The streets of Daxia City are far more spacious than those of Nanfeng City. They are paved with neat bluestones and tightly spaced. Streets extend in all directions and towering buildings rise from the ground, giving people a feeling of being lost in them.
The dense flow of people seemed to have no end, and the noise was boiling, like thunder, echoing over the city.
This is Daxia City, the center of Daxia.
And when Li Luo was sitting in the carriage, looking through the window at this majestic city, on another street, Si Qiuying boarded a restaurant facing the street, and then entered.
In a private room.
"Hey, are you back?"
In the private room, there was a young man sipping tea and leisurely watching the people coming and going on the street. When he turned around and saw Si Qiuying, he couldn't help but smile.
The young man has a tall body and a rather heroic appearance, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. However, his hair is the same as Si Qiuying's, which is green. It must be a family inheritance.
He is Si Qiuying's eldest brother, Si Tianming.
"How is it? Have you met the young palace master?" Si Tianming asked with a smile.
Si Qiuying gritted her teeth and said, "You see, he is just a little scoundrel! If he is not very capable, he will complain. He is as childish as a child!"
"And Sister Qing'e is too partial and even slapped me." Si Qiuying said a little unhappy. In the past, Jiang Qing'e had a good relationship with her, as if she was her younger sister, but now she discovered that Jiang Qing'e
Obviously he values Li Luo more.
"I think you are naive... What is his relationship with Li Luo? If you want to argue with Li Luo, isn't that insulting yourself?" Si Tianming said helplessly.
"I'm not arguing with him...but you, eldest brother, even Sister Qing'e said she doesn't like you." Si Qiuying rolled her eyes at her eldest brother and said.
However, Si Tianming just laughed it off and said, "Do you still need to say such things? Don't I still feel it when we get along with each other?"
"And outstanding people like Jiang Qing'e also have the qualifications to say such things."
But Si Qiuying said somewhat unhappily: "Brother, although you can't compare with Sister Qing'e, at least you are a hundred times better than that Li Luo, right?"
"You are now a student of the Four-Star Academy of Shengxuanxing Academy. With the strength of the Earthly Demon General, even some Jinhui instructors in the academy say that you have a high probability of becoming a marquis in the future and becoming the top strong man in my country!"
"But do you think that being a marquis can win Jiang Qing'e's favor?"
Si Tianming sighed softly and said: "Qiu Ying, I have told you a long time ago that the right to terminate the engagement between Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e does not actually lie with Li Luo, but with Jiang Qing'e. As long as she is not willing, the engagement will be terminated.
People can move."
"In addition, although I like Jiang Qing'e, I don't necessarily pursue a certain result."
Si Qiuying curled her lips and said: "Brother, you are still a lover, so let me ask you, if you have the opportunity to pursue Sister Qing'e, would you be willing?"
Si Tianming showed a somewhat embarrassed smile, and the answer was self-evident.
Si Qiuying glanced at him with disdain and immediately cheered him up: "Brother, believe in yourself. Your talent, strength and reputation are among the top among the younger generation in Daxia. As long as you persist, I think
Sister Qing'e will discover your excellence one day!"
"And with Li Luo as a comparison, it will make you a good match!"
Si Tianming smiled helplessly and said: "Don't worry about these things. Also, don't think about trouble with Li Luo in the future. There is no need. After all, he is the young master of Luo Lan Mansion. If you provoke him
, when Jiang Qing'e wants to deal with you, I can't get involved."
"I'm not interested in causing trouble for him." Si Qiuying said lazily.
"But he made me unhappy this time. Next time Duze Beixuan wants to trouble him, I won't help him block it again."
Si Tianming shook his head and didn't say anything more. Moreover, the young master of the palace should also have some ability to deal with troubles. Otherwise, the first place in Shu County today would be too much.
But speaking of it, Duze Mansion seems to have made some moves recently. I wonder if they are directed at Luo Lan Mansion...
...
The chariot passed through the spacious streets and finally stopped outside a manor.
This is where the headquarters of Luo Lan Mansion is located.
Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e walked out of the carriage. He looked at the manor in front of him and couldn't help but click his tongue. The old house in Nanfeng City already occupies a vast area, but compared with the headquarters in front of him, it still lacked a bit of momentum.
There were guards patrolling around the manor, and sharp eyes were scanning around on some watchtowers.
"I have notified all the people in charge of the Luolan Mansion in Daxia City to gather at the headquarters later. When the young master comes to Daxia City, he must get familiar with the backbone of the Luolan Mansion," Jiang Qing'e said.
She glanced at Li Luo and said: "These people in charge are in charge of various industries of Luo Lan Mansion in Daxia City. You have to know that the annual income of Luo Lan Mansion, combined with all branches outside Daxia City, is
They only account for 60%, and the other 40% of the income comes from the industries in Daxia City."
Li Luo was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that Daxia City's income would account for such a high proportion of Luo Lan Mansion's overall income.
It truly deserves to be the center of Daxia.
"When I first took over the Luo Lan Mansion a few years ago, Pei Hao's interference in various industries in the Royal City was extremely serious. However, after the rectification in the past few years, many of his hands and feet have been cut off. The Royal City is considered stable.
Stay." Jiang Qing'e continued.
Hearing this, Li Luo said, "Thank you to Sister Qing'e for the hard work."
The proportion of Luo Lan Mansion's industry in the royal city is too large. If this place is eroded and controlled by Pei Hao, then the headquarters of Luo Lan Mansion will really exist in name only. Fortunately, Jiang Qing'e took action quickly, otherwise the current situation of Luo Lan Mansion will be even worse.
.
While the two were talking, they had already entered the gate of the manor, but at this moment, a strong figure suddenly rushed towards Li Luo, and at the same time, a heartbreaking howl sounded: "Ah, my young master
Lord, you have finally come to Daxia City, I really miss you, old cow!"
The wailing sound exploded in Li Luo's ears, making him stunned. He felt as if his whole body was locked by an iron hoop, and he could hardly breathe.
Moreover, the strong smell of oil coming from the person in front of him penetrated Li Luo's nose and went straight to his forehead.
"Uncle Biao, he is about to be suffocated to death by you." Jiang Qing'e's smiling voice came from the side, saving Li Luo.
Hearing this, the sturdy figure hurriedly let go of Li Luo, and it was only then that Li Luo saw his appearance clearly. He was a particularly strong, bald, middle-aged man. The man's body was covered with oil, and his face showed a ferocious look.
Suddenly, on his waist, a butcher's knife reflected the cold light.
"You are..." Li Luo looked at this person and had a vague memory, but couldn't call out his name for a while.
"Young Master, I am Niu Biaobiao, don't you remember? When you were young, I cooked for you." The bald man said hurriedly.
Hearing this name, Li Luo's memory became a little clearer. In his memory, there was indeed a bald man accompanying him when he was young. However, with the relocation of Luo Lan Mansion's headquarters, there was no more.
Impressed.
"Uncle Biao is the oldest person in Luo Lan Mansion. He has been here when Master and Master founded Luo Lan Mansion. His cooking skills are famous in Daxia City, and he is now also responsible for the catering here at the headquarters." Jiang Qing'e
He smiled at Li Luo and said.
Li Luo suddenly clapped his hands: "I remember!"
"You are Uncle Biao! The Uncle Biao who looks fierce but doesn't even dare to kill a chicken himself. The same Uncle Biao who once tricked me into the kitchen when I was a kid and asked me to kill the chicken for him!"
Niu Biaobiao's face suddenly stiffened, and he said awkwardly: "Young Master, your memory is really good. You can still remember things that happened so long ago."
Li Luo couldn't help but laugh out loud, because the fierce look of the person in front of him was so different from his personality. Who would have thought that such a person who could scare a child to stop crying just by his appearance would actually be a chicken.
They don't dare to kill them themselves.
People say that the butcher's knife on Niu Biaobiao's waist has probably never seen blood in his life, and it is just for decoration.
But after laughing, I felt a sense of intimacy again. After all, the person in front of me was indeed an old man from Luo Lan Mansion. He was a truly trustworthy person.
"Uncle Biao, I have to trouble you to take care of him again." Li Luo stretched out his hand, patted Niu Biaobiao's greasy and thick arm and said.
Niu Biaobiao touched Li Luo's hand and said: "I have wanted to go to Nanfeng City to take care of the young master, but Xiao Jiang didn't let me. Now that you have come to Daxia City, I will definitely feed you."
Baibai, fat and fat.”
He touched Li Luo's arm and sighed: "Young Master is still a little weak, I will give you a big pot of tonic right now!"
After saying that, he turned around and left in a hurry.
"Uncle Biao is still so impatient." Li Luo looked at his strong back and said with a smile.
Jiang Qing'e said: "Uncle Biao is a trustworthy person. Originally, I planned to let him take charge of other properties of Luo Lan Mansion, but he was unwilling and just wanted to stay in the kitchen."
"As long as he is willing, there is no need to force it," Li Luo said.
Jiang Qing'e nodded and said: "Let's go, I'll show you around here first. After dinner later, the people in charge should be here. You may be a little tired today."
Li Luo smiled and said, "This is not tiring. Sister Qing'e, you have been supporting me for several years. Isn't it even more tiring?"
"My speech is getting better and better. I must have said it to the little girls in school a lot, right?" Jiang Qing'e said with a half-smile.
"Jealous?"
Jiang Qing'e chuckled softly and walked forward with her long legs. A slightly proud voice came from the front.
"Jealous? I haven't experienced what it feels like. Come on, I hope you can let me experience it."
Li Luo looked at her beautiful back and chased after her angrily.
What should I say? Jiang Qing'e, don't go too far. Thirty years in Hedong... it's not right...
Today you are so indifferent to me...the atmosphere is not right either.
