If you do evil by God, you can still forgive it; if you do evil by yourself, you will not live.
Seeing the confusion on Li Yi's face, as if he was suffering from amnesia, and seemed to have completely forgotten what "perfume" was, the corners of Li Xuan's mouth twitched involuntarily.
"Ten taels of silver?" Li Xuan asked tentatively.
Li Yi glanced at him, looking unmoved.
In the past, when his family was too poor to open the pot, ten taels of silver was indeed a huge amount of money for him, and he no longer had to worry about food. But now, he has no idea how many ten taels of silver come in every day, and he can do it.
Don't give up for this little money.
Seeing that his amnesia was still not cured, Li Xuan gritted his teeth and said, "I just found a BMW horse recently... I'll give it to you!"
"Two bottles at most, no more!"
Li Yi glanced at him and finally spoke.
Frequently traveling around the village and the city, always renting a carriage from a carriage shop is not an option. It is time... to ask Li Xuan to give him a horse.
Just because he said a few words too much, he lost a good horse worth hundreds of taels of silver. Li Xuan felt depressed. After leaving an invitation, he left with two bottles of perfume in his hand.
"Two days later, the princess's birthday party..." Li Yi opened the invitation, took a look at it, and put it aside.
Although he was not interested in the princess's birthday banquet, since Li Xuan had sent the invitation, it was not easy for him to lose face.
At most, he could just eat and drink, and then go away when he was full. The style of Prince Ning's Mansion was so high, there should be no shortage of delicacies from the mountains and seas. Speaking of which, he really didn't know what good things those royal nobles usually eat...
Thinking about it this way, the feeling of reluctance in my heart eased slightly.
It's just that Li Xuan was too stingy and only gave one invitation. Otherwise, if more people went, at least the cost could be recouped.
Li Xuan is quite leisurely. Whether it's the portrait or the perfume, he does it all by himself. He can just wait for the goods to be received. It's a very light thing to knock him.
…………
The Princess's birthday banquet was of course held in Prince Ning's Mansion. Although Li Yi was not familiar with the road, he still knew the road after being dragged here by Li Xuansheng last time.
Prince Ning's palace has a transcendent status, and Prince Ning has to give him face. Naturally, there will be many guests at the princess's birthday banquet.
The visitors were all prominent figures in Qing'an Mansion, large and small civil and military officials, and even many people came from the capital. From a distance, Li Yi saw Butler Wang standing at the door, smiling at every guest and greeting them.
The invitations were inspected, the gifts were accepted one by one, and registered in the register.
"Keep your eyes open for me for a while. You only recognize the invitation but not the person. No matter who comes, you can't let him in without an invitation." Taking advantage of his free time, Butler Wang lectured the servants who greeted the guests at the door.
.
The princess's birthday banquet is a big event. There are many important people in the palace tonight. In addition to the dignitaries from the city and the capital, there are also the new scholars from Qing'an Prefecture who are taking the scientific examination. The princess's birthday banquet is one of them.
Inviting knowledgeable people to discuss state affairs is also the highlight of the night.
The welcome desk at the door is a very important part. If something goes wrong, no one can afford it.
Listening to Butler Wang's instructions, several servants quickly agreed.
Steward Wang has been stealing the show in recent days and is expected to be the top seed to be promoted to the chief steward of the palace after the old steward retires.
"Hey, Mr. Li, you are finally here. The young prince has been waiting for a long time." When Butler Wang saw Li Yi approaching from a distance, the smile on his face became brighter and he hurried over.
This time, his welcome to Li Yi was indeed sincere.
Ruyilu's business has brought huge profits to the palace, and the newly launched spirits have aroused the rush of many drinkers, and the popularity is even greater than that of Ruyilu.
Just the profits brought in in recent days have already made Butler Wang smile from ear to ear.
In the past few days, Butler Wang seemed to have seen mountains of gold and silver raining down on him.
Even the prince praised the strong wine very much and praised him in front of everyone. In the past few days, Butler Wang could even walk with a smile on his face.
He thought he could only be a small foreign affairs steward in this life, but it was Li Yi who brought him hope. If he hadn't seen that the young prince had a close relationship with him, Butler Wang would have wanted to make a blood alliance with him and swore a sworn sworn brother.
For brothers of the opposite sex.
Although the previous visitor, Butler Wang, was equally warm and polite, he had never been seen to be so eager. When the servants in charge of welcoming guests saw this, they couldn't help but feel surprised.
Several guests who had just given the congratulatory gifts and had not yet stepped through the door turned to look at this scene, with equally surprised expressions on their faces.
This man is young, but the steward of the palace is so polite to him. Could it be that he is also a big shot?
"Steward Wang, long time no see." Li Yi smiled, cupped his hand and handed something in his hand over.
After thinking about it, he felt that there was no gift to give. Instead, he should give something more expensive. There was no shortage in the palace, but he was reluctant to buy something novel. He was afraid of stealing Li Xuan's limelight. Of course, the main reason was
He was too lazy to bother...
It would be better to write this birthday message in your own hand, which is sincere and unconventional.
A birthday message can be finished in half an hour. It took a while for the ink to dry, so I found a shop to frame it, and then brought it over to eat...to attend the birthday banquet of the prince's palace.
"Master, please show me your invitation."
Someone hurried over, took the thing from Li Yi's hand, and said with a smile.
"You're a shameless thing, go ahead. Mr. Li, do you need an invitation?" Steward Wang scolded the servant with a stern face, then looked at Li Yi and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, I will take you in, the young prince said
, as long as you come, let me take you to him immediately."
Seeing Butler Wang leading the young master in, the servant who was scolded looked confused.
Didn't Butler Wang say just now that no matter who comes, he must show his invitation? Didn't he agree that he would only recognize the invitation but not the person?
The palace is very lively tonight.
Along the way, Li Yi saw many men and women in gorgeous clothes, chatting and laughing at the tables in the courtyard. Among them were many Confucian scholars and officials with extraordinary bearing. In an open space next to them, a singer was singing with a melodious voice...
…
This atmosphere is somewhat similar to the poetry meeting I attended that time.
Maybe the ancients liked this tune for their banquets. Following Butler Wang, he turned left and right, and after going deep into the palace, the crowd gradually became quieter.
[ps: Tragedy, I was called to the school by my tutor to help. I will be busy for about a week. I will take time every day and try to maintain two updates. If I can't write it, I will wait until I get home and make up for it slowly. Sorry.!]
