Wang Wan was too lazy to talk to Huai Guzi and Li Xin, flicked his sleeves and turned around to leave.
Li Xin smiled behind him and said, "Brother Huai, look, your temper has gotten a lot worse after drinking fake wine."
Li Shui looked at Wang Wan who was walking further and further away and said, "He is just saying he is not convinced."
"But it's okay. Wang Wan will be convinced sooner or later."
After Li Shui finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something, turned his head and looked around, and said to Li Xin beside him: "Where is Mr. Qi?"
Li Xin also looked at it and said in confusion: "When I just left the political hall, I even caught a glimpse of him."
"Why can't I see him in the blink of an eye?"
Li Xin looked around, then suddenly pointed forward and said, "Brother Huai, look at the figure in front of you, he looks a lot like Mr. Qi."
Li Shui looked at it carefully and said, "What does it look like? That's him."
Mr. Qi knew that he had done something wrong and was worried about how he would face Huaiguzi in the next court.
By coincidence, Huaiguzi, Li Xin and Wang Wan started chatting.
Master Qi took the opportunity to walk past and left quickly, leaning against the palace wall.
Mr. Qi was planning to leave the palace quickly and then take a car back to his home, when he suddenly heard someone calling him.
Mr. Qi didn't want to look back at all. He would rather think that he was hallucinating.
But the sound was getting closer and closer, and the more familiar it seemed, Master Qi was startled.
Mr. Qi, who was still worried, was suddenly slapped by a big hand, and Mr. Qi almost knelt on the ground.
Lord Qi turned his head, looked at Huai Guzi and Li Xin panting, and smiled awkwardly.
Li Shui looked at Mr. Qi and said, "Sir Qi, why are you leaving so quickly? Can't wait to see my concubine at home?"
Li Xin frowned and looked at Master Qi, then looked at Li Shui and said, "Brother Huai, how can Master Qi be such a boring person?"
"Master Qi must have felt that he had done something wrong and wanted to go back home quickly to avoid it."
Li Shui smiled and said to Li Xin: "Brother Li, there's no need to make it so obvious."
Li Shui looked at Master Qi and said, "Master Qi, what did you do wrong?"
Mr. Qi is a face-saving and thin-skinned person. It was extremely embarrassing to be pointed out by Li Shui and Li Xin on the spot.
Mr. Qi's old face suddenly lost his composure and turned half red.
Mr. Qi hesitated and spoke incoherently.
Li Shui looked around, patted Mr. Qi on the shoulder and said, "Sir Qi, there are many people here, why don't we go back home and chat."
Mr. Qi looked at Li Shui gratefully and said, "Very good, very good."
Li Xin muttered behind him: "There are not many people like this."
Li Shui frowned, glanced at Li Xin, and said in a low voice: "Master Qi is a great Confucian after all. He loves face, so he obviously can't let go here."
Li Xin rolled his eyes at Mr. Qi in front of him and said to Li Shui, "Can't you let go now? Why didn't you see that you can't let go when I was delivering the wine privately?"
Li Xin muttered for a while, and the three of them gradually left the palace gate and drove to Qi Mansion.
After a while, the three of them arrived at the door of Qi Mansion.
Jia Da and Jia Er, who were standing at the door of Qi Mansion, were still whispering and exchanging gossip information just now.
If University Jia hadn't seen Mr. Qi's bicycle frame from a distance, the two of them would have wanted to get close to each other.
After all, gossip information is private and cannot be allowed to be heard by others.
Although the two of them were very close to each other, their voices were so loud that besides them, the third person could also hear them.
The two of them stood with bows and lowered their heads to welcome Mr. Qi back home.
Jia Da and Jia Er had sharp eyes and saw Huai Guzi and Li Xin next to Master Qi.
Li Shui smiled as he walked and said, "It seems that Master Qi's situation is indeed much better now than before."
Master Qi didn't know what Li Shui was going to say, so he asked, "Master Huai, why did you say this?"
Li Shui said slowly: "When I passed by the gate of Qi Mansion some time ago, there was no one around. Even the handymen guarding the gate had withdrawn."
"Now not only is the courtyard swept clean and tidy, but the land in front of the house is also tidy."
Mr. Qi smiled and said, "After all, this humble residence belongs to a scholarly family, so it must be clean and tidy."
"I used to feel that no one was coming to the humble house, so I removed the handymen at the door."
"Then I thought about it, as a doctor of the Qin Dynasty and a great scholar, if he is so shabby that he is not even a servant, it will not be a disgrace to himself, but also to the disgrace of His Majesty."
"After much thought, I found the two doormen again."
Li Xin smiled and said: "Master Qi really thinks about your majesty. If you really do what Master Qi said, then your majesty's face will probably not be shameful enough."
Master Qi could hear Li Xin's sarcasm and smiled without saying anything.
After all, now that I have made a big mistake and am on the wrong side, it is better not to care about other small things.
After the three of them arrived in the hall and sat down, Mr. Qi ordered his servants to serve tea.
After Master Qi took a sip of tea, he glanced up and saw Li Shui and Li Xin staring at him.
Mr. Qi was very embarrassed, and the atmosphere in the room was so deserted that you could hear a pin drop.
Li Shui coughed. He was still smiling one second, but then his expression changed.
Li Shui looked at Mr. Qi and said, "Sir Qi, we are in your Qi Mansion now, not in the Yizheng Hall, not on the street."
"I've given you enough face, now you can talk about it."
Mr. Qi trembled all over and almost lost his grip on the teacup in his hand. After putting down the teacup, he was just about to speak.
Li Shui was the first to say, "Master Qi, think carefully before speaking. Don't lie. If you tell the truth, everything will be easy to discuss."
"If you still lie to me, haha, you know my methods."
Mr. Qi was over fifty years old, so he didn't care. But when he thought about Wu and his son, he immediately gave in.
Mr. Qi swallowed his saliva, glanced at Li Shui and Li Xin, and said slowly: "To tell you the truth, I got carried away."
"That day, after Lu Yi developed the low-alcohol wine, he hurried to Shangjun Courtyard with a few bottles of samples."
"After I tasted the low-alcohol wine, and with Mrs. Lu Yihe's approval of the wine, I thought the wine had been developed and there would be no further changes."
"When I think about mass production and sale soon, I lose my mind with excitement."
"I get very angry when I think about my duties and being ridiculed by Wang Wan and those people on weekdays."
"I simply sent someone to send them a few pots of newly brewed low-alcohol wine. Don't they think this wine is not good and not worthy of development? They even think that developing this wine is unnecessary."
"Then just let them see the effect. After tasting it, they will be more attracted to it and even regret it."
Li Xin nodded and said, "Lu Yi hasn't even come back from Shangjun Courtyard, how can you be sure that this wine is qualified?"
Lord Qi looked at the frowning Li Shui and whispered, "I was negligent."
Li Xin said slowly: "If Brother Huai hadn't come up with an idea in a hurry in the Council Hall today, you would have really suffered a lot."
Li Shui nodded and said, "This wine is indeed unqualified. It is very similar to the wine in the tavern."
"I kept Lu Yi just to guide him and make improvements. Only the improved low-alcohol wine is suitable for promotion."
Lord Qi bowed his hands to Li Shui and said, "If it hadn't been for Lord Huai today, I probably wouldn't have been able to leave the political affairs hall."
Li Xin rolled his eyes and muttered: "It's good to know."
