I sell morning tea in ancient times

Qi Yi hasn't been to Tao's morning tea shop for a long time.

After the accident near the lake and mountains, for some reason, he always thought of Taodian's house from time to time.She is so obedient, she was trembling all over with fear, but she was afraid of affecting him, so she stayed motionless in his arms; she loves to laugh very much, every time she sees her, she always has a smile on her face, with eyes as if shining.

As soon as the corners of Qi Yi's mouth curled up, he suddenly came back to his senses, and the hand holding the pen was also a little tight.

He has always been like this recently, losing his mind unconsciously, and his efficiency in handling official documents has also declined.He didn't like this feeling of losing control, so he simply controlled himself not to go to Dow's morning tea shop.

This is somewhat difficult.Because he used to go to Tao's morning tea shop to buy barbecued pork buns every day, and he has developed a habit.Now he still sometimes habitually walks towards the Dow's morning tea shop, but halfway there, he reacts and turns back a little annoyed.

Qi Yi pursed his lips, restrained his mind, finished approving the official document in his hand, and opened another memorial, only took a second look, and the expression on his face became serious.The head of the Li family, Li Rui, is going back to Beijing.

Li Rui, whose name is Jingchen, was the uncle of Da Rong in the past, and the patriarch of the Li family who brought the Li family to the new emperor when the country was destroyed.

Seven days later, the Marquis of Shunchang.

Mother Tao got up early in the morning to arrange the Hou's mansion, and the maids and servants were ordered by her to be orderly.

"Take that pot of flowers away and replace it with a blue one. Jing Chen likes blue the most."

"Has the yard been tidied up? By the way, put those four glazed screens in the yard."

Mother Tao was so busy that she didn't even have time to drink tea.

Father Tao on the side couldn't help persuading: "Just take a rest, you've been preparing for a few days, and let the servants do the rest."

Mother Tao raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, snorted, and said, "This is not your younger brother, of course you are free."

Father Tao hurriedly laughed and said, "How could it be? I have always regarded Jing Chen as my younger brother. You can rest first, and let me do the rest."

Tao Zhiyun stood aside, watching this scene, she just found it very funny.Fearing that Father Tao would be angry, he hurriedly covered the smile on his lips and asked, "Mother, when will uncle come to the mansion?"

"Your uncle still has to enter the palace. He should not be able to arrive at the Hou Mansion until the afternoon." Mother Tao thought for a while and replied.

Royal Palace.

A man in a crimson official robe is waiting outside the imperial study.

He is about the age of about, tall and tall, with a gentle smile on his face like a crown jade, just looking at him makes people feel close.His eyes are very calm, the kind of calm after the storm, which makes people feel a sense of reliability.

The imperial guard at the side stood upright, but his eyes could not help but secretly glance at the lord.Why does this grown-up look so familiar?

The door of the imperial study room was suddenly opened, and the eunuch came out with a whisk in his hand, and said with a smile, "My lord Li, the emperor wants you to come in."

Li Jingchen nodded, and said with a smile, "I'm in trouble, father-in-law."

The eunuch said: "Master Li, please be polite."

The door of the imperial study room was closed, Master Li also disappeared in front of his eyes, but the eyes of the imperial guard suddenly lit up, he knew why this lord looked so familiar.

"Do you think that Mr. Li is like a prime minister in his thirties?" After finishing the value, he excitedly said to his colleagues.

The other imperial guards suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "It really looks very similar."

Inside the imperial study.

Li Rui saluted respectfully: "I see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

Yan Yujin sat on a chair and looked down at Li Rui, looked him up and down, and then said with a smile: "Li Aiqing, get flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Rui got up, stood aside, and waited for Yan Yujin's order.

Yan Yujin took an approved booklet and spread it out, glanced twice, and said with a smile: "Li Aiqing did a good job on this trip to Qingzhou, tell me, what should I reward you for?"

"I have nothing else to ask for, I just want to visit my sister, and ask the emperor for permission."

Yan Yujin raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Your sister and brother are deeply in love, so I will not stop you. I will allow you to come and go to Shunchanghou's mansion at will, okay?"

Li Rui's face showed joy, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Yan Yujin asked some more questions about his trip to Qingzhou, and Li Ruiju answered them fluently.While he was satisfied, he was also somewhat amused. This Li Rui deserved to have been immersed in the officialdom for more than ten years.

Seeing that all the questions he wanted to ask were finished, he didn't want to prevent the reunion of his siblings, so he waved his hand and let Li Rui back down.

When Li Rui left the palace gate, he saw his own green cloth carriage.

The coachman had been waiting at the gate of the palace for a long time, when he saw the Patriarch coming out, he hurriedly drove forward.

As soon as Li Rui raised his long legs, he got into the car firmly, "Go home first."

"Yes."

The carriage started running steadily, without any jolts in the car.This carriage looks ordinary, but there is a universe inside.The carriage is made by the best craftsmen in the world, and the wood used is the finest green frost wood, which is not only hard and firm, but also exudes a natural fragrance, which is elegant and refreshing.The cloth used for the seat cushion in the carriage is Xuanlan cloth, which is worth a thousand gold feet, stuffed with the thinnest and softest fluff of the Versicolor versicolor bird, sitting on it seems to be sitting in the clouds...

From these bits and pieces, we can get a glimpse of the great wealth of the family.

Inside the carriage, Li Rui was sitting upright, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

Although the Li family was the first big family to submit to the new emperor, it was obvious that the new emperor did not trust the Li family.This trip to Qingzhou is the new emperor's test of the Li family.

The Li family is also known as the Qingzhou Li family, which is enough to show how inseparable the Li family and Qingzhou are.

The Li family has taken root in Qingzhou for more than 100 years. In Qingzhou, the Li family can be said to be the same.This time the new emperor sent him to Qingzhou to get rid of corrupt officials and put the people sent by the new emperor in office. In fact, he wanted to use his hands to control Qingzhou.Although Li Rui was ambitious, he also knew how to judge the situation.The new emperor holds an army of one million and his waist is very strong. Naturally, he will not go head-to-head with the new emperor.

However, it is far from being able to control Qingzhou by relying on those appointed officials.And with this trip to Qingzhou, he happened to clean up some of the moths in the Li family, which made the decaying tree of the Li family rejuvenate.

The carriage stopped, Li Rui opened his eyes, got up and got off the carriage.After entering the mansion, he changed into regular clothes, loaded all the prepared gifts into the carriage, got on his horse again, and soon arrived at the Shunchanghou Mansion.

The gate of Shunchang Hou Mansion has long been opened.He slumped off his horse and walked quickly into the Hou's mansion.

Turning around a stone screen, he went straight into the courtyard.Mother Tao and the others were already waiting there when they heard the movement.

Seeing Li Rui, Mother Tao hurriedly went up to her, her eyes reddened, "Jing Chen, this trip to Qingzhou must have been very hard. Look at you, you are dark and thin."

"Sister, isn't it just going back to my hometown, what's so hard about it?" Li Rui said with a smile.

"That's enough, let's go in and talk if we have something to say, and we won't get too hot outside here," Tao Ang said.

"Yes, you must be tired after traveling all the way, go in and drink tea and rest."

The siblings have not seen each other for nearly three months, and they have a lot to say.

After dinner, Mother Tao asked Li Rui to stay for the night.Li Rui thought that he would not be on duty until the next day, so he agreed.

At night, Mother Tao was sleepy, so they went back to the yard.

Because Li Rui's yard was not far from Tao Zhiyun's, the two went back together.

On the way, Cuiyun and Meteor were some distance away, Li Rui suddenly said, "Yun'er, I have wronged you this time."

He didn't expect that the new emperor had conflicts with Yun'er before, and he still brooded about it to this day.If he had prepared earlier, Yun'er would not have been humiliated.

Tao Zhiyun naturally knew what Li Rui was talking about, she smiled and said, "Uncle, I don't feel wronged, I like making refreshments."

Li Rui's frowning brows stretched out, showing a smile, "Just as long as you like it. Speaking of which, I haven't eaten your tea yet. In a few days, I'll go to your shop to try it."

Hearing these words, Tao Zhiyun had an inexplicable feeling that the leader was coming to inspect.She responded, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said again: "Uncle, I want to open a branch, are you interested in joining? After investing the money, you can share the money proportionally at the end of the year." Uncle is the head of the Li family and is very rich.

"Okay, you actually got uncle's idea." He laughed loudly, "Then how much should I invest?"

"Naturally, the more the better." Tao Zhiyun smiled and rolled her eyes, looking like a little money fan.

"When the time comes, you can directly send someone to my house, and ask the housekeeper to pay the money."

"Wow, uncle's words are so domineering!" Tao Zhiyun immediately turned into a star-eyed person, flattering her uncle on the spot.

"You," Li Rui smiled and shook his head, his eyes full of doting and helplessness.

Before they knew it, the two walked to Tao Zhiyun's yard.

"Uncle, I'm going back." Tao Zhiyun smiled, Cuiyun and Meteor saluted Li Ruifu, and followed Tao Zhiyun back to the yard.

With a smile still on his face, Li Rui led the servant to the yard.

Yun'er seems to have changed a lot, becoming more cheerful and sensible.With the death of Da Rong, her status plummeted, and she was also disliked by the new emperor and forced to run a restaurant. It was really embarrassing for her.Not only Yun'er, but also her sister and brother-in-law have aged a lot.

Thinking of this, Li Rui's hands hidden in his sleeves couldn't help clenching into fists. He will definitely work hard to protect his sister and the Li family.

At this time, the Xie family in the north.

The study room in Xie Mansion was brightly lit.The Patriarch of the Xie family was dressed in a luxurious purple dress, and took out two jade pendants from the hidden compartment, and put them on the table.

"Yuan Jiu, when you go to the capital this time, you have to do two things. One, get close to the Tao family and finalize the marriage contract. In fact, this marriage has almost been discussed, and your mother has already exchanged tokens with the empress. The dragon and phoenix Chengxiang jade pendant was given to the Xie family by the empress. What you have to do is to get Tao to agree to go back to the northern border with you."

The Empress Empress here naturally refers to Darong Empress Tao Lishi.

"Second, get in touch with Qinhan. It's been seven years, and she should go back to Xie's house and do things for Xie's house. This hibiscus flower jade pendant is her personal possession. If you show it to her, she will naturally understand."

"Yes." Xie Yuanjiu was dressed in white, tall and tall, his eyes were slightly drooping, and there was no expression on his cold and dusty face, as if he would ride the wind away at any time.
