Chapter 927 Relax and get used to it

While Zhao Teng and Mrs. Zhao were talking, the servant hurried to the study.

Zhao Teng was coaxing Mrs. Zhao when he saw a servant coming in and asked, "What's the matter?"

The servant hurriedly replied: "Sir, I just heard the news. Many adults sent people from their houses to Shangjun's villa."

Zhao Tengna asked in confusion: "Go to Shangjun Courtyard? What to do?"

The servant said: "It is said that these people have some rosters in their hands, and they seem to be masters who know how to brew wine."

Zhao Teng thought for a while and understood.

The lady looked at Zhao Teng and said: "Shangjun Courtyard is already brewing fairy wine, so is there a shortage of winemakers? These people are really so attentive for nothing."

Zhao Teng said slowly: "Of course these people are not here to brew fairy wine, but they also want to cooperate with Shangjun Courtyard to brew low-alcohol wine."

"I guess they heard that Mrs. Qi's wife has a fellow villager who has wine-making skills, so Shangjun Courtyard cooperated with Qi's family. They also found some people and wanted to get a piece of the pie."

Mrs. Zhao nodded and muttered: "How is it possible that so many people who know how to make wine suddenly appear?"

Zhao Teng smiled and said nothing. This group of people used all kinds of tricks. It is estimated that among the 100 people on the roster, only about ten know how to make wine, and the rest are odd jobs.

Mrs. Zhao asked in a low voice: "Since you know so clearly, why didn't you find some brewing craftsmen earlier and send the roster over? Take a look at those adults."

Zhao Teng looked at Mrs. Zhao and consoled her: "Madam, how can you compare me with those profit-seeking villains?"

Mrs. Zhao snorted coldly: "They are profit-seeking villains. As for you, I only see you taking money out every day, why don't you earn a living back?"

Zhao Teng smiled awkwardly and said: "Madam, I guess this matter will definitely be opposed by some courtiers. If your Majesty does not agree and even pursues it, it will be troublesome."

"Let's wait and see what happens for the time being. There will be many ways to make money in the future, and this is the best one."

Mrs. Zhao sighed, that was enough, then turned and left the study.

Zhao Teng looked at the servant in front of him, became angry and kicked him.

The servant was originally waiting for Zhao Teng's other instructions, but he was suddenly kicked by Zhao Teng.

The servant got up from the ground with a confused look on his face and said in a low voice: "My lord, I'm sorry."

After saying that, he kept kowtowing.

Zhao Teng said coldly: "Do you know the crime? Tell me, what crime do you know?"

The servant lowered his head and sweated anxiously, thinking: I don't know what crime I am guilty of. I just wanted to tell you about the situation in Shangjun's Courtyard. How come I got kicked in the face without incident.

The servant racked his brains, thought about it, and said in a low voice: "Young man, I shouldn't talk about this in front of my wife."

Zhao Teng kicked him again and said, "How could I have such stupid subordinates as you?"

The servant whispered in a tearful voice: "Sir, little one, little one..."

Zhao Teng scolded: "You should have told me this news earlier. So many adults have compiled the list of winemakers at the same time and sent it to Huaiguzi. There is such a big news, and you haven't heard any news?"

"Earlier when they started compiling the list of winemakers, you should have snooped out the information and told me."

"Their roster has been given to Huaiguzi, and now it's useless."

The servant lowered his head in grievance, thinking: Sir, didn't you ask me to keep an eye on the news about Shang Jun's Courtyard?

The affairs of other adults' houses are not under my control.

The servant did not speak out his grievances. If he did, he would inevitably be beaten again.

No wonder everyone is envious of working in Shangjun Courtyard. They are all servants, but the servants of Shangjun Courtyard are inexplicably higher than other servants. It is really the best residence for workers.

The servant lowered his head and thought for a while, then he understood what Zhao Teng meant, and said in a low voice: "My lord, haven't you always kept a distance from the banished immortal? Could it be that you also wanted to send me a list of names when you asked me to inquire about the information?"

After hearing this, Zhao Teng slapped him in the face and scolded: "You say you are stupid sometimes but you are still a bit clever. Can you guess what I am thinking?"

The servant covered half of his face, unable to react for a moment whether Mr. Zhao was scolding him or praising him.

Zhao Teng actually had this plan in mind, but it's all over now. If he could also compile a list of winemakers and send it over.

Although he could also harvest locust millet, his intention was too obvious. It was really against his original intention to let people know that Zhao Teng was fawning over Li Shui.

If you don't talk about it, you will be criticized by other ministers and you will have to give it a try.

Zhao Teng continued: "You don't need to worry about whether I will send you the list or not. Who is preparing the list and when will it be sent? This is what you have to inform me in advance."

The servant lay on the ground and whispered.

Zhao Teng said slowly: "Continue to see if there is any movement in Shangjun Courtyard, and report back at any time."

The servant responded in a low voice, turned around and hurried out.

Zhao Teng sat on the chair and murmured: "Did we really miss the opportunity to make a fortune this time?"

Then Zhao Teng laughed at himself, shook his head, and said: "It shouldn't be so unlucky. There will definitely be ministers who will stand up and oppose it."

······

On the second day, in front of the Yizheng Hall.

Mr. Qi changed his usual decadence and dressed up carefully to attend the morning court.

Li Shui and Li Xin also walked slowly over. After seeing Mr. Qi, they smiled at Li Xin and said, "Look at Mr. Qi, having a wife is different. You are so proud of yourself."

Li Xin also said: "It seems that the development of low-alcohol wine is quite effective. Mr. Qi is in a good mood."

Li Shui and Li Xin walked forward and greeted Mr. Qi.

In the past, Mr. Qi could not see Li Shui in his eyes, and he never responded to Li Shui's greetings.

Now that they have a cooperative relationship, Lord Qi had no choice but to turn around and give Li Shui and Li Xin his hands. He smiled unaccustomedly to Li Shui and waved hello.

Li Shui looked at Mr. Qi's smile that was uglier than crying, and said consolingly: "Sir Qi, relax, just get used to it. Don't feel any psychological burden if you become friends with me, Huai Guzi."

Some courtiers, especially Confucian scholars, were shocked to see Master Qi talking and laughing against Li Shui.

Not to mention some Confucian scholars, including Mr. Qi, who usually dislike Li Shui's cunning, cunning and disrespectful behavior.

Just because the servants in Lord Qi's house have just been investigated by Li Shui, they should at least have some complaints against Li Shui. Why are they still talking and laughing now?

It’s really a big joke in the world. It seems that from now on, I will gradually stay away from Mr. Qi.

Some Confucian scholars became more and more angry as they thought about it, but since they were so humble, Master Qi couldn't say anything, let alone offend Li Shui, so he could only watch quietly and remain silent.

At this time, Zhao Teng slowly walked over.

Li Shui raised his hands to Zhao Teng and said, "Brother Zhao, I didn't sleep well last night. Why are the bags under my eyes so heavy?"

Zhao Teng said: "I am no younger than Mr. Huai, so naturally I have heavier bags under my eyes."

Li Xin smiled and said casually: "Could it be that Mr. Zhao heard some news yesterday and regretted it all night long and didn't sleep."

Zhao Teng snorted coldly, ignored Li Xin, flicked his sleeves and walked forward.
