Travel to ancient times and make a fortune

Fortunately, years ago, after Ouyang Yiyun came back from Jiangnan Mansion, he found several good embroiderers for Li Xiao. Starting from early December, the six embroiderers worked overnight. At any rate, on New Year's Eve, according to the usual schedule According to the size, six more down jackets were made in a hurry.

No matter how much there is, there are no more for now.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, the down jacket workshop officially started operations, and orders for down jackets began to flow in from Jinxiu Pavilion.

However, considering that the temperature will gradually pick up after the first month, Li Xiao still asked Jinxiu Pavilion to control the number of reservations, and only took twelve sets of reservations for down jackets.

Here, the down jacket business is going very smoothly, but on the other side, the small vegetable store has a short-term shortage.

After all, vegetable greenhouses have limited area and limited output.Especially when there are no other sources of goods on the market, small vegetable shops are bound to be in short supply.

Especially in late December, even though Li Dashan was burning firewood in the greenhouse to heat up, the growth rate of vegetables was still much slower than in the greenhouse at home, which also led to a short-term supply shortage of vegetables.

But no matter what happens outside, the vegetables in the Li family's home are supplied at the same time from the greenhouse and have never been interrupted.

On the sixth day of February, Li Xiao, who was rarely free at home, was angered by the news that Ouyang Yiyun suddenly brought: Mr. Fan had asked the emperor for marriage again!

"Kao, has this little old man lost his mind? What is he thinking? Is he trying to 'buy and sell by force' or 'force girls into prostitution'?" Li Xiao asked three times, obviously so angry that he couldn't speak at all.

Ouyang Yiyun was funny, but he handed her tea and said comfortingly: "Okay, don't be angry, Uncle Huang didn't respond."

"I know that the emperor is wise and powerful, so he will not be 'bewitched' by that little old man!" Although someone comforted him, Li Xiao was still a little angry.

"You girl, you are so 'bewitching' and talking nonsense." Although the words were reproachful, they did not mean to blame.

"Since Uncle Huang asked someone to pass the message to me, he will not accept the request from Prime Minister Fan. On the other hand, if there is someone you like, it is best to make a decision as soon as possible."

"If it really doesn't work, I'll go ask the Imperial Grandmother and ask her to issue an edict."

There is no need to think about the imperial decree of marriage. First, Li Xiao has already received the imperial decree of marriage. If there is another imperial decree, it will be too much grace, which is not good.

Second, Prime Minister Fan asked for marriage twice, but the emperor did not agree. If he turned around and granted marriage to a seventh-rank official, it would be a shame for the veteran minister.

Even if King Xiaoyao came forward, the emperor would not agree to this matter.

It would be better to go to the Queen Mother's side, and it would be best to use the woman's side as an excuse to make an imperial edict.

Ouyang Yiyun thought about some things that Li Xiao could think of, so he was even more worried about his eldest brother.

However, no matter how worried the two of them are, the key lies with Li Qingsong.

Not long after the seal was opened on the tenth day of the first lunar month, He Yiming, You Zichang and Li Qingsong all had new places to go.

He Yiming went to the Ministry of Personnel and was promoted to a doctor in the Ministry of Personnel, rising from the fifth rank.

You Zichang went to the Ministry of Punishment, and Li Qingsong went to the Ministry of Husbandry. Both of them were promoted to wailang, a member of the two departments, from the sixth rank.

When Li Xiao and Li Qingsong were discussing Li Qingsong's marriage, Li Qingsong happened to be called aside by his boss, Master Langzhong Jia, the chief official of the Department of Household Affairs, to talk.

Said to be speaking, in fact it can be seen as Fan Xiang's mouthpiece.

They just tried to persuade Li Qingsong to accept Miss Fan Qi and happily become the Chenglong son-in-law of Prime Minister Fan's Mansion.Li Qingsong did not refute Mr. Jia, all because he was his boss and his etiquette allowed him to do so.But no matter what Mr. Jia said, Li Qingsong didn't reply even half a word.

After talking for a long time without getting any response, Mr. Jia felt depressed and was about to get angry when Mr. Yu, another deputy chief of the Hubu Department, wandered over.

"Hey, where is Qingsong? I've been looking for you for a while. I need you to do something. Come here quickly."

After saying that, as if he had just seen Mr. Jia, he said sheepishly: "Oh, Mr. Jia is here too. Have you finished talking about it? If it is finished, can you give it to me first? If it is not finished, I am here Wait here, there’s no rush.”

As he said this, the old god stood aside, looking patiently waiting.

As we all know, Mr. Jia is a disciple of Fan Xiang, and Mr. Yu is a disciple of the late emperor.Fan Xiang and the emperor's master had different political views, and his disciples naturally disliked each other.

Naturally, Mr. Jia would not continue the original topic in front of his opponent. He just said a few indifferent remarks and left with a look of concern.

"I have met you, sir." Li Qingsong greeted him calmly.

Master Yu looked at Li Qingsong without revealing any trace, nodded with satisfaction and said: "Come with me!"

Master Yu said that there was something that Li Qingsong needed to do, and that was certainly not a lie.

Mr. Yu pointed to the file on the table beside him and said: "In the next month, you will be responsible for organizing the nearly five years of taxation, contributions, exemptions, and rehabilitation into a book. Are there any questions?"

Mr. Yu just said that "the relevant information has been compiled into a volume". He did not explain how to organize it and what information was needed.

Even so, Li Qingsong still agreed unequivocally.

Master Yu left with a smile on his face, shaking his head.

Li Xiao naturally had no way of knowing what happened in the household department, but one person got the news immediately.

"Oh? It seems that this boy from the Li family really doesn't like the girl from the Fan family." There was a smile in his tone, but he still couldn't hide the majesty of the person who had been in the upper position for a long time.

After waving his hand, the person who had just reported the news stepped back. The emperor smiled and asked Xiao Shengzi beside him: "How much do you think it is true or false?"

"Your Majesty, this servant is stupid, but I think Mr. Li's refusal is not a lie." Xiao Shengzi replied softly with a smile.

When the emperor heard this, his eyes signaled him to continue.

Xiao Shengzi could only continue: "Master Fan is now considered the head of the hundred officials, and Miss Fan Qi is said to be very popular in the house. If Master Xiao Li is willing to agree to this marriage, his career will be smooth." No, on the contrary, this official career will have some twists and turns."

"This servant understands this truth. There is no reason that Mr. Li, who was born as a Tanhualang, does not understand. However, he refused several times, so I privately thought that this should not be a fraud." After Xiao Shengzi finished speaking, he bowed He bent his waist and stood quietly.

"Hmph, you old guy, you can see clearly." The emperor pointed at Xiao Shengzi and cursed with a smile.

The emperor naturally knew that Li Qingsong's refusal was not a lie, and he still had confidence in the ability of his subordinates to inquire about information.

No longer caring about these trivial matters, the emperor continued to review the memorial in his hand.

Not only Li Qingsong, but also Fan Xiang never thought that some of his private behaviors would actually reach the ears of the emperor. (End of chapter)
