Lu Ping stood at the door of the Zhenguo County Lord's Mansion, looking at Xiao Rongyan's master and servant who were far away, and felt a little pity in his heart, Xiao Rongyan's noble and calm bearing, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like a businessman, but like a Confucian who read poetry and books, and read like a person with an elegant and peaceful temperament.

If it weren't for Xiao Rongyan's identity as just a businessman, he would be a good match with the eldest girl in their family.

Just now the two walked side by side, he looked at it from behind, like a pair of golden boys and girls, it was really good-looking.

Lu Ping retracted his gaze and entered the house with Bai Qingyan, and asked Bai Qingyan in a low voice: "Big girl, do you want to check on the shopkeeper?" ”

"You don't have to...... It should have been just an accident, after all, no one knew in advance, we were going to take that road, and I happened to stop at the door of that restaurant, just a coincidence. Bai Qing said.

Lu Ping nodded and clenched his fists: "My subordinates will arrange people to spread the news of the eldest girl's return to Shuoyang the day after tomorrow." ”

Bai Qingyan nodded.

·

Zuo Prime Minister Li Mao's house got the news that Bai Qingyan would return to Shuoyang the day after tomorrow, and called two staff members to discuss, one staff member thought that it was best to take this opportunity to cut Bai Qingyan to the roots, but the other felt that Bai Qingyan would not be stupid enough to carry the letter with him, and the eldest princess of the Bai family in the capital city was definitely not so easy to enter.

Li Mao sat under the flickering candlelight, listened to the arguing staff, raised his hand and knocked on the table in front of him: "You can't make a rash move, even now, we don't know if Bai Qingyan really has those letters in his hand, let's try it first, and try it when Bai Qingyan is still in the capital." ”

The older Tsing Yi staff said: "Zuo Xiang, the contemptible person has a plan. ”

"Tell me about it." Li Mao looked at the staff in the green shirt.

Since Wen Zhenkang's wife couldn't ask anything, he said other letters...... She's in the hands of someone reliable, but this person isn't the lord of the town! And we don't know if the lord of Zhenguo really has those letters in his hands! That's not as good as ...... Turn the potential enemy of the Lord of the Town into an in-law. The blue-shirted strategist said.

Li Mao frowned and waved his hand: "The county lord of Zhenguo has sworn not to marry in this life, and he also used this excuse to reject the prince of Daliang, and he will not marry into the Li family." ”

"Zuo Xiang, what the contemptible person is talking about is not the lord of the town and country, but ...... Gaoyi County Lord! The green-shirted staff member spoke slowly.

Li Mao's brows tightened, and he looked at the case thoughtfully.

"The county lord of Gaoyi is now in time, and the youngest son of Zuo Xiang is three years older than the county lord of Gaoyi, and he has not yet been engaged. And so on...... Zuo Xiang and the county lord of Zhenguo became in-laws, and even if the county lord of Zhenguo wanted to come to him, even if he had these letters in his hand, he would not act rashly. The Tsing Yi staff said.

"What if the eldest princess and Bai Qingyan are unwilling?" Li Mao lowered his eyes, although his youngest son was not a gentleman, but he was not outstanding, could the eldest princess and Bai Qingyan be willing?

"The left minister can directly ask His Majesty for mercy." The green-shirted staff smiled, "In this way, even if the eldest princess and the county lord of Zhenguo are unwilling, they are already in the boat, and their Bai family will not resist the decree and disrespect." At that time, the two families became in-laws, first stabilized the Bai family, and then slowly tested whether those letters were in the hands of the Bai family. ”

The white-shirted staff shook his head: "What if the county lord of Zhenguo and the eldest princess do not agree to this marriage, and the eldest princess and the county lord of Zhenguo are angered, and the letter in their hands is directly handed over to His Majesty or the crown prince?" ”

Hearing what the white-shirted staff said, the green-shirted staff's eyes lit up and looked at Li Mao: "Zuo Xiang may let his wife enter the palace to ask the prince's biological mother, Yu Guifei, to be the matchmaker, let the two children be engaged first, and wait for the lord of Gaoyi to get married after the filial piety period!" If the county lord of Zhenguo and the eldest princess do not agree to this marriage, at least there is room for return, so that the county lord of Zhenguo and the eldest princess will not do too much! ”

The more the Tsing shirt staff spoke, the brighter their eyes became: "Presumably, the county lord of Zhenguo will definitely come to threaten to let Zuo Xiang go to his own mind and try to withdraw from his family, and then ...... Xiang Ye proposed to see the letter before he was willing to withdraw his relatives, and promised not to hurt the reputation of the county lord of Gaoyi, so that he could also test whether the letter was in the hands of the county lord of Zhenguo, if it was really in the county lord of Zhenguo, and the county lord of Zhenguo only asked for a peace and sound, we should not provoke the county lord of Zhenguo for the sake of King Liang, so as not to cause trouble. ”

The white-shirted strategist also nodded, and said very agreeably: "Even if the letter is not in the hands of the county lord of Zhenguo at that time, it is not a loss for the son of Zuo Xiang to be engaged to the county lord of Gaoyi." ”

Li Mao squinted at the glass lampshade on the desk, thought about it, and nodded: "This ...... It's a good idea! ”

"Now it depends on how to say this to Your Majesty, so that Your Majesty can agree to this family matter."

The two staff members were pondering and meditating, but Li Mao had other thoughts: "Actually, there is no need to really ask Your Majesty for instructions, release the news that Benxiang is going to His Majesty to marry the county lord of Gaoyi for my youngest son, if the eldest princess and the county lord of Zhenguo do not agree, they will definitely come to the prime minister......"

The blue-shirted strategist disagreed: "But what if the eldest prince mainly heard the rumors and promised the county lord Gaoyi to others in advance?" ”

When Li Mao heard this, he hooked the corners of his lips and smiled, he stared at the flames rising upwards in the glass lampshade in front of him, and said with a calm smile: "In this way, it will be proven...... In the hands of Princess Zhenguo, there are no letters! ”

The staff in green shirts suddenly became stunned.

Yes, if the county lord of Zhenguo has those letters in his hands, once he hears this rumor, he will naturally come to Zuo Xiang to warn Zuo Xiang, where will he take the road of hurriedly giving the county lord Gaoyi an engagement!

If the eldest princess and the county lord of Zhenguo really took this road, it would prove that the Bai family did not have those letters in their hands, and the county lord of Zhenguo just knew the existence of these letters from somewhere to bluff the left minister.

But Li Mao didn't think that Bai Qingyan was full, just to scare himself, what Li Mao was afraid of was ...... Bai Qingyan, who didn't have those letters in his hand, used those letters to intimidate himself, and there was a greater purpose behind it.

For example, when he really believes that the letters are in her hands, she will come to blackmail him into doing something.

If Bai Qingyan really held those letters in his hands, Li Mao believed that Bai Qingyan wanted to be safe, as long as he didn't provoke the Bai family for King Liang, there would be no loss.

The staff in the green shirt straightened up and bowed in the direction of the left minister: "The left minister has clever means, and he admires it." ”

Li Mao knocked the desk with his fingers, and said: "The county lord of Zhenguo will return to Shuoyang on the 22nd, and the news will be released tonight, and it must be transmitted to the county lord's mansion before tomorrow morning. ”

The white-shirted strategist clenched his fists and said: "Zuo Xiang rest assured, before tomorrow morning, the news will definitely be sent to the Zhenguo County Lord's Mansion." ”

Li Mao bowed his head and picked up the teacup in front of him: "Go and arrange it!" ”
