There is a characteristic in feudal society, that is, people all over the world will think that as long as it is used by the emperor, it must be the best. No advertisement can be as good as a word of praise from the emperor. If the emperor says it is good, it must be good, even if he
It was refused at first.
Royal Café,Royal Coffee.
With these two advertising slogans, Li Qi no longer needs to introduce coffee too much, because no matter how many compliments he says, they can't compare to these two. This is why Li Qi took the coffee to the palace to taste it for Zhao Kai.
It's not just to flatter others. Whatever Master Li does, there must be a purpose.
Of course, this is not enough, the most basic publicity is still needed.
There was no television in ancient times, and the media was just a newspaper, so human words were the best tool for publicity. So two days before New Year's Eve, Li Qi prepared a coffee appreciation banquet at home and invited some friends from the government and business circles.
He came with great fanfare. Although he didn't see any coffee, the name of coffee had already spread throughout the capital. Of course, he did not invite Qin Hui, the dean of the Second Academy and others, because they were from several factions. If they came, this would
The atmosphere will definitely be a bit awkward, and they may not be willing to come. Now that the Spring Festival is approaching, they are very busy.
Li Qi also had another purpose, which was to let Wang Yao stay in his Privy Councilor's Residence without revealing anything.
Early this morning, Wang Zhongling led his family to the Privy Councilor's Mansion. He had promised Li Qi earlier that the whole family would celebrate the New Year at Li Qi's Mansion. On the surface, it was for fun, but in fact, it was a secret arrangement.
Maybe to outsiders, this is ordinary, but for Li Qi, this is not something that can be described as simple. This is what he has been looking forward to, because starting from today, Wang Yao will become the
It was really not easy for his woman to move into his house, so she quickly took Feng Yinu and the others out to greet her.
"Uncle Wang, Aunt Wang."
Li Qi stepped forward to greet him and repeatedly held his hands.
Bai Qiannuo, Ji Hongnu and the others also quickly saluted Wang Zhongling and his wife.
Mrs. Wang saw that all of Li Qi's wives were as beautiful as gods and extremely smart, no worse than her daughter. If anyone else got one of them, they would have been blessed for eight lifetimes, and she could only sigh in her heart. This Li Qi is still
What a blessing!
"My dear son-in-law, I won't bother you this time during the Chinese New Year."
Uncle Wang is also very excited. His favorite daughter finally married his favorite candidate. This is really his wish for many years. How unhappy can you make him?
Li Qi hurriedly said: "Uncle Wang's words are out of context. I don't want to disturb you. Don't talk about the New Year. You can stay here forever."
Qiniang and others in the back heard Wang Zhongling directly call Li Qi "a good son-in-law", and they all looked at Wang Yao standing aside with sly eyes.
How could Wang Yao stand up to their looks? She lowered her head slightly and her face turned red.
But the more she was afraid of something, the more something happened. Mrs. Wang suddenly took her hand and took Li Qi's hand with her other hand. She put her daughter's hand into Li Qi's hand and said solemnly: "Li Qi,
Today I will leave my daughter to you, and you must treat her well from now on."
In her heart, of course, she hoped that Wang Yao could marry to the Privy Council openly. But Li Qi had never held a wedding, not even Qiniang. Although she didn't know the reason, she didn't mind it much. The key was the imperial edict.
It is better than any wedding. However, in later generations, it is usually the father who does this, but this is the Northern Song Dynasty, and Mrs. Wang is in charge.
However, her action caught both Li Qi and Wang Yao somewhat unexpectedly. Li Qi did not feel any embarrassment and was even complacent. He held Wang Yao's hand tightly with one hand, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Aunt Wang."
, I will definitely treat Sanniang well."
But when Wang Yao saw so many people there, including Feng Yinu, Bai Qiannuo and other friends, her neck turned red with embarrassment. She really thought she was a bride waiting to be married.
Feng Yinu, Bai Qiannuo suddenly came over. Bai Qiannuo held Wang Yao's lotus arm with one hand and said with a smile: "Sister, I didn't expect that you didn't escape from your husband's grasp in the end."
Feng Yinu squeezed Li Qi away without leaving any trace, took Wang Yao's other jade arm, and joked: "Even a smart person like you, Sister Wang, can't escape from your husband's rhetoric. I feel balanced now.
It’s not that I’m too stupid, it’s that my husband is too cunning.”
At first glance, this sounds a bit like the classic saying. It’s not that our army is incompetent, but that the Communist army is too cunning. Humph, you two are so lawless. You even dare to rob your husband’s woman. How can it be so? Li Qi was squeezed
When he reached the side, he couldn't even touch his hands. He was very depressed and said, "Speaking of Xiao Feng's shoes, are you and my husband so unbearable?"
Bai Qiannuo pouted and said, "Does the husband mean that we are unbearable?"
Li Qi hurriedly said: "I didn't say that."
Feng Yinu said again: "Husband, do you think you have us or we have you, who is more blessed?"
Li Qi was a little dizzy from being surrounded, and was stunned for a moment before he said cautiously: "Of course I am more blessed."
Bai Qiannuo continued: "Then according to husband's theory of relativity, what is the conclusion?"
Li Qi was stunned for a moment, then slowly lowered his head and said, "You are very miserable, so in comparison, I am miserable."
"My husband is really smart."
Bai Qiannuo and Feng Yinu chuckled. Li Qi usually used the theory of relativity to tease them, but now he finally reaped the consequences.
Wang Yao couldn't help but laugh.
On the other hand, Wang Zhongling and his wife were a little confused. Are these the same Feng Yinu and Bai Qiannuo from before?
Li Qi looked at Wang Zhongling with an aggrieved look and said, "Uncle Wang, did you see that you have to make the decision for me?"
Uncle Wang coughed lightly, patted Li Qi on the shoulder and said, "A good son-in-law, that's what a good husband should be like. Haven't you seen your wife smiling happily? That's enough." As he spoke, he whispered to Li Qi.
Qi whispered in his ear: "Boy, I'm not as good as you."
Li Qi raised his thumb and said: "Uncle Wang, what you said is so insightful. My son-in-law thinks the same way." But he thought in his heart, these people have moved in, how long can you stop them, that's right, today I
You have to pretend to be a gentleman and behave well in front of Uncle Wang. Bah, bah, bah, why are you pretending to be a gentleman? I am a gentleman.
Mrs. Wang chuckled and said, "Seeing you can do this makes me feel relieved."
Li Qi is cunning, and this is something everyone knows. At first, she was really worried that her daughter would be bullied, but as soon as she entered the door, she suddenly found that feminism was everywhere in the Privy Council Office, and she felt more at ease.
The girls burst into laughter.
"Godmother."
At this time, Li Zhengxi came out of nowhere and ran over excitedly. When he came to Li Qi's side, he first respectfully saluted Wang Zhongling, his wife and their children one by one.
At first glance, you can tell that a child has a tutor. Whenever you meet an elder, you must not miss this courtesy. This is a Chinese virtue.
Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "Zhengxi is so good."
Wang Yao was extremely happy to see Li Zhengxi. She couldn't help but stretched out her hands and hugged Li Zhengxi. After not hugging him for a long time, Wang Yao suddenly felt that she couldn't hold Li Zhengxi. She smiled and said: "Zhengxi, you have grown taller recently.
It's so heavy that my godmother can hardly hold you anymore."
Li Zhengxi said: "Godmother, Zhengxi eats a lot every day now. He also exercises every day and strives to grow up earlier, so that Zhengxi can protect his mother, godmother, Aunt Feng, Qi Yiniang, Aunt Yelu...
..."
This child is so sensible. Wang Yao was very moved when she heard this, and touched Li Zhengxi's little head lovingly.
Little did they know that this was actually Li Qi's inheritance.
But Xiao Zhengxi counted to the end. He only missed Li Qi. Li Qi said depressedly: "Son, have you forgotten something?"
Li Zhengxi shook his head blankly.
Li Qi said unhappily: "Don't you want to protect daddy?"
Li Zhengxi said: "But dad is protected by Uncle Ma, and Uncle Ma is very powerful. And didn't dad say that helping people should be a help in times of need, not the icing on the cake?"
Ji Hongnu frowned and said, "Brother, how could you Zhengxi say this?"
Li Qi snorted and said, "I--I don't remember when I said this."
Ji Hongnu frowned and said to his son: "Zhengxi, what did mother teach you in normal times? A gentleman is noble and others despise himself. He puts others before himself. How can we treat him differently? If mother hears you say that next time, you should go back."
Facing the wall and thinking about it.”
Li Zhengxi snorted and said, "I'm sorry, I know I was wrong."
Aren't you scolding me when you scold Zhengxi? Li Qi scratched his head. He couldn't turn the corner. He didn't know whether to nod or shake his head. Suddenly, he saw the others looking at him with smiles in their eyes, and their old faces changed.
Hong yelled and said: "Uncle Wang, Aunt Wang, let's not stand here talking, come in and sit down. Please."
A group of people came to the front hall and saw Bai Shizhong and his wife sitting in the hall. Because Bai Shizhong was old and there was a heavy war, Bai Qiannuo was not very relieved, so he had left these two elders and her earlier.
Those brothers and sisters were invited to live in the house, but in the final analysis they were still guests, and they were older than Wang Zhongling and his wife, so naturally they would not go out to greet them. When they saw their friends coming, they said with a smile: "Zhong Ling is here.
"
Wang Zhongling cupped his hands and said, "Brother Bai, you're fine."
All his children also quickly stepped forward to salute Bai Shizhong and his wife.
Mrs. Bai smiled and said: "We will be a family from now on, there is no need to be so outspoken." She looked at Li Qi with a smile.
In front of his mother-in-law, Li Qi was really embarrassed to find another beautiful woman. He knew that if he stayed here at this time, he would be ridiculed by his mother-in-law. Moreover, there were also two important guardians, Bai Qiannuo and Feng Yinu, here. Think about it.
They all felt terrible. If they don't leave now, then when will they wait? He said: "My father-in-law, Uncle Wang, and my son-in-law have to go to the front to greet the guests, so I'll excuse you now. I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Bai Shizhong smiled and said, "Go ahead, I'll have a nice conversation with Zhong Ling."
"yes."
Li Qi nodded, turned around and went out.
It's scary inside, but it's not necessarily safe outside.
No, as soon as they arrived in front of the door, they met their nemesis. Gao Yanei was the first to get out of the carriage. When he saw Li Qi, Beier was so excited that he waved and laughed: "Li Qi." With that, he
Just ready to jump off the carriage.
But at this moment, a hand suddenly grabbed him back. It was Fan Shaobai. Before Gao Yanei could react, Fan Shaobai picked up the carriage and walked quickly towards Li Qi, saying: "Privy Councilor, congratulations.
Congratulations."
Li Qi smiled and said: "Shaobai, I just invited you to have dinner, but I don't have anything happy to share with you!"
Fan Shaobai came to Li Qi and said with a smile: "The Privy Council will make a lot of money soon, and this business will reach a new level. If I don't say congratulations, then I would be really rude."
Li Qi chuckled and remained silent.
Fan Shaobai came over and whispered: "Hey, you, the Golden Knife Chef King, have to do these coffee beans yourself. I want to order extraordinary things. I wonder if there is any chance of cooperation."
Normally, he never fights with Gao Yanei, but once interests are involved, he will always rush to the front, just like when Gao Yanei sees a beautiful woman.
Li Qi's heart was like a mirror, he smiled and nodded and said: "Of course, if you are rich, can we all make money together?"
Fan Shaobai was overjoyed when he heard this. Although he had never seen coffee, Li Qi held a banquet for this coffee. Who was Li Qi? He was the richest businessman in the Song Dynasty. The profits can be imagined.
How could this Shaobai be so unreasonable? He dared to get in front of me, and I wanted to go to him and talk to him. Gao Yanei was overtaken by Fan Shaobai, and he felt that his prestige had been lost, and he was extremely angry. However, when he was about to go to him again
When he jumped off the carriage and went to settle accounts with Fan Shaobai, another hand pulled him back.
Gao Yanei turned his head in anger and saw Chai Cong looking at him with a smile, and said angrily: "Chai Cong, why are you pulling me?"
Chai Cong smiled slightly and said: "Ya Nei, you always strive to be the first, right?"
Gao Yanei scratched his head and said in confusion: "Why fight for the first place? I have always been the first, so why do we need to fight?"
This is definitely speaking from the heart.
Shameless! Chai Cong cursed secretly, but said with a smile: "That's right, the first place has been taken away by Shao Bai. If Yanei gets off the car at this time, he will become the second place."
Gao Yanei was stunned, this is really the truth!
Chai Cong chuckled: "Since you can't be the first, then be the last to last. After all, you are also the first!" He jumped off the carriage after saying that.
Hong Tianjiu, who came out from behind, said to Gao Yanei, who was still deep in thought: "Brother, I think Chai Cong's words are too reasonable. I won't compete with my brother for the last place, so as not to hurt my brother's prestige.
." After saying that, he also jumped off the carriage, leaving poor Gao Yanei standing alone on the carriage.
