Chapter 269: Canglan Map
There are three clothes in the cloth bag, except for a slightly thin single coat worn in the spring and autumn period, the other two are cotton clothes. This cotton coat is also a little different, one is soft to the touch, very light; The lining of the other piece is directly made of wolf skin, which is heavier than the other, but it is warmer.
The workmanship of the two garments is very fine, the feet are dense and very even, and even the stitches of the one lined with wolf skin are very dense, and it seems that it took a lot of effort.
"Is this ......," Huali asked with a frown.
The envoy coughed lightly, "Before you came back, Lu Li and Wei Xiu came from afar, and this is the clothes they sent." ”
"Why did they suddenly think to come to visit you?" As he spoke, Hua Li picked up the robe lined with wolf skin and made a gesture to drape it on himself.
But before the clothes fell on his shoulders, they were snatched back by the envoy, "This is a gift from me, don't think about it." ”
After saying this, the envoy folded the garment neatly, put it away, and tied the cloth bag again.
Seeing this, Hua Li couldn't help but slander the other party for being stingy, but he didn't dare to say it, let alone have the courage to refute it, so he could only ask again: "How could they think of sending you something, as far as I know, this Lu Guogong is the most upright person, let alone a foreign minister, even Donglan's courtiers rarely come and go." ”
Seeing that this matter couldn't be mixed, the envoy had no choice but to tell the truth: "They know that we are secretly investigating Su Xiaoman's affairs, so they are here to deliver clothes and visit on the surface, but in fact, they are here to warn." ”
Hearing this, Holley was a little surprised, "How did they find out?" ”
"Who knows." The envoy returned to the chair and sat down, frowned and said: "But now that you think this Su Xiaoman is good, our people don't have to follow the investigation all the time, they have all withdrawn, and Lu Li of the province reported this matter to the emperor, causing trouble for no reason." ”
"Yes, I'll do it."
After all, Su Xiaoman is the Duchess of the Kingdom, and she is still the emperor's first-class lady, although they have no malicious intentions, but if they really annoy Lu Li and tell the emperor about this matter, let alone peace and kiss at that time, even whether the two countries can go on smoothly is a problem.
After all, Huali has already touched the bottom of Su Xiaoman, and he still thinks that this person is good, so let him continue to contact.
Lu Fu.
Xiaoman returned from the game, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Lu Li walking towards him.
She couldn't help but raise a brisk smile, trotted over, and threw herself into the other party's arms, "Lu Li!" ”
"How's the game? Is it still going well? Lu Li hugged Xiao Man tightly, gently stroked the other party's hair with his palm, and asked softly.
Speaking of the competition, Xiao Man's mind couldn't help but think of the scene of the quarrel with the woman in red in Jiangfu today, she sighed secretly, her originally raised eyebrows drooped down a few points, and her facial features wrinkled together with some grievances, revealing a few traces of irritability that are not usually revealed.
However, because she was hiding in Lu Li's arms, she thought that the other party couldn't see it, so she made this negative expression, but she didn't want Lu Li to hear her faint sigh a long time ago.
The man let go of her and leaned over slightly, with a hint of distress in his eyebrows: "What's wrong?" Well? ”
"Nothing." Xiao Man waved his hand busily, instantly suppressed those emotions, and raised a brisk smile, "It's just a game, what can happen, don't worry, I'm fine!" ”
Lu Li gently pinched the other party's chin, forcing the other party to face him, and then pretended to be serious: "Since it's nothing, then what are you doing with a sigh?" ”
Xiao Man bit his lower lip weakly, his eyes blinked unnaturally, but he didn't dare to look at each other's eyes.
"Xiaoman, tell me, huh?" Lu Li deliberately lowered his voice, with a slight sense of demagogy, plus he pinched Xiao Man's chin, and his inky black eyes looked at Xiao Man without blinking, so that the other party's heart was empty and concealed.
couldn't resist it for a while, so Xiao Man had to tell what was misunderstood by others in Jiangfu today.
If this matter was placed in the past, or in the years when Lu Li went on the expedition, Xiao Man would not take this as a thing at all, she would dissolve and comfort herself, and she would never let such a thing affect her in the slightest.
But now it's different, she has Lu Li by her side, the other party's mind is as delicate as hair, every time she has something unhappy, the other party can notice it for the first time, after a long time, her ability to self-dissolve has greatly deteriorated, and now even things like arguing with others will be affected.
Speaking of which, she still has a dependency around her, which gives her the confidence to be coquettish, angry, angry, and make small emotions.
Because Xiaoman knows that no matter how unhappy he is, how angry and annoyed, Lu Li will come to comfort him,
"The person you're talking about is the one you mentioned before, the one who likes you very much, right?" Listening to Xiao Man say a lot, Lu Li's patience was still there, he took Xiao Man's hand and asked softly, his voice was gentle.
Xiaoman nodded truthfully, with a slight grievance on his face: "If I had known, I would have directly revealed my identity, otherwise I would not have suffered such grievances." Although Master Jiang would not doubt me because of such a thing, it was really uncomfortable to be misunderstood. ”
She was originally Su Xiaoman, and she had done embroidery for so many years, and her style had long been stable, so when she embroidered embroidery in the competition, it was naturally difficult to erase her unique style in a short period of time.
It was because of this that he was caught with the pigtails and said that he was plagiarizing Su Xiaoman's embroidery, but he was originally Su Xiaoman, so how could he plagiarize himself?
Looking at Xiao Man's aggrieved appearance, Lu Li smiled, stretched out his two hands and poked at the dimples on Xiao Man's cheeks, "It's good to have a clear conscience, why care about other people's opinions?" When the results of the competition are announced in the future, and your identity can be revealed, they will naturally know how stupid they have been. ”
"Especially, that person who keeps saying he likes you, but doesn't respect others, is not worth letting go, you know?"
Xiao Man bit his lip and his eyelids drooped, "But I'm still... Still a bit ......"
"Xiaoman." Lu Li suddenly called: "I have good news for you, do you want to hear it?" ”
Xiao Man immediately raised his eyes, with a little expectation: "What news?" ”
Seeing that the other party finally recovered a little bit of anger, Lu Li was also a little more relaxed, he took the other party's hand, didn't speak, and walked straight to the study with someone.
"Lu Li, what's the good news, tell me now?" Xiaoman couldn't hold back, and asked vigorously, but until he arrived in the study, the man didn't say a word, and he sold enough.
The man let go of the woman's hand, and then turned around to rummage in the bookcase to find something, Xiao Man watched from the side, as if a feather was gently scratching in his heart, which made people's hearts itch, and he had to keep staring at each other, for fear of missing something.
I don't know how long I rummaged through the bookcase, Lu Li finally got up, and when he turned to face Xiao Man, he was holding a yellow-brown parchment roll in his hand, which looked old, and he didn't know how many years it had been placed.
"What is this?" Xiaoman was curious, didn't he say that he wanted to tell himself any good news, why did he take out this thing again?
Lu Li smiled, still silent, he pulled Xiao Man to the table, rolled the sheepskin on the table and slowly unfolded it, "Look." ”
The parchment roll slowly unfolded, and Xiao Man looked at it and found that this was actually a map of Canglan Country.
An idea vaguely popped up in her heart, but she was not sure, but this seed was buried deep in her heart, quickly took root and sprouted, growing into a towering tree, blocking Xiaoman's throat, forcing her to say the truest guess in her heart.
"Did you guess something?" Lu Li asked her with raised eyebrows.
Xiao Man swallowed his saliva and carefully touched the leather map, and the question in his heart became more and more uncontrollable. Because this map is obviously not a military map, and this map is marked with a small triangle on the rich cities of Canglan Kingdom, especially the location of the capital, which is marked with three small triangles.
Is it really the same as you think?
She looked sideways at Lu Li, "This is the map of Canglan Country, you want to tell me that Canglan's caravan has agreed to cooperate with me, right?" ”
In the last two words, Xiaoman's voice was light and light, full of hesitation and uncertainty, but Lu Li, who knew her best, knew her best that under the other party's full uncertainty and hesitation, there was great joy and expectation. But because of the fear of disappointment, Xiao Man didn't dare to show this mood at all.
Even if she really guessed correctly.
"Yes." Lu Li gave the other party an extremely firm answer, he pointed to the capital of Canglan, "This is the capital of Canglan, and it is also the most prosperous place in Canglan Country, I think, we may not be able to go to Taoyuan County in the future, because I have to go to Canglan to see our business in person." ”
"Lu Li, is what you said true?" Xiao Man's joy had overflowed on his face, but he was still unsure.
Lu Li smiled, turned around and put his hands on the other party's shoulders, leaned over slightly to meet the other party's eyes, and smiled at the corners of his mouth: "This is the good news I told you, why, don't you believe it?" Still can't believe it? ”
Xiao Man nodded hurriedly, "I believe you, I believe you!" Can... But how do you do it? ”
If it is just in Donglan, after all, Lu Li's identity and status are there, even if he doesn't say it, the other party will take the initiative to come up. But this time is different, the object she wants to cooperate with is Canglan Country, a country, a small but cannot be ignored.
What's more, her hopes fell to the bottom a few days ago, and she thought she was going to miss this opportunity.
"I used my status as a public to persecute them." Lu Li stretched out his hand and pinched Xiao Man's white little face, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile.
Xiao Man's eyes widened very cooperatively, "Really? ”
