Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

Xue Li hurriedly stood up, and said with a smile: "It turns out that it is Huaiying. I have always heard about you from my adoptive father, so I have to see you today!"

It was good that he didn't stand up, but when he stood up, Qin Huaiying was startled.

They are clearly the same age, Xue Li is only a few months older than him.

He was taller than him by a full head!

Look at that physique, with a fist down, it is estimated that he can punch his head into the cavity

Qin Qiong yawned, and said: "It's the first time you brothers meet, let's have a good chat, I'm going to sleep for a while as a father, and call me again at lunch."

He threw Xue Li's cloak back, waved his hands, and walked slowly towards the bedroom.

"Huaiying, come and sit down."

Xue Li took out a large military jar, used the lid as a cup, and was poured hot tea by Qin Huaiying.

People from the Liu family all like to drink tea.

Xue Li doesn't have so many bells and whistles. A big pot can be stuffed with a few pieces of tea, and it can drink for a whole day.

He said straight to the point: "It was the adoptive father who taught me here. You have only arrived in Chang'an not long ago. What the adoptive father means is, let me introduce you to some people so that we can open up the situation in the future."

Chapter 1214 What a chance Liu Bai gave him

They are similar in age and temperament, and the two get along relatively well.

Anyway, Xue Li is also a big brother, so naturally he can't treat Qin Huaiyi badly.

Qin Qiong asked him to help Qin Huaiyi to open up the situation in Chang'an City, just because he was worried that if he died in the future, Qin Huaiyi would not be relied on and would be bullied.

Furthermore, neither the Liu family nor Xue Li himself owed favors to Qin Qiong.

Coupled with the relationship between foster father and foster son, he should spare no effort to help Qin Huaiyi both emotionally and rationally.

At noon, after a simple meal at the Qin's house, Xue Li took Qin Huaiyi to the Liu's mansion.

Without him, Qin Huaiyi would not be able to see Liu Bai.

Identity, after all, is a natural moat.

Even if the two brothers Qin Huaidao died, they would not be able to change it. Qin Huaiyi was the essence of a concubine.

This has nothing to do with Liu Bai's relationship with the Qin family, or even the favor he owes to Qin Qiong.

You know, there are far more than one or two families who have good relations with the Liu family.

Which family doesn't have a few concubine children?

Too much patronage will inevitably make the children of concubines in those families have thoughts that they shouldn't have.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be a big deal to just give Liu Yexuan to Qin Huaiyi just because of the favor Liu Bai owed Qin Qiong.

In terms of the size of the Liu family, Liu Yexuan is no longer a highly valued property.

This is also what Qin Qiong explained to Liu Bai from the very beginning.

Not only for the Liu family, but also for Qin Huaiyi himself.

Once he, the son of a concubine, becomes an exception, he will inevitably become a thorn in the side of many families' sons!

Even so, Qin Qiong was still worried, so he asked Xue Li to show him the world and make friends.

The water between the rich and powerful is very deep, no matter how careful you are, you can't be too careful.

Came to Liu Bai's study, Liu Bai was reading history books.

Inspired by "Book of Jin", Liu Bai felt the power of studying history.

He was originally a historian, so he didn't seem to find it difficult.

What I read today is "Three Kingdoms" compiled by Chen Shou, a native of Jin Dynasty.

Even though there are some inaccuracies in it, the wisdom of those big cows during the Three Kingdoms period is still worth learning.

It wasn't until he saw the original borrowed from Yan Shigu's family that Liu Bai realized that there were many discrepancies in the later "Three Kingdoms"

"Master!"

Xue Li led Qin Huaiyi with a smile, opened the door and walked in.

He had already gotten through with Xu Chu, so he didn't have to wait outside the door.

Liu Bai held the book in one hand, and pointed to the teapot beside him with the other.

"Pour yourself."

Xue Li cleared his throat, and then Liu Bai saw Qin Huaiyi.

He put down the book and said with a smile, "Hui Yi is here too."

Qin Huaiyi was a little nervous.

This is the first time for him to formally meet Liu Bai.

Even if he took over Liu Yexuan before, he only met Shen Wansan once.

"Master Liu!"

He didn't know what method he should use to greet Liu Bai.

From Liu Yexuan's standpoint, Liu Bai can be regarded as his master.

And the Liu family and the Qin family are in the same relationship. From this point of view, it is not an exaggeration to call him 'Brother Liu'.

Liu Bai smiled and said, "Without outsiders, there is no need to be formal."

He got up himself and poured tea for the two of them.

Xue Li recounted Qin Qiong's entrustment.

Liu Bai pondered for a while, and said: "The old man means that you are not allowed to enter the officialdom, and you should be well aware of your family's affairs."

Qin Huaiyi arched his hands, his face looked a little gloomy.

There is nothing wrong with what Liu Bai said.

The decline of the Qin family above the court is a certainty.

In his life, he never had a chance to enter the officialdom.

Even relying on Qin Qiong's face, he can temporarily get a good background.

But what will happen in the future is not certain.

In other words, people of Qin Qiong's generation are still alive, and Qin Huaiyi can easily rise to the top.

But what about later?

In other families, the eldest son is the head of the family. As a concubine, he can't fit into that circle.

On the contrary, it is better to transform into a merchant, so as to ensure the safe development of the family.

After all, the status of merchants is getting higher and higher, and with the towering tree of the Liu family behind their backs, their development prospects are not necessarily worse than those of mixed officials.

Liu Bai took out an envelope from the drawer.

Instead of handing the envelope to Xue Li and Qin Huaiyi, he put it gently on the table.

"Sooner or later, you will be the head of the Qin family. It is impossible to work in the Liu family all the time. This is the resignation letter. I have already signed my name. When you quit the Liu family, you have the final say."

Xue Li glanced at Qin Huaiyi and said, "Huaiyi, why don't you thank you Brother Liu!"

This resignation was Liu Bai's promise to Qin Huaiyi.

He can allow Qin Huaiyi to use the Liu family's name to open up the situation in Chang'an City, so as to establish a good relationship with the big shots.

At the same time, his freedom will not be imprisoned.

When did Qin Huaiyi feel that he was able to take charge of himself, and he could take off the hat of the Liu family at any time and take over the power of the Qin family.

One must know that if Qin Huaiyi continued to serve in the Liu family, the imperial court would never allow him to inherit Qin Qiong's title.

It can be said that this resignation gave Qin Huaiyi great autonomy, and similarly, it also gave him the power to choose the direction of development.

If it were someone else, they would definitely not have this kind of face.

"Thank you, Brother Liu!"

Qin Huaiyi put the envelope close to his body.

Liu Bai glanced at Xue Li and said with a smile, "You really care about this younger brother."

Xue Li scratched his head, and said: "The old man gave me face, I can't help it. Besides, to you, young master, it's just a trivial matter."

Qin Huaiyi didn't understand what the two of them were talking about.

Liu Bai waved his hand and said, "Drink some tea to warm up your body, I won't go to the dinner tonight, Xue Li, don't worry about it."

After speaking, Liu Bai picked up the book again, and started to read it.

Xue Li raised his chin at Qin Huaiyi, signaling him to finish the tea quickly.

The two went out, and within a few steps, Qin Huaiyi couldn't help asking, "Brother, what's the dinner tonight?"

Xue Li took a deep breath and patted Qin Huaiyi's shoulder.

"Huaiyi, the adoptive father almost used his life to win you a great opportunity. You must not learn from Qin Huaidao and let the foster father's painstaking efforts down."

With that said, he brought Qin Huaiyi to his room.

After searching in the cabinet for a long time, he said helplessly, "The difference in size between the two of us is too great. Let's go, brother will take you to buy some clothes. For the dinner tonight, you must not lose face to the young master and foster father."

Qin Huaiyi was full of doubts, and followed Xue Li out to the shop in the southern section of Zhuque Street.

After buying some clothes, it was only dark.

The two came to Tianxiang Tower.

Today, the first floor of Tianxiang Building does not accept guests.

The second floor is already full!

Seeing the people who came to eat, Qin Huaiyi realized what a chance Liu Bai gave him.

Chapter 1215 How big is this network?

If you want to open up the situation in Chang'an City, the way is nothing more than power and wealth.

It is undoubtedly the most direct way to make friends with the second generation of officials and the second generation of rich people in Chang'an City.

Walking up to the second floor and pushing open the door of the banquet hall, Qin Huaiyi finally realized how important his father was in Liu Bai's eyes when countless eyes cast their eyes on him!

It is no exaggeration to say that even the crown prince does not have the face to gather all these people together!

It must be Liu Bai who summoned these people together in his own name!

The first thing Qin Huaiyi saw were the regular customers of Liu Yexuan.

Fang Xuanling's eldest son Fang Yizhi, Xiao Yu's second son Xiao Kai, Du Ruhui's son Du He

All the heirs of the big bosses from the three provinces are here!

From the perspective of seating, the status of other people will not be lower than them.

It was full, nearly a hundred people!

How big is this network?

In the eyes of most people, Qin Huaiyi is just a lucky country bumpkin who got the inheritance of the Qin family by luck.

On other occasions, no one would talk to him at all!

Of course, there's nothing to talk to him about now.

"Xiao Lizi, you are late, you will be punished with alcohol!"

Yuchi Jingde's son, Yuchi Baolin, was closest to Xue Li.

Seeing them coming, they immediately started booing.

"Wine fine, fine wine!"

"All of us have been drinking for a long time, and you are also a hostess, so you have the nerve to be late?!"
