There was a voice behind Li Xuan, and Li Yicai saw a strange young man standing behind him.
"Who is this?" When Li Yi asked this question, he already had a guess in his mind.
This should be the person sent by the Wang family to discuss cooperation.
After all, the Wang family is one of the most powerful families in Jingguo. It is naturally impossible for the head of the family to come over for such a thing. The person in front of him is most likely one of Li Xuan's brothers-in-law.
Li Xuan introduced: "This is Qin'er's brother."
Li Yi's heart moved slightly. The prince's brother, the eldest son of the Wang family and the future head of the family, asked Wang Yong to come over. The Wang family was very sincere this time.
While Li Yi looked at Wang Yong, the young man in front of him was also looking at him.
There are only a few people in the whole Jingguo who can make the Wang family take the initiative to ask for business cooperation. Others have always asked them to do so, but this time his father asked him to come in person, which was already a very high level of courtesy.
He had heard about the various deeds of County Uncle Li before. He fought with the envoys of Qi and beat the prince of his country. While talking and laughing, he made the buttocks of all the dandies in Kyoto bloom, and his eyes made the king of Shu jump into the lake.
…
In short, what happened to County Uncle Li is legendary to the extreme.
The first thing I felt when I saw him today was surprise. I was surprised that the person who caused such a storm in Kyoto was actually so young. At such an age, he had already obtained something that countless people, including the Holy Family, could not obtain in their lifetime.
Dongxi, the younger generation, only this one person.
"Brother Wang, please." Li Yi stretched out his hand towards the room and said with a smile.
The Wang family's attitude was enough to send their eldest son here, and the Li family certainly couldn't neglect it either.
In the hall, the two of them sat down respectively as guest and host. Li Xuan looked around and asked, "Where should I sit?"
"Go and make a pot of tea and bring it over." Li Yi didn't plan to ask Xiao Huan to come over. Li Xuan never regarded himself as an outsider here. Today, he was going to let him fully experience what it was like to be the master.
…
"Thank you so much for your hospitality today, Uncle Li. Wang Yong takes his leave." Half an hour later, the eldest son of the Wang family stood at the door of the Li Mansion, turned around and cupped his hands and said.
"Brother Wang, go slowly." Li Yi returned the greeting with his hand, and when he saw him and Li Xuan getting on the carriage, he turned around and went back.
We were just discussing business matters with the other party. Once the conversation started, we got straight to the point and went straight to the topic. We didn't waste much time and reached agreement on many issues.
Of course, the reason why the negotiation could be concluded so quickly was because the Wang family was indeed sincere and agreed to many of the conditions he proposed without any hesitation. You must know that Li Yi had long been prepared for them to bargain, and some of the conditions were also
It was indeed harsh, but I didn't expect that Wang Yong would agree to all the conditions.
During this little half hour, he wondered several times whether the Wang family came here specially to send money this time.
Generally speaking, this conversation was held in a friendly and harmonious atmosphere, even too friendly. There is no such thing as a free lunch. This made Li Yi feel a little wary.
However, for now, everyone is making money and there is no harm to the Li family. As for what will happen in the future, let’s wait and see.
Although families like the Cui family and the Wang family are powerful, in his eyes, they are not that scary.
After all, a large part of the heritage of these families relies on their reputation among the people or scholars, and he actually doesn't understand anything about such things as bad reputation and bad reputation.
Several maids in the house were chattering around the small ring. Li Yi walked over and coughed lightly, and immediately dispersed, each going about his or her own business.
"Uncle." Xiaohuan's face was flushed. Li Yi thought her hair was pulled up strangely, so he pinched her face and said, "Come in."
In the room, next to the bronze mirror, the little maid asked with a sad face: "Uncle, doesn't the second lady's hair look good?"
Li Yi finally understood why her hair looked so strange today. He spread her hair and said, "Your second lady, she looks pretty good cutting people with a sword. Comb her hair... haha."
"Uncle, let me do it." The little maid wanted to stand up from the chair, but was pushed down by Li Yi again.
"do not move."
Hearing the word "don't move", as if she thought of something, a blush immediately appeared on the little maid's face.
While combing her hair, Li Yi said: "You must not imitate the second lady of your family. She is a girl who can't cook, can't be a prostitute, can't even comb her hair, and always likes to spend money..."
Glancing into the bronze mirror, there was a clear flash of cold light in the direction of the door. Li Yi said calmly: "Girls, even if they want to spend money, money is for spending. Girls shouldn't sit around the stove all day."
When traveling around Taiwan, you need to be independent and self-reliant. This is something you need to learn from the second lady..."
The sword in the bronze mirror disappeared, Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and the little maid said doubtfully: "But didn't my uncle just say that I don't want Xiaohuan to learn from the second lady?"
"Don't move..." Li Yi pressed her head, "If you move any more, it will cause chaos."
After a while, looking at the little maid with two buns on her head again, Li Yi stretched out his hand to adjust the position of the two buns and nodded. It finally looked more pleasing to his eyes.
Xiaohuan wrinkled her nose and asked, "Uncle, does it really look bad with your hair pulled up?"
"It doesn't look good." Li Yi nodded and said simply.
"Hehe, that little ring will be combed like this from now on." When she skipped out, her eyes turned into crescent moons. This was the first time that my uncle combed her hair with his own hands...
I ran out of the door and saw a figure walking in from the outside. I immediately ran over and said, "Miss, you are back..."
…
…
"Did the fasting go well this time?" Ruyi sat in front of the dressing table, replaced the beaded hairpin with an ordinary hairpin, and Li Yi came over and asked.
"Everything went smoothly." Ruyi said with a smile: "Those things were done by servants, and I was just watching from the side."
Thinking of something, he added: "Master Tanyin from Hanshan Temple asked my concubine to say hello to Xianggong, saying that if Xianggong has time, he would like to discuss Buddhism with Xianggong."
There is no time to discuss how to deceive others with a monk who suffers from being fooled. This is a secret that is not passed down. Without Wan'er's eight thousand taels of silver, it will never be passed on lightly.
"Xiaohuan..., my wife asked her to do this, right?" Li Yi looked at her and asked.
Such a stupid little maid, who is still like a child at heart, has absolutely no courage or the heart to do what she did last night. Although she denied it after asking her many times, she could be defended like this.
There is only Ruyi.
Ruyi said in a low voice: "Xiaohuan... is already sixteen. She is originally married to her husband, and she also likes her husband."
"Sixteen is still too young." Li Yi sighed and said, "At least we have to wait until twenty, right?"
Ruyi raised her head and looked at him and said, "But sir, I am not even past my prime years, right?"
Li Yi thought for a while and said: "Then nineteen, it can't be any earlier..."
Ruyi lowered her head: "I am thinking that if Xiaohuan can be my husband and give birth to a child for the Li family..."
Li Yi's body stiffened slightly.
In order to ensure that the eldest son is the legitimate son, whether it is a maid or a concubine, they cannot give birth to a child earlier than the main wife. If such a thing happens in those aristocratic families, it may even involve lives...
Now, does she not even care about these things?
One can imagine how much hesitation and struggle she went through before making this decision...
"Ms. sir..." She looked up at Li Yi, with a hint of sobs in her voice, "I, I'm sorry..."
The majestic master is just an ordinary woman at this moment, with two tear marks on her extremely beautiful face.
"What's so good about this little naughty kid? She's so annoying." Li Yi said with a sullen face, turned around and closed the door, picked her up and walked towards the bed.
"Ms. sir..."
"Shh, don't talk. Don't you love naughty babies? Let's have them now!"
…
"Strange, what are the uncle and the young lady doing inside, and why are the doors closed again?" The little maid stood at the door for a while, scratched her head, and murmured in confusion.
