After Liu Xi and the guard left, Wang Fugui thought of walking up to Li Xiuzhu.

"Don't be offended, Lord Li. I am doing this for my own safety."

"I understand. After all, it's a large sum of money. It's better to be cautious."

"I'm glad you understand. I've also decided on a seventh-grade model."

Wang Fugui paused and continued, "As for the official position, please help me choose it. I only have one request, a sinecure is fine. As you can see, I still have business to do."

Li Xiuzhu nodded upon hearing this.

"I'll arrange it for you within three days after receiving the deposit."

Wang Fugui smiled from the bottom of his heart when he heard that. At this moment, there was a knock on the door and the waiter came.

"Master Li, please enjoy. I will go and prepare some things."

Li Xiuzhu understood as soon as he heard it. Wang Fugui was going to get the money now.

"Master Wang, please do as you please."

Sir? The waiter was startled. Not everyone can use the word Sir.

But this matter is not about him as a waiter.

The first thing Wang Fugui did after leaving was to go home and open his secret room.

This secret room contains not only banknotes, but also countless gold, silver and jewelry.

Wang Fugui didn't even look at the gold and silver. He picked up a dozen silver bills, counted 8, thought about it, hesitated for a moment, and took out another one.

Only half of the deposit needs to be paid, and the extra part will naturally belong to Li Xiuzhu.

If he was a 9th rank official, he would have been fined 5,000 taels in the early stage, but for a 7th rank official, 5,000 taels was not enough.

After packing the banknotes, Wang Fugui came to Zuixianlou again with the huge sum of money.

At this time, the shopkeeper was confused. What was his master doing? He ran so many times a day. Is Lord Li so powerful? As he thought, the boss went to the Peony Pavilion again.

Li Xiuzhu was not surprised to see Wang Fugui come in, after all, he had already guessed the answer.

"Sir, this is 90,000 taels of silver, 80,000 of which is a deposit, and the remaining 70,000 taels will be delivered to your residence as soon as the official position is confirmed."

Li Xiuzhu was slightly stunned, then immediately understood that this was a kickback.

This is not a big problem. Not to mention him, even the eunuchs in the palace have to be paid bribes if you want to employ them.

However, small eunuchs were usually sent away with just a few taels of silver.

It’s on the right track. I like it.

"By the way, Lord Wang, do you know any other wealthy merchants in Shangjing who want to buy an official position?"

"Your Majesty has given me a total of ten places."

Ten places, that’s a lot.

But when I think about it, it's just below the seventh rank, so it's okay.

"That's true. I'll list a few of them later for you to see, sir."

"good."

Li Xiuzhu thought about it and did not leave Zuixianlou in the afternoon. He arranged for a few waiters to call the fifteen people on the list together, but he did not say what it was.

After the fifteen people arrived, he met them one by one in the next room.

Things went better than expected.

Li Xiuzhu originally thought that at least a few people would not buy it, but he did not expect that these people were so obsessed with official positions.

The least they bought was a ninth-grade idle position, and some even sold a seventh-grade external position.

Although he only wanted to sell ten copies at first, he was not panicked at all after selling fifteen copies.

When Li Xiuzhu got home, he was stunned to see Li Liuli chatting with Fu Yunshuang in the yard. She looked much better, finally not as pale as powder.

"Why are you up today?"

Hearing Li Xiuzhu's voice, Li Liuli smiled softly, looking three points softer than Xishi.

"Maybe it's because Master Li took good care of her, so Liuli recovered faster."

Li Xiuzhu nodded when he heard this, and it didn't matter what the excuse was.

Li Xiuzhu's mouth curled up slightly. Hasn't the fish started to bite the hook? He turned around and was about to change his clothes when he heard Li Liuli continue to ask: "Mr. Li, Liuli is in good health and needs to take a tonic. May I ask if there is anything delicious today?"

The little guy is a little shrewd, but you can always tell what he's thinking at a glance.

But we can't suppress them too much. After a blow, we have to give them some sweet rewards.

Li Xiuzhu stepped forward upon hearing this.

"Stick out your tongue so I can see the coating on it."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Look at the tongue coating? Li Liuli frowned slightly, and suddenly remembered that this bastard had some medical skills, but why didn't he look at it a few days ago? Instead, he looked at it after he was exposed?

Don't you know if I'm sick?

Although confused, Li Liuli still stuck out her tongue.

The bright red tongue didn't look sick at all. Li Xiuzhu didn't let Li Liuli go just like that. He grabbed Li Liuli's tongue in a lightning speed.

Li Liuli froze for a moment. What the hell? I'm worth a million dollars, how dare you do this?

The slightly salty taste spread on the taste buds on the tongue, making Li Liuli a little confused.

But this confusion only lasted for a second, and the next second Li Liuli immediately reacted.

“Ugh, ah~uh~ah~ah!”

"Don't move. Let me see the thickness of your tongue coating."

As Li Xiuzhu spoke, he swallowed his tears. This little pink tongue really made people want to taste it.

But it’s not enough, just be greedy for now! Li Xiuzhu’s words did not stop Li Liuli from resisting. Seeing that he was not doing anything, Li Liuli stretched out her hand and hit Li Xiuzhu.

But at this moment, Li Xiuzhu seemed to have pressed the button of radar, allowing Li Liuli to move, but was stopped.

On the contrary, because of the noise they made, her fingers were moving around on her tongue, which was extremely uncomfortable.

Bastard, bastard, bastard, how dare you treat me like this? If I catch you, I will make you live a life worse than death.

Li Liuli stopped moving and glared at Li Xiuzhu with hatred.

Iris, who was standing by, was stunned until the two of them stopped, then she reacted.

"Mr. Li, please let go. How can you treat the princess like this?"

Li Xiuzhu looked at it and said, "There are no chopsticks. We can only look at it like this."

As he spoke, looking at Li Liuli who had stopped struggling, Li Xiuzhu's interest in playing waned and he let go of Li Liuli.

Li Liuli was just about to open her mouth and scold him when she heard Li Xiuzhu say, "It seems that the tongue coating is almost healed. You can eat something good now."

Li Liuli was delighted when she heard that. She swallowed the curse that was about to come out of her mouth and couldn't help but reveal a happy look on her face.

But before she could be happy for more than a second, she heard Li Xiuzhu continue: "But you should still be careful, this happens to be prone to indigestion recurrence, just eat half of Yunshuang's meal size."

Li Liuli's smile froze on her face. She looked at the girl who was only one or two years younger than her and was speechless. How much can this little Gabadou eat? It was only half of the rice.

Li Liuli quickly said, "I'm almost well now. I'm really hungry."

Li Liuli felt that she could still struggle.
