"Marquis …"
Yunshan Residence, Li Family. Pang Feiji whispered something into Li Zexuan's ear. Li Zexuan's face darkened and his eyes flashed with a cold light. He muttered, "Twelve? Ha! There are so many people who don't want to be left out! "
Pang Feiji cupped his fists and said, "Marquis, do you want me to capture all these servants and send them to the Imperial Governor's Office?"
Li Zexuan pondered for a moment and waved his hand. "No need! Give them one more chance. Let's see if they can rein it in! Today, I will return to Chang 'an with you! "
Pang Feiji did not understand, but he still cupped his fists and said, "Yes, sir!"
Not long after, the master and servant rode towards Chang 'an City. As for Han Yuxi, she returned to Chang' an on the first day of the bean sprout sale to "take charge of the situation".
"Young Master! You're back! "
The "little bootlicker" San Bao, who was guarding the entrance of the Li Residence, said excitedly when he saw Li Zexuan return on his horse.
"Yes! Have you been reading a lot lately? "
Li Zexuan threw Whitey's reins to San Bao and asked casually.
San Bao took the reins and scratched his head. "I've been studying! San Bao is still studying when he's in the toilet! "
Li Zexuan did not know whether to laugh or cry. He shook his head and went straight to the front hall.
"Little Xuan is back!"
Although Chang 'an was not far from Yunshan Residence, as long as they did not see each other every day, Madam Li was still worried about her son. When she saw Li Zexuan return, her face immediately revealed a look of warmth.
"Yes!"
Li Zexuan agreed and sat down to chat with his parents for a while. At this time, Ye Guozhong happened to pass by the door. After glancing at Li Zexuan in the room, he stopped in his tracks and said, "Yo! Little Xuan is back! "
Li Zexuan stood up and said, "Yes! How are Grandfather and Grandmother recently? "
After getting along with Ye Guozhong and Old Madam Ye for a long time, Li Zexuan found that they were not bad people. Old Madam Ye, needless to say, had always been very kind. Although Ye Guozhong was a bit extreme, Li Zexuan asked himself what had happened in the past. If he were in Ye Guozhong's position and knew that his daughter's sweetheart was destined to be a jinx, he would probably do something to break up the couple.
Now that this old man had stepped down from his position as the Patriarch of the Ye Family, his personality had also become more open-minded. After all, he had once managed a large family clan. His vision and experience were still very sophisticated. Many times, he could give Li Zexuan a lot of pertinent suggestions, which benefited Li Zexuan a lot!
"Yes! Everything was good! Little Xuan, come out. Grandfather has something to say to you! "
Ye Guochan nodded and waved his hand.
Li Zexuan naturally agreed. After informing his parents, he followed Ye Guozhong to an old ginkgo tree in the northwest corner of the courtyard.
"Little Xuan! Recently, our family's bean sprouts have been selling very well in Chang 'an. You should know about it, right? "
Ye Guozhong asked Li Zexuan with his hands clasped behind his back.
Li Zexuan understood and roughly understood why Ye Guozhong called him out. He replied, "Of course I know!"
Ye Guozhong nodded and said with a heavy heart, "Little Xuan! Although the Li Family is small in number, with your position in the imperial court, it's only a matter of time before you become a powerful family that dominates a region. Now that you're in charge of the Li Family, you have to consider the interests of the family! For example, bean sprouts are a profitable business, but once others learn how to make them, you'll be in a passive position, Little Xuan!
In recent days, this old man has noticed that some servants in your residence have been leaving the residence very frequently. I reckon that it's very likely that other restaurants, merchants, or families want to get the secret recipe of bean sprouts through them! But you actually turned a blind eye to it and hid in Mount Yunshan to live a leisurely life. You're really … really … "
At the end, Ye Guozhong's old face was a little red. Obviously, he was angry. If the person in front of him was his own son, he would have slapped him.
Li Zexuan was happy in his heart. He secretly thought that the old man's vision was quite shrewd and ruthless. He could actually see the hidden danger in the residence. Seeing Ye Guozhong's angry face, Li Zexuan quickly cupped his hands and said, "Grandfather, please calm down! In fact, I've already expected this. But in my opinion, the Li Family can't monopolize the bean sprouts' secret recipe forever. This method isn't difficult to learn. During the process, you just need to pay attention to changing the water and air of the bean sprouts. Even if the servants in the residence don't say it out, the people outside will definitely be able to figure it out within a month or two. Grandfather, don't you think so? "
Ye Guozhong pondered for a moment and sighed. He nodded and said, "According to what you said, it's really possible! But if you strictly ordered the servants not to leave the residence at will from the beginning, perhaps the Li Family could earn a few more months' worth of bean sprouts! But now, I estimate that in less than five days, other restaurants in the city will definitely start selling bean sprouts! It's obviously you who thought of this thing, but it's benefiting others so quickly. Alas! "
Li Zexuan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Haha! Grandfather! This matter hasn't reached the end yet. It's still uncertain who will benefit from who! You just watch carefully! Let's see who will have the last laugh between your grandson and those secret thieves! "
Ye Guozhong was startled. He, who was old and experienced, instantly understood that Li Zexuan definitely had a backup plan. He sighed and said, "Haha! Looks like Grandfather has underestimated you! Fine, this old man won't meddle in other people's business. I'll wait outside for your good news! "
After saying that, the old man hummed a tune and walked away.
Li Zexuan was just about to go to the Drunken Immortal Inn to take a look when he saw Han Yuxi walking over with a servant girl following behind her.
"Husband, are you free now? This concubine has something to tell you! "
Han Yuxi's expression wasn't very good. After coming in front of him, she opened her mouth and said.
"En! Wife, if there's anything, just say it! "
"But … Husband, why don't we go inside and talk!"
Han Yuxi turned her head and glanced at the servant girl, feeling troubled.
Plop!
"Young Madam, there's no need! Lian 'er did something wrong and should be punished. Young Madam, you and Young Master don't have to give Lian' er any face! "
Before Li Zexuan could speak, the servant girl knelt on the ground with a plop and then kowtowed to Li Zexuan with tears in her eyes.
"Lian 'er?"
After Li Zexuan heard the name, his heart skipped a beat, but his expression didn't change. He pretended to be surprised and said, "Madam, what does this mean? What did she do wrong? "
Han Yuxi looked around and wanted to say something but hesitated.
Lian 'er cried and said, "Young Master! Lian 'er has let you down! I'm sorry, Old Master, Madam. Lian 'er betrayed the Li family. I beg Young Master to send Lian' er to the authorities for punishment! "
Li Zexuan hurriedly said, "Quickly get up! What kind of nonsense is this? Let's go! If there's anything, let's talk in the study! "
Although there were very few people who came to the place where they were standing now, it didn't mean that there weren't any. At the very least, Li Zexuan had already heard footsteps approaching, which was why he said that.
