Li Mansion, inner courtyard.
In Li Youwei's room.
Li Youwei and Hongzhu sat in front of the brazier.
opposite.
Li Ziye was dancing and spitting, talking about what happened these days.
As for Qin Grace, she had gone back to her room to rest early and didn't want to listen to someone's nagging.
However, with two audiences, Li Youwei and Hongzhu, it was enough for Li Ziye to perform well.
From the rising of the bright moon to the middle of the moon, the candles were almost burned out and Li Ziye had not finished speaking.
When it comes to talking skills, Li Ziye will never lose to anyone.
"It's so cold."
In the dead of night, when Li Ziye had almost finished speaking, he felt a chill on his body. He heated his hands on the brazier and asked casually, "Is it always so cold in the capital these days?"
"Today was pretty good."
Opposite the brazier, the red candle warmed the fire and said, "It has been snowing here in the capital for several days. Today it finally cleared up and became a little warmer. The past few days, it was so cold that it was unbearable."
"The weather this year is really weird."
On the side, Li Youwei said softly, "It's so cold that I don't even dare to break the brazier in the house."
"The same is true for Yingzhou."
Li Ziye's expression condensed and he said, "It seems that the cold winter that the Confucian leader mentioned is really coming."
"We are okay, just ordinary people, but we are going to suffer."
Hongzhu said softly, "Recently, the price of charcoal has been rising. How can ordinary people afford it?"
"Sister Youwei, does our Li family have a charcoal business?"
Li Ziye looked at the eldest sister in front of him and asked.
"have."
Li Youwei nodded and said, "However, there is no threshold for the Fotan business. There are many people who can do it. Our Li family does not have any advantage in this aspect."
"It doesn't matter, our Li family doesn't expect to make money from the charcoal business. It's too cold today. There's no way to keep warm without charcoal. In this way, we can supplement the price ourselves and sell the charcoal in stock to the people at a cheaper price." Li Ziye said softly.
"Um."
Li Youwei nodded and said, "However, it is easy to offend people by doing this. I will think of a solution."
"The eldest grandson's family."
Li Ziye suggested, "If we do this, we will offend people, but if we leave it to the Changsun family, no one will dare to say anything."
"The eldest grandson's family?"
Hearing this, a strange color flashed in Li Youwei's eyes, and she said, "It is indeed a good idea, just in time. Little brother, go and talk about it. The eldest grandson Nanqiao just sold a favor to our Li family not long ago. We can also take advantage of this opportunity. Return the favor."
"What kind of favor?" Li Ziye asked confused.
"I haven't had time to tell you about this yet."
Li Youwei said softly, "Brother, don't be impulsive after hearing this."
"What's going on?" Li Ziye asked, frowning.
"Let me tell you."
On the side, Hongzhu spoke up and said, "It's still about the Crown Prince Xuanwu. King Xuanwu and Concubine Shu wanted Emperor Shang to grant a marriage between Youwei and their good-for-nothing Crown Prince. When the Empress knew about this, they asked their eldest grandson Nanqiao to come to the mansion. He told us, so we owe the Changsun Mansion a favor."
"It's him again!"
Li Ziye heard it, and his eyes were full of murderous intent, and he said, "It's really a ghost."
"Brother, I have already thought of a solution to this matter, so don't worry too much."
Li Youwei saw the anger in the eyes of the younger brother in front of her and advised.
"any solution?"
Li Ziye came back to his senses and said in a deep voice.
Li Youwei hesitated for a moment and said truthfully, "Let the Confucians come to Li Garden to propose marriage. Fa Ru and the Confucian leader have already agreed."
Li Ziye looked startled when he heard this.
"There is no other way."
On the side, Hongzhu said helplessly, "Otherwise, this matter will always be a hidden danger."
"Sister Youwei."
Soon, Li Ziye came to his senses and said with disbelief, "It can't be Little Red Riding Hood, right?"
"Who else could it be but him?"
Hongzhu said angrily, "Youwei doesn't know other Confucian disciples either."
Li Youwei remained silent and did not speak, taking it as acquiescence.
"Sister Youwei, do you really like Little Red Riding Hood?"
Li Ziye's expression became serious and he said seriously, "Friendship is friendship. Major matters in life cannot be compromised. You must think twice before deciding on such a matter."
"At least, I'm not annoying." Li Youwei said softly.
"it's OK?"
Li Ziye looked sad and said, "Sister Youwei, do you like your answer or don't you?"
He didn't want Sister Youwei to force himself for the sake of the Li family. Although the court was troublesome, it was not impossible to solve it.
You should be cautious about important matters in life.
"have no idea."
Li Youwei shook her head slightly, she was not sure either.
"Boy Ziye, don't ask."
On the side, Hongzhu said, "No matter what, Little Red Riding Hood is better than Prince Xuanwu, and I can see that Little Red Riding Hood likes Youwei."
"Um……"
Hearing this, Li Ziye clenched his fists hard, with a dangerous smile on his face, and said, "It seems that I need to talk to Little Red Riding Hood about life!"
"You go to Changsun Mansion first to talk about Huo Tan."
Li Youwei said calmly, "By the way, I would like to thank the eldest grandson Nanqiao and the empress for their kindness."
"All right."
Li Ziye came to his senses, nodded and said, "I'll go tomorrow."
"Thank you, I will prepare it for you before you leave tomorrow."
Li Youwei said softly, "Okay, it's already late. Go back to your room and rest. Don't delay tomorrow's business."
"Well, Sister Youwei, Sister Hongzhu, you should also go to bed early."
Li Ziye said something and stood up to leave. When he turned around, a dangerous light flashed in his eyes.
Little Red Riding Hood, wait until brother frees up his hands, I can kill you!
"A sneeze."
Taixue Palace.
In a simple room, Bai Wangyu, who was about to take a rest, sneezed and looked confused.
Caught a cold?
The next day.
Early in the morning.
Li Ziye got on the carriage and rushed towards Changsun Mansion.
"The Li family's legitimate son is back?"
It was at this time that most of the mansions in the capital received the news that Li Ziye had returned to Li Garden.
Changsun Mansion.
In the front hall.
A servant walked over quickly and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Mr. Li of Liyuan would like to see you."
"Master Li?"
When the eldest grandson Fengyu heard this, his expression was startled, but he immediately reacted and said in surprise, "Li Ziye?"
"It came pretty quickly."
On the side, the eldest grandson Nanqiao smiled and said, "I just returned home last night and am here today. It seems that I have something to talk about. Please come in."
"yes!"
The servant accepted the order and immediately turned around and left.
"Auntie, you guys talk, I'll withdraw."
The eldest grandson Fengyu stood up and was about to leave.
"What are you going to do?"
The eldest grandson Nanqiao scolded softly, "You are a prince of the royal family, how can you still be so shameless?"
"no."
The eldest grandson Fengyu smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not familiar with him, so staying here is boring."
"Don't you get along well?"
The eldest grandson Nanqiao said calmly, "We are all young people, so we should stay close to each other."
"Getting close? With that kid?"
When the eldest grandson Fengyu heard this, his mouth twitched. He really had no interest in getting close to a grown man.
When the two are talking.
Outside the front hall.
A young figure stepped forward.
The left arm in plaster was hung with a piece of cloth around his neck, which was very conspicuous.
In the hall, the eldest grandson Nanqiao and eldest grandson Fengyu looked startled when they saw the appearance of the legitimate son of the Li family in front of them.
What's going on here?
Who was beaten like this?
