Chapter 179 Narrow (1)

When Hu Guan arrived at the living room in the front yard, Li Fangying was sitting on the Grand Master's chair, looking at the teacup in her hand in a daze.

"Master Li San!" Hu Guan entered the house and bowed his hands first.

"I dare not!" Li Fangying put down the teacup in her hand and smiled, "The emperor has met the prince consort!"

"You are too humble!" Hu Guan didn't give in and said with a hurried smile, "I have no errands now, so you don't have to give in one slap in one!"

"Then, the so-called four major irons in life, pass by the window, share the spoils, piaochang, and prison guards. My husband and I are also friends in times of distress. I climbed up and called Brother Hu?"

Hu Guan's face stuttered slightly, and he thought to himself, "This kid's enthusiasm for driving his son is exactly the same as his elder brother!"

"Okay, since that's the case, I will be brothers!" Hu Guan pointed to the Arhat bed in the hall, "Please sit down!"

Inviting someone to sit on the Arhat bed is the highest courtesy to treat people.

The two sat on the left and right sides of the Luohan bed. A maid came up and presented them with new tea, which was placed on the small table on the Luoshan bed.

"Your tea set?" Li Fangying looked at the porcelain again, "Previous Yuan blue and white?"

His way of speaking made Hu Guan very uncomfortable. He was like a hammer and a stick. You couldn't figure out what he would say next.

But the scene could only echo and smiled, "I don't know either. This was the item sent from the palace when the princess was dowrying!"

"That's it!" Li Fangying sighed, "Since the Emperor of Yuan Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty opened a tea factory in Wuyi Mountain to pick tea leaves for royal use. At the same time, he also began to make official kiln porcelain and sent it to the inner court. If I read correctly, this set of tea sets was an old item from the Central Continental Period of the Former Yuan Dynasty!"

As he said that, he picked up a teacup and continued, "Although the blue and white porcelain of the pre-Yuan Yuan was somewhat uneven in color, these pieces were obviously treasured. In the past dynasties before the Yuan Dynasty, porcelain was simple and beautiful. First, the scholars and officials liked minimalism, and second, there were not many dyes!"

"But the Mongols of the Yuan Dynasty swept the world, and the so-called sunrise places were all pastures of the Yuan Dynasty. Therefore, blue and white porcelain and paintings came into being. Just by beauty, they have their own advantages and Ru kilns. But they are even more pleasing to the eye and continuous poetry!"

"The fuck..." Hu Guan was stunned and said to himself, "Are you the fucking teasing me? Go to my house to talk about porcelain?"

Li Fangying couldn't put down her teacup, "This is definitely priceless when put on the market!"

"My brother is well-versed in ancient times and present, and I admire him!" Hu Guan said with a smile.

"I dare not take it as your praise, but I saw it a lot when I was a child!" Li Fangying smiled proudly, "Shangdu City was breached by our old man back then. When I was a child, there were so many Yuan blue and white flowers in my family. Where did I pick up urine!"

"The fuck..." For the first time in his life, Hu Guan had the urge to hit someone.

But he still held back and asked, "Brother, aren't you going to be confined at home?"

"I haven't come home yet!" Li Fangying said mysteriously.

"Then you..." Hu Guan was puzzled.

"I can come out because the emperor's kindness is so great!" Li Fangying bowed to the sky, "I have to go to the palace to thank you!"

"The emperor didn't say it, no..."

"The emperor said it was the emperor!" Li Fangying said seriously, "But we are ministers, don't you know if you don't go and thank you? No matter whether the emperor sees you or not, you will be considered sincere. If you ignore the emperor's kindness, wouldn't you be ungrateful?"

"you....."

Hu Guan's eyelids moved and cursed in his heart, "You and your elder brother are really a father who sneaks out, a jb-smell!"

At this moment, Li Fangying smiled, "Brother Hu, don't worry, come to your house, I have also asked the emperor for approval." As he said, he smiled, "If I violate the order privately and make me so much, I will not implicate you? Although I am not very smart, I have no bad intentions, right?"

"This, haha!" Hu Guan smiled, "Drink tea! Drink tea!"

"Drink tea later!" Li Fangying looked around and said, "Talk about the important matter first!"

Hu Guan immediately became energetic, "What do you mean by a virtuous brother? But can't you say it to outsiders?"

Li Fangying didn't say anything, but pulled out a thick roll from her sleeve, with some ragged silver notes placed on the table.

"There are our Royal Money Houses in the Ming Dynasty, the number of Suzhou Hengtong, the number of Shanxi Guangshengheng, and the number of Yangzhou Sihai Money Houses in the silver notes that are redeemed if you see the tickets in your name and are fully exchanged!" Li Fangying said, "Seventy thousand, do you dial it?"

Suddenly, Hu Guan slighted back.

With a straight face, "What do you mean?"

The amount of this money is the same as the fine he is about to pay.

Moreover, looking at Li Fangying's eyes, he wanted to pay a fine for Hu Guan.

"I know your house is not affordable, so the money..." Li Fangying pushed the silver note forward, "You, don't refuse. I'm honest, this is not my idea, it was my elder brother's repeated instructions before leaving."

"He prepared 100,000 at the beginning, but now it seems that he can't use these!" Li Fangying smiled, "My elder brother said, you have suffered a disaster because of me. If I hadn't known the world, Fu Zhong wouldn't have come to you and brought you into this muddy water!"

"It's reasonable and reasonable, my family should pay for the money. Moreover, just paying money is not enough to express my apology!" Li Fangying continued, "Brother Hu, please dot!"

"You... are making a fool of yourself!" Hu Guan said angrily, "Who do you think of Hu as?"

He said this, but his heart was full of vigilance.

It is not a good thing to show your kindness without any trouble. The relationship between Duke Cao and his family is so good, and 70,000 silver is not a decimal. Besides, Hu Guan’s special identity is so important that he must be extra vigilant about these things.

At the same time, he was also deeply confused.

"Why did Li Jinglong think that the emperor would be fined? He also thought that I could be safe and sound?"

Immediately, without waiting for Li Fangying to speak, he asked, "Brother, do you mean your elder brother had expected it long ago?"

"No!" Li Fangying smiled, "Actually, I've long been..." As he said that, he pointed his hand into the sky, "I'm a death sentence, but I can't escape the crime of living, hehe! My elder brother also said that others can't come out of this matter, but Brother Hu, you will definitely turn bad luck into good luck!"

Hu Guan frowned, "Why?"

"Because you are the favorite minister of the Long Sui Master!" Li Fangying blinked, "My elder brother said, Long Sui Master is particularly tolerant of the favorite minister. Even if he made a mistake in the beginning, as long as we are loyal and filial, some bumps will be temporary. As long as the holy relatives do not diminish, the situation will surely rise in the future!"

"My elder brother also said, if you don't want this money, can't you pay it back as if you lend it to you? If you have it, pay it back, even if you don't have it, my elder brother also said that 70,000 taels of silver is a sky-high price, but 70,000 taels of silver are handed over..."

As he said that, he suddenly shut up because he realized that he seemed to have said too much.

If Li Jinglong was present, he would be pissed to death.

Because many of the words Li Fangying said were Li Jinglong’s private instructions that he should not speak to outsiders.

"I can't collect the money!" Hu Guan shook his head and said, "It's not justified!" He said, returning the silver notes, "Besides, your brother is fined nearly 200,000 yuan!"

"Hey, that little money... Although it's a damn bad thing to take it out, it won't be poor!" Li Fangying smiled proudly, "Brother Hu, don't be angry, we still have a foundation!"

Suddenly, Hu Guan became curious again.

He narrowed his eyes and said, "I heard from my brother that this aroused many doubts in my heart! You said, you and Duke Cao have separated and have not seen you for many years..., right? Where did you get so much money?"

"Hehe, how can you tell me about making money..." Li Fangying said, quickly changing her mouth, "Actually, when I split up, I have more!"

As he said that, he took a sip of tea and continued, "What official position is our old man at the time? Do you still have the impression of Brother Hu?"

Hu Guan thought about it, the Grand Governor of the Five Army Governor's Office, also the Imperial College, and the Pingzhangshi of Zhejiang Province...

Too many, I can't even think about it.

Li Fangying, who was not only his status among military officials, but also his scholars in the Imperial College were under control. Later, when the old man transferred Xu Da, he became Xu Da's right prime minister.

"My old man was back then!" Li Fangying continued to laugh, "I'm still in charge of the capital's tax supervision!"

In this way, Hu Guan suddenly realized.

The taxes in Yingtianfu, the capital city, were directly subordinated to the royal family.

People entering and leaving the city gates, goods, and taxes on the canal Yangtze River checkpoints are all under the jurisdiction of Li Wenzhong.

That is a treasure pot that can make money every day, and Li Wenzhong is the old man's nephew, so he can't be considered corruption if he saves money.

My grandson is my grandmother’s dog. I will leave after eating! It’s all done!

"So, my family has never lacked money!" Li Fangying returned the silver notes and said in a low voice, "Besides, this is what Master Long live to mean!"
