knock knock knock.

There was a knock on the door of Yuan Mansion.

The butler inside quickly came over to open the door, "It's so late, who is it?"

"It's us." It was Li Xibao and Li Chong standing at the door.

The housekeeper knew about the relationship between the Li family and his master, so he hurried inside to invite him, "My lord, my lord, it's the brothers and sisters of the Li family who are here."

"Why are you here again?" Yuan Huanqing felt dizzy at the moment, "The date of my marriage with Pingting has already been fixed, why are you here?"

"Of course there is something wrong. Does Master Yuan think that my mind is only concerned with things like love for children?"

Li Xibao and Li Chong entered the room together.

It was Li Chong who spoke out his thoughts.

"Flood..." Yuan Huanqing was very surprised after hearing this, "Probably not, the weather has been good for us in the past few years."

"But Feiniao's behavior is abnormal, there must be a reason." Li Chong said: "I hope that adults will take care of this matter, not afraid of ten thousand, just in case."

"Yes, Master Yuan, we are not talking nonsense. There are many examples throughout the ages." Li Xibao also said eagerly.

But she has no way to tell Yuan Huanqing that she has the ability to predict the future, so she can only brainwash Yuan Huan over and over again.

"Well, you told me, I'll go to the magistrate tomorrow to talk about it and see what he means. But to be honest, don't say that the weather here is good, even if there is a flood, it probably won't happen in our north .”

"But the south and the north are both on the same boat. If something happens to the south, what good will it do to the north? The south can control the lifeblood of our Daqi economy." Li Chong said: "It's better to be cautious about this matter."

"Since Li Chong also said that, I will definitely talk to the magistrate tomorrow." Yuan Huanqing affirmed.

"Thank you, Master Yuan."

"Thank me for what you are doing, you little girl has grown up, and you are more concerned about the country and the people than when you were a child."

"Everyone is responsible for the peril of the world." Li Xibao snorted, "My girl's family can no longer worry about the country and the people."

"Okay, I can't say no to you. However, Li Chong, I heard that the imperial court re-established the Imperial College this year, and each county will elect a candidate to study in the Imperial College. This is an excellent opportunity. If you pass the exam, you will be admitted to the Imperial College in the future. The future is much, much better than mine."

"Well, I'm also preparing."

"Li Xi, it's just time to accompany you to get busy with Brother Chong, don't think about what you have all day long."

"..." Li Xibao was speechless.

In any case, they have already found Yuan Huanqing, and no one knows whether the magistrate will take it seriously.

Li Xibao can only do his best to know his destiny.

Thinking of everything...

Li Xibao thought a lot while lying on the bed at night.

Maybe she can do other things.

The next morning after getting up for breakfast, Li Xibao said to Xiao Yulian, "Help me prepare the carriage, I want to go out."

"Where is Sister Xi going?" Xiao Yulian asked, "I happen to be going out too."

"Where are you going?" Li Xibao was surprised, when Xiao Yulian also liked to go out.

"The lady from the Zhang family in the embroidery workshop asked me out."

"Then prepare two carriages. We must be on the way. I'm going to the grain merchant Boss Lu's house."

Lu Wancai, a grain merchant in Gaohu, is a middle-aged man with a broad body and a short stature, with a big round face and a pair of squinted eyes.

Although the eyes are small, they can always shoot a little light every time he strokes his beard.

For example, now, Lu Wancai was sitting on a chair looking at Li Xibao in disbelief. He stroked his beard and said, "You are Li Xi, the daughter of the beauty clinic."

"Exactly."

"Hehe, Ms. Li is really young. She is already too beautiful. She is even more beautiful than the portraits on the packaging boxes of your skin care products."

"Thank you, Boss Li, for your compliment."

"However, Ms. Li, you are a medical practitioner, and I am a food seller. You have nothing to do with me, so I can't figure it out."

"Of course I'm here to buy food."

"why?"

"If you want to buy it, you can buy it. It depends on Boss Lu, whether you sell cloth or not."

"Hehe, okay, since that's the case, I won't ask any more questions. That's it, it depends on how much food you want. The more you want, the cheaper it will be for me."

Li Xibao stretched out three fingers.

"Thirty stone?"

"Do not."

"three hundred?"

"Three thousand stones."

After Li Xibao’s words fell, Boss Lu’s squinted eyes opened, “No, Miss Li, you have nothing to do to buy so much grain, three thousand shi is not a small amount. To tell you the truth, the grain I have accumulated is only five thousand Around the stone."

"Are you reluctant to sell it?"

"Hehehe, I guess, Ms. Li bought it for your restaurant, or you also want to sell this business. In this way, since Ms. Li bought so much at one time, let's buy it for two or three thousand stones. , a total of 6000 taels of silver, you see, that's right."

"I don't want to buy 6000 taels. It's not yet the autumn harvest, and it's not new grain. Is it worth the price?"

"Then Miss Li will tell you the number."

"4000 taels."

"Miss Li, this is too little, it's not enough to buy such food, okay..." Lu Wancai stroked his beard.

Li Xibao smiled, she was a little hot, she opened her sleeves, revealing two emerald jade bracelets.

These two bracelets are worth a thousand gold.

Lu Wancai's eyes lit up.

"Boss Lu is bullying me when I'm young. Just because I'm rich doesn't mean I'm a fool." Li Xibao snorted, "If you don't give me a reasonable price, I'll buy it elsewhere."

"..."

Seeing that Lu Wancai was silent, Li Xibao got up directly.

"Miss Li, let's talk again."

Li Xibao didn't turn his head back, he walked up to the coachman and said, "Let's go to the grain merchant Qiu's house."

In fact, Li Xibao didn't go to Qiu's house, but walked around the door of Qiu's house before returning to his own house.

That is a few hours of effort.

It was also when I was eating lunch at home, Aunt Ruoyun approached Li Xibao, "Miss, someone is looking for you outside."

"Who is it?" Li Fugui asked curiously.

"Say it's Master Lu."

"Master Lu moves very fast." Li Xibao put down the bowl and chopsticks, "Master Lu is my important guest, please invite Master Lu in quickly."

Lu Wancai walked in quickly, and laughter followed along the way.

"Miss Li, hey, Mr. Li and Mrs. Li are here."

"Isn't this Master Lu, why did Master Lu come to my house?" Li Dashan was very puzzled, but he also warmly entertained him.

"Why..." Lu Wancai was surprised, "Miss Li didn't discuss it with Master Li?"

"It's the same when you discuss while talking."

"Hehe, it's like this. Miss Li asked me to buy three thousand shi of grain in the morning, but I didn't agree at first. Well, after Miss Li left, I regretted it so much."

"Oh? Now you agree?"
