Transactions

Guangling City is huge.

What Li Chenan did outside the government office was like throwing a stone into Huaping Lake.

Although circles of ripples were stirred up, they had not been transmitted to the entire Huaping Lake, but they still had a huge impact in some places.

For example, the Shen residence.

For example, the Huo Mansion.

For example, Zhongli Mansion.

Also like Guangling Prefecture.

His escape from the government office obviously attracted the attention of some people. Only then did those people know that the idiot who was driven out of the house in Li's house had indeed become a little different.

There must be a powerful force standing behind him.

But who it is, except for Liu Zhuo, the magistrate, is not clear, and they all think it is really Zhongli's mansion.

Zhongli Qiuyang was silent about this, wondering if his sister really took it seriously?

At sunset.

The Shen family in Guangling.

Shen Qianshan's face was gloomy as if he could wring out water.

His son has already invited a doctor to apply the ointment, and now his face is wrapped like a rice dumpling.

"Father, father, you must be so angry for the child!"

Shen Qianshan took a deep breath, and looked at his daughter Shen Qiaodie.

"On the third day of March, the song "Butterfly Loves Flowers" that appeared in Huaping Lake was really written by Li Chenan?"

"Back to father, the daughter is definitely the one who did it, because the daughter was on Miss San's boat that day, and it was Miss San who said it herself."

Huo Chuanming, the judge of Guangling who was sitting by the side, frowned and asked, "Is there another possibility?"

"A few days ago, I received a letter from my second brother from the capital, which mentioned one thing. Cheng Guogong wanted Zhongli Ruoshui to be the daughter-in-law of his Cheng family... The second brother said that Cheng Guogong went to Dingguohou Mansion, but when he came out, he was a bit embarrassed, presumably because he was reprimanded by Mrs. Fan Taohua."

"The only one in Ningguo who dares not to take the five dukes seriously is this old Mrs. Fan."

"Second brother said that Mrs. Fan loved her granddaughter Zhongli Ruoshui very much, so she let out her words that Zhongli Ruoshui's choice of a son-in-law is entirely up to her."

"So Cheng Guogong brought his grandson Chen Zhe to Guangling City."

"Then what is the best way for Zhongli Ruoshui to refuse this marriage? It's not appropriate to refuse in person. After all, it hurt Cheng Guogong's face, so she adopted the method of selecting a son-in-law based on literature."

"But the literary meeting didn't decide the winner, even Su Muxin and Young Master Qi couldn't get what they wanted, so I think Zhongli Ruoshui hasn't found the husband-in-law she likes so far."

"It just so happens that Mr. Hua Manting came to Guangling City at this time, so could it be that Mr. Hua wrote the song "Butterfly Love Flower" and chose Li Chenan, a fool, to take the blame?"

Shen Qianshan and Shen Qiaodie were taken aback immediately, then they heard Huo Chuanming say again:

"I have also sent someone to investigate Li Chenan's details. It is absolutely impossible for him to come up with that poem. Just now, my niece said that the poem won the approval of Hua Boss... I'm afraid it's a performance at the same time. play!"

"After all, Hua Manting and Zhong Lipo have a very close relationship in the capital. He personally took action, and his purpose was to tactfully reject everyone's marriage proposals for Zhongli's residence."

"Of course, I guess in private that I have reached a deal with Li Chenan... Maybe I gave Li Chenan money, otherwise where did he get the money to reopen that shop?"

"More importantly, I am afraid that Zhongli's mansion also agreed to provide protection for Li Chenan, so today Li Chenan dared to beat up Mr. Ling at the gate of the mansion."

"In addition, the one who said that Li Xiaohua was released was the magistrate who didn't care about such trivial matters!"

"Master Liu is Huamanting's proud student!"

Shen Qianshan suddenly realized.

Shen Qiaodie thought about these words carefully and nodded, "Uncle's analysis is reasonable, and my niece finally figured it out. It should be so!"

Shen Qianshan took a deep breath, "So... the dog's meal was for nothing?"

Huo Chuanming smiled slightly and shook his head: "There's no reason to suffer in vain!"

"Li Chen'an is just a common man after all. The Zhongli Mansion is using him at this moment. It is impossible to protect him for the rest of his life!"

"I've heard that Cheng Guogong arrived in Guangling City at around noon today. If he fails to propose a marriage, of course he will return to the capital."

"As soon as Cheng Guogong leaves and Zhongli Mansion successfully rejects the marriage, Li Chen'an will be useless, and Zhongli Mansion will not look at him again."

"At that time..."

Huo Chuanming's eyes narrowed slowly, and a cold light appeared in his vision.

"At that time, he can be sent to prison by any small means, and Li Chen'an will pay back a hundredfold for all the grievances the young master has suffered!"

Shen Qianshan cupped his hands and saluted: "Thank you, Brother Huo!"

"You're welcome. Sooner or later, the Huo Chen family will be one family."

"When Shufan returns from the capital, the Huo Mansion will propose marriage to your Shen family."

"It's just that you have to take to heart what I told you before. The autumn grain in the south of the Yangtze River... No matter how much you pay, what the second brother means is that it is worth it!"

"The villain has always kept it in mind, and has already opened up the situation in various counties and counties in the south of the Yangtze River. It's just...it's just that Cai, who has been farming in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, is a bit tricky."

Huo Chuanming showed a smile, and he stood up, "Don't worry, Cai Zhengyao has his own arrangements."

Shen Qianshan was overjoyed, and quickly stood up, bowing in a big gift: "Cai Zhengyao's share, plus another 30% for the Shen family."

"Well, Patriarch Shen has a heart."

"Thank you, Brother Huo! Would you like to invite Brother Huo to stay for a drink or two?"

"Let's change another day, Huo Mansion also has distinguished guests today."

...

...

Li Chenan was busy in the backyard of the tavern all afternoon.

Li Xiaohua and Cui Sanniang had already moved over from the small grain shop in the West Market. His small grain shop didn't have a lot of grain in stock, but it filled a hut in the west wing.

For this, Li Chen'an paid another eight taels of silver.

Of course, Li Xiaohua and Cui Sanniang resolutely refused, but Li Chen'an finally gave away the eight taels of silver.

Li Qiaoxi came here in the afternoon.

Li Chenan took Li Xiaohua to start the pre-production process of wine making. It was not until sunset that dozens of catties of grains were steamed. After stirring them evenly with koji, Li Xiaohua asked Li Xiaohua to pile up all the grains in the wine tank and covered them with quilts. .

The next step is to wait 10 to 20 days for fermentation.

The dinner was made by Li Qiaoxi.

Only then did Li Chenan know how much Li Xiaohua said about his appetite!

"Didn't I tell you to take three catties of rice?"

Li Xiaohua ate three pots of dry rice, but the pot was empty.

Li Qiaoxi was very wronged, "I dropped three catties of rice, but he ate two catties!"

Li Xiaohua was very embarrassed. He lowered his head and smiled innocently: "Well, young master, miss, I, I did eat a little more, and I will just eat a little less in the future."

"How much less is it enough to be full?"

"Ah... three more bowls will probably be enough."

"... Cook six catties of rice tomorrow!"

"Brother," Li Qiaoxi felt his heart was bleeding, and Li Chenan waved his hand, "People are like iron and rice is steel. If you don't eat enough, you will get hungry. Listen to me!"

"Also...wake up early tomorrow morning and run with me. By the way, do you know where the Sishen Temple Alley is?"
