Chapter 172: Planning for Brothers

Luo Li has realized the saying that debts must be repaid.

This time, she went to Jiangnan for only more than half a month. She enjoyed a few days of sightseeing and laziness, and also experienced a life-threatening danger. After returning to the capital, she has accumulated too many things to be busy with.

Fortunately, Ruhua, Tingting and Yingchun are very capable in business matters, helping Luo Ning to manage them in an orderly manner.

Luo Cong has also returned from Jiangnan to make osmanthus essential oil, and the workshop on the farm is running in an orderly manner. The second brother, this playboy, has really turned over a new leaf, and managed the canned food and mahjong business very well! After

the affairs of the Qin Palace were dealt with, Luo Li returned to her mother's house to get close to her parents, brothers and sisters-in-law. He also sent an invitation to Chuanran Hotpot City to invite Kou Zhun, Cao Wei, and Gao Yingxiong to get in touch with each other.

Kou Zhun lived up to expectations and passed the imperial examination. He was also selected as the second runner-up in the palace examination and was just waiting for his job assignment.

Under the strong promotion of Mr. Luo, Kou Zhun, Cao Wei, and Gao Yingxiong put aside their past grudges and became close friends who were like brothers.

Cao Wei was smart and witty. He understood the intention of the Princess of Qin and tried his best to make friends with Kou Zhun.

During these days, the three people who had similar personalities and appreciated each other often traveled together, drank and had parties, and their feelings became deeper.

The three people who received Mr. Luo's invitation came to Chuanran Hotpot City early.

The little book boy Kou An had thrown away his walking stick. Hearing that it was Master Luo who was treating him, he had to follow his master to the banquet no matter what.

Kou Zhun, Cao Wei, and Gao Yingxiong sat in the "Mei" private room reserved for distinguished guests, sipping tea and chatting happily.

: "My teacher's children are all outstanding. The eldest son, Brother Wen'an, is knowledgeable, talented, gentle and elegant. The second son, Brother Wenhao, is handsome, unrestrained and bold.

Although I have never seen my teacher's daughter, the Princess Qin, she must be an extremely intelligent woman to be able to make those magical perfumes and shampoos, as well as the delicious food, fine wine and fragrant tea in this hot pot city. She is definitely not the fool as rumored by the outside world.

It's just that I have never seen the Princess Qin in person in these few times I have been in and out of Luo Mansion. I wonder what kind of unique and extraordinary woman the Princess Qin is?" Kou Zhun said with emotion while sipping the fragrant tea.

Cao Wei, who knew the inside story of the Princess of Qin, smiled slightly, "Brother Kou is right. The Princess of Qin is a

rare talent among men, a wise person who appears foolish despite her great wisdom. The funny thing is that too many people in the capital are ignorant of the truth and have spread the reputation of the silly Princess to everyone. This situation of fools mocking the wise is really hilarious.

My brother and I have met the Princess of Qin once in the palace. The Princess of Qin is not only stunningly beautiful, but also has a carefree and unrestrained temperament, is not fussy about trivial matters, and is extremely intelligent. She is a rare woman in this world!"

Gao Yingxiong, a rough but meticulous person, had already received Cao Wei's reminder and knew that the Princess of Qin wanted to win over the talent Kou Zhun.

: "The Princess of Qin seems to be unorthodox and carefree, but every time others laugh at her, she has achieved the most results!

Who do my brother Cao Wei and I admire the most in the capital?

One is His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin, and the other is the Princess of Qin.

My sister is a close friend of hers. My sister owns shares in this hot pot city and the wine shop next to it, so I can bring you into this VIP room without queuing." Gao Yingxiong's words were full of arrogance.

: "Oh! It turns out that your sister is also one of the shareholders of this hot pot city. I am so sorry!" Kou Zhun was surprised and complimented.

: "Don't hide it, brother Kou, my little sister is also one of the shareholders here." Cao Wei also revealed it.

: "My sister Ruoying is not only one of the shareholders of this hot pot city and wine shop, but also one of the shareholders of the perfume shop of the Princess of Qin, which makes a lot of money every day.

This girl is rich and arrogant now. Every day when she meets me, she has a haughty face of a nouveau riche, and she can't wait to trample me, her brother, into the ground!" Gao Yingxiong's complaining words were full of arrogance.

Kou Zhun found it quite funny and became more curious about what kind of charming figure the Princess of Qin was.

Luo Li brought Hong Gu, Yu Li and Ting Ting to Chuanran Hot Pot City.

Luo Ning, the shopkeeper here, was still sitting in a wheelchair, but his hands were free to move.

When he saw the young lady, he clasped his hands and bowed!

: "Miss, you are here. Kou Zhun, Cao Wei, and Gao Yingxiong have been waiting for you in the Meizihao private room for a long time."

: "Have you been lazy in the recent rehabilitation training? How do you feel?" Luo Li first asked Luo Ning about her rehabilitation.

Luo Ning smiled shyly and said gratefully, "Miss, you have reconnected my tendons and veins with your magic hands. How could Luo Ning be lazy and afraid of pain and skip the rehabilitation training?

These hands can eat, dress, use an abacus, and write.

My legs can also walk slowly."

Luo Li nodded with relief and turned back to give an order.

: "Tingting, don't follow me. Go and help your brother Luo Ning with work!"

Tingting's pretty face flushed, but she responded sweetly.

Liu Xi, the head waiter, respectfully led Luo Li to the private room on the third floor.

Luo Li pushed the door open and walked in!

With a smile on his face, he greeted them warmly: "Brother Kou, Brother Cao, Brother Gao, how are you?

I was delayed for too long on this business trip, and only returned to the capital yesterday. I miss you brothers, and I can't wait to have a drink and get together today."

Kou Zhun and the other two quickly stood up and saluted, and Cao Wei bowed deeply and respectfully!

Ignorance is fearless! Kou Zhun didn't know Luo Li's identity as the Princess of Qin, but was more casual.

"Brother Wenhao, Kou Zhun misses you a lot too. I'm so happy to be able to get together with you today and drink and chat!"

Cao Wei felt nervous for Kou Zhun in his heart!

[How dare you miss the Princess of Qin? Your skin is really itchy, be careful to be punished by His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin! Kou Zhun

and Luo Li were talking and laughing, while Cao Wei and Gao Yingxiong were sitting aside, occasionally saying something.

Luo Li glanced at Cao Wei and Gao Yingxiong with her beautiful eyes.

"What's wrong? Why are Brother Cao and Brother Gao so uneasy? Are you missing Miss Gao Ruoying and Miss Yang Yanqi..."

Cao Wei hurriedly bowed in fear, "Brother Luo promised to save my brother's face. Don't mention this matter in front of others. We are both ashamed to death."

Gao Yingxiong was thick-skinned, "Brother Luo, as long as you don't mention this matter, just tell me what you want me to do."

Luo Li smiled and said, "What did I mention? I made you two so nervous. Today's task is for you two to accompany Kou Laoxier well, and it won't be over until he gets drunk."

This kind of good job is what he wanted.

Gao Yingxiong said happily, "As long as you are willing to spend the wine, today the three of us brothers will not go home until we are drunk!"

Mutton hot pot and seafood hot pot were served, and twelve pots of wine were served at once.

Luo Li raised his glass generously and invited, "The four of us brothers are really destined to be together. We don't know each other until we fight, and enemies become relatives.

Come! Let's drink a glass to the priceless brotherhood!"

Kou Zhun and the other two happily raised their glasses to celebrate the priceless brotherhood.

It is said that the best place to keep in touch is the wine table!

After three rounds of drinking, Cao Wei and Gao Yingxiong let go. They temporarily forgot about the identity of the Princess of Qin and drank and talked happily with each other like brothers.

The atmosphere was set off, and Luo Li stopped talking and just listened to Kou Zhun, Cao Wei and Gao Yingxiong talking.

"Brother Kou, I heard from my father that if you were not so young, you would have won the first place.

Now you only got the second place, behind the 26-year-old Hu Yancheng, which is really infuriating!" The upright Gao Yingxiong looked indignant.

"My father also told me when he got home that there was a heated debate among the court officials about the first place. The emperor hesitated for a long time, but finally followed the opinions of those important officials and appointed Hu Yan as the first place in this year's exam.

Brother Kou, you are very talented, but you missed the first place just because you were under 18 years old. It is really a pity!" Cao Wei was also very angry.

Kou Zhun just smiled calmly!

"The first place and the second place are only one place apart, which doesn't prove anything.

As long as you can pass the imperial examination and be valued by the court, you will have the opportunity to display your talents."

Cao Wei was a little worried, "I'm afraid those stubborn officials in the court will still use your young age as an excuse and refuse to give you a good position! I'm afraid you can't enter the Hanlin Academy and Guanwen Hall."

Luo Li interrupted, "You two go home and persuade them. " Dad, who is in a high position and has power and whose words have influence, please make plans for Kou Zhun."

Gao Yingxiong raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, and said righteously, "Of course! For the brothers' affairs, Cao Wei and I will definitely help."

Cao Wei pondered for a moment, "Not only should we persuade our father at home, but we should also encourage our father to contact more influential court officials, so that this matter can be done steadily."

Kou Zhun clasped his fists in gratitude!

"Thank you three brothers for your efforts to make plans for Kou Zhun. Kou Zhun does not ask for a high official position, as long as he has real power to do practical things, it would be fine even if he is sent to a poor place to be a county magistrate."

Gao Yingxiong glared!

: "Your ambition is so small. Do we brothers need to work hard to plan it?"

Luo Li interrupted and said, "Even if we can't find a good position for Kou Zhun in the capital, we must ensure that the county he is sent to is a large county close to the capital.

He can display his talents, and we brothers can see each other often and take care of each other."

Cao Wei and Gao Yingxiong nodded in agreement.

In the next room, the King of Qin, who was disguised as a bearded middle-aged man, put down his chopsticks.

: "Yun Yi, let's go home."
