Mou Rongtian and Li Jiaoyue sat down. Li Jinzhong's tears could not be suppressed and were about to flow down. He was afraid that Li Jiaoyue would see them and become suspicious, so he hurriedly turned around and wiped them with his sleeves, but Li Jiaoyue still saw them.
Li Jiaoyue was puzzled, but it was inconvenient to ask.
Tian Xiaofeng walked in happily. As soon as she saw Mou Rongtian, she felt very happy. Mou Rongtian had become her lucky charm.
Tian Xiaofeng said: "Rongtian, what do you want to eat today?"
Mou Rongtian asked Li Jinzhong to order. Li Jinzhong picked up the menu and ordered two dishes at random. He handed the menu to Li Jiaoyue and said, "Girl, just order whatever you want to eat. Uncle will be the host today."
Li Jiaoyue ordered a few of Mou Rongtian's favorite dishes and said, "Boss Tian, that's it."
Mou Rongtian said to Tian Xiaofeng: "Sister, add chicken feet and vinegar fish fillets." These two dishes are Li Jiaoyue's favorites.
Tian Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Wait a moment." Then he walked out.
Li Jinzhong had an jade bracelet in his arms, wrapped in a handkerchief. He took it out and placed it in front of Li Jiaoyue's desk. He said, "Girl, this is the first time we meet. My uncle gives you a small gift. See if you like it."
?”
Li Jiaoyue unfolded the handkerchief and picked up the bracelet. Seeing that it was of high quality and valuable, she hurriedly wrapped it again with the handkerchief, pushed it to Li Jinzhong's table, and said: "This is too expensive. How can a little girl accept such a valuable thing from my uncle?"
A generous gift?"
Li Jinzhong said: "This bracelet is not valuable. Girl, please keep it quickly. If you don't keep it, you will be looking down on your uncle, and he will be unhappy."
Li Jiaoyue looked embarrassed and went to see Mou Rongtian, asking him to say a word to ask Li Jinzhong to take the bracelet back. Unexpectedly, Mou Rongtian said: "Jiaoyue, uncle is Tianmu's aunt, not an outsider, since uncle has taken it out
Now, why don't you ask him to take it back? Just wear it."
Li Jiaoyue was surprised. She didn't expect that Mou Rongtian would persuade her to accept it. This was not in line with Mou Rongtian's usual style of doing things. She was very puzzled and couldn't refuse anymore. She said, "Thank you, Uncle Li."
The three of them chatted. During the chat, the waiter put the dishes on the table. After taking up his chopsticks, Tian Xiaofeng walked in with a plate of green onions in his left hand and a bowl of diced pork fried sauce in his right hand, and placed them in front of Mou Rongtian's table. Tian Xiaofeng knew that the green onions were dipped in
Sauce is Mou Rongtian's favorite. Seeing that he didn't order this dish, he took the initiative to help him make up for it.
Mou Rongtian was startled and said with a smile: "Sister, we don't seem to want green onions, right?"
Tian Xiaofeng smiled and said: "Aren't you proud of this? My sister saw that you forgot to order it, so she added it for you."
Li Jiaoyue didn't like the unpleasant smell of green onions in Mou Rongtian's mouth, so Mou Rongtian never ate green onions when he was with her.
Mou Rongtian smiled and said, "Thank you very much, sister."
When Li Jiaoyue saw Tian Xiaofeng being so considerate to Mou Rongtian, there was a faint look of displeasure on his face.
Tian Xiaofeng did not regard herself as an outsider, and sat at the table to eat and drink with them. Seeing this, Li Jiaoyue became more and more unhappy, but she suppressed it and did not have an attack.
After three drinks and five dishes, Li Jinzhong asked Li Jiaoyue: "Girl, how is the business of your escort agency?"
Li Jiaoyue said: "Since Daxia Li left, things have not been as good as before. Clients feel that the escort agency has no strong support, so they are unwilling to come to us."
Mou Rongtian said: "Jiaoyue, it is too risky to have a job as a escort. I don't want you to take the risk. Otherwise, you should end the escort agency and start some other small business."
Li Jinzhong said: "Rongtian is right, escorting is dangerous and hard, so it's better not to do it."
Li Jiaoyue said: "My father spent half his life to build the golden brand name of Flying Tiger Escort Agency. I can't let it fall into my hands. No matter how hard it is, I will continue to support it."
After dinner, Li Jinzhong went to his wife's cemetery, sat beside it, and said, "Second sister, do you know, I just met Yu'er, she is as beautiful as you." After a pause, he continued.
: "How much I want to get to know her, how much I want to hear him call me daddy, but I can't do that. I can't let Yu'er know that she has a father like me."
At the time of Haipai the next night, Li Jinzhong, dressed in black and masked, jumped over the wall into Luo's house. Seeing the lights on in Luo Sigong's study, he floated down in front of the door, removed the black cloth from his mask, and knocked lightly on the door.
Luo Sigong shouted "Come in". When he saw the door opened and Li Jinzhong walked in, he was startled and said, "Why are you here? Do you have any important information?"
Li Jinzhong closed the door behind him and said, "I don't have any information. I just came to ask for help."
Luo Sigong said: "Sit down and talk."
After Li Jinzhong sat down, Luo Sigong said: "What do you ask me for?"
Li Jinzhong said: "I have found Yu'er. She is Li Jiaoyue, the owner of the Flying Tiger Escort Agency. I met her yesterday and heard from her that the agency has no business. I want to help her, but I am powerless.
Your Excellency has many friends and a wide range of contacts, so I am bold enough to ask you to help me introduce some business to my daughter."
When Li Jinzhong entered the palace, he asked Luo Sigong to help him find his daughter. Luo Sigong had already found out that Li Jiaoyue was his daughter, but never told him.
When Luo Sigong wanted to marry Mou Ying, Mou Ying knew that his son's sweetheart was Li Jiaoyue, so he refused. Luo Sigong told Li Jiaoyue that his father had already become an eunuch. The Mou family was a famous family, so how could they become relatives with the eunuch? Therefore, Mou Ying agreed to marry him.
The Luo family gets married.
Luo Sigong pretended to be surprised and said: "It turns out that Li Jiaoyue is Yu'er, which made me find it so hard." After a pause, he added: "I can help your daughter to get some business, but there is no one who can do it in Feihu Escort Agency now.
Man, what if she loses her dart, wouldn’t we have harmed her?”
Li Jinzhong said: "Don't worry, sir, I will take care of you secretly, and nothing will happen."
Luo Sigong thought to himself: "You dare to say such big words just because you are so powerful." He smiled slightly and said: "Okay, since you said so, I will help your daughter."
On the evening of the next day, Luo Sigong came to a large house in Dongcheng. The owner of the house, surnamed Lin, was a famous tea merchant in the capital. Lin received the notice and hurriedly ran out to greet him. He said with a smile: "Oh, what a rare guest.
Ah, Mr. Luo, what kind of fragrant wind has brought you to this humble house? Please come inside quickly." He accompanied Luo Sigong to the house with a low eyebrow.
Luo Sigong said: "I'm addicted to chess, and I want to ask you to play a few games."
Lin Yuan smiled and said: "I am willing to accompany you." He asked Luo Sigong to take a seat in the flower hall. He ordered the servant to brew the treasured tea leaves. He went back to the back house and brought a chess set and placed it on the table.
Seeing that the chess pieces were made of jade, Luo Sigong said, "Old Lin, your chess set is pretty good. I also have a set of jade chess pieces. The size and fineness cannot be compared with yours. How can such a big jade chess piece be of such fine quality?"
It is so good that it is rare and rare in the world."
Lin Yuan smiled and said: "If you like it, I will give you this set of chess. Please accept it."
"Ha..." Luo Sigong said with a smile, "How can that be done? A gentleman will not take away people's love."
At this time, the servant offered tea, and Lin Yuan said: "Master Luo, please use tea."
Luo Sigong picked up the tea bowl, took a sip, tasted it, and said, "Old Lin, this is Dahongpao."
Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Exactly."
Luo Sigong said: "Dahongpao is tribute tea and cannot be sold to the public. Where did you get it?"
Lin Yuan said: "I bought it from Mr. Zhang Cheng. Mr. Zhang played pot throwing with the Holy Master, and all the big red robes he won were sold to the younger one. If you think this tea is delicious, you can give it to the younger one when you leave.
Bring a few pounds with you."
Luo Sigong said: "Let's talk about it later." This was an agreement.
The two began to play chess, and Lin Yuan said: "It's boring to play, why don't we win some prizes?"
Luo Sigong said: "That's okay. How big is the jackpot? I can't compare to your wealth. The jackpot is too big, so I can't afford it."
Lin Yuan said: "If the little one wins, please give me a piece of calligraphy. If the little one loses, the chess set will be yours. What do you think?"
Luo Sigong smiled and said: "My calligraphy treasure is not valuable, how can it be compared with this chess set? It's inappropriate."
Lin Yuan said: "Sir, you are being humble. Your old tiger character is worth a thousand pieces of gold, but it is much more valuable than this pile of stones."
Luo Sigong said: "Well, as the saying goes, 'A thousand pieces of gold are easy to get, but a confidant is hard to find.' Since you know how to appreciate my calligraphy, no matter you win or lose, I will give you one."
Lin Yu smiled and said, "Thank you very much, sir."
After a good start, the two of them were chatting. After Luo Sigong chatted for a few words, he changed the subject and said, "Old Lin, I heard that you have a batch of tea to be shipped to Liaoyang. Is there anything wrong with that?"
Lin Yuan said: "It is indeed true. I will send it to you in a few days."
Luo Sigong asked casually: "Have you found the escort yet?"
Lin Yuanwai is a shrewd businessman. When Luo Sigong asked about this matter, he guessed that Luo Sigong's true intention of this trip was not to play chess, but to bring business to a certain escort agency. Although he had already found an escort agency, he said: "The little one is doing it for me."
This is a difficult matter. I have asked several escort agencies and they all have conflicts in time."
Luo Sigong said: "Have you asked the Flying Tiger Escort Agency? I heard that they just have some free time during this time."
Lin Yuanwai knew that the Feihu Escort Bureau was not strong enough and was afraid of making mistakes, so he was unwilling to entrust the escort to them, but he did not dare to offend Luo Sigong. He complained in his heart, but said: "I am just trying to contact the Feihu Escort Agency. If they are willing to accept
, this batch of goods will be handed over to them."
The next day, Lin Yuanwai came to Feihu Escort Bureau. Li Jiaoyue saw a big customer coming to the door and gave him a warm reception. Lin Yuanwai asked Feihu Escort Bureau to escort a batch of goods to Liaoyang. Li Jiaoyue was overjoyed and agreed.
Lin Yuan said: "Yesterday, I met Mr. Luo of Jin Yiwei. It was Mr. Luo who suggested that I hand over the goods to you for escort. Chief Li, I didn't expect that you have such a wide range of people. Even Mr. Luo is your friend.
"
Li Jiaoyue wondered why Luo Sigong wanted to help her attract business. After thinking about it, she thought that it was probably Mou Rongtian who asked Luo Sigong to help her.
After the Lin member left, Shengming said: "Junior sister, this batch of goods is worth thirty thousand taels of silver. It is a big business. With our current strength, the risk of doing such a big business is really not small. I don't think you should take it.
Come down."
Hu Kan said: "Senior Brother, you are afraid of a bird. Whoever doesn't open his eyes? If he wants to take advantage of us, I will kill him with a knife."
Lin Deqing, the iron abacus, glanced at Hu Kan and said, "Let's see what you are capable of. Do you have the ability of Daxia Li? If you encounter a tough opponent, can you beat him?"
Hu Kan was not convinced, but he did not dare to argue with Lin Deqing and kept silent.
Lin Deqing added: "Jiaoyue, Shengzi is right. You really shouldn't take this big deal. We can't afford it at all."
Li Jiaoyue said: "I have already agreed. My second uncle can't let me back out anymore."
Guo Jindao: "Second uncle, don't worry. Li Daxia just left not long ago, and most of the friends on the road don't know about it. We use Daxia Li's name, so there will be no problem in escorting us."
