The Strongest Imperial Grandson of the Great Tang Dynasty

"Why are you drinking so much?"

Realizing that his wife had also drained the wine in the cup, Duan Hai said with some dissatisfaction, because he was a bit incompetent, so he didn't let his wife drink very much. There were also some rumors coming from the outside, saying that after Princess Yongping married Duan Hai , it’s really such a loss.

So whether at home or outside, Duan Hai was a little suspicious of his wife. Now seeing the handsome Li Xiang in the distance, Duan Hai knew that he couldn't compare to him. Could it be that this wife had other ideas?

"The slave family..."

"Brother Duan, I heard that your family also runs a cloth business. I happen to have some silk and satin factories in Chang'an City. If there is any intention of cooperation, why not let the managers below communicate with each other. There is always profit between the two places. of."

Li Xiang had just been drinking with Duan Hai's cousin, so he knew that Duan Hai's family still had this business. In Datang, almost all of Li Xiang's businesses had opened stores. Although silk and satin clothing was not Li Xiang's strong point, But if you want to take care of Duan Hai, there is no problem at all.

Princess Yongping saw very clearly that Li Xiang did not mention it casually, but Li Xiang's eyes glanced over just now and saw the embarrassment on his face, so he specifically raised this matter, which was considered a help. She had saved herself from the siege, Princess Yongping remembered this in her heart.

If this was the case, Duan Hai was going to count his wife in public again, but after hearing Li Xiang's words, Duan Hai was immediately attracted to Li Xiang.

Duan Hai's life is pretty good, of course, only outsiders see it that way. If we talk about the situation at home, we can't say that we can't open the pot. It's like tearing down the east wall to make up for the west. It turns out that your family has that kind of power, so the money comes from it. The transaction is definitely not small. As long as Duan Hai lets out a word, many people will immediately be willing to give money.

But now except for the position of Tingwei, Duan Hai's family can't get involved in other places, so there are fewer places to make money. The cost of silk and satin clothing is high, but the profit is also high. If it can be done with Li Xiang If we take over there, our annual income will be quite a lot.

"Thank you very much, Your Highness. I have a lot of people at home who are living at home, including wives and children. But I still can't add some income to the family. Instead, it gives me a headache every day. , His Highness can help me a lot, it really helps me a lot."

What Duan Hai said is the truth, but this truth is going to offend people. After hearing what he said, the cousins ​​below immediately showed dissatisfaction on their faces. Is it us who are wrong? Were you very talented when you were young? It's not because the elderly at home can bear it that you have everything you have now.

There is a problem with the transfer of family power. Don't you, Duan Hai, have any responsibility? If you had any brains, could our Duan family be reduced to this?

"What nonsense are you talking about? My brothers at home are all studying, and they are all great people. It's just that they lack some opportunities. They will all be able to manage their families in the future."

Princess Yongping realized that Duan Hai had said something wrong, and quickly helped Duan Hai to make amends. The people below looked a little better. Since Princess Yongping married in, the situation of the Duan family has improved slightly, but it is also Everyone did not give Duan Hai the credit for Princess Yongping's achievements.

"When men speak, women should not interrupt. There are just a few of them who can't even draw a bow. Our Duan family started with martial arts, and they don't know any shame."

Duan Hai said with great dissatisfaction, in his opinion, his younger brothers have no future, and that has nothing to do with him. It is purely because you people have not made progress. When you were young, you knew how to eat, drink and have fun every day. Now you have no skills as adults. How can you do that? What arrangements are there for you?

Li Xiang also figured it out. Duan Hai was a straight man. He believed that all officials in the imperial court relied on their own abilities. For example, his own position had gone through a series of tests, but in Nan In a country like Zhao, all tests depend on your background. If your father was not a general, how could you pass the test? There are many more capable people than you.

His younger brothers all understand this truth, but Duan Hai doesn't understand it. Maybe he understands and is unwilling to admit it, so whether it is in front of others or at home, whenever these younger brothers are mentioned, Duan Hai They all demoted their younger brothers to nothing.

"I dare to ask whether my brother could pull the bow when he was sixteen years old. I remember it very clearly. When my brother went to the Ministry of War for testing, I was lucky enough to go with him. Even then, I couldn't pull it. It took two months. He was able to pull it off and had one more chance than others. Was the person chosen at that time worse than his elder brother? But why didn't they have the position of his elder brother? The younger brother thought it was not that his elder brother was much better than others, but that his father was in the position of general at that time. , these more than ten years have passed, has my brother ever achieved the position of father?"

Duan Hai's eldest brother immediately couldn't sit still. Duan Hai really bullied others too much. These younger brothers have also been talented people in recent years, at least they are somewhat capable compared with other people in the big family. But because Duan Hai The overseas Chinese could not keep their cover, so their future was also blocked.

Normally when Shi Hai was talking, the younger brothers at home would not dare to argue with him, but today Li Xiang is here and everyone in the royal city knows that Li Xiang represents a broad road. If there is someone in front of Li Xiang In other words, if Li Xiang likes it, what kind of position will he not get in the future? This is a person from the Kingdom of Heaven.

"The second brother is right. Although we are not as capable as the second brother, our knowledge in the school is still at the front. Those who are not as good as us are now studying in various yamen. But we didn’t even have such an opportunity, but my brother always thought that we were incompetent, and our current academic achievements were something he didn’t have at this age."

One person started, and the rest immediately understood what was going on. They also wanted to show off in front of Li Xiang, not to mention that these people were indeed very knowledgeable.

But what they lack is an opportunity. Opportunities in a big family don't just come. When your clan leader is incapable, do you think this opportunity can fall on your head out of thin air? Why did Xiao Yu serve as a pawn for Li Xianglai? It's not just for those family members.
