Chapter 140: Trapping
Li Qiuchi pointed to the box on the table, and squeezed her eyes at Chu Ci again, she kept gesturing, and when she saw Chu Ci's bewildered face, she was even more anxious, she had to move her lips and say lip language.
Chu Ci looked at Li Qiuchi's strange movements, his face became even more confused, and he turned around and asked his concubine, "What is the crown princess doing?" ”
Concubine Ji also shook her head in confusion, "I don't know, maybe the crown princess thinks the banquet is too boring and is entertaining herself." ”
Chu Ci nodded in a trance, and after he said hehe twice, he saw that Li Qiuchi was still trying his best to understand what she meant, and he squeezed his eyes at Li Qiuchi.
Li Qiuchi: "?? ”
Seeing Li Qiuchi's look full of black question marks on his face, he thought that she was amazed by herself, raised her eyebrows handsomely at her, and touched her soft long hair. was about to give Li Qiuchi a flying kiss, but Chu Jinrong pressed his head with a black face.
Chu Jinrong turned his head and said expressionlessly at Li Qiuchi: "He doesn't have a good brain, don't pay attention." ”
Li Qiuchi: "......"
Fu Lin on the opposite side naturally noticed Li Qiuchi's small movements, she sneered disdainfully, and stood up after taking a sip of tea.
"Father, I have a treasure to dedicate to you." There was a smile in her eyes, and her voice was as delicate as a yellow bird.
Chu Junlan became interested, "Oh? Lin'er rarely gives me a gift, I don't know what kind of treasure it is? ”
With a calm smile on her face, Fu Lin gave the maid beside her a look, and then she bowed over and presented the gift she had prepared.
After Chu Junlan asked the eunuch to present it, he opened it and saw that the dazzling glass bottle was blooming with colorful light under the candlelight in the hall, and everyone was amazed when they saw it, Chu Junlan couldn't help but also cast an appreciative gaze, "This glass bottle is very chic, I'm afraid it is rare in the entire Central Plains," his gaze on Fu Lin softened a lot, "Where did Lin'er find it?" ”
Fu Lin smiled proudly, stood up and said, "Father, this is what Lin'er found from the bazaar in the capital, but it cost Lin'er a full thirty silver." At that time, it was also because this glass bottle was well-made, presumably a good object, that I bought it. ”
"It's pretty good." Chu Junlan nodded in approval, looked at the glass bottle a few times, and became more and more in love, and he smiled on his lips, "Lin'er has a heart." ”
"I didn't expect King Zhou to like the handicrafts of our Dahlia so much." The Dahlia envoy laughed loudly and stood up, his face full of triumph, "We in Dahlia mainly make glass bottles, and on our side, it is very common to use this bottle to make water containers. ”
Everyone cast envious and admiring glances, and the Dahlia envoy did not look at them, but his chest was obviously straight.
The smile in Fu Lin's eyes became even stronger, and she looked at the Dahlia envoy who stood up proudly, and pretended to be surprised: "This finely crafted glass bottle is actually from the Dali Kingdom, and the palace is short-sighted." The country that can make such a wonderful glass bottle must have other crafts as well. ”
When Li Qiuchi heard this, he felt that something was wrong, wasn't this the method he came up with at that time? She frowned and turned back, but saw that Chu Jinrong's expression was the same as his, her eyebrows were tightly knit, and her eyes were covered with shadows.
When the Dahlia envoy heard her compliment, his heart was happy, and he smiled: "That's natural, our Dahlia envoy has always been praised by the whole people for the production of handicrafts, so other handicrafts will not be bad." Coincidentally, on this mission, his subordinates also brought a few handicrafts by the way. He asked someone to take it out and present it to everyone, the handicraft material is delicate and gorgeous, and there are many styles, everyone is in an uproar after seeing it, and the amazement in their eyes is not disguised.
Fulin expressed great joy, "This princess is very fond of these beautiful handicrafts, can the Dahlia envoy sell them to this princess?" This princess is willing to buy you these crafts for fifty dollars. ”
Dahlia's envoy was overjoyed, and he laughed heartily: "The princess appreciates her face, and your majesty is naturally very honored." ”
After the two reached a deal, Fu Lin's eyes continued to linger on several handicrafts in front of him, and he was full of praise: "This princess has seen all kinds of treasures in the palace, but such delicate handicrafts are very rare. She looked back, as if she suddenly remembered something, "I wonder if the Dahlia envoy has more crafts?" Princess Ben wants to buy them all. ”
Dahlia's envoy was happy and sad, "Your Majesty only brought these, I'm afraid that I will be tired on the road if I bring too much." However, if the princess likes it, her subordinates can send someone to send some quickly, and our Dahlia is the best at making these crafts, so the princess wants as much as she wants. ”
The main thing is that he didn't expect these crafts to please them so much, otherwise he would have to bring more to say anything.
Fu Lin nodded with satisfaction: "Good." ”
After a while, she looked sad again and lamented: "It's a pity, we are the atomic people who rarely see such handicrafts. Originally, the two countries were open to trade, and the people of the Central Plains could also buy these handicrafts. Just ......"
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that the Dahlia envoy's face was full of nervousness, and Fu Lin hooked her lips, "It's just that the envoys don't agree to open up trade, so our people in the Central Plains can't buy these handicrafts, and it's useless." ”
Having said this, Chu Junlan had already understood her intentions, and couldn't help but cast a surprised and appreciative look at Fu Lin.
Li Qiuchi was very depressed, and the method that he finally thought of was stolen by someone, and the credit was all hers. I really don't know where she got her face! Chu Jinrong patted her shoulder comfortingly.
Unexpectedly, there were so many benefits of opening up trade, and the Dahlia envoy suddenly began to think about it in his heart and began to be anxious. If their monarch knew that he had missed an opportunity because of his own prejudices, wouldn't he be punished at that time?
Thinking of this, he smiled at Chu Junlan sitting above with a shy face, "King Zhou, your subordinates think about it, this opening up of trade is indeed beneficial, and the subordinates were short-minded before, and I hope you will forgive me." His Majesty agreed to an open trade policy. ”
When everyone heard that the Dahlia envoys had agreed to open up trade and that they had sold their crafts at high prices, their hearts began to stir. Soon, someone couldn't wait to stand up, arched his hand at Chu Jinrong and laughed loudly.
His Majesty thought about it for a long time, and he also thought that opening up trade was a good policy. His Majesty supports open trade and is willing to take out our country's handicrafts to achieve a win-win situation with everyone. ”
Seeing that someone had set a new example, others no longer hesitated, and rushed to agree to this policy, and the scene was lively for a while.
The opening of trade was approved with the approval of all members, and Chu Junlan also had the brightest smile on his face in the past few days, and the worries in his heart were also put down.
