Chapter 457: Invitation from Mr. Li

Huang Ze dared not disobey the emperor's order, and quickly told him everything he saw about the Seventh Princess outside the palace.

Of course, there was a period of time when the Seventh Princess got rid of them because of Wu Fan's help, so he didn't know what happened during that period.

"You mean, Qi'er met a young man named Wu Fan outside the palace, and it was this young man who injured you?" After Huang Ze finished speaking, the old emperor asked back.

"Yes." Huang Ze replied.

"How did they know each other?" The old emperor asked.

The old emperor knew everyone the Seventh Princess had known before. After all, the Seventh Princess had only left the palace a few times before, and those few times were also to go to the homes of some ministers or nobles in the imperial capital. Therefore, the people the Seventh Princess knew were all children of ministers or nobles, and none of these people were named Wu Fan!

Therefore, the Wu Fan that the Seventh Princess knew must have been met outside the palace today.

Coincidentally, when the Seventh Princess was here just now, she praised Wu Fan for his great skills. Obviously, these two Wu Fans are likely to be the same person.

"I don't know." Huang Ze said.

"Go check! Check this matter for me! Don't miss any details, understand?" said the old emperor.

"I obey your order!" Huang Ze said respectfully.

After Huang Ze left, the old emperor was the only one left in the imperial study again. He did not read the memorial again, but was thinking about the matter between the Seventh Princess and Wu Fan. Just now, the Seventh Princess was here and spoke for Wu Fan more than once. The old emperor was already suspicious at that time. Now, after hearing Huang Ze's narration, it can be seen that the relationship between Wu Fan and the Seventh Princess seems to be extraordinary.

"Wu Fan, I am more and more interested in you." The old emperor whispered to himself.

At this time, Wu Fan did not know that the Seventh Princess Zhao Qi was grateful for his previous help and spoke for him many times in front of the old emperor, which attracted the attention of the old emperor. He was still strolling around Yanyang City with Luo Yang until it was dark, and then he took Luo Yang back to the official post station.

When Wu Fan returned to the official post station, there were two people waiting for him. One was Zhou Guang, who had been ordered by him to come to the imperial capital to present a birthday gift, and the other one Wu Fan did not know.

"Hello, Lord Wu. I am the housekeeper of Lord Li Ziyang's mansion. On the orders of my master, I invite Lord Wu to come to Li's mansion tonight for a gathering. My master has prepared a dinner to welcome you, Lord Wu." The person Wu Fan didn't know immediately said respectfully after seeing Wu Fan.

"Li Ziyang?" Wu Fan was slightly stunned. He didn't remember knowing such a person.

"My master is the chief officer of the Sifeng Division." The housekeeper explained.

Wu Fan nodded and understood. He didn't expect that this Lord Li was really enthusiastic. He had given gifts and people before, and now he was going to hold a welcoming banquet for himself. Was this too enthusiastic?

However, Wu Fan obviously would not agree. He said to the housekeeper: "Go back and tell your master that I thank him for his kindness, but I won't go to this welcoming banquet."

"This..." The housekeeper was embarrassed when he heard Wu Fan's words. Before coming here, his master told him to invite Wu Fan.

"Sir Wu, my master is sincere and I hope you can spare some time to visit me." said the housekeeper.

"I have other plans tonight. Tell your master that I will visit him if I have time." said Wu Fan.

After all, that Lord Li showed enough sincerity, and Wu Fan couldn't refuse bluntly. Moreover, it was not a bad thing for him to have a good relationship with a chief official of the Ministry of Personnel. Wu Fan was not a stubborn person.

Wu Fan had said so, and the housekeeper had no choice but to say: "Okay, I will convey Sir Wu's words."

"Yes." Wu Fan nodded.

The housekeeper bowed to Wu Fan and then turned to leave.

"Sir." After the housekeeper of Li's house left, Zhou Guang had time to bow and greet Wu Fan.

"Come and sit down." Wu Fan invited Zhou Guang to sit down next to him and said, "Tell me what you have gained in the imperial capital during this period."

Originally, according to the previous arrangement, Zhou Guang was going to return to Qingyuan County after giving gifts to the Seventh Princess. However, he later heard that Wu Fan was conferred the title of Viscount and would come to the imperial capital again, so he was not in a hurry to go back. In addition, when he left Qingyuan County, he brought several other pets with him, so he stayed in the imperial capital to sell those pets.

"My Lord, according to your request, after the birthday party of the Seventh Princess, I sold other pets in the city. The process went smoothly. Those pets are cute, and the rich businessmen and high officials in the city like them very much. In addition, with the Seventh Princess's living signboard, all the pets were sold out in less than a day. This is the money from selling pets." Zhou Guang took out a stack of gold notes and said to Wu Fan.

Wu Fan took it and said in surprise: "Six thousand gold coins?!"

You know, apart from the one given to the Seventh Princess, Zhou Guang only had three pets, and the three pets were sold for six thousand gold coins. This is not a small amount for Wu Fan, who has never saved much money and even owes a lot of debt to the old village chief.

You know, when Wu Fan was in the Hermit Village, the militia killed monsters and sold materials every day, but they could only sell for dozens of gold coins, sometimes even less. However, now a pet can be sold for about two thousand gold coins. The gap is really too big.

The back mountain is really a treasure trove!

Wu Fan sighed in his heart again.

"Sir, this is because I didn't know the tricks at the beginning. Otherwise, I might have been able to sell it at a higher price." Zhou Guang said: "After the pets were sold, many people came to my door and asked me if I had any more. There were still many people who wanted to buy them."

Wu Fan nodded and said: "I also brought some pets to the imperial capital this time. I'll leave it to you to sell them."

"Yes, sir." Zhou Guang replied.

"In addition to those pets, I also brought some other things this time. You should find a place in the imperial capital to rent a shop and prepare to sell those things. You can take this money and use it to rent a shop and the funds for activities." Wu Fan took out a gold note of 3,000 gold coins and gave it to Zhou Guang.

Wu Fan brought a lot of things, but for the entire Yanyang City, it was nothing. Even if there was no shop, it could still be sold. However, without a shop, it seemed irregular after all. Moreover, Wu Fan planned to sell those things in Yanyang City for a long time in the future, so a shop was still necessary.

"Yes, sir." Zhou Guang took the gold note and said respectfully.

Zhou Guang had not been in Yanyang City for nothing during this period of time. He was already familiar with the city, so it was not difficult for him to rent a shop.
