Chapter 146 undercurrent
In the middle of the twelfth lunar month, the shopkeeper of Fengle Building and Li Xiaoyao carefully calculated the accounts for most of the day and went back happily. Li Xiaoyao shook the account booklet back and forth with a smile. In the past four months, although the restaurant business has not reached her standard, it has at least earned more than 4,000 taels of silver than before, which is more than 4,000 taels. In the middle, she can get 70%, almost 3,000 taels, and she can just buy a house for Erhuai. In this Kaiping Mansion, 3,000 taels can choose a good five-enter house.
Li Xiaoyao jumped out of the bed and went out of the east wing with the account book. He often went to the main room briskly. Nanning stood at the door and saw her coming at a glance. He quickly stepped forward to report and raised the curtain a moment before Li Xiaoyao arrived at the door of the main room. Li Xiaoyao looked at Nanning with a smile and nodded to thank him.
Su Zicheng put down the pen in his hand and looked at the account book in Li Xiaoyao's hand waiting for her to speak. Li Xiaoyao arched his hand, handed the account book to the wide case in front of Su Zicheng, and said with a smile, "Feng Lelou has come to pay the bill. Look."
"I heard that the business has become much better," Su Zicheng did not take the account book, but only looked at Li Xiaoyao and said with a smile, "I heard that Fengle Building is going to comment on what kind of flower leader? Is that your idea?"
"Well, this Spring Festival will be closed for ten days. It is a rare lively year, and it has to be lively. Just in time, I have just figured out the evaluation of this Hua Kui. Listen and see if it is appropriate," Li Xiaoyao said. Without waiting for Su Zicheng to answer, he sat on the nearest chair to Su Zicheng and said with a smile, "This Hua Kui It's not enough to have a good appearance. You have to have talent. All the official tricks you are registered can come to comment, play, sing and dance. They can choose by themselves. There are three kinds of seats in Fengle Building. The first class is invited by Fengle Building's posts, talented men, discerning nobles, etc. Well, this should not be more, just ten posts. It's not appropriate to have more. As for who I want to invite, I will discuss with Lv Feng later. For this, each person in Fengle Building is given a golden chip every day. Next, a meritorious person, or a student of the Guozijian can sit in the elegant seat upstairs. Each person can throw a silver chip every day. The rest are bamboo chips. There is no limit on the number of bamboo chips. Spend money to buy one bamboo chip for one taels of silver, one silver chip for ten bamboo chips, and one gold chip for ten silver chips. Do you think this is appropriate? Li Xiaoyao asked with great interest. Su Zicheng frowned slightly and looked at the excited Li Xiaoyao and said helplessly, "What do you really want to comment on?"
"Hmm! Think about it for me, is such an evaluation fair? With these ten gold chips, if anyone wants to spend money to buy a flower leader, then let her buy it! I can't wait!" Li Xiaoyao's eyes were bent with a smile. Su Zicheng looked at her and hummed from his nose: "Do you really use gold?"
"That's a good idea!" Li Xiaoyao suddenly realized, "I'm thinking about how to make those female tricks who come to the election both famous and profitable, yes! This gold chip is made of gold, and I will calculate it! One hundred taels of silver is ready, and ten taels of gold is made into a gold chip. Let's make these ten gold chips! Silver chips are also ten taels, one ten taels of silver! But you have to buy this silver chip by yourself! Bamboo chips, one taels of silver! Well, find someone to write some poems, poems, lyrics and so on. Talented and beautiful women? It's not okay without poems.
Su Zicheng looked at Li Xiaoyao silently. It turned out to be such a talented beauty!
"Look, is such an evaluation appropriate?" Li Xiaoyao asked with a smile, and Su Zicheng nodded: "The matter of Fengle Building is up to you. Just ask Lv Feng not to fool around, and don't let the Lv family rest assured."
"Well, I know." Li Xiaoyao simply agreed, and Su Zicheng took the book and turned it over casually: "I heard that you are looking for a place to open a weaving workshop?"
"Well, I have found a place. Near the Xianren Bridge in Beicheng, it's less than ten mu. Now I can't use such a big place, but it's really cheap. I asked Zhang Gouzi to buy it. There are more than a dozen old houses that can be used first. It's enough to build a few more rooms in the spring, which is enough for the time being." Li Xiaoyao replied in detail, and Su Zicheng seemed to be distracted. He gently patted the account book with his hand and said, "Your red flowers are directly from the account. I told Changzhi that since you enter the house to work, you can pay 1,000 taels of silver a month. According to the rules, you can advance up to half a year. If you are short of silver••••••" P>
"That's almost it!" Li Xiaoyao raised his eyebrows and interrupted Su Zicheng with a smile: "The weaving workshop has just opened, and it has just been a trial weaving in the past few months. I told the three masters that either there will be no silk. If it will come out, it must be a top work. I almost don't want it. I will use silver in the future. I will think of other ways."
"What do you think of?" Su Zicheng asked warily. Li Xiaoyao tilted his head and looked at him and said with a smile, "There are many ways to find someone to buy a stock or something..."
"Tell me if you are short of money! I'll lend it to you! If you don't buy a stake in such a little business, don't think about those fancy ways. Su Zicheng frowned and said, Li Xiaoyao bent his eyes with a smile and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I'll borrow it from you if there is a shortage of money later." Su Zicheng subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, walked twice behind his back, looked at Li Xiaoyao and whispered, "Taiping Prefecture sent a letter yesterday. On the day of the winter solstice, the court of the State of Wu issued an amnesty."
Li Xiaoyao was stunned: "Wu's three-year gift, the next year should be next year. Why is the amnesty this year? Did they all follow the rules of the New Year?
"That's not it." Su Zicheng frowned and replied, "Only an amnesty has been issued. According to reason, this amnesty is not common, and there are often exceptions, but there must be a reason, or begging for blessings, or celebrating, this amnesty," Su Zicheng said, took a roll of paper from the case and handed it to Li Xiaoyao: "Look." Li Xiaoyao took a closer look, looked up at Su Zicheng, and asked abruptly, "What kind of person have you seen Concubine Wu?"
"Be cautious and shrewd and fierce, it's not in vain." Su Zicheng frowned and said solemnly. Li Xiaoyao gently folded the paper, looked at Su Zicheng and then asked, "Where is the eldest prince? Where is it now?
"I rushed back to Taiping Mansion the day before the Winter Solstice!" Su Zicheng suddenly stopped walking, turned his head and looked at Li Xiaoyao, with a bright light in his eyes, and said with a smile, "It must be Wu Huang who is seriously ill!" This amnesty should be issued by Wu Guifei. The sixth son of Wu Guifei is only 16 or 17 years old. It is best for Wu Huang to hold on for a few more years! It is most beneficial to their mother and son!" Li Xiaoyao nodded and agreed, "The eldest prince must have got the letter, so he left his soldiers and horses and rushed back to the Taiping Mansion. He was afraid that if he was not there at the critical moment, it would be a big deal if he was dropped." Su Zicheng smiled, thought for a moment, and raised his voice to call Nanning in and ordered, "Tell him to send a letter to the Taiping Mansion, keep an eye on the Wu Palace and the eldest prince, and pay careful attention to any unusual things in Wu's New Year's Eve, New Year's Day greetings and other gifts, the sooner the better!" Nanning answered and turned around and ran out to find a long-term message.
Li Xiaoyao looked at Su Zicheng who turned around and whispered, "Let people protect some big princes. Taiping Mansion is under the palm of Wu Guifei. If there is only one family, no matter who takes over the throne, it will be better than today's Emperor Wu. The two families are evenly matched, and the eldest prince can't make mistakes. Su Zicheng turned his hands behind his back, frowned and thought for a moment, and nodded: "You're right." After saying that, he called Beiqing in and ordered him to go down. He walked to the door of the main house and saw Beiqing rush out of the hanging flower door before turning around and looking at Li Xiaoyao sighing gently: "Wu Guifei is very resourceful. The court of Wu has made her manage her over the years. Even in the court, there are many ministers who obey her orders. We There are too few letters you can get!"
"Hmm." Li Xiaoyao answered in a low voice and said with concentration, "The eldest prince should not delay in the Taiping Mansion. It's better to go back to the army as soon as possible. Emperor Wu's body doesn't know what to do. After all, he is old..." Su Zicheng didn't know what he remembered. He stood in front of the window and looked out of the window behind his back.
"It's best to compete with each other. If this is not possible, it is necessary to choose one or the other. The best is Wu Guifei's mother and son. Wu Guifei's personality is strong. Such a person has tasted the taste of power, and it is extremely difficult to ask her to let go. If she refuses to let go, there is still something to do in the dispute between mother and son in the future, the eldest prince He is extremely tolerant. This kind of nature is the best way to achieve great things. It can't be underestimated. Li Xiaoyao walked to Su Zicheng and whispered. Su Zicheng nodded slowly and sighed regretfully, "In the bitter cold place of Beiping, the national strength is limited, otherwise it is a great time!"
Li Xiaoyao was silent and became ten thousand bones. How many white bones did this emperor's hegemony have to dry up? Li Xiaoyao turned his head and looked at Su Zicheng. When Tu Ning'an City, he was only fourteen or fifteen years old. Hearing that he was riding on a horse, he coldly watched Ning'an City turn into ashes! Li Xiaoyao's heart contracted. They were different from her. She couldn't look at this life with the morality of her life.
"I heard from Nanning that Li Erhuai and Zhang Tiemu were married in March?" Su Zicheng easily changed the topic. Li Xiaoyao shook his head slightly, threw away those useless ideas, and replied with a smile, "Yes, it's almost ready, and Jiang Shuncai. There are three happy events in total. There are also many happy events in the village outside the city. This year, five married their wives and became a family, all of which were all blessed by the prince. Sister Zhang came back from Zhuangzi and asked me to thank you on behalf of the big guy. Su Zicheng smiled and said, "For your blessing, where are your eldest brother and Miss Fan? Have you set the date yet?
"Not yet. Sister Fan will not be discharged until the twelfth lunar month next year, and it will be the year after next." Li Xiaoyao replied with a smile. Su Zicheng looked down at Li Xiaoyao and said with an emotional smile, "It's their blessing to have you as a sister."
"Well, I think so!" Li Xiaoyao nodded rudely and agreed, and Su Zicheng laughed out loud.
