Chapter 41 The Grandfather of the Li Family

In the afternoon of the next day, thinking that his father would be here soon, Li Wenliang went all the way to Guoxiang to meet his father Li Shikuan.

Li Wenliang got into the car, and before he could sit still, Li Shikuan immediately asked, "What happened to Xiucai's family?"

"This matter needs to be discussed in detail by father." Li Wenliang moved, approached Li Shikuan, and lowered his voice.

"Xiucai's family partnered with the Zhang family who opened a warehouse next door. They rented a workshop outside the city. They have already started pickling preserved eggs and salted eggs. They said they are planning to open a shop to sell preserved eggs."

Li Shikuan raised his eyebrows in surprise. He thought of countless possibilities along the way, but he didn't expect this.

"I asked Jinzhu, and Jinzhu said that she was in partnership with Mrs. Yin, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhang family. She said that Mrs. Yin's natal family is in Gaoyou, and she sells preserved eggs and salted eggs. She is a famous old Yin family. Preserved eggs and salted eggs are excellent.

"The capital and profit of the partnership between Mr. Xiucai and Sister-in-law Yin are all open on June [-]th..."

Li Wenliang described in detail the details of the partnership between the Li Jinzhu sisters and sister-in-law Yin.

Li Shikuan listened intently, and asked with a frown, "Using eggs to make [-]% of the cost, how many eggs do you get? Where did all these eggs come from?"

"I think the matter of the scholar's family that the old man of the Hong family is talking about is probably the matter of where the eggs come from." Li Wenliang lowered his voice and stretched his head forward, "I didn't dare to ask my neighbors, so I went to I asked about the mounting shop diagonally opposite the entrance of Cailian Alley.

"The clerk at that shop said that it was rare when the eggs were delivered for the first time. They all went to watch the fun, and said that a Taiping cart was full of eggs, and that it was delivered by a young master in brocade clothes. past."

Li Shikuan was even more surprised.

"The man said that the day before yesterday, he saw the young master in brocade clothes again. It turned out that the young master was not a young master, but someone else's servant. He said that there was a very tall and very good-looking man who met the newly moved scholar at the entrance of the alley. The two sisters in the public house talked.

"It's Yinzhu and Anan, Jinzhu and Yuzhu are in the workshop all day long."

"Tell me about that man!" Li Shikuan said in a hurry.

"It is said that they brought about twenty servants, all of whom were dressed in brocade clothes, and each of them had a horse. They said that the horses were all tall and handsome, and that when the man talked to Yinzhu and A'nan, those The man led the horse and stood by the side of the street, very quiet, and the horse was also quiet, not making a sound.

"Furthermore, that man is good-looking and has a great bearing. He is very good-looking when he smiles, and he is very majestic when he is not smiling.

"I've checked Jinzhu's words. It sounds like Jinzhu doesn't know about Yinzhu and Ah Nan's conversation with this man. That's all."

Li Shikuan breathed out slowly, leaned back on the carriage board, carefully sorted it out, looked at his son and said: "Yesterday you suddenly handed over the Hong family's request to marry Yinzhu, I thought, it was from the Xiucai family." This matter can only be a good thing, and this good thing was seen by the old man of the Hong family.

"After all, Mr. Hong must have been to Pingjiang City the day before yesterday. Mr. Hong must have seen Yin Zhu and Anan talking to that man." Li Shikuan was silent for a moment, his eyes narrowed slightly, "Looks like, who is this man?" , Mrs. Hong had already guessed that this man must be looking for A Nan, so he asked Yin Zhu to marry him.

"Go to Hong's house first." Li Shikuan raised his voice.

"That child, Ah Nan, looks very energetic." Li Wenliang paused, leaned forward, and whispered to Li Shikuan, "Tell me, what Li Wencai reported could be..."

"Hmm..." Li Shikuan froze suddenly when he was halfway through, his eyes widened a little bit, he was stunned for a moment, and then he let out a sharp breath.

"Father!" Li Wenliang was startled.

"On the day the county magistrate tried the case, there was a man who was tall and wore a black gauze cap. It was the same. Both the man and the horse were very unusual." Li Shikuan's extremely low voice was full of excitement.

"This is……"

"Shut up! Why are you so useless!" Li Shikuan glared at his eldest son.

"Father!" Li Wenliang's voice trembled slightly, "This, this, could it be a disaster, this..."

"Don't be afraid." Li Shikuan said don't be afraid, but his face turned pale slightly, he pursed his lips tightly, and after a moment, he snorted and said, "It's okay! Mr. Hong is more knowledgeable and smarter than us Too many, he is not shrinking back, but stretching forward! Don't be afraid!"

Don't be afraid of this one, Li Shikuan's confidence has already come up.

"It's enough for the two of us to know about this matter. You don't need to talk about it with your daughter-in-law. It's better for her not to know than to know."

Li Shikuan lifted the curtain, saw that he had already entered Pingjiang City, and motioned to his elder son, "Show me the way, I will go to Hong's house alone, you go and pick out some gifts, and wait for me in Cailian Lane, we have to go to Zhang's house to pay a visit." call."

"Okay." Li Wenliang agreed, told the driver how to get to the Hong family, jumped out of the car, and hurried to buy gifts.

When Li Jinzhu and Li Yuzhu returned to Cailian Lane exhausted, Li Shikuan and Li Wenliang were sitting in the main room, chatting and laughing with Li Xuedong, Li Yinzhu was squatting in the light of the kitchen door washing Li Xuedong's gown, Li Xiaonan was squatting beside him, asking Cheek watched Li Yinzhu wash clothes.

Hearing the movement, Li Yinzhu jumped up and rushed forward, "Big Sister, Big Sister! The Hall Weng is here! The Hall Uncle said to wait for you to come back and order some noodles!"

Li Xiaonan followed behind, and before she could speak, Li Wenliang had already greeted her from the main room, "Jin Zhu is back, go in and have a rest, I'll let them bring the noodles over."

Li Jinzhu and Li Yuzhu entered the main room to greet Li Shikuan, washed their faces in the courtyard, and went into the house to change their working clothes. When they came out again, Li Wenliang followed two fellows, and they had already returned.

The two guys put out some cold dishes, and then another guy came over, bringing hot dishes, hot soup and dumplings.

"Jin Zhu and Yu Zhu have been tired all day, let's eat first." Li Shikuan sat on the head and greeted with a smile.

Li Xiaonan sat at the bottom, facing Li Shikuan, grasping the chopsticks, looking at the hot and cold dishes on the table.

This is the first time for her to eat restaurant food here, and it looks very good!
Li Shikuan set aside a few dumplings, filled a spoonful of shiitake mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and ham soup, and ate it slowly, looking at Li Xiaonan opposite him calmly.

Li Xiaonan looked at it once, and her chopsticks reached for Biluo Shrimp.

Li Shikuan looked at Li Yinzhu, who was picking up a large piece of braised meat with a chopstick, and couldn't help but smile.

Yinzhu is a real kid.
