After the four of them entered Lantian County, Li Anran first went to the county government to complete the procedures for buying, selling and leasing wasteland. Then he and Zheng Chenggong came to a warehouse under Tongfuji's name to inspect the prepared high-quality wood, and then went to Tongfuji to buy two hundred-year-old wild ginseng with excellent quality and large portions. Finally, he returned to the exquisite small courtyard that he had bought.
Although I spent a lot of artificial gems in my pocket after running this trip, compared with the huge profits generated between the in and out, the money to buy artificial gems is really nothing. Even to a certain extent, the good wood bought this time is like a free pickup of ginseng.
After purchasing the goods, Li Anran originally thought of doing everything to do to buy servants and hire workers, but he wasted some time on the way. In addition, he also spent a lot of effort on the purchase of land and renting land and accepting wood. After finishing all these, it was already evening. So he had to go back to the small courtyard and host the banquet for Gu Bangcai and the other three to show his feelings.
Unfortunately, Zhao Erpo, the only one who has taught Li Anran's cooking skills, has already gone to Xiaoyao Villa. Although he had left some good wines in this small courtyard before, and even the evening banquet was ordered directly from Hongfulou, after just enjoying the wonderful taste of cooking, these usually good delicacies suddenly became much more beautiful.
Fortunately, from ancient times to the present, it has not been a meal, but an atmosphere. In addition, the curved plow has been completely completed and the filtration technology has been used in the salt industry. The atmosphere of this meal at night is still very warm. Su Xiaomei, who has been redeemed, also attended the dinner, adding a lot of color to the supper with her beautiful singing voice and moving dance posture. However, when she looked at someone, a hint of resentment appeared in her eyes.
After sending Gu Bangcai and the other two away, Li Anran just returned to the inner hall and saw a beautiful figure in bud sitting there. Thinking back to the look at the banquet before, Li Anran, who was somewhat embarrassed, couldn't help but touch his nose.
"Young Master, isn't I doing something bad?" Su Xiaomei, who stood up and walked to her, said with a red look on her eyes.
"Uh...no, when I'm not here, didn't you take care of this place well?" Li Anran, who had to take on the airs of a real person, replied pretending to be ignorant.
"That's what Pu Liu is like in my family, which makes the real person dislike?" Su Xiaomei continued to say in a resentful tone.
"Xiao Mei, why did you say this? If you were also like Pu Liu, wouldn't those wives older than you become old ladies?" Li Anran said with laughter and cry as he looked up and down at the other party's youthful and beautiful appearance and figure.
"Then why did the young master leave my family here alone?" Su Xiaomei said with resentful eyes flashing.
"Isn't this the shop in the county town and the courtyard no one cares about? I'm not at ease when I leave it to others, so I can only feel wronged Xiaomei, take care of you." After touching his nose, Li Anran had to explain in words that he didn't believe it.
"Young master, but I have learned how to use piano, chess, calligraphy and painting..." Su Xiaomei, who knew that her new master was not those ordinary people, said with courage.
"Xiao Mei's words are reasonable. Let's do this. Let's try to find someone with competent people first. If you are willing, go back to Xiaoyao Villa with me. However, this capable person is easy to find, but someone worthy of my trust..." Li Anran, who saw that he was not able to express his opinion, gave a quick reply after a moment of pondering.
"really?"
"really."
With such an answer, Su Xiaomei's originally resentful eyes suddenly became happy and smiled.
In fact, Su Xiaomei also knew that it was a kind of trust that the new master in front of him could hand over the courtyards and shops to him for management. But after all, he was just a geisha from a brothel. Even though he lived in that environment when he was young, he learned some ways to protect himself and manage his home business after hearing and hearing. However, he could manage the backyard. If he was not good at making such a big stall, it would be easy to get things done.
Once she made a big mistake and failed to occupy enough position in someone's heart, she may face the fate of being punished or even resold again. This is not something Su Xiaomei, who has just left the "tiger's mouth", would like to see. Therefore, compared to staying in the county town to manage the small courtyards and shops, she would rather go to Xiaoyao Villa to stay by someone's side.
"Young master, you can try to ask Manager Wu and the others to help you to see if you can find a suitable candidate." Su Xiaomei, who had finally settled down in her heart with the promise just now, said.
Originally, he planned to use a small courtyard and three shops to deal with this beautiful ancient girl. Seeing that the matter was unsuccessful, Li Anran could only nod and said, "Hehe... I have thought about this too. Since you don't want to stay, you can only do this."
"Young Master, if you don't want to ask Manager Wu and the others for help, I have a word, and I don't know whether to say it or not." Su Xiaomei, who has lived in a brothel for so long and has learned to observe the words and expressions, hesitated for a moment and said.
"Oh? You are my person now. You can just say something, it doesn't matter if you say it wrong." Looking at the other party's desire to speak but stop, Li Anran said with a smile.
"I know someone in my family, and I should be able to help the young master." Su Xiaomei said.
"That's good, I wonder who this person is?" Li Anran said with a smile, who was stunned for a moment.
"This person's surname is Chen, his name is Boyu, his courtesy name is Zi'ang, and he is from Shehong, Zizhou. When he was young, he also studied behind closed doors and read all the classics and history schools. He was generous by nature and liked to interact with others. Later, due to sudden changes in his family, his family's fortunes were lost. Now he is making a living in Lantian County. If the young master is interested, this person should be seen at first." Su Xiaomei, who personally poured a cup of tea and handed it to him, said.
"Oh? It seems that Xiaomei is very familiar with this Chen Boyu." Li Anran, who took the teacup, said with a smile.
As a modern person, Li Anran doesn't care about girls knowing the opposite sex. Not to mention that Su Xiaomei is a brothel woman. Although she is still a gentleman, she can't get in touch with the opposite sex when she treats people. Moreover, at the other party's age, she is more than enough to be her own sister. The reason why she says this is just to adjust the atmosphere.
But he didn't think that the words were unintentional, and the listener was intentional. After hearing this, Su Xiaomei immediately knelt on the spot, and then said with a slightly red look: "Young Master clearly saw that I had only received the kindness of Chen Zi'ang's life-saving grace, and I felt that I could not repay me, so I would recommend it. There is nothing wrong with it. If I don't believe it, it should be verified."
"I'll go! Just kidding, is it that serious?" Seeing the other party's reaction so loudly, Li Anran was speechless and did not forget to pull the other party up, then smiled and shook his head and said, "Xiao Mei, I don't have any intention. Since Chen Zi'ang has life-saving grace, it can be seen that this person is not bad. Let's do this, let's ask the other party to come tomorrow. As long as this Chen Zi'ang can satisfy me, you can use it."
"Young Master, you..." Su Xiaomei, who thought she was eager to repay her kindness and was about to face the anger of thunder, said in surprise when she looked at her expression that was not fake.
"Xiao Mei, I believe you have heard of my origin. To me, the things in this world are like mirrors, water and moon. In the past hundreds of years, I will play in the world, experience the seven emotions and six desires of ordinary people, birth, old age, sickness and death, but will not sink into it."
"You can meet me because of fate. You can say anything clearly, and there is no need to be taboos. As for your future, if you want to follow me, you will have your place in the future. If you don't want to, you can say it now, and I will become a beauty of man."
If you say this, it’s really not that Li Anran pretends to be Bo Yi. Although the air here in the Tang Dynasty is good and it’s easy to make money, it’s really not as convenient as modern time and space. As for whether Chen Zi'ang was an undercover sent by Li Shimin, this is not important at all.
