Now those noble families and business houses have paid their deposits.
Ji Lie should deliver them the Drunk Immortal Brew as agreed.
So he held a banquet at the palace and invited these people to further discuss cooperation matters.
Ji Lie carefully put away the finished perfume, then opened the door and walked out.
"Your Majesty, you're out!"
Laifu came forward with a flattering smile.
But what greeted him was a blow to the head from Ji Lie.
"Oh... Your Majesty, what did you do wrong?"
Laifu covered his head and grimaced in pain.
"Who told you to put your left foot first when you meet Gu?"
Ji Lie rolled his eyes.
Laifu was dumbfounded. He stepped with his left foot first. Could it be that he had done something wrong?
But he didn't dare to talk back to Ji Lie, so he nodded and said,
"I remember, my dear! Your Majesty, the guests are already waiting in the lobby."
"Okay, let's go right away."
After taking a headshot just now, Laifu remembered it this time.
He cautiously took out his right foot, and just as he was about to follow Ji Lie, Ji Lie hit him with another headshot.
"The villain is using his right foot this time. Why did the prince hit the villain again?"
Laifu covered his head and looked at him full of grievance and confusion.
"I just want to knock you, can't I?"
Ji Lie glanced at him and said lazily,
"Who told you to talk too much and gossip with Xiu'er?"
"Your Highness, this is no wonder Xiaoren. It was Xiu'er who threatened Xiaoren, saying that if I didn't tell her, she would let Xiaoren raise pigs."
Laifu defended himself.
"You don't dare to offend her, so you dare to offend Gu Bucheng? If something like this happens again, Gu will send you to the palace directly."
joke.
Traveling back to ancient times, I still want to enjoy the three palaces, six courtyards and seventy-two concubines, flying in three groups and in various ways.
If you continue like this, won't there be fires in the backyard every day in the future?
Hearing Ji Lie's threat, Laifu was startled, and quickly nodded like a chicken drumming rice,
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will never say anything from now on..."
"That's pretty much it, let's go!"
Ji Lie walked toward the lobby with steps that he didn't recognize.
The guests in the lobby have been waiting for a long time.
Seeing Ji Lie's arrival, they all stood up to respond.
"I've met the prince!"
"You don't have to be polite, please take a seat quickly."
Ji Lie greeted everyone with a smile and immediately sat down in the hall.
When he sat down, his eyes fell inadvertently on Zhao Meiniang beside him.
Compared with before, Zhao Meiniang seemed to be dressed up carefully tonight.
Under the candlelight, her skin was like cream, her red lips were like fire, and her delicate facial features were particularly pleasing to the eye.
Although she was only wearing a plain dress, it still couldn't hide her mature and charming aura.
Among all the males, she stood out.
Although they didn't know the relationship between Ji Lie and Zhao Meiniang, Ji Lie was willing to hand over the business of Zuixianjiang to Zhao Meiniang. Everyone speculated that the two of them were already at odds.
Therefore, even though Zhao Meiniang was beautiful and fragrant, others did not dare to take a second look.
"Mei Niang has met His Highness."
Zhao Meiniang smiled sweetly and saluted Ji Lie.
Ji Lie came back to his senses and nodded in response with a smile.
He followed him and nodded to Laifu on the side, indicating that he was ready to serve the food.
After a while, the servants of the palace brought all kinds of delicacies to the table one after another.
In addition, Ji Lie also ordered people to prepare a large amount of Drunk Immortal Brew.
Everyone wanted to curry favor with Ji Lie, and Ji Lie also wanted to win over everyone.
The atmosphere of the banquet was quite lively as they drank and drank.
While Ji Lie and everyone were drinking, they finalized the specific details of the cooperation.
All the noble families and merchant houses added up to a total of eighteen.
According to the previous agreement, Zhao's Trading Company provided the Zuixian Brewing to eighteen companies at the price of six taels of silver per jar.
After getting the Zuixian Brewing, these eighteen companies can sell it at any price through their own channels.
But there is only one thing: they must not engage in malicious competition.
Everyone has no opinion on this.
Don't look at this area in Youzhou City, they can only sell it for ten taels, which means they can make four taels of silver.
But if Zuixian Brewing is transported outside the Great Wall, or southward to the capital or Jiangnan.
At that time, it is not impossible for a jar of wine to be sold for dozens of taels of silver.
"I am here alone, I wish you a prosperous business and abundant wealth! Cheers!"
Ji Lie raised the glass in his hand and drank it in one gulp.
Everyone also raised their glasses and drank it all in one gulp!
Seeing that the night was getting dark, several guests stood up and said goodbye.
Ji Lie also waved and asked Zhang Changde to arrange manpower to send them back.
Just as Zhao Meiniang stood up and was about to leave, she was stopped by Ji Lie.
"Mrs. Zhao, please stay."
Upon hearing this, the remaining guests winked at each other and stood up to leave.
After eating two head-shot chestnuts, Laifu became extremely sensible at this moment and immediately called his servants to follow him and leave.
But in the blink of an eye, only Ji Lie and Zhao Meiniang were left in the huge lobby.
Looking at Ji Lie walking towards her step by step, Zhao Meiniang felt that her lips were dry and her heartbeat was speeding up.
He... what does he want to do?
Could it be that you want to do something to yourself?
If that's the case, should you resist? Do you want to call?
But this is the palace, and even if I resist and scream, it will be useless...
It's better to follow him...
While Zhao Meiniang was thinking wildly, she saw Ji Lie walking up to her and taking out an exquisite jade bottle from her arms.
"Mei Niang, this is the perfume developed by Gu Gu, please take a look."
ah?
Zhao Meiniang was a little dumbfounded.
Combined with the intense mental activity I just had, it was like a peacock spreading its tail?
Looking at Zhao Meiniang in a daze, Ji Lie felt a little strange.
"Is there anything wrong?"
"As far as I'm concerned, Prince, there's nothing wrong with it."
Zhao Meiniang came back to her senses, smiled unnaturally, and took the jade bottle from Ji Lie's hand.
The moment their skins touched, Zhao Meiniang's heart beat faster.
She carefully opened the bottle cap and poured the perfume inside into the palm of her hand.
A strong jasmine fragrance suddenly spreads out!
Zhao Meiniang's eyes suddenly widened, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief.
"This...is this the perfume that the prince is talking about?"
"Yes, after several days of research, Gu has produced a total of four or five perfumes, including rose, osmanthus, lily and other types."
Ji Lie smiled and nodded,
"This is the one made from jasmine."
“Jasmine has a fragrant and captivating aroma that is warm, feminine and sensual.”
"For a woman like Mei Niang, if you apply it on your body, you can show your elegance and charm."
After hearing what he said, Zhao Meiniang felt as happy as eating honey.
