Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 170 Elders

  Comparatively speaking, Zhong Xiaoxiao is much more well-behaved. Although he is reluctant to leave Li Xin, this little girl has gotten used to it after several previous separations.

   A packet of sweets, after a few words of coaxing, the little girl has nothing to say.

  After coaxing Zhong Xiaoxiao, Li Xin glanced at Mu Ying who had been following behind him, and coughed: "Can Brother Mu cook?"

   The dark-faced Mu Ying glanced at Li Xin suspiciously.

  Li Xin originally wanted to keep him to protect Zhong Xiaoxiao, but then he thought that the identity of this guy was a bit dangerous, so he shook his head: "Forget it, Brother Mu, you should go to the north with me."

   Originally, Zhong Xiaoxiao could live on Jiuniang's side, but after all, the Deyi Building is the place of fireworks. It's okay to live in the Deyi Building once in a while, but it's not good to live there all the time.

   If you live for a long time and grow up, you will be scolded by outsiders as a woman who grew up in a brothel.

   Cui Jiuniang also realized this. Recently, she has not picked up the little girl again, but when she is free occasionally, Jiuniang will bring something to look at Zhong Xiaoxiao.

  Li Xin is not in the capital, there is only a little girl left in this family, which is definitely not possible.

   After thinking about it, I can only ask a few people from the Seventh Prince to come over to help, but the little girl recognizes her life, and it is estimated that she will not get along with strangers.

  Headache...

Forget it, let the Wei Wangfu send a few people to protect this girl, find a cooking mother-in-law to get her food, and then say hello to Jiuniang and let her visit her often. The trip to the north will not be long, and I will be back in a month or two.

   After a few words with Zhong Xiaoxiao, Li Xin returned to the yard and smiled brightly at Mu Ying: "Brother Mu, do you know what is the most famous place in the capital?"

Mu Ying has lived in the southern border all his life, so naturally he doesn't know what the capital is like. In fact, because of his accent, in the capital these few days, his activities are limited to Li Xin's home, Qinghe Princess Mansion and Yulinwei. Daying, I have never been anywhere else.

  Mu Ying shook her head honestly: "I don't know."

   "Ten Mile Rouge Qinhuai River!"

   Li Xin patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "Come on, brother will take you to Qinhuai River to be happy today."

   Although Muying is only in her early twenties, she has already married and has children. She is no stranger to this kind of thing. Wen Yan, an honest person, said a little embarrassedly: "It's not good to let Li Xiaowei spend money?"

   Li Xin laughed: "Don't worry, I'm not bragging, I never have to spend money to go to Qinhuai River!"

   This sentence is true. Li Xin has been in the capital for more than half a year, and he has visited the Deyi Building at least dozens of times, not once for money. The first few times even made money.

  …………

   On the third floor of Qinhuaihe Dayi Building, Mu Ying looked at Li Xin with a depressed expression.

   This guy actually came to the brothel for tea!

   Li Xin and Cui Jiuniang sat opposite each other across the tea table, and Mu Ying was sulking outside the private room because they were not familiar with each other and did not come to the table.

   It was broad daylight and the girls in the Deyi Building had not yet gone to work. Li Xin just wanted to spend money for him, but he had nowhere to spend it.

Li Xin lowered his head and took a sip of tea, then said slowly: "It's roughly like this, at most four or five days, I will leave for business in the north. During this time, Xiao Xiao lives at home alone, and Sister Cui can go when she has time. Look at her, lest he be alone at home thinking about it."

   Jiuniang nodded: "Okay, I will visit her when I have time."

   She stretched out her hand, added a cup of tea to Li Xin, and said softly, "Young Master Li, after you leave, what should I do with this wine business?"

   "In these four or five days, try to sell the first batch of wine, or bid as last time, and the one with the highest price will win."

   Li Xin said solemnly: "As for the future wine sales, the price should be set at half of the bidding price. Remember, only twenty jars of wine will be sold every month, and one more jar should not be taken out often."

Twenty jars of wine a month are just over 200 jars in a year. Even if one jar of wine can make two or three hundred kangaroos, it’s not much when added together. The purpose of Li Xin’s doing this is to make The name Zhurongjiu is out, and after a few months, you can try to open wine shops all over the country to sell wine.

   At that time, it is time to make real money.

   Jiuniang nodded and asked, "What should I do if some dignitaries insist on buying or demanding?"

   "The reporter will report it to the official and let the people from Jingzhao Prefecture handle it."

After Li Xin coughed, he continued: "If you come across someone like Prince Qi's mansion or the mansion of Chen Guogong who is not easy to offend, I will send them a few jars every month, and send five jars of wine to Chen Guogong's mansion every month. Don't forget to collect the money."

   Chen Guogong, Ye Sheng, is a living fossil of the military in Dajin. It is natural to please a boss of this level if he can please him.

   Cui Jiuniang frowned slightly.

   "Since it was given to Duke Chen's mansion, why do you still need to collect money?"

Li Xin raised his head and glanced at Cui Jiuniang, his voice was calm: "If there is a smart person in Chen Guogong's mansion, if you don't take money, you can't give wine, they won't let themselves fall into the hands of others, they will take the money when they should, and end it. It's just a good fate, there's no need to force it."

   Jiuniang pondered for a while before trying to understand the key point. She looked up at Li Xin and sighed faintly.

   "I was a little unconvinced when I heard other people say that women have long hair and short knowledge. Now, after hearing what Li Gongzi said, I feel that my eyelids are indeed shallow."

   "It's not a matter of whether the eyelids are shallow or not."

   Li Xin smiled and said, "It's Sister Cui who has a pure heart. She just doesn't think about these twists and turns. In fact, these things are nothing special. It's very tiring to get along with everyone."

   Jiuniang shook her head and said, "Young Master Li is too modest."

Li Xin picked up the tea and took a sip: "The business of selling wine is roughly the same process. Sister Cui sells it in the capital first. After two months, I will come back from Beidi and discuss the following matters with His Royal Highness Wei Wang. ."

   Cui Jiuniang nodded: "I wrote it down."

   After the two said some more specific details, Cui Jiuniang glanced at Mu Ying at the door and lowered her voice.

   "Young Master Li, now... the Marquis of Pingnan will not harm you anymore?"

When Li Xin first entered the capital, the situation was very miserable. At that time, Mrs. Yu from the Pingnan Hou Mansion sent someone to say hello to Deyi Lou, asking him to stop doing business with Li Xin, and sent someone to burn Li Xin's house. room.

  From Cui Jiuniang's point of view, Li Xin's miserable past was all because the Pingnan Houfu harmed him.

Now more than half a year has passed, and the young man who was selling charcoal is getting higher and higher. Gradually, Cui Jiuniang has a hard time seeing Li Xin's back, but Jiuniang has been thinking about this issue in her heart, worried that the Pingnan Houfu will attack again. he.

   This does not involve the love of men and women, but more like the concern of an elder to a younger generation.

   Li Xin was stunned for a while, then shook his head.

   "For the time being, they don't have any chance to harm me, but no one can tell what will happen in the future."

   Jiuniang sighed softly.

   "Master Li, can you tell me about your past?"

"OK."

   Li Xin smiled gracefully.

   "Once upon a time, in a village on the outskirts of Yongzhou, there was a girl of fifteen or sixteen-"
