Li Chongrun was obsessed with blacksmithing these days and didn't pay attention to the day. He just listened to the former dandy Song Gongzi talking about it and remembered that today is already the twenty-ninth year of the year and it will be New Year's Day soon.
Several other businesses knew that Li Chongrun had seen through the somewhat overpowering method of donating money on the street that day, so they successively took people out one after another in a low-key manner.
Of course, there was indispensable exchange of interests, such as the tacit approval of Li Chongrun's aggressive entry into the Yangzhou business district, a piece of land on the edge of the Yangtze River, or a small lake rich in four-gill bass.
Only the Song family has been silent, as if there is no such thing as the young master's family.
"Master Song, why are you crying like a girl?"
Li Chongrun has always looked down on this kind of dandy behavior. Firstly, he is an aspiring young man who has received modern low-level education. Secondly, he has not become a dandy. It feels a little uncomfortable to see others being so carefree.
The young master named Song just snorted coldly, turned around, and stared at the triangular hanging window in a daze.
Li Chongrun was a little disdainful that he was still pretending to be a young master after he had fallen into such a situation.
For this kind of dandy who had no knowledge of current affairs, the trace of guilt and pity that Li Chongrun had just felt disappeared, and he was ready to go back to his room to sleep as soon as he waved his sleeves.
"Those families must have given the prince a lot of benefits."
The young man named Song came over with a somewhat hoarse voice, "If the prince wants to keep me here to extort some money from the Song family, it's better to give up this idea."
Maybe it was because he had been locked up for a long time. Although the young master of the Song family still spoke a little aggressively, he was no longer as abusive as when he was first locked up. Li Chongrun heard what he wanted to say and was very curious.
asked a question.
"Although I am not trying to extort some money from you, since you want to tell a story, I am willing to listen to it."
In the secret room, several girls from Evian Xuan Huafang were sorting out some information. Now Bing'er is in charge of RT-Mart Lianghao, and Ruiniang is assisting her. In addition, RT-Mart Lianghao has a very good reputation among farmers, so even if Li Chongrun is very
I happily became a sales manager and developed a lot of informants. A lot of news has been reported recently.
In addition, since the business has been closed in recent years, business has been a bit slow, so these girls no longer need to serve as doormen in the grain department. Instead, they have started their own business, sorting out information here.
A girl heard Li Chongrun talking to the young man in the cell, so she moved her seat very considerately, and took a pile of information and put it in his hand.
Listening to the young master of the Song family telling his story, Li Chongrun flipped through the information in his hand and found that this boy had not lied, and his story was also very boring.
It's just that the main wife died and Xu Xian gave birth to a son. As the eldest son of the Song family, the young master's life must have been very uncomfortable.
The young master of the Song family read it for a long time, and it was nothing more than feeling unfavored, aggrieved, and full of resentment.
If he hadn't thought about seeing that boy crying when he thought about his mother, and it was indeed a bit sincere, Li Chongrun would have liked to just pat his butt and leave.
He can be so extravagant that he can hit people with golden marbles in the street, but he only complains about his grievances and not being favored. Li Chongrun really looks down on such a waste who only thinks about himself.
But there was one detail in Mr. Song's information that attracted Li Chongrun's attention.
Xu Xian, the chief shopkeeper of the Song family, has a surname of Cui. He is a member of the Boling Cui family.
And not long after the mother of the young master of the Song family died, the Cui family's second wife was married into the family.
Based on Li Chongrun's experience of reading palace fighting dramas and house fighting novels for so many years, he immediately judged that there was definitely something going on here.
When he heard the young master of the Song family say that his deceased mother was the granddaughter of King Li Min of Shu, and his grandmother was also a daughter of the fifth surname of the Cui family, Li Chongrun felt that he should have an opportunity to divide these seven major businesses.
"If I let you out, you need to agree to two conditions."
"Okay, okay, don't say two, just a hundred, I promise you."
Hearing that Li Chongrun finally relaxed, the young master of the Song family was a little overjoyed and responded repeatedly.
"Don't be too eager to be happy. The first condition is that after you go out, if I find you so ridiculous again, I will definitely not give you a second chance."
"That's nature, that's nature."
"Second condition: After I let you out, you must make the Song family yours!"
Li Chongrun raised his eyebrows, looking at the young master of the Song family with some provocation, and raised his eyebrows at him with dignity.
"This..." The bulging aura of the young master of the Song family suddenly weakened. "If I, Song Shi, had such ability, how could I end up in this place?"
"The leader of you dandies is Wu Chongxun, the eldest son of Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping. He is my cousin." Li Chongrun thought that he would send his cousin to Linyi, so he could train with the Song family.
"My cousin is not good at anything else, and he is very good at doing business. There are other means, and I, the king, who should provide them to you, will naturally provide them to you." Li Chongrun handed the thick stack of information in his hand to the man who called himself Song.
The young man at that time said, "You should recover from your leg injury first, and we will talk about the follow-up later."
As he flipped through the information in his hand, Song Shi's eyes widened. Some of the contents recorded on it were not even clear to him. He even had records of who his father had seen on a certain day and at a certain time.
But when I turned to the last few pages involving some family rumors, the detailed analysis vaguely pointed to a long-standing guess of mine. "If he can avenge his mother, Song Shi will definitely turn the Song family into the prince's Song family!"
Li Chongrun was about to leave. When he heard Song Shi's roar, he smiled knowingly: "This is your Song family. As long as you are obedient, I will be fine."
After saying that, Li Chongrun went back to his room to sleep.
But this sleep was not a solid one. In his daze, Li Chongrun felt vaguely that someone was shaking him. Li Chongrun reluctantly opened his eyes and found that it was Gongsun Lan who was trying very hard to shake himself up.
Originally, Gongsun Lan was very happy to join Li Chongrun in blacksmithing, but as the New Year approached, more and more guests came to visit.
Although Li Chongrun went to work forging iron very coolly, he had to see his guests.
The little cousin is not yet an adult, and the cousin has such an unreliable temper. Only Mrs. Ru, who has just been promoted, is the only one in the house who is qualified to receive those slightly more important guests on behalf of Li Chongrun.
But for today's guest, Gongsun Lan had to shake Li Chongrun up.
"Lord Governor, send me a message to visit!"
Li Chongrun had dealt with Governor Wei many times. Except for the first time, he only let the disciples know when he came several times, and once he followed him for a private visit incognito.
I'm posting this formally this time, I guess it's because of something serious.
Li Chongrun did not dare to neglect, and with the help of several maids, he dressed up in a purple robe and went to see his parents in a very formal manner.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Congratulations, Your Majesty."
As soon as Wei Anguo saw Li Chongrun, he was overjoyed and saluted him to congratulate him.
"Thank you, Governor Wei. The Governor is really well informed."
In the past few days, Gongsun Lan had been hosting guests on his behalf, so the news of King Linzi's marriage had already spread in Yangzhou city.
The melon-eaters who wanted to see the grandeur of the prince marrying his wife were very disappointed. The prince actually just held a simple ceremony in the garden, which was not even as good as ordinary people's. The idlers who were waiting to eat the flowing water table were very disappointed.
Angry.
"To be honest with the prince, I have already taken a rest. I came here this time because of two things that cannot be delayed. I have just received the news, so I came here in a hurry. I thought I must inform the prince.
.”
"Wei Gong, please speak." Hearing that Wei Anguo was really here to do business, Li Chongrun straightened up his figure, as if he had the posture of a high-ranking person sitting upright.
"The first thing is that there are rumors in the court that there is good luck in Runzhou, so they sent people to investigate. Judging from the date, it should be after the new year."
Within the officialdom, there are many letters exchanged between people from the same family and old friends, with little interruption, and it vaguely becomes an intelligence network among officials. Sometimes these news spread faster than the official news.
Therefore, Li Chongrun has no doubt that Wei Anguo knows about this matter. "Wei Gong came here, does he want to ask whether this matter is related to my deployment of troops a few days ago?"
However, Wei Anguo did not answer Li Chongrun's question, and did not even hesitate. He seemed to have acquiesced that Li Chongrun must be related to this matter.
He directly told Li Chongrun about the second incident.
