Three days later, the news came, Jia Shijun, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, submitted a letter to resign. The reason for resigning was that the old mother at home was sick, and he wanted to return to his hometown to serve the disease and fulfill his filial piety.

The emperor allowed to resign and praised Jia Shijun in the court for his filial piety, which was considered to be a sufficient face.

But anyone with discerning eyes knows why Jia Shijun retired. He has reached the point where he cannot do so. He either resigns himself or waits for Dali Temple to investigate him.

Jia Shijun hurriedly said goodbye to Ye Di, and Ye Di sighed: "After returning home, he strictly restrained his children, and he must not repeat the same mistakes."

Jia Shijun was ashamed and left Beijing early the next morning.

But halfway through the way, they met the bandits. Jia Shijun, along with his nephew Jia Tingfang, his eldest son Jia Tingxiu, and all the men in the family died of unlawful death.

When the news reached the capital, everyone in the court was shocked, and some even secretly suspected that it was the emperor who was attacking.

Is the emperor going to attack his old ministers?

After Chai Yan heard about it, he came to see the prince and asked, "Brother, did you do this?"

The prince slapped him in the head: "Is it what you can guess even?

Chai Yan thought about it, so he was, his elder brother never showed any water when doing things.

"Yes, it's so reckless, it's like the third brother did it."

The third prince, who had just returned from the official room, came in and heard it, and slapped Chai Yan in the head again: "Who are you talking about being reckless?"

Chai Yan blinked his eyes, looked at the eldest brother, and then at the third brother, and continued to speak nonstop: "Is it our father who did it?"

The prince was so angry that he lost his temper and said, "Okay, let me leave this matter to you to check. No matter who did it, as long as you find out, the elder brother will be rewarded."

"If it is found out that it was our father who did it, will there be rewards?" Chai Yan asked sincerely.

The third prince couldn't help laughing. Chai Yan glared at him, and the third prince covered his mouth.

The prince said seriously: "As long as you do this job well, you will be rewarded by your elder brother."

Chai Yanhuan took on the errand happily, and the third prince said to the prince: "Brother, don't spoil him so much."

The prince glared at him: "Do you want me to spoil you?"

Chai Yan laughed loudly, the third prince chased and beat him, and the two brothers fought and made a fuss to the East Palace.

The prince looked at their backs and smiled and shook his head.

Chai Yan left the palace and refused the invitation from the third prince to take him to drink. He plunged into Jia Shijun's case and left the capital the next day.

Yan Xuehuai is not lonely either. She has guests, and Li Baohuai is here.

"I heard that the marriage between Luo Fang and his family was ruined." Li Baohuai sat down and got to the point, which was also her style.

Yan Xuehuai didn't know about this, but she was not surprised at all: "Who mentioned it first? Luo family or Fang family?"

Li Baohuai smiled and said, "It's the Fang family. After learning about Mr. Luo and Jia Tingfang, Miss Fang clamored to leave the bride. It is said that the Fang family did not agree. Later, Jia Shijun retired. The Fang family was worried that they would be involved, so they finally agreed to leave the bride."

Now that Mr. Luo lives alone in the capital, he originally wanted to withdraw from the marriage. Since the Fang family proposed it, he would agree at once.

Yan Xuehuai sighed: "But in this way, I don't know if the wine brand of the Luo family can be kept."

Li Baohuai said: "The Luo family is different from our Li family. They have a big business. The winery is just a side job. If you don't do winery, there are still many businesses to do. The reason I came to you is because the Luo family sent someone to find me."

Yan Xuehuai's head flashed with inspiration, and she asked, "The Luo family wants to sell wine?"

Li Baohuai nodded: "They can't keep the wine brand, so they want to cooperate with me."

"Is Mr. Luo Si's people coming?" Yan Xuehuai asked again.

"Smart, you are so smart, you can see through it at a glance," Li Baohuai praised, "The one who came to Master Luo Si is the one who is here. I'm afraid even Master Luo doesn't know about this."

"I'm talking to you about this business, and I rely on the Cao Gang's ships. What is the Luo family relying on? The winery? There are winery in your town, but there are no shortage of the Luo family's carriages. Even if the Luo family has a caravan, it cannot be compared with the Cao Gang. Moreover, as far as I know, the Luo family does not have its own caravan."

Yan Xuehuai said this, paused and suddenly asked, "Did the Luo family want to marry your Li family like they did with the Fang family?"

Papa, Li Baohuai applauded, and she looked at Yan Xuehuai: "Little sister, you can guess it right, how did your head grow?"

Yan Xuehuai smiled and said, "Is it really a marriage? If you are Mr. Luo, don't agree."

"It's not Mr. Luo, but Mr. Luo's father." Li Baohuai smiled.

Yan Xuehuai almost bounced up from the chair: "Young Master Luo's father? Master Luo Si?"

"Yes, Mr. Luo Si wants to ask me to marry me and let me be the head wife of the Luo family and be the stepmother of Mr. Luo." Li Baohuai said.

"How old is Mr. Luo Si?" Yan Xuehuai grinned half of the corner of her mouth.

"At the age of thirty-eight, his wife died early, and had a legitimate son, a concubine son, and five concubine daughters, of which the concubine was only three years old. He had no concubine, but four concubines. If I promised this marriage, he would send all four concubines away and promise not to take concubines or carry them. If I gave birth to a male, my son would let him inherit the family business in the future."

When Li Baohuai said this, he smiled slightly and said to Yan Xuehuai: "Do you find it incredible?"

Yan Xuehuai nodded. In her opinion, this situation would only happen to rich old men and poor girls, but Li Baohuai is not a poor girl, she is the descendant of the Li family winery and the head of the Li family generation.

In addition, Li Baohuai is also young and beautiful.

Mr. Luo Si is just a rich old widower, not to mention that there are a lot of illegitimate sons and daughters in the family, as well as a eldest son with misconduct.

Why is he?

Li Baohuai sighed: "I came to you to sign a contract with you in advance. If the Li family gets the liquor license, our two envoys will start to cooperate. If the Li family can't get the liquor license in the end, then the Li family can no longer make wine, or have to rely on other wineries. In that case, our contract will be invalidated."

Yan Xuehuai blinked: "You are worried that Master Luo Si will split into two groups. While proposing marriage with you, he also sent someone to the Li family. The Li family, your elders, will most likely agree to this marriage, so you want to be ahead, sign a contract with my family, and break up Mr. Luo Si's thoughts?"

Li Baohuai smiled bitterly: "You guessed it again, I do think so. The relatives in my family want me to get married. Although I am the chief minister, they are my elders."

The elders have the right to interfere in the marriage of the younger generation, even if Li Baohuai's mother is still alive.
