Chapter 34 Seeking British Cooperation

Liu Mingguo is also a person who has seen it, the whole bag of gold leaves is stuffed into his hand, and he can "touch" it when he "touches it", and what it contains is not silver, but gold. I secretly sighed in my heart, why is this girl so rich, and what is the origin of this Li family, it seems that she must inquire in the future, no wonder Fang Congzhe will help her.

"Miss Li, isn't your gift a little too thick, our family really doesn't dare to accept it......" Liu Mingguo said deliberately.

"Father-in-law is polite, it is a great honor for the little woman to be able to appreciate your subordinates." After speaking, Li Qiongying immediately turned around and retreated behind Yue Su.

"This ...... This...... Mrs. Yue...... You look at ......"

"Father-in-law, this is also Miss Li's heart, you can accept it." Yue Su understood what Liu Mingguo meant, and deliberately gave him a step.

"Since Mrs. Yue has said so, then I ...... It's disrespectful......" After speaking, Liu Mingguo put all the rewards of Li Qiongying and Mu Tianjiao into his cuffs.

Subsequently, Liu Mingguo said: "Taifu Yue, Your Majesty has asked Qin Tianjian to choose a good day and an auspicious day, and it is said that it will be a good day in three days, but it is too hasty, let the emperor give it a no." Later, he said that the nineteenth day of the next month was a good day, suitable for a big wedding, and His Majesty set that day. It's only the seventh day of the new year, and there is still more than a month before the main day, so it's too late for anything. Last time, the emperor gave the lord the house of the criminal department, and His Majesty said that it should be used when the big *** got married, and he still took it and cleaned it up. ”

"Thank you father-in-law for your advice, this official will enter the palace to see the emperor later, and from now on, I will '' the marriage." Yue Su said with a smile.

"That's good." Liu Mingguo said, looked at Mu Tianjiao, and said: "County Lord, the emperor also said that today he will issue an order to summon the Duke of Qianguo into Beijing, first, to commend your Mu family's meritorious service to the court for generations, second, to let your father and daughter reunite in the capital, and third, to let the lord take a look at his son-in-law and drink a glass of wine toasted by his uncle." ”

"The emperor is as kind to my Mu family as a mountain, so thoughtful, I am here to thank my father for long live." After speaking, Mu Tianjiao knelt on the ground in the direction of the Forbidden City, and snorted three times in a row, "Thank you, Lord Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

After Mu Tianjiao got up, Liu Mingguo said again: "Taifu Yue, the emperor instructed that when you enter the palace to thank you, you will bring the county lord with you." The queen misses the county lord very much and wants to talk to the county lord. ”

"This is nature, this is nature......" Yue Su hurriedly agreed.

It stands to reason that since you are allowed to bring your wife into the palace to thank you, you should let him bring all three of them, but in the end, only the county lord is allowed, what is the reason, is it because of Mu Tianjiao's identity?

Yes, it's because of who she is.

There are a lot of nobles in the Ming Dynasty, but now there are not many people who really have real power, and the first person who can rank first is the British Duke Zhang Weixian, Zhang Jue is not an empty lord, just doing business, and he still has a position in the court, and he is the governor of the Chinese army. It is regarded as the world's first-class honor.

In addition to him, there are three families that are extremely heavy, one is counted as the Duke of Qianguo, and the other two are Xu Hongji, the descendant of Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, and Zhu Chunchen, the descendant of Zhu Neng, the Duke of Chengguo. Xu Hongji was the assistant defender of Nanjing, and led the military capital to the Zuo Governor, which was regarded as the same military power in Nanjing as the Nanjing Military Department. In the Ming Dynasty, the rights of the military department and the five military governors were not the same, they belonged to mutual checks and balances, the military department had the right to transfer troops, and the capital governor's office had the right to command the army. Zhu Chunchen, like Zhang Weixian, is also in Beijing, and is now the governor of the Left Army.

These four are all first-class real power nobles, and the emperors of the past dynasties have also been quite polite and relied on these four families. Therefore, it is reasonable that Zhu Youxiao can let Mu Tianjiao enter the palace alone. Moreover, this is Zhang Yan's idea again, because if the three ladies enter the palace together to thank him, Ruan Aoyue will always seem to overshadow Mu Tianjiao, you can summon Mu Tianjiao alone, you can immediately improve Mu Tianjiao's identity, and it is also good-looking on the face of Qianguo Gong, which can be regarded as giving your Mu family enough face.

Next, Liu Mingguo handed over to Ruan Aoyue's wife Xia Wei, and Yue Su made a simple arrangement, only taking Mu Tianjiao and following Liu Mingguo into the palace to thank her.

The news of the emperor's marriage spread far and wide, and soon spread throughout Beijing. The marriage with the Li family, in the eyes of some people, is nothing, but the marriage with the Duke of Qianguo is a sensation. Some officials who are close to Yue Su are very happy, and the officials who are hostile to Yue Su have to scold again, the content is nothing more than that Mu Tianjiao is a widow "woman", you Yue Su really has no shame, took the initiative to hook up with others, and left people in the mansion, "forced" the emperor to marry the county lord to you again in order to protect the reputation of the Duke of Qianguo, which is really insulting. No, you Yue Su is not even a Sven scum at all, his fame is copied, how can he be qualified to be called Sven.

It's all a posture that can't eat grapes and thinks grapes are sour. Yes, Yue Su now has the foreign aid of Qianguo Gong, and it is not more difficult to bring it down.

The Li family also got the news in the shortest possible time, and when Li Wenzhang heard the good news, he almost didn't jump up with joy, and finally waited for this day. The emperor gives marriage!

Fang Congzhe is now in Li Wenzhang's house, and there is a first-class banquet in the flower hall, and the three of them, including Li Yuanchen, raise a glass to celebrate. In addition to celebrating, Li Wenzhang had to thank Fang Congzhe again.

Fang Congzhe showed very modesty, without any credit, except for humility, which was to thank the Li family for their help and let him return to the cabinet.

You use me, I use you, help each other, and take what you need.

After three rounds of drinking, Fang Congzhe said goodbye and returned home, and the Li family father and son personally sent them to the door, watching Fang Congzhe leave in the sedan chair, and then returned to the flower hall.

Sitting down again, Li Yuanchen poured himself and his father's wine, raised his glass, and said, "Father, you haven't been so happy for a long time, the child toasts you." ”

"Good, good ......" Li Wenzhang raised the wine and drank it with his son. He also said: "Yuanchen, can my father be unhappy, your sister finally found Ruyi Langjun, my heart is one more thing, and it is also the emperor's marriage, glorious lintel, which will be more helpful to the future development of my Li family." ”

"Yes, my sister can get her wish and marry Yue Su, I am also very happy, I think she must be very happy today. By the way, father, the British duke's incident, shouldn't we do it? It was because it dragged on for too long that it almost caused a great change, so that the villain had an opportunity to take advantage of it. Li Yuanchen said.

"Yes, it should have been done. So tonight let people prepare gifts, and let the Father himself come to the house tomorrow. Li Wenzhang said heartily.

"Father, you have to go yourself...... Leave it to the child. Li Yuanchen said with some puzzlement.

"Your portion is not enough, and the reason why you have delayed for so long for your father and have not gone is also because your previous father's portion was not enough. Now that the emperor has given your sister a marriage, the father is qualified to negotiate with the British prince in person. ”

"What the father said was that the child got carried away for a while and didn't expect it."

Subsequently, Li Yuanchen drank two more glasses with his father, and then went out and instructed his subordinates to prepare colorful gifts immediately.

In the afternoon of the next day, Li Wenzhang personally took his family and pulled gifts to the British Mansion.

Before coming to the British Mansion, Li Wenzhang stepped down from the sedan chair, asked people to send name cards and gift lists, and stuffed silver into the porter, and asked someone to go and spread it.

Zhang Weixian was drinking tea in the flower hall, the porter presented the post and the gift list, Zhang Weixian looked at the gift list, the gift was indeed rich, and then looked at the name of the person who came, and wondered in his heart, "Isn't this Li Wenzhang of Li Ji Satin Village, why did he suddenly come to me to give gifts?" Could it be because of that incident last time? ”

The Li family robbed their own business, and in normal times, Zhang Weixian would never meet them. No matter how rich you are a businessman, what can you do, Lao Tzu is the first-class duke of the imperial court, how can he take you seriously. Just send a steward and you can have a conversation on an equal footing.

But today is different, the news of the emperor's marriage, Lord Zhang got the news yesterday, and inquired about the origin of the Miss Li family, and learned that it was the daughter of Li Wenzhang, the big boss of Li Ji Satin Village. The emperor can match Miss Li to Yue Su, it seems that this Li family is not a small skill, and it is inconvenient to slack off. So, I said "please".

After a while, Li Wenzhang came to the flower hall under the guidance of the porter. As soon as the front foot crossed the threshold, he gave Zhang Weixian a salute, Zhang Weixian didn't even stand up, and made a perfunctory remark to invite Li Wenzhang to sit down.

This is the first time Li Wenzhang has received such a cold reception, but he is very deep in the city, even if he doesn't like it, he doesn't show it in the slightest. calmly walked to the lower hand and sat down, as soon as his butt stuck to the chair, he heard Zhang Weixian say: "Boss Li, I don't know what you are doing in Benjue's Mansion today?" ”

Good guy, it's direct, even the greetings and politeness are saved, and they rush to the topic when they come up.

The other party was like this, and Li Wenzhang was inconvenient to beat around the corner, smiled slightly, and said: "Sir, Li Mou came this time because he wanted to talk to him about business. ”

"Talk to me about business...... Zhang Weixian's face "revealed" a disdainful "color", if it weren't for the emperor's marriage, he would definitely give a direct order and call a steward to talk to Li Wenzhang. Talk to the duke about business, do you deserve it?

Contempt is contempt, Zhang Weixian still didn't call his subordinates to talk, and said, "I don't know what kind of business it is?" ”

"Big business. A big business that makes money every day. Li Wenzhang said firmly.

"Oh?" As soon as he heard that he was making money every day, Zhang Weixian's eyelids were still open, and he asked, "Tell me, why is it a day of gold?" ”

"Trumpet and the lord's mansion are now doing silk business, and it is considered lucky, the business of the trumpet has always been good, and now the business is getting bigger and bigger, and the shops are opening more and more, relying on my Li family's own strength, I am afraid that it will be difficult to support in the capital, so I want to find a partner to make the silk business bigger together." Li Wenzhang said with a smile.

"Partnering with Benjue to do silk business, you will choose the time, Benjue's silk goods have just been robbed, and you came here, are you planning to pull Benjue? To be honest, this little money, Benjue doesn't care about it. Zhang Weixian thought it was a big business, but when he heard that he was making silk again, he immediately lost interest. His British duke has not yet been reduced to cooperating with others to earn this little money. You must know that in Beijing City is the entire Ming Dynasty, and the name of the British Duke is also worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, and there are those who want to ask him to partner.

After speaking, Zhang Weixian directly picked up the teacup.
