Xiao Yue continued to ask: "Do you understand?" Xiao Yue was worried that good things would do bad things, she had nothing to do with the Li family, if the emperor knew that she instructed them to deal with this salt-iron joint venture, it was hard to guarantee that she would not suspect that she and the Li family, colluding with the inside and outside and profiting from it. At that time, I will be hard to distinguish.

These words made the Li father and son feel more and more serious, and they had to nod.

Xiao Yue smiled with satisfaction and said: "Today is eighteen, the day after tomorrow is the day when you face the saint, no matter what the emperor says to you, you must calm down, don't panic, don't worry, and don't get angry." ”

Li Chongshan was suspicious, "Did Gongzi Wen know what the emperor would tell us?"

Xiao Yue shook her head, "I don't know exactly what the emperor wants to tell you, but I can still guess one or two, as long as you obey the emperor, no matter what he says, you just need to nod and agree, and the rest doesn't matter." ”

Li Chongshan then asked, "Does that son have any other instructions?"

Xiao Yue thought for a while and said: "After meeting the saint, no matter who invites you to meet, you must refuse, declare to the outside world that you have returned to Jinyang, and then stay at the Fengyi Inn, I will take the time to see you, and when the time comes, I will act depending on the opportunity." ”

Li Chongshan looked at the weak and pale noble son in front of him again, and felt more and more that he was hiding it, so he asked tentatively, "Master Wen, since this matter is very important, you can think about it again." ”

Xiao Yue sneered, "If it weren't for the importance of this matter, I wouldn't bother to bother with this idle matter, to be honest, your Li family and I didn't have a friendship before, you were a blind cat who hit a dead mouse today, and found me to help, and I did my best, if you still don't believe me, then please, we haven't seen it today, and it will have nothing to do with it in the future." After speaking, Xiao Yue picked up the teacup and was about to send off the guests.

Li Yaozu saw Xiao Yue's face was gloomy, and hurriedly came out to play a round, "Brother Wen, it's my father who is too worried, don't be angry, I know that you are a good person and will not harm our Li family, we will all listen to your arrangement, as long as we can let the Li family survive this catastrophe safely, I am willing to do anything." ”

Xiao Yue looked at Li Yaozu, who was anxious, sighed, and rubbed her temples with her hands, she had been lying down for so many days, and she had just encountered such a thing.

Yun Yan looked at Xiaoyue who was tired, and she said on the side: "Boss Li may not know yet, my son-in-law has been sick for several days, and it is not easy to get up to see you today, if you have nothing else to do, let my son-in-law go back to the room to rest." ”

Li Chongshan didn't expect that Xiaoyue was still sick, and said with some guilt: "Gongzi Wen, Li is really clumsy, I didn't see that Gongzi is still sick, and he gave Gongzi such a problem, it's really a big mistake, please don't be angry, our father and son will definitely act according to Gongzi's instructions, please rest assured." ”

Xiao Yue nodded weakly, "What I said must be remembered, there is a possibility of losing my head if this thing is not done well, I am a little tired after sitting for so long, so I will not accompany the two." She turned to Yun Yan and said, "Help me back to my room." ”

Xiaoyue left the stunned Li father and son, and went back to the room to rest by themselves.

That night, Xiaoyue asked Xu Chengchang to call Hua Niang to the house and interrogated him about the Li family and his son. From Hua Niang's mouth, she was sure that these two people were of the highest grade in character and morality, and the Li family style was strict, otherwise they would not have guarded the cornucopia of Yanjing. It hasn't changed hands for so many years.

Xiao Yue's smiling face appeared in front of her eyes, and she sighed secretly in her heart, hoping that she didn't help the wrong person.

Xiao Yue had something in her heart, and she couldn't lie down the next day no matter what, so she was thinking about how the emperor might deal with the salt merchant and the iron merchant in the study, and that night, Wen Youyou also came to see Xiao Yue.

Xiao Yue smiled and said, "For so many days, you haven't come to me, can you still deal with it?"

Wen Youyou looked at her sitting in the study, and said with some worry: "I'm not afraid that you are not well, I am worried that you will be tired." ”

Xiao Yue sighed and said, "I can't be idle if I have something, it's not early, so if you have something, just say it." ”

Wen Youyou looked at the study and asked curiously, "What about Xiaolan's sister-in-law and Xiaoqi?"

Xiao Yue took a sip of tea and said: "During the day, Xiaolan took Xiao Qi to go shopping, played for a day, was tired, and now I go to bed early." ”

Wen Youyou hung up her cloak, sat next to Xiaoyue, looked at her, and said, "You have lost a lot of weight due to this disease." ”

Xiao Yue thought about worrying about the fact that the Li father and son were going to see the emperor tomorrow, and said casually: "It's okay, Linglong will make me something delicious in a few days and make it back." You must have come today to talk about something, and I have something to discuss with you. ”

Wen Youyou sighed, he knew that only by discussing unrelated matters with Xiao Yue could the two coexist peacefully.

"The matter of the salt and iron franchise, the emperor is ready to do it. ”

Xiao Yue glanced at him, "Isn't it tomorrow?" Let's talk about what the emperor thinks. ”

Wen Youyu looked at her in surprise, "How do you know?"

Xiao Yue shook her head, "This is a long story, what is the emperor's plan?"

"The emperor thought about it for a few days, but he still felt that according to your plan, the joint venture would be in the franchise first, and this would not be in time to summon these businessmen to come to Yingjun to face the saint before the Spring Festival. ”

Xiao Yue lowered her head and thought about it, "There will be less resistance to advancing like this, but there will also be resistance, if someone is unwilling, where is the emperor's bottom line?"

Wen Youyou looked around, and then said in a low voice: "If you don't want to cooperate, you can directly franchise." ”

Xiao Yue smiled, "This yuan... The emperor is really determined, he can't do this by himself, has he found someone to help him do things?"

Wen Youyou looked at Xiao Yue with admiration, "You are really like a god, in fact, the emperor had the intention to let you help him do this." ”

Xiao Yue exploded when she heard this, she jumped up and said, "This emperor just doesn't want me to have a good time?"

Wen Youyu smiled, patted her on the shoulder and said, "What are you anxious about! ”

"Then you go on," but Xiao Yue still felt puzzled, and said angrily: "This stinky emperor knows how to calculate me, let me give him my life." ”

"I told the Emperor to dispel this thought. Wen Youyu said proudly.

Xiao Yue was overjoyed when she heard this, and asked, "Wen Youyou is amazing! How did you do it?"

was praised by Xiao Yue, Wen Youyou was also overjoyed, and said with a smile: "I told the emperor that you are not feeling well, and there is no way to help the emperor do things recently, in addition, you are not familiar with the salt and iron business, you are a layman, this matter is not trivial, and there is no room for mistakes, so it is more appropriate to find someone familiar to do." ”

After he finished speaking, he also glanced at Xiao Yue, and said very proudly: "I also came up with an idea that the emperor praised very much." ”
