Because of Yi Shishi's previous disturbance, anyone who is a little bit ambitious now wants to occupy the entire Yi family.Everyone put their minds to it, trying to make the emperor look good.

"The best thing in our Yucheng Yi family is silk, why don't you let me pay tribute to the emperor?" Yi Chengli, a branch of Yucheng, was not happy to be pointed out, and argued with the man in front of him.

That man is none other than Ah Si who talked to Jing Zhaoqi at Xishangfang that day.Ah Si was drinking tea, when he heard this, he raised his head and glanced at Yi Chengli.Yi Chengli, who was obviously bigger, had his legs and feet weak, and his momentum immediately lowered, but he was still not convinced.If he is older, he is still older, but in terms of seniority, he is a bit shorter, and he has one more ancestor for no reason.

So what about the elders, if you don't still rely on him now, why should you look like an ancestor and ask him to serve you.

But Yi Chengli didn't dare to say these words directly, he was a little afraid.

"Stupid thing. Don't have such shallow eyelids, you only see things in Yucheng. If you talk about silk, the silk in Yuhuai City is famous all over the world, but the ones in Guangyu City are not eye-catching." Ah Si smiled. Don't laugh, "On this point, you guys can't compare to Yi San. You just stare at your one-acre three-point land, trying to find ways to pick things up. If you become the head of the family, don't talk about this, the whole The Yi family is all yours."

"Yes. What the fourth uncle said is that the little nephew is stupid." Yi Chengli bowed his head and admitted his mistake.He was very afraid of this fourth uncle since he was a child. He thought he was already a dead person.

The former master of my family had several sons, and now except for Yi San, the others are either dead or missing.I thought that my fourth uncle was also dead, but unexpectedly he found me.If he didn't remember Fourth Uncle, Yi Chengli wouldn't believe what he said at all.

Under the guidance of the fourth uncle, the business at hand has improved several times, and even the old goods that cannot be sold have been sold out.Only then did Yi Chengli slowly begin to trust him.Just what his purpose is.

He couldn't help asking once, and Ah Si just asked him one sentence with a blank face: "How do you think I died?"

How did you die?Yi Chengli's face turned pale with fright at that moment, but Ah Si smiled and stopped talking.The timid Yi Chengli tried for a long time, and only after confirming that he was alive did he dare to approach him.

"If you really want the Yi family, remember not to have shallow eyelids. What is the Yi family in Yucheng? The wealth of the owner's family is beyond your imagination."

"The fourth uncle..."

Ah Si interrupted him again: "What kind of person do you think the emperor is?"

Yi Chengli was a little timid and dared not speak, talking about the death penalty of beheading the emperor.He is timid and dare not.

"The emperor can be regarded as ambitious, and his plans are not small. Otherwise, why do you think Zhang Ping lost his official title last month and his home was ransacked?"

Yi Chengli looked at him with wide eyes: "Didn't he try to plot a rebellion?"

"Treason?" Ah Si sneered twice, "It's true that he is corrupt, perverts the law and treacherous officials, and he really doesn't have the guts to conspire against him."

"Then why..." Yi Chengli glanced left and right, making sure that he was the only one who continued, "Could it be a fake to find out the relics of the former emperor from home?"

"Whether it's true or not depends on whether he has done it or not, but whether the emperor wants to make this matter a reality. Zhang Ping blocked the emperor's way, and he deserves to die. But you know, using silk, silk, satin, treasures and beautiful jade to please someone It is easy for an emperor who is greedy for pleasure and does not care about the government, but it is difficult to please a monarch who is hardworking."

Hearing this, Yi Chengli was as enlightened as if he was enlightened.

"Fourth Uncle has some clever tricks. Please Fourth Uncle give some advice to my little nephew. My little nephew is here to treat you!" Yi Chengli made a bow, with a flattering expression on his face.

Ah Si waved his hand and asked Yi Chengli to look at a basket of things in the room.It turned out that in the corner of the house, there was a bamboo basket covered with a layer of cloth.The things inside were piled up very high, and when he lifted the cloth, he could vaguely see oval objects inside. Yi Chengli opened it full of curiosity and anticipation, and when he lifted the cloth, he froze.

What are these small khaki balls.

"Fourth Uncle...this is..." Yi Chengli picked up one, it was heavy, it seemed to be some kind of fruit, the surface was still stained with dirt.Yi Chengli immediately threw away the oval fruit, wiped his hands, and looked at Ah Si with some embarrassment.

A Si said: "It's something I haven't seen. It's a good thing. It's a good thing that a friend of mine who lives by the sea in the south got it from Fanbang people. It's a food with a very high yield. What kind of potato is it called? Compared with those delicate but not Useful things, our emperor would prefer these ugly but useful things."

When Yi Chengli heard this, he immediately cheered up, and picked up those potatoes that he disliked and covered with dirt, and now the precious ones were like treasures made of pure gold.

"But there is one thing, don't be complacent. The people in the country didn't explain clearly how to grow this thing. You should figure it out yourself, otherwise you will show your timidity when the time comes, and you will suffer on your own."

"Okay, I understand. Thank you fourth uncle."

Ah Si looked at him disdainfully: "Don't disclose my affairs to anyone. Otherwise...hehe."

Yi Chengli's heart trembled, he nodded quickly and only said that he would never reveal a word if he knew it, and when he looked back, Ah Si had disappeared.

When he touched his forehead, it was already drenched with sweat.Although he said that he was helping him, Yi Chengli still frightened him, just like seeing Mr. Yi.Yi Chengli clicked his tongue, this family is full of ancestors who are not easy to mess with.

Moreover, he was far from as confident as Ah Si, a well-clothed and well-fed emperor would appreciate such things.

Yi Chengli glanced down at the dusty and muddy basket of potatoes in disbelief.Why don't you let someone prepare some other two-pronged approach, their Yucheng's silk is inferior to others, and in previous years' selection, the host family never let their Yucheng branch show their faces in front of the emperor, maybe it was deliberately suppressed.It is said that only the best is selected, but who knows?

Let’s talk about the last time, Yi San unexpectedly chose the tea leaves from Yunwu Mountain to offer.Laughing dead, a small place as poor as Yunwu Mountain, what good things can there be?West Lake Longjing Dongting Biluochun Anxi Tieguanyin, etc., which one is not famous, the emperor will never drink good tea, I am afraid that the tea used to make tea eggs is several times better than the collections provided by other people's homes!

Just one thing, that ordinary unknown tea was praised by the emperor, and finally turned into imperial tea.The dilapidated household turned over and became a decent business for the Yi family now, earning an unknown amount of money every year.

Yi Chengli gained confidence, maybe the emperor would also like it this time, let him Yucheng Yi's family also show their face, and earn a reputation as the royal brocade, which would make him very beautiful.

And the emperor that Yi Chengli was talking about was drinking tea from the little place he disdained, and sitting across from him was Yi Zhiyu.

"San'er, the tea you bought is really my favourite. Every time you understand my thoughts best, I wonder if there is any surprise for me this time?"

"It's good that the emperor likes it, as for the surprise..." Yi Zhiyu's tone was not respectful, but the emperor didn't care.It was just that he interrupted him halfway through the conversation.

The emperor waved his hand: "Wait, since it's a surprise, don't say it, leave me a surprise. I believe in you, and you will definitely satisfy me."

"Yes."

"I heard that your Yi family is in a mess now. Since you returned to the capital, why don't you go back to take care of it? What are you busy with?"

"Responding to the emperor's words, it's nothing else, just enjoying family happiness with my family." Yi Zhiyu answered casually, but there was a rare warmth on his face.

It was the first time that the emperor, who had known Yi Zhiyu for a long time, saw such obvious warmth on Yi Zhiyu's face, and said, "San'er has... I have never seen it before. You have kept it secret enough, I I still want to find a suitable woman for you."

"I beg your majesty to forgive me. Xiaomin didn't deliberately hide it from His Majesty, but he just didn't have a good time to speak."

The emperor gave Yi Zhiyu a blaming look: "Look at you. You can't take any jokes. You are so boring. Such a boring person makes me really curious, who can take you down."

"If it is suitable, I will definitely bring him to meet the emperor."

"That's great. I've known you for so many years, but don't I know what kind of temperament you are? I don't see you changing your face after so many beauties throw themselves into your arms. Sometimes I wonder if you have to be single forever. I don't know Not only do you have someone you like, but your temperament has also changed a bit. I have never seen such a smile on your face before. Oh, now I am really curious about what kind of person that is." The emperor knocked on the table , raised his eyebrows, and said to Yi Zhiyu, "Tell me, what kind of person is that?"

Yi Zhiyu thought for a blink, and then replied very seriously: "A very good person."

The emperor couldn't maintain the serious expression on his face, and burst out laughing loudly.

"Now I am more and more curious about what kind of person that is, and I can bear the description of San'er. It is agreed, next time you must let me see..."

After Yi Zhiyu returned home, he told Jing Zhaoqiu what the emperor had said.Jing Zhaoqiu, who was eating the melon, almost vomited the melon.

"Excellent, excellent...how can you be so shameless?" Excellent, excellent, I feel ashamed to say this, but I still tell the supreme emperor in this world, my God, Jing Zhaoqiu's face should be thrown in the palace went.

The Emperor Ren probably thought that he was such a great and powerful person, but when he met him, he would know that he was just an ordinary person, and he couldn't bear Yi Zhiyu's evaluation at all.He may be disappointed, but he will probably doubt Xia Yi Zhiyu's taste first, and then doubt whether Yi Zhiyu is blind, otherwise he would never be able to say the words "excellent, excellent, excellent".

Most importantly, Jing Zhaoqiu is really not that thick-skinned!It's okay to be shameless in front of your own family, but you should be humble in front of outsiders, especially if that's the emperor.

"I'm right, you're fine." Yi Zhiyu looked confident that he was right, what he said was the truth.

Jing Zhaoqiu blushed, and deeply doubted that even if he became a stingy man, Yi Zhiyu could wear the filter and say the best things in the world without his will.The seven words Xi Shi in the eyes of beholders are really suitable for Yi Zhiyu.

Jing Zhaoqiu reflected on whether it was too unfeeling for him to dislike Yi Zhiyu and become a middle-aged, greasy, skinny-legged man. Maybe he should try to accept it.But looking up at Yi Zhiyu's handsome face, Jing Zhaoqiu shook his head, no, no, no, he can't face such a handsome face and one day he will become a big man with his feet, maybe even bald...

Jing Zhaoqiu pursed his lips, and said after a while: "I have a question."

"Are your parents bald?"

Yi Zhiyu: "..."

Yi Zhiyu was struck by lightning, the deceased Master Yi seemed a little bald.
