Chapter 160, Circles

"Let’s talk about it, why did you come back one day late? Did the little girl stay with you for one more night?"

After talking to the three of Daohua for a while, Li Xingchang let the children at home take the three of them out to play, and after they left, he asked Li Xingnian.

Li Xingnian pretended to be mysterious and smiled: "Big brother, guess where we lived last night?"

Li Xingchang gave Li Xingnian angrily: "How old is he, and he's not serious, just say it."

Fan and Jiang also looked at Li Xingnian curiously.

Li Xingnian coughed, cleared his throat, and said with a little excitement: "Last night, we lived in the imperial palace of Mount Wuhua."

"what?!"

Li Xingchang and the three were all surprised: "Quickly talk about it, what's going on?"

Li Xingnian was not in the ink this time, and told Daohua to see Xiao Yeyang.

Hearing that Daohua and Xiao Wangye are very familiar with each other, Li Xingchang looked a little sighed: "My little girl is now a little bit better."

Li Xingnian nodded: "Yes, as long as these three children are there, even if the brother-in-law doesn't like the businessman in his heart, he still has to give the little sister a bit of face."

Fan and Jiang looked at each other, and whispered: "This woman, after all, has to rely on her own children. Children must make a living and their waists are hard."

Man or something, three wives and four concubines, love the new and dislike the old, the most unreliable.

Li Xingchang: "I didn't expect the Yan family to have such an adventure."

Li Xingnian: "This is thanks to the girl Daohua. If it weren't for her, I think our brother-in-law is still staying in the county magistrate's position."

Fan interjected: "It really doesn't look like this rice flower grew up in the country. I think it's more outstanding than some noble ladies."

She really didn't expect Dao Peanut to have such a beautiful appearance. What is more surprising is her generous and calm temperament. Fortunately, she was worried that the concubine in the backyard of the Yan family would compare her to her.

Li Xingnian smiled and said, “Lady Yan loves rice flowers very much, even in the countryside they grow well.”

Jiang smiled: "I see, it's the little girl who has a good foundation. This is how she has such a clever daughter."

Fan: "Tell us what the royal palace is like?"

Li Xingnian immediately described what he saw and heard in the palace.

After talking about the palace, Li Xingnian took a sip of tea and talked about other things.

"By the way, this time in the past, the little girl told me in private that the girl Daohua had produced some high-yield grains, and my brother-in-law is trying to grow them. If it succeeds, my brother-in-law's political achievements will be on top. "

Li Xingchang's expression lifted: "Really?" The bigger the brother-in-law, the better he will be to the Li family.

Li Xingnian nodded: "It's still in the experimental stage, but it will succeed in all likelihood. The Yan clan has tried planting before."

Li Xingchang was a little excited: “Improving food production is a great achievement. If this is promoted, our brother-in-law will go up again.”

Li Xingnian continued to laugh and said: “The little girl also said that the watermelons sold so well last year, and she also left us some seeds so that we could also plant them on our own village.”

Li Xingchang looked happy: "This is a good thing. Last year's watermelon was in short supply. When many people got it, we were out of stock. I felt at a loss. If we could grow it this year, we would definitely make a good profit. ."

Li Xingnian: "By the way, big brother, what do you think of the wine made from Daohua?"

Li Xingchang immediately said, “Of course it’s delicious, why, but what did the little girl say?”

Li Xingnian shook his head: "It's not the little girl, it's Daohua. She said she would sell us the brewing recipe, and ask us if we want it?"

At this moment, Li Xingchang, Fan and Jiang were all stunned.

After a long time, Li Xingchang laughed and scolded: "How old is this girl, dare you start a business on your own?"

Li Xingnian thought of Daohua's serious business dealings with her, and was a little bit amused: "She said, she wants to buy a Zhuangzi, and lacks silver. There are so many brewing processes that need professional people to watch, and she can't take care of it."

Fan curiously asked: "How much silver does she want?"

Li Xingnian smiled again: "The girl said, let us give it whatever she wants. She believes that her uncle and aunt will not let her suffer. You listened to what she said, and she said it completely. a bit."

Li Xingchang laughed for a while, and then asked: "Does the younger sister and brother-in-law know about this?" This is a big deal for buying and selling wine.

In these years, whether it’s brewing or dispensing medicine, even if it’s a recipe, wherever the recipe is involved, which family doesn’t cherish it well, and pass it on from generation to generation as a family heirloom?

Li Xingnian: "The little girl said, this is Daohua's own business, let her be the master. As for the brother-in-law, she has never asked about these things."

Li Xingchang thought for a while: "Wine is an exquisite thing. It's really going to be brewed. Don't worry about not selling it. This is feasible." He said and smiled, "In this way, I will talk to Daohua in person later. This business."

Hearing this, Li Xingnian all laughed.

Fan sighed: "It's not wasted that we give Daohua something every year, and I hurt her once. This girl knows how to be grateful and knows to help her uncle's family."

Jiang followed with a smile: "Yes." So Chong Daohua took the initiative to sell the wine recipe to the Li family, and you can see that this girl is close to the Li family.

In the courtyard of the Li family, Daohua was watching sister Li Zixuan performing with a look of wonder.

Li Zixuan played the 箜篌, Li Zixin danced, and the two cooperated very tacitly.

The music is beautiful, the dance is beautiful, and it is very pleasing to the eye.

Yan Wenkai clapped on the side, and said to Daohua: "Big sister, you should learn a little too."

Just about to nod, Daohua listened to Yan Wenxiu, who was on the side, said, "Big sister doesn't need to learn this."

Yan Wenkai and Daohua were stunned at the same time, and looked at their elder brother in confusion.

Yan Wenxiu did not explain, and went to the Li brothers to chat about other things.

"What do you mean, big brother?" Daohua was a little puzzled.

Yan Wenkai also looked dazed, scratching the back of his head, and said uncertainly: "Could it be that singing and dancing are the trails of entertaining and entertaining people?"

Daohua's face appeared in a daze.

Yes, in ancient times, dancing in public did not seem to be a glorious thing.

She just said, she has also participated in several banquets of various ladies. Everyone gathers together to drink tea and admire flowers, chant poems, etc. There is no talent show at all.

Daohua raised her eyes to the two cousins ??who performed seriously on the stage, and sighed in her heart that the ancient social circles were really distinct, and from the girls’ gatherings, we could also see that the status of merchants was not high.

Yan Wenkai was still sullen and pensive. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that dancing in public was a pleasure. It was not very good. He wondered: "Since dancing is not good, why should the uncle and the two cousins ??learn?"

Daohua sighed: "Because the circle they are in needs."

As long as the Li family still has to deal with other merchants, they will inevitably participate in gatherings among merchants. Other business ladies are learning, if they don't learn, they won't be able to join this circle.

Yan Wenkai thought for a while, and felt that it was really such a thing.

Take them practicing martial arts with the little prince. If he and the third brother don’t work hard, can’t keep up with the little prince and their progress, and can’t fight with others when they are fighting, then even if they know the little prince first, You can't be in the same class as the little prince.

"Dancing in public is not good. How about we remind the two cousins ??to stop dancing?"

Daohua shook her head quickly, looked around, and saw that no one was paying attention to them, she whispered: "Don't, brother, do you think your uncle and aunt don't know? They know, but they still did it, for sure. They have their own ideas and reasons."

"If we put it forward rashly, it will annoy them and make them think that we look down on them." She knew that her mother had always been grudges against her merchant.

Upon hearing this, Yan Wenkai nodded immediately, saying that he would not say it anymore.

"Cousin, what are you and your fourth brother whispering without watching our performance?" Li Zixin's voice came over.

Yan Wenkai blurted out: "We are saying that your dance is so beautiful!"

Hearing this, Li Zixin stood on the stage and raised his head triumphantly: "Every time I participate in a banquet of another family, my dance, my big sister's song, can win the first name."

Looking at the glorious and confident look of the two sisters on stage, Daohua smiled and applauded.

Different circles and different pursuits, so there is no need to comment with a worldly perspective.
