"Aren't those merchants of very low status?"

As soon as Su Chengcheng said this, Li Xiuzhu was stunned. Although you think so, isn't it too straightforward to say it?

Li Xiuzhu thought for a moment and added, "I mean those whose families are not officials and have good earning ability."

So that's how it is.

Su Chengcheng thought about it after hearing this and said, "It seems that all the shops opened in the city are in line with Brother Xiuzhu's wishes."

“Except for the shops of the Fu family and the seven major families, most of them are dependent on us officials.”

"All they have to do is pay us money every year, so generally officials won't open their own shops."

"The shops of the seven major families are usually named with a prefix, such as Hedong Liji and Hexi Wangji."

Li Xiuzhu was delighted when he heard this, and then he came up with a plan.

Zuixianlou seems to be a good choice, so let’s start with it.

It was three o'clock in the afternoon when Li Xiuzhu got home. After he was busy marinating the meat, it was already four o'clock.

After Li Xiuzhu drank a cup of tea, Yin Ping came over and said, "Sir, the medicine for the princess is ready."

Li Xiuzhu was immediately alerted when he heard this and smiled.

Little girl, wait for your wolf grandma to come and eat you.

"Come on, take the medicine and we'll go feed the princess."

At this moment, Liuli's heart trembled, and she always felt as if something bad was going to happen.

Fu Yunshuang was talking to Li Liuli at this time. Li Liuli had no objection to Prime Minister Fu's family, including Li Xiuzhu.

She simply didn't want to marry Li Xiuzhu and wanted to marry her brother Cheng Yu.

She likes Fu Yunshuang even more, a girl who is no more than two years younger than her.

But at this moment, Fu Yunshuang's topic made her a little curious.

The two were talking about Li Xiuzhu. Listening to Fu Yunshuang talking about Li Xiuzhu's talent, she admired him.

But when it comes to eating, she is not convinced.

"Is Mr. Li's cooking so delicious? What a pity, my body cannot bear greasy food."

"But I think my sister is exaggerating a bit. There are countless royal chefs in our palace, and the delicious food is as numerous as the stars. Moreover, they are all experts in this, and that is the real delicacy."

Suddenly Fu Yunshuang felt dissatisfied.

"Humph, you haven't tasted the delicious food cooked by my brother-in-law, so why do you say that my brother-in-law's food is not as delicious as the one cooked by the palace?"

"My brother-in-law said that if you don't have personal experience, you don't have the right to speak."

Without personal experience, you have no right to speak? This really makes sense.

Just then, Li Xiuzhu and Yinping came in with medicine.

"Yun Shuang is here too. How is the restaurant's decoration going?"

Fu Yunshuang was also very happy to see Li Xiuzhu. Li Xiuzhu had been very busy during this period and she rarely saw Li Xiuzhu.

"It's almost done. It will probably be done in a few days."

After all, it’s just a renovation and some changes, it won’t take too long.

Li Xiuzhu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll make sure my brother-in-law is the first customer of your new store."

When Fu Yunshuang heard this, I couldn't hold back the smile on her face.

"Brother-in-law, we have a deal. Pinky promise."

Li Xiuzhu didn't think it was childish and hooked his fingers with Fu Yunshuang.

"You, you said your child didn't admit it, how can an adult hook a finger, right?"

"Brother-in-law, you are bullying me. I am already an adult. Not counting this year, I will be old enough to get married in the coming year."

"Actually, it's not impossible now."

Li Xiuzhu's mouth twitched when he heard this. Who was he talking to? Wasn't he talking to him? But he really couldn't do this.

Although it is not illegal in this era, people in the next few hundred years will not be interested in watching this.

"Don't think too much, just wait for your coming of age."

As he spoke, Li Xiuzhu looked at Li Liuli and smiled gently.

"Da Lang..."

"Sorry, I said the wrong thing, Princess, drink your medicine."

Li Liuli always felt that something bad was going to happen whenever her eye twitched, and this time it was her right eye that twitched, which meant there was going to be a disaster.

"Ahem, Mr. Li, leave it here to cool down. Liuli will drink it soon."

Hearing this, Li Xiuzhu smiled gently and sat down beside the bed.

"But you're afraid of the heat?"

"Indeed, although the decoction should be taken while hot, it can't be too hot."

"But it's not a big deal. I'll feed you."

As Li Xiuzhu spoke, he took the medicine bowl, scooped a spoonful, blew on it a few times, and then passed it to Li Liuli.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Li Liuli immediately understood that Li Xiuzhu wanted to watch her take the medicine.

But she is not really sick. Who would want to drink this if she can avoid it?

"Mr. Li, why don't you just wait a while, or go out first, I'll change my clothes and the temperature will be about right, you can drink it then."

Li Xiuzhu frowned when he heard this and asked suspiciously, "Princess, are you pretending to be sick?"

"It seems that Doctor Wang's medical skills are not very good. How about I ask my friend to take the princess' pulse?"

Li Liuli was suddenly paralyzed. Although he was confident that he could hide the secret from some people, if he checked everyone, he might not be able to keep it hidden.

Asshole, he really made me angry. Could he have discovered something?

Li Liuli's mind raced as he spoke, "Mr. Li, you are joking. If you don't believe me, you can ask someone to come and see for yourself."

"Since Master Li wants to feed me medicine so much, I have no choice but to trouble Master Li."

Hey, the little girl used me? It seems that my defense has been broken.

Li Xiuzhu didn't care and put the spoon to Li Liuli's mouth again.

At this time, Fu Yunshuang was jealous. She had not yet been fed medicine by her brother-in-law, but an outsider had gotten it first.

Yinping didn't care. She had a clear understanding of her status. All she had to do was not to fight or compete and to serve her son-in-law well.

But Li Liuli, who had taken a sip of the medicine at this time, had no illusion of being jealous at all.

At this moment, her facial features were wrinkled.

What's going on? Why is it so bitter?

It was as if a mouthful of bitter melon with a bunch of strange seasonings was stuffed into her mouth, and she couldn't stand it after just one bite.

What an extremely bitter taste.

"What's going on? Why is it so bitter? Did I cook the wrong medicine?"

It's no wonder Li Liuli asked this. This medicine is completely different from the one I drank before.

Li Xiuzhu smiled harmlessly upon hearing this.

"Yes, I added four more herbs to the medicine and told the princess about it. Could it be that the princess forgot?"

"And Princess, you are exaggerating. It's not that bitter. If you don't believe me, just watch."

Li Xiuzhu said as he scooped up a spoonful and drank it, with a blank expression on his face the whole time. Li Liuli even had an illusion watching him.

Did he and I drink the same thing just now? "Be good, good medicine tastes bitter."

Li Liuli had a look of burden on her face. I really can't do this. This is beyond the scope of medicine.

"No, this is too bitter, how about I just drink the previous prescription?"

"No, this is more effective."

Li Liuli realized that Li Xiuzhu was deliberately trying to make trouble for her.

Li Liuli immediately became angry.

"Okay, then you drink with me. I take a sip and you take a sip. If you can't drink anymore, don't force me to drink anymore."

I was sick yesterday, so I will update as normal today. I will make up for what I owe in two days. 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
