"Madam, did you agree to invest money for him?"

In the small building by the pool in Kunming, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Hu sat on the second floor, looking out at the vast lake.

Aside, the beautiful maid was cooking tea, and the fragrance of tea was everywhere.

Mrs. Hu glanced at Mrs. Li, and her eyebrows were full of charm.

She whispered: "Why, are you feeling distressed and you have lost a way out of money?"

Mr. Li suddenly showed a look of embarrassment and said softly: "Madam, you know that I don't mean that. That kid is very unreliable. You don't even ask what business he wants to do, and just invest a thousand guan. I'm afraid that you will lose money in the end."

"Sanlang, you underestimate him too much."

"What?"

"Have you seen his face?"

"What's the meaning?"

"With his appearance, it is impossible for him to live beyond eighteen years old.

But now, he is full of vitality and becomes a strange man. Before he was eighteen years old, he was ordinary. But after he was eighteen years old, he seemed to have become a different person. There are few people like him who have made rapid progress in this world who do not open their own spirits.

Have you ever seen that in just half a lifetime, you can reach the eighth grade and close to the seventh grade level?

Think about Goro, who practiced Taoism since he was a child and went through various tests, but now he is only a fifth-grade alien. I remember that Goro had only reached the seventh-grade level for ten years after he was enlightened. At that time, you praised him for his extraordinary talent. But how old is this kid?"

Mr. Li was stunned and frowned and looked at Mrs. Hu.

"Madam means, is that boy weird?"

"Hehe, look at what you said, who in this world can still have some secrets?

Didn’t you be so weird back then? But my mother didn’t want your life, but instead betrothed me to you. Sanlang, I have my own personal fate, that kid is not a bad person. Even if I’m not a weird person, what’s the harm in making a good relationship?"

Mr. Li smiled awkwardly, "What the lady is saying."

He paused and suddenly said, "But that's one thousand cents after all."

"Hehe, when Zou Luotuo was not yet rich, he was just a boy selling steamed cakes in Huaidefang. I didn't blink and gave him eight hundred coins without blinking. Now Zou Luotuo is the richest man in Chang'an. Even your Tiankang praised him and gave him an eighth-rank literary official. And Aunt Yu, when I gave her money, she didn't ask her what business she wanted to do. But now, she is the largest maritime merchant in Quanzhou, and there are dozens of maritime ships under her name."

Mr. Li, shut up.

He has always admired his wife's investment vision.

Everyone thinks that Li Jing’s contribution to the current reputation of the Three Yuan Li family is credited with Li Jing.

But in fact, without Mrs. Hu, even if Li Jing was the God of the Tang Dynasty, the Li family would not be able to reach its current level.

To manage such a big business, a lot of investment is required.

Look, Li Keshi is not doing his job every day, he is also a hawk and a bird walker. If he only relies on the salary and rewards of the court, it is probably difficult to support it. Of course, the Li family in the Third Court was considered a nobleman of Guanlong, but in terms of his background, he is not particularly profound. Although Li Jing was the Duke of Wei, he was after the Tang Dynasty. His grandfather was the governor and his father was the prefect. However, after he entered the Sui Dynasty, he was able to successfully enter the officialdom with the help of his uncle Han Qinhu. Moreover, he was just a Gongcao of Chang'an.

It can be seen from this that the Li family’s family’s background is not rich, and it is far from the foundation of those Shandong families.

When Li Jing surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, his life was not smooth.

It was not until later that Mrs. Hu married into the Li family and brought a generous dowry.

Since then, the three brothers of the Li family have worked hard outside, and almost all Mrs. Hu is in charge of the family.

Her several investments have made great returns. As mentioned earlier, Aunt Yu and Zou Luotuo can bring me more than 200,000 yuan in dividends to my Li family every year. It is precisely because of this that Li Keshi was so happy after retiring.

"Madam really thinks that boy can do it?"

"How can we know if we don't try it? Even if we fail, it's only a thousand coins. We can't afford to pay it?

But if it succeeds, it may be the second Zou Luotuo. Our family can make up for another income. Next time you go back to your parents' home, you will be able to stand up even more. In short, you just do your big things and you don't have to pay attention to these small things."

Mr. Li nodded repeatedly and agreed with the wife's opinion.

But no one knows what he was thinking.

That's one thousand guan... Even if you can get one hundred guan, you can still show off in front of those old people when you go to Chang'an next time.

With a gentle sigh, he took a cup of tea from the beautiful maid and took a sip.

"Madam, can you transfer some people from Poyang Lake?"

"What to do?"

"The Lord of Yingmao is not in Guanzhong now, I am worried...

Once Lanchi reappears, the war between humans and strangeness will inevitably rekindle. The enemy is in the dark, I am in the light, and the undercurrents in the court are surging, and I am worried that once the situation is out of control, the world will be in chaos. If that is true, I am afraid that life will be devastated again."

"How long has the Lord of Yingmao left?"

“It’s been three months!”

"That's probably coming back soon, don't rush to act rashly.

My Hu family withdrew from Zhongnan and stayed away from Guanzhong. I had an agreement with Yinghuo Xingjun. If I did not agree to Yinghuo Xingjun, I would not be allowed to enter Guanzhong. It is easy to transfer people to me, but I was afraid that it would stimulate Guanzhong and cause unnecessary trouble.

In this way, I wrote a letter to my family and dispatched hundreds of people to gather in the Hanzhong area.

Once there is a change in Guanzhong, let them come to Chang'an. But if you can control it, it is better not to act rashly."

Mr. Li thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

He stood up, walked to the railing, holding the railing with his hands, and said nothing for a long time.

"Sanlang, is it really that serious?"

"They are all the bloodlines of the late emperors, but they insist on killing each other.

Although the old Yin Man is kind-hearted, he is too sinister after all. He can solve the problem openly, but he insists on using means to lure the King of Wu into the bait. If this is not done well, it will be another disaster. It will be of no benefit to the Li Tang Dynasty."

Mrs. Hu walked to Mrs. Li and comforted him: "Sanlang, you have finally escaped from that court now. If you have free time, don't think about those intrigues. As long as we keep the Kunming Lake and complete the instructions of the late emperor and the second brother. As for other things, don't worry about it. Let them fight, fight back and forth, it has nothing to do with us."

Master Li nodded and sighed.

On the Kunming Pool, the wind and clouds were surging, and the water mist was filled with water, which seemed even more bizarre.

...

Before we knew it, autumn goes and winter comes.

As October begins, the weather is getting colder and colder.

The coldness of winter covers Chang'an City.

People thickened their clothes at the same time and began to prepare to welcome the arrival of the severe cold.

In Fengyifang, the lights are brightly lit.

Tall dragon sat in the gambling house, showing a solemn expression on his face.
