"It means planting flowers without blooming, and planting willows without blooming."

"If you are willing to plant flowers but don't bloom, if you are unintentionally plant willows and willows to form shade..." De Gong chewed for a while: "What a saying in seconds, all kinds of life are like this."

"It's not that great. I really planted flowers, so I just felt it."

"You playboy can also plant flowers?" the old man said funny, obviously not believing it.

Li Ye drank another drink, and the old man was very interesting: "Haha, can't the playboys grow flowers? You are really unreasonable. I planted my flowers but didn't plant them at your house."

"That's right, I'm Meng Lang, but you're not polite after drinking my wine." The girl quietly warmed them up, and the old man picked up the wine glass: "Look, do you want to reorganize this restaurant in the past few days?"

Li Ye nodded. Generally speaking, he would not reveal some things at will, especially key information, but this time it was different. The more people he knew, the better. Moreover, the old man was joking, and there was no sign of lying.

"Yes, I'm going to tell you that I haven't used it recently, so I'm in a hurry to make some money."

"Has the Xiao Palace been reduced to such a level..." Degong sighed, and then said: "The Xiao Palace was kind to me in the past, but now the Xiao Palace is so declining, I can't ignore it. You can think that reorganizing this restaurant is a good thing, at least it is a real thing, better than idleness. I am also aware of some people, and I can recommend more diners to you in the future, as a reward."

After hearing these words, Li Ye gave a higher evaluation of the old man named Degong, not because of his gratitude, but because of his way of dealing with things.

He said he helped but didn't ask him what he needed to help. He said he could help, and he would give him room to repay his kindness and take the initiative in his hand. It also means that he just repays his kindness and does not add psychological burden to Li Ye. This is very experienced in grasping and controlling, and such people usually hold high positions.

With a lot of mental thoughts, there was no strangeness on the surface. Li Ye smiled and said, "Then I will thank De Gong."

The old man was stunned for a moment, then laughed and stroked the white beard: "You kid, I thought you would refuse, even if you were humble, you wouldn't have the gaze of a gentleman."

Li Ye spread his hands: "If the gentleman's wind can be eaten as a food, I will give you all the restaurant, the gentleman's wind is what you, those who have no worries about food and clothing, and I am not that elegant."

The girl who was warm to drink seemed to have an objection and wanted to speak but stopped, but in the end she didn't say anything. Compared to De Gong, she was obviously afraid of Li Xingzhou.

"You boy..." Duke De shook his head: "Just just talk to me about these words, don't spread them everywhere. They are just cynical words. Don't think that's a big deal, be careful to bring disaster."

"I know, just kidding, but Degong doesn't need to introduce me to the guests. I want to ask you for something else."

De Gong drank a drink, "Oh, what do you want to tell me, I can see if I can help."

"It's actually simple." Li Ye said as he handed over the wine glass. The girl hesitated for a moment and poured wine for him. "Following the words and words of De Gong, he must be a wealthy family of officials and wealthy families. He has a great family and a great family. He must have a guard at home."

The old man nodded: "Do you want some people?"

"No, most of the guards are warriors, and it's not easy to go in the wind and rain. I think De Gong asked them to go to Wangjiang Tower west of the city to eat and drink every now and then this month, which is a reward." Li Ye said while tasting wine.

As soon as these words came out, both Degong and the girl were stunned.

"You... Could it be that I heard it wrong?" De Gong looked surprised and suspicious.

"I heard it right, this request is not too much. I just asked Degong to ask the guards to go to Wangjianglou for a good meal every now and then." Li Ye repeated again.

The girl finally couldn't help but speak: "What's the reason?"

Li Ye smiled and handed over the wine glass in his hand, but the girl did not pour him wine, so she had to say, "There are so many principles in this world, and some of them are hard to explain. Therefore, I will explain it to you when the time comes."

The girl frowned and said, "Give me a lesson from my mistake?"

Li Ye’s brain was so painful that he realized that this was a word from the Ming Dynasty, so it would be better not to use words randomly when chatting in the future: “It’s just that I understand the meaning of a truth when I go through something once. Can you pour me wine now?”

The girl's face turned slightly red, she quickly poured wine for him and whispered: "So he is really a playboy..."

Degong thought for a while, then said, "Okay, although you don't know what you mean, you must also know that although King Xiao is kind to me, I will only help you this time. You must not miss the opportunity. You have already thought about it."

Li Ye nodded without hesitation: "Thank you, Degong, but that's it."

"Okay, if you insist on doing this, I will help you once. I hope you will have a sense of your heart, not just playful." As he said that, he drank the wine in the glass.

Li Ye also had a drink with him. He had his own reasons for doing this, and these were far from enough.

He thought about it from the beginning that the guests had limited resources. If you want to get these resources, you must first set goals. Yongyue Pavilion is impossible, because it was started by the old man next door to the palace, a third-rank official of the court, a Hanlin Grand Secretary, and a sentenced to the Imperial College of Tokyo.

It is easy to imagine how many officials have been sent to the Imperial College with their toes. As the "principal" of this school, you can imagine how high prestige Chen Yu has. If you want to shake Yongyue Pavilion, you are against Chen Yu. If you don't know how many people you will offend if you go against him.

So his eyes were fixed on Wangjiang Tower. How could all the guests of Wangjiang Tower come to Tingyu Tower? This is a large-scale psychological operation. Li Ye had a general direction in his mind. It would be difficult to make the specific details, but it should be feasible...

After that, Li Ye chatted with the old man who claimed to be De Gong for a long time. This man has seen a lot and has visited many places, both from all over the country. Li Ye happened to have many questions to ask for advice. After all, he was not familiar with the world, so he asked questions, and the old man was happy to talk about what he saw and heard.

The two chatted very happily. He could see that the old man had a grove in his heart, and his words and demeanors revealed everyone's style everywhere. He spoke without sticking to secular rules and regulations, and was easy-going and natural, but he would not make people feel crazy or lose their majesty. The grasp of the measure is not something that ordinary people can achieve, nor can they be cultivated overnight.

If it weren't for Li Ye's previous life's experience, an ordinary person would have felt ashamed of himself after he told the old man for an hour or two, and he was so impressed that he was overwhelmed.

During the subsequent chat, he also knew that the girl was not his concubine, but his granddaughter, whose nickname was Ajiao. He was evil before, and he thought that the old cow ate young grass.

Compared to his grandfather, the girl has a lot of opinions about Li Xingzhou.

Li Ye is so smart. He can guess something based on his words and deeds. At first, he thought the girl was afraid of him, but later he realized that it was not fear, but not that he didn't like it. He deliberately avoided the specific manifestations of fear and not like it, but there were subtle differences between the two, and Li Ye could clearly distinguish it.
