Traveling to an ancient peasant family: I got rich by doing business

Li Yu wanted to know the progress of those people, but the reality did not allow it, so he had to ask Mr. Xiang to find some time to help him check.

This was a trivial matter, and Mr. Xiang agreed without hesitation, and described the movements of those people in detail in his subsequent correspondence with Li Yu.

As for the milk tea shop, after it had the plaque of Concubine Shu, it became the most popular shop in the capital for several days.

Some people probably thought that Concubine Shu would not give rewards for no reason, so they directly regarded the store as Concubine Shu's, and gave the shopkeeper the opportunity to say a few good words for them in front of Concubine Shu.

The shopkeeper told them the truth and told them that the store did not belong to Concubine Shu, but they did not believe him. Instead, they thought that the shopkeeper was deliberately concealing the truth, which strengthened their guess.

The shopkeeper had no choice but to let them go.

Anyway, he has never admitted what those people said, so if something really happens in the future, he will have the confidence to defend himself.

As for Minister Huang, he gradually felt relieved because he had not received any information.

After finishing his shift that day, he asked someone to call Ji Shuo home and gave him some detailed instructions.

"Be more careful in the future. If you encounter someone who is not easy to deal with, don't rush over to cause trouble, understand?"

Ji Shuo responded repeatedly: "I was not careful a few days ago and did something wrong. Please forgive me, father-in-law. But father-in-law, do we still have to deal with the milk tea shop next?"

Minister Huang turned the jade ring on his hand and said, "The owner of the milk tea shop is unknown, so don't take any action for now." He would wait until he finds out the details of the milk tea shop. If the other party is just an ordinary citizen, he will make him pay.

"What about your teahouse?"

When the teahouse was mentioned, Huang Shangshu became irritated. He took off his jade ring and tapped his fingers on the table. After a while, he said, "You must have eaten a lot since you came to the capital. So, write down what you think is good and give it to the chef in the teahouse to make."

Ji Shuo wanted to say that this method didn't seem to work. What he had eaten were all things available in the capital. Even if the teahouse sold them, they couldn't compare to the milk tea shop. But seeing that Shangshu Huang looked impatient, he had to swallow back what was in his mind.

At this time, a gust of wind blew and Ji Shuo sneezed violently.

Minister Huang felt a little disgusted, but the other party was his son-in-law after all, so he looked up and prepared to say a few words of concern.

However, he found that Ji Shuo's nose was bleeding.

Huang Shangshu frowned: "Are you feeling unwell?"

Ji Shuo quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood from his nose and said, "The winter in the capital is dry, and I have been busy these past two days and have not had a good rest, so I lost face in front of my father-in-law. I hope my father-in-law will forgive me."

Huang Shangshu hummed calmly: "In that case, you can go out. It's getting late. Go home early."

Ji Shuo bowed and left.

As soon as he left the study, Ji Shuo's face darkened. He touched his nose and walked out with big strides. However, when he reached the garden, he ran into a man head-on.

Ji Shuo immediately put on a smile and called out to the visitor, "Big Brother."

The visitor was not a stranger, but Huang Xiangru, who had not appeared in the capital for a long time.

After his reputation was ruined, Huang Xiangru stayed at home, telling others that he was sick and needed to rest. But everyone knew that he didn't dare to go out because of his lost reputation.

Before Huang Xiangru got into trouble, he was the object of Ji Shuo's flattery. After Huang Xiangru got into trouble, Ji Shuo began to look down on Huang Xiangru.

He felt that it would be embarrassing for Huang Xiangru, a grown man, to be ambushed near a brothel.

So when talking to Huang Xiangru, Ji Shuo's eyes were unconsciously filled with contempt.

Huang Xiangru had seen many people like Ji Shuo, but he still couldn't accept it.

Huang Xiangru punched the rockery beside the road. He didn't look at the blood that instantly gushed out from the back of his hand. He stared at Ji Shuo and said, "Who do you think you are? How dare you give me a cold shoulder!"

After all, this is the Shangshu Mansion. Ji Shuo didn't want to make a big fuss, so he quickly lowered his head and said that he had done nothing and asked his elder brother if he had misunderstood.

Huang Xiangru glared at him, "Don't think I can't detect your little tricks, Ji Shuo. You don't think that you will be successful after joining our Huang family. I tell you, as long as you make me unhappy, I can still kick you out of the Ministry of War."

Ji Shuo's heart skipped a beat. He pursed his lips, and when he looked up again, his smile became even more attentive. "Brother, you are overthinking. How dare I be disrespectful to you? It's getting late, and I have to go back to help my father-in-law. I won't bother you, brother."

After saying this, Ji Shuo waited for a while, and seeing that Huang Xiangru did not answer, he assumed that he agreed and quickly left the garden.

Huang Xiangru listened to the footsteps gradually fading away, his eyes dim and unclear.

He thought about it and walked towards Minister Huang's study.

Seeing his son who had no reputation, there was no more kindness in Shangshu Huang's eyes when he looked at Huang Xiangru.

His expression was serious, and his words were filled with obvious disdain. "Why are you here?"

Huang Xiangru was choked by his attitude, and the words he wanted to say stopped in his throat.

Huang Shangshu did not notice that his eldest son was not right, and said, "If you are fine, please leave. Your father still has official business to attend to."

Huang Xiangru held his hand on the door, but finally did not let go. He looked at the ground and left the study.

Minister Huang snorted when he saw him leave.

A son with a bad reputation and who had been reprimanded by the emperor was no longer of any use to him. He would have to train two more illegitimate sons in the future, and as for the youngest son, he was also not presentable, so he didn't need to care about him anymore.

After thinking about this and that for a while, Minister Huang thought of the teahouse again.

His teahouse must not be abandoned, and he must find a way to revive its business.

*

Minister Huang didn't want anything to happen to the teahouse, but the next morning, his teahouse was sealed off.

No one knew who did it, but a lot of blood was splashed in front of and inside his teahouse. People spread the rumor that it was human blood. Because there was too much blood, the Ministry of Justice directly filed a case and closed the shop, and also took the shop owner and his employees away for interrogation.

Minister Huang was so angry that he almost died, but the officials of Prince Hui's party in the Ministry of Justice were too low-ranking and could not do anything. He could only wait for the results of the Ministry of Justice's investigation.

Su family.

When Li Yu heard that Huang Shangshu's teahouse was closed down, she realized that it was the prince who took action. She thought this was a good idea.

It only took some chicken blood, duck blood and pig blood to fight back against Shangshu Huang and cut off King Hui's way of collecting information.

Minister Huang was probably so angry that he lived a few years less.

Very cool!

Opposite Li Yu, Mr. Su finished the last bite of fried chicken, wiped his hands and said, "This trick is fine. The person who came up with this method is quite capable. But since you can use it, Minister Huang might use the same method on you next time, so you have to be careful."

Li Yu: "Don't worry, sir. In addition to the milk tea shop, my hot pot restaurant and barbecue restaurant are watched every night."

Mr. Su: "That's more like it. By the way, what do you want from me today? It shouldn't just be to bring me food."

Li Yu smiled and said, "Of course not. I'm here to invite you out for dinner."
