"Lord Wei, Lord Wei!" The envoy didn't have the heart to sit anymore, he was too busy to get up, and specially used Donglan's etiquette to bow his hand to Wei Xiuyuan, for embarrassment: "Lord Wei, this matter is a misunderstanding, don't-"

"Xiao Man is Lu Li's wife, if you want to explain, you should tell him, tell me what to do!" Wei Xiuyuan interrupted the other party's words angrily, don't turn his face, obviously don't want to buy the other party's account.

The envoy couldn't see that the other party was deliberately embarrassing himself, but at this time, what else could he say? Are you still holding on to denying it?

Fine beads of sweat had already appeared on the envoy's face, and the guards on the side wanted to stand up for their envoy, but they were blocked by the envoy's eyes.

"Zhen Guogong, this matter is really just a misunderstanding, don't be angry." As he spoke, the envoy walked up to Lu Li, bent down solemnly, and explained seriously: "Actually, it was the person in charge of our country's caravan who went to Jiang Mansion to seek cooperation some time ago, but was rejected by Lord Jiang. However, although the other party rejected us, he specially recommended Su Xiaoman, that is, your lady's shop, to us. ”

Hearing this, Lu Li finally raised his head slightly, looked at the envoy with his eyes, raised his eyebrows, and seemed to smile: "Is that so?" ”

"Yes, yes, that's it!" The envoy finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the other party was willing to talk to him, and then continued to explain the original situation: "However, after all, this is a matter of cooperation in the relations between the two countries, and you can't choose rashly, so I allowed them to investigate secretly." ”

After speaking, for fear of Lu Li's misunderstanding, he hurriedly explained: "But don't worry, we have never done anything to affect your lady during this period, let alone disturb her shop, don't worry!" I swear! ”

Lu Li stared at him without speaking, and Wei Xiuyuan also looked like he didn't believe it, "Really? ”

The envoy put his fingers together and said, "I swear!" ”

In the end, he explained: "We just want to make sure that the person recommended to us by Lord Jiang is okay, and there is no other purpose, please rest assured, I will let the person who investigated your lady come back now, and promise not to disturb her again." ”

In fact, it wasn't that the person they secretly investigated affected Xiaoman, and it wasn't that Lu Li noticed anything wrong, but Mao Zhiyuan heard about it, so he told them. Therefore, it is certain that what the envoys said is true, and they really did not do anything to harm or affect Xiaoman.

Thinking of this, Lu Li coughed lightly and got up: "This is the best." ”

Seeing this, Wei Xiu got up and stood behind Lu Li, he always looked into the eyes of the envoy, for fear that the other party was lying.

Seeing that the two of them were looking directly at themselves, the envoy touched his nose in embarrassment, and said carefully: "Guogong, this cooperation is very important, so even if I am the envoy of the Canglan Kingdom, I can't-"

"I know." Lu Li guessed the other party's thoughts, and said briskly: "Of course, we must be cautious about the friendship between the two countries, and I don't have any other meaning when I come this time, just ask casually." ”

As he spoke, he pushed the wrapped clothes on the table in front of the envoy, and a smile rose on the corner of his mouth, "However, my wife's shop is really good, you can take a look before making a decision." I'm sorry for today, so we'll go first and take our leave. ”

Without waiting for the other party to exit, Lu Li pulled Wei Xiuyuan out of the door of the post house.

Mao Zhiyuan, who was outside the door, hurriedly stepped forward, with a little worry and anxiety on his face, "Lord Wei, Grandpa Guo, are you okay?" They're not doing well, are they? ”

"What do you want, envoy?" Wei Xiuyuan asked rhetorically with arrogance, and after seeing that Mao Zhiyuan's worried appearance didn't look like he was pretending, he chuckled again, reached out and patted the other party's shoulder, and comforted: "Don't worry, with Lu Li, can we still suffer?" ”

He turned sideways and gave Lu Li a look, "Am I right?" ”

Lu Li had already gotten on the horse, he coughed lightly, looked at Wei Xiuyuan's proud face from top to bottom, couldn't help laughing, and then followed the other party's words: "Yes, what you said is right." ”

It was still early in the morning when they came out, but after half a day's grind, it was almost noon.

Today's weather is exceptionally good, the blue sky is like a wash, a piece of blue, Lu Li holding the reins of the horse slowly and leisurely walking on the spacious streets of Shangjing, feeling the warm sun, the mood is also a little more relaxed.

"Lu Li, I'm going to the horse farm in the afternoon, are you going? I remember we hadn't been riding together for a long time. Wei Xiuyuan asked lazily.

Lu Li refused without thinking about it, "Don't go, I have something to do in the afternoon." ”

"What's going on with you this afternoon?" Wei Xiuyuan thought about it carefully, frowned and looked at Lu Li, "As far as I know, the emperor has been infected with a cold wind in the past two days, and he should not summon you into the palace again during this time, except for going to the palace, what other things can you do more important than your brother?" ”

"The results of the second match will be out today, Xiaoman still has to prepare for the last game, and I have to stay home with her." What Lu Li said was so straightforward that Wei Xiuyuan couldn't find a point to refute for a while.

He finally remembered why he and Lu Li hadn't gone to the racecourse together for a long time, in the final analysis, it was because Lu Li was tired of being with Xiaoman after marrying his wife, and it was okay to go out to play together, and now Xiaoman has to prepare for the competition, and Lu Li has to accompany him, which is too much.

Thinking about it, Wei Xiuyuan was inevitably a little displeased, he tightened the reins of his horse and walked forward sullenly.

Seeing that the friend beside him suddenly became dull, Lu Wei knew that the other party was unhappy for the sake of Fang Cai. Although Wei Xiuyuan is a straight person, he is also very arrogant on weekdays, and he will not talk about such trivial things in his heart, but Fang Cai's rejection of the other party so decisively seems to be a little unreasonable......

Lu Li thought about it and took the initiative to propose: "Wangshu was still making noise a few days ago to learn to ride a horse, but I haven't had time to teach him, it just so happens that you are free, why don't you take Wangshu to the horse farm, what do you say?" ”

Wang Shu is only more than three years old, of course, it is impossible to learn to ride a horse, but having someone to accompany him is always more interesting than Wei Xiuyuan to ride a horse alone.

But he underestimated his son's image in Wei Xiuyuan's heart, and as soon as he said this, he was strongly resisted by Wei Xiuyuan: "I don't!" Instead of asking your son to accompany me on horseback riding, I'd better go by myself!" Lu Wangshu is your enhanced version, it gives people a headache when you watch it! ”

Thinking about it like this, it is true, Lu Wangshu is young, but he has no mercy in educating Wei Xiuyuan, and on several occasions he even made Wei Xiuyuan speechless. Such a person, how could Wei Xiuyuan and dare to take him to the racecourse, isn't that self-destructive image, let the people in the racecourse see themselves as jokes!

Thinking of this, Lu Li couldn't help laughing, "Then what do you say?" The last game was crucial and I didn't want to distract him. ”

"Forget it, I don't even want to go to the horse farm when you say that." Wei Xiuyuan also completely lost interest, he waved his hand weakly, "In the afternoon, I'm still at home with Zijin, in the past few days, Wanrou has taught her to play chess, and every day makes people turn over, I'm still watching them at home, what will happen to the province." ”

"Zijin has started to learn to play chess?" Lu Li was a little surprised, "Your daughter's quirky temperament, can she sit there obediently and play chess?" ”

Regarding Wei Zijin's temperament, Lu Li has also been taught.

In the past, Donglan Guo appreciated a gentle woman like Xia Wanrou even more, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, gentle and generous, such a woman was more popular. Of course, it doesn't mean that Wei Zijin's temperament is unpleasant, it's just that he won't be liked by so many people.

In the past two years, Shangjing has become more and more prosperous, and many foreigners have lived here for a long time, and under the impact of various cultures and customs, women's personalities have gradually become diverse.

However, Xia Wanrou's father, that is, Wei Zijin's maternal grandfather, is a master of Chinese studies, and in his bones he is still the most important thing to be gentle and gentle, but now he has added a granddaughter with such a temperament, of course, he is anxious and helpless.

Presumably, it was also his idea to teach children to play chess at such a young age.

Sure enough, Wei Xiuyuan complained on the side: "It's not my father-in-law yet?" A few days ago, Wanrou took Zijin back to her parents' house to stay for a few days, and my father-in-law was angry with Zijin's temperament, plus he had contracted some minor problems in the recent change of seasons, and now he can't afford to be sick. Probably to comfort her father-in-law, Wanrou began to let her husband teach her son to play chess in the past few days. ”

Speaking of this, Wei Xiuyuan sighed with a sad face, and looked at Lu Li helplessly, "Children are so natural by nature, but they want to use manpower to reverse it, it's really naïve!" It's so pathetic! ”

"What about Wanrou? Is it the same idea as her father? Xu is also a father, Lu Li is a little sympathetic to the other party.

Wanrou is not as resolute as her father-in-law, but she thinks that it is not a way for the child to be naughty like this, so she can only let the teacher come to the house early so that she can teach some children. Even if you can't change the child's heart, at least you can make her more sensible. As he spoke, Wei Xiuyuan sighed again.

Lu Li nodded, "That's true." ”

"By the way, I've been watching at home for the past two days, that teaching gentleman is really good, if you don't mind, you can let Wangshu come to our house too." Wei Xiuyuan quickly led the topic to another aspect, "Anyway, you and Xiao Man are sticking every day, and you don't have time to take care of the child, so it's better to let him come to our house." ”

After speaking, Wei Xiuyuan also smiled at Lu Li with frowns.

Seeing this, Lu Li glanced at the other party casually, secretly led the horse to the other party's side, and took advantage of Wei Xiuyuan's eyebrows to dance happily, and suddenly reached out and patted the other party's horse buttocks.

The horse was suddenly frightened, spread its legs and ran forward, Wei Xiuyuan didn't check for a while, and his body shook violently on the horse's back. If it weren't for the fact that he still had the reins of the horse in his hand, he was afraid that he would have fallen off the horse.

"Lu Li! You wait for me! ”
