Chapter 1284: Old Friends?
Xiao Guifei hinted to Yang Liu'er that if she could make her suffer a lot of losses and even become a laughing stock, it would be even better.
Yang Liu'er was originally a smart person, and she was secretly happy when she got Xiao Guifei's words, and she secretly had a plan in her heart.
Young Master Xiao saw that this was his aunt's intention, and it was not easy to stop it, but it was not easy to do this on the bright side, and it was most appropriate to let Yang Liu'er do it.
Yang Liu'er is thinking that the wedding of the third prince is imminent, and it is not good to make any big moves, but you can check it first.
Everything is decided and then acted, first find out the matter clearly and thoroughly, and then it will be much easier to act.
Yang Liu'er is not very interested in the roast duck chain restaurant and Yuzhu Pavilion, which are the two businesses on Qiao Xiaoruming's face, and what she wants to investigate carefully and thoroughly is Rongguang Pavilion.
Because she was always suspicious, Rongguang Pavilion was Qiao Xiaoru's industry.
If it is true, with the opening of Rongguang Pavilion in just these few days, it has earned so much silver, let alone hundreds of thousands a month, it can be seen that this princess of Zhongxin County is a good hand at making money, I am afraid that she will not be more reckless than herself.
If she is allowed to meddle in some other businesses, it is a matter of whether the Xiao family will be suppressed by her. Besides, the king of the faithful county is the prince's man, and she earns silver, which is the prince's money bag.
Yang Liu'er started to send Rongguang Pavilion to the Pavilion, and Qiao Xiaoru knew about it.
Since she wanted to check, Qiao Xiaoru didn't stop her, she had been preparing for so long before, everything had been well designed, no matter how much she checked, she wouldn't find herself in the end. What will be found will only be as rumored in the streets.
On this day, Lu Zhan led the people of the Ministry of Rites out of the city for ten miles to greet Yan Nanfeng, the new king of Yanqi.
For this new king of Yanqi, the curiosity in his heart is not much less than that of others, what kind of old friend? Have you ever seen an old friend who doesn't have the slightest impression in your mind?
Lu Zhan only smiled bitterly in his heart at the only horse-headed gaze cast by everyone in the Ministry of Rites, and it was natural that everything was based on him.
Around noon, Yan Nanfeng and his party finally appeared in sight.
Flags fluttering, carriages and horses are continuous, and the embassy of about 200 people, wearing the distinctive costumes of the Yanqi tribe, is very eye-catching, causing the people to stand in the distance and look curiously.
"Here, Lord Lu, let's welcome us!" Lord Lian and Lord Lin sent by the Ministry of Rites hurriedly laughed.
Lu Zhan nodded and led everyone forward.
Yan Nanfeng rode a majestic jujube red horse in front, surrounded by twenty or thirty majestic guards who also rode horses.
Seeing them ushering, Yan Nanfeng laughed loudly and turned over and dismounted, and said with a smile: "Brother Lu, don't come to harm!" ”
"King Lao Yan is worried, and he hasn't said congratulations to King Yan yet!" Lu Zhan also stepped forward with a laugh and congratulated with a smile.
Yan Nanfeng laughed and said, "Why should you be polite between you and me? I haven't seen you for a long time, and Brother Lu's demeanor is even better than in the past! ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, this should be said to King Yan below!"
Lu Zhan said, introduced the two officials of the Ministry of Rites to Yan Nanfeng, and everyone had seen each other, so they entered the city together.
Yan Nanfeng smiled at Lu Zhan again: "Why are you and my brother now divided?" Brother Lu still doesn't want King Yan to call me, I listen awkwardly, it's still as good as before! ”
Lord Lian, Lord Lin and the others subconsciously glanced at each other, and their eyes were shocked, they didn't expect that Lord Lu and this new king of Yanqi really had such a good relationship, and they were all called brothers! It's no wonder that if it weren't for this, the new king of Yanqi would not have proposed to live in the palace of Zhongxin County......
Yan Nanfeng has already said this, what else can Lu Zhan smile about? After thinking about it, he clasped his fists and smiled: "That's it, but it's disrespectful, Brother Yan!" ”
Yan Nanfeng laughed, raised his eyebrows and said, "Brother Lu, please!" ”
"Please!"
The two rode in front, and everyone cheered and followed behind.
However, no one can understand Lu Zhan's mood at this time, it is called a sour - he really has no impression of this old friend at all!
Moreover, this so-called old friend is not as close and intimate to him as he appears, on the contrary, he can feel that he is actually quite unfamiliar with himself, and all this is made for everyone to see.
Just when they met, Lu Zhan gave him a puzzled and inquiring look, what about this new king of Yan Nanfeng? He smiled indifferently and signaled him to rest assured.
Although Lu Zhan was confused, he noticed that the other party didn't seem to have malicious intentions, so he followed his words half-pushed.
In fact, they are really not good enough to call them brothers.
However, he wondered a little as if he had seen this man somewhere.
But it's just seen, and there is absolutely no deep friendship.
The group entered the city, it is said that they went to the post house, and it is obviously not suitable for the face of the king at this time today, so they must first hand over the recital sheet for inviting An Folds and requesting an audience, and then pretend to be seen tomorrow morning after being approved.
It's just that since Yan Nanfeng asked to live in the Zhongxin County Mansion in advance, of course he won't go to the post house at this time, but will go to the County King's Mansion instead.
The group entered the city gate in a mighty way, walked along the main road, and headed in the direction of the county king's mansion.
The Jiucheng Terracotta Division and the Shuntianfu had already received the news and implemented temporary closures along the way, and the lively streets in the past were clean and clean, and there was not a single idle person, and the officials of the government stood on both sides of the street with weapons in hand.
On the second floor of a teahouse next to the street, the third prince and the fourth prince sat opposite each other. Glancing at Lu Zhan, who seemed to be chatting happily with Yan Nanfeng on a horse, the eyes of the third prince flashed with a touch of complexity and gloom.
The fourth prince smiled faintly, and his slender and white fingers played with the blue glazed lotus pot that was as thin as a cicada's wings, and he was still sitting on the chair with that lazy appearance, so he was not relaxed and comfortable.
"Humph!" The third prince sneered lightly, "It seems that we all underestimated this person, but I didn't expect him to have a friendship with the new king of Yanqi." Presumably, the new king of Yanqi had an intersection with him when he was in Dahua, which is really hateful. ”
The friendship of adversity is the most rare, and the relationship between the new king of Yanqi and Lu Zhan obviously belongs to this kind of friendship, plus this was originally his own errand, and he was cut off for no reason, and the three princes were particularly awkward and unwilling.
"Brother Three Emperors, you're thinking a little too much," the Fourth Prince said lazily: "The new king of Yanqi can kill a beautiful horse pistol and fight a turnaround battle from a prince who has been excluded from the outside, how can he do it without a little ambition and means?" But how many people who have ambition and scheming means will be bound by the so-called old friendship in the past? Friendship is nothing compared to tangible benefits and benefits. ”
