The Li family was the first of the four Ruizhou families to defect.
He can't compare to the Du family when it comes to family property, he can't compare to the Zhou family when it comes to means, let alone power.
Although the Li family is ranked high in Ruizhou, they still can't speak for themselves.
Anyway, there were still many people suppressing him from above, so he simply refused to feel aggrieved and joined Xiao Ci instead.
So after returning from Rouge Tower, Mr. Li didn't sleep all night. He was struggling to collect all the more than 90,000 pieces of silver. If there was cash in hand, he would give it in cash. If the cash was not enough, he would give it in banknotes.
After I collected the money, it was just dawn in the morning, so I set up a car and delivered it in person.
Xiao Ci was still asleep, but when he heard the servant coming to report, he got up and went to the study room in the outer courtyard to see Mr. Li.
Not long after, those boxes containing silver and banknotes were delivered to Mingyue Pavilion.
These were all money items, so it was difficult to leave them in the courtyard. Xunmei waved his hand and carried them all to the east wing, where he had someone count them again.
When Song Qinghuan got up and took a look at the east wing, he couldn't help but click his tongue.
Xunmei said, "These people are really evil. The Li family doesn't count the most. When the Du family, the Zhou family, and the Chen family all arrive later, I'm afraid this house won't be able to accommodate them."
Song Qinghuan didn't say a word when he heard this. He only came out of the east wing and asked Xunmei to lock the door tightly. He thought to himself that Xiao Ci was really not an ordinary rich person.
Xiao Jingchuan and Xiao Jingtong came to Mingyue Pavilion to have breakfast together. Someone came to the study outside the front to spread the word, saying that Xiao Ci was staying there with Mr. Li.
For the sake of those tens of thousands of silver dollars, Song Qinghuan also asked the kitchen staff to prepare a few more snacks and send them over.
After breakfast at Mingyue Pavilion, Xiao Ci had just sent Mr. Li away, and when he came back, he had a smile on his face.
"I thought these people were difficult to deal with, and I thought of 17 or 18 tricks later. I'm afraid I may not use them all."
If the four families unite as one, Xiao Ci may still have a headache for a while, but now that the Li family has opened a gap and the remaining families can conquer it one by one, it will not be difficult to deal with it.
When Song Qinghuan was instructing Jin to hang lanterns everywhere in the city, he threw cold water on him and said: "Don't be too proud. These people who can stand in Ruizhou for decades are not vegetarians."
, I will suffer losses once and twice, but I am not stupid enough to suffer losses a third time."
Xiao Ci laughed and said, "What's the big deal? This fiefdom will allow us to live there until we die. It would be too comfortable if we didn't have some fun."
Song Qinghuan saw that he was clearly just having fun, so he didn't say anything to him. He just told him what was going on one by one, and then asked Taxue: "Shimikes everywhere in the city must take precautions. Each person can only get one bag."
, lest some people take advantage of others."
Texue said: "Princess, don't worry, we have given porridge in Beijing, so we have experience, so there won't be any trouble."
As soon as King Rui and Princess Rui came to Ruizhou, they caught up with the Mid-Autumn Festival. Whether it was to gain fame or for other reasons, they couldn't just fool around with it.
Xiao Ci originally planned to leave these matters to others, but Song Qinghuan was worried, so he took over.
Everything had to be settled before lunch, and she and the children had to tidy up in the afternoon before showing up again in the evening.
She was so busy that she didn't have time to pay attention to Xiao Ci. Seeing that he had nothing to do, she even pushed him aside.
Among the four families in Ruizhou, only the Li family sent money early in the morning, but the remaining three families remained silent all day.
Xiao Ci was not in a hurry, knowing that the Du family, the Zhou family, and the Chen family, even if they wanted to send money, they would be reluctant to do so, which would probably cause some trouble.
After lunch, the whole family dressed up and went to the tower to show their faces in the evening.
When Xiao Jingtong came to Ruizhou, everything went as she wished. The servants below her were well-behaved and obedient, and the girls from other families also treated her with respect. Unlike in the past in the capital, people would secretly play tricks on her from time to time.
On the contrary, because of these, her indulgent temperament was softened a lot. She was very happy to know that she was going to the tower to see the lanterns on August 15th. She asked Song Qinghuan what she wanted, and gave various girls
Send a post to invite them.
Each family also replied to the letter, and they would definitely go, so she prepared small mooncakes made in her own house for the girls early in the morning.
Xiao Jingchuan was much older and he could see the relationship between his palace and the four major families in Ruizhou. Seeing Xiao Jingtong like this, he mentioned it to Song Qinghuan once.
The meaning is that if the four families have an ugly quarrel with the palace in the future, it will be difficult for Xiao Jingtong, so it is better to restrict her from playing with those girls.
Song Qinghuan knew that he was worried as an elder brother, but he smiled softly and said: "It won't happen one day. Even if it does happen, it will be an experience for Sister Tong."
Although Prince Rui's Mansion and the four major families are now divided into two factions, fighting for wits and courage, in the final analysis, Prince Rui's Mansion will not let the four major families climb to the top.
And if the four major families want to continue to prosper and develop in Ruizhou, they will not offend Prince Rui's Mansion too much. By then, let alone prosperity, they will probably go bankrupt.
After all, Ruizhou is Xiao Ci's fiefdom. If the four families are all stupid, they probably won't be able to get a name in Ruizhou. Now they are just fighting each other to get what they need and get some benefits.
Xiao Jingchuan's age was neither too old nor too young. Song Qinghuan was afraid that he wouldn't know the twists and turns, so she broke it apart and explained it to him in detail.
Ever since he met Zhou Nanxu in the palace last year and Song Qinghuan disapproved of it, Xiao Jingchuan began to have a different view of his stepmother. Although he didn't like her, he didn't reject her much. As they got along for a long time, they became more
I want to repair the relationship with her.
This time I knew that she meant to teach me, so I listened carefully. When I encountered something that I didn't understand, I asked in depth.
Because of his identity, Xiao Ci suffered a lot when he was young, and he developed the mentality he has now. Now that he is here with Xiao Jingchuan, even if he will not be in the same situation as Xiao Ci in the future, the couple will not want to
The meaning of protecting the two brothers and sisters well is the same as the flowers in the greenhouse.
Originally, he was interested in teaching. Seeing that he was interested in learning, Song Qinghuan was naturally happy and taught more.
The mother and son talked well, and when they saw that the time was almost up, they sent someone to send a message to Xiao Jingtong and Xiao Ci. Chuhan came to send a message, saying that the Du family, the Zhou family, and the Chen family were all sending money this way.
.
Sending money is a good thing, but there is no need to go out of your way to tell Song Qinghuan, just do what the Li family did and bring it in.
Song Qinghuan knew as soon as he heard that something was wrong.
He asked, "Tell me, what happened to these three families?"
Chuhan said: "The money was not delivered to our house, but the car overturned on the road.
