Chapter 81 I am very familiar with the people in Yibolou
The next day, the sun rises in the east
After cleaning things up several times, the five kings gathered again as agreed, and the group headed to the Li Mansion in a mighty manner.
It was almost noon when we arrived at the gate of Li Mansion.
"Are the Five Kings coming?"
When the servants of the Li Mansion saw such a battle, they were so frightened that they crawled to the inner mansion.
Not long after, Li Chen and the housekeeper arrived at the foreign mansion with a face full of surprise.
"Eldest brother, second brother...why are you here?"
Seeing Li Yuan and others, Li Chen first took the housekeeper to perform the courtesy of a civil official, and then spoke.
"I have nothing to do recently, so I came over early to take a look."
Li Yuan and others nodded slightly.
The prince is full of airs and is not as harmonious as a meeting between brothers.
"Quick...please come inside!"
Li Chen didn't care.
It would be abnormal if these people didn't have such an attitude.
After a brief greeting, everyone sat in the lobby. According to etiquette, Li Chen should have been sitting in the main seat, but at this moment, Li Chen very wisely gave up the main position to the boss, Li Yuan.
"Lao Qi, where are the heirs in your house?"
There was almost no politeness. Li Yuan got straight to the point and asked directly.
"Brother, don't blame me. The eldest, second, and fourth are all busy with their own work and therefore not in the house."
Li Chen hurriedly explained.
According to etiquette, these juniors should come to meet their uncles.
"Oh, where is the third child?"
Li Yuan picked up the tea cup and asked again.
This is the purpose of their coming to Li Mansion today.
"Brother, the third child, Li Mo, has been kicked out of the house by me!"
When Li Mo was mentioned, anger suddenly appeared on Li Chen's face.
It was said that Li Mo had become the third son-in-law of the Zhou family. His invitation to return to the family was rejected. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He wrote a letter severing the relationship and asked the housekeeper to send it to the Zhou family.
Although he did not receive a reply later, in Li Chen's opinion, Li Mo has nothing to do with Li Mansion anymore.
"What? You kicked Li Chen out of the house?"
rub!
It's better not to listen,
Upon hearing this, the boss Li Yuan stood up immediately, and the other four kings also frowned instantly.
"Eldest brother, second brother...it's like this. Ever since Li Mo entered Zhou's house, he has been arrogant and arrogant..."
Li Chen didn't know what the five kings were thinking, and thought they were surprised by his behavior, so he immediately started to complain and said Li Mo was useless. Of course, he didn't say anything about shutting Li Mo out in advance.
"But...even so, you can't expel him from the house!"
After a while, Li Yuan sat back with a troubled look on his face.
They originally thought of using Li Mo to build a relationship with Yi Bo Lou, but now it's better. Li Mo is no longer even a member of the Li family, so the identity of uncle and nephew is no longer useful.
"Brother, our Li family has a strict family tradition, how can we allow our disciples to be like this..."
Li Chen waved his hand.
"But... Lao Qi, let's be honest, we have something to discuss with Li Mo!"
Seeing this, the third child, Li Juan, spoke in a low voice.
"Ah? Is it suitable for third brother to find Li Mo? He was a book writer before, but he was lucky enough to get a job with the Zhou Mansion and become a ninth-grade scribe."
Li Chen was astonished.
How could Li Mo be so virtuous that he could allow the five kings to discuss matters with him?
"It's like this... Li Mo didn't work in Yibo Building before. It happened that my eldest brother had something to do with the owner of Yibo Building... so I wanted to talk to him through Li Mo. Now Li Mo has been expelled from the house by you.
Door, how can it be a good thing?"
As Li Juan spoke, he glared at Li Chen fiercely.
It's true that success is more than failure. If I had known this earlier, let alone today, I wouldn't want to come to Li Mansion again even if it's my birthday in the future.
"Brother, are you looking for the master of Yibo Tower?"
After pondering for a moment, Li Chen suddenly had an idea.
Before, he had thought about asking the Poem Demon King Changling to show up on his birthday to help him save face, but now that the Five Kings have arrived first and there is still something to do with Yibo Tower, he might as well change his mind and still become very powerful.
face.
"Um!"
"Brother, I am familiar with this person from Yibo Building! Moreover, this person's status in Yibo Building far exceeds that of Li Mo. It is much better to ask him for a recommendation than to ask Li Mo."
Li Chen said.
"What? Are you familiar with the people in Yibo Building? Is it true or false?"
The five kings paused, looking surprised, and all looked at Li Chen.
"Um!"
Seeing the kings' expressions like this, Li Chen felt secretly happy.
What he wants is this kind of effect, what he wants is to make the Five Kings no longer look down on him.
"Seventh brother, come and listen."
After coming back to his senses, Li Yuan spoke hurriedly and changed his title unknowingly.
"Brother, I wonder if eldest brother has ever heard of Poem Demon King Changling? He is staying in the mansion right now."
"Wang Changling? This..."
Li Juan stared.
He knew very well who Wang Changling was. He was the number three figure in Yibo House. It was incredible that he was not in charge of Yibo House in the East Capital but instead appeared in the Li Mansion.
Could it be that my seventh brother has some extraordinary means?
"Third brother, it's like this... the Poem Demon King Changling came to Dongdu to do business, and he happened to be familiar with me, so he stayed in the mansion."
Li Chen compiled it casually.
In his eyes, Wang Changling had lived in the Li Mansion for some time anyway, and had spoken to him several times, so he could only be considered an acquaintance.
"Okay... okay... I didn't expect that the seventh brother would have such a relationship. Can we meet the Shi Mo?"
Li Juan asked hurriedly.
With Poem Demon King Changling, there is no need to go to Li Mo anymore.
"Third brother...Mr. Shi Mo is out on business today and is not in the house. I will meet him when he comes back later. How about some brothers coming to see him again?"
Brothers, please rest assured that there will definitely be no problem with Shi Mo’s relationship with me.”
Li Chen rolled his eyes.
In fact, Wang Changling was in the backyard at this time, but he did not intend for the Five Kings to meet Wang Changling directly.
Firstly, the Poem Demon King Changling didn't know about this and needed to take a breath in advance. Secondly, he enjoyed this feeling very much, especially the look in the eyes of the five kings asking each other for something was so enjoyable that he had to wait a little longer.
.
Only in this way can his brothers no longer look down on the Li family in the future.
"If that's the case, I'd like to thank my seventh brother for your help. If seventh brother has anything to do later, please feel free to tell me."
Li Yuan raised his hand in a rare gesture.
"Brother, you don't have to be like this. We are all our own people. It's easy to talk about! Come, prepare a banquet... Today I will stay with you brothers until we get drunk."
this moment,
Li Chen felt unprecedentedly satisfied, as if all the face he had lost before had been regained at this moment.
.......
As everyone knows,
Just when Li Chen felt that he had regained his face, a sudden news in Chang'an City aroused many people's discussion.
Qingfeng Casino,
A group of scribes and scholars who had just bought Shuangseqiu were talking about something.
"Have you heard? Just now, someone stopped the emperor on his way back to the palace and wanted to file a complaint."
"Ah? Complaint? You are too courageous!"
"There must be a huge grievance, otherwise how could you dare to stop Yu Jia in public?"
"By the way, I heard who is suing? Is it a high-ranking official in the DPRK?"
