"You little girl, you are really bold, more than ten days ago, I received a letter from Yuan Bai, saying that you have set off from Shu County to return to the court, but you have traveled lightly and simply, but you have walked for 20 days, but let me wait!"

Lu Weimang stood in the hall and said embarrassedly, "Your Majesty forgives me, Weichen was fascinated by the lake and mountains for a while, and the road was a little loose. ”

"Okay, I thought you would have to take a year and a half to be effective, but I didn't expect to complete the task ahead of schedule, or overachieve, in view of the sharp work you did on your errand, the road was delayed for a few days, and I won't pursue it."

Lu Weimang breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Majesty." ”

"What do you think about the caravan?"

Today, His Majesty was supposed to inquire about the policy of Shu in detail, Lu Weimang handed over the information in his hand, and the emperor asked Lu Weimang while looking at it.

"Your Majesty, the geographical location of Nashu is unique, the mountain roads are steep and difficult to travel, and in some places, only one horse can be accommodated to pass alone, so the minister suggested the establishment of a horse gang, one to increase the volume of goods, and to strengthen the management of retail merchants. Moreover, most of the people in the horse gang are from the countryside, and they have clans in the local area to help them, and they get twice the result with half the effort. ”

"Well, can't the goods transported by the caravan be transported out for sale? I heard that in the local area, the horse dealer only gave seventy or eighty horses, but when they were transported out of Shu County, they could be sold for one or two hundred taels. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister wrote in the information that the more prosperous Qionglai is, the more beneficial it will be to the development of the horse gang and the tax port, so attracting more speculative businessmen to Qionglai is also for the future development and prosperity of Qionglai. Moreover, the horses sold have been graded in advance, and the first-class special BMW will be directly sent to the nearest northern Xinjiang for cultivation, and the remaining horses will be traded. ”

…

While reading the information, the emperor asked Lu Weimang what he had doubts. This question and answer is clear at a glance whether there is real material, whether it is really doing things, or taking credit. This horse gang and pass, Lu Weimang participated in the whole process from making suggestions to forming and implementing, so he was not afraid of the emperor's inquiry.

More than an hour passed back and forth.

The emperor's face gradually softened, "Okay, let's get here today, and I will study it carefully, I heard that you want half of the state capitals in the country to trade in Qionglai activities, and then write an excerpt and hand it to me for a look." ”

"Whoa!"

"After getting down to business, let's talk about something else, don't be so restrained, sit down."

Lu Weimang went to the chair next to him and sat down.

"Before you left, I told you to change your office, do you remember?"

Lu Weimang hurriedly got up, and was waved by the emperor again, signaling to sit down, "At this time, our monarchs and ministers will talk, don't be restrained." ”

"Wechen is actually quite good in the household department."

"Okay, your temperament, I also heard what Yuan Bai and the queen said, but change the office, don't make a fuss. Anyway, the household department doesn't have your desk, so I'll let Xiaohuangmen lead you to a new office in a while. Yuan Bai Suri is in Beijing, and he works there, anyway, now that he is not in Beijing, it is better if you go there. It's inconvenient to be in the men's pile all day. ”

Lu Weimang looked at the emperor's face, and didn't dare to shirk it anymore, so she had to nod her head and say yes, of course she was willing to enjoy the office space alone, and look at the height of other people's eyebrows and eyes in the household all day long, but there was no big hindrance, it just affected her mood.

"Also, you and Yuan Bai have done a good job with General Qionglai, but the horse gang and the pass have been established, and everyone in the court and the central government will not see your merits for the time being, and I will give you a reward after the settlement at the end of the year. Right now, I'll give you a grace in advance, don't you want your brother to enter the national prison? After the New Year, let him go to Guozijian to report. The emperor's voice was faint, but Lu Weimang was happy when he heard it, and hurriedly got up to salute and thank him.

"Okay, you can go to the government on the first day after you come back from an errand today, and go down to rest. Supposedly, I should let you rest for a few days, but you have seen a lot of lakes and mountains along the way, so I won't give you leave. ”

Lu Weimang's face was bitter when he heard this, but he couldn't argue with the emperor about anything, so he had to bow down. When she saw the package in the hand of Xiao Huangmen, who came to pick her up, she patted her head, "Your Majesty, Weichen still has one more matter." ”

The Emperor looked up from the tall desk in front of him, "Oh? And when? ”

Lu Weimang hurriedly took the package that was handed over to Xiao Huangmen for temporary storage just now and brought it over, and raised his hands up, "Your Majesty, this is a special product brought by General Huo Weichen to His Majesty and Niangniang, as well as the three princes, and Weichen brought it to you today." ”

"Oh!" The emperor seemed to smile, "Yuan Bai asked you to send a special product for him?" ”

Lu Weimang stiffened, "Yes, the incident happened suddenly that day, and General Huo didn't have time to arrange it, so he asked his ministers to help run errands." ”

"Then you can't give it like this, what Yuan Bai entrusted to you, you have to complete it to the letter, and send it to me, isn't it lazy? The queen should finish handling the palace affairs at this time, come and bring Lu Weimang to the queen. ”

Seeing that the little yellow gate should be, Lu Weimang had no choice but to retreat and follow the little yellow gate to the harem.

Entering Fengyi Palace, the queen was very surprised when she heard Xiao Huangmen's announcement, her eyes looked at Lu Weimang, who was holding the package in front of her, and waved her hand to let the palace maid take the package down, "Yuan Bai is also out of sight, but he is tired of Miss Lu." ”

Lu Weimang hurriedly bowed down, saying that he didn't dare, "General Huo's military situation is urgent, and it's too late to arrange, Weichen just helps run errands, which is not tiring." Wechen just returned to the dynasty today, and there are still some things to do, so Wechen will leave first. ”

"What's the hurry? You just returned to the court today, and it is time to take a breath and slow down, presumably Your Majesty and Qin Hou will not say anything. Sit down, I have something to ask you. ”

Lu Weimang stiffened her legs, walked to the chair on the side and sat down, she really couldn't deal with the big leader, "Help!" Lu Weimang shouted in his heart.

"Yuan Bai only came back for a few days, and then left again, I originally expected him to come back this time, participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet, and see a few more young ladies from the family."

The queen's homely words, Lu Weimang didn't dare to answer, and he didn't dare not answer, he only stiffened his face and laughed, "General Huo, the pillar of the country, I can't wait." ”

"Why not? I heard that you are a little girl, followed Yuan Bai to Shu County, thousands of miles away, at that time the heat was in full swing, the weather was hot, ordinary men couldn't do it, but you did a bad job, these days I have heard Your Majesty praise you in private, you are angry, it is really not comparable to ordinary women in the house. ”

Lu Weimang arched his hand, "It's all appreciated by His Majesty, and only a woman with a micro-minister has the opportunity to display her ambitions." ”

"You're all tanned, go back in a while, take back this bottle of jade cream from the palace, and keep it for you for a month and it will recover."

"Xie Niangniang."

"Are you next year and Lu? Has your father found you a good candidate to preside over the ceremony? ”

Of course, Lu Weimang doesn't know if his father has found a good one, most likely he hasn't found a good one, and their family has always been in style, this is a good ceremony, Lu Weimang doesn't plan to invite anyone, just have a meal with his own family, so Lu Weimang said honestly, "Next year, I don't plan to make a big deal at home, just have a lively family together." ”

"What's that called?" The queen disagreed, and her voice was a little serious, "How important it is to be a woman and a courtesy, this is not only your own family's business, but also to tell everyone that you are an adult, you can be said to be a family matter." How? Do you still want to be ignored and be an old girl at home for a lifetime? ”

Lu Weimang blurted out, "It's best if no one cares, it's clean." ”

The queen frowned, "Don't talk nonsense, child, you still don't understand, find a chance another day, you have to talk to your father." ”

Lu Weimang scratched his head, "Weichen has also heard about some etiquette matters, it is too complicated, and there is no hostess in the Lu Mansion, and it is not easy to entertain guests?" The most important thing is that Wechen doesn't want to put himself in front of others and let others talk about it. ”

"Your heart is quite high, but there is no way to do it, isn't it necessary to carefully consider and consider everything in advance to find the most suitable one? For example, if your father and you are looking for a future husband, don't you also need a family background, character, and a good way to behave in the world? ”

Lu Weimang shook his head, "Weichen's heart is not high, just follow fate." And I don't want to weigh others, because I don't want people to weigh me. Don't do what you don't want, don't do it to others, don't look at Wei Chen's big grin, in fact, I'm very afraid of people's eyes. ”

That kind of looking look is like an ant crawling on the body, which is creepy. And weighing a person, she is not sure. The human heart is ethereal, how can it be weighed.

The queen waved her hand when she heard this, as if she was looking at her own little child, "Okay, I won't tell you this, you girl has a very hard mouth." When you meet your father at the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet, tell your father. ”

Lu Weimang was secretly proud in his heart, you told your father, and my father also listened to me.

"Alright, you can step back first. Since Yuanbai asked you to send specialties to the door, don't be lazy, after the ya, come to the door one by one, be respectful, you know? are all old friends of the Huo family. ”

What the queen said meant something, Lu Weimang's scalp was numb at this time, she thought that she could send someone to send someone to the door according to Huo Jing's note, but she didn't expect it to be a hot potato.

"Queen Mother, although Wechen has lived in Kyoto for four or five years, but in fact, in addition to being at home, he is going to Guozijian. Why don't we give you all the specialties brought by General Huo, and you can help transfer them..."

The more Lu Weimang spoke, the quieter she became, and then handed over the things she took to others, but she was really dizzy when she saw the note, and she had never been in contact with someone, just such a big and spicy door, how rough she had to be to stand it. For example, His Majesty and the Queen, the two most "send-off" families in Lu Weimang's heart, have been pulling for so long and saying so many words, so wouldn't every family and the host have to go out to be polite with her?

It's harder than killing her.

The queen saw Lu Weimang's bitter face, and snickered in her heart, this solid-eyed person is so funny.

"It's okay, after you disperse later, come to my Fengyi Palace, I'll show you a small yellow door, let him take you, keep every family and bring it to you!"

always felt that the look in the queen's eyes at this time was a little gloating, Lu Weimang glanced at the queen, and had to bow her head in response.
