Chapter 90: The Guest's Guest
Concubine De said: "The ancestors once bought several secret methods at a high price, and even in the name of the royal family, it didn't work. ”
Zhang Mengjie said: "Don't buy their skills to support their families, but give them a way to make money." ”
Concubine De said: "What is the way out?" ”
Zhang Mengjie said: "Who doesn't want to own the silk of the Jade Yarn Country, the imperial court came forward to negotiate with the cities and countries that the silk village of the Jade Yarn Country will sell silk in the cities and countries. ”
Concubine De said: "The silk of the Jade Yarn Country has already kept them busy, how can they want to go somewhere else." ”
Zhang Mengjie said: "That's because there are no big interests in front of them, who doesn't want to have gold and silver at home." There are always one or two people who are hungry for profit, and at that time they will naturally have to recruit helpers, and it is up to them whether this ancestral secret system can be kept. As long as someone tastes the sweetness, they will naturally have red eyes. ”
Concubine De said: "The imperial court has not received benefits except for helping businessmen get benefits!" Not to mention His Majesty, even the ministers of the DPRK and China will not agree. ”
Zhang Mengjie said: "The imperial court can extract commissions from the interests of merchants, of course, the imperial court can't be too greedy, it always has to come step by step, and the helpers recruited must all be from the Yusha country, except for miscellaneous work." If Concubine De thinks this method is feasible, Dragon City will cooperate. ”
Concubine De really didn't hear a trace of flattery in Zhang Mengjie's words, but who would believe it without any intention during this sensitive period: "I can't be the master of this matter." ”
Zhang Mengjie said: "This matter is not urgent, and now is not the time to discuss this matter." In the future, Concubine Kong De can discuss with the monarch of the Jade Yarn Country, and Longcheng is waiting for news at any time. ”
Concubine De couldn't help but glance at her casual and victorious words.
This mountain is really not ordinarily high, and the mountain road after the rain is not easy to walk, and the group walked for two hours to reach the top of the mountain.
After arriving at the top of the mountain, the city lord of Yuncheng came out to greet him in person.
On the surface, it was to welcome the two monarchs, and a clear-eyed person could see at a glance that the city lord of Yuncheng didn't take Long Tingxiao in his eyes at all, and he didn't even look at Long Tingxiao after taking a look, but when he saw Zhang Mengjie, he was amazed and lost his temper for a while.
Zhang Mengjie just smiled faintly, it is not once or twice that this skin has encountered such a situation, so she is a little immune.
Bronzed skin, dignified body, although the appearance is not as good as the young man and the bright moon prince in the royal family, it is not good, not the ordinary green forest barbarian in Zhang Mengjie's imagination, of course, Zhang Mengjie just objectively thinks that the appearance of the city lord of Yuncheng is like that, how can the city lord of Yuncheng be an ordinary person who can govern Yuncheng in such an orderly manner.
The city lord of Yuncheng quickly adjusted himself from the gaffe: "A few people who have come from afar have worked hard all the way, please inside!" ”
Long Tingxiao was not surprised by the indifference of the Yuncheng City Lord, but his obsession with Zhang Mengjie made him very unhappy, and subconsciously took her hand and followed behind the Yuncheng City Lord.
Zhang Mengjie just glanced at him strangely, and did not withdraw her hand except for being a little unnatural, which made Long Tingxiao feel much better.
Outside the living room, Zhang Mengjie heard someone talking, and when she went in, she saw two men and three women sitting there chatting happily, one of them was Dongfang Jue, and from the costumes, there were two people who should be the emperor Dongfang Rui and the empress Zhu Yanlian of Changyi City.
The jewels all over her body pulled down Zhu Yanlian, who had a good face and a jade appearance. Zhang Mengjie is sure that she is the queen of Changyi City, and another reason is that she is somewhat similar to Dongfang Jue.
The person sitting next to her was dressed plainly, with an obvious sickly face, and his haggard appearance made people feel a little pity. She should be about the same age as Murong Xue, if the two stand together, people will mistakenly think that they are mother and daughter, even if they are compared with Concubine De and Queen Changyi City, it seems to be more than ten years old. Zhang Mengjie knew that she was the old lady of Yuncheng.
Sitting below her was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, dressed in a pink Luo dress, whose natural beauty complemented the pink flush on her face.
"Brother Jade is here!" Seeing them come in, Dongfang Rui immediately got up and said.
"Brother Dongfang, it's been a long time!" Yu Xiuwen said.
"We haven't seen each other since Brother Yu went to Changyi City to see him. If it weren't for this natural disaster, I don't know if we would have had a chance to see each other again. Dongfang Rui pulled Yu Xiuwen and sat down with him.
Then he deliberately said to the city lord of Yuncheng: "City Lord Xiao, don't you mind?" ”
The city lord of Yuncheng said: "You are free. ”
The city lord of Yuncheng and the royal family of Changyi City were so harmonious, which surprised Yu Xiuwen, and Long Tingxiao, who knew the reason, didn't mind at all, and sat down at the end with Zhang Mengjie and Mingyue Gongzi.
Dongfang Jue's expression was a little unnatural when he saw that Mingyue Gongzi and Long Tingxiao came together, and he understood a lot of things and walked in front of him, but his eyes were aimed at Zhang Mengjie and said: "I didn't expect to meet Mingyue Gongzi here, Mingyue Gongzi still likes to be in a place where no one notices." ”
Dongfang Jue's words drew everyone's attention to this unnoticeable place. Yu Xiuwen doubted his identity when he was on the road, but he couldn't find a suitable opportunity to ask. The eyes of the city lord of Yuncheng also lit up significantly.
Zhang Mengjie said: "We were able to meet the Prince of Mingyue thanks to the help of the Oriental Prince. ”
Except for those who knew that Zhang Mengjie had been taken captive by Dongfang Jue, they didn't understand what Zhang Mengjie meant.
Dongfang Rui even had the intention of dominating the guests, and walked to Dongfang Jue's side and said: "Could it be that the prince of Mingyue saw Jue'er before, why didn't he say hello?" ”
Mingyue Gongzi said: "Mingyue wants to say hello to the prince of the East, but I am afraid that the prince of the east may not want to greet the prince of the east at that time." ”
Except for a few people who heard something unusual, the few people included Dongfang Rui: "Presumably Jue'er has something, I knew that Mingyue Gongzi would come to Yuncheng, and we will wait for Mingyue Gongzi on the road." Prince Mingyue doesn't have to sit here aggrieved, but it doesn't hurt that I can ask Lord Xiao for personal favors. ”
Mingyue Gongzi said: "Mingyue and the Eastern Prince met the Emperor of Longcheng after they missed, and we can be regarded as old at first sight, Mingyue has promised the emperor to go to Mincheng with him to see the people suffering there." Mingyue is a guest here, and the guest is not aggrieved. ”
As he spoke, he picked up the teacup and drank the tea leisurely, which made the father and son even more embarrassed.
Just then, someone came to announce that dinner was ready.
The city lord of Yuncheng came to the dining hall with a group of people, after the city lord of Yuncheng and the old lady sat down on the main seat, the girl sat down under the old lady, Dongfang Rui and Zhu Yanlian did not see anything outside, and sat down at the bottom of the city lord of Yuncheng.
Long Tingxiao also sat down at the end, and Zhang Mengjie and Mingyue Gongzi sat down in turn.
The city lord of Yuncheng said: "Dragon City is the first in all cities and countries, is the emperor of Dragon City outside?" ”
Long Tingxiao said: "In Dragon City, Long Tingxiao is the lord of a city, and in Yuncheng Xiao, the lord of Xiao City is." ”
This made Dongfang Rui and Zhu Yanlian's faces a little unbearable.
