189. Chapter 189 Li Quan let the store

Li Zhen was not surprised that the eldest sister wanted to sell the wine shop. Yesterday, the eldest sister proposed to sell the wine shop. At that time, Li Zhen only thought she was a joke, so she didn't take it seriously. Unexpectedly, the eldest sister really wanted to sell the wine shop.

Li Zhen knew what the wine shop meant to his eldest sister. He didn't want his eldest sister to do anything against her will. When he regretted it in the future, Li Zhen immediately turned over and urged the horse to run towards the south city.

The door of Yashi Ice Wine Shop was already crowded with merchants coming to inquire. After the news of Yashi's plan to transfer it came out early in the morning, countless people flocked to it. Everyone knew that this wine shop was a chicken that lays golden eggs, and could get the lowest price of wine from Wang's wine shop, and provide good wine to the palace for a long time, with extremely generous profits.

Li Quan actually decided to give up. Although many people felt sorry for her, while regretting her, she hoped that she could take over the wine shop. For a time, dozens of big businessmen flocked to her, hoping that Li Quan could transfer the wine shop to her.

In the room, Li Quan happened to be in talks with the owner of the Zuoan Restaurant. She had a good relationship with the owner of the Zuoan Restaurant. The owner of the restaurant was also surnamed Li, and he was from his family. He was about fifty years old. He was tall and fat, generous, and very good at talking. He almost made Li Quan feel moved.

"I can understand the feeling of Master Quan selling the wine shop. I am a real person and will not bargain with Master Quan. Master Quan offers a price, but the price is not outrageous. I can agree. In the future, Master Quan wants to take back the wine shop, and I will transfer the original price, so I will not make Master Quan feel embarrassed."

Li Quan sighed. In fact, she was still hesitating. She put countless efforts into the wine shop and transferred it like this. She was unwilling to accept it! But her husband passed the Jinshi again...

"Master Li Dongzhu, it's not a problem with money, and I can't explain it clearly."

"Of course I know it's not a matter of money, but selling a good price is also a kind of compensation for Quan Dongzhu's efforts to pay so much effort for the wine shop. If the prosperous shop sells it at a low price, it will hurt people, Quan Dongzhu said it is right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a laugh came from the door, "Li Dong is mainly mentally prepared! If my eldest sister stopped doing it, the Wang family winery would stop serving wine, and the palace would no longer enter the wine from Yashiju."

Li Quan turned around and saw that it was the brother standing at the door. She didn't know how to explain to her brother, so she turned her head in depressed mood. However, Li Dongzhu's face changed, and he quickly got up and bowed, and forced a smile and said, "Young Master Li is really good at telling jokes."

Li Zhen walked forward slowly and said lightly: "I'm not telling a joke, I'm telling the truth. The reason why the Wang family provided wine to Yashiju at the best price is because I have kindness to the Wang family. They supply goods cheaply out of repaying their kindness. As for wine in the palace, it is also because of my favor. Once my eldest sister no longer runs this wine shop, will Li Dongzhu think everything will be the same?"

Li Dongzhu's face was pale. The reason why Yashiju was so popular was because Wang's cheaper supply of the best Gaochang wine, and he would give as much as he wanted. First of all, he would make a profit of 30%.

Secondly, when you enter wine from here at high prices in the palace, the monthly alcohol consumption accounts for 60% of the wine shop shipments, and the profit accounts for 80% of the profits. If it is true as Li Zhen said, the two major discounts for one in and one out are gone, and buying this wine shop at a high price will really make a huge loss.

Li Dongzhu turned his head and looked at Li Quan, but Li Quan seemed to have not heard his brother's words. She was still staring at the counter outside in a daze, as if she was still immersed in love with the wine shop. Li Dongzhu had no choice but to ask Li Zhen again, "Mr. Li, is this serious?"

Li Zhen nodded, "You are a smart person, you should understand whether my words are true or false?"

Of course, Li Dongzhu understood that no matter the discounts of the Wang family or the high price of the palace, they were not resources that ordinary people had obtained. If there were no special reasons, it would be absolutely incredible.

He believed Li Zhenzhi's words and quickly calculated the gains and losses of buying this wine shop. He quickly concluded that if he bought this wine shop at a high price, he would lose at least a few thousand guan a year, which would never be accepted.

Master Li stood up and smiled embarrassedly, "Why don't I think about it again!"

He turned around and walked out, secretly glad that he had not reached a sale agreement with Li Quan.

Li Zhen sat down beside his eldest sister and looked at her silently. Li Quan did not respond to Li Dongzhu's departure. She sighed softly, "A Zhen, I feel really uncomfortable!"

"Since I feel uncomfortable, why does my sister sell a wine shop?"

"Because... your brother-in-law, he is now the county magistrate, and I am a businessman, I am afraid that he will have an impact on his future. I am afraid that he will be criticized."

"You are my sister. Have you never thought it would have an impact on my career?" Li Zhen asked angrily.

"That's different!"

Li Quan sighed and said, "My wife and her eldest sister are still different. Although I am your eldest sister, most people don't care too much, but they are different to your brother-in-law, because my wine shop is his, and he is an official and businessman. I don't allow it. I thought about it all night. When he is promoted in the future, someone will use this matter to attack him. I am afraid his promotion will be ruined, and I don't want this kind of thing to happen."

Li Zhen pondered for a moment and said, "If such a thing doesn't happen at all, will the eldest sister regret it in the future?"

"Of course I will regret it, but you can't risk nine thousand nine just because you said "in case."

"Why don't the eldest sister think about how did my brother-in-law get the county magistrate?"

"this--"

Li Quan didn't quite understand what the brother meant. She looked at her brother blankly, and Li Zhen smiled and said, "With Wu Sansi as the backstage, who dares to have objections to the eldest sister's business? Besides, nothing has happened now, and the eldest sister is in a hurry to transfer the wine shop. Could it be that the eldest sister wants to go to the county and taste the taste of being a county magistrate's wife?"

"Go! What are you talking about?" Li Quan knocked on Li Zhen and cursed with a smile: "When did I want to be a county magistrate's wife?"

Li Quan felt much more comfortable after his brother's persuasion. She also realized that she was a little too anxious. The brother was right. Her husband got the position of county magistrate because of his backstage. He had the backstage to support him. Who dared to say that his wife was doing business? The key was that she sold alcohol before he became an official. The selling alcohol had nothing to do with him as an official, so why not?

In fact, Li Quan was reluctant to transfer her wine shop at all. She just couldn't find a reason to persuade her. The brother's words undoubtedly gave her a step. She took the opportunity to get off the stage. As for going to work with her husband, Li Quan also had this idea at first, but her husband Cao Wen opposed it. Just as he took the family to take office, he would bring a bad impression on everyone.

Cao Wen promised Li Quan that he would take office for half a year first, and that when he gradually adapted to the county life, he would take over the whole family. Li Quan felt that it made sense. She didn't want to be a burden to her husband. Now she is not in a hurry to sell the wine shop, and she can't leave Luoyang.

At this time, Li Zhen stood up and smiled at the manager Afu outside the door, saying, "Your boss doesn't want to transfer the wine shop for the time being. Tell me about it to the outsiders and let me disperse first!"

"Why!"

Ah Fu agreed happily, turned around and ran out, "Everyone, please go back! My boss will not transfer the wine shop for the time being..."

A big rock fell in Li Quan's heart, and her mood gradually improved. At this time, she remembered something again, "I forgot to tell you, Miss Di will write you a letter."

She quickly found Di Yan's letter and handed it to Li Zhen. Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, took the letter and opened it, and he jumped up, "She is back!"

Li Quan was also stunned, "Miss Di is back?"

At this time, the manager Afu ran in and said to Li Zhen: "Young master, Miss Di is here, right outside the store."

Li Zhen turned around and walked out of the store. He saw Di Yan holding a horse under a big tree outside the store, pursing her lips, looking at him with a smile.

Li Zhen felt aroused in his heart. At this moment, he threw everything out of the sky. There was only Di Yan in his heart. All his fame, wealth, and all his intrigues were thrown away by him. He was so happy that he seemed to explode and jumped out of the store.

"A Yan, when will you come back?"

After walking for more than a month, perhaps most of her time spent on the journey, she looked a little thinner and her skin was a little darker, but she was still so pretty, with bright eyes, and her smile and frown were full of vitality. She wore a short green jacket, a bright red pomegranate long skirt, and a red silk shoulder. Her slender figure looked very slim.

She still had a double ring of moon-looking bun on her head, and a jade shaking sticking into her black hair, but today the two swords on her back disappeared. When she was next to the saddle, Di Yan pouted her mouth and asked a little unhappy: "I asked my family to send you a letter yesterday, why didn't you come to see me?"

Li Zhen scratched his head, raised the letter in his hand and smiled: "My eldest sister has been busy these two days. She just gave me the letter. I haven't finished reading it yet! You are here."

"oh--"

Di Yan was actually very happy, but she didn't want this guy to know how much she was looking forward to seeing him. She still pretended to be arrogant and said: "It's almost noon, but you left the guests outside the door. Is this the way of hospitality of Commander Li?"

Li Zhen suddenly realized and smiled and said, "The wine shop is very messy. Let's go to the Zuobank wine shop and I'll invite you to drink."

"This is almost the same!"

Di Yan couldn't help but smile and put the horse in the wine shop. At this time, Li Quan came out and said hello to her. Although Di Yan was not dressed as a hero today, Li Quan was still a little uncomfortable. She hoped that her brother would accompany Wang Qingyu to the Zuoan Restaurant.

The two sat down at the old seat on the third floor of the restaurant. Li Zhen ordered a few dishes and ordered another pot of good wine. The bartender quickly went there. At this time, Di Yan looked at the lobby of the restaurant and said with emotion: "Everything is the same, but I feel that it seems that I have been leaving for several years."

Li Zhen poured Di Yan a cup of tea and asked with a smile: "How do you know that I was promoted to commander?"

"Is it a deputy commander good? Is it still one step away from the commander!"

Di Yan gently tilted her mouth and said disdainfully: "I am just a small leader of the inner guard. Look at you so beautiful, I promote it everywhere. Even the servants in my mansion know the reputation of Commander Li. Tsk tsk! That's amazing! Is the little woman going to kneel down to you?"

Li Zhen smiled embarrassedly and said, "A lot of things have happened in the past month, which has made me famous again and again, but it is not my original intention."

"I know!"

Di Yan glared at him, bowed and lowered his voice, "Can you just delay it? I will clean up the fake monk when I come back. Such an interesting thing actually left me aside and see how I will teach you a lesson when I turn back!"

Only then did Li Zhen realize that she was angry because she didn't catch up with the fight with Xue Huaiyi. He also smiled and said, "I want to delay it, but the fake monk himself was going to kill himself and insisted on burning Mingtang on Shangyuan Ye, but I can't blame me."

He took out a jade hairpin from his arms and handed it to Di Yan, "I bought this the day before yesterday. I wanted to ask someone to send it to Pengze, but I didn't expect you to come back today, I'll give it to you!"

Di Yan took the jade hairpin and felt happy and moved. She whispered: "I originally decided to come back in late February, but my grandmother was afraid of delaying the polo competition and refused to stay in Pengze for a long time. We set off after the Lantern Festival. We walked for more than ten days and returned to Luoyang yesterday."

"Is your father okay in Pengze?"

"He is in good health and has done a lot of practical things to build roads and bridges. He also asked me to bring you a word."

Di Yan thought for a while and said slowly: "The murder knife is not a weapon, but a human heart is. This is what my father said. Can you understand?"

Li Zhen nodded silently. He could understand the profound meaning of Di Renjie's words. Di Renjie knew that he had served as the deputy commander of the inner guard, so he told himself that good and evil in a person's hearts do not depend on what official he is, but on what he does.
