Chapter 391 Money is like flowing water, making money is like a thread
Li Changsheng’s purpose is very simple.
If she didn't solve this kind of thing, she would have no prestige among the servants in the future. He put everyone to death, and then let Li Jinping be extra kind, so that these people would follow her wholeheartedly in the future.
Li Jinping easily understood the trick, but she was used to being poor since childhood, and has been served like a young grandmother these days, which made her very uncomfortable, so she said to everyone, "Get up."
"We dare not get up until our third young lady has spared our lives."
Li Jinping said: "Before I met the Third Young Master, I was just like you. I was just a woman from ordinary people. I had my own hands and feet. I will tell Qingcheng that from today, I don't need anyone to serve you. Go wherever you come from."
Although this is said, for all the maids and nannies, it is equivalent to being expelled from the house. The servant next to him said, "My grandma, you have spared your life. Can't you hear her words? Why are you still standing there?"
Although everyone saved their lives, they lost their jobs and had to leave in disappointment. They worked as a maid in the Li family in Jinling and were well-fed, especially at the age of an old lady, they could get a considerable severance payment and go home to take care of their elderly parents. Now that they have lost their jobs, she has a lot of hatred in her eyes. When she went back to pack up the package, she also took a few expensive silverware before leaving Shanhefang.
As soon as I left, I met an old man and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, I see that your Yin Tang is black and has a dull face. You must have encountered something unpleasant?"
The old lady said, "My aunt has just lost her job and is not in the mood to joke with you. You are so bad old man."
The old man said, "You are from the mansion, I want to come to ask you for something."
"Get out of here, I'm annoyed..." When she saw a piece of bright silver in front of her, she immediately changed her words, "I've been here for decades, just talk if you have anything to do."
"I want to ask, the third young master of the Li family is going to marry the young grandma recently. Which room does that woman live in now?" As he said that, he stuffed the silver into the old nanny's hand.
This old man is Li Lingcai, Guifanlou.
In the past few days, he did not leave Jinling, but lurked, waiting for an opportunity to attack Li Jinping, and he was afraid of Li Qingcheng's swordsmanship and did not dare to break in.
When the old lady heard this, she immediately became interested, "You can ask the right person."
...
Under the leadership of Li Qingcheng, Fan Wuchang came to Shanhefang. Boss Fan was shocked by the scene of Shanhefang at first sight. It was simple and noble, with a low-key look luxurious. Even a piece of tiles or a tree in the market had a place to come from, and it felt like Liu Laolao had entered the Grand View Garden, and her eyes were not enough.
"Where is the bride?"
Xiao Jinyan teased, "Old Fan, I'm not right when I come to ask about the bride, right?"
Fan Wuchang said dissatisfiedly, "I came all the way to send gifts. I spent so much money along the way. If I didn't see it with my own eyes, wouldn't it seem insincere?"
Li Qingcheng took him to the villa.
Seeing Li Jinping sitting alone in the yard, he asked the maid. Li Jinping told him what had happened before, and Li Qingcheng followed her, "If you don't like it, you won't make any arrangements."
When Fan Wuchang saw Li Jinping, his eyes lit up and looked around her up and down, making Li Jinping's face flushed.
"You really have a good wife."
Li Qingcheng laughed, "It's just good luck."
Fan Wuchang took out the ten big money given by Li Lihua from his arms and stringed it up with a red rope. "I don't have anything to give when I first met, and a little gift is not respectable."
After saying that, I want
Help Li Jinping put it on.
Li Jinping felt a little embarrassed and looked at Li Qingcheng. Li Qingcheng smiled slightly, "Boss Fan is a little bit of his heart and accept it."
Fan Wuchang put the big money between Li Jin's bottleneck, stretched out another finger, and gently tapped between her eyebrows.
Li Jinping only felt a cold on his forehead, and he didn't think it was strange. He just thought it was their customs and didn't care.
After giving the gift, Fan Wuchang suddenly became arrogant, "It's time to eat, and I'm tired of eating big fish and meat along the way, so I'll have some light dishes."
When Li Qingcheng heard this, he called the servants, called him to the side and gave orders, and arranged a residence for the two of them in the other side of the courtyard. At this time, Li Xiaohua sent someone to find him, so he said goodbye first.
Xiao Jinyan looked at Fan Wuchang, "Be lighter, this doesn't look like your personality."
Fan Wuchang smiled, "I often hear people say that wealthy people pay great attention to their meals. If you want to eat big fish and meat, it seems that we have never seen the world. Even light dishes are definitely not bad. At least it is a bird's nest that is thousands of years old and a thousand-year-old bamboo shoot."
"It's understandable that bird's nests are bamboo fossils that have been around for thousands of years?"
"Just give an example, please look good."
After a while, a servant brought the food box. When he opened it, he saw steamed elbows, boiled pig's trotters, and boiled meat slices in sugar and water. Although it was light, it was difficult to eat.
Fan Wuchang said dissatisfiedly, "Didn't you say it's lighter?"
The servant said, "As the young master told me, I didn't put salt on purpose, it was already light enough."
The meal was boring, and Fan Wuchang asked Xiao Jinyan to take him around. Although Xiao Jinyan's economy was not that tight during this period, he paid for the food and drink along the way, and his bag was empty. At first, he refused, but later he could not resist Fan Wuchang's nagging and had to come out.
Although Suzhou is also rich, it is still much worse than Jinling. After walking through Confucius Temple and Huguo Temple, it came to the Qinhuai River without realizing it.
Fan Wuchang looked at the pleasure boat in the river and was ready to move, "It is said that famous prostitutes in Qinhuai are famous all over the world, so why not go up and go for a walk?"
"You are so old, aren't it?"
Fan Wuchang said, "I should go up and eat so vegetarian food at noon. You know, I was a veteran of flowers back then, known as a fan of the crowd. I was accidentally attracted by a girl. If I promised it, wouldn't I have to worry about eating and drinking for the rest of my life?"
"Isn't this a soft meal?"
Fan Wuchang corrected the truth, "This is called rational use of resources."
It happened that the Twelve Beauties' pleasure boat passed by. Xiao Jinyan waved his hand, and the pleasure boat approached the shore and picked up the two of them.
Zhao Ya was on the boat. She knew Xiao Jinyan and went up to greet her. The actor on the boat was exposed, but Fan Wuchang looked cramped, his hands were not where to put them, and his eyes were not where to look. He kept his head down, but couldn't help but look up and secretly glanced at him.
Xiao Jinyan remembered the first time he went to a brothel. He knew it was the first time he had such a romantic occasion, so he ordered Zhao Ya to arrange a few people to sing a few songs.
Fan Wuchang looked at the pleasure boat, his mouth full of tsk sounds. The table was made of golden nanmu, the chair was made of yellow rosewood, and the tea set on it was made of mutton fat jade. While complimenting, he was calculating how much it would cost to build such a boat. Even the girl who sang the song was too lazy to go and watch it.
Inadvertently, Fan Wuchang put a teacup of mutton fat jade into his sleeve, thought for a while, then took it out and put it back.
Zhao Ya saw this in her eyes and smiled, "If you like it, I'll give it to you."
Xiao Jinyan said, "How can you do it? Don't look at this person."
Boss Fan dresses simply. He is the richest man in Suzhou City. You can pay a price for this cup."
"When you talk about money, wouldn't it be vulgar?"
"It's okay, he's a vulgar person."
"It's not worth much, it's only a few dozen taels of silver."
When Fan Wuchang heard this, he put down the teacup and pushed it into the distance, for fear that he would get damaged. He smiled awkwardly, grabbed a handful of snacks, stuffed them into his mouth, and then changed the subject and said to Xiao Jinyan, "This song is nice!"
Xiao Jinyan said again, "The peach blossom crisp you ate, also known as the beauty's smile, is produced from Taohua Mountain in the east of the city. It was passed down by a strange woman back then, and each one is worth three or four taels of silver."
"puff!"
Fan Wuchang almost spit out, "So expensive?"
Xiao Jinyan spread his hands, "So you don't dare to eat me?" He said again, "Whoever proposes to pay for the rules in the Fengyue field? The world only has gambling debts and Fengyue debts, and cannot be done for you. Miss Zhao, how much do you calculate?"
Zhao Ya was surprised in her heart that with Xiao Jinyan and Li Qingcheng, he didn't have to spend money to come here, but he soon realized that Xiao Jinyan was deliberately pranking the boss Fan, so he followed, "It's only more than two hundred taels, I'll wipe the fraction, it's enough to be two hundred."
"Aren't you cheating me?"
Fan Wuchang shouted, "Where do I have money?"
Xiao Jinyan smiled and said, "Old Fan, you have been wearing these boots for a while. You don't even take them off when you sleep every day, especially the heels are polished. I guess you can't help but touch your heels when you dream? You said, what would she think if I told Mrs. Fan?"
Fan Wuchang was so angry that he blew his beard and took off his shoes and said, "I saved up this pocket money for more than ten years. You are going to kill me."
Halfway through, the smell of the pleasure boat was so stinking that several actors could not help but cover their noses and came out.
Zhao Yaxin said that after the money was collected, the pleasure boat had to be hung on for three or five days before business, and said, "Forget it, forget it, we don't want this money."
Fan Wuchang was overjoyed when he heard this, "You see, I won't give it to you."
Before getting off the boat, he grabbed two pieces of peach blossom crisps and put them in his arms. Fan Wuchang said, "This kind of place will never come again if you kill me."
“Why?”
"Spend money is like flowing water, and making money is like pulling silk." Fan Wuchang thought again, "However, Suzhou has mountains and rivers, and it is also a pleasure boat. It's a way to make money. Forget it, my wife will definitely not agree."
...
As the wedding date approaches, Li Qingcheng deals with people who come to visit every day and has all kinds of red tape. After a day, he is exhausted. This kind of social engagement is really even more tiring than practicing swordsmanship.
When he returned to the room, Li Jinping had already rested.
He reached out to get the tea, but saw a sword standing on the table.
The sword name is "Qingcheng."
When the sword technique was in its inception, Li Xiaohua found two peerless swords, one was Qingcheng and the other was Jinghong. Not long ago, the Jinghong sword was damaged during the battle with Li Changzheng, and this Qingcheng sword was always in the hands of Li Jinghong.
It appeared here now.
Li Jinghong has arrived.
Li Qingcheng was completely sleepy and chased him out, but there was no Li Jinghong's figure. However, at least one thing can be confirmed that Li Jinghong was not dead.
She had decided to pursue the Great Way of Eternal Life and traveled to Taihu Lake with Xiao Jinyan, but she fulfilled her wish and sent the Sword back again. The meaning was also very obvious, and she completely cut off relations with the Li family in Jinling.
