Chapter 77: Longevity Peach

  "Let's go take a look at that silver building over there." Li Xia pulled Li Wenshan's hand, pointing to the Xiangji Silver Building.

  "Huh? What's the point of going to Silver Tower? We definitely can't afford anything in there."

  "Just take a look, just take a glance." Li Xia really wanted to see Xiangji Silver Building with her own eyes at this time. If she could also see He Jinyan, that would be even better. She hadn't seen him for a while.

  "Alright, alright." Li Wenshan replied in a good temper, holding Li Xia's hand and entering the Xiangji Silver House next door.

  Li Xia led Fifth Brother to stand in the middle of Xiangji's shop, turning her head to look around. The interior was simple and elegant, extremely clean. This shop was just like Zhu Jinyan, making people feel comfortable at first glance, and even more so as they looked further.

  Li Wenshan and Li Xia stood as one, she turned her head to look somewhere, he also turned his head to look somewhere.

  Gu Liu and Qin Wang almost simultaneously stepped into the threshold of Xiangji Silver House, and as soon as they entered, they saw Li Xia looking up at the roof, and Li Wenshan also looking up at the roof. Gu Liu let out a loud "hah" and burst out laughing.

  Gu Liu's laughter had just burst out when he was slapped to one side by Jin Zuyan, and Lu Yi and Jin Zuyan followed closely behind, their movements and expressions almost identical as they stared at Li Xia and Li Wenshan.

  Gu Liu pointed at Li Wenshan, laughing so hard he was almost crying, while Qin Wang looked up at the roof, shifted a bit, and moved to stand beside Li Wenshan, looking up again.

  Li Wenshan pulled Li Xia along, speechless as he stared at Gu Liu's manic laughter and Qin Wang circling around him, looking up at the rooftop.

  Li Xia pouted and secretly sighed at her luck... how could it be so coincidental... she hadn't even bought Gu Liu's birthday gift yet...

  Jin Zheyan looked up and down at Li Wenshan's speechless face, and pouted, obviously somewhat unhappy, Li Xia.

  Lu Yi couldn't help but smile and walked up to greet Li Wenshan, "Wulang arrived so early, where's Liu Ge? Why didn't he come over?"

  "Just arrived, Liu Ge was not feeling well yesterday, didn't dare bring him over today." Li Wenshan tried to ignore Gu Liu's big smile, Qin Wang's left and right glances, as well as Jin Xunyan's sizing up, only speaking with Lu Yi.

  "What's so good about that?" Qin Wang took a step forward, standing between Li Wenshan and Lu Yi, pointing upwards with his folded fan.

  Li Wenshan looked at Qin Wang without saying a word. It wasn't that he didn't want to say anything, it's just that he didn't know what to say. Ah Xia looked too, and she also couldn't figure out what was so good about him!

  "Brother Five, didn't you say you'd take me to buy a pen?" Li Xia was too lazy to bother with these few extremely wealthy and idle people. Gu Liu's birthday gift hadn't been bought yet, and if he were to be dragged away by them like this... it would be embarrassing.

  "Alright, alright!" Li Wenshan suddenly remembered that he hadn't even looked at the birthday gift yet. "I'll take Xia to buy paper and pen first, and then meet you all at Qingfeng Building later."

  Li Wenshan pulled Li Xia and was about to go out, but the King of Qin blocked him with a folding fan. "What's the hurry? You've just arrived, haven't you?" The king's words were directed at Li Wenshan, but his face was turned towards Zhu Jinyan, the shopkeeper who had already come out to greet them.

  "This young master and lady just arrived, several gentlemen have come." Zhu answered with a bow.

  "Go ahead and take a look, I'll just go next door to buy some paper and pen, it's just right, I also want to pick out a few new ink cakes, let's go." The King of Qin used his folding fan to push Li Wen Shan inside.

  "Ah, no, it won't work, A Xia...A Xia..." Li Wenshan was not quick-witted and hadn't thought of what to do with A Xia before being pushed in by Qin Wang.

  Gu Liu was wiping away tears of laughter with her handkerchief, "Wu Lang, just now, you and your sister... Hahaha, I'm dying from laughter, oh my..."

  Jin Zheyan glanced at the outside of the Silver Bank and Lu Yi nodded slightly to him, indicating that he understood.

  Jin Zuo Yan made a big step forward into the Silver Villa, Lu Yi retreated two steps back, turned around and walked out of the Silver Villa. Cheng Ying hastily went forward, but Lu Yi didn't say anything, looked left and right, and suddenly everything became clear in his mind.

  No car, no one to send him off, Li Wu had nothing in his hands. He was anxious to leave and must be going to buy a gift.

  Lu Yi called out to Cheng Ying and whispered a few words in a low voice.

  Li Xia didn't dare to show her head, Li Wenshan didn't have that quick wit, the brother and sister could only follow Qin Wang into the backyard of Xiangji Silver House.

  "Is there any Pei Shu Tao in your store?" Qin Wang asked casually as he walked in.

  The yamen of the prefectural government has issued an order, and all the shops in Hangzhou are preparing to send longevity peaches. They will collect silver from each household and send it to the yamen for unified dispatch, saying that this way can avoid each household sending separately, but as a result, queues are formed everywhere in the city, which is too chaotic and may lead to trouble.

  Zhu Zhuanggui paused for a moment, his voice dropping low. "It's said that the king and empress dowager are in Hangzhou City, they must not be disturbed."

  The king of Qin's hand holding the folding fan paused for a moment before continuing to wave it as if nothing had happened.

  Li Xia subconsciously glanced at Qin Wang. What did Zhu the shopkeeper mean by that... Afraid of disturbing the Empress Dowager and him, so it can't be lively?

  The provincial governor's office... The Hangzhou prefect is Luo Zhongsheng, Luo Zhongsheng... If this news gets out, it must be the Empress Dowager's intention. Otherwise, even if you lend Luo Zhongsheng a few guts, he wouldn't dare to spread such words...

  The opposition between Empress Dowager and Imperial Concubine Jiang, has it started from now on, or did it start a long time ago? What kind of feud could there be between the Empress Dowager, Imperial Concubine Jiang, and the Jiang family?

  The King of Qin was definitely killed by Jiang's family, so Jin Zhiyan killed the entire Jiang family, but not a single hair was harmed...

  Jiang's family, why did you want to kill the Qin Emperor?

  These things, she had never dared to investigate with her own hands. When the Empress Dowager was alive, it was strictly forbidden for anyone to touch this matter. After the Empress Dowager's death, this matter became the most untouchable reverse scale on Jin Xuyan's body. Before she fell back, she did not dare to touch Jin Xuyan's reverse scale.

  The king of Qin's death and why he died, she knew nothing about it.

  It now appears that from now on, or rather before this, the discord, even opposition, has been very obvious. So, the Empress Dowager let the Ministry of Justice release such words to express her dissatisfaction with the grand celebration of Jiang's birthday and also her dissatisfaction with Crown Prince...

  "Have someone go and bring back some longevity peaches to see if the longevity peaches from the Magistrate's office are more vibrant than those made by your Silver Building." Qin Wang instructed Zhu, the shopkeeper. Zhu hastily called an apprentice and instructed him to find a way to bring back several longevity peaches.

  A group of people sat down in the main hall, had tea, and Zhu the shopkeeper brought several apprentices, carrying over a dozen boxes of various pearls, which were placed on a long table at one side of the great hall.

  The King of Qin walked over, looked at each box one by one, picked out a few beads such as jade and coral, and ordered them to be strung into bead strings of varying sizes for the Empress Dowager to use in worshiping Buddha.

  The Qin king had just picked out the pearls, when a partner came in running with a snow-white fine cloth package. Zhu Guan took it over and placed the snow-white fine cloth package on the table next to Qin Wang, opened it, and inside the package were four or five small peach-sized longevity peaches.

  "This longevity peach is so small." Li Wenshan stretched his neck and blurted out.
