Bandit Reborn

, and no longer imagined the illusory internal strength, mobilized all the surviving brain cells, and finally came up with an idea that was a bit unhandy, he decided to knit a sweater for himself.

Li Huaixi's plan was very good, but after writing the book, this high-spirited traveler once again discovered his own shortcomings.In his previous life, his father didn't love his mother or his mother. Although he met his master later, even though such a big man treated him like his own son and taught him all kinds of skills, he never taught him how to knit a sweater ( His master himself doesn’t know how), at most, he will buy him a few sweaters produced on the assembly line from the mall when the weather is cold. He didn't even know that it was so easy to weave one by himself now that he was so whimsical!

When recuperating in bed and having nothing to do, Li Huaixi thought the process of knitting sweaters was quite simple. He knew how to weave baskets, weave baskets and fishnets. It was not difficult, so after I recovered from my illness, I cut a dozen bamboo needles, and I was full of ambition to try my hand with cotton thread.

In the middle, Lin Yichen came again twice, and finally found an opportunity to complain to Li Huaixi, but unfortunately, his sweetheart didn't buy it, and just said "ask for it" lightly and left him alone, which made the governor who pretended to be pitiful very helpless, and when he left , Li Huaixi assigned him another task, he wanted wool.

Lin Yichen didn't know what wool was, so Li Huaixi described it to him. A few days later, the craftsmen of Lin's family spun the wool, which was qualified in other standards except that it was thinner.But Li Huaixi's weaving experiment has not been successful. Originally, he planned to continue to study, but unfortunately his mother couldn't stand it.The cotton thread wasted by the youngest son piled up several baskets, and she couldn't choose to open it, all of which were unusable, and she couldn't stand a half-sized boy sitting at home all day playing with needles and threads. After finally asking her youngest son's plan, the butcher's wife He laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten up.

"Silly son, this is not a job you can do well. I still think you are busy with it. Isn't it just making woolen clothes? Mother will make it for you."

"You know how to knit sweaters?!" Li Huaixi was astonished holding the bamboo needle in his hand.

"I don't know how to weave any pattern, silly son, although our family hasn't woven cloth for several years, the loom is still there, what do you think? Get a few sticks and play around there , If you have the time to tell, I can knit several feet for you."

Li Huaixi understood what his mother meant. When his mother said that she could weave, she meant that she could weave cloth, not knitting sweaters.But this is not bad. After a few days of exploration and experimentation, Li Xiucai has recognized his own weight. The hope of weaving sweaters and trousers is too slim, and the woolen coats are really good. It just so happens that the wool produced by the Lin family is also not Fine, it is just right for weaving.

Li Huaixi, who didn't have to knit sweaters at home, spent a few days at ease. On September [-]th, the provincial examination results were released as scheduled.Li Huaixi had no suspense in high school Jieyuan. Although he was already ill in the last event, his throat was terribly hurt at that time, but he didn't faint, so it didn't affect his grades.

The other people's grades were also good. Li Long once again got a low grade in the exam. Duan Zhengchun and He Chongwen were also on the list and became Juren.

After Duan Zhengchun released the rankings, he went home to glorify his ancestors. Young Master He dressed up in fancy clothes and lingered at various banquets every day. The grades of these two people were in the middle and bottom, so he didn't want to participate in Chunwei next year, and neither did Li Long. He didn't want to participate this year. He was just 20 years old, and now he has the status of Juren, so he just took advantage of this joy to go home and get married.

Li Tuhu and his wife planned to take their youngest son home as well, so that they could go directly to Beijing for the exam after the Spring Festival next year. The couple's calculations were clinking, but unfortunately they failed to do so. Lin Yichen found a very fair reason and left his sweetheart behind. And this reason was sent by Li Huaixi's mother! ——A few days after the Guibang came out, Li Huaixi's mother wove the woolen clothes. Since it was for the young son to keep out the cold, the butcher's wife put a lot of thought into it. This made the two "narrow-minded" see the business opportunity immediately, and used Liu Quan's business registration to build another wool spinning factory. Now it is in the preparation stage. As a partner and designer, Li Huaixi really can't leave.

63. Wool

Li Chengkui and his wife stepped out of the Yuchuan city gate, and Lin Yichen picked up Li Huaixi from the Tongfu Inn. Li Hu, who was in charge of taking care of his younger brother, turned a blind eye to this and took the opportunity to arrest the fat Liu Quan When I came to help in the goods store, I rested comfortably for several days.

Liu Quan muttered and complained that Li Hu was irresponsible, but Li Hu didn't refute after hearing that. He teased the fat cat that his younger brother entrusted him to take care of, and said with a smile, "Anyway, they can't do much."

In the Yamen of Yuchuan Mansion, Lin Yichen looked at the official documents in his hand depressedly, as if to prove the correctness of Li Hu's words. Woke up in the first half of the day, the developing Li Huaixi is like a half-ripe peach, it looks pink and tender, very attractive, but unfortunately, it cannot be eaten!Not only can it not be eaten, but it can't even be touched. This damned half-ripe 'peach' will blur its eyes and flush its face when it is teased for a moment.

Lin Yichen has always been concerned about his lover's small body, even with such a vixen in his arms, he can only pretend to be Liu Xiahui, so after two days of sleeping in the quilt, the governor suffocated a mouthful of bubbling, and the third Tian really didn't dare to act rashly anymore, and resolutely put his enthusiasm into his official duties, diligent and conscientious, looking for trouble when he had nothing to do, and had to stay up until Li Huaixi fell asleep every night before he dared to go to bed.

Even so, Lin Yichen was still sad, the spring was coming, Li Huaixi slept a little later than usual, and Li Jieyuan was as careful as dust, and he discovered Lin Yichen's abnormality within two days, this guy didn't understand Lin Yichen's painstaking efforts, He thought Lin Yichen had committed the so-called 'seven-year itch', so he made a big fuss with all kinds of tricks, which made the blister on Lin Yichen's mouth even more painful.

Lin Yichen and Li Huaixi couldn't explain their reasons, but just when he thought his life was going to end, the savior came - Mr. Yun Yin was worried about his beloved disciple, so he brought his old servant to Yuchuan in person.

Li Huaixi had to know the name of Yuan during the provincial examination, he was a young man, and when he wrote to his husband to announce the good news, he inevitably showed a little pride between the lines. I poured a basin of cold water, "It's just a bargain. If it's the year of the big competition, all the scholars in the world are ready, and the name of Jieyuan will never come to you!"

Li Huaixi knew that the husband deliberately provoked him because he saw him being tired for a few days, but it cannot be denied that there was some truth in it. It was the end of summer when the civil strife was settled down, and Enke opened in August. This style of writing hastily took the exam, and there are really many people who have not shown their true talents.

Mr. Yun Yin came here this time to suppress Li Huaixi's arrogance. After analyzing the external factors, he stared at Li Huaixi and asked Li Huaixi to silently write the examination papers for the local examination. Li Huaixi's face turned red when he said it bluntly, and the little complacency that had just emerged disappeared in a blink of an eye.

The school at home only had a three-day holiday, and the husband was about to go back after scolding Li Huaixi to tears.Before leaving, he was still worried, fearing that he would be young and impatient, and gave Li Huaixi a lot of homework. Lin Yichen, the "senior brother", was also entrusted with the important task of supervising the progress of the "junior brother", and he was not allowed to be lazy anymore!

Li Huaixi couldn't care less about losing his temper with Lin Yichen. He decided to retreat like a martial arts master. There are still four months before the Spring Festival, and the time for the Spring Festival and traveling will be deducted in the middle. There are only three years left for real study. A little more than one month, and he still needs to eat and sleep... Li Jieyuan, who has never taken the college entrance examination, feels that time flies and time flies. During Shichen's martial arts training time, he didn't leave the study room at all other times. Li Jieyuan truly achieved "keep your ears off what's going on outside the window, and read only the books of sages and sages".

After more than a month like this, Li Huaixi felt that he was "proficient in skill". Seeing that there was not much homework left by his husband, Li Huaixi was secretly happy, and when he was planning to take a breath and slow down the progress, Liu Quan, whom he had not seen for a long time, suddenly came to the door.

Liu Quan is losing weight. The young man in the blooming season is becoming more and more handsome, and the fat on his face has lost a lot. The big and strange eyes of his childhood are finally expected to be seen again. Even the bridge of his nose looks a lot higher. He is wearing A brocade robe with the swastika pattern often worn by the cashier's shopkeeper, and a hat that Li Huaixi had only seen on the head of the housekeeper of the Lin family, stood at the door awkwardly at this moment, as if he had done something unscrupulous Seeing Li Huaixi, he didn't dare to make jokes as usual, but just frowning there, which made Li Huaixi behind the desk really uncomfortable.

Li Huaixi hasn't seen her book boy for a few days. At first glance, she felt very kind, but the feeling disappeared at the second sight. Li Huaixi prefers brightly colored clothes, but her book boy always dresses up like an old man every day , The idol this guy worships is the butler of the Lin family. On the one hand, this kind of worship makes him mature and sophisticated in dealing with people, and on the other hand, it also makes his aesthetics more and more strange. It is so strange that Li Huaixi feels a headache when he looks at him. Now coupled with that frowning expression, it's not just a headache.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Li Huaixi called the maid who was standing outside the door to come in for tea, and asked leisurely while drinking.Although Liu Quan's complexion is not good, but in his mind, there will be no major incidents. The Li family's business has been backed by the governor. It has been smooth sailing these years, and the business is on the right track. Let Liu Quan cook. (Nowadays he has a lot of people serving him, so he doesn't need this guy who often steals and plays tricks) Although Liu Quan is young, he is more tactful than Li Hu in dealing with people, so Li Huaixi has always been in business. Don't worry, Li Huaixi is also curious when he suddenly sees Liu Quan like this, besides, there is such a mournful guy standing next to him, and he can't read his book anymore. Instead of waiting for Liu Quan to confess himself, why not It would be quicker if he asked himself.

Liu Quan took a peek at Li Huaixi's peaceful appearance, then looked at the teacup in Li Huaixi's hand, and moved two steps towards the door indistinctly before saying, "I've caused you some trouble."

"What's the trouble?" Li Huaixi raised his eyebrows, turning a blind eye to Liu Quan's small movements.

Liu Quan smiled and did not answer. He took out a stack of papers from his sleeve and handed it to Li Huaixi, then quickly backed away, and returned to his original position in a blink of an eye.

Li Huaixi took a glance at the things Liu Quan handed over, and felt a little strange. These are the orders from merchants that the woolen mill has received these days. It is a thick pile. This is a good thing. Does anyone think the business is too good? ...Li Huaixi raised his head and glanced at Liu Quan, whose expression became more and more pitiful, and followed his gaze to carefully look at the order in his hand. When he saw clearly the quantity and delivery date required above, the tea cup in his hand immediately moved Liu Quanfei flew over!

"Do you have a brain?! Don't you know how much stock there is in the warehouse? Don't you know how much those workers can weave every day?!" Li Huaixi looked at the thick pile of orders in his hand and shook his hands with anger.

"I, I, I know, but, those people are around there, I forget when I am happy..." Liu Quan nah, the teacup thrown by Li Huaixi hit his feet, which made him a little ashamed, his family He knows the young master's strength, if he really wants to hit him, it's useless for him to hide outside the door.

Liu Quan's so-called trouble is a "happy trouble". Due to the accurate market positioning and the vigorous publicity in the early stage, the wool spinning mill has had a lot of customers since its opening. This customer success is different from the customers in Tongfu Inn. Even if the customer Yingmen stays until full, the daily rent is only more than 1000 taels, which also includes the extra money for drinks and vegetables ordered by the guests. What is the concept of the customer Yingmen in the woolen mill?A merchant ordered 1 taels of silver for the first time, and even worse the second time, he directly placed an order of 5 taels!

Although Liu Quan is smart and capable, he is still young after all. Seeing a lot of bank notes flying in front of him, this kid was quickly dazzled by the victory, and signed orders one after another until a merchant After asking worriedly whether the delivery could be made on time, the kid suddenly woke up!

Li Huaixi wished he could tear down the fat man in front of him!The wool spinning factory of this time traveler does not have large industrial machinery like a steam engine, but only employs [-] workers to weave cloth by hand. Although they are all skilled workers, they will hand over the quantity required on the order in just a few months. It is a fantasy, and the most important thing is that the remaining raw materials in their warehouses are simply not enough to meet the consumption. Not only is there not enough food in the warehouse, even if all the sheep around Yuchuan are shaved into monks, it is not enough for Liu Quan to sign. number!

Li Huaixi checked the numbers on the order in his hand again, looked at the details of the breach of contract compensation agreed on it, took three deep breaths, and finally kicked fat Liu Quan out of the study, "Take your deed of sale , Roll as far as you can!"

Liu Quan will not take the deed of sale, he is a slave who cannot be driven away, and Li Huaixi can't do anything about him, so after thinking twice, he asked someone to find the governor in front of the back office.

"What's the matter? Why are you so angry?" As soon as Lin Yichen entered the back office, he saw Li Huaixi who was venting his anger with a sandbag. The sandbag weighing dozens of kilograms was kicked so hard that it couldn't fall down. A quail-like Liu Quan was huddled beside him Every time Li Huaixi kicked the sandbag, Liu Quan would tremble, and the master and servant cooperated very well.

Li Huaixi had seen Lin Yichen a long time ago, but he was so angry that he didn't want to stop. Hearing this, he gave a final kick, glared at Liu Quan, picked up the towel prepared by the maid next to him, and entered the room.

Liu Quan rushed to Lin Yichen as if he saw a savior, and made three bows in a row while muttering "save me, save me". Lin Yichen raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help feeling a little strange that he could make "Liu Butler" do a little fuss It must not be a trivial matter so far, except that this guy kowtowed to himself in court when he was a child, he has been following his master all these years, no matter how big or small, three bows?It must have caused trouble.

When Li Huaixi brought him the stack of orders, Lin Yichen was also angry. Now that the two people's money is put together, Li Huaixi's money is his money, even though Liu Quan is still doing "help" outside. However, Mr. Lin is really not the nature to save lives and heal the wounded. Liu Quan is destined to be entrusted to someone else.

"You just kicked it?!" Lin Yichen asked sinisterly.

Li Huaixi glanced at Liu Quan who was listening at the door, and said with a cold snort, "I won't lose money if I can't deliver the goods. Just hand him over when the time comes. Anyway, he is the boss on the bright side."

"Young master! You can't do this! The little one has hard work without credit, and without hard work..."

"Shut up!" Li Huaixi interrupted Liu Quan's crying, and tapped the mahogany case with his thin white fingers. He turned his mind twice, and finally looked at Lin Yichen and suddenly smiled, "My lord, Are you interested in making a name in history?"

Lin Yichen was a little puzzled, but Li Huaixi didn't say much, just spit out two words - 'Da Tan'.Such a succinct answer might not be understood by other people, but the governor is so smart, after thinking about it for a while, he laughed, "It's a good opportunity."

Liu Quan didn't know what kind of riddle these two people were playing, but judging by the appearance of the two bosses, he should be fine. Taking a peek at the two passionate and sweet people in the room, the temperature rose, and the butler Liu rubbed oil on the soles of his feet and thought He slipped away, but Li Huaixi stopped him before he could take three steps.

"Have you seen the work in the embroidery village? The raw materials in the warehouse are enough for the workers in the factory to use, and the rest are released. When the work is done, let the heads of the factory go with you. Those with poor craftsmanship cannot be released. , don’t smash your own signboard.”

"Understood, but my son, Curry's thread is only enough for less than half of those orders."

"I thought you didn't know!" Li Huaixi rolled his eyes and raised his hand to let Liu Quan go out. He has read sage books over the years and thinks he has opened up a lot. Now that he has found a solution to the matter, he will No matter how embarrassing my 'housekeeper', I comforted myself in my heart - even Liu Quan of Heshen didn't make mistakes, let alone a fat man bought at no cost in his family, it is already very good to find out the problem in time.

After sending Liu Quan away, Li Huaixi calmed down and explained his idea to Lin Yichen in detail. Speaking of which, his idea was nothing new. The so-called wool comes from sheep, and Yuchuan has no sheep. place to think.

The territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty was not small, and it could be called a vast territory. It is a pity that such a large country has no suitable places for grazing and raising sheep. The places with sheep are all in the territory of Datan.

In the past, the Datan tribe in the north, relying on their strong troops and strong folk customs, often crossed the border to burn, kill and loot in the territory of Dazhou. Of course, the defenders of Dazhou would inevitably retaliate. There is also constant friction.

With the overall situation in the military like this, non-governmental exchanges will inevitably decrease. Although there have been some caravan exchanges over the years, they have not been smooth. Now Li Huaixi's idea is to smooth the unsmooth business routes, which will benefit the country. The idea of ​​benefiting the people and self-interest can not only solve their shortage of raw materials, but also add another stroke to Lin Yichen's political achievements.

That night, the two gifted scholars sat at the table in a rare serious manner and made some plans. Finally, Lin Yichen wrote a memorial with careful attention to every word. The next day, it took six hundred miles to rush to the capital. .

After the memorial was sent away, Li Huaixi retreated again. As for what kind of turmoil Lin Yichen's memorial would cause in the court, he was not worried at all. The idea of ​​doing business with Datan must have been thought of by him alone, but this When making an idea, we must also pay attention to the right time, place and people, and only when the conditions on both sides are right can it work.Now Datan Khan is not only afraid of the powerful bows and crossbows of the Great Zhou, but also greedy for the rich clothes and food of the Great Zhou. Today, the Holy Majesty is also open-minded, and at the same time, the national treasury is empty and the internal strife is smooth. The trade memorial will definitely be passed if it is handed in. If you want to make a name in history, it is not enough to have skills, you have to have some luck.

Sure enough, half a month after the memorial was delivered to the capital, a mission led by the right minister of the current dynasty set off from the capital, and the destination was Datan.At the same time, the reward for Lin Yichen also came to Yuchuan. The Holy One thanked him for his dedication to the country, and generously rewarded him with a lot of things for the emperor.

Li Huaiximao talked with Lin Yichen about the cunning of the current emperor in bed.Lin Yichen is in his twenties to sit on the post of governor-general. The Lin family has been in business for generations, and the family has a lot of yellow and white things. The emperor's reward is very clever. , neither distressed nor cared, but the person who got it still thought it was a great favor and honor, just like Mrs. Lin, who just sent Lin Yichen back to the mansion with an imperial brush washer and the original one with a stamped jade seal Did the IOUs go to the Buddhist hall?

Ten days later, the envoys sent by the imperial court also arrived in Yuchuan. Lin Yichen led his officials out to greet them. Today's Holy Majesty attaches great importance to this young junior, so he doesn't put on airs at all, and is very pleasant to these local officials.

In the evening, Lin Yichen hosted a reception banquet for the mission in the government office. The prime minister probably felt that this junior was both eloquent and dignified.

Lin Yichen didn't feel at all how honored it was to be wooed. He practiced Tai Chi in the officialdom proficiently while sweating coldly. The most effective wooing in the officialdom is marriage. The right-hand man had already asked his birthday with a smile. Bazi, the meaning of which is self-evident.Lin Yichen is very fortunate that there are no chattering servants around him, otherwise, if even a little bit of the words at the banquet leaked into the ears of the person who retreated in the back office, he would not be able to live. The person behind these days said that he was not enthusiastic enough 'Being paranoid, what if there are other troubles at this juncture?I dare not even think about it!

Fortunately, the Right Prime Minister was on official business, and the delegation stayed in Yuchuan for a day before continuing on the road. Lin Yichen finished his official duties and went to the back office, and Li Huaixi was still in retreat. The vixen transformed in the daytime and became a hard-working scholar.

Lin Yichen sent several smart family members to set off with the mission. Not only the Lin family did this, but several big merchants in Yuchuan City also sent the same team.The businessman's sense of smell has always been keen, and the team of the mission has continued to expand since it set off from the capital. Like a snowball, they follow the mission at a distance, and the number of them is more than the mission sent by the imperial court.

Yu Chuan is not far from Datan, and after five days, his family members began to send news back. The negotiations between the Dazhou Mission and the Datan tribe went smoothly as expected, and Datan Khan’s visit to the Dazhou Mission On the contrary, they greeted each other backwards, with such enthusiasm and grandness that it was rare to see each other in decades.

Back then Datan Khan had indeed sent agents to Jia Zhengjing's camp. In a bloody battle outside Yuchuan City, only four of the ten agents returned, and one of them died within a few days due to serious injuries.The Datan people have been having trouble sleeping and eating for the past year. They are worried that Da Zhou will point the finger at him after he quells the civil strife. Right now Da Zhou is holding a sharp weapon. Although the Da Tan people are good at riding and shooting, they are no match for the mechanical crossbow. The crossbow arrow Datan Khan sent people to study it, but what can be researched with only one crossbow arrow, it can only be ignored in the end.

The force is no longer dominant, and the Datan people have always been accustomed to the policy of burning, killing, and looting. Naturally, they dare not use it. However, the Datan people still like the rice, white noodles, silk and satin of the Dazhou people, and they don’t have so many twists and turns. , can afford to let go, the negotiations only lasted for five days, and the trade treaty was successfully signed.

After the treaty was signed, the imperial court immediately posted a notice across the country, and Wumo, a small town next to Datan, was designated as a treaty port.

Most of the merchants are old, treacherous and cunning people. Before the notice of the imperial court’s commercial cooperation has been posted, the shops on the central street of Wumo Town have changed hands one after another. When the locals calm down, these foreigners have already occupied the local market. Most of the share, the local businessmen in Wumo refused to accept it, and made a few quarrels before the mission left, but those outsiders were impeccable in their work, and the house and land deeds were complete. In less than a month, the scope of the town expanded, and before the trade business between the two sides started, the plasterers and carpenters made a lot of money first.

There is a Liji South-North Goods Store at the southern end of Wumo Town. This is also an outsider. The shopkeeper with a dark red face looks only seventeen or eighteen years old. He smiles at everyone he sees. He is also simple and honest. The locals think he is young. Guessing is not the main thing, so no one usually makes things difficult for him.Moreover, this store is well prepared, and even the goods are brought over together. Everyone understands what this means, so no one dares to touch this store even if the locals and foreigners are in a fight. Xing made a fortune when they were in full swing, making money faster than the black fungus in the back kitchen.

As the new year approached, Li Hu brought back raw materials for the wool spinning factory, good wool and cashmere from ten carriages. In addition, Li Hu also brought back many other Datan specialties. The bulk cargo merchants in the cargo store were separated, and they didn't even enter the warehouse.

Li Huaixi finally came out of seclusion. Lin Yichen has been serving him with good tea and food. This retreater has gained a little weight after retreating for a few months. His mother Lin Qing came to give him new clothes for the New Year, and laughed Clothes are getting smaller.

Li Huaixi, who has re-entered the world, has been busy for two days. The business in the inn is taken care of by his third grandfather. The order can only be rested for three days before and after New Year's Eve, and there are still some things waiting for him to solve in person.

Li Huaixi knew that people attached great importance to the Spring Festival, so he ordered Liu Quan to give double wages to the workers in the factory during the Chinese New Year. He also bought extra New Year's goods such as fish, meat, rice, and grains. People at this time were simple and did not feel that Chinese New Year Working overtime is oppressed by capitalism, and I am very grateful for the kindness of my boss.

Before returning to his hometown, Li Huaixi held a banquet in Piaoxiang Building, and gathered all the managers of his own businesses together. This year he made a lot of money, and the food and drinks he ordered were all the best in Piaoxiang Building. A large table was packed.Although Li Huaixi is not yet 15 years old, he is not young in this dynasty. During the banquet, several stewards took turns toasting the owner. Grandpa wanted to stop him, but Li Huaixi got so drunk that he bit Lu Dongbin like a dog, and the two of them saw that he looked normal from the beginning to the end, so they ignored him.

64, love to the depths

Lin Yichen came to pick up Li Huaixi in person after being busy with business. In the afternoon, it suddenly snowed in Yuchuan. The snow fell heavily, and it didn't stop after nightfall. He was cold, so he specially brought out a cloak of Firefox fur.

When the carriage arrived at Piaoxiang Building, Li Huaixi had already paid the bill and was standing alone at the door to see off the stewards. The third grandpa was drunk, and Li Hu and Liu Quan helped each other to get into the carriage next to him.

As the Spring Festival approached, red lanterns were hung everywhere inside and outside Piaoxiang Building, and the faces of people who came out and in were all red. Lin Yichen didn't see any difference between Li Huaixi in the carriage.

Lin Yichen had a special status, and the people in charge didn't get out of the car for fear of seeing him uncomfortable, so they just let the servants around him go over and say hello to Li Huaixi quietly.After a while, Li Huaixi sent away the housekeepers and got into the carriage with a chill in his body. Li Hu also settled down with the third grandpa, followed him to stop the young man who was about to close the door, and said to the governor of the six mansions with a smile, "Senior brother, Huaixi drank, go back and ask someone to cook him some hangover soup."

"Drinking?" Lin Yichen frowned when he heard this, and when he lowered his head, he smelled a strong smell of alcohol on Li Huaixi's body. Looking at Li Huaixi's little flushed face, Lin Yichen became angry, "How old is he?! You are a big brother Just let him drink!"

Li Hu wrapped his newly made cashmere cloak and leaned against the door and stood under the carriage. He didn't care about the governor's accusations, and smiled dotingly at his younger brother inside, "If I say I won't let him drink, he won't drink." Is it? When did he grow up to hear me?"

"Then you should stop it," Lin Yichen said, while reaching out to embrace Li Huaixi who was rubbing his head in his arms, pressing two thumbs on both sides of Li Huaixi's temples, lowering his head and changing his tone, "Have a headache?"

Li Huaixi shook his head. Lin Yichen suspected that he could not speak, so he felt even more distressed. He raised his head and glared at Li Hu. Just as he was about to criticize him as a senior brother, Li Huaixi, who had been silent all this time, broke away from his hand and sat up. Glancing at him cautiously, Governor Lin wisely swallowed back the words that just came to his lips.

"It's snowing today, second brother, you should go back earlier, put more charcoal fire in the house, and we'll be home in two days, don't catch a cold here. Tomorrow, someone will pull another cart of sand and prepare it in the warehouse Behind the warehouse, put those flammable goods in good order, and let the two left-behind guys be more vigilant. The Chinese New Year will be in a few days, and sparks will fly around when the firecrackers are set off. If the water leaks, it will be troublesome. According to the agreement, they will be given an additional one or two taels of wages, and it is quite embarrassing for them to live in the store during the Chinese New Year.”

"Understood, I'll arrange it when I get back, you don't have to worry." Li Hu reached out to help Lin Yichen cover Li Huaixi with a Firefox fur cloak, then pushed Li Huaixi's feet in, and said to Lin Yichen with a smile, "Look at him like this. If I’m not drunk, then I’m leaving, and I still have to give him the hangover soup, or else I’ll be uncomfortable tomorrow morning.”

"Whispering!" Li Huaixi stretched out the foot that Li Hu had just arranged for him, and kicked his second brother away. The young man next to him came over and closed the car door. Li Huaixi felt bored, and stretched out his hand to open the car window again.

Li Hu didn't go far, stood beside the car with a smile and continued to talk to him, "Close the window, I'm going to throw up in the wind."

"Whispering!" Li Huaixi yelled, and slammed the window shut. Li Hu's laughter came from outside the carriage, and then the laughter died down. Li Huaixi opened the window and took a look. Li Hu also got into the carriage and walked away.

The road was slippery in the snow, and the carriage was walking unhurriedly. Lin Yichen reached out and took Li Huaixi into his arms again, looked down at his blushing face and asked, "Are you uncomfortable?"

Li Huaixi shook his head, put Lin Yichen's fingers on his temples, and closed his eyes to enjoy the massage from the governor, "It's just a little dizzy. The stewards said that the 30-year-old wine in Piaoxianglou was boring, and then they mixed some spirits into it. Otherwise, Third Grandpa wouldn't be drunk."

"Giving those old bastards 30-year-old wine is a waste of money. You should have burned them with a knife from the very beginning!" Lin Yichen said, smiling and bowing his head to kiss Li Huaixi's smooth forehead.

"Hehe, that's true." Although Li Huaixi was dizzy from drinking, he was in good spirits. He responded with a smile, adjusted his posture, wrapped himself in a big cloak and stopped talking. I don't feel anything, but I feel a little uncomfortable after the carriage moves.

After the two returned to the mansion, Lin Yichen arranged for someone to prepare hangover soup for Li Huaixi, and the servant brought the prepared hot water for Li Huaixi to bathe in. furnace.
