Chapter 85: Big Festivals and Small Profits
Li Zhiwan held a horse whip in one hand and was wearing a white fox fur. She was graceful and said with a smile: "It turns out that Uncle Su still remembers it."
Su Su lowered her face slightly. It was not because of the burning of Qiqian Village at the beginning that the woman had started. It was too long since then. Although both sides resolved the misunderstandings, the generals and the whole village still had some grudges about the woman.
Su Su glanced at Li Zhiwan and said indifferently: "The third lady is a descendant of the aristocratic family. How could she be familiar with me? I have heard of it. As for Uncle Su, I dare not mention it."
Li Zhiwan hit a nail here. Su Su looked at the two people behind, the older man, slightly resentful, while the younger one was not concerned. However, the two did not say anything, obviously very well-educated.
Li Zhiwan nodded, with a hint of helplessness on her face, and she said immediately: "Since that's the case, I'll call Su Bottom."
Speaking of this, Li Zhiwan turned around and introduced the older man first, saying, "This is Mr. Chai." Su Su looked at Mr. Chai, handsome and handsome, with a heroic look on her face, and she was like a child from aristocratic families.
"Is it the Chai family in Linfen?" Su Su guessed.
The other party smiled slightly and refused to say anything. Su Su encountered a soft nail, but in this world, the children of the gentry were both famous and showed off everywhere, and some were low-key to deal with things, so they did not want outsiders to know their background.
Su Su had no idea. The Chai family in Linfen was also a powerful family in Bingzhou and had a great influence, not comparable to the Li family, who lived here.
Su Su would not flatter, but would not offend him. He bowed politely and said, "I have seen Mr. Chai!" The other party also returned to the courtesy, obviously he did not lose his courtesy because of his unhappiness just now.
Afterwards, Li Zhiwan pointed at another young man: "This is my second brother."
After the two sides finished the ceremony, Li Zhiwan expressed her intentions directly and said, "We are here to meet Mr. Li, and Mr. Li's head."
Su Su said truthfully: "Unfortunately, the chief escort leader is not in the Yanmen escort agency at this moment. As for the young escort leader, he might have gone to Mobei."
Upon hearing this, Li Zhiwan and his second brother both showed disappointment. The second brother said to himself: "How can Mobei be difficult to meet? I finally came to Jinyang. I thought I could meet Brother Li, but I missed it. It was a pity."
The young master Chai smiled and said, "Brother Li, it's just for a while. If that person is really as good as you said, he will be on the table one day, goodbye."
Li Zhiwan smiled and said, "It's a pity that this is such a pity."
Li Zhiwan took out a letter and said, "This letter was written by my father to the Chief Officer. Please pass it on to Su Bo." After delivering the letter, the two sides said goodbye, and the three of them rode away together.
On the way, the young master Chai couldn't help but say, "Sanniang, why do you think the Li family escort agency is so unqualified? We didn't even invite us in to sit when we passed by."
The young master Chai looked at Li Zhiwan with a hot look, obviously he was actively pursuing a beautiful woman.
In fact, Mr. Chai has a single name named Shao. His grandfather served as the governor of two states and was named the county duke. His father was the crown prince's right-hand man and was named the county duke. Now the Chai family lives in Linfen County is a prominent local family.
Li Yuan was very satisfied with it. He came to Hedong, Shanxi to handle the job. If he was effective, the emperor would want him to stay in Bingzhou. As a local official, if he wanted to be in a stable position, he naturally had to form a good local force.
The Chai family was both a gentry and a local tyrant in Shanxi. For Li Yuan, he naturally wanted to help him. The Chai family also wanted to have a close relationship with the Li family, so they came to propose marriage, hoping that Chai Shao would marry Li Sanniang.
Li Yuan had met Chai Shao and was quite satisfied with him. He decided to take him as his son-in-law and choose a date to get engaged to Li Zhiwan, but this matter was firmly opposed by Li Zhiwan.
Originally, marriage, parents' orders, matchmaker's words, especially aristocratic families like the Li family. However, the three wives of the Li family have been unusual since childhood, and have more opinions than their two brothers in many things, and are extremely strong and stubborn.
Li Yuan was keen on his career and had a long-term ambition. He attached great importance to his future in the officialdom, but he also loved his daughter.
So Li Yuan neither agreed nor refused the Chai family's proposal. Instead, he used a drag-on method to deliberately attract Chai Shao, allowing Zhi to be a guest in the mansion, and appeared in front of his daughter from time to time.
At this time, Li Zhiwan's second brother Li Shimin turned to Chai Shao and said, "This is because we have had some grudges on both sides of the world in the past. It's not their fault to come."
Chai Shao showed a little clear expression and said, "So that's it, Sanniang, looking at the face of Su Paktou of the Li family escort agency, I don't think they will help this time. Why don't we plan to go back early? My Chai family is also a little powerful in Linfen County and is willing to serve Duke Tang, and to fight against mobs like Mu Duaner, I will do my best to eliminate the harm in Linfen."
When Li Shimin heard Chai Shao say this, he smiled and said, "Brother Chai is really righteous."
Li Zhi politely said: "That's true, but the Li family escort leaders also have a reputation among the green forests of Taiyuan and Yanmen counties. If they can be allowed to come forward, in the green forest in this area, if the government forces attack Mu Duaner, if they do not help, it will be equivalent to cutting off Mu Duaner's strength out of thin air."
"But what happened back then..."
When Li Zhiwan said this, she couldn't help but think of a scene in Luoyang. After she threw the door away, she never saw Li Chongjiu again. Recently, she heard her brother mentioning the other party and complimenting her, and she couldn't help but think of him.
This time, Li Yuan was having dinner with several brothers and several new staff members at the family dinner, and one of the staff members casually mentioned the Li family escort agency.
Li Yuan just heard it casually at that time, but Li Zhiwan was so mean to ask for his orders, hoping to come to the Jinyang Escort Agency to see the other party in person.
Li Shimin said, "Three sisters, what happened back then was a misunderstanding between the two sides, but we can't blame us. No matter what, the Li family escort agency still bears your love, otherwise how could they have a household registration or how could they open an escort agency."
Li Zhiwan nodded and after dealing with the Li family affairs in this way, she took her back to apologize to Li Yuan. However, Li Yuan praised Li Sanniang for the matter. It was unexpected that Yin Kaishan went to encircle and suppress Qiqianzhai, although Li Zhiwan punished Yin Kaishan in order to save the bandits of Qiqianzhai.
But Li Zhiwan clearly remembered Li Yuan's words. Li Yuan said: "Seven thousand villages and bandits depended on our Li family. Although they failed in the end, they were taken care of by us. If they were worried about offending Yin Kaishan and wanted to abandon him, who would come to join us in the future? They would never lose their fortunes because of small profits."
After saying that, Li Yuan scolded Changsun Shunde, who had opposed the matter at the time.
At this time, in the Jinyang Escort Agency, Su Su opened the letter paper and took a look at the contents of the letter, which made him suffer a difficult situation.
Duke Tang personally came forward to write a letter, whether to help or not, you should know that in the past two years, the Li family escort agency has been wandering between the black and white roads, and suddenly rising up has benefited a lot.
Although the government and the Green Forest are in opposition, no matter how powerful the government has been in history, it is impossible to completely wipe out the Green Forest, so a messenger is needed between the government and the Green Forest.
The Li family escort agency is now playing this role, but this role is not easy to be. If it is not done well, it will be the result of both parties' offenses.
