The lobby of the Xu family is probably the smallest one Zhao Xiangling has ever seen, with only four chairs, two in the front hall, and two sitting opposite each other.

There is no incense in the house, but there is a musty smell that can often be smelled in Jiangnan wooden houses.

Very faint and not noticeable.

Xu Buxuan sat in the first seat, put his hand on the arm of the chair, and quietly looked at the guy standing below who claimed to be Si Kou's son.

The temperament is well described, and it is the best one he has ever seen, but this face is by no means Si Koli's face.

Xu Buxuan's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and he quickly reined in: "I am good friends with the second son of Si Kou, and I have had a few encounters with him, this son, who are you, why did you come to see me in his name?" ”

Li Ruiqing was not surprised by Xu Buxuan's questioning, on the contrary, he just smiled faintly: "When did I say that I am the second son of Si Kou?" ”

Xu Buxuan thought about it, he really didn't say that.

So, he's the eldest son of Sikou?

Xu Buxuan looked at Li Ruiqing suspiciously, and he couldn't find the slightest shadow of Si Koli on his face.

Zhao Xiangling looked at Xu Buxuan up and down and looked Li Ruiqing up and down, and the latter sat down with an extremely frank attitude, without the slightest sense of restraint.

It turns out that Li Ruiqing is a natural liar. I really underestimated him.

In contrast, Xuanyin, who was standing next to Xu Buxuan, was very restrained.

The lower position was occupied by Zhao Xiangling and Li Ruiqing respectively, and the first seat above was the exclusive property of the owner, so Xuanyin could only stand.

He stood and smiled: "Brother Wei, long time no see." ”

Seeing him standing, Xu Buxuan hurriedly motioned for the maid to move another chair, and was shocked by what Xuanyin had just said.

Si Kouwei is Si Kouli's eldest brother and the heir of the Si Kou family.

Zhao Xiangling listened to Xuanyin's words and chuckled twice.

As an enemy, Xuanyin actually stood on Li Ruiqing's side and accompanied him to deceive Xu Buxuan.

But she was already not surprised by his behavior. Xuanyin gave her too many surprises, and she had no sense of perception.

Li Ruiqing was only slightly surprised, and it was fleeting.

Although he didn't know what medicine was sold in Xuanyin's gourd, he still followed his words and said, "Long time no see, Yu Xuanyin." ”

As early as before he came, Li Ruiqing had already found out the identity and name of Xuanyin in the house.

However, Xuanyin only told Xu Buxuan two words: 'Xuanyin'. Now Li Ruiqing has added the word 'Yu' to him, and the meaning is very different.

Sure enough, Xu Buxuan glanced at Xuanyin more, and the meaning was not clear.

The surname Yu is a big surname, and all of them have a source to be found, and the name Yu Xuanyin can't be taken casually.

For example, Xu Buxuan's wife Yu Sixia is surnamed Yu, and she is the eldest daughter of the Ministry of Works, with a noble status and a good family.

Xuanyin just smiled lightly: "Brother Wei is making fun of me again, Yu Xuanyin can be the same as Yu Xuanyin?" Don't joke about it anymore. ”

Li Ruiqing hooked his lips, but did not say no, nor did he say yes.

In Xu Buxuan's eyes, this can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence. He smiled: "I just said, I also know a little bit about this Yu family, and there has never been a 'Xuan' character, where did the Xuanyin come from?" ”

Xuanyin smiled, and there was a gloom in his eyes.

Zhao Xiangling knew the reason. Where can the concubines who are outcast be ranked as seniors? Not to mention the generation, in the future, even on the ancestral tablet, Xuanyin's name will not be engraved.

Xu Buxuan said again: "Si Kou's eldest son, why didn't the second prince come out?" He wrote to me some time ago that he would arrive soon. ”

Obviously, he did not fully believe in Li Ruiqing's identity.

Yu Deze's most powerful subordinate, how can he be a rabbit?

Li Ruiqing said with a smile: "The reason why I came is because my father has already punished him. Taking such a big list without knowing his family is too arrogant, and it makes Master Xu laugh. ”

Xu Buxuan's face changed slightly. 100,000 soft leather is really a big business, and there are not many people who dare to take this business.

Because although the role of soft leather is extensive, there are many things that can be done with such a large number.

If it weren't for the fact that Si Koli was naïve and thought that things were always one step less, he might not dare to hand over this matter to him.

But now a Si Kou Wei has been inserted......

Xu Buxuan's face changed several times, and he calmed down in just a few breaths.

He said with a smile: "Where, where, I caused trouble to Brother Ling." ”

Li Ruiqing smiled: "So, what are you going to do with this 100,000 soft skin?" ”

Xu Buxuan was embarrassed. He found that every word of this Grand Duke was to the point.

What is it used for? Used to make armor. But does Xu Buxuan dare to say that?

Of course he didn't dare, this is a great sin of rebellion.

Before Xu Buxuan could think of the wording, the hall suddenly chuckled, and his tone was very brisk: "What can I do?" Making clothes, of course. It's strange that you're asking such a mindless question. ”

Zhao Xiangling folded his legs and looked at Li Ruiqing without sitting on his face, with a smile on his face.

Her smile made Li Ruiqing's face feel unsoothed. He said, "100,000 soft skins, about enough for the clothes of an army." ”

This time, Xu Buxuan's cold sweat flowed down his back.

Zhao Xiangling still smiled: "What about the army, Jiangnan weaving is all the emperor's, is it possible to buy it for the emperor, it won't be?" ”

Li Ruiqing was serious: "Girl, if the emperor wants to be soft, he can use legitimate means to collect it all over the country, why do you want to find a small household like us?" ”

He turned his face sideways, loosening the expression on his face slightly.

It was so hard to hold back the smile, and his face was a little stiff.

"The emperor may just be unwilling to mobilize the people." Zhao Xiangling is used to it.

After all, every morning morning, she couldn't have controlled her emotions better.

Li Ruiqing continued: "Childish. Which emperor has you ever seen who was afraid of trouble? ”

In particular, Zhao Xiangling is the most fearless example of trouble. In order to eat something, I can make myself run all over the city. For a string of sugar gourds, you can run from the capital to the south of the Yangtze River.

Zhao Xiangling still wanted to refute, but Xu Buxuan, who had thought of the wording, finally spoke.

He said slowly: "This matter is not a long story to talk about. ”

Zhao Xiangling smiled and turned his head to hear what reason he had to convince himself and Ruiqing.

"You don't know, there have been disputes between the Bright Kingdom and our Southern Dynasty for a long time, and the reason why Your Majesty privately asked the weaving workshop to order this batch of soft leather is actually to prepare for the war with the Bright Kingdom in the future."

"I see." Zhao Xiangling smiled.

It turned out that Xu Buxuan didn't know the news that Nanguo had opened a tribute exchange market with the Hui Kingdom. I think Yu Deze hasn't had time to tell him yet.

"That's exactly what happened." Li Ruiqing suddenly pretended to believe his words, "Then is there a decree from His Majesty?" ”

Xu Buxuan looked at him and sneered: "How can Your Majesty's edict be able to make people pass the purpose at will?" ”

"It's me who trespasses." Li Ruiqing's face remained unchanged and replied.

Seize the opportunity, how could Xu Buxuan let it go? He raised his voice, "Who are you?" Since he is the eldest prince of Sikou, why is there no attendant by his side, and he prevents the prince of Sikou from coming here? ”
