The boy agreed in a low voice, quietly stepped back a few steps, then mounted his horse and went straight to Prince Liang's Mansion to look for Nanning.

Luo Yan welcomed the two people in. Li Xiaoyao was listening attentively to a little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old singing slowly. When he saw the two people coming in, he didn't get up. While eating melon seeds, he gestured for the two of them to sit down.

Lu Feng had long been used to it. He jumped on the couch and sat down. He pinched a few melon seeds and tasted them. He nodded with satisfaction and asked Luo Yan to make him a cup of good wine. Ming Qian came: "Bring your girl back."

Make me a cup tomorrow! Make a cup for Mr. Shui too." After giving the order, he turned to look at Shui Yan and said with a smile: "Try what the real Mingqian is. To be honest, Xiaowu's Mingqian is no worse than mine.

, those tributes you have, hehe, you will know after you taste them, those tributes are definitely not from Mingqian, but from Guyuhou!"

Shui Yan measured the seats and did not dare to squeeze onto the couch as carelessly as Lu Feng did. He leaned against Lu Feng and sat down on the armchair in front of the couch.

Li Xiaoyao listened to the little girl finish singing the song, put down the melon seeds in his hand, looked at Shui Yan and said with a smile: "You came back this morning? This trip was the hardest for you."

"Thank you, Fifth Master. With Second Master Wei helping with the cooking, it's much easier." Shui Yan said politely with a smile.

Li Xiaoyao pursed his lips and smiled, looked at Luo Yan and ordered: "Second Master Shui likes to drink scented tea. Make a cup of your new chrysanthemum tea and bring it over, and bring some dishes of exquisite snacks. Second Master Shui is a refined and elegant person. If

Don't let this tea or food get into the eyes of Second Master Shui. Next time, Second Master Shui won't come."

Luo Yan agreed with a smile and went down to watch the tea being made and snacks prepared.

Lu Feng pointed at Shui Yan and smiled: "You are more respectable than me. I have been here so many times, but Xiao Wu has never treated me like this!"

Li Xiaoyao ignored him, only looked at Shui Yan and asked, "Shui Yan will be stationed on Huainan Road?"

"Yes, my eldest brother and I both mean this. The business on Huainan Road cannot allow any more mistakes. Shuidi will come back during the Spring Festival. When he goes, he will bring his family members with him to compete for the bid..."

"Don't mention this, it's over." Li Xiaoyao interrupted Shui Yan and said with a smile: "If this is the case, I still want to ask you for help. Can you ask Tongda/Grandma to follow me to Huainan Road?"

Shui Yan looked at Li Xiaoyao in surprise and confusion. Li Xiaoyao pursed his lips and explained with a smile: "Tongda/grandma has been in charge of the Salesian Bureau this year and has done an excellent job. She has also established the Salesian Bureau."

Here are the rules. What I mean is that the Salesian Bureau in Kaiping Prefecture should be left in charge of Shui Lian first. Grandma Tong will follow me to Huainan Road next spring to start the Salesian Bureau on Huainan Road."

Shui Yan was even more surprised. He was stunned for a moment before he realized what he was doing. He smiled quickly and said, "This money? Does Fifth Master have a source?"

"Well, to make those merchants happy to lose, the merchants at Yuanfeng Guild Hall in Liangdi are ready to take out 20% of their profits every year. I will try to discuss it with them when I go back to Huainan Road." Li Xiaoyao said with a smile.

Shui Yan took a deep breath, his mind was spinning very fast, and he said with a smile: "It is indeed the fifth master. I don't know how much money this alone makes in a year. I think it's good. I will discuss it with my eldest brother when I go back later.

My eldest uncle suffered from dizziness a while ago, and now he doesn’t take things seriously anymore. My eldest brother and I agreed to give a reply to the fifth master, well, if Yuanfeng Pavilion gives out 20% of the profits every year, we will also take it from now on.

Give me 20%, and I’ll go back and discuss it with my eldest brother.”

Lu Feng looked at the two people talking with some boredom. When Shui Yan said this, he looked at Li Xiaoyao and smiled and said: "Yuanfeng Pavilion has obtained the 60% liquor license of Huainan Road, not counting the others. This alone, the two

How much is the profit? For those four tea mountains in Shuijiaguang, a 20% profit is incredible. Xiao Wu, the Salesian Bureau cannot ask for that much money."

"Why can't I have it? I'm just worried about not having money, but I don't have to worry about having a lot of money. In addition to the things that the Salesian Bureau is doing now, if I have extra money, I can run charity schools, build roads and canals, how much money can't be used?" Li Xiao said

Yao answered Lu Feng's words, but looked at Shui Yan.

Shui Yan thought for a while, looked at Li Xiaoyao and said with a smile: "This money was raised by Master Wu. I don't think it needs to be classified under the name of the Salesian Bureau. After all, the Salesian Bureau is classified under the government, which is somewhat unnecessary."

It is better for the fifth master to come forward and set up a charity hall."

"No, kindness must come from above. The Salesian Bureau cannot be said to be controlling or not, and the money is not given by the imperial court. All you need to do is find a trustworthy person to use the money." Li Xiaoyao thought for a while and said with a smile.

.

Shui Yan looked at Li Xiaoyao and nodded in agreement without saying more.

While he was talking, Luo Yan led someone to bring a food box and put a few hot and cold snacks on it. Li Xiaoyao ordered a bowl of lotus seed tea to drink, and ordered to watch the half-lined drama performance.

……………………

With a gloomy face, Su Zicheng followed Nanning to the door of Green Cuiyuan and got off his horse. Nanning went up and knocked on the door, and a woman stuck her head out.

Nanning smiled politely and said, "Is the Fifth Master in there?"

The mother-in-law looked Nanning up and down and said with a smile: "Master, this courtyard is full of girls. There is no master here. You must have come to the wrong place."

"Is Miss Luoyan here?" Nanning hurriedly stretched out her hand to push the door open and said with a smile.

The mother-in-law nodded repeatedly: "That's our hostess, who are you?"

"My name is Nanning. Just ask Nanning to accompany me to see the girl." Nanning replied.

The mother-in-law repeated: "Then you wait outside first." After saying that, she closed the door and went all the way in.

Su Zicheng had a cold face and turned around to look around. Opposite was Wazi, and there was no serious person next to him. What was she doing here?

The mother-in-law went in and found Luo Yan. Luo Yan was startled and said, "Nanning is with me!" Is that the man here?

Luo Yan told her mother-in-law to wait, and hurriedly turned around and came in. She walked to the couch in a few steps, leaned down next to Li Xiaoyao and whispered.

Li Xiaoyao frowned irritably, remained silent for a moment, turned to look at Luo Yan and said, "Go and tell him that the girl has been tired for half a year and needs to take a good rest now. She won't see anyone."

Luo Yan choked, blinked several times, and asked her to say this to the prince who couldn't laugh! Luo Yan walked to the door, gritted his teeth, and ordered Jin Huan to follow her, and went to the gate with her mother-in-law.

.

Shui Yan paid attention to Li Xiaoyao and Luo Yan. Seeing Luo Yan go out, he smiled a little guilty and asked, "Is someone here again?"

"Yeah," Li Xiaoyao responded absently.

Lu Feng only listened to the song and didn't hear Shui Yan's question at all.

Shui Yan paused, then asked with a smile: "Who has such long legs? How could he find it here?"

Li Xiaoyao turned his head and glanced at him, and said with a half-smile: "Lu Feng brought you here, you brought the prince here, one by one."

Shui Yan coughed violently and looked around with embarrassment.

……………………

Luo Yan rushed along the verandah to the gate, stood under the gate, raised his hand and stroked his chest, took a few deep breaths, and signaled his mother-in-law to open the door.

Su Zicheng was standing in front of the door with his hands behind his back. When he saw the door opened, he raised his feet and was about to rush in.

Luo Yan was so frightened that she hurriedly opened her arms to stop her and shouted: "Your Majesty! The girl is missing!"

Su Zicheng raised his feet in the air, then dropped them back abruptly. The corners of his eyes twitched, and he squinted slightly, staring at Luo Yan sinisterly.

Luo Yan was so cold that he stared at her, so she held on and said quickly: "The girl said that she has been tired for more than half a year. She needs to have a good rest without seeing anyone! Please come back, Your Majesty!" After that, he closed his mouth tightly.

, looked at Su Zicheng nervously.

Su Zicheng had no expression on his face, looking past the falling geese towards the brightly colored courtyard with its carved beams and painted pillars.

Leader Luoyan stood there for who knows how long, as if it was the end of the world, before he saw Su Zicheng suddenly turned around and walked down the steps.

The mother-in-law closed the door very neatly with her hands and feet, but Luo Yan still stood upright with her arms spread out.

Jin Huan hurriedly stepped forward and pulled her: "Girl, the prince is gone."

Luoyan made several "gurgling" noises in his throat, and when his body went limp, he was about to slump down and sit down.

Jin Huan and his mother-in-law hurriedly held her, and the sweat on Luoyan's forehead seeped out like a floodgate. He took a long breath and finally regained his breath: "Oh my god! I was scared to death! Lift me...

Go in! My feet are weak and I can’t move."

Jin Huan wanted to laugh but didn't dare, so he hurriedly asked his mother-in-law to find someone to carry the soft bag over, put Luo Yan on the soft bag and carried her back.

Luo Yan drank several cups of tea in the side hall to regain his breath before coming in to report.

Li Xiaoyao said "hmm" casually and didn't take it to heart.

Shui Yan was a little restless, holding the cup, looking at Li Xiaoyao who didn't take it seriously at all, and then at Lu Feng who probably didn't notice that Su Zicheng was rejected at all, and kept looking outside.

With that man's temper, if... he rushed in... and saw himself sitting here... Shui Yan trembled in his heart and became even more restless.

Luo Yan had already regained his breath, and looked at Shui Yan who was fidgeting inexplicably. He hesitated, then lightly poked Li Xiaoyao. When he saw Li Xiaoyao looking up at him, he hurriedly signaled Shui Yan with his eyes.

Li Xiaoyao turned to look at Shui Yan who was restless, raised the corner of his mouth, picked up the cup, slowly drank a few sips of tea, and said with a smile: "Second Master Shui just came back this morning, the family must be thinking about him.

It's better to go back first, since the gate of Green Cuiyuan is open to you anyway, you can come whenever you want."

Shui Yan breathed a long sigh of relief and was not polite. He stood up and bowed his head to say goodbye. He then lowered his feet halfway and then turned to look at Li Xiaoyao.

Before he could speak, Li Xiaoyao looked at Luo Yan and said with a smile: "Send the second master out through the back corner door. That end is close to the second master's house, so there is no need to go around to the gate."

Luo Yan pursed his lips and agreed with a smile. Shui Yan let out a long sigh of relief, bowed his head with a smile and finally thanked him.

Lu Feng stretched out his hand to hold him and shouted: "It's still early, why are you going back now? Don't worry, if Su Er dares to break in, I will be there!"

Shui Yan was choked by his words and was speechless. Li Xiaoyao looked at Lu Feng calmly and asked, "Can you and Xiu Yun knock your junior uncle down?"

"How can you use the masses to bully the few? This is unethical." Lu Feng immediately let go of Shui Yan, and while asking someone to add water to make tea, he looked around and said: "Speaking of Senior Sister Xiuyun, what do you think? You guys are following Xiuyun these days.
