"This is unreasonable, it really is unreasonable!" Uncle Ducheng's face turned red, and he stood up from the ground, roaring.
It was as if he wanted to intimidate everyone in Wulinghou Mansion with this gesture.
However, Li Changkong didn't care and just said lightly: "Zhen Jian, didn't you see? Uncle Shi can't afford the money and is in a hurry to return home. Why don't you give Uncle Shi a ride quickly?"
When Zhen Jian heard the words, he immediately understood. He walked up to Uncle Ducheng, stretched out his hand, and said in a neutral tone: "Uncle, please."
However, in the eyes of Uncle Ducheng, this gesture was unspeakably ironic.
He gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Li Changkong, do you really think that this recipe can earn your Li family a lifetime of money?"
"Don't come to beg me when you are desperate."
After uttering harsh words, Uncle Ducheng turned around and left.
He really didn't want to stay in Wulinghou Mansion for even a quarter of an hour anymore, he couldn't afford to lose this person!
Although we are both honorable men, we should not go too far.
But now that the matter has come to this, I am afraid that the Li family and the Qian family have completely fallen out with each other, and there will be no possibility of relaxation in the future.
Seeing Uncle Ducheng leave, Li Changkong sneered.
Naturally, he had never expected to earn a lifetime's worth of money by relying on water chestnut ointment, but he thought it was enough to earn fifty thousand taels.
If Xuanhuju is not enough, there is also Jishitang.
In other words, Li Changkong's goal from the beginning was Ji Shi Tang.
The person behind Xuanhuju was Uncle Ducheng. Li Changkong felt unhappy cooperating with such a person who had a history of rifts.
And as far as he knew, this person was a stingy person, short-sighted, only interested in profit, and was really not a reliable business partner.
If one day, for enough money, I stab you secretly, it is not impossible.
As for Jishitang...
Others didn't know who the owner behind it was, but Li Changkong, as the heir apparent of the Wulinghou Mansion, was very clear in his heart.
Moreover, this boss still has some friendship with his father, so cooperating with this person is the best choice at the moment, both emotionally and rationally.
However, that person has such a high status that even Li Changkong cannot see him at his leisure, so he still has to figure it out slowly.
It didn't take long after Uncle Ducheng left.
Li Zhufeng hurried back in a hurry, as if he had heard about this on the way, so when he came back he was full of evil spirits, and he would kill the uncle of the capital city to express his anger if he said anything wrong.
And there was another person who came back with him.
He is in his fifties, nine feet tall, and has muscles all over his body. Just standing there, he looks like an iron tower, which is intimidating.
It is none other than the Duke of Daqian Ding—Zhang Xun!
There are only a few Dukes of Daqian.
Most of them were hereditary, but Zhang Xun, Duke of Dingguo, was killed alive from the pile of dead.
The only one who was awarded the title of Duke for his military merits, his gold content can be seen clearly.
And he is also the person Li Changkong is looking for.
The owner behind Jishitang!
As for how Li Zhufeng got in touch with Zhang Xun, it's also very simple.
The two are fellow villagers, playmates who grew up spanking each other.
Later, they joined the army together and fought hard on the battlefield.
Zhang Xun has always been Li Zhufeng’s immediate boss.
It wasn't until the two were knighted that the relationship gradually faded away, but the feelings still remained in their hearts.
Zhang Xun would come to the Marquis of Wuling Mansion to have a drink with Li Zhufeng every now and then. Li Changkong was originally going to propose to Zhang Xun at that time that he sell the ointment to Jishitang.
But now...it really takes no effort at all.
As soon as Li Zhufeng returned home and heard the whole story, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He said to Li Changkong: "My son is finally smart for once and was not deceived by that bastard from the capital city."
This sounds like I was stupid before, well, the original person was indeed stupid.
Li Zhufeng looked cheerful, but Zhang Xun didn't look at Li Changkong at all well.
Although my own children are somewhat unreliable, compared with such a prodigal son, they are truly as good as heaven and earth.
Lao Li also had an unfortunate family background, so why did he end up with such a son?
Li Zhufeng noticed Zhang Xun's expression, coughed twice, and said with some embarrassment: "Changkong, Zhang Shibo and I still have something to discuss. Do you think..."
"I also have something to discuss with Zhang Shibo." Li Changkong said.
However, before Li Zhufeng could speak, Zhang Xun said angrily: "What serious business can this bastard have? Let me talk about it after I finish talking to your father."
Well, because the reputation of his predecessor was too "loud", Li Changkong was somewhat unpopular with Li Zhufeng's old brothers.
Fortunately, he did not directly ignore his request. Li Changkong said hello and then returned to the room.
"Changkong, you have changed a lot in recent days, don't talk like this."
"How can I talk if I don't talk like this? Lao Li, Lao Li, I'm not talking about you, do you know the principle of a loving father often losing his son?"
"In my opinion, Changkong's nature may not be that bad. It's just what you're used to being so useless now!"
"Then what can I do? I only have a son who has been frail and sick since he was a child. You don't know why his mother is missing? Do you want me to be more harsh on him?"
Hearing this, Zhang Xun stopped talking.
Li Zhufeng's wife's name is Fan Xin, she is the second daughter of the old Duke Wei, and she can be called the daughter of a general.
It is an existence that can mount a horse and kill the enemy on the battlefield.
At home, she was a beautiful, intelligent, virtuous and virtuous mistress. She managed the huge Wulinghou Mansion in an orderly manner, which was praised by everyone in the world.
It's just..., there are unforeseen circumstances.
When Fan Xin gave birth to Li Changkong, something unexpected happened.
People... gone.
Li Changkong was also affected by this. He has been frail and sickly since he was a child, and he can do some incredible things at every turn.
Probably his brain was damaged when he was born.
This incident is an eternal pain in Li Zhufeng's heart.
Now that the topic has reached this point, even Zhang Xun can't say anything more.
Zhang Xun's silence made the scene awkward for a while. After a long time, Li Zhufeng sighed, with helplessness and bitterness in his tone: "It's not easy for the sky to grow so big."
"I don't expect him to be able to shine on the family lintel. If he succeeds to my lordship in the future, he can live his whole life without any worries."
When Zhang Xun heard this, he could only sigh.
It’s really not easy for the Li family.
…
Li Changkong was waiting around in his private room, not seeing Zhang Xun and Li Zhufeng finish talking, and gradually became impatient.
He simply walked out of the room and went straight to the main hall.
Be prepared to talk to Zhang Xun.
However, when they arrived at the main hall, before entering, they heard Zhang Xun's voice coming from inside.
"How do you feel about meeting the Holy Spirit today?"
"It's okay. The Marquis of Yangcheng has never fought against Chen Guo, and his record is not as good as mine. I should be the one who goes south." This was the voice of his father, Li Zhufeng.
Li Changkong frowned slightly when he heard this, as if he was really discussing business.
He didn't rush in and just listened outside the door.
