Chapter 161 Turning your face is faster than turning a book

The reason why Xiao Bi and others were so curious was because they had heard from Qingzhao earlier that Mr. Li powdered medicine differently every year.

I thought he would have some new tricks this year, but I didn't expect that Mr. Li just ordered people to distribute medicine kits to everyone in order.

Not only is it stale, it can even be said to be extremely boring.

Several people returned to their seats and found some unimportant topics to talk about.

About two-quarters of an hour later, Mr. Li led his men back to the ship.

Not long after, a maid brought two tables of banquets to the cabin.

Several people grew up in wealthy families. Not to mention Xiao Bi, Sang Pu Qingzhao and others were also well-informed and had tasted all kinds of delicacies.

But Mr. Li's banquet still made them secretly sigh.

It turns out those rumors were all true.

Although Ruoshui City is a small place, and there are three powerful countries eyeing it, the people's life is really not bad at all.

This banquet is worth a lot of money just for the ingredients alone, and many officials in Beijing may not be willing to enjoy it during the holidays.

Look at Mr. Li again, he had such a sumptuous meal even for an ordinary lunch.

He was even willing to use it to entertain someone he had just met and could not be considered a good friend - a servant.

Xiao Bi secretly beat a small drum in her heart.

The Lord of Ruoshui City is so rich, and he only has a daughter and a son, so he must feel pain for the children to his bones.

If his son was really kidnapped, the ransom would cost an unknown amount of money.

Anyway, it is much more valuable than Prince Zhabutuo of Beirong.

On other people's territory, Xiao Bi and others should not be too indulgent. They picked up their bowls and started eating silently.

Inside the cabin it was a different scene.

In addition to a table of delicious food, two jugs of fine wine were also prepared.

Mr. Li held the pot and filled the wine glass, and said with a smile: "There is nothing good to eat in a hurry, but this wine is still drinkable. I will just drink a few glasses."

Huan Yu had heard the exact same polite words countless times, but when these words came out of Mr. Li's mouth, it made people feel that he was not just talking politely.

Huan Yu asked himself that he had grown up among wealth and wealth, but he did not dare to despise the delicacies in front of him.

This weak water city is only a few hundred miles in radius and has a population of hundreds of thousands. I have never heard of any particularly valuable properties in the city.

Even if they have business dealings with all three powerful countries, it is impossible for their family to keep the money they earn.

And as for the delicacies on the table today, some of the ingredients cannot be bought with money.

It seems that I underestimated the strength of Weoshui City before. Not only are they good at making money, they have also established their own material procurement channels in various countries.

The other party has already said too many polite words, and Huan Yu doesn't want to say any more.

He smiled and picked up the wine glass: "For the sake of our fate, Brother Li, please drink this glass to the full."

Mr. Li also picked up his wine glass, clinked it with him, and drank it all in one gulp.

After three or five drinks, the conversation between the two started again.

"I have heard for a long time that Chun Yu, the city lord, knows astronomy and geography, and is an expert in medicine and divination. I dare to ask my elder brother, is he really so powerful?"

"Those are just good words from others... Of course, the city lord is still very capable, otherwise how could he preserve the city left by the ancestors of the Chunyu family and allow hundreds of thousands of people in the city to live and work in peace and contentment.

If I am not afraid of offending my wise brother, Wei's national power is the most powerful among the three kingdoms, especially the Wei army's combat power, which can be said to be unmatched in today's world.

But when it comes to the lives of the people, no country can even think of comparing it with Weoshui City."

Huan Yu became more and more curious: "Brother, are you serious about what you said?"

Mr. Li smiled and said: "My dear brother and I are so close to each other, and I was just thinking of inviting you to stay in a humble house for a few days, so that you can learn from my dear brother.

But I'm afraid that my good brother has other important matters, and I don't want to give him this face.

In this case, my dear brother, please don’t shirk it and come with me to have a look at Ruoshui City later.”

"Would this... be inconvenient?"

Mr. Li patted him on the shoulder: "To be fair, brother, although I am a few years older than you, I am still alone, so there is nothing inconvenient about it.

If you like the life in Ruoshui City, then stay in the humble house for a year and a half.

My brother-in-law is the most hospitable, and he especially admires young talents like you.

If you are willing to live in the wealth and splendor of the Wei Dynasty, then there is nothing wrong with you becoming an official in Ruoshui City."

Huan Yu was really convinced.

He had never seen people who were eloquent, but compared to Mr. Li, those people's mouths seemed very clumsy.

He just wanted to inquire about the affairs of Ruoshui City, but this man had already arranged the rest of his life.

He smiled: "Brother Li is so enthusiastic, how dare I refuse."

Mr. Li was overjoyed and took up the wine flask to fill the wine glasses in front of them.

Xiao Bi, who was in the outer cabin, almost choked on the food in her mouth.

Brother Huan just deceived them into Ruoshui City?

This Mr. Li is a bit too enthusiastic.

Being courteous for nothing, either cheating or stealing, she must stay awake at all times and must not fall into his tricks.

Not long after lunch, the speed of the big ship slowed down and gradually stopped.

"Sir, we're here." A servant outside answered.

"Please, dear brother." Mr. Li stood up and raised his hand.

Huan Yu also said: "Brother Li, please."

The two looked at each other, smiled, and walked out of the cabin.

Xiao Bi and others had already finished their lunch and followed them out.

After a while, the soldiers guarding the city were seen slowly lowering a suspension bridge.

A group of fully armored soldiers lined up in two rows, posing to welcome guests.

Mr. Li and Huan Yu walked side by side towards the city.

Xiao Bi and others, surrounded by the servants of the Li family, also entered Ruoshui City.

It has been a long time since a distinguished guest visited Ruoshui City, so the soldiers inevitably looked at the visitor a few more times.

The distinguished guest Mr. Li brought today is really good-looking and has an outstanding temperament.

Compared with him, Mr. Li seemed a little dim.

The two maids are also very handsome, and their demeanor is no worse than that of girls from wealthy families in the city.

And these two young men, if they weren't wearing servants' clothes, others would definitely think of them as noble sons of some house.

As for Xiao Bi, she was simply ignored by the soldiers as a servant of the Li family.

After entering the city, they saw four or five carriages already waiting there.

Mr. Li and Huan Yu got on the first carriage, while Xiao Bi and others got on the second one.

About half an hour later, the carriage stopped at the door of Li Mansion.

Mr. Li welcomed several people into the mansion with great enthusiasm.

However, as soon as he walked to the door of the living room, Mr. Li's smiling face suddenly changed into an iceberg face.

Sang Pu and others immediately became alert, but Xiao Bi wanted to laugh.

Sure enough, there is really a treacherous plot, this guy will fall out faster than turning over a book!

Huan Yu calmly shook his folding fan: "Brother Li, what does this mean?"
Chapter completed!
