As soon as the words fell, the voice of the eunuch announcing the court sounded, Lu Li held Mao Zhiyuan, leaned over and whispered: "Don't worry, I have my own way, let's go to the court first." ”

There are no major events in the country, and the court is just discussing some trivial things, Mao Zhiyuan is worried about the affairs of the Canglan country, and he doesn't have the heart to pay attention to these, he just waits for the next dynasty to discuss peace with the emperor after the next court.

But before waiting for the next court, someone in the hall raised the matter of King Canglan's visit in the near future.

"Your Majesty, the king of Canglan sent envoys here to make peace and repair the goodwill of the two countries, but now that the emperor has canceled the peace relationship, Canglan naturally can't sit still. The minister thought that King Canglan came this time to make peace with him. A year old minister mentioned.

How could the emperor not know about this matter, so he coughed lightly, and did not express his opinion, but asked; "What do you think?"

Everyone in the hall looked at each other, and no one dared to stand up and speak.

Seeing this, the emperor didn't speak for a long time with a tense face, the hall was quiet, Lu Li stood in a corner with his head down, Wei Xiuyuan was also rare and silent, even Mao Zhiyuan lowered his head, and there was no sign of speaking.

"Alright, let's all disperse first." The emperor waved his hand impatiently, and then frowned and stood up.

He didn't expect these courtiers who were wise enough to come up with any way, in the final analysis, he still had to discuss with Mao Zhiyuan and others alone, otherwise if the news was leaked by a courtier with a ghost mind, the consequences would be unimaginable.

After bowing, the courtiers got up and walked out, but Wei Xiuyuan and the others deliberately stayed and were taken to the imperial study by the eunuchs.

Mao Zhiyuan said in the morning, if you really can't cope with the wishes of King Canglan and his relatives, then you can find a woman of the right age from among the children of the courtiers to be the county lord or princess and marry Canglan. This is indeed an option.

Therefore, when Wei Xiuyuan and the others arrived at the imperial study, the emperor told Mao Zhiyuan's method and asked, "What do you think of this method?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's inappropriate!" Almost as soon as the emperor's words fell, Lu Li stood up against it.

The emperor raised his head and looked at him with interest, "Why?" ”

"There are many school-age women in the courtiers, and the emperor's choice of anyone will make people dissatisfied, and besides, the king of Canglan has not yet arrived in Shangjing, and the minister believes that he should first explore the reality of the other party before making a decision. If you don't have to marry a Donglan woman far away, it is naturally the best. Lu Li replied calmly.

The emperor is still reluctant to marry the princess to Canglan, how can the courtiers be willing? If something happens because of this, it will be tantamount to adding a little trouble to the trouble.

After listening to Lu Li's words, the emperor just withdrew his gaze, did not answer but did not refute, his face was the same as before, and he couldn't see any clues.

Wei Xiuyuan had already guessed that the emperor would put on an ambiguous attitude, so he took advantage of the gap and stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Lu Li's words are reasonable, what does Canglan mean, we might as well wait for King Canglan to go to Beijing before making a decision, what do you think?" ”

"Forget it, you all step down first." The emperor waved his hand suddenly, and asked the three of them to retreat with some impatience.

The three of them were a little stunned for a while, but they didn't dare to disobey the emperor, so they retired one after another and went out of the palace all the way. After leaving the palace, Wei Xiuyuan took the initiative to invite Mao Zhiyuan to his house as a guest, Mao Zhiyuan thought about it and agreed, followed the two of them in a carriage, and drove in the direction of Wei's mansion.

Xu Shi never let go of the things of Canglan in his heart, and Mao Zhiyuan told the king of Canglan on the road that he was going to arrive in Beijing in the near future.

Upon hearing this, Wei Xiuyuan was a little surprised, "How can it be so fast?" It is said that Canglan is not very far from Shangjing? Now that the matter of harmony has been canceled for a few days, how could King Canglan be in Shangjing so soon? ”

"According to my guess, it is very likely that this Canglan King also set off after the envoys and other teams left." Mao Zhiyuan guessed based on what he had seen and heard in the post house these days: "And the envoy has always been in contact with the king of Canglan, I have seen the guard with the envoy go to the backyard to release pigeons, I think, they should have been using carrier pigeons to contact,"

"It's happening now." Wei Xiuyuan tightened his eyebrows, turned to look at Lu Li, and said anxiously: "That envoy is cunning and cunning, it is definitely not a good thing, if he has always been in contact with King Canglan, wouldn't that Xiaoman be ......?"

The envoy used that despicable method to force Xiaoman to cooperate with him, but he refused because Lu Li was the first to notice it, and he also took him into an army, thinking that the matter would end like this, but he didn't expect that the king of Canglan would also be involved.

An envoy is not to be worried, but if their king also comes, then ......

Lu Li breathed a long sigh of relief, looked up at the two of them, his eyes were burning, and said solemnly: "I have already decided, I will go to talk to Huali." ”

Hua Li and the envoys are both Canglan people, but their personalities are not different at all, although Hua Li has no official position, and he may not be able to speak in front of the Canglan King, but if he turns to him, there may be a glimmer of hope, but if they give up completely, then they can really only passively wait for the Canglan King to go to Beijing.

After thinking about it, Mao Zhiyuan took the lead in responding: "Okay, I'm willing to help Grandpa Guo." ”

"Because of the failure of cooperation, coupled with the fact that the harmony was canceled by the emperor, Huali and the envoys had a big quarrel, and they have been out of the control of the other party." Mao Zhiyuan said: "As far as I know, Holley has been talking to several other merchants about cooperation these days, so he has been living outside the post house for the past few days, if you want to find him at this time, then I can take you there." ”

"Wait a minute." Wei Xiuyuan interrupted, frowning and looking at Mao Zhiyuan in confusion, "Since Huali doesn't live in the post house, how can you find him?" ”

The relationship between Holley and Mao Zhiyuan has reached this point?

Just when the two of them were puzzled, Mao Zhiyuan chuckled: "Don't think about it too much, it's just that this Huali first came to Beijing and was not familiar with the place, so he entrusted me to help him find a place to live." That's why I know where the dwelling is. ”

"I see." Wei Xiuyuan nodded, looked at Lu Li on the side, and asked, "You want to go to Huali, but what is the way?" Or do you want him to be our internal response, so that we can listen to the vicissitudes at any time? ”

"According to my observation, Holley should have wanted to cooperate with Xiaoman, but because of what the envoy did, he was embarrassed to mention it again." Lu Li analyzed: "If I take the initiative to find him now and invite him in the name of cooperation, he should be very happy to agree." ”

Hua Li and the envoy are not all the way, and now that Donglan and Canglan are in this situation, it must be what he doesn't want to see, since this is the case, it is better to simply invite him into the game to help Xiaoman. And if you help Xiaoman, you will naturally help yourself.

A win-win approach, why not do it.

After hearing this method, Wei Xiuyuan nodded again and again, appreciating Lu Li, but soon, he frowned again and asked with some concern: "But how sure are you that you can convince Huali?" You know, after He Xiaoman refused to cooperate with him, he should have been looking for other ready-to-wear shops that he could cooperate with during this time, right? ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Mao Zhiyuan and got a positive look, which couldn't help but make Wei Xiuyuan even more worried, "You see, Brother Mao also knows that Holley has been looking for a new store that he can cooperate with during this time, what if he has already found it?" Don't need to cooperate with Xiaoman? ”

At the beginning, Xiaoman rejected Holley so resolutely, Holley must have already been heartbroken, but this Shangjing is extremely prosperous, not only the Manrou Garment Shop family, what if he has already found someone else?

It is true that Manrou Garment Workshop is excellent, but Huali does not have to be Manrou Garment Workshop.

Lu Li naturally thought of this, he smiled slightly, showing a very confident smile, "Holley went to Jiang Qiming first, but Jiang Qiming rejected him, but at the same time recommended Xiao Man to him, and invited him to watch Xiao Man's game. In the past few days, he may have identified Manrou Garment Workshop, even if it has been a while since we rejected him, but I don't believe that he can let go of his previous insistence during this time. ”

After speaking, he leaned over slightly, raised his eyes to look at Wei Xiuyuan and Mao Zhiyuan, his eyes showed a little light, and the corners of his mouth curled, "Huali is a businessman, and a businessman will want better, not to mention, he lived in the post house with the envoy before, could he not know the news that King Canglan is going to come in person?" ”

"That's right!" Wei Xiuyuan was so excited that he forgot for a moment and jumped up and almost hit the carriage, but fortunately, Mao Zhiyuan held him down, so as not to suffer from his flesh and skin.

However, this is nothing to Wei Xiuyuan, he thought about what Lu Li said just now, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt admiration, "Huali must still have hope, and wants to borrow the hand of King Canglan to promote the cooperation between him and Xiaoman!" ”

Lu Li nodded heavily, "That's right, he must still have hope, and now, I will personally send this hope to him." ”

How Holley chooses at that time will also depend on which move he should take next.

"Grandpa Guo is really scheming, I admire it!" Mao Zhiyuan was also very admiring, she couldn't help but solemnly clench her fists and arch her hands, and bent slightly towards Lu Li.

Lu Li waved his hand and said modestly: "Master Mao should call my name directly, it will inevitably seem too rusty." ”

Mao Zhiyuan smiled and was about to speak, when the driver of the car reminded in front: "Three adults, the Wei Mansion has arrived." ”

Wei Xiuyuan was about to get out of the car, but was held down by Lu Li, just when he was puzzled, Lu Li looked at Mao Zhiyuan, and then returned to his previous serious appearance: "Or please ask Master Mao to take us to Huali first, I must understand this matter as soon as possible, otherwise the night will be full of dreams." ”
