1865 Magical Skills(1/2)

Mrs. Li heard that Li Cong, her son, wanted to have a good rest at home with her for several days. She had heard Li Cong say this to her many times before. Unfortunately, Li Cong always found her after he said it.

There is no one around anymore, and every time he speaks, it doesn't count. If things go on like this, Mrs. Li doesn't believe her son anymore. It's a waste of energy to see this kid talking. This time seems to be different from before. No, this time.

Early in the morning, Li Cong had already brought his eldest wife, second wife and his fourth concubine to pay his respects to Mr. Li. It was really rare to see such a neat gathering like this.

"Greetings to the old lady." Li Cong led a room full of women and began to greet the old lady who had just sat down. Now the Li family is different from before. Although it is still the same origin, this cannot be changed, but

His Majesty the Emperor has personally issued an imperial edict to give Mrs. Li the title of Mrs. Bo, who can be regarded as a first-class royal wife in the court. All the first-class royal wives in the entire court add up to only a few.

It only reaches one thousand, and no province can even get one. Just like in the southern province where Li Cong is located, Li's title is the highest. Li is very satisfied with himself now.

"Haha, okay, okay, okay." The old lady seemed really happy today. She said three good words in a row. The smile on her face always made her eyes laugh. It was like this before.

There was so little time, "Everyone, get up. The people in your family don't do so many idle things. As long as you have nothing to do, come over and talk to me, an old woman." The look on Li's face

It does bring some satisfaction. In fact, people need some things like this when they get old, and they don't need anything else.

"Let's all sit down and eat. I haven't been so happy here for a long time. Son, didn't you say that you want to spend time with your mother? Today I want to hear what arrangements you made for me? I am

I heard that you asked Bai Er to hang up the sign. From now on, no one from outside will bother you for seven days." The old lady is very well-informed and knows all these things.

"Haha, these things I arranged are naturally liked by my mother. After we had breakfast in the morning, how about letting them play leaf cards with my mother for a while. I will help my mother count the money in the back." Li Congxiao

He said.

"No, what is this leaf card game? I don't know how many times I have played it before, but it was not very fun. I think the Landlord game you taught the princess to play a few days ago was very fun.

, why not just play that." Li said with a smile, both words were interesting. Leaf cards require four people to play, so since Li Cong said he would help Li count the money, he naturally would not follow.

Let's play. This Landlord game is played by three people, so Mrs. Li asked her two daughters-in-law to play with her. As for Li Cong's four concubines, in fact, Mrs. Li didn't think much of them.

It's strange that Mrs. Li didn't have such thoughts in the past, but she didn't know why she started to think about it after becoming the first-grade wife.

The concubines are also divided into three, six or nine grades. The concubine who the Ming matchmaker is marrying from outside is considered the first grade. Except for the fact that there is no wife, the others are all there. The second grade is spending money.

Bought from outside, this third-class maid is a concubine. It is not a good thing for the owner's family to spread the word like this.

The four concubines were Li Cong's four former personal maids. Li Cong didn't want to wrong them anyway, but if Li didn't like them, he could only ask them to leave first. What kind of people do they say in this society?

It is absolutely impossible for people to be equal. If you really want to say this, many people may think that there is something wrong with your brain.

While the little princess was talking to her mother-in-law, she also had to take care of family affairs. There were more than a thousand people in the family, and there were a lot of things to do every day. Not only did this involve the issue of winter clothes, Li

I usually don't care about these things, but today my son only listens to things at home. It's also very interesting to listen to it occasionally.

"It's time to start wearing winter clothes. Now the weather is slowly getting colder. But we are in the south after all. We don't need such thick clothes. Tell the people below that anyone who goes to the north to do business in the future will be given

Buy two sets of woolen clothes, and everyone else just needs two pairs of cotton clothes. This is a newly opened house this year, and there are no examples of anything. You go and draw up a charter, and I will take a look and talk about it. In addition, I will also buy the clothes of the masters.

How's it going?" The little princess still has a bit of a mistress' ability when facing these stewards, and everyone listens very seriously.

"Replying to Madam, the masters' clothes are arranged in this way. Thirty-six pieces of inner and outer winter clothes for the old lady were delivered to the old lady's house yesterday. They are all made of fine Sichuan brocade.

It was made of the fur of Ye Lihu. Four hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver were spent on this. Thirty pieces of the young master and his wife were also cured. They will be sent to the second door today. Twenty-eight pieces of the second wife's and four pieces were cured.

My aunt's twenty pieces, a total of one hundred and eight pieces, are still being worked on in the workshop. They will be delivered one after another in the next two days. They cost 1.75 million taels of silver." A housekeeper seemed to know these things very well.

Yes, he told all this without even looking at the account books. Li Cong was a little confused after hearing this. Isn’t his life a little more luxurious now? This is a problem with some clothes.

It costs more than two million taels of silver? No wonder the daily expenses of this family cost more than 20 million taels of silver every month. The clothes are worth more than their own house.

"Haha, thanks to you being a smart guy, it's really difficult for you. I must have never done these things in the palace before. I'm impatient with this, so you can just take care of it." Ms. Li looked at her princess.

My daughter-in-law also likes it very much, and she is very jelly-like when listening to her deal with things. If I let myself handle these things, I'm afraid it won't be so fast.

Li Conggang wanted to talk about this expense issue, but after thinking about it, he decided not to mention it. Everyone in the family seemed to be used to this kind of life. If he had rashly mentioned some tailoring issues, I guess it wouldn't be too much.

Satisfied, they are all used to wearing Yeli fox fur clothes. In fact, this is not the most expensive. Some high-ranking officials in the capital have clothes worth a hundred thousand taels of silver. I compare with those people.

It seems quite economical.

"Haha, this is really not worthy of the praise of the old lady. After all, it is the matter of the people in this mansion, how much more can we go out? My sister's place is busier, and my sister's place is related to the millions of people outside Jiangning City.

Where are the refugees?" the little princess said with a smile. Although she is not as old as Cui Xian'er, because she is the first lady, everyone under this title must call her sister.

"Speaking of which, my place has been really busy recently. The old lady used to manage it with me. Why has she stopped caring about it recently? So does my sister. She even came to my place to have a look a while ago. Now,

It seems that she is only in charge of her own silk and satin shop." Cui Xian'er was drinking soup. When he heard what the little princess said, he said quickly. Everyone in the room laughed. It is one thing to be passionate about charity, but it is also

They all have their own things to do. Li is getting older no matter what, and her body is not as strong as it was a while ago. It's okay to go over there occasionally, but it's not okay to ask her to come here like she's at work.

"Haha, I have the brains to manage these things. I can't control these things now. Speaking of which, I am very happy to see that you all have your own things, but you are all

Have you forgotten something?" The old lady's words made everyone don't know what to say, and they all looked at the old lady without knowing why.

The old lady pointed at Li Cong's forehead. "You, you are really unfilial. You think that if you marry a daughter-in-law and the house is decent, you will make me happy? You know that the old lady in the city lord's house is not as good as me in anything, but

There is one person who is better than me. He has four sons and more than twenty grandsons. Every day I see him dealing with his grandsons’ wars and troubles. I am very envious. At that time, I thought, if I also have

If there are more than twenty grandchildren, then I will be really happy. It will be okay to cause trouble every day. I am willing to see it." The old lady's eyes showed yearning. Li Cong didn't even think about what he told the old lady.

This is what happened.

"Haha, mother, what is this? Haven't I been away from home for a while? Look at these daughters-in-law, none of them are ordinary people. I guarantee that after a while, our family will also be full of children.

, I'm afraid that you may not be able to take care of your mother by then, just like the city lord's mother, I don't know how worried you will be." Li Cong said with a smile, how can you say such words without regard for face in this world?

It was probably Li Cong. The old lady was so happy when she said this. The other daughters-in-law also went out with blushing faces. They were not as shameless as Li Cong. They had agreed to fight the landlord.

, there is no sound anymore.

"Look, look, the people who agreed to play cards are all because of your mouth. They all offended me and ran away. You don't want to be shameless. Do you think your wife is just like you? This

All of them are so thin-skinned. How old are they? Now, we are the only two left. Just now I was thinking of asking them to accompany me and have fun. This is great for you." Li.

Looking at Li Cong, he said helplessly that he was a little uncomfortable with his son's way of speaking, let alone his daughters-in-law. They were right not to adapt to this matter. If they all told Li Cong

From the same time, this is really a big trouble.

"Old lady, someone is coming from the city lord's palace, saying they want to meet the old lady." Li Cong was just about to say something, when the maid next to the old lady said that someone was coming over there. Li Cong also knew that it was the city lord's house in this city.

The old lady was the closest to her mother. They were probably discussing what to do, so Li sat back to drink tea from here.

"Maybe something happened. Call me in." The old lady said. She was no longer as kind as before, but she really looked like an old lady.

"I have met Mrs. Bo, and I have met the Earl. Our old lady asked me to come to say hello to the old lady and ask if the old lady has time recently. Our mansion has recently built a hot spring village over there in Xishan. If the old lady has time,

You can go over and try it. It’s very good for the elderly’s health. I heard that some dignitaries in the capital like to use it.” The person who came was a servant woman in her forties, and she must be in the city lord’s mansion at first glance.

The people in charge around the old lady knew that taking a hot spring bath, Li Cong, was good for his health. The old lady should have agreed immediately, but the old lady's answer made Li Cong a little puzzled.

"Oh, thank you for your kindness, old lady. Something happened at home these days. I'm afraid I don't have any free time. Let's do it next time." After the old lady finished speaking, she waved her hand and let this guy go out. Although this

The guy was still wondering what was going on. But thinking that Li Cong was here, could it be that the earl didn't want his mother to associate with the old lady in his family? Although the city lord had expressed his intention to curry favor with Li Cong many times, he had no choice but to

He also knew that in his position, if it weren't for living in the same city as Li Cong, the two of them would not even have a chance to talk. The level difference is really too far.

"Mother, what's going on? Didn't you have a good time chatting with the old lady in the city lord's mansion?" Li Cong waited for someone to go out and asked.

"Haha. That old lady usually seems very harmonious, but unfortunately she is too shrewd. I like to talk to her parents, but I definitely don't like that old lady plotting against me. Do you really think she asked me to go there?

Is it to soak in the hot springs? No, this old lady has an idea. Isn’t his second grandson planning to open a bank to lend money? But recently there is no source of funds at all, so this plan has been shelved. He asked me to go

I hope that I can invest in shares. I have never understood these things very well. It’s okay to take out the money. It’s only a few hundred thousand taels of silver at most. I’m afraid of causing trouble for you.

There is not much profit in a year." It turns out that this is what Li is worried about. Li Cong said earlier that the matters in the court will basically not affect him, even those censors and so on.

It doesn't matter if you participate in the concert, you won't be afraid of those people at all.

"Actually, for people like them, they can live a good life relying on the skills of their father and brother. They all live a very good life. There is no need to participate in the business of these banks. If something goes wrong,

What may ruin your reputation is just that these guys can't see each other. It doesn't matter. Mother, they won't let you lose money anyway, so just take out some money and go out and try." Li

Cong smiled and said, everyone in the family has something to do, and my mother probably wants to try it too.

"Really? Didn't it say that officials can't do business?" Li said with some contradictions. It is estimated that only Li believed in such a rule. Others had already thrown out the news. No one would believe it.

Something like this.

"It doesn't matter. I'm not among those people. Mother, things like lending may cost others money, for example, the person who made the loan ran away or something, but for the young masters of the City Lord's Mansion, this is

A person who specializes in making money, no one dares to cheat their money. Sometimes they are synonymous with money. If you partner with him in this business, you will definitely make a fortune." Li Cong said with a smile, those bureaucrats on the earth.

There are all kinds of things they do here, and all of them can make themselves very rich.

"Okay, then I'll quickly ask someone to ask." In fact, Mrs. Li didn't want to have any quarrel with the old lady of the City Lord's Mansion because of this issue. Now that Li Cong had said that, she didn't want to

After staying like this, he immediately went out to arrange these things. He even forgot about his son's promise to accompany him. Li Cong could only shake his head helplessly. It was so easy for him to be at home, and no one would care about him.

, his daughters-in-law must be angry with him, and his mother is also busy doing business, and it looks like she really needs to take a rest.

Li Cong went out by himself, and Bai Er followed Li Cong in the distance. The position was just right. He couldn't hear what Li Cong said, but if Li Cong waved his hand, this guy could still see it immediately.

, this kind of thing is the best for a slave.

Li Cong found a place in the garden of his home and sat down. This place was also specially built for Li Cong to practice Kung Fu. There was no one visible from the surrounding area, and there was only one entrance and exit to enter. There were only ten meters around.

The place is filled with the hardest rocks transported. Such things cost the same as silver. The rocks around here alone cost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. However, this can only be regarded as a general practice place.

It is similar to that of a fifth-level warrior. The magician's training place is much more powerful than this. However, Li Cong can go to the magician's union's training room, so there is no need for these things. Now Li Cong can sit down in it.

I am not a practitioner, but I opened my own magic book to see what I should do.

Li Cong's mental power has reached the sixth level, which can be said to be a high-level sixth level. However, some magics have not kept up. The most important ones are the fire and ice systems. These two magics are also the most output.
