After Princess Xuanxue came down from the mountain, the whole capital was in chaos.

"You go first, I'll tell Mr. Hou about this." Li Gui thought about it, but she still felt that it was inappropriate for her brother to intervene in this matter.

First of all, my brother has taken too many advantages and has a huge appetite, so he might say something inappropriate.

Secondly, Jiang Zhengqing doesn't like the Li family either, and might be even more angry when he sees Li Qingkui.

The Li family has been accustomed to taking advantage over the years and being the hands-off shopkeeper. Whenever something goes wrong, Li Guiconcubine is asked to find a solution. In the past, Li Gui’s concubine had found ways to settle matters.

There must be a way this time.

"Okay, then hurry up. We have lost so much money, which is incredible. How can we survive without money?"

He took two steps and came back, smiling shamelessly: "Actually, you don't have to ask the Marquis. As long as you make up for the amount we lost, I will pretend that nothing has been lost."

Li Gui’s concubine’s face was livid with anger, her mother’s family was a bottomless pit, how shameless!

"roll!"

Li Qingkui chuckled: "I'll get out right now."

Jiang Junjing's brother and sister were also heartbroken when they saw their uncle's face.

Especially Jiang Junyu: "Auntie, we have spoiled my grandfather's family."

Li Gui's concubine frowned and walked in: "It's already like this, what else can I do?"

Luzhu told Yuan Qi what he saw.

Yuan Qi hummed and asked Wen Zhuyun, "Do you think Li Gui's concubine will help plug the holes in her family's house this time?"

Wen Zhuyun also opened his eyes: "Probably."

While the two were discussing, Shen Xun in the corridor reminded them: "Concubine Li Gui is here."

Concubine Li Gui asked Yuan Qi for help.

It was Jiang Junyu's idea.

Jiang Junyu knew that Yuan Qi was good at pinching and counting, and wanted Yuan Qi to help him figure out who the person who stole the things was and where he could find it.

Jiang Junjing also felt that Yuan Qi could figure it out.

But neither of them nor Jiang Jiulu had the shame to come to beg Yuan Qi. After all, Yuan Qi was humiliated that day in Li Mansion. They really don't want to come.

Finally, Concubine Li came licking her face.

Wen Zhuyun said, "We have a lot of flowers blooming. I'll go take a look and you guys can chat." She made an excuse and walked away so that Li Gui's concubine wouldn't be embarrassed to speak.

Concubine Li Gui smiled and said, "What are you doing, Seventh Girl?"

Yuan Qi put down the carving knife and jade tablet in his hand and got straight to the point: "I know why you are here. The Li family's things are in the southwest of Kyoto and are in the hands of bandits. I'm afraid it will be difficult to get them back."

Li Gui's concubine opened her eyes wide and suddenly smiled happily: "I told you that you can pinch and count, and have extraordinary abilities. Look, you know what I want to ask before I say anything. Qi Yatou, if you can find When you come back, I have to thank you very much."

Yuan Qi chuckled perfunctorily: "You're welcome."

The Li family has a lot of money, but they don't have enough manpower to take care of it. Once they are targeted by bandits, something might happen. You don't need to thank me.

Li Gui's concubine didn't know there was a trick in Yuan Qi's words, so she said thank you and left.

Wen Zhuyun came in, holding a budding rose in his hand and handed it to Lu Zhu to find a vase to put it in.

Then he said: "Why didn't you remind her that the bandits have a big appetite? Maybe those bandits will go to the Li family again tonight." Yuan Qi said: "Jiang Junyu will remind her, but the Li family will listen or not." Not necessarily. It’s bad luck and no one can stop it.”

Sequoia came in happily: "Miss, Madam said she was going to hold a tea party and prepared a lot of tea. All the teapots and cups in the warehouse were taken out and cleaned."

Luzhu also interjected: "I heard about it too, and said that I wanted to show off to the young masters and young ladies in the mansion. The guests invited were all prestigious young masters and young ladies in Kyoto. I heard that Xiao Jiuye and the young master of the Bai family were also invited. Sixth Young Master Bai Fujun."

When Lu Zhu said this, his face was filled with a nymphomaniacal smile.

Yuan Qi asked jokingly: "Who is this Bai Fujun? Why do you want to marry him?"

Luzhu pursed her lips in embarrassment: "Miss, you are joking about me again. The young master of the Bai family is not what I can think of. I am just talking. He was appointed as the next head of the family at the age of ten. He is talented and handsome. Unparalleled in the world. Many women in Kyoto are attracted to him. He is already sixteen years old this year. I heard that he secretly used his elder brother's name to participate in Chunwei and got the first place in the second-level exam. It can be said that he is a genius boy. The slave can see from a distance. He is satisfied at a glance."

Yuan Qi exclaimed: "So that's it, are you going to marry him?"

Luzhu's eyes widened: "What are you talking about, young lady? I'm not that lucky. I can just take a look and be satisfied."

Yuan Qi stopped teasing her and said with a chuckle: "On the day of the tea party, if you stay with me and serve, I promise to let you see him up close."

Green Bamboo was very happy.

Yuan Qi remembered the last time he went to Bai's house, why didn't he see a very stunning-looking young man? Could it be that I missed it, or did he just not come out?

Well, no matter what happens this time, I must see the most beautiful appearance in the world.

But in terms of appearance, who can compare to Tu Shanli?

Early the next morning, Yuan Qi was called to see Xiangli Mingzhu.

When she went to Xiangyue Yuan, several girls and young masters from the Bai family came, and Li Huilin also sat next to Jiang Jiulu.

Li Huilin secretly looked at Jiang Juncai. Jiang Juncai was different from Jiang Junjing and Jiang Junyu. Because he practiced martial arts all year round and was on duty in the palace, he had a tough face and a serious expression.

She also asked Jiang Jiulu in a low voice: "Is that the crown prince?"

She sighed in her heart. He was worthy of being the heir apparent of one of the four major families. He was indeed very powerful, but he was more imposing and masculine than the concubine.

Jiang Jiulu didn't know that Li Huilin was a nymphomaniac, so she told her: "Yes, he is my eldest brother, the commander of the Imperial Army, and the God of War General who has been personally proclaimed by the emperor."

Li Huilin became even more infatuated.

Yuan Qi pretended not to see it, greeted everyone according to the rules and took his seat.

She saw something was wrong with Jiang Juncai, but she couldn't see anything wrong, she just felt that his breath was wrong.

Not long after, Li Gui's concubine also came.

Then Xiangli Mingzhu walked out of the inner hall.

"Everyone is here, so I said it." Xiangli Mingzhu swept the crowd gently and asked Hexiang to take the tea leaves and tea sets out and place them in front of everyone.

Jiang Mansion also held tea parties in the past. The tea sets were all ready-made. Each tea set was very exquisite, including porcelain, jade, colored glaze, and exquisite purple sand pots. The tea cups were even more exquisite and unique.

There are dozens of sets in total, and these alone are enough for everyone to see.

Each set was worth a lot of money. Yuan Qi lamented that the Jiang family had strong financial resources, and it was no wonder that the Li family was desperately trying to suck blood.

"This year's tea party, our tea leaves are the same as in previous years. They are new teas that year. Let everyone come here today to let everyone recognize the tea leaves and taste the tea soup. Don't let others ask what kind of tea this is. People in our family will make trouble. It’s a joke.”

When she said this, she looked at Yuan Qi. The Jiang Mansion held tea parties every year, sometimes two or three times. The ladies and young masters in the mansion knew all kinds of tea well, and Yuan Qi was the only one who didn't know about it.
