Seeing Wu Liangan's reaction, Empress Xiao smiled slightly, and said softly: "Go and get it, although it is a relic of the former emperor, but it is useless for me to keep it, it is better to give it to their juniors." Wu Liangan saw that Queen Xiao insisted, so he didn't say anything anymore, turned around and went to the inner house.

"Mother......" Concubine Yang heard that Empress Xiao was going to give her father's relics to Li Ke and Li Su, and immediately wanted to stop it, after all, it must be a very precious or significant thing to let Empress Xiao take it with her for so many years. But as soon as he said two words, he was immediately interrupted by Queen Xiao.

"Jiu Niang, it's not a valuable thing, you don't have to shirk it, it's just a few jewelry that you brought with you when your father died, I just wanted to save a thought, and now my body is not good, saying that the eighty-first chapter jasper ring may be gone one day, and it is useless to leave these things, give them to Su'er and Ke'er, it can be regarded as a souvenir!" Hearing Empress Xiao's words, Concubine Yang no longer shirked.

Li Su and Li Ke have some expectations, not to covet that little thing, but they are very curious about their grandfather, who has been praised and criticized by the world, and they have known a lot of his deeds from other people's oral accounts or history books, and it is also very exciting to see his dying relics today.

After waiting for a while, Wu Liangan ran in with a pillow-sized box, and then respectfully handed it to Empress Xiao, who took out a delicate little key from her neck, opened the box, and then beckoned to Li Su and Li Ke, let them come to the side, and then pointed to the contents of the box and said to them: "You brothers come and pick and see what you like?" ”

Li Su stepped forward curiously, and found that there were not many things in the box, including a few jade pendants with different functions, a jade belt, a golden lion paperweight, a gold and jade seal, and some messy things, such as sachets, hairpins, night pearls, and the like. Although some things look ordinary, everything is made of material and workmanship. are all top-level works Chapter 81 Jasper Ring, after all, how could the things that Yang Guang wear with him be bad? Take it out casually and give it away, it's a very face-saving gift.

Li Ke and Li Su looked at it, since it was sent by the elders, they didn't have to excuse themselves. Li Ke looked at it and picked a round piece of pure white jade, which was carved with the picture of a phoenix, and the workmanship was extremely exquisite, and he liked it at a glance. So he reached out and took it out. thanked Empress Xiao: "My grandson likes beautiful jade, so choose this piece as a gift!" ”

"Okay, a gentleman is like jade, Ke'er, you have courage and knowledge, and you will definitely be the idle king praised by everyone in the future." Empress Xiao praised. Although she obviously prefers Li Ke, she is also good for the brave and decisive Li Ke, if Li Ke hadn't gotten married a long time ago, she even wanted to personally choose a woman from the Xiao family who has both ability and political integrity for Li Ke as a concubine.

"Thank you grandmother for compliment!" Li Ke said with a smile. Seeing Li Ke's humble and polite appearance, Queen Xiao was even more satisfied, but what she didn't know was that Li Ke was not a polite person, and he had always been a shapeless person for people who knew each other well. Only when facing unfamiliar or new acquaintances will they put on a humble and polite face.

Li Ke picked it out, but Li Ke looked at it for a long time, but there was no movement, he looked at the things just now, but found that there was nothing to look at. It's not that he doesn't like the things inside, it's just that in his opinion, although these things are valuable, they are too ordinary to reflect the unique temperament of the cheap grandfather.

Just when Li Su was disappointed, he was about to take something as a souvenir, and suddenly found that there seemed to be something under the largest jade belt, Li Su reached out and took the jade belt away, and found that it was a very ordinary small wooden box, which made him a little puzzled, the things in it were all Yang Guang's relics, how could such an ordinary small box appear?

Curious, Li Su reached out and picked up the box. However, he didn't notice that when Queen Xiao next to her saw the small wooden box in Li Su's hand, her brows were furrowed, and she opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she didn't say it, but Wu Liang'an behind her changed her face when she saw the small wooden box, and glanced at Li Su anxiously, but she didn't dare to say anything to stop it.

Li Su opened the box and found that it was a ring made of jasper, this ring was very peculiar, although the whole body was emerald green, but there was a section in the middle, but a piece of natural blood red was protruding, and the skilled craftsman who made the ring took advantage of this to carve a protruding shield on this piece of blood red, and the shield was slightly carved with two extremely realistic swords and a sword, but the sword carved from red jade looked like it was stained with blood, extremely bloody and terrifying.

When Li Su saw it, he immediately liked this thing, the ring is not unusual, when the Tang Dynasty men and women are in love, it is very popular to give the ring, but the shield and sword carved on the ring, Li Su is still the first time to see it. So he took out the ring and tried it on his ring finger, and found that it was just the right size.

"Grandmother, grandson chose this ring, do you think, does it look like it is made for grandchildren?" Li Su stretched out his hand to show everyone, his white fingers were wearing emerald green rings with blood red, which looked really good.

"Rokuro, this ring is weird-looking, it looks uncomfortable, why do you like it?" Concubine Yang frowned and said, she just felt that the carving on this ring was both a knife and a sword, and the color was so bloody, it seemed a little unlucky, but she looked at Li Su as if she liked it very much, and as a mother who doted on her son, she couldn't bear to let him change it.

Empress Xiao saw that Li Su liked it, and sighed and said: "Su'er, you and your grandfather not only look alike, but even have similar preferences, this ring was his beloved thing back then, even I can't touch it, since you like it, then take it!" ”

When Yang Guang died, Queen Xiao buried him with a few bed boards, because it was too simple, she was afraid that others would destroy the body, so Yang Guang let her take off some valuable things, and this ring was one of them, but she, like Concubine Yang, felt that the style of this ring was weird, and even felt a little evil, so she didn't want Li Su to choose this thing as a gift, but if Li Su liked it, of course she wouldn't stop it.

"Thank you, grandmother!" Hearing that this ring turned out to be Yang Guang's favorite thing, Li Su liked it very much, and thanked him excitedly, he didn't think there was anything wrong with this ring, there were any carvings on the ring in later generations, and any skeletons and ghosts dared to carve on it, compared to those, the sword carving on this jasper ring was nothing at all.

Seeing that Li Su finally chose the ring, Wu Liangan behind Queen Xiao became pale, and his lips trembled slightly and wanted to say something to stop him, but in the end he still didn't say it.

After sending off Concubine Yang, Li Ke, and Li Su, Empress Xiao returned to the bedroom, she was in a very good mood today, and told Wu Liangan to let the kitchen cook a few more dishes. The old eunuch agreed, and then slowly retreated, but when he walked to the door, he raised his head and glanced at Empress Xiao, and then muttered with a very complicated expression: "Niangniang, the ring you gave to His Royal Highness King Liang, I really don't know if it hurt him or helped him?" ”

At the same time, there was a quarrel taking place in the main hall of Li Su's Liang Palace, and both sides of the quarrel were Li Su's subordinates, one of whom was his right-hand man Wang Zihao, and the other was Yang Jiu, the steward of the winery.

"Your Highness, what our winery sells is a reputation, how can we use that kind of rotten grain to make wine? Isn't that your own signboard smashing? The young Yang Jiu's face was flushed.

"Yang Jiu, why don't you know, those people only like spirits, as long as the wine is strong enough, everything else doesn't matter, they can make wine anyway, and the price given by people is the same, why can't we choose a cheaper ingredient to make wine?" Not to be outdone, Wang Zihao replied.

"Nonsense, we winemakers all have our own ethics, how can we make wine for people to drink with what we feed to pigs?" Yang Jiu was furious, if it weren't for the fact that the occasion didn't allow it now, he really wanted to beat this copper-smelling businessman hard.

Li Su looked at the two people arguing below, and felt a little helpless in his heart, as soon as he came back today, the two of them quarreled to see him, and they never stopped arguing from the beginning.

In fact, the reason for the quarrel between the two is very simple, because the chamber of commerce where the prince sells wine found that the Hu people on the grassland like the five kings very much, and the reason why they like it is because the wine is strong enough and it is very enjoyable to drink, and they don't care about anything else. And it just so happens that several large granaries near Chang'an have come to replace the old grain, because of the storage problem, there are always some grains in the lower part of the granary that will inevitably mold and deteriorate, commonly known as rotten grain, which is inedible at all, and used to be half sold and half given to the surrounding farmers as feed for livestock.

After Wang Zihao saw this situation, he found a good way to reduce costs, that is, to buy those rotten grains for winemaking, and then distill and sell them to those Hu people, anyway, they only like spirits, and the distillery can also reduce costs, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone, but Yang Jiu, as a winemaker, thinks that this is detrimental to their professional ethics, so he doesn't agree at all, and as a result, neither of the two can convince anyone, and in the end they can only let Li Su decide.

Now the reason for the matter is clear, I can't talk about who is right and who is wrong, it's just a conflict of concepts, he is really not good at mediating this matter, after all, Wang Zihao is right, the pursuit of profit maximization is the essence of businessmen, and as a winemaker, it is understandable to maintain his own integrity, so he is also very embarrassed, and in the end, in desperation, Li Su simply pretended to be deaf and dumb, no one helped, let them quarrel by themselves, and whoever won would listen to whom.

However, listening to their quarrel, Li Su gradually felt a little bored, and finally simply took off the ring on his hand and put it on his hand to observe carefully, because he found that in the four small areas where the shield was divided by crossed swords, there seemed to be something carved on it, but it was not magnified, and the candle flame was not powerful, so it was not clear for a while.

However, just when Li Su was fascinated, he didn't notice that Wang Zihao and Yang Jiu, who were still arguing just now, stopped, staring at the jasper ring in Li Su's hand with strange eyes!!
