Seeing Wu Liang'an's reaction, Empress Xiao smiled slightly and said softly: "Go and get it. Although it is a relic of the late emperor, it is of no use if I keep it. It is better to give it to Min'er and the other descendants." Wu Liang'an

Seeing Queen Xiao's insistence, he said nothing more and turned around to go to the inner chamber.

"Mother..." When Concubine Yang heard that Empress Xiao wanted to give her father's relics to Li Ke and Li Min, she immediately wanted to stop her. After all, having Empress Xiao carry her with her for so many years must be very precious or of great significance.

But as soon as he said two words, he was immediately interrupted by Queen Xiao.

"Jiuniang, it's not something expensive, so you don't have to refuse. It's just a few accessories that your father brought with him when he passed away. I just want to keep them with you as a memory. Now my health is not good either. Maybe

It will be gone one day, so there is no use in keeping these things. Give them to Min'er and Ke'er as a souvenir!" After hearing Queen Xiao's words, Concubine Yang no longer refused.

Li Min and Li Ke were somewhat looking forward to it, not because they were greedy for that thing, but they were very curious about their grandfather, who had received mixed reviews from the world. They had known a lot about his deeds from other people's oral accounts or history books.

It is also a very exciting thing to see his last relics today.

After waiting for a while, Wu Liangan ran in with a pillow-sized box, and then handed it to Queen Xiao respectfully. Queen Xiao took a delicate small key from her neck, opened the box, and then asked Li Min and Li Ke.

Wave to them and ask them to come to you, then point to the items in the box and say to them: "You brothers, come and pick out what you like?"

Li Min walked forward curiously and found that there were only a few things in the box. Among them were several jade pendants with different functions, a jade belt, a gold lion paperweight, a gold seal and a jade seal, and some other messy things.

Things, such as sachets, hairpins, night pearls, etc. Although some things look ordinary, everything is top-notch in terms of material and workmanship. After all, what Yang Guang wears with him, how could it be bad?

Take it out and give it to someone casually, it is a very honorable gift.

Li Ke and Li Min looked at it. Since it was a gift from their elders, they didn't have to refuse. Li Ke looked at it and picked out a round piece of pure white jade with a picture of a phoenix seeking a phoenix carved on it. The workmanship was extremely exquisite. He

I liked it at first sight, so I reached out and took it out. I thanked Empress Xiao and said, "My grandson likes beautiful jade, so choose this piece as a gift!"

"Well, a gentleman is like a jade. Ke'er, you are courageous and knowledgeable. You will definitely be the Xianwang praised by everyone in the future." Queen Xiao praised. Although she obviously prefers Li Min, she is also good for the brave and decisive Li Ke. If not

Li Ke had been married a long time ago, and she even wanted to personally choose a girl from the Xiao family who was both capable and virtuous to be Li Ke's concubine.

"Thank you grandma for the compliment!" Li Ke said with a smile. Seeing Li Ke's humble and polite look, Queen Xiao was even more satisfied. Unfortunately, what she didn't know was that Li Ke was not a person who kept etiquette. He always treated people who were close to him.

They all have no formal appearance. Only when facing people they are unfamiliar with or have met for the first time, they will put on a fake face of being humble and polite.

Li Ke had already picked it out, but Li Min looked at it for a long time, but nothing happened. He just looked through the things, but found that there was nothing that caught his eye. It's not that he didn't like the things inside, it was just that in his opinion,

Although these things are valuable, they are too ordinary and cannot reflect the unique temperament of the cheap grandpa.

Just when Li Min was disappointed and was about to pick up something as a souvenir, he suddenly discovered that there seemed to be something underneath the largest jade belt. Li Min reached out to take the jade belt away and found that it turned out to be a very ordinary small wooden box.

He was a little confused. The things inside were all Yang Guang's relics. How could such an ordinary small box appear?

Out of curiosity, Li Min 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 Min's hand, she frowned and opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she didn't.

Speaking of which, Wu Liangan behind her changed his face when he saw the small wooden box. He glanced at Li Min anxiously, but did not dare to say anything to stop him.

Li Min opened the box and found that inside was a ring made of jasper. This ring had a very peculiar shape. Although it was completely green, there was a section in the middle that had a natural blood-red protrusion. The skilled craftsmen who made the ring used

At this point, a protruding shield was carved out of this piece of blood red. The shield was slightly carved with two extremely lifelike swords. However, the swords carved from red jade looked as if they were stained with blood, which was extremely bloody and terrifying.

Li Min fell in love with this thing as soon as he saw it. Rings are not uncommon. It was very popular to give rings to men and women in the Tang Dynasty when they were dating. However, Li Min was the first to carve shields and swords on the rings.

They met once. So he took out the ring, tried it on his ring finger, and found that the size was just right.

"Grandma, my grandson chose this ring. Do you think it's like custom-made for your grandson?" Li Min stretched out his hand to show it to everyone. He wore an emerald green ring with blood red on his fair fingers.

, looks really good.

"Liu Lang, this ring looks weird and makes people feel uncomfortable. Why do you like this thing?" Yang Fei frowned and said. She just felt that the carvings on this ring were both knives and swords, and the color was so bloody.

, seemed a little unlucky, but she seemed to like Li Min very much, and as a doting mother, she couldn't bear to let him change.

Seeing Li Min's liking, Empress Xiao sighed and said: "Min'er, you and your grandfather not only look alike, but also have similar preferences. This ring was his favorite back then. Even I can't touch it. You

If you like it, then take it!"

When Yang Guang died, Empress Xiao personally buried him with a few bed boards. Because it was too simple and she was afraid that others would destroy the body, so she asked her to take off some valuable things from Yang Guang, and this ring was one of them, but she

Like Concubine Yang, she felt that the style of this ring was weird and even a little evil, so she didn't want Li Min to choose this thing as a gift, but if Li Min liked it, she certainly wouldn't stop it.

"Thank you grandma for the gift!" Hearing that this ring turned out to be Yang Guang's favorite thing, Li Min liked it very much and bowed excitedly to thank him. He didn't think there was anything wrong with this ring.

There are everything, including skulls and ghosts, carved on it. Compared with those, the sword carvings on this jasper ring are nothing at all.

Seeing that Li Min finally chose the ring, Wu Liangan behind Empress Xiao turned pale, his lips trembled slightly and he wanted to say something to stop her, but in the end he still didn't.

After seeing off Concubine Yang and Li Ke, Empress Xiao returned to the bedroom. She was in a very good mood today and asked Wu Liang'an to cook more dishes in the kitchen. The old eunuch agreed and then slowly withdrew, but

Just when he walked to the door, he raised his head and glanced at Queen Xiao, and then murmured to himself with a very complicated expression: "My Lady, the ring you gave to His Highness Prince Liang, I really don't know that it harmed him.

Or did you help him?"

At the same time, a quarrel was taking place in the main hall of Li Min's Prince Liang's Mansion, and both parties to the quarrel were Li Min's subordinates. One of them was his right-hand assistant Wang Zihao, and the other was Yang Jiu, the steward of the winery.

.

"Your Highness, what our winery sells is reputation. How can we use that rotten grain to make wine? Isn't that just damaging our own brand?" Yang Jiu, a young man, said with a red face.

"Yang Jiu, why don't you understand yet? Those people only like spirits. As long as the wine tastes strong enough, nothing else matters. They can make wine anyway, and the prices are the same. Why can't we choose a more powerful one?

Where are the cheap raw materials for making wine?" Wang Zihao replied not to be outdone.

"Nonsense, we winemakers all have our own ethics, how can we use things that are fed to pigs to make wine for people to drink?" Yang Jiu was furious. If the current situation didn't allow it, he would have really wanted to beat this man who was full of food.

The stinky businessman had a meal.

Li Min looked at the two people arguing below and felt a little helpless. As soon as he came back today, the two of them clamored to see him, and they never stopped arguing from the beginning.

In fact, the reason for the quarrel between the two was very simple, because the wine-selling chamber of commerce of Wang Zihao discovered that the Hu people on the grassland liked Wu Wang Zui very much, and the reason why they liked it was because the wine was strong enough and very enjoyable to drink. As for other things, they didn't like it at all.

Care. It just so happens that it’s time to replace the old grain in several major granaries near Chang’an. Due to storage problems, there is always some grain in the lower part of the granary that will inevitably become moldy and spoiled. It is commonly known as rotten grain and cannot be eaten at all. In the past, it was sold half and half.

It is given to surrounding farmers to be used as feed for livestock.

After Wang Zihao saw this situation, he found a good way to reduce costs, which was to buy those rotten grains and use them for brewing, then distill them and sell them to those barbarians. Anyway, they only like spirits, and

The winery can also reduce costs, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. However, as a winemaker, Yang Jiu believed that this was detrimental to their professional ethics, so he did not agree at all. As a result, neither of them could convince the other, and in the end they had to let

Li Min came to make the decision.

Now that Li Min has figured out the cause of the matter, it's not about who is right or wrong. It's just a conflict of ideas. It's really hard for him to mediate this matter. After all, Wang Zihao is right. Businessmen pursue maximizing profits.

The nature of wine, and as a winemaker, it is understandable to maintain one's own integrity, so he was also very embarrassed. In the end, in desperation, Li Min simply pretended to be deaf and dumb, and did not help anyone, letting them make the noise on their own.

Whoever wins will listen to whoever wins.

However, listening to their quarrel, Li Min gradually felt a little bored. Finally, he 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 divided by the crossed swords on the shield,

There seemed to be something carved on it, but the magnification wasn't wrong, and the candlelight wasn't strong enough, so I couldn't see clearly at the moment.

However, while Li Min was looking at it, he did not notice that Wang Zihao and Yang Jiu, who had been arguing just now, stopped and stared at the jade ring in Li Min's hand strangely.
