Chapter 170

Since Xiao Lanwei came to Tianjin on business, he naturally couldn't come by his own temperament, so he still responded to the reception banquet prepared for him by the Tianjin government.

The banquet was placed in the official residence of Tianjin Governor Li Weiming, originally Xiao Lanwei came to Tianjin with his family, Li Weiming was solemn, saying that he would clean up the official residence and invite the princess to stay, but Xiao Lanwei refused, the governor's official residence was in front of the governor's yamen, and the back house was for the governor and his family to live.

Not to mention that if Xiao Lanwei Mu Qingling wants to live here, Li Weiming's family will have to choose a new home, Li Weiming can be the governor of the official residence, and his age is naturally not young, and the population of the family is not comparable to Xiao Lan's young couple, where is this family going to move.

Moreover, if Li Weiming moved, the governor's yamen could not be moved, and it would be inconvenient for Li Weiming to work in the future. Tianjin is now because of the establishment of the port, things are complicated, busy people fly, Li Weiming, the governor of Tianjin, is the top priority, where can Xiao Lanwei ask for trouble.

Besides, Xiao Lanwei and Li Weiming's official affairs are the same but different, Xiao Lanwei is only in charge of Tianjin Port, but Li Weiming has power in the entire Tianjin Mansion, if he lives in the governor's mansion, and the yamen is in front of him, wouldn't it be under the noses of the officials of the entire Tianjin Mansion, and there will be many people at that time, and it is difficult to say what will happen.

Xiao Lanwei rejected Li Weiming's humility, and Li Weiming was also happy, which shows that although this prince is young, he is not a person who is above the top, and he is still waiting to rely on Tianjin Port to fly Huang Tengda into the cabinet to worship the prime minister, but he can't have an unruly son.

Having said that, Li Weiming still arranged another garden for Xiao Lanwei as a place for the princess and princess to stay. After all, the governor's residence was in the center of the inner city, and this garden was indeed far from the center of the city, but closer to the coast, and it was more convenient to go to the port.

Can be taken out by the governor of Tianjin to receive the husband and wife of the King of Xiaoyao, this garden is naturally quite handy, the magnificence of repair, rare treasures, antique calligraphy and paintings, precious flowers, everything, was originally built by a local rich businessman, I heard that the governor chose to live in the King of Xiaoyao, and tried his best to offer.

Li Weiming is not polite, Xiao Lanwei is not hypocritical, now that the world's businessmen are gathered in Tianjin, if they are too high, they will be high and low. Xiao Lanwei has traveled for many years, and has never despised anyone's strength, especially when these people have money in their hands, wealth can be channeled, if he is too high-minded, these people think that he can't drill the camp here, so they will think of changing to a good drill camp, these people get together, even if he is a prince, it is enough to drink a pot.

He has to leave some loopholes for these businessmen to drill, when there is a loophole, these people will be bent on exploiting this loophole, then they will compete with each other, guard against each other, and even stumble on each other, so they will be a plate of loose sand, and the decision is in his hands, so Tianjin Port will only be firmly in his hands.

So when Xiao Lanwei learned the origin of this garden, he couldn't help but sigh that Li Weiming was worthy of being an official, and then smiled happily.

At this time, the sunset has already set, although Xiao Lanwei is quite big, but the Tianjin officials also have business, so the wind and dust washing banquet is arranged in the evening. Mu Qingling was feeding the fish by the pool against the light, Xiao Lanling walked over, holding a cloak in her hand, and draped it on Mu Qingling's body from behind, and then hugged Mu Qingling into her arms. "Tianjin is close to the sea, and it is windy here at night, so we are only afraid that we will come back late today, so you wear a cloak so as not to blow."

Mu Qingling smiled slightly, responded in a low voice, and asked again, "Are we going to go?" Xiao Lanwei took a deep breath, "Yes, we have to deal with those human spirits." It's a hassle. Xiao Lanyu muttered. Mu Qingling appeased Xiao Lanyu with a few words. Xiao Lanwei didn't really complain, it didn't take a while.

Mu Qingling turned around and faced Xiao Lanling, Xiao Lanling took Mu Qingling's left hand with her right hand, "Please, Your Royal Highness the Princess." Mu Qingling smiled, ignored him, and just walked out led by Xiao Lanling.

It is said that people rely on clothes and Buddha rely on gold, Xiao Lanhuan doesn't like to pay attention to pomp, but sometimes he has to pay attention to pomp. Different from the low-key of the previous private visit to Weifu, the carriage they took today was regulated by the prince, with a guard in front of them to open the way, and two hundred elite soldiers accompanying them, all of whom were elite soldiers, well-equipped, high-headed horses, and had a sense of awe-inspiring slaughter.

This time, His Majesty specially allocated a thousand elite soldiers as Xiao Lanwei's personal soldiers, each with two horses, new armor, all new knives, specifically to protect Xiao Lanwei's safety, Yu Gong, Tianjin Port is a matter of great importance, there is no room for loss, Yu private, Xiao Lanwei is his own brother, if Xiao Lanwei has something, not to mention that he is sad, just his wife will have to cry to death first.

Xiao Lanwei led the mighty carriage and horses through the city, and announced his power to everyone in the most concise and powerful language.

Soon arrived at the gate of the governor's yamen, there were already a bunch of officials waiting here, and when the carriage stopped, Xiao Lanwei took the lead and got off the carriage first, and then turned around to help Mu Qingling get out of the carriage, and when the couple stood still, only a man of about fifty years a year came forward to say goodbye.

"Li Weiming, the governor of Tianjin, led the officials of Tianjin to greet the king and the princess." Li Weiming is not tall, not short, not fat, not thin, not beautiful, not ugly, and looks like an ordinary old man at first glance. Behind him, all the people saluted with him.

Xiao Lanwei exempted everyone, and Li Weiming introduced the officials left and right to Xiao Lanzhuo, "Lord Wang, this is Yu Enzheng, the commander of the Tianjin Wei Command Envoy." "The governor is in charge of the local military and political power, needless to say, in political affairs, he is the leader who does not give up, and militarily, the governor is also in charge of commanding the envoys. In addition to the commanders of the envoys, there is actually another army in the local area - the Wei Command Envoys.

Xiao Lanwei came here without the assistance of the local army. In addition, the relationship between Yu Enzheng and the Jingyong Mansion in the capital is not a secret, and the new Princess Xiaoyao is from the Jingyong Mansion, so Li Weiming specially proposed Yu Enzheng and introduced it to the Xiaoyao King and his wife.

Xiao Lanyu Mu Qingling also knew about Yu Enzheng, Mu Qingling looked at Yu Enzheng, and her three uncles of the Yu family, this one looked like a Lian family, with dark skin, a scar running from his forehead through his eyelids to his cheeks, and he was burly, and he looked like a perennial military person.

Mu Qingling remained silent, and bent down to make a junior salute, "I've seen my uncle." ”

Yu Enzheng hurriedly avoided it, he was not the son of the Yu family, because he had no father, no mother, no name and no surname, and was given a surname by the old country, but according to the etiquette law, "the same surname is not married, and a different surname is not raised", so he did not enter the Yu family tree, and he was not considered Mu Qingling's uncle. Besides, even if it is Mu Qingling's own uncle, there is a difference between respect and inferiority, and he is not polite.

Xiao Lanwei secretly sighed that this person was careless and careful, not an ordinary reckless man, but he didn't say anything on the surface, just motioned for everyone to go in and talk.

The other officials did not have the honor of letting the King of Joy stand at the gate and listen to the introduction. A large group of people immediately moved into the courtyard. There is a difference between men and women, and there are also female relatives to entertain Mu Qingling today, but in the inner courtyard, Governor Li has already prepared a soft sedan chair to send Mu Qingling into the inner courtyard.

When everyone sat down and the silk and bamboo wind music played, everyone took turns to come forward to toast, Governor Li introduced this person's surname and who was the official residence, Xiao Lanwei had already learned the resumes of the people in the Tianjin officialdom, and at this time they corresponded one by one in their hearts, but they also remembered very quickly.

In addition to the original officials in Tianjin, there was also a wave of people at the banquet, who were the children of the clan who had been sent before. Tianjin has a lot of problems, and it is the time to employ people, so they are sent over for training, which can be regarded as the sweetness of the clan. Most of these people are young, not like Tianjin officials, they are all middle-aged and elderly, and they are relatives of Xiao Lanhuan, they are much more lively, and several people even have the courage to pour Xiao Lanhuan's wine.

"Lord Wang, I didn't expect us to meet in Tianjin, there is a way to be the four joys of life, the night of candles in the cave room, the title of the gold list, the long drought meets the rain, and the hometown meets the old acquaintance. We are not only old acquaintances, but also relatives, this is more than happy, do we have to have a drink. Xiao Zhi stepped on the chair, held the wine jug in his hand, and made a gesture to raise Xiao Lan to pour it into the cup.

Xiao Lanwei guarded the cup with one hand, pushed away the wine jug with the other, and said in her mouth: "Go, what a joy to meet you." Xiao Zhi is also a close branch of the clan, and since he was a child, he and Xiao Lanwei have been in the study together, and they are all masters who are not afraid of heaven and earth, so they are quite familiar.

Xiao Lanwei stretched out her hand and pointed, "When you meet Xiao Su like this, it's called a happy event." When I meet you, it's called bad luck. Xiao Su on the side pursed his lips and smiled, but did not speak.

Xiao Su is a good boy, he doesn't talk much, and Xiao Lanwei has a good image of him, so he buries Xiao Zhi. But having said that, it is obvious that Xiao Lanwei and Xiao Zhi are closer.

Xiao Zhi was not annoyed when he was buried, but followed Xiao Lanwei's words and said: "Since the prince also admits that it is a happy event, then stop talking nonsense and have a drink." Then he stuffed the wine jug into Xiao Su's hand, "Xiao Su, the prince is happy to see you, you must give him a few glasses." ”

At the other table, Yu Enzheng watched the young and handsome prince being surrounded by a group of equally young clan disciples laughing and making a fuss. These people, just because they will be reincarnated, just because they will be reincarnated...... The candle flame was faint, projecting Yu Enzheng's obscure face.

In the backyard, Mu Qingling is much more relaxed, her status is there, she just needs to wait to be flattered and flattered, there is a forty or fifty-year-old edict in the middle of the banquet, there is no half-sour little girl, this group of edicts are very measured in their words and deeds, and it is not popular among women to persuade them to drink and drink, so Mu Qingling had a very pleasant night.

After returning home after the banquet, Li Weiming and a group of officials sent Xiao Lanwei and his wife out of the governor's yamen, and watched them get in the car and walk away, before Li Weiming turned around and said goodbye to the rest of the officials.

Yu Enzheng's expression was indifferent all night, but his face was already serious, coupled with the scar on his face, he looked like a person who didn't smile. So no one can see that Yu Enzheng is not interested tonight.

Yu Enzheng got on his horse and left after saying goodbye to Li Weiming, and before he was far away, he heard someone calling him behind him.

"Lord Yu! Lord Yu! Xiao Su rode a horse and chased after him, Yu Enzheng glanced at Xiao Su and said, "Xiao Gongzi, is there something?" ”

Xiao Su gasped for a while, and Yu Enzheng's eyes showed a faint disdain. Xiao Su didn't notice it, and after his breath was not so urgent, Xiao Su said, "Lord Yu, it's been almost a month since you received Your Highness's letter. I haven't given a reply for a long time, and I'm not easy to deal with Your Highness. ”

Yu Enzheng was impatient to take care of Xiao Su, in his opinion, Xiao Su was just a son-in-law who could only be reincarnated and had no other skills, no, he wasn't even a son-in-law. After all, there are few people in the entire Yongwang Mansion who take him, the third prince, seriously.

"I have already replied to His Highness, so I won't bother with Young Master Xiao." Yu Enzheng said stiffly, and after speaking, he didn't give Xiao Su a chance to speak, turned the horse's head and left.

Xiao Su was hung in place, looking at the back of Yu Enzheng leaving for a while, before he scolded in a low voice unwillingly, "Reckless!" Vulgar! ”
