Mr. Xue would not be attentive for nothing. When Li You heard "Let's talk about business", he knew that the topic was coming. As Master Huang guessed, it was because he had smelled something. Although he had a good impression of Mr. Xue, he had to look at the details.
Sincerity. The sale of water conservancy projects is not like building palaces and houses. There are only a few things that need to be purchased. I don’t know what he is looking at.
Xue Yuanqing said he was not afraid of others finding out, but how could a prostitute not hear the voice-over? Sun Ji laughed and took Lu Xiang back to the house to rest for the night. Yuan Baoer and Hong Yi each said they would go back to the room and wait for everyone.
Ladies and gentlemen, come and visit us.
Li You thought about it for a moment and replied to Xue Yuanqing: "If you want to do the stone business, it will definitely not work. The lord has his own opinion." As he said that, he suddenly thought of Lu Shangshu. This lord planned to fly to Yanji to build a house.
If it's not a coincidence, is there some other metaphor?
"I am also self-aware, and I can't even think about big business like stone." Xue Yuanqing said tentatively: "What about the wooden stakes? I have a lot of contacts with Huizhou. There is a lot of pine there. It is best to make wooden stakes in the water.
"
It turns out that stone ponds and dams in this era had to be protected by wooden piles at the base, so Xue Yuanqing fell in love with this business. Pine wood does not rot in water, so it is the best material for wooden piles.
"This might be possible." Li You said vaguely.
Xue Yuanqing then said: "I am willing to do this business in partnership with Mr. Li. I will give Mr. Li 10% of the shares. I hope Mr. Li will not refuse."
"I can't say for sure, Mr. Huang is the right envoy." Li You said.
"Then I will give another 10% of the shares to Senior Huang."
Li You thought that there was still a county magistrate up there, so he said, "It's missing."
Xue Yuanqing knew the world well and said knowingly: "Then give Senior Huang 30%."
"I will report to Mr. Huang tomorrow and ask Mr. Xue to wait for the news."
Xue Yuanqing took out a famous thorn from his arms and said: "I would like to ask Mr. Li to give the famous thorn to Senior Huang. I will tell you that after I learn from it, General Xue will come to visit my senior."
Xue Yuanqing, like Mr. Huang, was both a scholar. The way he behaved in this way meant that he socialized as a scholar first. This was naturally very different from the way he made friends with Li You, although in the end it might be all about wine, sex and wealth...
Li You did some mental calculations and figured out that he could earn about five or six thousand taels from this business. He could get five or six hundred taels for 10%, which was a huge sum of money for him.
The two of them agreed, and each went to his own room to find his own prostitute.
There is indeed something wonderful about Yuan Baoer becoming a famous artist. Although his body is slender and weak, he is very well-proportioned and good-looking. Although the front and back are not plump or big, they are small and concave, not like a flat board, and the bottom is narrow and delicate. The hoop is very tight.
It's so interesting and wonderful.
At two o'clock in the morning, Li You got up to wash up. Yuan Bao'er, who was sleeping with him, had disappeared early for some reason. It was strange. He was about to leave the room when he saw the owner of the house, Wang Laobao, coming in to say hello.
Li You asked, "What's the matter with you?" Did Mr. Xue run away without giving you money?
Madam Wang smiled and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Li."
Li You was puzzled, where did the joy come from?
"Is it possible that Mr. Li still doesn't know?" Madam Wang saw that Li You didn't look like he knew, so he told her, "Mr.
"This Miss Bao is naturally talking about Yuan Bao'er.
Li You was shocked by the news and didn't know what to say. It was the second time in two days that someone gave a woman to him. Can he let it go as he pleased this time...
Mr. Xue is so good at his tricks. No wonder he made such a big fanfare in the past few days that all the prostitutes rushed to invite Li You, just to see who Li You liked in his heart.
Madam Wang took out a piece of paper and handed it to Li You, "This is Miss Bao's body deed. Please keep it, Mr. Li."
Li You, who was still suffering from dementia, subconsciously took it and was still speechless.
Madam Wang only said that Li You was so happy that she called her maid: "Bring Miss Bao in quickly!"
Several girls outside laughed and pushed Yuan Bao'er in. At this time, Yuan Bao'er was uncharacteristically uncharacteristic and had no usual charm. He was too shy to look at Li You.
Madam Wang wiped away a few tears, held her hand and comforted her: "Mr. Li is a good man with good temperament and a businessman. At least he is a stable family and a well-known person. Miss Bao will be well served in the future."
Mr. Li, this is not like home anymore. If there is anything you can’t get used to, don’t be petty.”
Li You finally came to his senses. When he heard what Wang Laobao said, he almost couldn't hold in his breath. He sounded like he had wronged Yuan Bao'er when he came to his house. Thinking about it again, he couldn't refute anything. Yao Xing'er, the top star in the county, was like this
Not to mention, for prostitutes of Yuan Baoer and Li Meijie's level, the minimum net worth of their clients is several hundred taels (not counting those who are hired like Li You).
Although Li You has gained some fame, it can't change the nature of a small official. The prostitutes are definitely very happy to have sex with Li You. It doesn't matter if they don't pay for a night or two. You support me and I support you, and everyone still gets the name.
Li. But if you really want to entrust a prostitute of Yuan Baoer's level for life, Li You is really not a good candidate in the eyes of snobbery.
It’s really no one’s fault, it’s just that people are against each other. The story of the courtesan and the poor scholar only exists in Wai Wai novels. Even the poor scholar still has a chance to win the gold list and become famous (see the endings of Wai Wai novels in this dynasty).
But Li You, a small official, is destined to remain a small official in the county government all his life. No matter how famous he is, no one can see that he has any way to rise. I think Tang Bohu didn't die in poverty, but Li You couldn't reach this level.
, but even if you can wait for Li You to make some money for the rest of your life, nothing can compare to the joy of entering the rich man's house from the beginning.
Li You laughed at himself at Lu Shangshu's washing party that he "cannot afford to support himself", which was half self-deprecation and half portrayal. At this time, he had no choice but to smile bitterly. The words of Mrs. Wang may not sound very pleasant, but in fact they are still well-intentioned... She really gave her sincere advice.
Yuan Baoer is relieved.
Having said that, Xue Yuanqing's gift was really important to Li You. Yuan Bao'er was worth at least a few dozen taels, and Madam Wang would have to be willing to sell it. Including the deregistered silver, the total would be at least a hundred or dozens of taels.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Yuan Bao'er, but saw that she was also peeking at Li You. The two of them looked at each other, and Li You was fine, but Yuan Bao'er tilted his head and looked away.
Li You sighed in his heart again, if you follow me, you will definitely suffer.
At this time, all the sedan bearers and porters were hired outside. After Yuan Baoer said goodbye to his sisters one by one, he handed the two large boxes and cages to the porters, carried a brocade parcel in his arms, and got on the sedan chair.
Li You led the way and led them home.
Xiaozhu was diligently filling the water tank at home. When she saw that the master had brought back a beautiful little girl, she felt very complicated. Although she had thought that such a day would come sooner or later, she still wanted to cry.
Li You's residence has three main halls, a front hall and a back corridor in the middle, with east and west rooms; one wing on each side. The east wing serves as the kitchen, and the west wing is where Xiaozhu sleeps. Li You lives in the east room of the main hall, which is considered the main room.
. Although Yuan Baoer's identity has not been confirmed, she is at most a concubine. She cannot live directly in Li You's main room, so she was placed in the west room. Yuan Baoer is a docile person, and Li You will do whatever she says.
Xiaozhu endured her sadness and helped Yuan Baoer clean up the house and arrange things. However, Yuan Baoer saw some clues, so he deliberately pulled her to talk intimately and gave her two pieces of jewelry. It didn't take long for Xiaozhu to become happy.
Seeing that there was nothing going on here, Li You was about to go to the county government office to find Mr. Huang. When he was about to leave, Xiaozhu ran to his ear and whispered: "Master! Sister Bao is richer than you. She brought back dozens of taels, and there are many more."
A piece of gold and silver jewelry. How did you kidnap it back? Is it raised at home by a member of the school village?"
Talking about money is too emotional. This is the bitter point of Li You, a dignified young man. He left the house without looking back. What a weak branch but a strong one...
