Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Prince Likes Martial Talents
Li Mo has been really busy these days. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In order to facilitate the emperor to pay tribute to the late eldest grandson queen, the prince took advantage of the limelight of the eldest grandson Wuji to take charge of the three provincial affairs of Shangshu, and asked him to build a temple of mercy and grace in Jinchangfang to reward his mother. And because of the death of Fang Xuanling, he also implored the emperor to invite the portraits of the heroes of Lingyan Pavilion into the Temple of Mercy and Grace for worship.
The emperor basically did not think much about it and approved the prince's performance, and ordered him to supervise it with full powers, and the direct consequence of this will was that Li Mo's doppelganger was lacking.
"What else is waiting outside? Didn't you already explain that you didn't see you today? Li Mo rubbed his brows, looking at the piled up of stickers on the desk, it was really a headache.
"Lord, there are also shopkeepers Liu of Hui Ji, shopkeepers of the Qin family, and shopkeepers Cheng of the Cheng family waiting outside." It's not easy to deal with the subordinates who are waiting outside, these people are all supported by someone in the court, if they are sent away at will, I am afraid that they will not look good on the face.
"Arrange for them to eat in the side room!" Li Mo thought about it and stopped insisting.
These three are all operating timber business in the city, and behind them are supported by the Chi family of the Duke of E, the Qin family of the Duke of Hu and the Cheng family of the Duke of Lu, and they are the leaders in the timber industry.
"Yes!" The man outside the door answered and went away.
Li Mo leaned on the soft couch and closed his eyes to recuperate. He didn't give any opinion on Li Zhi's idea. Although he knew that at least half of the idea was for him, and the remaining half was for the eldest grandson, he did not object.
Li Shimin gave Li Mo the idea of rewarding him for meritorious deeds in the name of righteousness, so that he could marry a young lady from a family in the future, but Li Mo wanted to improve his status by pushing the boat down the river, so that he could be more prosperous when he married a businessman.
Although Li Mo is not without money, if he violates the system, the trouble that will come is not small, only if he has a higher status, he can make her beautiful when he marries a businessman, and he will not wronged her.
The two sides had their own ideas, but the final result was surprisingly consistent, which was a surprise for Li Shimin, at least he saw that his son did not refuse his kindness, which also made him feel a lot more comfortable. Or, this is the only good news since Fang Xuanling's death.
"Lord! The merchant girl is here. As soon as Li Yan entered the door, he saw Li Mo's appearance of closing his eyes and recuperating, so he lowered his voice, although he knew that Li Mo must have heard his footsteps a long time ago, but he also subconsciously maintained the respect he deserved.
"Merchant?" Li Mo opened his eyes with some surprise, just thinking about what he would use when marrying her in the future, why did she come here?
"Yes, the girl is waiting for the Lord in the little pavilion in the back garden!"
Looking at the undisguised joy on Li Mo's face, Li Yan was also a little happy, it was rare to see the lord so happy, fortunately there was a merchant girl, otherwise I don't know how long the lord would have to suffer himself!
Before Li Yan's words fell, Li Mo's people had already flashed out of the door and rushed to the small pavilion in the back garden with an eager face, leaving Li Yan standing in place and looking at his back with a stunned expression.
"Why are you here?"
Looking at the graceful woman in the pavilion wearing a thin skirt with autumn fragrance, the indifference on Li Mo's face suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by a thick surprise.
"What? Not happy I'm here? ”
The merchant looked at Li Mo's rushing figure, his heart seemed to be hit by a pebble, and the gentle ripples surrounded her in a circle, and the feeling of joy also expanded little by little, obviously overjoyed, but his mouth pouted playfully.
"No, no! I just didn't think you'd be here today! Li Mo saw Shang Shang's pouting lips but shiny appearance in his eyes, knowing that she was teasing herself, but she still couldn't help but want to clarify, lest it lighten her heart.
"You seem to be busy these days!" Shang Shang saw that Li Mo was anxious, and he no longer teased him, but he only felt sweeter in his heart, as if he had eaten honey.
"Well, the prince has made a Temple of Mercy and Grace to build, and he is agreeing on the candidates for the materials these days, and the more people in the house are coming, so he is busy."
Li Mo stepped forward, pulled the merchant to sit down in the pavilion, and looked at her carefully, she hadn't seen her for a few days, her complexion seemed to be fine, and she didn't seem to have suffered any grievances in the palace.
"Really? That's a fat gap! It seems that we can make a small fortune again! The businessman looked at Li Mo jokingly, such projects have been the fattest in the past! Don't talk about multi-millionaires after a project, millionaires shouldn't have run away, right?
"I just want to earn you a name, and I don't want to wronged you to be a businesswoman in the future." Li Mo looked at the light smile on the merchant's face and said softly.
"What's wrong with the merchant woman? When the time comes, I will accompany you to do business, and we will also be a happy Tao Zhugong, why not? You're a businessman, I'm a businesswoman, aren't you a perfect match? ”
The businessman didn't care about his little nose, but he felt a little sorry for Li Mo. In fact, from the perspective of her later generations, there is really nothing inferior to being a businessman, and who among the rich people in later generations is not a cow?
Li Mo looked at the merchant with emotion. He knew that businessmen would not look down on him because of this, but the more this was the case, the more he wanted to give the best to businessmen, if it wasn't for his identity, he really wanted to marry businessmen in the most sensational way in the world! Let everyone in the world know that Shang Shang is his Li Mo's wife!
"That's not going to work! I can't wronged you! Li Mo held the businessman's small white hand and gently rubbed it in his palm, the soft touch of the coagulate made him reluctant to let go.
"I'm marrying you, not marrying your identity, if I really care about this, are there still few high-ranking officials and nobles in Chang'an City? Why do you force yourself like this? ”
The merchant raised a hand and stroked Li Mo's cheek, looking at Li Mo's eyes as if he was hurting a child, at this time Li Mo was like a fragile child, stubbornly wanting to take what he thought was the most precious thing to the person he cared about, as if it was not enough to prove his sincerity, such stubbornness made her feel distressed!
"Hehehe!" Li Mo smirked twice, no longer arguing, even if the businessman doesn't care anymore, but he is a man, how can he not let his woman be wronged, the businessman deserves the best!
Looking at Li Mo's stupid face, the businessman could only be speechless. Never mind! Whatever he likes, do whatever he wants! As long as he's happy!
"That's right! Have you come here at this hour, have you eaten lunch? Li Mo seemed to suddenly remember, looking at Shang Shang's face, at this hour, the lunch in the palace should not have been sent down yet, right?
"Oops! When you interrupt me, I almost forget about business. Only then did Shang Shang suddenly remember his purpose for coming to the Prince's Palace.
She slipped out without eating lunch just because of what she heard in the palace last time, and she almost forgot about it when Li Mo interrupted her! Really!
"What's the matter?" Li Mo looked at the businessman with a shocked look on his face with some suspicion, what made her run out without eating lunch?
"Uh-" Although the words came to his lips, the businessman didn't know how to say it, after all, this privacy involved not only Li Ke and Wu Meiniang, but also Li Zhi, who Li Mo valued the most, how should she phrase it?
Li Mo looked at the businessman's dilemma, and gradually understood something in his heart. The last time he was like this was when the merchant told him about Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang, is it related to them this time?
"Let's eat something first! Talk while eating, don't rush. Li Mo interrupted the merchant's thinking and asked his subordinates to bring food up. No matter how important it is, it's not as important as filling your stomach.
Raising his eyes to look at Li Mo, the businessman smiled understandingly, it seemed that Li Mo had seen her hesitation.
She really felt like she didn't know what to do with such a thing. On the reasoning of Li Ke, Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang, this is incest at all, but for some reason, perhaps it is influenced by the historical facts of later generations, and businessmen always subconsciously feel that this is normal! But in front of Li Mo, Li Shimin's son, she really didn't know what to say, what a chaotic feeling!
The subordinates went to lunch like a stream and retreated, although the merchants did not come much, but every time Li Mo personally accompanied him, there were celebrities around the prince, and the subordinates were also very interested not to bother.
Li Mo carefully removed the fish bones, and then put a chopstick of snow-white and crystal fish into the merchant's bowl, and encouraged the merchant to eat more with his eyes.
The merchant was indeed hungry, he only ate two palace points when he got up early in the morning, and he was busy going to the Shanggong Bureau to hand over the waist card out of the palace, and he didn't even drink a sip of water, and his stomach was already empty when he arrived.
"Is it about governance?" When the merchant had almost eaten, Li Mo asked with the bowl. In fact, he already had eight points of affirmation in his heart.
"Hmm!" The merchant paused with his hand holding the dish before humming softly.
"I just want to ask you, what is the situation of the prince and the martial arts now."
Shang Shang didn't know how to speak for a while, so he simply asked Li Zhi about his current situation first, and only after he understood that he could speak, after all, she had only seen the prince's dealings with martial artists once, and the specific situation was not clear.
"The prince is the same as the martial artist?" Li Mo's expression became a little strange, how should he describe it? In his impression, Li Zhi had never been so strange.
The merchant looked at Li Mo's expression, and felt that Li Zhiding had a problem, but the severity of the problem was not something she knew, so she didn't say anything at the moment, waiting for Li Mo's next step.
"In the past few days, I've gotten a little closer to the martial arts, but I can't see anything yet." After thinking about it, Li Mo still decided to tell the truth, but Li Zhi's attitude made him a little difficult to describe.
In the past few days, although Li Zhi's contact with Wu Meiniang has not exceeded the norm, for some reason, he always feels that Li Zhi has a strange excitement when he looks at Wu Meiniang's expression, as if he has found something interesting, and he is happy to do it.
"Mo, are you hiding something from me?"
Regarding Li Mo's hesitation, the businessman saw it in his eyes, and he also understood in his heart that Li Zhi's question must not be simple, otherwise Li Mo would not have shown such an expression that he didn't know how to phrase.
"Nope! It's just that there are some things I don't know what to say. Li Mo smiled lightly and stroked Shang Shang's head.
The merchant is still young, and she may not understand some things when she says them, so let's wait and see what happens! If the martial artist really threatens the rule, it's a big deal that he will take action in person!
"Is the prince in love with martial artists?"
Shang Shang cautiously looked at Li Mo's face, although reluctantly, she still whispered her words out, she needed an affirmative answer from Li Mo.
Li Mo looked at Shang Shang with a shocked expression. How could she say it with such certainty and so indifference? Although the merchant used to ask questions, Li Mo still heard the certainty in those words!
