Shi Wei bent over, hunched over, reminiscing.

Seeing that his cousin hadn't left yet, he hurriedly pretended to cough and said, "It's nothing, I just choked on a mouthful of saliva, cousin, go back and rest quickly." ”

Yu Guizhi no longer doubted, went out with the bowl, and gently closed the door.

Shi Wei let out a long breath and lay on the desk weakly.

There was a rustling sound, and Fan Peilan crawled out from under the desk.

At this time, her face was as red as a burning cloud, and her eyes were as veined as autumn water, but the cherry mouth seemed to be slightly swollen, and there were still a few wisps of residue at the corners of her mouth.

Shi Wei gasped, looking at Shi Niang's messy appearance, he felt more and more cute, stretched out his hand to his mouth to gesture, and said with a smile: "Shi Niang, there are traces here." ”

Fan Peilan touched the side of her mouth, and when she knew what was going on, she was so ashamed that she didn't dare to look at Shi Wei squarely, and quickly picked up a handkerchief to wipe those residues clean.

"Master, I didn't expect you to be widowed for so many years, but your methods are still so powerful, you really almost took my life." Shi Wei took Fan Peilan into his arms.

Fan Peilan lowered her eyebrows and smiled, poked her fingertips into his chest, and complained: "It's all you bastard, you will bully your master, now you should be beautiful." ”

"Beauty is beautiful, but there are still some fly in the ointment, if it can be that next time, then it is really beautiful."

Shi Wei spoke evilly, and his hand slid down restlessly.

"Don't mess around, it's not clean, you're so bad at touching." Fan Peilan snorted and quickly opened his hand from his hips.

Now the relationship between the two is one layer closer, and they are only a little short of piercing the window paper.

Therefore, in Shi Wei's heart, there is a lot less respect for her like a teacher, and he treats her more as his own woman, and there are more teasing and teasing elements in his words.

Fan Peilan tossed him up, and he was a little tired at this time, where could he withstand such teasing.

So she pushed him lightly on the chest, struggled out of his arms, twisted his waist and walked out the door.

Shi Wei reluctantly shouted, "Master, are you leaving?" ”

"If I don't leave again, I'm really afraid that your cousin Guizhi will be considerate of you again, and if I bump into it again, won't it make her suspicious."

Fan Peilan combed her messy hair, tidied up the torn clothes, and then carefully opened the door a crack, and when she saw that no one was in the courtyard, she tiptoed out.

Looking at the back of Shi Niang's departure, Shi Wei recalled Fang Cai's thrilling experience, which was really memorable.

At this time, in his mind, he couldn't help but look forward to something more "deep".

…………………………………… Two days later, Shi Wei had just written and handed over what had happened in Zhending Mansion to the text, and another document was sent from Zhongshu Province in a blink of an eye, ordering Shi Wei to assist the second prince Dezhao in negotiating with the Liao.

After the Liao delegation arrived in Bianjing, Zhao Dezhao and Yelu Gaoba's several meetings were just some greetings from the etiquette surname, and now with the deepening of the meeting, the two sides began to enter the topic of the substantive surname.

Zhao Dezhao was because Shi Wei got along well with the Khitans earlier, so he asked him to test the other party's tone first.

Shi Wei received the king's order, and went to the Khitan pavilion in the afternoon of the same day.

"Brother, I didn't expect you to be alive, it's great." As soon as Fang met, Yelu Gaoba excitedly gave Shi Wei a hug.

"Thank you Lord Yelu for your concern, thanks to the blessing of your lord, Shi is finally in danger." Shi Wei was not as enthusiastic as Yelu Gaoba.

Yelu Gaoba's expression was a little unhappy with his title of "adult", and he complained: "You and I are brothers, and your name is so obvious. ”

Shi Wei said lightly: "Right now, I am here on the orders of the emperor, and I dare not use it at my own expense, and I hope Lord Yelu will forgive me." ”

There are many eyes and ears in Bianjing, and Shi Wei does not dare to get too close to the Liao people, so as not to be slandered.

Yelu Gaoba felt Shi Wei's solemnity, and his enthusiastic expression gradually converged, and his expression quickly calmed down.

"If that's the case, then Lord Shi, please come inside." Yelu Gaoba took out the Liao envoy's shelf and waved his hand to invite Shi Wei in.

The guest of honor was settled.

Yelu Gao said loudly: "I don't beat around the bush, this time I sent an envoy to your country, just in the hope of expanding border trade with your country, I don't know if your country's son of heaven will not allow it." ”

"But I don't know what kind of trade your country wants to expand." Shi Wei was not in a hurry to answer, and asked rhetorically.

Yelu Gao said: "First of all, of course, I hope that our two countries can open several times more fields on the border, and secondly, I also hope that your country can open up the scope of trade and add coin trading to the trade list." ”

Shi Wei sneered in his heart, Yelu Gaoba is opening his mouth in the lion.

The Khitans lacked copper and silver, and their coinage technology was backward, and the primitive means of bartering was still widely present in the domestic economy.

When the Khitan people first founded the country, the economy was not developed, but in recent years, with the deepening of sinicization, the domestic economy has developed greatly, and the demand for coins has also increased.

Because of the backwardness of Liao's coinage technology, it had to use a large number of Song money, and with the development of its economy, the dependence on Song money became more and more serious.

Yelu Gaoba wanted to include the numismatic trade in the list of trade goods, so he naturally wanted to use this to import a large number of coins from the Great Song Dynasty to facilitate the development of the domestic economy.

"Well, it's not a secret, when I pacified the puppet Tang Dynasty a few days ago, I spent more than 10 million dollars, and now there is a shortage of coins in the country, and at this time, it is really inconvenient to sell coins to your country."

According to Dezhao's instructions, coins, as an important economic means to restrain the Liao State, would not be listed as trade in any case, so Shi Wei casually made up an excuse.

Yelu Gaoba's face suddenly showed displeasure.

Shi Wei smiled again: "Although the coin trade is not possible, but the addition of other varieties is not necessary, in fact, I have been thinking about the friendship with your state for generations, and I have been thinking about expanding trade, the Son of Heaven said, if your state is willing, I am willing to double the original tea output." ”

Tea was the most advantageous export product of the Great Song Dynasty and was deeply liked by the Khitan upper class.

Now that the Southern Tang Dynasty has been pacified, a large area of tea fields in the south of the Yangtze River has been included in the territory, and the tea output in the country has doubled compared with the past.

In the view of the Son of Heaven, the "luxury" of tea, sold to the Liao State can not only increase income, but also do not pose any threat to the country, and the more exports, the better.

Yelu Gaoba heard that Song Fang was willing to increase the export of tea, and his originally unhappy expression soon revealed a little joy.

It is no wonder that tea is the favorite consumption outlet of the nobles of the Liao State, and Yelu Gaoba, as a member of the royal family, is naturally deeply interested in it.

In the ensuing negotiations, Yelu Gaoba made several more demands.

According to Dezhao's instructions, Shi Wei refused all trade that might pose a threat to the Great Song Dynasty.

At the same time, in order not to destroy the relationship with the Liao people, Shi Wei showed the generosity of the Great Song Dynasty in some inconsequential aspects, which could be regarded as keeping Yelu Gaoba from returning empty-handed.

Nayelu Gaoba seemed to have been mentally prepared for the attitude of the Song court, and after several unsuccessful attempts, he had no choice but to give up.

After talking for a whole afternoon, Shi Wei and Yelu Gaoba preliminarily negotiated several intentions and successfully completed his task.

Next, it is up to Zhao Dezhao to personally come forward and formally negotiate a trade treaty with the Liao.

After finishing the business, Shi Wei got up and said goodbye.

At this moment, a Khitan maid came out, saying that it was the lord of Yelu Siyun County, and wanted to ask him Lord Shi to go and diagnose his injuries.

"Is Lord Yelu injured?" Shi Weiqi said.

After asking, he learned that when there was a fierce battle in the valley, Yelu Siyun was forced off the carriage by Yang Yanqi, but when he landed, he sprained his leg and foot.

Recalling what happened back then, Yelu Siyun was also fighting to the death with Yang Yanqi to save herself, so to speak, the injuries on her body were for herself.

Thinking of this, Shi Wei no longer had any scruples, and hurriedly followed the maid to the backyard of the pavilion.

Stepping into the boudoir, Shi Wei saw at a glance that the lord of Yelu was sitting on the bed wiping her scimitar.

recalled the night in Xiongzhou, she danced like a lark, and remembered the battle of Taniguchi, she fought desperately to save herself.

Goodbye at this time, Shi Wei realized that he still missed this Khitan woman a little.

"Xiaguan has seen Lord Yelu." Shi Wei gathered his mind and bowed.

When Yelu Siyun looked up and saw him, a cheerful smile immediately appeared on his face, and he was about to get up.

Shi Wei knew that she had an injury on her leg, so he hurriedly stepped forward in a few steps and said, "The county lord is injured, just sit down, don't get up." ”

Yelu Siyun's fiery eyes swept around him unscrupulously, and there was no concealment of joy between his eyebrows, and he suddenly raised his hand and punched him heavily in the chest.

"You, with such a big life, really didn't die." Yelu Siyun smiled excitedly.

She is a person who knows martial arts, and this cold punch made Shi Wei feel that his ribs were about to break.

He grinned and complained: "The lower official didn't kill the thief, I'm afraid he will be stoned to death by the county lord's fist." ”

"You big man, give me a punch, don't yell like a woman." There was a bit of contempt in Yelu Siyun's words.

Shi Wei thought that this Hu woman was really "barbaric", and he still had to make less trouble, otherwise he would have to bear it.

He took a few breaths and said, "The lower official heard that the county lord Yelu has an injury on his leg, so he has come to see the county lord, and the county lord will let me see your injury." ”

Yelu Siyun waved his hand and said: "I have a small injury on my leg, but Xiao Siman has already treated me, and now it doesn't matter, so I don't need you to see it." ”

"If that's the case, why did the county lord ask the maidservant to call the lower officials?" Shi Wei was puzzled.

Yelu Siyun smiled: "I called you here, but in fact, I have other physical discomforts, and I want you to take a look." ”

At this time, the maidservant had already served the tea, and Shi Wei asked while drinking, "But I don't know how unwell the county lord is?" ”

Yelu Siyun said: "My moon water has not come until now, it is this disease. ”

"Poof—"

Shi Wei just took the tea in his mouth and squirted it out in one breath.
