Li Jinghe stared straight at the door of Prince Jin's Mansion. As soon as Taohong walked out, he rushed over. He was sweating profusely and grabbed Taohong's sleeve: "Auntie, save me, save me, that ticket is worth it."
Did you see it?"
"Are you a beggar or an escort?" Taohong brushed Li Jinghe's hand away and asked.
Li Jinghe quickly said: "I am the escort, I am the escort from Da'an Escort Agency in Luwu County."
"Come in." Taohong curled her lips, looking like a beggar. How dare you say that you are a bodyguard? You are really a mountain villager.
Li Jinghe followed Taohong into Prince Jin's Mansion, which opened his eyes. The Prince Jin's Mansion, which was seen every step of the way, was really a den of wealth and wealth. Like a quail, he didn't dare to look any further and was taken to Princess Huimin's yard.
Princess Huimin sat behind the screen and asked: "Who entrusted this to be sent?"
Li Jinghe was stunned immediately. Duan Chengde didn't tell him this either. He swallowed his saliva and learned the truth.
"It's really thoughtful." Princess Huimin had checked that among the people from Qinghe Prefecture who came to Beijing, only Li Jingrui was from Luwu County. If not him, who else could there be? He was indeed thoughtful.
Li Jinghe quickly kowtowed: "I don't dare to lie, it's true."
"Well, Taohong, reward." Princess Huimin said, took her own seal, stamped it on the escort code, and handed it to Taohong.
Taohong brought a piece of silver worth about fifty taels over and reached for the escort code. Princess Huimin raised her eyebrows: "It's a little short. I'll give you twenty taels for travel expenses and another ten taels for chewing on the way."
It’s not easy.”
Li Jinghe almost didn't raise his eyebrows. What is this? This is a wealthy family! Look at how generous they are!
After accepting the reward, kowtowing in thanks, and being sent out of Prince Jin's Mansion with the escort code, Li Jinghe felt that he was dreaming!
Although he had been running for so many days, the thirty taels of silver in his pocket were so heavy that he was willing to die. After the matter was done, he did not dare to stay in the East City any longer, and immediately went to the West City.
Here in Xicheng, you can leave the city early in the morning and take the waterway home. When you get home, you can exchange this escort code for twenty taels of silver!
With fifty taels in hand, I went to the county town to buy a small courtyard, and completely left those people in Lijiazhuang. All the embarrassing things had nothing to do with me. In the future, I became a bodyguard, and my life would be extremely rich!
The more she thought about it, the more beautiful it became, but Li Jinghe didn't dare to show it on his face. He found a roadside stall and ate three large bowls of wontons. He felt so happy!
Having money is good!
He found a place where beggars gathered and lay down next to it. There were more than twenty beggars living here. No one paid attention to him, and he didn't dare to talk to others. He closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
The past memories came to mind, and I suddenly thought of my eldest brother who died suddenly in the capital. I snorted in my heart, if I was the one studying, how could I die here? A nerd, he is nothing!
"Have you heard? Gambling has started in the Famous Building. If you bet on the top three in the palace exam tomorrow, you will make a lot of money." A beggar said to the person next to him.
The beggar next to him spat: "We can't even get in. What's the use of hearing it or not?"
"Among the top picks, Zhuang Yi pays ten to one, and Ye Zixiu pays twenty to one." The beggar said unconvinced: "There is someone else who is also on top. It's shocking, and he pays one hundred to each."
At this time, the beggars who were not paying attention all sat up: "One hundred for each? Who is it?"
"I heard that his name is Li Jingrui, but some people say that this person has a backer, but I don't know whether it is true or not."
"What a bastard! Go to sleep."
The two beggars fell silent, and Li Jinghe's eyes almost popped out. Li Jingrui? The eldest brother died, and the news was sent to the Yamen, so it must be the same name.
But this name has been weighing on his head for more than ten years, and his legs feel numb when he suddenly hears it.
That night, Li Jinghe didn't fall asleep. He left here early and wandered around the street. He couldn't decide whether to leave or not. If the eldest brother was not dead, then the beggar meant that the eldest brother might be the number one scholar.
If he is the number one scholar, wouldn't it mean that the Li family's chickens and dogs have ascended to heaven?
I walked around the street and happened to see a man dressed as a scholar setting up a calligraphy and painting stall. I walked over and hid beside him.
The scholar was nearly forty years old. He was wearing a robe that had been washed until it turned white. The corners were frayed. He glanced at Li Jinghe and smiled: "Brother, do you want to write a letter home for you?"
"No, I won't write for you." Li Jinghe pursed his lips and said, "Uncle, let me ask, is it illegal to randomly identify one's official relatives?"
The scholar raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, looked at Li Jinghe for a few times, and said with a smile: "You have to get a beating first and then throw you into prison. If you encounter an official who is unmerciful, you have to be severely punished, even if the crime is not serious."
Until death, you still have to peel off a layer of skin."
Li Jinghe shook subconsciously. He had money and could live a good life, so he did not need to take risks. After making up his mind, Li Jinghe bowed to the scholar and said goodbye.
After walking a few steps, the scholar called out to him: "Brother, you must not take any risks. If your family members are really ungrateful because they have become rich, and the court wants to investigate whether the official has a clean family background, you can lodge a complaint with the investigating official.
It won’t make your own skin suffer.”
Li Jinghe turned around and bowed again to thank him, then quickly left the city and went home by water. He didn't care whether Li Jingrui was dead or alive. If he was cheating, he would have made it clear that he would not let his family become a burden and he would admit it by himself.
Li Jingrui will definitely kill him for his own future.
After getting on the boat, Li Jinghe found a corner and squatted down, just hoping to get home quickly. Things went surprisingly smoothly, and he began to plan for a good life in the future.
In Luwu County, in front of Fang Qingshi's spice shop, a stage was set up for singing.
After more than a month of fighting, the Fang Family Spice Shop finally made a splash. People in Luwu County have long known about the spice shop. Listening to the rap show, the three floors inside and outside were crowded with people.
Fang Jing'an, the three brothers and sisters, are very busy with beautiful and exquisite sachets, as well as sachets specially for children to use during the Five Poison Months. The spices in them are good for warding off plague and insects. Thirty yuan for one, one hundred.
It was sold out as soon as it was taken out.
When the drama started, the three brothers and sisters here breathed a sigh of relief. Fang Qinghe looked at the box full of money, pulled Fang Qingshi to the side, stretched out his sweaty hands: "Sister, I'm scared, so much money,
So much money!”
"Progress." Fang Qingshi smiled and took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat on her little sister's hands: "We will go to Qinghe Prefecture and Jinghe Prefecture to open spice shops later. This is just the beginning."
Fang Qinghe swallowed his saliva and nodded: "Well, I have to be more cautious. We will be a wealthy family in the future, and we are all young ladies of the Fang family."
This made Fang Qingshi laugh: "Okay, you go and take care of it with your elder brother, and I'll make a pot of hot tea."
Fang Qingshi has been living here in the shop these days. When he came back from Qingwa Village, he brought some spices back. Now the incense shop does not have to worry about not having enough spices to sell. The people in Luwu County prefer insect-repelling incense that can clean the body.
The sales of house spices, sachets and lavender are slightly worse, and the sales are still limited to wealthy families.
After taking out the tea leaves and putting them in the teapot, Fang Qingshi paused for a moment. Today is April 14th, and the imperial examination is about to begin. I wonder if the spices have been delivered.
"Sister, Brother Duan is here with someone." Fang Qinghe ran in with a smile: "There is also delicious food."
Fang Qingshi looked back, and Fang Qinghe came close to her and whispered: "Sister, Brother Duan is very good, isn't he?"
"Well, he is a good man. When we get married later, we have to give him a generous gift." Fang Qingshi said and went out, leaving Fang Qinghe muttering unwillingly...
