"This is all a misunderstanding. It will be fine if the misunderstanding between the two of you is resolved." Liu Xiaoli said with a smile again.
"What about my father..." Saturday Lang couldn't help but ask.
Young people are too impatient and can't hide things.
Liu Xiaoli hissed at him.
"I have heard about your father's affairs, so please wait a moment and be impatient." He said kindly, "Your Majesty has a compassionate temperament. Maybe it will be fine after you get past this anger."
Of course, if you can't get over it, there's nothing you can do.
Liu Xiaoli looked at the excited and grateful expression of the young man in front of him with a smile and nodded.
He is still a good young man, he values friendship and is daring to act, he is passionate, he is single-minded and only sees this thing in his eyes and heart, unlike these rotten people who think about one thing and hesitate to do it.
"Okay, take it quickly." He said, "Go back and tell your family about the matter. Don't be afraid. I'll give you a beating and a scolding. It's all for your own good..."
Before he finished speaking, Cheng Jiaoniang took a step forward.
"Since Mr. Liu has a medicine shop, why not cooperate with him with my prescription skills?" She said, "I have always wanted to practice medicine safely."
"Oh, what you have in mind is quite beautiful." Dou Qi shouted, "If you lose Taipingju, you can buy another drug store, right? You really dare to say that!"
Liu Xiaoli glared at him to stop him, and then looked at Cheng Jiaoniang kindly.
"I'm afraid I'll wrong my wife, my shop is small..." he said.
"Then I can't take back this skill." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
Liu Xiaoli seemed to sigh helplessly when faced with the unreasonable children.
"Look, look, why is this necessary?" He said repeatedly, pondering for a moment, feeling helpless, "Well then, since my wife wants to practice medicine, then go to my pharmacy, and you can pay for the medical treatment yourself.
Well, the money spent on medicines and medical consultations belongs to my family. With Mrs. Cheng here, the popularity of my pharmacy will definitely increase, but I have taken a big advantage, how good is that?"
Of course it's good, you can make money and have a backer, but it's much better than opening a restaurant. You know, this woman can make thousands of dollars just by asking for a doctor.
Speaking of which, Xiaoli Liu still lost the money.
"No, since I am in Lord Tobi's shop, I can naturally take as much as I should according to the rules." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
"You kid..." Liu Xiaoli shook his head and said.
"Okay grandpa, my grandson has suffered a big loss." Dou Qi said with a snort.
Xiaoli Liu cheered and finally nodded.
"Well, now that Mrs. Cheng has spoken, if I don't answer, it will seem like I have no sincerity in reconciliation, so it's settled." He said and clapped his hands.
Cheng Jiaoniang saluted.
"Thank you, sir." She said, raising her head and smiling slightly, "This is really good news."
Xiaoli Liu also laughed.
"Yes, yes, that's really good news." He also said.
Good news….
Liu Lang's heart skipped a beat as he looked at the two people smiling at each other.
Everyone is laughing, so who knows who will laugh last.
Two liars! Neither is good!
Saturday Lang stood up and rolled his sleeves.
Watching the two young men leave, Dou Qi was a little angry.
"Grandpa, this woman is so shameless, she actually dares to take advantage of you!" he shouted.
Just like when I cried and shouted to give Liu Xiaoli dry shares, was that a gift of dry shares? Was it a lack of warmth from relatives? Was it because he wanted to find a backer?
Bah, bah, what do you mean by looking like yourself? Doesn’t that mean you have no shame!
He spat hurriedly and shook his head.
"Grandpa, this woman has made it clear that she wants to take advantage of you, grandpa, to make a comeback." He said, "We can't give her any advantage!"
Liu Xiaoli left Cheng Jiaoniang behind and said that he picked up the square paper that he had just taken when he entered the drug store and carefully placed it close to his body. Then he twisted his beard and smiled.
"The orphan girl is pitiful. She has no mother and no father to support her, no uncle to kiss her, and she has a lover but no mercy to stop her. Didn't she also say that if she wants to gain a foothold in the capital, sooner or later General Guidelang will know about it?
What will happen if you know..." He said this and shook his head, "It is conceivable that young people have to find another way out."
oh…
Dou Qi rubbed his nose and blinked, seeming to understand but not seeming to understand.
"Is it Grandpa that you deliberately used words to lure her to come to the drug store with her prescription skills?" he said.
I don't even understand what I mean when I say this...
"People have the desire to avoid evil and pursue gain. This is human nature. How can we talk about temptation?" Liu Xiaoli said with a smile, "This woman lives a harder life than ordinary people. What is good and what is not good, when and how to do it, she can
It’s very clear.”
Dou Qi rubbed his nose again and thought.
"She used the power of Mr. Chen and Tong Neihan to build Taipingju, and now she can also use your power to build a medicine shop." He snorted, "What a good plan!"
"Good calculation is worse than good luck." Liu Xiaoli smiled and felt happy in his heart.
What is Taipingju? It's just a restaurant where everyone can do something. What he wanted from the beginning was the secret skill of bringing the dead back to life.
What? Isn’t the secret skill already delivered to you?
What a joke, you really dare to accept what is delivered to you.
If you really want to accept it, you must have no choice but to make it clear in front of everyone before accepting it.
For example, the woman practiced medicine in his pharmacy. Of course, not many people knew that it was his pharmacy. When she became famous, she encountered natural or man-made disasters, or caught fire, or was robbed. In short, the beauty was miserable. Although she was gone, she was still alive.
Fortunately, he had disciples during his lifetime, and the secret skills were passed down.
From then on, the secret skill was no longer surnamed Cheng, but was handed over to the hands of people surnamed Liu. Only then can they receive it.
With the secret skill in hand, who in the officialdom would dare to offend him again? Even more powerful than a tiger, even more powerful than a tiger!
Liu Xiaoli felt his heart agitated and wanted to laugh out loud.
Bright laughter rang out in the wing room and spread straight to the hall. The guys in the hall couldn't help but turn their heads in surprise.
Who is it? Smiling like this?
Liu Xiaoli stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, his laughter disappeared, and he looked shocked.
What...did...just now?
Yes, laughing?
How is this possible?
He hadn't laughed out loud for more than ten years, and it had become a habit and instinct.
It’s not a good thing if your habits and instincts are changed!
It seems that he has been a little too careless recently!
"Congratulations to grandpa, congratulations to grandpa for making his wish come true."
Dou Qi, who was standing by, didn't understand why Liu Xiaoli was suddenly stunned and looked like he had seen a ghost, but he understood why Liu Xiaoli was laughing, so he quickly apologized and smiled.
"I like your height." Liu Xiaoli scolded, stretched out his hand to push him away, and walked away.
When the seven characters were hung on the screen, Xu Maoxiu and others still hadn't come back. Qin Langjun said that everything was fine and he didn't get beaten again, but his food and drink were worse, which somewhat alleviated the growing uneasiness in the maid's heart.
However, everything else went quickly. Taipingju went through the formalities at the government office, and the shopkeeper of Yichun Hall over there also made a gesture of invitation and gesture.
"Ms. Cheng is very anxious." Dou Qi looked at the deed with a bright red seal, and her name was clearly written on it, and she felt very happy.
Humph, it was originally their family's ancestral property, but after going around for a while, it came back even more valuable.
Seeing this woman who had made him so embarrassed, and thinking that she was not going to die soon, I felt even more happy and proud, and couldn't help but taunt her.
"Iron-made people can't survive in prison. Those people are kind to me." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
Dou Qi scoffed.
That’s really nice to say!
"Actually, the lady is rushing to find a good backer before Mr. Guide comes back." He laughed.
"That's half right." Cheng Jiaoniang looked at him and replied.
"Madam, let's go and see Li Dashao's injury," the maid said, looking at Dou Qi with some disgust.
"Yeah, take care of it early. I don't care about past grudges. I won't dismiss those cooks and guys. Let him rest assured." Dou Qi laughed.
Li Dashao and his wife had moved back home yesterday, and Mrs. Song was very uneasy about this.
"What are you uneasy about?" Li Dashao asked, looking at his wife who was fidgeting and sighing, "Let us come back to show that everything is fine and safe. This is a good thing and we should rest assured."
Mrs. Song sat down, stretched out her hand to help Li Dashao move his hands, and sighed.
"But, when I went to Taiping Residence to get something today, I vaguely heard them saying..." She whispered, and stopped here, looking hesitant.
"Don't take anything you say seriously, my wife will definitely be considerate," Li Dashao said.
Mrs. Asong looked at him and sighed.
"Yes, it's thoughtful. It's also a kind of thoughtfulness if you don't want to." She said in a low voice.
Li Dashao's hand trembled and he withdrew from A Song's pulling. His face was slightly deformed due to the excessive force and severe pain.
"Why don't you want it? This is what my wife set up specially for Han Engong!" he said anxiously.
Mrs. Asong shook her head helplessly.
"Da Lang, as things stand now, no one is as important as me," she said.
Li Dashao sat down slumped.
"To whom?" he asked dully.
Mrs. Asong was silent for a moment.
"Who else?" she said, "Dou Qi."
Li Dashao stood up suddenly, his chest heaving violently. He looked down at his right hand. The bandage on it was still strong, but he seemed to see a bloody and severed hand.
He suddenly raised his hand and slammed it on the table beside him.
Fortunately, A Song's wife noticed that he was not in a good mood and quickly stretched out her arms to hug him to avoid collision.
"Dalang, you are crazy!" she shouted.
"What's the use of it? What's the use of it? Isn't it still the same? Isn't it still the same?" Li Dashao shouted tremblingly.
"Of course not, of course not. With it, we have another way to survive. Let's go find another family, find another family..." Sister-in-law A Song cried.
"Looking for another family?" Li Dashao laughed, "Looking for another family? If I don't go to his house, my hand will be chopped off. Who else can I go to?"
A Song's wife was stunned for a moment, and the couple immediately hugged each other and cried.
"Oh, what's wrong with you?"
A clear female voice sounded outside, causing the couple to raise their heads in fright. With hazy eyes, they saw a girl outside the door looking over.
I feel like this scene happened to me a long time ago.
"I almost thought I remembered it wrong. Sister-in-law, you still remember me, right?"
The pretty girl walked forward with a smile on her face.
Is it just the same this time as last time?
"Is your hand hurting?" the maid asked.
Li Dashao and his wife hurriedly stood up, wiping their tears indiscriminately as they came out to greet them. Only then did they see Cheng Jiaoniang following behind the maid.
"Madam, Miss Banqin, why are you here?" they said in a panic.
"It's time to change the dressing." Cheng Jiaoniang said, looking at the two of them blankly.
"Sister-in-law A Song, have you forgotten it?" the maid covered her mouth and smiled.
Li Dashao and Sister-in-law A Song stared blankly at the two people in front of them.
Yes, they really forgot that the lady still remembered, especially at this time, she still remembered such insignificant things.
"Madam." Li Dashao took a step forward, took a deep breath and asked, "Don't you want Taipingju?"
"Yes." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
Answered so happily...
It can be seen as perfunctory or comforting.
"Madam, don't hide it from us anymore." Li Dashao lowered his head and said with a bitter smile.
Cheng Jiaoniang smiled.
"I don't speak to comfort people," she said, "It's just that some people listen and comfort themselves."
When it was getting dark, someone rushed into Mrs. Zhou's yard in panic, causing the servants and women who were removing the dinner table to escape.
"Mother, mother, it's not good."
Two or three men shouted and walked into the hall.
Mrs. Zhou, who had just finished eating and was being served by a maid to take medicine, choked and coughed repeatedly. She pointed at the people who came in, their faces flushed and speechless.
"Brother, what are you doing?" the two younger sisters who were accompanying them in the house shouted anxiously, "I'm scaring my mother!"
After a period of confusion, Mrs. Zhou finally calmed down.
"But what about your father?" she asked hurriedly, not caring about eating the water the girl brought.
"No." The Zhou family members were a little embarrassed, "Yes, yes, that fool..."
Mrs. Zhou was startled and then became furious. She took the tea bowl and threw it at her.
"What's wrong with that idiot? Are you also stupid? Come here and scare me to death!" she shouted.
"Mom, mother, that fool has gone to Yichun Hall for a consultation!" the sons and daughters said hurriedly while hiding.
What?
Mrs. Zhou took a breath and sat down.
"Yes, yes, we were passing through the street just now, and what we saw was that there were firecrackers in the sky, and the big signboard of Yichun Hall had been put up, "Miracle Doctor Lady, Back to Life." The whole street was crowded with people watching, it was very lively.
"The boys said hurriedly.
Mrs. Zhou seemed to have seen that scene, the firecrackers and colorful flags were full of envy and compliments, and the woman must have a proud look on her face.
At this time!
When the family encounters such a difficult time! When everyone is sad and worried, unable to eat or sleep!
She actually...
"This shameless thing!" Mrs. Zhou cursed bitterly, "She is looking for a way to make a living because our Zhou family is about to collapse!"
Having said this, she turned around to look again.
"Where's Rokuro? Did he know about it a long time ago? Did he sneak out to support him?" She raised her eyebrows and shouted.
"No, no," the servants and wives hurriedly replied, "Sixth Young Master has not gone out for the past two days. He is staying at home."
"What is he doing?" Mrs. Zhou asked.
Liu Lang put away his pen, and the girl next to him looked over.
"Nine." She muttered, then smiled and thought of something, "Does it mean that nine and nine will return to one? I will arrive in the capital around tomorrow evening."
Zhou Lang shook his head and said nothing.
"Master, what else do you want to do?" The maid put away the bookcase, looked at the young man standing by the window, and asked hurriedly.
Because I'm grounded, I'm stuck at home. I've read the books and written the words, so why don't I go to the school to practice martial arts?
The young man turned his back to her and slowly uttered one word.
"wait."
At this time, Xiaoli Liu had already finished his official duties for the morning.
He put down his pen, rubbed his sore eyes, and breathed a sigh of relief.
The officials brought tea.
"Sir, why are you unhappy today?" he said casually.
Liu Xiaoli raised his head to look at him and subconsciously touched his face with his hand.
"Am I unhappy today?" he asked, the corners of his mouth curved.
Although he still has the same kind face as before, it still feels a bit far-fetched.
The official laughed.
"Adults are working too hard. If there are things that should be done by them, just let them do it." He smiled and said, "Adults, you must act like an adult."
Adults need to be adults...
That lord is my husband, right?
As far as the entire cadre is concerned, that is the real adult.
Liu Xiaoli felt a burst of laughter in his chest and wanted to blurt it out. He hadn't come yet, he hadn't come yet. As long as he hadn't been sued, he felt that he couldn't take it seriously.
The veins in Liu Xiaoli's hand that was holding the tea bowl swelled up, and it took him a while to calm down.
It was too late for him to say anything, the official had already gone out.
Liu Xiaoli leaned on the desk in relief and exhaled, his heart beating loudly.
Chattering and joking could be heard from outside again. This place is close to the Political Affairs Hall and the lower hall of Zhongshu Gate. There are many officials coming and going, so it is the most lively place.
Liu Xiaoli couldn't help but pricked up his ears. Sure enough, he heard people talking about Chen Shao again. This matter no longer needed to be discussed. It was basically confirmed. Then the vacancy of the Minister of Civil Affairs position was also confirmed...
"...It must be Mr. Liu..."
When these words came to his ears, Liu Xiaoli was not as excited as he had been a few times before, because he had also inquired about it privately, and the rumor was not groundless.
It's not that he is arrogant. After decades of operation, it is time for him to do some good things.
It requires connections, connections, qualifications, and character. If not him, who else could come?
If someone really comes and steps on him, he will definitely have a hard time. Sooner or later, he will find someone who is not in trouble and will be sent far away from Beijing.
Liu Xiaoli couldn't help but grit his teeth and murmured in his mouth. He only woke up when his teeth hurt from accidentally biting his teeth. He hurriedly took another sip of tea. The tea was already cold, and there was still lively chatter and laughter outside.
Liu Xiaoli stood up and walked out.
The corridor leading to the political hall is the coolest place and is also a good place for everyone to enjoy the coolness in summer. When they saw Colonel Liu coming out, everyone smiled and greeted him because of his good popularity.
"..The school manager comes and sits here..."
"...What did you eat today? Why don't you go out with us instead of eating pickles and rice all the time..."
"... Don't worry, you don't have to pay it back. We treat you for free..."
Liu Xiaoli was a kind-hearted person and could joke around. He didn't distinguish between superior and inferior. At this time, he just smiled and let them make fun of them.
As he was chatting and laughing, he heard the sound of footsteps and saw a young man walking from the history museum, holding a cane and being supported by a boy.
The young man was described as handsome and graceful, but his pair of crutches were like a good landscape painting stained by a drop of ink.
"The little cripple from the Qin family has been here several times recently..."
"I came here to inquire about Guidelang..."
"It seems like he has a good relationship with the son of the stupid Zhou family..."
That's how it should be, and that's how it should be.
Liu Xiaoli nodded inwardly, with the same expression on his face.
Naturally, he had known about the good relationship between the son of the Zhou family and the son of the Qin family for a long time, and had planned it thoroughly and expected it, so it was not surprising.
If you don't come, then there is a ghost.
What can I do if I come to inquire? I have good reasons and evidence, and His Majesty is so angry that no one can help except my own son and I, whose relationship is worthy of risking our lives to protect each other.
Oh, there is another way, that is, the investigators will stop interfering and just use someone from the past as a scapegoat. But, will this person do it?
Anyway, I won't.
Liu Xiaoli had a faint smile on his face, so the old fool Zhou must get out of the capital to avoid being in his eyes. There is no doubt about this, and it will definitely work.
Today, that fool from Jiangzhou will move into Yichuntang, and Taiping Residence has become his private property. Naturally, Taiping Tofu no longer has the surname Cheng. It is so satisfying to uproot these people and bankrupt them all in one move! I also warn and shock those people.
There are some people in Xiaoxiao who are secretly trying to make a move, but they cannot be offended!
Now it is very likely that I will get a good opportunity for promotion. Everything is going well during this period, and good news keeps coming.
"Look, he's coming."
"Of course he came. There are so many of us, how could he miss it..."
Everyone chatted and laughed in a low voice, watching Qin Shisan stand closer.
"The official is here."
Everyone said hello one after another.
Qin Langjun smiled and saluted, then looked at Liu Xiaoli and smiled warmly.
"Master Liu," he said, leaning on his crutches as he approached.
Liu Xiaoli hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him.
"Sit down here, little official." He said kindly and concernedly.
Qin Langjun smiled and held his arm.
"Master Liu, congratulations." He suddenly smiled.
Congratulations…
The place where this little cripple came was his father's hall. It is said that the news first came from his father...
Is it really decided?
Liu Xiaoli's heartbeat suddenly stopped, and then started beating rapidly again.
"Where does the joy come from when a junior official is joking?" He hurriedly waved his hands and said with a smile, "You want to make fun of me, but I don't dare, I don't dare."
Before he finished speaking, he heard someone shouting in the distance.
"Xiaoli Liu! Is Xiaoli Liu here?"
Everyone stopped talking and laughing and went out looking for fame. They saw a small official hurriedly coming from the public hall under the Zhongshu Gate and waved to them.
"Liu Xiaoli, Master Jianzheng, please come over here, quickly, quickly." He shouted with a smile, holding his hands in the distance.
Lord Justice!
Mr. Jianzheng, the disciple of Zhongshu, invited him! What is it? There is no daily official business to call him? Unless it is a major personnel matter or something involving himself...
Liu Xiaoli felt his ears buzzing a few times.
"Sir, we're here!" Qin Langjun slapped his arm hard and shouted in his ear with a smile.
Good news!
He is going to be a waiter!
He has become a chamberlain!
Liu Xiaoli couldn't help but let out a haha, his chest was filled with turmoil, and his vision became a little blurry. There was a commotion in his ears. It seemed that many people were talking, but he couldn't hear clearly.
He wanted to laugh, but the laughter came out, but he also thought that he could not laugh, and he must not let his emotions leak out and let others notice his true feelings.
He reached out his hand to caress his chest to suppress the irritability and depression.
But when he stretched out his hand, he involuntarily gave a high-five.
"Ha! Ha!" he shouted, "I am the minister! I am the minister!"
Before he finished shouting, he fell to the ground, posing with his hands in laughter.
The people at the scene made a noise and became confused.
