Mo Li stuck out his tongue: "You won't think I'm a loser, right?" ”

"How so." Murong Chu chuckled, "Li'er is doing a good deed, besides, this can be regarded as a favor for me." ”

Mo Li was puzzled, raised her eyebrows and looked over.

Murong Chu continued: "Now that I am in charge of the defense of Gyeonggi, if there is any change in the disaster victims, won't it be troublesome for me?" Tomorrow, although the shopkeeper will let the shopkeeper build the porridge shed, someone will follow him to build the porridge shed outside the city. ”

"Let's temporarily solve the problem of feeding the victims, and then we can make further resettlement." Murong Chu said, putting the teacup in his hand on the table, "Li'er, just leave these things to the people below, you don't have to do it yourself." ”

Mo Li added tea to his cup and said with a smile: "I know, today is just to go outside the city to see the situation, and I have explained everything to Shopkeeper Yu and Xu Minglang." I'm afraid I haven't had time to worry about these things lately. ”

"What are you going to do again?" Murong Chu frowned, having such an idle little daughter-in-law really gave him a little headache.

"Prepare the dowry!" Mo Li didn't have the shyness of ordinary women, but said generously, "Although my sister-in-law has been doing her best to help me take care of it, but after all, I want to get married, so I can't just ignore anything, right?" ”

When Murong Chu heard this, his brows suddenly relaxed, and the corners of his lips raised: "I finally remember that you are going to get married, how is the wedding dress prepared?" ”

"This ......," Mo Li said with some embarrassment, "you know, my needlework ...... It's going to ruin those few glowing brocades. However, Mama Li had already led people to prepare. Several of them have good craftsmanship, especially Mama Li, even the embroiderers in the embroidery workshop can't compare to her. ”

Mo Li also imagined that other girls embroidered wedding dresses by herself, but she didn't have that ability, if she really let her do it, I am afraid it would only ruin those good clothes.

Originally, the Duan clan had prepared several good cloud brocades before, and wanted Mo Li to choose one of his favorites among them. However, among the dowry gifts of the Bac Ninh Palace, there were a few big red pressed gold silk and light brocade.

This kind of brocade is not much different from cloud brocade on the surface, but it is made into clothes and worn on the body, and with the movement of people, the brocade will refract a colorful luster like the glow of the sun.

Xiaguang brocade is already scarce, and these horses are still embossed with pure gold threads, which are even more precious. The gold threads alone had to be woven into the brocade with a large amount of gold and many processes.

Mo Li naturally didn't understand this, but just thought that this fabric was beautiful. Duan told her that Xiaguang brocade was a tribute from the imperial court, and there were only a dozen or twenty horses a year. Needless to say, ordinary eunuchs, even princely homes may not be able to be found.

Murong Chu stretched out his finger and nodded on her forehead: "It's still self-aware." Those pieces of cloth are for you to make your wedding dress, and if they are destroyed, I really have nowhere to find them. Is there anything else I can help with? ”

Mo Li pursed her lips: "I bought a dowry, how can I let you help." Everything is almost ready, my mother left some good sandalwood, my brother said that it is just right to make a good set of furniture, and now the carpenter is in the house, it is estimated that it will be completed in another month. ”

"I knew that your house was doing things so fast, and the wedding date should have been brought forward, but unfortunately it's too late to change it now." Murong Chu smacked his tongue in remorse.

Mo Li looked at the sky speechlessly, it was only two months from the marriage to the wedding, which is almost a flash marriage, right? No matter how fast it is, I'm afraid I can only take a small bag and take my belongings to go to the Bac Ninh Royal Mansion by myself.

"By the way, there's one more thing I want to tell Li'er." Murong Chu pursed his lips, "The three princes of Beixiang came to the capital to discuss trade on the order of Emperor Beixiang, and they have already arrived in the capital. ”

"Commerce? That's a good thing. Mo Li's eyes lit up.

Murong Chu chuckled, the little girl's focus was always on making money: "Isn't Li'er not curious about the identity of the third prince of Beixiang at all?" ”

"What's there to be curious about, where is it that I have already arrived in the capital, it is clear that I have been living in the capital for a few months." Mo Li disagreed, "Isn't that Nan Xiuyu?" I'm afraid that the identity of the Nan brothers and sisters has already been investigated! ”

Murong Chu nodded, he was not surprised by Mo Li's words, although this little girl was usually a little confused, she was definitely smart and transparent when she encountered problems.

"He is indeed Nangong Xiuyu, the third prince of Beixiang. This person has never been in Beixiang Capital, and there are very few people who know about him. It is said that it was he who suggested to Emperor Beixiang that trade with our Great Zhou should be carried out this time. ”

Mo Li thought for a while and said, "If Beixiang is sincere in trading with the Great Zhou, it can be said that this third prince is a smart person. ”

Murong Chu raised his eyebrows, looking deaf.

Mo Li continued: "Beixiang is located in a bitter cold land, although the land area is not small, but it is mostly barren land, not to mention that the resources are not compared with the Great Zhou, even compared to the surrounding small countries, it is also extremely scarce. Presumably, this is also the reason why Hokugo keeps provoking wars and intends to expand southward, right? ”

Seeing that Murong Chu nodded in agreement, Mo Li said again: "The defeat of Beixiang back then must have hurt his vitality, and at the same time, he also understood that it was not easy to invade Da Zhou. Unlike other small countries, Hokgo is not in dire need of expansion, and for them, its natural resources are more attractive. ”

"Since this problem cannot be solved by war, it is necessary to avoid another way. Therefore, instead of fighting at the expense of the people and money, it is better for everyone to sit down and talk about business in a friendly manner. Besides, Beixiang is not without things that cannot be used, and their leather, medicinal herbs, etc. are also rare in the Great Zhou. If the two countries can really do business, it will be beneficial to both sides. ”

Mo Li frowned slightly and asked, "I just don't know if the emperor is interested in this matter?" ”

"This ...... It's not clear, but Song Baiwu is quite admiring it. Murong Chu said.

Speaking of Song Baiwulai, Mo Li smiled: "Although Song scholars are outstanding, they do not have the sour and rotten atmosphere of ordinary literati, but they are very interesting." ”

"I heard that Li'er and Song Baiwu had a very happy conversation that day?" Murong Chu stared at her and snorted coldly, "I don't know what you little girl has to talk about with an old man." ”

Mo Li leaned over to him and said with a smile: "Achu, discuss something!" ”

This soft "Ah Chu" made Murong Chu's heart tingle, and his lips unconsciously raised: "What does Li'er want?" ”

"Shouldn't we buy some real estate and shops at the border?"

I thought that the little girl's sudden tenderness and sweetness was because she saw his displeasure, but who thought casually but wanted to buy an industry at the border.

Murong Chu's face sank: "What are you thinking again?" ”
