In the afternoon of the next day, thinking that his father was about to arrive, Li Wenliang went to Guoxiang and picked up his father Li Shikuan.
Li Wenliang got into the car, but before he could sit firmly, Li Shikuan asked: "What happened to the scholar's family?"
"I have to ask my father for details about this matter." Li Wenliang moved closer to Li Shikuan and lowered his voice.
"The scholar family has partnered with the Zhang family who owns a warehouse next door. They have rented a workshop outside the city and have started pickling preserved and salted eggs. They said they are planning to open a shop to sell preserved and salted eggs."
Li Shikuan raised his eyebrows in surprise. He thought about countless possibilities along the way, but he never thought of this.
"I asked Jin Zhu, and Jin Zhu said that he is in partnership with Sister-in-law Yin, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhang family. He said that Sister-in-law Yin's natal family is in Gaoyou, and she runs a preserved egg and salted egg shop. The Yin family is famous. There is indeed a Yin family in Gaoyou.
Both preserved eggs and salted eggs are excellent.
"The partnership capital and profit of Mr. Xiucai and Sister-in-law Yin are both 60% and 40%..."
Li Wenliang explained in detail the details of the partnership between the Li Jinzhu sisters and Sister-in-law Yin.
Li Shikuan listened attentively, frowned and asked: "We made 60% of the cost of eggs. How many eggs do we get? Where do these many eggs come from?"
"I think what the old man of the Hong family said about the scholar's family is just a matter of where the eggs came from." Li Wenliang lowered his voice and stretched his head forward, "I didn't dare to ask the neighbors, so I came here
I asked about the framing shop diagonally opposite the entrance of Cai Lian Alley.
"The clerk at that shop said that when the eggs were delivered for the first time, it was so rare that they all went to watch the excitement. They said that the trough was full of eggs, stacked high, and they said it was delivered by a young man in rich clothes.
The past."
Li Shikuan was even more surprised.
"The guy said that the day before yesterday, he saw the young master in golden clothes again. It turned out that the young master was not a young master, but a young man. He said that there was a very tall and very good-looking man. He was talking to the newly moved scholar at the entrance of the alley.
Two sisters from the public family are talking.
"It's Yinzhu and A'nan. Jinzhu and Yuzhu have been in the workshop all day long."
"Tell me more about that man!" Li Shikuan's voice was urgent.
"It is said that he brought about twenty followers, all of them were dressed in brocade clothes, and each had a horse. He said that the horses were all tall and very handsome. When the man was talking to Yinzhu and A'nan, those
The man led the horse and stood by the street. It was very quiet. The horse was also quiet and made no sound.
"Furthermore, the man is good-looking and has great bearing. He looks very good-looking when he smiles, and he is very majestic when he doesn't smile.
"From what I've heard from Jin Zhu, it sounds like Jin Zhu doesn't know about the matter of Yin Zhu and Ah Nan talking to this man. That's all."
Li Shikuan breathed out slowly, leaned back on the carriage board, sorted it out carefully, looked at his son and said: "Yesterday you suddenly handed over the Hong family's request to marry Yin Zhu. I thought, it's from the scholar's family."
This thing can only be a good thing, and this good thing was seen by that old man from the Hong family.
"All in all, Mrs. Hong must have arrived in Pingjiang City the day before yesterday. Mrs. Hong must have seen Yinzhu and Ah Nan talking to that man." Li Shikuan was silent for a moment and narrowed his eyes slightly, "It seems that who is this man?
, Mr. Hong had already guessed that the man must be looking for Ah Nan, so he asked to marry Yin Zhu.
"Go to the Hong family first." Li Shikuan's voice rose.
"That child A'nan seems to be very smart." Li Wenliang paused, leaned forward, and whispered to Li Shikuan: "Tell me, could the thing that Li Wencai reported be..." p>
"Hmm..." Li Shikuan suddenly froze in the middle of humming. His eyes widened little by little, and he was stunned for a moment before he exhaled sharply.
"Dad!" Li Wenliang was frightened.
"On the day the county magistrate heard the case, there was a man who was very tall and wearing a black gauze hat. He was also like this. He was very unusual in both men and horses." Li Shikuan's extremely low voice was full of excitement. p>
"This is..."
"Silence! Why are you so hopeless!" Li Shikuan glared at his eldest son.
"Dad!" Li Wenliang's voice trembled slightly, "This, this, will it be a disaster? This..."
"Don't be afraid." Li Shikuan said, "Don't be afraid." But his face turned slightly pale, and he pursed his lips tightly. After a moment, he snorted and said, "It's okay! Mr. Hong is more knowledgeable and smarter than us.
If there are too many, he will not shrink back, but reach forward! Don’t be afraid!”
Don’t be afraid of this one, Li Shikuan has already gained confidence.
"It's enough for us and my husband to know about this matter. There's no need to tell your wife. It's better that she doesn't know than she does."
Li Shikuan raised the curtain and saw that he had entered Pingjiang City. He motioned to his eldest son, "Please show me the way. I will go to the Hong family alone. You go and pick out a few gifts and wait for me at Cai Lian Lane. We have to go to the Zhang family for a visit."
See you."
"Okay." Li Wenliang agreed, told the driver how to get to the Hong family, jumped out of the car, and hurried to buy gifts.
When Li Jinzhu and Li Yuzhu returned to Cailian Lane exhausted, Li Shikuan and Li Wenliang were sitting in the main room, chatting and laughing with Li Xuedong. Li Yinzhu was squatting in the light of the kitchen door washing Li Xuedong's gown, and Li Xiaonan was squatting next to him, asking him
Ji watched Li Yinzhu washing clothes.
Hearing the commotion, Li Yinzhu jumped up and rushed forward, "Big Sister, Big Sister! The hall is here! The uncle said that he will wait for you to come back to order noodles for dinner!"
Li Xiaonan followed behind, but before she could say anything, Li Wenliang had already come out of the main room to welcome her, "Jin Zhu is back. Come in and rest quickly. I'll ask them to bring the banquet."
Li Jinzhu and Li Yuzhu went into the main room to greet Li Shikuan, washed their faces in the yard, and went into the house to change their work clothes. When they came out again, Li Wenliang was followed by two boys who had already returned.
The two waiters placed some cold dishes, and then another waiter came over with hot dishes, soup and dumplings.
"Jinzhu and Yuzhu have been tired for a day, let's eat first." Li Shikuan sat down and greeted with a smile.
Li Xiaonan sat at the bottom, facing Li Shikuan, grabbing her chopsticks and looking at the hot and cold dishes on the table.
This is her first time eating restaurant food here, and they all look very good!
Li Shikuan picked up a few dumplings, filled up a ladle of ham soup with mushrooms and bamboo shoots, ate slowly, and looked at Li Xiaonan opposite him calmly.
Li Xiaonan looked at it once and stretched out her chopsticks towards the Biluo shrimp.
Li Shikuan looked at Li Yinzhu, who was picking up a large piece of braised meat with chopsticks, and couldn't help but smile.
