Fang Yaoyi happened to be in Hundred Fragrance Square today to check the accounts. The news of the fire in Du Wine House reached her ears immediately.
He held down the anxious Su Xiaoshan and instructed her to look after the business of Hundred Fragrance Square.
He arrived at the Li family's courtyard.
Li Qin was currently busy mixing the drinks, and when he saw Fang Yaoyi, he naturally welcomed her warmly.
He washed his hands and called Fang Yaoyi to sit down.
Fang Yaoyi blinked her beautiful eyes as she asked about the wine house.
She had thought that after experiencing such a thing, Li Qin would be extremely angry, but it was the opposite of what she had expected.
Although Li Qin didn't have the usual spring breeze smile today, his appearance was still calm, and there was no sign of dissatisfaction.
When he mentioned the wine shop again, Li Qin only smiled and said that it was a pity, but the natural disaster could not be avoided.
Hearing his words, Fang Yaoyi was stunned, her large eyes staring at Li Qin.
"Miss Fang, is there something on my face?" Li Qin asked curiously.”
Fang Yaoyi didn't show any emotion as she shook her head and said,"Nothing."
"I'm just curious. Why is Young Master so good-looking?”
Li Qin sighed and said seriously,"I think it should be because my parents are outstanding.”
"Miss Fang can't be envious."
Fang Yaoyi was speechless.
You're panting after a compliment. Although this lady isn't considered to be devastatingly beautiful, she's still considered a beauty!
She cleverly concealed her emotions and changed the topic, saying,""Young Master Li, there's something I don't know if I should tell you.”
Li Qin raised his eyebrows. Miss Fang, please say it."
Fang Yaoyi's expression was solemn as she said: " Yesterday, you and Hou Yulan had just become enemies. Today, the wine shop caught fire.”
"According to my guess, these two things are not unrelated.”
"Hou Yulan is very petty. Young Master must be more careful in the future.”
"I will tell my father the truth about what happened today.”
From his words, it seemed that Fang Manor was on Li Qin's side.
Hearing this, Li Qin smiled indifferently." I know what to do. Just let her come."”
Fang Yaoyi looked at Li Qin and suddenly burst into laughter, saying,""Then I was thinking too much. With Young Master's intelligence, I think he should have guessed it long ago.”
Li Qin smiled without saying anything.
In fact, he had already made plans last night. He just didn't expect Hou Yulan to be so impatient.
Enemies overnight, the next day to report.
It was somewhat unexpected.
Fang Yaoyi thought about it, since Young Master already had a countermeasure, then she couldn't say anything.
She could only ask her father to help her secretly.
Therefore, she avoided this matter and said,"Since Young Master already knows, Yao Yi will not ask any further.”
"Yesterday, Young Master told me about the rental. I have already sent someone to help me find a place. It is opposite the Hundred Fragrance Square.”
"It has three floors and three courtyards at the back. It is quite spacious.”
"As for the rent, fifty silver taels a year.”
She had hidden the rent here. Although the Hundred Fragrance Square was in Xi City, its location was excellent. It was located on the busiest street in Xi City.
There was a three-story gatehouse with a courtyard, and the rent was eighty taels of silver.
This was the price she had negotiated with her identity as the daughter of the Fang family. As for the extra thirty taels, she had paid for it herself.
She had her own plans for this. She had personally tasted Li Qin's wine and knew that if this restaurant opened.
Business was definitely booming, and there were many dignitaries and nobles coming and going.
With the increase in customer flow, the business of Hundred Fragrance Square would definitely benefit from it, and its profits would rise to a higher level.
Li Qin was well aware of this, but he didn't want to expose it. He kept this friendship in mind." Thank you, Miss Fang. I wonder if you can bring the lease over. I'll sign it now."”
Fang Yaoyi covered her mouth and chuckled,"Why don't you go and take a look at the house?"”
"I'm absolutely at ease since Miss Fang personally chose them."”
Li Qin actually did not have any special requirements for renting a house. As long as the location was good, it was fine.
As for the decoration, he didn't like it.
He had already made up his mind to renovate it, so he didn't mind.
Now that Du Wine House was destroyed, he just wanted to get the house as soon as possible and start renovating it so that he could open it as soon as possible.
When Fang Yaoyi heard Li Qin's words and saw the youth's honest face, she was even more moved. She did not hesitate and took the lease from her purse,"Take a look. If there's anything that doesn't make sense, I'll make changes.”
"If there's no problem, I'll hand it over to the dental clinic after you sign and the lease will take effect.”
After Li Qin received it, he looked at it and found nothing wrong. He immediately signed it and handed it to Fang Yaoyi.
Fang Yaoyi kept the lease, as if she had thought of something, the corners of her lips curled up into a beautiful smile as she teased,""Young Master Li, I seem to have heard that your courtyard is surrounded by women.”
"Young Master is so charming.”
Of course, she knew what this group of people was up to. At this time, she was only bringing it up to tease Li Qin.
Li Qin's forehead was full of black lines.'You're asking the obvious.' He smiled and said,"It's not worth mentioning."
"Compared to Miss Fang's smile, it paled in comparison.”
"A hundred flowers are not as beautiful as a peony.”
These words were really bold.
Even with Fang Yaoyi's personality, she could not help but blush as she bid farewell in a panic.
Li Qin looked at Fang Yaoyi who was fleeing in a panic, the corners of his mouth lightly smiling.
Little brat, you're blushing just like that?
You want to bicker with me with this little skill?
This ancient woman was still thin-skinned.
With my tongue, I'll lick you until you're clear.
At this time, Du Ruhui had already arrived at Taiji Palace. However, his trusted eunuch told him that the Emperor was resting and that he was not to be disturbed.
Du Ruhui was slightly startled. Why was he sleeping so early in the morning?
Seeing Du Ruhui's puzzled face, the trusted eunuch thought for a moment and said in a low voice,""Lord Du, yesterday was the High Yuan Festival.”
Du Ruhui was stunned at first, but in the blink of an eye, he had an answer.
Yesterday was Shangyuan Festival, a day of reunion.
What was a reunion? That was a family gathering, but His Majesty was not a family gathering.
The answer was obvious. His Majesty missed his son.
When he turned around and left, Du Ruhui looked relaxed. Since the Emperor had personally gone, he would definitely know about the wine tavern.
However, even so, he still had to follow and take a look.
After all, with His Majesty's status, some things were not easy to do.
On the other side, Li Qin sent Fang Yaoyi off and was about to return to the backyard to get busy.
Then, she heard hurried footsteps.
"Child, child, are you injured anywhere?”
Aunt Sun had a worried look on her face. She held Li Qin's hand and looked left and right. There was indeed no sign of injury. Only then did she heave a sigh of relief.
Li Qin was extremely puzzled." Old Li, Aunt Sun, why are you here?”
Seeing that Ba 'er was fine, Li Shiming heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile,"I've been busy with business these days. It's not easy for me to relax, so I thought of your wine.”
"I brought Furen to the wine shop and found out about the fire.”
"We were a little worried, so we asked for the address and came to see you.”
At noon today, Li Shimin remembered that Empress Zhangsun was worried about her son. After the morning court, he went to the wine shop with Empress Zhangsun.
However, Du Wine House had already been burned to ashes. After asking about it and learning about this matter, he hurriedly rushed over.
Li Qin smiled and explained,"When the wine shop caught fire, I wasn't on the boat, so I wasn't injured."”
"You haven't eaten yet, right? Coincidentally, I'm a little hungry too."
"I'll go prepare some food and wine. Let's talk while eating.”
Empress Zhangsun was worried and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Li Shimin.
"Bring me some cold wine." Li Shimin urged.”
Suddenly, he felt the resentful gaze of the Guanyin maid beside him and quickly said,"Also, scoop some Qian Jin Drunk for your YiNiang.”
Li Qin held back his laughter and said,"I know. I guarantee that you'll eat and drink well."”
After Li Qin returned to the backyard, Empress Zhangsun sighed and said,""Erlang, when I saw Ba 'er, I felt sorry for him.”
"This child isn't rich to begin with, and now that the wine tavern is on fire, Ba 'er is feeling very depressed.”
"Compared to Qian 'er's pampered life, my heart feels like it's being pricked by needles.”
Li Shimin looked at Empress Zhangsun with pity and comforted her,""Only by suffering the most hardship can one become a superior person.”
"Ba 'er, this child, has brought me too many surprises. I also like this child from the bottom of my heart.”
If it wasn't for the fact that he was worried about the crown prince and didn't know what Ba 'er was thinking, he would have summoned Li Chen into the palace long ago.
She acknowledged his status as a royal descendant.
Empress Zhangsun poured a cup of tea for Li Shimin and said,""Erlang, I know you have plans to help Ba 'er become famous.”
"But no matter how famous the court is, Ba 'er is still suffering.”
"Didn't you say you wanted to reward him last time? Why don't you find an opportunity to give him some gold and silver?”
"Don't let this child suffer anymore.”
Li Shiming nodded. He naturally couldn't say this, so he could only let Du Ruhui convey it.
After all, Du Ruhui had heard about the scheme from Ba 'er, so he could only borrow his hand to reward him.
Seeing that the Emperor had agreed, Empress Zhangsun felt a little happier. She changed the topic and asked curiously,""Erlang, why do you think this wine tavern caught fire?”
"It's fine if it's dry in summer, but Chang 'an has been snowing heavily these days and it's extremely humid.”
In fact, Li Shimin was also a little confused. He had heard Du Ruhui mention that the Du Wine Shop had been open for two to three months on Yong 'an Canal.
There had been no accidents, but the next day, a fire suddenly broke out in Chang 'an.
Although Ba 'er said that there was an accidental fire, who was Li Shimin?
He knew that someone wanted to harm Ba 'er.
Investigate, we must investigate to the end.
Just as the two of them were talking, the Li family's door was suddenly kicked open.
"Which one is Li Qin? Hurry up and confess."
A rough man's voice was heard.
Li Shimin and his wife looked suspiciously at the source of the voice.
He saw a few people in mourning pushing a cart behind the delinquent in official robes.
The cart was covered with a layer of straw mat. Judging from the shape, it should be a corpse.
Li Shiming and his wife's pupils contracted. Someone died?
