Looking at the British father's back that was obviously hunched over, he couldn't help but sigh.
Since they are all high-ranking princes enjoying all the glory and wealth, and they are so old, why don't they understand when enough is enough?
After the last incident in Juyuan, he found an excuse to promote Li Qiao.
His attitude is already so obvious.
If it were other ministers, they would have understood what he meant and frightened Lu Wenrong and taught him a lesson.
But the old prince still indulged Lu Wenrong and allowed Lu Wenrong to cause trouble.
As a minister, you must be self-aware.
Li Qiao scolded him well.
It's a pity that he still didn't wake up the old prince.
well.
I hope Li Qiao's mouth will be more vicious and his attacks more ruthless next time.
He couldn't chill the old minister's heart, so he couldn't take action, but Li Qiao, a proud man who was young and energetic and couldn't stand anger, would take action when it was time to take action!
Chapter 123 Li Qiao is provocative again. What gender is she?
Li Qiao and Tao Zhu ate, drank medicine, and then fell asleep.
Of course, because the British business was pressing on them, neither of them slept well.
Li Qiao was furious at the time and felt that Sheng Hong had already had a problem with the British public, so he scolded the British public.
But Sheng Hong's attitude was just his guess.
What if Sheng Hong felt that he had gone too far this time.
So he thought about it all night.
When it was time to go to work on weekdays, he got up as usual, but he didn't plan to go to work. He wanted to stay at home and see the doctor for Tao Zhu's diagnosis and treatment.
Just as he was about to ask Li Dao and Li Jian to go to the Hanlin Academy to ask for leave, there was a knock on the door.
It was still dark at this time, the door was open, and there were several lanterns placed at the door, which illuminated the door fairly well.
Therefore, Li Qiao could clearly see the appearance of the person coming while standing in the yard.
He was a little surprised and walked over quickly.
The person who came was actually one of the guards of the Seventh Prince whom he had seen in Juyuan that day.
Before Li Qiao came closer, the guard saluted Li Qiao: "Tang Shi has met Mr. Li."
Without waiting for Li Qiao to speak, he took out an envelope from his arms. He held the envelope with both hands and said respectfully, "This is given to Mr. Li by the seventh prince."
When Li Qiao heard this, his expression immediately became respectful. He stretched out his hands to take the envelope: "I wonder what else the Seventh Prince has to say?"
"The Seventh Prince said, let Mr. Li act according to his heart."
Li Qiao was startled. Is this okay?
Is Sheng Hong still on his side this time?
After sending Tang Shi away, he immediately opened the envelope and saw the words on the envelope clearly. He was stunned again.
Last night the British Duke went to the palace to complain to Sheng Hong, but in the end Sheng Hong just sent the royal doctor to the British Duke's mansion?
this……
This really doesn’t bring face to the British public.
Just as he was imagining the angry appearance of the British gentleman, the slow sound of wheels and horse hooves came from the door again. He looked towards the door, and a moment later, a carriage stopped at the door.
The person who got off the carriage was none other than Qian San, the general manager of Ouchi.
Li Qiao was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to salute. The chief internal officer was a fourth-rank official in Dasheng, not to mention that Qian San was Sheng Hong's personal eunuch: "I have met Mr. Qian."
Others in the courtyard, including Tao Zhu, Li Dashan, Li Jian and others, also hurriedly saluted.
Qian Sansheng was quite wealthy, with dimples when he smiled. He held a whisk in his hand and was wearing a crimson round-neck robe. He raised his hand to signal the others to get up, and then smiled at Li Qiao: " Mr. Xiao Li, there is no need to be polite, we are here today because we have something important to tell you."
He emphasized the pronunciation of the word "important things".
Li Qiao was puzzled. If it was a decree or an oral instruction from the Holy Emperor, Manager Qian would definitely say so.
Now I'm just talking about the important things...
He turned sideways: "It's cold, please ask Mr. Qian to come in and drink some tea to warm up."
"Our family has to go back to the palace to serve the Holy Emperor, so I won't drink this tea."
Manager Qian shook his head: "Yesterday's conflict between Mr. Xiao Li and Young Master Lu Wenrong has been known to the Holy One. His Majesty's decision is that if you meet people from the British government in the future, you must salute according to your rank. Except for saluting, you can't say much. Don’t even stir up disputes, otherwise the Holy One will severely punish you.”
"Master Xiao Li, do you understand?"
"……understood."
The Seventh Prince's letter only said that Sheng Hong asked the British to declare silence, but there was no more detailed content.
Is this how Sheng Hong dealt with it?
Sheng Hong was not only on his side, Sheng Hong was on his side and slapped the British father hard!
He looked at Tao Zhu.
Tao Zhu hurriedly walked over, holding a banknote in his hand.
Tao Zhu knew this etiquette. When the saint's people came to the house, they had to put some money into them.
"Manager Qian, could you please make a trip in person? Since you don't have time to drink the official tea now, you have time, but you must make up for this cup of tea. It's cold, so you need to drink something warm."
With these words, Li Qiao took the banknote from Tao Zhu's hand and handed it to Qian San with a smile.
Qian San did not give in and took it with a smile. In fact, his salary was quite high. Because Sheng Hong was worried that he would secretly convey messages to others or deliver news to others, so he was given a salary of three thousand taels of silver every month. Shut him up.
However, one hundred taels is still a lot of money.
As expected of Li Baiwan, he is richer than the first-class nobles in Shengjing.
Putting the banknote into his arms, he added: "The Holy Father also said that Mr. Xiao Li was frightened yesterday, so he can rest at home for a few days before going to the Hanlin Academy to compile a book."
Hearing this, Li Qiao was immediately moved: "Your Majesty is so considerate of me, and I am so grateful that I am in tears. I originally planned to ask Mr. Du of the Hanlin Academy for a few days' leave, and wait until my husband gets better before going on duty."
"In addition, I also plan to find a few guards to protect the safety of the people in this courtyard."
"... Mr. Xiao Li has thought carefully. Since Mr. Xiao Li is busy with affairs, we will say goodbye."
Is this going to continue to slap the British public in the face?
Tsk.
I have to go back to the palace quickly and report it to the Holy Master.
After Qian San left, everyone in the courtyard breathed a sigh of relief. There was no longer the heaviness of yesterday, and everyone had a smile on their face.
Li Qiao also had a smile on his face. According to the plan just now, he asked Li Dao and Li Jian to go to the Hanlin Academy to ask for leave, and asked Li Gong and Li Nu, who was the new nursing home arranged during the second purchase, to ask for a doctor.
The doctor must call more times to confirm whether Tao Zhu's stomach is okay.
In addition, the dim sum shop and the duck shop were closed today, but he wrote two wooden signs with his own hands and asked Li Dashan and Li Ershan to hang them at the door respectively.
The content on the wooden sign is very simple. He is looking for heroes with strong martial arts skills to be the guardians of the Li family. They will provide food and accommodation for one hundred taels of silver a month. If he blocks a knife or other harm for the Li family, not only will the hero himself be liable for the rest of his life. Don't worry, he will also properly arrange for his family.
Li Qiao's idea is very simple. He wants to make this matter so big that everyone in Shengjing will know about it. In this way, whenever something happens to his family, everyone in Shengjing will know that it was the British government that did it. .
Of course, he also really wanted to hire a private bodyguard, and he was really worried about the safety of his family.
After all these arrangements were made, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu began to have breakfast.
Yesterday, the old doctor talked about some taboos for pregnant women and what they should eat. Meat, eggs, milk, fresh vegetables and nuts are essential, and fried and greasy foods should be eaten less.
Therefore, today's breakfast is not heavy on oil and water. It is all light. Even the stir-fry only uses a small amount of oil.
Tao Zhu looked at the rice on the table, which was not very oily, and felt a little embarrassed: "Well... how about we find a cook? He will cook for me."
He must follow the doctor's advice, but the whole family cannot be short of oil and water just because of him. But if we do two separate jobs, it would be a bit hard.
It’s not like the family has no money, so they can definitely hire a cook.
"That's a good idea!"
When Li Qiao heard this, he immediately started to think about it. Actually, he was not worried about the cooks hired from outside...
"Let's go to the Seventh Prince and ask him to find us an experienced and reliable cook."
He actually didn't want to ask for help, but when it came to Tao Zhu, safety was the most important thing.
"Would it be too much trouble?" Tao Zhu bit the tip of his chopsticks, hesitating.
Last time the Seventh Prince helped to rescue the siege in Juyuan, he had already repaid part of the life-saving grace, but the remaining part must be used in key areas...
"It doesn't matter, our family has nothing bigger than your health. I will go to the Seventh Prince's Mansion in two days."
Li Qiao's attitude was very firm.
"Okay." Tao Zhu couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
Yes, he gave birth to the child safely, that was the most important and critical thing for their family.
After breakfast, before dawn, Li Qiao helped Tao Zhu walk in the yard for a while, and then helped him back to the room.
The weather was cold, and as a pregnant husband, Tao Zhu had to keep warm.
But Tao Zhu was amused by Li Qiao's cautious attitude. He returned to the house and sat on the warm Kang. He repeatedly assured Li Qiao: "I really don't feel any discomfort. Before entering the hospital yesterday, I didn't feel any discomfort." There is nothing uncomfortable about anything strange, including now."
When he said this, Li Qiao's eyebrows immediately frowned: "During this period, you have put in countless worries about the dim sum shop and the duck shop. Moreover, if you think about it carefully, you were pregnant on the way to Beijing. ”
"You have been pregnant for three months, but you have not had a good rest during these three months."
Tao Zhu: "..."
right.
Counting the time, when he was pregnant, he was still bumpy on the road.
