Datang: Salted fish at the beginning, Gao Yang was given marriage by Li Er

Chapter 247 Generous

In the middle of the plum month, the atmosphere of the year is getting stronger.

Sitting in front of the window lattice of the tea shop, Yi looked at the bustling crowd on the long street and the bright red peach charms displayed by the shop.

"The young master is punctual, which is a bit out of line with the young master's temperament."

The voice came from the side, with a touch of surprise.

Looking back, a figure with a white background and light apricot robe, a blue shirt, and a jade pendant around his waist walked slowly, sat across from him, and came back and forth with a smile on his face.

Even though he was dressed in a more casual manner, the person in front of him carried an indescribably noble aura, which was even better than ordinary rich people.

Li Xian brought tea from the corner of the table, filled a cup, and pushed the opposite figure over.

"Just kidding."

"Li is just an ordinary man, he manages for money, why is he so special?"

"Your Excellency is the coal stove, the biggest owner behind the tea shop, how dare I, Mr. Li, neglect you."

Hahaha.

Li Ke on the opposite side grinned very brightly.

"Mr. Li is a wonderful person, and the wonders he made are eye-catching. Just the same thing, let me make several times the profit of the previous charcoal business."

"Speaking of which, Brother Li clings to me, but I met a nobleman."

He is humble and well-spoken, but he praises himself, an unknown person, so that Li Xian has a good impression of him again.

After raising the cup, Li Xian said with a smile.

"Pleasant to work with."

bang.

The cups and cups mingled and made a crisp sound.

Li Ke took a sip, put down the cup, looked up at Li Xian, and asked casually.

"I heard Mr. Li enlisted with the army and joined the army as a recorder?"

"The days of the expedition are not easy."

The news of the expedition is not secret, but to be known by a businessman and even his official position, it seems that this person's connections in the court are really beyond his own guess.

Swaying his hands casually, Li Xian responded casually.

"It's ashamed to say it, but it's just relying on the prestige of Jiafu to get some rewards."

"It is said to be a recorder and join the army, but in fact it is just a salted fish staying in the tent of the Chinese army, going to see the scenery of the desert in the Western Regions."

There was a pause in his speech, and Li Xian looked at the opposite figure enjoying tea leisurely.

"My son is well-informed. He has not been appointed as an official at this time, but he can know it clearly."

Li Ke didn't shy away from Li Xian's doubts, pushed away half a cup of tea in front of him, and tapped the open space on the table.

"To tell you the truth, Mr. Li, from the princes of the royal family to the rich merchants in the imperial city, those who don't know me are all low-level merchants."

"How can we not have some friendship with the officials when we do this?"

"Young Master Li is the eldest son of Duke Wei, and he also advises the court, develops agriculture and mulberry, and solves the food and clothing of the people. It's hard not to know."

Hahaha.

Li Xian was amused by the words of praise, and waved his hands with a hearty smile.

"Your Excellency, please don't praise me like this, I, Li Xian, really can't bear such praise."

"Ms. Li just yearned for a bite to eat in winter, so he built a stove by chance. He didn't want to be rumored. It's just a warming thing, and you have forcibly touted it as a sharp weapon that benefits the country and the people."

Li Ke didn't want to get too entangled in this matter, so he frowned slightly and changed the subject.

"As far as I know, Mr. Li has lived in the mansion these years, rarely going out, and never served in the military camp."

"I don't know if I'm going to the barracks this time, but I'm ready?"

Whether it is due to the cooperation of merchants or the care of friends, such care is not out of the ordinary.

"Hi! Just a long trip."

Li Xian squeezed the teacup to touch a cup, relieved the dryness of his lips a little, and continued.

"I heard that the land of the Western Regions is covered in ice for thousands of miles, and it is extremely cold. It just so happens that I have brewed some fermented rice recently, and the taste is very good. It can warm the heart and refresh the mind. I plan to bring two pots."

"In the past few days, I have also prepared several sets of cotton-padded clothes, which are light and warm to keep warm. Presumably there are these two things. It will not be a problem to carry them for a period of time in the desert."

Hahaha.

Li Ke only thought that what Li Xian said earlier were some humble words, but he didn't expect that Li Xian's posture was completely out of sight.

After taking the tea and refilling the hot tea, Li Ke glanced at Li Xian and said.

"Everyone on the battlefield sharpens their knives and guns and mends their battle armor. It's rare for Mr. Li to be so leisurely and carefree."

Stopping the smile, Li Ke turned a look of awe.

"After all, swords and guns are ruthless, and wars are unpredictable. Mr. Li needs to be cautious."

"I have a piece of soft armor and some warm cloaks. I gave it to you, and it's not in vain to get acquainted."

As soon as the words were finished, the guard standing silently behind put down the box in his hand and placed it on the desk.

Remove the delicate copper lock on the side of the box, and push the opening towards Li Xian.

The soft armor is golden and shiny, the gold thread is fine and dense, hollow and winding, one can tell it is not extraordinary.

"This soft armor is taken from the land of Tubo. The texture is fine and soft, and it is invulnerable."

"I don't feel heavy when I wear it on my body, and it doesn't affect it even in daily actions. I hope Mr. Li will accept it."

The words are casual, just like giving an ordinary thing as a gift from a friend.

Li Xian waved his hands repeatedly and pushed the box back.

"How can this be? This soft armor looks extraordinary at first glance. I, Li Xian, have no virtue or ability. I am not worthy of wearing this armor."

"still……"

The box was suddenly blocked by the opposite force, Li Ke put his arm on the box, and opened his mouth with a smile.

"Even businessmen and friends, they can be regarded as some kind of friendship. Mr. Li is so out of touch, it's hard for me to do it."

"What's more, to send these items, I also came here for Mr. Li's other two sources of income."

Another exquisite box was put up, the lid of the box was carved with exquisite wolf heads, when the box was opened, a white cloak was neatly stacked in it, the shiny fur made people look at it, and couldn't help but want to touch it.

Li Ke's words interspersed without losing the opportunity, with a little expectation.

"Try it."

The hand was soft and delicate, and the warm feeling of fluff spread into the palm of his hand. Li Xian felt a touch of joy in his heart, and he gave a heartfelt admiration.

"nice one!"

Pushing the two boxes over again, Li Ke smiled.

"Mr. Li, you don't need to be polite. This is just a gift from some business friends. It is not used all year round, so it is left idle."

"That is, Mr. Li just needs these when going to and from the cold region of Mobei, so it is better to exchange for some merchants' profits."

"it is good!"

Li Xian is not a polite person, even if he is happy, the profit replacement of wine and clothes is more than enough.

Pressing down the lid of the box with the palm of his hand, Li Xian took it over.

"The workshop's brewing is already in production, and there is some surplus. You still need to go to Longyou to purchase Baidiezi. If you still have idle fields in your home, you can plant some, and you can save yourself from traveling back and forth."

Speaking of this, Li Xian smiled embarrassedly.

"However, I haven't found a suitable store for both of these, so I have to trouble the young master."

"I can't ask for it."

Li Ke smiled and cupped his hands towards Li Xian.

The two replaced the wine with tea, chatted for a long time, and parted happily.

The noon sun shines on the long street, Li Xianyi sits on the window sill, one side of his handsome face is bathed in the sun, looking at the figure downstairs waving farewell, showing his bright teeth, waving from a distance.

"Wei Wang, that soft armor is only for your body protection, such a precious thing..."

"Needless to say, it is best to send it out. Given time, this person will be of great use."
