Chapter 685: The Qian Family of Fengzhou

Li Yi walked out of the medicine shop wearing a bamboo hat, carrying a bunch of things in his hands.

The fat man did not lie to him last night. When he handed over the silver bills to buy these medicinal materials just now, the clerk of the medicine shop took them decisively without even asking. Along the way, he also saw two "money houses" on the street.

The name of the money house is "money house". It seems simple and crude, but it is actually profound, because it is opened by a wealthy family named Qian. When talking about it with others, it feels like all the money houses in the world are his own...

The Qian family is very famous in Fengzhou City because they are rich.

Fengzhou City has a prosperous economy and there are many wealthy families. Among them, there are emerging families and families with deep heritage. The Qian family belongs to the former, and it cannot be newer.

It is said that the head of the Qian family was originally a poor laborer, but he unexpectedly became rich more than ten years ago. He started by moving ships and unloading goods for others, and then slowly started a small business, and then expanded his business step by step. In ten years, the wealth accumulated by the family has exceeded most of the so-called wealthy merchants in Fengzhou City.

Even if those aristocratic families with dozens or hundreds of years of history are included, the wealth of the Qian family can be ranked among the top five in the entire Fengzhou City.

In other words, in the entire Fengzhou, there are more people richer than the Qian family on one hand.

Although power and money have been inseparable since ancient times, the actual situation is that those who have power must have money, and those who have money may not necessarily have power, especially in today's era, businessmen are lowly, and the richer they are, the more they have to admit the ridicule and cold eyes of others.

The Qian family exists in this way.

Unlike those families that have accumulated wealth and reputation for dozens or hundreds of years, in the eyes of most people, they are just villains who are in power, landlords, and nouveau riche. They are not recognized by the upper class. Unlike in later generations, these people are the typical examples of successful self-employment, leading the trend of success studies, idols in the hearts of countless confused young people, and write a few books such as "Qian Naiji Success Studies", "Success Rules", "Success Chicken Soup"..., which can be sold out.

All this information was learned from an insider.

At that time, the insider was blocked by him in the corner. While shouting "Hero, spare my life", he shook up the story of the Qian family's wealth, and even the gossip that the head of the Qian family kept a concubine in a small building, and that Mr. Qian and a certain talent were suspected of having a long-yang fetish.

Before leaving, the insider also sincerely suggested that if you want to rob silver and go to the Qian family, go straight along this road and turn left. The one with the largest and most luxurious mansion and a silver lion at the door is it.

That was all he could find out politely. As for whether Mr. Qian got what he wanted yesterday, he still didn't know.

But it should not be too different from what he expected.

Yan Jidao's style of poetry was deep and gentle, and he was good at expressing emotions. His literary achievements were evaluated higher than his father Yan Shu, both in his time and in later generations. Even Su Shi didn't take him seriously. There were not many poems left, but they were all masterpieces.

Due to the problems of life, there were many chapters in his poems that sympathized with the fate of singing girls and dancers and praised their beautiful hearts. The style was sad and moving.

Which girl didn't have spring in her heart, which young woman didn't..., even singing girls and dancers must have a good man in their hearts, and because of their own status, they were more yearning for beautiful things and emotions. Unfortunately, due to their status and the times, most women could not get the happiness they expected. If this passionate and emotional "Partridge Sky" was spread, I don't know how many women's hearts would be hurt.

Li Yi didn't know whether those women were heartbroken or not, but he was feeling quite heartbroken now.

With the help of medicinal herbs, Miss Liu's body recovered quickly. This time, he gritted his teeth and spent 500 taels of silver to buy medicinal herbs of higher quality and longer age. If he could sell a few more poems, he and Miss Liu would be able to return home soon.

Half of the ten silver notes were gone in a short while. It's hard to find a rich man. Li Yi regretted that he should have left a contact number yesterday. Although he knew where the Qian family was, he couldn't go to their house with a mask on like this...

Walking on the street with a bamboo hat, people would actually turn their heads back a lot. If it weren't for some people in the martial arts world who often dressed like this, people wouldn't be too surprised to see it. I'm afraid they would be invited to have tea by the patrolling soldiers in a short while.

At a certain moment, a man with a bamboo hat walked into a deep alley. Not long after, a young man walked out from the other side of the alley.

Li Yi looked at the sky. He was delayed on the road for a while today. He had to go back quickly to cook for Miss Liu.

Fanglinyuan was just in front. When Li Yi walked over, he said hello to Lin Yong who was leaning against the door, walked to the small courtyard on the side, and knocked on the door gently.

Today, Miss Liu Er took a long time to open the door. Li Yi looked at her suspiciously, pointed at her face, and asked, "What's wrong with you? Didn't you wash your face when you got up this morning?"

Miss Liu Er's expression was a little unnatural. She stretched out her sleeve to wipe it and said, "Go wash your hands and eat."

"Did you go out to buy food?" Li Yi walked into the house and said, "Didn't you say you would wait for me to come back? You are not well yet. It is so dangerous outside..."

He looked at the unknown object on the table, looked up at Miss Liu Er, and asked, "This..., where did you buy this food?"

"Eat it or not..." Miss Liu Er glanced at him and turned back to the room.

Li Yi stretched out his chopsticks and picked up the paste in front of him. He vaguely recognized that this should be vegetables. As for the other dish, it can only be said that he was not knowledgeable enough.

Then he looked at the rice... Forget it, I can't bear to look at it anymore.

This was obviously made by Miss Liu Er. No wonder her face was black and white just now, and she was wearing an apron around her waist...

Other men are working hard outside to make money to support their families. When they return home, women have already prepared a table of delicious meals for him...

Miss Liu Er is also waiting for him, waiting to poison him.

Just when Li Yi was at a loss in front of the unknown object on the table, Lin Yong walked in from the door with a smile and said, "Brother Li, are you eating..."

"Brother Lin hasn't eaten yet?" Li Yi looked up at him, stunned for a moment, and immediately said, "Sit down and eat together."

"This is so embarrassing."

Lin Yong rubbed his hands and sat down opposite Li Yi embarrassedly.

He looked at Li Yi in surprise, and always felt that Brother Li seemed very enthusiastic towards him today...

Li Yi handed him the chopsticks and said with a smile: "Don't be polite, there are more dishes today, Brother Lin can eat as much as he wants!"

"Haha, then I really won't be polite!"

Lin Yong took the chopsticks, laughed, and asked: "Where is the food, hasn't it been served yet? Brother Li, please sit down, I'll go and serve it."

He glanced at the table inadvertently and asked in confusion: "What is this?"

"This is it." Li Yi looked at him and said sincerely.

"What is it?" Lin Yong looked puzzled.

Li Yi pushed the two dishes over and said: "I have already eaten outside, Brother Lin, you don't have to be polite, do you want me to help you get two more bowls of rice?"

Lin Yong looked down, finally realized something, and his face changed.

...

"Haha, I'm so embarrassed to eat here every day, Brother Li." Lin Yong put down his chopsticks, strode out, and said apologetically: "I suddenly remembered that the young lady had something to ask me just now, I'll go ask her first..."

"It's okay."

Lin Wanru walked in from outside, looked at him and said: "The shop is not too busy now, you eat your meal, I have something to ask Mr. Li."

She turned to look at Li Yi and said: "I wonder if Mr. Li can come over now?"

Li Yi stood up, patted Lin Yong on the shoulder, and said: "Brother Lin, food is precious, don't waste it..."

Lin Yong stood there, looked down at the table, and his face turned pale instantly.
