The eldest prince stared straight at the house deed and couldn't help but sigh: "Master Gu, this gift is too precious, how can I afford it?"
Gu Zhili twisted his beard and smiled and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, this is just a small gift to express your feelings. If Your Highness has other needs in the future, it's okay to just talk to me!" ◥...▃▂
The eldest prince put down the house deed and asked sternly: "As the saying goes, no reward will be given without merit! Mr. Gu has been waiting for a long time today and presented such a great gift. I think he must have something to ask for."
Gu Zhili smiled, pretending to be confused and said: "Your Highness, you are too worried! I just have good intentions."
The corners of the eldest prince's mouth twitched slightly, and he said with a stern face: "Master Gu, let me be honest and honest, although I am a prince, I have no real power in my hands. I have no weight with my father, and my mother keeps a close eye on me. If you really want to ask for something,
Then I can’t accept your gift! You’d better ask for it back.”
Gu Zhili didn't take it seriously, but he chuckled and said, "Your Highness, I'm just here to visit you today and care about Your Highness. I have no other intention! I just ask that Your Highness remember my thoughts in the future."
The eldest prince stared at the house deed closely, chewing on his words over and over again, and then said: "Since Mr. Gu has said this, if I refuse any more, it will seem out of touch, so I will accept it."
Gu Zhili raised the corners of his lips and bowed to him: "Your Highness, there is no need to worry. I come sincerely today and have no other thoughts! However, your Highness will be of use to me in the future, and I will definitely accept it!"
The eldest prince picked up the tea cup, drank the tea slowly, nodded, but said nothing.
Gu Zhili recognized his interest and bowed to him: "It's getting late today, please excuse me for interrupting me! The new mansion is fully equipped with thousands of servants at your disposal. Your Highness can move there at any time!"
The eldest prince put down his teacup and returned the favor: "Thank you for your trouble, sir!"
Gu Zhili smiled, turned around and walked out.
The eldest prince looked at the house deed in his hand, feeling both happy and a little uneasy:
Fortunately, just now he was suffering from the lack of his own party members, so this Gu Zhili came to his doorstep.
What makes him uneasy is that for so many years, he has always been controlled by the Queen and Liu Bingwen, and he is not sure about such a sudden happy event.
Presumably, when the queen finds out about this, she will completely fall out with her. Then, she will have to cross the river by feeling the stones on her own!
But no matter what, he is determined to grow up quickly! So that he can completely get rid of the fate of being controlled by others!
——New crisis——
The Zhuang Tower was bathed in the noon sun, and the white snow fell quietly in the courtyard. After the wind blew, the snowflakes fluttered in the air.
The caravan will send the last batch of goods out of the capital before the end of the year and send them to semicolonies in various places.
Toto was taking inventory in the courtyard with his brothers.
The courtyard was busy with people coming and going, and it was peaceful and harmonious, as if it had been cut off from the mortal world by this cunning and cunning Shengjing City.
Looking at the goods piled up all over the courtyard, Lu Ning frowned: "The goods requested by each branch this year seem to be much less than in previous years."
Military Advisor Murong twisted his beard and sighed: "Last time, Qinglong Escort Bureau, Baihu Trading Company and Zhuque Bank did not get any advantage from us, so they formed a group to suppress the caravan with all their strength. They learned about our business operations from our old customers.
So Zhuque Bank paid for a large amount of goods, and Baihu Trading Company negotiated with suppliers from various places, and obtained more and better goods with a higher advance payment, which were then exclusively transported by Qinglong Escort Bureau.
During the time you left Shengjing, they already had a place in Shengjing. You also know that if they can get some seasonal fresh goods earlier and send them to the capital, they can sell them at a higher price.
There are also some well-known silk and satin houses and wineries in Jiangnan that have obtained exclusive distribution rights!"
Lu Ning frowned slightly and said in a cold voice: "The caravan tree attracts the wind. I'm afraid they have been jealous for a long time and have been planning for so many years. They just took advantage of the caravan to change its leader and the people in the caravan were distracted so that they could seize the opportunity and gain a firm foothold.
!」
Military Advisor Murong snorted: "What if it's fair competition! They first used despicable means to discredit the caravan in the world, and took the opportunity to take away our customers. Not only did they know our business model, they also took the opportunity to seize our supplies.
Shang is really hateful!"
Lu Ning was anxious in his heart, but in front of his brothers, he could only pretend to be calm: "It doesn't matter, I'll take a look at their store in a few days and then we can come up with a plan."
"Young Gang Leader!" While the two were talking, Gao Yao hurried over and said with cupped hands: "The Gu family and his son are here to visit, I asked them to wait in the hall!"
Hearing their names, Lu Ning suddenly had a look of disgust on his face: "They are really well-informed! As soon as I returned to Shengjing, they came over immediately!"
Military Advisor Murong reminded: "It seems that last time you escaped from marriage and broke their dream of flattery, so they are here to win over you again this time! Otherwise, I will send them away!"
"No need!" Lu Ning frowned and said angrily, "I want to hear what other nonsense they are talking about!" After that, he turned and walked towards the hall.
As soon as Lu Ning walked in the door, he saw beautifully wrapped gifts piled everywhere.
She was slightly startled, but before she could speak, Gu Jiyun strode up to meet her and greeted her: "Cousin, I heard that you have returned to the capital! We came here especially to see you."
Lu Ning raised his finger and pointed at the chair, and said calmly: "If you two adults have anything to do, you'd better sit down and talk!"
After that, she walked to the main seat in the middle, waved her sleeves and sat down.
Lu Ning glanced at the gifts on the ground and said straight to the point: "It's not a year or a holiday for me to come here to give you a gift. You must be asking for something, right?"
She really didn't like the father and son, and was too lazy to talk to them.
Father and son seemed to be used to Lu Ning's direct dealings and did not feel dissatisfied.
Gu Zhili stared at her with kind eyes and said with a smile: "Since you left without saying goodbye last time, I have been thinking about you very much. When I learned that you were back, I came over to see you! I know that you are not lacking in anything, but the Chinese New Year is almost here, so I
From the gifts given by the emperor, I selected some that you might like."
Lu Ning raised the corners of his lips and smiled coldly: Sure enough, the two of them came here because of the incident where he escaped from marriage last time.
She said nonchalantly: "My marriage to King Yi has fallen through. You must be very disappointed. However, I have offended His Highness because of this matter. What you hope for is impossible. If you want to persuade me again, you should do it again."
Save it."
The Gu father and son looked at each other.
Gu Jiyun quickly said warmly: "Cousin, you misunderstood. We heard about what happened to you in Lingzhou, so we were very worried about you, so we wanted to come over and see you. We had no other intentions."
Hearing this, Lu Ning tilted his head and looked at him suspiciously, still full of suspicion.
Gu Zhili took over the conversation and said: "Hey, I have been thinking about it during the time you left. It is true that I was wrong. You have been growing up in the grass and are used to being free. You are not like the ordinary young lady from a wealthy family who grew up in
In purdah. Therefore, I really shouldn’t make too many demands on you.”
Gu Zhili's heartfelt words made Lu Ning slightly shocked: "Master Gu, what do you mean by this...?"
Gu Jiyun also said kindly: "Cousin, you don't have to worry! You left without saying goodbye last time. Although everyone was very angry at first. But then we thought about it and found that you must have your own reasons for leaving without saying goodbye.
Later, when we heard about what happened to you in Lingzhou, we felt even more worried about you and no longer blamed you! Not only that, even His Highness King Yi never really blamed you!"
The sudden change in attitude of the Gu family and his son caught Lu Ning a little off guard.
She picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea slowly while thinking hard, why did these two people suddenly change their gender? Is there a back-up plan?
She remained calm and decided to listen further.
Unexpectedly, Gu and his son stood up slowly and said politely to her: "When we came here, we saw you busy in the yard. Since we also saw you and brought things over, we don't
Sorry to bother you!"
Lu Ning was surprised to see that they didn't get entangled today.
She also stood up and asked again in disbelief: "Do you really have nothing else to do?"
Gu Zhili came over, patted her shoulder, and said with a smile: "I know you have been angry with me. It was my fault in the past. I hope I can have the opportunity to make up for it in the future. If you have time, you can go to my house to see me."
With that said, Gu Jiyun helped Gu Zhili and walked out the door. Lu Ning also followed the two of them and sent them outside.
Su Bing brought the carriage for the two of them. Lu Ning watched the two of them board the carriage and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Before leaving, Gu Zhili looked at Lu Ning and said meaningfully: "Although no one blamed you, His Royal Highness King Yi was really shocked. After you left, he hid in a monastery on the mountain and retreated. If it hadn't been for the emperor's trouble later,
If you ask him to come back, he might still be locked up in the monastery. You should apologize to him properly!"
After hearing what happened to King Yi, Lu Ning was finally moved. She nodded and said softly: "I understand."
After that, he watched the two of them leave, then turned around and walked back to the yard.
Seeing Lu Ning coming back with a heavy look on his face, Military Master Murong's heart sank and he hurriedly greeted him: "What's wrong? But the Gu family and his son are pestering you again?"
Lu Ning raised his eyes to look at Military Advisor Murong and said thoughtfully: "This father and son are a bit unexpected today. Not only did they not pester me, but they also took the initiative to care about me. I am really confused!"
Military Advisor Murong twisted his beard and muttered: "This is indeed unexpected!"
Lu Ning asked hesitantly: "Master, do you think they have really changed their gender, or do you think they still have some tricks up their sleeves?"
Military Advisor Murong thought for a while and said: "I don't believe that such a greedy person can change his gender! However, some time ago, Gu Zhili not only entered the pavilion, but also attached himself to Wang Su. I guess he doesn't need to use you to attach to Yi anymore.
His Majesty the King."
Lu Ning suddenly nodded: "I see, I really think highly of them!"
Military Advisor Murong patted her on the shoulder and advised: "No matter what, as long as you stay alert to them, you won't be taken advantage of by them!"
Lu Ning bit her lip, pondered for a moment, and asked hesitantly: "Master, just now they said... His Highness hid in the temple for a long time after I left, but is it true?"
Military Advisor Murong smiled faintly and sighed: "That's true. Your Highness has indeed been hiding for a long time. I heard that even Yan Rong and Tie Lin are not easy to see."
Hearing this, Lu Ning felt suffocated.
In fact, for so long, she knew that she had done something wrong and hurt many people. Therefore, she always felt guilty and did not dare to think or ask.
To this day, when she heard Gu Zhili mention that incident, everything came out like a flood, and she knew she could no longer escape.
"Master, what happened after I left?" Lu Ning finally asked.
Military Advisor Murong sighed and said eloquently: "On the wedding day, after the newlyweds entered the bridal chamber, we were having a great time drinking. But unexpectedly, King Yi suddenly walked out of the door angrily and announced loudly that everything did not count! After that,
Then he got on his horse and left. Just when we were confused, we saw Hua Fangyi walking out of the bridal chamber with tears streaming down her face. After we asked several times, she told everything about you asking her to marry you."
