Li Shangshu smiled and said: "This time we can't go any lower, eighteen thousand taels."

"Gulu!" Xue Li drank so loudly that he must have been stimulated by Li Shangshu's words.

Xue Rou'er smiled and said: "Uncle Li is really a kind man. He knows that my niece is young and doesn't have much silver. This is eighteen thousand taels. Please take it."

Lin Yuyan smiled and said: "Girl, aren't you afraid that we will not acknowledge the money we took?"

Xue Rou'er smiled and said: "Aunt Li is joking. If Uncle Li were such a person, he would not teach Rou'er like this today."

Li Shangshu laughed heartily and said: "Brother Ling, you must train my niece well, and you will definitely do nothing wrong in the future."

Xue Li smiled and said, "This girl has learned a lot of weird things from her master in the past fourteen years."

Li Shangshu said in surprise: "Oh, I wonder which master she followed?"

Xue Li said: "Well, when she was born, an expert came and said that she would not live to be ten years old if she stayed at home, so she was given to the expert to take care of her. In fact, she only returned to the capital this year."

Li Shangshu said suspiciously: "But there was a lot of trouble in the city a while ago..."

Xue Li smiled and said: "Actually, the idea of ​​escaping from marriage was created by my director. The real Rou'er hadn't returned home at that time, so I had to make such a play."

Li Shangshu was unhappy when he heard this: "Brother Xue, it's your fault. Since she didn't come back, you shouldn't have agreed to Ling Muran's marriage proposal. Now that it's like this, isn't it ruining my niece's life?"

Qing Yu?" He already regarded Xue Rou'er as his niece and couldn't help but feel aggrieved for her.

Xue Li glared at Xue Rou'er and said: "Isn't it her? This was all her idea. She said she wouldn't come back until the marriage was settled. She also said she didn't want to get married so soon, but this ended up happening.

so."

Lin Yuyan smiled and said: "No wonder the young lady who went to make trouble that day had injuries on her face, but now she looks intact."

Xue Li said: "The woman that day was a maid in our house, a substitute for Rou'er. Later, her face was ruined, so I gave her a sum of money and sent her home. It made Brother Li laugh!"

Li Shangshu sighed: "Girl, listen to my uncle and stop fooling around. This good reputation is very important to the girl's family."

Xue Rou'er quickly said humbly: "Yes, yes, uncle taught me that." She never expected that Xue Li would lie for her, and he said it so logically that she almost believed it.

The old lady smiled and said: "See, you two are already brothers. It's a pity that we are low-level merchants and cannot be as good as Mr. Li."

Li Shangshu immediately said: "How dare you, old lady, you don't know that the emperor is now formulating a strategy to support business. It will not be long before the status of businessmen will be improved. Don't say that I, a small official, have reached a high level.

!Ha ha……"

Xue Li said with a smile: "Look at what Brother Li said, you're out of touch, aren't you? In the future, if you need me, you can just say it. I don't have this right, but I can definitely do it if I can make money by running errands."

This is what Li Shangshu was waiting for. In fact, there is no separation between officials and businessmen in the court. Which of those powerful officials is not supported by wealthy businessmen?

"Brother Xue, come on, have a drink!"

The two men exchanged cups, and Xue Rou'er said to Lin Yuyan: "Aunt Li, my mother's three-dimensional embroidery is very beautiful. Do you want to take a look?"

Lin Yuyan had long wanted to talk to Xue Rou'er alone, so she stood up and said, "Okay, they are drinking and we have nothing to do, so why not just go and see them."

The old lady also stood up. Lin Yuyan immediately went over and helped the eldest lady out, one on the left and the other on the right. Xue Rou'er grabbed Yu Xin and said, "Wait a minute, go to Jinxiu Pavilion to see if Yu Nu has eaten."

Yu Xin was startled when she heard this. After thinking about it carefully, she realized that this was a hint to her to go to Jinxiu Pavilion for dinner, fearing that she would also have a taste of this noble earth dragon, so she said happily: "Yes, Miss."

Xue Rou'er followed the old lady and the others to the Peony Pavilion. There was a large flat screen placed in the main hall of the Peony Pavilion, with a three-dimensional picture of peony wealth on it.

"Wow! It's so beautiful!" Lin Yuyan said in admiration.

The old lady smiled and said: "We Xueru are very handy. If you have nothing to do, you can always come and keep her company. If you are inconvenient to come out, let us Xueru find you."

Lin Yuyan immediately nodded and said, "Okay, thank you, madam."

The old lady just sat for a while and then went back. Lin Yuyan glanced at the eldest lady and hesitated to speak.

Xue Rouer said: "It's okay, just tell me."

Lin Yuyan knelt down to Xue Rou'er with a pop: "Thank you very much, Miss, for vindicating my father's case."

Xue Rou'er hurriedly helped her up: "Don't... you are the wife of the minister now. You are not what you used to be. You can't be like this. Besides, I didn't do much in that matter. I just gave Han Yu a direction."

Lin Yuyan smiled and said: "Okay, I know it's all your fault. Han Yu has told me. Without you asking the Fourth Prince to help secretly, this matter would not have been easily overturned."

Xue Rouer smiled and said: "Okay, don't say so much. Are you going to be wronged in the Li Mansion?"

Lin Yuyan's face turned red and she said, "No, I treat me better than before."

Xue Rou'er nodded and said: "This is natural. As long as you maintain a dignified and virtuous appearance, it will be useless even if those women fall out."

Lin Yuyan smiled and said: "Now, they are very afraid of me and don't dare to make trouble."

Xue Rou'er said: "I would like to thank you. Without you, the price of this house would not have been lowered."

Lin Yuyan said: "This is not to help you, because I know this is mutual benefit, and you will definitely benefit from us in the future."

Xue Rouer teased: "You are so smart, why not stop being a wife and follow me to make money."

The eldest lady smiled and said: "You girl, you are becoming more and more ungrateful."

Lin Yuyan suddenly said: "Rou'er, what are your plans to buy that house? If you can't make money, don't force it."

Xue Rouer smiled and said: "Don't worry about this, I have a way."

Lin Yuyan nodded and said with a smile, "I'll rest assured that you know what's going on."

"Oh, sister, it's really lively here." Madam Ninth barged in blankly.

The smile on the eldest lady's face froze and she said, "Jiu Mei is here and has met Mrs. Shangshu."

Madam Ninth walked in and said, "I have met Madam Shangshu." As she said this, she waved her handkerchief, and a strange fragrance suddenly appeared in the room.

Lin Yuyan took a whiff and her face changed drastically: "Get out..." Before she could finish her words, she covered her mouth and started coughing violently.

Xue Rou'er was startled and noticed something was wrong with Mrs. Ninth's veil, so she immediately dragged her out and was still in the yard.

Mrs. Ninth shouted: "How dare you do this to me? I will go to the master and let him make the decision for me."
