Chapter 875 No distinction between concubine and concubine
Giving birth to a baby is a happy event, human reproduction is serious and grand, and it is also a good opportunity to receive gifts and make a fortune.
Li Qinzai had gained a lot today. None of the guests came empty-handed. Behind each of them was a team of servants carrying gift baskets, and all kinds of valuable things were constantly being moved into the warehouse.
To the blessing of Prince Teng's father-in-law, Li Qinzai has been under a bit of financial pressure recently. He has been unable to come up with the 20,000 yuan he promised to build Prince Teng's Pavilion, so it is being delayed.
Giving birth to a baby this time has relieved a lot of pressure. Li Qinzai made some estimates and found that he could give Prince Teng an explanation.
It doesn’t matter if you really can’t get it together. That guy Xue Na has recently become the domineering president of Zongheng Shopping Mall. It’s not a big problem to get a little turnover from him. Seeing that winter is coming soon, it’s almost time to divide the Xu family’s ice sales this year...
After thinking about it for a long time, Li Qinzai breathed a sigh of relief and began to consider whether to open a new business. He had just given birth to a baby and had a baby in the family. There were so many mouths in the family waiting to be fed. It was very stressful to support the family.
Why not just sell health care products? Make flour pills with some ginseng, deer antlers, and Ganoderma lucidum in them. It won’t cure the disease and won’t kill people if you eat them. It’s claimed to be dirt rubbed from Taishang Laojun’s body. Mortals who eat it will prolong their lives and gain early health.
Bliss...
His mind was a little confused, and while the guests in the hall were enjoying themselves, Li Qinzai was distracted.
After a long time, he suddenly felt his sleeve being pulled by someone. Li Qinzai turned around and found that it was Shangguan Yi.
Even though he was so old, he still winked at him mischievously. That look, those facial features... Such a vulgar look, it is hard to imagine that he was a ruthless figure who struggled with Empress Wu in history.
Shangguan Yi gestured toward the door, Li Qinzai understood, and they walked out of the front hall and came to the corridor on the east side of the yard.
"Grandpa Shangguan, what are you..."
Shangguan Yi stroked his beard and smiled, and said: "First of all, congratulations to Jingchu on Lin'er. I heard the good news last night, so I prepared a small gift and sent it over overnight..."
Li Qinzai hurriedly bowed to thank him.
Shangguan Yi waved his hand and said: "The people in the front hall are too talkative and difficult to talk to. I have something I want to talk to you about."
"Grandpa Shangguan, whatever you tell me, I will obey."
Shangguan Yi stroked his beard and smiled: "At the beginning of the year, I told you that a girl was born at home, and she wanted to marry Jing Chu. It has been almost a year, and the girl at home has grown up a lot.
The marriage between our two families has not progressed. I can't bear my temper and want to ask Jingchu what he means."
Li Qinzai understood, quickly glanced in the direction of the front hall, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Shangguan is willing to marry me. It is of course my honor. However, my children and grandchildren are still young. If they don't get along with each other when they grow up, they won't be able to get along with each other."
, it seems that the elders harmed them..."
Shangguan Yi's eyes widened: "Who is discordant? Who dares to be discordant? Apart from anything else, my girl has a very good temper. Although she is only one year old, she already looks gentle and virtuous. She has a good husband and a prosperous family.
The appearance.”
Li Qinzai was stunned. How could a one-year-old girl be able to tell so much from her appearance?
If Datang had a market bureau, Shangguan Yi would have to be invited in for tea because he was suspected of false advertising and spreading false information about products...
"Well, what Grandpa Shangguan means is my granddaughter Qiao'er and your granddaughter..."
Shangguan Yi's eyes flashed slightly, and he subconsciously glanced towards the front hall without saying a word.
Li Qinzai understood what he meant instantly.
Shangguan Yi changed his mind. Of course he still wanted to get married, but he wanted to get married to Li Qinzai's newly born legitimate son.
As for the reason, do you still have to guess?
After all, Qiao'er was a concubine. Not only could he not inherit the family business, he could not inherit Li Qinzai's title. The reason why Shangguan Yi revealed his intention to get married was because Li Qinzai only had Qiao'er at the time, and Shangguanyi was anxious to have a relationship with Li Qinzai.
Now that the legitimate son is born, Shangguan Yi certainly has a better choice. Besides, the age difference between Shangguan Yi's granddaughter and Li Qinzai's legitimate son is only one year, so the two seem more suitable to be married.
Li Qinzai was a little unhappy.
Why, my family has always made no distinction between direct descendants and concubines, but you, an outsider, are picky and picky about my family, why would you care about getting married to me?
What about Shangguan Wan'er? In a few years, when Shangguan Yi retires and becomes an official, who else in your Shangguan family will step up to support the family business?
My buckwheat family is more than enough to match your Shangguan family, which is about to decline. Is it your turn to choose?
So Li Qinzai laughed and said with a smile: "Grandpa Shangguan, the children are still young. It's too early to decide on life-long events. I'm a little worried. My dog is naughty and rude. I'm afraid he is not worthy of your granddaughter. Now
It was just a joke."
Shangguan Yi was stunned. Li Qinzai suddenly changed his tone, which caught him off guard.
In the past, when talking about the marriage of his children, Li Qinzai was vague and refused to respond directly, but now Li Qinzai's words clearly meant rejection.
After all, Shangguan Yi is a cunning old fox. He immediately began to reflect on what he said wrongly, and then quickly realized that his attitude just now had obviously slighted the Li family's concubine, which made Li Qinzai angry.
After introspection, Shangguan Yi immediately made up for the situation, pulled Li Qinzai and smiled bitterly: "Jing Chu is really... too thoughtful, and misunderstood what I meant."
"I didn't say anything. My heart has always been for your Qiao'er. Judging from Qiao'er's handsome and handsome appearance, he is a perfect match for my Wan'er. Jingchu can't go back on what he said a long time ago.
"
Li Qinzai smiled faintly: "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. As elders, we don't want to interfere too much. It's better to wait until the two children grow up and interact more to see if their temperaments are compatible with each other before deciding whether to get married. What does Grandpa Shangguan think?
?”
Shangguan Yi smiled helplessly and said: "I really don't have any other intentions, Jingchu... that's all, you and I will leave an explanation and we will talk about it when the two of us are older."
…………
Guests come and go quickly, like a tornado of love.
After the usual feast, the guests left one after another, leaving the front hall in a mess.
Peace has returned to the Li family courtyard, and the family continues to live a peaceful life.
Li Qinzai is still a little busy, so he doesn't need to worry too much about serving Cui Jie during her confinement period. However, the lectures in the school cannot be neglected, and the scientific examination and marking are also an important task.
So Li Qinzai was busy in both directions in the following days. Although he just wanted to make a salted fish, Li Qinzai felt inexplicably like being thrown into a frying pan and deep-fried until both sides were golden.
Li Zhi adopted Li Qinzai's advice and not only adopted a nameless system for marking, but also used cross-marking by several officials. Each test paper had to go through the hands of at least four officials. This greatly avoided favoritism and mistakes.
Allowing real talent to be discovered without surprise.
After grading for five days, Li Qinzai breathed a sigh of relief.
The gold list has been decided and talents have emerged.
