Chapter 164: Guogong
"You... You! The Qin clan was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Qin Chun turned his head and took all the clothes in the house to the bedroom, and shook the door of the bedroom with a shocking sound, causing the Qin family outside the house to scold for a while.
But so what, she has her own house, although it is only a temporary rental, but this is already very good, at least it gives Qin Chun a lot of confidence.
She can talk back to the Qin family with confidence, she can not be angry with the Qin family, even if she really quarrels with the Qin family one day, she will not lose face, let alone be laughed at by others.
Because it's her own house.
When Lu Li returned to the Lu Mansion with the little servant, the sky had already darkened, he got off the bus station and was in the courtyard, looking at the black clouds that swept most of the sky, and thought: It will probably snow again.
The winter in Shangjing is extremely cold, and I don't know if Xiaoman, who spent the winter here in the first year, can resist it.
Thinking about it, Lu Li wrapped his robe tightly and walked quickly to the bedroom next to the main hall.
As soon as the curtain was opened, an unusually unfamiliar delicate female voice sounded in the room: "Brother Lu Li is finally back." ”
Lu Li frowned, put down the curtain and looked into the room, the first sat Xiaoman, and on the left sat a young woman dressed as a woman, this young woman's hair was neat and neat, and the pearl on her head was even more gorgeous, and the clothes on her body were also golden, and they looked expensive.
With a melon seed face and danfeng eyes, this woman looks a little familiar, but right now, Lu Li can't remember who this person is anyway.
Seeing Lu Li's slightly confused eyes, Xiao Man reminded softly: "Lu Li, this is Shi Yu." Not long ago, Shi Yu married-"
"Brother Lu Li!" Before Xiao Man's words were finished, Shi Yu in the seat interrupted suddenly, and quickly got up and walked in front of Lu Li, with a shy, "Although I am married, but in my heart, I still pretend to be Lu Li's brother, if you ......"
Lu Li felt a chill, and without waiting for Shi Yu to finish speaking, he raised his feet and left, and walked straight to Xiao Man's side.
He and Wei Xiuyuan and Shi Yu are the same age, and they occasionally played together when they were children, but after all, there are differences between men and women, Lu Li still has a better relationship with Wei Xiuyuan, as for Shi Yu, at most they are old playmates.
"Brother Lu Li." Shi Yu stepped forward without giving up, biting his lower lip, a pair of slightly raised Danfeng eyes swept over Lu Li for a while, and his voice was soft and soft, "You have been away from Shangjing for so many years, I miss you, if it wasn't for my father to stop me, I would have gone to find you a long time ago." ”
How could Lu Li not understand such a suggestive remark.
But he didn't look at Shi Yu, so he coldly refused: "Since you are married, you should abide by women's morals, and don't let me hear things like today in the future." ”
After speaking, Lu Li waved his hand and ordered the subordinates beside Shi Yu, "It's not too early, let's take your wife back as soon as possible." ”
"Lu Li! I finally found time to see you, is that how you are hospitable?! Shi Yu stomped his feet, angry and itchy.
"Yes, this is the hospitality of my Lu Mansion, if you can't stand it, then it's better to go back early." Lu Li threw it over.
Xiao Man on the side listened, the corners of his mouth raised a small arc, and Lu Li spoke happily, straight into the knife with a single knife, not dragging mud and water, and not beating around the bush. Refusal is rejection, unfamiliar is unfamiliar, and it is also a saving stone and jade to drill into what gap to climb the relationship.
"Why don't you take your wife back soon?!" Lu Li suddenly raised his voice and commanded.
The man's voice was low and solemn, and with a bit of non-angry and self-righteous momentum, a sentence came out, those subordinates had already woken up, and they couldn't allow Shi Yu to struggle and refuse anymore, and several girls surrounded Shi Yu and used some strength to forcibly take people away.
The room was completely silent, and Xiao Man looked at Lu Li with a smile, his eyes full of smiles.
Lu Li noticed the other party's gaze, and couldn't help but look sideways, and asked knowingly, "See what I'm doing?" ”
"Nothing." Su Xiaoman smiled sweetly, and then leaned lazily on Lu Li's body, gently holding the man's arm, with a happy face.
Shi Yu's mother-in-law and mother-in-law are not something that Xiao Man can afford to provoke, in the past, Shi Yu came to the house several times to find fault, but Lu Li was not there at that time, and Xiao Man could only deal with it.
But now that Lu Li has come back, Xiao Man suddenly has something to rely on, and the whole person has softened, and he can't think of any of the previous methods. If it weren't for Lu Li's return, she really didn't know how to get rid of Shi Yu.
With Shi Yu's appearance, Xiao Man also forgot to ask Lu Li what he was doing before, and Lu Li had the intention to hide it, so this matter passed in such a vague way.
Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it is spring, and the shops in the city are opening one after another, and Shangjing is back to its former liveliness.
There is still winter snow in the corner of the wall, the white heat is steaming from the roadside stalls, the sound of selling sugar gourds is getting closer and closer, and the clothes worn by people on the street are also more and more colorful.
Lu Li and Wei Xiuyuan sat in the attic of Manrou Ready-to-Wear Workshop, looking at the lively street condescendingly, and everyone had a happy smile on their faces.
"Shouldn't we find a time to open the door?" Xia Wanrou turned sideways, looked at Xiao Man and said with a smile: "Yesterday, Wang Qi went to Wei Mansion and brought us a lot of game, and said that he couldn't wait to open the door to do business." ”
Xiao Man smiled lightly, stroked his stomach with one hand, and said: "I originally planned to do the same, but the fabrics, embroidery threads and other things from the store have not been delivered yet, and it is inconvenient for me to do so at the moment, I am afraid that I will have to bother Aunt Yang or Qin Chun to go to the suburbs to order these items." ”
"You don't have to worry about this, I told them to do it a long time ago."
The two have only known each other for a short year, but they have a very tacit understanding, sometimes just a frown or a light sigh, Xia Wanrou can guess the other party's thoughts, and sometimes even Lu Li is amazed.
The two chatted about the things in the store for a while, and Xiaoman saw that Xia Wanrou had already prepared, so he breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "Sister Wanrou, it's really hard for you, but now you are working hardest, I have less than half a month to give birth, so it's better ......to wait."
The three stores, if they only rely on Aunt Yang and Sister Qin Chun, then the two of them will definitely be busy, and besides, Xiaoman is really not at ease.
"That's what I plan," Xia Wanrou smiled and nodded in agreement.
The two women were talking about the store here, while Wei Xiuyuan and Lu Li were discussing the current situation in the court.
A few days ago, the court had just opened, and many ministers made suggestions to the emperor to give Lu Li a reward. Lu Li's defense of the northern border in exchange for ten years of peace on the border, such a credit cannot be sent away with some gold, silver and jewelry, otherwise it will definitely chill the hearts of the people of the world.
After listening to Wei Xiuyuan's words, Lu Li sneered, "Chilling? It's ironic. ”
Back then, he repelled how many ill-intentioned villains for Donglan Kingdom, and the emperor did reward him with unsurpassed glory, but what followed? is endless suspicion and suspicion, he asks himself with a clear conscience, so he never explains, but the emperor thinks he is a thief.
However, Lu Li really doesn't have those sideways thoughts, so even if the emperor is suspicious, he can't find anything at all, at most he is using the topic to play. How could those keen courtmen in the court not notice the emperor's dissatisfaction with Lu Li? Therefore, they united to bully Lu Li.
The emperor was suspicious, the courtiers were squeezed out, and in desperation, Lu Li had no choice but to write a letter to resign in order to prove his innocence.
After so many years, does the emperor still want to repeat history again?
Wei Xiuyuan and Lu Li grew up together, they have a great relationship, they know Lu Li's personality best, he didn't refute Lu Li back then, but the emperor is so suspicious, how can he believe Wei Xiuyuan's words?
Therefore, he just persuaded softly: "Lu Li, this ..... Well, don't think like this, after so many years, the emperor will definitely not be like before. ”
"I know." Lu Li lowered his eyes and sighed in a low voice: "I hope I can write less waves this time." ”
Now is different from the past, he used to be able to leave alone without scruples, but now that he has Xiaoman, there will be children soon, he can't be the same as before, he has to consider the feelings of Xiaoman and the child.
Thinking of this, Lu Li sighed in a low voice: "Actually, I would rather the emperor only give me gold, silver and jewelry, so that my pressure will be less, and the emperor will be happy." ”
Wei Xiuyuan chuckled, "We all know that this is impossible. ”
In fact, Lu Li didn't want a position of power, and the emperor was also worried that Lu Li would do unkind and unjust things after he had power, so he didn't want to give him too high a status, but Lu Li's merits were clearly there, and the emperor had to take care of the rules.
I only hope that this time, the emperor can trust Lu Li a little more.
As Wei Xiuyuan said, on the fifth day after the opening of the dynasty, the emperor summoned Lu Li in the afternoon.
Because of Wei Xiuyuan's reminder, Lu Li also guessed the emperor's purpose this time, so he changed his clothes and rode into the palace.
There was no one else in the hall except the emperor and a group of palace maids and eunuchs, Lu Li saluted in accordance with the rules, got up after getting the emperor's consent, stood in the center with his head bowed, and waited for the emperor's instructions.
"Lu Li, this time you have made a contribution to pacifying the northern realm, and you have brought decades of peace to the northern realm of Donglan, this is a top and one credit, tell me, what reward do you want?"
The hall was empty, and the emperor's already majestic voice echoed a few times, which was even more solemn.
Lu Li bowed his head and arched his hand and said: "It is the duty of the minister to protect the family and defend the country, and the minister does not dare to ask for any reward." ”
As soon as Hua Ying fell, the emperor's low laughter came from the front, "I knew you would say this, so I have already decided to reward you with something." ”
The emperor paused for a moment, looked at Lu Li's reaction, and then said, "Why don't you be rewarded with a position as a prince?" ”
