My Father and I Live in the Cold Palace
Chapter 131 Foodie
"Someone wants to see me? Who?" Liu Shiwen asked in surprise.
"I don't know. They said they were guests from the front yard. The master asked them to come here." Xiao Sui'er said repeatedly.
When Liu Shiwen heard this, he thought of the people on Sufeng Island.
But why did these people come over without saying anything and want to see me?
Liu Shiwen tidied up and got ready, then asked Xiao Sui'er to take him to the guest.
After he sat down, he saw five or six men and women in simple and plain clothes walking in.
After they saw Liu Shiwen, their eyes were only bright and excited, and they said, "Are you Mrs. Liu? I heard that the food and drinks we sent to our island were all given by Mrs."
"Yes, yes, those Everything is delicious, and we like talented people who can make such things."
Before Liu Shiwen could say anything, someone on the other side started talking.
After they finished talking nonsense, Liu Shiwen realized that these people were here for the food he had grown.
"If you are talking about those things, it is indeed me." Liu Shiwen said: "But other arrangements and other matters were made by my husband, the prince of your family. Don't make a mistake."
"We know this . "The people on Sufeng Island looked around and naturally sat on the chairs next to them, and said: "Our main task when we come out this time is to find someone who can give us food and teach us our skills. "The rest is to help the prince."
"But I don't have any skills to teach you, but if you want to work with me, I can provide you with food and drink." Liu Shiwen said with a smile.
"Really? Okay, it's decided. We have never eaten such delicious food here. When we were on the island, the elders and the island owner said they wanted to do something with you." Sufeng Island As he spoke, the man clapped his hands and kowtowed to Liu Shiwen.
"Wait a minute." Liu Shiwen was shocked. He didn't expect the people on Sufeng Island to behave so strangely, but they also had a sense of simple cuteness.
"What?" The leader of Sufeng Island is a young man. He looks tall and thin, but he seems to be very agile.
"Although I want to find someone to help me with my work, I have the best food and drink, so naturally I don't want to find a bunch of idiots and people with evil intentions." Liu Shiwen said.
"We are not bad people. We just want to eat well, drink well, live better, have medicine when we are sick, and have books for our children to read." The people from Sufeng Island said directly.
"Of course I can trust you in this, but I still know too little about you, so you can talk to your prince about your capabilities and demands, and when he understands it, he will naturally come and talk to me. "Liu Shiwen looked at the people on Sufeng Island, visibly a little disappointed, but he had to persevere.
He didn't want to find a bunch of evil people from the beginning. If that was the case, he might as well push these people to King Yikang.
"Let's discuss it." The few people gathered together and made quick gestures with their fingers.
Liu Shiwen knew that this was probably their own way of communicating to keep it secret. After a while, the leading man looked at Liu Shiwen and said, "We will tell the prince, so let's leave first. "
Okay." Liu Shiwen nodded, and those people left quickly.
After they left, King Yikang's servant also came over and told Liu Shiwen that the people on Sufeng Island were used to getting along with each other and had some unique ways of talking and doing things, so he should not take it to heart.
"No, this is quite interesting. If you can lead them to do things, it will be very interesting." After Liu Shiwen finished speaking, the boy ran away.
When King Yikang heard the reply, he looked at the people on Sufeng Island with black faces. It was not rude to say that these people were rude. Anyway, they insisted on going there when they heard that the delicious food was in the backyard. , and said that he would do things with that person.
I left King Yikang behind here.
The good thing now is that Liu Shiwen asked them to come to him to talk. Fortunately, he can coordinate and communicate with them. If they live here, they will feel strange.
However, King Yikang could also understand why they became what they were, and he felt guilty in his heart, so he let them feel more at ease and communicated with them patiently.
It was almost evening, and King Yikang returned to the house tiredly.
"How is it?" Liu Shiwen had also seen the strange looks of the people on Sufeng Island, and he smiled distressedly when he saw King Yikang like this.
"Don't mention it. They are all the same guys. Their abilities are still good. When I went to the island, I took away all the craft books. Now everyone is a good craftsman." King Yikang sat there and drank a drink first. Tea.
"So powerful?" Liu Shiwen asked and found out. Don't think that the people on Sufeng Island don't understand anything because they are survivors on an isolated island.
You must know that they were all carefully selected characters at the beginning, and later brought a large number of craft books and other things so that they could be used directly when they were activated in the future.
Even the people on Sufeng Island started learning martial arts from a very young age, and now everyone is a strong player. In addition, due to the environment, in order to survive and develop, the adults on Sufeng Island need to make their own boats to glide around the island.
Their water properties are also very good. When Cui's escapees fell from the boat, they were rescued by Sufeng Island.
"So powerful?" After listening to Liu Shiwen's words, he realized that he might have underestimated these people.
"Yes, otherwise why would I value them so much? If it's just to make up for it, just bring them out to give them some food and a place to study. Don't bother so much." King Yikang said helplessly.
"I see. If that's the case, I can consider it." Liu Shiwen's thoughts also moved.
"The one they admire the most now is you. They say they have never eaten such delicious fruits and vegetables, as well as the rice and noodles sent over." King Yikang said with a smile: "The whole island is just like Xiao Zhuo. Food has been studied to a very high level, but unfortunately they are too poor in supplies and can only drool over books. "
"In that case, I will prepare something for them, not for anything else but for them . Having the same hobbies as Xiao Zhuo made Liu Shiwen even more interesting.
He called Cui Xiaozhuo over. When Cui Xiaozhuo heard that the people in Sufeng Shang were like this, he felt curious and nervous.
"You pick out some of your favorite things that you want them to try, and I'll prepare them in the next few days." Liu Shiwen said.
"Okay." Cui Xiaozhuo himself thought carefully for about two days before giving Liu Shiwen a menu.
Liu Shiwen had already told Cui Xiaozhuo about the situation of the people on Sufeng Island, and Cui Xiaozhuo was very considerate and serious in making arrangements.
Liu Shiwen was moved by what he saw and added a few more exciting dishes to the table. Finally, he arranged it and asked King Yikang to call the people from Sufeng Island.
There were probably close to twenty people. When they arrived and saw the tables of food, they knelt down on the spot to show respect.
Liu Shiwen hurriedly took Cui Xiaozhuo out of the way, and waited for them to finish it before saying, "Eat. I heard that you guys like to study food. Today we will discuss this and nothing else."
After the people on Sufeng Island heard this, their eyes were excited but with some hesitation. After Cui Xiaozhuo came out to greet and introduce them, those people let down their guard a little.
"Eat as you are used to, don't worry about anything else." Liu Shiwen said and sat down with Cui Xiaozhuo.
A group of people started to exclaim while eating.
The people of Sufeng Island are not backward savages or anything like that. On the contrary, they have very good eating habits and are clean. They just respect what they eat.
During the meal, Cui Xiaozhuo explained the reasons for serving these dishes. Most of the people on Sufeng Island were listening. When Cui Xiaozhuo spoke, they clapped their hands and applauded, saying that Cui Xiaozhuo knew what he was doing.
Cui Xiaozhuo himself was also praised for his face. Although he studied well and looked good, he rarely received positive praise for his love of eating.
Facing these people on Sufeng Island, he felt a strange sense of pride.
When they were almost done eating, Liu Shiwen asked someone to bring warm tea and clean water. Everyone had a quick drink and then let them disperse.
After the people from Sufeng Island had eaten, two or three people left behind to express their gratitude to Liu Shiwen and Cui Xiaozhuo for being entertained today, and one of them even recited a poem emotionally.
Cui Xiaozhuo couldn't help but admire him when he saw that he looked like a gentleman, thin and clean, and the poems he read were similar.
Seeing that Cui Xiaozhuo knew this, the man winked at Cui Xiaozhuo and left.
When the people of Sufeng Island left and the next day, King Yikang said that Liu Shiwen had now won the hearts and minds of the people of Sufeng Island.
"Really?" Liu Shiwen didn't expect that he would have such a wonderful experience when recruiting people for the first time.
"But don't be too relaxed. All of these people are human beings. I suspect that they came here this time just to show off their ugliness to see how they will be treated here." King Yikang also looked a little cold when he talked about this.
Playing these tricks in front of him shows that the thoughts of the people in Sufeng Island are no longer with the Cui family. To be honest, they are just thinking about old friendships and looking forward to King Yikang's abilities.
If you really want them to be loyal, you may have to start over.
But what surprised him was that Liu Shiwen's actions directly and simply captured the hearts of people on Sufeng Island.
Now the people on Sufeng Island are clamoring to go back and bring people over to do things for Liu Shiwen. As for King Yikang, they can naturally consider it.
"Sometimes you really have to admire Madam." King Yikang sighed with his counselors, but they didn't expect that Liu Shiwen would pick the fruit in the end.
But it doesn't matter, they all belong to the same family, and not everyone on Sufeng Island has this kind of mentality. Naturally, there are also people who want to make contributions.
The most important thing now is that Liu Shiwen really kept them.
Chapter 132
After Mrs. Chen heard that King Yikang was still alive and that King Yikang had kept the people from Sufeng Island, she felt a lot more relaxed. At night, she followed Liu Shiwen inside the house, talking nicely and praising him for his greatness.
"What's so great about me is Xiaozhuo." Liu Shiwen also likes to eat, but he's not as professional and serious as Cui Xiaozhuo and Sufengdao.
Fortunately, Cui Xiaozhuo arranged it this time. If Liu Shiwen was asked to come by himself, I wonder if the people who came to Sufeng would dislike it and not eat it.
"No matter what, as long as we can catch the people from Sufeng Island, whether we go to Quancheng or do other things in the future, we will have a foundation in manpower skills." King Yikang added.
Liu Shiwen nodded. He also had to investigate it himself. He couldn't blindly use the people on Sufeng Island just because they had the ability.
Besides, where to open a shop, these must be investigated and studied before spending money to open a shop.
Liu Shiwen told King Yikang that he was not in a hurry, so he asked King Yikang to make arrangements first. He has been focusing more on studying medicine recently.
His medicine field has now developed into a medicine garden. Not only the scope has become larger, but the things in it have also become more and more incredible.
Not only medicinal materials, but also spiritual fruits that have been growing for several years and decades have begun to appear.
Eating these things alone is good for the body, and if mixed with medicinal materials, the medicinal effects will be very good.
In order to strengthen his medical skills, Liu Shiwen was constantly busy in the medicine house, creating medicines for different diseases.
These medicines certified by the pharmacy were distributed to King Yikang.
King Yikang took these things either for his own use or for social circulation. He even got some magical elixir for Emperor Furong to replenish his body. Emperor Furong had never eaten anything so efficacious. I thought that King Yikang must have some good things left by the immortals.
King Yikang pretended to be mysterious and lured Emperor Furong. Emperor Furong's mind gradually became less and less concerned with government affairs.
At the same time, Furong Prince Fu Yehu began to continuously seize power and build his own strength.
At this time, the Chen family also wanted to arrange for their own people to come in, but neither Prince Furong nor King Yikang would allow them to do so.
Especially King Yikang, he was naturally very clear about the methods of the Chen family. Under his guidance, Prince Furong was doing Tai Chi with the Chen family, while King Yikang quickly began to clear out the Chen family's people in Furong. .
Prince Furong would not let King Yikang kill all the people of the Chen family.
After all, Mrs. Chen is also kind to him, but in this way, the people of Mrs. Chen in Furong Kingdom can only stay in hiding, and it will be even harder to interfere in Furong's court affairs.
The people of the Chen family also understood at this time that King Yikang himself or his forces must be in Furong Kingdom. The most likely possibility is that King Yikang was really alive in the first place!
"This... how is it possible? I did insert the sword into his heart. And even if my sword didn't hit the vital point, there was absolutely no way he could survive given his condition at the time!" Cui Jiu asked Chen in confusion. Emperor Chen Guangheng started discussing.
Chen Guangheng naturally couldn't think of a reason.
For this reason, he also asked Master Shengci. Master Shengci also said that unless there was help from an immortal, King Yikang would have no chance of surviving.
Master Shengci said this, and his queen, Queen Shu, also concluded this.
"Your Majesty, we actually heard another mysterious thing in Furong Kingdom. It is said that the reason why Emperor Furong became increasingly obsessed with alchemy is that he heard somewhere that the traitor King Yikang was given elixir by an immortal. He just came back from the dead. "
The people of the Chen family are not completely without gains in Furong Country.
"It's ridiculous!" Chen Guangheng, the emperor of the Chen family, was furious after hearing this, and said: "It's destiny to be alone. What kind of immortal? I think he may have used some vicious methods to survive. I'm afraid he doesn't dare to show his face until now." You know what a human being and ghost you have become!"
Queen Shu heard Emperor Chen Guangheng say this. Regardless of her personal emotions, Queen Shu Shu Feiyuan also felt that King Yikang must have taken some strong poison to be able to do this. To achieve "resurrection from the dead".
He also believes that King Yikang may really be in a state of neither human nor ghost, and may have turned into something like a fake corpse, otherwise he would not be able to survive like this.
"It must be like this. Cui has always been crazy and likes to do these evil tricks." Emperor Chen said sarcastically.
"Perhaps we can send experts to find out more clearly." Shu Feiyuan said.
"We sent them, but they were followed by Cui's people. Cui's people are not dead yet." Emperor Chen gritted his teeth as he spoke.
"But even if they are not dead, the Chen State has lost their foothold. If they want to survive, they will not be able to make waves," Shu Feiyuan said.
"No, that's why they are there to bewitch Furong Kingdom now. That Fu Yehu is also a white-eyed wolf. He has forgotten who protected him in the first place? He also said that he and the Sixth Prince are like brothers, but now he is involved with King Yikang. Together!" Emperor Chen became angry as he thought about it.
After all, Fu Yehu is a brainless person. After hearing what he said, he can still successfully become the emperor of Furong Kingdom. Even if he wants Furong to attach himself to him in the future, he is still better than the vicious King Yikang, right?
Emperor Chen thought this way. The only good thing was that Fu Yehu also sent someone to send a letter and gave some information about Cui. He said that Cui had recently brought a group of people over from nowhere, which made a lot of difference. The power of the situation told him to pay more attention.
"Where else could it come from? The Cui family doesn't really think that our Chen family didn't know about the things they brought people to the island, right?" Emperor Chen sneered and said: "Thousands of people, Cui "You can also use it as a treasure."
"Your Majesty, do we want to intercept him in the middle?" Chen's adviser asked.
"It's not necessary yet. Their island is very weird and cannot be easily approached. If you send someone to intercept it, you may not be able to protect yourself. It's better to keep an eye on Cui's side." Emperor Chen said with a cold face.
"Yes." Chen Guo's advisers also knew that their country's water warfare capabilities were not strong, so it was understandable that His Majesty wanted to avoid this.
"Now that our people in Furong Kingdom can't get a word in, and they are being persecuted step by step by King Yikang, do we want them to come back?" the counselor asked again.
"No, don't come back. Staying there can serve as a warning to Prince Furong. Not only will they not come back, but I will also send someone over." Emperor Chen said and announced that Minister Liu Shixing was coming.
Liu Shixing had been favored by Emperor Chen in the past two years, and he himself was very grateful to the Emperor for not placing Liu Shiwen's crimes on their family.
Now that I heard that His Majesty was going to announce him, I naturally came over quickly.
When he arrived, he heard that King Yikang had come back to life. What was even more shocking was that Liu Shiwen and his son were probably still alive!
"This...how is this possible? It is possible for Liu Shiwen and his son to escape, but King Yikang..." Liu Shixing really couldn't believe it.
"There is no need to be shocked. According to the Queen and Master Shengci, King Yikang has probably turned into a thing that is neither human nor ghost." Emperor Chen said: "The journey of evil will not last long after all. Come back and find Just crack it."
"Yes." Liu Shixing shuddered when he thought of King Yikang. He was still alive in such a situation. He was really a monster.
"Now that Furong is blocked, there is a lack of ministers to control the situation. Besides, you are Liu Shiwen's brother, and you are also the brother-in-law of King Yikang. It should be easy for you to go there." Chen Emperor Shi said.
"Your Majesty... But later on, I have been completely loyal to you, and I have also informed your Majesty of Liu Shiwen and others. Now Liu Shiwen probably hates Wei Chen to death. If Wei Chen goes over now... will he Will it ruin His Majesty's important event?" Liu Shiwen said hesitantly and worriedly.
"Don't worry, there is Prince Furong protecting you over there. Just go over there and give it a try and help Gu find out what's going on with Liu Shiwen's family." Emperor Chen looked at Liu Shixing with a cold smile and said. "I won't let you suffer anything."
When Liu Shixing heard his Majesty say this, he could only nod in agreement, packed up his things and secretly headed towards Furong Kingdom.
But before they arrived at Furong Country, Liu Shixing and his party disappeared out of thin air.
"Oh? Disappeared? Or were you invited over as a guest?" Emperor Chen sneered when he heard this, and then the report came over, saying that his uncle, General Shu Ning'an, had followed Liu Shixing and others. The whereabouts are heading towards where King Nayi Kang and others are.
"Your Majesty also sent your uncle?" When the counselor heard this, he realized that his Majesty had used Liu Shixing as a bait.
"The King of Yikang has always been very proud. After he thought that he had accomplished a few things, he couldn't help but want to provoke him. He calculated that he would invite Liu Shixing to come over and ask his uncle to keep an eye on him. Take a look." Emperor Chen said. , "But uncle Guo doesn't have a master-disciple relationship with that little rebel..." the counselor said worriedly.
"Don't worry, even if my uncle is not happy with Gu, he also knows that he is loyal to the emperor and serves the country. The Shu family cannot afford him to do such treasonous things, and there are still queens and princes here." Emperor Chen told Shu Ning Although An was wary, he also knew that Shu Ning'an was a true son of the Shu family, and being loyal to the emperor and serving the country was very important to them.
Moreover, the only person in the civil and military dynasty who could fight with King Yikang was his uncle Shu Ning'an.
Even in terms of fighting, King Yikang is not necessarily Shu Ning'an's opponent.
"Just wait, my uncle will find out soon." Emperor Chen was very confident, and sure enough, just three days later, Shu Ning'an sent a message saying that King Yikang had invited Liu Shixing to a banquet, and confessed that he Already married to Liu Shiwen.
"At the banquet, everyone else looked normal. Only King Yikang was shielding himself from the light." Shu Ning'an's letter came quickly. When Emperor Chen saw it, his face was filled with disgust. After taking the letter, he Went to see Queen Shu, the family's miracle doctor.
"I guess he went all the way to the Poison Corpse." Queen Shu's medical skills are miraculous, which are all derived from the settings in the previous book. She often does miraculous things, so his medical knowledge also inherits the settings from the original book, so there will be some Weird and spooky stuff.
But these things will never happen again because the plot of the original book has ended.
But Queen Shu herself didn't know it, so she started studying it seriously with his magical medical skills.
Chapter 133 His good friend
, Emperor Chen, naturally had great support and trust in Empress Shu, so he let him study it, waiting to bump into King Yikang later, and get rid of his ghostly appearance with one move.
"I can deal with you the first time, and naturally I can deal with you the second time! You, Mr. Cui, will never get over in the hands of our Mr. Chen!" After the Emperor Chen said this, he asked people to come over and see Liu Shixing and others. people's whereabouts.
After Liu Shixing was captured by King Yikang, he was sent out within a few days. When he opened his eyes again, he was already on the sea.
Mr. Liu was not a timid person to begin with, but he was suddenly taken away and saw such a strange King Yi Kang. After waiting for him to eat a few good meals, he passed out, and when he opened his eyes, he was already at sea. .
Several people were not very good at rowing, but Shu Ning'an's people came to rescue them later.
"What happened?" Shu Ning'an asked with a stern face. He had not dared to show his face in order to track down King Yikang.
Because he knew better that King Yikang's method of dealing with Liu Shixing was different from his.
After all, he was also attracted to Liu Shiwen at the beginning.
Before he could figure out the true appearance of King Yikang, he did not dare to show his face easily.
All I can do is ask if Liu is okay.
Liu Shixing could only vaguely say that he saw Liu Shiwen and Cui Xiaozhuo. Both of them were dressed as luxuriously as if they were immortals. They also prepared a banquet for immortals, but Yikang next to him The king is really weird and terrifying.
How dare they eat those things.
Although King Yikang covered himself, he could feel the faint chill and smell while sitting in the room over there.
The stench was terrifying and disgusting.
"I've sent people to keep an eye on you. No matter what, you can't come here overnight." Shu Ning'an frowned and said, "Unless they have some secret passage here that they don't know about."
"This is for us . I don't know. Uncle Guo, you can't leave us now." Liu Shixing was really frightened.
If the Liu Shiwen and his son he met were simpler, he would still be able to bear it.
But when he saw the father and son, they were dressed as luxuriously and elegantly as immortals. Coupled with the weird King Yikang next to them, this family was not normal!
"But His Majesty wants you to go to Furong Imperial City for business, and I have to go back to resume my life." After Shu Ning'an said that, he asked someone to escort Liu Shixing to Furong Imperial City.
After arriving there, Liu Shixing, who was already frightened, met the nervous Emperor Furong again and heard him talk about King Yikang's resurrection from the dead.
Liu Shixing felt that there was no normal person here at all.
After he returned to the place where he lived, the people there also cried and begged him to go back. They couldn't bear the inexplicable things happening around them, and sometimes people even kept disappearing.
Liu Shixing himself was afraid, but Prince Furong came over and told them to live well and he would protect them.
"Why are you protecting us? Is there something dangerous here?" Liu Shixing was already a little nervous.
"My lord, you are joking. This Furong Imperial City is so clean, how could there be anything dangerous?" After saying this, Furong Prince Fu Yehu wrote a letter in person to inform Emperor Chen that he would entertain Liu Shixing and others well. Minister, and once again thanked Emperor Furong in the letter for taking care of them.
By the time the letter was sent, winter had already arrived in Furong Country.
The winter here is not as cold as in Chen country, but the rule of Furong people is to stop what they are doing and prepare to rest when winter comes.
Prince Furong can also come to Xuancui Town when the time comes. The reason is that the third prince misses Cui Xiaozhuo, and of course he has to help the fourth lady move.
"Dad, Ye Ling is here." Cui Xiaozhuo happily brought the third prince Furong to his home.
Liu Shiwen was teasing his twin sons. The two little guys were getting cuter and cuter as they grew older, and they also had a kind of tiger energy inside, which was really endearing.
"I've met Madam." Fu Yeling is now completely recovered, her voice has recovered a lot, and she looks very elegant in the prince's robes.
Liu Shiwen smiled and asked someone to bring over a fruit plate and snacks.
"It's better to eat these things here." Fu Yeling said, but his eyes fell on the twins.
The twins like meeting strangers very much, and they looked very happy after seeing Fu Yeling.
Fu Yeling couldn't help but walked over.
Liu Shiwen asked him to wipe his hands and start playing with the twins. Cui Xiaozhuo also came to play.
"You two, please be gentle, you are really being treated as a toy." Liu Shiwen sat close by, naturally keeping a close eye on him.
"Yes." Fu Yeling and the two of them are the kind of people who like children. They coax and kiss each other, but the twins want to bully them.
"Okay, okay, you two go over and talk. It's time for these two to sleep for a while." Liu Shiwen said, and Fu Yeling reluctantly followed Cui Xiaozhuo.
Cui Xiaozhuo compared height with Fu Yeling on the road. He was taller than Fu Yeling.
"I'm taller than you when I come back. Look at my big brother now." Fu Yeling made a gesture.
Cui smiled and thought that Fu Yehu was only thirteen now, but he was already very tall and much more imposing.
"Seeing that your imperial brother is even less talkative." Cui Xiaozhuo said.
"My eldest brother said that this way he can control others better and make people ignore his age." Fu Yeling said and entered Cui Xiaozhuo's room. After entering, he started to admire him.
"I heard that your relatives came to your house and you tidied up the house, but I didn't expect that you did it to this extent." Fu Yeling knew that Cui Xiaozhuo's family didn't have much money, but this kind of handiwork was still amazing, elegant and luxurious. Not tacky.
"Hey." Cui Xiaozhuo also showed off his bookshelf. The bookshelf has specific switches, just like a half-open book, and the middle pages can control the movement.
"It's amazing, but there are too many books." Fu Yeling knew that Cui Xiaozhuo loved and could read, but it was still shocking to see such a big bookshelf in his bedroom.
"Are you okay? I have a bookstore at home, these are nothing." Cui Xiaozhuo was now past the time to show off his toys, and then he told Fu Yeling about the fact that he was ignored when relatives came to his home.
"These people are like this. Brother, they are not worth mentioning." Fu Yeling also felt it personally.
"Then I have to do better than anyone else. If I stand taller, they will naturally look up to me." Cui Xiaozhuo said.
"Hey, my eldest brother seems to have said something like this." Fu Yeling looked at Cui Xiaozhuo with admiration and said, "You two are actually quite similar in some places."
"How is that possible?" Cui Xiaozhuo instinctively refused.
Fu Yeling knew that Cui Xiaozhuo didn't like his elder brother Fu Yehu very much, so he didn't mention it, and then talked about the things he was feeling depressed in the palace.
"How long do you want to stay here? When you come back, I will take you to see the flower mountain I planted." Cui Xiaozhuo asked with a smile.
"We are going to stay for a while. The Fourth Madam is moving. Naturally, we have to hold a banquet before leaving. My imperial brother said that there is nothing going on in the court recently, so we can stay here for a few more days." Fu Yeling said happily.
"Well, when you come back, I will take you to see Mr. Wei, and then I will take you to see my Huashan on horseback." Cui Xiaozhuo said with satisfaction.
"Where are you going?"
As the two people were talking, Fu Yehu also came over.
He is now a prince and even a heirloom. Emperor Furong is increasingly ignoring government affairs. He has begun to handle state affairs surrounded by ministers, and the whole person looks more impressive.
Fu Yeling wanted to say something, but Cui Xiaozhuo shook his head and said it was nothing.
Fu Ye walked in with a smile and was a little surprised when he saw Cui Xiaozhuo's bookshelf. He picked up a book and started reading, then paused and looked at Cui Xiaozhuo.
Cui Xiaozhuo chuckled lightly and then accepted it, even explaining the meaning.
He was sitting there with a confident chuckle on his lips. His whole face was as handsome as jade, but he didn't give off the feeling of being too arrogant.
Fu Yehu smiled and took out a few more books. Cui Xiaozhuo couldn't answer any of them.
"Yes, it's really not something that mortals like us can compare to." Fu Ye said with a sigh.
"What? It's just that I have read it too many times." After Cui Xiaozhuo finished speaking, he took out the sand table battle situation, glanced at Fu Yehu and said, "Your Highness,
would you like to have one?" "Yours is better than mine. "Fu Yehu walked over excitedly after seeing it.
Fu Yeling knew that the two of them hadn't seen each other for a while, and they were both holding back their energy to impress each other, so he smiled and sat not far away eating snacks and watching.
The two of them fought non-stop from the beginning, and when they were called outside for dinner, Cui Xiaozhuo said that His Highness the Crown Prince was so powerful, and he wanted to go over for dinner.
"It's not too late to eat later." Fu Ye was so excited that he was going to pull Cui Xiaozhuo over.
But Cui Xiaozhuo dodged dexterously, and then said: "Eating is the most important thing in the world. Fu Yeling is leaving."
"Okay." Fu Yeling also wanted to see what new tricks the Cui family had come up with recently. Throw away the snacks and follow Cui Xiaozhuo to go there.
After he walked a few steps, he turned around and saw that the emperor was still looking at the sand table and said, "You have violated his taboos. How can you let him eat in front of Xiao Zhuo after a while."
"What? " Before Fu Yehu could react, his brother, the third prince, ran over.
Fu Yehu couldn't stay there, so he followed him with big steps.
Mrs. Liu has prepared a large table of novel food and placed it there, and Cui Xiaozhuo introduced it to Fu Yeling.
Fu Yeling had a weak stomach and was a bit picky about his taste. Cui Xiaozhuo chose a few dishes for him, saying that they would be good after eating them.
Fu Yehu saw it and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhuo and Ye Ling are real friends. They even remember these."
"What does this mean? I remember it even if it's yours." Cui Xiaozhuo said.
"Even so?" Fu Ye asked Cui Xiaozhuo with a smile.
The author has something to say: ????
Chapter 134 The new book boy
Cui Xiaozhuo glanced at Fu Yehu, his eyes flashed with panic, then he lowered his head and started eating without saying a word.
"Okay, let's eat. After eating, why don't we go to see Huashan?" Liu Shiwen naturally wanted to smooth things over for his son. After he said this, Brother Fu Yehu started eating without saying anything.
After waiting for dinner, Cui Xiaozhuo and others went over to watch Huashan go out for a walk.
Liu Shiwen sent someone he trusted there, but he didn't follow him.
"Madam, the people from Sufeng Island are here again." Xiao Sui'er ran over.
After Liu Shiwen heard this, although he was a little confused, he still asked Xiao Sui'er to bring someone over. This time it was Mr. Ji who was reading poetry, and he brought a young boy with him.
"I've met Madam." Mr. Ji saluted, his posture and style were very dignified.
Liu Shiwen returned the greeting, and Mr. Ji was a little surprised. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, they were just servants of the Cui family.
But this Mrs. Liu is very different.
"Come here today, but what's the matter?" Liu Shiwen asked.
"I wanted to come to the young master to see if he wanted to take in a book boy." Mr. Ji smiled and patted the half-grown boy next to him.
"I've met Madam, my name is Su An." The half-grown boy looked at Thirteen and Four. His facial features were not to mention handsome, but Xiaoshu looked very energetic as well.
"He is a book lover. I want him to be a book boy with the young master and learn something from him." Mr. Ji said and introduced Su An.
It turns out that Su'an also has a background, and is the grandson of the elder on the island. The elder has passed away, and his parents are gone, and he is now with Mr. Ji.
"Since I like reading, I naturally take care of it, not to mention being a book boy." Liu Shiwen said simply.
Mr. Ji looked at Liu Shiwen and said, "Madam, you think this boy is incompetent?"
"Sir, you are joking. If you want to study, you don't have to be a bookboy. If you want to be an errand, you can find one or two errands." Liu Shiwen said directly.
Mr. Ji understood immediately that what Liu Shiwen meant was to just tell him what he wanted to do, and don't beat around the bush.
"In that case, let's let him study first, right? Madam can keep him and assign him to do something, as if it's worth studying." Mr. Ji said.
"Okay, then stay here and go to school with Xiaozhuo when you come back. But I don't know how good he is, so Mr. Wei is not willing to accept anyone." Liu Shiwen said worriedly.
"He's still good. If he doesn't accept it then, let him follow him and become a book boy." Mr. Ji said.
"Okay, then let's stay." After Liu Shiwen said that, he asked Xiao Sui'er to find a room for Su An to live in, and then told Su An that Cui Xiaozhuo and others had gone to Huashan and called him Go over there now.
Su An looked at Mr. Ji. Mr. Ji knew that this was probably the test that Madam told them.
"Go." After Mr. Ji said that, Su An saluted and went out.
After Su'an left, Mr. Ji saluted Liu Shiwen again.
"Sir, there is no need to be so polite. I don't like these things." Liu Shiwen said.
Mr. Ji stood up and nodded and said, "Yes, this is the first time for us to see such a free and easy person like Madam. We also feel that Madam has high righteousness and wants to follow Madam and achieve a career." "
How many people?" Liu Shiwen asked.
Mr. Ji paused and said, "There are probably more than a hundred people. Half of the people on the island are unwilling to leave the island, and the rest still want to follow the prince."
"Are you having a dispute?" Liu Shiwen asked. .
"No, our Sufeng Island has never restricted people's ambitions." Mr. Ji said.
"Okay, come back and give me a list and a brief introduction. Give me all the names of the leaders. I'll arrange a place for you to eat and live after I see it." Liu Shiwen said again: "Let's talk about it first, I'm here They probably got together with the prince, and the two sides can't be completely separated."
"Yes, we also know this. After all, we are the survivors of the Cui family, and we recognize it." Mr. Ji said.
"Well, go ahead and make arrangements. If you have anything for Su'an, you can send someone to deliver it first." Liu Shiwen said.
"Yes." Mr. Ji said and left.
Cui Xiaozhuo and others on the other side did not return until almost evening.
After getting off the car, Cui Xiaozhuo called his father to come in.
"What's wrong?" Liu Shiwen responded and saw Su An following Cui Xiaozhuo.
"Wait outside, I have something to say to dad." Cui Xiaozhuo turned around and said something, and Su An stood there nervously, not daring to move.
Cui Xiaozhuo then entered the house and closed the door.
"What? Don't you like Su'an?" Liu Shiwen asked.
"It's not that I don't like him. Why did you arrange for him to come over suddenly? He almost had a conflict with Prince Furong." Cui said with a somewhat depressed smile.
"Oh? How can there be a conflict?" Liu Shiwen didn't want to leave a troublemaker beside Cui Xiaozhuo.
"It wasn't for any reason. It was just that Prince Furong saw him coming and asked a few more questions, and then the two of them became inexplicably nonchalant." Cui Xiaozhuo said that the two almost started fighting.
"Can Su'an still use martial arts?" Liu Shiwen asked.
"It's all the skills of the Cui family. It's not very powerful, but it has a good foundation. After receiving a few blows from Prince Furong, I was able to pull away." Cui Xiaozhuo said.
"Why are you watching Prince Furong beating him?" Liu Shiwen asked.
"It's not a fight. We will naturally bump into each other when competing. Neither of them cares." Cui Xiaozhuo knew that Liu Shiwen didn't practice martial arts and didn't know much about these things.
"What do you think of him? He belongs to the elder of Sufeng Island. His parents are gone. Now he is studying with Mr. Ji. Mr. Ji probably wants him to find a way out here and study with him." Liu Shi Wen said.
"Is that so? Anyway, I don't need him to be a book boy. I can do everything myself. I don't want him to follow me in everything." Cui Xiaozhuo said.
"You can tell him this yourself. Even if he is your helper, you don't have to treat him as a servant. Maybe he can help you with things in the future." Liu Shiwen said.
"It's too early to say this now. Let's take a look first to see what level and temper he is." Cui Xiaozhuo drank the water and went out.
After Cui Xiaozhuo went out, Su An stood there nervously.
"You go in, my father said he just wanted you to study together, you don't need to be my subordinate." After Cui Xiaozhuo finished speaking, Na Su'an nodded without saying anything and watched Cui Xiaozhuo leave.
After Cui Xiaozhuo left, Liu Shiwen called Su An in and asked what happened.
"When I went over, I said he was Young Master Xiao Zhuo's book boy. Young Master Xiao Zhuo said no, so I followed him until I came back. Prince Furong was really anxious," Su An said.
"Oh? Do you know he is Prince Furong?" Liu Shiwen asked in surprise.
"I know, Uncle Ji told me." Su An said, "But I pretended not to know him, and after saying a few words I wanted to give it a try. He is indeed better than me."
"You are also tough-tempered, but next time Don't do this again." Liu Shiwen said, "You are here to study, not to compete, and you are not here to make Xiao Zhuo angry."
"Yes, madam, I know I was wrong." Su An immediately knelt down. Xia said.
"Get up. Don't kneel down every now and then. Your husband is extraordinary. He is willing to push you over like this because he wants you to become a talent instead of a servant." Liu Shiwen warned.
"Yes, Uncle Ji is very good to me." Su An said.
"Well, just think about it yourself. Xiao Zhuo is not a clingy person. You can just do your own thing and don't have to follow him." Liu Shiwen said.
Su'an was confused for a moment after hearing this, and then nodded.
"Go ahead. Mr. Ji has already sent all your things over. You can arrange it yourself." Liu Shiwen said.
"Yes." Su An breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that he had not been driven away, and then went out to ask Xiao Sui'er, who led him to his room.
While eating, Liu Shiwen told King Yikang about Su'an.
"That Mr. Ji is a figure. It is said that he is one of the candidates for the next island master. Since he dares to push Su'an over like this, he must be a talent." King Yikang also agreed that Su'an should stay.
"You usually pay more attention to him. If it doesn't work, let him go back to Mr. Ji." King Yikang said directly.
"I know, but he has already formed a relationship with Fu Yehu. I'm afraid it will be a little embarrassing when he comes with us." Cui Xiaozhuo said.
"Then it depends on your ability. There are always many things that you can't deal with among the diners. You have to coordinate among them and push things forward." King Yikang said with a smile.
Cui Xiaozhuo nodded thoughtfully.
"Let's eat. After dinner, you pick a few books for Su An to test his level. Take him to see Mr. Wei tomorrow to see if he can pass." Liu Shiwen said.
"Okay!" Cui Xiaozhuo was happy when he heard this. Although he said he didn't want a book boy, he was not unwilling to have a younger brother, especially today, Su An was not afraid of Fu Ye's call, so he could help him hold up the scene.
"Although that guy Fu Yehu is not that powerful in front of me, there is always a scene." After Cui Xiaozhuo finished speaking, he picked a book and went to see Su An.
Su'an has already decorated his room and is burning incense there to worship his parents.
"I'll come back later." Cui Xiaozhuo said.
"No... no need, it's ready." Su An said quickly, his eyes falling on the book Cui Xiaozhuo brought over.
Most of the books on Sufeng Island are craft books, and there are only a few real books, and they are not taken seriously by people.
Su'an felt that he needed to learn both craftsmanship and reading these books in order to understand the real truth.
This time he came here with Mr. Ji to learn these things.
"What books have you read?" Cui Xiaozhuo handed the book to him and asked casually.
Before Su An came, Mr. Ji had mentioned that Cui Xiaozhuo was a great talent far beyond ordinary people and had read many books. Now that he saw Cui Xiaozhuo asking himself, he hurriedly replied.
Chapter 135 A gift for the prince
Cui Xiaozhuo listened to the books Su An mentioned. He mentioned a few words and found that Su An was indeed good at reading, but the number was less.
"You're not bad, but I'm afraid you need to read more to pass Mr. Wei's test." Cui Xiaozhuo saw that he was not a vain person, so he gave some pointers.
When Su An heard Cui Xiaozhuo's words, he looked at Cui Xiaozhuo in shock with wide eyes, truly feeling that there was someone outside the world.
"Watch what I do, just read it." Cui Xiaozhuo said and left.
Soon after he returned to the room, he heard from outside that Prince Furong had come to the door.
"Why did you come here all by yourself?" Cui Xiaozhuo thought it was Fu Yeling who was coming, and Fu Yehu was coming with him, but he didn't expect that it was Fu Yehu who came here.
"Where is your book boy? I injured him today and brought him some medicine." Fu Yehu asked.
"What kind of book boy? That's half a relative of our family who came to study together." Cui Xiaozhuo took the medicine and said, "I'll just ask someone to bring it to him later."
"Not a book boy anymore?" Fu Ye laughed. asked.
"It wasn't originally, it was his misunderstanding." Cui Xiaozhuo said.
"It's not a book boy, what is that? Why did he come to your house?" Fu Yehu asked.
"This has nothing to do with you, Your Highness, right?" How could Cui Xiaozhuo tell Fu Ye everything.
When Fu Yehu heard this, his eyes changed and he said, "Well, I asked more questions."
"It's nothing to ask too much. You will go back in a few days, why bother to make a grudge against him?" ? He is also a fatherless man, so miserable." Cui Xiaozhuo said.
When Fu Yehu heard this, his expression changed and he said, "I never kept any grudges. In your eyes, am I such a petty person?"
Cui Xiaozhuo thought about it seriously, then shook his head and said, "Then No, although you have a bad temper, you are not a stingy person. "
"What does it mean to have a bad temper? Is it your father who has a bad temper?" Fu Yehu thought. !
"Of course you don't think so. It's not like I've never seen you in front of outsiders." Cui Xiaozhuo said.
Fu Yehu nodded and said, "There's nothing I can do. Otherwise, I can't suppress them."
"Understood." Cui Xiaozhuo said, turning around and taking a sandbox from the house and saying, "This is what I made recently. You can take it back with you." Let's play."
"Give it to me?" Fu Yehu didn't expect that he would receive an extra gift without doing anything.
"It was originally meant for you, and Ye Ling is also prepared." Cui Xiaozhuo said: "We all have to live under your Crown Prince Furong, so naturally we have to take care of things."
"You are kidding, we are relying on you . It's over." Fu Ye said dumbfounded.
"Prince, don't belittle yourself like this. I often hear my father say that you will become a powerful emperor in the future." Cui Xiaozhuo took out the gift for Fu Yeling again.
"Let him come and get it by himself. I got it for him. He won't be as happy as you did." Fu Yehu said.
"Why do you say that there is such a difference between you two brothers?" Cui Xiaozhuo put the gift over there. He didn't want Fu Ye to ask Fu Yeling to bring it because he had prepared it for Fu Yeling. It was much better than calling Fu Ye.
It would be a bit embarrassing if he saw it.
After all, Fu Yeling is Cui Xiaozhuo's acknowledged younger brother, not Fu Yehu.
"Master, should we take a rest?"
Fu Yehu started talking to Cui Xiaozhuo again. After a while, a servant outside reminded him, and Fu Yehu realized that it was already very late.
"I didn't expect that when I rarely talk to you like this, I actually forgot the time to say it and delayed your sleep." Fu Yehu realized that Cui Xiaozhuo indeed looked tired, and he still insisted on talking to him.
"It's okay." Cui Xiaozhuo sent Fu Ye out, then closed the door and fell asleep.
The next day Cui Xiaozhuo complained to Liu Shiwen that Fu Yehu probably pretended to be too serious and kept talking when he was caught.
"Nagging like an old woman." Cui Xiaozhuo said.
"Haha, maybe there's no one I can talk to with confidence, so I forgot about the time once I told you." Liu Shiwen said with a smile.
"Next time, don't let him come so late and delay Xiao Zhuo's rest." King Yikang said.
Liu Shiwen also knew that although Xiao Zhuo was still young, Fu Yehu was gradually growing up, and indeed they should not be left alone at night in the future.
After all, the consciousness of people here is different from previous eras.
"Okay, I'm sure he will pay attention to it himself." Liu Shiwen knew that Fu Yehu was not an ungrateful person, so it would be nice if he paid a little more attention.
Besides, Fu Yehu is only thirteen years old this year. He is really a child.
Cui Xiaozhuo also knew that his brother was different from ordinary men. When he heard this, he smiled and didn't say much.
"Master, it's not good. That Su An stayed up all night studying, and now he has fallen asleep."
Xiao Sui'er ran over from outside and said, she went to wake up that Su An, but she didn't expect that Su An actually He couldn't be woken up either dead or alive.
"Oh, why is he like this?" Cui Xiaozhuo said, and asked Liu Shiwen to give Suan some energy-boosting pills.
Su'an himself was also greatly embarrassed.
"Forget it, there's no rush at this moment, you should sober up and clear your head." Cui Xiaozhuo said and asked someone to change Su An into a simple set of clothes before taking him to see Mr. Wei.
Waiting to come back at noon, Cui Xiaozhuo looked a little downcast.
"What? No?" Liu Shiwen asked in surprise.
"It's not that he failed, it's that he has to learn from the beginning. The teacher wants me to teach him more." Cui Xiaozhuo said helplessly, and Su An blushed and couldn't say a word.
"Then just give him some homework every day, and you don't need to keep an eye on it." Liu Shiwen knew that Cui Xiaozhuo usually arranges his time well, and he doesn't like others to disturb his plans.
"That's it." Cui Xiaozhuo felt a lot more energetic when he heard that he could assign homework to others.
"Yes, I will definitely work hard and not embarrass the young master." Su An said hurriedly.
"As long as you know it yourself, go ahead. Don't you still want to tell Mr. Ji about this?" Cui Xiaozhuo said, Su An nodded and went to find Mr. Ji.
After Su An left, Cui Xiaozhuo said to Liu Shiwen with a slightly better expression: "He is actually not bad. He is quite well-educated, but he has read a little less."
"Yes, you can't underestimate him just because of this. , He can read it in such a difficult environment, and he will definitely improve very quickly now that he is here." Liu Shiwen left Su'an to serve as a reflection for Cui Xiaozhuo, allowing him to learn some of Su'an's qualities.
Only if Chen Xiaozhuo goes out like this in the future will he not end up with a high ambition and a low end.
"What Dad is saying is that he is too easy to work hard. He actually studied all night. I don't want to think about whether this will make him even more unconscious?" Cui Xiaozhuo shook his head and said.
"He has just come here, so he is inevitably a little nervous and uncomfortable. He will just wait and adjust." Liu Shiwen said.
"I hope so." After Cui Xiaozhuo said that, he went over to play with his two younger brothers.
The twins were also happy to see him. After the three brothers played for a while, King Yikang came back from outside.
He first asked about the outcome of Su'an's meeting with Mr. Wei, and then mentioned that the trip to Quancheng could be arranged.
Liu Shiwen was a little surprised when he heard this and said, "So fast?"
"If it were slower, I would be afraid that the Chen family would get involved. They have also been very close to Emperor Furong recently." King Yikang said mockingly.
"Speaking of this, they didn't know what they thought of you when you acted weirdly before." Liu Shiwen thought of how King Yikang had captured Liu Shixing and others before, and they looked like zombies in that weird way.
"Resurrection from the dead is unimaginable. In that case, why don't I give them an answer so that they don't have to guess any more." King Yikang said with a faint smile.
Liu Shiwen nodded, thinking that unless one of the three members of his family told the secret of King Yikang's resurrection from the dead, no one else would be able to figure it out.
Why not just rely on the fact that Emperor Furong knew that it was the immortal who saved her life.
"Then tell me your plan in the next few days, and I can arrange for Mr. Ji and others to follow." Liu Shiwen also got the names and lists of the more than 100 people led by Mr. Ji, and confirmed that They are all really good players.
Although there is no golden nameplate, these people are more craftsmanship-oriented, and if they are placed in the workshop, the production capacity and level of the entire workshop will be improved to a certain extent.
Especially when it comes to fish and shrimp in ponds, the people on Sufeng Island are much better than Aunt Liu.
As for Mr. Ji's role, it overlapped a lot with that of Manager Wang. Liu Shiwen asked Manager Wang to do a comprehensive review, and Mr. Ji was first responsible for the trade on the sea route.
Sure enough, the price brought by professional people will be higher. After Liu Shiwen's space was supplemented by this batch, the entire income increased by more than 30%, and it has officially entered a stage of sufficient and stable production, which can open up the real world. The world's market.
"Okay, I'll have someone prepare it in the next few days for you to see, Madam." King Yikang said with a smile. It was really important to talk about Liu Shiwen at the moment.
Without Liu Shiwen to rely on, he wanted to quickly develop Guoquancheng, and then developing his own power would be a very long process, and only Liu Shiwen, who had a large number of high-quality resources, would not be afraid of others in Guoquancheng. make trouble.
Liu Shiwen nodded, and he brought the twins over to play.
King Yikang saw his two sons growing up, with a gentle smile on his face. He said that the Cui family wanted to see the two children again more than once, and wanted to send someone to help. He refused all services.
"Do they want to get involved in this too?" Liu Shiwen asked with a calm expression.
"In their eyes, these two boys are the future of the Cui family. Naturally, they want to take more control and get closer to them, but don't worry, I won't allow it." King Yi Kang said.
"It's good that you know it yourself. I don't need anyone else to interfere with my own child." Liu Shiwen said coldly. He looked more and more upright, but he was extremely good-looking and bright. It becomes even more moving.
King Yikang laughed when he saw it.
Chapter 136 Beauty and Skin Care
"What are you laughing at again?" Liu Shiwen asked, looking sideways at King Yikang.
King Yikang himself shook his head, and even pinched Liu Shiwen's cheek. Liu Shiwen's eyes showed a little confusion.
Often reading medical books and being with the medicinal materials, Liu Shi would inevitably smell a trace of medicinal materials on his body.
But this smell is not pungent, it just gives people an inexplicable sense of stability.
For someone like King Yikang, who had needed medicine for more than 20 years, it made him feel a great sense of stability.
"You are getting more and more impressive now." King Yikang praised Liu Shiwen and said.
"Really? My temper has been a little bad recently." Liu Shiwen thought about how many times he had lost his temper recently.
"How can you say it's temper? It's power." King Yikang sat next to Liu Shiwen and gently put his arm around his shoulders.
Liu Shiwen glanced at King Yikang with a vague look, but said without dodge: "Maybe it's because of his age."
"You are so old this year and you say you are old. I think you are still young." King Yikang He said with a smile.
"No matter how tender-faced I am, I can't stand it. My son is gradually growing up." Liu Shiwen calculated his age. Xiaozhuo is eight years old this year. He is already twenty-seven, and King Yikang is even twenty-nine. .
They are considered pure middle-aged people here, and not many people here can live to seventy.
"Oh, if you grow a few years longer, you will become an old man when the two little ones grow up." Liu Shiwen said and touched King Yikang's face. Looking at his face, he thought of growing up. Liu Shiwen felt inexplicably distressed when he heard the wrinkles.
"What are you talking about? Why did you become an old man?" King Yikang didn't expect it to come to him, so he instinctively denied it.
"Don't worry, I've recently developed something to improve your face. I'll give it to you from time to time when I come back. It's still cool." Although Liu Shiwen said he had spiritual spring water to drink, others didn't. His next step in business It's all about beauty and beauty.
In addition to skin care cream and scar removal cream mixed with spiritual spring water to stimulate the meridians, you can also sell clothes, jewelry and other items.
"This is not bad. If it is really effective, I'm afraid it will be snapped up." King Yikang smiled and looked at Liu Shiwen and said.
"It's just that we should tend to the ladies' side more. It's not easy to cross Quan City. I plan to take these to Furong Imperial City." Liu Shiwen had already checked out the shop there.
Although the land price was expensive, Liu Shiwen couldn't bear the thought that he was a wealthy man, so he bought two shops for the fourth wife, gave her some things, and asked her to help spread the word to her acquaintances.
When the fourth lady saw that Liu Shiwen didn't bargain at all when buying the store, and even gave him a bunch of beauty creams to keep him healthy, she was naturally willing to help him.
After all, she also wanted to be close to this company, because the products here were really good and the people were friendly.
"Oh? You're moving quickly. When will it open?" Although King Yikang was busy, he usually asked about Liu Shiwen's affairs. He didn't expect to accidentally notice that his wife was about to open a business in Furong Imperial City.
"At the end of the new year, please help me and don't let people named Chen ruin my business." Liu Shiwen said.
"Okay, I know. As a husband, let's congratulate my wife on her successful business opening!" After King Yikang said this, he started to make a fool of himself.
On the second day, Liu Shiwen called Mr. Ji over again and asked him to find a few young people with dexterity to learn some simple medical skills.
"Study medical skills?" Mr. Ji was stunned for a moment. When he understood that Liu Shiwen was doing meridian stimulation and beauty treatment, he understood a little more. Originally, noble ladies in this world would also do such things.
But since Liu Shiwen took action, it should be very effective.
This was the first time that the people he brought had received an errand, so they naturally did not dare to neglect it. After a few days, he brought six young people who could still read.
These guys were a little more awkward and nervous than Su'an when they arrived. Fortunately, Liu Shiwen spoke softly and relaxed a lot later on. He just said that he would do whatever the madam asked him to do.
"It also depends on whether you are interested in it, otherwise it will be uncomfortable to do it." Liu Shiwen warned, and then took out a simple method for stimulating the meridians that he had researched, and it also came with some small tools. Over there, "No matter whether you are interested or not, learning is always a craft." Liu Shiwen said that he told them to learn it by themselves, and the best should not be passed on to others.
"I promise not to spread it outside." Those people knew that these things were top secret and responded hurriedly.
"It doesn't matter if you pass it on. Most of it depends on things like beauty cream, and these are very simple things. You still need to learn them slowly later." Liu Shiwen himself is not a fool. You won't teach them everything at once.
"Yes." Several young people on Sufeng Island knew that Mrs. Cui was a talkative but strategic person, and now that they saw her, it was just as rumored.
"Go ahead, you guys have separate places to live, and you can learn from each other together. If you have any problems, send one person to come over and talk to them individually." Liu Shiwen's yard is big enough, so it's okay to arrange for these few.
"Yes." Those people were very excited and happy when they saw that they were also left behind.
After all, Su'an went back once and described the Cui Mansion as if it were a fairyland. Now they can finally be here.
"Go." Liu Shiwen asked Xiao Sui'er to come over and take these guys to live there.
After Xiao Sui'er led the people away, Liu Shiwen watched Mr. Ji talk about opening a shop in Furong Imperial City, and ordered some martial arts ones.
"Yes, I will make arrangements when I get back." Mr. Ji replied and left.
After Liu Shiwen settled these things, he couldn't help but feel nervous and excited.
Other things can be made in ready-made workshops, but now these are all prepared by him and then processed.
He also passed the test and communicated with Master Shengci's famous post. Before adding that he was a semi-professional on these things before wearing the book, he was nervous, but he still had confidence.
"I'm afraid Master Shengci will be angry if he finds out that I have made these things after I have achieved some success in my studies." Liu Shiwen and King Yikang said embarrassedly.
"How come, Master Shengci also likes to study things. You are waiting for the opening. I will bring some to him to check out." King Yikang said with a smile.
"How can it be done?" Although Liu Shiwen did not study medicine with Master Shengci, he still respected him in his heart.
Seeing that he was panicking, King Yikang also smiled and said, "How are the people you taught doing?"
"They're almost done. I'll give you a try when I come back." Liu Shiwen said that this requires more practice. .
But King Yi Kang didn't let anyone else touch him. Only Liu Shiwen tried it on himself a few times. He couldn't tell how his skin was, but he felt really relaxed.
"Sure enough, Madam, you deserve to make money." When King Yi Kang was speaking, Liu Shiwen even smeared the skin care cream on his face.
Cui Xiaozhuo was startled when he came in, thinking that King Yikang had been hurt in the face.
"This is the latest thing your father made. You don't need it as a kid." King Yikang said and went over to wash it. His skin was also very good. There was no big change at all, except that it was smoother than before.
"You are good at what you do. It won't be obvious this time. Take a look at Su An." Liu Shiwen called Su An over.
Su'an has been on Sufeng Island all year round, and his skin has been roughened by the sea breeze, and there are still some red marks.
Now that I have used Liu Shiwen and these things, I have seen significant improvement in less than half a month. However, what makes Su An feel embarrassed is that his wife told him to be careful not to be exposed to the sun every day, and she wanted to make him whiter.
"It's just white. Does it mean that you'll look bad when you're white?" Cui Xiaozhuo was very envious of Su'an being able to use these new things made by his father.
Su'an looked at Cui Xiaozhuo's fair face and didn't know what to say, so he could only nod.
Cui Xiaozhuo saw that he was ignorant, so he thought about getting some help from Fu Yehu. After all, this person was rough enough.
Fu Yehu suddenly received a bunch of things from Cui Xiaozhuo. He was surprised and excited. It was a little funny after he figured it out.
"It turns out that I was asked to be a little white pigeon." Fu Yehu did not tell anyone, but secretly used it himself. He also used this to send several letters to Cui Xiaozhuo to express his feelings about using it.
Cui Xiaozhuo felt greatly relieved when he saw that he was so serious, and got him some food to send over.
Later, Fu Yeling saw that his brother's face was getting better and better, and felt strange in his heart, so he quietly told Cui Xiaozhuo that he suspected that his brother might be secretly applying some makeup.
"I heard that some men look majestic and handsome on the outside, but they love these things in their hearts." Fu Yeling couldn't say that this was bad, but he was just a little worried.
Cui Xiaozhuo laughed wildly after receiving Fu Yeling's letter. He quickly explained and asked Fu Yeling to tell him what his imperial brother had become.
"He doesn't need to tell you, I'll be there in two days." Fu Yehu didn't expect that he would cause such a misunderstanding. He quickly wrote a letter to Cui Xiaozhuo and came two days later.
When he got there, he saw that Su An's face had improved a lot. After asking, he found out that Madam Liu had asked him to use it, not Cui Xiaozhuo.
"Mrs. Liu is indeed very talented." Fu Ye called over and said that after trying these days, even the maids around him were curious about what these were.
"I didn't tell them either," Fu Yehu said.
"I didn't know this. It turns out that Xiao Zhuo wanted it for you, His Royal Highness." Liu Shiwen looked at Fu Yehu. He was originally a man with a tall nose and white skin, but he had joined the army and fought in the past few years and had no time to take care of this. The whole People look a lot rougher.
Now after using these, my skin is smooth and clean, my whole person looks brighter, and I look more like a noble person.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been wronged." Cui Xiaozhuo thought for a moment. This was indeed a bit rude. Although he was very confident in his father's things, he shouldn't ask the prince of a country to do these things. Then he became serious. He saluted Fu Ye.
Chapter 137 Dislike the Palace
"No...it's nothing."
Fu Yehu waved his hands quickly. He didn't think what was wrong with Cui Xiaozhuo. Instead, he felt that this was the first time Cui Xiaozhuo took the initiative to pay attention to him, and he was quite happy in his heart.
"Okay, let's take the prince to see your father." Liu Shiwen smiled, Cui Xiaozhuo nodded and led Fu Yehu towards his father's study.
"I really don't think there's anything rude about this. Next time something like this happens, you can still come to me." Fu Yehu said in the corridor.
"Forget it, you are the Crown Prince. If you get red spots on your face, you will be laughed to death." Cui Xiaozhuo was a little scared after thinking about it.
"You still don't trust your father's stuff?" Fu Ye asked with a smile.
"My dad said that everyone's skin is different. Fortunately, the ones he uses now are relatively mild. If there are some that are more irritating, this is likely to happen." Cui Xiaozhuo said.
"Really?" Fu Yehu didn't want to go to see people with red spots on his face. It was not easy for him to establish some prestige now, so it was better not to be torn apart.
"Dad, His Royal Highness Prince Furong is here." Cui Xiaozhuo knocked on the door, and after a while King Yikang's voice came over.
"Go in." Cui Xiaozhuo said and left quickly.
Fu Yehu stayed in King Yikang's study for another afternoon, and while waiting for the evening, Liu Shiwen stayed with the two brothers for dinner.
The main thing was to talk about his business in Furong Imperial City.
"His Royal Highness will need to take more care of him when the time comes." Liu Shiwen smiled and poured a glass of juice for Fu Yehu.
"It should be." Fu Ye stood up and took the juice, saying that if Liu Shiwen did business, it would increase their taxes, and it was him who thanked Liu Shiwen.
"His Royal Highness is really easy to talk to." Liu Shiwen also laughed when he heard what he said.
Fu Yehu smiled, he knew Liu Shiwen's ability, and what was even more powerful was that he had used these things himself.
If he uses it so well, it will definitely be useful to others. By then, Mrs. Liu doesn't know how much money she will earn, let alone how much tax she will pay.
We need to keep a closer eye on this place when the time comes. Corruption in Furong Court is also quite serious now.
Fu Yehu intended to use these to clean up the court, and he came to see King Yikang today to ask for advice on this aspect.
It's a pity that King Yikang thinks that he is still young and has a lot of fat in taxation. He shouldn't target him so early. If his father senses this, he will be the first to deal with it.
Fu Yehu's heart felt cold for a while when he thought about his father.
"Eat, don't say these serious things while eating." Cui Xiaozhuo said, everyone laughed, and said it in lighter words.
Speaking of Liu Shiwen going to do business in Furong Imperial City in the future, he would inevitably have to go there from time to time, and he could stay with Cui Xiaozhuo then.
"That's good. I can invite you to sit at my place then." Fu Yeling also became excited.
Cui Xiaozhuo said that he didn't like the palace.
"Don't you like the palace?" Fu Yehu suddenly remembered that Cui Xiaozhuo had lived in the Chen family palace before. It was indeed more carefree and comfortable here than in the palace.
"Yes, I don't like it, I really don't like it." After Cui Xiaozhuo finished speaking, he started eating.
After waiting for dinner, King Yikang didn't know where he got the fireworks. He led people to set off the fireworks on a winter night. Several young people from Su'an and Sufeng Island were also called over, and everyone watched together.
Liu Shiwen didn't take the twins out for fear of scaring them. He took a few glances through the window and found it interesting.
King Yikang came over to replace Liu Shiwen and asked him to go out and take a look.
After Liu Shiwen passed by, he saw a group of people having fun. It was not good for him to pass by, so he stood there watching from a distance for a while and then went back.
He returned to the house and saw King Yikang being scratched by his hair and ears by two little guys, and he couldn't help but laugh.
"Both of them are naughty." King Yikang said helplessly.
"You have good bones, and if you have strength, you want to use it." Liu Shiwen hugged him, and King Yikang breathed a sigh of relief.
"How are the arrangements over at Guoquancheng?" Liu Shiwen looked at the winter that was already halfway over, and King Yikang was also very busy recently.
"It's very troublesome, but we are working hard, and it will probably be slower than yours." King Yikang said after calculation.
"Okay, remember to remind me to prepare things in advance. I will also make arrangements for Mr. Ji." Liu Shiwen has been in contact with Mr. Ji a lot and knows that he is a great talent, but he is more interested in developing people's livelihood and improving the lives of the people on his island. Living standards, I don't want to rush into the power struggle.
"Mr. Ji is pretty good, but he refuses to come to my place." King Yikang was a little envious of Liu Shiwen.
"The prince doesn't lack him, right? Manager Wang has a lot more experience than him." Through the space, Liu Shiwen could sense more and more how good Manager Wang was.
"Haha, that's true." King Yikang was no longer humble on behalf of the king.
"Chirp."
While the two were talking, sparrows flew over from outside.
After waiting for a while, King Yikang's people came over and said that there was a group of people outside who wanted to approach here, but when his people passed by, the other party had left quickly.
"Are you from the Chen family?" Liu Shiwen asked.
"I don't know, come back and ask Xiaozhuo." King Yikang was not surprised. Now that Chen knew that he was here, it was clear. But Chen wanted to come over and hurt them, but he didn't have the ability. .
"Dad."
Cui Xiaozhuo came over after a while with a strange look on his face, holding a hand-carved sparrow in his hand.
When Liu Shiwen saw the sparrow, his heart jumped a few times.
The matter of Cui Xiaozhuo's sparrow is very involved.
"Yes... my master Shu Ning'an brought people here and left this thing." Cui Xiaozhuo said and handed over the sparrow.
"So it's him, no wonder he can run so fast." King Yikang said mockingly, then reached out and pressed a few times to open the sparrow.
There is a small gold ingot inside the sparrow. There is a gem hidden in the gold ingot, which looks very precious.
"Keep it." King Yikang said.
Liu Shiwen came over to take a look. He wasn't too worried about Shu Ning'an, but the origin of this thing was unusual, and Queen Shu's poison-healing hand was over there, so he still had to pay more attention.
When Cui Xiaozhuo saw Liu Shiwen put the thing away, he didn't argue about anything. Now that he is older, he knows that everything needs to be careful.
Liu Shiwen collected all those things, washed them and dried them before giving them to Cui Xiaozhuo.
Cui Xiaozhuo said that his master didn't know when he discovered something was wrong with the sparrows.
"Who knows, but there's nothing they can do if they find out. With so many sparrows in the world, how can they catch them all one by one?" Liu Shiwen said.
Cui Xiaozhuo nodded and sighed again before going to the school.
"Do you want to tell him that his master is married and has a child?" King Yikang looked at Liu Shiwen and asked.
"What does it have to do with his master getting married and having children? You don't have to say anything." Liu Shiwen glared at King Yikang and said.
King Yikang immediately laughed. He used to regard Shu Ning'an as a semi-love rival. Now that he knew that Shu Ning'an had a child, he felt much more relaxed.
Of course, he knew that Liu Shiwen had never had any special feelings for Shu Ning'an, so he didn't dare to mention Shu Ning'an all the time, but it seemed that he was too petty.
"Go and do your business. After he showed up, I don't know how Chen's side would react." Liu Shiwen felt a little irritable.
Everything else is easy to talk about, but if Chen sends Shu Ning'an, they will encounter some trouble.
After all, Shu Ning'an is not an ordinary person.
"Don't worry, since he gave Xiaozhuo these things, it means he won't come here recently." King Yikang seemed very relieved.
In this way, until the end of the year, there was no movement from Chen's people.
However, Liu Shiwen's shop was almost ready, and he was ready to open it after rubbing his hands.
Because Liu Shiwen had distributed some to the Fourth Madam before, and the Fourth Madam was considered a well-known person in the imperial city, so she started using them after just a few words.
Or is the stuff Liu Shi smells good enough, and once you use it, people will know whether it is good or bad? For this reason, those ladies and ladies went to the fourth lady's house countless times.
The fourth lady almost offended someone because of this, so she could only urge Liu Shiwen to open the door earlier.
When Liu Shiwen heard about this, he took Cui Xiaozhuo to Furong Imperial City.
Although the Furong Kingdom is not as big as the Chen Kingdom and the Hengran Kingdom, it is still a country with a history, and there are many wealthy people in the imperial city.
Liu Shiwen sent out some famous posts there and quietly held two parties there.
Everyone present was given something to give away, not to mention the rouge pollen, even the tea snacks and juices were very popular.
Those present felt like they were country bumpkins and everything was new.
The fourth lady became much calmer after waiting. She talked about Liu Shiwen's shop in Xuancui Town, which had a juice and dried meat shop, and even a hot spring restaurant that had health pots for eating.
Not many people in Furong Imperial City know this, and even fewer of these ladies and ladies who live in the backyard know.
Now that I heard it, I couldn't wait to go over and take a look.
"Please be patient, these things will be opened in the imperial city." Liu Shiwen asked people to turn their attention to today's beauty and skin care.
Although the rouge gouache is good, there are many good ones here, and the competitiveness is not that outstanding.
Liu Shiwen was more concerned about beauty and skin care, so he asked his people to give these ladies a thumbs up on the spot.
After these ladies and ladies experienced it, they only felt comfortable. More importantly, their cheeks were lifted up a little more, and their faces tightened a little. , "Use these things from our house." Liu Shiwen said from the side, and the person next to him took the skin care cream and applied it gently.
People on Sufeng Island don't wear much make-up. The ones we brought here today are from King Yikang. The Cui family is from the royal family, so naturally they are the best in make-up, hair and clothing.
Now that I applied skin care products and powder, the effect was immediately visible, and for a while the whole room was filled with whispers and laughter.
Liu Shiwen also invited the piano master Sile to come over and perform some music. The whole party was elegant and perfect.
After the two parties, Liu Shiwen's high-rise skin care store officially opened. Because there were so many people, Liu Shiwen even had to ask people to enter in the order in which the name cards were handed in.
On the contrary, the more this happened, the faster the reputation of his skin care shop spread. Throughout the New Year, almost everyone was talking about the shop opened by Liu Wenxin in the Imperial City. Even the Queen of Furong City sent someone to pick up some skin care products. .
Chapter 138 Two Million Liang
The new queen of Furong Kingdom is considered the mortal enemy of Fu Yehu's brothers.
But regarding the matter of buying things, Fu Yehu didn't care so much about whether Liu Shiwen would sell it to the queen or something.
After all, Liu Shiwen was here to do business, and it would be troublesome to offend the queen.
"The new queen buys skin care, maybe she wants to regain favor? She seems to be getting closer to the Chen family recently." King Yi Kang said to Liu Shiwen.
"Really? Didn't the new queen say she has no children?" Liu Shiwen could understand the new queen's thoughts. She probably saw Emperor Furong obsessed with alchemy and thought about getting a child anyway.
"We can't let her succeed." King Yikang said and arranged for someone to disrupt the situation.
Soon there was news from the Furong Palace that the new queen was possessed by a fox demon and intended to destroy His Majesty's way of cultivation. Now she was sent to Ronghua to be locked up in the harem to rest and cultivate herself.
Fu Yehu didn't expect King Yikang to solve the new queen's situation so easily.
The new queen had made things difficult and poisoned their brothers for so many years, so they were imprisoned in the harem.
Fu Yehu and the two of them were also greatly relieved, but they were also shocked by how much the new Emperor Furong respected King Yikang now.
If King Yikang wanted to disturb the Furong court, he would probably be able to do so.
"I don't have this idea. Judging from the current situation, the more stable Furong Country is, the better it is for me." King Yikang said straightforwardly.
But these words still made Fu Yehu vigilant. He couldn't help but think about what would happen if this develops in the future? Will King Yikang take action against Furong Kingdom?
"Big trouble." Fu Yehu couldn't help but feel chills in his heart when he thought of this.
King Yikang's methods become more terrifying the closer he gets, and so far Fu Yehu doesn't think he can fight against King Yikang at all.
Regarding this matter, Fu Yehu's advisers also thought so.
"So the current plan is to try not to offend him and help him return to Chen Kingdom as much as possible." This is the idea of ââthe Minister of Furong Kingdom.
Fu Yehu thought that if this was the case, Chen wouldn't know what to do.
"Brother Emperor, do you still have such kindness as a woman? Then the Chen family and the Cui family are all thinking of us as pawns. I am still more willing to get close to the Cui family than the Chen family. "Fu Yeling doesn't have such strong feelings for Chen.
"I think so too, but I can't afford to offend the Chen family." Fu Yehu actually had a very difficult life.
After the new queen failed, Fu Yehu wrote a special letter to ask Chen Guangheng, the emperor of the Chen family, for advice. In the end, the Chen family actually sent two beautiful female Taoist priests.
This time the Emperor of Furong Kingdom accepted it.
"That's all, let the Cui family fight with the Chen family." Fu Yehu couldn't bear it and said that he didn't care about the Emperor of Furong Kingdom.
King Yikang heard that the Chen family had sent two beautiful Taoist nuns there, so he sent them some unorthodox cultivation books.
The book looked strange and somewhat serious, and Liu Shiwen exclaimed repeatedly when he read it.
"Don't look at these." King Yikang was embarrassed to be such a bad person.
Liu Shiwen also looked sideways at King Yikang for a long time.
"Hey, don't look at me like this, I'm not that kind of person." King Yikang said quickly and seriously.
Liu Shiwen smiled, and King Yikang coughed and leaned over to watch Liu Shiwen settle the accounts.
"Shall I help you, madam? This way you can have more time." King Yikang said flatteringly.
"When will it be empty?" Liu Shiwen said and handed the account to King Yikang.
King Yikang calculated quickly, was serious and serious, and Liu Shiwen watched with admiration.
"Can I be admired by you even if I am an accountant?" King Yikang said in a dumbfounded voice, "It seems that I have to be an accountant."
Liu Shiwen himself also laughed there.
King Yikang glanced at him, pulled him over, and talked to him about the accounts in detail.
Liu Shiwen's shop in Furong City was very popular as soon as it opened. It was so popular that some people came from Furong Imperial City to Xuancui Town to buy dried meat and eat and stay at the hot spring restaurant.
"Just let me follow you, madam." King Yikang looked at the amount of money and felt that making money was too easy for his wife.
King Yikang calculated that if things continued like this, his wife's battlefield would not only be in the Chen Kingdom, but might really develop to all over the country.
Instead, he had to clumsily spend all his time and energy for one Chen Guo.
"Okay, I can support you." Liu Shiwen put on a domineering look, which made King Yikang like him very much and called him cute.
"Whatever is cute, stop making trouble there and calculate it for me as soon as possible." Liu Shiwen knew that he had made a lot of money this time, but he had not calculated how much it was.
After King Yikang calculated it for him for almost an hour, he finally came up with a rough figure. Liu Shiwen had made three hundred thousand taels of silver in Furong Imperial City alone within one month of opening his business in Furong Imperial City!
"So many?" Liu Shiwen was shocked.
"But the people here probably won't be able to use up the things they bought next month, so it just looks scary this month." King Yi Kang added.
Liu Shiwen thought about it for a moment and realized that he had indeed given enough. Those people who bought so much would probably have to use at least half of it before coming back to buy again.
"Then open some cheaper ones and sell them to the public." Liu Shiwen's cost here is very low, so he can make a good profit from any purchase.
"Okay, it's better to rely on quantity to make profits." King Yikang said and asked Liu Shiwenteng to give him a batch.
"You want to sell too?" Liu Shiwen asked in surprise.
"It's not to sell, it's to help you occupy space. Waiting for you to come up with these things here, others must learn from it. I'll occupy the space over there for you first." King Yikang explained.
Liu Shiwen nodded and gave some to King Yikang.
But the quantity of goods was not large, and he had prepared a lot and sold them all at once. There was a gap in the production of the space. In the meantime, King Yikang and Cui Xiaozhuo accelerated a little before they managed to balance it.
King Yikang brought these to Chen State, and they quickly became popular.
When the royal family of the Chen Kingdom saw that King Yikang was so bold and dared to do business and make money here, they were so angry that they went over to arrest King Yikang's people.
But after King Yikang returned, the entire south seemed to quickly unite again.
They pretended to be peaceful and submissive, but secretly they did a lot of rebellious things.
Although the Chen family has controlled the Chen Kingdom for three generations, the Cui family has also developed in the south for three generations. The Cui family originally gained power from the south.
They are more in line with the ideas of the southern aristocratic family than the Chen family.
Now that King Yikang has come back to life, it is really an exciting thing for the Chen family in the south.
Although King Yikang was a terrifying existence at the beginning, his existence helped the aristocratic families in the south resist the oppression of the Chen family.
It's not like once King Yikang disappeared, the Chen family showed their greedy minions and came over unscrupulously to steal the wealth accumulated by the southern family.
These aristocratic families naturally knew that the Cui family was gone and they had to show their loyalty to the Chen family, but what they didn't expect was that the Chen family came over to grab her before they even started to show their loyalty. It was really shameful.
Now King Yi Kang has made a comeback, and he keeps giving people exciting things, but his methods are still so superb that they make people sleep.
However, the aristocratic families did not immediately decide to support King Yikang. After all, the Cui family was destroyed so cleanly that these aristocratic families still had great doubts about King Yikang's ability to rise.
But this does not mean that the Chen family can come over and search the place with great enthusiasm after hearing that King Yikang is running a small business here to sell some things. The dignity of the southern family seems to be non-existent in front of the Chen family.
King Yikang quickly scattered the goods in his hand and left.
Not long after he left, everyone began to taste the goodness of these things. After they investigated, they found out that this thing actually came from Liu Shiwen, the current wife of King Yi Kang!
The story of Liu Shiwen and Prince Yikang having a son was also spread in the south, and everyone loved these stories.
But later I heard that the male concubine and the child were gone, and I didn't expect that they were still alive now, and even pulled out so many tricks.
"It is said that they have started doing business in Furong Kingdom. The entire Furong Imperial City is vying to buy their things!"
The news spread quickly to the aristocratic families of Chen Kingdom, and Liu Shiwen's goods became even more It's in demand.
Now there is no need for King Yikang to go over. Businessmen from the Chen Kingdom will naturally come over to snap up the things in Liu Shiwen's shop, not only skin care and beauty products, but also dried meat, embroidered porcelain and other things.
Because of King Yikang's troubles, the price of Liu Shiwen's goods has increased overall. Now Liu Shiwen will not sell anything in space at all, and sells everything outside.
His space is full of aura and nourished by the spiritual spring water, which is of unparalleled quality.
Not to mention that he still has so many aura blessings, and the production cycle of the entire workshop is constantly accelerating. In just half a year, Liu Shiwen's total wealth has accumulated to two million taels of silver.
"Here, take it." Liu Shiwen approved a large sum of money and gave it to King Yikang to take him to develop Quancheng.
Now Liu Shiwen also plans to simply build a commercial area of ââhis own in Guoquan City, so that after he becomes famous, it will be convenient for people from all over the world to come and buy his own things.
Therefore, his attitude toward King Yikang's development of Guoquancheng was much more positive than before.
King Yikang didn't take Liu Shiwen's money in vain, he signed a contract.
"This is not a contract between you and me, but a previous contract between the Cui family and you. This has been approved by all the Cui family. If you can't repay it in the future, I will use the title of marquis to mortgage it to you." King Yikang said.
"This is not bad." Liu Shiwen thought that this way he could develop his own power more. He didn't want to just stay by King Yikang's side as a harem queen.
"Then I'll go over there. You should be careful with your children at home." If King Yikang wants to develop Guoquancheng, he can't just command remotely. Guoquancheng is the first stronghold of his momentum, so he can't make any mistakes.
Not to mention that this was done with his wife's money. If something went wrong, the family's status would plummet in the future.
So King Yikang decided to go to Guoquancheng to personally lay out the overall development situation!
Chapter 139 Everyone relies on Liu Wenyi.
King Kang left home and went to Quancheng in the early summer.
I originally said I would come back in a month, but when I got to Guoquancheng, I was overwhelmed by all kinds of things and had no chance to come back.
Fortunately, there is a swimming pool where you can stay and communicate with your children and wife.
Liu Shiwen knew that Guoquan City was almost a semi-abandoned city, and the cultivated land area was too small. Sometimes the food in the city had to be purchased from other places.
Because it is close to the sea, I can barely get some fish and shrimp to sell, but Furong Kingdom does not have a strong hobby for fish and shrimp, and the boats and fishing technology in Quan City are not that powerful, so the things I get can't be sold well. Price.
King Yikang brought a large amount of food there. He originally thought it was almost enough, but when he got there, he found that the gap was really too big.
"If this is really the case, is there still investment value in Quancheng?" Liu Shiwen asked doubtfully.
"Yes, their location is good, as long as they develop well." King Yikang chatted with Liu Shiwen in the swimming pool in his mermaid form.
Liu Shiwen looked at him pitifully and asked someone to load a batch of food over.
After King Yikang received the batch of grain, he was moved and wrote a long letter to Liu Shiwen.
Liu Shiwen looked at it for a long time, his face turned red, but his smile did not fall.
"Let me take a look." Cui Xiaozhuo also wanted to take a look.
"Your father has written another letter for you. You can go and see it." Liu Shiwen handed him the letter written by King Yikang to Cui Xiaozhuo. Cui Xiaozhuo read it for a long time.
While waiting for the next day, he clamored to go to Quancheng to see the world.
"Well, I won't leave now." Liu Shiwen was still worried, and finally forced Cui Xiaozhuo to stay at home.
This year's summer is not that hot, so Liu Shiwen opened his cold drink and juice shop in Furong Imperial City without any haste.
Although they all contain ice cubes and fruits, the taste cannot match those at Liu Shiwen's house.
"Maybe it's because our family uses fresh milk." Liu Shiwen couldn't say that the quality of his own water and fruits was hard for others to match.
After he said this, everyone thought he had a secret recipe. There were also people nearby who wanted to open a shop to compete with him for business. Liu Shiwen did not engage in any price reductions. He just continued to sell high-priced juices, some of which were expensive. It costs hundreds of taels at a time.
"It's expensive, but the fruits and materials we use are things you can't find now." Liu Shiwen still has this confidence.
After he opened the beauty shop, he also analyzed the purchasing power of Furong Imperial City and other customers. Knowing that they could fully afford it, he boldly launched various luxurious drinks.
He even made a batch of fruit wine and put it in a huge crystal bottle, which looked good.
In the middle, some people even wanted to buy the crystal bottle as well.
Liu Shiwen politely declined.
"Dad, let me tell you, Fu Yehu also secretly bought fruit wine to drink." Cui Xiaozhuo himself came over to report Fu Yehu's condition.
"He started drinking at such a young age?" Liu Shiwen knew that Fu Yehu could drink here at his age, but he knew that drinking at a young age would always be bad for your health.
"I have already told him that you must be over 18 or 20 before you can drink it, otherwise you will become a fool in the future. He said he was just curious to taste it," Cui Xiaozhuo said.
"Then you should be more careful." After hearing what Cui Xiaozhuo said, Liu Shiwen asked someone to put up a sign saying that alcohol was not sold to customers under the age of twenty, and it was not recommended for these people to drink.
When people in the Imperial City saw it, they all said that the rules of the Liu Family Fruit Drink Shop were getting more and more difficult because of their good work.
For these stores, they only say that they are taking care of customers' health and have no other meaning.
Although this move was a bit confusing, the store still insisted on implementing it.
Because there are still people who deliberately come to cause trouble, insisting that Liu Shiwen's shop sells to them, and showing his identity, he is a person of some importance.
But he was soon persuaded to leave by the people of Prince Furong.
"I want to thank Prince Furong when I come back." Liu Shiwen asked someone to send fruits, vegetables and the store's signature drinks. He also gave Prince Furong several jade cards with different discounts. Just take these. He enjoyed different treatments and even linked up with his beauty shop.
Prince Furong could use these as a favor.
Those in the aristocratic circles soon knew that such a thing existed, and naturally they wanted it too. After all, status symbols and other things were very important here.
When I asked about it in the store, the junior clerk naturally didn't know. It was the store manager at the back who came out and explained it, saying that you can get different brands after purchasing a certain level.
But because these can be stacked permanently, there is no need to be so anxious to get them.
But how could those nobles listen? Soon many people got different jade tokens, but Prince Furong found that the jade tokens he got were obviously more advanced. So far, no one seems to be able to get them. arrive.
He himself also told those people not to spread the news, for fear of ruining Liu Shiwen's arrangements.
When Liu Shiwen heard this, he praised Prince Furong a few more times.
Cui Xiaozhuo was teaching Su An how to read. He heard Fu Ye calling and sent Liu Shiwen a letter and came over.
"Why has he been writing here from time to time lately?" Cui Xiaozhuo asked.
"Maybe Prince Furong is short of money and wants to ask me how to make money." Liu Shiwen knew that although Emperor Furong was obsessed with alchemy now, the financial power was still in his hands.
Fu Yehu wants to cultivate his own power to win over people's hearts, and financial investment is indispensable.
"Him? He doesn't seem to have any business acumen." Cui Xiaozhuo shook his head and said.
"I asked him to ask your father. Your father has a lot of arrangements over there. I'll wait until your father says something and then I'll see how to help him." Although Liu Shiwen also pitied Fu Yehu, but he I know more clearly that these matters involve many things, so I have to ask King Yikang before talking about it.
The letter from King Yikang was very simple. He just said that he should ignore it and that he needed to embarrass Fu Yehu.
"Okay." Liu Shiwen pretended not to understand Fu Yehu's letter and gave him a rough explanation.
After Fu Yehu received the reply, he probably understood. Another letter came asking how Cui Xiaozhuo has been reading recently.
"It's okay." The more Cui Xiaozhuo read, the more he was able to show his amazing wisdom. He wrote a reply to Fu Ye and included the article he had recently written.
Fu Yehu selected some great bachelors from the court who asked him questions, and the great bachelors also praised them repeatedly.
"Xiao Zhuo is so good at reading." Fu Yeling sighed after looking at it.
"You should also study more and don't lose to him." Fu Yehu said.
Fu Yeling twitched his lips when he heard this. He could still say that he would not admit defeat to others, but when facing Cui Xiaozhuo, he really wished he had two heads.
Fu Yehu saw his little brother's dejected look, smiled and touched his head, then went about his business.
Fu Yehu's life was difficult, but there were ministers surrounding him who truly treated him as his future master, which was much better than before.
Fu Yehu himself knew that he was also working hard to learn and learn as much as possible from Mr. and Mrs. Wang Yikang.
Currently, what he envies most is Liu Shiwen's ability to make money.
He felt as if all the money in Furong Imperial City had been taken away by this lady, and the ministers below also expressed such worries.
But when the Minister of Taxation was called to ask, Liu's shop alone paid a lot of tax money. What's even more powerful is that Liu's shop also promoted other economic development. In the past year, people who came to Furong Imperial City The number of businessmen has also increased a lot.
This also greatly increased the income of Furong Imperial City.
"If the Liu family's business is really blocked as those adults said, the business caused by these people because of his shop will disappear. Your Highness, this is absolutely unacceptable." The personal minister hurriedly warned.
After seeing this, Fu Yehu understood more and more the importance of Mrs. Liu, so he took Fu Yeling to visit during the holidays.
Cui Xiaozhuo was a little frightened when he saw Fu Yehu's movements.
There are even rumors outside that His Royal Highness is interested in Cui Changqi, the elder brother of the Cui family.
"What are you talking about? Tell those people not to say that." Liu Shiwen did not limit Xiaozhuo's future development. It was better to let him grow up naturally.
He didn't pay attention to those words outside.
Regarding Fu Yehu's visit, Liu Shiwen explained to Cui Xiaozhuo that his shop was like a small whirlpool, driving the economic development of Furong Imperial City. Prince Furong would understand it once he saw the accounts.
"I see. It seems that dad is the most powerful. People on both sides need to rely on dad." Cui Xiaozhuo also knew that the people in Guoquancheng were also pointing to his dad's business.
"Are you interested?" Liu Shiwen gave Cui Xiaozhuo a small shop and asked him to try to run it by himself.
Similarly, he can use the products in the space, but he can't use Liu Wen's banner, so he can only make it himself.
"Okay." Cui Xiaozhuo was still very excited at first, but he gradually realized that there were too many twists and turns here.
However, a lot of problems arose within two days.
Liu Shiwen asked the business people from the outer courtyard to explain to Cui Xiaozhuo.
Cui Xiaozhuo said that it was much more difficult than studying. He had never handled that much money, and he had to spend the whole day settling accounts.
"It's fine as long as you don't lose too much if you do it for the first time." After Liu Shiwen said this, Cui Xiaozhuo relaxed a lot. He originally wanted to do the same thing as his father's shop.
After all, he was praised for growing up, but it was different when he got started. Even though he was smart, there were too many things that he needed to do business.
Cui Xiaozhuo's small shop took almost a year of hard work before it reluctantly started to make money.
Chapter 140 Master and Disciple
"How much have you earned?"
Fu Yehu is getting poorer and poorer now. Hearing that Cui Xiaozhuo has started to make money, he is extremely envious.
Cui Xiaozhuo came to Furong Imperial City and invited Prince Furong to dinner in his shop.
"Three thousand taels," Cui Xiaozhuo sighed after finishing speaking.
"You...your little shop has made so much money?" Fu Yehu stood up when he heard it.
"Keep your voice down. If you let the people next to you hear me, you'll think I'm worthless." Cui Xiaozhuo said speechlessly.
Fu Yehu hurriedly sat down and lowered his voice and said: "But your place is so small that it's hard to turn around, but you can make three thousand taels. Do you know how much effort I put in to earn so much from my shop?"
When Cui Xiaozhuo saw Fu Yehu like this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "The most important thing is that our products are good, otherwise I wouldn't be able to make money."
Fu Yehu felt a little calmer when he heard what he said.
"I've become more and more aware of how difficult it is to make money recently, so I'm so excited. It's a joke to you." After Fu Yehu became the crown prince, he had less and less property in his hands. He spent all day just to make money. Maintaining a balance of payments and scratching one's head.
"You haven't become the emperor yet? You'll be fine when you become the emperor." Cui Xiaozhuo smiled and patted Fu Yehu.
Fu Yehu shook his head with a wry smile and said, "You have to worry about these things even if you become an emperor, and the pressure will be even greater. Otherwise, my father would not be like this."
"Really? It seems that being an emperor is really important. It's nothing good." Cui Xiaozhuo said.
"There are also good ones. Anyway, everyone thinks it is good to be the emperor." Fu Yehu added.
"You think so too?" Cui Xiaozhuo asked.
Fu Yehu was stunned for a moment. He looked at Cui Xiaozhuo and nodded with a smile.
"Okay." Cui Xiaozhuo said a few more words to Fu Yehu. When he was about to get up, he heard a noise coming from outside.
"Your Highness, someone is coming outside and says he is your master. He is coming in a menacing manner. Our people can't do anything to him." Fu Yehu's people ran over in a panic and said.
"Master?" Fu Yehu glanced at Cui Xiaozhuo.
Cui Xiaozhuo immediately thought of Shu Ning'an, and he was about to stand up in excitement.
"Don't move, I'll go out and take a look." Fu Yehu said and walked out. Cui Xiaozhuo controlled his sparrow and watched outside.
He had noticed it when Shu Ning'an came, but he couldn't remind him anything in front of Fu Yehu.
And he felt that Shu Ning'an would not hurt them.
Sure enough, Fu Ye turned around after a while and said that Shu Ning'an was entrusted by Emperor Chen to come here to do something and wanted to meet Cui Xiaozhuo.
"Okay." Cui Xiaozhuo said and walked out.
When he went out, Fu Yehu stood close to him and asked him not to move around.
Cui Xiaozhuo knew that Shu Ning'an came alone, but talking from a distance would not do much, and there were experts arranged by King Yikang around him.
"You...are Xiaozhuo?" Shu Ningan couldn't recognize Cui Xiaozhuo when he saw him again.
When Cui Xiaozhuo followed him, he was still a little guy with some baby fat. Now he still looks like a teenager, with a thin figure, a bright and fair face, and some strangeness in his eyes.
"Master." Cui Xiaozhuo cupped his fists and shouted.
When Shu Ning'an heard this voice, he slowly recalled something, and with a smile on his face, he said, "You have grown so big in a blink of an eye."
"I couldn't see the master in advance because of some things, please. Master, forgive me." Cui Xiaozhuo said politely, and then asked someone to prepare some things from his store for Shu Ning'an.
Shu Ning'an was stunned for a moment. He knew that Liu Shiwen was doing very well in business here, but Cui Xiaozhuo was like this...
"My father asked me to try to open a shop by myself. This is what I sell in my shop. Cui Xiaozhuo said.
Shu Ning'an looked at the things in his hands, then looked at Cui Xiaozhuo, and asked, "Are you nine or ten this year?"
"Nine years old, master." Cui Xiaozhuo said again.
"Have you opened a shop here since you were nine?" Shu Ning'an was also a little confused.
When Fu Yehu saw Shu Ning'an like this, he also laughed in his heart. No matter how much Cui Xiaozhuo said that he used the good products given by Liu Shiwen, it was really a big deal to be fully responsible for the profit and loss of a shop in the imperial city. Not an easy thing.
Cui Xiaozhuo completely accomplished it when he was nine years old.
"Master, we still have things to do, so let's leave here first." Fu Yehu was also afraid that King Yikang's people would attack Shu Ning'an.
Shu Ning'an glanced at Cui Xiaozhuo, as if he wanted to ask something.
"I am also practicing the boxing skills taught by the master. Why don't I give him a set on the spot and see." Cui Xiaozhuo said clearly, then asked people to stand aside and started practicing.
When Shu Ning'an was good at something, his eyes became much brighter.
After he had seen it, he looked at Cui Xiaozhuo blankly and said, "Originally, I was worried that you would not be doing well, but now that I see you, it is far beyond my imagination."
"I study more, and I am still good at practicing martial arts . It's not as good as His Royal Highness," Cui Xiaozhuo said.
Fu Yehu was about to be humble, but Shu Ning'an said before him: "He is naturally different from you. He has gained through brute force."
Fu Yehu looked at Shu Ning'an strangely.
Shu Ning'an didn't care about Fu Yehu's eyes. He looked at Cui Xiaozhuo. Cui Xiaozhuo was wearing an elegant and simple robe. He was as handsome as a handful of onions. What was even more surprising was that his temperament was as clear as his. 's eyes.
Shu Ning'an looked at Cui Xiaozhuo again and again, not knowing what to say for a moment, and he couldn't take out the money and other things he had prepared.
In the end, he could only nodded and left with Fu Yehu.
After Shu Ning'an left, King Yikang and Liu Shiwen's people gathered around.
"Nothing, let's go find my dad." Cui Xiaozhuo was surrounded by people and formed a convoy to go find Liu Shiwen.
When Shu Ning'an passed by, Liu Shiwen received news that Shu Ning'an had arrived.
He got up and came this way.
After Shu Ningan left, Liu Shiwen showed up to pick up Cui Xiaozhuo.
"It's okay, master just came to see me." Cui Xiaozhuo said.
"But you can't let go of your vigilance against him. Your master has too many ties with Chen State. If he is forced to attack you, you also need to be on guard." Liu Shiwen warned.
"I remember dad." Cui Xiaozhuo then asked what happened if Shu Ning'an came to see Fu Yehu at this time.
"It's probably because of the fight for the throne. I heard that Hengran has other thoughts about Furong Kingdom recently. Chen Guo probably wants to take advantage of this moment to put pressure on Furong Kingdom." Liu Shiwen said with a sigh.
"Ah? Are we going to fight again?" Cui Xiaozhuo frowned when he heard this.
"We may not be able to fight, but maybe Chen Guo can no longer tolerate Furong Country getting better a little bit, and coming so close to us." Liu Shiwen said.
Cui Xiaozhuo pondered for a while and said, "In the end, it fell on Mr. Chen."
"Yes, the business here has been busy for a long time. Mrs. Chen is naturally not willing to see us live a better life." Liu Shiwen said with Cui Xiaozhuo set off back toward Xuancui Town.
In the middle, they encountered a group of people who came to besiege them.
Liu Shiwen also had twins with him.
Cui Xiaozhuo looked very ugly, but fortunately his sparrow was there to warn him in advance.
The people in the convoy were all experts, and they easily bypassed the siege. When they went to fight back, those people left quickly.
After returning home, they heard that Liu Shiwen and his son had been attacked. People in the yard were shocked and quickly advised Liu Shiwen not to go out recently.
"This is their purpose!" Cui Xiaozhuo remembered that Chen loved to use this trick when he was a child, forcing people to be unable to move, and now it's the same!
"Don't worry, they don't dare to come over, just live as usual." Although Liu Shiwen said this, he quickly communicated the news to King Yikang.
After King Yikang found out, he also asked Liu Shiwen not to go to the imperial city recently. He would go home in the next few days.
After waiting for King Yikang to come back, he said that the Chen family might take action against Emperor Furong and force the young Prince Furong Fu Yehu to take the throne.
"You think Emperor Furong is difficult to control and you plan to control the younger Fu Yehu?" Liu Shiwen reacted quickly.
"Yes, the two Taoist nuns who sent him before were fortunate enough to be prepared in advance and rescued Emperor Furong, but now he was also poisoned." King Yikang said.
"Poisoned?" Liu Shiwen asked about the symptoms and gave King Yikang a detoxifying pill.
"I've let him eat it, but the poison is too severe, so I can only save his life. It's his fault for trusting the two Taoist nuns too much." King Yikang said with a bad look.
"Then what's the situation now? He can no longer be emperor?" Liu Shiwen asked.
King Yikang chuckled lightly and said, "That's good. Fu Yehu's promotion is something that everyone wants to see."
After hearing this, Liu Shiwen looked out the window and said with some sigh: "I didn't expect that, he It's so early to ascend the throne and become emperor."
"It's okay to be fourteen this year, and I can get a wife in another two years," said King Yikang.
"But I want to be the emperor, and I am being watched by you and Chen." Thinking about it, Liu Shiwen felt that Fu Yehu's life was not easy.
"Why is he being stared at? I'm the one who wants to help him, okay? We both help each other. It's not like Chen just wants to use them to fight against Hengran, and also wants to turn Furong into his own puppet." Land." King Yikang said disdainfully.
"Then if you become emperor in the future, how will you treat Furong Kingdom?" Liu Shiwen asked with a smile.
"Then I won't be like Mr. Chen. If I don't develop myself well, I just want to devour others to strengthen myself. Even if this kind of stall spreads, I won't be able to take care of it. Sooner or later, I will be beaten all over the ground. Teeth." King Yikang said mockingly.
"You told Prince Furong this too? No wonder he believes in you so much." Liu Shiwen said.
King Yikang glanced at Liu Shiwen, and said with a wry smile: "There is no way, now we are the weakest, so we can only bow our heads."
Liu Shiwen looked at King Yikang saying such straightforward words, and felt that It hurts but is funny at the same time. Even King Kang, who is as proud as Yi Kang, has to bow his head in front of reality.
"Dad, Fu Yeling sent a letter saying that Fu Yehu has become the emperor and wants to invite us to attend the enthronement ceremony."
Three months after King Yikang and Liu Shiwen discussed the situation, Cui Xiaozhuo came over with his name card and said: Yehu became the emperor and wanted to invite them to attend the enthronement ceremony.
"No, dad is too busy. We have to pack up and move to Guoquancheng recently." Liu Shiwen said through the window.
