Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

At first, Li Qiu didn't intend to talk about it, but under Du Ruhui's questioning, he still talked about his current troubles.

Hearing this, Du Ruhui laughed loudly, "Isn't it just such a small matter, what's the problem?"

"Tomorrow, you get everything ready, and I'll help you go to Duke Ying's mansion."

Hearing his words, Li Qiu also expressed his concerns, "Lord Du, this is not a trivial matter."

"I guess it will cause chaos in the court again."

"Your body?"

Du Ruhui smiled and said to him at this time: "Li Qiu, you don't understand many things here."

"Your prospective father-in-law Ying Guogong and I have a good friendship in private."

"At the beginning, during the reign of Wude, Xuanling and I were squeezed out everywhere, and Duke Ying helped me a lot."

"Look, my house was leaky when I first took it over. Thanks to him, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, he secretly helped to repair it."

"Now that he has just returned from Jingzhou, I also want to sit with him and chat."

"After all, it's been almost a year since I saw him."

"As for the courtiers you worry about?"

"Hey, I'm not the same as Xuanling."

"For those people, have I ever been afraid?!"

Chapter 337 Isn't it just tea leaves?what i have is

All my life, Du Ruhui, I have acted righteously and walked well, which can be regarded as my contribution to the community. "

"What can this group of young people do with me?!"

"Li Qiu, you kid just keep your heart in your stomach, just leave this trivial matter to me."

"Come on, drink!"

After hearing Du Ruhui's words, Li Qiu was naturally overjoyed.

In terms of weight, Du Ruhui, His Majesty's right-hand man, Prime Minister of Shangshu Province, and core member of the power class, is much stronger than Wang Gui.

(There are two prime ministers in Shangshu Province, Zuo Pushe and You Pushe. The original position of Shangshu Ling should have been held by Li Shimin, so he avoided the taboo and has been vacant. The position of prime minister is represented by Zuo Pushe.)

The next day, Du Ruhui really did what he said, and brought a rather heavy gift prepared by Furong Garden, and came to Duke Ying's mansion to propose marriage.

Seeing that it was the Prime Minister Du Ruhui who came in person, the warrior Xun hurriedly greeted him warmly.

"Master Du?"

"What kind of wind is this, how did it bring you here?!"

Du Ruhui said with a smile at this time, "What kind of wind can it be?"

"Isn't that your son-in-law riding a dragon!"

"No, I'm here to propose marriage to your family on behalf of this kid."

Hearing this, the warrior Xun was naturally overjoyed.

He also never expected that Li Qiu would have the ability to bring out such a heavyweight matchmaker.

Although on the surface, he has been consoling Li Qiu not to be willful.

If you find any day, just send Wu Jue to his Hibiscus Garden.

After all, this is being a concubine, so there is no such thing as an official marriage.

However, he is a father after all, who doesn't want his precious daughter to marry well?

Afterwards, the warrior Xun invited Du Ruhui into the house.

"Oh, Keming, to be honest, I really didn't expect you to come today."

"Yesterday, the Hibiscus Garden sent a letter here, and it only said that someone came to propose marriage."

"Originally, in my guess, it is very likely that Wei Zheng or Wei Ting will come today."

At this moment, Du Ruhui also talked about the incident that Du Gou happened to meet Li Qiu yesterday.

"It can be seen that this kid is very attentive and serious this time."

"Even if he hadn't been accidentally pulled into my residence, in my estimation, the person who came today would most likely be Changsun Wuji."

"If he was willing to use Wei Zheng and Wei Ting, Li Qiu wouldn't be wandering the streets with a horse yesterday."

"Eldest grandson Wuji?"

Hearing Du Ruhui's words, Samurai Xun couldn't help frowning.

Du Ruhui could hear the meaning of his words, so he smiled and explained to him.

"Changsun Wuji is a man who is clever and appreciative, elegant and martial, very shrewd."

"However, when it comes to loving Li Qiu, he definitely surpasses me, Li Jing, and Xuan Ling."

"As for the reason, I can't figure it out."

"It's probably the same as Li Jing, love talents."

"Li Qiu is a kid with an out-of-the-box thinking and active personality, which may be more to his liking."

At this time, Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang, the two sons of the warrior Xun, stepped forward to salute Du Ruhui.

And Wu Jue, who had already come out at this time, saluted Du Ruhui respectfully.

At the same time, he personally brewed tea for Du Ruhui and his father.

Seeing Wu Jue fiddling with these extremely delicate tea sets, Du Ruhui couldn't help but nodded.

"If you want to say who makes the most elegant and ancient tea in the entire Chang'an City, it must be your precious daughter."

Hearing Du Ruhui's compliment, Wu Jue smiled politely.

The samurai Xun said with a smile: "If you like to drink the tea made by this girl, you will come here often in the future."

"Also, this time I just came back from Jingzhou for a day, and I didn't have time to visit you."

"Just when you leave later, take a few buckets of tea back to drink."

"Also, from now on, you can drink any tea from Du's residence, I'll make it!"

At this time, Du Ruhui looked at him with a shocked expression, "How many buckets (a bucket of more than ten catties) of tea?"

"Drink whatever you want?"

"How much silver does this cost?!"

Hearing what he said, the warrior Xun was a little surprised.

"silver?"

"What money?!"

"This tea, to put it bluntly, is nothing more than the leaves on the tea tree."

"At most, it takes some effort, manual picking, drying, frying and transportation."

"But how much silver can you use?"

"To tell you the truth, with the output of my Jingzhou, not to mention your Du Mansion, even the entire Chang'an City, I can let you open your mouth and drink as you please..."

The samurai Xun just came back here, and he doesn't know much about Li Qiu's tricks in the Furong Garden.

So Wu Jue on the side hurriedly winked at him, trying to change the topic.

"father……"

"Do you and Master Du want to drink tea and play chess?"

Hearing Wu Jue's words and seeing his daughter's expression, the warrior Xun instantly realized something.

But it's too late to think about it now.

Du Ruhui on the other side stared like copper bells.

"Do you dare to believe that these teas are all produced in Jingzhou?!"

"Is there still such a large stock and output?!"

"Good guy, Li Qiu is such a profiteer!"

"Do you know how much his Furong restaurant sells tea in Chang'an City?"

"One tael of tea is worth a thousand Wen!"

"The leaves he sold are as valuable as silver!"

Hearing Du Ruhui's words, the warrior Xun also shook his head in disbelief.

"Oh, this kid really likes to mess around."

"How could he do that?!"

"Look back, I'll talk to him and ask him to lower the price."

At this time, Du Ruhui waved his hands with a smile, "Forget it, forget it, anyway, it's a deal, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer."

"The most important thing is that although Li Qiu is greedy for money, he uses it wisely."

"You can see that all the money he earned from these rich families and nobles was spent on the common people and refugees."

"I heard from Sun Simiao that this time, in Youzhou and other thirteen states, they gave everything they had to save the 10,000+ refugees."

"Li Qiu and Luo Kexin brought all their wealth in Youzhou, including 5000 taels of gold, as well as the jewels and accessories that were rewarded by the court when they got married."

"It turned out to be all spent."

"At the most critical moment, there was not even a single copper plate in the boxes in the entire treasury."

"As for Li Qiu, Zhang Yungu and others, they also ate bran swallowed vegetables with the refugees."

"What the people eat, they eat."

"That's why there are refugees and starving people in Shandong, Guannei, Luoyang, the eastern capital, around Chang'an City, and so on."

"However, Youzhou and other thirteen states not only supported their own people, but also helped Datang relieve the worries of 10,000+ refugees!"

"That's the difference!"

"So, in my opinion, it is also a good thing for Li Qiu to earn more money from the nobles."

"In case they are rich and unkind, they will die without saving them."

Chapter 338

Hearing what Du Ruhui said, Warrior Xun felt relieved.

At noon, the Samurai Xun's mansion naturally set up an incomparably sumptuous banquet.

During the dinner, Du Ruhui also shook his head with emotion, asking if all the cooks from Furong Restaurant have been poached here?

The taste of the dishes made is amazing!

The warrior Xun said with a smile, Li Qiu and Wu Jue had arranged this.

They had just returned to Chang'an City for a day or two, and they didn't have the time to pay attention to these things.

In the past year, there have been many changes in Chang'an City.

In the end, after Du Ruhui's trip today, the matter that Li Qiu has been thinking about has been successfully completed.

However, just as Du Ruhui left the Duke Ying's mansion here, the news on the other side had already reached the ears of many courtiers in Chang'an City.

As soon as they heard this, those censors and Confucian scholars were immediately blown up.

How can they tolerate something like this that violates the etiquette system and risked the disgrace of the world?

Especially this Li Qiu, who had just experienced Fan Xing's incident, in the hearts of all the officials of the gentry clan, they wished to swallow him alive.

Can he be so presumptuous now?

As a result, the Ministry of Rites, the censors, and the Zheng family who had a relationship with Li Qiu and Ying Guogong's mansion, all of them became overwhelmed.
