"Back to poverty again!"
Li Xiao walked out of Jin Fengluan Jewelry Shop with only five hundred taels of silver notes left on him.
Then he exchanged the five hundred taels of silver notes for silver, and all the money was spent.
After a busy day, it's already time.
The sun has not yet set, and the bright moon rises in the sky.
Occasionally there are floating clouds passing by, and the whole city is dim and bright, making it look particularly peaceful.
Li Xiao gained a lot today.
With two thousand taels of silver, I did something close to four thousand taels.
Among them, expensive medicinal materials are sold for free, and gold, silver, jewelry and other items are sold at a discount.
We are getting engaged soon, so these things are almost enough.
When he left the palace in the morning, Li Xiao sent someone to send a message to Li Xiongzhi in the salt field, asking him to come over.
The person who sent the message was the nursing home that Li Xiao paid for at Yahang.
There were six people, one of whom traveled between the salt field and Peiping to deliver the news.
These days, there are many young men looking for work, which is not expensive and is of high quality and low price.
Li Xiao found a table and sat at the appointed restaurant hall.
Ordered some snacks, drank tea and waited.
Of the five hundred taels he earned last time, Li Xiao asked Li Xiongzhi to take one hundred taels.
Let him buy a house in Peiping. Fortunately, he has a place to stay in Peiping.
If you have any problems, it's easy to find others.
But Li Xiongzhi was very happy.
Li Xiao knelt down on the spot, kowtowed three times, and expressed his loyalty again.
The remaining four hundred taels will continue to be placed with Li Xiongzhi.
Let him run the salt farm and keep good records of expenses.
Li Xiao deliberately cultivated him into his loyal lackey.
I waited for almost half an hour.
It was almost completely dark, and Li Xiongzhi finally arrived.
Li Xiao did let this boy buy a horse, but his riding skills were worrisome.
"Brother Xiao, I've kept you waiting for a long time. I'll rush here as soon as I hear the news."
Li Xiongzhi entered the inn dusty and walked beside Li Xiao. He smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm not very skilled in riding this horse. I almost fell down on the road."
"It's okay, just ride more and sit down."
Li Xiao waved his hand and said, "I'll tell you a few things."
Next,
He explained what he wanted Li Xiongzhi to do.
The main thing is to arrange some people.
On the day of the alliance, dress more festively and give the betrothal gift with gongs and drums.
In addition, prepare some large wooden boxes to pack the betrothal gifts and carry them to Prince Yan's Mansion.
Li Xiongzhi listened with his ears pricked up, fearing that he might miss something, so he kept those details in mind.
"Okay, Brother Xiao, I will definitely do it for you!"
Li Xiongzhi recorded what he wanted to do on paper.
"How's it going at the saltworks lately?"
Li Xiao asked again.
Li Xiongzhi chuckled and said: "The salt field is very good. Everything is admitted. According to your request, I have been working overtime day and night recently, and the overtime pay has been fully paid. With such a generous reward, these villagers are very law-abiding, and they work secretly and slyly. I also warned that no one dares to be lazy. I arranged for the five brothers of the Liu family to watch."
"good."
Li Xiao nodded.
"By the way, you come with me first and go to the cloth store to take out the cloth. In addition, these things are placed in your yard."
That's it.
Li Xiao moved all the betrothal gifts to the yard bought by Li Xiongzhi for storage.
The day after tomorrow was the engagement day, so he arranged for Li Xiongzhi to guard the house in the courtyard. Before taking it away, he told him that if there was a hair missing from the betrothal gift, he would need his head.
Li Xiongzhi vowed that even if he died, the betrothal gift would not be reduced by a cent.
Do it all.
It was already late at night when we returned to Prince Yan's Mansion.
After washing up, Li Xiao went to bed.
A deep sleep.
Early the next morning.
The first thing you do when you get up is to open the points mall.
[Items refreshed in the system mall today:]
[1. An attribute gift package. Consume 6,000 points. 】
[2. Proficiency in calligraphy. Consume 500 points. 】
[3. Shooting proficiency. Consume 500 points. 】
[Current points: 235,800 points. 】
"Clear the mall."
Li Xiao's eyebrows were raised with joy. It had been a long time since he had obtained a small attribute gift package. Today, he was quite lucky and he obtained a large gift package.
[Successfully purchased, the attribute gift package will be opened automatically, and you will gain one point each of strength, agility, and intelligence, which will automatically take effect. 】
[Calligraphy proficiency and shooting proficiency have automatically taken effect. 】
"Ah~~"
Li Xiao couldn't help but make a comfortable sound.
This gift package is so comfortable, it feels like you are soaking in a hot spring.
My whole body felt warm and lasted for a full minute.
At the same time, those calligraphy experiences and firearms shooting experiences naturally came into my mind.
The improvement was obvious this time. Li Xiao felt sticky, as if some impurities had been excreted from the body.
He quickly ordered his servants to prepare hot water and take a hot bath.
I took a comfortable bath.
Li Xiao looked at his appearance in front of a tall, exquisite bronze mirror.
The last time I looked in the mirror was when I first entered Prince Yan's Mansion.
The difference in comparison is huge, and Li Xiao's whole person has undergone a sudden change.
He is obviously taller and his muscles are tighter.
But it is definitely not the kind of big muscles that can be trained in the gym.
If I have to describe it in words, it's a bit like Bruce Lee.
Although he looks thin, it is actually because his body fat is very low, and he has a strong explosive power in his body.
The temperament has also changed a lot.
The change in temperament should be due to increased strength and full energy.
After moving his body for a while, Li Xiao felt that he had unlimited energy and his punches were like the wind.
"Open the properties panel."
[Host: Li Xiao]
[Strength: 12 (average 5 for ordinary people; 30 for first-rate warriors.)]
[Agility: 9 (average average of 5 for ordinary people; 20 for first-rate warriors.)]
[Intelligence: 8 (average average of 5 for ordinary people)]
[Current skills: Intermediate equestrian, intermediate archery, elementary shooting, elementary calligraphy. 】
[Current buff: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder;]
[Item warehouse: true love forever couple ring, toothbrush*1, black toothpaste*2, Sprite*2, Haidilao hot pot base*2, human albumin (small bottle), zippo lighter*1, ergonomic chair, Bluetooth Speaker, switch battery life version, syringe, amoxicillin*3, corn seeds*1000, hybrid rice seeds*1000. 】
"Strength 12, which is more than double that of ordinary people. No wonder I feel this way."
Li Xiao thought like this and picked out a piece of clothing to put on.
Since coming to Prince Yan's Mansion, the treatment has been continuously improved, and the tailor in the mansion has made tailor-made clothes for him, and he has made more than a dozen pieces of clothes alone.
For example, the dark blue cross-collar casual clothes Li Xiao is wearing now are made of silk material and decorated with auspicious cloud patterns. They look very good-looking and are much more handsome than those young men in costume TV dramas.
"If you go to make a movie, you should be able to kill a bunch of young people in an instant, right?"
After breakfast,
Li Xiao planned to go to Yong'an Pavilion, but he ran into Ma He as soon as he went out.
Ma He cupped his hands and said, "Master Xiao, are you going to find Princess Yong'an?"
Li Xiao nodded.
Ma He apologized and smiled: "Young master, we are about to get engaged. It would be best if we don't see each other for these two days."
In fact, Li Xiao has always overstepped his bounds. He said he was marrying the princess, but in fact he was marrying the princess.
In addition to the relationship between husband and wife, there is also the relationship between monarch and minister.
However, Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun obviously didn't care about this, which allowed Li Xiao to keep doing whatever he wanted.
In addition, the origin of Princess Shang originated from the Tang Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty no longer paid much attention to it.
The status of princesses in the Ming Dynasty was not as good as that in the Tang Dynasty. Many princesses, including Zhu Yuanzhang's own daughter, were married off, and some were married to commoners.
Of course, Li Xiao would not force anything, after all, the ancients paid attention to etiquette.
In ancient times, I can't say that I followed it completely, but at least I had to show respect.
Li Xiao suddenly became interested and waved to Ma He:
"So Ma He, let's study shipbuilding together when we have time?"
