Chapter 34: Impurity of Purpose?
It doesn't matter.
"Your Royal Highness, Datong (note: this is Datong, and just now from Datong is not the same family, behind Datong is Confucianism, and behind Datong is the family is supporting) Fu Xueyi, the treasurer of the Lingnan Branch of the Chamber of Commerce, asked to see, he also brought a large number of materials, and the purpose should be the same as Wu Fucheng."
Seeing Wu Fucheng away, Li Zhen was just about to rest for a while, when Xiao Fuzi came in again.
"Really, why are you still standing in line?
Do you have to be tired to death before I am willing?
Li Zhen wondered, didn't she know that she had been tired for a day?
I didn't even drink saliva when I came back, really.
"Your Highness, do you want the slave to let them wait for a while?"
Seeing that Li Zhen was really tired, Xiao Fuzi was also distressed in his heart, and suggested in a low voice: "Anyway, they have been waiting for His Highness in Yuezhou City for two days, and if they want to wait for a few more hours, they won't say anything." ” "Forget it, everyone is here, just let him in."
Li Zhen shook her head and rejected Xiao Fuzi's proposal, this kind of thing is nothing if you do it from the beginning, but now that she has received a Wu Fucheng, if you delay time at this time, it will be unfair, and others will feel uncomfortable.
"Yes." really let Li Zhen say right, these people really seem to be coming in line, after the Chase Chamber of Commerce, the representatives of the other large chambers of commerce also asked to see Li Zhen one after another, so that for most of the next half of the day, Li Zhen still did not get a chance to breathe, until the last representative of the chamber of commerce was sent away, the sky was already dark, and Li Zhen could rest for a while.
"Your Highness, it's been a busy afternoon, let's drink some ginseng soup."
Wu Meiniang walked in with a bowl of ginseng soup, and seeing that Li Zhen was about to be paralyzed, she couldn't help but frown slightly: "These people are too much, knowing that Your Highness has just come back, and you haven't even breathed, it's really unforgivable to rush over and disturb." ” "No way, after all, people are also kind, and the things they gave me really helped me a lot."
Li Zhen poured down the ginseng soup in one bite, stretched her waist comfortably, and then came to a Ge You lying down very unimpressively, with her head just resting on the back of the chair, and Wu Meiniang automatically stood behind Li Zhen and massaged him to relieve fatigue.
"Your Highness, judging from the concubines, I'm afraid these people may not have any good intentions."
Wu Meiniang pondered and said her opinion: "As the saying goes, 'Nothing is courteous, either traitor or thief', these businessmen offer such a rich gift to His Royal Highness, and they don't ask for anything in return, I'm afraid the plan is not small." ” "It's okay, I know what they're thinking."
Li Zhen laughed softly: "They just want my ship, but they themselves understand that such a small amount of materials and food can only establish a little human relationship with me, and it can't completely touch my heart."
Next, only if they keep throwing themselves into it, slowly raising it, and increasing their weight in my heart, can we achieve the ultimate goal.
Therefore, in order to successfully buy a boat from me in the end, they will definitely do their best in the next relief to the victims, and there will be no slack in the slightest - I am afraid that even the imperial court itself will not be able to do this. ” "So, Your Highness, you have long seen that their purpose is not pure?"
Wu Meiniang was even more puzzled when she heard this: "In that case, why would Your Highness accept their kindness so easily?"
” Li Zhen smiled lightly: "I naturally saw it a long time ago, but so what?
With the participation of these merchants, the imperial court can save a considerable part of its energy and devote its energy to the rescue elsewhere, and the people can also be rescued in time - you don't care what the merchants have planned, at least the imperial court saves effort, and the people get benefits, isn't this enough?
Besides, even if these people have a different mind, so what?
People have invested their own things to help the victims, aren't they allowed to make a little reputation?
” Li Zhen smiled lightly, but shook her head in her heart, Wu Meiniang is still a woman after all, although she is full of courage, but after all, the pattern is too small.
And as a woman, she is congenitally deficient in strength, Li Zhen can be sure that if Wu Meiniang sits in her position and faces Wu Fucheng and these people, after learning about their plans, I am afraid that she will kick them out as soon as possible, right?
When Wu Meiniang heard this, she immediately felt that it was very reasonable, and said ashamedly: "Your Highness is far-sighted, and the concubine is far inferior." ” "Whew......
Laugh at......
Call......
Sneer......"
However, what answered Wu Meiniang was a long and suppressed snoring, Wu Meiniang's face was stunned, looking at Li Zhen, who had fallen into a deep sleep, a trace of distress flashed in her heart, her jade hand gently touched Li Zhen's cheek, and then she didn't know what she remembered, and suddenly laughed softly, thinking that she remembered some embarrassing things about Li Zhen.
"Ah......
Well!
This night, Li Zhen slept very comfortably, Meimei gave birth to a lazy waist, and was about to get up, Wu Meiniang walked in with washing tools.
"Your Highness, are you awake?"
Looking at Wu Meiniang's beautiful face, coupled with the fact that it was morning, Li Zhen was very ashamed of Shi Geng, and hurriedly pulled the blanket up, pretending to be inadvertent: "Well, I've worked hard for you, just let the next person do these things." ” Fortunately, Wu Meiniang was setting up the tools at this time, but she didn't see it, otherwise maybe something unspeakable would have happened.
"When people do things, how can they be careful with their concubines?"
After waiting for Li Zhen to finish washing, Wu Meiniang helped Li Zhen put on her clothes again: "Your Highness, where are you going today?"
” "I don't have to go out today, the previous report said that in addition to Panyu County, the loss of Yuezhou Wharf is even more severe, almost all the ships that did not enter the berth were damaged by the typhoon, and there is not a single ship on the entire river, and I may have to deal with the relevant compensation issues today."
With the help of Wu Meiniang, Li Zhen finally succeeded in putting on the clothes - in other words, this ancient costume is really not easy to wear, the ordinary regular clothes are a little better, two people should be able to spend two sticks of incense, if this is a formal dress, more than a dozen people need to serve on the side, and the time spent is calculated in hours, which is terrible.
No wonder there is an idiom of clothes to reach out, this sentence is really not to say that people are lazy, but it must be like this, in order to put on clothes.
Li Zhen did not think about carrying out a reform of clothes, and even he himself had already put it into action, but when he took out the so-called simple clothes (in fact, suits) he made, he was sprayed with dog blood by the old scholars in the court.
There are even more radical people who directly scold him for forgetting his ancestors, and even Li Shimin's ministers who are quite close to him on weekdays are opposed to this matter.
