Ling Xiyan became more and more happy when she heard this. Her daughter was incredibly beautiful and her son was handsome and had fame and status at that time. Then her aunt would definitely be granted the imperial edict by the emperor. Otherwise, her daughter would be the princess and the son would be the court official. What's the matter with a concubine!

Ling Xiyan talked about the business in the shop again. At the same time, in Su Li's yard, the eldest aunt and the second aunt came in with a plate of gold and jade inlaid. After giving gifts to her, she told her that this was a gift from the eldest aunt and the second aunt to Su Li.

Su Li blinked her beautiful eyes, Mu Xiang brought the gift over and placed it in front of her. Su Li picked up the tea set and looked at it, and then saw the marks in Ling Xiyan's shop at the bottom.

On the surface, this tea set is really exquisite. Su Li picked up the teacup and put it in the light and looked at it carefully.

"The price of this tea set should not be cheap, but it only looks delicate on the surface, but it is vulnerable inside."

Su Li pointed to one of the patterns, then turned around and talked to Mu Xiang.

"Go and bring out my tea set from Jingyao."

"yes."

Mu Xiang hurriedly turned around and took out the set of tea. The two sets of tea sets were placed together. The people looked at each other carefully. It would be fine if they didn't look at it. When they saw that the faces changed. The eldest lady's set was obviously more gentle and brighter, the patterns were more refined, and the layers were more distinct. Su Li pointed out that there was a clear difference between the two sets.

The servants suddenly felt embarrassed and blushed. You looked at me, I looked at you, kneeling in front of Su Li, and didn't know what to do. Su Li looked at the mark in Ling Xiyan's shop and smiled slightly.

"No wonder you guys, get up. My aunt probably doesn't know that there is such a problem. Take the things back and give my set to my aunt."

The maid dared not say anything, so she hurriedly got up and brought a set of tea sets to walk back. Su Li gave Muxiang a wink, and Muxiang sent someone to follow them out. Half an hour later, she came back to report and said that she had heard the sound of something falling inside soon, and then the eldest aunt led the person out angrily.

Su Li smiled, and with her aunt's straightforward temperament, she would be relieved if she had to return all the things and not pay her money.

The time gradually darkened, and the dinner was about to begin. It was difficult for my aunt to delay the dinner, so Su Li asked the secret guards to send some people to help my aunt build momentum, and she had to win.

Liuying stood at the door holding the sword and listening to the lady's instructions, curled her lips, came back and put down the sword and sat down next to her, took something out of her arms and handed it to her.

"What? There is news from Luo Mansion?"

When I opened it, I saw a snow jade hairpin with red plums. The red plum blossoms were vivid and vivid, and a trace of joy flashed through Su Li's eyes. Now it is winter and the season for cold plum blossoms to bloom.

"Thank you."

As he was talking, Mama Xu led everyone in with a smile, lifted many cages, put them in front of her and opened them one by one, and then delivered the booklet to her hands.

"Miss, these are the New Year gifts given to the ladies by various governments and families. There are too many, so I made a book and registered it before submitting it."

Su Li looked at the boxes of gold and silver jewelry, beads and flower shaking, silk and satin, etc. In front of her, she saw a trace of dullness flashing in Liuying's eyes. She smiled and raised her hand to put Liuying's hairpin on her head, blinking her eyes and said seriously.

"Let's go and tell the prince yourself that you gave me a hairpin."

Liuying smiled, nodded and said ok, glanced at the dazzling red plum on her temples, and felt suddenly better. He had no money and could not afford any valuable things, but the eldest lady was very happy.

"You can do it, pick some and give it to everyone, including the secret guards, each of whom will give you one hundred taels of silver. You, Liuying, the shopkeeper in the store, the first-class maid, the first-class secret guards, and the others are one hundred taels, you can do it as well, as long as you don't leave anyone behind."

"As for the clothes, shoes and socks in the spring, the medicine for common minor illnesses, and whether their place of residence is intact, we must let Runzhi take care of the clothes. The clothes are registered and prepared by Manager Zhong. Once the cold water passes, the spring will begin."

After saying that, he turned to look at Liuying.

"The land we bought outside can be rented to farmers for the time being. If you think it is necessary, you can also build a batch of houses first. The power will always grow gradually. I want more and more people to enter my power. People can carry boats or overturn them. Moreover, the land these farmers help us grow will be used for the soldiers in the future. The war between countries will begin sooner or later."

"good."

Liuying took a little note and was shocked. The things the lady did seemed to be scattered, but they were preparing for the future. Once the country was in trouble and the creatures were in trouble, they would definitely be the safest one.

"In addition to the land at Yumen Pass, we have also bought a large amount of land at the border closest to various countries. However, the people there have been relatively fewer surnames, so there are probably not enough people to grow food."

"It's okay, I will ask the emperor to ask him to hire soldiers from the frontier to train troops and farm."

Liuying frowned slightly. If it were normal, the emperor would not agree to do this, but it would not be necessary if the lady took action. Maybe the emperor would also praise the lady for her intelligence.

"I have written to my uncle and cousin on the other side of Hongtong Pass. In addition, I have sent 200,000 taels of silver to let them develop on their own. It should be effective soon. Don't underestimate King Yan and King Qi, their power is not under us."

Liuying nodded. Since ancient times, the kings have been prepared early, just waiting for the troops to seize power. Once the war begins, there will be sounds of war everywhere. I just don’t know when Yan Yun will start to plunder.

How short and meaningless is a person living for a lifetime!

But when you come, you have to live like a person!

"Miss, Princess Fengqi's Mansion, Princess Qi's Mansion, Princess Jia's Mansion, Princess Han's Mansion, and Princess Fengqi all sent gifts."

Su Li turned around and looked at Liuying in surprise. Princess Fengqi? Princess Fengqi? She had never met Princess Fengqi before. Princess Fengqi was never right. Why did she do this? After seeing the gifts they sent, Su Li touched her forehead and asked her mother Xu to go down and prepare, and returned the gifts the same as the gift list.
