Qi Yiyang wanted to take the imperial examination and become an official, so of course he would not follow Xi Rui and the others to become a dandy.
But he also became thick-skinned: “I’ll follow Qingluo.”
How can hanging out with a dandy be as “money-making” as hanging out with Shi Qingluo? Although he was the son of the Duke’s Mansion, he was also short of money!
And if this thing was done, it would also make his grandfather and father look at him with a higher regard, and make those brothers envious.
Liang Youxiao rolled his eyes at him: “Before, it was Miss Shi, but now it’s Qingluo?”
Xi Rui also said: “That’s right, you changed your words too quickly.”
Qi Yiyang: “……”
How can these two people always go against him?
He snorted: “I’m also Qingluo’s friend, why can’t I call her that?”
He looked at Shi Qing Luo with a thick face and said: “Qingluo, I’ll follow you too.”
Since Xi Rui and Liang Youxiao followed Shi Qingluo, they have been in the limelight for more than half a year.
For example: skateboards, mahjong, corn, sweaters, and iron table stoves.
Even his father sighed that although Xi Rui and his family were dandies, they were still somewhat useful.
For example: corn, Xi Rui’s family has planted, and when it is harvested next year, it will be the only one in the court.
Shi Qingluo thought about it: “You can follow suit, but you have to sell me 30% of the rubber produced in the first three years, and the price cannot be higher than the market price.”
Rubber has many uses, and she can use it, but she doesn’t want to find it and plant it herself. It would be too troublesome. It’s better to have someone provide it.
She was quite satisfied with the Second Prince’s recent behavior, so she didn’t mind giving him some sweet treats.
If the Qi Family does it, the Second Prince will naturally be showered with benefits.
Of course, it was impossible to stand on their side.
It was just mutual use, and this point doesn’t touch the Emperor’s nerves.
After all, Xi Rui and other families also want to do it.
The main point was that once Xi Rui and his family take action, will families like the Qi family not keep an eye on it?
Once they find out what they are doing, they will follow suit.
Since they will be followed sooner or later, she might as well do a favor to Qi Yiyang first.
In this way, as long as she gets the benefits, the Second Prince and the Qi Family will not think of finding fault with her and her husband.
Let the scumbag father go and have fun by himself.
Qi Yiyang was delighted: “No problem.”
He could choose to go back and let his family keep an eye on Xi Rui’s family, and then secretly buy a few fields to get rubber.
But after all, it was not legitimate, and if he encounters something he doesn’t understand, it will be difficult to solve.
He was not stupid. Shi Qingluo dared to tell him which plants could be made into rubber and let him see what she drew.
But the main point was that even if he knew, he didn’t know how to get the rubber out, there must be a special method.
At that time, he would have to secretly plant spies on Xi Rui and other families.
Why not just follow Shi Qingluo and get along with her? If he doesn’t know what to do next, he can ask her and exchange it for benefits.
That’s why she proposed to buy 30% of the rubber output, and he agreed without hesitation.
On the contrary, he was afraid that she would not put forward conditions. Only when people have no desires and no demands do they have greater ambitions?
Seeing Shi Qingluo agree, Xi Rui curled his lips at Qi Yiyang: “You are really lucky.”
“By the way, only a few of us know about this.”
Liang Youxiao emphasized to a few people: “Don’t leak the secret to others. We must first make rubber to attract attention and make money. Even if others follow suit in the future, they will not make as much money as us, and we will be the ones to attract attention.”
The other people rolled their eyes at him: “Do you need to tell me that?”
They would be stupid to leak the secrets of things that can attract attention and make a lot of money.
Shi Qingluo chuckled and said: “Then let’s go after we finish eating. You guys hurry back to do this. If you’re a step slower, you’ll lose a lot.”
Several people nodded in agreement: “That’s a must.”
Liang Youxiao picked up a piece of paper drawn by Shi Qingluo: “I’m full, I’ll go home first.”
Xi Rui and others: “……”
I knew this guy was the most cunning. He wanted to get ahead of them.
Xi Rui also took a copy: “I’m full too.”
Then Xi Rong, Fei Yuzhe, and Qi Yiyang all stood up: “I’m full too.”
Shi Qingluo: “……”
I was impressed.
“Okay, you all go home, I’ll go back slowly after I’m full.”
The dishes haven’t been served yet, it’s a waste not to eat any of them.
She’ll ask the shopkeeper to pack them up later.
“Then you eat slowly, we’ll leave first and contact you later.”
Afraid that the other party would get ahead of them, they hurried downstairs and went home.
At this time, the people in charge of several families had also left the palace one after another.
The Liang Family was relatively closer to the restaurant, so Liang Youxiao went home first.
Old Master Liang happened to be in the study with several sons and grandsons, discussing some trends in the court.
For example, Xiao Yuanshi’s position in the Ministry of War was vacant, and everyone wanted to fight for it.
Old Master Liang also wanted one of his sons to try. If he could get the position, it would be the best, but if he couldn’t, it would be okay.
There were many men in the family and limited resources, so once there was an opportunity, we must keep an eye on it, otherwise, it would be a bargain for others.
Of course, other aristocratic families have similar ideas.
Liang Youxiao went home and went directly to the study.
After knocking on the door and entering, he saw that all the promising men in the family were in the study.
Several cousins were studying, and they were also called by their biological father to listen.
In other words, the whole family, except Liang Youxiao and a few other men who were too young, were here.
Seeing his son coming just now, Liang Mingcheng said unhappily: “You came quite early!”
In the whole family, his son was the most out of tune.
Just now, he was secretly squeezed by several brothers, saying that his son didn’t care about family affairs at all.
Then he said something else, but his son was a dandy, he didn’t want to take the imperial examination to enter the officialdom, and he didn’t want the old man to arrange a job to live a life, so it didn’t matter if he doesn’t come.
He was naturally unhappy when he heard it.
The family was big, even if he was the future heir of the Duke’s Mansion, there was still friction between the brothers.
If there were conflicts outside, they would naturally unite to face the outside, but when living together, there will always be bumps and conflicts.
Then he was most likely to be squeezed by bringing up this youngest son.
How can Liang Youxiao not see that his father is unhappy, but he doesn’t care?
So he walked in with a smirk and sat down: “It’s not too early, it’s just right.”
Liang Mingcheng: “……”
His hands are itchy again.
“Xiao Liu, are you so busy all day?”
“Yes, we who have to go to the government office all day, we are not as busy as you.”
“Where did you go today? You just came back now.”
Liang Youxiao’s cousins squeezed him one after another.
This guy has made the old man and the old lady happy recently and got a lot of good things.
They were unhappy.
Liang Youxiao poured himself a cup of tea, drank it leisurely, and then said: “Of course I went to do business.”
“And then I found another good thing that can make our family famous.”
The few people who were about to continue squeezing him were choked. How should they respond to this?
