The rise of the prince

Chapter 21 The Beginning

"It means planting flowers intentionally but not blooming, but planting willows and willows unintentionally to make shade."

"Planting flowers intentionally will not bloom, but unintentionally planting willows and willows will make shade." De Gong chewed for a while: "It's a good sentence, there are all kinds of life, but this is the case."

"It's not that good, I really plant flowers, so I just sent it out of my feelings."

"You dude can also grow flowers?" the old man said amusedly, apparently not believing it.

Li Ye took another drink. The old man was very funny: "Haha, can't dude grow flowers? You old man is really unreasonable. I planted my flowers but they didn't go to your house."

"That's right, old man Meng Lang, but you are not polite when you drink this old man's wine." The girl quietly warmed the wine for them, and the old man raised the glass: "Look at what you have done these days. Do you want to renovate this restaurant?"

Li Ye nodded. Generally speaking, he would not disclose some things casually, especially key information, but this time it was different. The more people who knew the better, and the old man was only joking, and he did not appear to be lying.

"Yes, to tell you the truth, I have no money recently, so I am in a hurry to make some money."

"Has Prince Xiao's mansion fallen to such a point?" De Gong sighed, and then said: "The king of Xiao used to be kind to this old man, but now that the mansion of Xiao Wang has fallen so badly, I can't just ignore it. You can think of restructuring. This restaurant is also a good thing, at least it is a real thing, it is better than idlers. The old man also knows some people, and I can recommend more diners to you in the future, and I have the right to repay you."

After hearing these words, Li Ye had a higher opinion of this old man named Degong, not because of his gratitude, but because of his way of handling things.

He said to help but didn't ask himself what he needed to help, and he agreed on what he could help, that is, he knew how to repay his kindness and left room for himself, and held the initiative in his hands.Moreover, it was stated that it was only a repayment of kindness and did not add any psychological burden to Li Ye. This is very sophisticated in handling and controlling, and this kind of person is generally in a high position.

With a myriad of thoughts and thoughts on the surface, Li Ye smiled and said, "Then I will thank Mr. De."

The old man was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and stroked his white beard: "You boy, I thought you would refuse, even if you are modest, it's okay, you don't have the slightest gentlemanly style."

Li Ye spread his hands: "If the style of a gentleman can be eaten as a meal, I will humbly give you this restaurant. The style of a gentleman is what those of you who have no worries about food and clothing say. I am not that elegant."

The girl who warmed the wine seemed to have an opinion, and hesitated to speak, but in the end she didn't say anything. Compared to Degong, she was obviously afraid of Li Xingzhou.

"You kid." De Gong shook his head: "You can tell me this, don't spread it everywhere, it's just some cynical words, don't think it's a big deal, be careful to bring trouble."

"I know, just kidding, but Mr. De doesn't need to introduce guests to me. I want to ask you something else."

De Gong took a drink, "Oh, what are you talking about, I'll see if I can help."

"It's actually simple." Li Ye said as he handed over the wine glass, the girl hesitated for a moment, and poured him the wine, "Looking at the clothes and speech of Mr. De, he must be a family of officials and riches. The family has a big business, and there must be a nursing home in the family." .”

The old man nodded: "Could it be that you want some manpower?"

"No, most of the guards are warriors, and it's not easy to come and go in the wind and rain. I think it's a reward for Degong to let them eat and drink at the Wangjiang Tower in the west of the city every now and then." Li Ye sipped wine while tasting. road.

As soon as these words came out, Degong and the girl were stunned.

"Could it be that the old man misheard you?" De Gong looked surprised.

"You heard me right. This request is not too much. I just ask Mr. De to let the nurses go to Wangjiang Tower for a good meal every now and then." Li Ye repeated.

The girl finally couldn't help but said, "Well, what's the point?"

Li Ye smiled and handed over the wine glass in his hand, but the girl didn't pour him the wine, so she could only say: "There are many truths in this world, but some of them are not clear, so I learned a lot from a pit, and when the time comes, I will learn more." Explain to you."

The girl frowned beautifully: "You will learn a lot of wisdom?"

Li Ye's brain hurt, and he realized that this is a word from the Ming Dynasty, so it is better not to use words indiscriminately when chatting in the future: "It means to understand a truth after one experience, can you pour me wine now?"

The girl blushed slightly, poured wine for him quickly, and whispered in her mouth: "You really are a dandy with such indiscriminate use of words."

De Gong thought for a while, and then said: "Well, although I don't know what you mean, but you should also be clear, although King Xiao is kind to this old man, but this old man will only help you this time, there is no chance. Lost, you can think about it."

Li Ye nodded without hesitation: "Thank you Degong, but that's all."

"Okay then, if you insist on doing this, I will help you once. I hope you have a sense of proportion in your heart, and it's not just a joke." He drank the wine in his glass.

Li Ye also drank a drink. He had his own reasons for doing so, and these were far from enough.

He thought about it from the very beginning, guests are limited resources, if you want to grab these resources, you must first set a good goal, Yongyue Pavilion is impossible, because it was opened by the old man next door to the palace, a third-rank official of the imperial court, and a scholar of the Hanlin University , Sentenced to Tokyo Imperial College.

How many officials have been in the Imperial College can be known with their toes, and as the "principal" of this school, Chen Yu has such a high prestige, one can imagine that if you want to shake Yongyue Pavilion, you are going against Chen Yu. If you go against him, you don't know. How many people to offend.

So I locked my eyes on Wangjianglou, how to make all the guests of Wangjianglou come to listen to Yulou?This is a large-scale psychological operation. Li Ye already has a general direction in mind. It will be difficult to implement it concretely, but it should be feasible.
Afterwards, Li Ye chatted for a long time with the old man who claimed to be a virtuous man. This man has a lot of knowledge and has been to many places, both north and south. Li Ye happened to have a lot of questions that he wanted to ask. After all, he was not familiar with this world, so he asked Dongwen West, the old man is also happy to talk about what he has seen and heard.

The two had a very happy chat. He could see that there was a gap in the old man's chest. His words and demeanor revealed everyone's demeanor everywhere. Lost majesty.Among them, the grasp of proportion is not within the reach of ordinary people, nor can it be practiced overnight.

If it weren't for Li Ye's experience in his previous life, it is estimated that ordinary people would feel ashamed and admire him after talking with the old man for an hour or two.

In the subsequent chat, he also knew that the girl was not his concubine, but his granddaughter, whose nickname was Gillian. He was the one who was evil before, thinking that an old cow would eat tender grass.

Compared with his grandfather, the girl has a lot of opinions on Li Xingzhou.

Li Ye is such a fine person, he can deduce something just by his words and deeds.At first he thought that the girl was afraid of him, but later he realized that it was not fear, but dislike. The specific manifestations of fear and dislike were both intentional avoidance, but there was a subtle difference between the two, and Li Ye could clearly distinguish them.
