Chapter 894: The New Year is Approaching
After waiting for all the envoys to press it, Lu Li asked the eunuch beside him to bring the jade seal over.
After receiving the jade seal, Lu Li pressed on the six sheets one by one.
After dealing with it, each envoy had an identical contract in his hand.
At the same time, Lu Li also had one more copy in his hand, and looking at the contract signed together, Lu Li spoke.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's a pleasure to work together, and I hope we can renew the contract in five years."
Of course, everyone also wants to continue to renew the contract, but they know what Donglan will develop into in the future.
Several envoys were scheming, how could they say what they were thinking, and the prince came out to respond.
"I hope that the world will be filled with peace and love."
Su Xiaoman almost couldn't hold back his laughter after hearing this, who doesn't know their thoughts, I wish Donglan was strong.
Since then, the imperial histories of various countries have expressed their positions, and the wizard who often does not speak has also said that he will go to the future together.
After signing the contract, Lu Li arranged a lunch to see them off.
Su Xiaoman naturally attended as the queen, and with a clanging step, Su Xiaoman felt that his ears were going to explode.
Fortunately, it was the last day, as long as they persevered, so Su Xiaoman endured it and accompanied them to eat the last meal.
When they went out of the city, Su Xiaoman brought all the Shangshu to see them off.
This will be different from picking up, the six Shangshu are all present, which shows that they are full of face.
After Su Xiaoman finished eating, he hurriedly changed his clothes, and without taking off his headdress, he followed those envoys out of the palace together.
After sending people to the city gate, several Shangshu stopped one after another, and had no intention of continuing to send.
The envoys poked their heads out of the carriage one after another and thanked the scholars.
The quiet scholar got out of the car with his general, and then saluted Su Xiaoman respectfully, and then said.
"Thank you Su Shangshu and all Shangshu for taking care of you these days, I am really grateful."
Seeing that he was so polite, Su Xiaoman politely waved his hand and said.
"You're so polite, this is what we should do, just have fun on this trip."
The weak envoy bowed his hand to them again, and then took his leave.
Followed by a slightly barbarian and a wizard from Miao Jiang, the two politely thanked each other, and then said goodbye and left.
The prince with his sister also got out of the car and thanked him with his sister and Su Xiaoman.
"Thanks to Su Shangshu for taking care of me in the past few days, my little sister has collided many times and asked Su Shangshu to forgive me."
Su Xiaoman was not a person with a small belly, and the other party was still a little girl, so he said with a smile.
"It's okay, the young man's heart still needs to be tempered more, I'm quite a big person, and I won't be weird with children."
The prince understood what Su Xiaoman meant, but the little kid made the princess a little irritable, so he stepped forward and said.
"I'm not a child, I'm mature, don't look down on me, hum."
Su Xiaoman laughed softly
, this is not yet a child's character?
Just complained in her heart, she didn't really say it, if she did, maybe they wouldn't have to leave today.
Before they could make a joke, the barbarian got out of the car.
Originally, he thought that Su Xiaoman and others would send him off, so he didn't need to get out of the car, who would have thought that people didn't take themselves seriously at all.
also has a yellow-haired girl who is also a hairy boy and giggles, but she really doesn't take him seriously.
So he could only get out of the car in person, walked in front of Su Xiaoman and the others, his face sank, and he didn't speak.
When the prince saw him coming, he said goodbye to Su Xiaoman, and said goodbye to the barbarian before leaving.
His sister probably didn't like the strong man, and softly blamed her brother.
"Why are you talking to him, people don't look down on us."
These words were very harsh, and Su Xiaoman and the others didn't expect the princess to be so straightforward.
But the barbarian is also a straightforward person, and he didn't look down on it in the first place, so he didn't refute it.
After the brother and sister left, Su Xiaoman said to the barbarian.
"Let this envoy also go on his way, and we are here to see you away."
The barbarian envoy's face was a little hideous, and then he also said awkwardly.
"I've been tired of the adults these days."
After finishing speaking, he didn't give Su Xiaoman a chance to speak, and continued.
"I will come to visit again in the future, please help tell your country's first general, I will come again."
Presumably, the first military general he said may be Li Ran, but here is obviously her husband's most powerful.
Su Xiaoman was not convinced that Li Ran was the first general, so he said.
"First, he may not be able to afford it, but second, he can still barely afford it."
Listening to Su Xiaoman's words, the barbarian was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the people who fought with him so well were the second, so wouldn't the first be very powerful?
Because he admired force, he was very curious about the first person Su Xiaoman said, so he asked.
"So who's the first? When I go back and practice martial arts, I must challenge the first place next time I come. ”
Hearing him say this, everyone present laughed, after all, the first is the current saint, even if he is powerful, it is impossible to ask the emperor to take action.
Looking at his questioning eyes, Su Xiaoman controlled his smile and explained to him.
"We are the first in Donglan, but today's saint, the saint has made great achievements in the past, and the enemies are terrified, even if you are powerful, our emperor may not be able to make a move."
The savage who knew the truth opened his mouth wide in surprise, and the mouth was so big that it could stuff a whole egg.
Su Xiaoman looked at him who was surprised, and calculated the time, it was quite cold outside, why did he want to accompany him, so he said.
"It's not early, the messenger should hurry up and get on the road, lest it be too late and there will be no inn to stay in."
When the barbarians heard this, they took their leave, got into the carriage and left.
Su Xiaoman breathed a sigh of relief after seeing them all sent away.
"Finally sent them away."
It's the same with all the Shangshu next to you, finally
Sent away, now you can take a break.
After the foreign envoys came to sign the contract, there was no major event in the court.
There is probably a point that when welcoming foreign guests, Su Xiaoman attended as the queen, and all the ministers wrote to Su Xiaoman to return to the throne.
But Su Xiaoman always felt that Donglan's current form was not very stable, so he didn't want to go back to be the queen.
Lu Li has no choice, his wife can only be spoiled, so he promised the ministers that after Su Xiaoman ascended to the highest position in the court, the stability of the country would be a matter of ten miles of red makeup.
The route of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project was also sorted out before the year, and it seems that the Spring Festival is approaching, and the palace has become busy.
Because Lu Li was an emperor with other surnames before, the matter of sacrifice was probably avoided.
But prayer can be had, so Lu Li ordered the Ministry of Rites to prepare for prayer.
The New Year's prayer was arranged at a temple on the hill on the outskirts of Shangjing.
Although the temple is relatively small, it is said to be very effective.
The previous royal family held ancestor worship activities, Lu Li, the founding emperor of the country, what do you do to remember other people's ancestors?
Therefore, the temple was arranged to pray for blessings, and at the same time, it was also to make Donglan more prosperous.
The palace people in the palace were busy, and they all cheered up for this blessing.
The embroidery girls are also very busy, and they have to make clothes for the emperor before praying for blessings.
Because of the matter of praying for blessings, some officials have said it to Lu Li.
"If the emperor prays for blessings without the queen, it is unreasonable after all, or Lord Su will return to the throne and go together?"
Lu Li knew that he wanted Su Xiaoman to return to the rear position as soon as possible, and well, the official position would be given to these old ministers.
Lu Li also said it at the beginning, and when he waited until the country was stable, he blamed him.
"I've already made a promise, and after Donglan is stable, you won't remember it?"
Of course, these ministers know, how could they not know, but such a thing as praying for blessings does need the queen.
So those ministers sent a bold one to discuss with the emperor, and the person who was photographed didn't force it much.
"Your Majesty, you see that it's just a formality, after praying for blessings, Su Shangshu or Su Shangshu, what do you say?"
Lu Li understood what they meant, and it turned out that he wanted to take a temporary break again.
If that's the case, there is no problem, Lu Li analyzed it carefully, and then said.
"It's not impossible, when the time comes, I will discuss it with Su Shangshu."
The minister was content when he heard that he could discuss it, but the rest of the people were not in this opinion.
So he still had to bargain with the emperor, and said with a thousand instructions.
"Your Majesty, this is not a matter for discussion, you must take Su Shangshu with you, and the clothes are also ordered as soon as possible, this time is also very anxious, don't you say?"
Lu Li was very troubled by what they said, so he put his hand on his forehead and promised.
"Okay, well, I naturally want to take Su Shangshu with me
Go, rest assured, Aiqing, I plan to be free, you don't have to worry about it anymore. ”
Hearing Lu Li's promise, these old ministers who came to the study were relieved.
After a few old ministers were relieved, they saluted and went back, and before leaving, they also told the queen's clothes.
Lu Li did not hesitate, and immediately saw the eunuch beside him go to ask the embroidery girl to rush to work.
This is busy embroidery girls, I was in a hurry for one set, but I didn't expect another set.
There is no way to do this, and it will naturally take some time to get busy when the year is approaching.
Su Xiaoman was also very busy at this time, helping Lu Li review the folds every day, and then returning home to check the family's expenses for a year.
Checking project payments, as well as distributing year-end bonuses to people and other things, is always busy.
But fortunately, Xiaotong and Huang Fengyi were there, which saved Su Xiaoman a lot of heart.
In addition to settlement, the New Year is approaching, and the Lu Mansion also has to do New Year's goods, as well as decorate the mansion, and Su Xiaoman doesn't want to celebrate the New Year at all.
