I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 267
The Ming Dynasty in this period has not yet ushered in the so-called Little Ice Age, but the weather has become very cold after late autumn.

But here, the people outside are all wearing fur cloaks, while the people inside are shirtless, forming a very sharp contrast.

Seeing Li Tian staring straight at her, the woman said with a displeased face,
"Young master, isn't it a little too rude for you to stare at the servant's family like this?"

Before Li Tian could react, Jiang Bao and the two who had just been scolded by a servant immediately reacted and shouted angrily,
"Bold, don't look at your identity, it's your honor to be spotted by my son..."

Just as Jiang Bao finished scolding, Chen Liu, the driver next to the woman, became unhappy.

The whip in Yiyang's hand was about to rush over to find the place for his master.

"Blind your dog's eyes, you dare to offend members of the Chai family."

Who knew that just after saying this, the woman's face changed slightly, and she sternly reprimanded Chen Liudao,

"Back off, it's none of your business here, so why not talk!"

Jiang Bao and the other two had never seen such an arrogant servant, and they were immediately annoyed, their old faces almost pulled together.

Just as he was about to capture these ignorant guys, Li Tian was slightly taken aback after hearing the word Chai's family, and finally remembered who the woman in front of him was.

He raised his hand to stop the two who were about to make a move.

The Chai family in Xingyang was considered a wealthy family in the Tang and Song dynasties, and there were many court ministers in the family.

Although it has declined somewhat in the past 200 years, it can still be regarded as one of the few big families in the Central Plains.

There are no outstanding figures in the last two generations of the Chai family, and the most outstanding one is only the old man of the Chai family who insisted on supporting Zhu Di during the Jingnan battle.

Although they contributed a lot of money and efforts, the Chai family only received a lot of awards because they had no military achievements, but they did not receive titles.

But the Chai family is also considered shrewd. Taking advantage of the rewards from the emperor, they did not hesitate to spend a lot of family wealth and make friends with various nobles. In a short period of twenty years, their family has become prosperous in the capital.

The reason why Li Tian has an impression of this woman is because some time ago, Mrs. Dingguo brought several noble ladies into the palace to visit the queen.

He had accidentally caught two eyes of this woman.

Although he was a little surprised at the time, but because he had just traveled through time, he was not very familiar with many things, and because she was a woman, he didn't take it seriously.

Later, when Huang Yan was asked to inquire about the aristocratic families in the capital, he also knew more or less about the situation of the Chai family.

It is said that since the old man of the Chai family passed away a few years ago, the sons of the Chai family have been more and more unsatisfactory.

The boss hangs around brothels and restaurants all the year round, and his health has long since failed. After the old man left, he followed him not long after.

The second child is quite serious, and is in charge of the Chai family's business in Nanjing.

But I heard that he seems to be involved in a case of official corruption and malfeasance, and he is still in prison.

At present, the head of the capital is Chai Jun, known as the third son of the Chai family.

I heard that this kid was weak and sickly since he was a child, and he was a sick child who couldn't lift his shoulders or hands. If it wasn't for the fact that the Chai family was quite rich, he might have died of illness a long time ago.

Just now the coachman Chen Liu called this woman the third lady.

It is estimated that she should be the real wife of the third son of the Chai family.

Li Tian didn't expect that the Chai family, which was so beautiful back then, would be reduced to the point where a woman would show her face, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"It's ironic that such a dignified family has been reduced to this point!"

The third lady probably saw that Li Tian and the others were extraordinary people, so she owed her money in front of the three of them, and said very politely,
"The servants are rude, please forgive me, the servants are here to apologize to the nobles."

Li Tiantian had a good impression of self-reliant women like the third wife, and he didn't take the little friction just now seriously.

Smiled slightly, and gave her a little support, so that she didn't have to be too polite.

"Third Madam, you are too polite, don't worry about trivial matters!"

Although Li Tian said so, Jiang Bao and the others still cared a little about the coachman, staring at this arrogant and stinky coachman with a pair of eagle eyes, as if they were talking.

"Wait, kid, dare to insult His Majesty today, you are the one to watch!"

Chen Liu was so frightened that he either avoided it or went straight to meet him.

His eyes dodged and his body swayed, looking very embarrassed.

The quarrel between the two sides just now seems to have attracted the attention of the people in the workshop.

At this time, a middle-aged man with a mustache who looked like an accountant came out with two people dressed as servants.

This person seemed to know the third lady, and immediately said to the third lady with a smile on his face,
"I still acted like a blind person came to Chen Ji to make trouble. I didn't expect that it was the third lady who came here. Please forgive me if I miss you."

The third lady smiled faintly, without any change in her expression, she bowed slightly and said,
"Shopkeeper Chen, you're being polite. I'm here today to discuss the workshop with my master. I don't know if my master is here at this time."

Shopkeeper Chen shook his head lightly and said,

"My master has already handed over the matter to my subordinates. If the third lady is still interested, please come in and discuss it in detail!"

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Li Tian and the others again, and asked in surprise,
"Haven't you asked the three of you yet?"

Li Tian didn't expect that the past few days would be so unlucky, and he happened to meet the workshop that was going to be exchanged. It is estimated that the idea of ​​going in and observing it is unlikely to come true.

But he has a lot of things to do every day, so how can he have so much free time to waste.

As soon as I turned my mind, I thought of a way.

Hand in hand to shopkeeper Chen and the third lady,
"My Li Tian is a businessman. I came here today to order a batch of ironware. Since my boss has something to do, I'll come back another day!"

After saying that, he turned to leave.

Just two steps away, the third lady hastily called him to a stop.

"Young master, please stay."

Hearing her voice, Li Tian had a smile on the corner of his mouth, secretly delighted in his heart, it seemed that his little trick had worked.

"I don't know what the third lady has to teach!"

The third lady was obviously preparing to speak, and her brows were slightly frowned, making her look even brighter and more attractive.

"Forgive me, my lord. Although this workshop will soon be transferred to the Chai family, the craftsmen and business affairs inside will not change much. In fact, it is the same whether you are negotiating with the shopkeeper Chen or the slave family. of."

Li Tian pretended to be surprised and said,

"Will this really not disturb the discussion between the two of you?"

The shopkeeper Chen seemed to take this workshop seriously, so he quickly interjected,

"Don't disturb, don't disturb, my master has already discussed with the third lady about the matter of the workshop, today I just came to check and accept, and I won't delay anything."
