Since Xiao Shengyu came from a prominent local family and had shown intelligence and aptitude since childhood, he was naturally loved by his elders and was of course quite familiar with food.
But despite having tasted many delicacies, Xiao Shengyu has never experienced such a wonderful taste. This taste is really...
There are simply no words to describe it!
The key is that the taste is sweet, but unlike ordinary expensive things, there are always some peculiar aromas such as ambergris and rare musk, which can make people smell its extraordinary quality at the first smell.
This milk tea is different, the taste is actually ordinary.
But it is precisely because it is ordinary that it appears exquisite but not extravagant - because it is not extravagant, it appears particularly exquisite.
Xiao Shengyu was puzzled. It didn't taste like anything rare and special, and it shouldn't be expensive, but... it just tasted extremely sweet.
This Li Sheng, the woman beside Li Sheng, and all kinds of food and clothing expenses... all have an indescribable special temperament!
Xiao Shengyu himself couldn't tell what exactly this temperament was.
But what she can say is that this temperament is indeed very fascinating...and uneasy.
However, no matter what he was feeling uneasy about, now that he had drank the tea, Xiao Shengyu knew that he could no longer do ink.
In fact, there were no ink marks. She had just sat down when she entered the door, and then she said, "Girl, since you are Li Shuai's close friend, I don't hide much. I came to disturb the girl this time because I wanted to visit my old friend."
…”
"Ben" is for something. What this means is that I actually have another purpose.
Wu Meiniang smiled slightly and did not express surprise at Xiao Shengyu's various micro-expressions. She was not in a hurry to speak to her words. She just nodded and looked at the latter very calmly and said, "Miss Danqing is here, but
She has fallen asleep. If the girl is in a hurry..."
Since the other party has revealed his origin, Wu Meiniang of the Xiao family also knows that the highest-ranking person in the family is the Prime Minister Xiao Yu.
And since coming here indicates this level of relationship, it means that we are not here to visit old friends.
And soon...
Sure enough, Xiao Shengyu took a breath and then said,
"Ma'am, I'll tell you the truth. This time I'm not just here to meet an old friend, but for Li Shuai..."
The name Li Shuai was the nickname given to him by the grassroots imperial army and the common people when Li Sheng led the army to sweep away the Turks.
It is a tribute to the strongest defender of the Tang Dynasty.
Compared to the group of gentlemen with five surnames and Qi Wang, or even Xiao Yu himself, Xiao Shengyu knows one thing more clearly. Li Sheng's greatest asset is that he has really done a lot for the people of China, so...
Neither Li Er nor Qingliu can really defeat Li Sheng. This is also the key that Xiao Shengyu concluded after communicating with his elder Xiao Yu at home and asking questions. This is why... Xiao Shengyu subconsciously called Li Sheng
This is what Li Shuai said.
However, Wu Meiniang had long been accustomed to these titles and respects and didn't take them seriously at all.
He just nodded and signaled the other person to continue talking.
Xiao Shengyu was a little nervous, but since Wu Meiniang was close to Li Sheng, she seemed to be able to keep her word, and she had no objection to him, so he told her the true purpose of coming this time.
Of course, the real purpose of coming here is to catch a ride on Li Sheng’s car. As for the specifics...
There is no doubt that the purpose is to convert the assets of the famous Xiao family into projects founded by Li Sheng.
Xiao Shengyu smiled awkwardly and explained specifically, "Li Shuai's grand plans and great achievements, if compared to me, the Xiao family, is like a firefly..."
Xiao Shengyu himself was embarrassed when he said this. He had grown up with a daughter and a rich daughter. When had he ever flattered anyone so much? In fact, it was because he had no such experience at all. He simply relied on his sense of responsibility for the family.
I just came...that's why the lines are so outrageous.
But before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Wu Meiniang with a chuckle.
"Haha... I am joking. But I may have some misunderstanding. My young master is actually very talkative. If I really have any ideas, I can tell my sister directly."
After saying that, Wu Meiniang opened her eyes wide and looked at Xiao Shengyu without blinking.
This look in his eyes was both innocent and unpredictable, as if he was very confident and yet there seemed to be nothing lacking in confidence. Xiao Shengyu had to sigh inwardly that Li Sheng was really a powerful person...
But then he also said that the purpose of this time was to hitchhike, and it wasn’t even a hitchhike.
The so-called hitchhiking usually refers to partnership, but Xiao Shengyu is now...
She had previously discussed the matter with Xiao Yu and other elders at home, as well as the elites of the family, and they had unanimously confirmed the current situation...
To preserve the wealth of the Xiao family, it is urgent to take measures. And since it is urgent, it is conceivable that we must act with as low a profile as possible.
After the explanation was fully explained, Xiao Shengyu felt a little relieved, but also felt heavy.
In fact, normally speaking, when you have few soldiers and few generals, the key to engaging in military affairs is not to study how to expand your troops, but to make foreign enemies feel that you are a desperado. Although your strength is average, if you want to eat, you will have to bleed.
The same goes for the Xiao family. This trip is tantamount to taking refuge in Li Sheng, and taking refuge in this kind of thing has to be done...
You have to make certain sacrifices.
Of course, after all, the Xiao family is still powerful and wealthy, and a famous family, but who knows what Li Sheng's appetite is? The family's land...
The Xiao family is different from the other people of the Five Surnames and Qiwang. Although their farmland is also thousands of hectares of fertile land, it is still much less than that of Wang Jing and others. The main reason is that they have a lot of gold and silver hoarding. This is geographically closer to the Xiao family.
It has something to do with being close to the southeast.
If this wave of "defection" is to talk about the land issue, then the Xiao family is really not panicking, since there is only so much space anyway.
But if Li Sheng really wants to take away so much land by force, then...
The Xiao family is a prominent family, not a family like that of later generations, but a local family that is equivalent to a big surname. This is the positioning.
If Li Sheng really wanted all that land, then... then the Xiao family would have no source of income. This would be outrageous!
Therefore, Xiao Shengyu was quite nervous and could only guess that the other party would not be interested in those lands... After all, although the land was the most valuable, it was not the best farmland. The Xiao family's assets were dominated by gold and silver.
But then...
Wu Meiniang spoke, but Xiao Shengyu was dumbfounded.
"If you... want to find a way out from my young master, it's actually easy. My young master lacks everything here, especially a 'way out'. But first, you have to say goodbye to the land!"
