Back to the ancient restaurant

Regarding Li Zian's headache, Li Hongshen thought for a whole night and finally decided to go to the county government to ask him to help find a suitable candidate.

After the morning class was over, Li Hongshen hurried to the county government office.

At this time, Zhang Lingzhi had just returned to the mansion, and seeing that Li Hongshen was still wearing the clothes distributed by Qingsong Academy, he knew that there must be something wrong with this person who came in a hurry.Knowing that Li Hongshen must have not eaten yet, Zhang Lingzhi hurriedly asked his wife to arrange food for this beloved little cousin.Thinking of the news he had just received two days ago, Zhang Lingzhi took him to the study.

Before Li Hongshen could speak, Zhang Lingzhi took out a letter from the bookshelf and handed it to Li Hongshen. "Letter from the capital, you should read it first."

Li Hongshen looked at Zhang Ling with suspicion, reached out to take it, and took out the letter to read it.After Li Hongshen read the letter at a glance, a big pimple formed between his brows.

Putting down the letter in his hand, Li Hongshen sighed deeply, and said in a deep voice: "It's really shameless, since my father loves that mother and daughter so much, knowing that his daughter might compromise with King Rui's uncooked rice. Mother and daughter are going crazy for glory and wealth, without any consideration of the consequences."

Withdrawing the letter from Li Hongshen's hand, Zhang Lingzhi finally folded it back into the envelope and turned around to put it back in its original place.

"To tell you the truth, I also received a piece of news. Jinshang has already started to make some moves. One of the favorite dances that King Rui danced in advance, he must have caught the wind, lest he will be liquidated by Jinshang, So I also started to move around. It just so happens that your stepmother and sister really took the bait."

Seeing Li Hongshen's gloomy face, Zhang Lingzhi went to sit opposite him, tapped the table with his slender fingers, saw Li Hongshen looked up at him, and then smiled and said, "Have you thought about the proposal I gave you earlier? Let me tell you the truth, King Rui...the possibility is not great. And this matter should be done sooner rather than later."

Zhang Lingzhi is talented and intelligent, with a deep city, and he is very good at trying to figure out people's hearts.Li Hongshen knew that he was far from him, but he would never hide anything from him, so Li Hongshen always treated Zhang Lingzhi honestly.Although Zhang Lingzhi is far away in Huangshi Town, but because Zhang's father is still there, he can be said to know the movements of the capital like the palm of his hand.Since he told himself that it was unlikely that King Rui would become a great treasure, it could be said that King Rui had basically been ruled out.

Even if King Rui won't be liquidated today, and if other princes come to power in the future, King Rui's party will only survive for a few years.Because his mother had been kind to the Zhong family, Zhang Lingzhi knew that his wife liked this little cousin the most, so how could he not help him.It's just that he is Li Bingcheng's own son, if something happens in the future, as long as he is the eldest son of the Li family, he will not be able to escape.If you want to survive, you have to cut your hair and become a monk and escape into Buddhism, or you can marry a wife...

It is rare for a person with Li Hongshen's status to marry as a wife, but it is not uncommon.And compared with life, the cloud-like thing of fame seems a bit insignificant.Besides, the one Li Hongshen wanted to marry was not someone else, but the one he had chosen.Generally speaking, Li Hongshen's move is not too outrageous.

If he hadn't met Li Zi'an, maybe Li Hongshen would have cut his hair and become a wandering monk.But God just let him meet Li Zi'an, the two hit it off, Li Hongshen was reluctant to break his heart.Thinking that he and Li Zian would be one in the future, Li Hongshen felt a sweetness in his heart, looked up at Zhang Lingzhi, got up and gave him a deep bow.

"I'll ask my brother-in-law to help me with this matter."

Seeing that Li Hongshen's ears were flushed, Zhang Lingzhi already knew his choice.He got up and walked to Li Hongshen's side, holding his wrist and helping him up.

"You are Ah Ran's most beloved younger brother, that is, my younger brother. Why do you need to be polite to him? But if you choose this path, you will have no hope of becoming an official. Don't regret it in the future."

Knowing that Zhang Lingzhi was doing it for his own good, Li Hongshen nodded and thanked him.

"Thank you brother-in-law for your concern, I will never regret it."

After the two of them finished talking, Zhong Yanran had prepared the food but there was no sign of the two of them. She asked Steward Zhang and found out that the two had gone to the study, so she led someone to look for it.Seeing that my husband was saying something to his cousin with a serious face, and seeing his cousin blushing, he thought he was preaching to his cousin, and his heart suddenly became anxious.Lifting the corner of her skirt, she stepped into the study, grabbing her husband's arm with both hands.

"You can't bully my cousin!"

"..."

Zhang Lingzhi and Li Hongshen looked at each other, and at the same time turned their heads tacitly.

Seeing his cousin still staring at Zhang Lingzhi angrily, Li Hongshen wanted to laugh, but felt embarrassed at the same time.Covering his mouth and coughing dryly, Li Hongshen explained: "Cousin, my brother-in-law and I just talked about some things, and he didn't bully me."

Zhong Yanran squinted at Zhang Lingyi, with a warning in her eyes.Zhang Lingzhi stroked Zhong Yanran's hair with his pampering eyes, and nodded to her as if promising.Seeing this, Zhong Yanran gave up.

"The meal is ready, you two go and eat."

……

After eating, Zhang Lingzhi asked Li Hongshen why he came, knowing that he wanted to find some reliable people for Li Zian, so he was silent for a while, then nodded and agreed.Li Hongshen was overjoyed when he saw this, and thanked Zhang Lingzhi before turning around and leaving the Zhang residence.

After Li Hongshen came out, he went straight to the restaurant, saw that Li Zi'an was busy, so he turned and went to the academy without telling him first.

As for Xia Shui's side, Li Zi'an thought over and over again and felt that after he stabilized, he wanted Li San'er's family to go there.Mother Li's family is in Huangshi Town, and Uncle Yang is not young anymore. It is definitely not acceptable to let the two of them leave the place they are familiar with.Sister-in-law Li is already very familiar with how the shop works. Li San'er may seem rough, but in reality there are subtleties in the roughness. It is most suitable for two people to sit in charge.

After lunch, the shop was cleaned up, and they all sat down to rest while preparing the ingredients for the evening.Seeing this, Li Zi'an called Li San'er and Sister-in-law Li to the backyard, and shared his thoughts with them.

After Li Zian finished speaking, Li San'er and his wife looked at each other and fell silent.

Seeing the expressions on the two people's eyes full of contradictions, knowing that the two of them will definitely not be able to make up their minds for a while, and it will take a while for Xiashui's shop to rest, Li Zi'an hurriedly said: "I just want to ask The opinions of the two of you, you two can think about it, and it’s okay to disagree.”

When they went to Xiashui, they would be the shopkeeper. Li Zi'an is a kind person, and if the shop runs well in the future, he will definitely not treat them badly.And Xia Shui's conditions are good, it's far better than being in Huangshi Town after getting a firm foothold there and sending Xiaobao to school.It's just that relatives and friends are all here, and Xia Shui is not familiar with the place where he was born. It may take a long time for them to get used to it.But such a good opportunity is always a pity to give up.

Li San'er glanced at his pensive wife and said to Li Zi'an, "Mr. Li, let us go back and think about it."

After seeing off the couple, Li Zi'an counted the days and knew that Li Hong would take a deep rest tomorrow, so he went to the street to buy some things and came back, planning to go back to Li's Village.

Just as Li Zian was about to go out here, the steward of Zhang's mansion brought two people to the shop.Seeing Li Zi'an walking out, Guanshi Zhang came forward with a smile.

"Li Xianggong is going to go out?"

Manager Zhang is extremely shrewd, and he is the county magistrate's right-hand man.Although I often go to Li's Mansion, but it is the first time to bring someone to the door.This had to make Li Zi'an secretly vigilant.

"Yes, there are some things missing in the shop, and I plan to go out and buy some. Manager Zhang, this is..."

Seeing Li Zi'an's vigilance in his polite manner, Manager Zhang hurriedly explained: "At noon, Mr. Biao went back to Zhang Mansion, and said that there was a shortage of manpower in the shop, and asked my adults to help find it. No, I found it here. , I rushed to bring it to Mr. Biao.” After speaking, Zhang Guanshi turned sideways, pointed to the two middle-aged men in long gowns behind him and said, “This is Zhang Yu, and this is Wang Zhong. They can read and write, so it may be helpful to Mr. Li."

After Li Zi'an thanked Zhang Guanshi, he turned his head to look at Zhang Yu with a goatee in a blue gown, and Wang Zhong in a green shirt, and nodded to them.He asked Guanshi Zhang, "I don't know where the two gentlemen will be placed temporarily? If you have any requirements, you can make them, as long as I can satisfy them as much as possible."

"You don't have to worry about the residence for the time being, you just pay the wages as usual. You can't let us adults help you, and you have to pay for it, hahaha."

Knowing that Guanshi Zhang was joking, how could Li Zian not hear it.After replying a few words with a smile, Li Hongshen came back with a book basket on his back.

Li Hongshen didn't expect Zhang Lingzhi to be so efficient, so he couldn't help being a little surprised.After looking at the two people sent by Guanshi Zhang, he was relieved to see that their eyes were clear and their manners were decent.

"Go back and thank your lord for me. I will visit him and my cousin again in a few days."

After sending Guanshi Zhang away, Li Zi'an simply asked the two of them a few words, knowing that both of them had studied for several years, simple bookkeeping and simple calculations were not a problem, so he was half relieved.Li Zian talked to Zhang Yu and Wang Zhong about the general situation in the shop. Seeing that it was getting late, he was afraid that the shops on the street would be closed, so he asked the two to get acquainted with the environment in the shop, and dragged Li Hongshen out in a hurry.

Li Hongshen followed Li Zian and watched him buy a few boxes of snacks, and then went to the nearby cloth shop.The family is not short of heart and clothes, seeing Li Zian buy these things really makes him a little confused.

Looking at the confused Li Hongshen, Li Zi'an smiled and said, "I plan to take you back to Lijia Village tomorrow. I haven't gone back for a long time. It's not good to go empty-handed."

Hearing this, Li Hongshen nodded.Walked a few steps forward to the counter, looked around for a while, pointed to the new silks and satins that had just been put on, and said to the shopkeeper expressionlessly: "Wrap up these few for me. "

"..."

Li Zi'an is silent, his daughter-in-law is a rich man, and he can't stand it.
