Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

In the end, Li Qiu joked, how about you also learn from Sun Simiao and hang your portrait on the patriarch's seat?

It made Wei Ting laugh and scold him a few words, do you still want me to live two more years?

If that's the case, I'm afraid that the censors and officials of the court will drown themselves with spit the next day.

In the end, he also agreed.

In addition to giving wine to these people, Li Qiu also specially sent a half-carriage of fine wine to the palace to honor His Majesty.

After learning about this, Empress Changsun invited him into the palace.

Pulled him to chat for a long time about homework.

Finally, before leaving, Empress Changsun sent the eunuch Xu De to personally send Li Qiu out of the palace.

Xu De, that is the most trusted old eunuch beside Empress Changsun.

In terms of status, even ordinary officials of the fourth and fifth ranks are very polite when they see him.

"Eunuch Xu, I am really flattered to have you personally escort me out of the palace."

"Li Qiu is very grateful, you should go back quickly."

At this time, Xu De said to Li Qiu with an extremely kind and gentle smile: "Your Majesty, you have entered the palace to deliver wine to His Majesty."

"It's a manifestation of the utmost loyalty and filial piety. I should personally send you out, my lord."

"Look, my lord, how happy the empress is to see you, my lord."

"From now on, if there is a chance, I hope you can come to the palace to sit often, my lord."

Li Qiu smiled wryly at this time, "Actually, I, Your Majesty and Your Majesty, also hope to get closer and visit more often."

"But this forbidden area of ​​the palace is always inconvenient for me, a foreign minister."

After hearing his words, Xu De quickly waved his hands, "Oh! My lord!"

"Our sage and empress really like you very much."

"It's okay, I still hear my mother talking about you all the time."

"As for the forbidden area of ​​the palace, it is only for those unwelcome courtiers."

"Just like you, like the eldest grandson, even if you come every day, the emperor and empress will not hold grudges."

After hearing his words, Li Qiu couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart.

My Mr. Xu, the eldest grandson is the mother's brother, the most caring and trustworthy buddy of His Majesty back then.

I can't compare myself to others...

As for the old eunuch Xu De, he is also a person who reads words and looks, and looks like a human being. Just by looking at his expression, one can tell what he is thinking at the moment.

So he said with a vague smile: "My lord, you don't have to belittle yourself."

"Perhaps, maybe, in the hearts of Your Majesty and Your Majesty, you are much more important than the eldest grandson."

"By the way, Your Majesty has explained before that you have sent fifty altars of shooting Sirius this time, and the price is 25 guan per altar."

"The price of these wines is 120 fifty taels of gold."

"I've put it in your car."

Chapter 179

Hearing Xu De's words, Li Qiu was naturally surprised and evaded.

Said that this wine was specially given to His Majesty by himself.

And Xu De told him with a smile, "Our Datang is not short of this drink money."

"What about your wish, the emperor and empress accept it."

"But this money is specially ordered by the empress, and must be given to you."

There was no other way, so Li Qiu had no choice but to return to the small restaurant with the gold.

But when he came back here, the tavern was closed and closed.

There is still more than an hour before the curfew.

And when Li Qiu walked into the house through the back door, Wu Jue and others were sitting there chatting.

Seeing Li Qiu coming in, the three children Wang Xuance, Gao Kan, and Xue Rengui hurriedly stood up and saluted respectfully.

Wu Jue greeted him with a smile, "Brother Li Qiu, you are back."

Li Qiu nodded, then pointed to the store door.

"Well, Wu Jue, who are you?"

Wu Jue smiled and spread his hands, "There are only so many altars in our batch of shooting Sirius."

"Except for the ones that were given away, there are more than eighty altars left, and all of them were sold today."

After hearing her words, Li Qiu was shocked, "What? More than 80 jugs of wine, all of which were sold in less than a day?"

Wu Jue nodded with a smile, "Yeah, we didn't expect to sell it so fast."

"We earned two hundred and eighty taels of gold today."

"Maybe it's been a long time since our Sky Wolf has appeared, so let's all grab it."

"However, there is one thing that is very strange. Logically speaking, I know most of the famous people in Chang'an City."

"But today, I don't even know any of those people who buy wine directly with gold."

"And these people are also extremely generous, at least they buy five altars."

Hearing Wu Jue's words, Li Qiu didn't take it seriously, "Never mind them."

"As long as you can make money, it's fine. We're in business. Anyone who comes is a customer."

Speaking of this, Li Qiu suddenly remembered something that terrified him.

"Wu Jue, I asked you to keep the wine I wanted to take to your house, did you keep it?"

Wu Jue nodded shyly, "You asked me to keep fifteen altars."

"But in the end I only kept ten altars."

"My dad, let him drink less wine..."

Afterwards, Li Qiu accompanied Wu Jue to respond to the Duke's Mansion.

Wang Xuance took his two juniors and returned to the Furong Garden with his servants.

After arriving at Duke Ying's mansion, Wu Jue's two elder brothers, Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang, came to greet him at the door in person.

As soon as he saw Li Qiu, he smiled and greeted him very warmly, "My lord!"

As for Li Qiu, he nodded to them very politely, said a few polite words, and walked in directly with Wu Sui.

He has been to Duke Ying's mansion many times and is very familiar with it.

After Li Qiu and Wu Jue walked away, the brothers Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang couldn't help but look at each other and sighed softly.

This concubine younger sister of mine is becoming more and more irresistible now.

In that era, the disparity in status between the concubine and the concubine was beyond the reach of future generations.

Especially between the elder brother who was born on the first line and the daughter who was born by the concubine, the difference between the two is even greater.

However, this phenomenon is a special case in Ying Guogong's mansion.

This Wu Jue is really beautiful, and also smart, knowing how to please people.

Day after day, she coaxed her father, the samurai, into a happy smile;

So for this daughter, Samurai Xun is like a jewel in the palm of his hand, caring and loving in every possible way.

Wu Jue's status in this mansion is far stronger than that of her two elder brothers.

So, it's a very normal thing. In the hearts of Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang, they have always hated Wu Jue and her mother, Mrs. Yang.

They also only hope that one day they will be the masters of their own affairs, and they must make Mrs. Yang and Wu Jue look good.

However, things backfired.

Wu Sui's fate is good.

While his father was still in good health, Wu Jue found another good husband.

Although Li Qiu is in the court, he is not welcomed by those gentry.

But don't forget one thing, among those ministers above the court, which one is not the patriarch or the leader of the family?

With such authority, they can't do anything to Li Qiu.

People like Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang don't even have titles or official positions, and they don't even count as small shrimps.

It's not a weight class at all.

And the most important point, although Li Qiu was very polite, easy-going, and polite to them, the aura that Li Qiu revealed invisibly made the two of them tremble in their hearts.

Completely suppressed the aura.

If you want to say that the two of them have any unfavorable thoughts about Wu Jue now, they absolutely dare not.

After entering the living room, the samurai Xun had already been waiting here.

Li Qiu and Wu Sui saluted respectfully.

As for the samurai Xun, he smiled and pulled the two of them over and sat down.

"Li Qiu, I heard from the girl that your Furong Garden has been very busy recently."

Li Qiu smiled, "That's right, Uncle, there have been a lot of things recently."

"While teaching those children in the academy, I am also busy making wine."

At this time, someone also brought up the ten altars of shooting Sirius and 100 taels of gold brought by Li Qiu.

"Uncle, this is our latest batch of Sirius."

"The taste is better than the previous ones, you can try it when you have time."

"This batch of wine is also selling very well, and it's all sold out in just one day."

"I'm really grateful to return these 100 taels of gold to you, Uncle."

At this time, the warrior Xun smiled and nodded, "You child, what's the rush to pay back the money?"

"In our family, there are not many other things, except that there is a lot of money."

"As for why your Sky Wolf is selling so fast, it's not difficult to understand."

"It can be said that you are the only one who owns the entire Chang'an City, and even the entire Tang Dynasty."

"These people have already tasted this wine in your tavern."

"Later, due to various reasons, this wine was out of stock on the market. They haven't drunk it for half a year. Can you not think about it?"

"Rare is the most expensive thing. Don't say you sell Doujiu for [-], even if you sell Doujiu for [-], they have to buy it!"

"Li Qiu, you just came today, so you can have dinner at my place tonight."

"Accompany uncle to have a good drink or two."

The samurai Xun said so, how dare Li Qiu disobey?

But it didn't matter if he drank it, he drank until midnight.

The city gates were closed, so Li Qiu couldn't go back, so he asked the warrior Xun to stay in the mansion overnight.

When Wu Jue personally brought Li Qiu to the guest room and made the mattress for him, the maids quietly retreated out with great insight, and even closed the door behind them...

Li Qiu, who had been drinking a lot, sat directly on the bed, smiling and hugging Wu Jue's body into his arms.

Chapter 180 Wang Gui, You Are Too Young

Li Qiu's actions provoked Wu Jue to let out a soft cry, then smiled lightly and tried to push him away, but failed.

At this time, Li Qiu was sitting on the bed, with his arms around Wu Jue's waist and legs, and there was a fragrance of virginity in his nostrils.
