Wang Meiren helped Zhou Meiren away.

Zhou Meiren's current physical condition is very poor, and she fell asleep when she returned to her bedroom. Wang Meiren is also a little depressed.

Although she did not suffer as heavy a loss as Zhou Meiren, she felt very sad after seeing the gold brought back by Fu Yao.

After thinking about it, Wang Meiren decided to pay Hu Ji a visit.

Hu Ji's natal Wang family fell. Hu Hai's master Zhao Gao was killed. It is said that His Majesty has not seen her for a long time.

It can be said that Hu Ji has been completely defeated. Chatting with such people can make Wang Meiren feel more comfortable.

Unfortunately, when she arrived at the gate of Orchid Palace, the little palace maid guarding the gate said that Orchid was ill and was recuperating.

Sickness does not necessarily mean that he is really sick. However, since the other party does not want to see guests, Wang Meiren will not force her way in, so she can only leave sadly.

In the poppy palace, Weiyang and Fuyao were giving her lessons.

The two siblings said something to each other, causing Poppy to nod her head repeatedly, and had to admit: "Yes, yes, I was wrong. This time you two bought the house right. In the future, I will also follow the banished immortal."

Next time I will also take out my jewelry to support the banishment of immortals, is it okay? If so, please let me rest for a while, you said I have a splitting headache."

After the poppy left, Fu Yao happily asked Wei Young: "Sister, how should I use so much gold?"

Wei Yang smiled and said: "This is my gold, why do you worry about it?"

Fu Yao was stunned for a moment: "But, but..."

Weiyang said: "But what? The jewelry I bought for the house, was it mine?"

"I was busy and busy, but in the end there was nothing?" Fu Yao always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain what was wrong.

…………

On that day, the weather was beautiful and sunny, and Tian Jing invited the dignitaries of Xianyang and the powerful people of Guandong to attend the meeting together.

Among the powerful people in Guandong today, Tian Jing is the strongest. The powerful people are willing to follow his lead, and the dignitaries in Xianyang also want to explore the true and false status of the powerful people. Therefore, on this day, almost all the people invited came.

Li Shui was naturally invited. But he was not at ease with these powerful people in Guandong. After all, each of these people was a potential rebel.

Therefore, he wore armor under his outer robe, brought two craftsmen for personal protection, and came with Li Xin.

Tian Jing's house is very big, and I don't know who the original owner was. Li Shui sold so many houses that I can't remember them clearly.

With so many people, it’s impossible to sit inside the room. Fortunately, the weather is very good today, neither cold nor hot, with a gentle breeze and the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers.

So everyone spread out mats in the courtyard, placed a few tables, and seated the guests and hosts respectively.

When Li Shui and Li Xin arrived, almost everyone sat down.

Wei Zhang had the lowest status, so he sat at the bottom seat at the door, just one step away from the servants.

On this occasion, Wei Zhang couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Suddenly, he saw an acquaintance and couldn't help shouting: "Isn't this Brother Huang Dog?"

That day, the yellow dog was holding a bamboo sign outside the post house, full of enthusiasm, and coaxed Wei Zhang to smile. He bought a large house for thirty yi per acre.

At first, Wei Zhang felt that he was at a bit of a disadvantage. But in the following days, the price of the house rose rapidly, reaching 500 yi per acre.

And he bought a house early, which is equivalent to sitting on countless wealth.

Wei Zhang couldn't help but be very grateful to this yellow dog. If this person hadn't strongly suggested that he buy a house, how could he be where he is today.

So when he saw the yellow dog today, he couldn't help but say hello.

After Huang Gou saw Wei Zhang, he was slightly startled, but he quickly recognized him. This was his first customer after all.

Huang Gou bowed to Wei Zhang, and then introduced Li Shui warmly.

Li Shui heard that Wei Zhang was the first to buy a house and had a good impression of him, so he chatted for a while.

When Wei Zhang saw that the famous Huaiguzi was so approachable, he couldn't help but be very excited, and his whole body was wrapped in happiness.

Tian Jing, who was sitting at the top, saw Huai Guzi and Wei Zhang chatting endlessly, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart: "Wei Zhang, you are a nobody. What is the benefit of making friends with such people? It shows that Huai Guzi has no discernment."

After Li Shui chatted with Wei Zhang for a few words, he said goodbye, then found his seat and sat down.

At the beginning of the banquet, Tian Jing raised his glass and said a few congratulations. Then everyone drank.

Li Shui tasted the wine in the cup and nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, it comes from the Exorcist Tower."

He tasted the dishes in front of him again: "Yes, they are fried in an iron pot."

Li Shui looked at Tian Jing who was sitting at the top and thought to himself: "Last time, because of the slave plot, Your Majesty was already thinking about this guy. I think this person will be beheaded sooner or later and his family property will be confiscated. This is a big family."

His business is worth a lot of money. I have to make a fortune from him as soon as possible, otherwise, it will be all at an advantage to Your Majesty."

"Also, try to keep a distance from this person so as not to implicate me when he is convicted. Da Qin's continuous sitting method is really terrible."

While Li Shui was thinking about this, the dignitaries and powerful men had already had several rounds of wine.

The powerful man is approachable, and the powerful man is considerate and courteous. The whole banquet was enjoyable, at least on the surface.

Chunyu Yue, Wang Wan and others were relieved to see that Li Shui was quiet and there was no further trouble.

At this time, Tian Jing suddenly stood up, raised his wine glass and said, "Come on, Master Huai, you and I will have a drink together."

Li Shui was a little puzzled and thought to himself: "Am I familiar with you? Why do we have to have a drink together? Such people who deliberately try to get close to each other are very annoying."

But seeing Tian Jing's enthusiastic look, Li Shui stood up and drank it all in one gulp.

Tian Jing said with a smile: "I bought Master Huai's house, so I have a close relationship with Master Huai."

Li Shui was a little confused and thought: "What's the logic of this? Among the dignitaries and powerful people present, which of them doesn't have a house deal with me? Do they have a close relationship with me? Why can't I feel it?"

Tian Jing added: "Since you and I are close friends, I have something to say directly."

Zhao Teng almost laughed out loud, thinking: "Huaiguzi is also like this? Inexplicably, he has become someone else's best friend?"

Li Shui was a little helpless and said calmly: "Brother Tian has something to do, but it doesn't matter. As for whether we are close friends, we can talk about it later."

Tian Jing was stunned for a moment, and then said: "There used to be an old slave in my family, named Ji Nu. This slave was so bold that he escaped. When he heard that he had arrived in Xianyang, he didn't know what method he used to enter Shang Jun's courtyard. Brother Huai

, I am afraid that I have been deceived by him. Therefore, I shamelessly ask Brother Huai for this person."

As soon as this statement came out, all the dignitaries in Xianyang fell silent.

Everyone was thinking: Tian Jing, why did you provoke Huai Guzi? Last time, Yan Le arrested two of his craftsmen, and ended up with their family and family destroyed. Now you are asking for slaves, aren't you making yourself uncomfortable?

As for the powerful people in Guandong, they looked at the powerful people in Xianyang with some confusion, wondering why the atmosphere was suddenly so strange.

And Tian Jing was even more confused. In his opinion, Ji Nu was just a slave, not worth as much as a BMW. Since he had already made friends with Li Shui and was enjoying himself today, it shouldn't be difficult to get a friend from him, right?

So Tian Jing said with a smile: "Brother Huai, can you give this person to me? I am willing to give Brother Huai a good horse. Haha, you have taken a big advantage."

Li Shui scratched his head and said, "No wonder Brother Tian traveled all the way from Qi to Xianyang. It turned out that he was just to plot slaves. Is this person so important?"

Tian Jing was choked and speechless. Am I here to count slaves? I am here to get extra points for the imperial examination.

However, these two reasons are not very fair and fair.

Fortunately, Tian Jing has also seen the world. He smiled and said: "Now that the world is unified, Xianyang is the residence of the emperor, and it is extremely precious. It is natural for us to move to Xianyang."

The powerful men nodded repeatedly and said things like "people go to higher places", "look up at the sky", "I am happy here and don't miss Guandong".

The room was suddenly filled with happy air.

Unfortunately, Li Shui broke the cheerful atmosphere again: "Your majesty has given this slave a free life. No one else can interfere with his whereabouts. Brother Tian, ​​don't think like this anymore."

Tian Jing smiled slightly and said: "Ji Nu is a fugitive slave. Maybe Your Majesty doesn't know his character, so he granted him freedom. However, in any case, as long as Brother Huai agrees to let me see him, then I will be free."

We have figured it out. At worst, I will write to His Majesty afterwards to explain, and I believe Your Majesty will not care about a runaway slave."

Li Shui looked at Tian Jing in confusion: "Why are you reluctant to part with the contract? You must see Ji Nu?"

Tian Jing said: "Brother Huai, I am the leader of a powerful force. If I can't catch a runaway slave, how can I lose my face? Haha, brother Huai won't deny me this face in front of the civil and military officials of the court, right?"

The powerful people in Guandong all said with a smile: "Lord Huai, I'm just a runaway slave, so why not give it to Brother Tian? At the worst, let Brother Tian give you a few beauties. It's a good deal to exchange old slaves for beauties."

The dignitaries in Xianyang all remained silent, and many even took pleasure in others' misfortune.

Sure enough, Li Shui said quietly: "Ji Nu has entered our Shangjun Courtyard. If we hand him over, how can I lose the dignity of banishing him to an immortal? Brother Tian, ​​you are going to do this in front of the civil and military officials of the court.

It’s embarrassing for me.”

Tian Jing was a little angry and thought to himself: "How nice would it be if you hand the person over and everyone laughs? Why do you have to compete with me? It's better now. It's making it difficult for both sides to get off the ground."

He took a deep breath and said: "If Brother Huai can't hand over this person, it's okay. If I meet this person on the street in the future, I will just take him away. In short, he is not in Shangjun Villa

If something goes wrong, Brother Huai's face will be fine. I just hope that Brother Huai will not pursue the matter afterwards."

Li Shui was annoyed: Isn't this nonsense? Is there a big difference between being taken away on the street and being taken away from Shang Jun's courtyard? If I pretend to be deaf and dumb, wouldn't I be a coward? If a tiger doesn't show its power,

They treat me like a sick cat. Does Tian Jing take me seriously? It seems that I have to teach him how to behave today.

Thinking of this, Li Shui sighed and said: "It's a good jug of wine, but it's a pity that I can't drink it anymore. I'll say goodbye."

He stood up, straightened his clothes, and walked away.

Tian Jing was a little confused: How could he leave the table after a disagreement? Is this Huaiguzi polite? I have already given enough face.

Seeing that things were going badly, the banquet was about to turn into a farce. So Tian Jing called out: "Exiled Immortal, stay back." Then he trotted to catch up.

Li Shui suddenly turned around and slapped me across the face: "You are so brave. I am the right concubine of the Qin Dynasty, and your Majesty has personally banished me to an immortal. You dare to detain me? Do you dare to put me under house arrest? Are you planning to rebel?"
