Gifting with Gifts

In the past, the chamberlains were very respectful when they saw him, but as soon as his tone became slightly more serious, they would tremble like a frightened bird. How could they look like someone who would do such a thing?

"Of course it's true. It's not unusual for a chamberlain in the palace to steal and sell things. The chamberlain was a habitual thief. He stole the wine and resold it on the black market. It was paid by a drunkard who paid a large sum of money. It's a pity that he didn't have the luxury to enjoy it.

He was robbed by someone else."

It was as interesting as listening to a story. Li Shijian was already aroused when he heard what Li Jinshu said.

"What happened next?"

I saw him questioning Li Jinshu with great interest.

And the latter took the trouble to talk to him: "The person who robbed the wine was the matchmaker between the waiter and the drunkard. After robbing the wine, he resold it several times, and seven of them were transferred many years ago.

Fall into the hands of my deserted city."

"There is such a strange thing. A drunkard who is addicted to alcohol, a bold chamberlain, and a charlatan who wants to make money, all teamed up to steal and sell the royal wine at the wedding banquet of the late Emperor Leguo!"

It was the first time for Li Shijian to hear such strange talk. After all, no one would tell these palace secrets in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. That is to say, Li Jinshu, who did not belong to any royal family but was equally wealthy, dared to speak to him.

I talked about these things before.

"If His Highness the Crown Prince is interested, I can write a letter and send someone to deliver all the seven altars of glazed beauties in my mansion."

This glazed beauty's reputation as drunk was not small to begin with, but now it became even more colorful because of a strange secret told by Li Jinshu, which made Li Shiyao, who already liked it, couldn't help but lick his lips.

I originally thought that Li Jinshu was just talking nonsense, but hearing her tell it so vividly, it seemed like there was something serious about it.

Li Shiyao only believed her three points, and he couldn't help but be aroused by the alcohol bug in his belly. He wished he could take a sip now, and get the rumored rare glass beauty intoxication like fine wine.

Li Shijian wasn't very interested in these fine wines, but he knew that his second brother was a complete drunkard, but he was also very good-looking.

He glanced at Li Shiyao and saw that he was drunk. Li Shijian did not shirk and complied: "Well, thank you to the eldest lady for the gift of wine. However, such fine wine must be rare in the world. My second brother and I

You can only take two jars, you shouldn’t be so generous as a big girl.”

Such a precious wine, obtained after many twists and turns, must not be as valuable as they could imagine, and Li Shijian did not dare to ask for more.

Otherwise, when the news spreads, the royal families of other countries will also know how they have any connection with the eldest girl of the fifth family. If this causes political turmoil, it will be his fault.

"It's just a few jars of wine. It should be given as a meeting gift to your two highnesses."

Li Jinshu smiled brightly. Since he said he was sending seven altars, it was seven altars. There was no reason to skip five altars at once.

But one thing Li Shijian was right about was that she was indeed generous, but this generosity was not given to the two of them for free, but required something in return.

"In that case, I should give the eldest girl a gift in return. But I didn't bring anything long with me on this trip, and I couldn't bring out anything decent at the moment. How about I go back to Luoyan and do a good job?"

Choose something satisfactory for the big girl."

Since Li Jinshu brought out such a rare wine, he should give something valuable.

But Li Shijian lowered his head and looked at himself. Except for the blood jade pendant tied around his waist, there was really nothing he could do with it. The luggage he carried was mostly a change of clothes, and there was nothing of good quality.
