In the evening, Du Wei asked Madea to set up a small banquet hall and let the kitchen prepare some jīng dishes. Very early in the dining room, waiting for the arrival of the Marquise.

When the servant pushed open the door and ushered Mrs. Liszt in, Du Wei couldn't help but dazzle for a moment when he looked at the woman who came in.

Madame Liszt had an elegant smile on her face, and a set of red evening gowns on her body set off her whole person like a delicate and blooming rose. The well-cut style fully reveals her slender waist, and her elegant demeanor, coupled with a girl's face, seems to combine innocence and maturity, these two completely different charms, complex and perfect on her body. With such a devil's figure, coupled with a perfect face, and that charming demeanor, Du Wei instantly lost his mind.

In the middle of her eyes, Madame Liszt looked at Du Wei and smiled, her body was full of salutes, and she said softly: "Lord Duke, am I late?"

Du Wei coughed lightly, stood up, pulled out a chair for her personally, and said with a smile: "No, no." It's just that I saw Madame's charming demeanor just now, and I lost my temper for a while. ”

Madame Liszt glanced at Du Wei faintly, her eyes were full of heart-warming resentment, and she said in a low voice: "I'm afraid that the Duke is insincere, I have been in the northwest for so long, and it is the first time that you have invited me to dinner alone." ”

Du Wei turned his head sideways, pretended to take the wine bottle on the table, avoided Madame Liszt's eyes, and then waved all the waiters in the room out.

Wait for the door to be closed. Du Wei had already calmly stood beside Madame Liszt, poured her a glass of wine with his own hands, and then said with a smile: "Madame, this is blaming me for neglecting your distinguished guests again." Spread the word, if the nobles of Dìdū know that I dare to snub the first beauty of our Roland Empire, I am afraid that I will be drowned by the people's spit. ”

Then Du Wei walked back to his seat and sat down, raised his wine glass and gestured to the distance: "I'll toast Mrs. first, just for my neglect of beauty, I apologize first." ”

Madame Liszt smiled, and the two raised their glasses in motion, and Du Wei drank them all in one gulp. Mrs. Liszt only gave a superficial taste.

Du Wei immediately poured himself a second glass of wine, and said with a smile: "What about this second glass." I wish my wife beauty and eternity, and my tulip family and Liszt family will be friends forever. ”

The Marquise chuckled. This second drink was a little bit more.

After two glasses, Du Wei poured the wine again, raised his glass and said, "The third glass, I am grateful to you...... Dardanelle, he told me......"

Before Du Wei could finish speaking, Madame Liszt interrupted him, and the beautiful woman gently covered her mouth and glanced at Du Wei with half disgust and half resentment. The eye waves are fascinating. The voice was even softer as if it was about to drip: "Duchess, you have it again and again." You can't be trying to get me drunk. ”

"Where!" Du Wei did not change his face, as if he was not intimidated by the other party's bright light: "The third cup is to express my gratitude to you, thank you for giving me a good idea." Well. You don't have to drink this cup, I'll just drink it myself. ”

After three glasses of wine in a row, Du Wei couldn't help but take a breath lightly, then put down the wine glass, looked at the marquise, and said: "Actually, in addition to gratitude, I also admire Madame's talent." If it weren't for your idea, I don't know how long I'd have had a headache. ”

The Marquise pursed her lips and smiled, and then said lightly: "The Duke is so smart, what can be difficult for you?" I'm afraid that I have come up with an idea and laughed generously." I just hope you don't blame me for being too talkative. I myself understand how much knowledge I can have as a woman's land, so it is not easy to say it directly, so I can only ask Lord Dardanelle to do it for me. ”

"Madame's heart, I am deeply moved. Du Wei said solemnly.

The Marquise suddenly stared at Du Wei with a pair of eyes, the eyes were flowing, hazy, and quite meaningful, which made Du Wei feel a little unbearable, but this time before he could jump away from the topic, the Marquise had already smiled first, and said, "I want to come to the Duke to invite me to dinner tonight, just for this matter." If it weren't for that, wouldn't you be ignoring me?"

Du Wei coughed, smiled, and was about to speak......

"Yes, Lord Duke. Mrs. Liszt thought sideways—and had to admit that her movement was so charming that it took a great deal of perseverance on his part to look away. "Lord Duke...... If you want to say thank you, then you don't have to, if you really want to say thank you, then I want you to ask for something, I wonder if you can say yes?"

Du Wei's heart suddenly ...... It's not going to be another proposal, is it? Well, probably not.

"As long as I can. Du Wei sighed, but first said the words to death.

The Marquise chuckled, and glanced at Du Wei with a charming face, and there was a bit of playfulness in her eyes, as if she meant: I knew you would say that.

"Don't worry, it's not difficult for me to ask for land, you can definitely do it.

Du Wei was apprehensive in his heart, and suddenly regretted a little: I am so dignified, why do I find trouble to invite this woman to dinner? When it was really daytime, my brain was dizzy.

Staying alone with this woman can you feel the compelling beauty and heart-warming charm of the other party.

"As you know. My Liszt family is a family of merchants, although I ...... Well, although my life was miserable and my husband died early, His Majesty took pity on me and gave me the title of Marquise. But this is only a lifetime title, not a hereditary title. The Marquise whispered, "My Liszt family is not a noble lord, so I don't have my own territory. Before, I didn't like to be lively, and I wasn't tired of the headaches of dìdū, so I stayed at home in the north. Although my Liszt family has no territory, after all, there are still some roots in the north, in the north, there is a castle estate, in addition to two farms. Pingrì is just a cover-up, and the farm is also a place for the White Feather Knights to be stationed for military training. ”

Du Wei heard her suddenly talk about her family. I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. But in my heart I wondered.

“...... You know, Lord Duke. My Liszt family started out in maritime trade, but in recent years, the imperial fee has been reduced, and the South Seas have been on an expedition. It has not been carried out for several years. I look at the policy strategy of the prince of Chen, but I am afraid that he will deliberately reduce military spending, I am afraid that in the short term. The Empire will not use troops in the South Seas. This is above the South Seas. There is not much potential for the current trade profits, if there is no longer the support of the Imperial Expeditionary Force. I'm afraid that in the next few years, it will be even more unprofitable. This maritime trade. I'm determined to shrink away. At this, she paused slightly. He deliberately glanced at Du Wei again. Slowly pick up the wine glass. I took a half-sip. Her face, which was originally as white as jade, was steamed by the wine, and immediately seemed to be dyed with a layer of rouge, and her eyes were even more blurry and intoxicating.

I'm afraid that the so-called "smoky flattery" is like this.

Du Wei cleared his throat and said slowly: "Madame has such a decision. It's also impressive. The trade in the South Seas is huge, but Madame can look to the future. Know that if you see it, you will accept it. It's already beyond the reach of ordinary people. ”

The Marquise chuckled. Then he glanced at Du Wei again: "Lord Duke." Don't say the praise too early. I'm afraid you'll frown when I say the rest of the story. ”

Du Wei groaned for a moment. He took a sip from his glass: "Madame." There's something you just said I want to do...... Does it have anything to do with the family business you mentioned?"

"Exactly. Madame Liszt deliberately sighed faintly: "I am a woman. Although as the head of the house. Over the years. finally lived up to his father's entrustment. But the rìzi gradually came down. I was also very tired in my heart. My younger siblings are young, and I have been alone for all these years. But there are a few people who know the bitterness of my heart...... Alas. It's just that no matter what, I can't watch the Liszt family fall, and I can't bear to see the inheritance left by my father fall, so I can only do it step by step. ”

Du Wei didn't interject, he realized that what the other party said next was a play meat!

"Maritime trade rì cringe. I thought about it...... During this trip to the northwest, I saw that the province of Desa was rising under the governance of your place, and rì was gradually prospering. And the relationship with the steppe people, although there is still some tension, but within the end, it is still stable, and you sit in the border pass, and the entire land to the grassland trade has to be from the Desa province. There are plenty of business opportunities here. Well...... So, I thought about it for a long time before I made this decision, and I just hope that you can support it. ”

Du Wei's heart suddenly moved, and he vaguely guessed the lady's intentions, and couldn't help but blurt out: "Do you mean ......?"

"I'm going to move the Liszt family to the northwest!"

Hearing the marquise say this sentence in a serious tone, Du Wei couldn't help but be stunned.

The Marquise looked at Du Weidi's expression, and suddenly smiled: "Look, what I said is right, you really frowned when you heard it." ”

Du Wei couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, but fortunately, the Marquise didn't mean anything, smiled lightly, and continued: "There are many business opportunities here in the northwest in the next few years...... And, say a big disrespectful word. Even if the empire wants to use troops against the steppe in the future, the two provinces of Desanulin in the northwest are important places for war preparation, whether it is weapons and ordnance or grain and grass tents, these businesses are all involved in my Liszt family. It's better to plan early, put down roots here now, and take advantage of the opportunity in the future. ”

Du Wei pondered for a moment, and the reason was correct. However, Mrs. Liszt's request is probably not purely for some business!

"Lord Duke, you are the sole ruler of the province of Dessa, and since I have decided to move the family here, I will rely on your full support. ”

"This is natural. Du Wei agreed, and in this case, he couldn't refuse.

"Well, I believe in the Duke's land Chrysostom. It's just that there are some things that you still have to worry about. The Marquise thought for a moment and said with a smile: "I have a few small requests, and I hope you will grant them." ”

Du Wei sighed: "Please say it." ”

"First of all, I ask to set up a house in Loulan City to be used as the residence of the family, although my Liszt family is not too big, but the family members, plus the steward servants who are personally with the grooms, there are still three or five hundred people. Well, it's best to be close to the Duke's Palace, where the streets are wide and safe. Can I make a bid to buy land from the castle guard, the price? It's good at the official price. ”

"This is the second. Since my family has moved here. The White Feather Knights, the family land, are naturally also followers. Although the White Feather Knights are named five hundred. In fact, you and I both know that it is just a cover to avoid the laws of the Empire. Plus those knights - the servants. There were about 2,000 people in total. More than two thousand cavalry. You can't be stationed in the city...... And ...... "Speaking of which." Madame Liszt smiled slightly: "Since I am willing to join forces with Lord Duke." Naturally, you absolutely trust your lords. Once upon a time I was in the north. Naturally, some force is needed to protect oneself. But in the future, it will be entrusted to the Duke and the Knights of this family. There's no need to exist. Anyway. I think once something. Naturally, the Duke will give us a protectorate. So. I thought and thought. Two thousand Knights of the White Feather. You don't have to be stationed in the city. Ask the Duke to set up another battalion in the barracks outside the city. I'll let these white-feathered knights wear the Tulip Family armor from now on. Thirty or fifty people with me are enough. The rest. From now on, I will be at the mercy of the Duke. As for military spending...... In the future, the White Feather Knights will spend on the army. I, the Liszt family, still bear half of the burden every year. ”

"And a third...... I know that the Tulip Private Army, the ordnance, weapons, and armor under your command now, Lord Duke, were all purchased from the guy who was the Demon Beast in Teland Mountain. Although my Liszt family has not done as much in the arms business as the fat man, it is still small and large-scale. What about the future. Just when I took advantage of you. Later Tulip family in the ordnance business. Let us the Liszt family. I want to come to Teland Hill, that guy and I have a good relationship. I shouldn't resent me for stealing his business. As for the price. It's half a percent lower price than that fat man's land. ”

"There is a fourth ......"

The more Du Wei listened, the more frightened he became, and he couldn't help but have an expression on his face!

This one...... This woman!

Where is she begging me to do something? It's clearly a loss-making sale...... No, it's a big gift!!

This one by one. Although nominally the family moved to the province of Dessa, it can be to himself. It's money again (the arrival of such a business family will inevitably stimulate business business. Taxes skyrocketed), and it was a giveaway (a white-feathered knight gave it all to itself!). Finally, we also provide military ordnance weapons at a low price!!

Such a good thing, I am afraid that any local official or lord of the empire. As long as it's not an idiot. I will never refuse!!

This Liszt. It's so bold that you dare to stick the Liszt family and yourself together so decisively?!

"Ma'am. Before the Marquise could say the fourth, Du Wei had already waved his hand. looked at each other with a smile: "What are the conditions you said...... I think as long as you're not crazy, you can't ask for it. It's just that in this way, I am too much of an advantage. I feel a little uneasy. ”

"It's just business. Madame Liszt smiled slightly: "Although I seem to have paid a lot, I believe that the Duke is eloquent. I'm paying for it. It's just an investment. With your big tree, I think the Liszt family must take root in the northwest. The future will naturally pay off. ”

"In that case......" Du Wei muttered for a moment. said: "I can't accept it all, otherwise, I'm afraid that others will scold me for being too greedy." If the lady moves to the northwest with her family. Within a year. Businesses owned by the Liszt family are exempt from tax. Within three years. Half the tax revenue! After three years, only 80 percent will be collected!"

When these words were spoken, the Marquise's face darkened, and she looked at Du Wei fixedly for a while, and then sighed softly: "You...... You just don't want to accept my kindness, do you?"

Such a good night, the wine is present, the beauty sighs, Du Wei can't help but shake his heart, looking at Mrs. Liszt's face and resentful eyes, he couldn't help but take a sip of wine, only to say insincerely, diverted the topic and smiled: "Tonight's staple food, but I asked Madeh to specially invite the best cook in the city, and I will invite Mrs. to taste it later." ”

Mrs. Liszt's eyes remained unchanged, but she lowered her head. After a while, he raised his face, took the cup and drank it all, glanced at Du Wei again, and suddenly said, "I...... It's very stuffy here, Lord Duke, and you can walk with me in the garden. ”

How to set the right relationship with the Liszt family, just tonight, this beautiful royal sister, to marry or not? Well, Luo Li is what I do, and the royal sister is also what I do...... Let's see, since it's ambiguous, let's just play to the end!
