Chapter 208: All Going
In the secret letter, Qin Shuhuang's performance at the Great Dynasty Meeting was said, and there was also a task secretly given to him by the fourth prince, King Ping, to envoy Beidi!
After reading the letter, he was thrown into the brazier by Luo Chu.
He raised his eyebrows, even Luo Chu didn't expect that Qin Shuhuang would propose trade at the Great Imperial Conference.
However, if you think about it, trading with Beidi at this time is indeed a good way to maintain a stable relationship between the two countries!
King Ping sent him to find out the details of the trade and help Qin Shuhuang if necessary.
But if he wanted to go, he had to find a way to get the regent to send him.
Just as he was about to plan, the scholar Bo Ying said at the door: "Sir, the little one has something to see." ”
Luo Chu said: "Come in." ”
Bo Ying opened the door and entered the room, "Sir, the prince sent you to the study in the front yard to discuss important matters." ”
"Got it, I'll go."
Bo Ying took Luo Chu a cyan satin cloak and followed him to the study in the front yard.
When Luo Chu arrived at the study in the front yard, there were already many people in the study, and almost all of the regent's henchmen were there.
Seeing that there was still an empty seat next to General Liu, Luo Chu walked over and sat down.
Qin Wei glanced at Luo Chu and continued: "This time the trade with Beidi must be stopped, Qin Shuhuang dares to block the way of this king, this king is a person who blocks and kills, and the Buddha blocks and kills the Buddha!" Qin Shuhuang's trip to Beidi, this king doesn't want to see her come back alive! ”
After Qin Wei finished speaking, he looked at the henchmen in the study.
After a moment, General Liu stood up and said, "Lord Wang, please hand over this matter to your subordinates, and your subordinates will not let the Lord down!" ”
"Good! I'll leave it to you! If it doesn't work, come and see you! ”
"Subordinates obey!"
After speaking, Qin Wei's eyes fell on Luo Chu, "Mr. Luo, Qin Shuhuang is going to Beidi on this trip, this king will arrange for you to monitor Qin Shuhuang in the envoy team, and report what Qin Shuhuang has done all the way to this king, if Qin Shuhuang can reach Beidi safely, don't let Qin Shuhuang see the Beidi Wolf King!" ”
Luo Chu listened to Qin Wei's words, his expression on his face did not change much, but he hesitated slightly in his heart, could it be that the regent had begun to doubt him? Otherwise, why did he arrange to go to Beidi at this time? It happened to be the task given to him by King Ping.
Although he was suspicious, Luo Chu quickly took over the task.
Either way, this is exactly what he is arranging for now.
If the regent starts to doubt him, he can't change anything else, but will expose himself more quickly.
"Yes." Luo Chu responded.
At the same time, Gu Hongchao received a letter from Xiao Shu.
Gu Hongchao's eyes were full of disbelief, and as a result, Xiao Shu's hands were a little trembling.
Xiao Shu said: "If Master Gu is willing, he can go to the No. 2 private room of Tianzi in the Wenyuan Teahouse in Xishi City in the afternoon two days." ”
Xiao Shu took an ordinary carriage to deliver the letter and left.
Gu Hongchao took the letter and went back to the study before opening it carefully.
There is not much content in the letter, but in the lower right corner, it is the private seal of the fourth prince, King Ping.
King Ping gave him a task, asking him to take people to secretly follow Qin Shuhuang's delegation to Beidi, and then secretly negotiate with the Beidi royal court to benefit King Ping! If he can hold half of the benefits of trade in his hands, and when he returns to Beijing, he will give Gu Hongchao a heavy reward.
Gu Hongchao was pleasantly surprised, he could only succeed and not fail this time!
After reading the letter, he put the letter in his arms, and quickly went to Bai Lingge's courtyard to explain family affairs to Bai Lingge.
Bai Lingge was in a depressed mood being tormented by Gu Fu's feed.
She never thought that it would be so difficult to be a family without money.
As soon as she opened her eyes every day, she was asked by the courts for silver to live.
Today, Mrs. Gu wants to make winter clothes in the main courtyard, and tomorrow Gu Hongfeng wants to spend silver, and then the Mid-Autumn Festival will be soon, and the house will spend silver for entertainment......
Just then the housekeeper Gu came to report that the hot pot restaurant she opened before was smashed! Business is not as good as the newly opened pot restaurant!
Bai Lingge is worried about the silver that has not been celebrated, since the hot pot restaurant is not profitable, then sell it at a low price, and exchange some silver to come back to deal with the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Since he became the head of the house, Bai Lingge's silver has not only not increased, but has become less and less!
I used to think that Gu Hongchao was good anywhere, and it was thousands of taels to buy her a set of jewelry, but now she has become Gu Hongchao's wife, Gu Hongchao not only didn't give her silver money, but also asked her to give Gu Hongchao silver money, and dared to love Gu Hongchao's silver before Gu Hongchao's silver was taken from Qin Shuhuang!
So when Gu Hongchao came back and said that he wanted to go to Beidi on the order of King Ping, if the thing was done, King Ping would have a heavy reward, and when the time came, Bai Lingge became relaxed.
Gu Hongchao went out to do things, and without spending the money on the house, the pressure on the Gu Mansion would be much less.
Bai Lingge strongly supported Gu Hongchao to take over the task of King Ping.
Gu Hongchao suddenly felt that Bai Lingge had become the confidant who knew him and understood him again.
Gu Hongchao promised Bai Lingge that as long as he succeeded this time, he would definitely make Bai Lingge the wife of the Decree when he came back!
The couple talked about getting together, and they actually messed around in the flower hall day and night.
Gu Hongchao came several times on purpose, wanting to let Bai Lingge conceive his own heir before he left, but unfortunately, Mrs. Gu had already rejected his idea.
After returning to the eldest princess's mansion, Qin Shuhuang asked Rui Miao to personally send wool and wool products to Liu Renci's mansion.
Under the guise of sending the Mid-Autumn Festival gift, Ruimiao brought a carriage of things to Liu's mansion.
The grandmother beside Mrs. Liu welcomed Ruimiao in, and Mrs. Liu personally received her.
Among the things Ruimiao brought were Suzhou-style mooncakes that Lord Liu and his wife liked to eat, a good dragon well, two fox fur cloaks, and dim sum made by the chef in the eldest princess's mansion.
It's mostly intimate and practical things.
In the end, Ruimiao ordered the wool and wool products to be moved.
Mrs. Liu personally inspected the blankets and carpets woven from wool, put the blanket on her lap and tried it for a while, and found that the wool blanket was not only soft and comfortable, but also extremely warm!
It is a good material to keep out the cold!
She touched the unprocessed wool and said, "Since this wool blanket has excellent ability to withstand the cold, why don't you try it as a clothes, shoes and socks?" ”
Ruimiao smiled beside her, "Since Madame has this idea, why don't you try it yourself?" Our Highness said that she had read it in a book in the Western Regions before, saying that there were old people in the Western Regions who made this wool into thread to weave cloth, and since the Hu people can do this, we will definitely be able to do it. Silk is woven from silk, and it is woven from silk into cloth, and if this wool can also be made into silk, can it also be woven into cloth? If there is cloth made of wool, then you can make all kinds of things, and now we can make everything from wool! ”
Mrs. Liu's eyes lit up, "What His Highness said makes sense, the old body will try it for himself today!" ”
After saying that, he left Ruimiao and handed it over to his personal grandmother for entertainment, and he immediately went to the weaving room with two maids who were proficient in weaving.
The personal grandmother smiled bitterly at Rui Miao embarrassedly, "I hope the girl will forgive me, Mrs. is so old, she doesn't care about anything when she does what she is interested in." ”
