When Li Laoer heard this, he immediately asked Zheng He and Zheng Feng to guard the door.
There is no rear window in this house, so there is no need to worry about someone eavesdropping from behind.
Li Laoer told Wang Zechen that he was looking for trouble with the Li family everywhere and made a stupid move to sabotage Baiyuan Garden. He exposed it on the spot and lost all face.
Finally, he added: "Nowadays, although there are Mr. Zhiheng and Mr. Wen in the court, Zhiheng is responsible for planting corn and potatoes and is often away from home. Mr. Wen is the censor. It is not easy to openly stand in line when something happens, and he has lost his neutrality. Fair.
"And you and Lao Si are on an expedition, and there must be no one in the DPRK to support you and speak out for you. So, I thought about getting a position of real power.
"It's a pity that I have no scientific examination and no fame, but Baiyuan Garden just opened, and I donated some food and medicinal materials to the Relief Department.
"I found that the Relief Department is like psoriasis on a person's head. It does not delay life and death, but is extremely ugly. , no one dared to touch it, but if it was well managed, it would be a good step forward, so I bravely took it.
"Although we have money and food allocated by the court now, we are still short of money. We still need to sell flowers every month to raise money and food to supplement some. However, things should get better before winter.
"At that time, I plan to take the old and young people from the Relief Department to the streets. Go out and clear the snow and do some simple chores. Of course, these are not the most important things. The most important thing is..."
Li Laoer stopped here. Lord Hou understood and said with a smile: "The most important thing is the omnipresent eyes! It is the reputation of the Li family for being kind and loyal among the emperor, the courtiers and the people!
Li Laoer immediately burst into laughter, "I knew the Marquis would definitely guess what I was thinking. " "
The Marquis nodded, raised his hand to refill his tea, and said in a low voice: "In fact, every wealthy family probably has manpower secretly. Even our family has several taverns or grocery stores in the market, and they can be dispatched at critical moments. use. "
After hearing the good news on the side, she suddenly realized that when she checked the account books in the morning, there were indeed account books for several taverns and grocery stores, but the shopkeepers did not come.
She was also surprised that such a small business only had a monthly profit of more than a dozen taels, so why did the Marquis Mansion There is also involvement.
It turns out that it is not to make money, but to serve as the eyes, ears and mouth of the Hou family...
Li Laoer was envious when he heard it.
The wealth accumulated by the wealthy family over the years has never been about gold, silver and industry, but more about connections. And the trump card.
Speaking of which, the Li family is really lucky. They
were able to win against the Wang family before. Firstly, Li Zhensheng's living evidence of crime was here, and the Wang family was irrefutable.
Secondly, the Li family had suffered from twenty years of hatred, which made the Li family feel free. Everything went wrong, causing uproar in the city. Even the emperor in the palace knew that it was impossible for the Wang family to do anything.
Thirdly, the Wang family also had to worry about the Marquis.
Therefore, due to various reasons, the Wang family was under the watchful eye of Li Li. The family beat back step by step, unable to raise their heads.
Otherwise, it would be extremely easy for a giant like the Wang family to cover up their own scandals and dispose of the Li family quietly.
This is also the reason why Mrs. Wang fell ill and Third Master Wang The root cause of the madness.
They were so frustrated!
It was like a lion facing a rabbit. It could kill the rabbit in one bite, but it couldn't bite it. Instead, it was kicked by the rabbit and turned into gray!
Even now, I have to endure this rabbit jumping happily in front of me every day...
The Li family has achieved an impossible victory, and the Wang family has experienced an impossible humiliation!
After thinking about these details, Li Laoer is really scared.
Ignorant people are fearless . !
Fortunately, he woke up and began to make up for the shortcomings of the Li family, and began to catch up, hoping to make up for these gaps as soon as possible.
The sheep were not dead, and he had already started to make up for it...
The Marquis drank tea slowly, and took another snack to put on. He didn't say anything when he reached the palm of the fat girl's hand, giving Li Laoer enough time to think.
The Li family jumped from a small peasant family to a powerful class. There were too many detours to go along the way, and they even had to bump into each other and fall. certain. In his opinion, the Li family has been lucky enough and worked hard enough, and the rest is just a matter of time, there is no rush.
Sure enough, Li Laoer figured it out, let out a sigh of relief, stood up and saluted Mr. Hou, "Thank you Mr. Hou, you must have protected our family secretly many times before."
Mr. Hou pulled him to sit down and said with a smile: "My family "No need to be polite. If I hadn't been rescued by your family, the grass on my grave would be three feet high now. This is because your family planted good karma and it bore good fruits here..."
After that, he rubbed his fat The girl's hair, remembering that the fat girl would trade with him when she couldn't speak, one hand of silver, the other of pills...
His smile became a little more warm and doting...
At this time, the family's love came to him. He brought the food on a tray in person.
Everyone helped to set it up, and my family didn't need to be polite, so they started eating with their chopsticks.
Jia Huan gave her sister half a bowl of vegetables, picked a piece of fish, and went back to the kitchen to get busy.
Jiayin called him and asked, "Second brother, are you going home tonight?"
Jiahuan shook his head and replied, "You can't get away from here. Let's go back tomorrow night."
Jiayin thought about her sister-in-law at home who was so happy that she was vomiting. Said: "Second brother, you'd better go home. My mother and I have thought up two new dishes, just in time to teach you and put them on the menu."
"Seriously?" Jia Huan was so happy, "Okay, okay, I'll give it to you tonight." Definitely go back."
"Don't forget to buy Chengnan Jiaji's pickled plums for your second sister-in-law. She likes to eat these recently." Jiayin reminded with a smile.
It made Jia Huan blush, but he still agreed, "Don't worry, I'll remember."
Li Laoer gave his niece a piece of meat, which he also loved, "Fu Niu'er eats meat and has lost weight recently. , Do you want your second uncle to go back and tell your grandma to cut off some of your schoolwork?"
"No, second uncle." Jiayin's mouth was oily as he ate, and while struggling with the braised pig's trotters, he responded vaguely, "Young men are not strong enough. Hard work, boss is in vain. I will learn these first, and later I will add painting and playing the piano. Yes, and martial arts!"
Li Laoer felt distressed when he heard this, and teased his niece, "You have to get up early to practice martial arts, my God. We'll start practicing when the lights go out!"
"Ah, so early?" Sure enough, Jiayin immediately backed down, "Then let's wait a few more years. If I don't get enough sleep, I won't grow taller!"
Li Laoer and Hou Ye They all couldn't help laughing.
This lazy girl has so many excuses.
The Marquis took a clean cloth from the table and wiped the lazy girl's mouth and hands. Thinking of the third princess in the palace, he said: "You must learn martial arts. At least when others bully you, you can fight back directly.
"It doesn't matter if you are injured or even killed, your foster father and family will naturally take care of you. But just remember, you must not be bullied or hurt, you know? ! "
If Mrs. Li and Tao Hongying heard these words, they would probably laugh and cry again and say that they have taught bad children.
Unfortunately, the person sitting next to them is Mr. Li.
He has the same idea, and he has told the children this way long ago. niece.
At this moment, he also said: "Like the last time we entered the palace, the queen locked you in a dark room, you should cry for dear life and let the entire harem know that the queen bullies children! No matter how hard it is to let the whole Xindu know about her embarrassment, it would be better for you to remain silent!
"Dark room? " "The Marquis put down his chopsticks immediately, and his face was as dark as ink.
Before, when the good news was mentioned, he talked about it lightly.
Ye Shan and Dongmei didn't follow them into the palace, and they didn't know the specific situation. Not so detailed.
So much so that Lord Marquis knew it now, and he said coldly: "It seems that the punishment I arranged for the Wu family is still light! "
