The carriage stopped in front of the Wei Mansion, but no one got out, but after a pause, it turned around and drove in the other direction.

Following Mao Zhiyuan's guidance, the carriage stopped at a very secluded inn, and the three of them got out of the car and walked straight upstairs.

At that time, Huali just returned to the inn, and before he could sit down, he heard a knock on the door, he had to turn around and open the door, he thought it was Xiao Er who came to knock on the door, but after seeing Lu Li and Wei Xiuyuan and others, he was really surprised.

"You... How did you guys get here? Hua Li was very surprised, and before he could ask the other party how he knew where he lived, Mao Zhiyuan walked out from behind the two.

He said apologetically: "Brother Hua Li, I'm sorry, if it weren't for Grandpa Guo and Lord Wei looking for you urgently, I would never have leaked your address, I'm really sorry." ”

Fortunately, Hua Li was not confined to this matter, he invited Lu Li and the others into the door, poured tea for each other, and asked: "I don't know if Guogong and Lord Wei are here, what is the so-called matter?" ”

Since the contract incident that came out of the envoys, Holley has not seen Lu Li and others for a long time, in fact, it is not because the cooperation was not successfully negotiated, but more because of Holley's guilt for Xiaoman, as well as the anger and shame of the envoy who did such a despicable thing.

"Holley, in fact, I came to you for cooperation." Lu left the door to see the mountain, and did not say any twists and turns, and directly said the point that Hua Li was looking forward to the most in his heart.

As Lu Li expected, as soon as he heard the word "cooperation", Holley immediately had a spirit, and he didn't care about greeting a few more people, but sat directly opposite Lu Li, staring at each other with a pair of eyes for a moment, a little incredulous: "You... Are you telling the truth? I... We were before, not ...... before"

Xu was too excited, and Holley was a little incoherent.

Lu Li patted the other party's shoulder and said solemnly: "That's right, what I said is true." After this period of consideration, Xiaoman and I have already discussed, as long as you are willing to help us, then we can definitely cooperate with you. ”

You must know that Manrou Garment Workshop is one of the stores with the best reputation in Beijing, and the audience ranges from ordinary people to noble women's daughters, covering all groups of people. Since Holley already knows the goodness of Manrou Garment Workshop, it is impossible to choose other stores in a short period of time.

What's more, even if he has to choose other homes, as long as the Manrou Garment Workshop extends an olive branch to him now, he will not hesitate to abandon the others and come back to choose the Manrou Garment Shop without hesitation.

Lu Li has full confidence and certainty in this.

Things are indeed as Lu Li expected, Hua Li roughly talked about the experience during this time, nothing more than shopping all over Beijing, but he didn't find a better store than Manrou Garment Workshop, nor did he find a store that echoed his thoughts, he was almost desperate.

Fortunately, Lu Li came to the door at this time, otherwise he would definitely return empty-handed.

"Okay, as long as I can cooperate with you, then I will definitely do my best to help you!" Holley didn't even ask what it was, so he responded to this matter so boldly.

Lu Li couldn't help but smile, and then said: "But Huali, this matter we want you to help with may be a little difficult for you, are you willing to accept it?" ”

Hua Li nodded first, then quickly stopped, and said with a serious face: "Please also ask Grandpa Guo to explain what I need help with first." ”

Lu Li didn't speak, but looked sideways at Wei Xiuyuan and Mao Zhiyuan, and after a few eye contacts, he turned around, looked into the other party's eyes, and said solemnly: "As far as I know, King Canglan is about to arrive in Shangjing in the near future, and your king will come to Shangjing in person, presumably for the sake of harmony, right?" ”

Hearing this, Holley didn't understand what the other party meant, so he couldn't help frowning, didn't respond, and motioned for the other party to continue.

"The matter of harmony was canceled, and it was also because the envoy drew up a cooperation treaty without authorization, which made the Manrou Garment Shop displeased, and I had to tell the emperor about it in order to refuse the envoy, so the emperor was furious and ordered the cancellation of the harmony."

Hua Li suddenly realized, "You are afraid that after the king comes to Beijing, he will investigate the reason for the failure of the peace family and embarrass the shopkeeper Su, right?" ”

Lu Li arched his hand and smiled slightly: "Brother Hua Li is smart. ”

As soon as the words fell, Hua Li suddenly laughed, he got up and patted Lu Li's shoulder, "Don't worry, this matter is on me, as long as I can cooperate with Manrou Garment Workshop, I will definitely do my best to let the king go up and hold the person who has the real problem accountable!" ”

When he said the last few words, Hua Li gritted his teeth, and his eyes looked at a certain place, as if he wanted to break the body of the person he thought in his heart into pieces.

Seeing this, everyone understood in their hearts that Huali knew that all this was the fault of the envoys, and it seemed that if King Canglan came up, he would have to deal with internal affairs before he could continue to discuss peace with the emperor.

After the business was successfully discussed, in order not to be misunderstood by others, Lu Li and the others hurriedly said goodbye and went home.

When Lu Li returned to Lu Mansion, it coincided with Xiao Man coming back with Wangshu.

"Lu Li!" Xiao Man stepped forward excitedly, his face full of joy, "Old Man Xia is willing to accept Shu as a student, how about it, is it unexpected?" ”

After many years, Mr. Xia re-admitted the student, and the student was still a three-year-old child, and he was afraid that he would shock the whole of Shangjing if he said it.

How could Lu Li not be surprised, he couldn't help asking, "Has Old Man Xia seen Wangshu?" How could he agree, could it be that Mr. Lin also lobbied from it? ”

After all, Mr. Lin and Mr. Xia have a good relationship, if Mr. Lin and Xia Wanrou lobby at the same time, plus Wangshu is already talented and intelligent, in this way, it makes sense for Mr. Xia to accept Wangshu as a student.

"Of course not!" As soon as she mentioned this, Xiao Man was even more excited and proud, she and Lu Li said while walking towards the inner courtyard: "Today, Wangshu and I went to the Xia Mansion with Sister Wanrou, I wanted to lobby so that the old man could accept Wangshu as a student, but as soon as this matter was mentioned, the old man vetoed it. ”

Not to mention how nervous the scene was at that time, even Mrs. Xia didn't dare to speak, Xia Wanrou didn't dare to make a sound, Xiao Man's nervous palms were cold sweat, and he thought that today's trip would be in vain, but at this time, Wang Shu came out and said something.

What was said specifically, Xiao Man was too nervous to remember at the time, but it was probably because Wangshu was criticizing Old Man Xia for not making such an arbitrary decision.

Those words made the old man angry, and Xiao Man knelt down directly to the other party, for fear that Wangshu would make the old man angry, but what was strange was that the old man was actually shaken by Wangshu's words, and changed his previous stern attitude.

What's even more surprising is that after Old Man Xia asked Wangshu a few questions, he completely changed his mind and decided to accept Wangshu as a student.

"Really?" Lu Li was also surprised after hearing this, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Man, and asked again in disbelief: "Was this really the case at the time, you didn't exaggerate, right?" ”

Hearing this, Xiao Man couldn't help but throw him a roll of his eyes, but his tone was unconcealed smugness: "Wangshu is so good, and the scene at that time was indeed as urgent as I said, if you don't believe it, you ask Wangshu well, anyway, children won't lie." ”

The scene at that time would only be a hundred times more urgent than she had recounted!

Lu Li moved his gaze down and raised his eyebrows, "Wangshu, is this really the case?" ”

"It's exactly as my mother said." Wangshu replied obediently.

Hearing this, Lu Li straightened up, looked at Xiao Man with a smile, and raised one hand to cover the other party's cheek, "Thank you for your hard work." ”

Old Man Xia is notoriously strict and strict, and it is indeed great courage to be able to take Wangshu to the Xia Mansion alone and beg the other party to accept Wangshu as a student. Although Old Man Xia will not really treat them well, but in the face of Old Man Xia's sense of urgency and crampedness, it is indeed not something that anyone can bear.

What's more, the old man also accepted Wangshu's most student very happily.

Xiao Man laughed, took away Lu Li's palm, snorted deliberately, and then took Wangshu in the direction of the inner courtyard. Lu Li looked at the back of the mother and son leaving, and couldn't help laughing.

Compared with the relaxed and happy Lu Mansion, the atmosphere in the post house is extremely solemn.

The envoy sat on the couch and looked at the note that the guard had just handed over, and his face became more and more ugly.

The king has already arrived in the territory of Donglan, and he must be in Shangjing soon, but there is no progress on his side, especially the matter of harmony, if the king knows that the cancellation of harmony is caused by him, the consequences will ......

Thinking of this, the envoy couldn't help but rub his eyebrows, and the big stone that fell in his heart was a little heavier.

"Your Excellency, the king is coming, you... What can you do? The guard asked cautiously.

Hearing this, the minister sighed, rolled up the note again, threw it aside, and frowned: "What can I do, even if I can hide it for a while, I can't hide it for a lifetime!" When the king arrives in Shangjing, sooner or later he will know everything! ”

As he spoke, the envoy hated again, "It's all to blame for that stubborn Huali who refused to cooperate with me, and insisted on moving out, I... Hey—"

In the end, the envoy had nothing to say, so he could only sigh.

"Your Excellency, why don't we tell the king everything!" The guard broke the jar and said, "Anyway, the cancellation of the harmony is also because Su Xiaoman's husband, that is, the grandfather of the country, went to say something to the emperor, and it is none of the adult's business!" ”

"Are you stupid!" The envoy got up, and directly hit the guard on the head in annoyance, "Then the reason why Lu Li went to tell the emperor is not because he is dissatisfied with the content of the contract?" At the end of the day, it's not because of me! ”

The guard continued: "But Lu Li thinks that the contract was drawn up by you and Lord Huali, and as long as we drag Lord Huali into the water, then he will have to help us then." ”
