Today he showed off his move. On the surface, he seemed to have high hopes for Li Ran, but in reality?
In front of Ji Wang and Ji Xun, how dare he, Li Ran, directly agree to it?
Is this in compliance with the rules? No.
Is this common sense? No.
To put it bluntly, this is just another test by Ji Xian to test whether Li Ran really has any second thoughts about Ji Xian.
Li Ran knew this very well, so how could he let Ji Xian seriously trick him into it? So, he immediately refused with stern words. His words were also flawless.
Hearing what Li Ran said, Ji Xian finally felt relieved, and a trace of relief gradually appeared on his face.
"Haha, as the saying goes, 'A house that accumulates good deeds will always be blessed.' It seems that my family's blessings are indeed endless."
Ji Zeng and Ji Xun, who had been standing aside, couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief when they saw this. But they didn't know whether they felt relieved for Li Ran or for themselves.
As for the ritual music, she always seemed a little surprised.
Because she didn't understand the purpose of her father and two brothers coming here today?
However, seeing that the family was enjoying themselves happily, I immediately suppressed my confusion.
The two returned to the other courtyard. Li Ran wiped the sweat from his forehead and couldn't help but said: Fortunately, he was clever, otherwise he would have been led into a ditch by this old guy today.
Seeing his strange expression, Ji Le asked immediately:
"Husband, why do you look so nervous?"
When Li Ran heard this, he knew that it was inappropriate to talk to Ji Le about this matter, so he just said a few perfunctory sentences.
After all, they are biological father and daughter, so naturally it is better not to say something too explicit, lest the two of them feel bad.
……
After Ji Xian received Li Ran's clear statement, he immediately appointed Li Ran as the head of Ji's family at the clan meeting, taking over the property left by Shu Niu, as well as Ji's affairs inside and outside Zhengyi City. p>
Obviously, there must be Zichan behind this. The temptation before Ji Xian was more out of the protection of his own family interests.
Now it is equivalent to handing over all of Ji's family fortune to Li Ran. Although it only accounts for roughly half, it is really very impressive.
In particular, Li Ran now holds many positions. He is a traveler of the Zheng State, and now he has become the head of the Ji family. It is obvious that he, who has been involved in both political and business circles, is now able to do both.
It’s talkative.
However, the business activities of the Ji family in and outside Zhengyi City are quite complicated and have many names. If they were to rush into them all, I am afraid that I would be unable to do all the work.
However, fortunately, Ji Le is more familiar with his own business and is more attentive to it after all. And these days, Li Ran's servant Owl Yi has been helping Li Ran with the various businesses entrusted to him by Ji Le.
Since then, it’s quite easy to take over the big market business now.
Therefore, with Ji Le and Owl Wings taking care of the housework together, Li Ran can naturally put his time and energy elsewhere.
After Li Ran and the others tidied up the large stall left by Shu Niu and arranged the people in charge, it was already April.
On this day, Li Ran was drinking tea alone in the mansion, and Sun Wu entered the mansion from outside, with a trace of joy on his face.
"How? Everything is done?"
Li Ran asked.
"Sir, everything is ready."
"It's just that the number of people is a bit shabby."
It turned out that since the last Zheng Yi poisoning incident, Li Ran had ordered Sun Wu to secretly recruit warriors to build his own guard force.
Nowadays, as the scale of the clan sacrifice industry he took over is getting bigger and bigger, his wealth is naturally getting richer and richer. Today, this guard force has nearly a thousand people.
If this were placed among ordinary wealthy families, with nearly a thousand military guards, looking at all the capitals, it would already be considered "huge".
But in Sun Wu's eyes, this person is really not enough.
After all, he was a general who had commanded the armies of Ju and Zhu. Just like Han Xin ordered his troops, the more the better.
"These people will be the capital for our survival in the future. Although the number can be smaller, we must be good!"
"Now that the recruitment is complete, the future training will be left to you."
"Remember, you must be cautious about this matter. The fewer people who know about it, the better. If you are too ostentatious, you may be caught out."
After all, this is the first armed force dedicated to Li Ran. In this turbulent Zhengyi, he must be cautious.
Sun Wu had a lot of experience in this way, so he immediately accepted the order.
And Li Ran couldn't help but stretch, stood up and entered the house:
"Le'er, there's nothing to do lately, why don't we go have some fun outside the city?"
Ji Le was busy in the house at this time, but he said angrily:
"My husband is really an idle palace official now. He only cares about drinking tea in the courtyard, but he doesn't see Le'er still busy?"
When Li Ran heard this, he only smiled slightly, stepped forward and hugged Ji Le's neck, and whispered:
"Yes, who made my husband marry the most virtuous wife in the world? I am so lucky for my husband, so lucky!"
Hearing what Li Ran said, Ji Le lost his temper in an instant, and just said to Li Ran as if to comfort a child:
"Okay, okay, since my husband intends to go outside to relax, how dare Le'er disobey?"
So, the two of them made preparations, called their attendants, and headed to the countryside together.
……
In late spring, there is a splendid scene outside the city, with picturesque flowers and illusory mountains and rivers. Isn’t it a great joy in life to be able to be in such a world?
"Let's go to the manor ahead and rest for a while."
After playing for a while, Ji Le took Li Ran to Ji's manor outside Zhengyi City.
As soon as Li Ran entered it, he discovered that there was a large green grassland behind the manor, and directly south of the green grassland was the official road leading directly to Chu State. In addition, it was only half a day's journey from Zhengyi, so the geographical location was very good.
The privilege.
It can also be seen from this that the Ji family was so wealthy that they were able to build such a huge manor in such a place.
"Huh? Wouldn't it be great if we could build a golf course on such a large piece of green grass?"
When Li Ran saw this lush green grassland, he suddenly became interested.
"Golf? What is that?"
Ji Le raised his little head and asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"You'll know tomorrow."
Unexpectedly, Li Ran reached out and scratched the tip of her nose, and immediately gave her a mysterious smile.
He just went ahead and based on the memory in his mind, he sent people to level the large piece of grass. He quickly selected a few corners, which after leveling could be used as the location of the green. Then he
He asked his servant to cut black bamboo from a hillside not far away, and after his skillful weaving, several large fences suddenly appeared around the green grassland.
Then, he used heavier poplar wood to make the shape of the club, and planned several more tortuous routes to divide the entire green grassland into several pieces.
After two or three busy days, a golf course was actually completed during the Spring and Autumn Period!
But just when he was about to show off his old skills, he realized that he had overlooked the most crucial thing.
The course is there, the clubs are there, and the holes are ready, but what about the ball?
So, he hurriedly found various materials. The cloth bag was too light, the copper one was too heavy, and the stones were too irregular and broke when knocked.
Only in the end did he remember that golf balls are made of rubber... But looking at the entire land of China, where do the rubber trees come from?
