After Qin Ming saw off Wang Gui and his party, he turned around and entered the Qin Mansion.
As soon as he stepped into the moon gate of the backyard, Qin Ming saw the old man with his back to him, sitting with Madam Zhang in the pavilion in the backyard, playing Go.
Sitting beside them were two concubines, Song Chunhua and Song Qiushi, who were all dressed up in fancy clothes.
Qin Ming was stunned for a moment when he saw this scene.
Is the sun coming out in the west? Usually at this time, isn't the old man fishing by the river?
Why are you so relaxed and elegant today?
Also, where did that girl Xiao Qingwan go? Why wasn't she here with the old man?
Oh, yes, maybe this girl is too thin-skinned to see these unsightly scenes in front of her!
Originally, Qin Ming wanted to go over and greet the old man, but he only got closer.
He then saw the old man's big hands moving back and forth on Chunhua's waist and hips, so Qin Ming immediately gave up the idea of going forward to salute.
While complaining in his heart, the old man ruined the atmosphere in his backyard, he was thinking about going back to the house and wondering if he should discuss it with Chang Xi!
It has been more than ten days since he returned home, and he is craving for meat!
With this thought in mind, he lowered his head and walked towards his small courtyard.
Qiushi, who had received Li Yuan's order long ago, saw that Qin Ming had no intention of coming here to say hello, so he quickly reached out and patted the back of Li Yuan's hand.
Li Yuan felt relieved and gave Qiushi an approving expression, then squeezed Qiushi's delicate little hand with his backhand.
Then he turned to look outside the pavilion. Li Yuan waved to Qin Ming and shouted:
"Brother Ming, come here."
Qin Ming stopped when he heard this, forced out a smile, then turned around, pretending to be surprised and said:
"Hey, old man, why are you here?"
Li Yuan crossed his hands on his chest and snorted:
"Why are you standing there in a daze? Why don't you come over quickly?"
Qin Ming hesitated for a moment after hearing this, then walked quickly to the pavilion, first saluted several people, then bent down and smiled at Li Yuan:
"Grandpa, didn't you go fishing today?"
Li Yuan said angrily:
"Hmph, you brat have the nerve to say that there is a "distinguished guest" in the house, but you don't even tell me and ask me to help you fight! Why, are you afraid that I will steal the spotlight from you, the man from Qin County?"
Qin Ming has become accustomed to the old man's "domineering and leaky" tone during this period!
The skill of Peng Ke has been practiced to perfection.
He didn't even need to raise his eyes to know that the old man was saying this just to show off in front of his two concubines!
"No way! Grandpa, you always think too much. What kind of distinguished guests are those people just now? They are just the stewards of a few aristocratic families in Chang'an City. There is no need for you, grandfather, to take action."
"Now, even His Majesty and the Queen must bow to you as juniors when they see you. With your current status, it would be a huge price drop to meet these little stewards! Don't you think so?"
After speaking, Qin Ming looked up and saw Li Yuan stroking his gray beard proudly.
And the concubines standing beside him all looked as they should, with honor, and as they should be.
Sure enough! As expected!
Although the old man's method of picking up girls is a bit rough, he can't help but it works!
When Li Yuan heard Qin Ming's words, he nodded with satisfaction and gave Qin Ming an appreciative look!
"Yes, yes, my grandson is right. Those people are not worthy of me personally taking action."
"Stop standing, sit down quickly, take a break and drink some tea."
After speaking, Li Yuan also winked at Chunhua.
Chunhua understood and immediately stood up and gave up her seat. At the same time, Qiushi also poured Qin Ming a cup of tea.
"Brother Ming, I heard from the maid in the front hall that the stewards of the Cui family of Qinghe, the Zheng family of Xingyang and the Wang family of Taiyuan are here together this time to buy from you the formula of cement for the house?"
Qin Ming nodded and said:
"Yes, the three of them did come to the house to buy the formula."
Li Yuan couldn't help but narrowed his eyes after hearing this, crossed his legs, and said with disdain:
"Now the cement road from Chang'an to Lantian County is being constructed so smoothly. In addition, in recent times, courtiers have been visiting the mansion."
"I think there will be many people who want to contract the construction of cement roads in the future, so the supply of cement will be indispensable."
"These companies do have vision, but they are just a little wishful thinking. Only a fool would sell such a good money-making business that can support several generations!"
After speaking, Li Yuan looked at the women around him and asked:
"Do you think what I said is true?"
Concubine Zhang Xian and the other three people all agreed upon hearing this.
Concubine Zhang Xian said:
"Alang's analysis is reasonable. Those three families are just like toads who want to eat swan meat and only want to do good things!"
Concubine Song De (Song Chunhua) hesitated and said:
"But they are wealthy people from aristocratic families after all. What if they use their family power to threaten Brother Ming?"
Concubine Song Shu (Song Qiushi) rubbed Li Yuan's shoulders and said disdainfully:
"Threat, hum! We have Alang in charge of our house. If we lend them some courage, they won't dare to mess around!"
While the three women were talking with disdain about the wishful thinking of the three families!
Qin Ming looked embarrassed.
Li Yuan noticed Qin Ming's expression, frowned, and interrupted the three women's conversation with a wave of his hand.
Then he pointed at Qin Ming and asked in disbelief:
"You kid, didn't you really sell the formula?"
As soon as these words came out, the three women opened their eyes wide and looked at Qin Ming as if they were looking at a fool.
Qin Ming was so frightened by these four pairs of eyes that he had goosebumps all over his body.
After hesitating for a while, he bit the bullet and nodded.
When Li Yuan saw this, he slapped the table and said angrily:
"I'll beat you to death, you loser."
After speaking, Li Yuan took off his shoes and greeted Qin Ming. Upon seeing this, Qin Ming quickly got up and evaded.
Seeing that this kid dared to hide, Li Yuan became even more angry. While chasing Qin Ming around the stone table, he pointed his shoe at Qin Ming and cursed:
"You coward! You dare to run! Just stop! Let me see if I don't beat you to death today, you loser!"
Qin Ming never expected that the old man would have such a big reaction! So while circling the stone table, he explained to Li Yuan:
"Old man, listen to my explanation!"
Li Yuan put his hands on his hips and said angrily:
"Explanation! What's there to say! This cement is not like that four-wheeled carriage. They bought it back and couldn't figure out the reason. You kid is usually as smart as a monkey and you don't know this!"
"While those three families haven't gone far, you kid, hurry up and call those bastards back to X! I want to see how courageous they are to covet X's property!"
"Rebellion against them!"
