"Beauty plan" Liu Ziqiu couldn't help laughing and said, "I didn't expect that the Li family was still using this old-fashioned routine, Liu's wife just came here, but they miscalculated and told her that Liu was very busy and didn't have time to see her."

The look on Ji Rentai's face became strange, and he said cautiously: "The eldest lady of the Li family is not here to meet the lord, but to see the lady."

Liu Ziqiu was slightly stunned: "What does she want to see her wife do?"

Ji Rentai bowed his head and said, "My subordinates don't know if my subordinates are here to ask the lord if they want to pass for her."

Liu Ziqiu groaned: "She came to ask to see Mrs. Liu, but it is inconvenient to stop it, so you send someone to tell Mrs. to see what Mrs. means."

At this time, Gao Xiu'er had just returned from Empress Xiao, and heard that a young lady from the Li family in Longxi came to ask to see her, and couldn't help but be silent

The name of the Li family in Longxi is very loud, Gao Xiuer knows that if she has a good relationship with the Li family in Longxi, it will definitely be very helpful to Liu Ziqiu's great cause, but Liu Ziqiu owes too many love debts, and the young lady of the Xie family is still staying in the nunnery and refuses to come out, how can she provoke a young lady of the Li family

Anyway, since people came to the door, it was not a matter to avoid it, Gao Xiu'er pondered for a moment and said, "Then invite her in"

Li Mingyue couldn't help but be overjoyed when she heard that her wife had agreed to meet her

The woman's mind is really strange, she didn't look down on Liu Ziqiu at all, she was very dissatisfied with Li Changfeng's desire to give her to Liu Ziqiu as a concubine, but Liu Ziqiu actually ignored her, Li Mingyue was a little unhappy in her heart, and when she heard that Liu Ziqiu's wife arrived in Hongnong, Li Mingyue rushed over to see what kind of character Liu Ziqiu's wife was, so that Liu Ziqiu turned a blind eye to her

When she came over today, she deliberately dressed up gorgeously and elegantly, showing the demeanor of the daughter of the family, walking in the back house of the Yang family, and quite complacent, and further inside, she heard a string of silver bell-like laughter, and three graceful young women in the courtyard were teasing a child

Li Mingyue knew two of them, one was Lin Qiaoer, who was said to be a slave from a humble background, and the other was Mu Duoli, who seemed to be a prisoner of war from the Turks, although these two young women were Liu Ziqiu's women, but Li Mingyue regarded herself as a famous family and never took them seriously

The woman sitting in the middle made Li Mingyue's eyes light up, Li Mingyue was quite confident in her appearance, but after seeing this woman, she also felt inferior, of course, the pride of the eldest lady of the Li family could not be lost, she just hesitated a little and straightened her chest again

Gao Xiu'er let go of Liu Sigen's little hand and looked at Li Mingyue with a smile on her face: "This is the eldest lady of the Li family, who came to show the eldest lady tea, I don't know what the eldest lady saw me."

Li Mingyue actually didn't have anything, just vanity, and wanted to compare with Gao Xiu'er, but now seeing Gao Xiu'er's calm demeanor, she was a little uncalm, and she didn't know what to say for a while

At this time, Lin Qiaoer brought a cup of fragrant tea to her

As a young lady of the family, Li Mingyue is also an extremely smart woman, and when she saw that cup of tea, she suddenly had an idea, and said with a smile: "The folk girl Li Mingyue has seen Mrs. Xi Rì in Longxi, Lord Liu once taught the woman a new method of tea, but I heard Lord Liu tell him that his tea ceremony was also learned from a Jiangnan woman, and today I heard that Mrs. came here from Jiangnan, so the people rushed over to ask Mrs. for advice or two, and I hope that Mrs. will not hesitate to give advice."

This kind of tea ceremony has been quite popular in Jiangnan, but others don't know, Gao Xiuer knows it, this kind of tea ceremony is clearly made up by Liu Ziqiu, of course, the young lady of the Xie family has also seen a little bit of fur before meeting Liu Ziqiu, under the guidance of Liu Ziqiu, Miss Xie's tea art has advanced by leaps and bounds, and she can be deservedly called the first person in the Jiangnan tea ceremony

Li Mingyue wants to learn the tea ceremony, and Gao Xiu'er can understand it, but why did Liu Ziqiu mention the Jiangnan woman, but Liu Ziqiu still can't forget Miss Xie in his heart

The question only flashed in Gao Xiu'er's heart, she quickly regained her composure, smiled and waved her hand, and said: "I only know a little about the way of drinking tea, but there is a person in Jiangnan who is in this way, but it's a pity that even I can't see her."

The Li family also has business in Jiangnan, so they naturally know that Jiangnan is the foundation of Liu Ziqiu, Liu Ziqiu's power is not a second person in Jiangnan, even the deep-rooted Jiangnan Xie family now has to rely on Liu Ziqiu's protection, in this case, there is still Liu Ziqiu's wife, it is difficult to see the person above, Li Mingyue is really incredible

Gao Xiu'er pointed to a stool beside her very calmly: "Mingyue came here to sit here and talk about gossip."

The family has a strict hierarchy, even if a daughter like Li Mingyue, who is favored by the elders, must abide by certain rules and dare not go beyond the slightest, now in this courtyard, Gao Xiu'er is the wife, Lin Qiao'er, Mu Duoli are just concubines, but they can't see that there is any estrangement between them, and there is just a kind of warmth to get along in harmony

What kind of feeling is this, Li Mingyue has never experienced it in the past, she is very curious, and she can't help but sit next to Gao Xiu'er

……

I heard that Li Mingyue entered the back house and didn't come out for a long time, Liu Ziqiu was very strange, he knew that this eldest lady of the Li family sometimes had a bad temper, but he didn't have time to ask Miss Li what she was doing in the back house, because Li Yuan finally sent someone from Luoyang

It was an old acquaintance Yu Shiji who came, so when he saw Liu Ziqiu, he fell to the ground with a handful of snot and tears: "The lord's subordinates thought they would never see the lord again."

Liu Ziqiu glanced at Yu Shinan: "Lord Yu, quickly help your brother up."

Liu Ziqiu knew that the two brothers were not very harmonious, but they were brothers after all, so he created some opportunities for them to get closer and closer

Of course, Yu Shiji would not really wait for his brother to come to help, and he had already taken the initiative to get up from the ground and choked up: "Li Yuan detained his subordinates for no reason, and asked the lord to be the master of his subordinates."

Liu Ziqiu smiled and waved his hand: "This mission to Luoyang frightened Lord Yu, but Lord Yu's task was not bad, Liu has always rewarded and punished clearly, and someone gave Yu Shiji fifty hectares of fertile land and five hundred taels of silver."

Yu Shiji was overjoyed and thanked again and again: "The Lord of Qi has something important to report"

Liu Ziqiu said with a smile: "It's all your own people here, it's okay for you to say it directly"

The civil and military forces in this hall listened to Liu Ziqiu's words, and they were naturally full of joy, which was also a means to win people's hearts, and there was no technical content, but it was tried and tested

Yu Shiji hesitated for a moment and said, "The lord has ever heard of Pei Lian?"

Liu Ziqiu nodded and said, "He is Li Yuan's accomplice"

Yu Shiji hurriedly said: "Pei Lin came to Hongnong with his subordinates on the order of Li Yuan this time, just to spy on his subordinates and spy on the news, but on the way here, Pei Lin personally told his subordinates that he was willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light."

Pei Lian, Liu Ziqiu, knew that he was the founding father of the Tang Dynasty, and there was such a record in the history books that he and Li Shimin conspired to deceive Li Yuan and slept with Yang Guang's woman, which forced Li Yuan to raise troops

Of course, Liu Ziqiu didn't believe in this kind of thing, after all, the later history books were compiled in the Tang Dynasty, which not only highlighted Li Shimin's wisdom but also reduced Li Yuan's guilt, in fact, Liu Ziqiu always thought that Li Yuan himself was an ambitious and very good person

Replacing Sui with Sui was Li Yuan's dream for a long time, otherwise Yang Guang would not have been suspicious of him, and he was transferred from the local governor to Beijing to serve as a deputy in the central government, on the other hand, looking at how many wives Li Yuan had and how many children he had, he would know what kind of person he was in terms of women

However, since Pei Lin can be ranked as the founding father of the Tang Dynasty, it means that his ability is not a problem, whether he really surrenders or fakes surrender, Liu Ziqiu still plans to see him, and when he sees him, he can't help but wave his hand and say: "Oh, since Master Pei is willing to abandon the secret and surrender to Ming, Liu Mou can't ask for it, and no one will pass him in."

After receiving Liu Ziqiu's summons, Pei Lin walked into the hall quickly and bowed his hand and said, "Your Majesty, Pei Lin will meet the chief manager."

Liu Ziqiu looked at this person who was not forty years old, his eyebrows were clear, his eyes were beautiful, and his aura was high, but he was a talent, and he couldn't help but nodded: "Master Pei, Li Yuan, whether he is willing to surrender or not, you must already know it in your heart."

Pei Lin smiled: "As long as Lord Liu agrees to the conditions he proposed, he will naturally be willing to surrender."

Liu Ziqiu threw the letter brought by Li Yuan sent Yu Shiji to the ground and laughed: "According to such conditions, Liu can only go to Luoyang directly."

Pei Lin arched his hand and said: "Xia Guan believes that with the strength of the adult, it is just a gesture to take Luoyang, but if you can not spend a single soldier, wouldn't it be better, Lord Li is indeed asking for a sky-high price, and Lord Liu can sit on the ground and pay back."

Liu Ziqiu nodded and said: "Okay, sit on the ground and repay the money, according to Lord Pei's wishes, how should Liu sit on the ground and repay the money?"

Pei Lin smiled: "Now Lord Li just wants to keep food and clothing worry-free."

This is the bottom line of Li Yuan's negotiations, Pei Lianken revealed Li Yuan's bottom line to Liu Ziqiu, showing his sincerity in surrendering

Wen Hao said angrily: "Li Yuan's gang sent his son to attack Jiangnan, if he wants to be unfavorable to my housewife and young master, it is unbearable, if Li Yuan refuses to surrender, Wen will kill his son to sacrifice the flag, and he wants to keep food and clothing worry-free."

Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said, "Master Pei, you go back and tell Li Yuan that he must surrender unconditionally, as for other things, Liu will deal with it impartially."
