The post house has long been cleaned up, Xiao Man, Lu Li, and Wangshu's family live on the left side of the second floor, Wang Youhe is arranged on the right side of the second floor, and the other people who come with Xiao Man are all arranged on the first floor.

The dining room and conference hall are also on the first floor, and although the place is not very spacious, it is clean and tidy, and you can see the thoughts of the people who cleaned up.

Fortunately, Xiaoman and the others are not people who pursue luxury, plus they often played around in the early years, and they have long adapted to the environment, so they don't feel anything in the post house, but they are very content.

After some repairs, it was already lunchtime, Xiao Man, Wang Youhe and others had eaten the local food of Canglan, and were about to go to the backyard to clean up the cotton clothes they would brought, when someone came to report that Li Linte, the commander of the palace guards, came to visit and was already waiting in the front hall.

Xiao Man stopped and looked at Lu Li, "As a commander, should we see it?" ”

"Where's Holley?" Lu Li asked.

"Holley is in a hurry to return to the shops where the caravan is cooperating with him, and the matter of preparing to sell cotton clothes has already left." Xiao Man frowned in embarrassment and sighed, "If he's okay, we can still ask him, but now that he's not here, we ......"

Without knowing what the other party meant by visiting, Xiao Man was at a loss in his heart and couldn't help but hesitate.

Lu Li pondered for a moment, "You go to the backyard to pack up your cotton clothes first, and I'll go see this guard commander." ”

"Okay, then be careful."

The two separated, Lu Li followed the messenger to the front hall, and saw Li Lin sitting leisurely on the couch drinking tea at the door.

Just as Lu Li was silently looking, Li Lin also found Lu Li, he put down the teacup and got up, and stepped forward with a smile: "Presumably this is the famous Zhenguo Duke of Donglan, right?" Below is Li Lin, the leader of the Canglan Palace, who has seen the Duke of Zhenguo. ”

"Commander Li is polite." Lu Li still followed Donglan's etiquette, his face was calm, and he didn't say a word.

Li Lin didn't feel unfamiliar, and after seeing Lu Li sit down, he raised his lips and smiled, "Li Mou came here today, also for official business, and I hope that the prince of Zhenguo will not blame me for disturbing your rest." ”

Lu Li nodded, "Since it is for official business, then please ask Commander Li to speak up." ”

Seeing that the other party didn't mean to greet him, Li Lin didn't say more, he informed Lu Li of the king's selection of a mansion for the county lord, and then said: "I have already gone to the household department, but the town Guogong also knows that the customs of Canglan and Donglan are different, so I specially came to ask the county lord, but are there any taboos?" ”

"Now that we have reached the realm of vicissitudes, we should naturally follow the customs of the locals, and besides, Xiaoman and I have no taboos, and Commander Li doesn't have to worry." Lu Li's answer was not leaky, and his complexion was still the same as before, without any change.

Rao is a self-acquaintance like Li Lin, and he can't help but feel a little too alienated from Lu Li's attitude, so he can't help it.

Just as Li Lin was thinking about how to start another topic, Lu Li got up, "Does Lord Li have anything else to do?" ”

"There's nothing else to do, since Zhenguo Gong still has something to do, then I'll leave first." Li Lin got up to say goodbye with a warm smile on his face.

"Farewell."

came to the post house, but I couldn't see the legendary Mrs. Lu, but I was able to meet Zhenguo Gong and have a conversation, although the other party was too alienated, but he was not the kind of person who was difficult to get along with, so it has always been, in fact, it is not too much of a loss. On the way back, Li Lin comforted himself.

Lu Li, who sent Li Lin away, returned to the backyard, looking at Xiao Man's busy appearance, a shallow smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and his heart suddenly settled down.

And Xiao Man, who saw Lu Li coming, immediately ran forward excitedly, and asked left and right curiously: "What kind of person is this Commander Li, and what is he here for?" Lu Li, after you talked to him, did you notice any clues? ”

Lu Li rubbed Xiaoman's head, lowered his head slightly, and there was a slightly doting smile hidden in his voice: "You ask so much in one breath, where should I start?" ”

"Then you can say the same, starting with the first impression." Xiao Man was very curious.

"According to my observation, this Li Commander's martial arts are not low, and he should be about the same age as the king." Lu Li casually took the woman into his arms, and said unhurriedly: "He said that he came to choose and build a mansion supervised by the king, but I don't think it's that simple." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Man poked his head out and looked at the man, "Choose to build a mansion?" ”

Lu Li stretched out his hand and tapped the tip of the woman's nose, looked at the other party dotingly, and explained: "It was the king who chose you, after all, you are now the county lord of Canglan now, and you have to do other things while busy with Huali's caravan, you can't live in the post house all the time, right?" ”

In this way, it is true, if you live in a post house for a long time, it will be inconvenient to enter and exit.

While the two were talking, the person who was packing up the cotton clothes came over to report and said, "Shopkeeper Su, we have sorted out all these cotton clothes, what do you think we will do next?" ”

These people are all brought by Xiaoman from Shangjing, some are guys in the store, some are people in the house, there are not many people, but the important thing is to trust each other, and because they have been together for a long time, the two sides also know each other very well, so there is no need to explain too much.

"There's nothing else to do, you all go and rest, I'm here waiting for Lord Huali to come and receive it." Xiao Man smiled slightly, and said: "After such a long time, everyone has worked hard, they all go to rest, and I will have to trouble you in the future." ”

"Whatever Shopkeeper Su said, we all came willingly, and Shopkeeper Su also paid us wages, where there is no trouble." The worker smiled and touched the back of his head modestly.

Xiao Man couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips when he heard this, and his eyebrows were crooked, "Okay, then you guys will go to rest first, and I'll just stay here." ”

More than a dozen workers answered, and they all went to rest, leaving only Xiaoman and Lu Li in the backyard.

The backyard was a little narrow, and after placing more than 300 pieces of cotton clothes, Xiaoman and Lu Li could only sit in the corner. But even so, the two were very happy, talking and laughing, making fun of each other, and laughing constantly.

In such a narrow backyard, Xiao Man gradually gave birth to the feeling of returning to Bishui Village, as if everything that happened before was just a dream. But soon, the sound of hurried footsteps interrupted Xiao Man's feeling.

"Shopkeeper Su, Lord Huali is here, and he said that he wants to sign for the more than 300 cotton clothes."

Xiao Man was pulled up by Lu Li, patted the soil on his skirt casually, and responded: "I know, I'll go out, you call a few people out, so that you can help Lord Huali move these cotton clothes away." ”

"Yes!"

After ordering all this, Xiao Man turned to look at Lu Li, and sighed with some regret, "I'll go get busy first, you can also go and rest." ”

"It's okay, I'll help you move, clean up early, and we'll rest early." Lu Li smiled, raised his hand to rub Xiao Man's face, and said affectionately: "Let's go, Holley is still waiting in front." ”

As he spoke, Lu Li leaned over slightly and took Xiao Man's hand, clenched it and kneaded it gently, and then led people to the front hall.

Feeling the familiar smell lingering on the tip of his nose, as well as the heat coming from his hands, Xiao Man suddenly felt warm and happy, and thought: Indeed, as long as you can be with Lu Li, what difference does it make if it is Canglan or Donglan? As long as the family is together, it's good to go anywhere.

After all, the cotton clothes were made by the Manrou Garment Workshop, and Holley was very satisfied when it was accepted, and paid the tail fee happily, and also gave a few little brothers to carry the hard money, which was very bold.

Huali still had some things to discuss with Xiao Man, so he asked his subordinates to go back with cotton clothes first, while he stayed alone and went to the council hall with Xiao Man and Lu Li.

"I'm thinking I'll wait until all this batch of cotton clothes is sold, and then I'll order the next clothes, right?" Hua Li said as he walked, "But now that you are in Canglan, it will be much more convenient for me to discuss things with you." ”

Xiao Man smiled, "Yes, when you go to Donglan, you can also help us with a little faith by the way." ”

As they spoke, the three of them came to the council chamber.

After closing the door and making sure that there was no one around, Xiao Man and Hua Li sat down and lowered their voices, "Hua Li, in fact, I have one more thing I want to ask you, you must tell the truth, do you know?" ”

"It doesn't hurt to be straight."

"Today, Li Lin, the commander of the palace guards, came to the post house for the king's choice to build a mansion for me, do you know about this? And Li Lin, what kind of person is he? Can we be trusted? Xiao Man frowned and stared at each other, a little nervous.

Hearing this, Hua Li frowned, a little puzzled: "Li Lin is here?" He is a commander, why did he come to the post house to ask about your mansion, shouldn't he let the people from the household department come? ”

"Don't talk about this first, you can tell me first, what kind of person is this Li Lin?" Xiao Man hurriedly urged.

"Li Lin has been a good friend of the king for many years, before the king succeeded to the throne, Li Lin has always been the king's companion, and the two of them have a very deep relationship, you can rest assured." Hua Li smiled and wanted to pat Xiao Man's shoulder.

But before Hua Li's raised hand fell, he was frightened away by Lu Li's eyes.

He swallowed his saliva, laughed dryly to hide his embarrassment, and was relieved: "Don't worry, since the king succeeded to the throne, this Bei'an is very calm, even if there are some restless people underneath, but after all, you have the king's backer, and no one dares to touch you." ”

After speaking, Hua Liwei said that what he said was true, and explained: "Our king, the most favored one before was Rong Wang Chulang, even the Rong Wangfu was personally supervised by the king, and now your mansion is also supervised by the king himself, which shows that the king has long regarded you as his own family, rest assured!" ”
