The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"Your Highness is planning to send a gift?" Pei Ji looked at Li Jiancheng in surprise.

"Why, Zuo Pushe thinks there is something wrong with me doing this?" Li Jiancheng said.

Pei Ji shook his head: "Your Highness, if you care about family affection, there will be no problem."

Li Jiancheng looked at Pei Ji's mysterious look. Although he was unhappy, he still patiently asked Pei Ji to hear his opinion.

Pei Ji didn't like Li Fu, so he naturally didn't want the prince to have any contact with Li Fu.

However, Li Fu is just a nephew that Your Majesty has just found. There is no conflict with the prince. Even if he doesn't want the two sides to have contact, he has no suitable excuse or reason.

After thinking about it carefully, there is no rush for this matter. He will always find an opportunity.

Your Majesty is now concerned about Li Fu, just because the talent has just been found, and Your Majesty feels happy that the first King of Han has a successor.

There are so many people in the royal family. After a long time, maybe even His Majesty will not remember that he has such a nephew.

As long as he has a good relationship with His Majesty and the prince, even if Li Fu is a royal relative, it doesn't matter.

In everyone's view, the things in the manor are just a small fight.

Pei Ji came to the East Palace today to communicate with the prince.

Especially after being beaten up by Li Yuan just now, he has to explain to the prince that he may not come to the East Palace so frequently during this period.

At Li Fu's manor, a canal project makes him busy every day, not to mention that there are more people and more things in the house.

If he doesn't go to the canal for a day, he always feels uneasy.

And the same is true in the house.

Sitting in the study, Li Fu couldn't help but sigh.

Even if he is a landlord, he is still a life of worry.

"Old Zhao." Li Fu looked up at the housekeeper, Old Zhao, who was standing in front of the table: "Although you brought back a lot of people, it's still not enough."

"Still not enough? There are quite a few people in the house who make egg-changing. If there are more, the house can't accommodate them." Old Zhao was surprised for a moment, and then explained to Li Fu.

It's not that he doesn't want to bring more people back, but this old house can only accommodate so many people.

Unless a workshop is built on the farm to accommodate these people.

"No, no, no, not a worker. What I want to discuss with you today is to find a shopkeeper who specializes in business." Li Fu said: "The business of changing eggs will grow bigger and bigger in the future. It can't all rely on Shitou alone. There must be someone who specializes in this matter."

But finding a shopkeeper is not something that ordinary people can do. How many people who can read and use an abacus these days?

Only a few people have these skills. It is difficult to select people with good character and trustworthiness from these few people.

"In the future, the business on the farm will not only be about changing eggs." Li Fu said, "So I think it's better to have someone in charge of this matter. Lao Zhao, do you know anyone who can do this job?"

Lao Zhao nodded in agreement, and then thought carefully.

"It's not easy to find a shopkeeper with good character and good management. Sir, this matter can't be rushed."

Lao Zhao said that he couldn't think of a suitable person for a while.

"That's right." Li Fu said, "Then let's do it this way for now."

He wanted to train his own staff bit by bit, but the cycle was too long.

At present, he could only try his best to find ready-made ones.

"Sir, there is one more thing." The housekeeper Lao Zhao asked, "His Majesty has been away from the farm for several days. Why hasn't his will been passed to the farm yet?"

The housekeeper was a little anxious, because this was a major event related to his son's recognition of his ancestors.

Waiting in vain without any news like this inevitably makes people feel uneasy.

"People outside don't know about this yet, right?" Li Fu asked.

"According to your wishes, it has not been spread." Lao Zhao responded.

"That's good." Li Fu smiled and said, "Then wait. Anyway, we have waited for so many years, and these few days are not a big deal. If it were an ordinary family, the matter would be done in a few days. Who let His Majesty come?"

Since he is a royal relative, he wants to be included in the clan record, and the Ministry of Rites has to handle it, so it naturally takes time to prepare.

Li Fu also wants to implement this matter as soon as possible? In this way, no matter what he does in the future, it will be much easier than now.

"My lord."

The voice of Shi Tou came from outside.

Lao Zhao turned and looked outside the study.

The door of the study was not closed, and he could see the yard at a glance.

Shi Tou rushed in.

"My lord, someone is outside the house, saying that he is from the Qin Wang Mansion"The butler of the Qin Palace brought a lot of things." Shitou said.

While he was talking, he handed the visiting card from the Qin Palace to Li Fu.

Li Fu took the card and looked at it carefully.

It was indeed from the Qin Palace, saying that they came to give gifts.

"Please ask them to go to the front hall." Li Fu said, "Meet them."

"Yes." Shitou responded.

The Qin Palace only sent a butler, but brought a lot of things.

After seeing Li Fu, the butler of the Qin Palace saluted respectfully and then handed over a letter.

"My dear, this is a gift from His Royal Highness the Qin Prince and the Princess to you. Please take a look." The butler handed over the letter with both hands.

Li Fu took the letter, but didn't look at it. He smiled a little and said to the butler, "Thank you for sending it, butler. Please thank His Royal Highness the Qin Prince and the Princess on my behalf. I have received their kindness. "

The housekeeper bowed and nodded.

"Sir, the princess said that she will come here with His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin to visit you in a few days. Or if His Majesty's order comes first, you can stay in Chang'an, and the Prince of Qin and his wife will visit you in person. At that time, I hope you will not think it's abrupt. "

Li Fu heard this and said with a smile: "How could it be, I couldn't ask for it."

That's the Prince of Qin, the future emperor.

Even though he is not the crown prince now, it is a foregone conclusion that he will be the emperor.

The opportunity to establish a good relationship with the future emperor has come, why don't you seize it?

"The things have been delivered, so I won't bother you any more. "The housekeeper said with a bow.

Li Fu winked at Lao Zhao, who understood and sent the housekeeper out.

When they arrived at the door, Lao Zhao took out a few silver grains from his sleeve pocket and stuffed them into the hands of the housekeeper of the Qin Palace.

"Jingyang is far from Chang'an, thank you for your help, housekeeper." Lao Zhao said, "It's not a sign of respect, please don't despise it."

The housekeeper felt the weight of the silver grains in his hand and quickly refused.

"This is not allowed."
