Qin Shi Luo Net People

Chapter 518 Teaching Widows to Count
After leaving the Lama Temple, Luo Yan went to Concubine Yan's side, had a warm lunch with Concubine Yan, and then got up and left after a ruthless chat.

As for the reason, it is naturally busy with government affairs.

This has become a standard excuse for Mr. Luo, a man who has tried everything.

Which woman can refuse her man's progress?

Naturally, Concubine Yan didn't ask any more questions, she helped Luo Yan tidy up her clothes very considerately, sent Luo Yan to the gate of the palace, and watched Luo Yan, an unscrupulous husband, go away until there was no one in sight...

. . . . . . . . . .

On the other side, just as Luo Yan walked out of Xianyang Palace and got into the carriage, the carriage was stopped before he had gone far.

Luo Yan was also slightly taken aback, and then he reached out and knocked on the carriage, asking what happened to Tianze. With his current status, he was domineering like a crab in Xianyang City, at least no one dared to stop his car at will.

"what's up?"

"It's the entourage of Li Yuan from the state of Chu, who came to deliver the invitation. I invite you to have a party tonight."

Tian Ze's voice sounded outside the carriage after a while, neither cold nor cold, it was easy to distinguish.

"Li Yuan?"

Luo Yan was also a little surprised when he heard the words, thought for a while, and then ordered: "Accept the invitation, just say that I know, and I will be there tonight."

"kindness."

Tianze responded, and after a while an invitation card with a gold border was handed in from outside the carriage, and the claw with the weird scales was naturally Tianze's.

Luo Yan took it and opened it for a few glances, then casually put it aside.

He was not surprised that Li Yuan invited him.

It has been several days since the last time the two sides met. No matter what, Li Yuan should have met Mr. Changping. As for what they talked about, it is a bit hard to guess.

However, with Mr. Changping's cautious character, he should not get too close to Li Yuan.

As for talking about big things, that's even more nonsense.

The two sides can't pee in a pot at all.

Li Yuan in history was a ruthless character, definitely a ruthless character no less than Mr. Changping.

Luo Yan leaned against the wall of the car, the soft blanket was extremely comfortable, half-closed his eyes and looked at the invitation card aside, the corners of his mouth raised.

The fish seemed to be hooked.

Li Yuan's invitation was in the evening, but now he is in no hurry to go to the banquet.

Not to mention.

Luo Yan had to go back.

In the morning, Zi Nu promised to go home for lunch at noon today, but because of Concubine Yan, it was past lunch time.

but.

Eating or not eating is one thing, attitude is another.

What women want most of the time is an attitude.

This point is clear to Luo Yanmen.

……

Taifu's house.

When Luo Yan came back, there was really not much food left.

But the food is gone, and there is Zi Nu.

Zi Nu thoughtfully served a bowl of steaming noodles with several large steaks on it. In front of Yan, Zi Nu's gentle voice sounded at the same time: "You are late, and the food is finished, so let's make it easy, and I will prepare wine and food for you in the evening."

After finishing speaking, Zi Nu gently knelt aside, stared at Luo Yan with deep purple eyes, and motioned for Luo Yan to move.

"...so fragrant~"

Luo Yan swallowed, met Zi Nu's gaze, and said insincerely.

At this moment, he was inexplicably regretful. He knew that he would eat less at Concubine Yan's side, or increase the amount of exercise after meals. Now that there is such a large bowl of noodles in front of him, he has to eat if he doesn't.

It's not that I can't eat, but it's definitely not too delicious to eat when I'm not hungry.

Facing Zi Nu's love.

Luo Yan obviously had to finish this bowl of noodles and soup together.

Luo Yan started to eat with difficulty.

Soon, a bowl of noodles was eaten.

"Are you full? If it's not enough, I'll make some more~"

Zi Nu looked at the clean bowl with a smile in her eyes, and said to Luo Yan.

Just like men like to see beautiful women.

Women also like to watch their favorite men eat their own meals.

no need.

Luo Yan refused in his heart. The bowl of noodles he ate was not delicious at all. The most important thing was that he was a little bit full at the moment, so he quickly shook his head and refused: "It's okay, I'm full, Zi Nu, your cooking is getting better and better, I feel I can't live without you more and more."

As he said that, Luo Yan leaned into Zi Nu's arms, hugged Zi Nu's soft body tightly with his trotters, and arched his head around her neck.

He looked like a piglet who hadn't eaten all the time, whimpering and humming.

"I'll go make some for you~"

Zi Nu pushed Luo Yan's head and said softly.

"Don't bother me. I'm not very hungry. I just want to hug you now. I have to go out again later. I was invited by Li Yuan from Chu State tonight. I have to talk about something. I don't know when I will be back." ~"

Luo Yan wittily pulled Li Yuan out of the bag.

"Chu Li Yuan? Could it be the elder brother of the Queen of Chu?"

Zi Nu's eyes flickered slightly, and she asked.

After all, she is not an ordinary woman, and her knowledge is naturally far beyond that of ordinary women.

Luo Yan nodded, looked at Zi Nu in surprise, and asked, "That's right, it's him, why, do you know him?"

"Saw it twice in the embassy."

Zi Nu nodded and explained.

Han Fei has also been in contact with Li Yuan several times, and his evaluation is not low, and he is not a good person.

Originally, I planned to remind Luo Yan to be careful of the other party.

But thinking that it was Luo Yan who made others suffer, he couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled, and glanced at Luo Yan, the bad guy.

If you have the time to worry about Luo Yan, you might as well think about what to eat tonight.

Luo Yan nodded, and didn't say too much about Li Yuan's matter. Li Yuan's matter involved Chu and Qin, and it was better not to let Zi Nu know about it.

The purple girl didn't ask any more questions, and there was a tacit understanding between them on this.

Not much to say.

After dinner, Luo Yan accompanied Zi Nu to stroll around the garden in the mansion, and then went to the backyard to tease Xiao Yaner. During the period, he explained to Yanling Ji Jingxi that he would come back later at night, and then he got up and left the mansion , touched his stomach that was still full, and sighed helplessly.

It's not good to be a man~
Especially being a philanthropic man is too difficult.

Among them, only Luo Yan knows the bitterness and hard work, and it is not enough for outsiders to understand.

Get out of the mansion.

Luo Yan refused Tianze's follow. His stomach was too full. He planned to take a walk. As for the evening, it would be fine to ask Li Yuan to send someone to see him off. With his identity, can he still encounter trouble in Xianyang City?

Looking at the direction, Luo Yan walked towards the merchant.

He planned to meet Li Si and see what was going on with Li Si and Han Fei, as well as the widows Qing and Bai Jie who hadn't seen each other for a long time. (Before I got married, I was called Qing girl, and my name was Bai Jie. It should be normal for a lady like this in ancient times. Don’t feel awkward. Although I have a bad taste, it’s not a big problem. I don’t understand it.)
Some time ago, I promised to teach the widow to clean some things. Today, I happen to have a little spare time, so I can chat with her.

. . . . . . . . . .

The chamber of commerce is located in the commercial street, and the territory is extremely prosperous.

In addition, the owners of the chamber of commerce are all wealthy businessmen from the state of Qin, backed by the state of Qin, which made the chamber of commerce's status in the state of Qin the same for a while, especially after refined salt, ironware, paper and other things gradually became popular. The turmoil also intensified.

Looking at the bill in his hand, especially the money on it, Luo Yan nodded with satisfaction, and told Li Si, "Notify those rich merchants that after the coronation ceremony of the King of Qin, I will build a school and let them prepare craftsmen. And wood, let the Emerald Tiger prepare for the money."

"Li Si understands."

Li Si, whose hair was getting thinner, nodded and agreed. This was something that had been planned long ago, and now it is just beginning to be implemented.

"You should also prepare. After the king's coronation ceremony, the affairs of the chamber of commerce can be fully handed over to Emerald Tiger and Widow Qing. I will recommend you to the king, and you will be in charge of the newspaper. During this period of time, its response It's okay, it can be promoted appropriately.

Even if there is no effect in a short time.

But after five or ten years, when it becomes a trend, these will be your rising capital. "

Luo Yan looked at Li Si and assured him.

He is not some unscrupulous capitalist, how can he keep exploiting Li Si, he will still give the sweetness that should be given.

How can Li Si work hard for him without any sweetness?

People are not robots.

Li Si's pursuit of entering Qin Dynasty was fame and fortune. He already had altruism, and the rest was fame. The newspapers were enough for Li Si to climb up, although it took a long time to digest.

It's not that Luo Yan deliberately suppressed him, but that Li Si needs a period of training.

Most importantly, Luo Yan is still short of people.

Li Si is really useful...

"promise!"

Li Si's eyes brightened slightly, and he replied in a deep voice.

Luo Yan finished talking about the business and brought the topic to Han Fei.

Li Si focused his eyes slightly, and reported in a leisurely manner: "Brother these days, besides drinking, he goes to the embassy to chat with the envoys from various countries. During this period, he had a lot of contact with Wei Lingshu, the sixth son of Wei."

"Wei Lingshu? I see."

Luo Yan nodded. He knew Wei Lingshu. Besides, he also remembered Mei Sanniang who protected Wei Lingshu deeply.

That woman looks very strong~
"Han Fei continued to stare. I don't need to do other things. I will arrange them. As for Han Fei's desire for a place in the chamber of commerce, he can just agree to it. It's just some money, so I will give it to him."

Luo Yan explained to Li Si, and then ended today's chat.

Because the widow Qing had already come in with tea.

The moment they saw the widow clearing up, both sides closed their mouths tacitly, and Li Si also resigned without disturbing Luo Yan's private space.

Although Luo Yan and the widow are innocent.

But Bai Jie was a widow after all, and Luo Yan's character... Li Si knew it.

Today's Bai Jie is wearing a white skirt. Inside the skirt, which is as thin as a cicada's wings, is wrapped in a little white silk, making her figure even more graceful and charming, especially the magnificence in front of her, trembling and trembling. It trembled, it was really big.

With a touch of restraint and dignity on her fair and delicate face, she walked over politely and put the tea on the table.

"These little things always trouble you~"

Luo Yan looked at the widow Qing, holding the value of the Taifu, sighed softly, and looked at the other party apologetically: "I am used to drinking the tea you made, but now I can't drink other people's tea. down."

"My lord has saved my concubine's husband's family business, and recreated it with kindness. These small things are what a concubine should do, and they are not troublesome."

When Bai Jie heard this, a smile appeared on her pretty face, she looked at Luo Yan firmly, shook her head, and said seriously.

For Luo Yan.

Bai Jie was very grateful. If Luo Yan hadn't helped her back then, she and the Ba family would never be where they are now. She knew very well how cold-blooded and cruel those people were.

"But you can't make tea for me for a lifetime."

Hearing this, Luo Yan sighed with emotion, whether intentionally or not.

The seemingly unintentional words were spoken by the widow Qingxin trembled slightly. After all, she was a woman. How could she not feel it when it was a topic of a lifetime, especially during this time with Luo Yan. She was very fond of this young, handsome, talented, and gentle The Tai Tuo was very fond of him.

It would be a lie to say I didn't feel it.

Just like it takes a moment for a man to like a beautiful woman, but it doesn't take a moment for a woman to fall in love with a man, but she still feels it subtly.

Goodwill can be cultivated, especially if the first feeling is good.

How could the widow's innocence be able to hold on to Luoa's flirtatious vigor and tricks? !

now.

Bai Jiefang's heart trembled, but she still maintained a shrewd and capable temperament. She glanced at Luo Yan with a little panic in her eyes. When she found that Luo Yan was only interested in tea, she breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time was a little confused. Unknown depression and loss.

Biting her lip lightly, hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "If Taifu is willing, I can make tea for Taifu for a lifetime."

"How can this be so? It's not delaying your whole life. Your husband died early. If you see the man you like in the future, you must not give up happiness. Women still need a man in this life."

Luo Yan looked at Bai Jie with gentle and clear eyes, as if looking at a close friend, and said casually but not without concern.

There is no frivolous meaning in the words and expressions.

Hearing this, Bai Jie clenched her jade hand hidden in her cuff for no reason, and instinctively resisted and retorted: "I will never remarry in this life!"

Mei Mu looked at Luo Yan seriously, as if she didn't want Luo Yan to say such things again.

She has a strong temper.

"I'm just saying, don't get excited. If you don't want to, no one can force you. I will protect you for the rest of your life."

Luo Yan was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and then showed a warm manly smile, and said softly, and then continued to focus on the bill in front of him, drinking a sip of tea from time to time, as if the words just now were casual chats between friends .

Luo Yan's words seemed to be "casual", but he teased the young woman in front of him.

Bai Jie's beautiful eyes looked at Luo Yan in a daze.

"Are those people not listening to management?"

Luo Yan drank two sips of tea, asked, and then looked at Bai Jie again, seeing Bai Jie's absent-minded appearance, blinked his eyes in confusion, as if he didn't understand why the other party was like this.

"Never, and I dare not!"

Facing Luo Yan's suspicious gaze, Widow Qing became more flustered and said hastily.

Luo Yan naturally believed this.

After all, the Widow Qing in front of me has a bit of sternness and means, she is not a so-called vase, and she does not lack the means and heart that should be.

If it weren't for this, he would definitely not be able to control such a large family business as the Ba family, let alone be valued by Luo Yan.

Talent is what Luo Yan values ​​most.

Beauty alone is sometimes useless, and Luo Yan is not the kind of person who only cares about beauty.

He also depends on his body, temperament and personality...

"That's good. These algorithms are a bit outdated. I'll teach you a simpler calculation method. I invented it out of boredom. It's the easiest way to keep accounts."

Luo Yan waved at Bai Jie, bringing her closer, and then began to teach by example, very serious in words and deeds, literally.

As for what is taught, it is naturally Arabic numerals and the most basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

These simple algorithms are not difficult, and adults can learn them with a little understanding.

What's more, Widow Qing herself is not stupid.

After half an hour, Widow Qing can roughly write and record, and the rest is just proficiency.

A pair of beautiful eyes are shining, and only merchants like her know the magical effect of this counting method. It can be said that this thing is across the ages. She looked at Luo Yan with admiration, and said softly: "My lord, this time If the method is spread, it will completely reform the method of counting."

"This is a small way, and it will naturally spread if there is a chance in the future, but at this stage, it is better to keep it secret."

Luo Yan shook his head and said softly.

Luo Yan planned to keep these things and put them in the academy.

Don't be in a hurry.

The most important thing is that he is not interested in teaching others. He has so many things, how can he have the leisure to teach others, it is better to let others understand by themselves...

PS: I muttered weakly, not enough time...
