This tiring New Year greeting event was finally over, and Li Qi rested at home for a day, waiting for the big deal to come to his door.
On the morning of the eighth day of the lunar month, Li Qi was sitting in the back hall recuperating his energy, sipping fragrant tea, with a sinister smile on his lips.
"Brother Li, Brother Li."
Chen Anan's shout suddenly sounded outside the door. There was a hint of excitement in his voice.
"Come in."
Chen Anan opened the door and walked in, walked quickly to Li Qi, and said: "Brother, the winery and wine cellar have been completed according to your instructions. A total of thirty-two processes have been added. I
I just went to take a look, oh, it's so complicated. The envoys who keep it are unable to see any flaws. If they follow suit, I really don't know what kind of wine they will make."
"That's good, that's good." Li Qi said with a sinister smile.
He had already arranged for people to renovate the winery yesterday. In fact, the brewing process of Tianxia Wushuang is already relatively complicated, but in order to raise the price, Li Qi went all out and added thirty-two more steps at once, which was completely useless and even counterproductive.
This is also to avoid being stolen from others later. Anyway, he is the only one who knows the whole world, and he has the final say whether it is a mule or a horse.
"What are you two discussing again?"
With a voice filled with endless anger, Mrs. Qin walked in from the outside with Xiao Tao.
Li Qi slightly glared at Chen Anan and told you that you didn't close the door even if you came in. If this secret is leaked, you will die.
Chen Anan stuck out his tongue and saluted Mrs. Qin again.
Li Qi stood up and said with a smile: "Madam, why are you back?"
Mrs. Qin snorted softly and said, "This is my home. Do I have to inform you first when I come back?"
This Mrs. Qin is really as virtuous as her mother, showing all her happiness and anger on her face. Li Qi knew that she was angry because he abandoned her and ran away alone the day before yesterday, so he pretended to look towards the door and said in surprise: "Huh? Zheng Er
Didn’t brother come?”
This man was still annoying. Mrs. Qin clenched her teeth. She glared at him fiercely and said, "What? Are you familiar with Brother Zheng?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "It's just so-so, but Brother Zheng is personable and talented, so he can barely meet my requirements for making friends. The key is that he hasn't married yet, so he has great potential."
Mrs. Qin's angry eyebrows stood up and she snorted coldly: "Yes, your requirements for making friends are really high. No wonder you can call the fourth young master a brother."
Li Qi said hey: "This is necessary. The Fourth Young Master is the only scene in our capital. You can't find it anywhere else."
Mrs. Qin felt angry when she heard him confusing right and wrong, but she also knew that continuing to talk would only embarrass herself, so she changed the subject and said, "I just heard what you said about the wine shop, the process, and what are you planning to do?"
"Oh, I almost forgot to tell you about this."
Li Qi earnestly told Mrs. Qin about the sale of Tianxia Wushuang to various countries.
After hearing this, Mrs. Qin frowned and said, "This is a state matter. Why does the emperor want you to talk about it, and why does the emperor ask you to talk about it on behalf of Zuixianju?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "Madam, if you think about it carefully, if we talk about national affairs, then this money must belong to the country, but if we talk about private matters, then this money is private, and the stakes are involved. I believe you don't need me to say more.
Just tell me."
Mrs. Qin coughed lightly and said, "Don't talk nonsense about this."
Li Qi shrugged and said, "Of course I know this. In fact, you didn't ask. I didn't plan to tell you either."
Mrs. Qin said calmly: "Then just pretend I never asked." She was not willing to get involved.
At this time, Aunt Chen suddenly walked in, first saluted Mrs. Qin, and then said to Li Qi: "Master Li, there are three people outside asking to see you."
Li Qicuo said in astonishment: "What? Only three people?"
Aunt Chen nodded and said, "Well, they said they came from Korea."
Bangzi? It seems that Eunuch Liang never said that Bangzi will come too. Even if they want to come, they should come together. Li Qi frowned and thought, and suddenly his eyes lit up. Could it be that they are here to give gifts again? Hehe, there should be no mistake.
. hurriedly said: "Bring them in quickly." When accepting bribes, it is natural to be more concealed.
"yes."
After Mrs. Chen went out, Li Qi smiled at Mrs. Qin again and said, "Madam, do you want to step aside first?"
Mrs. Qin glanced at him doubtfully. Seeing his eyes flashing sharply, she knew it was definitely not a good thing. She frowned and said, "Why should I avoid it? When did you get to know the Koreans again?"
Li Qi rolled his eyes and said, "Madam, I don't need to report to you anyone I meet."
When Mrs. Qin heard this, she would not leave even more.
Seeing that she had no intention of leaving, Li Qi thought to himself, it's okay if you don't leave, just don't ruin my good deeds.
After a while, Aunt Chen walked in with Pu Zhiqian, Pei Wenqing and the really not very heroic guard.
Li Qi immediately locked his eyes on the small box in the gauntlet's hand, but seeing that the box was not very big, even if it was filled with gold, it was not much, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"Pu Zhiqian took the liberty of visiting, so he didn't disturb the official official."
Pu Zhiqian laughed and cupped his hands towards Li Qi.
Mrs. Qin was shocked and confused when she saw how courteous this Korean man was.
"Where, where, Park Heshang can come, I am too late to be happy." Li Qi said with a hypocritical smile.
Pu Zhiqian suddenly discovered that there was a stunning beauty sitting in the hall. He was stunned and secretly surprised. This girl was really a fairy who descended from the earth. No one in Korea could match her.
Give gifts just give gifts, no matter what beauty you look at, you will only be envious after seeing her. Without such advanced plastic surgery technology nowadays, you Korean women are probably just like that. Li Qi frowned and coughed lightly.
Pu Zhiqian was startled for a moment, then he came to his senses and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Pu Zhiqian has met Mrs. Li."
Sweat! I heard you right. What you called Mrs. Li is too talented, but she also has good taste. Standing with Mrs. Li, I am definitely a talented man and a beautiful woman. There is no doubt about it. Li
Qi felt inexplicably refreshed when he heard it, and suddenly felt a chill coming from behind. He glanced slightly and saw Mrs. Qin's face was ashen, and her eyes were cold, as if she wanted to kill someone. He coughed quickly and said to Pu Zhiqian: "Mr. Pu He, what are you doing?
Wrong, this is the famous Zuixianju Mrs. Qin. She is not Mrs. Li. Although Mrs. Qin and I live under the same roof, our relationship is very pure. Don't get me wrong."
They all live together, is this still pure? Pu Zhiqian looked stunned and hurriedly said to Mrs. Qin: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, Mrs. Qin, don't blame me."
Mrs. Qin ignored him at all and glared at Li Qi. If there were no outsiders, she would have been unable to restrain herself and pounced on Li Qi to fight for her life.
What he was looking at was not what I asked him to say, and I explained it clearly enough. Li Qi pretended that he had not seen it, and asked Pu Zhiqian: "I wonder what the purpose of Pu He's visit this time is?"
Pu Zhiqian smiled coquettishly and said: "It's like this. I was given advice by the envoy Guan Yan that day, and it was of great use to me. I came here specifically to thank the envoy Guan Yan this time."
This excuse is really lame. I obviously didn't say anything that day. Li Qi chuckled: "No, no, I didn't say anything." But his eyes were on the small box.
This person is really hypocritical. Park Zhiqian smiled and nodded, then took the small box from the guard. He opened the small box directly, and light flashed out, one and two.
Li Qi took a breath or two and said, "Huh? There are so many golden beans."
When Pu Zhiqian heard this, he shook the box and almost dropped it, secretly thinking: What golden beans? This is obviously a pearl. He has never seen this before.
Even Mrs. Qin on the side couldn't look past it and said: "These are obviously pearls." But her eyes were fixed on the eighteen pearls. Who doesn't like beautiful things.
Pu Zhiqian said hurriedly: "What Mrs. Qin said is that the eighteen pearls here are all top grade."
But inside the box were eighteen pearls one centimeter in diameter, which were round and dazzling, giving them a hazy artistic conception.
"Pearl? I've never seen it before. Let me take a look."
As soon as he finished speaking, Pu Zhiqian felt that his hands were empty. When he looked up, the box was already in Li Qi's hands.
Li Qi casually took out a pearl and shook it in front of his eyes, and said with a smile: "This thing is really beautiful, but what's the use?" He thought in his heart, this damn thing is really the best, it shouldn't be fake these days, right?
.
Park Zhiqian really has never seen the world. Park Zhiqian said with a smile: "If these pearls are ground into powder and taken, they can nourish and nourish the skin. They are of great benefit to the body. In addition, they can also be given to women for decoration." He glanced at it again.
Eyes Mrs. Qin.
Look at what she does, she is not Mrs. Li.
"Hey. I like this idea. It just so happens that I'm going to buy some jewelry for my wife recently to celebrate the first anniversary of our love." Li Qi chuckled and said to Chen Anan: "Anan, give this thing to me
Take a look, Mrs. Li. If they don't like it, they will break it into pieces and soak it in water for Ah Meng to drink. Look at Ah Meng who has wrinkles at such a young age. What's wrong with that?" She said and handed the box over.
Chen Anan asked in astonishment: "Big and small Mrs. Li?"
Li Qi raised his eyelids, and the latter understood immediately, took the box in a hurry, said yes, and ran away in a flash.
By the time Park Zhiqian and others reacted, Chen Anan and the eighteen pearls had long disappeared.
When Mrs. Qin saw that Li Qi accepted such an expensive gift so lightly, she felt that Li Qi was too bold. But what surprised her even more was why these Koreans wanted to give him gifts, and she was very worried.
Li Qi chuckled, stretched out his hand and said, "Everyone, please have a seat, please have a seat."
This person is really snobbish. If he didn't give the gift, I'm afraid we wouldn't even have a place to sit. Pu Zhiqian finally understood. The gift had already been given. Just as he was about to sit down, Mrs. Chen walked in again and said: "Li
Master, Lieutenant Liang and the envoys from various countries have arrived and are waiting in the front hall now."
Park Zhiqian straightened up suddenly.
Damn! Why are you so excited? I didn’t come here to find you. Li Qi tilted his body and looked at Park Zhiqian in surprise.
Mrs. Qin knew that Liang Shicheng came here for the sake of being unparalleled in the world, so she stood up and said, "I'll go to Hong Nu's place first to have a look."
She won't take my pearls, right? Li Qi said hurriedly: "How dare you ask Madam to leave? This is your house, let's go out and talk." After that, he stretched out his hand towards Pu Zhiqian and said: "Pu He, please."
"
"Please please please."
Pu Zhiqian nodded hurriedly and asked in a low voice as he walked: "Why are envoys Guan Yan, Taiwei Liang and other envoys here?"
"Isn't it just for the sake of Tianxia Wushuang? They want to buy some Tianxia Wushuang and give them to their emperor to taste. As a minister, when you see good things, of course you must first think of the emperor. This is the way to be a minister. You think so?
No?"
"Yes, yes, what Official Yanshi said makes sense. In fact, I also want to buy some back."
