugged her brother's arm hard and never wanted to let go. She thought in her heart: My brother is so good, better than his father!
Li Jingmo was stunned for a moment, then calmed down, stepped forward and put his hand on Li Zexuan's forehead, and said worriedly: "Xuan'er, you don't have a fever..."
"What, my Xuan'er, are you sick?" An exclamation came from outside the door, and then Mrs. Li rushed to Li Zexuan like a gust of wind, pulling him to look around carefully.
It turned out that Xiaohe had seen the young master and the young lady being disciplined in the front hall before, and hurriedly ran to the east courtyard to bring reinforcements. The servants in the Li Mansion all knew that the master was afraid of his wife.
Li Zexuan's face was covered with black lines and he slapped his father's hand away from his forehead. He looked at Mrs. Li and said, "Mom, Xuan'er is fine, don't worry."
He turned around again and said to his father seriously: "Dad, what I just said is serious. I don't want to stay at home and grow old all the time. I also want to do something by myself to provide for my parents in the future!"
I know my father doesn’t believe in his child’s abilities, but wasn’t the chicken he gnawed before a proof? From this alone, Zuixianlou's current profit is probably more than a thousand dollars, right? "
Li Zexuan really wanted to open a small shop and sell the things he could think of to the people of Tang Dynasty, so that he could not only make money but also find something to do for himself. Otherwise, he would be embarrassed if he spent time at home gnawing at his old age. After all, there is a twenty-five-year-old soul in this body.
Hearing this, Li Jingmo swallowed back what he just wanted to refute. The profit brought by the chickens to Zuixianlou in the past half month is more than a thousand dollars. A few days ago, shopkeeper Liu said that due to the strong demands of diners, the daily supply of chickens in Zuixianlou has been increasing repeatedly.
There are too many dignitaries in Chang'an City, and it is not cost-effective to limit supply blindly because it will offend many people for no reason. Later, Li Jingmo simply decided to no longer limit the number of chickens he could eat, and even launched a takeout service in Zuixianlou. As a result, the sales of chickens he nibbled increased sharply, and in less than half a month, the profits he brought were nearly More than four thousand strings.
Although Li Jingmo has been in business for decades and has seen hundreds of thousands of dollars in money, he was also shocked by the huge profits from this chicken. Hearing Li Zexuan's words at this time, Li Jingmo was shaken in his heart.
Just as he was about to agree, he suddenly felt a familiar pain in his waist.
"I said you old fool, it turns out that you want to force Xuan'er to go out and make money. Why are you keeping so much money from our family? Are you taking it into the coffin? Since you don't want to see our mother and son so much, then I will Go back to your parents’ home with Xuan’er!”
Mrs. Li listened to the conversation here and immediately understood what they were arguing about, and she became angry instantly.
Father Li was so pinched that he grimaced and grimaced, secretly thinking that this woman was so unreasonable. He quickly explained: "Hi~ Madam, things are not what you think... let go first!"
Mrs. Li refused. She really felt sorry for her son now. Seeing that Li Jingmo seemed to want to drive her son out of the house and become self-reliant, Mrs. Li could not hold back. Her eyes were red with anger, and her hands were getting stronger and stronger. Big, Father Li's face gradually turned from red to purple.
At this moment, Father Li felt extremely wronged, but his wife did not give him a chance to explain, and immediately sent a distress signal to his son with her eyes.
Li Zexuan stepped forward with some humor and pulled my mother away and said: "Mom, it's not what you think. It's my son who wants to do something. He has nothing to do at home all day, so why not do something to earn some money? You can’t just stay at home and eat your old age every day, right?”
Mrs. Li stared at her and said, "Why can't you just stay at home and grow old? Your father has earned so much money, but he hasn't spent it on you? Why don't you just stay at home with your mother every day?" After that, she said harshly He glared at Mr. Li. It was estimated that if he dared to say no at this moment, he would have to sleep in the study again at night.
Of course, Father Li didn't dare to say no. At this moment, he was turning his face away, rubbing his waist and recovering from his injuries!
Li Zexuan couldn't help but smile. How could he encourage his child to become an old man, but he was still a little touched in his heart.
"Mom, my master taught me a lot during my lifetime, and I still want to carry it forward! Besides, I can't rely on you and my parents to support me my whole life. My father is getting older, and I want to grow up as soon as possible so that you and my parents can enjoy happiness!"
Listening to the sincerity of their son's words, both parents were very relieved. When their son grew up, he knew how to be filial to his parents. For parents in the world, there is nothing more gratifying than this.
Mrs. Li looked at her son with a loving face and said, "Since Xuan'er you want to do something in your career, and my mother supports you, if you need anything, you must tell your mother! Do you hear me?"
Li Zexuan quickly nodded in agreement, then turned around and said to Li Jingmo: "Dad, I can definitely build a bigger business empire."
Seeing his son's face full of confidence, Li Jingmo stroked his beard with great relief and said, "Since Xuan'er is so confident, let's go ahead and do it."
Li Zexuan agreed, and Lan'er interrupted: "Lan'er also wants to help her brother with big things. Lan'er doesn't want wages."
Everyone was amused by Lan'er's innocent words. Li Zexuan smiled and rubbed Lan'er's head, wanting to pull Lan'er out.
Suddenly something seemed to occur to him. He paused and walked back to Li Jingmo, who was looking happy and said, "Dad, since I want to start my own business and open a store, you can't help but give me the capital, right?"
Li Jingmo said in a low voice: "Then how much do you want?"
Li Zexuan smiled and tried: "It's not much, just give me half a month's profit from the chickens eaten by Zuixianlou. Can it be counted as a thousand guan?"
Li Jingmo's eyes lit up when he heard this. This little brat probably thought that the current chicken nibbling limit was still limited to two hundred servings per day, so he pretended to be generous and said: "How can one thousand guan be enough? I will give you two thousand guan as the initial capital." .”
Li Zexuan was overjoyed. His father was quite generous. He quickly thanked his father and took Lan'er away.
Seeing the joy on his son's face, as if he thought he had taken advantage of him, Li Jingmo couldn't help but laugh in his heart and said: "Hey, ginger is still hotter when he is old!"
